Watch my next interview from the Philippines: czcams.com/video/zUOz4YJAnIM/video.html
as a filipino, I love my life here in the Philippines. I can easily talk to my nieghbors, the sense of community is so alive here. I am just 30 minutes away from Manila. But what people are saying that only the people in the province are nice, is not true. City dwellers are also nice and friendly.
I could easily go to the US to work as a nurse since I am a license nurse, an English teacher to Koreans, so my I can easily pass the requirements. But I chose to live here mainly because of the people here.
The only problem I have is that it's too hot here, especially nowadays. El Nino has definitely exacerbated the heat level here. It was not as hot as before, but this weather phenomenon is crazy.
i guess the reason why (in places like NY, fir example) ppl are at each other's throats when it comes to money all the time, is because of the insanely high cost of living there. you have no choice bur to hustle, otherwise, you're gonna have lots of problems that can easily snowball and can cause you to drown in debt and become depressed and homeless, especially with the current situation if NY right now. it's ugly.
hope you can interview Andrei from the channel, Fikipinez. he even brought his Russian mom here to experience the Philippines. just not sure if they're still in the province. his story is very interesting and inspiring.
Y'all need to leave, China will have boots on the ground next month and after that there is no leaving other than home to Jesus.
@@Zee_1003 yes they are in samal
I want to address a misconception about Filipinos being intimidated by foreigners. While some individuals may feel intimidated, it is not the majority, especially among those living in urban areas. Filipinos are known for being shy and respectful, often demonstrating this by allowing foreigners to go ahead of them in various situations. This behavior is indicative of the hospitable nature of Filipinos. Let me provide an example to illustrate this point: there have been instances where Filipinos have offered their food to others who have not eaten, despite knowing that it may be the only meal left for their family. This act of generosity and kindness does not align with the idea of intimidation.
I recall a personal experience in the Philippines where a friend and I decided to step back and let a group of foreigners enter the elevator before us. This gesture was not because we were intimidated or unable to communicate in English, but rather it reflected our cultural inclination to show politeness and respect by allowing others to go first. This behavior is deeply ingrained in the Filipino way of life and is not indicative of intimidation towards foreigners.
Well said 👍
Yes, we Filipinos are really very good to foreigners, herein america, where I live they look at others with suspicions. Can’t blame them too because of the crimes happening here every minutesthe newscasters say, one person is killed violently every thirty minutes. In the PH, very minimal
Exactly perhaps our culture was deeply influenced by our belief in God …to think about others first before yourself is deeply engraved in our personality because of that personality was passed on to the next generation
I'm not intimidated. I just don't like them especially the Americans. They behave as if our country is their retirement territory. They even aspire to own lands.
@@joevan5606 so true. Embedded from being religious plus our upbringing.
So eloquent and I love the way he explained things very clear. Philippines biggest treasure is indeed its people
You were baited by that Pinoy-baiter.
Thank you for appreciating the love I have for the Philippines and its wonderful people!
@@TheTimelapseTravelerthank you for seeing us the way you do. I would rather listen to someone who is honest than someone who sugar coats their experiences about living here. Thanks for loving our land genuinely.
@@TheTimelapseTraveler You just don't have any other choices.
@@Red-tag77 grabe negativity mo par toxic ka masyado dapat ata red flag ang pangalan mo dito hndi red tag 🤦🏼♂️ kahihiyan sa pamilya ung ganyang pag uugali
this guy knows so much about the culture. he's very observant.
@alizagoloso2178. Ur saying absolutely right. I.m agree with you.
I agree with everything you say. I moved to Manila a little over a year ago. It was the best move I’ve ever made. I love living here. The healthcare that I’ve received has been first class. Loving life in the Philippines.
Mabuhai! It really is such an amazing county to live in!
Living in the province or outside manila is much better and much more cheaper than in metro manila. There are lots of places outside manila where you can live a relaxing life near the shoreline or overlooking at the sea with fresh air and a friendly neighborhood.😊❤
I agree. My wife is from a small village, San Miguel, in Eastern Samar. We spent a week there and I fell in love with the life in the province. We will be moving there one day.
