🔥 Russia vs Philippines: 10 Unexpected Differences!

[@teresacartel3687]

Filipinos always smiling, laughing coz, don't think problems...we make people at at ease or feel comfortable when talking like, meeting new friends!!!

[@caintapi]

The reason we don't eat salad all the time is because MOST, not all, our dishes already has vegetables in it. We are a vegetable eating people. Just like most Asian dishes like Thai and Vietnamese dishes there is plenty of fresh leafy vegetables so there's no need to eat salad on the side. U.S. and European countries eat a lot of meat and potatoes, and salad is eaten separately because they don't normally incorporate vegetables in their dishes. Our food is all in one, everything included in it 😅

[@FarmaciaBasing]

Wow 100 percent agree.I didn't realize until reading your comment..

[@Abdul_JaculBuratsadorSalsalani]

I like this kind of upfront no reservation and pure honesty way of discussion from a Russian people point of view. I'm learning a lot from this.❤❤❤

Filipino food are designed for our climate, which is hot and humid and for farming. Our food and beverages are extra salty and sweet to replenish your body after a sweaty day of works and daily activities. Rice and other carbohydrates food in the Philippines like cassava, banana, corn and sweet potatoes can last 4 hrs of heavy works, not like bread or oatmeal only last from 2 to 3hrs and you’ll hungry. In the Philippines, even if you’re only setting without work you’re still sweating and burning your food inside your body. That’s why you need hard carbo food. And rice is one of the staple food in our country again, because of our climate which is good for rice planting. Beef, Lamb, dairy products mostly, we are not use to it in daily basis except for milk because of our weather which is hot and humid, you’re prone to high blood pressure. Fatty dairy products are mostly good for cold climate to burn fats. Almost all, because of our climate, even our flip flaps (Chenilas) are designed for our climate. Even our natural skin color (Kayumanggi) are designed by our climate. Except for our height and nose😅. Who’s with me? Comment below 👇😄

[@FriendlySergei]

Wow, interesting observations, thanks 🙏

[@fleeptough7714]

I think the nose part, the reason why people in a colder countries have higher nose bridges so that they can still breathe even if it is freezing. Imagine a Filipino nose in -42 degrees somewhere in Russia, our nose holes might be already locked due to the coldness.

[@orlandol.telesforo9597]

When we were still young our elders and parents already teach us how to respect and be hospitable to other people., we always say hello with a smile to the people we meet as a sign of welcome,. We also ask them to come and offer a free food and accomodation if they are far away, we always do helping people we call it BAYANIHAN in terms of need😊❤

[@DarlaGomez]

Yes it's true that most Filipinos eat rice 3X a day but those native ( KATUTUBO)Filipinos who lived in the mountains eat sweet potatoes, boiled bananas & casava. They eat mostly vegetables because they can't afford to buy rice, meat & fish.

Extra food spicies and beverages like tea, makes our body stinks because we are sweating a lot. Basic and simple is enough, like garlic, onion, black paper, chili, ginger, lemon grass, bay leaves and tomato. We use lots of vinegar and calamansi (lime) to neutralized fatty foods. Pickled food, very seldom, we are not use to it, because of our hot and humid weather it easily spoils stored foods, since we don’t have cold snowy weather to store and preserve. Except atsara (pickled papaya or carrots), we do most with salt and sugar preservation of food, like shrimp paste, fish sauce (bagoong), smoke meat and dry foods.

Filipinos are never late, only after 1 hour. 😄 In mostly rural areas Filipino families have more children than those in urban areas. This is not only because couples spend more romantic time together but also they can have more family members to tend to farm duties. Russia is the largest country in the world to have so much area to be utilized. In the Philippines, the growing population and limited land area, every space is maximized. Filipinos expect everyone to be smiling and charming! 😉😉😉

[@johnvillegas974]

Good observations on cultural differences....most are economic and weather related as well.

