I am watching this again. ❤😀 Honestly, your vlogs became my stress relievers. You really helped me a lot especially after a busy day at work. ❤❤❤ Thank you very much. 😍❤😍❤
Did you notice that Filipino viewers are incredibly insane? Look how huge the difference of views of your video in your non Philippine Vlog. It's like 3x more. We love to support our visitors as part of our hospitality. A simple way to say how we appreciate that you tried our culture and you experience our country. Lots of Love from Philippines to your family. ❤️🥰
You can also do a meet and greet once youre Manila before leaving. You'll be surprised that maybe around 50 will show up and it will make you feel and feel good about yourself that traveling with your family is possible, its fun and its a good memory that your kids will have as they grow. Lots of love. Thank you ❤️🥰
Seriously. It's great editing and the quick and concise info is intermediate to advance level. Also liked that you guys weren't deterred by the obstacles/challenges. I enjoyed this a lot. 👏👏😁
In terms of food, the Philippines is the best, but the truth is that the whole Philippines is dirty and almost 80% of the Filipinos there are undisciplined because there are people who throw garbage in the canal and that animal excrement is also thrown there and there are a lot of people spitting everywhere even on the road they are spitting the truth is really disgusting the Philippines is the dirtiest country in the whole world for me it's just that even citizens in the Philippines 90% to 95% are undisciplined and don't care about the environment is better to visit China, South Korea and Japan, the people there are disciplined, even if it's just the environment, it's not really good to visit the Philippines.
Ive seen a lot of Foreign Vloggers that went and featured the Philippines and you guys are so far the most respectful, well-structured and coolest vloggers. You guys were so interesting to watch. It’s so great to see a whole Family doing travel vlogs. I hope you really enjoyed my country 🇵🇭
Those extra securities are a standard here in the Philippines, we really never had any serious threat all but they're just doing extra precautionary measures to ensure safety of everyone. You guys are great in what you are doing! Keep it up!

Let me ask you, are you going to the Philippines, there are many people who don't follow the law, such as it is forbidden to cross the wrong crossing, then there are many people who urinate on the wall and on the tire of the car, many of us. even if they are not squatters, they do that and then at the railway crossing they cross even if there is a barrier because the train is about to pass and then they run to cross just think about it and then the trash and dog or cat poop is just thrown into the canal and anywhere then there are many stray dogs and cats that are left alone to defecate anywhere, that's why the Philippines is the ugliest country in the world, think it's better to go to China, Japan and South Korea, the people there are disciplined and know how to obey the law.
Here is a tip, if you are lost, ESPECIALLY in a mall, go talk to a security guard. The ones in white, who are inspecting at the entrances, and you can also find them patrolling the mall grounds. They will know, 80-90% of the time where a specific place or store might be.

Yes, it's different, it's clean, but it's not really clean. Look, the dirt is really different, even dog and cat poop is on the sidewalk because people don't care about our environment, so the Philippines will not develop while that son of Dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr. is sitting. that Ferdinand Bongbong Marcos Jr. and Filipinos will continue to suffer and Filipinos will not be disciplined here in our country, that's why I want to go to Japan because the Japanese are disciplined there, and there is not even a single dirt in Japan, not even garbage is scattered.
In all of the places in the Philippines that we've been visiting, our favorites are the authentic and non-tourist places. Eating the real local street foods and so on... we have 8 more episodes from PH still coming and can't wait to help show the world how awesome the country is!
Thanks for enjoying your visit to our country PHILIPPINES.THANKS FOR THE COMPLIMENT.HOPE YOU WILL VISIT AGAIN,& TELL IN THE INTIRE WORLD THE POSITIVE EXPERIENCE YOU EEXPERIENCE I OUR BELOVED COUNTRY.GOD BLESS & TAKE CARE N YOUR JOURNEY.
Love the video! We are Canadian vloggers who just visited Cebu, Bohol, El Nido and now just arrived in Manila. Looking forward to the culture, food and the people ❤️

The reason why Filipinos loves Christmas is because we love festivities and party , we love family and friends gatherings , feasting with food , exchanging gifts, playing party games , dancing and of course singing.. Christmas makes us feel so alive ,hopeful and optimistic about everything. Enjoy the Philippines .💖
@@honeybadger8413 we are christians..only Philippines mostly christians..the rest of asian countries and europe and USA 90% ARE PAGANS..im just telling the truth
We sure fell in love with your beautiful country! Everyone is so nice and the landscape is breathtaking. Many thanks to all filipinos for the hospitality ❤

We the Filipino people are Passionate to say the least! The views of your vlog for your Philippines trip is a testament but I am glad that you enjoyed your trip! I am a new subscriber, I sooo like how simple and unique your vlogging style, it is very unpretentious which makes viewers interested! Keep on! Mabuhay kayo! God bless!
Such an amazing thing to hear!! We truly appreciate you watching this episode and taking the time to provide your encouragement ❤️ Hope you're having a great weekend!
@@AlwaysBeChanging thanks for sharing. Next time can you share about the photog/videography tech that you're using? I'm really impressed with the overall quality of your vlogs 😍

I really enjoyed my Philippines vacation. The Filipinos are friendly, kind, hospitable, beautiful and most important they speak & understand English. The food is yummy& exciting. Ill be back soon. Mabuhay !
I am just blown away by your authenticity and eagerness to learn about different cultures and trying out local foods especially those from Philippines and Singapore. Im originally from the Philippines and have worked in Singapore for a decade before moving to LA. Thank you for bringing me back to these places which i consider home ❤. Lastly, your kids are all equally amazing just like you guys. Keep safe and cheers to more travels😊
Thanks :) It should definitely be at the TOP of your bucket list. Everywhere we go is so unique and so beautiful. Can't wait to share the rest of this trip.
You guys are awesome!!! You really did your research which makes your visit to the Philippines more enjoyable and your beautiful kids are game too !!! Remember, it's MORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES!!!
@@AlwaysBeChanging i just stumble upon ur channel while watching the news on youtube and i am still watching ur palawan vlogg. Enjoy !! Pls come visit again.

when was the last time u visited Phil btw sir? Dirtiest n the whole world. Hmmm, I think u are n the Philippines every day to see what it looks like n there. The Philippines is not a small island nation Phil has 7k + islands. there are maybe areas that are dirty esp like the secluded and squatter areas but I hope if u visit during the time of duterte and to present u will change ur mind. Before and now s much more different.

