I think.. this segment is not about the woman able to determine which one is the real Filipino. Instead, its about how non-Filipino can speak Philippine language in a fluent and convincing manner. I think all of them are really awesome❤
They all said that they migrated to the US, meaning they all claim to be originally a resident of the Philippines. But most of them don't have that unique Filipino accent
Icl, I’d be happy to accept all of them as Filipinos when they spent time to learn and speak our languages. Thank you for appreciating and learning our culture and languages!
The Caucasian guy sounds so convincing. The others I can identify in a heartbeat. You can immediately identify them immediately by the grammar, accent and choice of words.
That's true. iba talaga ang pilipino talaga, kahit matagal ka na malalaman hindi pinanganak sa pinas, like here in italy i'm living here 32 years, pero wala pa rin di ko makuha ang real italian accent, napapag kamalan pa akong south american sa italian accent ko, i'm working in the government as interviewer pero wala pa rin.
If you're Filipino, it's easy to tell from the accent - the neutral, non-exaggerated one. Those who spoke with the Cebuano-Tagalog mix could mess you up though..Last guy was pretty good..
As a native Cebuano speaker who can also speak Tagalog and Hiligaynon. They were pretty easy to guess too. Normal Cebuano is rapid-fire, no hesitation, full of glottal stops. Hiligaynon is even faster than Cebuano when spoken, but with a specific rhythm to the sentences. Like a short pause at the beginning, rapid fire in the middle, ending with another lilting pause.
@@AngryKittens Huh? What do you mean "even faster"? Hiligaynon speakers are actually the slowest. They speak slowly with a rhythm and unique accent, not rapid fire like Cebuano.
@@DaveChuaa Do you even speak Cebuano or Ilonggo? As I said, I speak both. Tagalog ka siguro kung nagapati ka ana. Daw hinay nagasugod ug nagahuman ang ilonggo, ka-dasig gid nya ya sa gintung-an na sang ginahambal mo. You've mentioned two stereotypes so far: that bisaya sounds angry and that ilonggo is slow. Those stereotypes only sound true to Tagalogs. Not to us. To us, _Tagalog_ is the one that sounds slow (almost feminine even, because of the open vowels).
I wish we were told the nationality of each person in the group. That would have been a good ending for the show cause it would be interesting to know where they were originally from. Their comprehension and spoken tagalog is quite good.
You know she’s the real Filipino because of the nuances in her use of the language. She uses words like “bale”, “ano siya”, “sa tingin ko kasi”, “lalo na kung”.. :)
The second to last guy was good imo. his use of "Kwan" as a filler is on point, only those who grew up as bisaya typically use that 😄 sa ano, sa kwan, sa may kwan 😂
@@jeromeibanez2891 They are less Filipino, though. They grew up in a different environment. They may be ethnically Filipino, but culturally, they aren't.
@@maureendadivas5968 I think it is kuan, I haven’t heard people use kwan as it doesn’t sound like how Visayans say it. But I guess it is just his accent.
I think she already knows Richelle is the Filipino after her introduction. If she said it immediately, then this guessing game is done. Aheahehahea! Last guy did a good one. Word choices, stutters, and accent. Sounds really Pinoy.
the guy that sang was really funny. seems like a cool guy to be friends with. cant belive he isnt the filipino but the accent gave it away. its pretty good though. all of them were impressive. maybe hes's half filipino. he just gives me pinoy vibes and he definitly has the pinoy humour. kina reminds me of my cousin
I was going to say that too but the last question he said “they” when describing what made Filipinos awesome. Other than That, that was probably the only clue he let on
@@pinkachuu5226Tho i agree that she is definitely the cleanest speaker of them all, the last guy did put out a convincing “struggling to communicate in filipino because I have a provincial dialect” vibe to his voice.
would’ve been great to do a quick post interview like they do in Cut with all the contestants to see how they got so connected to the philippines even tho they’re not filipinos
For me, you can easily tell who is a genuine Filipino by their accent, and you can easily eliminate those who appear to be struggling just to have a genuine Filipino accent, But it was admirable that every impostor did their best to speak with a Filipino accent, amazing indeed! :)
I think the more someone tries the filipino accent the more it gives it away. I closed my eyes on the last person, he was consistent all througout except for the last answer. I think he was just tired or he panicked. Also, the bisaya guy was spot on for me.
