Filipino Spirit Has been tested by the pandemic in the Philippines. Why is the Philippines a poor country? Poor countries in Asia include more than just this one, but looking at the life of a poor Filipino makes me want to start helping poor Filipinos! How are we surviving in the Philippines? Well join me as I walk the mean streets of Cebu, where I try to Pay It Forward, and help a vendor who's just trying to make it through the day .....

Salamat po pea for making this type of video's 🙏 god bless you always 🇵🇷🇵🇭 todays content was pretty heartwarming 🇵🇭🇵🇷🙏🏆 you are a true champion at heart and soul ❤️ with your dedication towards others.
Hello my beautiful gorgeous friend great day to you
Good job Pea, what a nice lady. God bless her 🙏
This is another reason why I love this channel filipina pea is such a beautiful looking girl but she also has a beautiful, caring heart. Filipina pea is adorable. I wish her every success in all she does. Love to her.
I loved the subtitles English. I can understand almost all but I prefer the subtitles. You made me feel very lucky for live on a good country, Switzerland, and the Philippines is a country I desire to visit. The videos you made are the best and the people who suffer and always with humour. Even your parents.🥰. Don't forget the subs, please
The world is a better place because of people like you, Pea.
Yes.
Aren't her videos special?
"Look out politics."
I call her the Sarah Palin of the Philippines.
“The Stacey Dooley of the Filipines” would be more accurate, I’d say :-)
@@Sonmi-451 Stacey Dooley is a wokey-dokey dumb-ass these days. That documentary she made was OTT.
Very aspiring Pea I cried when you gave her all that money just to give away free food and help her family. I’m blessed to be a Patreon of yours coz I know God is Blessing you. Salamat Pea for this video.
And you’re the reason I can do stuff like this, Clay 👍❤️
@@TheFilipinaPea ..... aspiring Pea❤️... I cried same Clay ...Pea when you gave her all that money and love ...I will be moving to Cebu soon hope to see you there❤️
Dear Clay, i totally LOVE that you are a Patreon. The same for me. We know that this is not a charity, but it is the main reason i support VERY generously to our AMAZING Pea (and my future wife lol)
Dearest Jesus Christ will continue be with Bel sister Pea and guide her and bless her to greater heights and use her as a vessel to save more souls for salvation (kaligtasan) for Jesus Christ. Jesus loves you, Jesus saves and Jesus heals. God bless
God shouldn't be so selective. If God was a genuine loving entity she wouldn't have to do this. We've all been thrown in this world with no help at all from any God
Very kind gesture that you did. You’re a very thoughtful person.
Thanks Kenneth! It’s fun to surprise people 😂
Spoiler alert
My wife and I sponsor a small school in Luzon. Can't wait to go back to see our kids😊
Always admired the Filipino spirit. I think Westerners should send children there to learn some humility.
If you sent your children here for one week, they’d be screaming to go home - and never complain again
(well, not until their new XBox order got delayed again) 😂
@@wardcummins8736 As a veteran i agree to a degree... But these American kids would collapse and cuz others to get killed... So 50/50
I agree
@@wardcummins8736 facts
Like this person said. Or at least have sensible parents that teach them that.
I'm so proud of you for offering a job, as opposed to just buying the day's output and giving it away. Instead of giving a one-day bonus, you are offering the potential for many days of prosperity! Thanks, Pea for the things you do and the things you fearlessly share with us!
Exactly, Mango - teach a person to fish, or at least provide them a pole 😊👍
You may not be able to add much more to her income, but the job you offer is more rewarding and the authorities won't chase her down. I like that you primarily help people who are try to survive and not as much those who are not willing to even try.
You inspire us Pea! Thank you for all you do!!
Spoiler alert
It's difficult to give people a break, without making them feel like a charity case. I watch closely, at how you do it, to learn. You do it with such grace, I admire you.
Yes, the Pea is a class act!