You guys are my new Bucketlist Family! I’m partial to your son❤ I always wait for his foodie comment 😂 I paid close attention to this episode bec we are visiting the Philippines this Dec. Thank you for this one!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much! 🤗 He really has such a great way of describing food. You are going to love the Philippines! It’s so magical there. The beauty is insane 🤩. I hope our upcoming episodes are helpful too!
In reality, the Philippines is the ugliest and dirtiest country in the world, you know why it's there first that throws garbage into the canal, even dog and cat poop is thrown into the canal, even oil, rice and other things that clog it are also thrown into the canal the second canal is the one who urinates on the side of the wall and then sees a cup urinating on the wheel of the car, is that the Philippines beautiful but the citizens are not disciplined and their public toilets still stink and they spit in reality so few only tourists because of our citizens who are not disciplined and only a few have persevered in the Philippines so actually it is not really good to go to the Philippines it is better to go to Thailand, Vietnam, South Korea, China, Japan and the USA because there are disciplined people that and there is no trash to be seen there must be a country to go to not the Philippines which is really rotten
The Philippines is the only country to celebrate Christmas very early. Once the name of the month ends with the "BER" (SeptemBER), most Filipinos start decorating their homes (malls and offices,too!) with Christmas decorations. I do that also but not until October. Hey, It's the fun in putting all the bling blings with all the members of the family that excites us all. And when Christmas Eve and Day arrives, families with the extended ones (some up to 3rd degree cousins or relatives), come together for the true meaning of why we celebrate it ------ GOD and FAMILY!..........GOD Bless you all!
Wow, this was actually a great, well-put-together video. You guys should definitely hit up the night food markets. Highly recommended. Also, Philippines has the longest Christmas season in the world, which starts during what they call the 'ber months'. That's why you started seeing in in Septem'ber' and that's gonna go on probably until Jan-Feb. Hope you guys have a very nice experience there in the Philippines. I miss it terribly, so I'm just gonna vicariously live through you guys for now if you don't mind. Godspeed and much love from Australia.
@@AlwaysBeChanging Im excited and looking forward to it. Visayas has a very rich history from the Japanese invasion to the Spanish colonisation to the Americans liberating it. I believe there was a US Army base in Cebu and General MacArthur's site is actually only an island away from Cebu called Red Beach Palo in Leyte.
a breath of fresh air to see the philippines from a non-budget but more of a high end lifestyle perspective! looking forward to where you will take us along 😊
I agree! That was a nice high end hotel and at the same time they were not afraid to try out different foods in Chinatown, or was it in Chinatown? Anyways, definitely refreshing to watch the whole family being so open minded to trying new things. Love it!
You can be high end and still be more down to earth. Take some cues from “Somebody feed Phil.” He’s probably much wealthier, but can also relate to everyone.

I just discovered your vlog and I love it so far! I love your energy! It feels like I'm watching an exciting travel documentary instead of a typical travel vlog - it's refreshing to watch!!! I haven't been home in eight years so it's really exciting to re-visit and explore my home country in the eyes of foreigners! - New subscriber from Germany

FYI... Philippines has the longest Christmas Season in the whole world. It's called the "Ber Months" which starts from September till December. Christmas Season starts very early because Philippines don't have Halloween and Thanksgiving... but now a days, Filipinos are starting to adapt to those events due to a huge western influence. In addition, Halloween in the PH has more similarities with Día de los Muertos event in Mexico without the skull costumes. Anyways, Welcome to PH and I hope you enjoy your stay! dont forget to bond with the locals to experience the real Filipino hospitality.
Thank you for explaining that! When we first arrived at the airport we couldn't figure out if they started decorating early or just left it up all year. I (Erin) could celebrate Christmas for three months! Phil likes to wait until after Thanksgiving - only giving us a month!! Too short :)
@@AlwaysBeChanging Halloween in PH is mostly celebrated by kids. They dressed up for trick or treats. Malls have lots of those cute kids in Halloween dresses. Bars and clubs have Halloween parties and that’s all.
Am a new subscruber here to show how filipinos appreciate to foriegner who give respect to our culture.salamat guys and enjoy.sure watch more of your vlog
For a minute, I thought I was watching an actual travel series for a lifestyle show. Amazing vlog! Welcome to the Philippines. ❤️ I hope you all enjoy your stay. 😊 Can't wait to see your next vlog. 🥰
Such a great compliment! Thank you for appreciating our labor of love. All of our experiences in the Philippines were incredible. We just hope we can do them justice with our episodes! 🥰 Our next one is in Coron and it’ll be out soon!!
Welcome to the Philippines! Don’t forget to visit the islands such as Boracay, Coron, El Nido, etc. You may also want to visit BGC while you’re in Manila. It’s a high-end business and lifestyle area in the metro. A tip: When going to the islands, fly with Philippine Airlines to avoid delays. Next-best option is Cebu Pacific. Enjoy your trip in PH!
Thanks! 😊 We we’re able to go to Coron, Boracay, Bohol and Cebu. And we found exactly what you mean about flight delays! We had one flight on Scoot and there was a three hour delay 🤯! But our other flights were on Philippine airlines and we didn’t have any problems. Thanks for watching!

