I like Indians living in the Philippines, they actually adapt to our culture and speak our language. They're respectful and they don't get in trouble.
I like how Filipino with indian ancestry answered...I'm Filipino... love it
indians are so smart,im working here in uae and i have a lot of indian friends,most of them are doctors and engineers.they are also friendly like the filipinos.thats why filos and indians are the closest here because we have a lot of similarities,and also their foods are so delicious,we have a get together every weekend and we cook filipino and indian foods,its like learning from each others culture.
...im a retired merchant sailor and i worked with Indian crew...they are friendly and respectful especially the Sikh and easy to work with👍👏
for our indians friends reading this thank you for being a good tourist here in our country. i live in a place with a lot of indians studying in a university and i notice how polite indians in public places. if you guys experience any discrimination towards my own race i apologize for it.
Shi.t exists everywhere but I have seen race based discrimination doesn't exist in India or Filipines at someone might name call 😂😂 but we do that to our own family members friends so doesn't really have to do with race .
The people from the Indian subcontinent have a long history with us, they gave us Hinduism and Buddhism despite those two philosophies being superceded by Abrahamic religions, we have retained many influences from them. They are always welcome, I have Filipino Indian friends and their family and friendship values are similar to us so it's almost a seamless interaction.
I have a lot of Indian friends. They have been part of our culture since then. Benchod to my Indian brothers
Only legend will get the last line😂😂
Are bc 😂
India 🇮🇳 and its people have been part of our history. During the Philippine Revolution against Spain. There were Indians here that fought for the Philippines. During The 1950’s my Family’s Indian neighbors help sponsor my father to go to college. Indians have always been here in The Philippines. Some people in my Family are also part Indian
Loved To Hear That. Thanks To All The Filipinos For Your Generosity & Kindness Towards Indians
mga bombay😊
Yes I agree they came to our country since AD 900 and taught us to worship Anito and Anitas and pamahiin. They had in graved their cultures in the Philippines
Indians are our Bombai helping our small stores to progress business by lending money. Thank you Indians
One of my favorite tourist here are Indians, very respectful and they actually learn our country, culture and especially our language. Most of the Indian-Filipino that I've meet on the internet and real life speak fluent Filipino. Whenever I see an Indian in the most isolated islands where it's not a touristy area, it makes my heart happy that they're living their life here in the Philippines like a normal Filipinos do.
Awesome!!
my impressions on Indians they easily integrate into our culture like learning our language without losing their culture
Indians, Koreans and other Asians countries who now lives in the Philippines except the CHINESE who engaged in drug dealings/drug lords, shabu producers, illegal gambling, hoarders and other illegal activities, you name it. They are the worst offenders in the Philippines. We should treat them differently not being nice to them.
Southeast Asian countries like the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia have a lot more in common with our Indian culture, tradition and values than China, Japan or South Korea.
That's why I like these countries a lot more than others. Indians always have huge respect for any country that stays true to its roots and its culture as opposed to countries that are westernising day by day. Which is why we like countries from Africa and SEA.
PS: the girls are very very very cute in South East Asia.🥰
They're probably interested after noticing many things inherited from Ancient Indian culture albeit not as obvious at times, just like most Southeast Asian nations.
Indians really work well with filipinos. Indians are well behave foreiners in philippines. Thats why filipinos love them. Respectful people.
I meet a lot of Indians in the Philippines, i love that they are family oriented like us. They're also respectful and kind.
Most of them are actually sexual predator sex pests.
We love you too. 😊
Indian tourists are way better than East Asians. They're respectful and knows how to adapt other culture just like Filipinos. Indians are always welcome here in the PH.
One reason could be that East Asian countries are largely homogenous, unlike India which is known for diversity. People who are exposed to diversity from a very young age find it easier to adjust in a new environment.
Cheers 🥂 from India 🇮🇳
Thanks For Your Generosity
Dude many of those Indians are sexual predator pests!
@@daredevil30000 Nah that's not it my friend. They look at us like we are dirts just bcs of our skin color. I love it when they experience racism in the US
@@milagrosalfonso2501 karma
Bro
I have friend also from india but here in singapore ...indian is so kind ...and hamble ..im a filipina im happy to have friend like them😊
Indians are respectful to our culture compared to other foreighners who are visiting Philippines.
Both are slum countries that’s why, slum to slum respect
@@TheOnlyTruthTalker You sound ignorant.
Especially the 5 6 Indians who loan shark illegally 😅
You get respect when you give respect! I've been living here 10 yrs with out a single problem/issue.
