Have you ever thought of starting a new life in another country? 🤔 If you have already moved to another country, have you experienced any culture shocks as well?
The biggest culture shock I had was not the ability to speak English but the ability to communicate and relate. (What is this thing they call football throwing and running with an oblong shaped ball?).
Going to highschool in North Hollywood helped out a lot and allowed me to have an identity and assimilate.
The big cultural issue right now here in the Black vs White polarized America is where does the Filipino's fit in? The answer is both and not at all at the same time.
@Kambing101 I am curious why would you leave the US?
I can see that the next American Dream is to make money in the US and live somewhere else with the rising cost of healthcare, education and housing.
We all have to take care of our micro first before we concern ourselves with the macro, I think. So, now one should pin you to having to do with improving your home country...
@Kambing101 in looking at our situation here, The US is 28th in the Social Progress Index and dropping. 19th in 2011.
As far as I see, rising cost of education, housing, and healthcare is the issue because it directly impacts economic mobility.
That is one of the reason why a guy like Andrew Yang is advocating for Universal Basic Income (UBI).
Improving out nutrition, safety, freedoms, the environment , health, education and more is what UBI can do for each individual.
It's hard to think about Macro problem when we have micro issue prohibiting US.
I should not be worrying about the national deficit when I can't even put.food.on the table.
If capitalism is the American way, then it's government should incentivize you to stay. If the country is decreasing it's quality then capitalism will say, move to another country that will give a better ROI.
I am on the way to go back to the Philippines. I feel that I can more over there with the little resources I have gotten and going to get here in the US.
Bilang isang Amerikanong puti na may pusong Pinoy, masasabi ko na sa dami ng mga Pinoy na nakilala Di talaga nila inakala na mahirap din pala sa US. Panay sa Trabaho. Sobrang gastos. Pero magaganda nga ang mga bagay…Kaso lang yon soooobrang mahal. But again Sobrang daming opportunities kung compared sa Pilipinas.
@Puting Pinoy Lots of Filipino people don't know the true beauty of the Philippines. We are so rich in diversity and history. What really makes Philippines unique or different to other countries is the values and behavior of Filipino people -- the being hospitable, friendly, family-oriented, warm, down-to-earth, hard working, compassionate, caring, and so on and so forth (majority of them). I also would like to include the diverse culture, such as festivals, folk dances, Filipino values like the word 'po/opo' or 'pagmamano' as a sign of respect. If there's after life, nothing I could've ever wished for but to be a Filipino again, despite of how bad the governance here. We've also got awe-inspiring landscapes and stunning sceneries.
@Puting Pinoy Oh, and I've always been watching your vlogs, and I am a huge fan of you since the beginning. Thank you for loving the Philippines 🖤. Ingat! Maraming salamat.
bro your tagalog skills is insane
@@VishaKim salamat ☺️
Thank you for this opportunity! It’s so nice to know that there are newbie’s like me here in america who share the same sentiments like I do. I hope you guys enjoy this video! Learned lots of things in this vid!
I’m sorry if I look/sound so sad. All the feels came back. Haha. Thank you El!
That guy from Atlanta and the one at Alabama most especially that girl in Manhattan Kansas kudos to you guys for surviving there. Living in MIDWEST is not the same as living in West or East coast totally different mindset and tougher to survive.
I love the honesty and rawness of the video. The struggle is real.
I’m belong to the group of people here in Philippines thats wasn’t like to live in another country even how safe it is, how good the economy, the weather condition, job offers.. those stuff can’t compare my comfortness here in Philippines especially the people even it is toxic at times.. You know I even think what if there’s a conflict between the countries in the future..(its not impossible)its a hard situation for migrated people..
I moved in the US since 1997 I am still fell outsiders in the US 😂I still love Philippines ❤️❤️❤️
Pareho kami nang experience ni Jude Yap. I went to the US 3 months short of graduation with no plan what to do in the US after going through looking for college opportunities in the Philippines. We left PI very abruptly.
Going to highschool here in the US was the best thing that happened. It allowed me to breath culturally and lean over an identity I can proud and face the world.
