A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A TRIKE DRIVER / A Tough Life In The Philippines
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 ноя 2021
- A day in the life of a trike driver is a tough life in the Philippines! Driving a trike motorcycle often means living in poverty in the Philippines, and hard jobs in the Philippines are more common than you might believe, but somehow, a happy Filipino is an even more common sight! Let's ride along for a day, and see what this man's life is like - and maybe make his day even brighter! Pay it forward, folks .... @TheFilipinaPea

Excellent practical educational info Pea!
As per usual… 😃
With the borders opening soon, at long last, this is an appropriate and very useful piece of information for newly arrived foreigners!
You think of everything, thank you.
And, as a, now, “classic Pea very generous act of kindness “ you so tactfully managed to provide this hard working family with at leat one monh of fresh supplies.
And the rest you certainly done off screen.
Thank you so much Pea .😊👍😇
You are the best Filipina ambassador!
Idol shout out pwd ba ka namo meet in personal in dumaguete
nice video, Ms PEA ..........a tough life or a good life is all depends on the person / family. Some people call it a tough life because of lack of money ....BUT ...,.,..other people say it's a good life as to be simple as poor. You know what I mean ? ..........................and ...................the ending is ....always .....Hilarious ...and ....make sure to have pesos with you ha ha ha ha ha
Hi I came across your channel by accident. You are amazing and very creative! I wanted to give you some perspective on race you may not have considered. I watch 2 videos where you talked about lighter skin and the history behind the preferences. I disagree with you when you say it’s just about preference. Everything has a root, and the history speaks for itself. Before the invasion of outsiders, the views of the people were not preferring white skin over their original skin tone they were born with. The outsiders made it a point to separate and class the native people there by the color of their skin to make them feel inferior, and undervalued. That’s racist and prejudice all rolled up in one! This was done with the enslavement of Africans brought to America as well. People of color dominate the planet not whiteness! The brain 🧠 washing and white washing that continues to infest cultures around the world 🌎 is disappointing, and disrespectful to the origins from whence they originated. I look forward to hearing back from you no matter how long it takes. I’m sure you’re busy with life and creating content for your many projects. Congratulations on your channel and continued success🙂
Hi Filipina Pea. I hope you are well. I sent you an email few days ago and I am also from Dumaguete. How can I contact you directly sis? Thank you.
That was a super nice thing that you did for your tricycle driver delivering all that food to his house You are a lot like me you like to give stuff away and you have a good heart and you’re a caring person just what you told me To be careful of lol. God has a special place for u In heaven
The stunned look on his face when she said get the boxes was priceless. You could see him trying to figure out what she meant. Bless you Pea, I'm sure they appreciate it more than we could possible know.
Hahahahaha
I know, right? I don’t think he fully understood till I cut the box open and gave him the phone 😂😂😂
I will always appreciate and respect every Filipino and Filipina for practiting gratitude and having appreciation plus thankful in life in good or bad times. It is something lacking in the Western world where everything is taken for granted whislt always complaining about something. Another banger video Ms Pea🤗. God Bless❤️
It’s amazing to many people that we can still smile, with so little 😊
It's also part of the reason why the Philippines is not developing economically and politically. People accept the situation. The Bahala na attitude.
@@nomennescio7457 This is not something that can change overnight. Im
hoping as the Philippines push forward it will be recognised as a good
place to build a factory and slowly we can raise the standard for the
average Filipina
I’m actually doing a video on that soon 👍
Love the videos where you show us how life really is, without judging or discriminating! Excellent documentary again lovely Pea 😊❤️
Thanks Glen - no judgement here (at least, not today) 😂
I agree
Your generosity and compassion for hard working Filipinos is unparalleled. You bring tears to my eyes when I see what you do to enhance and elevate their abilities to survive in a competitive environment. Congratulations for everything that you do!
I really enjoyed riding in a trike when I was in Boracay- Manila, not so much.
Pea, I admire your generosity and sincerity with your countrymen. If anyone can turn the future of the Philippines around it's you.
