The Philippines Versus America - Where Would A Filipina Rather Live?

#philippines #comingtoamerica
The Philippines versus America - which is a better place for a Filipina to settle down? I just returned from an extended trip to the US, so I have pretty good idea of what she'll find there, both the pros and the cons. I'll give you a look at the country through the eyes of a Filipina, and tell you which things really stood out. The Philippines versus America - an epic matchup!

When my wife first arrived in the US she couldn’t believe she was actually in a city because of how quiet she said it is. One of her first comments was also “where is everyone?” Because there were houses every where but no one outside.

[@TheListPlanet]

As an American living in SEA, that is the one striking difference for me too, everything seems so empty and lonely in the US, even larger cities. Asia is very active and bustling at the street level.

[@explorer346]

Especially now it is so quiet here in some states. I went to the mall not to many people around and some stores are closed. Lonely.

[@ghostsade3]

@@explorer346Yes, the advent of ubiquitous internet changed society. Malls used to be at LEAST twice as busy as they are on a typical day now, and I'm under 30 years old.

Yes Pea, the toothpicks were for stabbing the grapes or cheese and eating, but not many people actually do it that way. Grabbing with your hands works just as well. No one suspected you were a foreigner because you have no accent. You speak perfect English. I agree with you that tipping every worker has gotten outrageous in America and prices for any service call for a repair or just a haircut are way too high! Only 7 extra pounds? Don't worry about it.😍

[@steveswell1]

They were putting their best "foot" forward...LOL Nobody really is that picky about finger food etiquette. :)

[@ghostsade3]

I disagree, the toothpicks are most likely not for that, but for cleaning your teeth afterwards. I've literally never seen anybody in America spear a grape with a toothpick, that just sounds absurd to me. I could see them being used for the cheese and maybe olives in some sort of mini-sandwich or some similar configuration, but that's so rare it's not even worth mentioning. Where I come from (Indiana), every single person in the room would've used their fingers for the grapes AND the cheese.

[@rodgerderr-fy3qm]

I would think the toothpicks are for the cheese and cannot imagine them for the grapes. I have seen toothpicks for lunchmeat slices as well. You sometimes see a spoon if nuts are offered but sometimes not and you must use your hands. @@ghostsade3

I am a 67 year old Aussie been to the States numerous times since my first visit in 1974, sometimes staying for a few months. Most americans are friendly, polite and happy to have a discussion with you but lately meeting yanks overseas I have been amazed about their lack of knowledge about their own country. I have had to explain their history to them, their politics and I had to tell one 44 year old lady from Seattle that there are only 50 States, she thought that Pluerto Rico was a State. Sad .

[@EvolvedBonobo]

Agree 100 percent on the US tipping culture. It's out of control. Currently traveling the world and so glad I don't have to deal with any tipping at all, anywhere, in Australia, Malaysia, and many other places. In other countries where there is tipping, such as Thailand, it's maybe 10% at most.

[@jamesholden4571]

There was one waiter at a surprisingly good restaurant - I wanted to leave him a tip because he was exceptional, but he said that he could not take it. The employers PAY their waiters here. It is bizarre to me that this is even a talking point. OF COURSE employers should pay their waiters LOL

[@patrickwilliam3322]

The tipping culture thing is super recent, last 5-10 years. Before that it was cabs (but not ubers) barbers and waiters only, and maybe small amount for valets or porters at a hotel. I am in my late 30s and just ignore all other tipping than the preceding. It's basically part of the growing trend of self-victimization.

[@ghostsade3]

@@patrickwilliam3322 I agree, though I don't think that's the reason. I think it's because businesses can do tip pools and skim off the top, and of course if they can pay their workers less because they get more wages it's a win-win for them. So I agree, I typically don't tip outside of the things you mentioned.

