*Pinakanapansin ko nung nakatira ako sa Korea* ay yung Korean media They only highlight negative things about the Ph like those poor people living in the slums, those obsessed kpop fans, "Kopino case"(reason why some Koreans think us filipinas are "easy to get") and crimes. while yung media natin shows Kpop, Kdramas, korean fashion and kbeauty products tho there were sometimes news about korean drug dealers/smugglers but yeah mostly good thing. so yeah MEDIA really plays a HUGE role here

I went to Daegu in 2016 and I found the place clean, quiet, and interesting. However, there was one time I was waiting in the bus station and a Korean male approached me trying to befriend me, but some tourist cautioned me not to talk to him because there are swindlers roaming around the place and I might be victimized. So you see, every country has its own issue, dirt, controversy... Koreans think they are privileged because of their popularity out of Kpop... they make fun of us because of our English accent but they come to the Philippines to be taught the language. We may have that accent but our English is as clear as crystal water.

I remember during my internship in Korea in 2017 and I had to promote PH tourism to the Korean market at a travel fair. There were a LOOOOT of questions about safety and security in PH and the Koreans mentioned that they're really scared. That was the time when there were a looot of happenings in the Philippines (the case of Jee Ick Joo, the shooting in Resorts World, the Martial Law in Mindanao, the case of the 3 Koreans who were killed). Tbh, I really didn't know how to respond to them especially when an old man went to our booth and kept telling people not to travel to the Philippines coz we kill Koreans and that PH is definitely not safe. It was a real challenge

is mean the ecomony in Philippines is falling adn 18 million people are accounted for extreme poverty like living with 1.25 dollars a day. It is still a developing country and GDP per capita is low ad infant mortality rate is very high. Also Phillippines got hella terror attacks, if you ask me which is more dangerous where litterially the whole far south is a no-go zone according to travel guides. sulu archipelago and the zamboanga peninsula are all considered extremely dangerous. since there is more poverty, more petty crimes. HOwever, I respect Phillippines i think its fine, and I respect them for fighting with us and the us on the korean war. IDk why some people in korea attack Phillippines and I have multiple phillipino friends here in Canada. I respect Phillippios and they are typically friendly people. Please just ignore the ignorant ones that talk trash cus we love you over here.

@@johnsupremecuber705 The Philippines is primarily considered a newly industrialized country, which has an economy in transition from one based on agriculture to one based more on services and manufacturing. As of 2021, GDP by purchasing power parity was estimated to be at $1.47 trillion, the 18th in the world.[31] Primary exports include semiconductors and electronic products, transport equipment, garments, copper products, petroleum products, coconut oil, and fruits. Major trading partners include Japan, China, the United States, Singapore, South Korea, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, Germany, Taiwan, and Thailand. The Philippines has been named as one of the Tiger Cub Economies together with Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Thailand. It is currently one of Asia's fastest growing economies. However, major problems remain, mainly having to do with alleviating the wide income and growth disparities between the country's different regions and socioeconomic classes, reducing corruption, and investing in the infrastructure necessary to ensure future growth.

I lived in Angeles City for most of the 80's, I was in the Air Force at Clark. We, (3TFW), went to Korea several times, seems like it was always in the winter too ! During my days at Clark there were several coup attempts, and the NPA was attacking, and threatening all Americans in the PI. My parents were very concerned because of the typical "end of the world" reporting they heard in American news reports. I lived off base but felt safe and secure during all of the bad acting/bad reporting that was going on. I always enjoyed my time in South Korea too, even though we faced a FAR larger threat there. Those years were the best of my life, I have not been back since 1990 , but long desperately for the friendly happy times I enjoyed there. It always broke my heart to leave the Philippines so I just stay here and adapt. THANKS for your video, it took me back to a happier time and place.

I once had an audio call with a Korean through HelloTalk. They were also concerned about safety especially in Manila. I said it depends on where in the metro you live, and they should probably stay in safe places if they wish to visit the city. It’s interesting to observe that just because of several incidents in the news, we quickly jump to conclusions that a place is dangerous to live on. Just because there’s a plane crash somewhere in the world doesn’t make airplanes dangerous.

