Aside from the mouth watering foods to try, what’s really amazing is the friendliness of people you met in the food market. That seems to be the common theme every place you go in the Philippines. The hospitality of Filipino people which makes your journey so much better Mergim.
Just a bit of trivia Mergim :) When you hear locals say 'nosebleed', that means they are having a hard time speaking or conversing in English. It's a pinoy humour when confronted with native english speakers. Most pinoys can understand and speak in English but only a few can be conversational. So if someone is having a hard time and they want to make a joke of it, they'll say nosebleed lolz
I think I can safely say that, per video frame, Mergim interacts with enthusiasm with the locals moreso than most foreign vloggers currently in the Philippines. No wonder, he's becoming more endearing to many Filipinos.
In Philippines, you dont eat, you "it" lol, that is the way they pronounce it with that Filipino accent, but on a side note, WOW, I never cease to be amazed by Filipino hospitality. I can recall multiple times that I was treated with so much love there, even amongst people that either didnt know me, or barely knew me, but one time that comes to mind, is I went out to the theater with my shipmate, that was a female, she was part Filipino, and she invited her friend. Her friend was ofcourse a Filipina, and we went to watch some bs movie at Harbor Point Mall in SBMA Subic Bay, Philippines, I think the movie was, "Jeepers Creepers 3" this was back in 2017 or 18 if I recall correctly. After the movie, we all went to the KTV bar restaurant in the 2nd floor of the mall, and that was all I saw of her for a while. So some time later, I was in the bar that sits right on the pier (Alava Pier) there in SBMA, to this day, out of every single port I went to, even SIngapore, that Alava Pier was the most convenient access to a town that I have ever seen of like just stepping off the ship and being right there in the action in SBMA. But a couple of times, I went into the bar called, "Liberty Sports Bar and Grill" which was always so fun, I have alot of friends that worked there (the good ole days before the events of the past 28 months), but I ran into her a few times, we exchanged FB messenger accounts, it was nothing big like dating or anything, just friendly stuff, she was the initiator of all the talks for the most part, cause I'm admittedly kinda shy around kinda older, mature, beautiful women like that, but one night in particular, was a night that I would never forget. So this one night, she randomly just invited me out to go drink with her, and her friends and family, far away, like Subic CIty. I had my reservations about going, being that I didnt know her very well at all, or her friends, but they seemed pretty nice. They were so cool, and talkative, they didnt want me to pay for anything, they rode me in their car, but boy I will say, that was a long drive, far away from all the tourist area, it was raining pretty hard that night, that was a REAL rain season right there in Philippines, you literally couldnt see the road at all in some places. So we got there, they had tons of bottles of Jack Daniels, and food inside, they were talking with me the whole time, it was alot of people there, they invited me inside, allowed me to lounge, and sleep on the couch til the time it was time to go, and when it was time to go, they made sure I got back to where I needed to be, safely; though the streets were completely flooded. I say this for 1 - noting the hospitality, the nearly blind hospitality of Filipinos, it is unsurpassed in my book, and 2 - this is for those claiming, "Philippines is dangerous, or not safe" lol, I was a total BLACK foreigner, venturing into the unknown with people I dont know, far outside of even the tourist area, in Subic Bay, and nothing happened to me, I was treated like family; Philippines is always no.1 in my heart, yes over my own country even.
Thank you so much for that beautiful story you shared here about Filipinos hospitality and friendship. It's really awesome. Hoping that you reunite with them again someday. 😊
It is crazy how many people invited you to have a taste of the food they were having. As a Filipino, I have never séen such hospitality. I guess if Filipinos invite strangers to their homes during a fiesta, then such a festive atmosphere creates the occasion!
@@MergimVlogsYT Culturally speaking, that's just how Filipinos are. The fact that you are naturally friendly and approachable, they reciprocate in many folds.
Awwk, that prayer before eating tho. That's very Filipino. 😊 that card you're giving with your TH-cam Channel details on it Mergim, that's amazing. haha
Must be a new food court in IT Park. Will visit this place when I come to Cebu next week. Love watching your video as I s a lot of new places to visit.