I was the bisaya guy! I wish I was as fluent as I was when I lived in Cebu back in 2013. My wife is from Negros, and she speaks fluently, but I typically only respond to her in English. This was my wake up call to practice again. Lmao!
Wow. I'm impressed by every impostor's ability to speak in dialects. Richelle was the most obvious Filipina right from round 1 lol, but I'm super amazed by #10. He sounded so Filipino aside from tiny grammar/pronunciation/accent that gave him away. 😅
The last guy is very close to being a natural Filipino speaker. They should ask more people that speaks like him so it'll be harder😅. But of course, there's always a distinction to the way we speak. Each Filipino word has a unique feature that on Filipino can speak. Even if they speak Conyo, we can tell they're Filipino.
The way the Filipino lady sounded is so Filipino, she sounds very nervous and shy. Parang typical Filipino na takot ma-interview, very reserve. 😊 I can definitely identify her I the first round pa lang. 😊
This is awesome. I never thought that other people would be interested in Filipino culture but they all did great. They all speak the various languages and know the Philippine current events. Great video! :)
Right off the bat, from the introduction, you can tell 5 is the Filipina. But 9’s sense of humor and confidence is so pinoy! 10 was also pretty convincing, his Filipino is really near native.
Ah, I wish that they shared the background of the other contestants! I was so curious about why some of them can speak Filipino why some of them were born in the PH❤ loved the vid tho~ #pinoypride
I know one of the contestant. He's a returned missionary. He served in the Philippines for 2 years to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ and find people to convert.
I'm 1/4 Pinay and have been mistaken as a missionary since I'm fluent in bisaya (my grandma's dialect) and Tagalog (we lived there for 5 years). Unfortunately, my bisaya accent comes out when I speak Tagalog which confuses Filipinos even more 😂 Anyway, there are A LOT of missionaries in the Philippines. Even in small towns! I was surprised to see a Mormon church in a farming area in Capiz! Anyway, when my family lived in the Philippines in the early 2000s, my parents worked for an international organization helping the poor in the slums of Tondo. I remember meeting a lot of missionaries (mostly Mormons) and baptists from SK. While my folks did their medical missions, the Mormons and baptists gave free food. The Mormons are fluent in different dialects which I think made converting much easier compared to the Korean baptists. I think they were there mostly just to help and not really convert. I returned five years ago and the Mormons are still there trying to convert. But I've always been impressed at how fluent they are even the accents are great. I heard they study for years before they go off to do their missions in their chosen country.
@@Moss_piglets No. It just takes them between 6 to 9 weeks to learn a foreign language before sending them to their assigned country. The country they were assigned to were not chosen by the missionaries but instead "An assignment to one of the more than 400 missions presently operating around the world comes from God through a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, acting with the authorization of the Lord’s living prophet. The spiritual gifts of prophecy and revelation attend all mission calls and assignments.”
This is by far the most entertaining "guess the real or nationality" video that i've watch so far, all of the paticipants gave a real pinoy impersonations and i guess they are really grow up or came here in the philippines... 👋👋👋
I think her answer about liking the British actor because of his high nose bridge tends to give her away also, because I've observed nose jobs for Filipinos is the opposite of those jobs for Westerners, as usually in the West they try to reduce the bridge of the nose, where is in the Philippines they use implants and fillers to build it up.
I knew who the Filipino is based on Claudine-Rico loveteam. They are one of the oldest love teams that I knew. They were really popular when I was still a kid and I still remember them. You'll never know them unless you grew up here/you're a Filipino. Same as the basis of the contestant.
You can easily tell which one is which just by listening to their accents, no matter how good you are in a language you will always retain the accent of the language that you normally speak. Also another thing to look at is how they use the words, In learning a language it is very important to know the contextual meaning of a certain word or phrases and know how to utilize them perfectly in a given situation.
If you had cousin's and family that grew up in other country they might have accent like this but most common accent from them would be the "barok" one.
sentence construction talaga e no? para sakin giveaway yung nagsasabi ng "lumpia syempre" kesa sabihin na "syempre lumpia". tsaka yung "sobrang sexy siya" imbis na "sobrang sexy niya".
They are actually very good in Filipino. As a multilingual filipino, nabubulol nga ako speaking my own language these people speak better Filipino than me 😂
Where you the last guy? I applaud your fluency in speaking fluent conversational tagalog. Your diction, accent and grammar are all spot on. You even know which words a typical Filipino would use an English word instead of the Tagalog one.
