Hii! I just saw this video and I learned that you studied college at San Agustin. I also graduated there and I can tell that it is now very progressive. Also, inviting you for 120th grand alumni next year;))
My mom is African American my dad is Filipino grew up in New York City Brooklyn NY my dad cooked Filipino food all the time so when my friends would come over my house dad is eating with his hands and I used to get embarrassed but now I'm 34yrs old I eat with my hands when eating Filipino food. My kids are following suit I just love it.
Eating with the hands just hits different! ☺️
how cool! I’m also a follower of Happiness Boms. I’d love to try her food business. I hope a Nigerian restaurant can open in the Philippines some day 🇳🇬
Her food is a definite recommend and you can order through IG ☺️
You're right. The difference why a place is more hospitable is that the place is not like Manila and suburban cities where people or neighbors came also from different places who really don't have the time for socializing. While in rural areas, most of the people know each other because they were born there, many are relatives, and they know each other.
Staring at foreigners here is purely extending a wish for them that they be happy here today and tomorrow.
Actually there’s a documentary I don’t remember if its from GMA 7 about the food “bicol express” and according to the docu bicol express originated somewhere in manila in one of the train station, a vendor who’s selling like take out food for the people who’s riding the train going to bicol because in the early years the train only travels fom bulacan to bicol and it takes hours for that travel and this lady only sells like hard boiled egg and some sandwiches and some basic rice and ulam and then she cooked this dish with coconut milk chillies and some pork fat and a lot of bagoong over rice and people liked it and they’re asking the lady what’s the name of the dish and someone suggested bicol express because of the train and the people who patronize the food is going to bicol via the train thats how the bicol express dish got its name well according to the documentary 😊
Very interesting!! Thanks for sharing!! It’s definitely a mystery 🤔
Bicol Express is an old Manila Train Line to Bicol based on google.
Thank you for doing this podcast, its very informative, enlightening, useful & entertaining❤
Thank you so much ☺️
I'm from Bicol, normally we don't cook Bicol express with so much meat. For us Bicol Express is a dish made of chilies, with a very little amount of meat (beef fat was popular before). We also add some "balaw" and "dinailan/ shrimp paste" (the Bicolano bagoong) to the dish, and normally we simmer and we wait for the coconut cream to become so oily.
Authentic Bicol express is purely chillies and shrimp paste cooked in coconut milk….no meat at all.
Great guest . Congratulations to the awesome , articulate young hosts ( Liz , Becca ,Chase) for the growth of your channel. Btw , are the 3 of you still studying or working ?
Thank you so much! The three of us are all working ☺️

Thank you for the kind words about us Ilonggos, life here in Iloilo City is very peaceful, clean air, clean sorroundings, but very progressive, come back & see for yourselves 🥰
I agree!! Definitely loved growing up in Iloilo!

It’s everywhere! I live in London for 23 years now and I never know the names of my neighbour. We never talk but say hi whenever we meet outside our apartments.
But outside London (country side) people are more friendly.

This one is a solid commentary.. well done guys..
Thank you ❤️
Watching Sacramento California USA 🇺🇸
I enjoyed watching you guys
Glad you enjoyed!! Thank you so much for watching 😄
Wow nice
Thanks ☺️☺️
Filipino foods always have sugar in it because there's a lot of sugar in this country specially in Iloilo and Negros provinces.
That’s a good point! ☺️
hehehe funny, but true that filipinos loved food mostly with sugar like fish fellet, ofcourse sweet and sour, but not totally sweet but blended with sweet and sour and salt for the perfect taste💜💜💜
@@noemidelacruz8616 truly haha ☺️
new subs here, i like this blog of yours❤

