Philippines is awesome, MABUHAY! greetings from Indonesia,.
Thanks Asian Neighbor! God bless.

Yes philippines is awesome but not the people

Salamat means thank you
Chocolate Hills is real! I am from the island provice where it is found. It's called chocolate hills because it turns brown during the summer and its green during the rainy season. And about the volcanoes, we had a recent one for Taal Volcano.
The place is real but the photo is obviously edited.
@@GriseWeisshark not really it's just rendered
No there is a right time to see it, to make it look like that you should take a peek during sunset or after a rain, therefore the chocolate color of it will show
Can we call it chocolate hills on dry season and macha hills on rainy season then??? 😂😂😂
The Philippine constitution is based on the US constitution. It is a presidential republic and has three branches of government like the US.
Not these days it doesn’t!
@@schneider9615 So do you have any ideas what is it these days? Maybe you'll educate people with what you know! Thank you!
@@schneider9615 boooh!
Señor Swordfish is correct and this is because of US colonization. It is a Democratic country. Like most countries and yes even the US, there’s corruption.
and failed the country..
Try to watch these documentaries, An Open Door: Jewish Rescue in the Philippines and Battle of Yultong. You will see the Filipino bravery and generosity helping other nations under persecution and war. We may not be rich in material aspects, but we are rich in our hearts.
True!!!
When i first watch this i used to be a fan, now im air condition.
Lol
HAHAAHAHA
I love that. hahaha
I remember when i get a lot of people says your "mexicans" and im like ohh.. hahaha😂😂 sorry maam my last name is spanish but im asian. 😅 and even we are the longest colonized by spain rather than mexico 🇲🇽 im part of asian😅❤️❤️ love this reaction.
Funny thing is we were actually directly ruled by New Spain, which is present-day Mexico. The Spanish Empire was too vast that they had _Viceroyalties_ to govern their colonies better. So technically, we were administered by "Mexico" 😅
We filipinos are built different. Even numbers of typhoons hit us annually, we are still smiling that's because we're filipino. Now you know.

@@rencemacalalad3226 Good example👍
U can say that to pH eagle :)
The Spratly Island was rich in fossil fuel. And also rich in marine wildlife including big Clam Shell, turtles and so on.
to add China want as well to control the trade route in West Philippine Sea and whole south China Sea
That's why china is invading it
Trillions of dollars of China’s economy passes through a route called the Malacca Strait. The US and some members of the Allied Nations are doing military drills on to carry out a blockade at said route. So if you are China you might need a defensive plan or even offensive if needs be. Ph is considered an ally of the US and has military bases in said country. The Philippine trench is the most strategic position to attack China’s Eastern coast which in seconds can wipe out entire China Economy(using Ohio Submarines armed with nuclear weapons ofcourse). That trench is exactly in those contested waters. Experts in geo politics even say that China will undoubtedly go to war for this, Nuclear or whatever. If you are China and a couple of not so weak nations gathering and practicing to forcibly collapse your entire economy, will you go down without a fight for your people? If you are Ph, will you let an ally use your country to launch a nuclear missile which China will not miss to retaliate or even attack first that could be made like Hiroshima and Nagasaki? We all hope that it’s just a matter of which owns what instead of this big fuss about controlling the world! But we all know it is not as simple as that! In this equation only the Ph is wo capacity to defend itself thus wanting not to be used by anyone.
BTW, Vietnam also claims a lot of the islands.
Just sad philippines got a weak and lame president. Can't fight for the Filipinos. 💔

The Gem of the Philippines is thier people..
They're very humble and hospitable. Try to watch 8 days Philippines by Nas Daily 1 and 2.