Welcome to the Philippines! Now this is really good content! Video is well edited and you do research very well! Very impressive! Like the other comments here, Philippines has the longest Christmas in the world. We start by September till January. Keep it up guys! Great job on the video.
I haven’t been home for almost 20 years. I’m going home next year on my own. I used to go to Binondo with my family or friends when I was still living in Manila. I’m learning from your family’s trip lol! You’re helping me with my itinerary. Thank you for this!
Wow, a departure from the typical backpacker vlog.Visit Intramuros, the walled city. The centuries old churches around the area. Done at an authentic Filipino restaurant to taste Filipino cuisine. Since it is an archipelago comprised of thousands of islands, there are different cuisines in every island and regions. But, suggest you try our seafoods which are so varied and abundant! Enjoy your travels in the Ph and stay safe!
what the hell? this is soo professionally well made and you're still at 17k subs? you guys need more subs! btw my favorite part is when your little girl said she's a starfish LOL that one cracked me up!
Just a tip, a big percentage of us Filipinos speak English, to understand us, it just takes a bit of getting used to due to our accent, you have to listen very well, so it was a bit funny when you said there was a language barrier, we are one of the South East Asian countries with the highest English proficiency 😊
We didn't mean it as an insult, for sure... just that we may have gotten a bit lost in translation here and there. Regardless, it sure helped us that filipinos speak a lot of English! We love our Philippines travels and the people are the best! ❤️
@RareSidePotato I agree a 💯 % I will not be surprised if they will get more language barriers in other asian countries much more than the Philippines 😂 thanks for visiting the Philippines though.
Wow..thank you for visiting our country Philippines. And about Christmas here, most Filipinos started putting lights, lantern, Christmas Tree as the "Ber" month started, shall we say as early as September. That's why, the Philippines was considered as has the longest Christmas Holiday in the world.

Hello guys, first of all I love your vlogs. Thank you so much for appreciating a third world country like the 🇵🇭. I'm born and raised in the Philippines but now residing in Seattle Washington. Good luck guys and God Bless you and your whole 👪
The production quality of your video is amazing! It'll be something I want to emulate when I start travel vlogging with my family. Another thing I'll probably copy is your food crawl and your destinations. I was born and lived in Manila as a child but immigrated to the US just before my teenage years, so I have a LOT of catching up to do when I go back to the motherland.
Thank you for featuring and visiting our country THE PHILIPPINES. i wish you can get to visit our islands, enjoy our festivals, and try our food. Good luck and keep safe... Thank you for sharing
this video has a great vibe. welcome to the Philippines.. don't hesitate to asl around most of the people around you can speak English or at least understand you. Enjoy! 😊
My country may not be perfect, but you can still get best of us with our hospitality, friendliness, our food, the best tourist spots in the world. As a Filipino-American living in New York for 30+ years, it's time for me to go back an retire to my beloved Philippines.
@@AlwaysBeChanging oh thanks!!! I have to convince even my family members in the US to come visit the Phils!! They still haven’t visited because of so many misconceptions! Well, it’s their loss, your gain! 😅😄 I was just in the Phils a month after you visited!!! So missed home!! Next time, try go to the Salcedo Saturday Market!!! Everything’s there!!! You and the kids would love it!!! I go home because of this! Hehe

16:00 - Christmas in September... Yup! we start as soon as "BER" months come. 😁 Halloween is just 2 days squeezed in on Nov 1 n 2, and mall displays usually just cover 1 corner. But, Christmas! WOW!...

As for the security guards, I guess that it has been an standard practice for establishments to hire security personnel. Not necessarily because there is a threat, but it provides more job opportunities and create a safer environment. Notice that the security guards are not wearing police or military uniform, so no cause for concern. I hope you enjoy your stay in the Philippines! Thank you for contributing to the local economy!
Glad you made it safe... the suite looks amazing... and Manila looks like a fantastic place to wander and seems pretty affordable too. Thanks for bringing us along and blessings on your next steps.
Dieter, we've found that pretty much all of the Philippines is very affordable. Yesterday I was kicking myself for forgetting to negotiate a taxi fare before we arrived at the destination and then I had to ask how much the very short ride cost. The driver looked me in the eye and said "100 peso" and I felt like a dumb tourist... until I did the math and realized that it was $1.69 😂 By the way, we're heading into Cebu City today for some street food in your honor this morning. I'm a little nervous... I can handle the horse penis and testicles, the brains and the whole baby eels, but the half-baked duck embryos eaten out of the egg shell (assuming we can find someone selling them today) might get the best of me. Hope you're having a good weekend :)
@@AlwaysBeChanging OMG! I heard of those embryos but wouldn't wanna eat one hehe... hope you did and you can tell us how it was hehe... maybe it's tasty. Sounds like you have a strong stomach for the unusual and are in the right place for that hehe ;)
@@AlwaysBeChanging Thats called Balut, there are ways to eat balut, ask the seller for young day old balut so that the nastiest part will not be there the hair, peak and legs, much bigger yolk will be there, or just throw the parts that you do not like and eat the rest, and also there are restaurants or small store that cook balut already w/o the shell, sometimes with other ingredients fried or with sauce, Check it out
@@Indianinthemachine It'll be several weeks before that episode makes it up on TH-cam, but the day was a success and we did indeed eat the embryo. Amazingly, even Brooklyn (and Colt, of course) ate some 🤯
Thank you for featuring the heart of the Philippines, Manila..I'm glad that you enjoyed visiting our country and we appreciate a tourist like you guys..
Thank you so much for capturing the beauty of the Philippines and the Filipinos. We are so happy you had a great time. Hope you can explore other places aside from Manila so you can help us showcase to the world what our country has to offer. We have the best beaches and sites for snorkelling and diving but more than anything, the cheerful and hospitable people are our greatest treasures. Filipinos love to host and we love visitors. Thank you again. Mabuhay!
Great video. I am a retired American who lives in the province in the Philippines. Your children were surprised about the Christmas stuff in September. The Christmas celebration starts on 1 September in the Philippines. They say any month that ends in BER is Christmas. Their is no holiday in that period like Thanksgiving to wait for. I hope you enjoyed the Philippines as it is a true paradise. God Bless!
I like how you do your vlogs, very informative and clear. You know how to balance it out, straight to the point and not dragging. You are natural in front of the camera. Some vloggers are just too cheesy / corny, with over the top reactions to new places. Coming here from the CORON vlog, I guess going backwards LOL.
So cool seeing a whole family vlog visiting Philippines! Hope you’re staying there for at least 2 weeks or more to really visit a lot of places. Kudos to you parents for taking your kids there especially for letting them experience of Filipino culture! Have fun!
yea i think it's mostly safe for tourists and foreigners. i think the robbing is mostly toward other Filipinos. unless it's taxis. taxis are always overcharging tourists
Much much safer than the US. Here high rate of crime ,no respect for the police . 2 police got killed again . Mass shooting in North Carolina . Everyday shooting and more . So much violence here now cos lots drugs , guns to wrong people . God bless us 🙏🏻🙏🏻
It's incredible that such a powerful typhoon didn't end up causing any problems with us getting into Manila the next day. We're grateful for that because we had such an amazing time!
This was such a great video! I enjoyed every single second of it - so surprising you don’t have higher subscribers but I’m sure you will be in the millions soon! Keep up the great work, this video was so fun to watch!
The Christmas season in the Philippines is the longest in the world. The "Ber Months," which run from September through December, are known as such. Because Halloween and Thanksgiving are not celebrated in the Philippines, Christmas season begins relatively early. However, because of the strong influence of the west, Filipinos are starting to adjust to those events nowadays. Even though there hasn't been a severe threat to our country in a long time, the Philippines has conventional security procedures in place to protect everyone's safety. You guys are excellent at what you do! Keep going!
Thank you! We are going to miss it too when we leave. We're sad we only have two more days left on this long trip. Everywhere we've been has been incredible.
@@AlwaysBeChanging We should be thanking you-for coming to try what our Motherland can offer. ...and may I mention the country’s greatest asset-its people. I hope you are noticing all the warm SMILES all over the place!
Welcome to Manila 🇵🇭! All BER-MONTHS is Christmas time in PH 💕 Thankyou for visiting. As for the communication I believe there’s not much language barrier because most of Filipino can speak and understand English.😊 enjoy and stay safe , be aware always on your trips. Godbless

