Always excellent videos, interviews interesting topics that others may shy away from ,,,, the filipina pea head's them head on and knocks at them on there's front door never shying away no matters how difficult they are. Thank you pea you are awesome 😎.
He's the Drew Carey of the Philippines. LOL
❤
@@javieritomac Exactly and well said, Javier. The very reasons I watch and to watch The Filipina Pea.
That was a great and different video. I love the skit at the end! It looks like you thought the name of the place was “Dine ‘n Dash”! - Roro 😂
I’m so grateful meeting you Pea, The Best RUclipsr I’ve know, super down to earth person, Pea, you’re one of the best part of my 2021, sending love, God bless you my Fav. Person
Thanks Grace! I think we’re both pretty down to earth 😊
Grace - can u post a picture of the menu & prices? Or send it to Pea & ask her to forward it to Adam L via Patreon.
I'm curious how much things can cost. I'm considering moving to Cebu myself also.
Grace great interview - when i return to the Phils I will have to pop into Delish Deli to sample some proper Filipino food !
All the best ladies and all you do ! I can't wait to visit ......
He's lucky to have Grace helping him you can tell she keeps him from stressing out..love the ending as usual..🤣🤣🤣
Yes, I think she’s the glue that keeps it all together! ❤️
“.... first bald guy that owns a hair salon?” Yes, I love it... (I am also Mr. Clean; lol 😘) Great interview.
So, I was watching this Handsome Gentleman on “every man has a story” blog and the way he kept talking about Baked potatoes, I went to my local farmers market and bought the freshest, biggest potato 🥔 and loaded it up with all the bad, naughty things, butter (land o lakes), sour cream, tilamahook extra sharp cheddar cheese and dare I say; oysters, jalapeños and Chulaula garlic hot sauce... it was epic!
@@junglegeorge971 Maybe we'll go in as partners on that salon William 😅
Filipino’s are the best. They have the best heart the greatest culture, the most beautiful country, the best food, the most talent in one place I’ve ever seen. I can’t say enough wonderful things about them.
Best food? 🤣🤮
Well thanks - you just said a lot!! ❤️
Best food?
Keep dreaming.😁
The BEST food?😲😲 you are joking, right?
Philippines going to love me. I don't complain and I'm patient. Long lines? No problem. I'm retired...I have nowhere to be. I'm chillen.
A great couple with sound sense for business. Love the fact they're mixing Filipino and American food. Very nice!
Thank you!
I loved to see Graces face change and light up with love when he was praising her.....that kind of love is HARD to find....God is Great!!!! and so be the Pea....
They’re a match made in ...... well ..... somewhere good! 😂
I agree. Had one heart broken to many. Very rare.
@@TheFilipinaPea... in the Philippines, of course! 😁🇵🇭
The best thing about the Philippines is: The Filipinas. Stay well. Best wishes Bob.
We ARE the best thing, aren’t we? 😂
Well it's a fact. 😍
❤❤❤
Seems like they are both a good match and can play off of each other's strengths in their business and personal relationships. Very nice...!
Yes, it’s a good match where they both bring abilities to the table ❤️
Thank you David.
I think living there could be difficult without a partner to help and share life, like they have. Great story.
The learning curve would be dangerously steep without a Filipina to guide you through it - choose wisely!
No question. They know the language, the culture, the official laws, and the not-so-official laws.
Thank you for the interview Pea! We've been fans of your channel since it started and it was great to meet you. Come see us again soon.
You guys are the best! Wish you much luck ❤️
(and I feel so guilty about running that I’ll come back and pay that bill....... someday) 😂
@@TheFilipinaPea Thank you Pea. You are truly the best. And good to hear about the bill 😂
John, I'm a millennial & considering relocating to Cebu to see how I like it. Right now, I'm a self employed full time securities & derivatives trader. Do you think there is a market for someone w/ my skills/experience?
Hi John, I wrote you an email, I will be happy to answer me you soon. thx
Congrats John... its been awhile since I lived there but the pace of life is quite a bit different than here in the US. Best wishes to you and Grace
Actually this guy is very interesting and not afraid to jump in and get something done. I have seen him before along with his wife they are both go getters. He is a workaholic and has a lot in common with a vlogger that I know!!! Good choice for an interview and very well done. I was absolutely shocked when I saw him again. I commend you on a great job!! Thank you for your hard work also, well deserved success is in your very near future. This video really hit home!!! Also she is the glue!!!
