Why I would choose Philippines 🇵🇭 over Latvia 🇱🇻

Don't understand me wrong, I love Latvia and it's people, its my home, but Philippines is like country of my soul . Every interaction with Filipinos make me smile , I'm just most alive and most happy there.

[@coffeerock589]

This is why I want to go back in my own country after I finish my goals. Just keep shining Jelena with your family stay positive don’t let their behavior affects your positive vibes and you already understood the Filipino culture. Thank you keep vlogging even if your in your own country. I always watch your channel

[@mariateresaperalta1936]

Thank you for sharing your Latvian way of life...dont be bothered by negative people as long as you're not doing any harm, consciosly guide your children to behave properly then no one should brazenly come afront and subject you illfully - love how you appreciate your Philippine experien e here in social media - so heartwarming😊

[@Dat1derfulSound]

Jelena, I'm so sure the Philippines can't wait to welcome you back!! You are soo Filipino, in thoughts and in your heart. You are feeling exactly what most Filipinos feel when they step foot in a foreign country. Maybe not so much as being treated harshly, although I'm sure there are those Filipinos who get treated as such too, but just the indifference and the lack of warmth that Filipinos are used to, back in their home country. Hang in there Jelena, I hope and pray that soon you'll be back where your heart is, permanently.

[@MsJelena]

Thank you 😊

[@nazarourot3117]

Jelena, stay away from people with negative thoughts, just keep doing good for your children , and always good vibes that's it 🇵🇭

[@julietasaludares5628]

Every country have good and bad culture or people. But as a human being everybody needs respect and love. ❤❤❤

[@modestoagbuya2159]

You should be all free like those birds. Free to do whatever you want as long as you are not hurting anyone. It's unfortunate that some people cannot be happy when others are. Blessings to all of you and have a wonderful day.😊

[@naldy888ace8]

That is the difference between Filipinos and other nationality. Once the foreigner came to our country we treat them so nicely even our own house we offer to them to stay with us, and invite them in our house once they have family gathering, But some other nationality once they see us Filipinos they treat us badly sometimes we bullied us. That is why some foreigners who visit Philippines they said that Filipinos are very smiling friendly and they warm welcome the foreigner visitors. that is some of them live in the Philippines for good. Because their not experience in their own country how to be very Important and treat them well good. That is why I'm proud to be Filipino. If I found or meet a foreigner girl to be my girlfriend or wife soon. I teach my children at their very young age the Filipino culture way how to respect the elder and be good to other people in a nice way and a big respect to anyone. 😊🥰

You have a very beautiful country and beautiful people. Its nice to see the kids having a good time. Say safe God Bless. Sending love from Cebu, Philippines.

[@pmcandalla]

You are right: Filipinos are generally sociable and hospitable ---compared to people of different countries, not just Latvia. However, you still have to be very careful --you cannot let your guards down. There are people who can and will take advantage of you ---true to any country. Be surrounded by friends of good will anywhere you are ---in Samal, in Latvia, in Germany, etc. Enjoy your homecoming.

[@piacash5216]

Hi Jelena Thanks For Showing Latvia Again …. When I Go back To Finland Next year I’ll Take The Ferry To ESTONIA And Riga Latvia Love That Place ….. Keep Safe Jelena and you CHILDRENS God Bless your Family ✌️👍👍👍👍👌✌️👌💕🇺🇸

[@erikmichael3493]

It seems big cities, or highly populated area in each country, people aren't as friendly as the rural areas. But, in the Philippines 🇵🇭, it doesn't matter what part of the country you live in, people smile and are naturally friendly 😊.

[@flipkah5691]

No that guard who saw ur boy playing in that door is only concern jelena.. coz it is his work to protect the children who play in that mall door.. it might get accident and it his responsibility.. i saw that video.. and he only want to protect ur child.. thats for sur..

[@manuelmelenciodegarriz669]

You have nice parks out there and beautiful birds as well. Emma really has a soft heart with animals. In the Philippines 🇵🇭 she loves dogs and cats. ☺️ I guess Latvians people are very strict and don't allow kids to be kids and enjoy playing with the birds. 😔😁 I miss you guys! Hope you can come back soon in the Philippines 🇵🇭. Take care! 😊🤗🥰💕

[@MsJelena]

Yeah they both soft heart my kids. They like feel pain of others..

[@manuelmelenciodegarriz669]

I think they got it from you. You are also kind and soft hearted to animals. Like your video in Samal when you saw the crabs tied upside down that are being sold, you feel like crying when you saw them still alive and felt cruelly maltreated.😔🥴

[@anthonycastro9110]

Hi Jelena! Perhaps you already have adopted to be like a filipina in many many ways. True, in the whole world Philippines is the most open and has the most freedom with resilient people, open and warm hearted race. I know you just love the Philippines n the filipinos! You are the best!

[@iam_mae2756]

that's why Philippines is the best place for us Filipinos, wherever we maybe we are always going back to our homeland, if we go home from other country while on board we feel the excitement, when we are entering the Philippine territory tears started to fall from our eyes, vice versa coz when we are about to leave from our country we feel like we can't bcoz it's really difficult to leave your loveones... i still love to hear freddie aguilar song, with the lines palapit ng palapit itong sinasakyan, sabi ng stewardess ituwid ang upuan,....and gary v song with the lines kay tagal mo mang nawala babalik ka rin, babalik at babalik krin while on board via Philippine Airlines.. and i don't know when you coming back here you will feel the same as Filipino's how it feels❤❤❤❤

[@rodpau691]

Just stay as you are. No need to please everybody as long as you're not doing anything wrong. Stay positive & smile always to treat your day right. Here in the Philippines, we are used to smiling despite the harsh condition. Simply because it feels good. Stay safe & God bless

[@MrTabo2023]

In the US around October if the weather is warm like summer it is called an "Indian Summer". It lasts for about a week or so. And then its autumn again and winter soon thereafter. Enjoy the end of summer while you can. That park is nice. In New York City people feed the birds in Central Park all the time. Nobody tells you not to do it. In the Philippines I don't see people feeding birds unless its their pets. As for being treated like trash in other countries...I don't remember a time in my life when that happened to me. I am a Filipino who lived most of my life (49 years) in the US. I have travelled to many countries all over the world. I am always curious about other people and cultures. I always greet people with a smile and humility. Most people I meet return my smile with a smile.

[@tiarakaleese2137]

It's so sad when you woke up with a happy moment, then just some people ruin your mood through a rude approach. To the people out there who want to regiment someone. Please approach nicely, so you won't hurt someone. Let us be considerate at anyone's feelings. #bekind .. I'm sure Ma'am Jelena You miss how Filipinos treat you with love and a Smile on their faces when they see you everywhere ❤❤😊😊

[@MsJelena]

Yes I miss that. But sometimes in Latvia I smile them by myself and it works to improve their mood 😄

[@lanceshield1520]

Hello Jelena WOW! your park out there was so peaceful and quiet. I guessed also your weather and seemed like birds of different shape really interactive to people. Peoples around you seemed like, loved to ponder and spend time to that really tranquil park...in the Philippines, PIlipino's do that things on some forested area found everywhere on different islands, wherein we got that cool, cold, fine and quiet weather. And yeah, marites can be found everywhere. I guessed that is life to them, please just don't get bothered by them. Just continued to raised your kids pure, kinds and loving...stay safe!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
