What do you think is the biggest change in the Philippines? Share your story.
Pls fix the quality of the audio so we can enjoy your videos better:) ty
I have lived in Philippines for 4-6 months a year for 15 years. I love the people and the country. Two things I have noticed; 1. they are not quite so "foreigner friendly", almost certainly due to a minority of disrespectful Foreign A-holes who think money buys entitlement (events posted on CZcams of bad behaviour) . I personally think it is always good to keep in mind you are a guest here and an representative of your own country. The second is the increase in obesity as a doctor it concerns me the timebomb of metabolic disorders; high blood pressure, diabetes , cholesterol. I dont want to come across as negative as its concern, as I stated I love the people and the country very much
Filipinos like to eat junkfood on night street food hub. They eat a lot of grilled meat since those ihaw ihaw started
Its the high carbs diet thats making us filipino fat we need to reduce eating carbs
The one noticeable consistent with all those men, you could see in their demeanor that they are really really happy being in the Philippines.
Filipina women are starting to learn morena is the best skin color. 😊👍n.b. That guy from Canada saying the people are laid back, Filipinos take their time and he’s wearing San Miguel t-shirt. San Miguel’s old tagline was take your time, San Miguel time, lol.
I agree. The caramel tan of the filipina is so beautiful.
I think the women already know the men want the morenas😅
Yes it is!
Only white western men like it 😂
Back in the early 1980s the Philippines was less developed and more enjoyably traditional..These days there are so many foreign businesses everywhere it seems that the Philippines is being taken over..and turning into another culture..essentially Korean and Chinese in certain areas..Such a shame
My favorite food and drink in the Philippines: 6-stick pork BBQ and garlic rice. San Mig Lite beer. Chicken Asado (not chicken Adobo). Chicken Inasal. Lechon. Fresh pineapple, mangos and coconut meat. Boku juice. Mmmm.
I wish the infrastructure would include more sidewalks. Sidewalks are not thought of as a luxury until there are none. Also wish the law would enforce not peeing in public areas. There are some beautiful lakes that have potential and nice bridges, buildings, and sites that would be great to visit if it were not for the smell of urine. Once that is taken care of, it would make the smaller cities way more pleasant to visit. Also the trash pickup services need to be expanded in the province areas. I couldn't believe that it does not exist in some country provinces.
The mere presence of sidewalks doesn’t seem to help much in most of Southeast Asia because the people cover the sidewalks with all of their junk, plants, signs, motorbikes, and anything else they can find which forces the tourists walk in the street. The drivers hate dealing with the pedestrians, and the tourists hate having to walk out in the street dodging cars and motorcycles. The locals are very territorial about the sidewalks and many of them block them intentionally.
Most tourists do a lot of walking, but Southeast Asian countries don’t seem to understand the importance of walkable areas in attracting tourists dollars.
Westerners tend to stay in areas with a lot of other westerners. You gotta enjoy what Filipino’s consider FREEDOM. Coming here and demanding perfect sidewalks for instance, is trying to control and change it. I am married to a Filipina and I don’t see other westerners here in Rizal province. I like it that way. ❤😂 good video.
When it comes to Philippine rubber band time, I walk if I wait past 20 minutes.
I'll get a call two hours later, where AM I? We were supposed to meet at 7 am and they show up at 9 or 10 am.
If they don't respect my time, they don't get it. They usually don't do it again.
It makes me believe they are not hire material. And most likely on there phone when they are supposed to be working.
I AM strick like Derek, from q adventures. NO PHONE USE WHILE ON THE CLOCK. And my employees must be on the clock one hour before business starts. All to be prepared and ready for any customer that shows up.
I just need to stop and write a comment on the Norwegian dude...How can he say it safer in Thailand ? The have the worst traffic kills and injured in Asia and I think top 3 in the world...Also if not understand the language and not communicate with your surroundings you are in problem so.. Thai no never better safe than Filli.. I start travel same route in south Asia in 15 years ago and so Easy i say Philippines is the best
second guy had a lot of good insight
Guy from Norway looks like he's in great shape, and he's enjoying his life traveling around. Hope I have his health and activity level at his age. Love the video. Edit: So true about the food. Not healthy compared to other SE Asian countries like Thailand and Vietnam. Pretty funny to see the expression on his face when he says "American food." J
Nah, the cuisine varies depending on the region. The cuisine of the northern regions of Luzon revolves around vegetables/vegetarian.
