Philippines is an all around country they can adopt to anything. It's a free couintry thats the beauty of Philippines. Their culture and rules is more welcome to foreigners compare to other sea countries that is strict on their culture and religion.
Yes, it started when the Philippines was colonized by America after the Spain. Our language are written in English alphabet and in the school we have English subjects from nursery up to college. All books are written in English language.

Honestly, professionals/college graduates Filipina would rather look for Filipinos of their age. Those Filipina looking for Foreigners are mostly those who didn't finish school and take the responsibility of bringing a good life to their family. But a career woman Filipina would rather do it their way to earn for their families.
i agree with the first guy. hoping this country will continue to revitalize, progress and going clean especially the rivers. could you please continue to ask foreigner and local filipino about that ph is westernized now so some filipinos will realize how important to have an identity.
While its true that the philippines have to improve its sanitation, americans saying it makes me cringe… why? I just moved to the US 3 months ago and got dismayed with their public restrooms! Twice at Walmart i saw toilet bowl with poops and my first visit to the hospital was also a disappointment… even the toilet was unclean considering it is a hospital..
Yes coz your perfect person better to go back in your country, Your belong to the perfect and paradise country like your own country, here are belong only to the foreigners not perfect like in our country and people are not perfect 💯
@@Once800- Foreigners ARE saying disrespectful things with harsh criticism when in the Philippines. No one is making them (or telling them) to go back where they came from.
Well speaking of sanitation, Pilipinos wash their asses clean with soap and water unlike foreigners who just wipe their assess with paper and still stinks. Very primitive. 😁😆🤪
Great video. Seems like westernization does happen inevitably, however there is only so much that any culture will allow. The Core Filipino culture will always be there 👍
I HOPE so bcz what going on with the bargirls in Thailand has lost control... seeing foreigners as money banks and sending young girls into Prostitution i hope filipinos will always stay strong to their catholic ways and more of them only have intercourse after marriage. As it was 100 years ago in the West.
Not by a long shot is this place westernized. They have a well entrenched culture in the Philippines and they seem very proud to continue going their own way. I saw that in process while in the Philippines and I’m glad to assimilate to it. I wouldn’t ever try to change that.
the truth is not all Filipino are into Foreigner, specially those have a career of their own. That is why most likely is rare for Filipina who are already rich to be in relationship with foreigner. Most foreigner usually have a middle class but most likely Filipina woman who are less fortunate will be more practical in getting to a relationship with foreigners! to have a better life with them and maybe lift up their life of living with rich foreigners. that's the fact! That is why if foreigners like to be respected here in the Philippines, behave and show some respect the way of life here, boastful will lead you in trouble. You can enjoy life in the Philippines as a foreigner if and only you can adapt the way of life here. But if not then, it means this place is not for you. The Philippines will always be Philippines whether you like it or not.
@@jessicacalamba8581 whatever! , your entitled to your own thoughts or opinion! but based on survey and observation its likely my statement stands out than your opinion. preference is of course another thing. everybody have their own preference no doubt about that!
On the surface, it is westernised or American like, but below and mostly it is hard core Asian. Don't expect things to be handled some "american way." I've spent almost one year in total in the Philippines.
Filipinos are very flexible.. like the Filipinos in the province when they came to Manila they will act like westernised individuals but when they go back to their province everything's back to normal
There is poverty everywhere in the world but it is not as bad as in Bangladesh, India or some countries is Africa.....Manila is probably the only where you can find aircons in some houses in the slum areas

