She came with gifts and was actually being kind, I really don't think she meant to offend anyone. And believe me I NEVER defend this woman but this time idk she seemed nice.
Yes,Pedro is brain washed, since living in the America. As a girl I move from south Europe to west Europe,I was brain washed to,but now I am back home and my mind is clear again.😄
@@May-tm4wb lool the flash has been flashed too. Can you imagine i even used to be embarrassed if my mom wore her beautiful traditional dress and not jeans like everyone else ugh..
Whatever, it was distasteful and half assed. In the US people give gifts in wrapping etc This lady has all the money but gave them her own USED watch as some sort of “Samaritan” gesture. If she really wanted to gift something it should’ve been meaningful not just something to make herself feel better.
When Chantel said the house he remind her of Pedro‘s grandmothers house ..just look at Pedro‘s face he was so offended😂😂He was so offended to the point were he had to point out the difference🤣😂
Angenette comes from a poor family. We should be thankful for what we have in the US and other rich countries. Do not pass judgment on them and they are doing their best to entertain and welcome the Chantel family.
most of philipine poeple are poor that's why they always wanted to marry foreigners and leave the proverty... I saw many of them in japan, Singapore and Thailand working as a maid
@@Loleini91 Chantel has already decided that Angenette was scamming her brother without proof. Anyone can create an account on Facebook and pretend to be someone else. Ask the uncle to show what was said.
@@MrMatipid That’s a hard thing to prove, but doesn’t mean it’s not happening. Her reason for suspicion was based on Royal telling her that Anganette was talking to multiple American men. Also, that’s still no excuse for not holding Ang family to the same standard as Royal’s family. Why should Anganette and her family be given that courtesy, but not Royal’s family?
I think it was the gifts in general. She gifted them food and toiletries implying they’re very poor. Also, when you give gifts, you don’t create a constant stream to make it seem endless. You pull out a bag for each person and hand them everything. In my opinion they were presented very sloppily and as though they had put no thought into the gifts. I would have asked if anything was needed or wanted instead of just assuming how poor my new in-laws are. That’s how I approached my East Indian family in Kuwait. I asked if they needed or wanted anything. Now for my nieces and nephews, as they were children I just automatically bought clothes and toys.
First of all the translation sucks. What the parents were saying was they were surprised that the mom gave them gifts. He thought that because they’re poor that they might belittle them. But it was the opposite. They were surprised that she just kept pulling gifts one after another and also when she gave the “bracelet” from her wrist. Also they were both shy from the looks of it.
I honestly didn't pick up anything where they were offended. Look at TLC trying to create drama. The mom clearly said, maybe this is how they do things in the US
The dad was making the assumption that they look down upon them because the mom gave her a bracelet/watch off her hand. Sounds like he at the very least was offended if would judge them that harshly based off of that.
@@Loleini91 He was not offended. The translation is off. He was just shocked. It's a normal part of Filipino culture to bring a gift to people you're visiting. They've just never received gifts like that before.

As a Filipina woman, I actually think this was kind of Karen.. she’s not looking down on them nor insinuating anything offensive gifting them toiletries. In my culture unfortunately if you don’t bring home ‘pasalubong’ (gifts) they get offended, and if you do gift them depending on what it is it’s not good enough. Karen is at least trying, especially when she adapts to speaking the language. Unlike Ed!
@@pamveeee but to be so offended like hes ashamed and to good for the ones that still unfortunately live like that was rude. And I know I'm from the Campo
I thought that was kinda mean of Chantel even though she didn't say the house was poor or in bad condition..Pedro probably felt their poverty was greater then his family or didn't see his own family as poor at all.
I am a Filipino and I did not expect Chantel's mom to be that nice to Angenette's family, it's not offensive at all. But as to what Pedro said, he is the offensive one.
why’d he get so offended over her saying that it looked like his grandmas house, i don’t think she meant to offend him like that and he literally does not need to point out those things about her family’s house either 😣
She wasnt being rude at all she did was take off a bracelet as a sweet gesture I saw!! Super ungrateful ppl, Karen came bringing gifts for everyone be appreciative and say Thank u smh!!
They weren't ungrateful. They were just surprised by the gesture. I'm sure they are grateful but they're not super showy about it like other people. Don't be too quick too judge.
