I live in Canada and I have worked as a chef for decades. I have been the head chef and usually hire all my own kitchen staff. Of all the different nationalities Filipino people are the nicest in the whole world. They like to have fun, they work hard and I never had a problem with any of them and I was a tough boss. Filipino people are family orientated and they have the nicest smiles.
This country is becoming very popular. It’s so chaotic and difficult to get around but everyone loves it because of the people. I love the way they laugh. They put me in a good mood always.
I am from Pakistan Married with a phillipina. I worked in Saudi Arabia with phillipinos and I visited Philippines too.i have many phillipino friends. My experience is very good about phillipino. They are friendly loving peoples and good heart about Islam and Pakistan. Love you from Pakistan
even when they don't chat with you, more often it's just coz they're shy. even if english is challenging and you'll hear them say "nosebleed" (kind of illustrating how difficult it is for them) a good number would still smile and chat
Alex...you really know how to approach people and put them at ease.I always enjoy seeing you interact with locals.I'm glad your channel is growing.Congratulations!🇨🇦
Alex you're the real deal and so are the Cebuano's that you speak to. I live here too and have the same interactions with the beautiful, friendly people of Cebu. Keep up the good work it's great to see you back home bro !
Yes, as long as you show your big smile and approach them with respect there's no problem interacting with you. Even when someone doesn't put a friendly face we give directions when someone asks for it.
Of all your content I like the street interviews the most. Your sense of humor comes through and your friendly demeanor puts people at ease. I can't believe the haters insinuating these are scripted encounters. WTF you haters.... Palm is one happy girl too, she's brimming with positivity.
@@Livingabroadalex nah bro, you should gatekeep this man... more men are going to start travelling to phiilipines and its not going to be special anymore... just like thailand, they have higher standars in thailand now
Generally, Filipinos or "Pinoys" are easy-to-get-along-with folks. Simple in life, happy always mood, always put a smile on their faces.. we don't want dull moments, too so we do ways to keep us happy even in the simplest but meaningful ways. 👍
I heard ausies are friendly too... I have met an Aussie in Singapore... He was the only one whom I instantly chat with... He was walking around saying hi to everyone in the park... Other nationalities did not respond.. I, a cebuana, responded to him.. and we chatted that instant for about 3 mins..
It’s ridiculous that some people would think that the random street interviews you have conducted are scripted. I always enjoyed your channel from the start because of its authenticity.
If they think you're interview is scripted so we are best actor and good in memorization ahahah.... :) Keep it up and thank you for appreciating our country
i love your content bro. the random interviews are very cool. keep up the good work! i love the people there. cant wait to touch down there early january
I can't believe there are still some people who doubt the authenticity of Filipinos being friendly, warm and welcoming towars foreigners. They should come and see for themselves then
Locals in the Philippines are more open to interacting with foreigners, because it is not often that they get to do it. Yes, Filipinos are very warm and welcoming people by nature. It is in our culture to be friendly to others. Btw, you are a great ambassador for foreigners. 🥰👍👍👍
I always enjoy your blog dude especially when you interact with the locals,it's eandering to watch..also I do love animals and seeing those stray dogs is just so sad..hope the owner of those poor animals realized that dogs has got feelings too...I admire your desire to help those helpless four-legged friend. .Watching from New Zealand. .
City people mostly are busy people but if you go in provinces places in the Philippines you can literally talk to local anyone the whole day like you've been friends since very young.
They are friendly. If you meet someone you know on the streets, he will ask you where you going to, or where you have been. So if you are missing the next day, you could readily located.
Great interview Alex Filipinos are some of the most friendliest people ever those 2 ladies were very happy LOL. My hometown Edmonton Oilers got Eliminated at home Alex it hurts too much to see them go out like that The Canadian NHL teams pursuit of the Stanley cup continues on I feel worn out from watching sports Alex I hope someday a Canadian NHL team can bring the Stanley cup back home. Take care Alex 👍👍🆒🆒😎😎
They sure are friendly. I know when I was younger I was a leafs fan naturally but over the years I got tired of the disappointment. Hopefully soon we bring it back home
One dude there said he wants to be a tambay, tambay is the local translation of stand by or on stand by. So if one says tambay or on stand by, it means someone just bumming around, doing nothing, just chilling, no work, no worries or anything, so that's what the other dude is saying. Obviously he's joking unless he means it. hehe..
It’s obvious mostly foreigners get the friendly treatment. Former pinoys or locals do not get such treatment and get no extra attention. They are seen as “one of us.” In reality, it’s a good thing to get no extra attention. Blending in and acting local is the best way to not get scammed or rob.
Great video! You’ve come a long way! Your online personality has blossomed. You are more yourself. Absolutely Filipinos are the most friendly anywhere. I just walk down the street and make friends or get a date. American skeptics who have never been there don’t believe. Can you do a video how you started your channel and the equipment you use? Keep up the great work! Very entertaining
