#Philippines #mountains #travelling
This channel is still not monetized but with your help we're getting close so thanks for spreading my videos
wow..I am from Philippines , and I have few friends in Toledo, but I do not know exactly where this place is. Don't you know there are a lot of wonderful places in Toledo? I hope you have visited those places. Have a great day! thanks..
@@KensSociety Thanks, I hope to more of Cebu and Toledo in the future
I rather live simple life than having a big mortgage and paying my credit cards.
Life in the west is stressful
The reason why i left my work abroad and go back to the place where i can live simple life with my family, we face lots of struggles in here but not as big compared if you're in the cities that causes a lot of stress.
long time ago we love to come to the Western world but once we live all the hassle and stress it's not worth sometimes..it is convenient but I missed my childhood life...I can not wait to half way retire in Cebu..
I'm with you.
I'm in Australia with an unrealistic mortgage and I can't wait one day I'll retire and drop dead... yay.
So pretty and quiet😍😍😍😍i love place like that......they said money can't buy a happiness.....
I think you're right
it's really true what they say... you're actually happier with few things, because when you start getting more and more you can never feel satisfied
I think so. People strive for wealth and money but they are more happy living the simple life
they already have natural abundance that is alive and far more fulfilling than the material nonsense that are not alive and only good for the eyes.
MADE in PINAS yes it’s true in the province , you don’t have enough money to buy good things but you can still eat 3x a day , mostly organic food and enough internet for Facebook , yes a natural abundance I agree with you.
no wonder why the western world is plagued by depression and anxiety

YOU ARE RIGHT. EVERYBODY IS TAKING A HAPPY PILL EVERY MORNING ONCE THEY ARE AWAKE.
The place is beautiful 😍😍 mountain,river, green grass and beautiful people ❤️
So true!
Why do western foreigners always in shock and stereotype this simple and humble people and call them poor, they might not be financially secure but they are rich in culture and happy, they have nature their family oriented and the location that provide them food, fresh air, no pollution, stress from a modern City or Industrialzed Country..To my opinion Money can't buy Happiness. I love Cebu, Philippines..
That's that I admire about them, their life and village. Some people seem made to enterprate anything they see negatively
I have an answer to your question, but you must have an open mind to alternative views of other cultures. If you are not able to do this, then you will continue to only see your way as the only and best way.
First, if you don't travel, it is very difficult to understand why other cultures see and live life differently from the way you and your family have always seen life. A good example is the children's story of "The country mouse and The city mouse".*
In the Western world, a child is taught from a very young age that everything in life must be worked at with your best efforts. You are taught to work as hard and consistently as you possibly can. My parents always stressed that we should always do our best if we wanted to succeed in life. This starts with loving your family and the work you do around the house, to school, and on to work and your own family. We are taught that the harder you work, the more successful you will be. Not doing so only leads to failure and that is how everyone will see you, including your own view of yourself. This culture of hard work for success in life can lead to stress. Stress harms the body, mind, and relationships. Still, this is our culture. It is quite a choice not everyone can manage. Many fall through the cracks of this way of seeing life. You will see great success with many that live this way, but you will also see great failures. There are many people that fail and live in deep poverty and despair. Many people end up having a short and physically and emotionally stressful life.
Because of colonization, this culture has been forced on the rest of the world, resulting in very rich countries and very poor countries. Often poorer countries are constantly taught (told) they are poor because they don't live like Westerners. Westerners are constantly taught (told) that we have the best way and the poorer countries are poor because they choose to be poor, by rejecting our cultural philosophy. People, in general, are like sheep. We tend to do what the majority does and how they think. No one wants to be the odd one. So, we live as our neighbor does, even if that isn't the life we would like to have.