I recently traveled to the Philippines and documented my experience on my channel. I even got emotional, particularly when I visited Tondo. The people truly are remarkable. It’s not just the place that brings me back (was my second visit), but the warmth of the locals. Mabuhay🇵🇭
Its an awesome place for sure.
A big salute to this foreign guy appreciating the phils
11 years living in quezon city i've come across truly amazing people, this country has been good to me. No one ever asked me for money always bringing me food offers to wash my clothes to cook for me to clean my apt. It hasnt been better than this. ako ay napakasaya dito! salamat pilipinas.
meron isang vloger na gusto niya din tumira sa bansa isa siyang americano at ang trabaho niya ay truck driver doon din siya nakatira sa truck na minamaniho niya wala siyang bahay dahil mahal daw ang rent..kaya nung sinubukan niyang pumunta sa pilipinas dahil sa kaibigan niya doon niya napag tanto na ang mga tao sa pilipinas ay mababait at hindi materialistic ,kontento na kung anong meron ,kaya nag papasalamat siya nung meron siyang gf at nabuntis ito ang gf niya ay filipina ,un ang reason kung bakit pabalik balik siya sa bansa .gusto niya mag tayo nang munting negusyo at makasama ang kanyang mag iina ..ayaw na daw niya ma stress sa america daw kasi mayaman ang bansa kaya ang mga tao ay nabubuhay lang para sa pera..halos wala nang pag mamahal sa kapwa..ibang iba daw sa pilipinas doon niya naramdaman na importante pala siya na meron pang mga taong nabubuhay na kontento at kasama ang pamilya kahit sa hirap at ginhawa..kahit meron gobyerno at pag tumaas ang bilihin at dolyar unang naapektuhan ang mga mahihirap sa bansa ,kaya kahit papano ay tumutulong ang gobyerno sa mamayan para mabawasan ang pag taas nito ..kaya ma swerte ang mga banyaga na pumupunta sa bansa namin dahil mura ang bilihin para sa kanila..nasasabi ko tuloy parang ginawang poor ang bansa namin para sa mga nais tumira na mga banyaga 😅 ganun pa man hindi naman natin yan madadala sa hukay,importante ay mabait tayo sa kapwa at may panginoon tayo ..
Sabi nga sa biblia ang mga tao kasing halos walang makain sa diyos nlang umaasa.di katulad ng mayayaman umaasa sila sa pera.sabi nga ni jesus mahirap maglingkod sa dalawang diyos sapagkat mayron kang pipilin.utos din ng panginoon na makuntinto sa anunaman bagay na mayron tayo

IT'S NOT RACISM. FILIPINOS LIFESTYLE IS PRETTY LAIDBACK, NEVER IN A HURRY. FILIPINOS ALWAYS KNEW THAT FOREIGNERS ARE ALWAYS ON THE RUN. SO PINOYS ALWAYS GIVE WAY TO THESE PEOPLE BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS TO BE A BOTHER TO SOMEONE WHO'S ON A HURRY.
I get what you mean ma’am, but please edit your comment to “reverse racism”… just to prevent miscommunication and for world peace ❤
Well said…. I can’t believe he sees that as racism. Filipinos are just way too kind and polite♥️♥️♥️
So, you obviously didn't listen to what he said overall. You just heard "reverse-racism" and immediately you went defensive. Everything he said is a fact. Typical F--ng crab metality!
He said "reverse racism" its the opposite. It means we tend to be overly polite to foreigners.
its reverse racism which he gave a perfect example.....
I was once a salaryman working in SM City Manila for about 4 years with minimum salary (can't save enough extra money for emergency funds or house building projects though😅).
Now I'm living in an Island province where less populated to most Islands in Philippines. My location is 300meters away from the seashore and the topography of the land where my small house built is kinda good for Agriculture. My total owned lot area that i Inherited from my Uncle is 3000sqm only. I'm planting different kinds of veges, root crops, fruits, etc etc and also do have some native chicken and ducks--- a bit self sufficient lifestyle.
