I am truly impressed by the thought and passion that you put into this video. It is easy to make "pretty vlogs" about relationships and scams and "province girls". But to sit down and speak honestly about cultural, educational and political issues is admirable. From now on, I will look at your videos in a different light, Thank you for this.
You truly are an asset to your country. Voices like yours are the beginning of change. I've yet to visit the Philippines but already I understand the inherent wealth in the resources and culture of the Philippines. So many of the issues surrounding the unequal distribution of the economic resources seem to have simple solutions but, just like social and economic issues everywhere, including here in the US, there are so many self-interested parties maintaining the status quo and blocking the instruments of change. Education is the beginning and, along with a stable standard of living, that is to say not great wealth but a standard that simply alleviates constant struggle, will always lead to positive change for the many. You are the kind of person whom I could talk with for hours on end about change and about justice. I'll be content to listen. In the meantime, it's good to know there are thoughtful people everywhere, especially as so many of my fellow Americans have abandoned reason in favor of fear based idolatry. Most of us here take so much for granted. Anyhow, there is so much to say but this is your channel and I just wanted to chime in. Thank you for being an instrument of change. I look forward to traveling to the Philippines and enjoying the greatest of your resources, the people and the land.
Prepare to get laughed at talking that social justice trash, be wise there, stay out of people's business, all that double talk only flys in U.S and Europe, where you live off things that were earned for you. Fair warning, trying to help . It's not a talk show
I need to commend you here as it is very rare for a Flipino in TH-cam land to speak so openly and honestly, and from the heart about their country. I even had the challenge a rich Filipino once that was trying to convince me that there is no poverty in your country. I could go in deep with what you have said here, but you were excellent and covered all of the points succinctly and clearly. You do have my sincere respect. Kind regards
Miss Rubeauti I can feel your pain. I spent a lot of time in the Philippines and I saw first hand the corruption from the local barrio leaders all the way up. But now I am starting to see this in my country. I actually believe my country is more corrupt now than the Philippines and because of that I see bad times coming. Stay strong and stand up for what is right. You have a platform now to maybe do some good. God bless people like you.
@longbeach225 the same all over. We have the same in Scotland with greed being made out to be inflation. With the added bonus of having little to no say in what happens in our country because of the desperation of England to keep us "leeches" as a part of the union
That was a very difficult video for you to make Ruby, I'm sure. Putting the truth out there for everyone to hear. I know you love your country and I know you made this video because of your love for the people of the Philippines. To bring about change, you, the people, must continually keep these truths in the forefront of everyone's mind. I agree with you, the leaders in the government must be the ones to bring about these changes. I respect you and your vision for the Philippines. Keep using your position to get people to consider what life could be like. Salamat Ruby for taking that leap for everyone to hear. Be Happy Be Safe.
my company has a footprint in Manila and I hear from our head office in france that its HARD to deal with the government and they are actually thinking about pulling out and locating it to Vietnam
@@dave-d-grunt Vietnam is a communist dictature with not a lot of freedom. But Vietnamieses people (like phillipine people) are great. I don't judge other countries, I'm french, and our president is very corrupted, and every day more and more people think about kick his ass, and already a brave citizen has slapped him in the street. But this is only a beginning. the people everywhere must regain power and fire corrupt politicians.
thanks for the real story about your country now I understand what is going on . Getting your message out will help other filipinos to better themselves
Good video Te My wife is Filipino from Bataan. I’m trying to get all the kids in the family from her siblings into tech. High ceiling in terms on economic growth. Our child is still young. Plus we working on 2nd.
Hola pretty girl. This was by far my favorite video that you posted. In my opinion, it was provocative and gives people a reason to pause and think, not only about the Phils, but about the world we live in and its people. Cheers!
@@Rubeauti this is why the present political situation around Russia/Ukraine isn’t that easy and straightforward as portrayed by mainstream media. Ukraine virtually became a colony of the United States, while Russia at one point said “enough is enough”, and this is how controversial dictator Putin keeps collecting landslides all the time, no matter how the West is fretted by this fact. Look: Ukraine under Western protectorate has outdated public transportation with ancient metro cars and bumpy roads (documented, one can watch many TH-cam videos) whereas Moscow, in my opinion, became one of the most beautiful cities in the world …
this is your best V-log so far. I agree with just about everything you say but because I'm a foreigner I don't want to speak loud about it because it can bring me into trouble. Speaking up your mind like you do in the video can be dangerous for you too as I know it can put labels on you, but it shows that you are intelligent and that you actually care about your people (not like the you know who) I'll be there in Philippines on Sunday
@@Rubeauti I am also a viewer that became scared for you, seeing you starting to make political videos. I would actually recommend *against* making such videos, since I think you will anyway be very disappointed by how little good they do. It is *very* difficult to get people to elect good leaders in any country. Honest political candidates are always at a great disadvantage, since they cannot promise as much as the ones who lie (except in some cases, where they are honest but foolish, and think they can fix things easily, believing various mistaken things about how e.g. economics works). It's also true that many who enter politics with good intentions become corrupt once they get good opportunities for it. The alternative to becoming a friend to the other politicians who are already corrupt, is usually just to lose the next election and lose all power. I think the sad truth is, that one should not become very interested in politics, before one is so rich that there is not much danger in taking up such a dangerous and very difficult fight. To everyone who wants to help others, I would recommend to first focus on making money, and help other people with the money. (And then maybe get active in politics if one gets rich enough.)
Some people here do not want to hear of the actual level of corruption or living under the threat of experienced assassins... To tell others that the markethere's that the Marcos regime were not murderers and only if you did bad things ...that is a very overly simplified point of view that does not want to think of anything dangerous. A number of years ago when I was the last bixbut when I was less experienced I in fact was this fact was threatened with murder and extorted for cash ,from a notorious person whom used to be associated with Marcos. I know and witnessed this to be true.. And the murders continued after Marcos .. There are still a number of people that you don't want to mess with . I don't live in fear however this vlog is very sensitive so you might, consider deleting this... I will not tell you oh you're so beautiful...But your vocabulary is very impressive thank you Dia 🙏🙏
@@Rubeauti they will attack you. Probably not physically, but they will try to slander you, character assassination, call you a w...e etc. It's an Asian thing, not only Philippines. It's what happens when you heavily criticize your own nation. I know, I lived in several Asian countries for many years. I ve seen all that sort of BS before. Excellent video btw. Just be cautious and take care.
Rubeauti, I wish more if my country men would also value truth and honesty like you've displayed here. Seeking truth and solutions doesn't mean you don't love your country. Actually it's the opposite. I hope your country can find solutions to create a thriving healthy economy. Your beautiful country and people deserve better.