I agree, I Nominate the Filipina Pea for international President
Pea you are a wonderful human being 🙏
Miss presidente super pea,patron angel of the Philippines
My favorite memory of my first trip to the Philippines was spending half the day with a trike driver on LapuLapu . I gave him a 1000 pesos and told him to just show me around the area. We even had lunch together. I wanted to check out the gas station and topped the trike off. Cool honest guy. He took me around the area for a few hours. He was honest. He could have just taken me around for a little bit and called it good. I wouldn't have known any difference Being new to the Philippines I didn't know that was a lot. He is a close friend now years later and I'm the godfather of his youngest.
Pea this is what I adore about you in that, not only do you make interesting vlogs with good content. You also have a heart of gold because you put what you say into practice. Continue to be loving and kind and you will continue to be blessed. You are beautiful inside and outside.❤
I remember my first trike ride in the Philippines, the price was like 50 or 60 pesos , I gave the guy a 200 and told him to keep the change and could not believe how happy the driver was while I felt cheap to only give him about 5 $ (CAD for me). Thanks Pea for being so generous and sharing the video !
Wow, you did it again Pea. He had no idea you were going to give him the stuff you bought even after you told him. I think he still didn't believe you. It's a great feeling inside when you can provide help in the Philippines to those that truly need it. Their smiles are always enough in return as the people are your country's greatest asset. Keep up the good work, can't wait to get back so we can help some more too.
I really cried at the humble living of a good family. thank you for sharing with them! now let me cry more. How can I live among such beautiful people?? It will change me forever.
That was a cute ending with you running away, well played!
You're generosity know no limits!
You're such a great role model and a very compassionate person!
Thanks Laurie, that’s nice to hear ❤️👍
Yes, viva The Pea!😊😇
I agree with you Laurie !!! Pea is something else.
I lied, lol
@@TheFilipinaPea We see that you added one more to your stage troupe of actors in your skits. He must have agreed that this would be a hilarious skit at the end of your interview.
That was a very awesome thing you did for Danny and his family. You really are a good hearted person
It’s always nice to make someone’s day 👍😊
Yes I'm glad pea did this. Thankyou pea.
@@oittisallen4057 I enjoyed this video I hope to visit the phillipines in 2022 I would love to hire him to go for ride and also give a push towards his dreams for the future
Sweet “Pea” you continue to provide wonderful content. This was such a great way to demonstrate to us westerners how fortunate we are. Another reminder of when I spent time in the provinces and experienced what real life in the Philippines was like. I wish every American would watch these videos to see what its like. You are truly a trailblazer with such insight to the Philippines culture. You are the “Anthony Bourdain” of all that is Philippines. Love those old TV sitcom references “I Dream of PEA”. Great job PEA!
Hahahahaha
Thanks Robert! 😂
You have to respect the Filipino's they work hard for every penny they make and they don't complain. I love that no matter what Life gives them they will always smile and still with little food on the table they will offer a Hungry man something they have. The People of the Philippines all have my Love and Respect.
I thought: "look at that bag of rice; Pea must be shopping for a few months in advance!". I should have known that it was meant for the trike-driver and his family; nice twist ;)
What are you kidding!
Filipinos can consume an enormous quantity of rice. Its 3 times a day and sometimes 4!
Rice with meals and sweet rice mga meryenda!
Hahahahaa!!!!
@@outdoorescape2619 I remember a comment " Whats for breakfast ?
Last nights rice with an egg on top !!! "
It was always a life changing experience for me riding in a trike. Ha!! It was amazing how they could cut in and out of traffic and zip around obstacles. 😁👍 I assumed they owned their trike though. Plus I never knew they were regulated on how often they could work. I’m glad I always tipped them.
They’re glad you did too! 👍😊
I love how humble and happy Filipinos are, even with a simple life. Their happiness, openness and friendliness is a joy to experience always. Well done for sharing your blessings Pea, you have once again touched people’s lives.
Wow Pea, didn’t expect the tears flowing watching this vid, the life of so many is beyond tough compared to our life’s if ever go back to the Philippines I’ll be sure to tip more then I did last time.