On behalf of, oh wait, I can't say sorry for others, but indeed, I know some people are just ****, having said that, you guys are amazing and awesome 😊 we focus on the good and forget the negative, we can't change it, so smile and be happy with what is now and you know, I'm sure you know, those who hate on you, are just sad lonely and miserable people, not worth our time 🥳❤️🙏
The worse people we have in the Philippines are Chinese, 100% true, they engaged in almost all illegal activities like shipping drugs to our country, they produce drugs for distribution to our people, they engaged in kidnappings, killings and illegal gambling. They should be ban from our country. They are really bad people, even in America because of their aggressive behavior they are beaten up and discriminated. I’m sure anywhere they go they have problems with them.
I know many Indian Filipinos in Canada. They can speak 100% Filipino, eat filipino food, and for the most part hanging out only with mostly filipino crowds. So I say they are no different than native Filipinos even when they are not in the Philippines.
Interesting Thank you for sharing
What? No connections to India? They can’t just forget their roots
There are so many Indians in the Philippines so its not surprising to hear that. Maybe 2nd generarion who were born and grew up in the Phil.
Longstanding Mayor of Manila is the late Ramon Bagatsing. He's of Indian ancestry. Lots of Indians brought by the Brits, decided to settle in Cainta, a town in the province of Rizal. That's why lots of Indian looking Filipinos are ubiquitous there.
It is nice to see an Indian restaurant in my neighborhood. I love Indian food samosa in particular. Mabuhay ! we welcome Indians in the Philippines.
my favorite is chicken masala
So nice
That's Great That You Liked Samosa
Try *Biryani* once.
I have an Indian friend that I consider as a younger brother. A very nice and family oriented guy
I greatly appreciate the Indians here in the philippines, they are the few who actually try and integrate into our culture and also make an effort to learn the language. They are the best! 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
I seen a lot of indian here in the laguna and my aunt from my grandmother's side is half indian and filipina but she look more indian because of her exotic beauty than her siblings.
Interesting!
Since i was a kid I’ve seen a lot of indian in Philippines.. that was early 70s .. Indian people are friendly & kind🌏❤️🇵🇭
I had worked in KSA for 24 years. Most of my co-employees are from India. Indians are very nice people and friendly. They know how to speak our Tagalog language. 😊😊😊
KSA-=racist country of grunts notorious & known in Europe for ill treatment & indifference for other people.
Cebu is like a Little India, specially in Banilad. I started to like Cebu right now coz this Province is very Diverse. I've met, interact and work with Indians, Koreans, Japanese, Vietnamese, Arabs, Chinese, Thai, Indonesians, Russians, Kazaks, Papuans, Germans, Swedish, Norwegians, and Nigerians. and other Nationalities.
I'm Thankful of these Countries coz they now have Embassies here in Cebu, direct and connecting flights from their respected Countries.
God Bless!
Do you know if there are Indian Homeopathic Doctors in Cebu ?
I'm in early 70s , I still recall when I was young so may Indians are living here in manila and different places in Luzon. We treated them just like our own brother and sister. We respect their religion and beliefs.. they are very kind.. love indians..❤❤❤🇵🇭
The word bai that some provinces use in their language is originated from india, the word bhai means brother..it is an evidence of our long time good relationship of our ancestors between indians
I have an Indian friend he's so kind and so respectful person like me😅 and we supporting each other like helping and caring even we're not known as a person, but we're still friendly and so kindness❤❤ that's why I love India. (This is my message to Indians😊❤, iloveyou Indians,🥺❤️ from ph🇵🇭)
Of all the nationalities that I have met,, indians are the best. Why? Because they have a big respect to their culture and relationship (family, relatives, friends, other people) they are not greedy compared to filipino
Two of my best buddies in my primary school were Indian nationals. We've been companions for the entire school year when we were in the 6th grade. After more than a decade, it's nice to see one of them working around my workplace. The closeness was still there! It shows that we had a good childhood in school! Hope that my kids will have Indian friends as well when they grow up.
Very cool interviews Alex students studying here for Medicine. The last person you interview gave the best answer He was born here in the Philippines with an Indian background very cool. I would agree Philippines is very safe for the most part 🆒🆒👍👍😎😎
Well said
I agree. It was interesting to hear they are all here for medical school?
Filipinos and indians are just same.Very warm and friemdly people.
Indeed
Im a Filipino and most of my friends are Indians
I like Indians very attractive people.❤
😊🥳
Thanks, Dear For Your Compliment
Hehe thanks ❤
Nice to listen to Indians living in philippines. What I know is, philippines offers some 5000 seats annually to Indian students for studying medicine.
