The danger is there just be safe, once you experience it, you can say I am one in a thousand if not one in one hundred thousand. Just always be on your guard!!
Philippines is just like other countries in the world. Wherever you go just be extra careful and use common sense. I'm glad you are enjoying Philippines more power to you both on your channel
Well done kids.... So glad for your review of my country and all your observations are exactly right . What I want to ask you is to please my beautiful city which is never given a lot of visits by the bloggers to be promoted as one of the great experiences to explore in the Philippines....Davao City and it's surrounding beautiful natures 8n Bukidnon area and samal Island beaches to dive or snorkel. It's because of the unfair old perceptions about Mindanao....but things are totally different now in mindanao. Hope you'll include Davao. BTW I use to live in USA 42 yrs...I'll be returning there this yr for good.
You're not alone guys. When I went back to the Philippines with my family after several years here in the USA, I was shocked by the traffic and the long hours of commute. It wasn't like that back then. But, the love, the warmth, the kindness of the people, the hospitality is something I would come back to.
Perception is different from actual experiences, majority of Filipinos who left the country for work abroad have negative points of view and always give some negative comments for you guys but we are glad you are correcting some comments, that people change, governance change and progress is accepted while bringing their lives for the better, no country is perfect wherever you are and the way tourism now in the Philippines is growing much faster because of social media, it helps and it's time to see for yourselves what these vlogging tourists say...thank you biscuit boys for the validation.
They need a reason for leaving the country, but most of them don't have deep knowledge about the Philippines because they were sold that the country is bad by the daily news that the mainstream media spread every day and by the leftist mentality that most Filipinos learned from some politicians and broadcasters. Not to mention that before they leave, they don't have any country to compare it to.
Yes...I totally agree to your comments...I hate it when our own Pinoy n pinay keep sending warning and negative comments to the tourist. I'm from Davao...I just sent a comment to these guys that I hope you will read. I am planning to move back to pinas real soon.
All those pinoys that insult their country while escaping to greener pastures are cowards,you heard me cowards They'll blend in with the lifestyle of north america,western europe or what have you,they're embarassed to be filipino They had the skills to improve the ph but instead chose to run but they'll shout pinoy pride whenever diaz snatches another medal If you're leaving to provide for your family that's understandable but what gives you the right to sell out/insult your country Good to see foreigners see the potential in the ph while the colonial crab minded peenoise Will run at the first sign of trouble
I agree. whatever people say you cant deny there is progress even there's a lot of negative. imagine how hard it is to run even a small business, now, multiply it by a thousand if u run a country.
There are legit certain areas in Mindanao that are DANGEROUS because of certain groups but those are too far in the City or on the Mountain areas. The Mindanao has a lot to offer aside from clean white sand beaches we have cheaper food and fruits to try on! People are genuinely friendly and approachable. I hope you did enjoy your stay ❤️
You guys are not just smart vloggers ..you weighed things in perspective...you appreciate lots in our country and yes i boost our kindness..Thank You so MUCH for staying long. We love you guys❤💚💖
Well thanks to the both of you for liking our country The Amazing Philippines, just be careful all the time where ever you go guys, Have more fun in our beautiful country, Good Luck guys, God Bless! Be safe always 🤗
100% SPOT ON on every thoughts. You’re maybe the first vloggers who really grasped how to live day by day in the philippines or manila. AND YOU GUYS ARE HILARIOUS AS HECK!! Newly subscribed here and i watched all your videos in 3days!! So entertaining!! Hope you’re still there when i visit manila!!
I hope politicians, people in the government and management of fastfoods and supermarkets can watch this vlog and take your feedback as something to learn from to improve the system and services they provide. About the Philippines being dangerous, you're more courageous than I am as a Filipino. I sometimes even get scared for both of you whenever you're out on the streets holding your camera. Anyways, just happy that you stayed here longer than we expected and that somehow you're enjoying your stay 🤗
@@audreygaylegatbonton1638 Tom is correct. Petty crime rate is much lesser now compared to the 80s and 90s. I have this stigma before about NCR but you know what I have been working in NCR for almost 8 years now without experiencing this petty crimes. I have a good paying job but I do not consider myself as upper middle class.
You guys know more of your ways in Metro Manila than me. I never explored those areas when I was living in Manila. You guys are so lucky . You’re living your dreams. Take care and stay safe!
What the frack! Time really flew so fast! Happy Epic 6 months biscuit bois!🤘 You have come a long way! And you're doing great! Always no dull moments whenever you talk and share your thoughts and observations! We love you BIG time! Thanks for loving the Philippines and the Pinoy Frackers!😎🤘
Isaac and Tyler please read this. I think you guys are fast becoming locals now. Your observations are pretty good and spot on. What other travellers (vloggers or not) and tourists do not even have the perspective of the PH like you do. I think you are "getting" it. Other (Asian) countries may have better transport, quieter, cleaner (not that PH should not have or aim for the same) but the difference with Metro Manila (or the rest of PH) are really the people and no money or modernity can compare to that. There's a lot of heart in the PH. A lot of care, passion and love going around. It is not just money money money ( and yes those that scam you or people who ask for money are just a byproduct of how cheap it is in the PH so there is poverty ( they are not inherently bad ) but at the same time it is not all about poverty in PH which the media & some travellers / tourists do love to highlight. Most people are just like any other regular people in other countries (neither rich nor poor) if not better of in that they live simply (it is a tropical island country, so people live the island life - one does not need a lot to live simply and simplicity does not necessarily mean poverty) meanwhile so called "developed" countries have regular people drowning in debt and will probably live their whole lives in debt. So I find it ignorant when travellers or tourists make negative comments or unnecessary comparisons between the PH and other Asian countries. These are probably the same people who doesn't give a tip, who would like to pay as cheap as possible or not give back to the communities they visit. They just come and take, take, take and take advantage of the kindness of the Filipinos' good heart. When you move on to other countries to explore. I guarantee you that you will never experience the same as you have in the PH. You will dislike the inconveniences in the PH sure (locals do too and as frustrated if not much more as you would) but you will miss the PH terribly. So savor every moment of your time there and keep on discovering the little things that make the PH & the Filipinos different (special). Do not it for granted. Much luck to you both. ❤
Hello guys😊 Thank you for visiting our country and love to hear ur comments/observations about Filipinos and the places you've been to❤️ Hope you enjoyed your trip and had much fun🤗😉
You guys contributed in convincing filipinos abroad specially retirees , and younger generations to come home or visits dear beloved Philippines!!! Thank you both!! Be safe and have more fun!