Thank you Allen, i was pretty nervous during the last question, hehe. I learned Tagalog by living in the Philippines for two years as a missionary for my church. I have tried to keep it up by continuing to use it as much as possible. I work in healthcare so usually I have Filipino coworkers I can talk to. I regularly listen to OPM music and watch Pinoy movies also.
This is so fun! I had trouble when some of them started speaking in nonTagalog languages. For Tagalog, foreigners tend to have trouble with subtle pronunciation nuances between the 4 types of word stresses: mabilis, maragsa, malumay, malumi. So interesting that they also give themselves away when they don't know the "basic" barrio fiesta food. Not all popular Filipino food is for fiestas! Usually the Spanish-influenced foods are considered fiesta food. That was such a smart question.
It’s so awesome to see people from other countries speaking pretty good Tagalog and or Bisaya!! They probably have a lot of love for the Philippines and that’s my favorite part of this video ❤️
9 and 10, those guys' accents were so good. As in, pinoy yign pag salita nila. Lumaki kaya sila sa Pinas? Pero lahat sila, ang galing mag Filipino at Bisaya. Nakakatuwa ☺️
given how complex tagalog grammar and how removed tagalog phonetics are from english, i think it would have been a more fair if you had them say singular words or scripted phrases. but all the participants (maliban kay ate malamang hahaha) should be commended for having a grasp of tagalog at all since they're non-natives. i repeat, it is *not* an easy language!! 👏👏
most are obvious to those born/raised in PH based on accent as early as intro and everyone did well to be one but the guy who got eliminated last i have to say was very unexpectedly filipino! the cebuano/bisaya was tricky too and the singing bicolano was a nice touch! thanks all
I’m filipino but i personally put less emphasis on their accents (since americanised filipinos are a thing and they CAN acquire accents that steer quite a bit away from the usual Filipino accent, with or without a dialect blend) but rather placed more emphasis on how much of a deep cut their cultural knowledge is. Last guy did so damn well since he answered just as how anybody would, and perhaps be even more convincing than an actual Filipino. The guesser was lucky that the celebrity duo question was such a deep cut answer that not even a common filipino would know it. Without that, it’d be way harder to distinguish the two finalists. Kudos to the guy. Did not stop at studying the accent and basic answers, but rather the background mentality on how a Filipino would answer.
I listened to this instead of watching to see if I could also guess and I knew right away it was Richille the first time she spoke. The accent was obvious. 😁 great video! #MabuhayPhilippines 🇵🇭
the LAST guy ..,very pilipino sa puso .ung second kahit saan dako nang pilipinas mo dalhin .ha,ha, goodvibes lng c sir ingats everyone and GOD BLESSED.😍👍🙏👋👏
Wow... Just by speaking their intros, you can easily identify which one's the native Filipino speaker... But then if you consider their "halfness", well, they're still considered Filipino... But I applaud these guys being able to speak Filipinos as well as they do... I wonder how they are able to speak the language that well...
I loved this so much! Everyone did a really great job. The last guy and the one who sang really sounded so Filipino. I'm so jellies that they speak Tagalog so well. I'm FULL Filipino and cannot speak one word. Time to take lessons!
@@ukkaju2751 Because when my parents finally had kids, they were told not to teach their kids Tagalog because it would confuse us. :( WTF I'm mad my parents listened to those people. But they spoke Tagalog to each other, so at least I can understand fluently.
Great video. Would have been awesome to hear the other people's experiences in learning the language/culture. Was hoping to hear from them but then the video just ended.
She was right. She could've gotten it first try. The accent is just a dead giveaway. Most common mistakes: * Wrong stresses on the syllables. * Not pronouncing the glottal stop. Like in lumpia. Which has a glottal stop at the end. It's the "invisible consonant" in Filipino languages. * Too perfect pronunciations, pronouncing some words in their entirety with none of the elisions/shortcuts. * Not code-speaking. Using far too many native words instead of the usual Taglish/Bislish. When they do insert English or Spanish words, they pronounce the English words perfectly, and they use PROPER Spanish like "chinela" instead of the always-plural "chinelaS" in Filipino. * Missing "word connectors" and pronouns. etc. Rosa for example, omits words like "si" or the connecting suffix "-ng" (gusto koNG sumayaw) * (for men only) Voices pitched too high and too nasal that they sound distinctly feminine to Filipino ears. Almost like they're speaking Thai or Vietnamese. * The lilt at the end. Most foreigners unconsciously add it. Like they're questioning if what they said was right. That said, Reynaldo seriously has the BEST accent out of them so far. Kudos to them all for learning though.
