    We don't know how did the Philippines change the both of you, but the only thing that I know is you change the Filipino people because your blogs teach us how to appreciate our own country, and also by the help of your blogs change how the other foreigner see the Philippines, you change their mindset that the Philippines is not a scary country but it is a beautiful country with a beautiful people, even if you experienced bad things here you'd still loved this country because you know that the real beauty of one country is not only see in just one aspect but when you explore it you will see the true beauty of it, we will not stop loving the both of you because you didn't stop loving us and also our country,thanks you.

    I think everyone would agree that you are now, bonafide Filipino by spirit and the passion that you both have for us keeps growing and growing. You have been to more places here in the Philippines than most of us and you have sacrificed a lot of time, money and energy, some people here accuse you guys of just using the Philippines and the people for your own personal gains, I don't really get that. All I know is, your vlogs take me to places that I know I may never be able to go to, and that in itself gives me something to appreciate and be grateful about you guys. Thanks for choosing this country as your new home. It's usually the Filipinos trying to find home in other countries such as yours. Hope you will continue to see the value and beauty of this country despite its imperfections and flaws in some aspects ❤😉☝️✌🏻🤟😍

      Batanes is the best island in the Phils. hands down!! We went there ten years ago... we were the only tourists at that time and we had the best time!!!!The flights were not regular but these days the flight availability is even better. There was no electricity at night but we we have seen the most stars!!! There is nothing as friendly as the people of Batanes. One can even go inside in any house, everyone is welcome and everyone greets everyone with ‘Dios mamajes (mamahes)’. There is even as an Honesty Store - just get any item from the store and leave your payment in the basket! Although shoplifters are not encouraged 😆. What they lack in the facilities in its remoteness and ruggedness is their best advantage.
      I just hope Batanes won’t get overrun with too much tourists like Boracay!

    Thankyou very much Sir Mike and Ma’am Nelly for this. I just got home from Church and all I was thinking the wholeday was to thank you for taking time reading my story and even sharing this to our community. I am out of words on how many thankyou shall I give back to you. You’re blessed because you never missed a chance to help someone. No matter what happen, I always believe this a big breakthrough to my situation. Even your words of encouragement and seeing you both cry, and relate to what I am going through inside made me cry. I am thankful on how still blessed I am even if I have this situation.
    YOU REALLY ARE MAKING THINGS HAPPEN with your kindness, willingness to help, and your genuine heart for everyone. May God continue to bless you and I will forever treasure this moment you have given me. Maraming salamat, mahal ko kayo! 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️

      Hi, Mike and Nelly's avid subscriber here. I've kept track of their Philippine journey...and as they've suggested in their vlog, I also read your email. And as their follower like the others, we can't help but wonder why did you resorted to email Mike and Nelly your life history and such? Like if you're really desperate and all, how come you haven't displayed that you have already exerted all of your resources first?
      I mean, you already have an established youtube channel, fb account fan page, instagram, etc. with so many followers. You work at Manulife, got great communication skills, do vacations and such...you're smart... So why not use them promote and showcase all that you're selling, such as your house? You went through college and these are not hard to figure out. And quoting what the other subscriber said, you're options to sell is endless.

    • @GCeleresJr
      @GCeleresJr Před 5 lety +10

      cam y Hello :) This effort I made to email Sir Mike and Ma’am Nelly was just one of those efforts you may not have seen. You can check out my facebook and check that I’ve already posted the house being sold last year around August or September. It went a little viral in our area, dozens of people have managed to help and messaged me regarding the house, posted it to different selling groups online, managed to talk with brokers who are my friends, and yet why have I not sold the house yet? Because it’s never simple to sell a house especially on my case. It’s still under mortgage, have unpaid dues, that’s why. My network is very limited because all my current connections are mostly like to my age or lower. I don’t think I am hitting the right market. To email Sir Mike and Ma’am Nelly was one of those shot I just tried, and I felt happy that they appreciated my effort to do so, and felt Blessed to have them believing in me. I can answer all your questions privately but I don’t think this is the perfect space for that because I don’t want Sir Mike and Ma’am Nelly to feel like they did something terrible. I’m just really thankful to their kind effort and I believe that’s the best highlight of this vlog. You can message me through my facebook anytime :) Thankyou and let’s spread happy thoughts :)

Like any country,we have some bad things and bad people too but minus those, I am proud to say, our culture, love and respect for elders and children, the friendliness, desire to please, to help and share, it's amazing.We have what I believe, the greatest resilience compared to any other culture.Smiles is a big part of our faces and majority of us can laugh at our own mistakes and accept our shortcomings. Anti depressants are rarely needed because for the most part, we have families and friends we can count on for physical, emotional and even financial support.I am so thankful I am a Pilipino, and so happy that more and more people like you are starting to learn and appreciate what Pilipinos are all about.Thank you guys, for spreading the word.