They weren't ungrateful, just shocked. It's expected in Filipino culture to bring gifts to people you're visiting. They just weren't expecting gifts like that
People are appreciative of the sweet gesture what is culturally offensive is one taking off ones own accessory right in front of the receiver as if it is hand me down. If you give a gift to a stranger, you dont give a second hand or used item thats offensive, unless its relief donation
I’m Filipino and the title is misleading. They never felt disrespected. Pasalubong is part of the culture, which they appreciated Karen for doing. They were just surprised by the amount of gifts she provided, especially by giving gifts she was wearing (which is common for family members to do but not like people they just met).
As a Filipina, I think that was nice of Chantel’s mom to do it to Angenette’s family to offer gifts. It wasn’t offensive at all from my own perspective. But everyone has their own opinion. Watching that episode makes me miss my home country. I am always thankful and I humble myself being a Filipino. Cheers
Don’t read into the title - it’s purely misleading (coming directly from a Filipino). They weren’t unappreciative as pasalubong is highly appreciated, they were just surprised at what she gave them. It’s also very awkward to have gifts handed like that publicly in front of a camera - how would you feel? “Ikog” is a term that doesn’t have a direct translation, but basically means “I’m shy that you are doing this for me and don’t feel worth receiving”. TLC and their bad translation is trying to stir the pot
Chantels parents told her parents that they treat anngenette like a daughter. Then Chantel tells anngenette to go back home and Chantel parents didn't even care how upset it made her. This family is so toxic. Always in everyone's business. And royal and anngenette are already married so just except it and move on. Its there life and there relationship. Pedro acting just like Chantel family.
Why would giving gifts be seen as rude? We Eastern Europeans always prepare gifts for family and friends wherever we go. It would be really not cool if they went there without any gifts.
We Filipino's are grateful and thankful for the people who shows their kindness and appreciation, but as culture of who we are, we are more thankful if our sisters or daughters feel more welcomed or loved by their family's spouses.
"Beware of Greeks bearing gifts" Remember that phrase re: The Trojan Horse. They bring gifts but accuse Angenette's mom being fraudulent on Facebook. The woman does not even speak English so would she communicate with Karen's brother???? Does he speak that type of Filipino dialect?? Does anyone question that? Hypocrites all!!
The dad is just salty. The mom cosigned on the dad just bc lol. The fam low key looks happy. Like they were trying to fight a smile when she gave them gifts. It's traditional in many Asian cultures to bring gifts when visiting someones home.
The translation gave it a different meaning. The dad wasn't salty AT ALL. They thought they were generous and they felt shy, but worried that his family might look down on them because they're poor.
I keep seeing everyone complaining that these people looked unappreciative about the gifts. I think it took them by surprise. Maybe they were uncomfortable too that they didnt have gifts or anything to offer Royals family. Also if they would have been even the least excited about the gifts Chantal and her mom would have said that thats why they were searching for an American for the gifts and things they can get from America just like Pedro’s family.
Chantel mom was being nice not looking down upon them, I think this family they r ashamed of their situation that why even if someone give them something they feel disrespected
Yeah I agree Karen was being nice. I don't think the family is ashamed of their situation nor were they ungrateful for the gifts. They were just shocked that they received presents, and I think they were also weary. Have you considered that they might have felt uncomfortable being filmed and just didn't know how to 'act' infront of a camera. I'm Filipino and I think the subtitles are misleading and didn't really properly portray what the family was saying.
The translation was off. The parents didn’t disrespect them. He thought they were gonna look down on them but was surprised because it was the opposite of his expectations. That’s pretty much what he said.
i dont even like karen but this was a kind gesture from her part , i dont believe she had any malicious intent by it .. if they felt "offended" thats on them
PEDRO SHOULD KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT REMEMBER WHEN HE AND CHANTAL GOT TO GATHER CHANTAL IS JUST ACTING LIKE HIS SISTER I REALLY DO NOT LIKE CHANTAL SHE IS ALWAYS STICKING HER NOSE IN OR ELSE SHOWING HER BODY OFF AND I DO THINK PEDRO AND HER IS LOOKING DOWN THEIR NOSE AT THE BROTHER'S WIFE I DO NOT WATCH THIS SHOW ANYMORE --LAST NOT THE GIFTS SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN GIFT BAGS GOOD NIGHT.
It's called trying to relate to something new by mentioning something you're familiar with. People do it all the time. It's normal. Now you're being rude saying Pedro's grandmother's house cannot possibly be compared to this sh!thole home. That's basically what you're saying.
