Hey everyone! Christmas is right around the corner.. hope everyone is excited! Sorry this upload has gone up late.. life got in the way! This is my first video outside of Metro Manila. Many people have requested something like this so I hope you enjoy it! There is another 2 parts coming so stay tuned 😊 Which is your favourite province in the Phiippines? Look forward to reading all of your wonderful comments! Much love 💖💖
“Casa de Azucar” is in Batangas. I believe its worth the trip. Its how the City of Manila was before it was destroyed during WW2. You guys should check it out. Then head to the city of Baguio up north for a milder climate 😊
Merry Christmas Josh! Province life is peaceful and away from a super noisy cars in the city 😂..as i get older i am looking forward to live my whole life in the province..just enjoying the greenery and cool breeze! Ingat always! Enjoy! And godbless to more adventures in life!
I say this all the time. Philippines' greatest export is its people, even though we may not be as wealthy as other first-world nations. It is not that I am a Filipino, but hospitality is deeply rooted in our culture. Every country in the globe has a unique approach to welcoming guests, but the Philippines, I suppose, comes in first. Where would you see a stranger ask you to host you for something you expected the least? Don't be surprised if you encounter this Josh frequently throughout the nation. Enjoy you stay in the country.
Wow. Josh what an amazing experience for you and Conor. You get to experience the Filipino friendliness and hospitality. Very warm and kindhearted family. MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all.
ive seen others doing this to foreign vloggers, theyre being invited to filipino bdays and home. Its a wonderful idea... thanks to Rupert (?) for inviting you two. A great way to be fully immersed into a Filipino family's way of living. I laughed at how Connor was carrying the pizza boxes hahahaha :))
It really is a wonderful idea! So thankful that fate brought us to Rupert and his family! Yeah not sure how those pizzas would have looked after that 😂
It's good to see your exploring the North part of Philippines mostly foreign vlogger going to Visayas and Mindanao Area. And so humble your gesture to do the " Mano" respecting to the elders. Merry Christmas 🎄🎅
Like someone mentioned in the comments, the Philippines greatest asset is its people’s hospitality and friendliness. Bulacan isn’t far from where I’m from in Malabon. The “mano po” was a great bonus! Keep up the great amazing vlogs. Thanks for the daily smiles and laugh.
Hi Josh! I can't stop smiling while watching your vlog. So impressed and proud of you both for trying your best to speak tagalog. The highlight for me was when you said 'Mano Po'. Very respectful way of introducing yourself to an elderly Filipino. Enjoy your time in the Philippines! God bless you 🙏
You are one of the lucky foreign vloggers who gets to experience an authentic Filipino family dinner. Kudos to the family for being true to themselves and hospitable.
Filipinos are known for their hospitality. Very accomodating. It is a costume to feed visitors, foreigners or locals. Seems you really enjoyed your stay in San Miguel. Kudos to you guys.
They were honestly so kind and welcoming to us, we felt like part of the family! Yeah I totally agree more visitors need to experience something like this. Merry Christmas!
OMG! You guys experienced all kinds of stuff in the Philippines mingling with the locals. Learning the language specially Tagalog dialect…we have so many dialects in the Philippines but Tagalog is the main dialect in Metro Manila. Amazing!!!
Filipinos are really friendly as you have observed. Good for you you have meet a friendly local who invited you to their house and you experience the Christmas in the Philippines.
Nice to see u get that dinner with this family. Nakakaktuwa na napaka natural sa pinoy ang maging hospitable... Nakaka proud lnag kasi super inentertain sila josh
The most important sign that you are most welcome in a Filipino home is when you are invited to eat with them. But, be prepared on how much food they will serve you with insistence. 😂
You're lucky to meet kind local that will invited you to their hometown to experience their culture. And that is the hospitality of a Filipino" That is really how we do it, when we are going on a vacation from manila to Provice we often bring "pasalubong" and do stop over to places we go to before because its gives us the vibe of "nostalgia"
OMG 😳 that’s my hometown in the Philippines!🇵🇭. Thank you for showing this. I truly miss that place. I used to live in front of Central Elementary School and in front of the monument. ❤
YT. Recommended your channel. You only have 1 upload when i visited ur channel. Im happy that i watched it grow and now im ur fan. 😅 ♥️ i like this raw vlog thing unlike others ur the best!!! So natural not cringy at all.
I just came upon on this channel..and i really enjoyed it..👌 Rupert & his family really so hospitable to u guys 🙂. Well this kind of experience is really normal here in the Philippines. We're glad that u enjoyed it❤
She mentioned dirty kitchen but it is just an area of the house, She is not really implying that it is dirty, Dirty kitchens in asian countries refers to the outside or separate kitchen where they cook the complex stuff, where they process meats and fish that can be quiet messy, they also cook meals in big batches here sometims.. Some big houses can have separate kitchens like this and they have a basic kitchen to cook non messy and basic stuff inside their house.
Wow Josh, so nice to see you already being "part of the family". Nothing beats home-cooked food... Sauteed mung beans happen to be one of my favorites and perfectly match fried fish or even a crispy fried Porkchop. I wonder where you guys gonna be spending your Christmas Eve and Christmas Day... hopefully in another Filipino family home...
Fried bangus and ginisang monggo with fried tofu and dahon ng ampalaya - perfect! Taob ang kaldero ng kanin! Adobo and sinigang are popular with foreigners but fried bangus or galunggong and ginisang monggo is way more delicious, for me! You guys are lucky for being invited in a Bulakenyo home. Bulakenyos are kind, respectful and hospitable people!
its nice to see d foreign doing a "mano po" traditions coz some of new gen today is so shy doing it, but instead their are doing a beso beso (cheek to cheek) greetings...
