Church is the structure or place of worship. Parish is the community, or the area or locality of where the church is located, often named after a saint as a patron.

[@marinang4904]

Church stands for many kinds for example catholic or protestant and etc. Parish for community or baranggay while chapel for small residents area ( eskinita ).

[@alexbabiera7860]

The church is the mystical body of Christ, composed of the Christians inside a parish, a local congregation or a local administrative district , while a chapel is the place of worship. Sometimes, the church may refer to the structure or a place of worship but the Church is really the gathering of Christians, headed by Jesus Christ. The parish is headed by a priest.

[@yaaaraves8951]

Correct, and parish under the pastoral care of a priest.

Any occasion in the Philippines will always lead to good food. And we're all for it.

[@Xneutron1]

As a filipino this is true. Even funerals serve good food

[@Qvotes]

I love how wholesome and candid your contents are. An honest to goodness Filipino slice of life 😊

[@ErickChamu]

Thank you so much! Glad you're enjoying the videos ❤️

[@johnmichaelcanares2633]

This is so wholesome. Made me feel nostalgic.

[@frankthetank1337]

A parish is a Christian community within a church, while a church is a physical building where people worship.

[@renpinero3171]

Parish and a church are both places of worship. But. .a parish is a church which has administrative powers. It has a certain territory or covering an area of supervision. If you're familiar with state of Louisiana which has heavily catholic population instead of counties , they refer it as parishes.

[@krdiaz8026]

Nope. A parish is an area under the authority of a parish priest. Several parishes make up a diocese. A parish church is the official church of the parish where most masses and sacraments are held. In a larger parish, there could be smaller chapels where mass could also be celebrated, so the people don't have to travel to the parish church.

[@aip_lebasi]

I really like it whenever Erick says, "Thank you po" Haha. Thank you, Erick!

[@ErickChamu]

I learned "po" and I ran with it 😂

[@raffyching4025]

Thanks for coming bro, you gained a new subscriber 👍 more power

[@RockWell-f6e]

What else can you ask for? You are dreaming the happiness that many others want.

[@chrismill5303]

catholic wise, Church means the whole body of Christ from the pope to the last backsliding parishioner. church small c means the building. a parish is something different, it's like Church but on a local level. the people or community who regularly hear mass in a specific church and attend its activities are parishioners or members of that certain parish. it's the parish that administers the church. a parish may be large like in our city's basilica, or small like in our neighborhood. there are even parishes that don't have a church building, especially in places where religious practices may have to be kept under wraps. anyway, that's as far as i could distinguish them 😊

[@kylegharz1074]

Binyag sharon always present 🎁

[@dementedchris]

Ngl whenever you pointed to that old tree by the church, I bit my finger (old superstition that it’s bad luck) 😂 Thanks for sharing-it made me miss BF.

[@DamaSo-f5d]

Naniniwala ka Dios tapos naniniwala ka sa badluck.

Oh god, it sounds like I missed up 😂

[@bernadetteoneill7014]

Nice vlog of the Christening & Opus mall. Welcome to Christendom baby Amanda. ✝️🎉🕊⚘💐 Just subbed. How long have you been in the Phils, Erick. You seem to enjoy it! Welcome. 🎉😊

[@ErickChamu]

Thank you so much for the sub 😄❤️ Regarding your question: On paper, I've been here 5 years, but in reality it's been more like 2-3 years...I came for the first time in 2019, then came back again in 2020, but two weeks later the COVID lockdown happened...I basically got stranded here. So, I didn't really get to start enjoying the Philippines until late-2022 after I came back again, I basically haven't left since.

[@traexielicious]

Subbed already i love your videos ! You are my new Teacher Vlogger! I get to learn more bits and pieces about my country and i thank you ! I love your Holiday videos and now i used them to go to sleep they are all so calming!