The 6th part sounding like feminine made me smile, I'm a Filipino guy and most of the time I talk to someone for the first time on the phone they would called me Ma'm, then I always tell them I'm a guy.
Can't believe the Phillipines is still stuck in colonial era. Why can't ya'll just accept your asian culture, instead of assimilating in the latin culture. You guys are asians, so do the asian stuff. You guys need a radical chnage.
this is really cool though. as a Filipino born here in the Philippines it was pretty easy to distinguish them based on accents and even just their initial introductions based on how they worded it but it's nice because those small nuances let me appreciate our own language more. still, shout out to the last guy. definitely made it more challenging.
Proudest content being one of the Filipinos culture 👏 kudos to all foreigners who love and abide the right way of becoming a truly filipino country men . 👏 mabuhay Pilipinas ,Philippines 🇵🇭 ♥️ Love you'll amen.
I know she got it just right from the start during intros but as a Filipino she was trying to be nice, but the runner-up dude with the beard sounds really really Filipino and even has the intonations and tiny accentuations of words down to a t, but it's really great hearing foreigners speak Filipino♥.
Oh man kudos to the foreigners with pusong pinoy. They were really good! I think a handful of them sound more Filipino than me! Coming from a Kiwi-Manileño
I mean, even if you don't look at them, you'll get who's the Filipino just by the enunciation right away. Also by how she speaks, she really speaks like a nanay.
During the first round, I didn't look at the screen and my top 2 choices were numbers 5 (Richille) and 10 (Paul). Paul's accent could easily pass for Filipino. 😀
@@RiceSquad But the point of the game is to guess, with a Filipino accent too obvious it is simply too easy. Also, I think you are already purposely tricking the guesser with the foreign participants who can speak Filipino, though that also did not help to make guessing harder since their foreign accent is also a dead giveaway. Still a good concept though and an entertaining video.
or maybe foreigners who had lived in the philippines for 10-20 years. I have seen youtubers who lived in the Philippines for less than that but their accent and grammar are perfect. Like Bisayang Hilaw hahahah.
Last 2 guys almost had it, the grammar and the starter word they use is on point. Even in my case it would be a tough call, but the Rico yan and Barreto seals the deal, that's an OG local popularity on the 90s especially if you watch PBO (Pinoy Box Office). Also because of that fact it clearly shows Richelle is from Metro Manila
I would've gotten it in 2-3 tries It'll only be a challenge cus the last guy knows how to speak Filipino with a natural accent + he knows the culture pretty well
I watched this with my eyes closed as I was lying down in bed about to go to sleep and as soon as number 5 introduced herself I instantly said “ah yan ang pinoy” and I was right! A lot of them had good accents but, it was the “filipino diction” that gave it away for me. I guess it’s just harder for filipinos living outside the Philippines for a very long time to recognize that part? And yeah they did their accent well but not to perfection Nice video though! 😊
the last 2 guys and the last girl are really good, but most notably the last guy. he had the accent, tone and expression on point. also, i had this on the background while cooking lunch so it felt like i was playing along 😅
Guess the REAL Filipino Part 2 is out now! - czcams.com/video/weDjoJ_RcA0/video.html
The last guy did a pretty good job, he sounds so Filipino
'Kala ko si Reyster po Hahahha
So true

He's pretty good hahaha
If you're a Filipino, Just by the intro you can guess who is the right one.

Correct
I think.. this segment is not about the woman able to determine which one is the real Filipino. Instead, its about how non-Filipino can speak Philippine language in a fluent and convincing manner.
I think all of them are really awesome❤
I'll never know why a white dude hung in there till the very end. That's the real entertainment value of this video.
Facts.
Not really, you can tell who’s not
They all said that they migrated to the US, meaning they all claim to be originally a resident of the Philippines. But most of them don't have that unique Filipino accent
Half of these are yt incel who can't get laid in USA cuz their women got taken by bbc so they had to go SEAMAXX

I knew who the Filipino is based on Claudine-Rico loveteam. They are one of the oldest love teams that I knew. They were really popular when I was still a kid and I still remember them. You'll never know them unless you grew up here/you're a Filipino. Same as the basis of the contestant.