I always go fishing everyday or setting mud crabs trap (1-3 hours only), excess hunted fishes and mud crabs will be sold to small fish market which is less 1km away from my Home. The money that I get from fishing and mud crabs are already "Net money or Extra money"😊.
Cause most of the time I get my foods from my Humble Garden, Blessed Seashore. I sometimes buy rice, also some goods or foods outside if only I'm craving of something and I do have a week-end food cheat day😅.
I'm a lazy cow now compare to my life before when I was still a salaryman, but the good thing is that I can eat healthy foods, having a healthy environment, stress free life (No Bosses), gaining more some extra or net money.
I only gain around 14k-20k php a month with my lazy routine lifestyle😢. And my total Expenses a month is 3k-5kphp (5k if there is some special occasion like birthday etc etc.)
Within the 3kphp my internet and electricity is already included, and about drinking water is I do have a manual water hand pump that can produce a drinkable clean water.
I always do share some foods to some of my neighbors.
I didn't regret I quit my Job😂.
It's the same with you guys, we don't really need to exactly follow the path where most people in our society are lining with, we just need to follow what's best or suits for own lifestyle that we are dreaming of. The lifestyle that gives peace and contentment to our mind and soul. And I'm sure this is where I belong😊.
God bless with your Journey guys
God bless you on your life's journey.
Good for you. Stay blessed🙏🙏
I wish I can too.
Did you find a girlfriend there?
It's about saving money for rainy days. Good while you're young & healthy. Bad when you're retired & don't have money for your healthcare. As you aged, frequent checkups with the doctor to monitor the status of their health and detect any problems. Major surgery is a reality when your old which will cost you over a million Pesos.
One big thing that I like and miss about the Philippines is the warmth, the friendliness of the Filipinos. The Filipinos are generally kindhearted and welcoming people.
As progressivism and modernity continue along, I fear eventually, like other countries in Asia, that the Philippines will gradually lose this very strong sense of community that is found everywhere in the country.
Thank you for the kind words for the Filipinos. Indeed, humanity exist in the Philippines at all times.
He has no other choice. He's a loser in his country.
It is really my pleasure to live in this wonderful country.
It is not intimidated. It is a form of respect. Philippines are very respectful and polite.
Filipino nurses,doctors & other medical related career are all over the world & u can hear a very good praises from the people who had been taken care of Filipinos...😍🇸🇬
Well said, its all not the money. Glad you understand filipino life hack.
It's a wonderful "life hack" indeed!
im from philippines and from my own opinion, filipino is freindly to all visitor,we love peace and living happy normal life. Any visitor is welcome as long as they peaceful,freindly. You respect filipino and they will respect you back,smile at you, show kindness.
btw,hope you enjoy staying in philippines,stay safe and godbless❤
Thank you very much for that. I feel truly blessed to call the Philippines my home.
It’s natural for Filipinos to be humble, polite and respectful.
Filipinos are naturally welcoming we don’t like people to be left out as the saying goes do unto others as you want others to do unto you..
Very well said!
I am left put of talk all the time. Why don't Tagalogs help. It is simple but they refuse.
I love the conversation with your guest. He is eloquent and witty. I'm a new subscriber. Keep it up!
This is one of the best and honest interview by a Foreigner Cheers to Demitry every single details he explain from his experience here in PH is true Thank you for that Brother and for embrassing Filipino culture.
Thanks brother for this wonderful comment. I am glad you appreciate the love that I have for this wonderful country and its amazing people. No country is perfect and there will always be downsides. Based on my life's experience, there is no place else in the world that I would rather call "HOME" than the Philippines!
You will probably like my channel where you can see the life I have with my wife here in Metro Manila.
@@TheTimelapseTraveler I'll be rooting for your channel cheers!
@@monsfavorite thank you very much for the support!
The guy can elaborate so well. Very clear and nice interview
sorry but we Filipinos are not intimidated.. its just that we are polite and respectful, that's our culture , others are shy but that it.
and when they say that their nose bleeds when they hear foreigners speak in English, its just for fun
because Filipinos have a great sense of humor ,we love to laugh.
