These things are really true. First time i arrived here in Canada i was really shocked. Its not the was as expected. I even asked myself what i was doing here. Hahaha. Well ive adjusted now. But what you mentioned are really true. Driving. Malls. Apps. Haha. I litirally down grade in almost everythibg except the cost of living. Anyway enjoy you two. I really enjoy watching you.
We've kind of done the opposite. Come from Australia to live in the UK. We really miss the big tropical thunderstorms from Australia/Asia, but we love the UK summer, with its really long days. The biggest thing we miss when we think of The Philippines is the people. The Filipino people were all so lovely when we were there a few years back. ❤️
@@TheJuicyVlog You guys are close enough! When Australia lifts its travel bans, you should definitely check it out. We're happy to give you tips if you want some!
@@lsmith6378 well yes, almost everything is cheaper than from where you are, so if you have lots of money you could live like a king here. But if your level of consciousness about your money is that, filipinos well be running after you or scam you for your money.. yeah that was happening years ago when we still had corrupt governments, specifically after the Marcos era, right to before the Duterte administration. Mostly those people in government did not respect and didn't care for people living in poverty, which in turn those people didn't also think of caring and respecting people, and some even had criminal minds. Lol. But Presently filipinos in general is back to being loving, caring, friendly and generous. We want guests and foreigners to be happy in our country.
During these very trying times, I often forget to be thankful for all the things that my country has to offer. With this vlog, you guys just gave me a reason to pause, look at the greener side of things, and actually appreciate the Philippines once again, so thank you so much for that! P.S. I always look forward to your daily vlogs because they make the quarantine life a bit better each day. Stay inspiring!! ❤️
I'm living in Australia and I do miss the friendliness of the Filipinos as well as the many staff that assist you in stores. It's absolutely fantastic! ❤️
@@giggletravels Money don't grow on trees. You can have more people earning enough so they dont sleep on the streets and starve or you can have fewer people on jobs getting higher salary in exchange for more homeless on the streets. If they increase the min wage, either the company will pass the cost to consumers or let go of some of the staff. You're not supposed to make a career out of being a store clerk unless it's your own shop.
Hi George n Lucy as one of ex Dubai and a Filipino working in sales I can also proudly say that we are a big impack to the shop owners, and we even have a customer mystery shopper. And also most of the sales person in duty free are filipinos, because they are really knowledgeable of the products and good in customer service.
Foreigners: I love the weather in Philippines! Filipinos: **Nauuhaw, napapaos, Nanghihinang umiiyak sa loob ng refrigerator habang nagsasalita ng "Gusto ko makahawak ng snow"** (Thirsted, Drying, weakening, crying inside a refrigerator while saying " I want to touch a snow")
My two Indian friend came there. They didn't even sweat walking in the streets of The Fort under the sun but when they are here. Both of them will be covered in sweat. If only people will learn to always be grateful of what they have rather than complain on what they don't have. There will be more happy people
I guess it's just you and your friends. I dont know anyone who'd say that, ang OA! Yes, it could be very hot, but havent u gotten used to it by now? You can face a fan, you can put ice in front of the fan, drink cold water, take a bath, etc....
about driving specifically in edsa, we always say to beginners(im not sure if everyone say this but a lot of people i know does including me), "if you can drive in edsa then you can drive anywhere around the world with ease." edsa is like a battle ground for drivers. XD
The downside is (from my observation), drivers from the Philippines are normally not used to following the rules of the road. It's more of, "whatever goes". That's why EDSA is like a battlefield. This poses a problem when everyone else around you expects you to behave a certain way on the road--like following your own lane or not changing lanes at an intersection.
I'm a Filipino, but for me, nothing beats Mumbai and Delhi (and Bangalore, while we're at it). We Filipinos use our side mirrors and not take over lanes if we see that we won't fit. In India, the fold their side mirrors, because they think it is an unnecessary car accessory. My Indian companion told me that I need three G's to be able to drive there and they are, A Good Break, A Good Horn (Busina) and a Good Luck
Yes there will be an IKEA shop soon. It'll be the largest in the world. 70,000 square feet if I'm not mistaken. Construction is currently ongoing right beside the Mall of Asia!
Actually, the shop floor will be the same size as everywhere else (which is still huge). What is not mentioned is that the extra estate space will host some 80% of the IKEA's worldwide Customer Support, and even some of the IT. That's tens of thousands more quality jobs for the Manilenos.
I am from the UK and I was there for 4 weeks from Dec 2019 - Jan 2020. I just cant wait to come back. My apartment is in Manila. Philippines shopping mall makes the shopping malls in England look like a cupboard. You can get up to 4 malls within a square 2 miles, unlike England, you have to travel up to 2 hours from one to another. Enjoy it guys and hope to connect on my next visit. I totally agree with you on all points.
Ohh really it's 2hrs before you go to another mall in UK? But in Philippines there have 4 Big Malls just connecting to each other in Ayala, Makati City So you can can shop till you drop.anyway Metro Manila is filled with many Big Malls awesome.
Try climbing Mt. Pulag around the month of January to February the temperature could drop to 0 degree and if you are lucky enough you see the Sea Clouds which us breath taking. Love you both ❤️
True. We went there 2016 Decmber we were caught by a sudden storm in the middle of the night at our jump off point it was freezing. In the morning all the leaves of the crops were frozen laminated with ice.
@@rayjunsay2840 glad you guys enjoyed it. i'm a fat couch potato so it was a difficult climb for me but my girlfriend convinced me. and you'd think it would be my body that would've given up, but no. When we got to the peak, my girlfriend came down with the flu! Crazy. I did enjoy the caves of Sagada though.
I can't help it. I shed a tear when you mentioned the lazy boy in movie theatres in Manila. With just P500, I evem have unlimited cola and pop corn there. I miss you, Manila.😘
I am a Filipina who migrated to the UK in middle age, and when I started living here I was so disheartened by the fact that you cannot just walk in a dentist’s clinic and have emergency tooth treatment. You needed to book and you can of course go private but it will cost you an arm and a leg. I needed a specialised root canal and it cost us 600 pounds! So whenever I go back to visit, I have all dental, eye and cosmetic treatments like facials, massages etc. which are pricey in the UK. Other than that I love the UK. I have dual citizenship. Thanks and more power. Will follow your vlog. Watching fr Hoddesdon, England.
Its been a pleasure for us Filipinos that you enjoyed Philippines the fact that you moved in here. Certified fan here and of course a subscriber. Thank you so much. A warm welcome from us. Hope you have a great time here in Philippines. 👍👍👍
Unfortunately, we are very near the equator to snow. We wouldn’t have these amazing beaches if it snows in the PH. I wouldn’t trade beaches for snow, either. I guess we can’t have it all. 🤷🏻♂️
Yes its true, Diverse Landscape, in fact in one Thailand vlog called WORLD 360 DEGREE, Philippines Series (please do watch 4 part series), since it is recognized as one of World Diverse Destinations, a Thailander working in the Philippines acknowledged that "VISITING ONLY THIS COUNTRY WILL MAKE YOU FEEL AS TRAVELED AROUND THE WORLD" as she explain the diversity of places in the country.