@@regiecadiang2182 I don’t deny that as I witnessed it by myself and I was born there so yeah, but some province are not that dirty like where I used to lived, and in my opinion that manila is most dangerous place and you have to be aware about everything there. But I still love my country regardless of being one of the poverty country. There’s always positive and negative sides about everything :)
@@Sazsy005 The province is not a dirty country, but someone urinates on the wall and then there is the person who throws garbage, even if it's not just in Manila, but in the province as well.
@@Sazsy005 Let me ask you, are you going to the Philippines, there are many people who don't follow the law, such as it is forbidden to cross the wrong crossing, then there are many people who urinate on the wall and on the tire of the car, many of us. even if they are not squatters, they do that and then at the railway crossing they cross even if there is a barrier because the train is about to pass and then they run to cross just think about it and then the trash and dog or cat poop is just thrown into the canal and anywhere then there are many stray dogs and cats that are left alone to defecate anywhere, that's why the Philippines is the ugliest country in the world, think it's better to go to China, Japan and South Korea, the people there are disciplined and know how to obey the law.
Man, thank you for visiting the PH! It's wonderful here ain't it? Please continue to encourage other people to visit the PH. It really means the world to us!
I'm 52 and about the security and metal detector you mentioned. It's always been that way since I was in high school or probably even longer. To be honest, it gives us the confidence and comfort that we are safe anywhere we go. I wouldn't have it any other way. 😊

Did you notice that Filipino viewers are incredibly insane? Look how huge the difference of views of your video in your non Philippine Vlog. It's like 3x more. We love to support our visitors as part of our hospitality. A simple way to say how we appreciate that you tried our culture and you experience our country. Lots of Love from Philippines to your family. ❤️🥰
We have definitely noticed 🤗 We met the kindest people in Philippines and we’re still seeing so much kindness online. Thank you 🙏.
Yes there videos mostly filipino viewers all foreigners vloggers got lots of filipino viewers and supporters
You can also do a meet and greet once youre Manila before leaving. You'll be surprised that maybe around 50 will show up and it will make you feel and feel good about yourself that traveling with your family is possible, its fun and its a good memory that your kids will have as they grow. Lots of love. Thank you ❤️🥰
Palahanga kasi ang mga Pinoy e Lalo na sa mga puti.
yeah right...that is the reason many foreign vloggers are make vlogs about our country ,PHILIPPINES...😛😊
This is how a vlog should be. You explain, you describe, you tell your experience on places, food you experience. Kudos to you guys.
Thank you so much! It means a lot that you appreciate our blog style 🤗
Seriously. It's great editing and the quick and concise info is intermediate to advance level. Also liked that you guys weren't deterred by the obstacles/challenges. I enjoyed this a lot. 👏👏😁
@@AlwaysBeChanging keep safe and enjoy our country
They’re used to traveling. When tourists are open-minded, they are educated and frequent travelers.
Enjoy the culture and stay safe!
In terms of food, the Philippines is the best, but the truth is that the whole Philippines is dirty and almost 80% of the Filipinos there are undisciplined because there are people who throw garbage in the canal and that animal excrement is also thrown there and there are a lot of people spitting everywhere even on the road they are spitting the truth is really disgusting the Philippines is the dirtiest country in the whole world for me it's just that even citizens in the Philippines 90% to 95% are undisciplined and don't care about the environment is better to visit China, South Korea and Japan, the people there are disciplined, even if it's just the environment, it's not really good to visit the Philippines.
Ive seen a lot of Foreign Vloggers that went and featured the Philippines and you guys are so far the most respectful, well-structured and coolest vloggers. You guys were so interesting to watch. It’s so great to see a whole Family doing travel vlogs. I hope you really enjoyed my country 🇵🇭
🙏 Thank you! We really did enjoy every aspect of the Philippines.
I have to agree with your observations. This video is well thought
Those extra securities are a standard here in the Philippines, we really never had any serious threat all but they're just doing extra precautionary measures to ensure safety of everyone. You guys are great in what you are doing! Keep it up!
Thank you! 🙏 Appreciate the support. We felt very safe everywhere we went.
It's guys like you that makes us Filipinos try harder to make you feel comfortable and enjoying your stay.MABUHAY TO OUR DEAR VISITORS.