I think many comments just want you to be cautious, and maybe some people hear things happen in some places even though it did not happen to them personally. Glad your travels in the Philippines is going well, keep up with the very entertaining vlogs.
Thank you guys for appreciating our country. Your positive thoughts about the Philippines means so much, especially to other travellers who are planning to visit our country. 🥰👍👍❤
I also have negative perception in Mindanao but went to travel last year as a solo traveller and i feel much safer than in Manila😅 Lake Sebu in North Cotabato is one of the best especially the Seven Falls. It's so magical .
3:39 It's true the public transport & heavy traffic is just horrendous in the Philippines. I know efforts are being made in constructing subways, MRTs and other mass transportation system, but until then one could only hope. 17:16 Yes, people can speak English because it's being taught in school at all levels from preschool, grade school, highschool up to college level or universities. I believe the media, movies & television also has a huge role on that aspect. 😃👍
You have spoken about your honest thoughts in a very respectful manner but a cheerful one. I like the way how you guys managed to make your videos very informative yet entertaining to watch. I couldn't wait to see your unexpected travel video in the Philippines. I wonder where could it be? 😀
Your thoughts are so honest and interesting. It is nice to know that you have observed life in our islands like it truly is. Nice to know that you guys are learning a lot and having fun while doing it.
It's okay to be honest When it comes to your expectations and experiences while traveling it will help a lot to improve what needs to do to a certain things.. We really love to hear the best things about our country and we are also open for your concern... it's good that you do research before you came in...more power and be safe.
Thank you for sharing your Honest and Open-minded thoughts about our country. It's very interesting to listen to a visitor's point of view of what's life like in here. It seems like your openness to adventures and to new things in general helps you to adjust well to new environments, and it shows! Looking forward to more of your adventures frackers!
When you guys first got there, I thought you'd last 3 weeks tops. I gotta say, I'm proud of you guys. I've been watching your vlog for 6 months now and well done boys.
Efficiency is the least you'd expect here if you're used to how things work in the States. But on the other hand, it'll help you develop tons of patience.
Good observations guys. You are so good to accept and be patient about all these things. Others would have complained and keep complaining and compare how much better it is somewhere else like the USA as point of comparison and then conclude how the Phils is not good based on US standards or somewhere else. Remember this is Third World country and these things we also wish improved a lot. So, thank you for your understanding and patience and most of all honest but not bashing the Phils but definitely there is a lot of room for improvement and for things to be more efficient. Appreciate you guys! Next video - what you love most about the Philippines! 🇵🇭
Great to know all your observations here in Philippines good or bad you both adopted to our culture and hope some that you observe not interesting will change for the future wish you Goodluck and Godbless
Wow Trifate, I didn't realise that it's been 6 epic fracken months here in chaotic Philippines 😄👍🫶 I hope you've been enjoying your stay here and looking forward to more happy, funny and beautiful experiences. Be safe, guys, and God bless always 🙏 ♥️ 🍀
Great 6 month/update feedback. Plus for people who have never visited the Philippines before moving here, you've adapted quite fast even with regards to inconveniences. Looking forward to your Baguio video. Are you also going to Sagada, Vigan and La Union?
If you encounter a filipino that you dont feel he/she is kind or friendly.. It is because they feel that their english is limited. They feel shy or scared to talk because of their limited english.
Thank you for recognizing our country for speaking more fluent english than any other country that you have visited. Well trafic is basically normal yet still annoying but we have to adjust to this situation and make it more fun to travel.. Filipinos are very friendly people and we hoped that you will still want to visit us.
The waiting issues in the Philippines make you live at a lot slower pace. From the way you're talking, it looks like you're already fully integrated in the country. Kudos to you and more power to your channel.
I'm from Manila. In all of the Philippines, you will find the sweet people in Iloilo. Even the intonation in their dialect is sweet that you can't tell if they're already mad. Ilonggos are the sweetest! I love visiting Iloilo and Bacolod!
I like your detailed experiences in the Philippines. I like the part where you mentioned you are familiar with the prices in the country and compare it to other countries.
Yeah that's an honest opinion with your 6months experience here. So glad that most of my questions were talked about cost of living, transportitaion , safetiness and general perspective from staying here.. Been able to travel from different countries, I definitely agree of how much time consuming in most everyday transactions here, the que line whenever you purchase & made payment, travelling from one destination to another etc. the slow system were really irritating most of the times. Sad to say never experienced it from other countries at all especially the very fast pacing life style there. But we're still hoping for more fast improvement changes to enjoy an easy way of living all over the country.
Iam a filipino teenager who is has been living in the ph for a month now. I grew up in Abu Dhabi UAE and i suggest for you guys to live there for 6months you'll be shock on how organize it is
Wow! This is one of the best honest "review" and recap of your experiences. You are spot on. So true about the "danger" side of living here, but it's just a way of us, Filipinos, to inform you to be extra careful, but at the end of day, you're still safe. The waiting is true too, the process/system should be improve. You are one of my favorite youtubers, because you are the only ones who are doing things that ordinary Pinoys do, as shown in MOST of your vlogs, like commuting, eating at fast foods and etc, you're not doing them just for the sake of the vlog, you are literally living the life of the majority, that's why your observations are genuinely spot on. I hope that you'll stay longer, and I know for sure that you will definitely miss the 🇵🇭 once you decided to move in to another country, because there's no other country that will offer you, friendliness/hospitality, no language barrier and cheaper cost of living, ALL COMBINED.
What I love about you guys is that you are not sugarcoating what you think...and that is what we need to hear and know so we can change for the better...keep doing what you're doing...you entertain me....I don't comment a lot but I like every video you have ....I'm happy that you guys can travel as such a young age. I did that too before I settled down and raised a family...now I'm ready to travel again...believe it ot not but you guys have seen more of the Philippines than a regular Filipino...
Tifate...I'm from Phils. Leaving in canada. Thank you for visiting our country and showing the Phils. Around the world. Thank you for visiting our country, no matter what people say just do your vlogg and enjoy your visit. What your comments are they are all true. Been there n visit my family and that's how it is. I'm glad you had fun. We are all proud of you both.
What I like about you guys is that, one can tell that you guys are really smart. The observations are on point. When you mentioned that Lays and other brands are more expensive, that is because they are imported. Those that are locally produced like Nova, will surely cost a lot less. The locals also live on tighter budget. The DAILY minimum wage in Metro Manila is around 500+ pesos , and for many families, they have to live with that amount, which includes their daily meals, budget for utililies, rent, transportation, etc. On the other end of the spectrum, there are also a lot of affluent people, especially in Metro Manila and other big cities, who can afford luxury goods, and eating out like you guys, on a daily basis. Now that I think about it, it is really crazy! 😊😊😊
Excellent..probably is a good thing to know the deficiencies that our kababayan needs to improve so we can make adjustments to correct it..services the one you mentioned. Immigration, fast food ,transportation 😋 so can be more convenient to the visitors around the world including Filipino..thank you guys..