I actually didn't know what your definition of crazy 😂 I'm a Filipina and dating 2 Filipina especially you've met them in US, doesn't justify us at all. In any nationality there are some crazy people. Unfortunately, as you've said you've met them. Lol but anyways, there are more you need to know than what this two people have researched. Philippines is a democratic country eversince. Except when the Martial Law was declared in the 70s. Our country is not perfect just like others, but I must say I'd rather live in our country than america. 🤘
💖💖💖 True!!
🇵🇭👍
9:42 "what makes those islands important"
oil. OIL. also, if china manages to control it, they can blockade trade.
Filipino people are the friendliest and happiest on planet earth.Fun fact
If you’re Filipino, your comment doesn’t count.
Bitter spotted
sorry not anymore maybe some still but mostly are not anymore bcz there are so many toxic filipino right now actually even before and it gets worse day by day im not generalizing all the filipino bcz im filipino too but thats my opinion and what i observed nowadays.
Not when you are gaming lol
@@schneider9615 haha, true, binubuhat sariling bangko! You do not need to tell others what your reputation is, it's for them to observe first hand and kung nagustuhan nila eh di kakalat na parang apoy yung positive comments
Guys m so proud of you take time knwing my motherland after covid come and visit us have a grand vacation in any of our islands good reaction and god blass - here in Philippines
The Philippines 🇵🇭 is the richest country in the future 😉 proud PILIPINO 🇵🇭 here and proud MUSLIM also ☪️
well sadly that's not the case it's a complicated matter
Wag po maging delusional
Maybe pag di na corrupt ang gobyerno
proud na agad kayo pag may nag review lang na foreigners about sa ph HAHAHAHA
Well, let us not put it in the end, it is not impossible though. But in our case, some of the politicians were only active whenever the election is approaching or is on going. After that, you can not rely on them.
11:09 Haha XD Actually, those are not photoshopped- I know this because I'm a Filipina and I'm living in the Philippines. The Chocolate Hills appear brown but when it starts to rain, it becomes the color green
Yeah it's not photo shoot 😅
It is the background that looks photoshopped. The foreground looks sunny but the background is almost nighttime.
We went through so much but it only made us even stronger and resilient...thank you for the video guys
Did it though? I feel like our economy is lagging compared to our neighbours :((
@@alistairt7544
Present time...oh yes!
The main reason is South China Sea have one of busiest maritime route, and the geologist research discovered at the dispute islands area have rich petroleum reserves, so China claiming that is their territory. Even international court had ruled China territory claim at South China Sea is not valid, but China do not recognize the international court decision.
China warns the Philippines not to dig oil daym. I'm here waiting to be rich come on China.

There's no tunnels on the national highway connecting Luzon and Samar, and Leyte and Mindanao kek (They have to be ferried)
Lol.the philippine pan hiway.
How come? Im lost i didnt know that either? 😂
There's a few tunnels. Specially in the Mountainous North of Luzon
There is Pan Highway connected Luzon,Visayas and Mindanao but it takes how many days to travel.
Yeah, that's correct but to say that there're tunnels connecting segments along major islands is ridiculous.
ONE WORD: DIVERSITY 🇵🇭
Filipino's be like even how tight the situation we can just laugh it out ahhahahah taena ahhaha
the main that you can get from the island claims are resources (fish, aquatic resources, fossil fuels like oil and others), also its a shipping lane.. you can tax those if you are the owner of the islands if ships will pass within your territory
Excellent expansive geographical and other updated essentials, including history, its population, industries, economy, culture, language, food, and updated data about the Philippines.

Guys, on the islands thing; Basically, in the Spratleys, Mainland China was the only claimant who did not have an island/s in the area, so they built 5 of them. Most of the islands are actually garrisoned by either the Vietnamese or the Philippines, with one claimed by Brunei and several more by Malaysia. So, why is the area important. TRADE. Over 40% of the world's trade passes thru the South China Sea. Who controls those trade lanes could control international trade. They could, for example, stop oil bound for Japan or South Korea.
on Volcanoes, The biggest explosion in recorded history was the explosion of Mt. Pinatubo in Central Luzon in 1990. It covered much of Luzon in ash, shut down what was then the largest US Air Force Base outside of the US, Clark AF Base, and caused world wide temperatures to drop by 1 Degree Celsius for over a year. Recently, Mt. Taal blew its top and covered a few provinces in ash a few months before the COVID lockdowns. This explosion was a reason why it was so hard to find masks in the Philippines when COVID happened.