Going to the Army was more of an escape to independence as much as having an economic upward mobility. Going to college became unpopular to me especially when I may have to ask my financially struggling parents for partial support. So the Army became the way.
Would I want to have stayed in the Philippines when I was younger knowing what I know now? Most definitely!
From your brother in arms, thank you for your service.
@@psalm.23.mocha. Thank you for what you do...
I’m from Philippines and now I live in NYC.
Last 2021 ng mapunta ako sa US,dinala ako ng mister ko.Feeling ko nasa pilipinas lang ako kasi yung location ko parang manila lang.Una,Medyo nanibago ako nung mag work na ako,hindi ko nagamit ang kurso ko na pinag aralan ko sa pinas.Pangalawa mahirap magkaroon ng friend kasi lahat ng kilala ko na pinay ay mga busy dahil sa trabaho.Pangatlo nanibago ako sa klima kasi sobrang lamig ng winter dito at nag snow din.Mas masarap pa din sa pilipinas kasama ko mga parents at mga kamag anak ko,pag okasyon sama sama kami.Dito christmas at new year ay ordinaryong araw lang sa kanila.Iba talaga sa pinas.I miss you mahal kong pilipinas
Kudos to young Pinoys venturing out in new directions in the US. Best of luck to each one, live long and prosper!!
Pumasok lang sa isip ko na magkaroon ng panibagong buhay sa ibang bansa once na may pamilya akong nasa ibang bansa na, pero ngayon, hindi ko maisip na iiwan ko ang Pilipinas lalo na I'm taking a course na magse-serve para sa bayan ko hehe.
Good for you! I promise you life abroad is overrated.
Such a great content. I love how everyone opened up about their struggles in starting their their life, especially Jude and Paulo. Jude was all on point and parents should listen to what he said about moving to a new place. My God, I couldn't agree more. Paulo is well-spoken. He's being rational and deep.
"Fun" Living in the Philippines is really relative. If you are well off and privileged you will be able to live in a bubble where everything "seems" fine. But after the pandemic it made me realized how poor governance affects its people. While most of the countries are already "normal" we are just starting to get back up after of almost 2 years of being cooped up.
Most of those countries that were back to "normal" are back to lockdowns again, it's pretty much a facade. Asian countries are doing better.
Pakampante kaya yung mga ibang bansa sa west kaya patuloy na nag-kakaroon yung covid ng another variant... Kaya mas ok ang mga asian country sa paghandle ng covid situation
I hope you guys not only focus your attention in metro manila, yes metro manila is worst, but metro manila is not only the place in Philippines we a lot of beautiful places to live in, but I know Philippines can't offer big bucks to you unlike in the USA.
They'reseeking greener pasture in the us. Kasi mas malaki ang kita dun at oo so many opportunities there. Mas masarap pa rin tumira sa sariling bayan.
Personally, I felt bad for Filipinos who moved to the US at relatively younger age (maybe 30 years and below, by choice or by necessity). It so fun in the Philippines, the adventures, friends, family, community, culture, the whole experience, regardless of your economic status, its amazing. Obviously, you’re going to missed all that. For me, USA is all about convenience and making money.
Dont feel bad for me honey. I moved to u.s when I was 10, I own multiple homes, luxury vehicles, lots of fine jewelry. I can take vacations anywhere . God bless America, thank you for the opportunities. .
@@ronlegaspi8590 , I don't think all this is realistic in a really bad global economy. Homes are going into foreclosure because Airbnb and rentals are being adversely affected in negative ways. Nobody in the U.S. wears fine jewelry too! What you described isn't the U.S. of today but, the dreams of the past.
@@mrvgstyle2442Nope, Its reality for people who work hard and study hard. Nothing comes free honey and no one gave me a dime, I paid for my education and bought my things on my own money...You dont have to wear fine jewelry. You can be a collector of fine jewely without wearing one.....do you want to borrow few of my pieces? I had one of the best times with my childhood in the Philippines, happy times with family. I was always with family and relatives but when I got to the U.S. my family had to start over from scratch.