I've worked & lived in UK (Coventry, West Midlands). Mostly spot-on on what these 2 said in this episode. Here are other things that are quite unique in UK: 1. Higher tax (salary-based). Other taxes such as TV tax, Road tax, & Council tax. 2. Free medical (unless you want private hospital, and if you are a tourist). 3. Disciplined drivers and their transport system is very good, but less public vehicles during Sundays & holidays. 4. Expensive car park fee. 5. Roundabouts (Rotunda in the Phils.) which can be confusing at first. 6. Beaches are cold (even during summer). 7. Malls close early specially in small cities/towns. 8. Brits' love of Fish & Chips, Football (soccer), tea, reality TV. 9. Brits call lunch "dinner" and dinner "tea" or supper. 10. They love asking "Are you alright?" no matter how many times you've bumped into each other in workplaces. 11. Different spellings of certain words, like paedia/pedia, colour/color. Words like loo (CR/toilet), ages ago, cab (taxi), push bike (bicycle), cheers (thank you), and many others. 12. They tell times differently: quarter past 2 (2:15), half-past six/half-six (6:30). I might have forgotten something else, feel free to add. Cheers!!!
Had a bad experience a decade ago on a London street. Asked I think was a Londoner lady crossing my way, where is this or that place. Without even thinking and she continued to pass by, knowing I am an Asian, replied “I really got no clue.”
Not really mate. Every city you go anywhere in this planet, you'll encounter some unpleasant people and/or experiences. Just be thankful that you are able to travel...
In Ireland strangers all the time talk to person next to them , commenting about things what happening or talking something random. There’s lot of hi to strangers passing by too . Town and country sides. And it’s nice mostly
Wow man, I learned a lot from you guys and I am a Filipino. I am glad that you are enjoying the culture, food, and the people of the Philippines. Stay safe and God bless you both!
Two very different places and in many respects completely opposite ways of living. Nice to hear your comparisons and commentaries. I like both but definitely enjoy traveling in the Philippines more because of the weather and beaches 🙌💯☀️🏝
As a Filipino i am oftened amused when o see foreigners choosing to live here in Manila. I sometimes want to leave the Philippines because i just get so tired of our Goverment/politics, but this video made me see how blessed we are. You are going to create a great UK migration. Cheers! :)
and go where? Corruption is not a Philippines only problem. Money and Power corrupts people so that problem is pretty much everywhere you go. Even worse than the Philippines in some cases.
As a Filipino living in the UK, there are things I love in the Philippines which are not in the UK and there are things I love in the UK which are not the Philippines. I just love both of these countries.
Haha speaking of service in UK, went to a shop in the airport, this lady at the counter i think probably practiced saying “no” not knowing they actually have the item that I’m looking for 😅
Wow!! Lovely! I just saw your vlog just now. First time subscriber. I’m here in the Uk living in Romford, Essex but a true bloodied Filipino. I envy you guys because you are enjoying life in our country but I am dreaming of going back home in few years time. I really really missed my home country Philippines. Thanks much for the nice comments or observations in my country. Glad that you really love living there. Enjoy your life there & take care🙏😘 In addition to what you mentioned is.. if you are in the supermarket you don’t have to carry your stuffs, somebody from the supermarket will help you put all the grocery items in the your shopping bag & will help you carry all your stuff to your car. While here in Uk “no one will help you”. You can leave everything in the customer service if you want to continue shopping without the hassle or burden of carrying your shoppings bags whilst going to one shop to another. That’s one of the things I missed back home.👍
You guys faces never grew old, looks like you're really enjoying your time in the Phil. Have you noticed that even it's warm, your faces feel like moisturized? How cool is that!!!
Hi, guys good to hear that you enjoy Philippines too much, Im born Filipino but immigrate here in the UK , to work in the NHS, been here for 15yrs now as a british citizen, but I also applied for dual citizen in the Philippines, hoping some day that I will be able to go back to my home land to start a bussiness, your video is so uplifting for me as a Filipino British, keep up the good work guys God bless.
Much appreciated how you guy's appreciate our country. It shows how down to Earth and open minded you guys are in terms of learning and experiencing about our culture and our traditions.
With this video... British explorers will explore and flock to Philippines and live their lives under the sun. Forget about the privilege and money. One life enjoy it at least we will all die with a smile in our face with halo halo on a 🏖. 😂10 more years you will see a diverse population. But we hope they will integrate and be more friends with LOCALS rather than co-European vloggers. Telling everybody Filipinos are nice and friendly but no genuine effort to integrate gives them a wrong message that you stay in Philippines for massive audiences and rack up TH-cam income. I know culture and language is way different but Pinoys integrates abroad so can you. No harm!
It's amazing that you're living in the Philippines and I'm Pilipino living in the snowy country Canada for decades since I was a kid. So glad though that you love living in the Philippines. Maybe someday soon I will come home and build a house and enjoy the sunny weather like you do. Well guys, take care of yourselves and stay safe traveling different places in the Philippines. Have fun. ❤🇵🇭🇬🇧
omg I can totally relate! im currently living in the UK right now and missing Phils to bits😭.. enjoyed watching this and agree to your lists! keep safe always there!
I really learned a lot today from you both. Thank you. I've been away for four decades and just started visiting on a regular basis after my husband died.
Check out Uptown Mall at BGC- they have a four-step process before they let you in the mall: temp, hand sanitizer, mist, foot bath. They used a cubicle to implement the first three
Just want to clarify myself, I do appreciate everything they mentioned about my country, I guess I just didn’t want them to sound offending to the other side. However, thank you so much for making me feel proud.😐
@@mariloumamenta5563 You're not familiar with British humor, they are very very offensive. Anyway, they're allowed to say what they want be it better in the Philippines or better in the UK as long as it checks out.
We wish you the best guys. It is the people of the Philippines that makes it all different - warm, hospitable, and speaks good y. English! Plus the food. Hope you enjoy your star. Thanks for all your videos. We enjoy watching them. Looking forward to more. Keep safe and keep travelling!
Appreciation. This is the most fundamental happiness tool. Appreciation is the purest, strongest form of love. It is the outwardbound kind of love that asks for nothing and gives everything. Thank you for choosing the Philippines ❤️ I hope you guys enjoy your stay, always. Indeed they are beautiful and happy British couple, stay safe and healthy.