Awww thanks Bent - I never want to belittle peoples efforts, and it’s really her last option
@@TheFilipinaPea You're a class act, Pea. I hope whoever you have as a partner, realizes how lucky they are.
The Filipino spirit is somewhat contagious, no matter what happens or the situation they always seem to find the silver lining in everything. They will tell you that that they know well they are poor, but as long as they have their faith and family they feel they are richer by far. There are no more admirable people than the Filipino's.
We have to keep smiling - to keep from crying 😂😭😂
@@TheFilipinaPea
😥🥲 Sweet Pea makes a difference!
Your walking monologue reminds me of Leonardo DiCaprio at the start of "The Beach". Well-chosen and hard-hitting words. I think you are going places Ms. Pea. And if any Westerners have some spare time and cash, they can follow your example. If we were all like you the world would be a better place.
I love that movie! Maybe subconsciously I channeled a little Leonardo 😂
@@TheFilipinaPea 🤣
Well done Pea. The love of giving and potentially taking another soul under your wings in the future..
If I can make it back to Cebu, I promised her - and I always keep my word 👍
@@TheFilipinaPea Very nice of you!
No "if"s Pea it would be nice if I could stop and say hi on a layover/through trip at Cebu. And why do some Filipinos pronounce it
'Say-boo' ?
@@TheFilipinaPea can i come work for u?
I felt sad for them Pea..their on the streets God bless them daily
I saw how happy the Filipino people are, despite living day-to-day. They know if they help someone, they will be blessed by being helped in the future. That is an awesome way to live your life.
It kills me to see this. A country rich in natural and human resources where the people are made to suffer by the incompetence of their institutions.
It breaks my heart.
I understand what you're saying, government mismanagement is the main cause of the poverty from what I see.
Blame China
The G7 Summit showed some of the richest countries in the world want to move away from supporting China and move some of the manufacturing jobs to other developing countries. China has been causing way too many problems lately. It'd be nice if the PH got some of these factories, although I don't think the country's infrastructure is really built for it yet.
Whatever the root causes, I know that it doesn’t have to BE this way!!!!! 😡
@@TheFilipinaPea just seems to be the same with all ex-Spanish colonies.
I've been supporting 5 families through this health blight and it's getting very wearisome
FIVE families??????? ❤️❤️❤️
@@TheFilipinaPea Yes, unfortunately, they can't find any work. This one gal runs a store with her mother. But business is down 90%
@@wardcummins8736 JERK
@@wardcummins8736 nor is it about you!..check your anger issues at the door!
I can relate also, have had to help some Filipino friends over the years. Sometimes has been a few days or the week's salary. Hard if there is no end in sight
What people here in America spend on things like a coffee and donut can actually be used to help those that are in a dire situations like those there. Can you or anyone else even imagine going one day without that large coffee and a donut? While they think that is hard to do, someone somewhere is literally starving.
Thank you for showing this, it is a reminder that we all need.
Thanks Steve, and that’s a good way to put it 👍
Corporations
You truly show your love for you fellow Filipinos! Showing the world how hard Filipinos work & the strong values Filipinos have. Brought tears to my eyes....for real!
Keep your eye on this woman. She is an online pioneer, breaking into hearts without apology. Watch her numbers grow, due to sharing hearts, worldwide.
That’s very kind Derek - we’ll see what happens 👍
Made me cry this, I have often said to people who are down on their luck, you never what is around the next corner, sleep on it tomorrow is a new day, a new beginning.... you just never know, life's tricks.....
When I come to the Philippines, my plans are to stay in Bacolod and Dumaguete, but I will be flying from Canada to Cebu. I may not be The Filipina Pea, but I promise to help out a few people myself.
Such an enlightening video. It's amazing that somebody who's worked so hard and even obtained a college degree, is sometimes even forced to the streets like this woman. That's so tough. Americans here don't know poverty compared to the people of the Philippines and some other impoverished Nations. Thank you for shining a light on even the blemishes of your great country. It's definitely quite a big truth bomb. Keep up the great work.