[@FriendlySergei]

Thank you. Yes it seems that all differences have a objective reasons

[@glendaraguin9086]

It's my first time here. Thank you for this comparison. I agree with you about the food bcoz of the weather. Our food taste light bcoz of our weather. The spices gives warm inside your body especially if your country is always at cold season. Wine also feels your body warm. You need more spices and wine❤. Yeah we are Catholic and Russia an Orthodox. You doctrine is different while Ph believe in Holy Trinity The Father The Son And The Holy Spirit is One. Enjoy staying in Ph. GOD BLESS.

Pancit bihon, pancit canton, lomi, Sotanghon are noodle dishes that can be eaten as viand for lunch or dinner paired with rice.😊 It can also be served as merienda food paired with toast bread.

[@jubileeevangelista7719]

In the Philippines, when someone says salad it usually is sweet, like fruit salad, buko salad and macaroni salad. The salad you talked about, we usually call them ensaylada. So we have the jackfruit ensaylad, eggplant ensaylada, pako/fern ensaylada, kangkong ensaylada, ampalaya ensaylad, camote tops ensaylada, seaweeds ensaylada like the lato and guso. Those are our salads and we usually eat them with fried or grilled fish.

We eat salad but the simple one. We call it "Insalada" especially if our dish is fried like fried fish, fried chicken and BBQ. Our main dish or main course is always put veges. So no need salad. We call this One Dish Meal bcoz there is meat, veges and soup. Like Nilaga, Sinigang, Bulalo, dish with sauce we always put potato carrots, banana, green peas, corn etc.

If you want a suggestion for salad, try Philippine chicken macaroni salad. Easy to make. Combine cooked macaroni pasta, mayonnaise, bits of cooked chicken, pineapple bits, peas and cheese cubes.

True what you say bout russians like most EU countries..the weather is cold most times and people are cold..when there is sun a bit cafe shops/ restos bring out their tables with umbrellas like fiesta going on but still no community togetherness..reason why filipinos have get together of parties for bdays or whatever groups they belong they got parties and all is invited.

[@FriendlySergei]

Yes in summer Russians more warmer 🤣

[@viene320]

Very informative video. Rice is our main sources of food as Filipinos coz its the only kind of grains that can grow whole year here and even our nearby countries. We have a salad dishes also and pickled vegetables and fruits but not maybe as like eu countries, the reason maybe you have lots pickled it just because you have a winter season its your way to preserve and do some more stocks food for the winter. Our resources can fit only due to our climate, when it comes to what plants can grow, and food we produce, even the attitude or modes of Filipinos 😅. We are tropical countries no winter season coz we are archipelago sorrounded by waters, not like as yours surrounded by huge lands.

best ginger for cold or sickness are the red ginger which we also put together with honey and calamansi, i agree with beer, cheese for most of those are imported to the Philippines unlike on your country it's abundant.

Yes asian people grow is eating rice, it's the staple food in asia especially, since it grows everywhere in asia and more economic for countries to feed over populated people, even India and Africa they eat rice as well... Yes you should try filipino salad like Ensalada salad, look for it I youtube for the recipe, Ensalada salad, kangkong salad, cucumber salad, even seaweed like lato or guso salad, those resembles with Kinilaw but seaweed instead of fish.. you can even make a pork kinilaw instead of tuna..we grill the pork meat and slice it into cubes and prepare it as kinilaw ..same ingredients. You can also try ampalaya salad...

Russia is not a Communist country. That was the Soviet Union for which Russia was part of, and the prime country. The Soviet Union fell in the late 80s.

[@jojoban6092]

The way Putin is ruling Russia and the way a lot of Russians think and being controlled and brainwashed is a communist system.. it’s just a matter of how their government is being called right now..we are not blind and deaf on what is going on in your country.. we don’t hate the individual Russians.. but we can be cautious on how Russians act in our country just because a lot of Russians still blindly follow their leader without using their own conscience..