I like how, unlike other foreign vloggers traveling or staying in this country, you seem to have had a deeper and more accurate feel for what it's like over here versus, for instance, just staying in BGC or, on the flipside, going to poor or remote areas, or just commenting on how great the beaches are. You've actually lived here and gotten a more well-rounded insight on what it's like. LOL on converting prices in other countries to pesos. IKR. Love your vlogs. More power. You're also not like other vloggers who are like Filipino-baiting or something. You're really just vlogging vlogging, if you get what I mean. Not saying, wow this is GREAT in the Philippines. LOL. Appreciate the honesty. Also in contrast to other expat Americans who actually whine about every little thing such as, for instance, the fish here having bones LOL. Like they don't even take time to get the proper perspective and start criticizing. You, in contrast, have really immersed yourselves in the culture and way of life as much as you could, before commenting. Good job.
Your thoughts are pretty much spot on especially on the prices and the proficiency of the English language. Continue having fun and continue to be safe.
Man, another awesome video. And I apologize I've been watching you guys for about a month already and only now did I realize I haven't subscribed yet 😬 This video sums up exactly why you're both my favorite foreign vloggers. Just like your videos and editing style, you guys are just so honest and sincere about your experiences. Watching you guys is like literally watching backpackers/ tourists going about their day, with a camera following them. Nothing is contrived, or assembled with the agenda to "Pinoy Bait" (which is something very common for many foreign channels). You guys are just doing your thing, having fun, and bringing us along with you. And I love you guys for that 🙌🍻 Great observations btw! Many of your points are stuff that I'd be expecting foreigners to say, but many I also didn't know, like how you were treated significantly differently in different cities. It's interesting how much insight you both have on the country, and I'm grateful that you're sharing them sincerely, because you've seen more of my country then I have 🤣 Something which you'll notice is prevalent with many Filipinos versus their foreign tourist counterparts. Lol! Always entertaining, also enlightening, and always lots of enjoyment coming from you guys. Thanks for everything, and looking forward to more of your travels! 🙌🍻🤙 Oh btw! The restaurant "Gerry's" is pronounced as "Jerry's". And the Tuktuk's are known locally as "Tricycles". Just a few tips! 😊🙌
So glad you guys mentioned Iloilo people here are so kind and respectful. I hope you guys can travel back here soon. The peace this city brings is really something.
The comments about Cebuano hospitality/friendliness stung for a few seconds, then I realized they're quite accurate 😅 Cebuanos aren't exactly rude per se, it's probably more like having an IDGAF view on things? We're probably the Filipino version of New Yorkers haha. Another commenter mentioned that the Cebuano accent might also be a factor since it's more terse and abrupt than Tagalog and other Filipino languages. Like, people from Cebu and Negros Oriental have the same language, but my Negrense cousins sound so sweet when they speak and I just end sounding angry when compared to them lol
As a fellow Cebuano, I didn’t even realize how much we don’t give AF about a lot of things until you mentioned it 😂 Then I thought of my circle of friends and how we casually make ruckus when we hang out and nobody around us will give AF about us. As long as we’re not doing anything illegal or troublesome, nobody will give AF. I feel like it has become an unwritten rule in Cebu though. With that said, I believe we’re no less friendly or happy than any other Filipinos. We’re usually pretty chill and we know how to have fun. Also, I think our exposure to foreigners or international tourists in general is one of the factors why these two felt like Cebuanos are timid or aloof as compared to other locals. We’re so used to foreign tourists that we don’t really feel anything special when they’re around since foreign and local travelers are daily encounters in Cebu. There’s nothing new or special about them being here in Cebu.
I'm surprised how observant u guys and u absolutely nailed it! As a frequent traveler as well there are 2 types of locals u can meet or deal with. Either an extrovert,confident and extremely helpful or an introvert, shy, afraid to be judged and sometimes don't care at all type... Thank u for ur honest opinion! Btw ur one of the coolest vloggers I've watched! New sub here More power to ur vlogs!👌👌👌 EPIC!🙌🙂
Been following this channel for a while now and have totally enjoyed their wacky adventures. Interesting perpectives from two young american guys. Amazing how they've adjusted so well with the chaotic life in PH. I think pinoys tend to be more comfortable around americans.
I am just so green with envy of you guys. I was born in Manila (and now live in Canada) but I never did extensive travel to most parts of the Philippines the way you guys did.
Americans have been a part of Philippine history. Clark in Pampanga and Subic Bay are two former American military bases. We always stay at Clark when we have a road trip up north. Corregidor Island is where a lot of Filipino and American soldiers died. If you visit Corregidor you’re gonna see a lot of military barracks and large cannons and the Malinta tunnel where the Japanese soldiers blew themselves up towards the end of WW2. There are also a lot of fallen American and Filipino soldiers in Mt Samat at Bataan
Love having you here in our country Tyler and Isaac the dynamic duo behind Trifate lifestyle...do come and visit the gastronomic capital of the PHILIPPINES and my Region which is the city of Pampanga.
thank you very much, your honest opinion about the Philippines, if you like more to learn about the good things Filipinos, like culture, about attitudes, foods , beautiful beaches, beautiful places 🥰😘 staying here as long you want, keep safe and good health 💖💯💪 GOD BLESS 💓🙏💖💯💪
Love your vlogs, you give very honest authentic thoughts. New subscriber here. 😊 If you want a very chill yet urban vibe, Iloilo is a nicer place to stay. People are very kind and friendly but will generally give a respectful distance and mind their own business. It’s very safe too. You can hop on a bike and just pedal throughout the City even at night! Not to mention it’s not that crowded unlike Manila. I have the privilege to work remotely so if the hustle and bustle of Manila kinda drains me, I hop off to Iloilo.