I couldn't agree more with you regarding driving there, Lucy. You really do have to adopt a more flexible, relaxed and go-with-the-flow approach. The "chaos" actually becomes quite pleasant and enjoyable. And I noticed how relaxed drivers are there. Thanks for reminding me of the things to be grateful for about my country and heritage. Love the UK, too! I love the art and cultural diversity of London :-)
Watching your videos has been now a part of my daily routine. It made me feel a bit closer to my home country. Especially now that I can't visit the Philippnes due to the pandemic. Thank you and God bless to the both you.
Upon viewing this vid for 1min. &20 secs I noticed that u both changed for the better. For me, George looked like a much younger Pierce Brosnan and Lucy I don't have any idea of which celebrity u look like now but ur definitely more beautiful than before the lockdown. Staying in ur apartment/condo unit for more than 60 days did make u both so good looking and healthier(thanks also to Lucy's everyday prepared healthy food and ur calisthenics/exercises). Congrats! 👍❤
I'm 100% English. I live near Newcastle and I hate it here. The people the racism the weather the mass amount of processed food. Good food is expensive and healthy food is generally more expensive too. The lack of things to do here too. I've been to PH twice and cant wait to get back
Love this video. I’m Filipino and I totally agree with a lot of your points!!! My comments are more of just the reasoning of certain things you pointed out. 4:01 Thats because they work off commission. So if the sales person is able to get you to the checkout, they get paid for that commission sale. And they are trained to know things about the products to be able to work in that store. Sometimes when you are just window shopping, it can get annoying though. 5:13 The cost of living here is much cheaper of course than UK so the cost of entertainment here is too. Also movie watching is always a thing here especially in the city. The cost of movies actually went up a lot already. Tickets used to only cost P200-250 a ticket before but now it can range from P300-500+ depending what mall you’re in and if you do the fancy Lazy Boy theater. 7:22 This is funny just because it applies to you guys because you are foreigners and clearly (sorry for labelling) white. But Filipinos don’t talk to other Filipinos randomly. LOL! That is SUPER WEIRD especially in the city. Although we are very hospitable and welcoming to foreigners though. I don’t know if it’s a colonial mentality thing but we just are. 9:03 The reason we have cash on delivery as well is because some Filipinos don’t even have a credit card. Some don’t even have bank account believe it or not. So cash is still a very relevant thing we still use compared to other countries. 10:00 OMG! How? Hahaha. I never got my license cuz I never want to drive in the Philippines especially Manila. Traffic is just horrible. It takes me 2 hours to get to BGC from Manila (border Quezon City). The rules are not as strict but that’s why there are lots of bad drivers here. LOL! 13:28 Yes there is going to be an IKEA here. The opening date was supposed to be 2020 but with the whole pandemic, we’ll see. 13:47 OMG!! We have sooo many malls! and big ones too! 15:53 Probably only on really high mountain tops/peaks. The coldest the Philippines ever reached was around 6-7 degrees celsius Great video! Sorry my comments were so long. LOL!!
@@avivbenavi That's nice. People in your province are probably friendlier. LOL! Technically they are still foreigners because they still hold a foreign passport. But also I'm talking more ethnicity-wise. Because it's very evident the aren't from here, people are more welcoming because we want them to enjoy our country. 😄 HOSPITABLE FILIPINOS FTW! My mom is Malaysian and still holds her Malaysian passport but is a permanent resident for 30+ years already. People don't treat her differently from other Filipinos because we look similar as Southeast Asians. But that's just my observation.😊
@@emmaanna92 Point taken. Understood. (By the way what I meant by non-residents are non-residents of our town/province. They're still from the Philippines.) I think it has something to do with unfamiliarity or with the effort the other people exerted to visit our not-so important town. So people from Manila or people from the next province or people from 2 hours away are shown hospitality.
It’s great to see you guys voicing out the stuff you like about the Philippines despite the few obvious unfavourable concerns in the country.The UK has also been our second home & we love it as much as you have fallen in love with the Philippines
About the cinemas: true that snacks in UK cinemas are sooo overpriced and there's not as many choices - it's literally just sweet or salty popcorn. I miss the cheese, sour cream, barbecue, chocolate and so many different flavours of popcorn
All I can say is it is sooo true coming from a Filipino living in Europe for the last 7 years. In general the video sums up that everything is easy and laidback, if you have the ways and means, everything in the Philippines is way easier.
It's kinda surprising to hear that driving in the phils is more laid back? Most foreigners i know say they get stressed easily here than in their country hahaha...
Hindi kasi araw araw sila nag dri drive. Minsan lang ata palabas pa ng Manila and they usually drive sa provinces sa pinas. Pag foreigner ka and you work in makati at nag dri drive ka araw araw ma stress ka talaga pero pag monsan lang at palabas pa ng manila, mas maluwag talaga ang policy natin compare sa ibang bansa lalo at marami masunurin sa ibang bansa
Thanks for appreciating our country. I love PH but i always dream of living in UK, I am obsessed of the culture and history, i watched documentaries related to Castles in UK, i read and watch everything about the Royal Family, i looove Princess Diana, i love watching movies based on Kings n Queens of UK, i love British singers, 1D, Ed Sheeran,Adele, i love British Actors n Actresses esp EMILIA CLARKE 😍 and of course love love you guys ❤
Hi guys , I’m a filipino but I moved here in the UK in 2003 . We lived in the cotswolds which is an amazing place for 5 years before settling in Bromsgrove. We have a house in Baguio , everytime we go home my daughter who was born here in the Uk don’t want to leave baguio, she hate warm weather so obviously anywhere outside baguio is hot” 😅Hopefully she can change her view as she grows as she is more a Brit than pinoy .&I’ll show her this video of yours. Thanks ,cheers 😀
Thanks for appreciating PH!i actually love this country too,but there’s just one thing I don’t really like I mean if I can trade it to other country I would love to experience cold season too...but other than that PH is where my ❤️ is.
I was born in the Philippines but I live in Ontario, and I noticed the same thing that you guys did when it comes to store staff. Recently my family and I went back for vacation and as soon as I entered the SM department store to buy some clothes, I had about two or three of their workers come up and ask how they can help and what stuff I was looking for. One of them even walked with me throughout the whole store to help me locate each item. Needless to say, the shopping experience was smooth and the only trouble I had was choosing from the huge variety of styles. And I agree with you 100% about the size of the malls in the Philippines, they're huge! I swear you need like at least a full day or even more to fully get through all of MOA.
Philippines cinema are much cleaner and spacious, glad Edmonton, Canada are starting to change their seats into a recliners as well but the snacks are still expensive, love 💕 this vlogs and enjoying your reactions channels, good job guys and stay safe❤️
This is why I like watching you guys. I have been in the US for a very long time, you give me "updates" on "actually" living or current life and changes since I left the Philippines.
