- FILIPINOS ARE CHATTY! đ”đ
Filipinos love to chat, which makes solo travel in the Philippines much more enjoyable! The Filipinos in the Philippines speak English extremely well, which makes traveling around the Philippines much easier for tourists. Filipinos are known for being some of the most welcoming people in the world.

Thanks for watching!!
I just got back from Manila and I had no cash when I was at the airport. I went to a fast food place in the baggage checkin area only to find they didnât take credit cards. A Filipina saw that I couldnât buy a burger and insisted that she buy me a burger. What a nice country and wonderful people.
no matter how hard the life of Filipinos is. when you go to their house, even if they are poor, they will let you use their most special blanket. which they don't use and only for special guests. Thatâs how we follow the culture of our country. Enjoy it.
@@atonibaichannel4468 Yes, really...
@@takeitorleaveit7510 very well said,I did that with our guest before.
@TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT yes I remember my mom she always have a things for visutors like blanket.
I agree. all beautiful plates, spoon and glasses are taken out from display cabinet when we have visitors- foreign or locals. Special food are being served. we want our visitors to feel special.
When it comes to Filipino conversation, there are no boundaries. They are always friendly with strangers or newcomers. They want a newcomer to feel at home. Very unique to Filipinos culture.
completely agree!
Man, please upload longer videos or multiple videos in a day. We love watching you interacting with locals.
Iâll make some longer ones soon! The next one might be long actually !
Yeah, Thanks man!
@Edison Cordis yes I also watch Ken and Mergim regularly.
More videos please â€
Our locals are funny too.
As a Filipino living in a foreign country, I can really feel how friendly, warm, and hospitable our culture is. Our country may not be as perfect or as wealthy as other countries, but I am immensely proud to be a Filipino for being so hospitable, warm, and resilient in the face of any challenges which we might encounter.
I adore my native Philippines and its people.
Mabuhay ang mga Pilipino at mabuhay ang Philippines!
The Philippines is the best place where you can be alone if you want and if you are alone, you will never feel lonely because we are the friendliest people in the planet. I assure you that. Have a good day Jonathan. đđđ
It's very true! I chat with locals every day here, which really does make it feel like I'm not alone
I'd have to agree. I love it there. I was there 3 months and I really want to live in Tarlac city. We traveled everywhere while I was there. We even spent 2 weeks in Boracay. Paradise
Filipinos are not only hospitable. We treat every person we meet as part of our family foreigner or other Filipinos. And even if some are not good in speaking English, we will do our best to make you feel welcome wherever you are from. đđ
@@mariebethsison9648 that's so true. My Filipinas family made me feel like part of the family the first day I met them. I love my mother in law. We take care of mama and make sure she has money for bingo đ đ€Ł đ
@@miketurpin4959 I am so happy that you felt part of the family immediately. That is the number 1 trait of Filipinos. Make you feel that you are parts of our lives immediately. đ
Lived a third of my life facing the sea. I know what you meant when you mentioned early mornings on the shoreline. The peace and tranquility really makes one smile.
Thereâs just something about it⊠itâs a little break from the stresses of the world. As you said, peace and tranquility!
I got ya too.
Have a good day Jonathan, we Filipinos are chatty just want to start and engage a conversation specially a tourist like you. Its just normal here a friendly people. If you have some problems dont hesitate to ask they are mostly willing to help. Enjoy your stay here and stay safe.
Thank you so much! And I love chatting with and meeting the locals!
Thatâs why I love your videos, I like how you communicate all the people.
I'm a sunrise person too. It is peaceful. And people are different during sunrise, they're more calm. It's nice to hear a "maayong buntag" during sunrise.
Yeahhh Itâs the best time of day!!
You are right Sir, we love chatting and we really friendly, thanks for sharing this great videos.. more more great videos in the Philippines
I love how Filipinos are so welcoming & willing to chat & give helpful advice.đ„°
Thank you, Jonathan, for your down-to-earth and unassuming way of bringing our country and the smiles of our people miles away into our homes and closer to our hearts. âIngat lang.â/Take good care, from California.
We love you,Jonathan!
Kindness begets kindness
So good to see the Filipino's enjoying themselves again. Such friendly people.
