After spending nearly 1 year of my life in the Philippines, I have noticed several wacky things about Filipino culture. Here are 5 of them that stand out to me the most about Filipino Culture!
Do you have anything else to add to this list about the way of life in the Philippines?
P.S. This video is not intended to be rude or offensive -- it's made out of pure good intentions. As many of you know, the Philippines is my favorite country in the world and my second home!

Drew: filipinos are friendly.
Me, a introverted and socially anxious filipino: *oH.*
cough cough streotypicial Filipino cough
you tell yourself your introvert, so you are just making yourself one.
Im socially awkward but its actually hard being able to stay alone here, i dont usually strike up conversations first but its easy to get along with someone.. sa totoo lang mas mahirap maging introvert kesa sa extrovert para sakin hahahah
Hi
Lol
The last one actually is really us Filipino. we didn't mean anything bad when we ask stuff like that. it's like a normal comment to a friend. but yah in other nationality it's like rude or as what u said being nosy..
Cris Minabrie17 to a friend, sure! no prob. but to strangers? asking them if they’re married or have partners, kids, income? naaaah. that’s just too nosy!
@@hawthornroot no, its just us sure we are pretty nosy but thats just to ensure you if you ok or comfortable its not really to insult
icey melt nganga! u just said ur nosy sabay ”we want to ensure you...if ur ok” abaw! those personal questions to strangers wont ensure no stranger, they will certainly make no one comfortable!
@@hawthornroot well you have a point but other than that its really not our intention to be rude on other occasions we dont really realize if were rude or not so basically its not really our fault for being like that also sorry if sounded like a hate comment
icey melt it’s ok. i didnt take ur comment as a hate comment. all im saying is that strangers getting asked too personal question wouldnt wanna answer them and will consider the one asking nosy whether the one asking mean it in a ”good way”. just dont ask personal question like if someone’s married, how many kids he/she has etc. lol
I didn't know spoon and fork is weird
levitator45 hahaha you're really pinoy
I really thought using a spoon for eating solid food was normal Until now
Alangan naman we eat rice with a knife
Kapag kumakain kami sa fancy resto ganun ako🤣😂
+levitator45 you do 0.0
how even
I actually like it when my filipino friends tell me their honest opinion about what they think of my current look. Back in the US, they will just say "it looks good" almost everytime even if my new appearance is bad so I wouldn't lose confidence.
My filipino friends may poke fun of me when I change something that doesn't suit their taste but at least I get an honest unfiltered feedback. And even if they may laugh at my current look, deep down they are deeply concerned and is just looking out for my greater good.
So true🤣all of it and very Filipino this one instead of saying hello they smile😁
Quench Gamer TV ikr 😂
True true
Hahaha true
nah they raise their eyebrows
and we
have the fastest wifi in the world
Rafi Fathan 😂😂
LOL
so fast that it took us 10 hours to upload 8 minutes vlog 🤣
lol. and the cheapest in the world (sarcasm).
the sarcasm tho😂😂
Rafi Fathan hahaha
I am a filipino and i think filipino time is so disrespectful, especially to those who make an effort to get ready really early just to be on time.
ikr? finally, someone agrees.
I’m Filipino and my parents are always super early to things that happen like an hour later
lalo na 5 ka nagising para pupunta ka sa 9 am shift kainis
Sometimes i wake up early and be late bacause of traffic, so i get to wake up late now
Tangina hahahah
I completely agree. I fucking hate it and it's a waste of time. Plus the person who arrives late just laughs it off.
I'm from the Sultanate of Oman. We have a lot of Filipinos here. I can say that they're very friendly and welcoming.
Kamostka
Kumusta
Its kamusta ka not kamostka
It's kamusta not kamostka but it's ok naman!
Love from the Philippines ❤
Being introvert is difficult here in Philippines, people will ask you things you'd rather don't talk about like personal life and you will be considered bad mannered if you directly say you don't want to talk about it. And the selfie culture is quite annoying, there is no purpose there, i still don't get it.
Carmela Camba not all the videos are truth. Sure we ask sometimes like that, but we understand the so called "privacy"... and we value everyone's feeling.
Aries G. Raymundo no need to defend people, if it doesn't apply to you then you are not who i'm talking about.
tbh i can relate
edgy
same, as an introverted grade 9 student I'm forced to attend school activities I don't even want to attend by my own free will smh
The Philippines are looking really cool. Hope to be there one time
Penetrationskommentar yeah,really cool!!then try balut
Do not forget to visit Palawan when u come to us! It's a must visit place here in the Philippines. Also Cebu (not just a good place but also very cheap there).
Penetrationskommentar heres the price america to philipines: 8k USD UK to Philipines: 5k USD
You wouldnt like it.....*SHOWS filipinos playing online games*
Meaning they swear alot more than satan can ever do
@@seyan2761
Wow
Using water instead of toilet paper? I thought that was normal!
Foreign countries don't hotdogs on their spaghetti?!?
How can you eat without spoons!? ... no, wait... coz there's no rice, right?
I thought it was spelled "balot" 😅 and they are one of my favorite
Filipino time... i have no excuse for that. Ehehe..he...
Noisy people, nope not me. But everyone around me are. And i do love them 😊
.now i feel like an alien on earth 😨😵😂
Zatzu Uy my family is way louder than yours when my tita (aunt) when you’re upstairs you can here her laugh even if you lock the door and put pillows on your ears with earplugs
Nosy hindi Noisy. nosy ay papansin o curiuos
"don't hotdogs" 😑
@@jodibodilodi thats nothing compare to my nephew when he snors in his sleep! Its a nightmare sleeping in his house. Lol
What? Nope, the toilet paper is a must in the West. Also in Hispanic countries rice is eaten a lot, as much as in Asia, but knives and forks are widely used, spoons are heavily used and its the most normal to eat only with a spoon without forks and knives, but using forks and spoons? That's odd as fuck my dude. Also I like spaghetti and sausages, they're great.
dark side of the Philippines:
1. 3 million hungry children
2. Corruption
3. Pollution
4. Unavoidable deaths due to ignorance
5. slow internet
6. Technology is surpassed by other countries
7. Third world country
Definitely number 5
Blame PLDT
I blame duterte
I blame Cory Aquino
Being a 3rd world isnt a darkside.....
Egg well ya can’t blame on us,we had to blame the Spanish assholes for using up our resources
And Very Nice Foods
YASSSSS ! totally agree
NickKamekazi every critic I saw says that it taste bland I disagree never let someone decide if you like it or not because these critics have to mind .filipino food taste so gooooood
Just don't buy food from people that makes them in a disgusting place.
Yes thank you for saying that
Filipino food tastes weird in a good way
Your channel is growing!
My mom to my grandma: “5 minutes away”
My mom: NAK YOU GET MY TOWEL I HAVENT SHOWERED YET! YOUR LOLA WANTS US THERE NA
Thank you so much for the great infos.
Indonesians and Thais also use spoon and fork to eat
yes !
Indonesians got it from the dutch and Thais acquired from the british guests.
But then we also use hands to eat sometimes
I'm a Filipino and I would like to say hello to you my friend
I love indonesians and thais 💗 I am a filipino.
Congratulations on 100,000 subscribers
As an Indonesian, we share the same traits with our filipinos neighbour. Particularly regarding the "punctuality" issue (an Indonesian friend says "i'm otw" when you call him/her to an appointment, it is very likely that he/she is still in the bed). And about being nosey, i think it is a common trait in South East Asia. In Singapore they call this trait as being "kaypoh" (please correct me if i'm wrong), and in Indonesia they call it as being "kepo".
Interesting similarities
Loved it!
Canada has 10 provinces china has 23 provinces and where I live philiphines has 81 provinces and 7101 islands I'm from bulacan