Well said! I'm impressed with your penetrating analysis of the socioeconomic disparities between not only the third world and developed countries but also between the people in the Philippines. The history of the world and probably the future as well is, as you noted of your countrymen and women, "the poor getting poorer and the rich getting richer". It breaks my heart to see families struggling to take care of their children, and especially single mothers working themselves into sickness to feed their children and provide decent medical care and education. I'm helping my Fiancee with her 6 children and her sister's 3 children and do not regret a penny of it. The karma is only good. You are an extremely intelligent young lady, and will be, I think, a part of the solution to the problems of your country. God bless you! 🙏
In the Philippines the poor get poorer because of their choices. Your fiancee with her 6 children made some poor choices unless she is a widow. The Philippines actually has no barriers to the poor to become wealthy. If one chooses to learn, work and refrain from sex until marriage, God will bless them. If they choose to learn free market ideas, they can become quite wealthy. There are so many opportunities in the Philippines to make wealth, it is only the leftist gov that destroys opportunities. It does so often. Price controls on rice is one glaring example. The Filipino gov would rather pay an American rice farmer millions of dollars than to allow a Filipino rice farmer make a decent profit. It is hard to compete when the gov stifles your business. Yet, there are many business opportunities for the wise Filipino.
@@puppyupper4565 She was nearly beaten to death by her husband after she stopped him from choking her baby and had to leave the country as an Overseas Foreign Worker to support her entire family. Sorry if she doesn't measure up to whatever standards of morality you have.
Rubeauti, the USA is feeling the same problems. We have cities where we are spending $24k per high school student pe year and 90% are not reaching basic reading/ math goals. People are just not afraid of starving or freezing in winter- they may not be wealthy but they are made complacent by the wealth.
$24k per MONTH...I doubt that very much, and the 90% is way off as well. However hard you try, you can't compare the US to the Philippines in any which way. In the US you can make something of yourself simply by getting your butt out of bed in the am and go find a good job; not so in the Philippines, it doesn't exist. Try to be smart or refrain from commenting; just because you can, doesn't mean you should, and YOU shouldn't.
From what i have seen in the philipinnes beeing only a 3 times visitor, is the lack of efficiency and will to shorten processes. This is usually interpreted as talking on a high horse, but let me please share my thoughts. 1.) When i watched construction workers, they didnt even put the cement out of the bags, they used the bags itself to build a wall, or any kind of structure, not knowing that the dust untouched by water in the bag wont give any stability 2.) When i watched grocery store workers, waiting for my turn in the cashier line, it took us 40 minutes to finally leave the store, while having only 10 people before us. In germany it takes 5 minutes Behind the meat tables, their were 5 people working, in germany 1-2 workers does the same. This gives me a feeling that the philippinnes maybe dont want to work efficiently. This system gives everyone a job with very low salary instead of letting 60% of the population beeing unemployed, which would result in an disaster. First step for the philippinnes to grow as a nation is nationwide teachings and training about how to use and buy condomns and pills, making it mandatory to teach sexual education, which would result in less kids beeing born. Second step would be devolping an retirment pay system, where filipinos are forced to pay 20% of their income as tax for their retirement ages, which would result it not making kids only to be taken care of when ur old yourself. Third step is banning all Jeepneys, or any other relatable small vehicle transport systems, and switch them into busses. Also train stations for bigger islands. Which would result in less traffic jams, people actually beeing able to commute in shorter time, making it easier for people to work from further away. Those are simple steps to actually help an enviroment to grow, but its hard to actually change yourself, that why people vote bad people all over again. Everyone wants change, but dont want to change themselves.
Yes good observations, it looks like the lack of efficiency is to provide work for labor. The locals just need to be exposed to examples and possibilities like Aldi then they might wake up to efficiency.
In America, we don't have a "Dept of Gratitude". As adults and as children, we are free to pursue our own dreams. What we give back to our families and to our community is a gift of our own choosing and not one of obligation.
Well said. I’m proud of you for standing up for your fellow Filipinos. It’s very complicated and will take years to fix. This has gone on for too long. The one thing I’ve noticed since I moved here, most Filipinos have the attitude of “why bother, it’s always been this way, it won’t do any good to complain”. This is so wrong. Be educated, stand up for what is right, make change happen. A missionary gave a US high school exam to 20 Philippine college graduates, they all failed. Education is the key to start. So much more needs addressed but you are on the right track. Good bless you and good luck.
Very well thought out VLOG. Especially like how you point out the politicians who are in it for personal gain, and are able to articulate the importance of society for the greater good. Nice work Rubeauti.
I can feel the warmth, passion and love for your country in your mannerism and expressions. Don't give up hope. Its people like you that will make the change happen.
9:30 You are so right. Children do not owe their parents anything. It was not the children's choice to come into this world. My parents gave me everything they could (education, civilized living conditions). I give my daughters the best education I can afford and I will expect nothing in return from them but respect. In my country Romania, parents do not want to be an anchor hanging around the children's neck. Parents are proud if their children reach higher in the social hierarchy than their parents were. Parents help their children financially (if they can) even when the children have a salary or are married (if the parents are downsizing the apartment). But I see that in the Philippines parents are a burden to their children like some leeches. That mentality must be changed and then parents will no longer pump up the number of children when they realize that they as parents must help their children and not the other way around
Very courageous of you to speak out openly about the challenges your country faces. Your discussion is not hateful towards your country, it is open and honest and thoughtful. The Philippines has so much potential…….potential that is untapped at the moment. It has beautiful and friendly people, magnificent scenery and just so much potential for growth economically. I have been amazed at the development and progress of Vietnam over the course of the last couple decades and I would like to see the same for your country. I admire the Filipino people, they have endured so much in their history and I see so many happy faces in all the videos I see, despite the hardships. You have a great spirit and love for your country. Your critique of it is not out of malice, but seems to be born out of the frustration of knowing and believing what it could be. Keep fighting the good fight and stay safe. We love you from 🇺🇸❤️
We share your pain here in the U.S . This new Administration we have is so corrupt. Someday the people will run the Government again, not the other way around. Wishful thinking I know.
Corruption is in every Country some more then others but what it all boils down to is power and greed. They make reasons up to make it harder for people to live just so they can make more money . The harder they make live for the people the more money they will make and the more power they will have over you .
I am glad to finally hear a Filipino like yourself finally speak out publicly about the mass government corruption in Philippines. Everything that Jose Rizal fought against is still there in the form of modern Filipino politicians. When will the people rise up again? Regarding education: I have never seen a nation that allows kids to quit going to school in the third grade before. I was shocked and deeply saddened to witness this in the Philippines. Education of every Filipino is one of the keys to resolving poverty in your nation.
In 2009 I was in Cebu for the first time. I saw all these kids selling magazines to drivers waiting at red lights. My local friends explained me that these are not street kids, but their parents are unemployed. So I asked, if the parents are unemployed, why don't they sell magazines themselves so that the kids can go to school? No answer.
Rubeauti, thank you for talking about this subject in the PI! This is a tough subject to talk about because many thing (changes) would have to take in order for change to take place in the PI. There is so much corruption starting from the top political figure down to the small town local government officials.
wow... is all I can say. I have watched and listened to other Filipino/Filipina Vloggers... and this has been the most powerful one I have heard to date. No B.S keep up the great work. I am a fan and hooked.
You have presented some I opening comments about Philippines society, economics and government . Not at all superficial remarks, as so many Vloggers tend to be on this topic. Well thought out and presented. Kudos.
I would say the issue is to stop looking to the government for help. People need to become more entrepreneurial and business minded and find their own way.
It seems that same stuff with leaders is also here in the USA. Love your outlook and your advice with love and admiration!! Love you with everything in me!!
Admire your courage and I can see the love for you country in your concern . You help me understand the Filipino and how intillegent they are . Also the tremendous ability and Intelligence the filipinos have my respect to the filipinos.with love.