You’re probably the only vlogger I subscribe to that doesn’t have their GoPro set to Wide, and I THANK YOU FOR IT lol. Much more pleasant to watch without the fish eye effect you get when using Wide. Great video!
Wow Bro, Nueva Ecija is my Province in the Philippines. I love to see yout channel grow! You both deserve all the love because of the interest you show for Filipino Culture.
Love watching your video in the Philippines. Glad you’re enjoying your journey in Asia. Just started watching your video last week and kind of like it. Awesome places you’ve been to.❤️🇸🇽 from Vegas
Milkfish or bangus is the national fish of the Philippines. Doing the "mano", hand gesture of getting the hand and putting on one's forehead for blessing is usually done to the elders. The younger ones would prefer "beso" or placing your cheeks together with theirs as a sign of greeting.
@@TheJourneyofJosh haha...can sense the struggle you had to finished all the food. Can't wait that you and Connor will try the Eat all you Can at Vikings or Spiral!! And silog meals for breakfast!😊😉
Merry Christmas Josh and Connor and thank you to the Bilakeño family who invited you I hope you guys are in journey up north and see the beautiful city of pines Baguio ❤
Merry christmas josh, enjoy your chirstmas in my country.. it is the best among all countries. Hope thay i can find places here in nottingham to celebrate my christmas 😂
Wow im from Bulacan but now living in Oman..great video man..i miss the Philippines especially this Christmas season..and also we always eat there at Edison before going Mountain Biking in Doña Remedios Trinidad (another town in bulacan)
Thank God ur new Filipino friend served a classic Friday favorite Ginisang Monggo or Sauteed Mung and fried milkfish and not the most famous ones Adobo and Sinigang. U cant get more Filipino than that. And also u did great ordering Beef Kaldereta ni Barbara’s and Brazo De Mercedez, Milkfish, u actually ordered the right ones there. And ur friend served the normal food served everyday in a household. Ive read some (not youtubers) who doesnt like Filipino cuisine and food but when i asked them where they had tried it, they wont answer, prolly not in the top authentic restaurants or karenderias (the local by the side of the road small restos/canteens) and also not in a local Filipino home then judges our food badly. No matter how u explain they wont even try to listen or understand and just its not good although they say there are very few which are they fave. While ive seen others which changed their minds when one of their family members marries a Filipina and cooked home made fresh filipino food for them. Half of our food are spanish influences hence the name Caldereta, tomato based dishes are from Spain influence hence the similarity to Portugese, Spanish and some Latin Countries/Mexican Food, the other half are influenced by Chinese, some are similar to Indonesians, Malaysian food and also a mixed of local food from local homegrown sources like Pinakbet or Pakbet that originated from the northern Luzon Region of the Philippines which is more abundant with local vegetables.
Happy to hear we are finally trying some of the right food! 😝 I am always honest if I like or don’t like something, and most of the Filipino food I’ve tried has been amazing! Big fan of all the others you listed too haha
@@TheJourneyofJosh so far uve tasted the best ones for me. My most fave are Beef Kaldereta, Kare-Kare (thats a must soon u can try it, north of Bulacan where Pampanga is, the province after Bulacan is the culinary capital of the Philippines were my mom and my mom’s family are natives of and they speak another Language which i can understand 75% only but cant speak, they make the best Kare Kare, Sisig (Pampanga is where it originated from), Tocino, Longganiza also originated from there (Pampanga’s Best Brand)Kapampangans are known to be the best cooks in the Philippines)Lechong Kawali, Bulalo, Sizzling Gambas, Sizzling Tofu/Tokwa, Buttered Shrimps/Prawns, Baked Cheese Mussels, Sizzling corn and mushrooms, Bulalo and i think u will like Picadillo, Mechado, Menudo, Afritada coz Caldereta is like their family, all are tomato sauce based and are Spanish influenced. Tapsilog, Tocilog, Longsilog these are must try for breakfast, Si is shortcut for Sinangang which means Fried Rice or garlic fried rice, Itlog means egg plus To is for Tocino, Tap is for Tapa hence Tapsilog, Longsilog is Longganiza Sinangag Itlog meaning Longganiza with Garlic Fried Rice and sunny side up Egg, best sauce is vinegar with banana ketchup then a lil bit of chili powder or sliced small chilis then mix. Atsara is the one u ate as side dish at Barbara’s meaning Pickled Papaya with garlic, carrots usually, my mom makes that all the time before and she even makes Peanut Butter by hand, she has a machine for home made Peanut Butter and we sell it too and its pure peanuts not unlike the ones sold even in UK or US/Canada with extenders or they make it creamier (my siblings lives in Canada so i can compare) my mom makes the organic ones with pure peanuts and just a lil bit of oil so it wont harden up. And u also have to try Taho or Silkened Tofu its served hot by the vendor roaming around the streets in the whole Philippines and in Baguio City (where ur strawberry milkshake was from in BGC) there is Fresh Strawberry Taho and Blueberry Taho or Ube Taho. Must try for u when u go to Baguio City or Tagaytay City (best views of starbucks in the world and smallest active volcano in the world within a lake within a volcano within a lake) (2 hrs by bus from manila, colder place) south of metro Manila which i think u have missed before going to the islands.
hi im a new a new subscriber and i like your video visiting PH...im a filipino too base in vancouver canada keep up....there is so much more beautiful places in the PH you want to go and enjoy your stay...
Pasalubong is actually a gift brought along for the host you are visit another pasalubong is bring along gift for the people you left behind when you left for your trip which of the time something from the place you visited
Thats "National fish of the Phil." MilkFish in English..Thnx u like Filipino food..🎉 and 1 of your Fav.Country Merry Christmas To Both of u and conor and to your families...
I'm sure you've had mung beans before? Whats your favorite Mung Bean dish so far? A lot of foreigners have really liked the Filipinos' version of Mung Bean (Ginisang Munggo).

