The interviewer knows what he's doing. 😉
Free tourist advertisement for the Philippines.
@@simplestreetinterview and you sure do know who to interview. hehe! more power to you fam!
He definitely got our attention. 😅
Just because you get a few pretty girls to go on camera for an awkward interview, doesn't mean you know what the hell you're doing. The guy can barely keep a conversation after he's asked his basic question. This guy is awkward af. It's like his first time talking to girls IRL.
@@GT-Oldschool i think you misunderstood his comment.
wherever you go, whatever country it is.. ALWAYS do your research about the places your going to visit, because not all people are good people. as a woman, i prefer not to go outside at night especially if you dont know the place, because danger is everywhere! we dont know when and where the danger is, just be careful nalang po❤
Ok this one is way better than the previous video we saw the interview at the end has a better ending and he (blogger) does have a follow up question and show interest on people answers great job bro !!!!!! Your in the right track 👍🏻👍🏻.

Good answers because they don’t just generalize a whole country, but they give answers based on their current location/region and also give a perspective that although their current location has been safe from their experience that other places in the Philippines might not be the same.
yeah there's parts that are controlled by anti-government rebel groups lol. Idk if it's still like that now though.
I agree with the French girl. Paris is not as safe as it uses to be before. I am French. Paris used to be safe when I was younger that was 30 years ago but now iys very dangerous. Before i walked in the streets at 2-3 am after party, I feel safe but now nobody does that anymore. Philippines is much safer but it depends which area. If youbare in Makati or BGC is really safe
Can you mention what changed and what made Paris unsafe?
Also Makati and BGC depends on the location, a new zealand tourist was just shot to death a couple of weeks ago in makati
@@barbaraescuela60 the one who was hold up is her girlfriend, but he immediately help her and tried to fight back the hold upper not knowing that some of the criminals here in the philippines will shot you without hesitating if you resist
@@Ragnarlothbroook Yes because of the violent society we have created in the Philippines sadly. Criminals will shoot for no reason since police will shoot for no reason and justice is not really available in general for the poor. We might und up like brazil if we keep on going this direction.
@@barbaraescuela60 That part of Makati is the area near Pasay (which my friends and I call "Ghettosay")...
@@barbaraescuela60I don't think so
Comparing Manila to the US, especially in California, you don't see news here that people are being mugged at the mall. So I can say that Manila is safer than most cities in California.
I mean California is bigger than the Philippines😂
@@freakycrusader Geographically yes, but California is less than half the population of the Philippines.
@@freakycrusader Well we have a working law and police here. So, what's your point then 3rd world country?
@@densegunial3674 what do you mean?
@@densegunial3674 u dont get it
In reality, only Filipinos say it's not safe here but it's probably one of the safest places compared to other countries.
Relatively speaking, the dangerous environment status in the Philippines worldwide currently is in 30th to 31st ranking, considering that not good, it's not even within 50 ranking of safest countries in the world. Reality hurts, there are risk living in the Philippines when it comes to petty crime cases😞😞😞
@@charlesjosephdiputado804 Fake news, our beloved president BBM and Duterte made it the best and richest safest country in teh world.
@@charlesjosephdiputado804 And how are you suppose to believe these rankings?? When Australia is on the 18th safest places when there are gang wars happening.. And the UK in the top 38 safest?? When in 2020 alone there are more than 500 stabbing fatalities in the UK.. 500 stabbings yearly is unheard of in the Philippines!! I say these "rankings" and surveys are biased and are just pure BS..
Are you kidding me😁....
@@charlesjosephdiputado804 The sad reality is that foreigners are treated so well yet the bad people who wanted to harm/harass women and girls are our "own". 😢😢
The Philippines is generally very safe. That being said it’s always a good idea to pay attention to your surroundings. Even in the safest places there is always the potential for meeting the wrong person. The people in the Philippines are the friendliest kindest people I have ever met.