Although, I grew up as a "country mouse", I have had to live the city mouse way of life. It's a very hard life. I dream of living in the country, but there are no jobs there. You can't advance your children's future as well as your own. This is why so many of us are now finding our way to places like the Philippines. For those of us with small pensions, we have found that we can at least survive in the Philippines without living on the street in poverty, as we would in the Western world. This does not mean we are rich, but it means we can have a bit more than the average person living on such a small pension. It is true that many Westerners make a lot of money, in comparison to the average Filipino, except in the West, such as America, everything cost a great deal more than it does in other parts of the world such as the Philippines. An example is the cost of a lofe of bread. In America, an eatable lofe of bread will cost you around $4 or about P200. That is just a lofe of bread. By the time you buy enough groceries to make a meal, you have spent a great deal of your paycheck. Then you have all of the other expenses most Filipinos don't. Everything cost so much more, so than by the time you pay all of your bills and all of the other things your family needs to just survive, there is nothing left. So you stress until the next paycheck. This can be a very difficult life. Heart attack and strokes are the number one cause of death in America.
Even though I grew up in the country, the Philippines is more like the country for me than where I grew up. In comparison, I am the city mouse and most Filipinos are the country mouse. Many of us (Americans/Westerners) yearn for country living but it rubs against a lifetime of a culture that insists that we stress for life. When and if you move to the West, you will quickly find yourself caught up in the same stressful state of mind. We don't look down on those that live a more simple life, we just have no way to live that kind of life where we come from and neither would you if you live where we do.
So, is your lifestyle better than ours? The answer is not as easy as yes or no. If you are happy, you are happy, where ever you find yourself. If you are not able to handle the conditions you find yourself in, then you are most likely unhappy. Poor is poor, no matter if you live in the West or you live in South East Asia. Richness can be seen as a state of mind by some, or loads of money and possessions for others. I prefer a little of both. One thing is for sure. After knowing what I know of the West and the Philippines, I would rather be poor in the Philippines than poor in the West. In the West, a family like the one in this video making brooms for 25 pesos each, lives a much better life than an American making many times more than that per day. Many Americans making much more than 25 pesos for every 30 minutes to an hour, would live in the worst of conditions.
I hope this touch on the subject helps Filipinos understand better how foreigners live and see life from how Filipinos live and see life. I lived for 6 years in the Philippines and never could get my Filipino family to understand the differences. I think you need to travel to understand better how others live and see life around them.
Maybe this video will help a little. It is a version of "The country mouse and The City Mouse". There are other versions that may be better. You can search them out for yourself. ruclips.net/video/1Ef_SbmNNi8/видео.html
Why does some morons always see the negative no matter how positively this video actually is?
Ask yourself that question instead
Yes very peaceful and quiet
Excellent video! I live in the USA but have visited family in the Philippines on vacation several times. It is one of the best places in Asia to visit, the people are friendly and giving, the food is great and PI has some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for feedback, I hope to keep uploading more after the lockdown is over
This so-called poor people in the province are far more happy free stress than those people living in the big cities. Besides, this people will never get hungry coz they have plenty of foods to eat. Such as, coconuts, bananas, root crops, vegetable, fruits, fish, few to mentions. If there's a great depression in the city. Only the people in the province will survive.
Thanks for the awesome look into the village life. Cool
Huwow! Tunay na kahanga-hangang lugar ito 😯
Excellent video thank you for sharing 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
What a fantastic video, thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a beautiful view to lived there.

Bacolod is on Negros, right? There seem to be some nice areas and beaches in Negros

@@dodznb238 Thanks for feedback, I hope to see Bacolod soon
I remember my province Catmondaan, I miss that kind of life. Now I'm here in the states and counting the days to go home and retire. Nothing really beats simplicity.
I hope to see this again one day

we call it tiger grass, actually most of us grow it and sell it per bundle..
The grass he makes the broom with?
Is that because the tigers like to hide in it haha xd xd?

Are you in the US working but you are Filipino?
Wow
Thanks for sharing, looking any more videos from this place?
Yes, the video called Amazing girl climbs papaya tree. This video is from the same village
Simple life is datisfiying no shiny materials things that you dont realty need it
I hope you share some of your blessings with this community that is sharing their daily lives with you. Subscribed and thank you for sharing.
Thanks, I felt a little awkward at the time trying to show what I bought but I will actually start actively spending some time with a variety of charity work next time going to the Philippines. Probably not the same village though
👍
@@MattiAceIRL yeah you have to help them coz you're trying to get money fro RUclips by using them.
beautiful place may i know the exact place maybe i can take a visit .amazing
This is outside of Toledo but I couldn't find my way back there or describe it. Good luck
❤🎉 농막 하우스가 멋집니다 ❤🎉
Same same life in the hot tropical climate.