Appreciate you guys taking your time in learning about our life here in the Philippines especially here in Metro Manila. From taking the EDSA carousel buses, the MRT/LRT/PNR, tricycles and jeeps. Also hands down that you chose Quezon City to stay in, most foreigners who visit our country tend to stay at Makati and BGC which is the more bougie, highly urbanized neighborhoods then head off to the beach like in Siargao, Boracay and Palawan. I would suggest that maybe you could have like a collab with a filipino that will take you to must eats here aside from the malls. Hope you two enjoy the rest of your adventures here in the Philippines! ♥️
Yes, Iloilo, City of Love because they are friendly and soft spoken. They say you can’t even tell if they’re mad (unlike for example, Batangeuños and I’m Batangueña which is a Dialect of Tagalog/Filipino. Iloilo speaks Ilonggo, a different language). I’ve been to Cebu too for work and they’re not that hospitable but when I went again with a co-worker who’s Bisaya and can speak Bisaya (another, different language), people felt warmer. Idk why, but this is just an observation. It’s not that they’re rude, just less warm than when I’m with someone who can speak their language, like a totally different experience.
I am thankful for your honest thoughts about everyday to day challenges actually we faced in Our own country, but gladly able to survived and put into positive perspective and constructive assessments that aim for progress and developments by government and private sectors. Hopefully, you can explore more in all sides of the country like the Canadian vlogger “Kulas” of Becoming Filipino. Also one way of knowing us better and become one of your considered good friends and family in many aspects of life. Enjoy!
Thank you for sharing your honest thoughts on the Philippines. I just watched your video and am happy listening to your thoughts. A lot of changes are happening now in the Philippines and much more are expected for a better Philippines. When all the new lines of trains and expressway will be done in 2 to 3 years time, the traffic situation will decongested and travel will be more easier and convenient. Well the English of Filipinos are far better than other Asian neighbors because English language is the Medium o Instruction in school in the Philippines and it was introduced by the American Educators way back then. Besides, Philippines was under the US government way back 1902 to 1946 and from that time we have the same presidents as in the Mainland USA. It was only after 1946 that Philippines got the full autonomy; it continued the Democratic form of government. Philippines is a slow paced country compared to the Western, but life here is more easy and relax. I hope guys you stay for long and enjoy your stay.
7:12 as a former jollibee employee here in the US our procedures here are very strict lots of staff assigned at every shift too so we get the job done real quick hence the fast food👌
Keep it up guys. You have a good thing going there promoting the Philippines and telling it as it is. Always have fun but stay safe. God bless you guys.
The Moooore am Hooked on this Channel!!.. These guys are CREATING VIDEOS suited for First time VISITOR VLOGGERS in the Philippines!!.. LOÒVING THIS!! NOTE: Guys,..Its not called TUK-TUK! Its simply called " TRICYCLE!" here. Tuktuk is how Thais call it. Its called TRICYCLE here in the Philippines.
Woww.. staying in the Philippines for 6 months now.. it's way too long but still thank you Trifate for having those thoughts about your stay here in our beloved country.. I'm pretty sure you're really enjoying your stay here experiencing some Filipino culture, hospitality, friendly people around, foods and delicacies, beautiful places, beaches, city and rural living, and so much more.. Philippines and its people is not at all perfect but the experience of living here is what it makes perfect.. Just enjoy and have fun travelling.. you have more places to explore up north in Luzon and down south in Mindanao plus the island in the middle the Visayas region.. Good luck and more power Isaac and Tyler ..
As someone from Iloilo, we rarely see foreigners. It's only in the recent years that there is an uptick of foreigners but it's still not a lot. Very rare. Growing up the foreigners I saw used to be missionaries but they mainly went to the rural municipalities. I went to Bacolod for a day and there was significantly more foreigners. Honestly, I don't know if I want Iloilo to become a touristy city. For so long we've been ignored to the point that majority of the developments are catered towards locals and in making life for the locals better/more entertaining.
Thanks for your interesting, sincere and open minded thoughts about Philippines. Observations - As you admitted, you guys have been naturally converted to 60% Filipino mindset 😂😅 Using Pesos currency as conversion baseline is so Filipino. 😂😅 Its the hidden gem of the Philippines coz almost all other countries are expensive. 😂😅 Add that with the natural beautiful places of the Philippines. As a result, its more fun in the Philippines! 😃😂 Living expenses and travel expenses mindset are also becoming Filipino coz you learned to pick up the Filipino expense charts. 🤣😂🤣 English communication is the easiest here coz there is an English class since Kindergarten and most subjects + books are taught in English here. 😅😂 This started since USA colonization here, where our Education system was heavily changed. Its still advantageous though PH x USA history is not all happy memory. 😂😅 No hard feelings bruhs. 😅😂😅🤒 Just being mindful on any environment in any place or country can be good habit for safety. You guys are big mature boys but still stay safe. All the couldhavebeen steps you guys mentioned are all the same words of all Filipinos. Some system had improved anyways. Though still need more improvement. Or just like any traveller, comparison charts is inevitable. Ayos lang. Ganern!! 😂😅 Glad to see this clip. 🙂 New subscriber.
What do you think of our HONEST Thoughts? :)
You guys are in no immediate Danger from me! But you have to warn Duck that I am after him ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😛
On point
Do you consider yourselves as 'Passport bros'? 😂😂😂😂
The danger is there just be safe, once you experience it, you can say I am one in a thousand if not one in one hundred thousand. Just always be on your guard!!
I agree with all of what you've said here...100%. 😄
Philippines is just like other countries in the world. Wherever you go just be extra careful and use common sense. I'm glad you are enjoying Philippines more power to you both on your channel
Love philippines from Albania,Godbless that amazinv country and amazing people ❤
Well done kids.... So glad for your review of my country and all your observations are exactly right .
What I want to ask you is to please my beautiful city which is never given a lot of visits by the bloggers to be promoted as one of the great experiences to explore in the Philippines....Davao City and it's surrounding beautiful natures 8n Bukidnon area and samal Island beaches to dive or snorkel. It's because of the unfair old perceptions about Mindanao....but things are totally different now in mindanao. Hope you'll include Davao. BTW I use to live in USA 42 yrs...I'll be returning there this yr for good.
You must try exploring the beauty of Mindanao too
Thank you...
You're not alone guys. When I went back to the Philippines with my family after several years here in the USA, I was shocked by the traffic and the long hours of commute. It wasn't like that back then. But, the love, the warmth, the kindness of the people, the hospitality is something I would come back to.
I think it got much better. went back home last January and haven't been home for 13 years before that.
Perception is different from actual experiences, majority of Filipinos who left the country for work abroad have negative points of view and always give some negative comments for you guys but we are glad you are correcting some comments, that people change, governance change and progress is accepted while bringing their lives for the better, no country is perfect wherever you are and the way tourism now in the Philippines is growing much faster because of social media, it helps and it's time to see for yourselves what these vlogging tourists say...thank you biscuit boys for the validation.
