I didn't realize just how much there was to the Dumaguete City 'area' - just in the N alone ! -- WOW -- The rest of the City is quite substantial also. > There is so much more there than it 1st appears. ( ? ) - - - A tremendous collection of eateries really spread out along that strip !!!
My take is: the food sucks in the Phillippines. The suffering and poverty there will never end. To live there you must ignore the hungry kids, suffering animals, etc. Who the hell can do that effectively? I will never set foot here again. Same thing in Costa Rica, Peru and Colombia. Ive lived in them all. No more Third World living for me.
Yeah it's sad looking around seeing people live so desperately in absolute ignorant bliss not knowing that everything has been tarnished ie food, air , environment, making them trapped in an endless cycle of being unhealthy, sick n brainwashed by their faith that they hope will save them n justifies all their desperation.
@@davidbyrne841 Ah, the epitome of condescension wrapped in self-righteousness. Must be nice to sit on your high horse, judging an entire nation while conveniently ignoring your own contribution to global issues.
@barrybrierly9536 if you're not up for the realities of life beyond your bubble, I'm sure those countries won't be missing your presence anytime soon. Enjoy your privileged perspective from afar.
@karenmoreno so you're judging me on what I feel, that I shouldn't feel that way. It's an observation of mine. I have lived in China and seen their culture build cities n lift their standard of living from a time when they ate bark off the trees to survive in the 70's to now where they have as technically advanced cities as any in the world with rising wealth n good standard of living. ( if you come from the cities, rural areas are far behind but still a lot better off). The Chinese government are less corrupted by American influence but also the people work very hard, all of them! They work n work n invest wisely. They sacrifice spending for having fun now for for a better future. The Filipinos have a different culture, they mostly believe in having fun now and believe they will be rescued in the future by their faith. So unfortunately the miracles never come and they never get ahead much if any ( unless one goes abroad or they are just the small minority who save and invest). I don't think you can call it judging, its an observation, the privilege I've had is that I have travelled and lived there and other countries and observed. Sorry if it offends you. I didn't say I don't like the people and have met some great Filipinos. Culture has a lot to do with a countries fate I believe. I believe the Philippines has been exploited by Amercan capital interests, where global companies rule.
@@davidbyrne841 Oh, so because you've visited China and observed their progress, you suddenly hold the authority to pass sweeping judgments on the entire Filipino culture? Contrary to your distorted lens, Filipino resilience isn't about waiting for divine intervention but battling odds stacked against them by global powers - a concept seemingly lost on your privileged voyages of self-righteousness. Traveling doesn't grant you a PhD in societal analysis. Your observation seems to conveniently overlook the complexities and histories of both nations. It's not just about working hard or having fun; it's about systemic issues, historical legacies, and global power dynamics. Your glorification of Chinese progress overlooks its own systemic issues and oppressive regime. Your privilege of travel doesn't justify oversimplified and condescending views.
I hope to visit this place someday, thanks for the video and take care !
I bought a vacation/rental house before Northpoint. It's amazing how fast it has progressed since 5 years ago...