No wonder when she said San Agustin i thought of Iloilo. Hehe

Me I’m Also Half Filipino And Half Afro American 🇺🇸
Hey there! 🙋🏿♀️
Yeah someone told me that too, the dish called bicol express was actually first made in manila! But the thing is.. the person who made it or invented it first was actually a bicolano.. and so just to recognize his heritage they all agree they should called it bicol express!
Thanks for the fun fact!! ☺️😀
I hope you guest Jessica Lee, Jino Bae and Kulas or Becoming Filipino
Hopefully we’ll get all of them soon hehe
i love you guys
We love you too po hehe
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Some one living the railway was cooking some meat he puts some bagoong in it... then coconut milk and it taste good sooo people was asking what is the name of the dish... he could not think of a name...then suddenly the train to bicol pass by! thus BIcol Express hahaha
Hahaha, that would have been a cool origin story 😅😂
Filipinos say “a day without rice is like a day without sunshine.”
Relate much 😂
I'm a Filipino and I don't like my food specially the main dish to be sweet except the Filipino spaghetti...when I cook main dishes I don't put sugar, before as far as I can remember Filipinos do not use sugar in cooking ulam I think it is only when there was an issue about MSG that it said not healthy to use so I think some started using sugar in exchange of MSG to make savory food.
Making food at home is the best way to have it fit your taste 😀 thanks for sharing ☺️
Read about how the MSG scare was started as a discriminatory and racist backlash against Chinese restaurants. Glutamic acid is a natural ingredient of the human body and is found naturally in foods so adding it to culinary dishes is not harmful. Same thing now with the scaremongering against sugar. Don't be caught in the media hype but do deeper reasearch.
Sugar became an indiscriminate practice with the rise of sugar industry here...
So how does the wine you are drinking pair with the food? ;)
It’s actually a great pair!
Ang lalaki ng lalagyan ng pagkain hehehe
Hahah sorry na 😂
Hmmmmm. We still wanna hear his mom’s side of the story why she chose her son to grow up like he is. I (We) wanna hear her speak.
You're beautiful guys....
😊 thank you
🍺!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Ok 🫶🫶🫶
The reason the government doing not to let students with visas to work is because it is a worldwide thingy and its a law we filipinos adapted it from the western countries. If those countries letting the visas students allowed to have work while studying probably the Philippines government will adopt it as well.
dude in the US and Canada student visa holders are eligible to work, under certain circumstances. employment opportunities are available on-campus and off-campus esp the work is related to your studies that can form part of your practical training. a bit limited but still, you can earn money.
@@onepab01 ha ganon ba so i am wrong sa Japan kasi hindi pwede eh
@@onepab01 my bad
Student visas in UK, Oz, True North and US allow po work pero limited working hours.
in the concrete jungle you are fix on your traget / objective hustling is paramount ... while in ilo ilo it's second smell the flowers air sun coffee firsts
Maganda ung nsa sofa..
Sin o jan? 😅😂
Tama ibat ibang places or provinces ibat ibang culture Lalo na sa pag kain.. for example kami na mga taga bicolanos mas gusto Namin Ang spicy 🔥🔥 bicolano don't like sweet dishes.
We need to visit Bicol 😂🌶️
No Government will let a student on a student visa work...that's Globally standard you need to have a working visa just as a tourist visa cannot work of course you can online or sideline work but generally you cant...and one government cannot bend rules just because one requested to be exempted and that's unfair to Filipinos who follow that rule in Nigeria as well 😎
There are some countries that allow that, like in Australia, especially mostly European countries, in Germany it is even encouraged ☺️ but I understand how and why other Governments don’t allow that hehe
dude, in the US and Canada student visa holders are eligible to work, under certain circumstances, of course. a bit limited but the government allows you to earn money.
Liz is so da*n gorgeous 😍
Thank you po 🥺❤️
Next topic: DATING A FILIPINA or FILIPINO 🤭
Stay tuned!!! 🤭
I think foreigners cannot work in the Philippines because there are many filipinos who need work and cannot get a job. That's why the govt needs to prioritize hiring filipinos first. Just like in other country like Canada, the company is only allowed to hire foreign wokers if the job cannot be filled with locals.
There are foreigners working here but it is the foreign company in the philippines that relocate them to work in the philippines.
that's a disgusting comment.
@@majorianus8055 thats the reality
Thanks!
Thank you so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️