@@apinezstats2237 Good to hear. Never visited PH, but have met many.
I love Thai food as much as Chinese and Vietnamese but I can say , they put sugar in most of their cooking to balance the taste + MSG for enhancing.
Why need keep prices down so majority of 🇵🇭people can live in poverty forever !!!!! That’s been the goal of big businesses and 🇵🇭governments forever !!!!!!
It's not the Philippine people or their great culture that's the issue. It's the excessive bureaucracy, stringent lending practices, declining currency, inflated speculative land and condominium prices, questionable ownerships, banks hamstrung with little government support, wages, transit infrastructure delays that are the biggest issues.
Me and my wife go there every year for 30 days but plan on moving there in the beginning of 25 everything is just beautiful there but the bad thing about it is they're getting westernized and they're following examples of other countries which really spoils their nature
Very good interview it’s easy to fall in love with a Filipina and the 🇵🇭. It’s definitely more enjoyable than Western countries. Thanks for sharing I always enjoy your content ✌🏾.
I agree! Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts as usual 😁
Great interviews!! ❤
Thanks
Salamat ❤
All your guests had great points. Andrew brought up some very interesting observations that can negatively affect the physical and mental well-being of any human. He put it where the goats can get it, but unfortunately stubbornness is a moutain that some people love to climb ✌🏾
I agree! Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts 😁
Very good random interviews sir !
Thank you!! Welcome to the channel 🥳
thank you for your nice message about Philippines enjoy your day stay safe God bless you you are a great person 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Excellent interviews, Alex. I am planning my first trip to the Philippines soon. After watching your videos, the common positive responses are about the friendliness and generosity of the Filipino people. The beach resorts there are beautiful and affordable. I returned recently from a trip to Thailand and I am looking forward to my trip to the Philippines. Great and informative videos, Alex! Keep up the great work!
The natural beauty ❤
i like what the next guy said.
be filipino. that is it.
good interviews, keep it up!
Thank you 😁
I have to agree with the second guy talking
The first guy probably had the crappy Filipino food, which should be reserved for the Filipino palate only, somewhere in the undesirable parts of the Philippines, lol. I bet he hasn't tried the more upscale Filipino cuisine in fancy restaurants.
nope, his taste bud is not suit to filipino food,
@@Livingabroadalex That just means he doesnt walk alot, like when he said Philippines not safe, just means he has prejudices and so he doesnt go out of his comfort zone. He didnt try anything outside what he knows.
But I think that was his point. That one must seek out good Filipino food. Unlike the other places he mentioned.
We don't know that. He's been coming here for the past 10 years. He just said no as safe. Doesn't necessarily mean dangerous or even as bad as his own country. Also, he can only speak for his own experience. Not what reality actually is.
I personally feel extremely safe in the Philippines.
All Filipino food is crappy
It looks like women will stop Whitening so much. The 2024 Miss Universe Philippines was every skin tone. I never seen that before. There were like 4 half black girls. And they looked alright. It wasn't like a DEI thing.
Filipinos like mix kids, beautiful mix Baby
kind words from kind foreigners
Hey what part of the Philippines are you at I'm going out there for the first time ever i land in Manila next Thursday
Cebu city
Thailand so much people take drug, espcially you travel alone, if you Lost your things, you can go back home. But if happen in Philippines you may go to Program , Raffy Tulfo, his very generous.
Takecare ❤
You are Canadian? You must have been in shock comparing your rent in Toronto with Philippine's. I think I will avoid Manilla cause rent's are stating to increase dramatically, searching for a in between thing. (still most services, but smaller, and better cost of life)
Cool guests
Thank you!
good job fiend your interviewed of me was great
My pleasure, bro! 🍻
@@Livingabroadalex in holly book said best UMMAH (You are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind;) means, the best of peoples for the people. This coming from Holly book and you also have experience living in Afghanistan. So , why you dont you believe, can you explain?