I have very close ties with the Philippines my whole adult life, spanning more than 42 years since Year 1980. A big problem with the Philippines is its population. With over 115 million there is not enough jobs or resources for its people. Overall I am very impressed with your video
The USA has 330 million. Population has nothing to do with wealth. It is about economic policies. They are leftists in the Philippines which destroys wealth. They vote for leftists which no nothing about economics and do stupid things like price controls on rice.
@@puppyupper4565, the 330 million population is spreaded out over 50 states in the USA. The Philippines total land mass is the same size as the State of Arizona, which is approx 1/37 the size of the USA. In the Philippines the total population is about 1/3 the population of the United States. Available resources and available jobs plays a very important role.
@@kenrice The Philippines has more resources than most countries on earth. Its problem is that they vote for leftists that destroy wealth. Here is one example, there are thousands. The Filipino gov puts prices controls on rice below the world wide market price of rice. This means the Filipino farmer can not invest in new equipment or more land. This has led to huge shortages of rice in a country that should be able to easily feed itself. The leftist solution to this shortage. The gov buys rice from Thailand, Vietnam and the USA for more than it allows the Filipino rice farmer to charge. The leftists would rather pay an American rice farmer millions of dollars to invest in new equipment to grow rice and pay the transport fees to bring that rice thousands of miles across the ocean than to allow a Filipino to make a decent profit. That's absurd. Once that money leaves the Philippines it benefits the people of Thailand, Vietnam and the USA. If the gov let the Filipino charge a fair price, the money would stay in the Philippines where it would add to the economy creating jobs. Leftists destroy everything they touch eventually. The Philippines has great wealth but after Marcos, the leftists have squandered it and lied about Marcos. He brought wealth to the Philippines, he did not take any.
@@kenrice Also population density of the Philippines if 358 people per square kilometer. Hong Kong is 6300 and Singapore is 8300. Neither of those has near the natural resources of the Philippines. If they embraced the free market they could be wealthy.
Rebeauti. I applaud you for saying the tough but true things you have brought to attention I so hope others will take to heart and change the things you brought in this video 📹 😊
@@Rubeauti well it takes much courage for you to bring yo light the important things you needed to say ..I truly believe you have what it takes to handle any type of backlash that you may receive..but I believe you knew in your heart it needed to be said..I sure hope that the ones that needed to hear what you said will honestly listen.and change ..will come ..maybe slowly but things will change. I really wish for the best..not only for you..but for all Filipina people 😕
Have sporadically watching your vlogs. I know that I have missed out. Today's vlog really stands out. You have more brains & common sense that 95% of the leaders I have met here. You are a super educated person. This makes you even more beautiful.
I think you're right about everything that she said. In the US they're beginning to teach kids to memorize memorize instead of thinking things through. I wish someone would go into A single barangay And start there and educate everybody in that 1 Area and then expand out and and as that 1 area gets college degrees have them responsible for teaching their area coming up coming up again plus all the other areas areas that need the education and I know education is severely needed in the Philippines
Very impressive video Rubeauti, be of good cheer however, the Philippines is an emerging economy the GDP of the Philippines continues to increase yearly and people are becoming wealthier particularly with the use of the Internet, as the mindset and the habits of the Filipino people change so will the people that govern them. A good practice is to compare the Philippines with where it was 10 years ago and not the other countries.
It’s a very good video and you made a lot of good points. I think one of the biggest problem Philippine face is lot of very young people have baby when they are very young, in this case they do not have opportunity to complete their education and they do not have enough economic support to arise their children, therefore they do not have chance to improve their economic status. In order for the country to improve economic, most of the family need to do better at the same time.
Great job Rubeauti! Many other vloggers seem hesitant to speak on politics, but you just grabbed the bull by the horns, while remaining respectful at the same time. Much respect to you for that. 🇵🇭Rubeauti for President!🇵🇭
Well said. I have been to the Philippines twice and I agree with what you are communicating. I am a retiring math teacher who is coming to the Philippines soon... I love the Philippine people and I love you.
Beautiful Rubi, Another great video. Besides your physical beauty, you are intelligent and very well spoken. We viewers can feel your genuine frustration that's born from your empathy and care for your people and country. I don't want to comment on the politics too much, I am not Philippino, it is not my place. In this video you focus on the broader issues and that is very important but many of these issue you may not be able to affect, by yourself, in the position that you are in at this time (who knows about your future) but what I would encourage you to do is to look at one, two or three Philippinos who are somehow in your life, friends, family, people standing right next to you now, in your space, and use your intelligence to educate them and encourage them to make a few better decisions in their lives, even if it's just very small things and when you meet friends of similar intelligence as you, encourage them to do the same. Just some advise and coaching for one fellow Philippino who has the awesome fortune to personally know you. Good luck, your heart is in the right place and we all look forward to a next video of yours.
@@Rubeauti On a personal level, it is hard to unsee the problems once you have spotted them, and it is really frustrating when others refuse to see it for themselves even when pointed out to them.
Really good analytics! I traveled a lot through East-Asian countries and it was hard to understand that a country like Philippines, who had very good opportunities would be overtaken by so many other countries with worser starting conditions. But I guess you took the point.
Because other countries want investment from foreign capital. The Philippines thinks capitalism is evil because it creates well paid free thinking peasant classes that quickly dominate the govt with logical, intelligent laws. Can't have that. To hard to control. Better if they keep believing that free stuff is better. Socialism not capitalism.
The Philippines based on my knowledge was one of the most wealthy countries in Asia not to far in the past. The next problem there is brought on by the top 3% who keep the rest down. The next problem is the constant inbreeding within the nation. Then there is the macho problem where men seem to be able to do as they wish to women and seem to get away with it. If the Philippines would have remained a territory of the USA the corruption would have been reduced big time and lives would be better. I still love the nation and its people
I’m glad that you spoke on these issues. Not many Filipino channels want to talk about politics, and expat channels won’t talk about it much because they worry about getting put on a government black list.
Kumusta Rubeautie. I agree with what you say. I am an American who grew up in the space age and cold war. The Philippines 🇵🇭 needs to find local problems which need to be resolved and develop the solutions through education. The race to the moon focused the USA. Solving poverty to the benefit of Filipino families could be the focal point the Philippines needs. I fully agree the solution begins with goal driven education. My prayers are with the Filipino people. Thank you for your vlogs.
So true, look at Singapore, they realized their asset is their people. They stamped out everyday corruption and made there schools some of the best in the world.
Wow, you hit every point spot on. This vlog was well organized. I fully understand your views. It is the same here in the US. You are a strong and bold young womanm Many blessings for you and the Philippines. 🙏🙏🙏
Education is the key to growth. The ability to think critically and challenge the status quo only happens with a well educated populace. Unfortunately, there are growing pains in change but unless people are willing to suffer through changes there will be little to no growth. I actually thought that with the downfall of Marcos and the new government under Aquino that the Philippines would have come a lot farther than it has to date. Most governments of third world /developing countries would prefer their general population to remain uneducated and no birth control whatsoever. This vlog is one of the most sincere and honest vlogs I have seen in a very long time. I hope you are not putting yourself in a dangerous position politically, socially and physically. Take care.