The only reason I think Pedro tries to be petty about Royal and Angenettes relationship is because he feels some type of way about the difference in how they treat angenette and her family compared to him and his family. When they went to his grandmas house they got out, talked shit and left without meeting his family so for Chantel to compare the two places I see why he feels like that. They treated him and his family so disrespectful compared to hers.
I didn't think chantels mom or family was looking down on them, it was very respectful of them and generous to bring gifts to the family. I bet Angenettes family won't feel that way anymore when they're using their gifts. Plus they're the ones that didn't look appreciative for the gifts, I don't think they even tried to say Thank You even if it was in their language then Angenette could've translated the Thank You to the Family Chantel, LoL 😆
Its weird how she's handing over gifts.. she could normally just handover those stuff at once in a bag or something, rather than making it seems like a charity donation to poor people 🤦
the title made me think that they were gonna start arguing with eachother or something but still I think out of the whole season 2 for now this was the most wholesome moment
What's wrong with the bracelet? If I were to ask it's kinda sweet when someone gonna take off the jewelry she's wearing and give it to me. It only shows that she also love the jewelry it's beautiful and I'm special. Your title is misleading.
You guys need to understand ET captioned a CLICK BAIT. the translation could have been better too. The nom also stated that she considered it might just have been American culture. But the act of taking it off and giving it to them was what CAUGHT THEM OFF GUARD. When you take an article of clothing or accessory then pass it off to someone, it's like an afterthought that this person might need it more than I do. Before you guys apeak of ungratefulness, get the context.
So they went to another country to try making someone's best day (wedding) to be her worst, made her cry in all episodes, instigate problems despite her previous miscarriage and talk bad about their home while they happily show them their abode. A gift won't make it. Got it.
@Steven Should all people from third world countries jump for joy and wag their tails after being talked bad about? If that is the case, it is you who have much ego and pride. Angenette lowered her pride, took all the insults and was shown no mercy even when she had a miscarriage. Instigating problems is not good. They are already married. Something tells me they went all the way to her third world country in a plot to try ruin their their son and brother's wedding.
Karen displays such a morbid interest in digging up dirt on anyone who comes in contact w/ her family for the sake of providing storylines for the show. Since when does TLC allow their people to benefit from twisting facts and bullying.
Pedro now thinks he is better than anyone else because he lives in America 🤦🏾♀️. Chantels mom for once behaved decent like an adult woman and was respectful
Ok so many doesn’t understand Filipino culture. Any gifts given are very much appreciated, but Filipinos are full of pride, deep inside they are happy but shamed to show it too much. The used bracelet given by Karen to Anjanettes mom meant it is a special gesture giving what you like to wear or treasure and passing it to someone. When my friend likes what i have on and comment on it, i know she liked it so i pass it to her and shes happy.
TITLE should be Pedro INSULTS Agnette's Family. As a filipino, I don't think they were insulted by the gifts. It is our culture to accept gifts aka pasalubong. In fact if you don't bring a gift to their house that is more of an INSULT. I think they were more thrown off at the watch. Filipino parent eventhough they live a simply lif hates feeling belittled. They just don't want to be pittied over. They weren't insulted at all.
So many futile gifts ... they want to show that they are rich, but apparently they are so poor in soul. A simple but heartfelt gift was enough, but no, they wanted to humiliate.
I don't feel it was wrong I think it was pretty nice of her to give them gifts . I would do the same would make me happy and hopefully they feel comfortable around me and shows making a effort.
Filipino culture is different. We were taught at a young age to not accept readily what strangers or relatives give us, like we have so much pride to accept gifts. Even when we were hungry and they offer us food, we don’t admit we were hungry because we were ashamed. Well that was before because our parents instill on us the pride. I am glad the young ones nowadays are different, they are honest to tell their feelings.
So true. We have so much pride and we are ashamed to show our emotion. But time is changing for the better, we are being Americanized so to speak, we are more open and showing more emotion, speak freely and tend to show more love.