[@AmeraPina]

As an American married to a Filipina and also living in the Philippines with her for the past six years. From my personal experience what people from the Philippines will miss the most is the closeness of family. The average family isn't that way back home. Combine all the amazing things Americans have back home and I would trade all of it in a second for the family unit in the Philippines. That is a big reason why I have never left. My in-laws are closer and treat me better than my blood family back home. Once you are accepted by the family ( AKA you get married ) you will be a part of it just like any of the others. Hope you like chismis though ahah. My mother and father in-law when my wife and I fight with each other will support me over my wife typically. Same with the grandparents, aunts, and uncles. I said the family unit is close right lol? Marriage is so much more important and binding here. That whole way of life just isn't something Americans typically have back home. The other thing is also the ability to have a more easy going relaxed life. Everything back home is fast paced. FAST FAST FAST. It is very hard to just slow down and not grind out life. That part might not be a big thing for a Filipina at the start since they are such hard workers. As time goes on though because of the fast pace and the grind it makes it so you have less time for each other. Making it less likely you spend quality time together. That is just my two cents on what I have lived through. I personally am homesick since well I am an American, but I am just so happy here overall it is hard to go back. What I mostly see is that like most people not from America they view America a lot like the mice in the movie Fievel goes West. When the mice were migrating they're singing "There are no cats in America and the streets are paved with gold." Only to find out there are cats and the streets aren't paved with gold at all. America is great, but it isn't as great as what many think. We have our problems and struggles too. Completely different kinds, but they are there.

[@todd7756]

[@alvincyrus9631]

May I ask if you are there on a tourist visa after 6 years or an SRRV? I plan on moving there in a couple years to retire with my Filipina.

[@jamesholden4571]

I have been here for four years, married, we own a townhouse. We live 6 or 7 hours' drive from most of her family. In fact, we are going for a week tomorrow, although my wife is always trying to extend to trip in conversation - a month, two weeks, etc. Her family are nice, the wedding celebration was good, but we are constantly bombarded with close and distant family requests for a money "loan." If it is not a bank loan or an important bill (as in service will be cut off if you are a day late with the payment), your "loan" goes to the back of the repayment line. Somehow, loans like that are not paid back. After all, they figure you can spare it can spare it - you are a rich American. I am on a fixed income, and what they don't see are the months in which the money runs out before the end of the month because of some unexpected repair, or yearly registration of the car, or anything else. There have been a couple of months in which we ran out of money with two weeks to go. The bills had been paid, there was food in the ref (not referee, Americans, but refrigerator) and in the cupboard. We could not do anything - we were lucky if we could scrape together the money for gas for church on Sunday. Rich American. LOL When my wife and I are at the family's place, and we get in the car to go to town for something, four or five pile in the car because they think there will be free Jollibee. We were paying utang na loob to her father - I accepted that, although I found out later that his girlfriend was mooching off of the money for his upkeep. One day before he died, she was leaving to go back to Manila for something, and on her way out, she asked me if I wanted to go to Manila with her. I did not realize that she was asking just me - I turned to my wife call out and ask her if she wanted to go to Manila, and when I turned back around, she was walking away fast. I had just been propositioned by my father-in-law's girlfriend. :-| He passed away later that year, and she did not realize that she was going to get nothing in inheritance. We have not seen her again, and good riddance. All that time, her high school age daughters had been staying in the house where we live when we go with my father-in-law, while their mother was probably scamming some other guy. The daughters were nice enough, but they are gone too. The mother is on to mooch off of someone else. There are drawbacks to staying here (traffic, basura, noise, beggars), but they are completely outweighed by the good parts - beautiful weather (endless summer), low cost of living, people in general are very nice (as long as you identify the few who will try to scam you), my wife is a gem. My church is wonderful, and they have a couple of weekly English-language Masses. I am not the Rich American there - for the most part, I am just Jim (or Sir Jim - still not used to that LOL). I have made great friends there. I wish I was picking up on the Tagalog more quickly, but one of the choir members usually whispers the translation of the homily (Taglish) in my ear. All in all, we will go for a two-week visit sometime when we can afford it, but I am pretty much staying here in the Philippines with my wife, and since she knows how almost everything works, she can boss me around, and that makes her happy LOL - all the while calling me "Boss." Funny how that works out ;-) But I am very happy here. I miss my US family and friends, but that is what Facebook and KZbin are for. This is my new home.

