[@rmetal1105]

I think one of the reasons why Filipinos are very friendly and family oriented is because there are just too many of us in one small country. We're always surrounded by people so we can't help but be nice to each other 😂. Anyway, the Pan-Philippine Hi-way is not just one long stretch of road. You would still need to ride ferries to reach some islands. I don't think it's very safe to tour the country on a bike as there are still some lawless elements around. Also, many far-flung places do not have many gas stations and repair shops. And yeah, do explore Manila. Many people consider it dirty and unsafe but Manila has a lot to offer in terms of history. Just take care of your belongings, be aware of your surroundings, and remain friendly. It's where you can really feel the pulse of the Philippines.

[@DANDJREACT]

Will do!

[@user-lh8cw3ip7m]

Guys, unless you are planning to stay in the PH for less than a month, I would not recommend riding a bike on the whole country, because you won't find the right parts for your bike if you break down on the roads. If you do plan on staying in the PH for over a month, I suggest you get a hold of KULAS ( Becoming Pilipino ) and get valuable advice from him before you plan to trek the country. Why Kulas? its because he has done it. He managed to trek & vlog ALL 81 provinces ( 17 regions ) of the PH via scooter, but it did take him a few years to accomplish this feat. Although it is quite easy to renew your VISA to stay longer in the PH, I recommend that you converse with experienced You Tubers like Kulas, and always set itineraries way in advance.

It might be interesting to note that Filipinos are fond of "inventing" new words. For example we understand if you say ERMAT (MOTH ER) or ERPAT (FATH ER). Infact expressions are evolving from generations to generation. For example the expression "SANA ALL" meaning "WISHING IT'S FOR ALL" came about maybe from a joke we hear in a movie or a phrase we hear in a song and it gets viral through social media. It becomes a fad and everyone starts using those expressions or phrases and eventually they become integrated in our daily communication. That's how language evolved in the Philippines. We always find something to AMUSE ourselves that's why Filipinos are always smiling and happy, SANA ALL.

10:00 Typhoons, hurricanes, and cyclones are basically the same, however, storms formed in the Pacific always have the potential to be more powerful and destructive because it has more space to grow as it develops overtime before landfall. Typhoons here in the Philippines have Local Names, assigned alphabetically. A typhoon name is "retired" if that typhoon costs Php1Billion of damages and/or claimed 300 lives.

few clarifications 😊 we dont serve bugs or insects here, it's mostly in thailand and china. you were also wondering why people eat those, it's rich in protein that's why and they said it tasted pretty good 😅. sisig is also not restricted with pig ears, it can be made with other parts of pork and some are even made with chicken. i don't know how they do it in mexico but we don't dig up our relatives during day of the dead 😅. we do spend time with them by going to their graves and just stay for the day hanging out with the whole family. you probably know this by now but yes we do have the longest celebration for christmas, it starts during ber months ( september - december ) up until the first week of january. since Philippines is predominantly catholic, celebrating the birth of Jesus is a big occasion. some countries celebrate with their partners and spend christmas quite similar with valentines, here we celebrate it with family :)

Earthquake??? Really? You cant predict earthquakes. They can warn you about aftershocks after earthquakes happen

​@@bluewolf4789 Yes it can be detected by Seismometers. Seismometers allow us to detect and measure earthquakes by converting vibrations due to seismic waves into electrical signals, which we can then display as seismograms on a computer screen. Seismologists study earthquakes and can use this data to determine where and how big a particular earthquake is.

@@gigigavino-punsalang7400 Please do your research. I'm sorry to disagree with you, as I mentioned the instrument or the method to predict earthquake is called Seismometers.

It can happen or it might not depending on the strength of the shake.

If you'd like context about our typhoons/hurricanes. The philippines has its own typhoon detection system which leads to some international typhoons having two names. For example, what the world knows as Haiyan the pinoys know as "Yolanda". Since each typhoon is named for one of the 26 letters of the alphabet, while the rest of the world was on the letter H, PH was already 17 typhoons ahead and using the letter Y.

Baba means to get/come down from a higher level thus if you say bababa ka (you) ba? This means “are you coming down?” Bababa is the future tense of the verb baba (to come down)

I know a friend as well, he also became depressed when we went back to the US. He said that most girls in the philippines and in other country in Asia are nicer than there. I gotta agree with that BUT you have to be really careful with asian women as well. I'm a Filipina but sadly, some are just after the money and just wants to get out of their life situations. Always be cautious. I think most americans compares us to women is the US because we were raised family-oriented that's why most of us are loving ans sweet to someone we know.

[@DANDJREACT]

We love that about Asian women. They are family oriented

The Pan-Philippine Highway, while extensive, is not a continuous road that physically connects all the islands in the Philippines. It consists of a network of roads and ferry connections between islands. The highway is fragmented due to the geographical nature of the Philippine archipelago, which comprises numerous islands. Travelers often need to use ferries to cross bodies of water between islands, and the highway network picks up again on the other side. Also, when it comes to storms, the most powerful storm in history, on record to make landfall is Super Typhoon Haiyan or as we call it, Yolanda in Samar, 2013, with one-minute sustained winds of 190 mph.

[@DANDJREACT]

190mph?!?!