WOW! THIS IS REALLY DEEP! I HAD NO IDEA HOW BLIND I WAS IN REGARDS TO THE CURRENT STATE OF THE PHILIPPINES. I WAS TOO FOCUSED ON THE BEAUTY OF THE PEOPLE AND TRYING TO TRACE MY FAMILY LINEAGE. THANK YOU, RUBEAUTI. (FOR EXPLAINING CERTAIN SUBJECTS TO ME IN A WAY THAT I CAN UNDERSTAND). ❤️❤️❤️
You got a lot of respect from me and others watching this video. Others describe you using long messages. But I just want to sum up with a few words/phrases: you are intelligent, smart, courageous, skillful. Thank you for making valuable videos. Take care.
Very well said, my thoughts exactly. I am from the US and I know some Filipinos. I heard a while ago the Philippines received a few billion dollars and all I hear is that Manilla is thinking of making a train system, but I feel it would be better spent on opening business buildings to employ more people.
Great video! Very important and necessary topics. Finally someone like you is talking about them. The most important ones in my opinion as well. I hope this inspires others Filipinos to ask the same questions. The Philippines has so much potential. You are correct, it's time to break the cycle and break from the mistakes and habits of the past. Time to stop accepting things as they are, just because it has always been that way. That's what you do when you love your country.
Hello Rubeauti , So nice to see you its been a while I still don't think I am getting your Video I have to search for them. Well very interesting video I feel for the people , they need people like you to speak up and try to make the changes it will never happen over night . You Country is such a wonderful place I would love to see the changes made . Take care always .
I think YOU are the leader your country needs………intelligent, understand politics, well-spoken, attractive, passionate, charismatic……all the important qualities!
I'm an Economist. You are spot on as I see it. Of course, to be fair, I've never set foot in the country. However, I probably now never will. Please don't get me wrong, I am not entitled - its not my country so my opinion means nothing. But, Development Economics is my area of concentration. I fell in love with the people and culture from what I have seen online, and I was doing substantial research. I wanted to come to the Philippines and start firms that paid a bit above average and were substantially employee-vested, with a primary goal to create jobs and spending which started to create the growth Filipinos deserve. But, sadly, first I see a rising anti-foreigner sentiment (which, given how a lot of Sexpats have acted, and given the ridiculously high unemployment/underemployment situation this isn't surprising, just sad) -- I wouldn't even be able to hire outsiders for certain positions if I had the need. Second, let's be honest, it becomes cost prohibitive -- the amount of bribing I would have to do in order to enter any substantive industry and scale is exorbitant. That even assumes the bribes are honored, I have no recourse if they are not. And last, is a simple legal bias. Even if I were to hypothetically marry a local and become a full citizen -- courts just don't rule in foreign favor. Which means, its really easy to make someone jealous or mad (after all, business IS about competition and winning and losing). All that person has to do, for example, is cry rape against me. Then, even if I'm innocent and can prove it, I end up locked up in a horrid prison for years awaiting trial, and most likely end up dying of disease before release. So, nobody outside with actual altruistic motives can truly help, and we end up shifting focus elsewhere.
hi, rubeauti i was actually looking for a video like this. i had 2 uncles in the phillipines and they both have passed away now. i was in manila when i was 9 years old and the year was about 1978. i didn't quite understand what poverty was but, was amazed at how many poor people i saw in the country. i could not understand why so, many poor people could not get out of the situation that they are in. its like the poor always seem to stay poor there and yes the country is like a baby making factory. both my uncles were businessmen and could make a decent living. i still remember seeing a mother with her baby leaned up against our car with a baby in here arms begging for money. was shocked to see this because this sort of thing did not happen in my country.
Great video lots of thought and research Im sure was done to present the facts you have disclosed your a very smart lady and as always your looking very beautiful. Thanks I always enjoy your videos.
Thank you for sharing! The circle of poverty in family or even country can't be stopped without ceasless effort. I believe you need a strong leader, but if you don't have them, you need to make them. I was raised in S.Korea in 1970-1990s. We were poor like anybody else. We were taught that if we want to be rich, we should throw away old paradigm, which is naive and complacent one. We had a strong leader, President Jung-Hee Park. He was a hero for our country. His decision to revive the dying economy was accurate and sincere. People admired him and followed his leadership. I think you need a great leader who can design the plan and execute the plan with the people of the nation.
My Dear, it is obvious that you got a good education. Very good description of the problems that the people face. I would hope that expats who have a little extra could help some of the locals.
My first visit was 1990. At that time Harrison Plaza was the no 1 mall in Manila. A lot of progress since then. But u r right, to most people its still a struggle.
It has been over 30 years since I was in the Philippines. I visited Clark Air Force Base back then. Today I wished I had retired in the Philippines but I'm to old and have many health problems now. I feel for you and your Country. You can't change the Country but maybe you can change/fix your Province. One step at the time. Elect people who care about your country, not themself. Moving to other countries is not the answer. Take care of yourself. I wish I was 30 years younger.
Rubeauti.i know its frustrating when u see you country & people struggling..i applaude you for at least trying to inform people about it. Every piece of positive information helps to eventually create change. A large change starts with 1 thought.
I am truly impressed by the thought and passion that you put into this video. It is easy to make "pretty vlogs" about relationships and scams and "province girls". But to sit down and speak honestly about cultural, educational and political issues is admirable. From now on, I will look at your videos in a different light, Thank you for this.
Thanks! share for Rubeauti development .
You truly are an asset to your country. Voices like yours are the beginning of change. I've yet to visit the Philippines but already I understand the inherent wealth in the resources and culture of the Philippines. So many of the issues surrounding the unequal distribution of the economic resources seem to have simple solutions but, just like social and economic issues everywhere, including here in the US, there are so many self-interested parties maintaining the status quo and blocking the instruments of change.
Education is the beginning and, along with a stable standard of living, that is to say not great wealth but a standard that simply alleviates constant struggle, will always lead to positive change for the many.
You are the kind of person whom I could talk with for hours on end about change and about justice. I'll be content to listen. In the meantime, it's good to know there are thoughtful people everywhere, especially as so many of my fellow Americans have abandoned reason in favor of fear based idolatry. Most of us here take so much for granted.
Anyhow, there is so much to say but this is your channel and I just wanted to chime in.
Thank you for being an instrument of change.
I look forward to traveling to the Philippines and enjoying the greatest of your resources, the people and the land.
Prepare to get laughed at talking that social justice trash, be wise there, stay out of people's business, all that double talk only flys in U.S and Europe, where you live off things that were earned for you. Fair warning, trying to help . It's not a talk show
I need to commend you here as it is very rare for a Flipino in TH-cam land to speak so openly and honestly, and from the heart about their country. I even had the challenge a rich Filipino once that was trying to convince me that there is no poverty in your country. I could go in deep with what you have said here, but you were excellent and covered all of the points succinctly and clearly. You do have my sincere respect. Kind regards
Miss Rubeauti I can feel your pain. I spent a lot of time in the Philippines and I saw first hand the corruption from the local barrio leaders all the way up. But now I am starting to see this in my country. I actually believe my country is more corrupt now than the Philippines and because of that I see bad times coming. Stay strong and stand up for what is right. You have a platform now to maybe do some good. God bless people like you.
