When I feel BETTER in the Philippines (than in Korea)

[@puspitabella4795]

I'm an Indonesian and what I can say is, Philippines is an amazing country. That's because its people. I went there once for exchange, it was 2 months but felt so fast because I really felt like home. The people are sooo welcoming. They don't need no level. The younger, the Elder, they respect each other equally. Oops, not just respect, they LOVE everyone and treat everyone the best they can.. i love filipino huhu

[@1dharries232]

Transportation in the PH is really good, only traffic that sucks. But, I'd rather endure the traffic jam than paying so much for transportation. In the PH you can save a lot for transpo expenses because there's jeepny, multicab, single motor, sidecar, etc. In Hong Kong & Malaysia there's only bus, taxi, grab. Everyday we go to work by grab with a minimum fare per day of 150 pesos, bus stops is far from home. So if you are really frugal you have to walk at least 1km to go to bus stops or walk farther to your job site. At least in the PH if your house & workplace is only 2km away you can use jeepny, in here you really need to take grab. MRT/LRT here in other country also get congested during rash hour, people just endure it, but Filipinos always complain about it.

[@rock5smnc]

@@1dharries232 yeah, truly makes sense. Just realized it. About the mrt/lrt, maybe the complaints are coming from how others see japan/korea's subway progress..?

[@MG-oq7go]

I'm willing to pay a little extra as long as we can fix the traffic problem though. I commute daily 3hrs to and 3hrs from work for a total of 6hrs everyday. One of the problems here is that there are no proper pick up and drop off points. I hope we can be organized like Korea, just as Mr. Bulbul said.

[@trinidadelizabethantonio1805]

In the Philippines, if you live alone and no one to talk to, you can go to a store and buy a snack or anything or maybe go to a salon then start to talk to someone and you will notice that you will be exchanging thoughts for hours already. You will not be lonely in the Philippines even if you are alone.

although i am from the US and have only been to the philippines three times so far in my 24 yrs, i agree with all the points but esp the first one! a vivid memory of mine is actually of my mom (who is filipino) and we were in a mall here in america and a lady (who is a complete stranger) comes up to my mom because she heard her accent while talking to me, and we learn she just moved here from the philippines and had no friends, and by the end of their impromptu convo in the mall they already had plans to hang out and talked as if they knew each other for years, and have been friends ever since (this was probably around 5 or 6 years ago)

[@Marydeee1021]

This is quite refreshing to see an “honest point of view” about the differences of both cultures. Due to the Philippines’ economic struggles, they are certainly an underrated country. Many Koreans in Korea are quite ignorant to the rest of the world with very little understanding of their own social issues that’s actually quite toxic. A good friend of mine who is Korean, born and raised in Korea became a nurse in the US once said that when she returns to Korea, she sadly feels more at “home” in the US. This speaks in volumes. I think that Koreans(or anyone else for that matter) are in no position to degrade other races, despite of their socioeconomic status. We’re ALL immigrants of the world.

[@ihy238]

“why should they speak in english even though they have their own language”- hitting every filipino

[@mynamestartswithj5415]

Maybe because of diversity. Our country have a lot of dialects and languages. I myself for example is not that effective and confident in Tagalog. Second, is the influence. There are parts of the country where there are heavy traces of foreign influences. Take Cordillera for example, it is heavily influenced by West American culture. Traces of Spanish influence can be also seen in the language called Chavacano. Maybe thats why.

We were colonized several times so we adapted several cultures from different countries. Globalization in terms of culture also let us adapt not just English but other cultures as well esp Korean, japanese,etc. since it's a trend in todays generation.

[@larrychunk8667]

Both India and the Philippines had the same language issues while creating their countries' constitutions - 1) many languages, 2) many people who would be angered if a native language they did not speak was made the official language, 3) a history of wealthy people and the government using English. Both India and the Philippines decided on nearly identical solutions - English would be made the language of the government until the government could find a better solution. Both India and the Philippines have not yet found better solutions and likely will keep using English as it is a very useful tool in today's interconnected world. The future of the world is everybody speaking their own native language and also speaking English as a second language.

When you're narrating the life in Korea back in the old days I can't help but think the fortunes of our country have reversed. After WW2 the Philippines became prosperous along side Japan, on the other hand Korea after WW2 was devastated by civil war, poverty, etc. - we're very much ahead of you Koreans. But by the 70s and 80s we're practically at the same level but the difference is Korea is starting to rise and the Philippines is starting to slip. By the 90s S.

To be fair, the Philippines was also devastated after WW2. Almost all the cities were destroyed, which required rebuilding everything. Manila, especially, went from being a beautiful city that was often compared to Paris with tons of historic buildings, to shanty towns and concrete box buildings overnight. We may have had a brief period of prosperity in the 60s, but we lost a lot of our culture when Japan destroyed our historical architecture. It's the reason why our cities today lack "identity", almost all the colonial-era architecture are gone. Then Marcos came, and the cronies sucked up everything good in the country, instituting a system of corruption and blind nationalism that still pervades today.