I miss you cebu ❤️
I think Cebu misses you too 😉
Our barrio in Bohol Province was similar to this, very spacious, peaceful in the early 1970's. But gradually the town population expanded and started reaching our barrio. Today there are hardly any vacant lots in between houses going towards town.
Sounds nice, I can't wait to visit Bohol
That will be the problem,if people abbuse the place and the natural resources
Odd that this sounds but my people hail from Cebu-Mactan, actually-and when I went to search for the family it was so tough! All I saw everywhere that I had looked there were foreigners staring back at me as if I didn't belong! Nary a local (man) to be found outside of the airport porters. Wow!
i miss the music. around Christmas time.
Nice video
Thanks
Tnx
2:05 lol nice you noticed that
Poor or rich it those not matter you cannot buy another year of life.
🙏❤️❤️🌲🌲🌎 keep our world green and love everything and everyone ❤️🙏
Appreciates your effort to promote cebu province in positive way. Glad to hear interested individuals who love nature. I am also developing natures way of living home in very practical and budget way.
So nice of you
Wow India north east and Philippine same
I guess I've gotta go to India too =)
This kind of video must be at less 20 minutes.
I can't wait for the Corona crisis to be over so I can make more similar videos for you and I will try to make them longer, thanks
Wow ang ganda naman po jan
Please tell me what it means in English 😀
Wow ang ganda naman po jan it means "wow so beautiful there"
@@Isaiah_ZacharyOfficial Thanks, I wanna learn Bisaya at some point (or maybe this is Tagalog?)
That blade was so sharp at the end
I think so right? I don't know how hard banana trees are
🥰
"poor community" secluded up in the mountain, and they speak and understand English,
How cool.Thank you for featuring the mountainside of toledo and their way of life there.I was born in toledo.😄..You seemed like enjoying your stay there.Who wouldn't though when you're this close to nature.Did you just stay there for a quick vacay or you had properties there already?
Thanks for feedback!
I was only in the mountains for a few days, swimming in the creek, eating fresh papaya and it was my second time in Toledo. I have a few more videos from the same village.
I hope to go back again soon and then I will stay much longer in Cebu and do a lot more Philippine vlogging
@@MattiAceIRLWhat an adventure.It's amazing how you got to experienced those things.Nothing beats the province life/countryside life.
Very nice place, is this the same place where you made the video about the girl getting papaya?
Yes, same place
I pay $7.50 each for this sweeper in the U.S. That craftsman gets 50 cents!!!
Makes you think about the unfairness in the world
I got one more comment still I'm making a house out of bamboo I would like to have it made out of wood good wood
We call it tambo.gras..mura..ah
Someone said tiger grass?
Wow good adventure .. God bless more power... From Joseph acaba catbalogan samar # youkizz TV...
Lol selfpromoting much?
Most people mistake a banana as a tree. My dad was the one who corrected me on the fact that it is a herbaceous plant (herb) not a tree because the stem does not contain woody tissue.
I will try to remember that it was Alex that taught me what's what with banans
Lol
I think he said P75, not P25. Because when the broom sold in stores in the city, they cost P100 already.:-)
Actually I think he only gets 25 from those 100, I will have a look on the original file =)
More like hills than mountains and how you could stand hearing that loud noise they call music I do not know.
Dude with the brooms is like, "Do I come on YOUR job and ask you how much YOU make?"
Dude with the banana tree is like, "Tell him it's for the pigs. Maybe he'll leave us alone."
That's just you being in the western world for too long, people in the Philis are very openminded and they love it (normally) when you bring up the camera. Very different from EU/US
@@MattiAceIRL I guess I'll have to take your word for it since I haven't gotten there yet. Friendly people may BE foreign to me.
Ok
Hello po bagong kaibigan po. full support. Sana makadalaw kadin po sa channel ko
I could live in a nice Nipa hut with insect screens a little solar power for lighting and for fan a few pigs goats. Chickens and garden could live easily for 500 us a month
I the Philippines you will get away a lot cheaper I think, are you talking about the US?