You’re absolutely right, Jeremy - most Americans (especially the younger ones) have no clue what real poverty is
I'm certain your calling is still developing but your current purpose is so admirable.
You make me cry when your noble gifts are presented Pea.
Education is important however your new friend like your photographer(I forgot her name) has prayed for you to enter their life. 🙏
You're an Angel Pea and Traveling Godsend.🙌
May Love always be in your ❤️eart.
And in my city USA people are holding signs for handouts. Many are veterans. Something is wrong here. They don't even try anymore and there are many jobs available.
Well Done!
I like how she expand her horizon with a balanced perspective the Good Bad and Ugly non judgemental with an abundance of love and compassion...God Bless You
Your generosity is amazing and you have just massively improved the life of a Filipino sister and her family. You are an amazing lady.
this is sad , I look forward to go there and and help the people. You are the best Pea
Sad is an accurate word, yup 👍
Very heartwarming and shining a light on the fact that many with degrees still find it hard to earn money in the Philippines. Well done Pea!
People in the west might not be able to fathom the real situation here - you often need a university degree to work as a store clerk 😔
Same in the United States too Peter! Having degrees that is useless
@@TheFilipinaPea So true Pea, it's a different world to what many in the west could imagine. Take care!
@@TheFilipinaPea The US is similar. The requirement for degrees is over and about what is needed. I'd be surprised if flipping burgers doesn't require a degree withing the next 10 years.
@@TheFilipinaPea do you really need a degree to be a store clerk, or do they just wind up there due to not being able to get a better job?
Love this Pea.. god bless you
Thanks so much, Pete! 👍😊
Interesting story! Thank you for spreading kindness to our fellow countrymen. 👏👏👏
Our country needs more people like you and our hardworking vendor there, Ate Nida. 🙂🎉🎉🎉
I woke up this morning feeling sorry for myself. I watched this video and everything changed! I am soooooo grateful for my life now. Thank you
Excellent! Then the video was already worth making 👍😊
Your kindness and generosity warms my heart. The proud and strong Filipinos are just barely surviving with the local authorities shutting down their businesses and confiscating their goods! Wondering who they are competing with? Preying on the poor, it’s just wrong man!
Some of the police are like the bad ones here in America, hurting the the people that trying to do good for themselves and they families.
Each time the authorities take away the food, it makes that person and they family poorer and hurt more, where is the heart?
Some people are heartless and just pure evil!!!
God help them all.
The paperwork for anything in the Phils is maddening. Poverty there will never change for the better until the government changes the way for people to get the requirements even for the simplest jobs. The government is really holding down the future of the country by treating the people this way. Streamline the paper process, elminate the age limit and let the people get to work.Build a better, stronger Philippines today.
the goverment there likes to keep the poor very poor because it makes revenue from the sex industry and thats where poor vulnerable come in to play.SAD
This is nice. Very kind.
But your thoughts of population control? The numbers and statistics are scary.
The government never put a gun to men and women who decide to have more children they can't afford. And that cycle of poverty has been cycling for 50 years.
And the country has been steady with unwanted teen pregnancies and too high of a population growth more so than resources.
During an ayuda program in Batasan Hills a jeepney driver was interviewed and said the 4K PHP was kulang because he had 5 kids and a wife to feed...
Philippines population 1971. 37 million. Canadian population 2020 37 million.
I commented further on statistics about the Philippines. It seems it's been deleted. Hope this comment doesn't.
These good vibes are just that, good vibes. But to heal from the tree root level rather than the tree branch level, you have to dig deep. Really deep.
I am in tears. Love you and all you do. Please do not stop. God praise on you.
You're a good person, Miss Pea. And you inspire us all. I really hope someday you run for public office there. So you can change things for many people.