This family is so rude . The Mother is anything but nice.They r all trouble makers..Chantel is just an awful person always after Anjanette and Pedro laughs at them all this family needs therapy
Chantel's Mom really did nothing wrong. It was actually nice of her. But, me coming from a Filipino background, giving personal stuff in that manner can be a tad offensive especially that the 2 mom's are obviously not close yet. Just clarifying okay. I just hope along the way, they come together as loving mothers to help and nuture their children's relationship and marriage 👌
Oh Lord this is the classic scene of colonial bribing. I know the mum might mean well but let me say as someone from Africa, this would feel so humiliating and tactless to the hosts. They feel pride in their living conditions however poor they are. Give gifts but do so discreetly and don't make a big deal out of it, eg just leave the gift bags with names written on them to sort through later. That's culturally appropriate and tactful. Never take off something off you and give as a gift! It looks like a cheap handout! These people are not beggars they are proud hardworking people who do not see the economic status as being a differentiator. As a black family I would have imagined they would be much more sensitive and historically aware, i.e know about all this before making such major faux pas! Come on the son should have briefed them at least on conduct and expectations.
@@nobodynothing8234 It's the way in which it's done in this case and figuring out the cultural context. Gifting is a global sign of love and acceptance, just don't take off something off your body to gift or handout and don't gift to each and every one as if you are doing them a favor and blessing them with your wealth after announcing 'this is for you mama', 'this is for you brother' They don't need such grandiose announcements and declarations.
@@shembeliever6095 Africa is not a monolith. state where you are from that giving gifts is offensive. giving gifts is mandatory sign of respect in East Africa
She’s a horrible, ignorant person at the best of times this was tame in comparison. So sad to see Pedro getting on board with the snobbery and judgemental mind set. He’s lived that life yet hasn’t remained the slightest bit humble.
I see that many believe they are ungrateful. I know that some cultures they see gifts as a gesture of respect but some see it as disrespect because they feel you may see them less. Every culture is different, that's why you should ask the person who knows them best if that's ok to bring gifts. Is just depends, some people are proud of their home or lifestyle and culture and dont like others to give them stuff for free and aren't used to it. But anyways that's my opinion on some people I have encountered.
I think there is a slight drama before they came in on Angenettes parents house already. Thats why momma doesnt appreci8 bracelet gift from Chantels mom. Im from PH btw. And often than not, most people here frowned upon receiving gifts, ESP from your in laws - a second hand, most likely used bracelet. Thats just it. It depends actually on the family. If she thinks she can afford that here in the PH, why give her a used bracelet? You can do better than that. Much better if she handed her a perfume I think from US.
Angenette's family are just plain rude and ungrateful but good to know they're showing the world their true culture of ungratefulness by the fact that Chantel's Mom gave you her own bracelet was the highest form of compliment and respect she could ever give yet Angenette's family turned it around so what next - they're gonna play the victim card all "because" they're poor? Sorry but it doesn't matter if you're rich or poor - rude is JUST rude!
I used to really like Chantel and her mother . I really admired their family. I saw a innocent, close nit family whose parents love their children so well and they protect their children well. I really really really did luv karen and chantel, thought they were close to perfect in some ways. Boy was I HUGLY FOOLED by them. I'm starting to realize where and who , all the problems and drama , is coming from. I believe Karen, is the problem, probably the only problem. I bet if Karen was taken out of the picture, then they'd ALL BE HAPPY and FREE FROM ALL THE STUPID DRAMA that's AlWAYS present in their family. It's sad to me, but I also believe, 100% that all this trouble stems from this crazy, wacked out woman named Karen "" THE MU THUR "" ( as she called herself and carma being mothers ) that's about one of the most wacked out stupidest things I've ever heard anyone say about what carma is. DRAMA
Yo ET why you gotta mislead people with the title? TLC also makes a shit job translating what they actually meant. I’m Filipino, they weren’t offended, they were just shocked with the value that Chantel’s mom’s gifts were, they weren’t expecting it. Bringing gifts is tradition when you’re coming home, but to them they were given extravagant gifts so they were just shocked and thought maybe they’re looking down upon us or maybe that’s just how they do it in America.
She came with gifts and was actually being kind, I really don't think she meant to offend anyone.
And believe me I NEVER defend this woman but this time idk she seemed nice.
Wrong translation. They were not ungrateful.
They where embarrassed not ungrateful as she made them feel lower then she meant to do.
I agree.... im not exactly a big fan of this woman, but she seemed to be genuinely thoughtful with the gifts and everything

The translation gave it a different meaning. The dad wasn't salty AT ALL. They thought they were generous and they felt shy, but worried that his family might look down on them because they're poor.
