I am from the United States, I am dating a girl over there in Maasin City, southern Leyte. I've only been there once, but I am home sick to go back they are the most friendliest and kindest people I have ever met and I have driven truck all across the United States and met a lot of people but none as more warm and welcoming as the Filipinos.
I think Tim K lives in that area of southern Leyte or close to it - Maasin City.

enjoy leyte
Did you have children from your dating with Philippines girls?
My girl is from the phillipines too. Super nice people . Always laughing
My wife always thinks it is funny when foreigners say how happy and nice the people are. They treat foreigners much different than they treat each other. Much of this kindness is fake. Sorry but this is true and most locals know this. Like foreigners who make videos of asking for food or a place to spend the night. Ya....ask a Filipino as a Filipino for a free place to stay for the night and they will tell you to get lost. Half the time we go to a restaurant they ask me what i want to drink and walk away. Stand in line at a hotel and they will often skip over the local filipino who was waiting before you and rush to take care of you first. This is special treatment but if they do not treat each other with this same kindness then you should realizs it is not real.
Love the Filipino perspective. Makes so much sense.
White ppl dont understand the privilage they got when travelling there. My skin color is brown. In from malaysia. U think they will treat me the same as they treat white skinned foreigner when i go to philippine? Hell no lmao. Even in malaysia they treat white foreigner better. But to their own people? Haha lol
I left in 1979 as a kid for the US and never went back. I remember how the poor were treated and how they lived. They are worst off than our homeless in LA. I don’t buy this kindness crap. The rich will let kids go hungry. We Americans sent $$ and goods during the typhoons for the displaced but the rich and government stole from the poor. No fear of God..
I mean she aint lying lolol
Does this apply to the men? I mean, they don't offer themselves to local men nearly as easily or frequently as they offer themselves to foreign men?
In places like these, you see a gal you like, you talk to her parents and explain that you want to take her out to dinner in town, and you take her. The rest is...well...nature taking its rightful and expected course. You'd be surprised how easy and quick, if you've got a certain way about you, it is to get with these gals.
I visited my gf in the Philippines, and she is not coming from a rich family, nor her neighborhood. Coming from NY, and working in 500 million companies, never brought me the happiness I found in Philippines. I slept on the floor, carried on buckets of water, cooked with firewood, making kanin, and so on made me understand that happiness is in the people's smile.
I am coming back to Philippines with the same enthusiast as a child. Thanks Philippines.
True, but just watch out for that dried fish. 😱
Sleeping with that woman has you wide open. Those folks would switch with you asap.
Hope you would stay happy forever in the Philippines 🇵🇭
I'm married to a beautiful woman from the Phil's from la Carlota city negro's Occidental. I LOVE the Philippines.
The fake smiles you mean? Why don't you leave your dollars at home and go live like them, work like them, struggle like them, and starve like them for years and then come back to this thread to talk to us. One thing is coming to the Philippines on vacation with your pocket full of dollars and returning back to civilization after a short stay and another one is living like a Filipino. No Filipino is happy; it's a mask. They just have resigned themselves to poverty forever and are dealing with it the best way they can.. Money is everything. Money makes you happy whether you want to believe it or not, whether in NY or in the Philippines.
Honestly, if it weren't for its women, I would have never come to this landfill. Make sure you don't swallow water when swimming at the beach either...
I was born in a place like that oversees. Living in Boston now.
My birth certificate, to this day, says my parent's address as 'shed without a number or street name'
Never thought too much about it until my late 30s when my job wanted my birth certificate translated for a background check. When I was reading it translated to English it kinda hit home and brought all the memories I had until 6 years old.
Had no clue how poor we were until many years after we left the slums; everything seemed normal.
I thought the entire world was poor, so there was no reason to be sad.
I know exactly how those kids feel.
I was born and raised in America, and I’ve ALWAYS been sad and angry of not having better things, even though I have a lot. The whole point is to feel good, but only 1 way works. I wish I could feel happy with what I have, or less.
So what? 'Poor' is mostly a state of mind.
@@JayDee-b5u chill out
As a Peace Corps volunteer to Liberia Africa......I lived in the most remote area ..... Ziahtown One hour drive in the high bush country....from Zwedru. Grand Gedeh county . No electricity.....no water in the house. Walked 400 meters to wash my cloths by hand....down stream and got drinking water from the house roof or up stream where people washed cloths. Mail once a month. A car came to town once a day. I really enjoyed and got to know the local people ! I was the only white man in town.