Filipino spotted LOL your face, name, and videos, obviously.
Philippines is a truly magical country.The Paradise,absolutely breathtaking
I'm a retired U.S. military Texan!, living full time in the Philippines. Been here for many years. The majority of Filipinos and Americans are close, and get along very well together. The Philippines KNOWS we have their back, and count on us for that. Same for S. Korea. I am the ONLY American living in my area for about 40 miles. I have ZERO problems. My wife is a beautiful Filipina, and we've been together for 16 yrs now. We have one son. He's a teenager, and almost as tall as me already (I'm 6'3", 210lbs) I have a very good life here. I do miss some "conveniences" in the States, BUT I get fresh fruit (all around me, and in my yard!), fresh fish, fresh pork, etc...delivered to my house daily. So I eat healthy. We have drinks and sing karaoke on a normal basis, for birthdays, parties, holidays, etc...Not a bad life! And not a rat race like in the States.
The issue between the territorial seas has been going on for a very long time the reason why the country who has a part on the territorial seas fight for it, it's because that part of territorial seas has a lot of rich natural resources which can bring a lot of benefits for globalization just like corals, that is why these countries especially China don't want to give up and would really want to claim there rights on their territorial sea.
An ideal location for military stategies as well.Which is china's main goals.
Of your not blind Philippines is closer to it even when Spain occupied as that's whole little island in west Philippines main part of us but something goes wrong during British empire if you want to own the little island they can't actually cut It of they can still route to Philippines directly wtf china aim here to have an eye on Philippines since it was the real tradeway in ocean since ancient time and china aren't moving for know because du30 cut ties on west :) a lot people mock him but he's really bright that's what china wants it's likely he made a favor to china and Philippines wasn't invaded or under threat because Du30 have agreement to Putin Russia :) guess The president idea
If china want the trade way I would rather give it to Russia with protection to us that the UN and UsA fail to grant you idiot were going to be the ainu in Southeast soon we are native of ruso;)
Regarding the Ba as syllable, when you form words using it, the intonation and stress will play a big role in terms of distinguishing which word are you trying to say.
In Iloilo (a province in the Visayas), you can converse jist using the word "kwan". Just mix it with hand signals and you can communicate with the locals...
Yes I'm ilonggo myself

Spratly Island has the most natural resources
Thanks to your reaction...love from the Philippines.
FYI you can find coconut trees anywhere in the Philippines. Even in the cities there are tons, how much more in rural areas.
Most of the local dialects in the Philippines have Spanish, Greek and Latin mixtures. In 1987, Cory Aquino abolished the SPANISH subject because they thought it was useless, and in 2007, UP Diliman pushed THE TAGALOG policy replacing the English language.
Thank you for reacting love from Filipinos
Filipinos another language is called " TAGLISH ". combination of english & tagalog. Sometimes when they find it hard the Tagalog term they will say it in English .
11:18
Nope..that's 100% real..those are chocolate hills..they turn green when it rains because of the green plants growing..or is it the other way around? I forgot..😅😶
You gotta do this for the other countries too! I'd love to see your reactions :)
@Klixx_Yt Oh awesome!
I thought cariñosa was our national dance. But tinikling deserves to be our national folk dance because it explains a lot of pinoy culture
HELLO PHILIPPINES BEAUTIFUL ISLAND YAHOOO
The one syllable conversation is done by the different inflection on the syllable. Each inflection pertains to a specific word in Tagalog.
The islands that has been fought is for the power over territory, cause as you can see ASEAN countries are mostly made up of 3rd World Countries and the resources in those islands.
nice places i want to visit philipine one day . love from malaysia