Very true. Filipinos are polite and respectful due to religious background.
I think the part this guy has totally missed is the mutual respect for individuals Filipinos have for everyone and imagining that is the reason they hold themselves back as a nation. TBH.. he is a real idiot for saying this. its a capitalist mindset I think. he talks too much and his lack of life experience is insane. his mind is young.
sorry but we filipinos ARE intimidated. Please look up what "intimidated" mean. Because I don't think you understand what that means.
@@estelladee Not all Filipinos. And I'm NOT intimidated by anyone in my own country. I do have respect for others
People here in the Philippines really just want to be happy.
Absolutely Philippines is a paradise and Filipinos are such humble and kind in general!
Yes, exactly! This is why I am so humbled by the love I have been getting from the people of this amazing country, ever since I have made the move make this country my home together with my Filipina wife.
Im Filipino & residing in NYC & hes right a lot of crazy people here in NYC
I recently visited my friends and family in NYC. I had a chance to spend some time in Woodside, Queens. There's even going to be a video about my visit to the first Jollibee in NYC. That's something you will be able to see on my food vlog channel, the "Timeless Food Travels", but you are more than welcome to check out this channel as well. the Timelapse Traveler!
How crazy are they in NYC?
@@poppypoppy98 No crazier than any major city in the US. NYC is a microcosm of the world so it makes for a very interesting place. There is a substantial Filipino population in NY(not as much as in California) and unlike California where you would find Filipino neighborhoods, there is no such thing as a Filipino neighborhood. The closest thing to a Filipino neighborhood would be Roosevelt Ave in Woodside, Queens where you'll find several Filipino restaurants. I worked for the City of New York and that was like working at the UN.
As a Filipina living in Sweden for 11 years here i am not happy to living here.
People are very cold and not smiling when you go out.
My body here.
My mind and soul is in the Philippines,i miss home by😢😢😢 to be honest.You are lucky guys to get sunny weather, eating Fresh foods.and veges.
But our country ups and down but we are simple and happy life
I lived in Ireland for about half a year and I enjoyed it there. People were smiling and small talks are almost inevitable sometimes. Would like to return there again!
@@CaptainNoch Irish are sooo friendly!
Swedes are as cold as their weather!
Jk.
I know 2 Swedes, they're nice when you get to know them!
uwi ka na ate
@@shopkins12desisyon a. magpasweldo ka sakanya?
I'm a new subscriber.I like your vlog.Nice to hear a foreigner who appreciates our way of living,understand Pinoy attitudes esp weaknesses how to communicate and a lot more.He is very observant.He knows how to calculate what's needed for rent,grocery,fare,parking n others.Loud n clear,he is right.God bless!
Thank you very much for appreciating the love I have for the Philippines and its wonderful people. I never thought that I would one day end up living here, but my maganda Filipina wife was very convincing, which I am very thankful for.
Anyone is welcome here, life is short. lets make every moment count. He is very Knowledgeable of the Philippines, all that he said is Accurate. Thank you for being here.
Very nice video that I’ve been waiting for from this content creator since I live in the Philippines & like hearing other’s experiences and views
…
Artificial language barrier used in the video is a good term
…
I live in Mindanao. I renew my visa when necessary
…
The fact about the Philippines is that you can enter an area which looks like a poor neighborhood and still feel safe
…
How many people would feel comfortable walking through a poor like area where they are originally from?
…
I made the move to the Philippines from the United States & I’m completely comfortable with my decision to live in this affordable paradise given my passive income as a military veteran
Glad you found your niche here.. this country may be poor, but we welcome everyone who respects us.. i think it's because the teachings of the Catholic church is so ingrained in most of us that we cannot act otherwise..
The healthcare Filipino workers have integrity in their work and care.