[@ErickChamu]

Thank you so much for the support! Stay tuned for me! (I'll make sure to not do any crazy edits so I don't disturb your sleep 🤭)

[@traexielicious]

@ i cannot wait for the next Christmas season , what you did about the Christmas 2024 and new year 2025 was really awesome ! My mom just passed last year of July and your videos kinda helps me get through because she likes Christmas videos when she was here and i can never thank you enough for the kindness of you couple 🙏 thank you!

[@traexielicious]

Thank you so much! 😊 Stay tuned for more

A parish is the area under the eccleciastical authority of a parish priest. Several parishes make up a diocese, which would then be under a bishop. Several dioceses make up the whole church which is under the pope. The parish church is the official church of the parish where most masses and the other sacraments are done. It's also where the priest lives. A larger parish can have smaller chapels owned by the community where masses can be celebrated so the people don't have to travel far. A chapel is NOT a small church, but is any church that is for private use, i.e. used by a specific group of people according to their specific needs, hence churches inside hospitals and campuses are called "chapels" even if they are not small.

[@Cmon-b8s]

A parish is a Christian community within a church, while a church is the building where the community worships.

[@JayTamayo-k3s]

That's nice! I noticed that you guys had the "Solo" baptism. Doing so, the parents and god-parents miss the valuable lessons that should have been learned in "PRE-BAPTISM seminar." I do that. It's an hour of lesson with parents, ninong and ninang (god-parents). It's a CRUCIAL seminar/ingredient if they want them to fulfil their role for the betterment of the child. I hope the priest gave the lessons necessary.

[@keithferryaguilar630]

Best part of the Binyag is the Food after the ceremony 😂

[@ErickChamu]

😂

[@thebackpackerph]

Parish is the geographic area the church (physical structure) services. Think of something like Parishes in Louisiana. So parish church is the church of the parish :)

[@me.monako]

That's my church! :)

[@ErickChamu]

Nice!

[@downthispath6538]

Wait the Max in Paranaque? I've attended so many birthdays and binyags there haha!

[@ErickChamu]

No way, that's awesome! I honestly hadn't noticed a Max was there, it's so nice!

[@juliuspalamos7863]

Nice one

[@marilousumo226]

Church is the actual church or building or structure .. parish I think refers to the church including all people members of the community

[@HisLife1994]

they will build new Ayala Mall next to Opus Mall.

[@prof.ezzorgauld7086]

Gru uploaded another video! You're now a "Ninong (First-Class Uncle)" instead of a "Tito (uncle)" I'm just exaggerating, keep up the videos, parekoi (my bro)

[@ErickChamu]

I wasn't a Ninong this time, but I am definitely a Ninong already 😂

[@RickieBobbie0721]

Thanks for vlogging the best parts of town. I get embarrassed when people vlog about the worst and miserable parts of the Philippines. I mean, I wouldn’t go to ghetto places here in America and show the whole world the dark side of America is like. The same with the Philippines. I only like to see the great and best parts of the Philippines.

[@ErickChamu]

Honestly, there’s so much to love about the Philippines, and I’m always excited to highlight its rich culture, warm people, and amazing places...I mean, the Philippines easily has some of the most beautiful places and people in the world, it's not really that difficult to show how amazing this place is. I think there's still some room for showcasing certain places that are economically challenged or that have been forgotten altogether in a meaningful way, but the way some vloggers do it is pretty cringe...they probably mean well, I try not to see malicious intent in their actions, but it can be tough to watch.

[@andoylanggid]

That one ninong is sporting a mullet. Are mullets back in style?

[@aylinpatacsil846]

Yeah kinda. It's part of this weird thing nowadays. You get the ugliest part of each generation: 70s Pervstache, 80s Mullet, 90s Baggy pants, 2000s Crocs, 2010s Tote bag, 2020s Baggy tops...Voila, Homeless Chic.

