Why I Root for the Philippines 🇵🇭

- Why do I root for the Philippines? Is it fate? Destiny? Just sharing some personal stories & events that have impacted my life over the years... and lead me to becoming a top fan 🤘 of the 🇵🇭
I'm Filipino-Chinese, although the Philippines isn't the best country there is, I'm still proud to be born and raised here. I might have plans to go to the west for opportunities, but I will always go back here and help even small communities just to give back and bring my gratitude to the country.
Woohoo 🇵🇭 pride! Yup, this country is amazing and you should be very proud. It's only a matter of time before more and more people recognize how amazing this place really is. I'm also very grateful to be here and we're very much looking forward to growing this vlog so we can contribute much more to the communities here. Cheers! 🍻
It’s not the beautiful beaches nor the scenery but the Filipinos who make this country great and amazing. And people like you who appreciate the Filipino culture will always find support and love from Filipinos. How i wish i could meet you personally in the future to thank you for embracing the Filipino culture and for loving our country the Philippines!
Absolutely! All those other things are nice bonuses but at the end of the day, it's really the people that make this place so special I really appreciate the kind words and support po. More Power to you and all the best! 😊
@@BGCDreams You are totally correct, foreign visitors and tourists are visiting the Philippines for the beauty of nature, in all parts of the 7 thousand Islands in the Philippines, the friendliness and hospitality of the Filipinos are only added bonuses to that, foreigners, especially from the West & Europe because they are adventurous people who love discovering new places, culture, food, etc., etc., etc. let's be truthful to ourselves that they are coming to find out how beautiful is the Philippines.
I'm Filipino living in the US, and I have experienced a lot of discrimination here as well from different people. people in the Philippines will love you as long you respect their culture. Some people are just really disrespectful its sad to hear that story that your being humiliated in your own country by a foreigner.
Sorry to hear about your negative experiences living out in the states. It can be pretty rough out there and it always saddens me when I hear about Americans mistreating OFWs and other people who aren't from there 😫Many Americans seem to expect VIP treatment when they're visiting other countries but don't offer hospitality to others who are visiting 🇺🇸 Sad, but all too common...
I root for PH probably more than any foreigner, I wish the country nothing but continued success, and silencing all the haters all the way to the top.
Thank you so much for bringing up the arrogance of any foreigner who visits our country. Likewise, the humility and respect of our people towards them. What you're doing as a vlogger is not easy, very heroic, considering that you already have a good life in the US. I hope that your purpose and message will resonate with our people. Wish you all the best. Thank you.
Truly support you for you kind words to this great country of great people.
Thank you, more Power to you 💪
@@bernardfelix4059 Appreciate the support! I'm just one person but I'll do what I can to shatter the existing paradigm... 💪

You deserve more subscribers. I have been watching some of your vlogs lately and I'm quite drawn to it because you're smart, kind and unassuming. I remember you said you are introvert but you really speak well. I'm sure your channel will grow sooner than later. And big thanks for appreciating the hardworking Pinoys! Really heartwarming to hear.
Appreciate the kind words & awesome support! ❤ Yes, I'm quite introverted and much prefer writing to speaking 😂 Glad you're enjoying the vlog and we'll keep doing our best to grow. There's so many hardworking Pinoys out there and they deserve so much more love & respect than what they're getting. All the best!
Jay, you are providing positive education and influence to the minds of people for a better change and put respect the center of our lives. Kindness always makes the difference in the way we live and treat people regardless of our differences and nationalities. Instead of focusing in our differences why not focus more on the positive side of every person and build a better relationship with people. I noticed that when people behaved the way they behave its manifesting not only their inferiority and insecurities in life but also the pureness of their ignorance. I ready do appreciate your platform by educating the world about the real meaning of what humanity and humility as a basic principles that makes the world a better place. We are blessed and thankful to have parents that made us who we are now. You spread the goodness of your heart that can change one person at a time and hopefully the world. You are making an impact in the minds and heart of people and by spreading goodwill to mankind. Keep it up and thank you for speaking the truth that matters.
Very well said and I really appreciate your comment Jacky! 👍 It motivates me to keep going and to do whatever I can to change some of these pre-existing stereotypes and paradigms. I would like to use this platform for good so we just gotta keep going and growing More Power to you and all the best! 💪
@@BGCDreams Positivity, advocacy, and empowerment as the core of your platform would invite a different level of audience. This is what we need today! You are doing it well and I thank you for speaking up for people who can't speak up for themselves.