I live in the US for 24 years now. The only thing that bothers me is nat when we arrived in Emergency room everyone has to wait 2-4 hours to be attended by the Doctor. I have a friend whose father had blood circulation that needs attention was screaming because she was worrying about her Dad. One of my co-worker had blood clotting issue waited in emergency room passed away couple of years ago. I never heard this kind of treatment in the Philippines. If you need attention you are given attention away,
Sarap naman pakingan ang mga sinsabi nya, tungkol sa mga narses natin, seguro dahil sa kahirapan din kaya tayo naging mabuting lahi at ugali sa buong mundo.
Malaking tulong rin ang kultura at ugali natin mga Pilipino-hospitable, friendly, thoughtful, caring, hardworking, marunong makisama at laging masayahin. Na-appreciate ng mga ibang lahi na meron tayong sense of humor kaya masaya tayong maging kaibigan.😃 Very adaptable tayo kahit saan tayo mapadpad. However, some of our kababayans can be double standard! Mas mabait sa iba kesa sa kapwa Pinoy. In my observation having lived here in the U.S. for most of my life…it’s the crab mentality that seems hard to change. Within Filipino groups and gatherings you will still find some inggitera,tsismosa, at mga mahilig sa intriga. Para bang ayaw nilang may ibang Pinoy na nakakaangat sa buhay. Sana iyan ang mawala sa ating kultura. Just be happy for others in their success.
True, greed is causing a collapse in western society. On the other side, Filipinos should fight for better infrastructure and jobs in the Philippines.
Yes, that is absolutely right! Fortunately, the Philippines is really advancing in a lot of major ways when it comes to infrastructure, especially when it comes to the roads and the new subway currently under construction. I hope this country continues on its present course to advance itself into the modern age.
I totally agree with your guest. What makes the Philippines great is the kindness of the people.
Very interesting revelations about the humble Pilipinos.
Good to see you featuring my home country watching from Melbourne
I agree. I've lived in USA for almost 50 years, now I 'm back to relax and enjoy here .
Welcome home.❤❤❤
Very nice interview of a New Yorker satisfied living in BGC Metro Manila. I lived in CA (California) for quite sometime too but had a vacation in New York once in a while. What our guest said are all true. I am working as an Auditor but not not that happy .... That's why I now live in Metro Manila & eventually ventured into 3 businesses in the Philippines. I always love the Philippines .... ❤❤❤. I bought my own house in a private Subdivision in North Calooocan Metro Manila
I love his insight on reverse racism in Philippines. He is very right in describing it as "intimidation." He has a very positive way of discussing things. Great guest and interview! 😊
Great interview, Max. Dmitry is really well informed, well traveled, aware, appreciative, concise, and tells it as it is. More power to you both. Oh, and don't forget... most top doctors in the Philippines are educated from western medical schools and still decided to go home and practice medicine for a fraction of what they could have made abroad. Kudos to them, too!
Awesome interviewee and great interviewer. Very relevant topics and factual. 👍
Its less on intimidation and more on respect and hospitality.
Great vlog Max, very enticing and insightful. Thanks to your guest's positive experience living in the Philippines.
Filipinos are welcoming, warm, friendly, polite and give way (like in elevator). Not intimidated.
So greatly explained and I am so impressed with his detailed explanations on why he loves to live in the Philippines. Thank you so much
Thank you for promoting my country Philippines ...
Good interview! Love it ❤
Thank you Sir for the beautiful comment about the Phillipines.This is very inspiring channel to view of all the subcribers.Godbless you Sir!Be happy everyday,smile makes people healthier and younger.🥰❤️❤️❤️👍
It's really my pleasure. I am so in love with this country and its amazing people, especially my Filipina wife of course!
This interview is very refreshing. Covers a lot about living here. Good job and nice to see you in Manila. Most PH life videos are quite astonishing to me when foreigners claim one can live like a king here for US$2000/month. One cannot even rent a house - and I don’t mean not a condo unit in BGC - in a nice neighborhood fit for a king with such a budget. I’m a local, by the way.
Regarding the “nosebleed” when speaking in English, most Filipinos are not raised bilingual (English/Filipino) hence they have to translate first in their heads before speaking. Only those raised bilingual (or some who refuse to speak the local language hence English only) do not have to translate and speak it naturally with good grammar, intonation and vocabulary.