In my experience, Balut is supposed to be a drinking food. Like, when you drink beer. I've never seen it being eaten so casually like an everyday snack. tbh the Philippines has SO many delicious street food that isn't a delicacy. I was hoping that those would jhave been highlighted as well instead of just balut XD
WAIT... I DIDN’T KNOW MOST OF THR WORLD USED KNIVES AND FORKS...I ALWAYS THOUGHT WHY RESTAURANT GAVE ME ONLY A FORK AND KNIFE... I WOULD ALWAYS MAKE MY PARENT ASK THE EAITER FOR A SPOON... ps. I’m Filipino
Ako rin hahaha :)
Ako rin hahaha sanay na kasi ako ehh
Jochelle Golez Actually when you are served with beef steak or big chunks of pork, you don't slice them with spoon. You use knife to do that. That's the proper way than struggling with meat.
silent watcher I am so very sorry for not being proper and ignorant I’m just use to spoons and forks instead of a knife I’m very use to spoons and forks as I said earlier.
Thank you, love Anonymous Replier
im kinda used to spoon,fork,knife plus the spork the mixed one
INTERESTING & FUN, I ENJOYED THAT, THANK YOU FOR SHARING, THUMBS UP, MORE VLOGS PLS DUDE
1.balut is so good
2.some people obseeds of it
3.were lazy as lazy
4.we use only spoon and fork
5.we are friendly
6.and no bad guys in filipino
Ashley kate there are bad guys in philippines alot of killing and things
6 is dripping with sarcasm😂
Ashley kate
As far as I know, the Philippines is suffering from lots of druggies and poverty.
6. Ey, not true.
friendly? is not a excuse it's called manners some are overly nosey in a weird way, one guy working in a store said I see u walk with your girlfriend ...do u have sex lot with her ? she's pretty ( mid 40s guy ) ...one guy said I see u with lot girls ur a good player man I like u.:) ( a cop) and those girls were my friends and none of his business to assume things , one guy asked me if I use condom with girlfriend (stranger againnn) haha these are first time meeting conversations may I ask to locals where I stayed in a silent area in safe davao
balut is pronounced as Balot
WERDER BREMEN FAN ß balot when selling it but the right pronounciation is balut actually
Del Lunzaga
Even in households I only hear it pronounced balot, in my region, at least. Saying balut will attract weird gazes.
We pronounce it with "u" not "o"
Auoric Thièlle i said the "right pronounciation" :)
No
nosy pinoys😁😁 we call them here "uzi" as in uzisero at uzisera
But they are sometimes better than cctv
No we dont idk we dont call them that
Lil uzi?
@@alfonsodayno4504 Old filipinos do.