Ingat always!
Enjoy!
And godbless to more adventures in life!
Now you see why foreign vloggers decide to move and live in the Philippines :)
Merry Christmas to you & Connar Josh ! ❤🎉🎊🍾🇵🇭
I say this all the time. Philippines' greatest export is its people, even though we may not be as wealthy as other first-world nations. It is not that I am a Filipino, but hospitality is deeply rooted in our culture. Every country in the globe has a unique approach to welcoming guests, but the Philippines, I suppose, comes in first. Where would you see a stranger ask you to host you for something you expected the least? Don't be surprised if you encounter this Josh frequently throughout the nation. Enjoy you stay in the country.
Yeah I agree, you can really feel this all over the country.. even in Manila which you wouldn’t really expect from a capital city
Just shows your characters, when a family invites you in like that you've struck a chord with Filipinos. Well done lads.
I hope so, that really means a lot! Treat others as you wish to be treated 🫡
@@TheJourneyofJosh nuff said...😉
Highly appreciate the constant use of Filipino words and phrases. 👏 👏 👏 when the lady said you were her adopted children, we Filipinos mean that.
Hospitality of Filipinos is out of world ❤
Wow. Josh what an amazing experience
for you and Conor. You get to experience the Filipino friendliness and hospitality. Very warm and kindhearted family. MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all.
It was an incredible weekend! Never expected to be welcomed into the family like we were. Merry Christmas to you too! 🎄
ive seen others doing this to foreign vloggers, theyre being invited to filipino bdays and home. Its a wonderful idea... thanks to Rupert (?) for inviting you two. A great way to be fully immersed into a Filipino family's way of living.
I laughed at how Connor was carrying the pizza boxes hahahaha :))
It really is a wonderful idea! So thankful that fate brought us to Rupert and his family! Yeah not sure how those pizzas would have looked after that 😂
It's good to see your exploring the North part of Philippines mostly foreign vlogger going to Visayas and Mindanao Area. And so humble your gesture to do the " Mano" respecting to the elders.
Merry Christmas 🎄🎅
Yeah Bulacan seems to be a little underrated to me! Gotta thank Rupert for teaching us the Mano 😍 Merry Christmas! 🎄
Like someone mentioned in the comments, the Philippines greatest asset is its people’s hospitality and friendliness.
Bulacan isn’t far from where I’m from in Malabon.
The “mano po” was a great bonus! Keep up the great amazing vlogs. Thanks for the daily smiles and laugh.
Josh is a smart dude...loads of foreigners cannot really pronounce bangus and he's learning fast👌
Hi Josh! I can't stop smiling while watching your vlog. So impressed and proud of you both for trying your best to speak tagalog. The highlight for me was when you said 'Mano Po'. Very respectful way of introducing yourself to an elderly Filipino. Enjoy your time in the Philippines! God bless you 🙏