@@jackyshultz995 "Positivity, advocacy, and empowerment as the core of your platform" love it! Will save this and reference it regularly as a reminder 🤩
Thank you for the inspiration! We'll keep vlogging especially b/c we want to give a voice to those who might not have one, otherwise. Cheers! 🤗
@@BGCDreams Thank you Jay, I am learning from you and you are such an inspiration especially to young people who are seeking a positive direction in life. More power to you.
@@jackyshultz995 More power to you po! Let's keep pushing forward and making progress 💪
Thank you for talking and bringing up this difficult and sensitive topic. I really feel bad sometimes when I do hear these things that you talked about; the abuse of Filipino’s hospitality and kindness by foreigners. It is very prevalent especially among those older foreigners. The level of disrespect is quite disheartening.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting kaibigan! Yes, it's very frustrating to see and experience on a regular basis. I guess you could say I was pretty shocked and surprised to see how prevalent it is here in 🇵🇭 It's almost like, "dude, why are you acting like this? You're not even from this country..." Filipinos are not only being disrespected abroad in places like 🇺🇸 but also in their own backyard. That's unacceptable...
Hats off to this guy. Well raised by his mother. Making the world so positive with his perspective.
Appreciate the kind words, that means a lot to me! 🙌 I was blessed with an amazing mom so I'll just keep doing whatever I can to make her proud. Cheers!
Hi new subscriber here, TY for loving the Philippines, welcome to the Philippines and enjoy the hospitality of the Filipinos, we respect all visitors all over the world, regardless of race, religion, color, nationalities, or culture, you will really enjoy your stay in the Philippines because there's a saying "It's more fun in the Philippines" Enjoy the beauty of the beaches & nature in other parts of the Philippine Islands. Stay cool & safe GOD Bless!
Thanks so much for subscribing po! It's definitely more fun out here in the Philippines God bless and stay safe! ❤
It only shows how well our parents raised us..ALWAYS reminding us to BE KIND and HUMBLE, to know when to really fight back and when to just turn the other cheek.
It's not flashy but being kind and humble is the way to go 👍
I will give you my perspective as a Filipino. Someone throwing a hissy fit or tantrum just because they feel like being a trip is not a big deal to me. Words and actions do not hurt but just do not put me in a position to defend myself so i can justify inserting a knife and installing a faucet on the side of that someones abdomen. Heed my words… this is filipino mentality. Thanks for sharing and more success for your vlogs!
Thanks for the support!
You have a pure heart. I'm glad I found your channel. ❤️🇵🇭
Wow, that's so kind of you to say sir, it's much appreciated! 😊 All the best to you and more Power! 💪💪💪💪
It takes one to appreciate one...in this increasingly materialistic world , hope the filipino core values of family , empathy and resiliency will still be upheld by the new generation..
I hope so too po! There's so much beauty in the Filipino core values centered around those things you mentioned - family, empathy, resiliency
As a Pinoy, it really infuriates me that foreigners living in the Philippines have the audacity to criticize our country and look down on our people. There are some foreign vloggers here based in dumaguete and Angeles who are mostly middle aged western men. Reading the comments sections would usually make me really mad as these foreigners makes very degrading and demeaning remarks against Filipino people.
True! And they complain they cant afford upscale neighbourhood in the Philippines😂😂 they whine about the bad service and lack of convenience but they chose the rural part of the country. Dont tell me its not the same as being in the south of the US! Lmao!
@@seandaman6509 True! They would hook up with Pinays from the far-flung provinces and assume that all of the Philippines are like what they experienced living in those miserable places. What triggers me sometimes is they would compare how things are better in their respective countries and speak negatively of the Philippines. You would wonder then what the h3ll they are doing here. It does not make sense for someone to travel thousands of miles, lives in another country, and whine about how it is different from what they are used to, back in their own country.
All you need to tell these whiners is to go back to where they came from; but then again they would not because they will have to haul their old miserable saggy asses to work just to keep themselves above water. Just tell them that and that should shut them up! 😂
I hear you and it's so frustrating to see 😫 The reality is many foreigners expect Filipinos to cater to them while they're in the 🇵🇭 and they don't ever seem to realize that they're not in their own country anymore 🥴 It's really the foreigner's job to adapt to their new surroundings... and sadly many don't usually seem to want to. Filipinos deserve much better!
