- FILIPINO FAMILY INVITES ME FOR LECHON & KARAOKE! | Cebu Philippines
In Cebu, Philippines the friendliest Filipino family invited me into their home for Lechon and karaoke! Filipinos in the Philippines are the nicest people I've met! Cebu, Philippines is of course beautiful, but the Filipinos are what make it! This was my first time eating the famous Philippines Lechon, which was the full roasted pig outside the house! Thank you so much for inviting me into your home!

Thanks for watching!!
This is why I love the Philippines and go back so often, the people are just the friendliest on the planet and so happy it's a joy to be with them.
Thank you for the kind words. You are always welcome here in PH.
@@ronnienestor you’re welcome and thanks. I’m hoping to get back later this year. I miss the place so much and get very excited when I’m going back.
so true... this hospitality is not something you find in most places in the world. Inviting you in just after meeting. So welcoming !
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL It never ceases to amaze me just how friendly, helpful and happy the people are. They always bounce back too no matter what happens to them in life.
Yes! Pilipino families were very good
You have to put it inside of your
Heart🤩😅😆 forever, I love u
I’m in Atlanta Ga ,went to Philippines 7 years ago and the first thing I noticed was how kind Filipinos are.
Bro this is sick, I'm seriously considering cancelling my Brasil trip and booking a flight straight there. I wanna be invited for karaoke!! haha
it's pretty awesome over here man! What's your Brazil plan?
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL planning to head there December and January but your vids are making me wanna change my plans!
@@AKJoel
if you're planning to go here in the Philippines bro, "BER" months (September, October, November & December) are the best time to come. It's literally X'mas here at the start of September.
@@SoloRid3r awesome thanks for the tip mate!
You'll be invited in one for sure, gotta stay longer and bond with the locals, make new frieds, you'll have a blast...BTW if still no one invites you for a karaoke, you can always do karaoke on malls or bars 😆
The family with a birthday girl are very sweet people oh my goodness! They keep smiling and very friendly too. Thats why my husband and I will live in Philippines after retirement.
Great place to retire!! And yes! they were all extremely friendly!
You can rely too if you need help from neighbors.
You are most welcome
Very welcome! ❤
Jay-jay will never forget this video when she's grown up, this will be a part of her best memories
Hahah.. I haven’t even thought that far ahead, but you’re right! She’ll always have this!
I married a Filipina a few years ago and cannot believe how lucky I am to have met an incredible lady. She has shared with me all of these experiences and more (as I’m sure you have experienced too). I cannot wait to retire in the Philippines. As you have said, “I can’t believe you wouldn’t want to live here!” I’m trying to convince my American friends to visit the Philippines, or at least travel abroad. Only 20% of Americans have a passport! And most only use it for Canada, Mexico, or the Caribbean… Sigh… They are missing out on so much!
My wife and I have a CZcams channel as well if you are interested in doing any collaborations. I believe you and I share so many similar noticings and experiences.
Now, back to watching more of your content!
Hey Jonathan, this is Eric, Catherine's brother. It was indeed our pleasure to have you at the party. Catherine will be having a gig on Saturday with her band mates at Smooth cafe located along the road going to Panagsama. Again welcome and enjoy your stay here. More power to your CZcams channel. ✌️
Hey, Eric! It was great to meet you the other day! And once again, thank you so much for inviting me to join you all for the party! The food was delicious, everyone so friendly and welcoming! And I think I will come by for the live music as well! Salamat!
Hello. I was just watching this Video and thought of sending some chocolates to the birthday girl. I'm in UK. If that's possible can you guys suggest how? She's so sweet and you guys are so kind. Your all making me miss my own family which I'll see soon for xmas. This video is so heartwarming. I wish the whole world is like this everyone getting along and having fun. Anyways thank you for the video Jonathan and thank you for the kind family. Blessings to you all! Let me know if I can send some nice pasalubong for Jai-Jai..
@@hopeinhuman7850 you can dm me the birthday girl would be so happy
@@onealmahilum6679 Hi I don't actually know how to 'DM' you also maybe @Ako To can also help. Hope you are all well!
@@hopeinhuman7850 hi. Thank you for you kind words. ❤️
Agreed. In the Philippines you'll randomly get to see nice sceneries, experience the culture, eat the food and meet friendly people everywhere. You'll feel you're welcome.
Very true!!
Sa
I meet aggressive beggars every day. Adults and children. Lovely place. Not! This place kills you slowly.
Been to Philippines and also a local invited us for Karaoke and some drinking and some food like a house party, it was the best party with strangers I've experienced!
Love from Brazil !
sure uie..kabisdak nimog nawng
Hahaha I'm so glad to see you experiencing some of the same things I experienced. And when you show love, you'll get the love back....especially in PH
That’s the authentic Filipino birthday celebration. Everyone in the neighbourhood is invited.