You can easily tell which one is which just by listening to their accents, no matter how good you are in a language you will always retain the accent of the language that you normally speak. Also another thing to look at is how they use the words, In learning a language it is very important to know the contextual meaning of a certain word or phrases and know how to utilize them perfectly in a given situation.
That's really true. You can spot easily a Filipino even if they speak English. Accent, and how they construct sentences.
tumpak!
If you had cousin's and family that grew up in other country they might have accent like this but most common accent from them would be the "barok" one.
Yung humuhula nga sigeng englis parang tangaa bakit ko pala pinapanuod to
sentence construction talaga e no? para sakin giveaway yung nagsasabi ng "lumpia syempre" kesa sabihin na "syempre lumpia". tsaka yung "sobrang sexy siya" imbis na "sobrang sexy niya".
i closed my eyes as they introduced themselves. i knew right away who the Filipino is by their accent during the first round. So easy.
omfg this video is GREAT and so entertaining. Super impressed by the last 2 guys...wow
right off the bat you can tell based on how they construct their sentences.
Give the guy that sang the Manny song and the national anthem a honorary citizenship. Dang dude!❤
the claudine and rico answer really gave it away because they are classics
Last guy just kills it with the accent. He's got the corners and the hard R's down.
They are all Pinoy at heart! Love this.
They are actually very good in Filipino. As a multilingual filipino, nabubulol nga ako speaking my own language these people speak better Filipino than me 😂
Filming this was so fun! Sana maulit muli!
Where you the last guy? I applaud your fluency in speaking fluent conversational tagalog. Your diction, accent and grammar are all spot on. You even know which words a typical Filipino would use an English word instead of the Tagalog one.
Opo, ako ang #10. Thank you for your kind words. I love studying and speaking Tagalog any chance I get.
Where’d you learn Tagalog? It was so good! Diction, accent and grammar are on point! I think you just panicked at the end and gave it away.
Thank you Allen, i was pretty nervous during the last question, hehe. I learned Tagalog by living in the Philippines for two years as a missionary for my church. I have tried to keep it up by continuing to use it as much as possible. I work in healthcare so usually I have Filipino coworkers I can talk to. I regularly listen to OPM music and watch Pinoy movies also.
Ang galing mo po mag Tagalog, kuya!
This is so fun! I had trouble when some of them started speaking in nonTagalog languages. For Tagalog, foreigners tend to have trouble with subtle pronunciation nuances between the 4 types of word stresses: mabilis, maragsa, malumay, malumi. So interesting that they also give themselves away when they don't know the "basic" barrio fiesta food. Not all popular Filipino food is for fiestas! Usually the Spanish-influenced foods are considered fiesta food. That was such a smart question.
They should have asked what was their favorite show to watch on tfc! I would have said wow wow wee
It’s so awesome to see people from other countries speaking pretty good Tagalog and or Bisaya!! They probably have a lot of love for the Philippines and that’s my favorite part of this video ❤️
Number 10. Wow the words, the accent, and intonation were so spot on.
9 and 10, those guys' accents were so good. As in, pinoy yign pag salita nila. Lumaki kaya sila sa Pinas? Pero lahat sila, ang galing mag Filipino at Bisaya. Nakakatuwa ☺️
given how complex tagalog grammar and how removed tagalog phonetics are from english, i think it would have been a more fair if you had them say singular words or scripted phrases. but all the participants (maliban kay ate malamang hahaha) should be commended for having a grasp of tagalog at all since they're non-natives. i repeat, it is *not* an easy language!! 👏👏
the last guy had it going, intonation, preferences, soft voice...actually the last 3 guys could fool you if you dont really watch it
most are obvious to those born/raised in PH based on accent as early as intro and everyone did well to be one but the guy who got eliminated last i have to say was very unexpectedly filipino! the cebuano/bisaya was tricky too and the singing bicolano was a nice touch! thanks all
I’m filipino but i personally put less emphasis on their accents (since americanised filipinos are a thing and they CAN acquire accents that steer quite a bit away from the usual Filipino accent, with or without a dialect blend)
but rather placed more emphasis on how much of a deep cut their cultural knowledge is. Last guy did so damn well since he answered just as how anybody would, and perhaps be even more convincing than an actual Filipino. The guesser was lucky that the celebrity duo question was such a deep cut answer that not even a common filipino would know it. Without that, it’d be way harder to distinguish the two finalists.