@@seandaman6509 Sounds like classic foreigner behavior to me... 😅🙈
You are a good storyteller,thank you for spreading positivity about the Philippines through your videos. Wishing you & Jenny all the best
I enjoyed your heart warming story. You can make change one step at a time. Positive culture is so important. You are fortunate to have a great upbringing. There is a spectrum that some people don't see in all cultures. As a teacher, I taught in all demographics in many districts... just like there are struggling schools and community, there are various environmental issues. Families work hard and sometimes the child becomes latchkey and join the wrong group of people... always keep the positive and try your best... step by step.
Japan say Ikigai... have a purpose on life ...
Aloha to you kind sir! Thanks for the motivation and reminder. I will save this saying "Ikigai" and try to remember that each day.
Jay thank you for loving the Filipinos and the Philippines ❤️🇵🇭
Always! It's so easy to do 🥰
You are doing pretty well & your vlewers will grow for sure.So glad to hear your stories & experiences
being around Filipinos coming from US.Actually,you look more like Filipino-Chinese & people would
probably expect you to talk Tagalog with out knowing who you are.My niece's husband is pure Chinese,
but he grew up in the Philippines & there are so many like him just in our province alone.Good luck!
Thanks so much! Yeah, I'm hearing a lot from people that I look Chinoy and can kinda blend in easily here 😊 Well, since we're heading out to Binondo this weekend for CNY, I guess I'll see for myself the world out there. All the best po and more Power to you! ❤
sadly foreinors in philippines act entitledaeven mistreat the people aand labelthem and prmote their sick views socially , thank afor sharing we neeed more of` you
Yeah, it's very disheartening and sad to see. We'll do our best to promote an alternative view that steers away from all that. Thanks for the comment!
Mabuhay ka! Some weeks ago i found ur vlogs and ur story. U really deserve accolades. I referred shared u to my aquaintances and friends, classmates. I had also a vietnamese classmate in the 70's who is a doctor in usa now. We call him Willy Le.
Mabuhay din sayo! Maraming salamat po for all your support 🥰 Appreciate you sharing our vlog and we'll do our best to keep growing 💪 Shout out to sir Willy Le 👋
Thanks for the great story telling how your life growing up with filipino friends in states that brought about how you treat other people, no matter what color, race or creed. Yes, our culture taught us to be humble and forgiving through thick and thin, and still being respectful toward others. Thank you for speaking out about how bad foreigners do shameful deeds when they come to the Philippines. God bless
Yup, Pinoys are super humble and respectful! I really appreciate that about the culture here and that's why I feel like if I use my own experiences to try and promote change, then I'm happy to do so
After I watched some of your videos all i can say is “YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL HEART” 🙌🏽
Your stories are captivating and touch the soul. You're a very unique vlogger with a very different platform. More power to you, brother!!! 👍 🇰🇬 🇵🇭 🇺🇸
Thanks so much! Your kind words are most humbling and I much appreciate it 🥰 More Power good sir, and let's keep pushing forward! 💪
What is that flag? Americ pH n?
@Anton Slavik It's the flag of Vietnam. His roots are Vietnamese.

Thank you for your support po! More Power to you and God bless! 🙏❤
🔥🔥🔥One incident I had here in the US when I was eating my lunch using a spoon & fork. My coworker was hysterical laughing and stated it was her first time to see someone eating his meal with a spoon. She proceeded to educate me to a US table culture of just eating with a fork. She ask me why I'm using a spoon. I just told her - "because we are rich in the Philippines and we can afford a spoon & fork. Please excuse my noble table manners."
I don't think she understood what "noble table manner" is.
That's a great response and story sir! 😂😊 Thanks for sharing! haha and yes I've learned to eat with both spoon & fork. Pinoy style!
You have this compass inside you that points to kindness
That's very kind of you to say! 🥰
You are a good storyteller,thank you for spreading positivity about the Philippines in your vlogs. Wishing you & Jenny all the best
Appreciate the kind words! 🥰 I have a lot to improve on and will try to get better over time 💪 All the best from Jenny and myself!