[@earllong6661]

Here in the Cordilleras mullets is common as you can see it in MMA Igorot fighters

[@alvinandanar7559]

@@earllong6661 it never went out of style in the Cordilleras

That's Ninong Tom 😂 But yes, I feel like mullets are definitely back in in style, especially the "modern mullet"

Parish is a church village like Parish Priest..Church is where peoples attending the daily mass hold weddings n baptisms….

[@ricardoburdeos7498]

[@cardinalwilson8034]

you should visit old churches all over Philippines

[@ErickChamu]

My girlfriend's mom suggested that as well! She even offered to come with us 🤭 but I'll probably start at the San Agustin Church and go from there whenever I come around to this topic

[@cardinalwilson8034]

@ErickChamu that sounds great!

[@AguilosFamilyTV]

Dude, how is driving in Manila compared abroad?

[@ErickChamu]

Honestly, driving in Manila can be scary at times xD Driving in any city you can expect chaos but Metro Manila is a different beast. Getting used to roads being so narrow, cars being super close at all times, constantly having motorcycles within inches of me, and there always being traffic wasn't easy...Also, in the US it's all about defensive driving and respecting the right of way, but in the Philippines you HAVE TO learn how to drive offensively. Getting used to being an offensive driver while still being cautious took me a while, I literally felt like I was breaking every rule I ever learned in California. I think the main difference between driving in Metro Manila and Los Angeles, California (a city known for it's heavy traffic, especially during Rush Hour and the holidays) is that in Manila the organized chaos is king...with vehicles weaving in and out of lanes and motorcycles taking every available gap, I pay 100% more attention when driving in Manila than any other place

[@AguilosFamilyTV]

@@ErickChamu looks like you can make a vlog about it 🤣

[@ChristopherFuncion-s2h]

how many years have you been in the Philippines? 😃😃😀😀😅😀😅🙄😊🙂😶❤️

[@ErickChamu]

Technically 5...but two of those years were the Pandemic lockdown so, in reality 2-3 years 🤭

[@ninoreyes-i3w]

A Parish Church is the main church of that community.

[@SamaKaNa]

Have your parents visited you guys yet?

No not yet 👀 hopefully we can make it happen soon!

No sago gulaman? Edit: to push that "snack" aka meal 😂

You might want to know the other meaning of binyag.

[@MiaSophiaSBarrido]

Umm it is not Binyag it is Bonyag

[@ErickChamu]

Is Bonyag a regional difference in spelling?

[@orlandobangayan8178]

Ninong & Ninang, sponsor has responsibility during baby baptist you must guide him until they grow up as a Christian.

[@helabiano]

Why did you wear black? 😅

[@JoshuaAJVlog]

Di ba First Time nya mag attend ng binyag kita mo nman sguro sa tittle d pa nya KASE alam common sense

[@RhenItsuki]

Even the photographer wears the black shirt lolz 😅

[@imuphere]

Because he's Gru. Gru's attire is always black

[@ErickChamu]

There’s really nothing to it, I just didn’t notice I didn’t have any clean white shirts until that same morning 😂 but luckily the dress code was smart-casual, which is why a lot of people wore black, brown, or just the most formal attire they had…only the Ninongs and Ninangs were required to wear white (for obvious reasons)

[@captainAceDenzel]

i hate you Erick😢 joke...why only now upload video 😅? im just waiting so so so so so so so so much (long)

[@Rockwell10]

I always wonder why you did not choose Thailand but Philippines. You should have made a specific video about this so that all the other Foreigners can have a better understanding. There are a lot of Foreigners in Thailand you know.

[@ErickChamu]

The simple answer to why the Philippines over Thailand: My future wife is from here...I met her before I knew anything about the Philippines...she could've easily been from Indonesia, or Colombia, or anywhere and I would've been making content about that country...but I do love it here very much, and I'm very thankful I ended up here. Maybe one day I'll make a video talking about how I met my girlfriend and comparing the Philippines to other countries like Thailand...but first I feel like I should visit Thailand with my girlfriend to better compare and contrast 🤭
