  • This is Why the Philippines is Different 🇵🇭
    While exploring the island of Siquijor in the Philippines, I come across some of the happiest people I've met along with some of the bluest Filipino waters I've seen. The Philippines is known for these two things, but this day on Siqujor was something special. Filipino happiness always makes you feel better. Thank you for watching!

    Some kababayans think that we are friendly to foreigners because they have money. ​​⁠That’s a very sarcastic and ignorant point of view. We’re really very friendly, not only does it break the monotony of work, it gives us a sense of value, “you see me as a person and not just a service provider”. I’m Pinoy and rarely do our kababayans frown at me when I talk to them or smile at them. Usually it’s returned with a smile and a quick chat. We are always ready for a friendly conversation. It’s fun and uplifting.

    • @j6backup626
      @j6backup626 19 дней назад

      No. You’re friendly to foreigners (specifically white people) because of the white worship ideals. It’s the basis for wanting to hitch an “afam”, to be able to marry a race you think is better, to elevate your perceived status in society. You believe that by marrying white, you get to be in a better class, more status, more yabang compared to other pinoys. You think a white man will salvage you out of your life- land of milk and honey chariot. White savior complex- it’s true and it’s deep.
      The colonial mentality is so deep that a sight of a white man, a lot of Filipinos are drooling. It’s quite sad actually.

    Puso is Hanging Rice. It is just rice covered with palm or coconut leaves. Kan-on is just rice. But if its wrapped with palm or coconut leaves its called Puso. I guess its called Puso because it is usually the shape of a human heart. In tagalog, Puso literally translates to Heart.

      @@travelescapesOFFICIAL Puso [pooh'-soh] is generally the Filipino word for "heart" ü The banana bud inside of which are the male flowers is heart-shaped, hence "puso ng saging" (heart of the banana). The traditional steamed rice wrapped in palm fronds and hung to sell is also heart-shaped and is very much Visayan (very popular in Cebu as well), hence, is called in Bisaya "pusó" where the emphasis is on the last syllable and the "o" is a glottal stop =)
      "Gata" [n] is coconut extract; "ginataan" (also "guinataan") [adj.] is "with (or cooked with/cooked in) coconut extract." With a "g" at the end makes it a Tagalog object verb. ü

    I am grateful for your recent exploration of the island. Your journey had me convinced that you had ventured off the beaten path and stumbled upon a different beach, one that was not the Hidden Beach. However, I was pleased to learn that the way to Hidden Beach was not far from Salagdoong Beach. While your visit was brief, I encourage you to stay longer and explore the island's lesser-known destinations and beaches waiting to be discovered. These secluded spots are often overlooked by tourists, both local and international, who tend to flock to the crowded beaches of San Juan. By venturing to these off-the-beaten-path locations, you may become the first foreigner to do so and feature them on your vlog. Imagine the unique experiences that await you, from trekking through lush forests to discovering hidden coves with crystal-clear waters. Your journey could inspire others to seek out these hidden gems and experience the beauty of the island in a more intimate and authentic way.

Altho', there are also bad ones who'll take advantage of foreign tourists just like in any developed countries so just be careful.. follow your instincts. Or seek help from local police or local peacekeepers if you feel creepy in your place of stay.

    around 9 minutes in you asked how old you have to be to drive around motor bikes. Although the legal driving age is 18 (thats when you can get your license) some not so populated areas like provinces,mountainous, and island towns like the one your in this video, it is not so uncommon for those under 18 to drive around in motor bikes at the minimum some at the age of 15+ drive around since theres not really any police partols in these areas or atleast that my interpretation of this, idk how other poeple think about this tho.
    Edit: i had a lets just say a cousin who lives in the mountainous areas in cebu north and he was like around 13 or so not so sure now and he drove a manual motor bike so yeah

    Young coconut has meat that is jelly-like consistency that is easier to eat and has a sweeter taste but the juice is usually bland/tasteless. And it is the the opposite when you eat mature coconut like he had in this video. The meat is tough, fibrous and bland, but the water is sweet and full of coconut flavor. It is the mature coconut meat that is ground where they extract coconut "milk".

      @IsaganiOnahon 18 дней назад

      There is no other ingredients added to make the coconut sap or tuba becomes fermented. It will ferment on its own. Fermentation process depends in the Sugong (collecting vessel or container which is made from bamboo segments), some or most Manananggot or Mananguete (coconut sap harvester or maker) prefer not to wash their sugong after collecting the coconut sap to expedite the fermentation process. If the sugong is not washed after collection, fermented residue from previous collection will help the coconut sap ferments faster. But if you want a very sweet and flavorful coconut sap or tuba this world can offer, just thoroughly wash the sugong with clean water every after collection. Believe me, its best natural drink in the world.

      @@pwertingutogatv5742 without tungog the coconut sap will still ferments on its own.The major physical, chemical and microbiological changes occurring in the fermenting sap indicated that a natural fermentation of coconut sap consist of an initial lactic acid fermentation, ito yong stage na sobrang tamis pa ng tuba, a middle alcoholic fermentation stage, ito yong may alcohol content na ang tuba at nakakalasing na lalo na yong bahalina and a final acetic acid fermentation stage, ito yong nagiging suka na ang tuba. Based on your claim that without tungog the tuba will turn into vinegar, my question is: almost all manangguete use tungog, then why their tuba still turn into vinegar after a few days despite adding some tungog? With or without tungog, the coconut sap will still undergo those 3 stages of fermentation ive cited above. Tungog is both fermentation agent and tanning agent for tuba, thats why your tuba keeps on releasing gases in the form of bubbles and gives your tuba its pale orange distinctive color. Without tungog, the coconut sap will still ferments because it containts yeast and other useful bacteria that eats away the sugar content of the coconut sap.