I Root for the phillipines coz I love💙the phillipines it’s the friendliest country in the world and the most Beautiful country in the world not to mention the most Beautiful women in the Universe 💙💙💙🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🏆🏆🏆🍻🍻🍻
Syempre naman! Go Frankie GOOOOOO!!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thank you for sharing Amazing stories and powerful reflection. You mentioned Mountain View. I’m from the South Bay too. Thinking of moving there for investment and part-time retirement. BGC looks beautiful and I hear there are more developments coming. I feel Philippines is on the verge of a booming economy. Plus the islands are some of the most beautiful in the world and the people are so happy, despite financial disparities. Mabuhay!
Shout out to you in the South Bay! Hope you're doing well and staying safe out there 😊 Yup, BGC is very developed now and even so, there's still new projects rising and even more coming down the pike. We're super excited to showcase those projects and others from the nearby NCR area and beyond. Definitely, the most beautiful beaches in the world are found right here in 🇵🇭 Lots of good reasons to visit, vacation, even retire out here, so just let us know if you ever need anything. We're more than happy to help, especially if it's real estate related, haha 😉 Cheers kaibigan and all the best to you out there in Cali!
@@BGCDreams Thanks! South Bay is still the same old. Many tech workers work remote so less traffic on the roads. Castro Street MV is still popping. Housing market is steady but kinda hoping it goes up and interest rates go down, so I can sell and make the move.
Your vids as well as many other expats are helping me keep my dreams alive. Cali is a great place to live while young and to build wealth but Philippines is the perfect getaway from that grind.
Will reach out when I’m ready to make the next leap for sure. Cheers kaibigan! 🇵🇭 🇺🇸
Yuor awesome! Not boring man! Congrats 👏
Hey, that means a lot! Thanks so much
Thanks Jay, Filipinos will love you.
I love the Philippines and Filipinos. More Power and thank you! ❤❤❤❤
Glad, you are all back to GBC safely.
Yes po, it was a wonderful trip 🥰 Back safe in BGC now Warm regards to you and your family out in the states
i feel you brother...long live
Cheers my brother! Laban lang sa buhay 💪💪💪💪
Thank you for this video.
My pleasure! 🤗
Love ur stories... keep telling them.. stay humble as you are! I just subscribed..TC.
Thanks so much for your support and for subscribing to the vlog!
Thanks a lot for loving the Philippines. You are a good person and I am sure, your mom as well. She did a good job raising you and your kuya.
Some foreigners are rude to other Filipinos, they should think they are in the Philippines, they think, they are smarter than most Filipinos. Less than 1 % of Foreigner tourists are rude, bad and look down on Filipinos, they should know, that Asians are very successful in the US, most graduated in Colleges, Universities. Living in nice houses, living in nice neighborhoods.
Yes, Jay, we all work hard, that's why we pushed our children to be successful. My husband and I are lucky, our children are all Professionals now, have good jobs and home owners.
We are so blessed.
God bless you Jay. More power to you as well. Ingat kayo ni Jenny. God bless.
Thanks for embracing our Filipino culture and respecting the Filipinos.
I'm very grateful for the opportunity, just being allowed to enter the wonderful country of 🇵🇭 so it's really the least I could do.
@@BGCDreams respect is the most important thing you can do to anyone else around the world. Respect begets respect so you deserve the respect and love of the Filipinos. Always be grounded no matter how successful you are in life because we're all human being equal in the eyes of God so hope all people treated one another with respect especially those who are privileged in life not underestimating someone.
little kuya, you have such a good heart, your witnessings through your vlogs will hopefully highlight the other and true side of Pinoys being warm and friendly and help catapult it as a tourist destination, too...God bless, and miss your partner/gf ;)
Thanks for the support po!
Very nice and good testament of your life . . Cannot stand on it but to subscribe your vlog .
Wow, thanks so much! 🥰
Another beautiful story Jay. Hope this channel grows even more. Wishing you the best man. =)
Thanks so much sir Frederick for the continued awesome support! One day at a time, let's keep going! 💪 Cheers and all the best to you! 🍻
Maraming salamat. It is refreshing to watch a foreign vlogger talking about these issues in an honest and respectful manner. God bless you more. Safety, joy, good health. 😊
Maraming salamat po! Yes, these issues are tough but real and worth talking about. Glad you enjoyed the content. God bless and more Power to you ❤💪
Thanks for rooting for us, we are rooting for your success and happiness too.. We can share positivity to the world together.