There are places that are not safe for travelers, especially in south east Mindanao. Just ask the locals, they know the areas to avoid.
every country has bad apples.
@@hillbillyintheasia6122 we dont grow apples in the philippines😅
😂😂😂
😂😂hi I'm from Mindanao and it's safe even morning u travel
@@genalyngipulan1454 I stand corrected. I meant to say southwest Mindanao. SE Mindanao is Davao. I was there in February and I had a great experience. People were very nice and it felt as safe as Cebu or Duma. I was there to attend my son’s wedding and the brides family were very nice. I will definitely be going back.
Anywhere can be dangerous late at night. I live in the US & I make it a point not to be outside late.
yeah amerika such a safe place ROFL
It's a high chance in the Philippines to die 😂 and here in the middle east is safe even if ur alone because Allah will kill you
@@susanthejew6351 which one?, north, south? 🤷♂️
It isn't safe anywhere. Not even in church or at your own home.
@@Sarnt_Eskie Yes, even in our own room is also not safe there! We can die even in our room, don’t you think so?
Just so you know there are already a 150ish reported mass shooting in the usa in just 2023 alone
No place is 100% safe it's all about awareness. Always walk around with a buddy, Stay away from dark places and notorious streets/alleys.
Nice to know where to stay alone and where to tag along with friends in the Philippines. This is a nice information for travelers.
Спасибо даша, в этом и был смысл видео.
its the airport that has problems. Things placed in your bag and chances of missing your flight even if you go 3 hours in advance due to the long long queues.
Anywhere can happen that... Even in America...
It happens anywhere in the world, that's why when you bought a ticket it was written in the paper by the airlines" arrive 3 hours before your flight to avoid missing it"
If your luggage has been checked the place cannot leave without you .
@@darren5971 , that is no longer the case.
It's getting better now.
Improved style of interviewing with a follow-up question. Good job! Made them more comfortable because sometimes they expect a bit more if they are opening-up. Depending on the westerners or origin, some like "thats it, bye" others like a send-off message like "I hope you enjoy the rest of your time here" or something related to the things they just told you for example "well i hope you enjoy exploring the places you havent been" or something.
Yeah he seemed to come off as scripted
agree. had to type my reaction in notes because i had to let out my feelings about some parts of the video 😩 the stiff questions instead of open-ended questions which imo are better e.g. "tell us about yourself" and the stiff reply after the girls answer the questions 🤖 they could've made a more enthusiastic response. makes you wonder if they are genuinely interested or just here for work. well yes it's work but you have to make them feel comfortable. let them talk and you might get more info outside your questions that can be used in the video. notice how interviewer was able to build rapport with a few of them. why can't they do the same to the others. they're understandably not a seasoned host but we recognize efforts. should be more engaging. make it worth their time. lacking empathy when the girl shared a bad experience 🙈. we're not here to assess their survival skills but good enough, just lacking empathy. oh no that was awful im sorry that happened to you girls. that was smart move btw. who was it? how dare they harass people? disgusting man should be put in jail 👮♀️
this feedback sounds brutal but it had to be said and not meant to discourage them but hoping this will help improve their skills. if they feel good we feel good yt creator feel good a win for everbody 😌
really like that they asked about good and bad opinion/experience. good video quality. much appreciate their efforts to make this content. subbed 👍
hope everyone keep safe and enjoy their stay in the philippines ❤️
Most of the places where you interviewed these foreigners are in malls, streets of Makati and BGC which are generally safer.
We all feel the same way when we are in a new place. I believe you should just be aware of your surroundings all the time and avoid dark and deserted areas when you’re alone
Philippines is a nice country and the people are so kind.
I walked from Quezon to Taguig and around Mandaluyong, Bgc, MAKATI, and Poblacionn at night and between these districts too.
Sometimes you feel uncomfortable but the same you can feel in all around of the world, but it's because as woman you always feel weeker
It's how you carry yourself as well. We are respectful of our elders and women so catcalling is definitely a no-no. Glad to see our foreign friends enjoying and having a safe time and hope their times and travels were memorable and fun enough for them to want to come back. :) Great Interview Bro.