Your point is right Jessica that people should only be aware & conscious on the present situation of both countries whether it is good or bad coz a single or twice gruesome events didnt represented the country as whole whether it is worst or not in its safety & security, probably it's just remote incidents (how remote it is maybe 1 in a million incidents) I think the most important is just be extra careful & vigilant in whereever countries you go...

Great content. First of all, big hugs to you! It's true, there is still so much to hate in the Philippines, as corruption is rooted to the core and it will take a while to fix that. But there is also much to love. As 2nd, 3rd etc generation immigrant Filipinos all over the world also develop 'fear' of going back 'home', it is basically because such picture painted into the minds of other countries is what they see. So it is not only Koreans who are afraid. It is generally that if the comforts of one person is threatened, then that creates the reason. My children growing up in this western part certainly have views based on what they hear or read, but bringing them home for visits open their minds and open a wider view that there are more to love than hate (and my youngest even wants to live there). Hate is a choice I keep saying, because there is always a choice to not like it but looking for something to like. 😘

Just a tip for the people wanna try going to the Philippines when its night always go to a plays were there is a lot of people if you see drunk people's or suspicious people that acts weird make sure to quickly go to public were there are a lot of people always have a friend or someone to come with you whenever you go cases like this are mostly happened in manila dount trust anyone when your going home because they will do anything to make you come with them thats all i know pls be careful i dount hate my own country because of that i only hate the people who disobey the government and do crime thank you for explaining ate Jessica ❤️ its my first time to know this lol

My uncle went and lived on America back in 2014, in 2019, he felt homesick, depressed, had a toxic ex husband then went here in the Philippines in 2020 where he finally felt inner peace since the only ones with him back in America is his Toxic ex husband and his dog whom was also took by his ex toxic husband.

Hi Jessica! I'd just like to say that I really like your videos esp since you always try to make a good connection between the Filipino and Korean cultures (as I am a Filipino myself) so I'd really like it if you could possibly also make a video about Why *Foreigners* MIGHT be Afraid of Korea especially since there are a LOT of s3xual harrassment/assault cases that have been reported (and even underreported) in the country, esp for foreign women there. I really hope you can share your insight to this because I'd love to hear it!! (because when i knew of this, i was legit scared and now i dont want to go to Korea anymore even if it was one of my dream destinations to go to ☹) i know all countries have their dark sides but i never heard so much testimonies and personal experiences being shared about how they were s3xually harassed in SK :((

Don’t be scared, not all Filipinos are like that and there’s still a safe place here in our country so don’t be scared you can still see many good sides of the Philippines when you come here 😊 If you want to be friends with me, it’s fine and I can tour you in our country if you like :) Translate: (실수가 있으면 죄송합니다) 겁내지 마세요. 모든 필리핀 사람들이 그런 건 아니고 우리나라에는 아직 안전한 곳이 있으니 여기에 올 때도 필리핀의 좋은면을 많이 볼 수 있으니 걱정하지 마세요 😊 나와 친구가되고 싶다면 괜찮아요. 원하시면 우리나라를 투어 해드릴 수 있어요 :)

it’s not a made up stereotype. there are numerous cases in which Koreans dealt with fraud and thiefs. So many koreans suffered when they got kidnapped and brutally murdered. it’s real. it happened in real life.

As a human, I do believe that every country has its own pros and cons. We can't really find a country that is 'perfect' in any way. The Philippines has its own bad issues and characteristics but there is always goodness if you look in the other side. As a Filipino, I don't really feel safe in my own country but I do not base my judgment by a mere feeling. I still have doubts but feel assured at the same time. And like what Ate Jessica said, it's a case by case basis. And I think people are just being cautious. It is good to be careful but also be sure that you know facts and don't base your judgment by just your feelings or other people's opinion.

I mean... when people tells us about that certain place or things that it's quite dangerous there or something...some of us were just like... "Oh, really? well that's intriguing."
