It’s refreshing to see a Philippines expat vlog talk about substantive topics, instead of endless videos on dating, budgets and gossiping about other expats.
Thanks...I've talked a bit about budgets...But the idea of the channel isn't always "selling" the idea of moving to the Philippines to foreigners. We have a tendency to pander as vloggers whether we are aware of it or not...
@ yes, I think part of the problem is there are too many expats now, and they’ve brought their bad habits and attitudes with them that aren’t compatible with Filipino culture. For example, not being polite, embarrassing a Filipino usually without being aware of it, drinking alcohol all day, fighting with other expats, being condescending to Filipinos because they have less money… things like that. I’ve lived in the Philippines for 15+ years now (9 on Cebu, 6 on Palawan and now living on Panay) and I’m still learning from them about family cohesion (something most Americans can learn from, since our culture is sick and the nuclear family has been devalued). And they’re remarkably resourceful and cheerful. I also have a Filipino crew member on the ship and he’s loyal and polite. There’s always a few bad apples in every bunch, but for the most part Filipinos are remarkable people.
We, Filipinos surely appreciate your kind opinion towards our people. I'm a Pinoy-'Cano from Mesa, AZ...and yes I'm stressed to the core about dealing with my life in the US. Eventually I am going back home where I originally came from - like the rest of my people.
@petedinglas968 Most Pilipinos have no idea that the Lord God had prepared the land for His second coming. Matthew 24:27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Psalm 37:34 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. Isaiah 60:9 Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.
Filipino's secret is Jesus Christ is Lord here in the Philippines,the "Agape love of Christ overflow in our hearts to love fellow men❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
america used to be like the philippines...especially when it comes to family and family values. but like anything becoming a super rich country changes everything. reconnecting with good values from the past and slowing down and smell the flowers of your success... expensive things doesnt always equal happiness. dropping high tech gadgets and start connecting with real life nature and mentally and spirituALLY...will do good to ones soul.
So true, America is rich but you see more homeless here than the Philippines. And yes, if America and Philippines shares the good and bad and willing to work on it then yes it can become a truly both a paradise places ❤
I like it that you're really educating expats about Filipino values like kapwa. It is deep and connects with other collective culture values like bayanihan, and other interrelationships within the family and relatives to people within the community and outsie of the community. That's the reason why Filipinos are hospitable because of this deep rooted value anoit kapwa.
I truly appreciate your candid spirit. Excellent context. Thank you for keeping it real and speaking with such honesty. I echo your appreciation of our resilience and contentment in the simplicity of life, which is deeply ingrained in our DNA.
We're a Filipino family living in the US. Even a lot of Filipinos here have adopted the materialistic culture; brand new cars, big houses, etc. We own two 14 yr old cars, very little debt, life is good. Totally agree with your observations about simplicity, cohesion and caring for one anither.
This video gives us a glimpse how Philippines and America being liked minded and liked brothers are learning from each others. Thank u brother and may GOD BLESS Ù AND YOUR FAMILY AS WELL AS YOUR CHANNEL.❤😊🙏
Filipinos have struggled for so many decades from the colonization of western countries... After the liberation... filipinos gained our independence and strived and lived with our means. We save and never wasted food and if we have more than enough we share it to others. ...etc. in poverty you will learn how to survive and inspite of our challenges in life we always thank God. Thousands oof Filipinos in America is going back home....
@@mhay515 if philippinese people hate colonization of western countries, then why most philippinese still go to western countries to work for a living? And why you philippinese people always thank god for not doing anything to elevate your situation from poverty? Why most philippinese believe in god when none of them can even prove the existence of god?
Sir, everything you have shared are really true about our Culture and we are still standing, even,what kind of problems,we are facing,yet, still, you can see people...smiling fighting the situation, Even "The deadliest Typhoon" we can't or don't afraid of it,for the Lord our God Jesus Christ is with us!!! Godbless you Sir and your family! In the mighty of Jesus!
Filipino culture is best culture in this planet, Thats why foriegn visitors in Philippines got amaze to what they witness and experience in the Philippines,Anyways thank you for this positive feedback about Philippines
@@IkwenTro what are your basis that led you to believe that philippinese people have the best culture? If they have the best culture, then why they still practice the barbaric tradition of cockfighting and dog meat consumption, is cruelty to animals a part of any good culture?
to see different perspective or point of view for americans towards filipino culture .... i like your video... Similarly many filipinos who worked and live in Japan then retired in the philippines have adopted some japanese culture...
I think it’s because we Filipinos suffered a lot of life’s challenges that we don’t have anybody to turn to but our own family that makes cohesiveness more evident among family members.
I agree with you it all start within the family and if children/siblings having a good culture and values as the basic foundation of how they've been taught and brought up. Specially the "kapwa and bayanihan" It makes the community more safer and prosperous as well.
@igorivanov-c4o have you been in the philippines? If yes, kindly describe or explain how was your life being treathened or the danger that you experience.... and i think america has.the.highest record of homeless people than the.phils.... people being murdered and abuse by your own police who doesn't care of your rights is that how you define a safe.country?