Sorry sir but its filipino's not phillipino's
Phillipines is our nation
Filipino it means the local lives
Pilipino its our language
Thanks for sharing your amazing video
Your personality and demeanor fits well with your online vlogging journey in The Philippines. Thank you for promoting the other beauty of the country, Her people and the culture.
Hi Jonathan, I really appreciate your presence in the Philippines and recognizing our country as your prospective place to stay. I hope you will continue to have an open mind while staying the country coz not all are always a bed of roses. It would be nice you keep in touch with other famous foreign vloggers now based in the Philippines like Kulas of Becoming Filipino and etc. Keep that positive vibe on you and Filipinos will love you more
Sure looks fun talking to everyone! Lots of pretty girls to chat with LOL. I love your style of cutting in the video to narrate what you are thinking.
Hello friend, first of all congratulations for your publications. Fantastic indeed, they have been very useful for me, as I intend to travel from Portugal to spend a month in the Philippines. From what I see I think I'm going to like it a lot. Everything going well for you.
Yeah man. We just like to be social and share our joy. Most of America doesn't wanna talk about having a good time that doesn't involve drugs or spending money, at least in my area haha. Lovely people there. Mindblowingly better people.
Thatâs one reason I live here an not there! Many American conversations revolve around politics also
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL Man I wish you the best life ever. I know you're already having a great time. I wanna come out there too.
Enjoy your staying here.. welcome to the Philippines sir
Jonathan, your friendly smilies and approachable personality exude kind energy for Filipinos of all ages to embrace & welcome your company as one of their own. Filipinos are innately kind, friendly & hospitable people but you too, must recognize you brought out the good/best in them. Give yourself credit too.
haha thank you! I am probably more approachable since I'm chatty myself. I definitely don't do this in every country I visit, though. Locals here really are more approachable
I totally agree. Your smile makes us feel that you are welcoming us in your life as well. Welcome to the family Jonathan. đ
Agreed. Jonathan smiles a lot.
G'day Jono. I always enjoy your videos. I've lived in Cebu City for almost six years now, and I'd love to travel around more but I work full-time here. Keep the videos coming, mate.
Your vlogs are all entertaining..:-) Cannot help smiling while watching..keep it up Jonathan.
Jonathan a low key vlogger love that attitude amazingđ
Its a good sign that you are staying here for good. đ You are being chatty now too đ Enjoy Jonathan
đ itâs contagious!
Welcome to the philippines..! Enjoy your day and have fun đđđ”đđ”đđ”đ
Stay safe..enjoy
Keep safe sir your rigth travel alone its great you move easy wire you are to visit any place love waching your videoâ€ïž
Hi Jonathan, what a great video of your interactions with the Filipino locals. With your popularity, you may get hired by a promotional company to promote the Philippines as a travel destination. Along with all of the beautiful landscape and beach areas it is always a highlight to see and hear your interactions with the local people. Congratulations on coming up on 55,000 subs.
Hi Ben! Thanks! I donât even know about these promotional companies, actually. I imagine theyâd reach out to me if interested! Thanks for watching as always!
thank you for appreciating us filipinos and the culture. it's more fun in the philippines.
Man your vlog is very uplifting, lots of positive vibes, great for humanity, live day by day and you'll enjoy The land of pearl of the Orientđ
thanks for saying that!! I really appreciate it!
You're becoming a Filipino now, so chatty! đđ„°. safe travel ! đȘ.
thank you! How are the kittens? I'm still here
they are doing so much better đ, so spoiled by their mom đââïž âșïž
an american is becoming filipino..đ
Ampinge sila dai đ»đ»
@@LoneWolf-oi4yx Always and always ma'am/sir đ„° . we're doing the best we can for Sassy and Nana âșïž, na spoiled sa ilang papa ug mama đ ..
That's so true Jonathan, when I was travelling alone, I always met so many people from all over the world. Totally different from when travelling with someone.
Jonathan you're cool interacting with locals. Some may be jokers but it's all fun in the Philippines.
Haha, yeah! Theyâre just having a good time!
