What annoyed me was privileged foreigners who give us a bad rep. I was at Seda hotel a month ago when a tall American jock was being obnoxious. He was acting like he owned the place and caused a scene. Flirting with every single girl who walked by him just assuming he could pull any girl because of his nationality. Please people don’t be “that guy” in the philippines because you look bad trust me. There is a difference between confidence and disrespect

May I add that shortly after WWII my elementary school teacher, in explaining the map of US territories, told us the Phillipines will be the next state added to the US. My many Pinay friends, and the large number of nurses that have come here to live are such great people.

[@55Aarronneedham]

@@blackseed68 I went down to General Santos and the Sarangani provinces, this is where i experienced the best street food and kindest people. Davao and Samal Island took a tricycle to a very nice resort but I don’t remember the name, the entry fee is reasonable and well worth it (crispy patas was delicious). Also to Makati but didn’t enjoy it there much because I am not a city person at all, the people there were cold just like most big cities. If you go to general santos look for a food vendor selling Isaw and other fried foods, (Lando) he makes the best food i experienced in all the Philippines. The Avior Hotel in gensan is highly recommended very comfortable and amazing breakfast.

it really depends on where you meet a tourist in the philippines, cebu is a major tourist draw and foreigners come to cebu for different adventures the province offers. on the other hand if you meet a male foreigner in angeles city in pampanga province you dont need to analyze the purpose of his visit because it is a red light district and men do come to angeles city because of the night life and bar girls.

I doubt that these white losers back home came into the philippines for the culture or garbage dumped streets, these nerds came here cause they know very well that filipina women would 100% accept them even if they have alcoholic and abusive repititions. I as a student would see a white guy (40 - 50) above currently with a (18 - 20) above pinay chick.

I LOVE THE PHILIPPINES AND HERE IS WHY: I’am a German shipping agent in Mukran, Germany and since I work in shipping industry, I got in REAL touch with Philippines. Before, I just knew some people visiting Philippines for holiday. But since I come in touch with those Philippine seaman’s on the vessels, I learned to love them! Seriously. I NEVER met any Filipino, which was not nice to me. My stereotype of Philippine people is now following: Top skilled workers, unconditional loyal, extremely friendly, funny, cool and most important: Just welcoming! And, since I’am in this business I recognised that everybody in shipping Industrie loves those. I spoke for example to immigration police for a shore pass for the crew. They asked which nationality? I said Philippines. The officer told me, Phillipine seamen are always welcome. In his 20 years expierience as officer, a Philippine crew member NEVER made any problems. I always try to arrange the best for those guys! My next travel destiny will be for sure Philippines🇵🇭❤️🇩🇪

(backbite their ugly foreign husbands and their disgusting behavior). I mean, not all of them but I often see this circle like predators in the wild pretending to be domesticated.

Thank you for this video! That was very interesting with the first person Lisel you interviewed who has a relationship with an Australian. I did watch a documentary that men from rural developed countries tend to marry city girls from developing countries like the Philippines which can sometimes lead to cultural shock and misunderstandings for both. Australia from my understanding is one of the least densely populated area and was surprised to learn Australia is approximately 80% the size of the USA but has a population roughly less than the state of California. Australia surprisingly has more arable land per capita since I always think of the Outback deserts when thinking of Australia. Wow lots of girls in Cebu overall are dating foreigners. That was funny with your reaction when the girl mentioned she thinks foreigners visit the Philippines to date and get married as their main motivation. That was very smart of that girl to appreciate foreigners to support the local economy. Here in Hawaii there are mixed feelings towards tourist but when the pandemic happened they realized that tourism is important since it brings in a lot of revenue to the people of Hawaii. There was also an article about an energy crisis that the government had to look for additional energy resources since burning trash actually was a source but was not available from the lockdowns because tourist actually contribute to the trash we burn for electricity!

@@roninbushito I live in Honolulu which is part of the island of Oahu and yes I would consider myself Kamaina and have only used it for a hotel when they had to exterminate bed bugs in my house and required fuming tents overnight.

@@jon6309 I know where Honolulu is because I’m from oahu I don’t think your originally from Oahu on how you replied. Coming from a “true kamaaina” I needed to ask. Are u haole? A true kamaaina is born and bred in Hawaii. Most people from Hawaii that comment on ph channels are not kamaaina as most don’t have an interest in philippines.

I heard the Philippines has some distant connections with my country 🇲🇽 because it was also a Spanish colony. It would be interesting to visit 🤔

[@Livingabroadalex]

Yea for sure. There's lots of connections there

[@OVDesign3]

The connection between Mexico and the Philippines is the Spanish Galleon Trade which was administered by the Spaniards since the Phil and Mexico were both former colonies of Spain. Similarities between Mexico and Phil are...they both love... 1) boxing 2) beauty pageants ( especially the women of both countries they love watching beauty pageant on tv especially Miss Universe ) 3) Cockfighting ( both countries have those ) 4) Telenovelas ( but in our country it is called Teleserye ) 5) Both love White Skin ( I have some male mexican friends who are obsessed with blonde american women while flipinos prefer Mestizas ) 6) Religion and Family is important to both countries ( both are Roman Catholic ) but the only difference between Mexico and the Philippines is that the Phil. don't speak anymore because after Spain the next country to colonize to the Philippines is the US and they taught us how to speak English so most of the Phil. ended up learning English as their second language so most Filipinos now speak English.

I don’t see him as South Asian. My first thought is his ethnic origin is from the Eastern end of the Mediterranean, maybe Turkey, Cyprus, possibly Lebanon. Since I was a kid, Canada has lost the stereotype of having come over with either Wolfe or Montcalm. It’s now more like the Ununited States Of America, of which a whole lot of us Americans are now feeling like the country music song “I’ve Enjoyed As Much Of This As I Can Stand”.

I hope we get more foreigners to settle and do business in the PH. If not for the Korean-wave, there won’t be a samgyupsal food ‘culture’ in the PH. We have Spanish, American, Chinese, SEA influences but I want more hehe. I also noticed a lot of authentic Sichuan hot pots in MOA and Makati because of the recent wave of Chinese Mainlanders working in the PH. We don’t have much African, South American cuisines around. That would be worth trying!

Great job Mr. and the beautiful Filipinas. Indeed, some tourists or Westerners have cold shoulders because of their culture. I have lived in the US for 4 decades and our neighbors are friendly, but unlike Filipinos (Filipinos are far intimate). We are extremely busy with our lives, careers and much more for folks who are raising children. We also keep our lives private and we don’t visit uninvited or with no appointments. No room for “marites’s” However, many Filipinos (despite being busy) have kept the culture going and they get together often. God rescue the economic climate of the Philippines and the USA. Jerome Powell has increased the interest rate again. More layoffs, more unemployment and more citizens will struggle. Homelessness will (even) skyrocket. 😢

Filapina Pea says that a foreigner trying to do business in the country is likely to have problems. They start with permits, locals deciding to open a similar business next door and stealing your clients. Also, there are new laws coming that require the training of employees that may be a problem to you. So my friend, please do your research to avoid disappointment