Kuya Mergim, I'm glad you always get to see the people you used to get along with, on your different trips and in different places. I'm glad you got to hang out with some locals in the Philippines and eat out with them. Thank you so much for making good content about the Philippines that other people can watch. Hope to see you soon Kuya!
No matter how many videos I have watched Mergim's vlogs.. his contents continue to attract a wider and more subs due to its interesting...relatable...unique...variety of vibes. These foodie vlogs are way exciting...fun....funny. keep it up Mergim....love watching this content...thank you...be safe...God bless.
Hi Mergim, watching from Ontario Canada. As way of appreciation for featuring my home country, I am not skipping advertisements on your content. Thank you so much.
Truly enjoyed watching this vlog Mergim! You mingled with many people, shared food, you're open to trying new things, and that's what it's about! Compared to other street food vlogs, yours is more about the social aspect and eating together! Love it!
I've been here before, quite impressive. They're very organize and the food selections are great. 😊 I think Sugbu is the old name of Cebu, and Mercado is Spanish for Market. A lot of words in the Visayas are Spanish words. Just sharing haha
@@wahoowahoo2341 So eh ano kung Ilocano ka at Ilonggo naman ako nakakatawa ka Lakay pasyal ka sa Iloilo huwag mo halohan ng pulitika.Nanalo na nga kayo so shameful.
@@MergimVlogsYT not sure what age you called young. They are just on your age level. Maybe + or - 5. Filipinos look younger with the age. That also comments here in states, Filipino face doesn't go with the age. I heard all times.
Majority of Pinoys are very sociable and welcoming people. We just love to meet new friends like part of the groups and enjoy. Specially having the ambiance like Sugbo Mercado. ☺️👍
@@dbug-mm9xw i think mergim meant "young professionals" as in the group of working professionals or "yuppie" and didnt literally described them as young or younger tham him, which makes sense bec IT park is the hub for BPOs, call centers and IT jobs which is dominated by the young working professionals.
This is the video with most happening ever! who would have known in one video: - some random group let you try Tuslob Buwa - seat in the middle of a foreign family and a Filipino group letting you try Boodle Fight - seeing the Japanese girl from Oslob (like what are the chances) - and meeting a subscriber - just awesome man.
Hi Mergim, I enjoy watching your vblogs very much. It’s always exciting, informative, unique and diverse. You are the only blogger I’ve seen that interacts with the locals wherever you go by yourself. It’s really more fun in the Philippines bcuz there are a lot of places in the north and down in the south to go and explore. And the most important of all is the fact that Filipinos can speak English even the people in the streets or market and Filipinos are very welcoming and hospitable by nature and beautiful culture.
I really wanted to finish the story as soon as I clicked the play button. But the moment the more-than-two-minute-ad played, I automatically kept my itching finger to avoid clicking the skip ad. The feeling was like "Keep off the green grass!" I noticed that about a hundred subbies are adding everyday. Hopefully your collab with other vloggers brings you additional interested viewers and subbies. And did you just eat "tuslob buwa"? And experienced "budol fight"! And meeting Misa again! And being identified by subbies from Cebu. What a story tonight!
Thank you for the support and sitting through those ads. People that colab for subs is always awkward. I will only colab if I think the person is genuine :)
@@MergimVlogsYTIt's our pleasure to support your channel because we like its contents and your delivery. And yes, I observed that you are very careful with the suggestions for collab stories. There is nothing wrong with standing for the principles or points of view that you believe in. That makes you genuine to your character as a person.
Thank you for this! Definitely a must to experience when I go back home in Cebu City. The evening you spent there looked so much fun and yummy-licious! Love from Pinoy in LA, CA 😍🇵🇭😍🇵🇭😍
That place is interesting to visit, everybody is friendly and share their food. I like to go there every night and don't have to spend anything. Hahaha.
Luv d way ur talking & mingling with d locals, that girl vlogger who's rotating her phone is so funny 😀little by little d people can now recognize u..good sign ur heading to d top😊..keep safe & take vit.c for protection.!
Mr.Mergrim for your efforts to take a vlogs all over the cityof BGC? It's a nice place at least we see the place away from the countries . I APPRECIATED THAT. FOR YOUR TIME.

Cebu are the friendliest people in the world . Queen City of the South
From my experience, I can agree with this :)
Careful Mergs, snatchers are way friendlier... they would just randomly hug you.
Ilonggo are also feiendly to foreigners too.

I felt pretty stuffed after that
Nice one,,.mouth watering foods 😋 sir Mergim

You're a natural! Effortless way of mingling with the locals
