June 9 , 2021 , thank you mr, Reed for sharing these video , make me cry .

[@sheldmom23]

Watching this on Dec 2021 with my 87 year old mom. She usually goes to the Philippines at this time but because of Covid hasn’t been back since early 2020. Watching this video , although taken in 1990, made us both nostalgic especially listening to the ilocano songs. We can’t wait to get back once the pandemic ends or slows down.

[@kathangisip]

Nov 2020 and watching this now. Thank you for sharing your experience in our country

[@L_vidal]

Me too ☺️

[@sheldmom23]

My mom (Lola Rose to her grandchildren) and I are watching this on December 26, 2021 in Connecticut. My mom is 87 and we were looking for Filipino Christmas songs to listen to. We came across this and she and I just LOVED listening to all the Ilocano songs. We are from Ilocos Norte and we had just been in Vigan in 2020 so seeing this video made us miss the Philippines. Thanks for sharing this!!

[@borninthewrongera00]

Thank you for your documentary Sen. REED. The Philippines is not a poor country. I is rich in natural resources and scenic spots. The people are highly educated and 90% can speak English.. Please help us stop corruption. It makes the Filipinos poor.

Very beautiful documentary. Watching Philippine Christmas where I was still 11 years old.

[@divaslive6953]

Salamat po maam Jenn sa dokyumentaryong ito. Nakaka galak po at nakaka proud na ang ating mahal na bayan ay minahal at pinahalagahan din ng ibang lahi dahil ito ay alam nilang isang bansa na puno ng pagmamahal, malasakit, kagandahan at bukod sa lahat dignidad at respeto sa kahit sinong tao o lahing mapunta dito sa ating bansa. Mabuhay po kayo. Ako po ay isang OFW at sampong taon na andito sa gitnang silangan at sa panunuod ng dokyumentaryong ito ay napapawi ang lumbay at pangungulila sa inang bayan na maykatagalan naring iniwanan dahil sa paghahanap buhay para sa pamilya. Sana po kayo ay nasa mabuting kalagyan sampo ng inyong pamilya.

[@deborahrock6062]

[@ejfortalejo5941]

You know what Mr. and Mrs. Reed, If i will be given the chance to choose on which era of my life I would live again? Id still choose 90's, for it was so full of memories from my family, and my life as a child, now that I am 28 years old, many things have changed. I am now only dreaming of living in the past when my family are still complete... The aura of places in the Philippines that was shown in the video reminds me of how simple and beautiful life can be. Thank you so much for this video.

[@virgiecarriedo3360]

Cried bec i left my beautiful country in search of a better future. Grateful to GOD for bringing me to this country for a better future. TO GOD BE THE GLORY. Thank you America for allowing me and family to build our future here. And thank you for the friendship thru out these years❤🙏! May the Lord keep us all safe and in His power NO MORE WARS to break out ever again! I pray for peace on earth. In Jesus name we pray Amen!

I’ve watched these videos before but I always like to watch them again especially when I miss Philippines 🇵🇭 so much and wanted to spend Christmas again in my beloved hometown. Last time I celebrated Christmas and New Year’s with my family was year 2004 😞

[@paultejido9691]

How about watching them now, august 2020 during pandemic, thank you Americans, I love you

[@mandytalorda]

I havent watch the entire video but if this is the Baguio earthquake: I put together a musical gig up in San Francisco, USA together with our organization called Westbay on Mission district. As a volunteer to this coalition in addition to my day job on Jessie street. We donated the proceeds to this disaster, picked up couple of boxes in UC Berkeley containing medicines, canned food, blankets etc and shipped it to the philippine..

[@luisfaelnar9655]

Thank you for posting this and keeping it all these years. I will share with my friends and revive it for more new viewers.

[@user-zl9cr8kc2s]

I was just in Baguio last month visiting relatives from the States and never knew about the devastating earthquake until I got back when looking up videos this place. Thansk for sharing of the detail recovery, which put this devastation in a bigger perspective. That place has been re-built well as I couldn't tell there was an earthquake before when I was there for the 1st time in my life. Maligayang Pasko and God bless the people of Baguio :)

[@evangelineadriansen6207]