I completely agree with you. I like how they mutually support and respect each other. I was really frustrated with that white guy in a previous video and his claims about being scammed out of millions of pesos.
Yes, and everyone knows that Filipina glue is stronger than superglue 😂
Man I have to admit...it’s true. 😂
I need to get with John about how he did that.. I want to open a restaurant in the Philippines.. something like a TexMex restaurant. But I see John have Grace.. & that's a big advantage. Trust is everything! 💯
Hello Missy, I wish you would’ve told him that Filipino women are designed that way to work hard by their man is a plus. That’s what makes the Filipino woman such a great asset to a man’s life business emotional security etc. I too am from California and met my wife in the Philippines. 17 years now and I am a blessed man
I really enjoyed this interview, Pea. John and Grace seem like such a lovely couple and I love his positivity! Thank you for bringing this to us 😊
Thank you for your kind comments!
Very enjoyable interview. It was good to hear both perspectives of life in the Philippines. Thank you Pea!🥰
My my my.... you are so good at interviewing people.
Wow...what a great video to watch! Tank you as always Pea!
The guy is financially set, not a poor expat looking to live cheap. That makes all the difference in the world.
Yes, he’s very industrious, and he chose to come here 👍
So true
Great Video Pea, I left feedback on their FB too! I look forward to trying their food when I can come back there.
Your really good at interviews.. I think you just have a way of having people open up to you and feel comfortable. Another great video!
Thanks Pete, and yes for some reason people do open right up to me (even children and animals) 😂
Another great vid. John and Grace were so open and were good humans. Thanks Pea. Take Care.
Very nice and positive couple. Admire their attitude to open a business during the pandemic. Wish them all the best for the future. Hope they have lot's of customers that actually pay their bills!
Hahahahaha
I hope I’m not the model for most of their customers, no 😂
Thank you Mathias. I appreciate your encouragement. Fortunately most of our customers pay their bills 😂
HAHA!! Another great ending! And John and Grace played their parts so well! Thank you, Pea!!
Thank you!
Fabulous video, chilled out & informative Pea. Salamat
🇵🇭🇬🇧👍
Thanks my faithful friend! ❤️
Great background for this video. Very colorful. Take care pea 😊
A whole lot of relationships are going to be broken this year between Filipinas and foreign men due to the COVID quarantine.
New relationships may come later, but the quarantine has only exacerbated the issues due to distance, cost of travel and uncertainty.
It’s nice to see the few success stories.
Yes, LDR’s are especially hit soooooo hard right now!
Appreciate that.
@@TheFilipinaPea It is very hard,speak to my partner 3 times a day but we've not seen each other for nearly 2 years. Worse bit is that our meetings are our focus,right now nothing concrete to be able to plan for. We've known each other for 17 years,must be a lot harder for those who were in the early days of their relationship to keep things going.
True love can Weather any kind of storm
Yes I broke up With my gf in September. Been flying there 2x a year to see her for 5 years.
Another great and different video from the ever evolving Pea. Interesting to hear their story, they are a nice couple who seem to compliment each other, a good match. I always laugh at the end sketches, and how everyone always joins in for a laugh.
Hi Pea. Nice interview of John and Grace. They seem pretty happy I’m glad they are successful. Very positive video.
Good job pea .......hats off to you for your energy to start your channel .......and to the people you interviewed ....wish all the succsess!!
Once again another educational video about the Philippines. Awesome Filipina pea.
Another fantastic video! Thanks again Pea🙂
Good video Pea! Always something new and exciting. Keep up the good work!
You’re so welcome, Paul! 😊
Nice to see that John & Grace seem to really be on the same wavelength & very compatible...Great match !
Another great video from the Filipina pea , all your videos are informative and entertaining. Keep up the good work Pea .
Nice to see a successful couple. Some of my happiness is finding Ms. Pea posted a new video!! 🤗
Well that’s always the icing on the cake!
Hahahahaha
Thanks Dave 😊
Pea You are truly the best at what you do. The material you cover is always enlightening, as well as entertaining. Your interviewing skills are amazing! Thank you for all you do!
Cool 😎 just saw this fellow Californian on “Every man had a Story” Vlog. It is so cool to finally see The infamous Grace. You both make a lovely couple together.. so romantic! ❤️👍💪😇
You’re a treat to watch and you provide excellent content. Would like to visit someday soon.