Pea, you have a golden heart, and you never fail to move me with your generosity. The skit at the end was brilliant, as usual. You are, as the song says, simply the best. ❤❤
Good interview, Pea!
Shocking that the gov. is artificially keeping his family in poverty by limiting his work hrs.!
Then again, the US gov. is doing other things to accomplish the same thing, now.
You are such a sweet, generous lady!
PS: Glad you got your linking issue solved.
❤
Thanks for showing the challenges the tricycle drivers face.
That's nice of you Pea, I give lots of love to the tuk-tuk drivers here too. Covid has made the past two years pretty difficult for them, but things are getting better we've gone over a month with low Covid cases and the kids are back to school, which is a big part of their business.
God bless everyone and stay safe 🙏🙏🙏
I have had the opportunity to ride tricycles many times. I find it enjoyable even though I barely fit in one. I always find the attitude of these hard working people amazing and positive, yet heartbreaking at the same time.
You must be pretty tall 👍
Thank you Pea... The video was brilliant, as always. I also love to see when you give someone a little help like you did in the video. Everyone should send Pea a few bucks because she spends her own money on these gifts for those who are less fortunate.
I love the energy you have and the interview with the trike driver. Showing us westerners how blessed we are. You are so sweet to have brought what you did for his family
That was very nice of you pea, I am proud of you because you showed some compassion toward thstvoior family
Another generous gesture, Pea. Many, perhaps most, of us in other countries don't see how much such an act can mean to hard working families simply trying to survive.
and such a well done, loving, "trick"
Sincerely thank you filipina Pea, you are the absolute greatest. I saw that coming a mile away your setting him up. I'm so grateful that you share with us very real Philippines living. God bless you always 🙂
It takes real strength to live on $4/day and still be a good person. I admire him
Your a lovely person pea for all people you help🙏 love from Ireland 🇨🇮🙏 god bless you and the Philippines 🇵🇭🇨🇮
I think before people here in the USA start complaining about what they don't have in life, they need to watch videos like this to give them a perspective on what life is to others. Good video as always Pea!!!!
So true, Michael! If every westerner could trade places with a Filipino for one month, all unhappiness would disappear in your countries, and the dumb butts who run around saying “the west is a horrible place to live” would feel like the ungrateful, ignorant people they are 👍
@@TheFilipinaPea On the other hand Pea, many poor working westerners don't take kindly to corruption creating inequalities. An old American expression is "A squeaky wheel gets oiled". Maybe they shouldn't complain about being mistreated and abused by the rich and the powerful, but they do.
That was such a lovely thing you did Pea buying so many groceries for the driver and his family. You’re more of an Angel 👼 than a genie. Sending you my very best wishes from Northern Ireland ☘️🙏🏻
I had already guessed what you were going to do when I saw you bring out that big bag of rice because I know you are someone who has an amazing heart and wants to share your blessings with others less fortunate.. Bless you🙏
aaaawww its another random act of kindness , thats so nice , that cab driver doesnt have much , poor bloke
You did a special thing for him and his family, peace and love to you!
My dear Pea! You are simply amazing. I'm so proud of you!
Then thanks for watching - you make this possible 👍😊
Sweet Pea, I am always saddened at the poverty in the Philippines and SO thrilled at your generous compassion for your poor countrymen (and women 😇). You are, indeed, SWEET Pea. Blessings.
It may look like that family didn't have much, but I bet they have a lot of love and happiness in their home. God bless them.
Very informative and heartwarming video. You’re always so generous and kindhearted to people in need. Definitely paying it forward, and excellent job as always. 👏👏👏
Thanks Marc - and it’s fun, too! ❤️
Thank you for giving us another glimpse into the reality of a hard working family there. Your generosity shows the content of your character and the sincerity of your heart! 🙂❤️
Again your act of kindness is truly
Where your heart ❤ is at. Not many people will do this and it's such a honorable thing to do for others. PEA YOU ARE AN AMAZING PERSON 👏 ❤ GOD WILL BLESS YOU IN ALL THAT YOU DO PAYING IT FORWARD 🙏. You truly are blessed. I'm happy to know that YOUR HEART is in the right place...HOPEFULLY THIS WILL INSPIRE MANY OTHERS....GOD BLESS YOU......