One morning......since I was a distance runner.....while running I came up behind a young mom.....she had her child strapped to her back and a large bowl of palm nuts she was carrying on her head. I scared her !!!!! She dumped the nuts.....ran into the bush to hide. I didnt know what to do ! I called for her.....she finally came out of the bush. I helped her pick up the palm nuts. She left with a smile. But I felt so stupid.......foolish for scaring her ! After that......I made loud noises so they could hear me coming before I got near.
Poor........means nothing...... its a way of life.....no different then being rich.
Very nice explanation
As a filipino / cebuano, i admire those foreigners who try their best to understand our english and doesnt give local a hard time speaking to you in a well constructed grammar.. most of the foreigners visiting the country really thought that filipinos can understand english pretty well so they just talk and talk like they are speaking with natural english speakers in america..
I work with lots of people from Philippines here in America and I am always very respectful because they are some of the nicest hard working people.
A lot of Filipinos actually do speak really great English, some not so much it still needs work, and a fair amount don't. But really it's not like when you go there everyone is just struggling with English, nor is everyone perfect English speakers. It's more of a case by case scenario than a standard rule of thumb. Currently in the Philippines right now in Cebu, I noticed that city dwellers tend to have better English than the province dwellers.
Thank you for such an insightful video. I spent 15 months in the Philippines, back in 73' to 74' while in the Service. I married a Filipina and we are still married today. We are in our 70's now and in all that time she has only been back there once and I have never gone back for various reasons. To this day, I miss the Philippines. Living there was one of the highlights of my life. I wish I could go back, however because of age and health reasons, that is unlikely to happen. Seeing this video has brought back special memories.
This video is not insightful; it's very disrespectful for the poor people. They also deserve respect. Who among us will be happy when strangers just come inside our homes and start filming? I rebuke this colonialistic behavor
@@孔恩德 shush
....I agree 100% 👍 you are right...I'm an American and live here in the phils, and hate to see these guys walking through their whole house filming and embarrassing them, and being sooo dis- respectful.😢
That's my wife's neighborhood. I've been through there. Yes, extreme poverty but some of the warmest and friendliest people. I have ever met in my entire life. I have always felt safe there. As they'll tell you when you talk about the poverty with them. Then you say you guys are always happy. They'll say to me smiles are free. What else can we do? I love my Filipino. She's so good to me. Her family is beautiful and she did come from incredible poverty.
The most important danger mentioned here are the mosquitoes and if there's a river or slow nearby you need to really be careful or you'll end up with dengue fever. I had it and a friend of mine had it three times and nearly died. Worse than covid🙏🙏
Thanks for the heads up.
Does that mean that the locals have a built immunity to that type of fever passed by mosquitoes?
@@maylin1986 sim isso mesmo no Brasil tem dengue também porém só em algumas áreas específicas com dengue porém a imunidade passa de pai pra filho o filho já nasce com imunidade
@@maylin1986dengue kills thousands of Philippinos every year,especially children I believe
@@kaizennojujutsu6134 What?
You did good man! Especially given the trials of trying to find them and get there. I know how tough that is! Some tips is to ask a different local for questions before hand to ask and keep them in the back of your mind to keep the conversation going.
Some ideas for future:
- who built this house, family member? Who fixes it when things break?
- what do you hope for your daughter/son?
- where do the kids play and do they ever get in trouble?
- how did you and your husband/wife meet? How long ago? Blah blah.
- does all family live here or in another barangqy? (Usually makes new conversation)
- is it safe here do you hear crime?
- what is your family favorite dish for Fiestas?
- where to sing Karaoke?
I screemshotted this thanks if u hear these questions in the future you know where it came from
I must admit that my first trip to the Philippines completely changed my life and my outlook. My then partners family lives in a similar area in metro Manila, the amount of looks I get as a white foreigner walking through these neighbourhoods was unnerving at first but now I actually feel safer there than any big city stateside or in europe. The people of the Philippines are a true god given gift to this world❤
Amen to that..im mexican and I attend a philipino community church here in United states.. I have nothing but love for philipino people .. they are by far the kindest peoples I've met in my entire life
Hahaha 😂
@@Ninimara952Yes I agree 😊
@@PatrickFDolanget lost asswipe.
When I got back from Mexico to my home in Upstate NY, I heard some of my coworker's kids complaining about what they do not have and the hardships. So I said: "I was at a place where the house had a dirt floor and one lightbulb in the center and an open fire for cooking on three stones in the corner of the house.. No TV, no phone, no nothing, just people living the life that they have. You should spend a week there to change your perspective on life." Some of my coworkers have been to Puerto Rico and think that that would also be a great teacher for the kids, but that was like living in a palace compared to some of the conditions in rural Mexico back then.
Unfortunately that’s the condition due to all the Americans that do drugs.