Definitely the most true culture we’ve experienced so far! 😍

I think it's safe to say we were most welcome.. I've never eaten so much food 😂
Filipino hospitality at its best!
That's good and nice Josh you give respectful to the elderly that a good sign of respect ❤❤❤

I was blown away by how friendly and welcoming everyone was! Really made us feel at home ❤️
Thats a great experience! Riding a vintage car, going to the province, learning how they live there...
It really was super unique! Super grateful and 2 more parts to come!
Happy christmas to you guys. I appreciate you immersing with the real life culture and a typical life of every common filipino.
it was so nice to see guys in our humble province were the most hospitable people in the planet.
OMG 😳 that’s my hometown in the Philippines!🇵🇭. Thank you for showing this. I truly miss that place. I used to live in front of Central Elementary School and in front of the monument. ❤

A great way to experience the local Filipino way of life...sharing and the hospitality of the Family is amazing. God Bless
Dirty kitchen is a term Pinoys use for their 2nd kitchen, usually at the back of the house or outside , for stir frying, barbecue,etc. Merry Xmas!
Oh really? That makes sense now haha, I thought she was just being modest! 😅 Thanks for the info, Merry Xmas Archie!
I just came upon on this channel..and i really enjoyed it..👌 Rupert & his family really so hospitable to u guys 🙂. Well this kind of experience is really normal here in the Philippines. We're glad that u enjoyed it❤

Filipinos share whatever they have
That’s what I love! People need to take notes from the Pinoys
English is our second language, thats why most of Filipinos can communicate in English. More power to your vlog.
its nice to see d foreign doing a "mano po" traditions coz some of new gen today is so shy doing it, but instead their are doing a beso beso (cheek to cheek) greetings...
Gotta thank Rupert for teaching us about it 😇
Ang cute naman!😂 nakakatuwa. Really putting an effort to speak Filipino. Bravo!👏
I am missing my home na😢 I would also drink cold coffee kahit na 11pm pa😂
its nice that you are immersing in Filipino culture ❤

Well i was born and grew up there in san miguel bulacan before i came here in USA
I'm sure you've had mung beans before? Whats your favorite Mung Bean dish so far? A lot of foreigners have really liked the Filipinos' version of Mung Bean (Ginisang Munggo).
