Why Foreigners Love the Philippines 🇵🇭

This is why Foreigners love the Philippines! Once again, I was lost in a local market, and some friendly people led me to the place I was looking for. When I arrived, two gentlemen invited me to sit for coffee and we had a nice conversation. The coffee at Madge Cafe in the La Paz Market is some of the best you will find.
Afterwards, I set out toward a local plaza and found some street food and drinks, including some Taho and a new rice treat I hadn't tried yet.

Coffee on a hot day for Filipinos because why not lol

[@tatertravels]

I was told this is how it's done 😂

[@eduardochavacano]

Coffee culture is not really as huge as it is in Vietnam and Indonesia. Filipinos drink soft drinks that is the culture.

[@capdatzme19]

Hi there Tater, sure sounds like you can use a bit of cooling off from all the heat by going to Buaya Beach or Dapdap Beach in the city of Iloilo. Being out in the downtown areas can be strikingly hot & not as relaxing/enjoyable during your visit. Hopefully you will get a quick chance to chill during your travels. Lovin your travel vids vibes❣

[@mllamido72]

hey mr potato man😂 enjoy your adventures. stay safe new follower here🤛

[@marichuarmodia2375]

Enjoy the Philippines culture

[@margaritalagumbay8310]

Kakaiba talaga dito sa atin sa Pilipinas kahit na nag aapoy sa init nagkakape pa rin, mawala na daw lahat 'wag lang daw yung kape😅🤣🤣🤣❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@edzelzapico3601]

Always keep the change that's good

[@helenbeltran6275]

You really would have a culture shock on the weather here when you are used to a cold place. I like your attitude being as friendly as the Filipinos. I enjoyed watching you trying all the street food that you bump into and giving the vendors some tips. I think the yellow one the cassava cake is the margarine. This is a travel and food vlog combination. 😄 New subscriber here. 😉

[@therealisticteam2760]

wish i could meet this guy

[@YourFilipinaPaige]

🫡♥🇵🇭ILOILO- the city of l♥ve..thank u for this vid..eases my longing for my hometown...that is Jaro District- It's actually the first center of Iloilo..You just came thru that historical church and belfry. 😊puto lanson is from a rootcrop called Balinghoy (cassava). Yellow usually coz of butter or margarine.

[@vidgood8682]

the best part is that you could have conversation with locals cause they speak english. well it depends on their education too lol

[@edzelzapico3601]

Wow taho street drinks no problem street food

[@raditopabanelas3264]

Nice one bro, Try also to visit our place here in Naga,Cebu

Tater idol that is a good combination for native coffee and cassava rice cake it's good in morning time taking coffee with cassava ricecake i hope you injoy it

[@gericornista8133]

I'm like U Jacob when I was back home would still drink a hot coffee in spite of that heat!! Love to dip puto in my coffee too!!

[@TheLoneWanderer19]

Puto lanson or aripahol is made of cassava. The "church" across the plaza is called Jaro Cathedral aka National Shrine of the Lady of Candles (Patron Saint of Western Visatas) or Nuestra Senora de la Candelaria in Spanish.

[@Rimurutempest12894]

Try food called"dinugoan"

[@BongiePilapilMacas]

Hi Tater you new friend here from Texas❤

[@Ana-rw5sp]

Hello sir welcome to our country🎉

[@gringbel]

Have you tried the BUTSBAK / Soup #5? If not, go to Sta. Cruz, in Villa. If You take a jeepney, ask the driver to drop you at chapel, from there ask locals there to point you wheres the soup #5. Also since you're in Jaro, better try Patpat's Kansi, im sure you'll love it. Enjoy exploring the City of Love!

[@TopShinoA]

ah yes just like how we do it a hot coffee in a blazing hot day

Since your a foodie you should go to Roxas City ...part of Iloilo...it's the seafood capital of Philippines.

[@miguelguerrero76]

pls be careful out in the streets because the heat index these days is scorchingly high... hydrate yourself well and stay more in the shade. ☺☺☺

[@LiLchoi]

nice 👍 iloilo ❤

[@Doc_Yupeng]

Hi Tater, The one you eat with a color yellow is called Puto Lanson, made of casava and little bit of coconut strips

[@timmytravels23]

I saw your Costco card. Haha. Talaga

[@kusinerodeleon7189]

Hi Tater! I see you endured the Philippine heat so it must be that you liked it here. Seeing you liked black coffee, try sprinkling a pinch of sea salt and lessen your sugar unless it's the muscovado type, and taste the difference!

Thank you for helping out the vendors. You have a very generous heart. God will bless you more. I was just surprised cause the taho was too overpriced. (maybe I am mistaken, about the pricing in IloIlo ).

[@marcial5003]

hot tea or coffee makes you climatize if drink cold stuff it makes you more feel hot

Hi Tater! Aside from vlogging, do you also work here in The Philippines? Safe travels! 😊