Sa kakakubra, wasak na wasak na kapaligiran natin, wala man lang pag give back sa lupang kinatatauyuan at dagat na pinagkukunan ng pagkain. Tapos maraming nag ngingitngit? Haha! So, ayun na nga. Personal opinion ko to. Hindi ko ipinipilit sa makakabasa. Wag nyo kong gerahin. 😂

Chloelen Pilapil ang alam lang ng mga tao ay magsisihan! Sisi dito sisi doon. Kung may ginawa reklamo kung wala reklamo ulit like? Ano ba talaga gusto ng isang tao? Puro reklamo wla man lang pasalamat! Basta ako natutuwa ako sa kung ano ang Pilipinas ngayon. Di yan agad2x yayaman ang Pinas hello? Sa haba ng panahon na naging inutil ang nakaupo expect niyo na agad2x magiging okay ang Pinas eh dami ngang reklamo por pabor! Bahala sila kung ano isipin nila basta kung nasa tamang daan ang Pinas why not! Pinoy is likas na reklamador! Tsk.

This is not a boring video! This is a genuine opinion of Mr Bulbul that requires a certain degree of respect and acceptance. I learned and discovered something new about my country , the Philippines that will also be added on my own list of what I am so grateful for. I love the Phils and I love Korea. That’s it!

[@estrelladml5882]

I've been in the Philippines before. The filipinos are very friendly! One of them helped me carry my bags to my hotel once since it was heavy. It was such a really kind act. I love the Philippines!

Honest opinion matters,even if i disagree with the transportation issue that he said,but i like how he reasoned out.

[@tobyap6346]

True. I hated walking from one subway station to another. Now i think maybe it would be good for our health.

I also disagree with transportation. So much traffic and prone to accidents compared to other countries. It's cheap for a reason.

I love this video. Very informational and not as subjective as other vloggers. When I went abroad to work as an ofw, that's when I realize how I love our country more( Philippines). I hope Filipinos would learn to love our country more and appreciate what we have and how we are as citizens to the world. We are so precious and you're one of those eye openers. Thank you. Much love. ❤️🇵🇭😊

'Migrating' isnt only for a few years though So...

[@benzybooapiado1962]

yeah, migrating isn't only for a few years, kaso i doesn't change the fact that living for like 5 to 10 years in another country makes someone to forget his/her native tongue and customs. lol ..

[@melmar701]

@@benzybooapiado1962 I don't think so. Migrating to another country won't change the ability of a person to speak their mother tongue. If that happens, then there's something wrong with that person's mind settings.Maybe, he felt awesome to pretend not to able to speak his own language? I don't know, but as far as my family's experience is concerned, unable to speak your own language after staying five to ten years somewhere is a complete bulls***t! My son who was born in the Philippines and migrated in France since he was four could still speak fluently both Filipino and Ilokano. Ako naman, twenty years na ako sa ibang bansa eh marunong parin naman akong magsalita ng ilokano at tagalog. Nakakapagsalita din ako ng kaunting Bisaya. So maniwala kayo sa hinde, kaartehan lang yan ng iba dyan ng medyo nagkahangin ang utak nalimutan na ang 'Mag seltep ng Bisekel! LOL!!!

Most People Belittle Filipino OFW because of that 3D but they don't even realized that many of their works have a most important role in this world. Living for so long in other countries and leaving their families to take good care of others are such a wonderful sacrifices. That's why in this era, people here in the Philippines giving a lot of respect to our OFW's in this whole wide world. They are actually a Heroes for us. They are the new Heroes of our country. No matter how 3D their works are. They are the most important in this world, facing the life that people are actually trying to avoid just to give a good life for their families in the Philippines and to serve people with other nationalities THEY ARE THE ANGEL OF THE WORLD. 1. CAREGIVER - When people can't take care of their family members when they got older , the people who raised them are actually taking care by our beloved OFW's 2. Cleaners /DH- Leaving their professions behind just to be your country's/house cleaners, so much sacrifices so stop abusing them and pls respect them. Don't hurt them anymore ! You're just paying their works not their whole life. 3. Teachers - When you're country lacks of knowledge to a foreign languages , Filipino OFWs are there to spread knowledge that you can use to improve more of your life style and your country as well. They are just examples but too many to mention, don't ever humiliate or belittle OFWs. Because without them. No one can do things like 3Ds that everyone trying to avoid and eventually it has a big impact that you will never imagine if no one is doing it for your country. This message is for all. Hope we respect others. Their fellow filipinos are so proud of our OFWs specially in this era. 🥰💕 Spread love and not hate - 🇵🇭
