Filipino Hospitality consists of 3 STEPS:
Yesterday -- you were a stranger,
Today -- you are a friend,
Tomorrow, you will be family.

tumpak
It was called "familiarity". If your mindset is still European, you'll never get what you expect. But if you let yourselves be immersed in the culture and familiarity of everything around, you'll be able to feel comfortable. To familiarize yourselves with the things around, sometimes you have to mingle with the locals. For example asks them where to get things you need and ask for help. You'll find them happy and willing to help you.
that's true.

Precisely

Filipino 100%hospitality.kind friendly.....
Great to see so many others here in the Philippines. I first came here to the PI. back in 1972. On R&R from being in vietnam. I was a young 18 yr. old on a U.S. Destroyer tying up in Subic Bay Naval Base. I fell in love with the people and country. Marco's was in power at that time and Marshal Law was also in affect. I am a 69 yr. old who served in the U.S. Navy for 30 years, 25 active then the last 5 yrs. In the Fleet Reserve. Been to the Philippines maybe 10 times throughout my time and now live here permantly. Keep Going
Are we right? Let us know in the comments!
Thank you for the honesty and your support to our tourism. It helps our economy
Collab with Finnsnow, he's from Iceland and live here for many years now and just recently he brought his father and brother to immerse them with what an everyday Philippine life like to be...and they accept it with joy..Stay safe and enjoy your stay...👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️
Collab also to 8miles away, he is fr. UK. And they live in Siargao.
Your great couple thank you so much because you love to visit our Country Philippines GOD bless you both Amen Amen
Im sure people are surprised that even to this date , you are still living in Siargao .You two are more resilient than the locals. The latter are staying there because there is nowhere to go ,but both of you have .So,i salute you and really admire your tenacity!
if you're gonna build a house there in siargao, make it sturdier and storm proof because siargao has no mountains to protect it from storms. so build concrete houses with roof decks not those with steel roofs or huts(kubo) that goes flying whenever a super typhoon comes.
We lived through Odette and it has definitely changed out thinking about it
You are both amazing!!
Thank you for choosing the Philippines to live in as your second home.
I can only imagine the amount of adjustments that both of you had to go through!
More success to both of you!! Hope you can stay forever!!
God bless and stay safe stay healthy and stay happy!!
❤️🥰🙏🏻👍🏼🤗🇸🇪🇵🇭
Thank you so much! I think we appreciate PH more every day
@@EmyJohan Hello sir I'm from Philippines ,,
I need your help sir for my son he needs nebuliser he is 3 months old 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🥺🥺🥺🥺 hope you help me🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏it's ok if second hand or lowest price sir🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@maris6042 u are thick!
Yes maybe I'm thick but I'm doing for my son's and as a mother you do everything for your child
@@leanntakahashi5217 yess ma'am I'm thick for my son because as a mother I will do everything for my child
During the pandemic, especially the first lockdown, the queuing for everything was terrible. But, I hope you guys are truly enjoying your stay here.
Glad you guys like the Philippines, thank you for promoting. Filipinos are always ready to help, just be careful in your adventures and enjoy the people the beach and the life. Take care you both and we're glad you chose the Philippines.
we take care but feel very safe here. always friendly people everywhere we go in the province
@@EmyJohan glad to know, been to siargao myself once and the town is super friendly, Im glad you call it home already 😊
@@EmyJohan in the province even if they have only 1 bed they'll unselfishly offer it to strangers and they'll sleep the floor instead ..
See that's the problem in the Philippines when it comes to getting in line in the stores.They will cut you in line.I know it's kind of rude but it's normal.Just stay safe and good luck.Enjoy your stay.
Ai ganun ba. Hahaha
Good evening my favorite vloggers. Very understable to feel the way you did at first in the Philippines. But I'm glad you found your bearing and the beauty of the country.
thank u so much again guys for accepting to your heart and for loving Philippines... enjoy and happily for vlogging and where your going anywhere here👍💪👋👋❤️❤️❤️🙏✌️✌️🏞️🏝️🚣🏊😂😂😂
Siargao is better than Boracay
Pls. Come here in Dumaguete. You see people patiently queueing at the ATM, banks, restaurants etc.
Thanks for your honest opinions. There are like and dislikes living in the PH especially in the remote area or town and living in the big cities. As you know PH is a 3rd world county, If you are living in small towns or remote province, you would not find big groceries, lack hospitals and govt services. However, you will enjoy the sceneries, beaches, or mountains and simple life. If you are living in BGC, that's very different story.
Philippine people are the most hospitable people in the world. We are very supportive, loving, caring and funny. Think about this: why there are so many foreigners vloggers going to the Philippines. Ask the foreigners vloggers and you will know the real answer.
Earning while enjoying the holiday...thats...something amazing..
Nail it sister..
You have to live in the city especially in Manila so that you can find everything you want. Don't live in the jungle sure You can't find anything in the jungle but snake.
Philippines is a country to relax and to laid back especially in the province area with mountains,the green views,the rice fields.or near the beaches/oceans.the nature there is nice👍.it has lot of things to explore.if i've to choose a place to retire,Philippines is my ＃1 choice and ＃2 is Hawaii.
We are very thankful for promoting the Philippines, you guys can live a very simple life though we know that you are well off in Sweden yet you accept our imperfection our country.
Phil is the best destination for the European citizens esp this bitter cold winter season plus the soaring inflation and the Neverending war in Ukraine..at least Phil is a "seasonal" rescuer.
Enjoy guys...