They need a reason for leaving the country, but most of them don't have deep knowledge about the Philippines because they were sold that the country is bad by the daily news that the mainstream media spread every day and by the leftist mentality that most Filipinos learned from some politicians and broadcasters. Not to mention that before they leave, they don't have any country to compare it to.
Yes...I totally agree to your comments...I hate it when our own Pinoy n pinay keep sending warning and negative comments to the tourist. I'm from Davao...I just sent a comment to these guys that I hope you will read. I am planning to move back to pinas real soon.
Very well said,...totally agreed
All those pinoys that insult their country while escaping to greener pastures are cowards,you heard me cowards
They'll blend in with the lifestyle of north america,western europe or what have you,they're embarassed to be filipino
They had the skills to improve the ph but instead chose to run but they'll shout pinoy pride whenever diaz snatches another medal
If you're leaving to provide for your family that's understandable but what gives you the right to sell out/insult your country
Good to see foreigners see the potential in the ph while the colonial crab minded peenoise
Will run at the first sign of trouble
I agree. whatever people say you cant deny there is progress even there's a lot of negative. imagine how hard it is to run even a small business, now, multiply it by a thousand if u run a country.
There are legit certain areas in Mindanao that are DANGEROUS because of certain groups but those are too far in the City or on the Mountain areas. The Mindanao has a lot to offer aside from clean white sand beaches we have cheaper food and fruits to try on! People are genuinely friendly and approachable. I hope you did enjoy your stay ❤️
Thank you for loving our beloved country, the Philippines. It is not only the Pearl of the Orient but a land of many paradise islands.
Wow thank you Guys very epic ha. ha.. 😀
You guys are not just smart vloggers ..you weighed things in perspective...you appreciate lots in our country and yes i boost our kindness..Thank You so MUCH for staying long. We love you guys❤💚💖
Well thanks to the both of you for liking our country The Amazing Philippines, just be careful all the time where ever you go guys, Have more fun in our beautiful country, Good Luck guys, God Bless! Be safe always 🤗
100% SPOT ON on every thoughts. You’re maybe the first vloggers who really grasped how to live day by day in the philippines or manila. AND YOU GUYS ARE HILARIOUS AS HECK!! Newly subscribed here and i watched all your videos in 3days!! So entertaining!! Hope you’re still there when i visit manila!!
I hope politicians, people in the government and management of fastfoods and supermarkets can watch this vlog and take your feedback as something to learn from to improve the system and services they provide. About the Philippines being dangerous, you're more courageous than I am as a Filipino. I sometimes even get scared for both of you whenever you're out on the streets holding your camera. Anyways, just happy that you stayed here longer than we expected and that somehow you're enjoying your stay 🤗
Ph is safer now than before.

@@audreygaylegatbonton1638 Tom is correct. Petty crime rate is much lesser now compared to the 80s and 90s. I have this stigma before about NCR but you know what I have been working in NCR for almost 8 years now without experiencing this petty crimes. I have a good paying job but I do not consider myself as upper middle class.
I’m glad you guys are safe and enjoying our country,thanks for your vlogs ,showing us the Philippines now who are here in US,😊👍
You guys know more of your ways in Metro Manila than me. I never explored those areas when I was living in Manila. You guys are so lucky . You’re living your dreams. Take care and stay safe!
What the frack! Time really flew so fast! Happy Epic 6 months biscuit bois!🤘 You have come a long way! And you're doing great! Always no dull moments whenever you talk and share your thoughts and observations! We love you BIG time! Thanks for loving the Philippines and the Pinoy Frackers!😎🤘
Isaac and Tyler please read this. I think you guys are fast becoming locals now. Your observations are pretty good and spot on. What other travellers (vloggers or not) and tourists do not even have the perspective of the PH like you do. I think you are "getting" it. Other (Asian) countries may have better transport, quieter, cleaner (not that PH should not have or aim for the same) but the difference with Metro Manila (or the rest of PH) are really the people and no money or modernity can compare to that. There's a lot of heart in the PH. A lot of care, passion and love going around. It is not just money money money ( and yes those that scam you or people who ask for money are just a byproduct of how cheap it is in the PH so there is poverty ( they are not inherently bad ) but at the same time it is not all about poverty in PH which the media & some travellers / tourists do love to highlight. Most people are just like any other regular people in other countries (neither rich nor poor) if not better of in that they live simply (it is a tropical island country, so people live the island life - one does not need a lot to live simply and simplicity does not necessarily mean poverty) meanwhile so called "developed" countries have regular people drowning in debt and will probably live their whole lives in debt. So I find it ignorant when travellers or tourists make negative comments or unnecessary comparisons between the PH and other Asian countries. These are probably the same people who doesn't give a tip, who would like to pay as cheap as possible or not give back to the communities they visit. They just come and take, take, take and take advantage of the kindness of the Filipinos' good heart. When you move on to other countries to explore. I guarantee you that you will never experience the same as you have in the PH. You will dislike the inconveniences in the PH sure (locals do too and as frustrated if not much more as you would) but you will miss the PH terribly. So savor every moment of your time there and keep on discovering the little things that make the PH & the Filipinos different (special). Do not it for granted. Much luck to you both. ❤
Hello guys😊
Thank you for visiting our country and love to hear ur comments/observations about Filipinos and the places you've been to❤️
Hope you enjoyed your trip and had much fun🤗😉
You guys contributed in convincing filipinos abroad specially retirees , and younger generations to come home or visits dear beloved Philippines!!! Thank you both!! Be safe and have more fun!
I think many comments just want you to be cautious, and maybe some people hear things happen in some places even though it did not happen to them personally. Glad your travels in the Philippines is going well, keep up with the very entertaining vlogs.
Thank you guys for appreciating our country. Your positive thoughts about the Philippines means so much, especially to other travellers who are planning to visit our country. 🥰👍👍❤
i agree with you with the prices. that is why we're so adapted to checking cheaper options when purchasing, for either food, grocery, clothing, etc.
I also have negative perception in Mindanao but went to travel last year as a solo traveller and i feel much safer than in Manila😅
Lake Sebu in North Cotabato is one of the best especially the Seven Falls. It's so magical .
3:39 It's true the public transport & heavy traffic is just horrendous in the Philippines. I know efforts are being made in constructing subways, MRTs and other mass transportation system, but until then one could only hope.
17:16 Yes, people can speak English because it's being taught in school at all levels from preschool, grade school, highschool up to college level or universities. I believe the media, movies & television also has a huge role on that aspect. 😃👍
You have spoken about your honest thoughts in a very respectful manner but a cheerful one. I like the way how you guys managed to make your videos very informative yet entertaining to watch. I couldn't wait to see your unexpected travel video in the Philippines. I wonder where could it be? 😀
Your thoughts are so honest and interesting. It is nice to know that you have observed life in our islands like it truly is.