@@One-12937 My experience was in the 90's. The drug penetration was not the same. These kids needed cable packages, CDs better sneakers, superficial stuff.
@@gibblespascack1418yeah, it was way back in the 90s too. Political instability in Latin America by us special interest forces.
I have a friend today who is from Mexico and he showed me a picture of the family home in Mexico well it was four lifeless trees stuck in the ground and a piece of tin to serve as a roof and his mom still lives there. And yes his mom is very happy.
Poor people shouldn’t used to teach spoiled brats ‘a lesson’.
They aren’t something people with money should use as a lesson for their kids :/ how insulting
Not to convince anybody about the kindness of the Pilipino people, but for me, it is real on the basis of my long experience as a traveling truck salesman in the Philippines. Knocked on strangers homes a number of times for shelter on some stormy nights and requests granted. Just be respectful. I am of Pilipino heritage.
Another good vlog Scotty. Seeing the 2nd mothers face light up when you asked her How happy she will be when he husband returns she replied "Very Happy* It was very sweet. I really enjoyed the ending of this video, You walking alone through the Barrangai and the music was perfect. The people of the PH really are "AMAZING". Thanks for sharing.
I certainly agree with this comment
Im a Filipino, born 1997, moved to the US when I was 9 (2006), I’m now 25y/o. living in Los Angeles. To tell you the truth, majority of Filipinos living in poverty like this town look at foreigners as a source of income, a way out into a better life. Hence why they welcome them with open arms. Although the moment you disrespect a local, the entire town will turn on you.
Off topic… I almost got in a fight with a foreigner during my vacation in the Philippines just a few months ago. A female foreigner tried to reserve a seat on a ferry by throwing her bag onto a seat that my friends and I were about to occupy. I threw her bag onto the ground and cussed her out. “You cant be doing that shit here. Go back to where you came from if youre going to act like that,” I told her. The other filipinos around just smirked in agreement to what I just said. Then I think to myself that if a white man said that to a foreigner in the US, consider that man CANCELLED. Thats when I realized that most Americans lack a sense of patriotism. Thanks to mass immigration no one really knows what being an American is…
I am southern ute and taos pueblo
Other than my race there are no americans
If whites or anyone else wants to consider themselves americans they can pay their backrent first
Until then they are anchorbaby descendants of squatters
My wife is filipino so what do i know ....im a race traitor
I think most Americans have patriotism, we're just berated constantly and called racist (including by many Filipinos stateside) if we were to say similar things. For instance, saying such a bold and aggressive statement is something a Filipino would only consider in the Philippines, because in any western nation it would've likely resulted in a pretty nasty fist fight.
That's one of my biggest issues with many immigrant groups, they expect insanely tolerant people in the west yet will shit all over tourists in their ancestral homelands.
I am originally from India and the most biased, nasty and racist people that worked with were NOT Americans but other immigrants especially from Phils and how they would gang up against you and corner you. It happened to me not once but at few places I worked.
@@adammcelwee8492 BIG FACTS! That is why East Asians and Arabs know how to treat black and brown migrants. You don't be nice. See Westerners have been too nice to and it's not reciprocated. F 'em.
@@adammcelwee8492 And you shouldn't worry about being called racist. Tell them so what and F off back to where they come from.
I understand your documenting poverty and survival. People in Canada or the USA cannot grasp the lack of economic opportunity and the depth of poverty in MOST countries. I leave tomorrow for El Salvador again where I will be taking several stacks of small bills to bless the impossibly poor I encounter. No I am not Saint Brian, but the Great Pumpkin blesses me by my generosity.
While you're there, can u please stop the caravans of people rushing the American borders.
We, the US, gave El Salvador 67.2 million in free foreign aid in last recorded fiscal year. So rather than subsidizing them again please by illegally crossing border please spread the word we're getting very pissed off here
Well even if he didnt, there are tons of filipinos that record walkthroughs of the worse poverty their country has to offer on a daily basis, I dont understand the point of that though, its just ammunition for people that are haters of the country to say negative stuff about.
Thanks Scotty for shedding light on real poverty. There's people that have a car and a big screen TV that think they are in poverty in the USA
u fucking amer*cans die without even a bread just taking drugs like bloddy bastards
The way neighbors, friends and extended family congregate without a feeling of intrusion or annoyance is such a wonderful aspect of the Philippines.
Back in 2018, I was in Tabaco City in the Bicol region to watch some bladesmiths repair my friend's machetes. I brought my digital SLR camera to take some pictures as they hammered away by the fire.