Looks good! I'll check them out when in Cebu.
Thank you Steve!
Thanks Pea awesome info as usual, a lot of the information that you share in your vlogs has life-changing potential this vlog is a perfect example of that, thank you for all you give us, be blessed.
Yes, and this man may have found a way to own your own business - not your Filipina 😊
So great to see a successful couple / expat after a previous video was so down on the situation. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for that, Chip!! 😊
Thank you, I was looking for this.
This very encouraging to hear. A good wife is priceless!!! Good things comes to those that wait. Good to hear about the one person corporation. 😊
Thanks Eric!!
Great interview Pea. You do that very well!
I’m a little late to this video. Once again, little one, great job.
Hello Sir John and Ma’am Grace! 😊 Great interview with them, Pea. Amping kanunay.
Hi Judia, salamat kaayo!
Really enjoyed this vlog, love hearing about what other people are doing, business wise, in the Philippines
Thanks Joe! And John might have found a new angle 😊
It's always good to see a success story. Hopefully this couple will stay on the path that they're on...
I have no doubt they will - they’ve got it all together 😊
Salamat po . I’m so lucky to have found you . You have helped me figure out my next adventures . 😊
That’s my job, Jay!
Great video again Pea, very interesting and helpful.
I enjoyed this video. Interesting perceptions about their life and business.
Great vid SweetPea,they seem to be a togeather couple and I'll have a BLT after your dine and DASH!lol,that was too funny!Happy Trails gorgeous!👍🌹
I have been watching your videos for some time now. The work you do is very impressive. You can be proud of what you are accomplishing. I have been to Manila a number of times over the years and am very close to a family there, so I have a strong personal interest. Thank You. Keep up the good work!
Hopefully you’ll return here soon!!!
Like in many cultures there’s good and bad but Filipinos definitely are humble people. Funny and they have a big heart. With what little they have they are more than happy to share them with you. They know how to have fun! Definitely patient and humble 👍🏻
You are the best, Pea! I have even begun straining my patience by watching your ads. 😇
Wow, now that’s a compliment, Win!!!!!!
good video, thank you, i appreciate what you are doing
Fanatastic video I wish them the best of life.
Thank you Roy! We wish you all the best of life too.
The best RUclips collaboration ever 😀👍
👍👍👍😊
Excellent video as always Pea. Always look forward to your content, I always learn something.
Thanks John! That’s exactly what I was trying to do 😊
great video and loved the ending! to funny!
Great episode! 👍😎👍
I really enjoy all the knowledge that you share with us all. You are both smart and interesting. I also enjoy your beautiful smile.
Thanks, Joe - you just never know what’s coming next 😊
Awesome content! Enjoyed seeing the interview with John and Grace! John is one of my truly good friends in life and I’m glad to see him and Grace doing so well in the Philippines 🇵🇭
Darryl! 😊 Thank you for stopping by my friend. You guys need to come visit me here!
I think John and grace make a great team in business and life . A lot of people forget a relationship is a team effort. They seem to really have things together and still balance their personal life which can be a down fall for a lot of people . That’s interesting how John started the business as a foreigner with grace’s assistance of course. That could be a real game changer for a lot of foreigners and could really help the economy and could help employ filipino’s .It really could be a win win situation. Great job Pea as usual !
Appreciate your kind thoughts Big Dave.
I seriously can't get enough of your videos as I contemplate my move there. What you provide is phenomenal !But more so, I think it's you that I can't truly get enough of.....lol I will be kicking in financially.
Interesting video and nice interview. Keep them coming, Pea!
Count on it, PC!! ❤️
He's a very lucky man and she is a very lucky lady thank you Pea for the great interview enjoyed it a lot God bless and take care always
Thank you Bobby. Glad you enjoyed the interview.
Nice, entertaining topics as usual.
You rock Pea!! Looks awesome!
Well Pea you nail it again with your superb interview and important professional content. At least expats may own business corporation in the phillipines. That great news for all expats that want to settlement down in the phillipines.
That was a great segment!…. Thanks
Very informative 👍❤🙏
I always look forward to your vlogs and you didn't disappoint me as usual😊
I’ll try to never disappoint! 👍
Great video Pea, I'm hooked on Peas videos 😂😂 have sit and watched so many! You're a very kind person!