Nice to know that you guys are learning a lot and having fun while doing it.
It's okay to be honest When it comes to your expectations and experiences while traveling it will help a lot to improve what needs to do to a certain things..
We really love to hear the best things about our country and we are also open for your concern... it's good that you do research before you came in...more power and be safe.
How time flies. ☺️ Isn't it epic, from more or less 10k subs when you came here, you're now on your road to 100k. 💪😎 Congratulations!!!! 🎉🍾👏
Did you list it down since before, your so fanatic frackers!!!
Thank you for sharing your Honest and Open-minded thoughts about our country. It's very interesting to listen to a visitor's point of view of what's life like in here.
It seems like your openness to adventures and to new things in general helps you to adjust well to new environments, and it shows!
Looking forward to more of your adventures frackers!
When you guys first got there, I thought you'd last 3 weeks tops. I gotta say, I'm proud of you guys. I've been watching your vlog for 6 months now and well done boys.
Efficiency is the least you'd expect here if you're used to how things work in the States. But on the other hand, it'll help you develop tons of patience.
Good observations guys. You are so good to accept and be patient about all these things. Others would have complained and keep complaining and compare how much better it is somewhere else like the USA as point of comparison and then conclude how the Phils is not good based on US standards or somewhere else. Remember this is Third World country and these things we also wish improved a lot. So, thank you for your understanding and patience and most of all honest but not bashing the Phils but definitely there is a lot of room for improvement and for things to be more efficient. Appreciate you guys! Next video - what you love most about the Philippines! 🇵🇭
Great to know all your observations here in Philippines good or bad you both adopted to our culture and hope some that you observe not interesting will change for the future wish you Goodluck and Godbless
Wow Trifate, I didn't realise that it's been 6 epic fracken months here in chaotic Philippines 😄👍🫶 I hope you've been enjoying your stay here and looking forward to more happy, funny and beautiful experiences. Be safe, guys, and God bless always 🙏 ♥️ 🍀
Great 6 month/update feedback. Plus for people who have never visited the Philippines before moving here, you've adapted quite fast even with regards to inconveniences. Looking forward to your Baguio video. Are you also going to Sagada, Vigan and La Union?
Danger is always present in any places ,you just have to be cautious everytime.Thank you for loving Philippines 🥰💙
If you encounter a filipino that you dont feel he/she is kind or friendly.. It is because they feel that their english is limited. They feel shy or scared to talk because of their limited english.
Many things have changed in the Philippines its safe and even if you go to other country there is danger.
Thank you for recognizing our country for speaking more fluent english than any other country that you have visited. Well trafic is basically normal yet still annoying but we have to adjust to this situation and make it more fun to travel.. Filipinos are very friendly people and we hoped that you will still want to visit us.
The waiting issues in the Philippines make you live at a lot slower pace. From the way you're talking, it looks like you're already fully integrated in the country. Kudos to you and more power to your channel.
It's heart warming to know that you're loving our country so far. Thanks for taking time to stay here. You are always welcome here.
I'm from Manila. In all of the Philippines, you will find the sweet people in Iloilo. Even the intonation in their dialect is sweet that you can't tell if they're already mad. Ilonggos are the sweetest! I love visiting Iloilo and Bacolod!
I like your detailed experiences in the Philippines. I like the part where you mentioned you are familiar with the prices in the country and compare it to other countries.
Try to visit in Baguio..so that you can experience more and learn more about the philippines culture and scenery...try to visit baguio
Yeah that's an honest opinion with your 6months experience here. So glad that most of my questions were talked about cost of living, transportitaion , safetiness and general perspective from staying here..
Been able to travel from different countries, I definitely agree of how much time consuming in most everyday transactions here, the que line whenever you purchase & made payment, travelling from one destination to another etc. the slow system were really irritating most of the times. Sad to say never experienced it from other countries at all especially the very fast pacing life style there. But we're still hoping for more fast improvement changes to enjoy an easy way of living all over the country.
Iam a filipino teenager who is has been living in the ph for a month now. I grew up in Abu Dhabi UAE and i suggest for you guys to live there for 6months you'll be shock on how organize it is
Wow! This is one of the best honest "review" and recap of your experiences. You are spot on. So true about the "danger" side of living here, but it's just a way of us, Filipinos, to inform you to be extra careful, but at the end of day, you're still safe. The waiting is true too, the process/system should be improve.
You are one of my favorite youtubers, because you are the only ones who are doing things that ordinary Pinoys do, as shown in MOST of your vlogs, like commuting, eating at fast foods and etc, you're not doing them just for the sake of the vlog, you are literally living the life of the majority, that's why your observations are genuinely spot on.
I hope that you'll stay longer, and I know for sure that you will definitely miss the 🇵🇭 once you decided to move in to another country, because there's no other country that will offer you, friendliness/hospitality, no language barrier and cheaper cost of living, ALL COMBINED.
The inefficiency and bureaucracy are things I don’t miss when I go back to Manila. And the heat. But otherwise, I do miss home.
What I love about you guys is that you are not sugarcoating what you think...and that is what we need to hear and know so we can change for the better...keep doing what you're doing...you entertain me....I don't comment a lot but I like every video you have ....I'm happy that you guys can travel as such a young age. I did that too before I settled down and raised a family...now I'm ready to travel again...believe it ot not but you guys have seen more of the Philippines than a regular Filipino...
Thank you for enjoying the most happiest and very welcoming country in ASIA, The Philippines!
Tifate...I'm from Phils. Leaving in canada. Thank you for visiting our country and showing the Phils. Around the world. Thank you for visiting our country, no matter what people say just do your vlogg and enjoy your visit. What your comments are they are all true. Been there n visit my family and that's how it is. I'm glad you had fun. We are all proud of you both.
It's started for sb19..now happy to see u guys enjoying stay here in the Philippines..
13:29
You are not only funny, but you are also meticulously perceptive, sharp, smart and profound.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️
What I like about you guys is that, one can tell that you guys are really smart. The observations are on point. When you mentioned that Lays and other brands are more expensive, that is because they are imported. Those that are locally produced like Nova, will surely cost a lot less. The locals also live on tighter budget. The DAILY minimum wage in Metro Manila is around 500+ pesos , and for many families, they have to live with that amount, which includes their daily meals, budget for utililies, rent, transportation, etc. On the other end of the spectrum, there are also a lot of affluent people, especially in Metro Manila and other big cities, who can afford luxury goods, and eating out like you guys, on a daily basis. Now that I think about it, it is really crazy! 😊😊😊
Excellent..probably is a good thing to know the deficiencies that our kababayan needs to improve so we can make adjustments to correct it..services the one you mentioned. Immigration, fast food ,transportation 😋 so can be more convenient to the visitors around the world including Filipino..thank you guys..