Before I knew it, a small group of curious children came around the corner to see who I was and what I was doing. They wanted their pictures taken, striking all sorts of goofy poses to see who was pogi and who was pangit. They would laugh at eachother staring into the camera screen and do it again.
Before I knew it, half the barangay of children and teens came by and I was taking everyones pictures with their families and groups of friends. Kids were jumping around dancing in the street. My friend, a former ball room dancer, had dance offs with the more skilled children. It turned into a real spontaneous block party.
You could live a hundred years in the west and never replicate anything close to that scene. The filipinos are such jovial and gregarious people.
It's a shame how the US is now. When our country used to be just like the Philippines is now.
I had similar experiences in India ten years ago. Entirely families would want their photo taken with me. I was treated like some sort of celebrity.
@@MichaelMcNeal-di7qy I have mentioned on several Philippine videos in other channels about how welcoming the people are there. It's a true community, a lot like the US was when I grew up decades ago.
It's refreshing to see kids not indoctrinated into "stranger danger".
Spontaneity. Filipinos are fun loving people!
Money has arrived. That’s why
I am so impressed by your ability to speak constantly and with no breaks
@@Leo-de2qb i notice that too 😆
Very nice! I haven’t been to that area of Mandaue. I live in Guadalupe, Cebu City. Once a week I buy 30 kilos of rice and bring it to an area like that near my apartment. I let the older ladies take the rice and I bring some snacks for the children. I don’t give them money because I don’t know how strict the law is here. I can’t help everyone, but I try to do what I can. The Filipinos are very nice to me and welcome me in their country. 👍
wow when you walk into the barangay with the rice how do you manage to give it to some and reject others?
Seems like you have a happy life
As a Filipino, thanks for helping our fellow countymen. Most of them doesn't have opportunity to have a job. ❤ We appreciate your kindness, truly
@@Regular_Guyph I give the rice to different families each time I go there. I just ask the ladies to share with their friends. 👍
God bless you for that!
Scotty boy!!!! You have proven once again that a person doesn’t need $$$ to have class. I wish more people focused on the basics. Good video 👍
I love watching your vids. It reminds me a lot of Mexico. As a young white guy traveling around Mexico I had very similar experiences. Although the Mexican people are very friendly, I think you are correct saying that Philipino people might be the friendliest on earth! Keep up the great work my friend and SAFE TRAVELS!
Yeah if you continue to spend the money...😂
Mess around and disappear in Mexico😱😂😂 Be safe🙏
I lived in Mexico three years and Peru for 19. Went to the philippines in Dec. to get married....they are definitely the friendliest people in the world
@@mt.sinairefuge5360They are not friendlier than Europeans. The Filipinos you mostly encounter are peasants who think you will give them something
I think Philippine family’s appreciate you going to their houses and asking questions about their living and house
Philipina are the best people
Magandag Umaga Po! I lived at punta banda, Lapu Lapu. January of 2020, I never left Mactan for 6 months, due to the Rona. As I walked every day thru the barangay, I looked up saw my high rise condo. I have always wondered, what would Pilipinos think of me, as I lived the way I did. I left with some humbling and a better karma of myself. Keep showing the wonderful culture and people of the Philippines.
Mabuhay
*that same exact smile that every Filipinos have, i always see this type of smile from Manny Pacquiao and it's one the most genuine smile that I've seen* ❤❤
I'm from UK, retired to live in Philippines in my mid 40's. Best thing i ever did. The people make the difference.
How you retired so early?
The tricycle who didnt want to drive you all the way your destination and who only drove you half. Its all about negotiation. You should had offered him 50 pesos because he was worried about not having enough gas or any customers on the way back from a small town. Just a FYI in the future buddy👍
I always wonder how the parents ever have intimacy in such sleeping quarters. My wife who has 9 sisters and one brother says they all slept in two rooms and when they did wake up in the middle of the night to her parents enjoying each others company they just pretended to be asleep.
These are the best people in our world. Humble and always grateful for whatever they have.
I absolutely LOVE how you interact with everyone , this is what traveling is all about. It shows you are interested in their customs and culture.👍👍🍀🙂
At least in the Philippines, the government allows the poor to cobble materials together to create un-permitted simple dwellings, Many are constructed on government greenbelt areas where these communities form. In the U.S., the poor are not allowed to do this. Instead, they wander the streets, sleep in tents and cars and are continually subject to "sweeps" by law enforcement, so in this way, the poor in the Phil are better off then the poor in the U.S.