People are friendly, yes. Those rushing to get a tube train would even stop by to help me with my suitcase, etc. I think what they meant was that here, people just do their thing. When you enter a shop, some staff may greet you but will leave you to browse while they carry on with their job. In the Phils, you have staff that are doing the job that needs to be done, then you have people who will follow you around to make sure there’s someone there to help you. When you’re walking around in the UK, some people think it’s weird if you smile at them and they don’t know you. In the Phils, people will smile at you or even go the extra mile to say hi or something.
First time I went to the UK and my bf's mum cooked rice with curry. I panicked inside when she used the COLANDER to drain the rice!The worst rice I've tasted so far. I had to pretend I liked it though bec. I didn't wanna look rude. haha We went to Manchester, England last year in December, and I wanted to go back home after 3 days because the weather is just horrible. I didn't see the sun for 2 weeks that we were there. I enjoyed shopping during Xmas though, bec. everything is so cheap. So yeah, next time am going there, I'll make sure it's summer.
Haha I feel like you're getting spoiled with the services here with it's convenience. But I can't blame you. Maybe it's because we're modernizing the way customer services business should be in the future years. Lucy referring to fb market as guerilla marketing, which is really really effective and convenient to customers. Nice content as always. ❤ this channel.
Thank you very much for all the positive views about my beloved country. I totally agree with your opinion. I now reside in the UK with my family. We are very fortunate to be UK citizens and there are things that you can’t compare a first world country to a developing country such as education, healthcare system, infrastructure, public transport, pollution, environment, political system , quality of life, etc. You are absolutely right when you mentioned about the warm and happy-go-lucky mentality of Filipinos. They are resilient because challenges and hardships in life are just part of their day to day existence. I love my home country hence I acquired dual citizenship. I invested organic farming in the Philippines to support employment and sustainable way of life. I intend to retire soon in both countries and explore tourism business to attract UK citizens to visit the Philippines and Filipinos to visit the UK. Good luck to you both and I wish you success. All the best!
Pretty cool guys! I love how you added “diversed landscapes” in your list! So true in your description, Philippines has everything except snow. I do remember though when I was little, maybe late 80’s or early ‘90’s when Baguio reached its lowest temp and news of flurries were reported. I don’t know how true it was, probably not, but at least it gets cold there like spring weather. ❤️ Love this episode!
Paul Cage I know I had lived in Belfast for 12 years and its 10C-21C during summer with some grey clouds every so often with cool breeze 🥶 😂 you need a hoodie just in case sun goes under the clouds.
@@johntee1614 It's early April. You go check the window and the sun is out. When you're outside it is freezing. After 10 minutes, it rained with sleet and windy. Few minutes after the sun shines again. I usually bring my raincoat in my bag even in summer 😂
Paul Cage 😂 mate I moved to Canada 2 years ago but I missed N.I. people and putting my body in City hall ground with books, crisps and Spring continental market. I know I will have a hoodie as grey clouds appears like how women behaves. 😂
Thanks George and Lucy! Highly appreciated your honest actual observations and personal experiences you have in our country. We’re happy as well to have you both here and making our country your home. More power and success to your juicy vlog! 👍😊🤗👏
That is one of the Top 10 stupid Myths Filipinos tell Cheesy foreigners they are trying to impress. Stop that ignorance. First of all, most Filipinos cant even afford Ham or Quezon de Bola for Xmas eve! Also you need to Educate yourself, 98% of Europeans will not be thrilled to know that you have Christmas in September, because that very, very, very Depressing! September and Christmas music is everywhere, Foreigners will really Hate that.

These things are really true. First time i arrived here in Canada i was really shocked. Its not the was as expected. I even asked myself what i was doing here. Hahaha. Well ive adjusted now.

Hi bb , jeses is not god
We've kind of done the opposite. Come from Australia to live in the UK. We really miss the big tropical thunderstorms from Australia/Asia, but we love the UK summer, with its really long days. The biggest thing we miss when we think of The Philippines is the people. The Filipino people were all so lovely when we were there a few years back. ❤️
Thanks for watching! It's cool to compare and find awesome things in different places! 🙌🏼 Want to visit Australia at some point too ☺️
@@TheJuicyVlog You guys are close enough! When Australia lifts its travel bans, you should definitely check it out. We're happy to give you tips if you want some!
Thank you po❤️
Yeah living in the Philippines is wonderful if you a cart full of money.
@@lsmith6378 well yes, almost everything is cheaper than from where you are, so if you have lots of money you could live like a king here.

I agree, Made me appreciate my Country even more
This is actually one of the reasons why I like to watch these kind of videos. I want to constantly remind myself how awesome my country is.
I'm living in Australia and I do miss the friendliness of the Filipinos as well as the many staff that assist you in stores. It's absolutely fantastic! ❤️
Sad that staff wage is like $200 a month here in the Philippines.
@@giggletravels Money don't grow on trees. You can have more people earning enough so they dont sleep on the streets and starve or you can have fewer people on jobs getting higher salary in exchange for more homeless on the streets. If they increase the min wage, either the company will pass the cost to consumers or let go of some of the staff. You're not supposed to make a career out of being a store clerk unless it's your own shop.
I’m from the U.K. and my partner is Filipino and I can’t wait to settle permanently in the Philippines, I’ll only miss the U.K. a little bit 😂
Hi George n Lucy as one of ex Dubai and a Filipino working in sales I can also proudly say that we are a big impack to the shop owners, and we even have a customer mystery shopper.

Nut awl
Come to Chennai in June. It's already 12pm md, it still feels hot. U can't sleep unless you turn on the A/C
My two Indian friend came there. They didn't even sweat walking in the streets of The Fort under the sun but when they are here. Both of them will be covered in sweat. If only people will learn to always be grateful of what they have rather than complain on what they don't have. There will be more happy people
I guess it's just you and your friends. I dont know anyone who'd say that, ang OA! Yes, it could be very hot, but havent u gotten used to it by now? You can face a fan, you can put ice in front of the fan, drink cold water, take a bath, etc....
YAWA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA TRUE HAHAHAHAAHA
about driving specifically in edsa, we always say to beginners(im not sure if everyone say this but a lot of people i know does including me), "if you can drive in edsa then you can drive anywhere around the world with ease." edsa is like a battle ground for drivers. XD
true 😂
Commonwealth may be its equal. Sparta of driving.
The downside is (from my observation), drivers from the Philippines are normally not used to following the rules of the road. It's more of, "whatever goes". That's why EDSA is like a battlefield. This poses a problem when everyone else around you expects you to behave a certain way on the road--like following your own lane or not changing lanes at an intersection.
I'm a Filipino, but for me, nothing beats Mumbai and Delhi (and Bangalore, while we're at it). We Filipinos use our side mirrors and not take over lanes if we see that we won't fit. In India, the fold their side mirrors, because they think it is an unnecessary car accessory. My Indian companion told me that I need three G's to be able to drive there and they are, A Good Break, A Good Horn (Busina) and a Good Luck
@@EdgarTeoxon no matter how bad edsa traffic gets, i just always have to think, "at least we're not India".
