Thats the way filipinos are. Experienced it myself in yhe phillipines, And since im half filipino half swede, ive always had that thing, to always share my stuff, dont know really why, and give people stuff simply to cheer them up. Even to strangers. But back here in sweden, ive sometimes get people to react with suspicion, witch sometimes hurts, theres no hidden agenda here, im just brought up to be a giving/sharing human, and because im a fillipino :), we all just live once, why keep it till we die.
All Saints day is a holdover from the Spanish days and the catholic church. Family is Very Important in Philippine Culture. This applies to ones dead relatives as well. Because the family unit is so closely held the general belief is you are not truly dead until those living forget you lived. There is a valuable lesson westerners can learn from this mindset. It's all about the almost forgotten concept of RESPECT :)
+Art Garcia 'hey joe' is the normal thing to hear from everybody everywhere when addressing usually a white foreigner. You are on your own with what you say 'hey what's up' as that would probably generate a reply and could go further into conversation which most filipino fear to do laughs. But hats off to you if you're doing that as foreigners will be glad being talked to. The 'hey joe' people usually balk at additional dialogues worrying of their english but the smiles are enough to display the filipino hospitality and friendliness.
Great video. Love it whenever he raises his right eyebrow, and when he does it, my eyebrow raises too. Lol.it synchronized. Haha And the "Hi Joe!" thing that is true. I remember when I was younger whenever I see American's I will call my friends then we will count, 1 2 3 and say "Hey Joe!" then will shut our mouth if the white guy turns around haha And you forgot something, Filipinos during Christmas Holidays attends to mass 9 days before Christmas Eve, we call it "Simbang Gabi" or in english Mass in the Dawn, or in Spanish "Misa de Gallo" I believe that's what it called. Its fun. Christmas is a looooooong holiday to Filipinos. :) And I like the first part of the video, wheb you say "very very" in each of your adjective. Haha and I "very very" thank you for those good comments ;) Over all, I love your video!!! Way to go dude!!! God bless!!!
I am an LDS :) From the talk of Elder Brent Neilsen last Area Broadcast, he said there are three things about Filipino attitude that he was able to observe. HOSPITALITY, RESILIENCY and GENEROSITY.. I think I would agree with him. :)
God bless you! I remember those days when we gp to the cementerio (cemetery) and it's an all day affair...we bring candles, flowers, food and stuff to clean our relatives grave etc...I missed the Philippines so much...our custom and traditions...hoping to go on vacation in the near future.
often, Filipino calls Americans as Joe. I'm not really sure where it was really originated, but here's a thing... we Filipinos call ourselves as JUAN pronounced as WHO-ONE...
+Iya Agravante I live in the province and we never call Americans Hey Joe! I think that is just a thing of the past already. We might live in the province ( Pangasinan ) and we are very much aware of what's going on around us.
A lot of good deeds Filipinos had, but I want also to adopt the American mindset of how to have a good physical planning & environment. Population control should be instill to people's mind especially to poor Filipinos. Having pristine environment and serenity will be a thing of the past if the population density will not be controlled especially in big cities like Manila or Metro Manila where traffic is unbelievably crazy .
at some point you almost uttered a tagalog word. i'm wondering if you know some tagalog words? thank you for such kind words! and thank you for sharing this video! all the best!
"Araw Ng mga patay" is like the movie " Coco" Disney... We pray for our dead love ones/ancestors in the hope that they will go to heaven with the help of prayers.

+Iya Agravante i live in the province(pangasinan), and i have never seen someone here calling an american/foreigner "hey joe!"
+Iya Agravante I live in the province and we never call Americans Hey Joe! I think that is just a thing of the past already. We might live in the province ( Pangasinan ) and we are very much aware of what's going on around us.