Where in the ID are families like this? You are talking about drunks and junkies
I always find it so amazing how happy people are being poor. That's something a Westerner would have a hard time dealing with
Wenn man keine Perspektiven hat bleibt einem nichts übrig ,im leben ,ohne Zukunft .Westliche Welt ist Stress Frau und Mann müssen arbeiten gehen ,um zu Überleben ,da bleibt wenig Zeit ,immer zu Lächeln .Armut ,macht Freundlich Hoffnung Träume ,was Freunde betrifft und Lebensfreude ,sind die Philippinen ,eines der Besten Länder ,auf diesem Planeten
To some people this may seem like poor conditions. But for me I see it as home and unity. Whereas many families in western countries are scattered and away from eachother look at this wholesome and humble family living together peacefully. They have eachother and thats all that matters. Maybe the west needs to take a few notes.
😂😂😂😂
Right
Why government is not taking any action to improve the infrastructure and basic amenities.. people shouldn't have denied from their basic living standards..love to Phillipines ❤❤❤
easy USA GDP= $25 trillion ,the filipines GDP=&1.4 Trillion$ its a 3rd world country, they don't have the $$$$
As a filipino i am sick and tired of this poverty porn plus poverty tourism. This is an opportunity to the government not to do their jobs for the thought that this will answer poverty.
How can there not be poverty?
@@Regular_Guyph..he's saying you are exploiting the poverty for financial gain (via views/clicks), which is a common thing here in the Phil. Doesn't seem like you are doing that though except for the title
@@redpillsatori3020 it's exactly what I'm doing but these girls asked me to do it bcuz I paid them.
I dont want to put stigma to you guys but some of these schemes are exploitative.
The poor girl will remain poor, then the content creator will profit not only hundreds but thousands of money.
@@joseflorenciojr.4346 but there is no good solution. I suggest you talk to the girl and see what she wants. The reality is via this video she met a boyfriend. Her slum house is being demolished right now. The bf rented another house for her family. So what if I had not done this video. Would you be the one renting her a house? No you would not. She is living her life and making her own decisions, not you. Why I must waste so much of my time explaining the realities of the world for all you weak minded men who feel sorry for everyone and everything in sight while doing zero to help.
Scotty, people may never realize how much effort went into this video. Great growth in both your style and effort. Hope you get a million vies on this one. Mike and Arlyn
Your "business idea" goes right along with something I have always said and believed should be a requirement. Every kid in the US should be required to spend several months abroad in an impoverished country in order to graduate high school. It would create a much more humble and grateful society here in the US.
Glad to see your back!
I was stationed in the P.I. Naval Hosp. Subic 1988-1990. As poor as these people are they sure do have a good time with life. I was and still am amazed at how happy the Philippine people are.
Growing up in So. Calif my best bud from Mexico, since grade 2. We grew up together, he had 9 siblings, 4 boys, 6 girls, me with 4 siblings. Our dad's worked together for a bit , but we all would go down to Mexicali, back then for weekends. Went to his Grandma's "ranch" in the boonies, or in their house in town. Same poor like Phil's. Spent so much time there experiencing the harsher way of life, made me KNOW, I could handle the simple, province life here in Phil's.
Love it, just hard at times getting down off the mountain, into the city for things lol Especially, after the rains, dirt path to a road, gets real slick n muddy. Been doing things here at our new house to improve a few things. Bought a new roll of black hose (300 meters) to run from the nearby creek, to our house for our water, to bathe and do laundry. Better than the old leaky hose. More drums for storage too hahaha Tabo Tabo.....
Do drive thru a lot of barrangays on the way to the city, and to our main "proper" of town always fun in town here, people getting to know me I met and talked with the local Pulice as well. It's amazing seeing where some people just made up a place to live along some of the mountain roads here !!..............It's cool ya got to do a walk about in Mandaue , ya lost weight bro, from all your walks of course lol.....
It's not illegal to give money but it's not wise to show u have money, it could bring trouble, gangsters or pickpockets. But that was mostly in Manila
Good job, scotty on filming this. You really do a job job exploring the real lives of the filipinos.
I brought my son to Philippines on my first trip. He experienced slums and regular areas. He says today, thirty plus years later, that his visit changed his life, for the better. Now grown, with his own family, he is going to come over and visit me again.
it must be easy to be happy when you don't have to work a 9-5. i realize that many of them DO work and help the family business or whatever to make some money, and that living in poverty is no easy task, but i've been there, jobless, no money, wondering where my next meal will come from, where i'm going to sleep that night, and i can honestly say, it can be much more fun to live that way than living in a nice house of my own and having a steady job at times. it really depends on the people around you in both scenarios. it's always all about the people.