[@AmeraPina]

@@jamesholden4571 isn't funny how women back home say we picked a Filipina so we can have a slave? Little do they know how these little women of terror can be very dominate at times!! lol. The way my wife gets to jump through hoops is because she makes me so damn happy!! I end up moving a mountain before even asking why lol. I laugh to myself at times how my wife can make me feel like the king of my castle while at the same time making me jump through hoops. I get the same thing about utang. My reply is always pulubi na ako! lol. I do help the family though just not through actual cash. Since from my personal experience has shown me money is very poorly managed most times. I also never carry cash and when asked for money by strangers I just point at my wife and we typically will buy food for kids or something to that nature. When the family asks for money from my wife she just says you have to talk to my husband since it is up to him. Which oddly enough filters about 95% of the people asking for utang. Then the 5% that do ask me are typically the ones with serious problems. IE the problem is bigger than worrying about the nose bleed.

[@AmeraPina]

@@alvincyrus9631 I originally came on a tourist visa. It is very easy to extend the tourist visa out like two years if I remember correctly. When I married my wife I became a permanent resident. Which if you are married is very easy to get to. Although very annoying to deal with immigration when applying. Basically they will tell you everything looks good then when you go back they say you are missing something. Happened four times to me. My advice would be to get married. Then get a permanent resident visa. There are other ways to get that status as well. Having a Filipina spouse in my opinion is the easiest way to get it. You 100% want to be a permanent resident too and not a tourist. Since you can't have a bank account here if you aren't a permanent resident amongst other things.

Hello Pea, as someone who has traveled to many different regions of the Philippines many times, your experience in America is similar to mine in the Philippines. You got to experience the Southern way of life in America which is completely different than a place like Los Angeles, Chicago or New York City. My experience in Luzon Island (Manila)is different than my experience in a place like Davao City. The way I was treated, the food, the culture, the hospitality will definitely differ in different regions. I am definitely glad you got to experience the nicest, and most hospitable part of the U.S. they are indeed very kind down south. I hope your next trip will be in the West Coast from San Diego up to Seattle.

I absolutely agree. The Pea has really seen the best the country has to offer. It does go down hill from here, though, especially at major financial hubs for the country. Here in Vancouver (Canada), people are polite, but about as cold as a glacier in Alaska. There are incredibly significant differences in the attitude of people in the south of the US to other places. Overall, though, there's nowhere I'd rather be in America than Texas, Alabama, or some such state. Really decent people there.

Hi Pea, Thanks so much for the kind comments about the US. Folks in the South are definitly friendly. Prices of everyhing from rent to gas has jumped up considerably. The cost of living where I am is not as bad as a lot of places. A lot of people are going to steaming TV instead of satilite or cable. I basically pay double than what my filipina friend pays for interent and 3 times as much for TV service. Yes there is plenty of great food here. My weight is like a yoyo .Up and Down .

I'm glad that you enjoyed yourself here.

[@Crazykid949]

Pea: It's great that you got to experience more differences in cultures first hand from the Philippines and the United States. This is something that many wish to do, but sadly so many cannot. Learning about other places around the vast world we live in is a great way to actually see how huge this planet is, yet find out how small it can seem as well in some of the similarities as well as the differences. Personally I loved this series of videos because you gave so much respect to the country you visited. I've heard stories and watched videos about people traveling to other countries and did not do their research on what would and would not be allowed in the form of attitude from people in those countries, while finding themselves in a deep pile of doo-doo they created for themselves, and begging for their home country to bail them out. But it came with no surprise to me that you packed a big bag of respect and handed it out like Santa hands out Christmas presents on Dec.25th. You are just the type of person that knows that you must give respect in order to receive it. As far as bringing a Filipina back to the Western society, it all comes down to a person to person basis. Being that every person is unique, so is every situation in that matter. Maybe a trial period to see how she adjusts to the mind altering differences. Or even suggest a series of long visits to help her become aware of the differences rather than just plucking her out of the Philippines and trying to plant her in the West. As for the weight gain, you actually did awesome to not gain much more than that! Many people would have thought double that with all the new exciting flavors and portion sizes. Just the portion sizes would have had a huge part in that, but the added flavor excitement would have kept the taste buds wanting more. I am so glad that your trip was filled with happiness and safety, and I wish you many more adventures in the future to video and bring to your channel for us to enjoy as well.

