This is HOW THEY TREAT YOU in the PHILIPPINE PROVINCE! 🇵🇭

My weekend trip with my boy ‪@kayyywild‬ to Bulacan (San Miguel) has finally come to and end. On our last day we really shown how amazing the Filipino hospitality can really be. Everyone we have met this whole weekend has not only welcomed us with open arms but has also made us feel part of the Filipino family. We have made many friends that we will miss and it just goes to show that you have to venture out of the city and explore the "real philippines"

Hey everyone! Hope you had an amazing Christmas and are enjoying the final days of 2023! Soon it will be time for the new year! Here is the final Bulacan episode, I hope you enjoy it 😊 We had an incredible time here thanks to our friend Rupert, his beautiful family and everyone else who we met that welcomed us with open arms! What was your favourite part of the 3 part series? Let me know below! Look forward to reading your wonderful comments 😄 Tomorrow the videos will head to Cebu! Much Love! 💖

[@charmsmanz6204]

I somehow felt emotional when you were saying your goodbyes to this amazing family. ♥️♥️♥️

[@JbFactTravelVlog]

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

[@QataLines]

It's nice to see you guys enjoying and exploring our beloved Philippines.😊

[@Chikai16]

Merry Christmas, Josh!

[@amaliahightower]

I love all the San Miguel videos!

[@bendee4482]

This is one of the best example on how you should act as a foreigner in Philippines. Respect our culture, respect our people, smile and be friendly. The next thing you will know, you have a new family that is genuinely love and care for you. 🤘

[@TheJourneyofJosh]

Very happy to hear that! I think we may already have that family haha. Thanks so much for the support and kind words 🤘

[@marvinnatividad4895]

I got teary-eyed on the last part when you were saying goodbyes and Mama Nette hugged you. I saw how genuine this family is. They treated you as their sons. A true and good representation of a Filipino Family. ❤

[@Cgtlfa]

Compared to the other foreign vloggers you guys put the most effort in speaking Tagalog it seems… It’s pretty good I must say! Respect ✊🏼

[@Victory4ever]

As a tourist, you will get the most of your adventure with humility and open mindedness! Glad to see you experiencing the true Filipino culture😊!

[@TheJourneyofJosh]

I always keep an open mind and say yes to everything, you never know what will happen! 😄

[@mimiblitberg]

You are truly “adopted” by this family and I hope you won’t forget about them when you guys move on. We really mean it as Filipinos when we consider someone a part of the family. ❤❤❤. Also, your tagalog is coming along really well! I view other vloggers in the Philippines and although they use a local rice every once in awhile, you guys really try to incorporate it. Extra props for calling everyone either kuya or ate. Very touching to see the “Mano po” 😊

[@R.S.407]

Happy that I chose to book flights to the Philippines arriving in April, If I receive even half the amount of the friendly welcome like you boys have I'll be over the moon👍☺

[@oscieestanislao5840]

Just be respectful and friendly and learn a little tagalog words. It goes a long way. Mano po gesture to the old folks will definitely love you.

[@R.S.407]

@@oscieestanislao5840 Thanks for sharing that helpful tip, looking forward to visiting that beautiful part of the world.

[@theonlyjacknicole]

We are most gracious you chose the Philippines as your next destination! As we all say, Mabuhay! (Welcome!)

[@nestorlisondra]

To Rupert and family, thank you very much for showing to Josh and Connor our Filipino hospitality. Apart from our country's beautiful natural physical resources, the hospitable, welcoming and kind people we are Filipinos are great assets. To Josh and Connor, thank you very much, indeed, for your enthusiasm in immersing in our culture. In the process, you help promote our local tourism. Be safe and enjoy the rest of your journey into the Philippines and to the rest of your global journey.

[@Leandro-zm4qu]

Respect begets respect. And this is what the two of you have been showing to your Filipino hosts and to the Filipinos in general. It's no wonder that you are warmly welcomed. Continue delving into the Filipino culture brothers. Stay safe and God bless.

[@ryanestrada1215]

Consider Philippines as your second home from now on. That family will always take care of you whenever you visit. Filipinos always have time for visitors. It's part of our culture. We treat visitors dearly, as long as they're polite and respectful!

[@ricolames2475]

That's how filipino Province people treat everyone. ❤

[@partyeslife8157]

see, this is why i like you guys. you guys are all positive vibes. authentic and real.

[@angelicaruth7619]

Thanks to Rupert’s fam for the wonderful experience!! Take care, Josh and Connor! :)

[@kennithgilestiongco5032]

You're a fast learner Josh...why you find it easy to adapt....Enjoy the nature the beautiful Philippines ❤ we still have such more to offer...Thank you for being respectful and hope you enjoy some few great cultures

[@TheJourneyofJosh]

I try my best! It may seem like I'm doing it easily but It's very hard to remember everything haha. More nature to come soon!

