Filipino's are not shy they mostly stare at you with curiosity if your a foreign and about making friends in the Philippines it all depends on your attitude alone for people to react and interact with you.

[@loidadelacruz15]

This guy making more friends because he has a positive aura it's my first time I heard and see him but it seems like he is jolly person also and looks so friendly that's why it's easy to make friends

[@breiso7810]

That German guy lives in BGC (Bonifacio Global City), a place which is good for hanging out with friends bcoz of it's restaurants, shopping malls, cafes and night-life bars. It has high-rise buildings. When one is inside BGC, one feels affluent sometimes.

[@JanVergelYOLO]

Well, I think he likes the warm weather in the Philippines for the very reason that he's from Europe. In here, it rains almost everyday. Also, in the Philippines, all establishments are airconditioned, and the City where he's living is BGC, it's a popular and high-end district in Manila. Way comfortable 😂

[@MegaNix86]

When you come to the Philippines as a couple, you'll be less approached compared coming here on your own...

[@ejconvocar3734]

It’s harder for us Filipinos to approach a girl foreigner coz most of us are just shy or don’t know how to start a conversation.

[@WallNutBreaker524]

6:53 that mostly depends, but I'mma bet depending on how you approach a Filipino from a foreign perspective, which Filipino you approached( if it's a grumpy Filipino, don't be too close, they're angered and universally, all angry people shouldnt be bothered with) if it's a positive, friendly, happy Filipino, making friends/companion be it permanent or temporary is easy. The thing you have to Understand when it comes to filipinos, is we are positive, we have to be easy go lucky bcuz that's our culture( AND MOST IMPORTANT, we are very very very social people, we like being with other people), and especially if you're a foreigner. You'll fit right in.

[@kennethmahilum2019]

I think what the lady who married a filipino guy means is that it's hard to make intimate friends. It is true in some cases. We filipinos tend to pick and choose friends depending on the attitude beliefs and principles in life because we tend to choose friends who we can be intimate and discuss serious and personal things and be able to make conversations longer whereas with that german guy i think he means to say it's easy to make casual friends because we filipinos are so hospitable and easy to approach.

[@fortunatoangeles4589]

You are correct summer here is sticky that’s why we take our shower 2 times a day during summer.I lived in canada for 7years , based in my experienced and observations, life there is boring in the whole year is like a rat race you must work and work and you will realized at the end you are like a prisoner at your own house because of weather and even in summer you cannot enjoy your life because of lack of recreational facilities and activities and the worsed you live in order to work not you work in order to live, that’s why after getting my dual citizenship i finally decided to return in the philippines permanently and i have no plan to return in canada.

BGC is Bonifacio Global City located in Taguig City, Metro Manila.

[@raquelfloeter1211]

You’re right ,Ovela , the weather in the Philippines is very hot and humid, I rather have the cold and you can dressed up for it. But when it’s too hot and humid you are very uncomfortable. The only thing I don’t like about winter is the snow on the roads and also icy roads, but other than that it’s beautiful to see ( the snow). I prepared cooler weather, but summer in Michigan it’s so beautiful, I can have the Michigan summers all year rounds❤.

I think you need to check out Bgc first for you to fully understand what the vlogger is saying. The vlogger is staying in a masterplanned community where everything he needs and want to live comfortably.

[@kirojiro23]

It's not that we're shy. We're just easily intimidated by someone who's a native English speaker. But approach us first, we'll gladly help you with anything. So, to make friends, always ask locals. They're very friendly. It's not we coz I'm too much of an introvert 👀 If you don't like getting sticky feeling on hot weather, don't come to Philippines. Easy as that. Coz you'll literally get wet with your own sweat here I'm telling you. Especially someone who's from a cold country.

[@superdadafrancis5558]

ovela the Philippines is hot but not sticky feeling you can just go to a shadow building or under the tree you will feel the fresh air.the humidity in the Phil is not like the other hot country.