Thank you Pea ; you bring tears to my eyes with your kindnesses.
Wow P.... So gracious you have such a great heart and a smart mind. You will be rewarded in time
Pea, the more I watch your videos the more I fall in love with what you do. You are a true blessing to the Phiippino family.
Thank You young Pea lady for bringing this out .. American people have no idea how hard life can be when a few pesos can make the difference in life and death... Americans really don't know what starvation is like or just living on the street, for the most part, is like ... Pea Yer a good heart, Noticed that months ago with Nanay...
Again, covering critical ground to enhance understanding some other "aristocratic" vloggers in Cebu and elsewhere are either unable or to ignorant to approach (sticking to worn out/dead but familiar/easy topics a.k.a. city/province, dating/relationship advice) to secure views but not bridging any real depth of cultural understanding. Another bullseye - thanks Pea.
The world needs more people like you Ms. Pea. Such a big heart. As for me, I tried following your instructions and discovered that my neck is just too short for the goodbye kiss.
To everyone that is able to watch this, count your blessings!!!! Thank you pea, we love you
The Philippines people are a strong and proud people, but that pride inspires them to fight the good fight. They don’t lay down and beg, they dig in a do what is necessary. I have fallen in love with this nation and it’s proud people. I am not wealthy but I do as much for as many locals that I can here in San Hose. Your videos are a large part of my knowledge and experience before I even came to see for myself, and I thank you because of your efforts and kind heart. As always I wish you and your family all the best.
You pointed out a prevalent aspect in all of the Philippines, a spirit of kindness and hope that cannot be found anywhere else! Filipinos have been under restrictions and suppression for centuries and to maintain the spirit that they have is beyond any religious doctrine, fear or lack of ability, it is who they are as a people and a model and example for the world.
Miss Pea you just made me very happy with your gesture. I met my asawa while she was selling BBQ. Thank you for being so kind.
Wow you such a kind hearted person. Her normal days pay was 600 pasos and you gave her 4000 pasos and gave the food to the needy too. You should be called Saint Pea. God bless you Pea for your generosity.
You mean “Saint Filipina Pea” right😉
Black market food vendor in Cebu? You really made that vendor lady's day. Awesome interview video...
When I found out her story (some of which I couldn’t report), I was even happier that I helped her.
Pea is the perfect lady, kind in spirit (and very cute in those shorts with her shapely figure)!
Hahahahaha
Well I’ll start working out again just to be sure, but my spirit will never change 👍😊
Relax John 😇
@@jtb1245 he is speaking the truth, the way he feels, no BS. Nothing bad said, speaking like a man. :)
Good afternoon from Las Vegas, Nv., USA. Pea. You bring tears to my eyes every time you come up with these kind of stories. Thank you
You're an asset to your community Pea! It's people like you who truly makes life worth living. 💖
I admire you very much pea. Today's video had made my eyes watery. Salamat po for helping ate.
You are proof and testament on how good hearted and kind Filipinos are.
Pea have you ever thought of making a video of the people living in the cemetery?
Thanks Javier! I’d actually like to make that video, yes 👍
You don't have to look far to find people struggling to just make ends meet. After my wife arrived here she shared with me that she had never experienced the ability to wake up and decide what she wanted to eat. In the Philippines you wake up and wonder if you will eat today. Thanks for showing the true situation there. Ingat!
Jeramie is part of a non-profit that helps an orphanage in Daanbantayan. Thank you for he reminder of why we're truly here.
You inspire others with your generous heart. God Bless You!
Thank you for helping this lady Pea, if only more people were as generous the world could be a better place
You are doing it again, Pea...showing real life in the Philippines! Salamat Pea!
Thanks Rog - that’s my job 😊👍
Indeed, Pea! You take it very seriously!
You humble hearted person ..
I wish being there and help people like you do ☀️
Pea your an angel sent from heaven...