What an amazing person you are and how you touch so many lives in your country. God bless you!
Glad to see a Family stay together , thank you Pea for showing us Real Life , real caring people Father and Mother ,
Thanks Rory, they seemed so happy 👍😊
Bless her heart, I just knew Pea was going to do something like that at the end of the video, she can't help but to brighten the lives of others whenever she can. Hope you can still find something in your fridge (I know your cats always have plenty).
Run Pea!! LMBO!! Pea, you have a heart of gold.
Ms. Pea you are wonderful and wonderful to you people. God Bless your heart
Very generous of you again and, also enjoyed the humor that you seem to never run out of. I never miss an episode of your videos.
You give me smiles, laughter and tears of joy Pea. God Bless You!
That’s music to my ears, Matthew 👍😊
I love what you do, when you do, what you do. It touches the very core oif the human soul, giving hope for humanity.
Thank you for what you did for this family. You have a good heart!
That was a perfect act of kindness. I was wondering why are you asking so many probing questions. Then you came with a twist and decided to go see their family all just to get the Intel to figure out what they needed. Awesome video. Yes you're very nosy but your nosy with a good purpose and a good heart.
Yes, I’m pretty nosey for a person with a flat nose 😂😂😂
You are very pretty Miss Pea and thanks again for the helping hand you gave us all by seeing you in action. Ty
That was incredibly sweet and kind of you to buy the man and his family food and a phone. I have followed you for a while now as I have a fiance in Silay City and we are kept apart from each other except via the computer due to covid. But learning all about the life style of the Philippines and the many other great information you give is a real credit to you and so helpful to those wishing to visit or have a relationship with someone for PH... Thank you for all your work and looking forward to your next video...
These are my favorite. Acts of kindness really touch my heart. It gives me hope. Great work as usual.
Pea, I love it when you help out hard-working folks who really deserve it! Good job and god bless!
This is a great episode. When I was in Zamboanga City I used the Trike so much, there were also Pedicabs next to our house that often had young people driving. If not careful one could be part of a race between a few boys and off we were for a wild ride. Nice to learn more about the life of these normal working Filipinos. Thanks and Bless You.
Great interview/video /helping others ,, it was pretty cool pea 🙏❤️👑 you are a queen of hearts 👑
Helping out the ones in need.
He was pretty shock that the groceries where for him at the end and also it made me laugh the jumping out with no pay , good one pea. Have a blessed weekend 🙏👑❤️
Totally unexpected and totally wonderful. I have seen many shades of poverty in Africa, in Asia and in North America and of course I have seen documentaries about the poverty, the cause of poverty and so on. But I have never seen something like this where a "local", with a loving smile, dug down into the details (how much money do you make etc), and with a smile appreciated the love, the nature of the family, the need to survive and to not pass judgement, to not look down upon those with less material means. Most people (especially from the so called "developed" worlds) can not go in, ask questions, let the viewers see the simple beauty of living without tons of stuff. Even many "locals" could not or would not, do what you did - that is to show the beauty in people's lives. God bless you, Pea.
You are the best Pea simply kind and politely gracious.
Love this episode when I feel sorry for my hard life this brings into perspective how lucky we are. Thanks. Don’t worry when I come Ph I’ll pay for the ride😐
You’ll pay my debt? THANKS Frank 😂👍
Definitely one of the most eye-opening videos you've made.
Glad you think so, Joseph 👍❤️
That phone will help him in tough days get work Ty Pea
A thankful heart by anyone is a very powerful blessings. Great job Pea. Be safe.🌹
He has such a butifull family your such angel 😇 love you pea be safe allways
It's always nice to see details, like the imprint in the trike saying "be honest"... Kudos to all the hardworking people there, at times you have to feel humbled and gratefull for such real-life insights.