@@Livingabroadalex You as an individual in a Colorism based society of the Philippines can do that but in reality you need to have people from different so called Races or even Nationalities do the same thing that you've done to see what the Truth Really is closer to. This is likely a Joke, Might as well be Scripted.
@@Livingabroadalex EXACTLY! And I'm not talking about your cherry picking people and making a video what you want it to appear like in the editing room! I'm talking about the REALITY! The one that platforms like U tube NEVER wants, "The Whole TRUTH", Colorism, Racism, and Discrimination is Ma$$ive in the Philippines 🇵🇭 you can't sell that! Do it as a Live Stream, seek the whole Truth! Not that which is for Views! And don't come at me as though you know more because I've Got way more years of experience in the 🇵🇭 and on this Earth! Videos like yours and of many other content creators are the Problem, Not the Solution!
love it! keep this "filipino friendliness challenge" up missed watching interactive vlogs (random chats & interviews) we can learn new things & even updates from random strangers, actually practice a "safe space" act, though and most of all, respect each one's opinion
My both parents are Filipino ,But I have Spanish decent from my grand grand mother from my mother ,I'm living here with my family ever since I was born, Filipinos are friendly ,nice and cheerful .But one thing that I really hate about Filipino is the habit of gossiping others life 😢,But all in Filipinos are the very warm and loving people in the world.So proud of being one of them
Have you ever been to Nepal? I have been to the Philippines several times and I agree they are the most friendly people in the world. I have a lot of people say Nepali people are the same.
Filipinos in my opinion are the most friendly people in the world. Approch them with respect as they will try to help you as far as they can. I'm a Filipino from Las Vegas, USA
I may be Both german and filipino at heart but men I wish could go there to the phillipines to my family etc... Especially since I have been only 2 times there with the last time being almost 10 years ago when i was 8
The Filipinos are not friendly at all. They do not like tambays and outsiders. They do not like utang as well. You are Filipino, so you ought to have known.
Of course they are friendly, you are a foreigner. The PI, Thailand, you approach as a question, they are friendly. Now Thais don't wave, I wave to people when going to my farm and they just stare, here if they know you they wave lol
Great video alex! i love how you interact with people and maintain your respect. new subscriber here! (also at 8:38 "tambay means like a person who willingly chooses to be inactive from school or work. and just loafing around the block. a bystander for example) anyways, keep up the great work!
Saw videos talking about being lonely & no friends/friendless this video might help them consider visiting the Philippines & experience a very friendly & social environment & somehow adopt some of the positive traits.
Tambay is a person who just stay on the street and does nothing, like a bystander, you will be surprised that in the Philippines theres too many tambay and yet they can still survive 😁 nice vlog
I wonder if u would get the same reaction without a camera in your hand? Filipinos are usually attracted to cameras. Maybe experiment part 2 with hidden camera??
Hey Alex. I've watched a bunch of channels and it always seems like everyone one is really friendly. My only question is is that because they see the camera?
Filipinos are freindly in general but it is very obvious to foreigners, why? It is because of the bisita culture of them. Try to search it what it is and you will amazed. 😄
'Tambay' comes from the English words 'stand by' which in the Filipino context means to hang around doing nothing, to laze about, to lounge around. The kid who said he wants to be a tambay or a lazy bum was, of course, kidding. :)
I live in Canada and I have worked as a chef for decades. I have been the head chef and usually hire all my own kitchen staff. Of all the different nationalities Filipino people are the nicest in the whole world. They like to have fun, they work hard and I never had a problem with any of them and I was a tough boss. Filipino people are family orientated and they have the nicest smiles.
Thanks for the complement for my people, my fellow Filipinos.
This country is becoming very popular. It’s so chaotic and difficult to get around but everyone loves it because of the people. I love the way they laugh. They put me in a good mood always.
Alex the secret is, just eat rice everyday, 3times .
Haha I might try that 😅
everyone are naive aboout them they don't know the reality of their culture
what do you do for Living? waiting for Foreigners to come around and maybe they will
like me... hahaha
@@lorellifenstad7451you forgot me. try jollibee
"Tambay" means a stand by. Someone who just really does nothing but hangs around. Nice video.
Got it lol
Thank ypu. I'm happy you liked the video
Tambay means Bystander....
Slacking
Hahaa, wouldn't we all love to do that
Standby 60s
Stambay 70s
Tambay 80s
Filipinos are friendly because we are taught that way. " kapwa ko mahal ko" from California,USA
I am from Pakistan Married with a phillipina. I worked in Saudi Arabia with phillipinos and I visited Philippines too.i have many phillipino friends. My experience is very good about phillipino. They are friendly loving peoples and good heart about Islam and Pakistan. Love you from Pakistan
Cebu city people are super friendly. That was my experience quite a long time ago. I studied there in the summer of 2008.
You gotta come back!!
Thanks for loving Philippines and the Filipino people,watching from Dubai UAE
Thank you for watching and commenting. 😊
even when they don't chat with you, more often it's just coz they're shy. even if english is challenging and you'll hear them say "nosebleed" (kind of illustrating how difficult it is for them) a good number would still smile and chat
you certainly get higher views and more subscribers when you are vlogging about philippines and the filipinos.. Philippines is the vlogging haven..
Yes bur I got high views in India and in Malaysia and Vietnam was starting to get high