I enjoyed watching your channel. from San Diego California
As I was surfing the CZcams Chanel on living in the Philippines, I came across your channel and I was impress on how you speak great things about the country. I have you to thank to make me realize how much I am missing since I left the country in the early 70âs.
It is bitter sweet for me to depart the US for the Philippines to find my retirement home. Leaving behind my two adult children and grand children.
I wish you great success on your CZcams Channel and I will continue to follow you.
Dude, I hear you. Iâm also a solo traveler for the same đreasons you mentioned. Iâm going to three central Asian countries next week and Iâm excited!
Nice! Which countries?
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL Kazakstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. More power to your vlog! Youâre doing a great job being adventurous and open-minded.
Thank you very much for this! There are a lot of places you can explore here in the Philippinesđ
Been watching your vlogs, and I enjoy your island adventures! My father and Uncle, both are American Citizens retired back in the philippines. I have not seen my dad in 3 years because of the pandemic, and will see him in 3 weeks. Your vlogs is making me more excited. My dad lives in Pateros near the BGC area but we will also be visiting my uncle who owns a house in panglao overlooking the ocean. Keep making your vlogs. Thank you. btw I'm based in the south. My son moved to NOLA, because he's a musician and my daughter is a ship pipe fitter in Gulfport, so we moved to the South.... small world...Alabama is about 10 exits away from us.
Oh wow thank you for sharing your story!! Thatâs awesome that you finally get to see him after so long! Thereâs so much to be excited about for your trip here!! Iâm sure youâll love your trip here!
Thank you so much
Interesting as always Brother, Peace.
Wherever you are in the Philippines you will always have those people who will chat with you at any given time. Fact: Less toxic country with so much good vibes going on. And from all walks of life people here can speak English so keep rollin and keep safe Mabuhay
Luck Jonathan Iâm addicted to watching your adventures I like to see more keep uploading them cause I enjoy everyone with my coffee and my doughnut
I'm so happy you're having a great time in my home country. One other thing that us Pinoys do is laugh and joke and we make lots of pun type jokes and play on words as well. We're funny. Lol. Happy trails cheers
Another Amazing video Jonthan, everywhere you go you attract people, the funny part in the video is when you meet those family or group people by the beach, you mention to that guy that Filipinos are the most hospitable people in the Word, but it was lost in translation. He thought you said he went to the hospital, hahaha that was the funny part about it.. Enjoy and have fun in the Philippines Jonathan..Philippines Joathanđ”đ âșđ đ đŽ â„.
Nice vlog đ đ awsome travel đđ someday đ đ I can use a tour guide đ
The Philippines is a place to socialize anytime and anywhere. Yes Jonathan I love the sunrise, cool wind and quite. Early morning sun is so beautiful too. Enjoy your holiday. Best to stay in Visayan area. Central to all Regions.
I actually do always end up in Visaya, so I've actually started learning more Bisaya than Tagalog. And that's true, the central location is great!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL Cebu being the big city in the central Visayas has better hospital facilities, cheaper to travel any regions may it be Luzon or Mindanao or itâs neighbors as centrally located. If you stay in Luzon traveling to Mindanao is much farther. Cebu is a smaller island than Manila but it has everything within hrs, beaches, mountains, cities, faster to mingle with provincial people.
Great vid
Thank you!
Love your vlogs!đ„° Stay safe Jonathan!
Thank you! I love your name! đ
You made my day Jonathan thank you for these vidz
Comments like this make MY day hearing that you enjoy my videos!!
Good luck on your adventures! Try visiting Palawan next time. Stay safe and keep the positive energy! Mabuhay đ
Keep safe!!
Hahhah!katawa si kuya....hospitality gonawang ospital....at albolaryo lang daw hahahah!!!đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđđđ
This is so true! đ It's a fun video especially the part with the guy named Manny! đ
Hi jonathan more fun in the philippines,đđ
Be safe and be mindful too with your surroundings
Jonathan, love your vlogs. Iâm ok with short or long vlogs - no preference. I think do longer ones if you have time.
Is this my brother Ray?!
Filipinos are the best folks around. The nicest, most welcoming, loving and hospitable people ever xD
Good morning jonathan people will really approach when youre alone here in php have a safe travel.take care and God bless you always.đđđđ
Civilized and happy people!
