This Homeless Man's story on Love will probably leave you in tears | Philippines
In this emotional interview, I sit down with a homeless man in the Philippines to explore his life, values, and beliefs. We discuss what brings him joy, his understanding of love, and how he finds meaning and purpose while navigating the challenges of homelessness in Manila.
As part of my "Human Connection" series, this video focuses on meaningful conversations and authentic human experiences in the Philippines. It highlights themes of happiness, purpose, and the universal need for connection in a world that often overlooks deeply personal stories like his.

    I've lived in QC for about 6 months now, and it is hard to make friends here. At least harder than it is in the US. It's difficult if you don't speak Tagalog because in group settings, everyone uses Tagalog, which is only natural, but if you don't speak or understand enough Tagalog, you'll feel like an outsider. I've not had much luck meeting many other expats. I live in Eastwood QC, where most expats have a huge age difference from myself... most seem to be 60yrs+. In areas like BGC you can find a much younger age group to befriend. You can make friends in the philippines, it's just probably a lot harder than in our home countries. Like those interviewed said, Filipino people are friendly, welcoming and open to friendships. It's up to us as expats to also open ourselves up more and learn Tagalog so you can truly be part of the friend groups.

    Stop doing drugs and drink alcohol openly in public and then magically you have job and can afford things. It's such a hilarious shit tbh. Im living in NL for over a decade and in my mind it's IMPOSSIBLE to be homeless here. And if you wonder how the f these people are sleeping on streets, I can tell you with 100% confident those motherfuckers just DON'T WANT TO STOP DOING HARD DRUGS and thats the reason they can not get help because those institutions gives very simple ultimatum. Be sober = Get money and house. Easy as that. Let's stop sympathizing these idiots. I met people like that and I offer them job, right away, can start in next 12h, NOBODY ACCEPT IT. So what do you looking for? Money for drugs? Try somewhere else...

    @musiux2000 26 дней назад

    Thank you so much for this documentary and spreading the knowledge about the people who end up on the streets without help. I wanted however to ask you to stop using term East European. Why? Because it is not who Polish, Lithuanian, Bulgarian or any other country that was OCCUPIED by soviets is or should be identified as. Please read an article below to understand this better and not to use this term going forward. Thank you: Eastern Europe Does Not Exist Have you ever asked yourself why Lithuanians so strongly resist being called an Eastern European name? One of the main, logically understandable reasons is that this way we are associated with underdeveloped, illiterate, wild people dressed in bear skins. This categorization is incorrect both geographically and culturally, as Lithuania is as far north as Denmark, while Bulgaria is in southern Europe. You won't find any accurate political maps, as such a division does not exist. For example, Greece is further east than Poland. There’s no way to create an “Eastern Europe” in a cultural sense, as the Baltic peoples are different from the Slavs, and Romanians are different from Estonians. Eastern Europe is a fiction created for the purpose of dividing Europe, and not without reason is the term “Eastern Bloc” still used. There is Western European civilization, and there is the East. The West signifies stability, culture, and a good life, while the East represents chaos, organized crime, prostitution, and alcoholism. It’s no wonder that every election cycle draws attention to this distinction. In Western society, populists love to exploit the bogeyman of Eastern European hordes to this day. This phenomenon emerged in the 18th century as an object of scholarly study, aimed at investigating neighboring “lower culture” nations and countries. The objectives were purely imperialistic: conquest and subjugation. As a result, it’s impossible to define the boundaries of the region - it’s purely political and nothing more. But this concept has existed for two hundred years. Why does it still exist today and continue to be used? The main reason, of course, is the Soviet Union, which after World War II demanded that the United Nations recognize Eastern Europe as an official, separate category of countries. This was necessary, of course, to legitimize the occupation. Soviet scholars and politicians put a lot of effort into ensuring that this term would take root and endure. If you read about it on Wikipedia, you would be shocked to remember that according to these definitions, the boundaries of Eastern Europe extend quite nicely from the Urals and the Caucasus to Germany. During Soviet times, there were scholars who even used average temperatures to argue that Siberia begins in East Germany. This is a zone of influence and a shadow that envelops and prevents escape, i.e., turns the object cast here and there into a dependent, non-sovereign, non-independent entity. Western Marxists, together with Kremlin propagandists and useful idiots from Lithuania, chirp in unison that we are governed by the USA, have become a satellite of the European Union, and say what we are told. And in their minds, it can't be any other way, as we are not an independent nation but just some version of a "rossijano." Lithuania cannot have its own opinion or act independently. This is also one of the reasons why we cannot be perceived as successful - how can a non-existent nation/country achieve something on its own? Nonsense - Lithuania simply cannot be equal to Western Europe, because we are made from inferior clay. This (partially) explains why people so resist statistics claiming that this generation will reach Western European living standards (not to be confused with wealth accumulated over generations). We cannot be happy - all the youth have emigrated! The happiest youth in the world? Nonsense! The Kremlin persuades us and the West that countries like Lithuania or Ukraine are analogous to children, constantly needing supervision, being dependent, prone to mischief, and overall more of a headache than a joy. Changing this mental image will be much harder than simply classifying Lithuania as part of Northern Europe or starting to write “Kyiv” instead of “Kiev.” As long as Europe exists, and that… other Europe exists, it will remain difficult to find consensus on security issues.

When you first learn talking good englisch or dutsch and you want to work then you get also work brut you can't used drugs or alcohol you must be a clean person so that they can trust you and that you not get ill when you must work etce tc etc etc.

    THe most homeless people are actually Dutch as statistics say. Because they can not find homes available, not because they have no work. THere is enough work here. These homeless people that are still on the streets are often drugusers or alcholics. They lost their jobs also because of that and they probably also will not tell you that. My sister works with them. This is something most regular Dutch people are struggling with the housing issue. Homelessness is much more complicated because the behavior of the people themselfes plays a big role in that. If I didn't have my dad, I would be homeless right now and I am Dutch and also my sister. WE both can not find our own place. The waiting list is around 20 years and buying a home is almost impossible to do on your own unless you are rich or had some kind of help from family. There is also a reason why people don't want to have illegal people in the country because these undocumented people are an issue to begin with so they asked for this themselfes to be undocumented. If the Dutch people already face this issue then why would these people even come here, this is not a secret. This housing crisis is a known issue in the country

    It's definitely cultural. The hook up culture is not as prevalent as in western countries. Most people date to marry. Courtship is also practiced. It is also true that familial approval is very important. Also, due to the intermarriage between Malays and East Asians, most have features which can be considered too soft.