Please interview more foreigners. It's interesting to know their perception
Kudos to the interviewer. You asked excellent follow-up questions and created a positive atmosphere for the respondents.
Informative! I like the way you are doing this, the philippine government and its tourism department will learn and can improve the safety of all foreigners living and visiting the Philippines.
Don't travel alone, especially in far-flung areas of the country. It's better to be safe than sorry.
You should just enjoy it. while you are here. don't be afraid to go somewhere else. just learn to get along and don't fight, we will love and protect you. it's natural for filipinos to be helpful and friendly, just shout for help, there are many people who will help you, we don't take sides with those who do wrong
Amen!True!
This is true although foreign women or women that are good-looking in general get to be stared at by men but relatively Filipino men are just curious but not usually a threat. But be sure to be safe always. Learn with the locals.
Very true it depends on location
True... Makati, BGC and ortigas is ok to walk at night
Cool that is nice para alam natin kung anong tingin nila dito sa pilipinas about sa experience nila dito.🇵🇭
Here in Oakland, Ca. Is not safe to walk at night. Even in the daytime sometimes. I think it depends on the places. BGC is a very nice place. Just don’t walk alone, in a very late time and wearing not appropriate clothes especially.
philippine people is really down to earth, if they see a foreign people they will hi/hello back to you and always keep smiling , people here in ph is very welcoming but i like to agree it depends on location, Manila is a safe place as a tour , and also philippines has a beutiful islands and beaches enjoy visiting Philippines
Many travelers, wherever they go, put their guard down because they are vacationing in another country. Because foreigners/travelers visiting a foreign country think, not just in the PH, because of the color of their skin they will be safe and visit places that are generally a no go. That's a major issue of thinking! You have to be smart where ever you go and remember that you are a visitor in a foreign country that's different from your own!
if you want a realistic answer, try to interview foreigners working in Manila, Cubao, Ortigas Extension area, etc.. Makati and BGC have tons of foreigners that they feel comfortable at also alot of security. Also if you are a foreigner specially if you are Caucasian, you get special treatment from the security. I recently learned that an American millionaire lost his Rolex in an upscaled resort in Cebu, that he never worn his watch outside his hotel room. So.. it pretty much depends where exactly.
I always said that the foreigners who live north of the Pasig River tend to be far more "localized" than those who live in the Makati/BGC Bubble...
Living outside BGC, Makati or MOA for a short time is good just for your development. Once you're toughened up then move back before your luck runs out.
Just subscribed your Channel from a Filipino OFW!
Quezon City is a mixed bag. It can be safe or dangerous depending on the area you are hanging out. Most crowded spots are safe from dangerous people like stalkers or drug addicts or robbers. Though its not 100% safe as there can be pickpockets and (rarely) armed robbers.
True. I live in the area and i can confirm that. Sometimes I’m like in the safest area then in another it’s like a kill zone 😂
Truth! QC is quite big and unwieldy and not so easy to manage!
on another video, someone made a interesting comment about Filipinos. you know how foreigners keep saying how Filipinos are so nice and friendly ? well yes, that's very true; but also there is a little bit of a dark side to it. she mentioned about how Filipino's tend to be, kind of like, they don't like conflict or to fight with people so much, especially with strangers. i think there is a lot of truth to this. (i am Filipino btw.) there is a certain politeness about it, and i think this is bad because that means someone may not be totally honest about how they really feel, and they are only trying 'to be nice' to avoid conflict. i think Filipinos should be more honest with people, even with strangers and foreigners.
The best to do always safe where ever you go, dnt go alone specially dark place
Am glad and grateful that many have good comments about our country the Philippines to the glory of God❣️🙏
Nice i love the channel❤ watching from GUAM 🇬🇺
Thank you for watching kababayan!