Honestly, even id be offended if someone gave me their old bracelet
I keep seeing everyone complaining that these people looked unappreciative about the gifts. I think it took them by surprise. Maybe they were uncomfortable too that they didnt have gifts or anything to offer Royals family. Also if they would have been even the least excited about the gifts Chantal and her mom would have said that thats why they were searching for an American for the gifts and things they can get from America just like Pedro’s family.
Chantel mom was being nice not looking down upon them, I think this family they r ashamed of their situation that why even if someone give them something they feel disrespected
Yeah I agree Karen was being nice. I don't think the family is ashamed of their situation nor were they ungrateful for the gifts. They were just shocked that they received presents, and I think they were also weary. Have you considered that they might have felt uncomfortable being filmed and just didn't know how to 'act' infront of a camera. I'm Filipino and I think the subtitles are misleading and didn't really properly portray what the family was saying.
The translation was off. The parents didn’t disrespect them. He thought they were gonna look down on them but was surprised because it was the opposite of his expectations. That’s pretty much what he said.
Taking your watch off your own wrist to give someone is a bit odd and I can see how someone may feel offended by that
Right?
That is nice of Mama Shantel Giving Gift 🎁 💝💝💝
I would of asked my future daughter I'd like to give ur family a gift
What do u think or what would they like
So I possibly do not offend
Pedro and Chantel were the offensive ones😂
Chantel didnt say anything
Pedro is a hilarious fella
i dont even like karen but this was a kind gesture from her part , i dont believe she had any malicious intent by it .. if they felt "offended" thats on them
Pedro should just shut up if he has nothing good to say.. mxxm!!
PEDRO SHOULD KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT REMEMBER WHEN HE AND CHANTAL GOT TO GATHER CHANTAL IS JUST ACTING LIKE HIS SISTER I REALLY DO NOT LIKE CHANTAL SHE IS ALWAYS STICKING HER NOSE IN OR ELSE SHOWING HER BODY OFF AND I DO THINK PEDRO AND HER IS LOOKING DOWN THEIR NOSE AT THE BROTHER'S WIFE I DO NOT WATCH THIS SHOW ANYMORE --LAST NOT THE GIFTS SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN GIFT BAGS GOOD NIGHT.
Why is chantel bringing pedro’s grand mother’s house . Pedro’s home is decent . His grand mother’s home is his grandmother’s home
She just being rude as usual.
It's called trying to relate to something new by mentioning something you're familiar with. People do it all the time. It's normal. Now you're being rude saying Pedro's grandmother's house cannot possibly be compared to this sh!thole home. That's basically what you're saying.
Pedro was like No hell!😂😂😂
I didn't see where she offended them. She took gifts to them and they never had any gifts back.
So nice what she did ! Well done Karen!💓
The only reason I think Pedro tries to be petty about Royal and Angenettes relationship is because he feels some type of way about the difference in how they treat angenette and her family compared to him and his family. When they went to his grandmas house they got out, talked shit and left without meeting his family so for Chantel to compare the two places I see why he feels like that. They treated him and his family so disrespectful compared to hers.
I didn't think chantels mom or family was looking down on them, it was very respectful of them and generous to bring gifts to the family. I bet Angenettes family won't feel that way anymore when they're using their gifts. Plus they're the ones that didn't look appreciative for the gifts, I don't think they even tried to say Thank You even if it was in their language then Angenette could've translated the Thank You to the Family Chantel, LoL 😆
Lol why say everything is tiny tiny is better than nothing
Reading the title I thought she was gonna give something like shampoos, mouthwash and cleaning products, but I think those were normal gifts
Chantal, keep your nose out of your brothers business. Like Royal said, if you don’t like it go home but stay out of his life
Its weird how she's handing over gifts.. she could normally just handover those stuff at once in a bag or something, rather than making it seems like a charity donation to poor people 🤦
Anganette family might poor but, they’re actually has pure heart and honest people.
AGREE.
I see where her family was coming from though, different cultures don't always react the same as Americans would.
Atleast put the gift in gift bags.
I can see why they got offended but I don’t think she meant to be that way.
the title made me think that they were gonna start arguing with eachother or something but still I think out of the whole season 2 for now this was the most wholesome moment
What's wrong with the bracelet? If I were to ask it's kinda sweet when someone gonna take off the jewelry she's wearing and give it to me. It only shows that she also love the jewelry it's beautiful and I'm special. Your title is misleading.