@glenncassion9183 America is safer than Philippines, the Americans have respect to the rule of law, whereas, in Philippines, the cops are abusive to the people they ought to defend and protect. Philippines has a high rate of crime and has no functioning justice system, thus, the icc has to deal with their ejk. Moreover, the philippinese are people known for corruption, incompetence and blocking your driveway, they are not considered smart people because they don't know how to manage trash and they have a habit of urinating in public places.
❤❤Thank you for sharing this perspective on a very important aspect of the present-day Filipino culture with its spirit of bayanihan and treatment of others as "kapwa-tao". I suppose our history before we gained our freedom as a young nation after World War II and our being disaster-disposeddue to natural calamities help to bring out our resilience as a nation. We also had political issues but our faith is our anchor.
That says a lot. Some of toxicity and problems usually comes from family and often bring it 'till they grow old, but if we could at least respectly talk it through and settle it then it's good. The most smallest and fundamental community in a society is the Family. If you could at least make your family relations better and pass the culture to your offprings then you are succesful.
Its true, when I was young, I was always taught by my parents to be contented with what we have. We are trained to be like that. I thought that was taught to all other countries as well. We are also family focus, all parents who have bigger land and can afford, they build house for their sons in the same lot or compound so that they got married they will not go away. The only reason why many siblings staying away because of jobs opportunity that maybe far from home.
I used to get 60-100 calls a day as a BPO or call ctr agent from Americans representing financial, airline, hotel and medical even Telco corporations. That and had an American sponsor in elementary. I worked alongside Americans as part of an animation company. What I learned about American values is quite telling! America in the 70's used to be a prayerful Christian nation. Then you guys even forbid praying in public . You mistakenly thought drugs as freedom of choice even when your government could see it's disastrous effects on kids and families. There is nothing wrong with giving up a little freedom in favor of gratitude to aging parents so kids can see in front of them that death is a natural process when we see it in front of us through grandparents and aunts and uncles.. I can't forget the calls I get of aging Americans getting lost on the road or freezing in the middle of winter- alone and begging me to call their son or grand daughter and for platinum card holders, we stay on the line and conference them with family or 911 in case they need more from us before d call is ended on our part . It never fails to break my heart and a tear or two would fall and I get too affected as I leave notes on the acct about the call.
I still have hope for America and still believe it's a good place...It's up to us to make our lives better. At least in America there's still more options for work and so forth.
But don't forget to praying God also mama Mary eveyday made rosary and confess to God then if you learn about catholi faith follow this punto por punto ok maybe all you understand all over yourself and life and all family ok God blessed you with family's 🙏🙏🙏💓
I think we can all learn from each other and try to create a balance. Filipinos can learn a little bit of independence from Americans and Americans can learn a different concept of supporting family from Filipinos. Filipino parents take it as their responsibility to send their kids to school until they finish college - generally, there is no kicking out a Filipino child from home until he/she gets married. Of course some children choose to live independently from their parents and its ok so long as parents are assured of their safety. The downside, there are children who never learn to be independent and become a burden even when they are married and have kids already. A well-off sibling would help the less fortunate sibling, often paying for the education of the latter's children or if they get wealthier than their parents, they would take the financial burden from their parents and pay for their younger sibling's education. Of course there are cases where siblings would fight over money or affection when jealousy rear its ugly head. Filipinos cannot even begin to properly prepare for retirement because not only siblings but other relatives sometimes also need financial help and because of our deep feeling for extended family, we stretch ourselves to help even when helping is counter-productive.
Because America is big progressive fully developed country lots of opportunities evry can survive etc, Philippines considered have not enough that's why everyone is clinging to each other closely for survival helping each other caring for old or siblings while in the US mostly leave them alone 😢
I just moved to the Philippines from Australia last March, never going back. I would give my life for these people, Filipinos are humble, kind and tough as F. They are also the best knife fighters in the world, they have great self respect and respect for others. Since I've been here I've started 2 business's and a Martial arts school. Filipino women are awesome they speak up to 3-4 languages English is there second language, a lot of Filipino women have University degrees and they live for their families and men and don't judge their men on height, looks, age or D Size. I'm 62 I come from a well educated military family, I've been sick three times in 40 years, I just got my black belt in BJJ end of 2023, and I do MMA, I've done Martial arts all my life. Filipinos can fight with nothing, and are deeply spiritual.
Bless you! But dont miss that something spiritual to be part of it. It is very important. You didn't come to the Philippines by your own self. You might have been called and chosen. The land is waiting for the Messiah - Jesus. Psalm 37:34 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. Isaiah 42:4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the ISLES shall wait for his law. Isaiah 49:23 And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me. Isaiah 42:10 Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof. You are in the true promised land. The servants of God to all the nations. When the time comes, this mountain (nation/country) will be exalted above any other mountain. Micah 4:1 But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. 2 And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
Your dating score with Filipino women goes higher if you can play a guitar or any skills in arts and craft, have a good sense of humor or can sing well.