[@elizabethmoya8700]

Filipino has a water proof spirit

[@DANDJREACT]

I see that

[@jplayzgamez9714]

We dont dig UP the graves we just visit the graves and stay with them for a few hours and say goodbye

[@DANDJREACT]

I see

[@SoJustMe]

They say 20 turbulent storms but to my knowledge, most of them are not really devastating. A great video. Very informative. Thank you for this reaction.

[@DANDJREACT]

Thanks for the info!

[@diopatra80]

only from northern luzon to manila takes atleast 8-10hours by motorcycle with few stops. so good luck for that road trip

[@DANDJREACT]

Ok thanks 😊

[@user-kh1pe3to4g]

America is the one who gives Pilipinos a "democracy", and "Education" while Chinese and spanish people land grabbed the huge area of land in metropolitan manila (1594 to 19th century) these the reasons, Chinese and spanish become the wealthiest family in entire Philippine archipelago

[@DANDJREACT]

Makes sense

[@ajLagerfeld]

You can check out Jaime Dempsey's "Ride N Seek" She travelled the entire Philippines for abtravel show

The 7 volcanoes in Camiguin island are dormant and if I'm not mistaken the last eruption occured in the 50's or 60's.

[@DANDJREACT]

Thanks 😊

[@purplebutterfly7268]

Been to the three volcanoes, Taal volcano, Mt. Pinatubo and Mayon Volcano. Each destination offers different adventures so, it’s always a good addition to your bucket list. Also, Sagada is a gorgeous place where you can also do spelunking. If you plan to go to Palawan, make sure to go to Coron where you can also dip into a saltwater hot spring in addition to other activities you can do. There are many more but I’ll leave it at that. Have fun, guys. PS We do not eat cockroaches nor scorpions…😨 And if there are some people eating insects, it’s not a very common thing. I’ve heard a place that sells deep-fried crickets or a kind of worm, a place where they eat a sort of coconut wood worm…but those are exotic foods.

[@DANDJREACT]

Good to know thanks 😊

[@partyeslife8157]

4:53 lol in manila 3 km can take 3 hours if you're unlucky and decided to travel during rush hour😛 and remember some of those streets aren't going to be like the regular streets we see over here where you travel at 70mph. lots of scenic routes so make sure you account for all that distance etc 19:02 - languages are developed when a particular region's language evolves into a different variety turning into dialects. when the dialect continues to evolve, it becomes so differnt that they no longer could mutually understand each other. this is when a language turns into a language. So for example - latin would be like the mother tongue and you could say that spanish and italian were evolved into their own dialect and at which it turned into a language as they can't understand each other any longer. With the languages in the Philippines, they're mostly Austronesian, so whatever was that mother tongue, it evolved to the languages we have today. If you analyze the way Filipino and Malay is spoken with the structure etc, it's very similar, but not quite. Regarding the Valley girl way of speaking, those are accents which in someway also related to dialect, but i would relate dialect to something like Australian english and US english as dialects.

[@DANDJREACT]

That’s insane

[@dindosario5332]

Thank u guys for reacting this Geography now (Phipippines)❤

[@DANDJREACT]

Our pleasure

[@j.c.a.1101]

The Philippines street food does not include scorpions, bugs, rats, or any thing like those. Those are common in Thailand, Viet nam, Cambodia or Laos. Cheers.

[@DANDJREACT]

Ok good lol

[@theatchipepper9160]

Some place in the ph actually eat crickets, specifically central luzon but it is an exotic food so you will not find it easily. I am from pampanga and i enjoy adobong kamaro(crickets) and batute(deep fried stuffed frog) once in a while.

[@DANDJREACT]

Ew lol

[@theatchipepper9160]

@@DANDJREACT 😆😆😆😆😆😙

[@diopatra80]

we have also some in cagayan northern luzon. arrarawan (a cricket from the fields), abal-abal ( a kind of bug from trees). frogs, eels.

[@jeanlevier7212]

Watching from Qld Australia

[@geloveSBKEN]

We don't eat bugs 😆 and we don't dig our dead relatives (I think that's in Mexico). We just celebrate their life and grieve and pray for them. Also, the Balut - It's fermented duck eggs. Not really for everybody if you have sensitive apetite😆. It's best to be eaten at night so you won't see the chick inside lol

[@DANDJREACT]

lol i see

[@mrrightbernandas8364]

Here remember: philippines Fresh air from trees and breeze nature is humid will not contrict airways compare to cold countries. Good for the skin, bones, and lungs for the elderly people. In western when it starts november to march. Oldpeople drop like flies because of cold and pneumonia. Its the perfect climate. The rain, sun, typhoon its a way for the philippines to refresh and heal itself. Never boring when it keeps changing. Learn to enjoy it. Healthy living...top end herbs fruits vegetables can grow anywhere in philippine soil..morringa, lemongrass, oregano, noni, guyabano, even coconut juice is healthy for the blood digestive urinary kidneys and first aid juice for uti cleanse the system. Its the literal paradise land of plenty. The position is one of the throne of the gods overlooking the whole asia and water but like a fortress away sorrounded by distance waters and slow time phase. Foreigns should just enjoy. Filipinos they are the choosen caretakers. Respect the people, the nature and the peace. Locals got foreigners back because it dictates on their bloodline tradition and ancestry. Hospitality and enjoy. No bringing of toxic traits because the country has choosen self preservation and slow cycle.

[@DANDJREACT]

I love that about your culture

[@thewickedsoulirises]