[@bobfoster2686]

"Learning about other places around the vast world we live in is a great way to actually see how huge this planet is, yet find out how small it can seem as well in some of the similarities as well as the differences." Dead on correct!!! Sadly, only around half of Americans even have passports. Possibly in part due to finances (international travel can be expensive), and possibly also because America is so huge an varied that you can take a vacation every summer for life here and still only see a fraction of what the country has to offer. Also partly because sheer geographical logistics. In the EU, you can hop on a train and be in two or three (even four, depending) countries in a single day. But America is functionally a (really gigantic) island. Its at least a four or five hour flight from NYC just to set foot in Europe, and even longer from LAX to Asia. Still, I wish Americans traveled more. Really does enlarge one's perspective. And Americans are blessed with a "strong" Passport. It will get you into all but a dozen or so of the world's 192 countries without even needing a Visa, or easily getting one on arrival (and would you really want to vacation in North Korea anyway? 🤣).

I have been anticipating this summary of your visit to the USA!

[@johnedgar7956]

Hi Pea! Thank you for coming to visit us here in the American south. 🙂 Rents for apartments and such were not always this bad. Prices for rent and stuff SKYROCKETED after the pandemic. In 2019 and earlier (for the most part, anyway), prices here for literally anything were far more reasonable. I live in a place where the cost of living is not so bad compared to the rest of the USA but I have to pay nearly $100/month for internet, which I have to have for my work-from-home job. I really, really miss the days of $20/month internet and I'm scratching my head on where the heck you found it here. 🙂Also...most of us don't like licorice either, ha ha! I hope you come back to see us really soon!

[@TheFilipinaPea]

Thanks John! My internet was a ‘basic’ one that came with the apartment, but it was still faster than mine at home 👍

[@billable1861]

Pretty sure you can write that off on your taxes as a work expense.

[@umaiar]

My guess is that we define "fast Internet" differently from someone coming from the Philippines. I'm paying $95 for 600 Mbps on fiber to the door. I'd imagine that's a heck of a luxury in many smaller countries.

Next time you come to the USA come to the Pacific NW Very differnt than the South, Not better but just different. My Filipina wife and I would be glad to host you and loan you a car. Great report. Many thanks.

[@andrewkamchi7478]

I would say this was a good introduction to the US but the magic is really in the Northeast, Southwest or Northwest of the US. Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, California, Oregon, etc are the absolute best places to visit for someone like yourself who comes from a tropical / relatively flat part of the world. I don’t hold it against you that you didn’t reach out when you were in Savannah :P, and I hope you get to experience some of the other places I mentioned in the future. Welcome home…

[@rememberstayangry2366]

I would tell people to avoid most of those places. Especially California and Oregon. Other than those states having a different climate than the Philippines. Why those states? What do you think a person should see in them?

Your American tour videos were awesome! I am glad that you had a wonderful experience here in the south and everyone treated you kindly. I am sure you are glad to be back home safely. You look great, but I understand if you feel more comfortable at a lighter weight. That isn't bad for being away for almost 3 months and we do have a lot of great food over here, but there is excess sugar, salt, and other additives in our food. Thanks for the great content and I am looking forward to seeing what you do next.

[@user-sz8gu8ik2r]

Hi Pea. I am an American living in the Philippines. I have been here for 4 years. I have a quick story for you. I went on a 7 day cruise before moving here. Went with a couple of friends. We weighed one friend because we knew he was going to eat a lot. He figured he paid for it when he paid for the cruise. He had breakfast, lunch & dinner everyday. He ate at every midnight buffet except one. When we got home from the cruise we weighed him again. He had gained 12 pounds in 7 days. So you gaining just 7 pounds in 3 months is not as bad as you think. Just thought you would like the comparison so you don't feel so bad. Enjoy your videos, keep it up.

[@sandrabentley8111]

When I was in the Philippines in March, I lost 5 pounds. I am here again in Palawan, and we will see how it goes. I know a lot of it is the different activities that I do here.