Hey, thank you so much kind sir! I'm rooting for you too! Cheers to more success & happiness. More Power to you! 💪💪💪💪
Thank you for loving and believing in the Filipino people ..
Maraming salamat po to you and this great country for believing in me. Let's go 🇵🇭 ❤❤❤
Hello how are you? New sub here. I am a proud Fil-Am, retired and just returned from the Philippines after 4 mos. Can’t wait to go back. I cried when I watched this video. I greatly appreciate all your love for Pinoys. We invested in the Philippines early on and we are now enjoying our retirement going back and forth to the Philippines. We would love to meet you next time when we go home again. We are trying to be senior vloggers. We lived in the US for 43 years now. We love both the US and the Philippines.❤ More power to you and God Bless you!
Whoahhh very cool, you were just here 🤩 We really hope you enjoyed your stay here and thank you so much for your kind words & support ❤ Yes for sure, we would love to meet you the next time your out here. Also, it's never too late to start vlogging so we'll definitely be following along on your journey. All the best to you guys and more Power! 💪💪💪💪 Ingat po kayo and God bless 🙏
@@BGCDreams Thank you! Enjoy Philippines!❤️
Thank you for living and believing in the Filipino people ..
Maraming salamat po to you and this great country for believing in me. Let's go 🇵🇭 ❤❤❤
New subscribers here from korea 🇰🇷 Philippines 🇰🇷 🇵🇭 💖 thanks for loving and appreciation of Philippines people we always love and warm welcoming foreigners in our country eventhough sometimes they are not nice but still greatful we have them in our country thnk you.
Good day to you out in Korea 🇰🇷 Thanks so much po for subscribing and we hope you're enjoying the content here. I'm so humbled to be in 🇵🇭 and really appreciate all the love and support I'm getting from Filipinos all over the globe. Cheers!
Thank you so much bro…. God bless you
Always welcome bro! 🤗 God bless you po!
Another link I guess is when lots of Vietnamese fled after the U.S. left, most stop over in the Philippines
Yeah, that's an interesting nugget as well... My own uncle almost jumped off a boat and into the Philippines. His world would have ended up very different... Cheers!
Thank you for sharing your not-so-happy experiences. At the end of the day or end of our lives, we are all equal. Whether you’re the Queen or the Beggar, we are all in oneness with God. We all have the power within us. You just have to wake up first to realise that. Sooner rather than later. Blessings to you all. I am strong!
Cheers po and God bless!
Thank you so much!
🤗
thank you...
Thank you!
You are most welcome!🥰
what vlogs should be 👍☺️ keep it coming brother
You da man, man! Thanks my bro 💪💪😊
dont worry GOD knows and he will do the rest to those who dont do good to others.. GOD BLESS U!
God bless po 🙏
Good post, Jay. Unfortunately these things are still happening despite globalization, but hopefully less and less by acknowledging and condemning these abuses, as you do. Congrats on more than doubling your subs in just a matter of two weeks. I hope the trend will continue. You are learning the Pilipino language, that’s a positive step.
Yeah, it's a shame to see that it's still so prevalent, despite globalization. I guess it's just a reminder that we still have a long ways to go. Thanks for the support and it's a really awesome & humbling feeling to see the sub count grow. Will just motivate Jenny and myself to keep working hard. Mahirap ang Pilipino language pero I'll keep trying
Jay, you are on the right track. I have been following your vlog since I found your channel couple of months ago. So happy your channel continues to grow.
I am a Filipino living in the states for over 39 yrs now. My wife & I have two kids and they are both successful professionals in the States. We are currently vacationing in the Philippines and will be here ‘til mid march. We hope to meet with you and share some ideas and probably collaborate. We arrived mid Jan and have been vlogging around the makati area. We are so happy to be here and enjoying our stay. You are absolutely correct. Filipinos are generally very heartwarming
@@Goalfy Thanks so much for the comment sir! We would be happy to meet up and discuss more ideas with you. We're just in BGC so if you want to meet here or in Makati, we're totally game 😊 If you want to reach out, you can email us at bgcdreams @ gmail
Cheers!
new subscriber here... you deserved more subscribers! May GOD Bless you always.
Appreciate the support and thank you for subscribing. God bless po
nice content...
Thank you! ❤
Thank you ❤️
Walang anuman. Salmat din po
Thank you.