@@mrvgstyle2442 Its reality for a lot of immigrants, they understand the difficulties with starting a new life. My parents did not have it easy when we moved to the U.S so growing up we really did not have anything. Just like my cousins who all moved here when they were kids, they are now professionals with good paying jobs. Again god bless America
@@ronlegaspi8590God bless America? I hope youre wishing the besr for the Philippines too. After all, balik-baliktarin man ang mundo, magtumbling ka man, Pinoy ka pa rin.

I’m from Leyte in tacloban area I left Philippines when I was 12, moved to Italy 🇮🇹 then my mother remarried so we end up moving to Florida at age 16. So I been living here in Florida for 30 plus years, bought a house, got married to an American man, I have 3 children so Florida is my home. But Philippines will always be my motherland so I am planning to retire there. My life here in the US is okay more like a middle class but when I do move to Philippines I will be more comfortable there since the dollars stretches further there. Unlike here in the US you pay so much a month especially when the inflation and prices going up with everything else. Even if the prices are going up in the Philippines I know my life there will be more comfortable and I’m more richer there too lol. It’s only right to retire in the Philippines since it is my motherland after all. But yeah here in the states it’s so different they don’t say sir or ma’am to your bosses we call them by their first name lol. I’m so used to it since I been living here almost all my life. I will only go back and forth here in the US to the Philippines since my kids are half American so I will be visiting my adult kids and grandkids in the future. Thankfully I did pretty good for myself having a good job, my own home,being married,my mom and my twin sister are here and friends as well here in the US. I can’t wait to go back to the Philippines though but I am visiting Philippines next year. 🇵🇭 my culture shock when I first moved in the Italy and to the US was when they don’t take off their shoes when coming inside their homes 😆
No disrespect, but why do Filipinas always marry white men? I genuinely do not mean to offend you. I just wonder why it is not more common for Filipinas to marry their own men or even men from other Asian races. Filipinas are the only Asian women I have noticed this with.
From Flowers🌻🙏🏾
Favorite here is the Aerospace Engineering student. She's quite mature for her young age. But yes, I also have a Toto portable washlet. 🤣 Well, she can continue studying and she just might get hired here if she's really good. Guy with a boyfriend (the Alabama one? ) also shows a lot of maturity in his views.
In my case, the culture shock was the need for credit. When I first immigrated legally, in 1991, I did it on my own (neither parents nor sibling brought me here). When I got my job, I had to live in motel rooms because I just could not rent any apartment, since I had no credit. It took six months before I could rent a studio apartment. Even then, I had no furniture. My "bed" was the carpeted floor, my "pillow" an aerobic step. I was able to buy a foldable futon mattress that doubled as a floor couch, a small TV to watch, a blanket. There was a small fridge and a hotplate in the apartment.
As to going back to the Philippines, I feel safer here in the USA. I am by myself (son is in NYC and doing well) and I feel more at home here. I never felt like I belonged in the Philippines, and nobody thought I was Filipina because of the way I spoke English (even got mocked on the phone for it). My mother always thought I belonged more in the USA and she was right (problem is , I was conceived in Baltimore, MD but born in Manila, Philippines). I don't go with the Filipino community since I easily assimilate into American society. I live in a small town in the East Coast, so I am happy with the peace and quiet I have. The young ones say they won't go back. Their minds could change once they reach retirement age.
Oh, another reason I immigrated? Things came too easily to me in the Philippines. I wanted to make it the hard way and yes, it was hard to make it here!!! I have been here for more than thirty years already, so now I can relax, live in peace.
Same here. I was born and raised in Philippines until my parents brought me here in the US when I was 12. I didn't have a 'fun' life but we were already rich and I don't have that much friends. I always had high ambitions, loved and excelled in STEM subjects and never kept up with showbiz or teleseryes. My parents are multiple business owners and they prefer the business climate here. I assimilate better to the American culture and like you we are not in cohorts with the Filipino Community (crab mentality, jealousy, gossiping Maritess, etc.). America is my home now and I don't intend to go back.