Very well informed. I'm amazed😍
Dmitry spoke well. This is by far, one of the best interview that I watched from the beginning to the end for 30 minutes. We wish you well Dmitry, and thank you for choosing the Philippines over other countries.
Please follow him at his channel Timelapse Traveler

This guy is amazing. So intelligent and open minded
Thank u of your positive comment on filipinos. God bless
You're Ukrainian arrived in America at 9 yrs old and you're so articulate speaking good English. You have a good video laying everything we need to know if we plan to live in Philippines. I'm impressed!
Me and my 3 other siblings experienced only being able eat 2 meals a day when we were younger. My widowed mom had difficulty feeding us all.
I was only 11 when I started carrying big buckets of fishes at 4:00 AM and then selling toothbrush and scotch bright from 5:00AM till 6:00AM. Life was so difficult, but I wouldn’t say I was miserable.
Majority of the 25% Filipinos considered as poor have the same thing to say. Life is difficult, but they always find a time to laugh and smile. 😉
2 meals a day is perfectly adequate.
This is something that the majority of westerners can not understand. One of the biggest cultural differences is PRIORITIES. Filipino people look for things other than financial wealth to define what is "happiness." This has got to be the single biggest thing that I appreciate about the people of this wonderful country and why I am so proud to call this country my home.
The man is smart, I like that that he also observer of the country. He is speaking the reality. I think in my own perspective, my country will adjust example of this is this video, I learned while the man is talking the "unfortunately" here in the country. God bless whoever's watching this. Thanks for this kind of video
This is one of the most sensible conversations i got to watch in youtube, thanks
Excellent and honest to goodness interview with Sir
Filipino loves foreigner we respect and treat them as special person to us...
Just don’t overdo it. Be polite and helpful to them. Respect is for all people-give to fellow Filipinos first then to the aliens.
No need to treat them as special person.
Cap. You guys like to rip off and nickel and dime foreigners. One of the biggest lies on the internet currently is that Filipinos are friendly.
Filipinos literally worship foreigners
Nakakahiya namn kung sobrang espesyal... Tratuhin lang silang parang tao,okay na.. Okay lang sana kung may pamigay silang gold para tratuhin silang espesyal
This is HIS interview. There is no wrong or right answer to the questions if we are to LISTEN to his experiences. Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion. You are free to share yours.
Very well said. Good interviewee! 👍👍
There's nothing relieving than a video with subtitles. It just gives you life. Immersive translate has also been a life saver for me whenever i want to add video subtitles.
Great interview. I love it.👍
Everytime i watching,foriegners vlogging about philippines.i feel crying😢 because as a filipina living here in Uk.i feel homesick to my hometown which is in the philippines.my soul and my mind is in there.😢hoping i will get my vacation soon.to see my two child and my whole family😊thank you by the way your comments about philippines.
The UK is 100x better than the Philippines in every measurable way
Ingat, Ate!
Thanks for this video. It's inspiring.
We always have a good feeling about. Foreigners coming to the PH! We welcome them anytime. We are better than most Asian countries, we are very welcoming and hospitable. Did you ever see a foreigner in America being invited to their homes, they’re very suspicious, in the PH we are not suspicious at all. We welcome strangers, of course those who are good people and not mirderers or something.
Absolutely true. I really love this country and I am so proud to call the Philippines my home.
Thank you so much for choosing Philippines to work & live here in our country. Thank you so much also for your wonderful appreciation to our country. Keep going & may God bless you❤!
Great interview ! -- You ask him a question & then you let 'him' talk. -- Very good - I can see why you are successful. 🤗
😊
Yes, Max is a really good interviewer. I can definitely learn a lot from him when making my own interview videos for my channel.