You know what happened in L.A. now all are burning except one house that through becoz of believe on to Jesus Christ ok listen what i saying {n you now ok
You dont need filipino culture to make America Great again all you need is go back to where it sll began .. bring back the Bible to schools teach the fear of the Lord and also in each every home .. because we filipinos struggles lilke Americans do we can never be successful w/o God on our lives sir pls dont look at our culture look at Christ Jesus the Author and Finisher of our Faith and the purpose of every lives in this world why we live .. God bless ❤
Resilience is true with regard to Filipinos BUT it can be a double-edge sword too. It may also push people to have the 'bahala ba" or "pwede na" attitudes..come what may or adopt mediocrity. Nevertheless, it has plaid to Filipino survival.
Excellent analysis especially the materialistic obsessions and cars. Unfortunately the Philippines is getting too materialistic as well though to a far lesser degree
@@se_amable I don’t find his comment offensive being a Filipino myself because what he is saying is true. Look at how malls thrive even in provinces. Isn’t that already a sign that consumerism is pivoting towards materialism?
@@ChampOleb i wont argue with a self-hating Filipino. Plus malls are designed for Pinoys whonhave the purchasing power to dine out, enjoy and spend their family time outside of work. Its also a sign of a growing economy.
You mentioned about the PH not being great.... what is 'greatness' to you though? Higher economic status but living in fear? Being surrounded by people whonare angry or bitter? A materialistic lifestyle? a rat race culture? If being GREAT means having enough money, but being unhappy, then we'd rarher not have it.
@@poofum being great is able to defend your sovereignty, not be worried that someone is blocking your driveway, knowing that your surroundings are not littered with garbage by your neighbors who don't know how to manage trash, living in a society that people respect the ruler of law, enjoying an infrastructures that are not ugly and a culture that is not dominated by corruption or nepotism.
@@igorivanov-c4o hypocrite! Do you think your govt does not suck? that they dont steal and do not have corrupt minds? If you say they are not, youre either ignorant or a liar. And dont think I will be insulted by you. I happen to know how f*cked up Western countries are right now! In fact your countrymen are all flocking here in Asia bec they are drowned in debt and broke! LOL🤣 You have nothing to be proud of. You are the real THIRD WORLD! Get that, dummy!

You dont need filipino culture to make America Great again all you need is go back to where it sll began .. bring back the Bible to schools teach the fear of the Lord and also in each every home .. because we filipinos struggles lilke Americans do we can never be successful w/o God on our lives sir pls dont look at our culture look at Christ Jesus the Author and Finisher of our Faith and the purpose of every lives in this world why we live .. God bless ❤
Thank you GOD BLESS US ALL
You to!
Resilience is true with regard to Filipinos BUT it can be a double-edge sword too. It may also push people to have the 'bahala ba" or "pwede na" attitudes..come what may or adopt mediocrity. Nevertheless, it has plaid to Filipino survival.
Well as I said there's plenty of good qualities mindsets to learn from us Americans such as ambition and hard work and all that good stuff...
Sir I OBSERVES, about your consecutive coughings, isn't that??? You have a respiratory problems. GOD BLESS po: ✌️✌️✌️🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
No respiratory issues, I got the flu a while back but I'm ok. Thank you though.
Demographics alone cooked America
What do you mean?
Excellent analysis especially the materialistic obsessions and cars. Unfortunately the Philippines is getting too materialistic as well though to a far lesser degree
you always have something negative to say about my country. What's your problem, Gregory?
Dont turn bitter just bec you got rejected by a Filipina 🥴
@@se_amable I don’t find his comment offensive being a Filipino myself because what he is saying is true. Look at how malls thrive even in provinces. Isn’t that already a sign that consumerism is pivoting towards materialism?
@@ChampOleb i wont argue with a self-hating Filipino. Plus malls are designed for Pinoys whonhave the purchasing power to dine out, enjoy and spend their family time outside of work. Its also a sign of a growing economy.
if the philippines did not become great despite of their culture, then how on earth their culture can transform america's future?
You mentioned about the PH not being great....
what is 'greatness' to you though? Higher economic status but living in fear? Being surrounded by people whonare angry or bitter? A materialistic lifestyle? a rat race culture?
If being GREAT means having enough money, but being unhappy, then we'd rarher not have it.
@@poofum being great is able to defend your sovereignty, not be worried that someone is blocking your driveway, knowing that your surroundings are not littered with garbage by your neighbors who don't know how to manage trash, living in a society that people respect the ruler of law, enjoying an infrastructures that are not ugly and a culture that is not dominated by corruption or nepotism.
@@igorivanov-c4o hypocrite! Do you think your govt does not suck? that they dont steal and do not have corrupt minds? If you say they are not, youre either ignorant or a liar.
And dont think I will be insulted by you. I happen to know how f*cked up Western countries are right now! In fact your countrymen are all flocking here in Asia bec they are drowned in debt and broke! LOL🤣 You have nothing to be proud of. You are the real THIRD WORLD! Get that, dummy!