Walang anuman. Salmat din po
I enjoy watching your vlogs especially when it's story telling time. Your family went through a difficult time during those times, especially when you arrived in the US. you need to adapt/adjust to new surroundings and culture. and yes I agree with a comment I read that your parents raised you well. To those who can watch your humble beginnings, learn from the experience you went through, and make it a strength instead of a weakness. Keep it up and I hope your Channel will grow.👍👍
Thanks so much, I really appreciate your support! ❤ Sometimes I do worry that the storytelling is too disjointed and all over the place 😅 Nevertheless, I'm so glad you're enjoying this type of content. We'll keep our best to keep growing the channel and to promote positivity here in the Philz. All the best and take good care! 🤗
@@BGCDreams for me in my own opinion its an eye opener that it really happens in real life,not a fiction but base on real story and experience. The story telling part is the part where you introduced your self/origin and experiences that your family experienced, as a foreign national in other country and to better understand( your viewers) why a chinese family arrived in the US as an immigrant, then Vietnam then to the PH. I do hope that your Channel will grow just make a meaningful and interesting content/s, and Im sure you will make it.👍👍
@@markymartin6037 Thanks so much! Your kind words & comments really help so much and keep us motivated to keep going 💪💪💪💪 All the best to you and your fam! ❤❤❤❤
@@BGCDreams noted on this.. likewise all the best also to you/partner and to your kuya..👍👍
"greatness" does not measure with material wealth, how you treat other people regardless of creed, skin color amd race, that is what matter most, being selfless and considerate always to the plight of other people.
Well said, love it! ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for loving .
You are most welcome Elsa! 🥰
Godbless BGC dreamers🙏😇🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 from Mindanao
God bless po. Cheers to you out in Mindanao and more Power! 💪💪💪💪
I agree with you. Thanks for doing the vlog. Hopefully some grumpy and entitled foreigners will watch this. Some foreigners really make us look bad. I love my awawa ko and the Philippine people.
Thanks so much for the support! Yeah, I definitely hope more foreigners can acknowledge that there's a problem here and can shift their mentality of being more grateful as opposed to feeling entitled when out here in the Philippines. It's such a lovely place filled with so many lovely people All the best to you! 🍻
Nice to know you're from the Bay Area.
Cheers! 🍻
Good day bgc dreams. I totally agree with your sentiment. I am currently living in California but will be returning soon to retire in the Philippines 🇵🇭. There is no place like home 🏡. I was just wondering if you can make a budget video living in Bgc 😀 . We are just waiting for the turnover of our unit at the season residences on 8/24 🤞🏼. I liked your subic video I used to work there. A lot has changed. More power to your channel, hope it attracts more like minded followers.👏👏👏👏
Hey to you in Cali! I hope you're staying warm & safe po! Really great to hear you have plans on coming back to retire in the good ol' Philippines 🤗 For sure, we're more than happy to make many more videos going over the cost of living and budget living in the BGC. We'll try to get back to that type of content sooner rather than later. All the best and more Power to you! 💪💪💪💪❤❤❤❤
Greetings.
Edit: you have lots of stories and life experiences, you remind me of my Grandfather.
Good day sir! I hope the vlogs bring positive vibes for you
nice story
Salamat po!
I'm a Filipino-Chinese, my mom is a Filipina and my Father is a Chinese born in HK. My family moved to the US when I was 7 years old, but when I got the to the Highschool my mom suggested to my Dad to move our family to Philippines (first time for my Dad and my sister). My Dad agreed with it, he can't stand some Asian hate there especially after what happened to me in School, I got physically beaten 3 times by some random guys just because of my eyes, I was emotionally harrased couple of times as well, My sister experienced some of it too. Im a silent type of guys, 5'4 height with a very Asian or Chinese looking eyes so literally I'm always at the lime light for some Asian haters or bullies.
I got some very close friends there, not all people in America are racist but in terms of numbers and level of Asian hate compared to other countries I think it's kinda "Concerning Issue".
The first time I arrived here in the Philippines I wasn't so happy because I'm thinking of "another country, another big adjustments, another black sheet of papers with zero friends. But that just all took a week, then I realized that this place, Philippines is a country where I really belong. I'm not good in Tagalog, I just know some few basic words. Majority of the people here are very kind and even in school I didn't experience those school nightmares I had in US.. My classmates know that I'm a Chinoy but still are so friendly to me and I kinda feel special sometimes, they said that being a Chinese here in the Philippines is not a negative issue rather a positive one---because many Chinese here are well respected businessme and kind people as well.