Wow!! Thank you for loving the Philippines
Well said! I appreciate your honesty!
as filipino we appreciate everything you said
Brilliant speaker. I like you perspective in life. You’ve talked about greed which is on point really! And I love how you described “nosebleed” 😂 We say that word, when the level of english conversation is extremely difficult like the accent and fast paced conversations because it will stimulate out brain cells to focus on listening and generating replies 😂. And thank you for appreciating us healthcare workers. ♥️♥️♥️
Wow Sir you.really love our country despite it is a developing country but what is important to us Filipinos,our character,how we treat people.😀❤God bless 🙏🏻.New subs here.
Thank you Max for this video! 😊
Hope you'll enjoy your stay in the Philippines. Welcome
Great interview with a great person of knowledge

Tanx to share your good story in our Country Guys,,, Watching U from Saudi Arabia...
Am delighted to view this good interview! Enjoy your stay in the Philippines and mabuhay.Thanks to you vlogger too God bless you and mabuhay !
Only two things drive me nuts about the Philippines. You would figure that the driving would be one of them, but it is not. You get used to it, take your time and use your horn to let the motorcycles know when you are passing them. Honking your horn, softly, is not considered rude. The two things are: lack of toilet paper/clean bathrooms in public and the litering. ALWAYS carry a roll of toilet paper with you when you are out in public. The cities and Brgy's clean before a festival, but people are OK with randomly throwing their trash on the ground. It is a shame because everywhere you look, you see beauty and beautiful people.
Tissue paper is not a Filipino thing, even in our home we dont use it, we use bedet instead,
@@gatasalvaje8611its a basic hygiene necessity. im so disappointed when a toilet paper is not available in public toilets even if theres a bidet. most are not that clean too.
I agree and I am Filipino.
@gatasalvaje8611 I traveled to Manila, Cebu and all over Leyte. Most bathrooms did not have a bum gun (at least that is what I call it) or toilet paper. I prefer the bidet after my trips to Filipino's homes and trying one. It's the public bathrooms that I have a problem with.
We use water for washing our bums. It's a bidet. We, Filipinos, find toilet rolls disgusting to be used for cleaning the bum.. it is not clean enough.. some Filipinos even use soap and water...
Thanks to you for apreciating our country and its people
Great interverview.
This man are smart
I agree with the parking lot idea. Everytime I go home I see that opportunity not only Manila but throughout Philippines.
That's one of the things that always surprises me. How is it that you can park your car with a guard and cameras watching for less than $1 for three hours??
Nice, very spontaneous. He seems to be very well versed with the country and the people. Even current events❤
Symphathy without action is nothing.. very true.

His statements and analysis are true.
Thank you for that confirmation. I really try to be honest and true when I talk about my own personal experiences. I really do love this country and I am proud to call it my home.
what an interesting topic video from foreigners insight about filiipinos and our country.
Thank you for that. I also made a couple of interview videos on my channel with other foreigners that you will probably enjoy watching.
Thank you, that other nationalities may learn about us Filipinos's. May God Bless you.
It's really my pleasure. I hope more people around the world will see how amazing life in the Philippines can be.
Well said brother and I say very true on the dot as I rarely see a person describe my country and people as precise as this one.
God bless you sir,
I'm your new subscriber from philippines
Crushing over this guy's ideals and values!
Thank u sir for uplifting people and our country philippines...🥰🥰🥰
I really liked how he described about what Filipinos feel when talking to an English speaking foreigner and having “nosebleed” 😂
I can totally relate to that as well, since English is not my first language. I made one video all in Tagalog for my channel, that turned out pretty funny though, when I have my own "nosebleed" when trying to pronounce the words!
For Westerners who earn wages from western countries it’s easy to live in the Philippines or if you have your own business but if you born and live there and earn minimum wage is very hard that’s why a lots of us Filipino prefer to work outside..
I also saw some foreigners who are homeless and begging for money. This is the side that most people don't see often.
uhmmm .. speaking as a Filipino, it really depends. Yeah life is hard. but as long as we eat everyday, we're fine! I prefer to stay here. If material things isnt that much important to you, you can stay and live a happy and contented life.
It's all a matter of personal priorities. Filipino people find joy in having a close knit community of loved ones that they are surrounded by. This to me is a beautiful meaning of a "rich life"