[@minayore3447]

I agree with the other comments,it's just hot and humid in here, and one more thing other place/province have different weather,,,some places are hotter than Manila and some are colder

[@gigianderson6849]

Im filipino and im from montreal, the cities of the philippines is much modern than the city here but they dont have here homeless and shanty towns where philippines still has it unfortunately. Theres more also luxury brands and luxury car in manila than here in montreal. The safety in montreal is excellent and the philippines lags behind it. The very reason why filipino leaves the country is because of the salary differences among professions.

[@kingofficial4454]

Actually Ovela the weather is very unpredictable, sometimes it's very rainy within a week and sometimes it's very Sunny. In the Philippines, ber months are the coldest season here.

[@jonathanmendoza4254]

BGC is Bonifacio Global City a now part of Taguig City, a modern City. But originally BGC and in land area , it's part of Makati City.

[@WallNutBreaker524]

11:54 it seems more chaotic, but it actually works quite well bcuz people actually use their brains full power and not just rely alot on what the government traffic laws and systems tell them, they're kinda like ants in developing countries like the Philippines without much traffic and road rules in my opinion from Filipino provincial town near a city.

[@pauljade3345]

@6:36 ..this is what we learned from those tourists who came ahead, way back. 80's 90's where they had some bad experiences with the PH.....yes we admit,, it had happened to them b4, and even us local tourists, eh......but look at what Tondo Manila is becoming now.. this used to be the most feared place in Metro Manila.. and what about, Maguindanao, Sulu, Cotabato , Negros Islands, Davao Region.. would be glad if you get out ..go to the the islands..

Hes been there since pandemic 2020 together with short king vlogs. It easy to make freinds in BGC coz most of the people around can speak good english coz there were educated Filipinos and not afraid to talk with foriegners BGC where u can find the BPO offices. Unlike with the foreign girl you reacted first shes residing in Quezon city thats a very local city kindda province. BGC is all just a walking distance, like dentist, spa, gym etc. BGC is a small district within Taguig City part of metro Manila. BGC stands for Bonifacio Global City.

[@jsumabat2942]

Foreigners that visit and decide to live here find it very cheap but for us Filipinos most workers are not paid enough everything for us in our own country is expensive. there is a higher percentage of people from other countries that are able to go around the Philippines and discover beautiful places compare to us Filipinos who live here.

[@youtubephan2427]

the transportation part , the cost to takr taxi ot grab is much cheaper tham us when considering a hot day to be wawlking around , i dont understand whewn people complain oe try to negotisate down, i wish pwoplewwouldnt be so angry aboau a rate of e3030 psos basically its average cost for me to take grab or taxi is 5 dollars thats cheap for avoiding sunny dayyes i do plan on retiring there.

[@anniesoucek8216]

You can't hibernate in the Philippines. You have to go outside because everyone are out there. You'll never be alone in the Philippines unless you want to be alone. If you want to walk, there are people walking in anytime of the day 24/7. There are public transportation if you want a ride. There are all kinds of people. Black, white and brown. All kinds of foreigners. One important thing that I miss in the Philippines is the attitude of the people. It's way too different than US. They communicate and very open internally. You'll see what you get in them. I love my people. Although we are poor but life in the Philippines is fun.

[@nordryan8164]

Well, tastes are subjective. On the otherhand, I think the girl that you reacted before is more of an introvert than this guy. Seeing other foreigners' reaction of their experiences is nice and helpful. But each has their own different experiences which sometimes depends on the things that you are most interested into doing and exploring. Also, the other 2 guys (trifate lifestyle) from the past videos you reacted are pretty young. And they prefer to explore the place on their own to have genuine experience. One of them has been pickpocketed, and they tried to retrieve it, but with has no luck finding it. Enjoy and stay safe when you finally have your stay in the Philippines.

you know why that girl finds it hard to make friends? I'm just gonna guess here...she's very pretty and usually Filipinos are very shy and intimidated to approach a girl like that especially because she's also a foreigner. they probably think she's nice and all but because they're intimidated, they tend to shy away from her. also, she mentioned she's cautious because some, especially men, tend to be sexual in their approach. and she's probably being protected by her husband because of that.