The oil companies in the US had record profits but blame it on inflation. So many Americans struggling even with the pay raise they gotten.
@longbeach225 the same all over. We have the same in Scotland with greed being made out to be inflation. With the added bonus of having little to no say in what happens in our country because of the desperation of England to keep us "leeches" as a part of the union
That was a very difficult video for you to make Ruby, I'm sure. Putting the truth out there for everyone to hear. I know you love your country and I know you made this video because of your love for the people of the Philippines. To bring about change, you, the people, must continually keep these truths in the forefront of everyone's mind. I agree with you, the leaders in the government must be the ones to bring about these changes. I respect you and your vision for the Philippines. Keep using your position to get people to consider what life could be like. Salamat Ruby for taking that leap for everyone to hear. Be Happy Be Safe.
my company has a footprint in Manila and I hear from our head office in france that its HARD to deal with the government and they are actually thinking about pulling out and locating it to Vietnam
Vietnam is growing into a nice country. As far as we can see.
@@Rubeauti what is money?
@@dave-d-grunt Vietnam is a communist dictature with not a lot of freedom. But Vietnamieses people (like phillipine people) are great. I don't judge other countries, I'm french, and our president is very corrupted, and every day more and more people think about kick his ass, and already a brave citizen has slapped him in the street. But this is only a beginning. the people everywhere must regain power and fire corrupt politicians.
Good & wise moves from your company. Communist Vietnam good, Philippines sucks.
In the USA I am retired. do to the rate of inflation. I am living below the poverty line I'm know I could live better in the Philippines 🇵🇭.
thanks for the real story about your country now I understand what is going on . Getting your message out will help other filipinos to better themselves
Good video Te
My wife is Filipino from Bataan. I’m trying to get all the kids in the family from her siblings into tech.
High ceiling in terms on economic growth.
Our child is still young. Plus we working on 2nd.
Hola pretty girl. This was by far my favorite video that you posted. In my opinion, it was provocative and gives people a reason to pause and think, not only about the Phils, but about the world we live in and its people. Cheers!
@@Rubeauti this is why the present political situation around Russia/Ukraine isn’t that easy and straightforward as portrayed by mainstream media. Ukraine virtually became a colony of the United States, while Russia at one point said “enough is enough”, and this is how controversial dictator Putin keeps collecting landslides all the time, no matter how the West is fretted by this fact. Look: Ukraine under Western protectorate has outdated public transportation with ancient metro cars and bumpy roads (documented, one can watch many TH-cam videos) whereas Moscow, in my opinion, became one of the most beautiful cities in the world …
Thanks R. Wishing you the best.
WOW... You Care about Your People!!! That was Courageous.... Beautifully Said...
Keep Up Your Great Work Rebeauti!!!!!
💚💙✌🧡💙✌💛❤
Best (most important) video I have ever seen about the Philippines!
Thank you. You have tackled so many socio-eco problems of Philippines in 16 mins. Good point on every point.
I respect this woman's willingness to address the most challenging issues.
this is your best V-log so far. I agree with just about everything you say but because I'm a foreigner I don't want to speak loud about it because it can bring me into trouble. Speaking up your mind like you do in the video can be dangerous for you too as I know it can put labels on you, but it shows that you are intelligent and that you actually care about your people (not like the you know who) I'll be there in Philippines on Sunday
@@Rubeauti I am also a viewer that became scared for you, seeing you starting to make political videos. I would actually recommend *against* making such videos, since I think you will anyway be very disappointed by how little good they do. It is *very* difficult to get people to elect good leaders in any country. Honest political candidates are always at a great disadvantage, since they cannot promise as much as the ones who lie (except in some cases, where they are honest but foolish, and think they can fix things easily, believing various mistaken things about how e.g. economics works). It's also true that many who enter politics with good intentions become corrupt once they get good opportunities for it. The alternative to becoming a friend to the other politicians who are already corrupt, is usually just to lose the next election and lose all power.
I think the sad truth is, that one should not become very interested in politics, before one is so rich that there is not much danger in taking up such a dangerous and very difficult fight. To everyone who wants to help others, I would recommend to first focus on making money, and help other people with the money. (And then maybe get active in politics if one gets rich enough.)
Some people here do not want to hear of the actual level of corruption or living under the threat of experienced assassins... To tell others that the markethere's that the Marcos regime were not murderers and only if you did bad things ...that is a very overly simplified point of view that does not want to think of anything dangerous.
A number of years ago when I was the last bixbut when I was less experienced I in fact was this fact was threatened with murder and extorted for cash ,from a notorious person whom used to be associated with Marcos. I know and witnessed this to be true.. And the murders continued after Marcos ..
There are still a number of people that you don't want to mess with .
I don't live in fear however this vlog is very sensitive so you might, consider deleting this...
I will not tell you oh you're so beautiful...But your vocabulary is very impressive thank you Dia
🙏🙏
@@Rubeauti they will attack you. Probably not physically, but they will try to slander you, character assassination, call you a w...e etc. It's an Asian thing, not only Philippines. It's what happens when you heavily criticize your own nation. I know, I lived in several Asian countries for many years. I ve seen all that sort of BS before. Excellent video btw. Just be cautious and take care.
Rubeauti, I wish more if my country men would also value truth and honesty like you've displayed here.
Seeking truth and solutions doesn't mean you don't love your country. Actually it's the opposite.
I hope your country can find solutions to create a thriving healthy economy.
Your beautiful country and people deserve better.
You are a very intelligent woman. I love your channel. Thank you.
I will pray for your beautiful country and it's beautiful people.
@@Rubeauti You're very welcome.
You know what you are talking about a very good speak❤️
Well said! I'm impressed with your penetrating analysis of the socioeconomic disparities between not only the third world and developed countries but also between the people in the Philippines. The history of the world and probably the future as well is, as you noted of your countrymen and women, "the poor getting poorer and the rich getting richer". It breaks my heart to see families struggling to take care of their children, and especially single mothers working themselves into sickness to feed their children and provide decent medical care and education. I'm helping my Fiancee with her 6 children and her sister's 3 children and do not regret a penny of it. The karma is only good. You are an extremely intelligent young lady, and will be, I think, a part of the solution to the problems of your country. God bless you! 🙏
If you don't have children, you won't fall deeper into poverty. But the Catholic church wants poor people too. That's why they prevent birth control.
In the Philippines the poor get poorer because of their choices. Your fiancee with her 6 children made some poor choices unless she is a widow. The Philippines actually has no barriers to the poor to become wealthy. If one chooses to learn, work and refrain from sex until marriage, God will bless them. If they choose to learn free market ideas, they can become quite wealthy. There are so many opportunities in the Philippines to make wealth, it is only the leftist gov that destroys opportunities. It does so often. Price controls on rice is one glaring example. The Filipino gov would rather pay an American rice farmer millions of dollars than to allow a Filipino rice farmer make a decent profit. It is hard to compete when the gov stifles your business. Yet, there are many business opportunities for the wise Filipino.
@@puppyupper4565 She was nearly beaten to death by her husband after she stopped him from choking her baby and had to leave the country as an Overseas Foreign Worker to support her entire family. Sorry if she doesn't measure up to whatever standards of morality you have.