Keep going bro..we are here to support your channel..💓frm dasma cavite phillipines
Love you guys, thanks for learning to love the Philippines, keep safe and enjoy your stay always, God bless!
You are a beautiful couple !! It’s been great to watch your love for the Philippines grow. Love watching your journey. Mabuhay
The PH isn’t perfect but it’s home. So it takes some or a lot from us to make it better. And thank you for doing that as well. That’s why Filipinos are helpful. We call it ‘bayanihan’ - being mindful of others because we need each other to ‘exist’.
As a local in Manila, I’m super excited about that railway projects being constructed. That will improve the city life in the metro.
Thank you guys for promoting our place here in Philippines, your such an amazing person, enjoy your moments here in the Philippines, good luck and have a great time.. done wacthing here from pasig city
You guys are amazing ...
Thank you for always supporting locals ... Specially here in siargao ....
.. BLESS you guys. ❤️
Thanks Louis!!
Every country has its own negative and positive side because for me there is no perfect country. I also agree to one of the comments that “familiarity” is the key to success. People all over the world has different attitudes because we have a different educational background. After experiencing and exploring a certain country after living/settling in a certain place/province, foreigners will realized the beauty of the country. The culture/people & traditions and how to incorporate themselves to the society they lived. Anyway welcome again to the beautiful country the PH…🇵🇭🇵🇭
Thank you for making our country Philippines your choice as 2nd home.. we consider you our family and friend👍😘💕💓
Thanks Amy, we feel at home here thanks to people like you
You are so much welcome😍💕
Stay safe and Mabuhay!!!
As a pilipino living US for 30 years and US citizen already but something missing to visit my origin The kindness friendliest and hospitable people from Philippines no matter what status of there life.. My administration to you guys choosing Philippines as your 2nd home is greatly appreciated..Hoping visit more part of the Philippines specially north. Thank you so much for loving Philippines and the pilipinos as well ..
Hallo Johann and Emy! You're such an encouragement for me always everytime you vlog your residence Siargao. Though you're from the most developed country Sweden yet you chose to Siargao to reside and enjoy the nature. When I retire as Nurse I would also live in our island and plant vegetables. I have worked in Germany and I know what it means living in developed country. Danke dass Ihr auf den Philippinen wohnt, pass auf Euch auch. Ich liebe Euch.
Tack att ni älskade mitt land som jag älskar Sverige också , jag kom till Sverige 1989 och trivs jätte bra, Hoppas att ni trivs också i Filippinerna , älskar eran video jag och min karl brukar titta på, ni visar överallt i mitt land. Ha en riktigt bra där.
Lovely couple ❤️❤️❤️
I like the vibes that you both bring to Pilipino people . Stay safe and healthy hope u we like more of the things In phillippines 🇵🇭
Welcome to the Philippines and enjoy living here, and be safe always
Thanks Leone!
Two years damn, it's long time to love the country the Philippines. Tbh you're a damn tough guys. Living in Sweden it must be good that's why I admire your courage to live in a simple way. As long as you're happy period. Keep safe always ...
I am glad you find Philippines Beautiful. I was born in Phil and really love my country.. but now in Malmö for 19 years 🥰❤️
We appreciate and understand what you had experience and impression about Philippines especially during pandemic. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Wow. New sub here. I admire your resilience and determination to stay and live organically. Salute. Enjoy!
Hi! I enjoyed very much watching your blog specially your daily routine how you make good video of different places, beaches and natures around us. Waiting for your next blog.
As a senior citizen, I perfectly understand where ur coming from. It's an imperfect country but nowhere in the world will u find the uniqueness of Filipinos and how they treat foreigners. That's why many foreigners now live in the Philippines.
Philippines is not just a house it is a home for comfortable living🥰
YOU ARE ALWAYS WELCOME " BUT WE NOT FORCING ANNYONE TO, LIKE OUR HUMBLE LAND TO ANYBODY IF YOU DONT FEEL COMFORTABKE "
GO TO MANILA MOST EVERYTHING IS OVER THERE NOT IN 5HE REMOTE AREA "
The option is always yours: to leave or not to leave. Please do not impose your culfure or values on people who are obviously different from yours. If you are uncomfortable with any of our tradition or culture you are free to leave. Filipinos are friendly by enlarge but please do not expect everyone to be of your liking. Having said all that, welcome to the Philippines.
Awesome vlog. Perhaps, if you guys stayed first in BGC you won’t experienced a big difference. But glad that you guys already adopted island living and enjoying it. Looking forward to your next vlogs.👍🏼❤️
Happy for you guys, I have a colleague a Swedish as well He came to the Philippines with his wife for a vacation we went to Boracay and Cebu and stayed at my house for 2 weeks. He plans to visit again in the future. Keep safe and enjoy your second home, Mabuhay🎉🙏

That's taro or gabi that the roots and leaves are edible. There are seaweeds that are edible too as in salad. On some seaweeds just wash them and add tomatoes and/or onions; on some there are bits of stones stuck on them, remove these stones, wash or blanch them and presto! ready to eat!' Be safe and stay healthy. ☺ Thanks for loving the Philippines.
Thanks guys for loving the Philippines and appreciating simple things (pagpapahalaga sa mga simpleng bagay) around you.💕 God bless you both.

Awesome I love you guys 🇵🇭💙👍
it's maybe quite expensive to live in Siargao but if you love surfing, it's paradise
Yep! Foreign tourists especially in Siargao are mainly surfers even way way back when Siargao is not yet well known to local tourists I remembered when I haven't moved here yet in Cavite foreigners will visit our house and have a chat with my grandparents and aunts. Siargao is well known outside the PH always featured in a surfing magazine before vlogging became a thing.
Hi Maganda Emy and gwapo Johan we like you here in the Philippines..U help promoting our country..