For me Philippines is my home country now. I like the US too, I got some good memories there as well, it's just that the Philippines is the place where my heart belongs. And my sister is the same with me😅😅😅
God bless.
Wow, you have an amazing story! Thanks so much for sharing and I'm sorry about your past 😫 but so glad to hear that you're doing better now and found happiness here in the Philippines ❤ This is just a great reminder of why people should be more tolerant & understanding, b/c we never truly know what someone has experienced and gone through in their life. Keep going strong po and more Power to you 💪💪💪💪
Yo Bro, Thank you for sharing this vlogg, we just don't stoop to the foreigners level, we're well aware with the rudiness of some caucasian race. Majority of them are starting to conform... More power to your vlogg
Thank you sir and I appreciate how so many Filipinos see the injustice and don't stoop to that level as well... It's certainly noticed by me and that's one reason why I root so hard for Filipinos to succeed. All the best to you and more Power! 💪💪💪💪
omg! did that coin incident happen in parksuites? the staff here are so nice & courteous at all times, from the doorman to housekeeping. bad karma goes to that rude foreigner, the rotten apple in the bunch.
Yes, unfortunately it did 😫 You're right, the staff are so friendly and sweet.... and they get a lot of flak from people (I'm guessing the Airbnb short-term visitors).... We even heard them being bashed in the elevator by foreigners 😭
Yes we Filipinos are hard working people and we dont complain. I worked in Germany til last year. I never complained how they treated me during work period, and its too much already for me so i decided to resign and thank God im back home. Home sweet home my country the Philippines. Keep safe here and God bless
Yayy, congrats on making it back home! 🥰 Yeah, too much stress isn't worth it and sometimes you just gotta say "enough is enough". Happy you're back home and hope you're enjoying your time here again. Cheers and God bless!
@@BGCDreams yes im enjoying my life everyday.
slowly,slowly your channel up,👆
One day at at time! 💪
Idol ingat lagi sa every vlog mo Jan sa BGC
Salamat idol! Ikaw din 😊
nice video
🥰
Thank you. If people would just be kinder and positive and more importantly understanding. Our resilience is all encompassing. Typhoons, natural disasters , poverty etc. We wholeheartedly welcome foreigners but unfortunately there will always be unkind ones and arrogant.
Oh totally! The resiliency of the Philippines and its people is off the charts... There's so many natural disasters that afflict people here and most find a way to carry on with a smile on their face. It's so humbling & inspiring to see ❤
❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊
it is sad that someone not even in his own country would treat people badly. I just hope that trait doesnt stick to the new generation resulting to the downgrade of filipino values. Because seeing it online is one thing and witnessing it (to happening) in person is just another level.
Come and visit davao city philippines!
We would love to someday! ❤🤩
I'm Filipino, born in Quezon City and emigrated to the U.S. with my family when I was a year old. I'm 55 now, and although there are a lot of good, welcoming people here in the States, unfortunately there are also a lot of racists here too. Our parents raised us to be respectful towards others, to not complain, to not make waves - but only to a certain point, and I've seen this in other Filipinos out here too - push us too far at your own peril. I'm too old now to take the same crap I took as a younger person without saying anything back. I suppose those warm, kind, and respectful Filipinos back in the homeland just haven't been pushed far enough, but I suspect you don't want to find out where that red line is if you're an entitled jerk pushing people around in a country that's not your own. I plan on visiting the Philippines soon, first time back in 54 years. I hope to eventually move back and experience all the goodness you've been showcasing on your channel. Keep up the great work, and thank you for showing your love to our people and homeland (I think it's safe to say that you're one of us now, lol).
Thank you sir for following along and for sharing your background 😊 I hope you get a chance to visit 🇵🇭 in the very near future since I'm sure you'll be amazed and impressed by all the progress the country has made over the years. Appreciate your kind words and support and we'll do our best to keep showcasing all the awesome things going on here.
I assume the Commissary you're referring to is at Moffett Field? I play golf there quite a bit. What a small world.
Yup, that's the place! Whoahhh, very small world indeed 😱 I haven't stepped foot inside the complex in like 20+ years now 😆 How's the golf out there? All the best!