(Miss the Philippines so much).
The host family are nice and wonderful people. ❤️
The birthday girl is so adorable.
Enjoy your time in the Philippines Sir and take care always.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching!! It all felt very authentic! Such a friendly and welcoming family, and of course ChaiChai is so cute!
Thanks mate for coming to my beloved country the philippines enjoy every moment you stay where ever you go in the philippines.. we are filipino loves people from around the world to see the beauty of the Pholippines and you will experience the friendliest people on earth especially the local people from the provinces . Thank you so much for loving our culture and the respect.God Bless you and take care.
The most hospitable, genuine and generous people are not those living in luxurious mansions in first world countries but those living in simple huts or shanties thou impoverished are willing to greet you with a smile and invite you to their homes to share whatever food they have in the table. That is just how genuinely generous and welcoming Filipinos are. Foreigners fall in love with the Philippines because of its people...nature and beach escapes are just a bonus. Filipinos are the country's main treasure. ❤❤❤
very right true correct exact precise and absolute 100% sure 😘👍🇬🇧🇵🇭💖💖💖
So sweet. This video brought a smile to my face. I’m Filipino but was born in the States. I enjoy learning more about my Filipino heritage from your videos. Thank you!
Thank you for saying that! I have Filipino-American family born in the US as well. I’d love to get them over here and show them around/explore with them!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL - I am amazed at how much of the Philippines has changed. It’s been ages since I last visited. I must visit again.
It's so cute to see foreigners roaming around the Philippines like it's their hometown hahaha enjoy your stay here and keep safe 😊😊
I just subscribe your channel, hope to see more videos fr you. Stay safe and have fun.
That was beautiful brother. There’s a Filipino value called ‘pakiki-sama’ - means the ‘ability to mingle/coexist/get along’ . You have that trait and is easily recognized
I love seeing foreign visitors interacting with the locals. And I am glad that my country speaks English.
With filipino we embraced everybody , any race or culture are welcome, as what they said ‘ sharing is loving & loving is caring’ thats our nature. Stay blessed from ireland.
Except for INC ,Mormons and JW members, they wont let anybody inside their homes if they do not share their faith . They dont invite people as well to their gatherings ,since they dont have parties!
@@truthhurtsalways4u theres always exemption to the rules as what they said😀
SHARING is CARING ✌️
Just returned from six weeks in Philippines
This is an exact picture of what happens in the Philippines
Absolutely amazing people
Best wishes from Ireland
Ingat
Embrace everybody? Sure ka? Hehehheh
People like you are truly welcome here. Unfortunately, not all foreigners who come to the Philippines are as nice, friendly, and civilized as you. Some nationalities are the exact opposite of you and manifest atrocious upbringing, terrible manners, and blatant disrespect for our people. Keep safe and thank you for promoting the friendliest country in the world. More power to your vlogs, sir.
As Filipino who was born in the Philippines raised in America I'm glad your the a true pinoy once they leave the Philippines they think we are stupid because were nice our friends in America are African american and whites but this Nigerian and ghana students in nursing Filipinos do not know this because they are saying in CZcams lies and hatred about Filipinos Nigerian and Ghana are not liked in America they are rude and arrogant also koreans are moving to the Philippines they are not our friends in America they think we are garbage to them koreans also are not liked by other cultures in America but there moving to the Philippines for money to exploit the Filipinos majority of the koreans have red light district in the nudy bars were not a perfect race but Filipinos are ignorant of other cultures history has proven it also in hong kong and arabic country
Philippines is my dream destination ❤from Ecuador
I definitely recommend Philippines! I loved baños in Ecuador!
Lechon about P15,000, Beers & Alcohol about P 10,000. Got invited in a Filipino party with Karaoke 🎤, PRICELESS 💚. Btw, I want to meet lechon too🐷😁👌🇵🇭 Birthday girl is so adorable and what an amazing family 😍.
100% agree! This was 10 times better than my original plan of going to the beach alone
I want to visit the Philippines! Such wonderful people there ❤
I was grinning heartily the whole time. That Filipino family is just amazing, a microcosm of the Pinoy family: large and extended, always smiling, fun-loving, welcoming, warm, hospitable, loving, friendly.
That family as You mentioned is the whole Filipino people! I am a Filipino too residing in Europe, I tried to invite my european friends to visit Philippines asking them a round trip plane tickets of their own and I will take the rest in the Philippines unfortunately it's hard for them to believe forbthe reason that I too like them is ordinary employee , they don't know what I can offer to them in my own country that they can never do to me here in europe!!