I like how, unlike other foreign vloggers traveling or staying in this country, you seem to have had a deeper and more accurate feel for what it's like over here versus, for instance, just staying in BGC or, on the flipside, going to poor or remote areas, or just commenting on how great the beaches are. You've actually lived here and gotten a more well-rounded insight on what it's like. LOL on converting prices in other countries to pesos. IKR. Love your vlogs. More power. You're also not like other vloggers who are like Filipino-baiting or something. You're really just vlogging vlogging, if you get what I mean. Not saying, wow this is GREAT in the Philippines. LOL. Appreciate the honesty. Also in contrast to other expat Americans who actually whine about every little thing such as, for instance, the fish here having bones LOL. Like they don't even take time to get the proper perspective and start criticizing. You, in contrast, have really immersed yourselves in the culture and way of life as much as you could, before commenting. Good job.
Your thoughts are pretty much spot on especially on the prices and the proficiency of the English language. Continue having fun and continue to be safe.
Man, another awesome video. And I apologize I've been watching you guys for about a month already and only now did I realize I haven't subscribed yet 😬 This video sums up exactly why you're both my favorite foreign vloggers. Just like your videos and editing style, you guys are just so honest and sincere about your experiences. Watching you guys is like literally watching backpackers/ tourists going about their day, with a camera following them. Nothing is contrived, or assembled with the agenda to "Pinoy Bait" (which is something very common for many foreign channels). You guys are just doing your thing, having fun, and bringing us along with you. And I love you guys for that 🙌🍻
Great observations btw! Many of your points are stuff that I'd be expecting foreigners to say, but many I also didn't know, like how you were treated significantly differently in different cities. It's interesting how much insight you both have on the country, and I'm grateful that you're sharing them sincerely, because you've seen more of my country then I have 🤣 Something which you'll notice is prevalent with many Filipinos versus their foreign tourist counterparts. Lol!
Always entertaining, also enlightening, and always lots of enjoyment coming from you guys. Thanks for everything, and looking forward to more of your travels! 🙌🍻🤙
Oh btw! The restaurant "Gerry's" is pronounced as "Jerry's". And the Tuktuk's are known locally as "Tricycles". Just a few tips! 😊🙌
Ilongga here! Iloilo is the city of love ❤️
So glad you guys mentioned Iloilo people here are so kind and respectful. I hope you guys can travel back here soon. The peace this city brings is really something.
The comments about Cebuano hospitality/friendliness stung for a few seconds, then I realized they're quite accurate 😅 Cebuanos aren't exactly rude per se, it's probably more like having an IDGAF view on things? We're probably the Filipino version of New Yorkers haha.
Another commenter mentioned that the Cebuano accent might also be a factor since it's more terse and abrupt than Tagalog and other Filipino languages. Like, people from Cebu and Negros Oriental have the same language, but my Negrense cousins sound so sweet when they speak and I just end sounding angry when compared to them lol
As a fellow Cebuano, I didn’t even realize how much we don’t give AF about a lot of things until you mentioned it 😂 Then I thought of my circle of friends and how we casually make ruckus when we hang out and nobody around us will give AF about us. As long as we’re not doing anything illegal or troublesome, nobody will give AF. I feel like it has become an unwritten rule in Cebu though. With that said, I believe we’re no less friendly or happy than any other Filipinos. We’re usually pretty chill and we know how to have fun.
Also, I think our exposure to foreigners or international tourists in general is one of the factors why these two felt like Cebuanos are timid or aloof as compared to other locals. We’re so used to foreign tourists that we don’t really feel anything special when they’re around since foreign and local travelers are daily encounters in Cebu. There’s nothing new or special about them being here in Cebu.
Thank you so much for visiting our country. ❤.
I'm surprised how observant u guys and u absolutely nailed it! As a frequent traveler as well there are 2 types of locals u can meet or deal with. Either an extrovert,confident and extremely helpful or an introvert, shy, afraid to be judged and sometimes don't care at all type... Thank u for ur honest opinion! Btw ur one of the coolest vloggers I've watched! New sub here More power to ur vlogs!👌👌👌 EPIC!🙌🙂
I never thought you guys will last that long in the Philippines! You made it through the heat and humidity :)
thank you for visiting us - now we can say that once, Trifate had been here and made our days brighter with their smiles :)
Been following this channel for a while now and have totally enjoyed their wacky adventures. Interesting perpectives from two young american guys. Amazing how they've adjusted so well with the chaotic life in PH. I think pinoys tend to be more comfortable around americans.
I am just so green with envy of you guys. I was born in Manila (and now live in Canada) but I never did extensive travel to most parts of the Philippines the way you guys did.
Americans have been a part of Philippine history. Clark in Pampanga and Subic Bay are two former American military bases. We always stay at Clark when we have a road trip up north. Corregidor Island is where a lot of Filipino and American soldiers died. If you visit Corregidor you’re gonna see a lot of military barracks and large cannons and the Malinta tunnel where the Japanese soldiers blew themselves up towards the end of WW2. There are also a lot of fallen American and Filipino soldiers in Mt Samat at Bataan
Thanks for liking the Philippines. It's nice to see foreigners having a great time here.
THANK YOU GUYS FOR THAT WONDERFUL COMMENTS ABOUT OUR COUNTRY... HOPE TO SEE YOU AGIN HERE SOON!!!
Happy 6 months in the Phililippines, guys! Thank you for making awesome videos. You guys are relieving my homesickness since im im Canada.
Your outsider perspective is much appreciated especially the flaws of the public transport. This may be useful in the future.
I just moved here in the US from Philippines and now looking at your vlogs, I terribly miss my country. Philippines is home!
thank you for appreciating the philippines! 🇵🇭 we love you trifate!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Love having you here in our country Tyler and Isaac the dynamic duo behind Trifate lifestyle...do come and visit the gastronomic capital of the PHILIPPINES and my Region which is the city of Pampanga.
thank you very much, your honest opinion about the Philippines, if you like more to learn about the good things Filipinos, like culture, about attitudes, foods , beautiful beaches, beautiful places 🥰😘 staying here as long you want, keep safe and good health 💖💯💪 GOD BLESS 💓🙏💖💯💪
i really enjoyed watching from start to end without skipping the ads
Love your vlogs, you give very honest authentic thoughts. New subscriber here. 😊 If you want a very chill yet urban vibe, Iloilo is a nicer place to stay. People are very kind and friendly but will generally give a respectful distance and mind their own business. It’s very safe too. You can hop on a bike and just pedal throughout the City even at night! Not to mention it’s not that crowded unlike Manila. I have the privilege to work remotely so if the hustle and bustle of Manila kinda drains me, I hop off to Iloilo.