I'm flying from Vancouver to Cebu tomorrow! Got the one way ticket yesterday and booked a hotel for 2 days only. The rest.... I'll see :) I love to be spontaneous and travel solo! Maybe I'll bump into you somewhere there! You have great videos. Cheers! Zeyn
which Van, Canada or USA?
Like your vids! I'm amazed how friendly and polite you are. Have a safe trip and hope to see you soon. :)
Thank you so much!! Hopefully so!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL I'm not sure with your other viewers but for me it will be great to see longer videos from your channel.
Safe travels.
the people from the provinces are probably much more chatty based on your observation because they pretty much know each other in that area or they know if you are a local or not and so they are naturally interested to know what brings you to their place, while in metro Manila, people come from different places and people are so used to seeing foreigners coming to Manila, but also, people are cautious because you don't really know what type of people you are encountering in Manila, but people in Manila are generally nice, too, and i think you know that by now.
Shout out is nice being solo, in Bohol so Beautiful balik balik ka sa Bohol..Jonathan remember Pilipino is very friendly..hahaha Jonathan they're very funny for hospitalizations đ„ not in the hospital but abolaryo, that Mani is very funny.
Thanks again for the kind words about Filipinos :)
Yeah, i think i said that too before about the pros of traveling alone. You will generally get noticed and approached more by the locals. Plus you yourself are more immersed in the situation and surroundings. But really, you exude a lot of positive vibes too with your ever present smile and charisma. So that's a big factor too. Plus you're very polite and such a gentleman. I think it's because you grew up in a small town (am i right?). Coz city folks in the US tend to be a bit cynical at times (like those 2 American vlogger cousins who i am really not liking, lol).
About ease of communication, that's because English is an official language here, and PH is also the 4th or 5th largest English-speaking country in the world. I actually just watched an interview with an Aussie living here. He's lived in Thailand too for 2 yrs and said the language barrier there can get mentally tiring. And at his age, he said he's just not up to learning a new language anymore. And some people just don't have the knack for it. That's why he greatly appreciates that English here is widely spoken. Plus most everything (signs, documents, etc) is in English which makes life much easier for him. :)
And oh, i prefer sunrise over sunsets too. I guess because it's so symbolic of new beginnings and leaving the mistakes of the past behind. đ
And yeah, me chatty too! LOL
You might be right, I might appear approachable because Iâm also chatty, haha.. whatâs the other American vlogger channel you mentioned? I wouldnât say Iâm from a small town, but Iâm not from a city either. Something in between. My parents taught me manners and to be respectful!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL Yes, you have great parents for teaching you that. I think people from the Bible Belt states are generally more polite and respectful. :)
@@moondustgirl2132 they're socially awkward kids in their 20s, one just out of high school
@@oxoelfoxo Just my personal opinion. I wouldn't have said who they were if Jonathan hadn't asked. But yeah, i don't want to get into an argument. Peace.
True PILIPINO hopitality....is at the best...stay safe here in bohol..love this place so much..
New subscriber here.. Love your videos bro.. Enjoy your stay and thank you for choosing the philippines! I hope you can collab with bret maverick and Kulas "becoming Filipino" they are staying in Cateel they are vloggers too.. God bless and stay safe bro đ
Hi kuya jonathan enjoy and stay fafe always interact to local
Thank you. I will!
Continue to be safe brother
This is a rocket! amazing
a rocket? What do you mean? haha
Halo fren.new subscribers from baguio City I injoy watching ur video hav fan
Thats why i love to travel solo also...
Fun video
The locals were a lot of fun in this one!
Nice one, enjoy and explore so u can decide where to settle down in the Philippines...
Itâs such a difficult decision to make! đ
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL indeed, coz u have to travel 7100 islands before you decide...đđđ
Good luck and be safe!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL I heard Ilo-ilo is one of the best place.
Filipino has full of hospitality to foreign,đ
Loving the sunrise is a morning person. You will see the sky turns red quietly, sometimes with birds chirping đ
I like all your videos đ
Oh thank you!!