This is How filipino very friendly and kind. Speak English as will and can travel anywhere in the Philippines
That is Filipino, simple people, happy people, our hospitability uncomparable. PROUD TO BE A PINOY
Entire Philippines 🇵🇭 and all Filipino’s will embrace you with open arms Jonathan…. Greetings from San Diego California 🇺🇸
We pinoys always want our visitors to be comfortable nd happy!!!
It was so kind to invite me!!
The best trait of Filipinos is hospitality! No matter how poor we are , we love to share and feed our friends especially foreigners
very proud of my kababayans(countrymen)hospitality as its best!Salamat bro appreciating our culture!👍
Incredible hospitality!
The family that invited you to party was awesome 🇵🇭💯❤️ love it so much !
Filipino's are so friendly,humble and down to earth...even if they do not know you,,they will still help/invite you up no matter what it takes....hope to see more vlogs of urs here in the Philippines....i hope u can also come and visit here on our City in Mindanao which is called Zamboanga City or Asia's Latin City coz our City/Hometown has a Chavacano Dialect which is a Spanish Based Creole Language/Dialect..Broken Spanish to be in Short...We are also the Capital City of Sardines....we had cool beaches in here too just like the Sta.Cruz Island wherein this Island had Pinky Sand due to the corals that fled to the seashore and is being considered as one of the 21 most beautiful beaches in the whole world....
I just wanna say that we are not just being hospitable to foreigners but also to our fellow countrymen in general. Either inside or outside the Philippines. No country is perfect but this is what makes us standout, genuinely hospitable. And the fact that we can communicate well is very easy for us to spread kindness. Needless to say, it is instilled in every Filipinos’ households. I’m happy and proud to be Filipino.
Sending love from Dubai. Keep safe Jonathan!❤
Love lots🤩proud Filipino here😁😁😁
♥️♥️♥️
Just hit the sub ! Appreciate how down to earth you are and treating us Filipinos or Cebuanos with dignity and respect. You showed up and never turn down the invitation. That was superb !
Thank you so much for the sub!! It’s easy to be respectful when I’ve been treated the same way!
You have just experienced the finest example of Filipino hospitality. Especially in the provinces, those kind of invitations are not unusual if you are a visitor to the area. Being hospitable, kind and friendly has been inculcated in our psyche. I think it was taught to us by our parents and forefathers and encouraged even in school. And you are also very friendly and respectful and the locals felt it, that is why they love you. But beware, visitors, that you don’t abuse that hospitality because the locals can also gang up on you if you turn to be an a-hole. Filipinos are close knit and will defend their own…
Awesome bonding, Filipinos are the most friendly, caring, loving and down to earth people of the world who enjoys even in tough conditions. Hats off to them. Cheers mate. 🙏❤🇵🇭
We find it a grave sin if we don't share food to others, to ANYONE. Food is a blessing that needs to be shared.
The key to attract filipinos is by being happy and smiling.
Those filipino are very kind and they can speak English too, so if i visit Philippines i wouldn't have a problem communicating to local,, +1 subscriber here.
That's why foreigners loved it here, they'll never feel alone even in the most secluded areas. everybody is putting an effort even just to have a simple phrase to be able to respond.
Be happy with the Filipinos that you encounter with. Please treasure the moments, have fun and enjoy it too.
"and this is LECHON! BWA HA HA HA HA"
lol that was hilarious
The "unexpected" sometimes turns out into good or bad and thats what makes the journey fun.
Enjoy your stay here in the Philippines and be safe on your travels!~
100% ... I literally had just finished saying that I'm trying to go to the beach, but I'd be open for an unplanned experience.. three minutes later, I was invited to a 2 year old's birthday party 😂
That's the Filipino vibe everyone is kind and welcoming . Hope you enjoy Cebu
The badjao welcome me with a begging cup all the time. Sometimes. I dance with them as they block my path. I’ve never felt welcome here. I always have to keep my guard up in this hell scape. I’m traumatized already.
I am not surprised about us filipinos, we would give an arm and a leg just to show our appreciation to foreigners we don't even know...This is engrained in our culture...Hope you would stay and continue to promote our country, stay safe...
I was blown away! They invited me over after just meeting me. I'm so grateful for the hospitality! And I have every intention of staying as of now!
Being so hospitable is one of the most admired traits of us Filipinos specially when we see a foreigner it's like we see a celebrity.
right, right 👍🇬🇧🇵🇭💖💖💖
This is raw, authentic Filipino hospitality. Thank you for the awesome vlog! New subscriber here! ❤️
We Filipinos are so friendly, very hospitable and likes to entertain people. God bless us with good attitude in life. Proud Filipino here.
I'm half Filipino, born in America. Most people in America are mean and entitled. I love to meet people with great attitudes, truly beautiful, grateful people. ✌️ Happiness and love is most valuable
Yes but all those qualities automatically go down the drain when you're not humble and brag about it.