@@Livingabroadalex in Holly book God said "You are the best of peoples sent unto mankind. Then, why you keep saying and showing Philippine,Philippine,Philippine,

❤❤❤❤❤❤
Filipino time is our hasta maniana habit 😆😀😄😁👍
Wondering why the first guy doesnt appreciate the taste of our food...😮
because most Filipino foods are too salty or too oily
He has 8 kids 8 baby mamma and paid zero in child support
One dollar equal to 50 pesos to 58 pesos
Food? Not so much. A real diplomat haha. The food is terrible
Yes,def prefer morenas!
Thailand's government put a lot of money in food tourism to make it presentable for tourists. The Philippine's government is too busy trying to secure the country atm to put focus on tourism plus the regionalism is too strong to make one set recipe/menu for everyone else to follow. This doesn't mean that PH doesn't have good food. It's just that it's harder to get to them.
Agree, whenever we go to a different island, we make sure to try their food as we couldn't have it in our own place..
when the interviewee starts comparing one country to another about food, safety, economy, culture, etc. -- that's a red flag folks!🚩
it's like comparing the u.s.a to canada or mexico (which obviously are "incomparable" to each other) -- they're beyond compare!
it's sad that some tourists keep pushing this "red hot conversation" as if comparing the philippines to thailand, vietnam, cambodia, malaysia, indonesia, singapore, etc. -- would make them "knowledgeable," "edgy" or "high above the rest" and that what comes out from their mouths are "gospel of truth"
i hope this "comparison babble" has to end somewhere
i hope ... 🙏
How is that a red flag exactly?
You realize most of my audience are foreigers, retirees, or expats who want to move abroad and very often have no idea about these countries. If my gueats have visited multiple countris in SE Asia, then they are the perfect candidates to provide insight.
If the conversation moves that way, then so be it.
I suggest you focus on all the positive things 99% of my guests say about the Philippines instead of the 1% you may be offended by.
@@Livingabroadalex
let's celebrate diversity, differences, uniqueness, authenticity & creativity -- in culture, values, food flavors, beliefs, customs, businesses, attractions, so on & so forth
let's frown upon or call out misbehavior, corrupt practices, rude conduct, improper social etiquette, lawlessness, unconventional laws, bizarre standards, unsafe operations, etc.
it's not wise to normalize "comparing countries" -- as if one country is way better than the other, or ahead of the pack or the race -- especially matters concerning food, economy, culture, etc.
honestly, it made other people (be it in southeast asia, south asia, latin america, africa, etc.) feel more uncomfortable, weak, inadequate or ill-equipped -- when in reality it's just the interviewee's prejudices, biases, preferences and judgments (whether clouded or not)
through the decades, many of the best journalists / reporters / correspondents / writers / etc. around the globe -- stay away from presenting about the so-called "comparison" ("as if one country is way better than the other") -- that's the hallmark of what "great" reporting really is
these people always want to present to the world >> the "essence" of respect, tolerance, open-mindedness, empathy, understanding and interpersonal connections >> whether it be about a highly developed nation or an underdeveloped one
"yes, let's build bridges, not burn them ..."
@nzsl368 let's
Thailand is safer than the Philippines? Check the 2024 Law and Order Index published by GALLUP Inc., a US analytics firm basef in Washinton. More than 100 are listed there from the most peaceful to the least peaceful country. In that 2024 Law and Order Index, Philippines is much safer than Thailand which is in the bottom half of the list
Regarding food. According to a WHO report, among the 10 Southeast asian countries, Thailand is the second most obese country after Malaysia. According to WHO, obesity is related to junk food. What that does mean? People in Thailand are eating junk food. These organizations (Gallup and WHO) are highly reputable organizations
Not all Thailand area is safe my freind in her partner robbed by bad people taking all there things dont say that Thailand is safe think your wrong some people in counter bad things in there👎👎👎
can you tell about Islam and Halal food in the Philippines.?
There isn't much. You have to look it up
Philippines very much european and American influenced
"Tranitional"
Food not great? WTF?
the whole world knows that Filipinas make in general the best GF and Wife
first guy is so dramatic 😆 ..lolo niyo dapat pabalikin sa indonesia 🤣
WHEN YOU MARRY PILIPINA, YOU MUST BE RESPONSIBLE,, DO NOT LEAVE WOMEN OF PRENANCY AND CHILD IS MESIRABLE,,, BECAUSE PILIPINA WILL RAISE HER CHILD UP
ALONE,, THE SAME WAY IN GERMANY MANY PREGNANCY,, THAT SITUATION ARE EVERYWHERE.. CHOSE VERY TRUSTFUL PILIPINA THEN YOU WILL NEVER REGRET.