Oh so cool. That's interesting
Both are slum countries 🤮 both countries working together to make slum doctors
Wooow thats news for me, in Holland that’s allso happened ;
indians have been in the phils for decades just like the chinese, they were businessmen n settled in the phils. thereis a big community in manila. what surprising for me are the medical students, i can see there are quite a number of them.
Not decades but centuries. The first official record of Indians settling in the Philippines was during the British Invasion of Manila of 1762 where they used Sepoy armies. Eventually when the British withdrew from the Philippines the Indian Sepoys mutinied and chose to stay in the Philippines. Alot converted to the main religion of the Philippines and eventually absorbed in with the filipino culture. Indian mangos were brought to the Philippines by Indian migrants and traders even before Spanish times beyond recorded history, so we could only theorize anything that was going on before then.
@@rl8571 good on u, 2 centuries.
More on centuries. They were among the first people who brought their culture in this land.(not Philippines yet)
There are a lot of these international students in Las Pinas City in Metro Manila. I don't know if it's the same for other schools especially for the ones in U-Belt.
Indian people there’s no comparison to Chinese people. China men brings all kinds of stuff in the Philippines they transport drugs to our country, they make drugs too, they engage in illegal gambling, kidnappings and killings. Our government should ban all Chinese people coming to our country. They are the worst people we have.
actually some East Indians have lived in the Philippines even before WW2. My father had a close friend who was Indian married to a Filipina. This was way back in 60's & 70's when I was growing up. They had a variety store in the city that my family use to visit to purchased some items from their store. There is also a huge community of East Indians living in Manila with their own Temple.
Indians have lived in the Philippines for thousands of years. Lots of Filipinos have Indian DNA
That's so interesting
Thank you for sharing 😊
@@minim6981I am living proof HAHAHA my ex said that I look like Indian and my Indian friends my last name is Indian last name
@@aileenrawat2413Rawat is as Indian as it gets😂😂
I've met many Indians during my travels in the Philippines. They have always been very friendly and seem like quite upstanding visitors. We always get along very well 😊❤
I like you interviewing foreigners and even foreigners born in the Philippines !
Glad you enjoyed the video 😊
Indian peoples are very friendly also like pilipino..i love indian 🇮🇳 peoples
I have been working with Indian nationals here in middle east. They also give and shared biryani which I liked most... Welcome to the Philippines che chi and cheta... 😊
We have a lot of Indian neighbors here in my area. They are usually very respectful and very adaptive, to the point that they speak our native language. A lot of them are already permanent residents here.
Anytime you see Indian teenagers in a foreign country they are usually in university studying to be a medical doctor. All the best guys
Thank you for liking Philippines..Im in India right now in tamil nadu state and indians also are friendly,humble and simple..Hi! To all indians medical students in UV gullas esp to my neighbor here in India Deepika!
@6:26 I was surprised to learn about a family from our hometown (in Southwestern Philippines) who turned out to be 100% Indian. They not only sounded Filipino but also integrated seamlessly into our community. It was especially interesting to discover one of their daughters became my schoolmate, and I found her as having atypical charming features, until it just clicked after I learned about their Indian heritage. You see, some Pinoys have unique features here and there, be it being Chinito, mestiso, mala-Arabo, etc.😅 I later found out that their great-grandfather was a businessma who ventured here in the Philippines. It's truly fascinating how they've become an integral part of our community, and I initially thought they were just a typical Filipino family.
para sa mga pinoy na nakakabasa neto sana respetuhin niyo ang mga indians sa bansa naten.normal ang ignorance pero hindi ibig sabihin non babastusin niyo na sila. karamihan sa mga indians dito sa bansa naten tahimik nalang sa racism na natatanggap nila sa mga pinoy at base on my experience nung nasa india ako for a few days di ko naramdaman yung racism sa kanila kahit na mejo weird yung pagtitinginan ka nila dahil siguro banyaga ako sa bansa nila which is normal lang sa kanila.
You didn't faced racism because North East Indians look like Filipinos :)
indians actually immerse themselves and embrace filipino culture. i grew up having indian/pakistan classmates and theyre always well off in life and there families mostly own major business in our town. also indians have been constantly trading with filipinos even before the spaniards came. theyre so common in the philippines that i dont consider them as foreigners.
Love From India To All My Good Filipino People :) 💕
I did my bs and md from dmsf davao. Loved Philippines loved davao will always be close to my heart ... Mabuhay pinas ..
they respect our culture and language. thier adaptability is insane, not like other foreigner think they are still entitled
Indian are very nice people i love them ,there are many indians living in the philippines for a long time.