Yes there will be an IKEA shop soon. It'll be the largest in the world. 70,000 square feet if I'm not mistaken. Construction is currently ongoing right beside the Mall of Asia!
Yep, IKEA MOA will open 2021
Absolutely can't wait for their Swedish Meatballs! 😁
Actually, the shop floor will be the same size as everywhere else (which is still huge). What is not mentioned is that the extra estate space will host some 80% of the IKEA's worldwide Customer Support, and even some of the IT. That's tens of thousands more quality jobs for the Manilenos.
Building is already established.
@Pyrsonn Maulion There is a high chance some of the furniture will be sourced locally.
I am from the UK and I was there for 4 weeks from Dec 2019 - Jan 2020. I just cant wait to come back. My apartment is in Manila.
Philippines shopping mall makes the shopping malls in England look like a cupboard. You can get up to 4 malls within a square 2 miles, unlike England, you have to travel up to 2 hours from one to another. Enjoy it guys and hope to connect on my next visit. I totally agree with you on all points.
Ohh really it's 2hrs before you go to another mall in UK? But in Philippines there have 4 Big Malls just connecting to each other in Ayala, Makati City So you can can shop till you drop.anyway Metro Manila is filled with many Big Malls awesome.
Try climbing Mt. Pulag around the month of January to February the temperature could drop to 0 degree and if you are lucky enough you see the Sea Clouds which us breath taking. Love you both ❤️
True. We went there 2016 Decmber we were caught by a sudden storm in the middle of the night at our jump off point it was freezing. In the morning all the leaves of the crops were frozen laminated with ice.
@@rayjunsay2840 glad you guys enjoyed it. i'm a fat couch potato so it was a difficult climb for me but my girlfriend convinced me. and you'd think it would be my body that would've given up, but no. When we got to the peak, my girlfriend came down with the flu! Crazy.
I did enjoy the caves of Sagada though.
I can't help it. I shed a tear when you mentioned the lazy boy in movie theatres in Manila. With just P500, I evem have unlimited cola and pop corn there. I miss you, Manila.😘
I am a Filipina who migrated to the UK in middle age, and when I started living here I was so disheartened by the fact that you cannot just walk in a dentist’s clinic and have emergency tooth treatment. You needed to book and you can of course go private but it will cost you an arm and a leg. I needed a specialised root canal and it cost us 600 pounds! So whenever I go back to visit, I have all dental, eye and cosmetic treatments like facials, massages etc. which are pricey in the UK. Other than that I love the UK. I have dual citizenship. Thanks and more power. Will follow your vlog. Watching fr Hoddesdon, England.
Philippines is a lot better than the UK. I would like to live back there some day with my family
Darren Walsh shut up arrogant idiot ! You think you’re better? you can’t even afford a dentist in UK ! You have bad teeth! 😂
@Darren Walsh Lol, you just proved a point! Of course he wants to live in the Philippines where people are generally not rude like you.
In my opinion UK is a lot better to live there.. but if you are a retired person yes it's one if the best things ever
Its been a pleasure for us Filipinos that you enjoyed Philippines the fact that you moved in here. Certified fan here and of course a subscriber. Thank you so much. A warm welcome from us. Hope you have a great time here in Philippines. 👍👍👍
Unfortunately, we are very near the equator to snow. We wouldn’t have these amazing beaches if it snows in the PH. I wouldn’t trade beaches for snow, either. I guess we can’t have it all. 🤷🏻♂️
Baguio city sometimes have a snow
Snow is only fun for few days or weeks.After that you’re miserably cold and feels depressing.Very sedentary life style.Easy to get sick.
Israel has it all. ;)
i wouldn't trade sand for snow either...
@hazel gokotano Yes that's true... except the language barrier. Not so many Japanese talk in english.
I can see how genuinely in love you are with each other and with the Philippines.
Yes its true, Diverse Landscape, in fact in one Thailand vlog called WORLD 360 DEGREE, Philippines Series (please do watch 4 part series), since it is recognized as one of World Diverse Destinations, a Thailander working in the Philippines acknowledged that "VISITING ONLY THIS COUNTRY WILL MAKE YOU FEEL AS TRAVELED AROUND THE WORLD" as she explain the diversity of places in the country.
I've worked & lived in UK (Coventry, West Midlands). Mostly spot-on on what these 2 said in this episode.
Here are other things that are quite unique in UK:
1. Higher tax (salary-based). Other taxes such as TV tax, Road tax, & Council tax.
2. Free medical (unless you want private hospital, and if you are a tourist).
3. Disciplined drivers and their transport system is very good, but less public vehicles during Sundays & holidays.
4. Expensive car park fee.
5. Roundabouts (Rotunda in the Phils.) which can be confusing at first.
6. Beaches are cold (even during summer).
7. Malls close early specially in small cities/towns.
8. Brits' love of Fish & Chips, Football (soccer), tea, reality TV.
9. Brits call lunch "dinner" and dinner "tea" or supper.
10. They love asking "Are you alright?" no matter how many times you've bumped into each other in workplaces.
11. Different spellings of certain words, like paedia/pedia, colour/color. Words like loo (CR/toilet), ages ago, cab (taxi), push bike (bicycle), cheers (thank you), and many others.
12. They tell times differently: quarter past 2 (2:15), half-past six/half-six (6:30).
I might have forgotten something else, feel free to add. Cheers!!!
Yeah eventhough Bristish can be cold if you start smiling they will melt a Bit but not often .. 😅😅😅.Specially when .it's cold and raining
Had a bad experience a decade ago on a London street. Asked I think was a Londoner lady crossing my way, where is this or that place. Without even thinking and she continued to pass by, knowing I am an Asian, replied “I really got no clue.”
@@tenztaeza6067 You must have encountered a rarity. But I must say Londoners can be a bit snob as they're either busy or just don't care at all...
Not really mate. Every city you go anywhere in this planet, you'll encounter some unpleasant people and/or experiences. Just be thankful that you are able to travel...
In Ireland strangers all the time talk to person next to them , commenting about things what happening or talking something random. There’s lot of hi to strangers passing by too . Town and country sides. And it’s nice mostly
12. Relaxed day to day attitude. Less stressful here, less urgency, less panic. Things will get done here, Filipino Time, so no need to panic.
If you're living in the province, it's more laid back compared to the busy life in Metro Manila.
@@maraelaiza definitely. It seems like time is slower in the countryside than in Manila
This is so true. Dito sa Canada kahit ang liit na bagay pinapalaki nila, kaya daming students na nagsasabing “depressed” sila. 😪 sarap sapakin
@@cici_02lay70 haha naloka ako sa comments mo
Wow man, I learned a lot from you guys and I am a Filipino. I am glad that you are enjoying the culture, food, and the people of the Philippines. Stay safe and God bless you both!