Here is a tip, if you are lost, ESPECIALLY in a mall, go talk to a security guard. The ones in white, who are inspecting at the entrances, and you can also find them patrolling the mall grounds. They will know, 80-90% of the time where a specific place or store might be.
and you can call them Kuya or Manong Guard.

Thank you so much 🤗 I’m so glad you found our channel.
Yes, it's different, it's clean, but it's not really clean. Look, the dirt is really different, even dog and cat poop is on the sidewalk because people don't care about our environment, so the Philippines will not develop while that son of Dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr. is sitting. that Ferdinand Bongbong Marcos Jr. and Filipinos will continue to suffer and Filipinos will not be disciplined here in our country, that's why I want to go to Japan because the Japanese are disciplined there, and there is not even a single dirt in Japan, not even garbage is scattered.
YOU MEAN THEY HAVE CLASS OF ALL THE VLOGGERS THAT YOU SEE OR WATCH ON TH-cam…. 😂✌️🙌👌👍👍👍👍
refreshing to see these high end tourist family not just sugar coating manila like other patronizing vloggers thank u very much
In all of the places in the Philippines that we've been visiting, our favorites are the authentic and non-tourist places. Eating the real local street foods and so on... we have 8 more episodes from PH still coming and can't wait to help show the world how awesome the country is!

The reason why Filipinos loves Christmas is because we love festivities and party , we love family and friends gatherings , feasting with food , exchanging gifts, playing party games , dancing and of course singing.. Christmas makes us feel so alive ,hopeful and optimistic about everything. Enjoy the Philippines .💖

when was the last time u visited Phil btw sir? Dirtiest n the whole world. Hmmm, I think u are n the Philippines every day to see what it looks like n there. The Philippines is not a small island nation Phil has 7k + islands. there are maybe areas that are dirty esp like the secluded and squatter areas but I hope if u visit during the time of duterte and to present u will change ur mind. Before and now s much more different.

This is the most PROFESSIONAL LOOKING VLOG I've ever seen
Wow! That’s a huge compliment! We really appreciate the encouragement. Thanks for watching!
I am Filipino and I love this family. Way to go!
In reality, the Philippines is the ugliest and dirtiest country in the world, you know why it's there first that throws garbage into the canal, even dog and cat poop is thrown into the canal, even oil, rice and other things that clog it are also thrown into the canal the second canal is the one who urinates on the side of the wall and then sees a cup urinating on the wheel of the car, is that the Philippines beautiful but the citizens are not disciplined and their public toilets still stink and they spit in reality so few only tourists because of our citizens who are not disciplined and only a few have persevered in the Philippines so actually it is not really good to go to the Philippines it is better to go to Thailand, Vietnam, South Korea, China, Japan and the USA because there are disciplined people that and there is no trash to be seen there must be a country to go to not the Philippines which is really rotten
The way you are exposing your kids to these cuisines through your travels is awesome. They will enjoy life more with no food hangups.
I enjoyed the vibe. Your family is adorable. I love Colt's commentary everytime you guys try new food/cuisine. Welcome to the Philippines!
Thank you so much!! 😁
It's usually couples and nomads who travel the Philippines. This is unique and interesting that it's an entire family traveling!
We love traveling with our kids! Taking them to the Philippines has been a eye opening and wonderful for them as it’s been for us 🥰
@@AlwaysBeChanging it's beautiful to see and it's evident in how your kids are well-rounded and has strong characters because of it.
This is really helpful. I’m Filipino but haven’t been to Binondo for decades. Now I know where to go when I go there. Thanks
So happy it’s helpful!! 🤗
The Philippines is the only country to celebrate Christmas very early. Once the name of the month ends with the "BER" (SeptemBER), most Filipinos start decorating their homes (malls and offices,too!) with Christmas decorations. I do that also but not until October. Hey, It's the fun in putting all the bling blings with all the members of the family that excites us all. And when Christmas Eve and Day arrives, families with the extended ones (some up to 3rd degree cousins or relatives), come together for the true meaning of why we celebrate it ------ GOD and FAMILY!..........GOD Bless you all!
i love it! your shots looks so professional and your voice is perfect for a host. Hope your enjoying your philippine trips.
Mabuhay!
Welcome to the Phillipines and thank you for visiting Manila.
😊❤️
We are so happy to visit Manila and explore other areas of the Philippines. It’s incredible here! 🥰
Wow, this was actually a great, well-put-together video. You guys should definitely hit up the night food markets. Highly recommended. Also, Philippines has the longest Christmas season in the world, which starts during what they call the 'ber months'. That's why you started seeing in in Septem'ber' and that's gonna go on probably until Jan-Feb.
Hope you guys have a very nice experience there in the Philippines. I miss it terribly, so I'm just gonna vicariously live through you guys for now if you don't mind. Godspeed and much love from Australia.
Thank you!! We'll be curious to hear your thoughts on our upcoming Cebu City episode... Lots of food markets and street food in that one 👍🏼
@@AlwaysBeChanging Im excited and looking forward to it. Visayas has a very rich history from the Japanese invasion to the Spanish colonisation to the Americans liberating it. I believe there was a US Army base in Cebu and General MacArthur's site is actually only an island away from Cebu called Red Beach Palo in Leyte.
I enjoyed the sincerity and realness of your video. No gimmicks No hidden agendas just sharing personal experiences
Thank you. We really appreciate that!
a breath of fresh air to see the philippines from a non-budget but more of a high end lifestyle perspective! looking forward to where you will take us along 😊
Thank you! I’m so glad you found our channel. Next, we’re in Coron and it’s absolutely gorgeous!
@@AlwaysBeChanging Try going to BGC/Bonifacio Global City when you come back to Manila.
I agree! That was a nice high end hotel and at the same time they were not afraid to try out different foods in Chinatown, or was it in Chinatown? Anyways, definitely refreshing to watch the whole family being so open minded to trying new things. Love it!
You can be high end and still be more down to earth. Take some cues from “Somebody feed Phil.” He’s probably much wealthier, but can also relate to everyone.

