Two AMERICANS REACT to Geography Now! Philippines

[@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.

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.

[@TripTipsPodcast]

That’s insane

[@sportyguy9326]

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.

[@TripTipsPodcast]

[@alfelipe-g2u]

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.

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

[@ericselorio]

​@@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.

[@ericselorio]

@@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. When it's detected it doesn't mean it's gonna happen. It's an indication that there might be an earthquake to happen and that's a signal and prediction. It can happen or it might not depending on the strength of the shake.

[@missyenny1617]

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 :)

Hello D & J duo, just to clarify, the Pan-Philippine Highway (Maharlika Highway) is not that all "road" connected. Some parts are still separated and can be reached thru the roll-on/roll-off (RORO) ferry boat transport, one in the port of Matnog , Sorsogon (southern part of Luzon) to the port of Allen, Samar (Eastern Visayas) which is connected to Leyte via the San Junanico Bridge, then the 2nd ferry ride will be from the port in Tacloban Leyte (sourthern part of Eastern Visayas) going to the port in Lipata, Surigao (northern part of Mindanao). The linking bridges of the islands are still "in the works".

18:10 "ba" is an intensifier or it gives emphasis. Usually, "ba" is used to denote a question as in 'Kumain ka na ba?' which translates to 'Have you eaten?' vs 'Kumain ka na.' which is more like a statement, not a question. On the other hand, 'baba' can mean down, downstairs, chin, get down/go down, and whatnot. Learning Filipino is easier than learning Mandarin. For me. lol

[@TripTipsPodcast]

[@ZephyCluster]

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.

[@TripTipsPodcast]

So it’s very similar to Florida

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.

Hurricanes and Typhoons are basically the same, they are just called different depending on the region, Hurricanes for the atlantic and east pacific, typhoons in the west pacific, and cyclones in the indian ocean and parts of australia. Strength wise they are just both the same, typhoons can turn into super typhoons which are category 5 hurricanes, super typhoon haiyan (yolanda in local philippines) would have been a category 6 if there was one since it was at 195 mph second only to hurricane patricia which was at 215mph, but since there isn't it was listed still at cat 5.

An island in a lake in an island - this refers to Taal Volcano in BAtangas Province. The main crater is in Taal Lake , the crater also has water which surrounds vents in the crater. That is why it is described like that.

The Philippines has one of the best Meteorologists in the world and even foreign scientists come for training. We are well adapted to cyclones because we usually have 20-25 typhoons each year. We are usually in charge of naming typhoons technically lol. When a meteorologist says there would be a thunderstorm today for about an hour long, it would be exactly an hour long lol.

One the things Filipino are nice is because of simple principle. You are equals to opportunity and no one's gonna help you if you don't give a hand to others who needs a helping hands. As that principle grew. So does the mentality to keep it as traditional. That's why there's a very warm hospitalities of the nation. If we help you. You help us. It's all give and take and expecting it or not. It's good for the soul or morality to enact noblesse oblige

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.

[@TripTipsPodcast]

190mph?!?!

[@mamhyamo]

There was one year we got I think 24 to 25 typhoons. 😉 I know that does not sound comforting but it is what it is.

[@TripTipsPodcast]

Sounds similar to Florida

[@dannyluv78]

I remember, it was 2013 when they had to restart the alphabet with A again because all the letters were used from A-Z. That's the year when Yolanda (Haiyan) made landfall in Visayas. The strongest typhoon in world history to landfall.

19:49 that's not updated, the number of Filipinos with pure Chinese ancestry is almost 10 Million, and the Filipinos with distant or Partial Chinese ancestry is 30 Million. Half of the Thai, and Filipino population are of *Southern Chinese descent mostly from Fujian or Guangdong China. And Filipinos with South Asian Indian ancestry is over 3% or 3 Million, and Filipinos with Spanish ancestry is 1% or 3% 1 M to 3 M of the population, but i'm not sure about that because the Philippines is not a Setler colony so yea i think it's correct.

[@TripTipsPodcast]

Thanks for the updated stats John 🙏🇵🇭😊

[@JohnKevinlee]

Yup it's not ⅕ of the population, it's 36% to 40% same with Thailand.

[@JohnKevinlee]

Actually, the Senate of the Philippines announced that Chinese New Year will be declared as a legal holiday in the Philippines 11 years ago, because half of the country's population has Chinese blood or partialy Chinese, so the Philippines is one of the few countries in the world that celebrates Chinese new year

Haha we don't eat scorpion, crickets or cockroaches. I think that's in thailand or cambodia. We do have chicken feet, chicken head, chicken/pork intestines and balut (duck embryo). Also, we don't dig up our dead on all saints/souls day, we just visit them in the cemetery. Also, i wouldn't advise you guys to take a bike all the way to mindanao via pan phl highway.

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.

Yes, active volcanoes are being monitored. In fact, one of the active volcanoes is Taal Volcano, which is a tourist spot in the Philippines. So, no worries. We have over 100 dialects, so we have a national language called Filipino, which allows us to understand each other even if we are from different regions. Don't be surprised if Filipinos will call you Dar or Jer in the Philippines. :) Here in the USA, you say hi, hello, and how are you to your neighbor. In the Philippines, you can cook without salt, oil, onion, etc.; just ask your neighbor, and you can have it for free. We don't dig up our relatives on the Day of the Dead or All Souls Day. But we celebrate by lighting a candle, offering a prayer, or going to the cemetery with flowers and our dead's favorite foods. Some even have parties in the cemetery.

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.