Kudos to the guy. Did not stop at studying the accent and basic answers, but rather the background mentality on how a Filipino would answer.
I listened to this instead of watching to see if I could also guess and I knew right away it was Richille the first time she spoke. The accent was obvious. 😁 great video! #MabuhayPhilippines 🇵🇭
My nephew got 2nd place. Such a proud auntie!
Thanks for having me, that was a a blast!
Ikaw yong kumunta 2x? 😄
@@StaceyGames Nope!
You did so well! ❤
you are so witty zhjshsjshahhaha
the LAST guy ..,very pilipino sa puso .ung second kahit saan dako nang pilipinas mo dalhin .ha,ha, goodvibes lng c sir ingats everyone and GOD BLESSED.😍👍🙏👋👏
Ang galing nya at nakuha niya talaga sino ang pinoy. I agree Rico and Claudine caught my attention kasi nga 90ths love team.
That lava dress joke got me to give a like. amazing 🤣. and that last guy definitely did/still does his language study bc he's freakin good!
She's right. Claudine and Rico were the key words there since they're classic celebrities. Only a real pinoy can remember them.
Wow... Just by speaking their intros, you can easily identify which one's the native Filipino speaker... But then if you consider their "halfness", well, they're still considered Filipino... But I applaud these guys being able to speak Filipinos as well as they do... I wonder how they are able to speak the language that well...
In our area, no one serves Adobo in parties because it's an everyday food. Menudo will always be the one present in our parties!
Indeed!
Where? My grandma is bisaya and we never had menudo at our parties. We always had pork and chicken adobo.
Lechon talaga
I loved this so much! Everyone did a really great job. The last guy and the one who sang really sounded so Filipino. I'm so jellies that they speak Tagalog so well. I'm FULL Filipino and cannot speak one word. Time to take lessons!
Sige aral ka po o uwi ka muna sa Pinas.
why can't you speak it? just curious
@@ukkaju2751 Because when my parents finally had kids, they were told not to teach their kids Tagalog because it would confuse us. :( WTF I'm mad my parents listened to those people. But they spoke Tagalog to each other, so at least I can understand fluently.
@@rebecca2653 that is very common among Filipino abroad. The myth that 'it will confuse'.
Great video. Would have been awesome to hear the other people's experiences in learning the language/culture. Was hoping to hear from them but then the video just ended.
aside from the accents im really impressed at how they grasped the languages... cebuano, tagalog i think i even heard a bit of hiligaynon from one.
She was right. She could've gotten it first try. The accent is just a dead giveaway. Most common mistakes:
* Wrong stresses on the syllables.
* Not pronouncing the glottal stop. Like in lumpia. Which has a glottal stop at the end. It's the "invisible consonant" in Filipino languages.
* Too perfect pronunciations, pronouncing some words in their entirety with none of the elisions/shortcuts.
* Not code-speaking. Using far too many native words instead of the usual Taglish/Bislish. When they do insert English or Spanish words, they pronounce the English words perfectly, and they use PROPER Spanish like "chinela" instead of the always-plural "chinelaS" in Filipino.
* Missing "word connectors" and pronouns. etc. Rosa for example, omits words like "si" or the connecting suffix "-ng" (gusto koNG sumayaw)
* (for men only) Voices pitched too high and too nasal that they sound distinctly feminine to Filipino ears. Almost like they're speaking Thai or Vietnamese.
* The lilt at the end. Most foreigners unconsciously add it. Like they're questioning if what they said was right.
That said, Reynaldo seriously has the BEST accent out of them so far. Kudos to them all for learning though.
Chill lng po, laro lng po ito
@@GodsBlessing00 I am chill. LOL. Just explaining why it's difficult for non-native speakers to get the accent right, usually.
@@AngryKittens Salamat sa insight, na gets ko na bakit madali malaman yung iba na hindi Pilipino.
The 6th part sounding like feminine made me smile, I'm a Filipino guy and most of the time I talk to someone for the first time on the phone they would called me Ma'm, then I always tell them I'm a guy.
Can't believe the Phillipines is still stuck in colonial era. Why can't ya'll just accept your asian culture, instead of assimilating in the latin culture. You guys are asians, so do the asian stuff. You guys need a radical chnage.
this is really cool though. as a Filipino born here in the Philippines it was pretty easy to distinguish them based on accents and even just their initial introductions based on how they worded it but it's nice because those small nuances let me appreciate our own language more.
still, shout out to the last guy. definitely made it more challenging.