It's a great thing you use your well-earned income to help locals, such an inspiration to all of us !
I have a friend who lives in metro Manila and started a new job a couple of weeks ago,I asked how long it takes her to get to work in the morning as her previous job was far from home and I was hoping to hear this new job was nearby. Her answer was 30km, she'd run out of money and couldn't afford a ride and was walking 30km to and from work (each way,6am start). She said,its OK I'm a province girl not a Manila girl, I said no it's not OK,you are in a customer service role and need to look good when you get to work each morning,what if it's raining or really hot. I sent her some money so she can catch the bus each day until her first wage arrives. It's an example of how hard a Filipino will go.
Pea is really a special human being...her heart ❤ is always at the right place...what a lady......I enjoy all of your videos.
It is a joy to see a philipino home no matter how humble they are beautiful. I love the perpetual sound of a cockerel.
Oh yes, it’s inescapable 😂
Hey Pea. I am a Canadian. I plan to move to Philippines to marry my girlfriend of 2 years very soon. I drove taxi in Canada for 43 years. I loved my work and I miss it very much. I know many other taxi drivers and most of them love their jobs. My observation is most drivers do their work because they love helping ppl. Those who work driving taxi for money are very unhappy and usually have bad health. Be happy with your work. Do it because you love it.
Yeah I applied mall security officer while I was in the philippines and got the job, but ended up going Active Army.
Dude! You look amazing for 50! Good job with the family!
He really does look young! See what marriage to a Filipina will do for you?
Hahahahaha
@@TheFilipinaPea It's probably because he's a gardener and grows most of his own food.
Great job and all the help you provide to this family.
You are such a special person Pea. Your generosity and respect for others is amazing and making a video of the experience and taking us along for the journey is appreciated. That family had no idea what you were up to!!
I always eagerly look forward to sweet pea's videos and this one is special. I love the attitude and work ethic of Filipinos. Fantastic job as usual.😘
Thanks so much, Ralph - these people need a little extra reward 😊👍
Nice video Pea!! This is one of the many reason you have 102K subscribers, you always helps others. The ending was nice as well, especially when Kuya said "I lied"...haha
Hahahahaha
He was wondering why I was asking him to chase me!
My gwapa pea you took me by surprise you did say that you were going shopping and you did say it.s time to go home WOW you are such a generous georgious cute gwapa woman and yes you are like a younger sister may God continue to bless you and your beautiful family may your Utube chanell get to 200.000 in 12 months my friend you deserve it God knows your heart and He see that your intention in helping the Less fortunate are pure and genuine I Love that also about you I hope that this Act of Kind Generosity and compassion gets into the hearts of other vloggers have an awesome Adlaw until next time my friend Sa Dios Love Lots
Pea you are the best. What you do for your people is amazing.
As usual, another good interview.
Thanks David! 👍😊
(for those of you wondering how David saw the video days ago, it’s because I often give the folks on my Patreon channel a sneak peek at new content - it’s one of the perks)
Good evening Pea as always nice video. BTW you are looking just like a teenager today. Hope you have a great weekend 🌹 😍 😍 ❤️ ❤️
Thanks Greg! I found a time machine, and just went back a few years 😂
@@TheFilipinaPea Pea you always look very gorgeous and young
@@TheFilipinaPea Pea with make up you look 25 but without you look 15!
That was beautiful I loved it and it brought tears to my eyes. bless you, for helping others
And I enjoy how you are generous to your peoples good on you 🙏🙏
This is not the first time you brought me a happy tear. Is there any question as to why I love you?
I’m sure I can think of one - gimme a minute 😂
Pea your not only a funny, beautiful young lady but your caring and generous as well. That was a very nice thing you did for that family, you have a very good heart. I had a Philippino girlfriend back in the 90's in Brooklyn she was so gorgeous but turns out she had a cold heart. I would love to find another Philippino lady but one just like you 💘
Jimmy, Your best bet is to go to the Philippines, That's where you'll find a nice Pinay and there are lots of them !
Did she put her heart in the freezer?