Dito sa columbia south carolina 5 years ka na homesick pa din wala kasing gaano pinoy dito kung mura lang sana sa state na maraming pinoy ok sana lumipat pinaka mahirap yun panay temitez kasama mo sa trabaho .
After moving here in the states of California at the age of 15 back in 1989 and saw all different kinds of girls, I said to myself am sure am going to like it here, but after experiencing lots of those girls, i came to conclusions my heart still belongs to Filipina and I married one hehehehe.
That girl studying aerospace engineering wow..idol madam
so filipino fan‼️
This was interesting...but I have a genuine question. Where is the patriotism and staying behind to contribute to the growth of the country? Filipinos have suffered a lot from foreign invasions and there are a lot that live in the U.S. Filipinos should not forget how the U.S. has treated them either during Philippine-American war. It just kind of depresses me to see people abandon their country instead of contributing to their own economy. However, I do understand that the struggle is real there. Plus, dealing with typhoons, etc. I just think ..the grass is not always greener on the other side as a fellow Asian who lives in the West. A lot of Asians in the West would prefer to live in Asia. Also, the sense of community and the warmth in the Philippines is completely unmatched. So many loving, affectionate people. I cannot fathom why anyone would leave.
im with you, Elizabeth. Its kinda disappointing to hear most of them not wishing to go back anymore and just visit for vacation. so i guess pag nakatikim na ng first world, you won't even think of going back to the simple life you were living before and you begin to compare, complain and realize how bad it is in your home country. And that's sad.
1:47 I feel like i recognize her from somewhere , she looks oddly familiar. She said in the video that they were from Bicol, and i also live there (up until now) but idk tbh its probably just nothing ;-;
I moved here to the US in 2017 and my big struggle here is the loneliness. Iba talaga ung friends and family na nasa pinas. Still havent made any significant or magaan loob na friendship didto. The price to pay for Economic Opportunity
Aww, I am sorry you feel that way. The U.S. can be a VERY lonely place! Especially for Filipinos who are so used to every day social gatherings with family, at the market, the mega malls back in PH.
I can relate. I cant exactly name the feeling resulting from a deep sense of isolation. Here in the US I can get myself easily preoccupied with work, trips, entertainment, gatherings, etc...but the feeling of just half-belonging is something else. I could have never anticipated this. All this to say ...i miss home...bad..😢😢😢
Same me move to states
💖🎄💖🎄💖🎄
Sana Nag Tagalog din sila.. para sa Pinoy naman yung mensahe. Then subtitle na lang sa gusto ng English.
Looks like usa helps filipinos to get a job in usa. They hire filipino teachers for high school
first
Still better to live in america. Than Philippines. Especially kahit HS lang natapos mo meron kang trabaho. Dito sa pilipinas ang tataas ng standard. Ni ultimo pag grooming ng aso kailangan pa ng bachelor degree. Nakukuha nMn sa training. Even sa mga flight attendant kahit HS ka lang okay na as long marunong kang makipag communicate. Pilipinas need mo pang maging maganda or matangkad para maging flight attendant 😂 kaya mas worth it sa US. Kaysa sa pilipinas
How will PH ever improve if people just leave all the time? Look at Japan...U S. Bombed the hell out of it...most Japanese people did not leave..they worked hard ....and Japan literally rose up out of the ashes and rubble to become one of the world-leading economies. Philippines can do it too!!!
I felt poor hearing the journey of six Filipinos. A couple of you guys have yaya's and are "sheltered" back home in the Philippines. Anyway, we got different life stories. I guess you guys are rich lol.
i think if possible, more Filipinos would take a chance to move to the US. But yeah, it's nearly impossible for the average Filipino to have that oppurtunity. Most Filipinos I know wouldn't be able to even visit the US because of money and documentation. The ones that said they had no choice but to go, made it sound it was that easy to get up and leave PH for the US.
I know of a lot of middle-class Filipinos who have chosen to remain in the Philippines. It really is a special place!
Mindanaoans who moved to the usa shouldve been in this video too