We are humbled to have you both shared your opinions about our country. Thank you so much. Maraming salamat.
Two very different places and in many respects completely opposite ways of living. Nice to hear your comparisons and commentaries. I like both but definitely enjoy traveling in the Philippines more because of the weather and beaches 🙌💯☀️🏝
Through the years, you both have grown more beautiful. Hiyang talaga sa Philippines!
As a Filipino i am oftened amused when o see foreigners choosing to live here in Manila. I sometimes want to leave the Philippines because i just get so tired of our Goverment/politics, but this video made me see how blessed we are. You are going to create a great UK migration. Cheers! :)
and go where? Corruption is not a Philippines only problem. Money and Power corrupts people so that problem is pretty much everywhere you go. Even worse than the Philippines in some cases.
diskarte lang dito sa pinas para kumita
Being an expat, you are often unaware of the dark side of the Philippines.
As a Filipino living in the UK, there are things I love in the Philippines which are not in the UK and there are things I love in the UK which are not the Philippines. I just love both of these countries.
There will be an IKEA in the Philippines soon, Lucy! The good thing is you’re just near the location-it’s in Mall of Asia! 🤗
Aww...love your comments about the Phils! Thanks. Btw you both look chic in black and your hairstyle suits you George.
Haha speaking of service in UK, went to a shop in the airport, this lady at the counter i think probably practiced saying “no” not knowing they actually have the item that I’m looking for 😅
Wow!! Lovely! I just saw your vlog just now. First time subscriber. I’m here in the Uk living in Romford, Essex but a true bloodied Filipino. I envy you guys because you are enjoying life in our country but I am dreaming of going back home in few years time. I really really missed my home country Philippines. Thanks much for the nice comments or observations in my country. Glad that you really love living there. Enjoy your life there & take care🙏😘
In addition to what you mentioned is.. if you are in the supermarket you don’t have to carry your stuffs, somebody from the supermarket will help you put all the grocery items in the your shopping bag & will help you carry all your stuff to your car. While here in Uk “no one will help you”. You can leave everything in the customer service if you want to continue shopping without the hassle or burden of carrying your shoppings bags whilst going to one shop to another. That’s one of the things I missed back home.👍
I literally waited for this, thanks for obliging and I believe your comparison is fairly thought of.☝️✌🏻🤟❤🥰😍🇵🇭🙏
You guys faces never grew old, looks like you're really enjoying your time in the Phil. Have you noticed that even it's warm, your faces feel like moisturized? How cool is that!!!
Hi, guys good to hear that you enjoy Philippines too much, Im born Filipino but immigrate here in the UK , to work in the NHS, been here for 15yrs now as a british citizen, but I also applied for dual citizen in the Philippines, hoping some day that I will be able to go back to my home land to start a bussiness, your video is so uplifting for me as a Filipino British, keep up the good work guys God bless.
Much appreciated how you guy's appreciate our country. It shows how down to Earth and open minded you guys are in terms of learning and experiencing about our culture and our traditions.
Suggestion for No.10 you should visit
1) Tubbataha Reef if you love diving
2) Kaparkan Falls if you want to feel out of this world scenery.
Thank you to both of you for promoting our country..godbless you.
With this video... British explorers will explore and flock to Philippines and live their lives under the sun. Forget about the privilege and money. One life enjoy it at least we will all die with a smile in our face with halo halo on a 🏖. 😂10 more years you will see a diverse population. But we hope they will integrate and be more friends with LOCALS rather than co-European vloggers. Telling everybody Filipinos are nice and friendly but no genuine effort to integrate gives them a wrong message that you stay in Philippines for massive audiences and rack up TH-cam income. I know culture and language is way different but Pinoys integrates abroad so can you. No harm!
It's amazing that you're living in the Philippines and I'm Pilipino living in the snowy country Canada for decades since I was a kid. So glad though that you love living in the Philippines. Maybe someday soon I will come home and build a house and enjoy the sunny weather like you do. Well guys, take care of yourselves and stay safe traveling different places in the Philippines. Have fun. ❤🇵🇭🇬🇧
omg I can totally relate! im currently living in the UK right now and missing Phils to bits😭.. enjoyed watching this and agree to your lists! keep safe always there!
I live for how George say "But". It's very satisfying. I mean, the accent in general is purely therapeutic. It heals my soul.
I really learned a lot today from you both. Thank you. I've been away for four decades and just started visiting on a regular basis after my husband died.
Nice video! I'm happy you are enjoying your stay in the Philippines. - Proud Pinoy vlogger here!
Good thing if your a millionaire in other country and you move to Philippines you turn to a billionaire 😂😂😬❤
Hello pretty lady greetings
It's you're not your (i dont intend to offend anyone)
i am not rich in any way but I'm already a millionaire for when I visit my relatives in the philippines 🤷😂
yah... maybe.. (^_____^),,,""
About the topic.... I felt like the Philippines is leveling up and happy you shared such good feedback. Thank you.
Check out Uptown Mall at BGC- they have a four-step process before they let you in the mall: temp, hand sanitizer, mist, foot bath. They used a cubicle to implement the first three
Wow that is a great video, love 💔 it. I miss the Philippines so much. Massive thumbs up 👍 guys. More videos pls. Mabuhay
Maybe you can use instead the title “Difference between Living in the Philippines and the UK”. Thanks for the nice observations. Mabuhay!
This is more than a differences video, it's things we believe (in our opinion) that Philippines does better! Thanks for watching ☺️🙌🏼
@@TheJuicyVlog True!
It's their personal experience, let's just respect and be proud.
Just want to clarify myself, I do appreciate everything they mentioned about my country, I guess I just didn’t want them to sound offending to the other side. However, thank you so much for making me feel proud.😐
@@mariloumamenta5563 You're not familiar with British humor, they are very very offensive. Anyway, they're allowed to say what they want be it better in the Philippines or better in the UK as long as it checks out.
We wish you the best guys. It is the people of the Philippines that makes it all different - warm, hospitable, and speaks good y. English! Plus the food. Hope you enjoy your star. Thanks for all your videos. We enjoy watching them. Looking forward to more. Keep safe and keep travelling!
After seeing your contents. I fell in love with your honest reactions and immediately subscribed to your channel. You both looks so amazing..
Appreciation. This is the most fundamental happiness tool. Appreciation is the purest, strongest form of love. It is the outwardbound kind of love that asks for nothing and gives everything. Thank you for choosing the Philippines ❤️ I hope you guys enjoy your stay, always.
Indeed they are beautiful and happy British couple, stay safe and healthy.