I'm a Filipino who came to England 3 months ago to work.. and God.. I mean it when I say I miss my home country so much! thank you for these videos! +like and sub!
Great video dood! Your singing? Uhhhj, great video! Thanks for sharing!
I came across this vlogger for the first time and I instantly liked how genuine he sounded. So there, i hit the subscribe button.
Enjoy your time in the Philippines!
Thank you so much for the sub!!
Same here, I just recently saw his first vlog in the Phils and I liked him a lot…very genuine and down to earth so , I too subscribed .
I really hope that you either wrote down or memorized all those names because there is going to be a quiz later. 😆 Remember bro, when in Philippines, you are not just a guest, YOU ARE FAMILY! 🇵🇭 Enjoy your time here and our hospitality! 👍 Just subscribed!
😂 I'm bad with remembering just one name! Luckily, editing the video helped me study for the name quiz. Thanks for the sub!!
Just forget all their names but not the "lechon"😂😂
Kindness matters to us Filipinos. We may not have much in life compared to other nationalities, but we take pride of our unparallelled hospitality. It is our nature and strength as Filipinos.
You have humbleness, therefore you have everything; that's what really counts in life.
I love your bubbly personality! Remain humble and respectful and the people will love you.
Thank you for saying that!!
Heartwarming! Welcome to the Philippines, man! Enjoy your stay!
Keep exploring philippines cuz the more you explore the more you love..keep watching your vlog❤️❤️❤️🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
More of that experience as long as you stay positive with our locals and keep that conversation going.Hoping for your long "stay-cation" in our country and embracing our culture. Keep it up. Your on your way for 50k subscribers? ,💪💪💪
Hanging out with the locals is the best part! It may even be longer than a stay-cation! We'll see... it's going very well so far! and hopefully so on that 50k!

Great video, that was such a nice Filipino family and Happy second birthday to JJ. That Lechon and the other food looked delicious. Looks like you mad the families day singing Happy Birthday to JJ. The country side is so beautiful there in the Philippines so thanks for sharing your travels and experiences with the locals.
Thank you!! I feel like I got the full experience with this one! It felt 100% Filipino!
Happy to see you enjoy the company, the place and the life we have here. I agree with you that it is so hard to leave places like that. I used to work in the province and fell in love with the life, the people. I was born and bred in Manila and once I lived the kind of lifestyle, pace in the provinces outside of any metro, I was hooked! Happy travels sir!! Enjoy, eat well and stay safe!
Thanks for visiting Philippines hope you have a great travel experience and keep safe always,Welcome to the Philippines,🇵🇭

Hands down Brother 😊We are warm people😊enjoy and stay healthy and stay safe~
I love most this scene with you willingly obliging to the invitation of a typical Filipino family and gamely interacting with them. You are right we love singing; its part of almost every family gathering such as this birthday celebration. What you've got here is a taste of the inherent Filipino hospitality.
This makes me proud of being a Pilipino.💝💝💝🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
What a beautiful video, thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you Jonathan for visiting my beloved country,..I hope you gonna enjoy your stay in the Phils, and enjoy the kindness and hospitality of my fellow Filipinos,..stay safe,..And May God guide you to your journey..thanks
Filipinos are truly hospitable and good singers at that. Hope you enjoy your stay in our country. Keep safe
Jonathan, me and wife enjoy your videos. We really appreciate your approach to highlighting the Filipino spirit. I have been going to the Philippines since 1984 with the Lonely Planet guide book. My wife is a Filipina and said you do an excellent job interacting with the locals. We are also from Alabama. Keep up the good work and take care.
this is awesome! Makes me want to travel to the islands! Keep the videos comin bro!
Love your videos. You are also very genuine and kindhearted. Enjoy more of the country and maybe run into you somewhere. Just moved from the US to Dumaguete (though I’m Filipino) after 21 years there and Moalboal is on my list of places to visit real soon! Be safe and have more fun!
New subscriber here, watching from Riyadh..Thank you for featuring our great country and the most hospitable people.
Enjoy your vacation and keep safe.
Waiting for your more videos..
Thank you so much!! I'm looking forward to making more!
Thank you for being courteous and friendly to the locals... Just keep it up and you won't have any problem staying in the Philippines because how you treat locals they will give it back to you in double or more...
You are now becoming a Filipino by heart...
I missed my beloved Philippines 🇵🇭 enjoy your journey anywhere in the Philippines. May God guide you always. Subscribed😍
I enjoyed watching your videos. I'm also from the Philippines but wasn't able to travel due to parenting duties. I love how you interacts with the locals. Through your vlogs, it feels like I'm also there. Thank you so much for visiting and appreciating the Philippines. Keep safe and enjoy your stay. 😍👍🤟👌