,😶🌫️ 3:38 :-):^)
Super wholesome. I love these videos.
already knew before they started speaking she's Filipino just by looking at it. The way she stand. smile, hair,
i kiinda wish the filipino wasnt revealed to us, so we can play along
this would be funny concept to find them based on their singing too
Proudest content being one of the Filipinos culture 👏 kudos to all foreigners who love and abide the right way of becoming a truly filipino country men . 👏 mabuhay Pilipinas ,Philippines 🇵🇭 ♥️ Love you'll amen.
I laugh when that guy sing Phillippine Anthem ....they are Great ..They really love our Country..Blessings to everyone
The introduction alone is enough. I close my eyes while hearing their voice. The 10th one was the closest among non Filipino.
10 is so NATURAL!! Ahahaha i tried watching while my eyes close. It was hard!
Aww this was a great laugh. Was hoping you introduced the others, curious to know how 9 and 10 are convincingly Pinoy-sounding.
I know she got it just right from the start during intros but as a Filipino she was trying to be nice, but the runner-up dude with the beard sounds really really Filipino and even has the intonations and tiny accentuations of words down to a t, but it's really great hearing foreigners speak Filipino♥.
Love the work put in by the contestants!
just by watching everyone's intro and their accent, you can already pick the right one
THE LAST GUY IS SO GOOD AT SPEAKING TAGALOG AND HE SOUNDS SO FILIPINO WHAT THE HECCCCCC HES SO COOL
We appreciate your effort and hard work on this channel. God bless you.
Thank you 🙏
The grammar is the top give away. Non native speaker tend to be more formal when speaking Tagalog.
All of them are really awesome, fantastic video. GOD bless Philippines
Oh man kudos to the foreigners with pusong pinoy. They were really good! I think a handful of them sound more Filipino than me! Coming from a Kiwi-Manileño
I mean, even if you don't look at them, you'll get who's the Filipino just by the enunciation right away. Also by how she speaks, she really speaks like a nanay.
During the first round, I didn't look at the screen and my top 2 choices were numbers 5 (Richille) and 10 (Paul). Paul's accent could easily pass for Filipino. 😀
ito reason kng baket ako nagfollow HAHAH! ang ganda ng content!!
Do this again but with a younger Filipino who grew up in the US. Her accent is a dead giveaway.
haha true, but I didn't want to purposely trick the guesser, I wanted to portray an authentic Filipino from the Philippines
@@RiceSquad But the point of the game is to guess, with a Filipino accent too obvious it is simply too easy. Also, I think you are already purposely tricking the guesser with the foreign participants who can speak Filipino, though that also did not help to make guessing harder since their foreign accent is also a dead giveaway. Still a good concept though and an entertaining video.
or maybe foreigners who had lived in the philippines for 10-20 years. I have seen youtubers who lived in the Philippines for less than that but their accent and grammar are perfect. Like Bisayang Hilaw hahahah.
The accent is REALLY Filipino! Easy to notice. But I'm enjoying while watching this. I hope to go back soon to my beloved Manila.
6:00 "Ugh, lain ka"
HAHAHA, I'm crying out loudd 😭🤣
She’s one of True Filipina HEART And mind d maloloko❤❤❤
Last 2 guys almost had it, the grammar and the starter word they use is on point. Even in my case it would be a tough call, but the Rico yan and Barreto seals the deal, that's an OG local popularity on the 90s especially if you watch PBO (Pinoy Box Office). Also because of that fact it clearly shows Richelle is from Metro Manila
I would've gotten it in 2-3 tries
It'll only be a challenge cus the last guy knows how to speak Filipino with a natural accent + he knows the culture pretty well
the last 2 guys were really good at this.
I watched this with my eyes closed as I was lying down in bed about to go to sleep and as soon as number 5 introduced herself I instantly said “ah yan ang pinoy” and I was right!
A lot of them had good accents but, it was the “filipino diction” that gave it away for me.
I guess it’s just harder for filipinos living outside the Philippines for a very long time to recognize that part?
And yeah they did their accent well but not to perfection
Nice video though! 😊
the last 2 guys and the last girl are really good, but most notably the last guy. he had the accent, tone and expression on point. also, i had this on the background while cooking lunch so it felt like i was playing along 😅