FYI... Philippines has the longest Christmas Season in the whole world. It's called the "Ber Months" which starts from September till December. Christmas Season starts very early because Philippines don't have Halloween and Thanksgiving... but now a days, Filipinos are starting to adapt to those events due to a huge western influence. In addition, Halloween in the PH has more similarities with Día de los Muertos event in Mexico without the skull costumes. Anyways, Welcome to PH and I hope you enjoy your stay! dont forget to bond with the locals to experience the real Filipino hospitality.
Thank you for explaining that! When we first arrived at the airport we couldn't figure out if they started decorating early or just left it up all year. I (Erin) could celebrate Christmas for three months! Phil likes to wait until after Thanksgiving - only giving us a month!! Too short :)
who asked?
@@AlwaysBeChanging Halloween in PH is mostly celebrated by kids. They dressed up for trick or treats. Malls have lots of those cute kids in Halloween dresses. Bars and clubs have Halloween parties and that’s all.

Such a great compliment! Thank you for appreciating our labor of love. All of our experiences in the Philippines were incredible. We just hope we can do them justice with our episodes! 🥰 Our next one is in Coron and it’ll be out soon!!
Thank you! That’s so encouraging. We can’t wait to share our next episode too! Should be out soon 🤗
Welcome to the Philippines! Don’t forget to visit the islands such as Boracay, Coron, El Nido, etc. You may also want to visit BGC while you’re in Manila. It’s a high-end business and lifestyle area in the metro.
A tip: When going to the islands, fly with Philippine Airlines to avoid delays. Next-best option is Cebu Pacific.
Enjoy your trip in PH!
Thanks! 😊 We we’re able to go to Coron, Boracay, Bohol and Cebu. And we found exactly what you mean about flight delays! We had one flight on Scoot and there was a three hour delay 🤯! But our other flights were on Philippine airlines and we didn’t have any problems.
Thanks for watching!
also if you have time please visit the summer capital of the Philippines.. Baguio City... The coldest climate in the country

Welcome to the Philippines! Now this is really good content! Video is well edited and you do research very well! Very impressive! Like the other comments here, Philippines has the longest Christmas in the world. We start by September till January. Keep it up guys! Great job on the video.
Colt is so well spoken! I was playing your video to play in the background while I work and I literally had to stop work to comment.
Thank you! Lol that’s a big compliment 😊
I haven’t been home for almost 20 years. I’m going home next year on my own. I used to go to Binondo with my family or friends when I was still living in Manila. I’m learning from your family’s trip lol! You’re helping me with my itinerary. Thank you for this!
Why on your own?
Wow, a departure from the typical backpacker vlog.Visit Intramuros, the walled city. The centuries old churches around the area. Done at an authentic Filipino restaurant to taste Filipino cuisine. Since it is an archipelago comprised of thousands of islands, there are different cuisines in every island and regions. But, suggest you try our seafoods which are so varied and abundant!
Enjoy your travels in the Ph and stay safe!
what the hell? this is soo professionally well made and you're still at 17k subs? you guys need more subs! btw my favorite part is when your little girl said she's a starfish LOL that one cracked me up!
Thank you!! Not sure if this makes it better or worse, but three weeks ago we were at 5000 subs! 🙈
Love that you brought your kids along. I hope they enjoy the experience and learn new things!
Thanks 🙏. We were hesitant at first but we love traveling with our kids! Wouldn’t have it any other way.
Once September hits, its Christmas season already. It gives us Filipinos a since of hope and something to look forward to❤
When we say mall, we give you everything you need.
WELCOME TO PHILIPPINES 😊
Haha! So true. When what we really needed was a map 🤦♀️. Definitely the largest mall we’ve ever been in.
Just a tip, a big percentage of us Filipinos speak English, to understand us, it just takes a bit of getting used to due to our accent, you have to listen very well, so it was a bit funny when you said there was a language barrier, we are one of the South East Asian countries with the highest English proficiency 😊
We didn't mean it as an insult, for sure... just that we may have gotten a bit lost in translation here and there. Regardless, it sure helped us that filipinos speak a lot of English! We love our Philippines travels and the people are the best! ❤️
@RareSidePotato I agree a 💯 %
I will not be surprised if they will get more language barriers in other asian countries much more than the Philippines 😂 thanks for visiting the Philippines though.
Wow..thank you for visiting our country Philippines. And about Christmas here, most Filipinos started putting lights, lantern, Christmas Tree as the "Ber" month started, shall we say as early as September. That's why, the Philippines was considered as has the longest Christmas Holiday in the world.
Love it! It was a bit of a surprise, but it's very cool knowing that it's such a big focus for the Philippines ❤️