I think we all will agree that seeing someone use their channel to help others is the most rewarding thing we can do. You are actually having an impact on peoples lives. I wish you the best Pea.
pea I am so glad I found your channel. you always make my day. you get better every video. the world need more Pea.
Well I’m certainly happy you found it too 👍😊
Very touching video. You are a beautiful soul Pea. The world could do with more people like you. God bless you
Pea, you inspire me. I can see the joy your receive is as great as the joy you give to those in need. You are my hero.
🤗❤️🤗 such a generous soul ❤️
I’ve always hoped I was ❤️
I feel for those people. God bless them always. 🙏🙏🙏🤲🤲🤲📿📿📿📿
It’s tough to watch sometimes, yes ……
Ms. Pea your compassion towards so many in need is heartwarming. I feard for your safety though, it could have easily gotten out of hand. When people's rice bowl is empty, sometimes things and go terribly wrong. Please be safe Ms. Pea
Thank you for not only sharing this lady's story, but also for showing us your beautiful and generous heart Pea. God bless 💖
You got a good heart pea I’m glad there are people out there that still care giving hope to those who don’t have anymore nice Pea.
A very touching and heart-felt video, Pea....you are a very kind and thoughtful person, and your love for your Philippino brothers and sisters is obvious... you are making a difference....keep up the good work...you are blessed.....
This is one of my favorite videos, you embrace your community and utilize your success to create opportunities and inspire others. I love how you masterfully allowed her to share in giving by asking her to help pass out the food for free to others so she could experience the power of giving. You are 100% awesome and one of my hero's, thank you Pea!
I can't believe people like pea still exist
She's really a special humanitarian
She got her heart at the right place I'm really touch...well done I wish you lots of happiness...💗
This reminded me of the time I was inspired to give a similar amount to a person on the street, something like a day's work, on my way to a now departed friend. When I told her, she said "are you crazy, this money would have been so useful to me too". Having said that, I am a charity these days and all moneys donated go to a free food project: free food for me!
Another heartwarming and compassionate video, from the lovely Pea. You continue to pay it forward, and inspire all of us with your generosity.
Excellent job as always. 👏👏👏
I have to pay it forward, because you know how bad we Filipinos are about paying it back 😂
Pea , you are truly an inspiration of the kindness of the Filipino culture
Nicely done Miss Pea.
I always pay it forward when in the Philippines.
More people should try it.... it is a great feeling seeing the smiles (even from under the masks)!
They are amazing survivors... but a little unexpected help will make their day!
Miss Pea sets a great example for others.
pea you have a heart of gold , the government needs someone like you , i vote pea for mayor and one day i will vote pea for president of the philipines
Wow Pea, these videos always touch my heart. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Sure, John! It’s good for people to see real poverty, so they can appreciate what they have 👍
The world is a better place because of people like you. I respect and admire you Ms. Pea! You have a good heart and soul. Thank you 😊 . Some day you will be rewarded for your giving.
I already am! My channel has let me get to know all you fine folks 👍😊
I will always support your channel Pea 🙏, listen up RUclips there are not many people in God's beautiful world like Pea she is truly special and definitely one of a kind ..
*I LOVE YOU Pea* for your selfless charitable act.
I send money each month from the UK 🇬🇧 for a single mom and her teenage daughter, and it has helped her obtain a teaching diploma, privide for her daughter and help with living costs.
Now THAT’S real help 👍❤️
How much did you have to give each month to make that possible, if I may ask.
@@ukulehrling it’s none of anyone’s business how much he sends, thank God he sends something, I wish I could do a onetime something too, it’s just that I am more afraid of the way to get money to anyone person or persons.
@@ukulehrling Initially P5K, for the past 5 years, then doubled it to P10k this year because her child is a teenager, and cost of living is increasing rapidly. You need to find an honest person - that's your main problem
The last segment sank deeply in to my heart and soul. I have no words...