I couldn't agree more with you regarding driving there, Lucy. You really do have to adopt a more flexible, relaxed and go-with-the-flow approach. The "chaos" actually becomes quite pleasant and enjoyable. And I noticed how relaxed drivers are there. Thanks for reminding me of the things to be grateful for about my country and heritage. Love the UK, too! I love the art and cultural diversity of London :-)
Yes there is a little bit of snow at Mt. Pulag (Benguet). Temperature there dropped to zero way back Feb of 2017
Watching your videos has been now a part of my daily routine. It made me feel a bit closer to my home country. Especially now that I can't visit the Philippnes due to the pandemic.
Thank you and God bless to the both you.
Upon viewing this vid for 1min. &20 secs I noticed that u both changed for the better. For me, George looked like a much younger Pierce Brosnan and Lucy I don't have any idea of which celebrity u look like now but ur definitely more beautiful than before the lockdown. Staying in ur apartment/condo unit for more than 60 days did make u both so good looking and healthier(thanks also to Lucy's everyday prepared healthy food and ur calisthenics/exercises). Congrats! 👍❤
I'm 100% English. I live near Newcastle and I hate it here. The people the racism the weather the mass amount of processed food. Good food is expensive and healthy food is generally more expensive too. The lack of things to do here too.
I've been to PH twice and cant wait to get back
Racism? No way!! The people there need to grow up
Thank you for loving & appreciating our country!-from Vancouver,Canada
After hearing the F.R.I.E.N.D.S. reference, I immediately clicked like.
Hahaha thank you!!
Rip Rosita
Love this video. I’m Filipino and I totally agree with a lot of your points!!! My comments are more of just the reasoning of certain things you pointed out.
4:01 Thats because they work off commission. So if the sales person is able to get you to the checkout, they get paid for that commission sale. And they are trained to know things about the products to be able to work in that store. Sometimes when you are just window shopping, it can get annoying though.
5:13 The cost of living here is much cheaper of course than UK so the cost of entertainment here is too. Also movie watching is always a thing here especially in the city. The cost of movies actually went up a lot already. Tickets used to only cost P200-250 a ticket before but now it can range from P300-500+ depending what mall you’re in and if you do the fancy Lazy Boy theater.
7:22 This is funny just because it applies to you guys because you are foreigners and clearly (sorry for labelling) white. But Filipinos don’t talk to other Filipinos randomly. LOL! That is SUPER WEIRD especially in the city. Although we are very hospitable and welcoming to foreigners though. I don’t know if it’s a colonial mentality thing but we just are.
9:03 The reason we have cash on delivery as well is because some Filipinos don’t even have a credit card. Some don’t even have bank account believe it or not. So cash is still a very relevant thing we still use compared to other countries.
10:00 OMG! How? Hahaha. I never got my license cuz I never want to drive in the Philippines
especially Manila. Traffic is just horrible. It takes me 2 hours to get to BGC from Manila (border Quezon City). The rules are not as strict but that’s why there are lots of bad drivers here. LOL!
13:28 Yes there is going to be an IKEA here. The opening date was supposed to be 2020 but with the whole pandemic, we’ll see.
13:47 OMG!! We have sooo many malls! and big ones too!
15:53 Probably only on really high mountain tops/peaks. The coldest the Philippines ever reached was around 6-7 degrees celsius
Great video! Sorry my comments were so long. LOL!!
In my province we treat non-residents as foreigners. :-)
@@avivbenavi That's nice. People in your province are probably friendlier. LOL! Technically they are still foreigners because they still hold a foreign passport. But also I'm talking more ethnicity-wise. Because it's very evident the aren't from here, people are more welcoming because we want them to enjoy our country. 😄 HOSPITABLE FILIPINOS FTW!
My mom is Malaysian and still holds her Malaysian passport but is a permanent resident for 30+ years already. People don't treat her differently from other Filipinos because we look similar as Southeast Asians. But that's just my observation.😊
@@emmaanna92 Point taken. Understood. (By the way what I meant by non-residents are non-residents of our town/province. They're still from the Philippines.) I think it has something to do with unfamiliarity or with the effort the other people exerted to visit our not-so important town. So people from Manila or people from the next province or people from 2 hours away are shown hospitality.
@@avivbenavi Oh! I see. That's so nice though! I feel talaga yun mga taga-province peeps are really friendlier than people in the big cities.
I'm here in London and you made me miss the Philippines even more😭
Thanks a lot guyz!! I love both the UK and The Philippines and look forward to visiting both countries again soon!
at the top of Mt. Pulag, and some of the surrounding towns there is frost every year.
Lovely observation .... Stay safe and healthy ... Philippines 🇵🇭 loves you ❤️
True if the weather is perfect in the Phils , I will consider that the place is indeed comparable to UK Im a Fil working here in Saudi
It’s great to see you guys voicing out the stuff you like about the Philippines despite the few obvious unfavourable concerns in the country.The UK has also been our second home & we love it as much as you have fallen in love with the Philippines
About the cinemas: true that snacks in UK cinemas are sooo overpriced and there's not as many choices - it's literally just sweet or salty popcorn. I miss the cheese, sour cream, barbecue, chocolate and so many different flavours of popcorn
All I can say is it is sooo true coming from a Filipino living in Europe for the last 7 years. In general the video sums up that everything is easy and laidback, if you have the ways and means, everything in the Philippines is way easier.
Please make a list of top 10/15 Beaches, places, island destinations you have visited in the Philippines! Stay safe!
Loving you and your videos guys! Really appreciate all the good things you say about the Philippines. Wishing you all the best and more power!!!!
It's kinda surprising to hear that driving in the phils is more laid back? Most foreigners i know say they get stressed easily here than in their country hahaha...
lots of brits complain how their traffic is soo bad..
My Korean friend told me, it's called "organized chaos" in Manila
Hindi kasi araw araw sila nag dri drive. Minsan lang ata palabas pa ng Manila and they usually drive sa provinces sa pinas. Pag foreigner ka and you work in makati at nag dri drive ka araw araw ma stress ka talaga pero pag monsan lang at palabas pa ng manila, mas maluwag talaga ang policy natin compare sa ibang bansa lalo at marami masunurin sa ibang bansa
@Rg volante I definitively agree with u 100 percent 🙂
Outside Manila or outside the city is more fun and relax
This is one of the best vlogs I have watched from you guys. God bless you both and the Filipinos will continue to embrace you and love you both.
Thanks for appreciating our country. I love PH but i always dream of living in UK,
I am obsessed of the culture and history, i watched documentaries related to Castles in UK, i read and watch everything about the Royal Family, i looove Princess Diana, i love watching movies based on Kings n Queens of UK, i love British singers, 1D, Ed Sheeran,Adele, i love British Actors n Actresses esp
EMILIA CLARKE 😍 and of course love love you guys ❤
That's a lot of Love
Hi guys , I’m a filipino but I moved here in the UK in 2003 . We lived in the cotswolds which is an amazing place for 5 years before settling in Bromsgrove. We have a house in Baguio , everytime we go home my daughter who was born here in the Uk don’t want to leave baguio, she hate warm weather so obviously anywhere outside baguio is hot” 😅Hopefully she can change her view as she grows as she is more a Brit than pinoy .&I’ll show her this video of yours. Thanks ,cheers 😀
Thank you guys, watching this , i appreciate more what we have here, like having great cinemas , shopping malls, etc. 😁
Christmas in Philippines starts in September and ends in January. Happy feeling ❤😁
Thanks for appreciating PH!i actually love this country too,but there’s just one thing I don’t really like I mean if I can trade it to other country I would love to experience cold season too...but other than that PH is where my ❤️ is.