Hello guys, first of all I love your vlogs.
Thank you so much for appreciating a third world country like the 🇵🇭.
I'm born and raised in the Philippines but now residing in Seattle Washington.
Good luck guys and God Bless you and your whole 👪
This couple are obviously smart the way they speak so articulate and detailed. Welcome to Philippines.
Thank you for visiting our beloved country the Philippines..proud Filipino here in Kuwait 🇰🇼🇰🇼🙏 God bless to your family..
Thank you for being so welcoming! ❤️🇵🇭
Enjoy your stay guys. Philippines has everything when it comes to food.
The production quality of your video is amazing! It'll be something I want to emulate when I start travel vlogging with my family. Another thing I'll probably copy is your food crawl and your destinations. I was born and lived in Manila as a child but immigrated to the US just before my teenage years, so I have a LOT of catching up to do when I go back to the motherland.
Thank you!! I think it's amazing that you're planning to travel and vlog with your family. We've found so much value in it :)
Thank you for featuring and visiting our country THE PHILIPPINES. i wish you can get to visit our islands, enjoy our festivals, and try our food. Good luck and keep safe... Thank you for sharing
this video has a great vibe. welcome to the Philippines.. don't hesitate to asl around most of the people around you can speak English or at least understand you. Enjoy! 😊
My country may not be perfect, but you can still get best of us with our hospitality, friendliness, our food, the best tourist spots in the world. As a Filipino-American living in New York for 30+ years, it's time for me to go back an retire to my beloved Philippines.
Bye!
@@bigdawg7405 lol 😆😆
Welcome to Philippines guys..👋 I hope you're enjoying our country. Takecare and godbless🙏🙏🙏
I’m starting to love your family! I’m Filipino so I’m just so proud that you could see the beauty of our country!
It’s so easy to see the beauty in the Philippines 🥰
@@AlwaysBeChanging oh thanks!!! I have to convince even my family members in the US to come visit the Phils!! They still haven’t visited because of so many misconceptions! Well, it’s their loss, your gain! 😅😄 I was just in the Phils a month after you visited!!! So missed home!! Next time, try go to the Salcedo Saturday Market!!! Everything’s there!!! You and the kids would love it!!! I go home because of this! Hehe
@@NM_18E In reality, the Philippines is the ugliest and dirtiest country in the world, you know why it's there first that throws garbage into the canal, even dog and cat poop is thrown into the canal, even oil, rice and other things that clog it are also thrown into the canal the second canal is the one who urinates on the side of the wall and then sees a cup urinating on the wheel of the car, is that the Philippines beautiful but the citizens are not disciplined and their public toilets still stink and they spit in reality so few only tourists because of our citizens who are not disciplined and only a few have persevered in the Philippines so actually it is not really good to go to the Philippines it is better to go to Thailand, Vietnam, South Korea, China, Japan and the USA because there are disciplined people that and there is no trash to be seen there must be a country to go to not the Philippines which is really rotten
you guys deserve more subs, the quality of the video, story telling, and family bonding is just insanely good.
We really appreciate that! Our channel is growing every day and it's because of viewers like you who appreciate our work. Thank you :)
Wow hands down to your kids! Very obedient and cool. No drama at all. 😊😊
Thank you!! Someday we’ll show the behind the scenes 😉. But in all seriousness, the are great kids and we’re very proud of them!
I'm filipino and also traveller. You are the kind of Family that filipino wants to take to every non touristy spot, will cook food for! You guys are awesome and I love how genuine your vlog is!
Thank you soooo much! We love you guys ❤❤
In terms of food, the Philippines is the best, but the truth is that the whole Philippines is dirty and almost 80% of the Filipinos there are undisciplined because there are people who throw garbage in the canal and that animal excrement is also thrown there and there are a lot of people spitting everywhere even on the road they are spitting the truth is really disgusting the Philippines is the dirtiest country in the whole world for me it's just that even citizens in the Philippines 90% to 95% are undisciplined and don't care about the environment is better to visit China, South Korea and Japan, the people there are disciplined, even if it's just the environment, it's not really good to visit the Philippines.
Enjoy your Philippines visit!
Hope your family will have a great time in the Philippines!
Let me ask you, are you going to the Philippines, there are many people who don't follow the law, such as it is forbidden to cross the wrong crossing, then there are many people who urinate on the wall and on the tire of the car, many of us. even if they are not squatters, they do that and then at the railway crossing they cross even if there is a barrier because the train is about to pass and then they run to cross just think about it and then the trash and dog or cat poop is just thrown into the canal and anywhere then there are many stray dogs and cats that are left alone to defecate anywhere, that's why the Philippines is the ugliest country in the world, think it's better to go to China, Japan and South Korea, the people there are disciplined and know how to obey the law.
16:00 - Christmas in September... Yup! we start as soon as "BER" months come. 😁
Halloween is just 2 days squeezed in on Nov 1 n 2, and mall displays usually just cover 1 corner.
But, Christmas! WOW!...
Thanks
❤️
Good job everyone. That is Tourism vlogging all about! Thank you for exploring our country the Philippines!!!
Thank you so much! We appreciate the compliment, it’s encouraging 🙏