Appreciate you guys taking your time in learning about our life here in the Philippines especially here in Metro Manila. From taking the EDSA carousel buses, the MRT/LRT/PNR, tricycles and jeeps. Also hands down that you chose Quezon City to stay in, most foreigners who visit our country tend to stay at Makati and BGC which is the more bougie, highly urbanized neighborhoods then head off to the beach like in Siargao, Boracay and Palawan. I would suggest that maybe you could have like a collab with a filipino that will take you to must eats here aside from the malls. Hope you two enjoy the rest of your adventures here in the Philippines! ♥️
What is bougie?
Yes, Iloilo, City of Love because they are friendly and soft spoken. They say you can’t even tell if they’re mad (unlike for example, Batangeuños and I’m Batangueña which is a Dialect of Tagalog/Filipino. Iloilo speaks Ilonggo, a different language). I’ve been to Cebu too for work and they’re not that hospitable but when I went again with a co-worker who’s Bisaya and can speak Bisaya (another, different language), people felt warmer. Idk why, but this is just an observation. It’s not that they’re rude, just less warm than when I’m with someone who can speak their language, like a totally different experience.
Wow it's just so amazing to know that you stayed 6 months already there in the Philippines. Cheering you guys for your future endeavors. 💙🥰
By far, best feedback from foreigners who tried living in the Philippines.
I love this very honest thoughts. You're both half Filipinos now.
I am thankful for your honest thoughts about everyday to day challenges actually we faced in Our own country, but gladly able to survived and put into positive perspective and constructive assessments that aim for progress and developments by government and private sectors. Hopefully, you can explore more in all sides of the country like the Canadian vlogger “Kulas” of Becoming Filipino.
Also one way of knowing us better and become one of your considered good friends and family in many aspects of life.
Enjoy!
Hello tyler n isaac enjoy here in the philippines hope u stay here more months god bless🥰
Thank you for sharing your honest thoughts on the Philippines. I just watched your video and am happy listening to your thoughts. A lot of changes are happening now in the Philippines and much more are expected for a better Philippines. When all the new lines of trains and expressway will be done in 2 to 3 years time, the traffic situation will decongested and travel will be more easier and convenient. Well the English of Filipinos are far better than other Asian neighbors because English language is the Medium o Instruction in school in the Philippines and it was introduced by the American Educators way back then. Besides, Philippines was under the US government way back 1902 to 1946 and from that time we have the same presidents as in the Mainland USA. It was only after 1946 that Philippines got the full autonomy; it continued the Democratic form of government. Philippines is a slow paced country compared to the Western, but life here is more easy and relax. I hope guys you stay for long and enjoy your stay.
You should go to Bacolod then visit Mambukal and Campuestohan.
7:12 as a former jollibee employee here in the US our procedures here are very strict lots of staff assigned at every shift too so we get the job done real quick hence the fast food👌
Keep it up guys. You have a good thing going there promoting the Philippines and telling it as it is. Always have fun but stay safe. God bless you guys.
Thank you for loving and accepting the Philippines...pls. do come back and enjoy more of what our contry van offer...
The Moooore am Hooked on this Channel!!.. These guys are CREATING VIDEOS suited for First time VISITOR VLOGGERS in the Philippines!!..

Its called TRICYCLE here in the Philippines.
Thanks!
jz love watching ur vligs guys, ur thoughts are very well said and true . Thanx for ur honest opinion about our country.
Woww.. staying in the Philippines for 6 months now.. it's way too long but still thank you Trifate for having those thoughts about your stay here in our beloved country.. I'm pretty sure you're really enjoying your stay here experiencing some Filipino culture, hospitality, friendly people around, foods and delicacies, beautiful places, beaches, city and rural living, and so much more.. Philippines and its people is not at all perfect but the experience of living here is what it makes perfect.. Just enjoy and have fun travelling.. you have more places to explore up north in Luzon and down south in Mindanao plus the island in the middle the Visayas region.. Good luck and more power Isaac and Tyler ..
from reacting to pilippines videos and stuff to living here in 6 month and knowing our ways....i love it bro i love it... fist bump 👊👊👊
Mabuhay Philippines wooohoooo gogogo Frackers.. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭💗💗💗
Nice haircut, Tyler! Cute, lovely eyes! ❤️❤️❤️ Watching you from California.
We hope you guys are doing well. God bless you both.
thanks for sharing your experienced with us.
Thank you for visiting🇵🇭! Please come again
As someone from Iloilo, we rarely see foreigners. It's only in the recent years that there is an uptick of foreigners but it's still not a lot. Very rare. Growing up the foreigners I saw used to be missionaries but they mainly went to the rural municipalities.
I went to Bacolod for a day and there was significantly more foreigners.
Honestly, I don't know if I want Iloilo to become a touristy city. For so long we've been ignored to the point that majority of the developments are catered towards locals and in making life for the locals better/more entertaining.
Thanks for your interesting, sincere and open minded thoughts about Philippines.
Observations -
As you admitted, you guys have been naturally converted to 60% Filipino mindset 😂😅
Using Pesos currency as conversion baseline is so Filipino. 😂😅 Its the hidden gem of the Philippines coz almost all other countries are expensive. 😂😅 Add that with the natural beautiful places of the Philippines. As a result, its more fun in the Philippines! 😃😂
Living expenses and travel expenses mindset are also becoming Filipino coz you learned to pick up the Filipino expense charts. 🤣😂🤣
English communication is the easiest here coz there is an English class since Kindergarten and most subjects + books are taught in English here. 😅😂 This started since USA colonization here, where our Education system was heavily changed. Its still advantageous though PH x USA history is not all happy memory. 😂😅 No hard feelings bruhs. 😅😂😅🤒
Just being mindful on any environment in any place or country can be good habit for safety. You guys are big mature boys but still stay safe.
All the couldhavebeen steps you guys mentioned are all the same words of all Filipinos. Some system had improved anyways. Though still need more improvement. Or just like any traveller, comparison charts is inevitable. Ayos lang. Ganern!! 😂😅
Glad to see this clip. 🙂 New subscriber.
Nice very enlightening..
👍 Keep it coming.