It's great you're experimenting with video style but your generic cut scenes really ruin the flow. If you're interested in adding content I can recommend using stats and logos, map points, etc pertaining to the discussion.
You can just layer it on the interview video rather than harshly cutting away
if you buy farm lot contack me
Thailand is not safe also the food is lots of all sugar most of that
Not sugar .msg
@@richardunica3542The Philippines use tons of MSG
Thailand Is Still better in all categories of food and healthy by life expectancy. Most of Filipinos are fat as their food . 😂
Every countries in this world are not 100% saved and you can choose to traveling to the place that more save. But how come Thailand has tourist arrivals amounted to around 28.15 million, Thailand is the 8th most popular tourist destination in the world..
@@Rodderz1 Exercise increased caution to the Philippines due to crime, terrorism, civil unrest, and kidnapping. Some areas have increased risk. Read the entire Travel Advisory.( from google) why?
It's embedded in your wallet🤔🤔🤣
When I watch your vlog It seems that the women in the US took over because so many men ran away to South East Asia... 😂
The women in the US have become so woke.
Miss Universe Philippines is 1/2 Black and Filipino. She won the other day to represent the Philippines in Miss Universe. ❤❤
It's not actually safe here in PH that's why when it comes to expats they always recommend BGC Makati even celebrities they prefer Makati BGC BGC Makati no other than Makati BGC.
Manila urbanite spotted. It seems like your life only revolves around Metro Manila and thus gives you the perception that that filthy region represents the entire country. I grew up in a populated major city in the province and I have never encountered any crime in my 3 decades of living here.
Don't sugarcoat. @@apinezstats2237
U try to come..
when i was in elementary, 2 of my girl classmates volunteered to clean our parish priest room every week. that's a common gesture here in the Philippines, of just caring, cleanliness is next to Godliness. me and my friends when 1 of our friends transfer to a house or built a sarisari store we always get together and clean up and paint and put up shelves and what not. assuming our actions is some form of love scam is seriously f'd up! we been doing it to our fellow filipino friends and family way way before foreigners came! seriously! that's F'd up!
Cleanliness? Have you walked down any street? There's filth EVERYWHERE.
@@schoemannh ofcourse my horse! the american and european and chinese heavily influenced cities? it's repugnant! i'm talking about the real Philippines u mofos didn't got influenced though, but i do enjoy the dirty areas and the clean areas for different reasons. half the time i enjoy the clear Philippine night skies full of stars with the smell of freshly cut grass, half the time i like mingling with the product of western society and watch you people watching your steps, me from the dark alley, i watch you with your young wives having a laugh thinking it was cute tiptoeing the brackish puddles while your face is wtf i got into for a young filipina pussy!
@@schoemannh ofcourse my horse! it's repugnant i love it! half the time i enjoy the american, european and chinese heavily influenced cities of this country, half the time i love the pre colonial rural Philippines skies full of stars, scent of freshly cut grass Philippine night skies! for different reasons. i go to the rurals not a sight of white people and chinese a$$holes! i go to the dirty dark alleys in metro manila and watch you people tiptoeing in the turbid puddles with your young filipinas laughing thingking it was cute and you people's faces be like WTF i got my self into for a young filipina pu$$y! wow! talk about physical cleanliness and spiritual cleanliness not always an effective result of each other! hahaha!

everywhere is safe in thailand? funny hahhahaha, the weed people there want to get my money because im drunk, luckily i still know what im doing
So you're saying that Thailand isn't safe everywhere. Thanks for your brilliant observation based on your drunken experience at a weed shop. I'm sure that tourism will come😂to a complete stop once your incredible story goes viral.
@@lkabong5529 i didnt go at a weed shop lol, im just walking, and when they approached me i can literally smell the weeds,
weed is legal in thailand, thats why i encounter that kind of people, im not saying all people who smoke weeds are bad.
@@awooooooooooo7921Check on crimes rate by country the Philippines always the bottom every years. Better see about jail documentary in the Philippines 😮