Were friendly and helpful..mostly in the provinces area...
yeah, and especially away from the tourist areas!
Hello ne here from Philippines
It's very easy to make friends anywhere in Southeast Asia, but especially the Filipinos. They are very friendly people.
Iâll watch again later!
A second time?! đ
Sunrises!
Yeahhhhh
Lol! I met 2 travellers from NYC just today, I was chatting with them for an hour! Ha ha!
for sure alot of all your friends in US they are jealous, enjoying while travelling and Filipinos gives you warm welcome
I wouldnât be surprised if they were, but hopefully the videos can inspire them to come visit! That was part of the reason I started the channel in the first place, to show friends back home some new ideas of places to visit!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL Hope your family can visit you in the Philippines as well and you could be their tourist guide.
That old guy is funny hahahaha. Filipinos hospitality is the best.
Have a nice day man.
Thank you! You too!
More fun in the Philippines
definitely!
Jonathan, if you ever notice Filipinos laugh around hysterically when you are talking to them, that is because they can't contain their giggle and just laugh at it because they find it funny speaking to a foreigner in English because they are not used to it. It's not like they are mocking or making fun of you, they just find it funny and please don't look at it as offensive. It's like our natural reaction to everything unusual is to laugh, and I bet you noticed that every time you talk to some locals. Really looking forward for you to finally find a place to settle in. I also have a suggestion, try to do Fiesta Hunting in Philippines. Not a lot of people is doing that, and the Philippines has fiestas in every city, through out the whole year. Sinulog in Cebu is coming near and I hope you experience it.
January: Sinulog Month (not only in Cebu but also in ilo-ilo as Ati-atihan then Nazareno in Manila)
3rd Sunday of January: SINULOG Grand Mardi Gras
Whole Month of May: Bohol but Starts at May 1: Tagbilaran or just search Fiestas on Bohol there's a schedule there
October: Lansones Fiestival
August: Butuan City
etc etc etc... all I know almost every sunday there's a specific barangay or barrio having fiesta.
And also when our English comes to it's limit we just laugh coz we can't talk anymore đ€Ł
thats Filipino as Jonathan said we are chatty along with that we love to laugh and on top of that we love to sing.. we always welcome guests even we have less but we always keep in our hearts that giving/helping is better than asking (should i say much much better)..
OMG JONATHAN, YOU MET BUNCH OF FILIPINO FRIENDS AROUND . I AM INDEED, HAPPY FOR YOU EASILY MERGING IN PRACTICING A FILIPINO LANGUAGE AND A VERY WARM FRIENDLY COUNTRY .. THAT'S AWESOME. ENJOY TO THE FULLEST JONATHAN IN A SPEAKING ENGLISH COUNTRY, PHILIPPINES. I AM 100% YOU CAN'T BE WRONG WITH YOUR PLANS TO LIVE IN THE PHILIPPINES AS YOUR SECOND HOME. đ„łđ„łđđđ€©
Lami or namit, Delicious bisaya
I love d philippines. Laidback happy
super chill!
you can check Becoming Filipino channel he used to travel alone too here in the Philippines now he already settled in Cateel Davao Oriental, Mindanao, now he have a big circle of family like friends their.. bought a property and of course got a Beautiful Filipina girlfriend
Not all foreiners are treated as such. Your aura and demeanor will dictate how local filipinos will approach and treat you. Rule of thumb is, be friendly and lighthearted.
Yes, Filipinos are chatty and happy people.
yes even your solo traveler in the philippines you will never feel alone everyonre waht to talk
@travelescapes Another short but sweet video, thanks again! đ€
I have noticed that my recent ones have been shorter.. Iâll make some longer ones soon!
@@travelescapesOFFICIALThanks man! If or when you plan to travel to other islands or regions there, I highly recommend the Bicol Region (pronounced Bee-kol)...look up the Mayon Volcanoâ°ïž đ you'll be blown away! I might be biased, but it's my favorite region in all of the Philippinesđ Who knows, you might end up living there somedayđ
New subscriber Po đ
It's true, it is good for solo travelers and you also never go thirsty there ;) even if you don't have any money hahaha some Filipino will always offer you some red horse or emperador ;)