Giving money to a Filipina is not illegal. If paying for certain things it becomes illegal
Refreshing to see a youtuber break out of the expat bubble and engage with real Filipinos
Agree! 👍
"real filipinos"? You mean the only real filipinos are the poor ones? Living in the slum? 🥴
That going to house to house with no problem was a fond childhood memory of mine in the Philippines. Me and my friends as children often will watch tv shows like anime or power rangers as a group and it's a quite an experience with all the cheering and chatting.
I feel like a lot of their reactions are more exhibition like because they know you're rich/American. I would love to do a little experiment where I show up to a community like this with a friend from there who tells them that I'm from a respectable but modest family in the US and due to political reasons I can't return to the US and need to stay with them for a month. I'd love to see the change in their reaction to watch what it's like when they don't treat you like anything special but rather just a community member with responsibilities
My fiance she is from Zambanga Del Norte South from Philippine. People are awesome, friendly, kind 👍🇵🇭❤️🇺🇸🙋♂️
Stops and bends down to pet the white dog at 3:58. Good people like RG always take an extra moment to be nice to animals.
They don’t have much but they seem very happy. USA has changed a lot. I’m 66 and grew up in Texas. I knew all my neighbors. As a child I was welcome to walk into any neighbors house without knocking anytime I wanted to. I ate many meals at neighbors homes. As Kids we played games all day. When windy we’d fly kites. One game with BB guns was a little dangerous. The rule was only shoot people below the waste. I got hit in the face a couple times with BB’s. It was a fun childhood. Neighbors had lots of animals like rabbits, chickens, cows, horses, pigs etc etc. I had a pet cow that would let me ride her. This cow belonged to the dairy farm next door. She’d come to the fence so I could get on.
Well, that's literally TRUE...Indeed the Filipinos are always HAPPY,
My heart cries to see the misery that still reigns in your country. I am Italian. I know the Philippines very well. I'm married to a beautiful woman from LA UNION. And even though she is now 63 years old she is a flower. - And I lived in Pasig. M.M. - I wish your country can improve as soon as possible. I LOVE ALL Filipino people. May GOD be with you.
Been here for 4 years, giving money to locals is not illegal. This reminds me of when I first met my wife's family, a little different as they live further out in farmland but much the same. The kids are always curious who the big 6'2" white guy is for me just like you. Also I saw the warning of low hanging fans lol. Gotta watch out for cloths lines too. I am going to sub and check out more of your vids. Showing the true story here in the Philippines is needed. Good job.
Those low-hanging fans are designed to stop if they come into contact with anything. They're made of soft plastic and very much harmless.
@Sonny Azurin until they hit U, then they are tougher than U!
I remember walking down an unpaved street in Davao City and there were two little kids walking towards me, and I knew that in the Phil's, it's not about skin colour, it's about nose sizes, so I knew that the kids would stare, and when they got near their eyes went down, so when I got level, I grabbed my nose and made a horse neighing sound and they were suddenly not shy at all!
Too hot a place for me though.
Great content!
Great job Scotty I was in tears and happy to see they are living life not life leaving them
@@johngreen1907 😆 🤣 😂 😹
All Poor people are very friendly because that's a technique to lure you in giving them money.. Filipinos, Africans etc poor wit large families nothing wrong for them
Unfortunately or fortunately, this is the part I love about the Philippines. It is the place where you feel the most welcome and comfortable. I learned this by chance among the Badjao in Cebu. No they don't have much. Yes, they want to share. Yes they are happy. Maybe less really is more
I'm from the interior of Sarawak, Malaysia, I'm very amazed to see this situation and it's fun to see people here, because our way of life is almost the same, the difference is that I live in a village surrounded by thick forests, here it's packed with development and settlements, it's interesting to see.
Iban? I went to school with Iban people.
I had been planning a move to the PH prior to the "global Medical emergency". Needless to say, I was delayed by several years. After bouncing to 8 different countries (mostly SE Asia) while PH laws relaxed I have finally made it here. I had a much different strategy than most gringos. I opted to head north to cooler climates and avoid all the Expat BS. I’m in a small town now where I am THE ONLY GRINGO and have been treated like a king. And I got a nice country (providence) girl that is incredible. So If cooler temperatures (78 today/rest of PH 97+) head north, but bring a positive open mind and please MIND YOUR MANNERS, we are all guest here, bad manners affects us all. Now I can finally honker down and continue to get to work done on MY youtube channel now that I here!
Congratulations Sir, sounds like you're living your dream!
Your in Baguio now? I plan to head there in 2 months

@@bigmikessenioradventures Since you are in Pattaya now. Do you think Filipino girls give GFE better than Thai girls?