No words needed, Bubble - I know how you feel 👍❤️
Wow. Great video. Thanks for using your platform to spread an important message.
I’ve noticed in the Philippines people always have a happy spirit no matter what their circumstances are .
There's a special place in heaven for angels like you your heart is is always open and truly gentle with love for others 💕 God bless you and give you happiness and joy as you so willingly always give and share with others Respectfully Robert
Thanks so much, Robert 😊👍
It's such a shame to see so much poverty, but it was heartwarming to see what you did there. Keep up the great work.😘😘
This touches my heart to see pea helping the way she did here in this video. My girlfriend is Filipino and I know how hard it can be out there. I remember helping a few people out there when I visited
You are a beautiful person with such a beautiful heart. It is always a pleasure watching your videos and sharing them with other people I know.
Pea, you were truly a blessing to that young lady. Keep up the good work and I am sure your channel will continue to prosper and grow!
Thanks Cedrick 👍❤️
It's always good to see your videos you good heart keep it up
It’s always good to see you in the comment section, Don 👍😊
Your generosity never ceases to be amazing
A great act there, Pea. There’s no way for a westerner like me to understand how bad things must be during Covid elsewhere, but the care you have for your people is inspiring.
That was cool Pea. It’s horrible what they allow to happen there. If I remember correctly the Philippines is the highest educated, most tech savvy country in South East Asia, yet they can’t keep their citizens employed. When you hear it on line, it’s so unbelievable it sounds like a scam… but then you see it. It’s simply beyond words. Thank you for showing it.
Painter! Good to see you back 👍👍👍
It's called corruption and most of the people there don't save they spend like water no money smarts overhere.
@@oroville12345 when you generally are making enough to feed your family and buying goodwill cloths you don’t normally have much money left to save. My favorite memory was that 7-11 required a college degree to work as a cashier.
@@wardcummins8736 it might be happening in most of the world. But it doesn’t make what’s happening here any less awful. In fact the sad thing to me is we (US) are heading that way faster than we want to admit. College tuition debt we won’t be able to pay off in our working career? Isn’t that a lot like going to college only to get a job at 7-11
Wow Pea, you have such a kind heart.
Good job Pea. Witnessing your generosity is encouraging others to do the same. Salamat.
Wonderful video Pea and marvellous help for that hard working lady.... God bless her and you Pea.
You are very inspiring Pea, a role model for every filipina, truly living up to a true filipina women values caring and sacripicing for their families, more power to your channel, my respect to you! ❤
Thanks Angelo! We’ll do it again soon, too 👍😊
Miss pea again you did a super video. Thank you for showing a real story of real people. Not some video of fancy restaurants or fancy resorts period even though I enjoyed those videos also. But I do enjoy real people. Thank you for buying all of her food that made her day. You're a good person Miss p do not ever change
I’ll never change - as long as you don’t either 👍
Again you show such kindness. I’m always impressed by the resourcefulness of the Filipino people in their ability to survive. God bless you Miss Pea for your kindness
Pea. A beautiful heart within you, sharing and caring. God bless you in all your works.
Nobody can save the world but everybody can help one person. You are a force of good lil Pea🙏 And (as a pilot) you're a hot flight attendant 💜
Exactly, Ken! Just try to help one 😊👍
See the good!
Sadly us Westerners struggle to understand the hardships the people have to deal with on a daily bases, in the Philippines or many other Asian Countries for that matter... we are so spoiled, I know I am, living here in Australia on my pension that is not a huge amount, but enough to get me by... thanks Pea, I need to be more Thankful, Grateful & Humble.... Cheers
Thanks so much for watching and understanding, Kevin 👍❤️
Such a kind, big hearted woman. You set a great example.
Another wonderful gesture Pea, the one thing that has always stuck me about Filipinos, is how hard their life is. Even when they work hard, there is often small reward. It’s a good thing that they are blessed with such spirit. Well done for what you do .