Good bless you and your family you have such a big heart that video did make me cry 😭 you have got an angel heart
Pea, it brings tears to my eyes to see you giving from what’s been given you! Thanks 😊 God bless
Pea looks so electrifying in the thumbnail
I accidentally sat on the trike battery 😂
I find it fascinating to see how your culture lives. It's a lot different from the USA.
Ohhhhhh yes - very different indeed 👍
@@TheFilipinaPea Have u ever travelled outside Phils sweet pea ?
Yes, I lived in the UK 😊
@@TheFilipinaPea Ohhh WOW !! whereabouts' ?
I live in near Windsor to the West of London. I keep
learning about how impressive Ms Sweet Pea is !!
Yes, lived in that general part of the country 👍😉
SweetPea what you do is above the call, your so generous I think you make more than most of the people you interview.Thats an awesome thing you do.When someone has a problem you are there to help.I admire you beyond belief,I love the way you step up and it makes you my girl-friend...🙃 as always Happy Trails!🌈🤟
You, my sweet Pea, have a heart of gold. 💝
Danny seems like a good guy. I know the trikes are expensive to buy but I would urge Danny to start saving to be able to buy his own trike at some point in the future. Cutting out the middle man is the best thing Danny could do. It is a big step for such a small income but if there is a will there is a way.
Well, Pea, when you were checking out with your grocery haul, I knew it was for the trike drivers family.
It's not fun making a young 50 year old run ... How long it takes to get up, from sitting on the floor (or roof) is a sign of age.
I'm really slow by four days .... it is a warm 34.1 this morning. I though rain was for taking showers outside?
I knew it would be hard to fool you guys, but at least I fooled them 😂👍
The rice bag did seem like a lot for you but one never knows where it’s going after you get it . Be we know where this bag of rice and groceries went and I know they appreciate you more than I can and it’s nice to see that in this current time.
Brought a tear to our eyes Pea. Thank you.
I do not see why anyone would put a thumbs down on this video it was great and shows you how fortunate we are here in the west. He sure does not look like he is 50 there. You did a wonderful thing there..👍🙏😉🇺🇸
It’s the army of trolls that follows me around 😔
my girl is back
You can count on it, Willard 👍😊
@@TheFilipinaPea yes baby i sure do ...
🤣🤣 i was waiting for you running away part. not letting people work...geez. you would think there would be a bigger effort to obtain or build electric bikes/trikes/ transport trucks to reduce the need for gas thus the price of it. and cheaper operating costs mean drivers may make more. im sure the issue is more complex. good vid
Even if the issues were simple, somehow we’d make it complicated here 😂
@@TheFilipinaPea lol thats funny and sad at the same time lol. but thinking back to your alls electrical wiring...i believe you lmao
@@TheFilipinaPea A country made out of so many different Islands make for so many different problems economically . Indonesia ditto.
Einstein said that creativity was more important than IQ.
You bring joy into so many lives w/ your professionalism and wonderful persona ...You are a treasure indeed !!
Beautiful done video .. I don't think anyone expected the ending....another realistic glimpse of life in the Philippines and always entertaining...a women with a heart of gold 💛
Pea: how many children do you have
Danny: 3
Pea: how many boys
Danny: 2
Pea": and the third one is???
Hahaha ...... Think she was being modern ....... who knows in todays
culture in the UK and USA they may have self identified as a Zebra !!!
🤣🤣😂😂
Trike or treating around halloween?
Hahahahaha
If this video had been last week, Trike Or Treat would’ve been the perfect title 😂
Pea you bring blessings to everyone, including me. I love the video and you will be blessed 10 times over for all you give.
Ms. Pea. I really admire you. I pray that God will keep blessing you.
I'm very proud of you Pea! I was just watching the Hungry Wandering Syrian and I went to see your video and it made me a proud subscriber to see this as well..I scratch my head how their are 16 thumbs down. If one understands the culture in even the least...They would understand what the true meaning of life, family and helping man kind is and they should just unsubscribe to the channel. G-d Bless you Pea!!