As for the security guards, I guess that it has been an standard practice for establishments to hire security personnel. Not necessarily because there is a threat, but it provides more job opportunities and create a safer environment. Notice that the security guards are not wearing police or military uniform, so no cause for concern. I hope you enjoy your stay in the Philippines! Thank you for contributing to the local economy!
Glad you made it safe... the suite looks amazing... and Manila looks like a fantastic place to wander and seems pretty affordable too. Thanks for bringing us along and blessings on your next steps.
Dieter, we've found that pretty much all of the Philippines is very affordable. Yesterday I was kicking myself for forgetting to negotiate a taxi fare before we arrived at the destination and then I had to ask how much the very short ride cost. The driver looked me in the eye and said "100 peso" and I felt like a dumb tourist... until I did the math and realized that it was $1.69 😂 By the way, we're heading into Cebu City today for some street food in your honor this morning. I'm a little nervous... I can handle the horse penis and testicles, the brains and the whole baby eels, but the half-baked duck embryos eaten out of the egg shell (assuming we can find someone selling them today) might get the best of me. Hope you're having a good weekend :)
@@AlwaysBeChanging OMG! I heard of those embryos but wouldn't wanna eat one hehe... hope you did and you can tell us how it was hehe... maybe it's tasty. Sounds like you have a strong stomach for the unusual and are in the right place for that hehe ;)
@@AlwaysBeChanging Thats called Balut, there are ways to eat balut, ask the seller for young day old balut so that the nastiest part will not be there the hair, peak and legs, much bigger yolk will be there, or just throw the parts that you do not like and eat the rest, and also there are restaurants or small store that cook balut already w/o the shell, sometimes with other ingredients fried or with sauce, Check it out
@@jesuscatangay2856 We ended up doing an 18-day embryo!
@@Indianinthemachine It'll be several weeks before that episode makes it up on TH-cam, but the day was a success and we did indeed eat the embryo. Amazingly, even Brooklyn (and Colt, of course) ate some 🤯
Filipino viewer watching here. ❤ Thanks for visiting and showcasing our country 🤩
Thank you for visiting and promoting my country Philippines. God bless you have a lovely family...
We're grateful for the opportunity to visit your beautiful country!
Thank you for featuring the heart of the Philippines, Manila..I'm glad that you enjoyed visiting our country and we appreciate a tourist like you guys..
We really did 🥰 Thank you for your support!
Welcome to the Philippines 🇵🇭 what a beautiful family🥰enjoy your stay and have lots of fun😍
Thank you so much for capturing the beauty of the Philippines and the Filipinos. We are so happy you had a great time. Hope you can explore other places aside from Manila so you can help us showcase to the world what our country has to offer. We have the best beaches and sites for snorkelling and diving but more than anything, the cheerful and hospitable people are our greatest treasures. Filipinos love to host and we love visitors. Thank you again. Mabuhay!
Great video. I am a retired American who lives in the province in the Philippines. Your children were surprised about the Christmas stuff in September. The Christmas celebration starts on 1 September in the Philippines. They say any month that ends in BER is Christmas. Their is no holiday in that period like Thanksgiving to wait for. I hope you enjoyed the Philippines as it is a true paradise. God Bless!
I like your video. Your kids are very well mannered. Good people. Thanks for the video.
I like how you do your vlogs, very informative and clear. You know how to balance it out, straight to the point and not dragging. You are natural in front of the camera. Some vloggers are just too cheesy / corny, with over the top reactions to new places. Coming here from the CORON vlog, I guess going backwards LOL.
Thank you much! It means a lot to hear 😊
So cool seeing a whole family vlog visiting Philippines! Hope you’re staying there for at least 2 weeks or more to really visit a lot of places. Kudos to you parents for taking your kids there especially for letting them experience of Filipino culture! Have fun!
Don’t worry you’re safe in the Philippines . Good people , happy kind people . Very respectful also . Enjoy !😊
haha you sure? so many criminals here not to mention NPAs and Abu Sayyaf....the Philippines is one dangerous place
yea i think it's mostly safe for tourists and foreigners. i think the robbing is mostly toward other Filipinos. unless it's taxis. taxis are always overcharging tourists
Much much safer than the US. Here high rate of crime ,no respect for the police . 2 police got killed again . Mass shooting in North Carolina . Everyday shooting and more . So much violence here now cos lots drugs , guns to wrong people . God bless us 🙏🏻🙏🏻
i hope you guys are doin' okay during the typhoon. we filipinos live with it :)
It's incredible that such a powerful typhoon didn't end up causing any problems with us getting into Manila the next day. We're grateful for that because we had such an amazing time!
@@AlwaysBeChanging i'm happy for you guys. wishing you all the best in life
This was such a great video! I enjoyed every single second of it - so surprising you don’t have higher subscribers but I’m sure you will be in the millions soon! Keep up the great work, this video was so fun to watch!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 We appreciate you!
Thank you SO MUCH for appreciating our country.your always welcome to the Philippines🥰🥰🥰
The Christmas season in the Philippines is the longest in the world. The "Ber Months," which run from September through December, are known as such. Because Halloween and Thanksgiving are not celebrated in the Philippines, Christmas season begins relatively early. However, because of the strong influence of the west, Filipinos are starting to adjust to those events nowadays. Even though there hasn't been a severe threat to our country in a long time, the Philippines has conventional security procedures in place to protect everyone's safety. You guys are excellent at what you do! Keep going!
Great vid! :D I miss the Philippines so much!
Thank you! We are going to miss it too when we leave. We're sad we only have two more days left on this long trip. Everywhere we've been has been incredible.
@@AlwaysBeChanging
We should be thanking you-for coming to try what our Motherland can offer.
...and may I mention the country’s greatest asset-its people. I hope you are noticing all the warm SMILES all over the place!
Welcome to Manila 🇵🇭! All BER-MONTHS is Christmas time in PH 💕 Thankyou for visiting.
As for the communication I believe there’s not much language barrier because most of Filipino can speak and understand English.😊 enjoy and stay safe , be aware always on your trips. Godbless

@@regiecadiang2182 I don’t deny that as I witnessed it by myself and I was born there so yeah, but some province are not that dirty like where I used to lived, and in my opinion that manila is most dangerous place and you have to be aware about everything there.
But I still love my country regardless of being one of the poverty country. There’s always positive and negative sides about everything :)
@@Sazsy005 The province is not a dirty country, but someone urinates on the wall and then there is the person who throws garbage, even if it's not just in Manila, but in the province as well.

Man, thank you for visiting the PH! It's wonderful here ain't it?
Please continue to encourage other people to visit the PH. It really means the world to us!
Yes, it is so wonderful in the Philippines!
Loving the vlog. Taking me back to why my home country's so mesmerizing. The culture of food and music. The country has soul. Beauty and kindness
Thank you :) I hope you catch all our other episodes in the Philippines. Incredible country! So different at every stop!
I love the energy of this family
Thank you! 🥰
I'm 52 and about the security and metal detector you mentioned. It's always been that way since I was in high school or probably even longer. To be honest, it gives us the confidence and comfort that we are safe anywhere we go. I wouldn't have it any other way. 😊
Agreed. We weren't sure if it was related to a new threat or recent event, but knowing that it's just general security precautions... We can dig it :)
Kidnapping is a real thing there.
Kidnapping is real and so is terrorism.