@@MattiAceIRL I'm talking about living in the Philippines on the province living 500 us dollars a month
@@joelmonkley6177 That should be easy don't you think, if you're willing to live a very simple life. I mean if the living standard you see in this video is something you could accept you should get by on less than half of that
unsa nga barangay sa toledo?
I wouldn't mind living like that but I do like to have a TV and electricity though and maybe toilet paper
They do have electricity, toilet paper...I didn't see it at least haha. Nature =)
where is this exactly in Toledo ? thanks.
I can't explain it exactly, a ride on motorcycle and a few hours walk up in the mountains
I think it's from sibonga cebu
It's from a little south of Toledo, not sure of the name
Magtanum
Banana is plant not a tree.☺
Hahaha, I'm Swedish and we don't have those treeeees here. So it's a tree to me ;)
he said he gets 75 for a broom. not 25
I think it was about what he gets to keep from the actual sale we discussed. Sry, this was some time ago now =)
Lets be friends jo
Take us to marijuana plantation
I will if I find it =)
Tanx man😚👌
Catmon Cebu is it?
it's to the south of Toledo, not sure about the name
Asa ni dapita?
Please, English 😉
Cebu

The philippine eagle's habitat is gone.....
I really hope you're wrong, that's so sad
@@MattiAceIRL i'm certainly wrong when i said that in here...but yeah, the environmentalist are figthing for thr preservation of the few remaninf forest the eagles. Constructing access road to the mountain top is not good for the environment...
@@osbornwais5257 I hope they preserve the beautiful nature of the Philippines
If you compare villagers in the Philippines with the villages in other countries in Europe and east Asia are just the same. We only wonder why if it is about Philippines, foreigners always use the word poot for those people living in remote Philippines. It is because the Filipinos themselves and media who describe themselves as poor since Filipinos are full of complain.
Excuse me, where is Cebu?
Cebu is an Island in the Philippines, it's also the name of a town on the same Island
@MattiAce IRL I know Cebu is a Philippine country. I want to ask you if you are a native of Cebu?
@@user-oh1nw3yi4p I'm a native of Sweden, I hope to move to Cebu eventually
I am Chinese, because I can't go to Cebu because of the epidemic, I want to mine in Cebu. Do you know anything about Cebu?
@@user-oh1nw3yi4p Mine? Mine what?
Next, you'd be encouraging them to sell thier precious lands to foriegners. Leave them alone.
I couldn't buy their land even if I wanted to. Foreigners who come to my country, commit crimes and live of our tax money can buy land in my country but Philippine law prohibits my from owning both land and property in the Philippines
@@MattiAceIRL It's nice to know. Thank you
@@MattiAceIRL I think foreigner can own a land if they married a local
@@bellamichs5887 yeah
@@rosselvillego9072 Yes, and what that actually means is that the foreigner pays for the land that is then owned by his Filipina GF/whife and her family. So many ignorant and emotional foreigners has fallen for this trap. Bying land in the philis is nothing else then giving a gift to whoever actually owns the land
hahaahah living poor but rather modern sound system... bwahahahaa!!! I live in australia with a 4k car and a 2k sound system. My old car, I had this joke.. you want to buy my sound system, it comes with a car!!! (car was worth maybe 500, but the sound system was 1,500)
Watch ILOILO SOUND SYSTEM or CEBU sound system .or Dinagyang battle of the sound 2020
They treat you well because they want something from you.
You nevenr know until it's too late
It's not true..they are the once being used for this RUclips for his personal benefit.
Come to Philippines.maybe your experience in other country is not good .
I see it as peaceful, but still wouldn't want to live there. No Health-care, no Employment unless you want to chop sugar cane all day. That's why so many philipinas come to America.
"Civilized to Death" Christopher Ryan. Capitalism is the crisis!!!
Na, people trying to promote something worse by blaming capitalism instead of improving capitalism is the problem
I recent the fact of you saying that the people are POOR they are not poor there is abundance around them. Your thinking is very western basing not having money is poor I bet you wil not survive in a day in that place inspite of your having lots of money in your pocket. Stop categorize people. Just look at them they way they are
The problem here is people like you will always find a way to flip everything you see or hear into something negative, I loved this place and the people and there's nothing condescending about it
These are all lies