@@anthonysawyer4079 Yeah, he waited until the 6th baby to show his true colors.
Rubeauti, the USA is feeling the same problems. We have cities where we are spending $24k per high school student pe year and 90% are not reaching basic reading/ math goals. People are just not afraid of starving or freezing in winter- they may not be wealthy but they are made complacent by the wealth.
Filipinos dream of having American problems.
How can you become complacent by the wealth that you do not have?
@@stevenbaer9061 because it’s collected from outsiders through taxes and used to fund institutions that serve you in name at least.
@@stevenbaer9061 WOW. You just made the case for an ownership society in which people have a chunk of the wealth and see it, feel it.
$24k per MONTH...I doubt that very much, and the 90% is way off as well. However hard you try, you can't compare the US to the Philippines in any which way. In the US you can make something of yourself simply by getting your butt out of bed in the am and go find a good job; not so in the Philippines, it doesn't exist. Try to be smart or refrain from commenting; just because you can, doesn't mean you should, and YOU shouldn't.
From what i have seen in the philipinnes beeing only a 3 times visitor, is the lack of efficiency and will to shorten processes. This is usually interpreted as talking on a high horse, but let me please share my thoughts.
1.) When i watched construction workers, they didnt even put the cement out of the bags, they used the bags itself to build a wall, or any kind of structure, not knowing that the dust untouched by water in the bag wont give any stability
2.) When i watched grocery store workers, waiting for my turn in the cashier line, it took us 40 minutes to finally leave the store, while having only 10 people before us. In germany it takes 5 minutes
Behind the meat tables, their were 5 people working, in germany 1-2 workers does the same.
This gives me a feeling that the philippinnes maybe dont want to work efficiently.
This system gives everyone a job with very low salary instead of letting 60% of the population beeing unemployed, which would result in an disaster.
First step for the philippinnes to grow as a nation is nationwide teachings and training about how to use and buy condomns and pills, making it mandatory to teach sexual education, which would result in less kids beeing born.
Second step would be devolping an retirment pay system, where filipinos are forced to pay 20% of their income as tax for their retirement ages, which would result it not making kids only to be taken care of when ur old yourself.
Third step is banning all Jeepneys, or any other relatable small vehicle transport systems, and switch them into busses. Also train stations for bigger islands. Which would result in less traffic jams, people actually beeing able to commute in shorter time, making it easier for people to work from further away.
Those are simple steps to actually help an enviroment to grow, but its hard to actually change yourself, that why people vote bad people all over again.
Everyone wants change, but dont want to change themselves.
Yes good observations, it looks like the lack of efficiency is to provide work for labor. The locals just need to be exposed to examples and possibilities like Aldi then they might wake up to efficiency.
In America, we don't have a "Dept of Gratitude". As adults and as children, we are free to pursue our own dreams. What we give back to our families and to our community is a gift of our own choosing and not one of obligation.
Well said. I’m proud of you for standing up for your fellow Filipinos. It’s very complicated and will take years to fix. This has gone on for too long. The one thing I’ve noticed since I moved here, most Filipinos have the attitude of “why bother, it’s always been this way, it won’t do any good to complain”. This is so wrong. Be educated, stand up for what is right, make change happen. A missionary gave a US high school exam to 20 Philippine college graduates, they all failed. Education is the key to start. So much more needs addressed but you are on the right track. Good bless you and good luck.
Very well thought out VLOG. Especially like how you point out the politicians who are in it for personal gain, and are able to articulate the importance of society for the greater good. Nice work Rubeauti.
I can feel the warmth, passion and love for your country in your mannerism and expressions. Don't give up hope. Its people like you that will make the change happen.
9:30 You are so right. Children do not owe their parents anything. It was not the children's choice to come into this world. My parents gave me everything they could (education, civilized living conditions). I give my daughters the best education I can afford and I will expect nothing in return from them but respect. In my country Romania, parents do not want to be an anchor hanging around the children's neck. Parents are proud if their children reach higher in the social hierarchy than their parents were. Parents help their children financially (if they can) even when the children have a salary or are married (if the parents are downsizing the apartment). But I see that in the Philippines parents are a burden to their children like some leeches. That mentality must be changed and then parents will no longer pump up the number of children when they realize that they as parents must help their children and not the other way around
Thanks!
Very well said Rubeauti. I am happy to see you are not afraid to tell it like it is.
Very courageous of you to speak out openly about the challenges your country faces.
Your discussion is not hateful towards your country, it is open and honest and thoughtful.
The Philippines has so much potential…….potential that is untapped at the moment.
It has beautiful and friendly people, magnificent scenery and just so much potential for growth economically.
I have been amazed at the development and progress of Vietnam over the course of the last couple decades and I would like to see the same for your country. I admire the Filipino people, they have endured so much in their history and I see so many happy faces in all the videos I see, despite the hardships.
You have a great spirit and love for your country. Your critique of it is not out of malice, but seems to be born out of the frustration of knowing and believing what it could be.
Keep fighting the good fight and stay safe.
We love you from 🇺🇸❤️
It was very brave of you to talk about politicians like that. Thumbs up.
We share your pain here in the U.S . This new Administration we have is so corrupt. Someday the people will run the Government again, not the other way around. Wishful thinking I know.
Corruption is in every Country some more then others but what it all boils down to is power and greed. They make reasons up to make it harder for people to live just so they can make more money . The harder they make live for the people the more money they will make and the more power they will have over you .
this is real talk, I'm proud of you for saying this. All you, we can do is work to make progress.
I am glad to finally hear a Filipino like yourself finally speak out publicly about the mass government corruption in Philippines. Everything that Jose Rizal fought against is still there in the form of modern Filipino politicians. When will the people rise up again? Regarding education: I have never seen a nation that allows kids to quit going to school in the third grade before. I was shocked and deeply saddened to witness this in the Philippines. Education of every Filipino is one of the keys to resolving poverty in your nation.
The philipine government dont care education.no education ,the young people have no future.
In 2009 I was in Cebu for the first time. I saw all these kids selling magazines to drivers waiting at red lights. My local friends explained me that these are not street kids, but their parents are unemployed. So I asked, if the parents are unemployed, why don't they sell magazines themselves so that the kids can go to school? No answer.
Rubeauti, thank you for talking about this subject in the PI! This is a tough subject to talk about because many thing (changes) would have to take in order for change to take place in the PI. There is so much corruption starting from the top political figure down to the small town local government officials.
wow... is all I can say. I have watched and listened to other Filipino/Filipina Vloggers... and this has been the most powerful one I have heard to date. No B.S keep up the great work. I am a fan and hooked.
You have presented some I opening comments about Philippines society, economics and government .
Not at all superficial remarks, as so many Vloggers tend to be on this topic. Well thought out and presented. Kudos.
I would say the issue is to stop looking to the government for help. People need to become more entrepreneurial and business minded and find their own way.
Wow. I totally underestimated you as just another pretty face. A very intelligent mind is behind those beautiful dark eyes. Good video 👍🏻
Best,most honest and sincere video that I've seen about the Philippines. Thanks !
It seems that same stuff with leaders is also here in the USA. Love your outlook and your advice with love and admiration!! Love you with everything in me!!
An absolutely first class analysis. This needs to have much more exposure.