George and Lucy...keep safe and love coming from a Filipino family in Calgary.
I AM FROM EDMONTON ❤️🐷🇯🇵
I was born in the Philippines but I live in Ontario, and I noticed the same thing that you guys did when it comes to store staff. Recently my family and I went back for vacation and as soon as I entered the SM department store to buy some clothes, I had about two or three of their workers come up and ask how they can help and what stuff I was looking for. One of them even walked with me throughout the whole store to help me locate each item. Needless to say, the shopping experience was smooth and the only trouble I had was choosing from the huge variety of styles. And I agree with you 100% about the size of the malls in the Philippines, they're huge! I swear you need like at least a full day or even more to fully get through all of MOA.
Philippines cinema are much cleaner and spacious, glad Edmonton, Canada are starting to change their seats into a recliners as well but the snacks are still expensive, love 💕 this vlogs and enjoying your reactions channels, good job guys and stay safe❤️
This is why I like watching you guys. I have been in the US for a very long time, you give me "updates" on "actually" living or current life and changes since I left the Philippines.
When I was in London last December people there are friendly, someone even explained to us how to use the tube since we got in to an incorrect one.
People are friendly, yes. Those rushing to get a tube train would even stop by to help me with my suitcase, etc. I think what they meant was that here, people just do their thing. When you enter a shop, some staff may greet you but will leave you to browse while they carry on with their job. In the Phils, you have staff that are doing the job that needs to be done, then you have people who will follow you around to make sure there’s someone there to help you. When you’re walking around in the UK, some people think it’s weird if you smile at them and they don’t know you. In the Phils, people will smile at you or even go the extra mile to say hi or something.
First time I went to the UK and my bf's mum cooked rice with curry. I panicked inside when she used the COLANDER to drain the rice!The worst rice I've tasted so far. I had to pretend I liked it though bec. I didn't wanna look rude. haha
We went to Manchester, England last year in December, and I wanted to go back home after 3 days because the weather is just horrible. I didn't see the sun for 2 weeks that we were there. I enjoyed shopping during Xmas though, bec. everything is so cheap. So yeah, next time am going there, I'll make sure it's summer.
Here in the province quezon you can rent
100$ for a month with free
Internet
Electricity
Water
And its not just a room. Its a house.
Thank you for always loving our country . We love you so much guys . ❤
Haha I feel like you're getting spoiled with the services here with it's convenience. But I can't blame you. Maybe it's because we're modernizing the way customer services business should be in the future years. Lucy referring to fb market as guerilla marketing, which is really really effective and convenient to customers. Nice content as always. ❤ this channel.
it's not surprising since Philippines has the best customer service in the world as of the 2010s.
thank you! that's why I love my Philippines! IT'S MORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES!
You forgot to mention about the festivities in the Philippines, the long x’mas season including new year...
Thank you very much for all the positive views about my beloved country. I totally agree with your opinion. I now reside in the UK with my family. We are very fortunate to be UK citizens and there are things that you can’t compare a first world country to a developing country such as education, healthcare system, infrastructure, public transport, pollution, environment, political system , quality of life, etc. You are absolutely right when you mentioned about the warm and happy-go-lucky mentality of Filipinos. They are resilient because challenges and hardships in life are just part of their day to day existence. I love my home country hence I acquired dual citizenship. I invested organic farming in the Philippines to support employment and sustainable way of life. I intend to retire soon in both countries and explore tourism business to attract UK citizens to visit the Philippines and Filipinos to visit the UK. Good luck to you both and I wish you success. All the best!
We totally appreciate you guys! In fact, Filipinos truly put high regards to you guys in general!
Thats True. Philippines is amazing country
Pretty cool guys! I love how you added “diversed landscapes” in your list! So true in your description, Philippines has everything except snow. I do remember though when I was little, maybe late 80’s or early ‘90’s when Baguio reached its lowest temp and news of flurries were reported. I don’t know how true it was, probably not, but at least it gets cold there like spring weather. ❤️ Love this episode!
I was surprised you liked the weather here?! People without ac like me are suffering
The Uk doesnt get as much sun
@@Tiffneyyyy People in the Philippines are dying of heat stroke , basically the opposite of the UK 😂
@@johni_cuh Thats overacting. I love more the weather in the Philippines than the other cold contries. You're just being curious in snow.
I appreciated how lovely our weather is in philippines when i moved to ireland ((we get the same weather w/ UK))
@@angeloanzures1974 well maybe because you guys dont live in a very small crowded tight place, you wouldnt understand ~_~
I think this just goes to show how much I take for granted sometimes. Truly appreciate this vlog as a fellow Filipino, I love my country!
Of course, the weather 😄 I used to travel to UK, my friends and I would joke about UK’s 4 days of summer 😬✌🏼
And to the neigbouring Irish nation that has 4 seasons in 1 hour 😂
Paul Cage I know I had lived in Belfast for 12 years and its 10C-21C during summer with some grey clouds every so often with cool breeze 🥶 😂 you need a hoodie just in case sun goes under the clouds.
@@johntee1614 It's early April. You go check the window and the sun is out. When you're outside it is freezing. After 10 minutes, it rained with sleet and windy. Few minutes after the sun shines again. I usually bring my raincoat in my bag even in summer 😂
Paul Cage 😂 mate I moved to Canada 2 years ago but I missed N.I. people and putting my body in City hall ground with books, crisps and Spring continental market. I know I will have a hoodie as grey clouds appears like how women behaves. 😂
@@johntee1614 Irish are good craic! Stay safe 😉 Hope you enjoy fish and chips soon 😊
Thanks George and Lucy! Highly appreciated your honest actual observations and personal experiences you have in our country. We’re happy as well to have you both here and making our country your home. More power and success to your juicy vlog! 👍😊🤗👏
You forgot #12 - long period of Christmas celebration😂😂😂
That is one of the Top 10 stupid Myths Filipinos tell Cheesy foreigners they are trying to impress. Stop that ignorance. First of all, most Filipinos cant even afford Ham or Quezon de Bola for Xmas eve! Also you need to Educate yourself, 98% of Europeans will not be thrilled to know that you have Christmas in September, because that very, very, very Depressing! September and Christmas music is everywhere, Foreigners will really Hate that.