Hi, in this content, i'm more amused with the interview to the French girl/woman, she's the most lovely than the others😍😍😍
Philippines is safer than here in america nowadays. People carry guns in america and off course it’s safer in the Philippines because there’s a lot security guard everywhere you go. Philippines is beautiful country what else can you say? As you can see people from other countries they come visit but they ended staying.
Thank you so much.
Filipinos are mostly shy. I myself admit that no matter how hard i try to compose myself in front of women, i tend to be antsy. It's also because of this that most filipino men are gentle when dealing with women, but of course there are also some idiots -really, really thirsty guys. There are also some places where men would go crazy over chicks, but I don't think they'd harm a girl... I just find it annoying to look at tho.
The 2 Vietnamese girls has good answers..
Can't understand them well
Thank you Ladies,😊❤just be careful.watching frm hongkong
The Philippines has different risks depending on what city you live. For example, Tondo Manila is like Paris in the 17th century. You can see homeless people and kids living with stray animals. But the chinese and their filipino slaves in divisoria are worse than animals.
Nice enterview Philippines safe for foriener woman pilipino friendly loving respect foriener thanks u guys choice my country Philippines good comment my country god bless stay safe
Same as any other country. Safety depends on specific neighborhoods. I'm a guy but I wouldn't walk in the inner cities of New York or Baltimore or Miami at night.
Alexandra is pretty. I hope she enjoys her time in our country.
In all honesty, every location in the world has the potential to be safe. It is the unpredictable actions of certain individuals that can create an unsafe environment.
The French girl is very cool
just saying this is great content sending support mate
Thanks, idol! Stayed tuned!
Good interviews bro. General you interview the foreigner between Makati and BGC. This is our economic hub , compare to NewYork. Nice place all you mentioned bro. Try to go outside makati and BGC ..
I been here in Moscow almost a decade, Moscow also nice and safe place . Nice people
Yeah, one of the nicest cities in the world. So much safer than any US city.
My office mate went to moscow once when she was still in college for a school field trip. She was pushed from behind and one of her friends got her foot intentionally stepped upon by russian, with no apology given. Some even shouted some rude words at the Filipino students.
So true, sometimes filipinos treats foreigners betters than our kababayan haha
and that's the question 😅
Wow, the interviewer is multilingual. Nice.
GREAT VIDEO, NIC TO EE ANOTHER TEXAN HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES.
Thanks for watching!
Good info , outside the Makate not really safe unless with a local
How about some foreign American vloggers who live in Quezon City. They haven't been mugged or something. Not all places are safe and unsafe. It depends on where and what time you go. Don't expect that you'll be safe when you're walking alone at midnight in a dark deserted areas. Use common sense at all times and in every situation.
safe to swim on shallow waters than to brave the deep. well lit places over dark isolated corners.
In some part of Philippines yeah..like BGC,MAKATI , ROCKWELL or somewhere in the city.but not provinces
Just don't go alone to be safe in any place Rule of thumb don't display your valuables and don't get drunk you'll be an easy target
Ang aking limang sentimos para sa clip na ito. Although the channel name says Simple Street Interview, however there should have been additional questions prior to the main agenda of the video.
1. Do they know anything about the Philippines prior to their arrival or stay? If yes, where or what medium did they got the information from?
2. How long does the interviewees have been staying in the Philippines?
3. Where did the interviewees have been in the Philippines?
4. What was the reason that they stayed late night?
5. Catcalling and other forms of harassment depends on number 3.
The response of the interviewees does not really represent the whole Philippines as most seems to have been in designated financial and commercial districts only (Makati and BGC). BGC was privately owned and have its own rules and a lot of strategically located peace and order or security personnel. Same goes if they were only within the vicinity of Makati's highly developed areas (CBD).
interesting topic finished it up to the end
and love the vietnamese lady in brown shirt
It depends in what area/neighborhood in the Philippines you are going to
Good day..nice one..
surprising to see so many foreign females.. i thought it would be mostly older men visiting
speaking as an older male who wants to go
@PanayFun exactly. I am 66 We all want younger more traditional ladies
Far more foreign men out here. Foreign women were few and far between.