Awww, that’s so very sweet, Cherokee! ❤️
Really good interview. The ending is what we use to call dine and dash when we were in college.
Great interview....great info....success in your personal and business life comes by a well thought out plan or design...they put all the pieces together.....I truly believe that his channel helps him reflect on what has occurred by living in the Philippines and being able to adjust accordingly
Awww thanks Rogue! But I have a feeling you’re going to love Fridays video then best 😉
Best wishes john and wow grace is just like pea....smart and maganda! I hope I can find my grace/pea in baguio!!
John and Grace... what a beautiful couple... so romantic!
Thank you ☺️
Love these two! Totally different people than I am. I plan on doing exactly no business or work when I move, but of course I will be retired. That said, when they said sisig my mouth started watering! Hope it is available in Dumaguete when I get there, as I thought it was only a local Angeles food.
nice informative video - thanks! I only came across your channel a few weeks ago, so far all your videos are a pleasure to watch.
Well I’m m so glad you found me, Michael, and I’m glad you’re enjoying my videos!!! ❤️
Chismis 😂 very engaging interview very positive guy, sprinkled with Pea humour and sparkle, thanks for keeping us smiling Pea! You’re a gem 😀👍
I’m only a gem if that’s what you see - thanks! 😊
Much appreciated Mike.
@@TheFilipinaPea I see a gem! 💎
Great interview, very interesting, well done Pea. Harvest has slowed up for the present perhaps next week will be busy again. Take care
It’s good to be busy, especially these days! 😊
That was a great interview as always Thank you 😊 🙏
Thank you for this wonderful interview. It was nice to have a glimpse into the minds of two brilliant entrepreneurs. John and Grace seem to have a very hands on approach to running their businesses which is refreshing to see. In a world where automation and dehumanization of the workforce is the new norm it's nice to see job creation as a focal point for a business model.
Thank you Steve!
This is great info...
Thanks as always you were incredible and now I understand you don't want to talk about your personal life. Your personality is a Class act Pes
Excellent interview, informative and fun. Best wishes to this nice couple. And to our Pea too, of course.
Thanks so much, Radim!
Thank you Radim! All the very best.
@The Filipina Pea thanks for sharing it with us
Yes, Philippines for years to come... sounds good to me, bumblebees. ❤️
such an informative video about the true life in the Philippines 😀 people need to visit with their eyes wide open. Both Grace & John are such a lovely couple.
Very kind. Thank you.
Yes, they’re perfect for each other ❤️
Hi Filipina Pea, I love you and your videos! You are so articulate and intelligent and socially adept and your videos are so interesting and informative, and you are a great Ambassador for the Phillipines! Muah! 🤗
Thanks Gary! I’ll always tell you everything interesting thing I come across 😊
Thank for this video
Sometimes I watch your videos and sometimes it makes me afraid to go, then others.....I want to come very much
I like your site and story tour of the Philippines. Thanks Pea!
Thanks for watching, John! 😊
Great interview Pea..it was good hearing their story..that can inspire hope 😊
Yup, and you have someone to ask if you’re considering my starting a business here! 😊
Beautiful couple. Love you Ms. Pea❤
Hi Pea. Like all of your videos. Now home with corona, so I have time looking over most of your videos again. Like your day by day info, howe life goes on regular base. Thanks from Sweden, northern Europe.
Thanks so much, Swedish Raymond! 😂
Another excellent interview, with a very interesting and down to earth couple, in business and in love. Very funny end segment, and great job as always. 👏👏👏
Thanks Marc - and yes, they are ❤️
Thank you Marc 😊
Good morning or I guess evening for you Miss Pea. You did it again. Thank you for your fantastic videos. You find the must amazing things to report on. It us so nice to see that there is some successes in the Philippines. I'm not looking for work in looking forward to relaxing and hopefully having many grandchildren . It is so encouraging that there are so many beautiful women that my son will hopefully find the one. Either way I long for a slower and non-stressful environment to live out the rest of my life so your country looks like the place that I truly want to be. As always honey much love 💕 and respect from Texas.🌞🌞🌞❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Suzanne! And yes, there are ways to make it work here 😊
Cebu city is going to be a boom town success when the pandemic ends and borders open up I am sure👍🏻👌. I want to be there in 2022. Good topic video Pea👍🏻🙏🏻😘