Sounds fun!
@@Livingabroadalex Only cool people can chill in that heat.

You can’t have more friendly than Filipinos that’s for sure.
Agreed
They r really friendly especially if u speak Tagalog to them, they will b so happy & appreciate u trying to speak their language
I have to learn. That'll be the next video 😁
@@Livingabroadalex its easy but needs practice
Even if u mix english & tagalog u would b stared at & they might b surprised
I'll have to try
@@Livingabroadalex u can do it
Nice! Thank you alex for our exposure on your chanel ❤

Tambay means idle or bystander. Actually it is derived from the English word standby.
Oh haha 😄
I've lived in Philippines for a little under a year. I've been many places, but the Phils. is other worldly how friendly people are.
I have been to Philippines 2 times and people there are always friendly .thanks for sharing your experiences there

Very friendly, love them.
Filipinos really very friendly so one thing you do is you need to do a first move because mostly of us are a shy type 😮😮😮
Great interview Alex. One suggestion would be to try not to swear around Filipino’s, I don’t think it’s culturally appropriate. 😅
Haha thanks for the suggestion
True. They’ll be silent / smile out of respect but they’ll gauge you fir that. They won’t distance or run away but cross mark.
Totally agree. I'm a Filipina and responding with a curse word is not appropriate for us
Yeah your heart is in the right place but no swearing 😅
I really like your channel Alex,.more power!
Thank you so much Hernan! Glad you enjoyed the video 😊
Haha Tambay, I wanna be Tambay too😅😂
Awesome video man!

Tambay ( idle)
Oh haha 😅
Alex, you’re cool AF. I like your videos.
This is Bruno.

Greetings from Washington, DC (USA).
Thanks Bruno!! Welcome to the channel 🍻🥳
Even if you not doing an experiment, filipino in blood is a friendly human
Hi Alex, i would not recommend approaching stray dogs, they could be riddled with fleas or worse, have rabies ( which can be deadly )
Yes it's true. Filipino friendliness is on a whole different level. Cursing isn't so popular though, in my experience. :)
You're right. I've been trying my best to reduce that 🤭
@@Livingabroadalex Sorry man, no offense intended. Liked the video and totally agree with your conclusions :)
@Chris Goes West nin taken 😊 you're right. It's not appropriate and I'll be mindful 🤝
about TAMBAY - that guy is goofing you around hehe, TAMBAY means "a guy who don't have a job" it came from the word STAND BY
Ask students, employees, parents or anybody bout Philippines or world issues they want to improve, addressed or just talk about!
I may be Both german and filipino at heart but men I wish could go there to the phillipines to my family etc... Especially since I have been only 2 times there with the last time being almost 10 years ago when i was 8

Alex, you have the best videos... doing street interviews is your forte.
Thank you sir!! I appreciate the positive feedback 🍻
I love Philippines and Filipinas I'm from Bangladesh! 😍
I saw a dirty street which is neglected by the government.
I am in Thailand for a month now and I'm already missing my place, Cebu, and the food. 😭😭
nice to see you back in my beloved country
Happy to be back 😊
NOT EVERYONE. Please don't expect everyone in the PH is friendly. Don't get scammed by friendliness. Most of us are friendly , yes, but not all, okay?
The Filipinos are not friendly at all. They do not like tambays and outsiders. They do not like utang as well.
You are Filipino, so you ought to have known.
"Tambay" or "Istambay" = i think comes from "stand by". (i.e. people on stand-by or doing nothing) :)
Love this video. Thanks for sharing

Saw videos talking about being lonely & no friends/friendless
this video might help them consider visiting the Philippines & experience a very friendly & social environment & somehow adopt some of the positive traits.
Yes absolutely. Realistically I could have asked to hang out with at least of of the people I interacted with. Very friendly people here
Wow....Ilove Philippen...Watching from Thailand...
They are friendly and jolly
Definitely
daaammn.. bro got rizzz.. giving ig out instead of asking for it.

Hey Alex. I've watched a bunch of channels and it always seems like everyone one is really friendly. My only question is is that because they see the camera?
Not at all. Although it helps break the ice at times
I'm often out there without Mt camera