I LOVE ALL your travel videos! I've never met a Filipino person I didn't love. Wonderful people! Delicious food! It's so interesting to learn about different cultures.
so your videos are turning into short movies directed by you and featuring locals as actors, awesome
AWHH on behalf of the Phils, thank you so much for this video!😁 This was so true, every second of it! Mahal ka rin namin!
Sidenote: it's funny how their infectious culture spreads to us Chinese and Korean people living here HAHA. We're also on Filipino time now!
Thank you Drew. Love from the Philippines💓

A precise observation on the Filipino culture. Good Job!
Filipino time:: When the event was scheduled start at 8:am
...but usually start at 9am ....

Stand name: Jollibee
Stand Master: Kuya red shirt
Is this a JoJo Reference?!
Stand Ability: Chicken joy splash
#3 is something I despise. It's lateness. When I plan things and I specify the time, I might be inconsistent. Sometimes I might be there ahead of time, while at other times, I might end up late because of an indirect reason.
love this video.. and the uploader.. God bless
2:27 I love the man with the bag 😂
he's Bakla haha
Love from Indonesiaa❤

My friends and I were supposed to have an hang-out because it was summer time...the day after they asked me why i didnt come...i always say i was sick(out of laziness)
So true... particularly filipino time and friendliest people. Thanks for loving our country! 💖💖💖
I'm Happy to know people from around the world actually like the Phililines!!😄😄
I like when toilet paper changed into a bucket of water with tabo.
I love it when you love our country 😊
-A Filipino subscriber
Love this dude.