Indian are respectful rather than Chinese !!! I personally encountered both race and personally i could tell the difference , Chinese think they are entitled to be rude to others , Indian are so kind and respectful in our country !
Yeah, Its depend with the girl or their culture. I am a Filipino and had meet some Indian girl, they were friendly. Indian girl and Filipino girl are almost the same in terms of attitude and behavior. Its depend, because as a human being each One of us have a different personality.
I’m Filipina,and I want To bisit Gujarat India,
Where is A Filipino Guy married to A Wonderful Indian Woman,
But They Move Back To UK..
Now they are on Vacation To Ｇｕｊａｒａt…Simple Life and Vegetable Are Fresh And Affordable Compared to Philippines.
I love Spices and Herbs And Simple Lige In Gujarat India.
Wow! Thanks for sharing ☺️
“THE SMARTEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD”!!!🇮🇳
Many Indians here in Philippines are studying medicine.
Indians are very welcome in philippines they are very respectfull to filipinos...
Indian people are some of the kindest and smartest people you'll ever meet in your lifetime.
Thanks, Dear For Your Words Of Kindness
@@vireshsaluja You're welcome it's true!
Indian Tech support would like to disagree.
@@alexanderliew3415 why is that?
@@goddessjihyopark Well if you didn't get the joke nevermind.
Indian is friendly too. I have Indian friends in Kuwiat, Singapore and UAE
10 years in the IT industry and I must say, Indians are the most friendly, down to earth and relatable foreigners in the country. We get along so much. I’m a bit concerned in the food though. Most Indians are vegetarians and knowing Philippines, we don’t have that much options , I feel bad for them hoping Philippines would focus on healthier food options.
Indians are very good people , friendly and honest.
I love there are a lot of indians in the Philippines, i get to enjoy authentic indian foods. They are also smart and very hardworking in their studies.
I live in England but my parents came from Bangladesh years ago so that makes me Asian British Bangladeshi. I've been around Filipinos here in England and I can say to you is the ones I met are caring and hospitable, friendly towards me and others that's why it enable me to like them more! 🥰
Indian people are very nice. I love their food and Same culture also in the philippines like taking care of there parents and siblings i have lots of indian friend here in canada
Very nice indians... actually i feel like filipinos are a fan of foreigners.. they show more love and mostly nice to foreigners.
My colleagues are Indians, I worked in IT industry btw. Theyre great people.
so many indians in Cebu now, not as much as Koreans but they steadily increasing they even set up their own business, I hear they are also many in Davao
yeah in davao many Indians too studying medicine
After 10 years they will be here in the US working as a doctor. Education is really big for them as Filipinos..
Palawan is my favorite so far. I was born in Manila but grew up in California. Philippines is a very diverse country. I try to go back every other year. However, I will eventually retire in the South Philippines.
Hi Alex!...like usual I enjoyed this video.Always fun listening to these interviews.I find that almost all say how friendly Phillippines is. That's a great thing!! Take care my friend!🇨🇦
Glad you enjoyed it Alfred! I too enjoy hearing different peoples thoughts
Affordable medicine studies in the Philippines and english speaking nation is a plus for every foreigners visiting the Philippines
Indians have been around forever. They usually have their own businesses and are quite well off. Had classmates who were of indian ethnicity and lots of Chinese as well.
I'm kind of biased. My father was born in India and has family that are Filipino/indian. Very kind and respectful and business minded. Humorous also. Food is amazing 👏
I love my Indian friends/workmates.
I think you did well with the interviews. Like you said, not scripted and yet you were great in impromptu --- all went smooth.
Thanks for sharing. Great job!
Thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed it
Very nice video! It would be interesting if you could do a longer interview with your last guest who was born in the Philippines 😊
It would be. However, he seemed to be on his way somewhere, so I asked rapid questions 😁
I feel honored whenever Indians study here.
I also feel that Indians are just one of us. Part of our tribe.
Thanks for sharing this video buddy, its pretty good to see some foriegner promoting our humble Philippines. Thank you Thank you So much.
My pleasure!
Indians are smart kind, and religious people.
I'm from Cebu and I thank Indians for bringing more vegetarian food. I try to eat less meat and sometimes if I want more plant based meals with more flavor, I always hit the nearest Indian restaurant here.
Also, I think Indians are one of the unproblematic (most of the time as there are always some bad apples) foreigners in the Philippines.