You guys need to understand ET captioned a CLICK BAIT. the translation could have been better too. The nom also stated that she considered it might just have been American culture. But the act of taking it off and giving it to them was what CAUGHT THEM OFF GUARD. When you take an article of clothing or accessory then pass it off to someone, it's like an afterthought that this person might need it more than I do. Before you guys apeak of ungratefulness, get the context.
This is why you should only bring wine and chocolate. 😂
So they went to another country to try making someone's best day (wedding) to be her worst, made her cry in all episodes, instigate problems despite her previous miscarriage and talk bad about their home while they happily show them their abode. A gift won't make it. Got it.
@Steven Should all people from third world countries jump for joy and wag their tails after being talked bad about? If that is the case, it is you who have much ego and pride. Angenette lowered her pride, took all the insults and was shown no mercy even when she had a miscarriage. Instigating problems is not good. They are already married.
Something tells me they went all the way to her third world country in a plot to try ruin their their son and brother's wedding.
They look down on the family of the girl, and it's disgusting and 😔 l have no respect for chantel and her family they are Hippocrates. 👎
Pedro!!!! Please!!!!!!! Come on dude, humility!!
Karen displays such a morbid interest in digging up dirt on anyone who comes in contact w/ her family for the sake of providing storylines for the show. Since when does TLC allow their people to benefit from twisting facts and bullying.
So what, she went overboard.
they are definitely on the come up.
Pedro now thinks he is better than anyone else because he lives in America 🤦🏾♀️. Chantels mom for once behaved decent like an adult woman and was respectful
Pedro needs to shut up. You came from dirt, I came from dirt, she came from dirt, let’s be proud of that shit. Look at us now 😂
Nice of them. I hope they always like that.
Ms. Karen now are getting nicer than previous season 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥰🥰🥰
I used to like and admire their family so much until this new season came out. And it makes me a bit sad too cause of how well I thought of them.
Ok so many doesn’t understand Filipino culture. Any gifts given are very much appreciated, but Filipinos are full of pride, deep inside they are happy but shamed to show it too much. The used bracelet given by Karen to Anjanettes mom meant it is a special gesture giving what you like to wear or treasure and passing it to someone. When my friend likes what i have on and comment on it, i know she liked it so i pass it to her and shes happy.
TITLE should be Pedro INSULTS Agnette's Family. As a filipino, I don't think they were insulted by the gifts. It is our culture to accept gifts aka pasalubong. In fact if you don't bring a gift to their house that is more of an INSULT. I think they were more thrown off at the watch. Filipino parent eventhough they live a simply lif hates feeling belittled. They just don't want to be pittied over. They weren't insulted at all.
Mama Karma is actually really nice this time. It’s Pedro being rude
This family oh so sad PLEASE PRAY for them they need help
So many futile gifts ... they want to show that they are rich, but apparently they are so poor in soul. A simple but heartfelt gift was enough, but no, they wanted to humiliate.
I feel sad for Angette, Royal's family is horrible. But I like Royal for standing up for her girl.
They weren't offended!😅😅
Pedro is hilarious 😂🤣
I don't feel it was wrong I think it was pretty nice of her to give them gifts .
I would do the same would make me happy and hopefully they feel comfortable around me and shows making a effort.
Filipino culture is different. We were taught at a young age to not accept readily what strangers or relatives give us, like we have so much pride to accept gifts. Even when we were hungry and they offer us food, we don’t admit we were hungry because we were ashamed. Well that was before because our parents instill on us the pride. I am glad the young ones nowadays are different, they are honest to tell their feelings.
Really Pedro ! Is like he forgot where he came from 🤷🏻♀️
Americans forget that asians are grateful but they are not about showing emotions like Americans are.
and not all asians are poor like that.. jsut saying
So true. We have so much pride and we are ashamed to show our emotion. But time is changing for the better, we are being Americanized so to speak, we are more open and showing more emotion, speak freely and tend to show more love.
This family is so rude . The Mother is anything but nice.They r all trouble makers..Chantel is just an awful person always after Anjanette and Pedro laughs at them all this family needs therapy
I didn't knew that in the Philippines giving gifts is bad
It’s not. They take whatever you give them literally
What's wrong with this woman????
She’s AmeriKKKan
@@judethaddeus9856 --Really? Considering
she is black.