We are both physically fit, so I think we will do alright.

[@WhatDayIsItTrumpDay]

The thing about random conversations with strangers...yes, that is possibly the one thing that is totally unique to the US (and possibly Canada, but I'm not sure). But yeah, we Americans are quite open and friendly that way. Because how else are you going to meet new people? Sometimes on vacations, you might see someone or people repeated times and you might strike up a conversation with them. I remember growing up and going down to the Gulf Coast or in Florida and finding people from our little small hometown. My mother or aunt would often make those contacts because they were teachers and could talk your head off, and they knew a LOT of people. Sometimes we'd literally run into our neighbors on a trip hundreds of miles away. But on a personal note, I had an online Filipina Girlfriend back in 2017/18, and whenever I told her I talked to someone out in public, she literally thought I was cheating on her. I was like "No hun, it's just what we do here in the US. It's called common courtesy when someone asks you a question, you politely answer it, and vice versa. No harm in that, right? I don't know if she ever accepted my explanation, because she was one of those extremely jealous types. Ironically, near the end of our relationship, I found out that she could have been cheating on me the whole time we were together, because some other American dude claimed to have been talking with her the whole time. But who knows? Besides, her immigration plan made absolutely no sense to me and our needs, so it was then that I kinda decided that the relationship wasn't working out. Her plan was to move to California to stay with a childhood friend that had already immigrated here, but I'm in the Midwest in Illinois, some 1800 miles away at minimum, and so like what would be the purpose of her immigrating if we weren't going to be together? None. Absolutely worthless. So I called off the relationship shortly after this revelation. Never internet dated after that. 😂

Hello Pea , I lived in the US for a year many years ago in Cleveland Ohio I loved it there it was like no other place i had ever been to they had everything and it was cheap compared to living in the UK. I ended up in Canada I have been here now 40+ years , would I do it again probably not it has changed so much , here in BC where I live very expensive now lots of homeless and drugs we dont seem to have any law everybody seems to have rights , they is such a lack of respect . I love the way your country the Philippines have rules people and companies present everything well nice uniforms in banks hotels and large store ie SM all the staff look so good it gives me a good feeling . There is a saying the grass is alway greener on the other side . Moving to another country is a very big step and even a bigger step to be happy. Most people in meet here from the Philippines really miss there homeland and would love to go back but the pay cheque in North America is so needed to help the family. I am happy you got to spend 3 months in the US i found your view very interesting but you are a true Filipina at heart so I dont expect to see you moving there :) anyway we would all miss your videos from the Philippines .

The United States is a great country to live in but there are flaws. I think the politicians running the country are too old and incompetent. One can qualify for social security benefits and is considered old enough to retire in their early sixties meanwhile half of the political leaders are in their seventies and eighties. The current administration is the worst of my lifetime. The average American is a moron. If it’s not celebrity gossip, something entertaining on social media, or a popular opinion that a biased news outlet that they trust says the average American knows nothing. Honestly I don’t think the American men in the comment section should bring a Filipina woman or any foreign woman to live in the states while she’s still in her twenties or thirties because she will be easily influenced by how the average American women in their twenties and thirties act.

That was a great video Pea. I grew up in the South and I miss it there. I now live in the western U.S. The one thing that I like here is the weather and the wide open spaces. But I miss the people from the South. I noticed a profound difference. People in the South when I lived there were much more friendly and wanted to know each other and there was much more of a feeling of community. Here in the west, people seem more unfriendly and unwelcoming and rude and it is harder to get to know your neighbors and make friends.

7 lbs is not an unusual gain for being on vacation. for anyone, anywhere. I thank you for seeing we are not a racist country. There are isolated incidents that are used for political purposes BUT it does not reflect this country as a whole. I am a 72 year old military veteran who attended the first integrated school in Florida in 1967 and we never had an issue. We had every mix of culture. we studied together, played together, worked together, etc. When in the military it was the same. I learned to appreciate and respect every culture I encountered in my lifetime and I have been to many places. I am so happy you told it like it is. As in every culture in every country there are those few who like to cause trouble. Here, unfortunately, these infrequent circumstances are picked up by the media and used to push whatever the political agenda is recently. When I was a kid, my traditional southern grandma would have slapped me upside the head if I ever disrespected anyone. Again, I cannot thank you enough and sorry I missed you when you were here in Florida .