I'm Thai, I'm here. Ive seen lots of young foreign women and men here.
In Provinces has a lot of foreign older men probably because of retirement...
On the islands it’s more younger western women. Totally different. Like Bali.
These people love our country.
Go to Panglao, boracay, siargao.
That french girl is amazing!
all this time i thought paris was safe because some people want to go there. want to do some romantic getaway
Some areas are not safe there are snatchers and pick pocketers especially in crowded areas but catcalling is not a thing here in phils very rare especially for foreign women
GOOD JOB SIMPLE STREET
Remember in every place there is snake even in paradise just be vigilant & careful
Philippines had some of most underated foods llike menudo mechado morcon paela lechon haminado pinakbet sisig imbutido sinigang pancit palabok buko pie and many more
I like lechon and sisig, I wonder why it is not as famous as Chinese food.
they have a good answers they not generalized the whole country it depends where they living.
The curacao mnt had won the 2019 edition of the kings cup of soccer in thailand.
Hi,good pm welcome in philippines i'm happy to meet you....
it depends in every place and in every country there is safe place and dangerous place
We must have to be careful at all times
The problem lies in the corrupt people in government agencies and airports where thieves and robbers abound putting the Philippines in a bad light.
No country is perfect... Even rich countries had some corruption issue, thieves and robbers... Paris has a high rate of robbery and thieves... Us also has issue about travelers luggage... Everywhere anywhere can happen... That's why safety is important when traveling....
its rare to see a catcalling here and as i Filipino im just woah when that girl from France says almost everyday she experienced it in her country.
I think there is always rough places to avoid in EVERY COUNTRY. You can't be too careful lol
Welcome to our country, i hope ypu enjoy staying or having vacation here? Just be careful, stay safe.. Enjoy our foods too, i hope i can have a gf foreigner ❤
YES! BUT YOU MUST NOT GO ALONE...CHOOSE PEOPLE YOU CAN TRUST...DON'T GO NIGHT TIME ALONE...IF YOU WANT TO GO OUTSIDE DURING NIGHT, GO TOGETHER WITH TRUSTED PEOPLE...
in masbate city where i originally came from,i often met women walking alone at night even 11 or 12 midnight.many single women tend also to sit alone even at 11 or 12 in the evening.
They're working 😂
Any place in the world, you should be careful as always. Especially for women at night, alone.
The Russians really loves the Weather :)
True
We respect foreign national visiting our country because they will be our promoter to their home country.
I would like to point out, the Texan girl mentioned that her friend was asked how old she was. In the Philippines people can look younger than their age so probably the reason why he asked, and her mentioning about braces; in the US people who have braces are young people about 20 and below or in their teens. People who are older almost never opt to have braces, but usually used other methods to correct or beautify their teeth. In the Philippines people at any age still used braces to straighten their teeth. So the person who was asking was just trying to make sure that he is not going after someone who is underage
Still creepy though
In western country specially the US asking age of a girl still considered creepy questions cos there are a lot of perverts there it's totally different in the philippines i never been in the US but im using app i met many western people so im quiet familliar with that you should expose yourself to western culture so you'll have knowledge not only just having an opinion
Still creepy
Hahahaha yeahhh but it was foreigner they'll don't look young😅
I'm a Filipino,but I want to remind all the guest want to go to my country,to avoid missing your things etc,much better if you are in the Philippines don't used you're gadgets while you are in the bus ,or any kind of transportation,like example when the bus open windows because not all places is safe ,some people rob you're gadgets while you are in the ride.. please take care and be responsible for your own things ☺️☺️🇵🇭
Aside from the place mention most places like cebu city, specially davao city(as long as you dont commit a crime) is safe
Kaya kau mga pinoy dapat hingkayatin ninyo mga kabataan na ingatan ang image ng pinas
Better job 👌
Two ladies were just towering him. how tall are they? 6 foot perhaps?
