    Another fascinating insight into your amazing culture and country. The keeping clothes on in the sea to keep skin lighter is baffling. I know alot of girls from south east Asia find lighter skin on other girls more attractive. I am so attracted to Filipina women with darker skin tone. Their beautiful smooth olive skin is one of their most attractive features 100% xx

    U know what baby girl, u r so right on. Ive been here over 5 years and i wish i would have known these things BEFORE i learned them the hard way. U really rock. Please mention if someone adopts u. U are stuck taking care of them and their extended family. I was sitting under a coconut tree and it tried to kill me, the girls next door came and pulled me out of the fronds and coconuts. Then said we better adopt u cause u need help here. That was 4 years and 10's of thousands of $ ago. 😂😂😂. But i love them always will too.

    Classic Pea. Great material presented in her style. Her English is great as in her English dialect and enunciation. Sometimes the word brogue is used. The word accent is also used commonly. Within Great Britain there are well over 20 major dialects of English spoken. So how does Pea do it? Beats me, but she blends many things nicely. Does that expression apply to the blending of her legs into her hips? Sorry. I could not resist. That is good also. There are roughly 30 dialects of English language spoken in the USA. Good luck melding those together.

I learned quite quickly to just say hi to anyone "looking intently" and they'd invariably smile and want to talk to you. When I was in a small town in Mindanao it was like the scene in Blazing Saddles when the Sheriff rides into town,not in a bad way though,everyone wanted to be my friend ;-)

    The peeing thing is so wierd. When I was there I met a very very cool 18 year old girl in Cebu who insisted on me visiting her family for lunch, on Mactan. When we got there, I was introduced to Uncle So-and-so who was in the act of peeing about a foot from their front door. The girl talked to him about his day like it was absolutely nothing. No, I didn't reach out to shake his hand. Anyhow I understood a few minutes later: their tiny house, in an overcrowded slum, had no running water (as well as no electricity and just a dirt floor).

    That was a very good video Pea. I have been dating a Filipina Lady in the US on and off for almost two years now. My ancestry is German and Italian and in our cultures we communicate very directly and occasionally argue about things. My lady friend communicates very differently from me as she is not direct and I my say something that she does not agree upon and she shuts down entirely. Indeed very different styles of communication from my background . I am from New York, we are kind of people that are always in your face and generally react immediately to situations. Back to my Lady friend, she is a nice lady when things are good between. I am trying to see things from another perspective. These videos always are helpful. Kind regards, Paul.

    Dear Pea, I love it here, I’ve been here 8-9 years. The people are basically innocent and sweet, which is astonishing when compared to the egoistic jungle of Westerners lives. There’s a precious thing that needs to be preserved here, is the inner heart-essence of the people, because I don’t wish it to be lost. I believe Mr. Duterte saved this country from Chinese drug lords, and I’m so happy for your safety! Please guard your Essences! I love you all, despite any flaws!

As far as South Filipinos they are easily manipulated by westerners when they come to America. Seems they feel inferior to American women. Law. Man haters. Etc etc. Hmmm. That's what I observed. I'm so mad.

    now I have for a long time seen how many comments you get on your videos and impress that you answer almost all or shows you have read them
    are there any here who know how many it is hmm I checked it all 63 youtube videos there are a total of 100510 comments it is absolutely wild
    if you use 15 sec. at each it is 419 hours it is an approx. 2.5 months full time job and this is in just 7 months and only on youtube absolutely incredible you can find time for it and at the same time you do research, planning, movies and uploading
    and then you probably also have intergram, facebook and other platforms you also have to update
    I really hope that people on this channel do not skip ads and they click on some too (guys it's a simple way and just 30sec to show a little gratitude for this great job and attention from the beauty Pea)
    how do you get time for all that ????

    It’s ironic that you made this video. I was actually in The Philippines 🇵🇭 a long time ago. Stationed at Subic Bay back in the 90s shortly after leaving Desert 🌵 Storm. I left on June 15, 1991 on the USS Midway and went to Okinawa, Japan 🇯🇵. I had a Filipina friend there and we were starting to get close. But she was using those facial expressions and hand 🤚 signals and I thought she wasn’t into me. And just let her be. All this time just to find out it may have been a good relationship and I thought she was rejecting me.
    But at the same time, she also worked there as a bar girl and was asking me for money 💰 a lot. So maybe it was for the best I let her go. If she really liked me, I would think she would have explained.
