  • It was nice to meet Basel aka The Hungry Syrian Wanderer. He shared how hard it was for him to be in a foreign land away from his family and how the "mga tao" here in the Philippines has captured his heart.

    "I don't deny the fact that I am a fully blooded Syrian because if you deny your origin, you can't be
    loyal anymore. I was born in Syria and I fell in love with the Philippines. Why did I convert to Filipino?
    I choose to live here." -Basel

    Philippine is my second home; stayed there for 9 years. My husband and I were both in the Philippines and upon returned home to our country we have also travelled to few countries in the world. But I always told my husband that I would always want to choose to visit the Philippines over and over because indeed "mga tao in the Philippines is the best". I have the best of friends in the Philippines whom I miss everyday.

    The last line was a punchline from Basel, the people here are stiff, I lived for many years in Belgium I grew up here and when I go to Philippines I feel alive ...the warmth and the smiles of the people. I miss that a lot...here I have no friends and it's hard to even talk to people like your neighbor etc. This interview with Toni was awesome,intimate and chilled. I really like Toni, she has a great vibe and she is the first famous Filipina that I have got to know.

    “Toni talks” is better than those talk shows on TV. Agree?
    The interviewer, interviewee, the topic and questions being ask are on point... she’s not being biased to a specific network so she has more freedom to ask questions that would help clarify things and that would also help the respondent be more true not only to himself but to the audience, as well.
    Mas magaaan sa pakiramdam panuorin kasi you would feel the honesty, sincerity, and respect. Very informative, indeed. ❤️

    Hello Basel. I'm Pearl, a Filipina living in Cologne, Germany since 1991. I stumbled upon your vlog today and viewed you showing your Dad around in Makati, the mall, Tagaytay, eating Bulalo, marketing meat and fruits, etc. And then I watched your interview which moved me to tears. You are such an inspiration. Your Dad is right when he told you that, "What doesn't kill you no matter how difficult, will only make you stronger." I hope life treats you well and that you stay healthy and humble. God works in mysterious ways and evidently he has already something beautiful and wonderful planned for you. So keep the faith and trust only in him. Btw, we're both Scorpions (my birthday is in November 13).

    Hi Basel, Filipinos already accepted you as one of us. Your interaction with people wherever you go comes out easily. You have done so much help to many of our countrymen especially during the pandemic and being an entrepreneur here will surely give more opportunities to more of us. May God give you more happiness and a long life. Watching from the USA.

This guy is very intelligent with a very strong foundation of Good Morals and Values. RESPECT.

    The country is lucky to have someone like Basel. He seems to be genuine and honest for loving the Philippines and in the short period he's been there, he learned the language, got an Engineering Degree, started his own business and helped and hired 40 Pinoys to give them an opportunity to have a decent livelihood and promised to share with them the benefits in the event that his business grows and flourishes. How much more can you ask from him? He's done more than most Filipinos to help our kababayans. Wish him nothing but the best and success in all his endeavors which should also benefit the country. Love your video and ... MABUHAY !!!