Every city should have police visibility, especially in slums and deserted areas.
in Philippines police and security guards everywhere, that's why you never heard mass shooting in Philippines.
If anything, disrespecting women here in the street is unheard of because aside from the law against catcalling and leering.. many concerned citizens will call you out or jump at you for your audacity to do that, especially if the woman is just minding their own business. It is actuallly one of the safest places to be.. except when you are involved in crime organizations or whatever. However, it doesn't mean that we are crime-free. Still, keep your guard up because there could be a few criminals you might encounter anywhere.
Sometimes it’s the people we know who really can do harm to us wherever we live in the world. I am a Filipino and I do believe that it will always depend on the circumstances. Crimes against women are probably 99% from people they know not from people they meet on the street. Catcalls or robbery probably happens only in shady areas so try to avoid going to those places or just try to wear clothes that is not provocative or says you are rich 😂 and stay alert.
even filipina who is born in the philippines would not advise walking at night alone. that being said i guess just commonsense wise walk with someone or not at all.
as long as they don't sleep on the street or to get drunk with men on the streets or walk alone in the dark places.. although in provinces mababait naman karamihang tao..
Porke't ba taga Manila masama na at hindi mabait. kaloka kayo. Millions ang tao d2 sa Manila. Iilan lng ang mga masama. Parang sinasabi nyo majority ng Manilenos masamang tao.
it depends on the place dont go tondo its not safe..
I agree with you lady from Texas. It is safer over there than the USA.
here is my answer, as a filipino ,,,, safety will depend on the environment.. atleast here in the philippines, i can say taht walking in a highly urbanized streets or places like BGC, Makati, Pasay , Quezon city is much safer than walking in a place like Manila or any other places.. Davao also is a safe place,,, i cannot totally say that philippines is safe to foreign women.. but ofcourse, you cannot generalize the people,, And also, you cannot compare MOSCOW to MAKATI , moscow is almost the size of cebu island, or even bigger so ofcourse , we can record more crimes there than makati which is just a very very tiny component of metro manila .......im from cebu city, we are also a highly populated city in the philippines , but in crime rate, we are much safer than metro manila , our city is one of the safest city in my country, but despite that, i cant say that we are totally a crime free city, thats why i encourage foreigners who wants to visit my country to be more sensitive ,active and prepared ... and also, if you want to visit philippines, please dont think that you are visiting newyork or singapore,,, philippines is philippines,, you will meet different kinds of people, different attitude,,, but whether you encounter positive or negative things while visiting my country ,please avoid generalizing them. if you meet good people, dont think that all people are good. if you meet bad people dont think all are bad......but one thing is for sure, we also want peace for my country we also want safety for our people and our visitor..
tagalogin ko nalang heheh...sa lahat ng nag koment dito ito yong may mas magandang komento.
@@jaibelampoloquio4836 thank you maam
I love the French and the Israeli girl and also the american❤🥰
Yes, i'm much amused seen talking with those 3 girls than the others😍😍😍
The French girl was my favorite.
Nice interview ! May be you can ask them next time about their culture shock in the Philippines, likes and dislikes. If a foreign women like them can be attracted to a Filipino man ? Gracias Amigo
Gracias. Ya tengo esas dos ideas de vídeo en mi lista! Las haré en un futuro próximo.
There you go again... Filipinos are energetic about foreign women...
Based on my social circles (and I am not exactly somebody who can be described as a "social butterfly" by any means), I personally know DOZENS of Western women who have gotten involved with Filipino men in a romantic/sexual context during their stay here over the years! The majority of the Western women I personally knew who have done so tend to be either Russian, British, French, or German women...
I think I like Alexandra and Noy ❤😅😄✌🏼
the girl in an avocado green tops has a resemblance to Gal Gadot, so gorgeous!