Fq you you fake news spreader
Nas Daily? Or taking inspiration from Nas? Anws... Great video! The quality was great and thank you for visiting the Philippines :D
Spot on
There are so many good food in the philippines, i don't understand why they always push the exotic ones like balut, dinuguan, isaw and also jollibee to the foreigners. Not all filipinos can eat balut, dinuguan and isaw while jollibee is just a normal fastfood chain. Not all can speak fluent in english but majority can speak and understand english. Not all filipinos are open, friendly or sociable. Yes we do have friends and we treat them like a family, but some still prefers privacy and space specially those living in the city. We use not ony water, but we used soap when cleaning our butts.
So on point. And I use wet wipes, lots of it if outside or when water is non-existent. Toilet papers are only for wiping the wet butts after cleaning with water.
Reactions.
When you said eating red hotdog with spaghetti. : WHOT i thought that was Normal!?
Water instead of toilet Paper: Uhm. ISNT That Normalllll??
Balut: i like Balut! Not really Naman...
Social media: Di Ko Gusto Ang selfie That Much... But I like Games
Filipino Time: Lmao. True xD
Spoon and Fork: what?!?!?! I thought That Spoon And Forks Were Normal!
nosy: I'm one of them xd
Please NO Hate!
Just Subscribed
I live in japan and meet a lot of filipinos here. I like them. Also good that most of them seem to have a glass half full mentality. Also cool how you guys fluidly switch between English and Tagalog.
I hope you won't get scammed by some thieves there 😢
@@srlmelon7922 you are have dumb?
so what is your intention? to ashame Philippines? THIEVES is everywhere around the world, so you should careful too from where are you right now.
R.I.P knife
1 nothing = 1 knife saved
Filipino here :p
2:00 I don't know that as Filipino I use Fork and Spoon when I was a kid I tell why they used bread knife spoon like bread knife to cut the food even Nutella on bread what they used that to desert
Thank u for saying dis about the Philippines!;)
We don't replace toilet paper with a bucket of water. We use both
1:10 kala ko si omar maute HAHAHA
I love your videos 😃
I just saw the buildings of azure near am Bicutan at parañaque. I live near there
Isn't me or Indonesian culuture and Filipino culture almost the same?
Or *"Filipindo"* culture?? 😂
@田中八村Raven social media and filipino time is same in Indonesia, the nosy is almost same but it dont work for foreigner since we aren't fluent in english.
@I'm Ck Who's Joe that's kinda true..
Spaniards forbid Filipinos from using a knife because they knew we're good with knives as weapons.
That's why it's not common for Filipinos to have knives as utensils.
Ah salamat ate
naaaaah, that's just manufactured story during the seventies that through repetition the generation now believes. Why would they use knives as a weapon when everyone have bolos slung on their waists.
that is Bull Shit. How many Bull shit Trivia do Filipinos have. They should really write a book about the 100 Bull shit Filipino bar girls tell foreigners about Filipino Culture. Not Personal! Its just sad how Filipinos have so many Bull Shit Trivia! But Thank You... I will put that on a list of Mythology.
tuks kano And how Moronic is that story! So many Bar Girls tell that to white men who they hope will lift them from poverty.
@@eduardochavacano Look to whom you're replying to.moron! You can't even get that straight.
THE SPOON FORK GOT ME~ THATS SO TRUE! LOL. I CANT XD
Yeah it's pretty normal for us here in the Philippines, I didn't even know it's weird in other countries😓
1:14 Soda in a bag
Edit: The filipino time is true😂
philippines also use knife to cut dude
Try going to Guimaras island. Should have been May as its their Manggahan Festival (Mango Festival)
I use spoon and fork in formal occasions…I use spoon when I’m eating something that is wet and has soup but I commonly eat with hand…I’m partly Chinese so I eat with chopsticks a couple times a week because of my mom😂
In philippine, you eat balut
In soviet russia, balut eats you
Edit: Im a filipino :)
Just dont interact a Filipino when hes playing ml in rank

Gracias amigo for a really nice perspective. Mabuhay ka po! God bless and adios. 🙏🙏
wow they mention my place batangas thanks bro drew.. amazing
In my personal experience, I ask too many questions with a foreign guest especially if that person is an American to train my English speaking skills. To be fluent.
Most thing match with India
and a lot of thing match with thailand haha
No one cares?

Aww,Thanks!
So proud 😍😘😘😘
Really close to indonesia
filipino ancestors came from indonesia.
Yeah, in our history class, we filipinos were founded by Malaysians and Indonesians
It's like, Malaysian + Indonesians = Filipinos
It would've been a bit better if they (the Filipinos in the video) spoke in TagLish and you just put subtitles 'cause it sounds sOo scripted and cringey.
Balut is actually Introduced by the Chinese in the municipality of Taguig which is in Pateros including of National Capital Region ( NCR ) or very much known as Metro Manila.
nice observation dude. your absolutely right.. thats really our traits as a filipinoes ... t.y for loving our country🇵🇭💖🇵🇭