Am from philippines but my daughter is Punjabi indian❤
Since 2013, I have been a vegetarian living in the Philippines. Whenever I return from traveling abroad, I always prioritize healthier food choices. However, I strongly disagree with the notion that it is difficult to find vegetarian options in my country. Even small kitchenettes and eateries found along the roads sell vegetarian food. Moreover, fancy restaurants often offer a wide range of vegetarian dishes. I am unsure where you obtained the idea that finding vegetarian food is difficult in the Philippines. In fact, even popular malls like SM have vegetarian options in their foodcourts, as per my personal experience.
Everything you said is true. However I have to agree. The Philippines is the least vegetarian friendly country from all the countries visited. Not saying there aren't any options, however when comparing to other nations, I agree with them.
I traveled to the Philippines 🇵🇭 as recent as last year, 2022. That is more of a meat 🍖 eating nation.
Yet, I can easily go vegetarian there, even in the rural areas. I ate at Chinese 🍜 restaurants and asked for modifications. The server approved 👌
I even cooked vegetarian 🍎 🥕 dishes from scratch there. 😋 Example. Curry 🍛, pancit 🍜, vegan halo halo 🍨 .
Yes I agree the vegetarian foods and meats are easyly find in Philippines.
From carinderia to high-end restaurants, there are many veggie dishes you can order. And if you cook at home, specially, it is not hard to be a vegetarian here. All public markets and grocers sell so many different types of vegetables that you can cook according to your taste. From north to south, there is an abundance of locally grown vegetables. And in supermarkets, they even sell imported ones
In terms of food options in karenderia and others, veggies are easily available, I agree with that, but a strict vegan would still have qualms, because we Pinoys still put sahog to our gulay. So I understand their sentiments, since I tried being a strict vegan once, pre-pandemic. We Pinoys just love our meaty sahogs. That's the culprit really 😅
Filipinos they really respect foreigners they look up and treated them as visitors in our country.
There are so many Indians here since 80s-90s...mostly in bussines, like 5/6, and selling anything that you can pay later...with interest of course...they are good people.❤
indians here in the philippines are good they also adjust to culture of the philippines. pilipino also respect them also❤
The relationship between India and the Philippines goes deep into history. It speaks to that shared history by the fact most Filipinos don't know that former Mayor Ramon Bagatsing and former Speaker of the House Ramon Mitra have Indian ancestry. They are Filipinos as far as the Philippines is concerned.
This is why i also respect indian culture
Indians are one of most respectful foreigner in the philippines i like them more than koreans.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts
3:16 great and really professional answers 😂❤
As a kid in the 70s (age 7 or 8), for some reason, we were warned to be wary of East Indians. We see those wearing turbans and we start to shout, 'Bumbay! Bumbay!' as if to sound an alarm of danger. Sounds stupid but we were just stupid kids. We didn't see too many East Indians around so seeing one was unusual.
Thank you for sharing 😊
Isn't it a stereotype? 😢
We were under Indians before.
That's why we get along very well 🤗
The last guy saying contentment is on point. 🎉🎉 to your channel
Thank you!
So many Indians are so smart especially in medicine
😮Alex i like your content...i injoyed everytime you have an interviews...it seems you are patient too injoy Philippines.
Thank you sooo much! I'm glad you enjoyed the interviews, and thank you for sharing your thoughts
The contentment dude, that's so profound fr.
Nice content alex..good job👋
Thank you 👋
I enjoyed ur video much and great concept idea
Thank you 😊 check out my other similar videos!
Great video stay safe always have a great day
The reason why Filipinas are easier to talk to and approach compared to Indians is because there is not much social segregation or social division in the Philippines. Filipinos are also naturally friendly. You can talk to almost everyone.
I remember a travel advice I got when visiting India is to not smile at strangers cause they may see that as flirting. I was so shocked at that advice because in the Philippines, people are smiley. You can smile and be friendly to people including the opposite sex. It is not necessarily flirting lol.
So my advice to some Indian men or men from other conservative cultures (like the muslim countries) if a Filipina smiles at you or talk to you, it doesn't necessarily means she likes you. It's just Filipinos' nature to be friendly and smiley.
I'm from Philippines and seeing Indians here is common. Students, businesses but I myself want to visit India. They can easily visit our country but difficult if we visit there and require Visa lol
Very entertaining interviews Alex.
Hank you! I'm happy ypu enjoyed it 😁
Like how there is a China Town
I would like to see an India Town in the PH
Indians have never done that in any country even though there are some areas in many countries where the majority living there will be Indians.
@@laoxianmodiI don't know much but I believe there's an India town in Malaysia