[@naktete]

who am i ? i’m a filipino ❤ this is authentic filipino culture, happy people (remove politics) hope you can experience fiesta in the province, wherein almost every house invites you to eat 💯 👌 and the traditional games 😍

[@dcmdetects]

Awesome video! My wife is from Rosales (Pangasinan Province-about 2 hours North of where you are), and getting away from the bigger cities in the Philippines is truly an amazing experience. You are a true ambassador for your country. I learned the first time I visited the province how amazing and kind the people are. Immersing yourself, showing humility, and being respectful goes a long way. I truly love the experience away from the cities. Not sure how much traveling you are going to do but if you like the mountains Baguio is a pretty cool place to go. it would be about 3 1/2 hours north of you. Myself, my wife, and her family went there this year when I visited in March.

[@EdwinLopez-gp3dj]

Advance gongrats on being so, so close to 10k subs. Filipinos obviously love you. ❤️

[@TheJourneyofJosh]

Thank you so much Edwin! I still can't believe it to be honest. The love goes both ways ❤️

[@ManduRugas-oe4kv]

THE SHORT END OF IT IS, WE ARE NOT SNOBS, RESPECT IS A VERY BIG THING FOR US AND YOU CAN NEVER GO WRONG WITH A SMILE😊

[@rgnald]

Your content in bulacan (luzon) is so good hoping you explore more city or province in Luzon. Also jeff (the guy who is guiding you) is also good to have, Since you will not be able to show this kind of filipino experience without living inside filipino houses the correct way of showing filipino culture as mentioned previously by someone. You two are very awesome. Waiting for more adventure in the Philippines

[@CaneZyle]

Mommy nette is right, do take care always because not everyone are nice.

[@TheJourneyofJosh]

Yep! There are good and bad people everywhere, just have to be smart 😊

[@gawainedelosreyes8937]

Such immersion to the culture..kudos! Gabi is taro.😊

[@ericmahinay3065]

"Tol" is derived from the term "Utol," which is an urban or colloquial street slang in Tagalog. "Gabi" translates to Taro in English, and pronouncing "Gabi'" with emphasis denotes the evening. The way you danced the Cha Cha dance with the locals made you resemble a mobile caricature, so funny! But to say the least, you really had a blast. Just keep on traveling around my country, there's so much more to see.

[@Lance.Valle1]

This is why I love this channel!!!!

[@merryjoy5188]

Josh your a fast learner . You know lots of filipino words. How great you've meet a friend and treat you as a family. they are so kind giving you delicious meal. Like you two josh your so kind too.. God Bless You guy's .. nice video content 😍❤️❤️

[@TheJourneyofJosh]

I know a little! My memory for language is not great though unfortunately 😅 Yes we are so blessed to have met Rupert and his family. God bless! 💖💖

[@MarvinMaximo]

Actually, that mound on the horizon is Mount Arayat, a dormant volcano, located in the adjoining province of Pampanga (to the north of the province of Bulacan). It is NOT Mayon Volcano (as your host told you). Mayon Volcano is located in the province of Albay in the Bicol Region which is way way waaay south of Bulacan and Metro Manila. FYI.

[@TheJourneyofJosh]

Thanks for the information! I think Rupert corrected himself but I didn't get it on camera 😅

[@TheresaEstrella-iy6vh]

he got confused because the camera , id be the same way, camera makes me nervous and conscious.

[@dreamer9267]

This is a really nice vlog and experience in Philippines.. authentic joy

[@ronnienestor]

Heartwarming…. Thanks Josh for your visit to the Philippines. We appreciate it.

[@jayarocampo7527]

im about to migrate to england in a months time this is beautiful ! a gentle reminder that my fellow countrymen are one of the best or maybe the best in world. thank you for reminding me how beautiful my Country is, geography and people !

[@SoloDad905]

When I was in Philippines, everywhere i went, everyone was so welcoming, friendly, and loved to have fun. I've been to many different countries, but I've never felt so welcome and at home as I was in the Philippines. It is a truly amazing place, and I now have great freinds there.

[@lovelyantoinettedorde8410]

Nice to see guys are enjoying your stay and at the same time Vlogging in the Philippines 🇵🇭

[@auroraamerica3678]

Amazing Josh…you experienced the typical Filipino breakfast in the village. You got something to tell your friends in UK what’s it’s. look like to live in the village. ( Gabe or gabi is taro.). Have a great day everyone.

[@ronnienestor]

At 19:18, I didn’t expect the dancing! So refreshing to see these tourists dancing to local chacha. Hehe

[@killin_n_jillin]

I really like you guys. Out of the maaaaany vloggers visiting the Philippines, you guys are the most respectful of the culture. I think the most open to it too. It's very heartwarming to hear you guys always keep trying to speak what Tagalog you can speak. Even trying to learn Visayan in your Cebu vid. Even using the honorifics for the elderly and doing "mano po". Keep doing what you're doing and how you're doing it and you'll earn sooooo much love here in the Philippines. We'll all be your family haha. I wish you guys all the best and safety in all your travels and success in your endeavors. God bless!

[@macemacemace]

OMG! Mayon Volcano!! That's in Bicol! Where you can eat the Bicol Express!

[@callasurfvlog2221]

You know josh that's the hardest part to say goodbye to the people that meet I was crying but I watch all video with that family I see you are enjoy it with Conan

‘Tol is just an informal way of calling a brother. It is from the word “Kaputol”, meaning “From the same cut”.