@@johnny_bravo9990I don't do working girls. I prefer ladies' with real jobs. I would say as a whole PH gals are a better choice PROVIDED you get a "providence" girl. Language helps a lot
Your Phil Donahue interview skills are Impeccable thanks Scotty Boy for another entertaining Vlog.
*I was just randomly watching RUclips videos about foreigners in the Philippines and their experiences, and then suddenly this video pops up, and I was like hmm interesting....*
*In the 16 seconds mark I was like, this place looks familiar and then I was like WTF this is where I always walk to and from school a long time ago, haha, the tags didn't even include the actual place, this place @**00:39** was once full of water from the SEA, now it's full of houses, haven't passed there for a decade or so.*
*Me and my classmates used to cut classes, and go on an adventure walk on the same pathway the right side was already part of the SEA back then before it was reclaimed, it was beautiful, ah the nostalgia, thanks for making me remember.*
I wish i can experience Philippines like they do its just so friendly, so much kind and hospitable personality and attitude and behaviour. Im leaving the west to move to Philipppines.
Awesome video, thank you.
They nice to you because they see you as a free walking ATM
No problemo it's better than seeing me as a homeless piece of crap
@@Regular_Guyph Ah yes that's true. But not every person that's homeless is a piece of crap.
I mean you are doing great work, interviewing people from all walks of life and situations. It shows a different side of Filipino culture that the regular media doesn’t want to show you. It makes me happy that despite our cultural differences you can still find common ground and understanding.
Hey Charles thanks for
love the way you say, bout who and what real talk is,, Filipinos on the level you showed are the true ones and are the jolly ones too ,thank you for accepting the real deal,
i agree with your idea... let those fortunate kids meet the less fortunate kids of their age..so they wud appreciate what they have.. filipino kids are the best.. good luck
Great video, it was good keeping it real...I too was born into poverty but having grown up in the West was my good fortune....these families have nothing but somehow are happier than the average American family....I have a Nephew who will not eat chicken with bones, only boneless chicken...breaks my heart as they've never known poverty, and are unappreciative of what he has.....yes he needs a tour of this neighborhood....when I return to the Philippines I will do your suggestion, visit similar neighborhood and will send to my Nephew and my adult kids...
Philippines, is small country with big number of population yet, there are too many immigrants coming and the government were assisting refugees and even poor people helped. Imagine in metro manila alone of not more than 700 square miles the population is more than 21 million, could you imagine what will happen to them? This is the reason since the time of Duterte, the government gave housing for resettlements in nearby provinces to uplift the lives of these poor families, most of them came from rural areas thinking their lives will be better in urban areas but, to their surprised it becomes worst as they have no knowledged to handle the advance life in metro manila so, most of them ended up squatting.
Content King, Well done Scotty. This how they roll. I lived in a house like that in Tikyan Mandaue with a Ex GF for a month. Slept on cardboard and bathed in the alley. Immersing yourself like this is the best way to learn the culture.
Cebuuu!!!
She didnt really seem that friendly and welcoming to you like others. I just found this channel.. i enjoy it
I love to see all the kids! Kids are fun no matter where they are from! Enjoyed the vid! 👍🙏❤️
You should give them some money
I did give to each of them
@@Regular_Guyphthat’s good
Another great video. This is the type of stuff I enjoy seeing how real life is in other parts of the world.
Das ist ein wunderbarer Film. Ergibt einen aufschlussreichen Einblick in die Lebensweise eines Teils der Bevölkerung der Philippinen.
I am in LapuLapu about a mile from u and this is a very typical PH home visit / living situation.
6 8 10 12 people all sleeping in an open sided room or two.
This area was totally smashed by Odette about 16 months ago so imagine all that sheet metal flying around at 120+mph
Amazing people culture life in a lot of ways
And been here 6 months now never see PH people fight or argue in all that time - a few stern words at worst.
One of the guys on my Cebu ice hockey team here said it best - guys come here thinking this is a different country - its not - its a different planet :)
Wait... Cebu ice hockey team?? Seriously?? Where and when do you play?
Lmao!
Ice hockey team !
Great sport, good luck with it!
@@johnlacey3857 SM Seaside has a rink on the top floor play saturday mornings most weeks
will add a way to contact later
yeah i know crazy to play in cebu :)
It’s a very poor country but the people are very friendly and welcoming, it’s also a very beautiful place and everyone seems happy, I was there in 2020 and had a great time, my wife is Filipino and we were visiting family, everyone went out of their way to make me and my white friend Mark who’s dating my wife’s sister feel like royalty, in a couple of years we will go back but this time we will also visit Thailand.
Thank you for another great video! Poor philippinos are allways the friendliest. I miss people like this. Problem is only to find places like this in case you go for a 2-3 week trip to the Philippines. I do not have the option to stay as long as you, unfortunantly.