I am a Mexican-American and have many friends who are Filipinos. One Filipina told me she was involved in an auto accident with another car that was driven by a Mexican. The Mexican person asked my Filipina friend if she spoke Spanish (assuming my Filipina friend was a fellow Mexican). My Filipina friend informed the other driver that she did not speak Spanish. The Mexican driver called my Filipina friend a "sell-out" because she did not speak Spanish. This example shows how Filipinos and Mexicans are familiar in appearance and mannerisms.

[@jlawrence0181]

After walking through many cities in Mexico, Puerto Rico, and watching hours of KryptoTrekker's walked through the various areas in Central Luzon, I have to admit that there are great similarities in the culture despite language differences. Having worked in maquiladoras and in Filipino call centers, a lot of the mannerisms are very similar.

Something that surprises me is not the wildlife you saw on your travels, but the lack of wildlife in the Philippines. I live in Toronto, I believe it is something like the 10th largest city in North America and my back yard sounds like a wildlife jungle compared to what you said about the Philippines. I have raccoons, squirrels, rabbits, skunks, foxes, cats, porcupines, and I've also come across a couple small snakes (non-venomous). I have even seen a wolf on my street just a couple houses down from me one night. Not to mention all the birds. There were also a couple other animals that I'm not 100% sure what they were, but I only saw them once or twice.

Hi Pea, very good topic. I live in the US for 4 years then moved in Europe living same country for the past 40 yrs. I’ll say no matter how much gourmet you’ve eaten nothing can be compared to Home Sweet Home. Food in foreign countries are good much more in Europe but when you’re eating it everyday you still long for the food you grew up. Much more you missed the bonds from your families, relatives and friends you’ve had before. Despite my families are in the US but honestly almost everyone I knew prefers to go home. That Filipino interaction even among strangers, smiling, friendliness, the vibes, the jokes, the warmth of our Kababayan that we carried anywhere we go. One priest said, if the church is full up and huge participation there’s Filipino community. I traveled much anywhere but only in our country I felt relaxed.

I am so happy and proud of Americans for our good behavior and relieved at the same time! 1st impressions are critical! There is an image people have of America that you saw firsthand wasn’t accurate. Americans are Very friendly, and yes, we will talk to anyone around us like we’ve known them for years. We are not only friendly but helpful as well. There’s always someone around you who is willing to help if needed, no questions, no expectations, just to help, then they move on with their day. That’s the way we are. My favorite example is a N. Korean refugee who made it to America, she didn’t speak English, had a bag of groceries which fell and all the people around her stopped to help her pick everything up. Would not have happened where she is from. She was apologetic for not speaking English and people here told her that’s ok we’re sorry we don’t know Korean for you. And my absolute personal favorite is how friendly men were to her with no expectations, and as she said “Asian women are popular in America”! Hahaha… Americans love all women, but something about Asian women really draws our attention and captivates us. Again, no expectations, we just enjoy having you around!

Thank you for your comments on "feeling welcome, and not looked down on." Racism is used as a tool in the US to subjegate certain groups.

[@woodspirit98]

I do agree that racism is a tool used by some to shut down other people's freedoms like the first amendment but it's not because of racism per se.i do disagree with your prejudicial statement about the northeast and the south. When I live in the south for several years I was shocked that everyone used the N word when talking to black and about them. And I'd never been stopped by police in the north ever for having a Yankee or rebel license plate like I was in the south and threatened by police to spend a weekend in jail unless I had some cash for the sheriff. So I guess that's how southerners display friendliness. In my day the preferred term wasn't racism, it was prejudice. Like when people generalize about groups of people and assume they're all alike. It's based on ignorance.

Hello Pea, one thing I don't see many vloggers talk about is the large filipino-american communities that exist in some areas, usually where there are big military bases such as Virginia Beach. When I brought my filipinaq wife here I had the benefit of her friend marrying someone I was stationed with so she had an existing friend when we moved here.