Chantel's Mom really did nothing wrong. It was actually nice of her. But, me coming from a Filipino background, giving personal stuff in that manner can be a tad offensive especially that the 2 mom's are obviously not close yet. Just clarifying okay. I just hope along the way, they come together as loving mothers to help and nuture their children's relationship and marriage 👌
I thought there home was very sweet and had what they needed ..they seem very loving family
Oh Lord this is the classic scene of colonial bribing. I know the mum might mean well but let me say as someone from Africa, this would feel so humiliating and tactless to the hosts. They feel pride in their living conditions however poor they are. Give gifts but do so discreetly and don't make a big deal out of it, eg just leave the gift bags with names written on them to sort through later. That's culturally appropriate and tactful. Never take off something off you and give as a gift! It looks like a cheap handout! These people are not beggars they are proud hardworking people who do not see the economic status as being a differentiator. As a black family I would have imagined they would be much more sensitive and historically aware, i.e know about all this before making such major faux pas! Come on the son should have briefed them at least on conduct and expectations.
In the US bringing welcoming gifts isn’t rude it’s very respectful and kind.
@@nobodynothing8234 It's the way in which it's done in this case and figuring out the cultural context. Gifting is a global sign of love and acceptance, just don't take off something off your body to gift or handout and don't gift to each and every one as if you are doing them a favor and blessing them with your wealth after announcing 'this is for you mama', 'this is for you brother' They don't need such grandiose announcements and declarations.
@@nobodynothing8234 they are more than just Americans. They are Americans that want to be white but unfortunately they can’t 🤣
@@djdramademiks6823 ? they are a normal black family
black people are not cartoon stereotypes
@@shembeliever6095 Africa is not a monolith. state where you are from that giving gifts is offensive. giving gifts is mandatory sign of respect in East Africa
That's a great experience
She’s a horrible, ignorant person at the best of times this was tame in comparison. So sad to see Pedro getting on board with the snobbery and judgemental mind set. He’s lived that life yet hasn’t remained the slightest bit humble.
Lmfaoooooooo Pedro
This is fake. I think the show told them to pretend that they took offense to her gifts. People love gifts.
Why one by one ?
Pedro always reminds me of Rafael Nadal when he speaks English
I see that many believe they are ungrateful. I know that some cultures they see gifts as a gesture of respect but some see it as disrespect because they feel you may see them less. Every culture is different, that's why you should ask the person who knows them best if that's ok to bring gifts. Is just depends, some people are proud of their home or lifestyle and culture and dont like others to give them stuff for free and aren't used to it. But anyways that's my opinion on some people I have encountered.
I think there is a slight drama before they came in on Angenettes parents house already. Thats why momma doesnt appreci8 bracelet gift from Chantels mom. Im from PH btw. And often than not, most people here frowned upon receiving gifts, ESP from your in laws - a second hand, most likely used bracelet. Thats just it. It depends actually on the family. If she thinks she can afford that here in the PH, why give her a used bracelet? You can do better than that. Much better if she handed her a perfume I think from US.
Off course everyone will look down on you when you are poor
Angenette's family are just plain rude and ungrateful but good to know they're showing the world their true culture of ungratefulness by the fact that Chantel's Mom gave you her own bracelet was the highest form of compliment and respect she could ever give yet Angenette's family turned it around so what next - they're gonna play the victim card all "because" they're poor?
Sorry but it doesn't matter if you're rich or poor - rude is JUST rude!
I used to really like Chantel and her mother . I really admired their family. I saw a innocent, close nit family whose parents love their children so well and they protect their children well. I really really really did luv karen and chantel, thought they were close to perfect in some ways. Boy was I
HUGLY FOOLED by them. I'm starting to realize where and who , all the problems and drama , is coming from. I believe Karen, is the problem, probably the only problem. I bet if Karen was taken out of the picture, then they'd ALL BE HAPPY and FREE FROM ALL THE STUPID DRAMA that's AlWAYS present in their family. It's sad to me, but I also believe, 100% that all this trouble stems from this crazy, wacked out woman named Karen
"" THE MU THUR "" ( as she called herself and carma being mothers ) that's about one of the most wacked out stupidest things I've ever heard anyone say about what carma is.
DRAMA
Yo ET why you gotta mislead people with the title? TLC also makes a shit job translating what they actually meant. I’m Filipino, they weren’t offended, they were just shocked with the value that Chantel’s mom’s gifts were, they weren’t expecting it. Bringing gifts is tradition when you’re coming home, but to them they were given extravagant gifts so they were just shocked and thought maybe they’re looking down upon us or maybe that’s just how they do it in America.
They got out of the van here