Admire your courage and I can see the love for you country in your concern . You help me understand the Filipino and how intillegent they are . Also the tremendous ability and Intelligence the filipinos have my respect to the filipinos.with love.
Holy cow! That was well thought out. You’re one smart lady. Great vlog.
Hi, thanks for being so honest.... I'd vote for you, for sure!!
I have very close ties with the Philippines my whole adult life, spanning more than 42 years since Year 1980. A big problem with the Philippines is its population. With over 115 million there is not enough jobs or resources for its people. Overall I am very impressed with your video
The USA has 330 million. Population has nothing to do with wealth. It is about economic policies. They are leftists in the Philippines which destroys wealth. They vote for leftists which no nothing about economics and do stupid things like price controls on rice.
@@puppyupper4565, the 330 million population is spreaded out over 50 states in the USA. The Philippines total land mass is the same size as the State of Arizona, which is approx 1/37 the size of the USA. In the Philippines the total population is about 1/3 the population of the United States. Available resources and available jobs plays a very important role.
@@kenrice The Philippines has more resources than most countries on earth. Its problem is that they vote for leftists that destroy wealth. Here is one example, there are thousands. The Filipino gov puts prices controls on rice below the world wide market price of rice. This means the Filipino farmer can not invest in new equipment or more land. This has led to huge shortages of rice in a country that should be able to easily feed itself.
The leftist solution to this shortage. The gov buys rice from Thailand, Vietnam and the USA for more than it allows the Filipino rice farmer to charge. The leftists would rather pay an American rice farmer millions of dollars to invest in new equipment to grow rice and pay the transport fees to bring that rice thousands of miles across the ocean than to allow a Filipino to make a decent profit. That's absurd. Once that money leaves the Philippines it benefits the people of Thailand, Vietnam and the USA. If the gov let the Filipino charge a fair price, the money would stay in the Philippines where it would add to the economy creating jobs.
Leftists destroy everything they touch eventually. The Philippines has great wealth but after Marcos, the leftists have squandered it and lied about Marcos. He brought wealth to the Philippines, he did not take any.
@@kenrice Also population density of the Philippines if 358 people per square kilometer. Hong Kong is 6300 and Singapore is 8300. Neither of those has near the natural resources of the Philippines. If they embraced the free market they could be wealthy.
Rebeauti. I applaud you for saying the tough but true things you have brought to attention I so hope others will take to heart and change the things you brought in this video 📹 😊
@@Rubeauti well it takes much courage for you to bring yo light the important things you needed to say ..I truly believe you have what it takes to handle any type of backlash that you may receive..but I believe you knew in your heart it needed to be said..I sure hope that the ones that needed to hear what you said will honestly listen.and change ..will come ..maybe slowly but things will change. I really wish for the best..not only for you..but for all Filipina people 😕
Rubeauti, Tx for the very informative subject matter. I love your knowledge about your subject matter, analysis and historical overview.
Have sporadically watching your vlogs. I know that I have missed out. Today's vlog really stands out. You have more brains & common sense that 95% of the leaders I have met here. You are a super educated person. This makes you even more beautiful.
I think you're right about everything that she said. In the US they're beginning to teach kids to memorize memorize instead of thinking things through. I wish someone would go into A single barangay And start there and educate everybody in that 1 Area and then expand out and and as that 1 area gets college degrees have them responsible for teaching their area coming up coming up again plus all the other areas areas that need the education and I know education is severely needed in the Philippines
Very impressive video Rubeauti, be of good cheer however, the Philippines is an emerging economy the GDP of the Philippines continues to increase yearly and people are becoming wealthier particularly with the use of the Internet, as the mindset and the habits of the Filipino people change so will the people that govern them. A good practice is to compare the Philippines with where it was 10 years ago and not the other countries.
It’s a very good video and you made a lot of good points. I think one of the biggest problem Philippine face is lot of very young people have baby when they are very young, in this case they do not have opportunity to complete their education and they do not have enough economic support to arise their children, therefore they do not have chance to improve their economic status. In order for the country to improve economic, most of the family need to do better at the same time.
Great job Rubeauti! Many other vloggers seem hesitant to speak on politics, but you just grabbed the bull by the horns, while remaining respectful at the same time. Much respect to you for that.
🇵🇭Rubeauti for President!🇵🇭
Well said. I have been to the Philippines twice and I agree with what you are communicating. I am a retiring math teacher who is coming to the Philippines soon... I love the Philippine people and I love you.
Beautiful Rubi,
Another great video. Besides your physical beauty, you are intelligent and very well spoken. We viewers can feel your genuine frustration that's born from your empathy and care for your people and country.
I don't want to comment on the politics too much, I am not Philippino, it is not my place. In this video you focus on the broader issues and that is very important but many of these issue you may not be able to affect, by yourself, in the position that you are in at this time (who knows about your future) but what I would encourage you to do is to look at one, two or three Philippinos who are somehow in your life, friends, family, people standing right next to you now, in your space, and use your intelligence to educate them and encourage them to make a few better decisions in their lives, even if it's just very small things and when you meet friends of similar intelligence as you, encourage them to do the same. Just some advise and coaching for one fellow Philippino who has the awesome fortune to personally know you.
Good luck, your heart is in the right place and we all look forward to a next video of yours.
@@Rubeauti On a personal level, it is hard to unsee the problems once you have spotted them, and it is really frustrating when others refuse to see it for themselves even when pointed out to them.
Great video I am going to Davao in September I appreciate your channel. You could tell you were talking from the heart.
Thank you for making this video and for your honesty and humor in the video
Really good analytics! I traveled a lot through East-Asian countries and it was hard to understand that a country like Philippines, who had very good opportunities would be overtaken by so many other countries with worser starting conditions. But I guess you took the point.
Because other countries want investment from foreign capital. The Philippines thinks capitalism is evil because it creates well paid free thinking peasant classes that quickly dominate the govt with logical, intelligent laws. Can't have that. To hard to control. Better if they keep believing that free stuff is better. Socialism not capitalism.
Eloquently delivered opinion. Very impressive. Completely agree. Will things change? I don't really see it, I am afraid.
The Philippines based on my knowledge was one of the most wealthy countries in Asia not to far in the past. The next problem there is brought on by the top 3% who keep the rest down. The next problem is the constant inbreeding within the nation. Then there is the macho problem where men seem to be able to do as they wish to women and seem to get away with it. If the Philippines would have remained a territory of the USA the corruption would have been reduced big time and lives would be better. I still love the nation and its people
You nailed it , Girl!! Not many bloggers or citizens talk about this. Get ready to get bashed, it’s a sickening attitude of the Filipinos.
@@Rubeauti just rise.... rise! ❤🇵🇭
I’m glad that you spoke on these issues. Not many Filipino channels want to talk about politics, and expat channels won’t talk about it much because they worry about getting put on a government black list.
Don’t worry Nesara Gesara will come in to effect in less than a year and then all countries will be on a similar level ! Love and light to all ❤️❤️
Great Reset
Kumusta Rubeautie. I agree with what you say. I am an American who grew up in the space age and cold war. The Philippines 🇵🇭 needs to find local problems which need to be resolved and develop the solutions through education. The race to the moon focused the USA. Solving poverty to the benefit of Filipino families could be the focal point the Philippines needs. I fully agree the solution begins with goal driven education. My prayers are with the Filipino people. Thank you for your vlogs.