By the way - charity, in other words giving money away is illeagal. Some people tried to earn money from it (exploiting the poor), that is the reason they tried to regulate charity. Unfortunantly now people like you who only want to help others might get in trouble for it.
Yes they like getting money from North American suckers. All you have to do is go to a middle class group of Filipinos and they are only going to acknowledge you for specific reasons, just like in your home country.
Actually I love the phillipens so much I am getting a house built there and going to retire there my wife is a phillipeno woman and truely she is the best woman I have ever known
Make sure she actually owns the land , & I have heard of many stories where life can be made difficult ,I thought she was the best woman I ever knew too, yet they can cut you off & out in an instant ,
I've seen so much of this in the Philippines ,Zamboanga Provinces.. The happy people just to be living . I just got my new passport application today. It's still beautiful living with people.
The moment I saw there caption "dafuq am i supposed to say" i died... you're a legend, and thank you for giving a real look into another world. Stay safe.
Oh man. A rough little shack in that climate with all those little kids around. Looks like absolute hell, yet everyone is so friendly and hospitable. Truly amazing people!
Why would it be against the law to give someone money? I don’t understand that…
Yeah, that part about money was really weird. Like, you're hiring them as fixers for your travel video on your monetized RUclips channel, so you can get shown around a neighborhood you don't know. This is perfectly normal.
You don't see much of the real life of people in SE Asia. You did a great job, I love your human empathy for these people. It's not always the case as you know. Only thing you don't capture is the Oder. I lived there so long I can smell it from the pictures. Enjoy yourself Scotty - Thanks for the insight -
You can see plenty of it on PH, Philippines is the most transparent country I have seen with even locals exposing their own worst condition areas, I can direct you to several content creators that do walkthroughs of the most poverty heavy areas in the country.
This is an excellent video and nice to see another Scotty video!!! My brother is in the Philippines and I hear from him often, but I usually spend summers in Mexico given it is closer.
Me encanta la alegria y ospitalidad del pueblo Filipino hojala salgan adelate
Regular creep strikes again, going for the flirtatious high five with the 11th grader 🤦🏻♂️.
11th grade? More like 5th buddy, you mustve been out of school quite some time now...
@@drewgrimm2586 either way I’ve lost all respect for regular creep. Dude has absolutely no game, looks haggard and is hella socially awkward, just bumbling around random Philippine villages repeating “peeperinos” to everyone he sees.
Lindas las 2 muchachitas filipinas que te acompañaron, tuviste suerte de encontrar gente tan linda..
Yea but all filipino women are little
I think it is illegal if you give to beggars. Cause it looks like youre encouraging them.
But if you give to "friends" then it should be ok.
😊
okay i can work with that
Filipinos might be poor , but A Smile is always on their face.
when they say "cousin"...that could mean anything including just a neighbor that lives next door.
Cuz in Hawaii means you’re about to get beat up.
At the end of the video, the message is so beautiful and it pains me alot to see people suffer like this everyday, many of them might not even have a choice, an opportunity to change their lives for the better. Sometimes I wish I could be rich and perhaps open a foundation there, to help those people in need to pay the tuition at the school, help find a job, have agencies working with us to make that happen, even give some food for free or at least for a very cheap price (food that otherwise could be wasted by restaurants and super markets or something like that). But this is just a dream sadly, hope for the best for all the people in the world that live in these kind of conditions...
This video is an eye-opener! Poverty is a complex issue, and it's important to raise awareness and empathize with those facing it. Let's work together to create a world where everyone has equal opportunities and access to basic necessities. 🙏🌍🇵🇭
You are dreaming , Bro!!!! That's will never happen... Huge gap between poor & rich countries even rich countries become poor and it will get worse....Welcome to the 21 Century .
Poverty Is Eyes Opener But Family Planning Also A Eyes Opener Dont Having 15 Child If You Are Living In Poverty
Speaking of showers, I wonder how they keep clean? Maybe the river, but I would worry if it’s used as the community septic. In any case, amazing how little you really need to be happy in this world.
Can't believe that it was shot in 2023. It feels like it takes you back in the 1980's
Interesting way to see it. It's true
Awesome content, mate. Thanks for showing real life. Helps make us all grounded. Keep up the great work
I love the bond of the family n neighbor. They're very close in situations

Barangays in the PH have the people with most genuine smiles. hey homie, take care of yourself! You are becoming a Pinoy very soon. :)
Great video Scotty boy. Really enjoyed it. Thanks
I too love the Philippines & the people being ever so friendly