I think it is difficult to just one. Pilino is our identity, but English are mostly use in making dkcuments. In my secondary school, you will be fined if you are cought speaking bisaya within the school premises. Some people are shy to speak enen if they can speak English. Written is dif from conversational
Philippines used to be a muslim country. Manila’s old name was Fi Amanillah means City of Peace Under Allah’s Safekeeping in arabic
That's not true, the Manila was named after the Nilad grass (place where Nilad are abundant), that was how Tagalog people used to name places. Others, Masantol (place where santol tree are abundant), Malate (full of salt), Macati (full of sacati grass). That Amanillah thing was not even recorded in history, and had been propagated by the "Balik-Islam" movement and Yusuf Ledesma. Also Manila was not even 100% Muslims prior to arrival of the Spaniards. AND ISLAM WAS JUST CONCENTRATED IN MANILA AREA , NOT IN THE ENTIRE LUZON!. Study your History. Fake News! In Mindanao, Islam was not even the religion of the entire island, there Lumads, the Bagobos, Bukidnuns....come on...learn your history and stop spreading false information.
Watch "United States" to Imperial America: Our Hidden Empire on youtube to know more about your American Imperial history and modern day Geography. The mainland USA consist about 2/3 of US controled territories.
The Political agenda of the U.S in the Philippines was huge and unfortunately it still is for a lot of Filipino-Americans. Yes we are a democratic country currently, but that dictatorship claims in the past we're all one sided hate against our progress in the past. The former president wanted socialism because democracy is not a perfect system and can led to oligarchs controlling everything. The CIA kidnapped our former president and then the Philippines had to fall in 1986 after that, they closed our nuclear energy, the Philippine peso went weaker and the investors left, due to chaotic and incompetent political will of the liberal Party, after our former president got kidnapped. He was not a dictator and in fact he has large supporters even now. It's kinda like how the U.S is interfering with Venezuela right now.
We don't really share much towards foreigners about politics since the media is always against Filipinos, they'd just continue to misinform foreigners. Now we have a good leader with 91% approval rating, the highest so far. We now have monthly benefits for the poor like 4p's, free medicines in neighborhood centers, free education in public including college, free housing in some parts of the nation and we're currently the 12th most safest country in the world in 2020 Gallup index, which is still unreported by the international media. I still prefer socialism over the undisciplined capitalist democracy. Like how Singapore and Canada are currently on a socialist system. The filipino people also want to have a federalist system in the country. Thank you for reading, never believe the media nor the hate by foreigners towards our government and the victim mindset of the unproductive Filipinos. You have to look on both sides and get the genuine opinions of the ones who are actually living here from a foreign and local standpoint that are here and see how things are with your own eyes.
Have a good one!👍
Those islands around the Philippines are IF other countries claims its theirs, it definitely has something in it, like spratleys is full of oil. Theres another one that another country wants yo claim as theirs because of its diversity of marine creatures, all these they claim are theirs when in geographical boundaries it clearly says it belongs to the Philippine Territory
Since our model is US, the form of government we have is Republic. We are a democratic country. US and Phils have mostly the same laws.
The Philippines is a democratic country with Presidential US-type of government. Hope this helps!
Those islands contains resources. You get money from it.

I’m not sure if there are coconuts in CA.
At 11:10 that picture has definitely been tweaked a little bit, but depending on the time of the year and day you visit the Chocolate Hills, you can definitely see a sight like the photo shown! I know about this since I live in Bohol, the island where they're situated. Our house is around a half an hour's drive from them.
Best time to visit them is during the summer when the grass turns brown because of the heat, hence they look more like hundreds of gigantic lumps of chocolate. Also best if you visit either before sunrise or just before sunset.. Before sunrise, and nearing the rainy season, the nearby hills can usually be seen covered with a layer of fog so you can only see their tips. Visiting them before or during sunset gives the hills and the area a more reddish orange glow, and the shadows created by the mounds can be quite a breeathtaking sight to see.
The Philippines is definitely a beautiful country, and I am glad that you are getting to know it! 🤗
MACARTHUR IS RIGHT " GIVE ME 1000 PILIPINO SOLDIERS .. I WILL CONQUER THE WORLD" ITS TRUE. LIKE IN KOREAN WAR.. 1,000 PILIPINO SOLDIERS AGAINST 100,000 NORTH KOREAN.. PILIPINOS TOP THEM ALL.. ITS A FACT. IN MARAWI SEIGE VS. ISIS .. 4 TO 5 MONTHS WAR ITS DONE... PILIPINOS ARE GREAT WARRIORS.... GOB BLESS PHILIPPINES
Philippines have the sweetest coconuts and mangoes. Philippines export tons of coconut worldwide yearly.... After more than 20years of dictatorship, the people took over via the People Power revolution in 1986, with not a single life or blood lost. So we are back to democracy, with a President that is elected every 6 years..thanks for this reaction...Mabuhay!

Chocolate Hills that are looking chocolate after raining or even times without the greenery except around them.
The spratly Islands were actually reef that barely stuck up above the water. These reefs were biological homes for thousands of fish a other related species . This ocean was rich in some of the best commercial fishing in Asia and when the country to remain nameless came in and started dredging up the sea
The importance of the island lies in the minerals under it and the fisheries in it and the control of shipping that passes thru it.