So true, look at Singapore, they realized their asset is their people. They stamped out everyday corruption and made there schools some of the best in the world.
I appreciate your analyses. You help me to better understand my dear daughter-in-law. She comes from Leyte.
Wow, you hit every point spot on. This vlog was well organized. I fully understand your views. It is the same here in the US. You are a strong and bold young womanm Many blessings for you and the Philippines. 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Rubeauty. I'm from South Africa and appreciate your honesty. Good video👌👌
You are definitely the most intelligent And brave Filipina I have yet seen on line in any format. Wow ..I am impressed.
Education is the key to growth. The ability to think critically and challenge the status quo only happens with a well educated populace. Unfortunately, there are growing pains in change but unless people are willing to suffer through changes there will be little to no growth. I actually thought that with the downfall of Marcos and the new government under Aquino that the Philippines would have come a lot farther than it has to date. Most governments of third world /developing countries would prefer their general population to remain uneducated and no birth control whatsoever. This vlog is one of the most sincere and honest vlogs I have seen in a very long time. I hope you are not putting yourself in a dangerous position politically, socially and physically. Take care.
Awesome insights for outsiders!Great build up and very good concerns. You hit on some really good points.
WOW!
THIS IS REALLY DEEP!
I HAD NO IDEA HOW BLIND I WAS IN REGARDS TO THE CURRENT STATE OF THE PHILIPPINES. I WAS TOO FOCUSED ON THE BEAUTY OF THE PEOPLE AND TRYING TO TRACE MY FAMILY LINEAGE.
THANK YOU, RUBEAUTI.
(FOR EXPLAINING CERTAIN SUBJECTS TO ME IN A WAY THAT I CAN UNDERSTAND).
❤️❤️❤️
You got a lot of respect from me and others watching this video. Others describe you using long messages. But I just want to sum up with a few words/phrases: you are intelligent, smart, courageous, skillful. Thank you for making valuable videos. Take care.
Rubeuti, this is an amazing, brave and very interesting videovlog. Salamat po!
Great segment, let all expat/visitors have a realistic view and expectations of the Philippines. Thanks, Rubeauti.
Very well said, my thoughts exactly. I am from the US and I know some Filipinos. I heard a while ago the Philippines received a few billion dollars and all I hear is that Manilla is thinking of making a train system, but I feel it would be better spent on opening business buildings to employ more people.
Rubeauti you are a great speaker for your age, and seem very knowledgeable about your country. So keep your attitude up and your future holds true.
Thanks for putting this a concise manner. Well done.
wow, I am so impressed. you are so sincere and so insightful.
Great video! Very important and necessary topics. Finally someone like you is talking about them. The most important ones in my opinion as well. I hope this inspires others Filipinos to ask the same questions. The Philippines has so much potential. You are correct, it's time to break the cycle and break from the mistakes and habits of the past. Time to stop accepting things as they are, just because it has always been that way. That's what you do when you love your country.
Hello Rubeauti , So nice to see you its been a while I still don't think I am getting your Video I have to search for them. Well very interesting video I feel for the people , they need people like you to speak up and try to make the changes it will never happen over night . You Country is such a wonderful place I would love to see the changes made . Take care always .
You are wise beyond your years. Best to you and your people 💕
I'm proud of your acknowledgement of the truth and demands for accountability and change.
I think YOU are the leader your country needs………intelligent, understand politics, well-spoken, attractive, passionate, charismatic……all the important qualities!
I'm an Economist. You are spot on as I see it. Of course, to be fair, I've never set foot in the country. However, I probably now never will. Please don't get me wrong, I am not entitled - its not my country so my opinion means nothing. But, Development Economics is my area of concentration. I fell in love with the people and culture from what I have seen online, and I was doing substantial research. I wanted to come to the Philippines and start firms that paid a bit above average and were substantially employee-vested, with a primary goal to create jobs and spending which started to create the growth Filipinos deserve. But, sadly, first I see a rising anti-foreigner sentiment (which, given how a lot of Sexpats have acted, and given the ridiculously high unemployment/underemployment situation this isn't surprising, just sad) -- I wouldn't even be able to hire outsiders for certain positions if I had the need. Second, let's be honest, it becomes cost prohibitive -- the amount of bribing I would have to do in order to enter any substantive industry and scale is exorbitant. That even assumes the bribes are honored, I have no recourse if they are not. And last, is a simple legal bias. Even if I were to hypothetically marry a local and become a full citizen -- courts just don't rule in foreign favor. Which means, its really easy to make someone jealous or mad (after all, business IS about competition and winning and losing). All that person has to do, for example, is cry rape against me. Then, even if I'm innocent and can prove it, I end up locked up in a horrid prison for years awaiting trial, and most likely end up dying of disease before release. So, nobody outside with actual altruistic motives can truly help, and we end up shifting focus elsewhere.
I would just go, you have talked yourself out of it before going. There is a big difference between theory and being there in person. Be bold.
I admire your courage. It is not easy to speak up even in a free society. You are a patriot!
hi, rubeauti i was actually looking for a video like this. i had 2 uncles in the phillipines and they both have passed away now. i was in manila when i was 9 years old and the year was about 1978. i didn't quite understand what poverty was but, was amazed at how many poor people i saw in the country. i could not understand why so, many poor people could not get out of the situation that they are in. its like the poor always seem to stay poor there and yes the country is like a baby making factory. both my uncles were businessmen and could make a decent living. i still remember seeing a mother with her baby leaned up against our car with a baby in here arms begging for money. was shocked to see this because this sort of thing did not happen in my country.
Great video lots of thought and research Im sure was done to present the facts you have disclosed your a very smart lady and as always your looking very beautiful. Thanks I always enjoy your videos.
Thank you for sharing! The circle of poverty in family or even country can't be stopped without ceasless effort. I believe you need a strong leader, but if you don't have them, you need to make them. I was raised in S.Korea in 1970-1990s. We were poor like anybody else. We were taught that if we want to be rich, we should throw away old paradigm, which is naive and complacent one. We had a strong leader, President Jung-Hee Park. He was a hero for our country. His decision to revive the dying economy was accurate and sincere. People admired him and followed his leadership. I think you need a great leader who can design the plan and execute the plan with the people of the nation.
Finally. Someone telling truth to power. Keep speaking out.
My Dear, it is obvious that you got a good education. Very good description of the problems that the people face. I would hope that expats who have a little extra could help some of the locals.
Good video. I like listening and supporting your channel. You are a hard worker. You and the Pea are my favorite 😍.
My first visit was 1990. At that time Harrison Plaza was the no 1 mall in Manila. A lot of progress since then. But u r right, to most people its still a struggle.
It has been over 30 years since I was in the Philippines. I visited Clark Air Force Base back then. Today I wished I had retired in the Philippines but I'm to old and have many health problems now. I feel for you and your Country. You can't change the Country but maybe you can change/fix your Province. One step at the time. Elect people who care about your country, not themself. Moving to other countries is not the answer. Take care of yourself. I wish I was 30 years younger.
Very good video. Thank you. You bring it to the point. Greetings Susanne