Over 34 Billion dollars are sent in 🇵🇭during CoViD 19 , according to PresidentBBMarcos …..excluding all the BB 📦 that costs most of us $500 to over $1000 dollars .. I hope that UMAC and other Companies that deal with these add up all 💰 so we can see how multi billion dollars Boxes 📦 we sent and still sending….
As a filipina,I must say Metro Manila is westernized but outside Metro Manila,you can see that mostly has their own culture and tradition.The Philippines have more than 170 languages and 100+ of ethnic groups it's impossible for the country to lose their own heritage and culture.Western influenced is there but our asian/filipino traits and values is still there and can't be erased by western influence or by modernizations.
Filipino food like fried are unhealthy. Many foreigners I met here in the US they tell me it’s not good at all . Some are good if not fried. I go to some filipino place all you see is fried all lined up,
we call it this western hue "colonial mentality". believer it or not, it was way worse in the 1980's. but after the people power edsa revolution of 1986, the pinoy psyche began to change in my observation. i think the seminal era of renewed patriotism would have to be in the 1990s when local music artists exploded w/ patriotic themed fervor. that really opened the eyes of the youth of that decade w/c today are now in the age of influence. nowadays, i think pinoys are just open minded to western ideas but are definitely proud of their Filipino heritage.
Why is it that most of your interview focus on dating Philippine women? I think its demeaning and influence men traveling to the country for sex. Most western men travel for finding traditional relationship since that type of women is non existent in the west anymore.
Because 99%+ of men who come to the Philippines are single. Because inbox is filled with dating questions. Also, who said anything about sex? Have you watched my videos? It's all about promoting the Philippines wome as "traditional" and wife material. So why are you so pressed for no reason? Lastly, aren't you the one highlighting teenage girls in their bikinis in on your youtube channel?
I'm really disappointed with Tony, he seems like a good guy with a lot of potential but he seems a bit down, so if he's got a friend in the Philipines he could've stayed, hung out with his freind, maybe met a nice young lady. Texas is a hell of long flight so if he's all the way over there he'd might as well try to enjoy it cause there are a lot of depressed people in the US who would dream of having a chance to expereince the Philipines.
Phillipines culture is very interesting, external cultures have always influenced it in different ways. The proliferation of social media seems like young Filipinos have so many options and Korean, Japanese are also very popular too. Gaming culture also seems edgey here but hiphop isn't really a thing. That's my thoughts
PH is fine being westernized. It was influenced by Spain and the US after all. It's also not as exotic in terms of culture compared to Thailand, China and India. A lot of expats chose PH over Thailand for this reason as PH feels like a home away from their home in the west. Thailand and other SEA countries have far more visitors than PH but when it comes to foreign emigrants, the difference between them are not as big.
Thailand has no worries about being "westernized". Most Thais do not speak English and their culture is drastically different from anything we know in the West.
There is no strong culture in the Philippines. Just like the United States, it’s a mixture of many ethnic group with influence of Chinese, Malaysian, middle eastern, Indian, European, American and Spanish. Filipinos are also Hispanic, Asian or Pacific Islander.
Come on. Let's not sugar coat things too much. The Philippines has beauty and good people, but most Filipinos I met were really having a tough time fighting against poverty. Also I think most guys go there to date ladies. These guys weren't really being honest.
No I do not think is is very westernized. I am not sure what westernization really is. The culture is still pretty much their own, do they like some western things yes but I do not see the corruption that you get in the west. The philippines needs better internet, transportation, animal control, and services to clean up a bit. Also some of the corruption needs to go there and poverty needs to be addressed.
You do not know me and this is the internet everyone is free to have an opinion. BTW I lived there and many Filipinos agree and have even brought such subject.
The guy in blue was right ,back then in asia in the 60's 70's and late 80's ,japan is the best country second is the philippines, its after the people power edsa revolution is where everything came into corruption and we become the bottom is asia ,back then 1peso is to 1dollar
Check your history again! PH economy is already going down 3 or 4 years prior to that! Marcos not giving up power has cost Filipinos a lot! If he did and the transition is better, the succeeding president could have fixed the economy.

Do you think the Philippines is westernized?
Yes, more on its American influence in everyday lifestyle with a Spanish legacy on its cultural background...
Nah

The Philippines had been westernized a long time ago. It's not new. Amazingly, the Pilipinos kept their culture and heritage.
The Filipinos have a slave mentality….not just the foreigners influenced.

Yes the Americans fought Japanese over the island. They brought culture with them.

And they normally were rejected by their own men, single mom’s its always a reason they seek out foreigners

I beg to disagree. Not all Filipinos are into foreigners because of the social status , it’s just a matter of individual preferences.

It is very rare for a middle-class or upper-class Filipina to choose a foreign partner.
translated that means stand like a zombie in line at the supermarket...
