Why my heart melts when George said "the service industry WE HAVE here". The way he said WE HAVE, he can say THEY HAVE, it feels like he is a true Filipino. Awwww. I love you both, thank you for this. ❤❤❤
Thanks george and lucy for loving our country and your vlog has promoted much the philippines. It is very much appreciated. Happy new year to the two of you.
SERVUCE INDUSTRY STAFF IN PHILIPPINES THE BEST -- GIVE THEM GOOD TIP WHEN THEY SERVICE WAITER YOUR FOODS AND DRINKS AND LAUNDRY AND DRIVE....!!!!!!!!!!!
Filipino food has such a broad base underneath it, with native, Chinese, Spanish and American influences that there is going to be a wide variety of dishes that appeal to people. It certainly is a paradise for those who love fresh and varied seafood. I've been eating it for 47 years now, and can say that if you can't easily find at least a dozen dishes that you'll fall in love with then you have a heart that is already hardened and a mind that is impossible to open.
thank God there are open-minded people like you that appreciate things that are real. i live in Ireland and i know people who have never traveled anywhere and just believe what they heard from one and generalize things.
Maybe they were misguided by wrong gosstp but realistically there are many middle families lived in this country so most of food we can buy was affordable only for our buget so many restaurant here offered not so expensive menus of food unlike in your country even the poor can taste a variwty of food that also eaten by the rich
Agree! I have been to Philippines several times and was supposed to go to Cebu last Oct but had to cancel due to the pandemic. Im starting a business in Philippines and am looking forward to head there hopefully soon
Whenever,whereever there is good there is bad..Don't be hipocrite. Let's be honest and concrete...🙏🙏🙏MAY OUR "LORD ALMIGHTY GOD"BLESS US ALWAYS" .🤗"PEACE"!
I live here in Vienna, Austria and my Austrian colleague thought that the Philippines is just pure jungles and unpaved roads. he was surprised when I told him we have 60-floor modern buildings and our roads have more lanes than in Austria
tell your colleague to watch their Austrian fellowmen Mike and Nelly of Making it Happen Vlog who happens to live in Manila and they would be surely surprised
Indeed..i love Mike & Nelly as well and yes infact..they are good friends of George & Lucy..Love these four Vloggers together who happened to love with my home Native Land Philippines🇵🇭🇨🇦
@@yamashitatreasures hm let's check worldwide which food is more famous? I'm from Germany and honesty not the biggest fan of your cousine here. Compared to the rest of asia it's very blunt, fatty and oily. If i cook filipino i change up some things and add more flavors, then it's actually good. Everyone have different taste and my gf actually loves german food ;)
Because they’re there to live (and earn) as foreigners. Everyday Filipinos don’t treat the country they live in as Disneyland (compared to the ones who are just there to visit and earn money through vlogging).
Most of us are like tourists in our country. Going around needs the financial capability and many of us are not equipped with that so we just content ourselves with seeing the beauty of our country through the vlogs that we watch.
The misconceptions mentioned are really common among people not so familiar with our country and culture. And i give u credit for explaining things from your own experience and perspective. I can feel you really love the Philippines and that's what makes me more love u guys.. U and Making It Happen are my favorites!!!! ❤️ Pogi and Maganda!!!! ❤️ 😍 Happy new year!
@@alowishusabercrombie8318 why don't u ask them personally. Is it a problem to u that they have gained more followers now? I am a fan and a follower. Do u have a problem with them? Plllleeeeezzzzz!!!
@@alowishusabercrombie8318 u know what, if u don't like them, u are free to leave this comment section. Once and for all, I will not answer any fool for that matter. So, good bye to u. Their personal decisions in life does not include u and no matter how much negativity u have towards them, it will not affect them one bit. So my final advice: GET A LIFE!!!! 😜
What make this legit is the Fact they they have been to almost everywhere in the Philippines than most Filipinos Can be in short "Lakwatsero sila" and they have the first hand experience. So I agree with all what they said in this Video.
As a Filipino , we would like to thank you guys, your vlogs show the other side of the Philippines mainstream media does not show, again maraming salamat po. Your vlogs help the less fortunate because it helps our tourism industry and the money these tourist pays on the stores, the tricycle driver, the hotel staff really helps a lot.
That's why I love George & Lucy ❤ Thank you for giving good and nice feedback about the Philippines and showing to the world the beauty of our country thru their vlogs 😍
A perfect business for George and Lucy is to open up Travel Planners exclusively for British foreigners. To handle their vacation itineraries. They know where and how to book hotels and perfect destinations here in PH.
"Don't underestimate Manila. Manila is awesome!" Thank you so much, Lucy and George. I'm from Manila now living in Canada and I miss my hometown. Take care.
Being a Filipino living in a foreign country, I agree to all things you've said...Heres hoping, that this video will help to lessen the misconceptions towards my beloved Country. A Huge Thank You, George&Lucy
George and Lucy you have more appreciation for the Philippines than some of the Filipinos I know. You got everything right in your vlog. In fact, watching your vlogs makes miss the Philippines more.❤
I live in the Philippines for 7 years now and I was really amazed with many things in this country. It really depends on where you live. My rent varies depends on my location for example. I paid 3000 k for house 1 story 2 bedrooms w/parking lot in cedar 1 in carmona cavite, also 18k in carmona cavite but this time was in Carmona Estate 2 story house 4 bedrooms with huge parking lot and washing area. In Metro area in varies, I paid 25k with DMCI The Red Woods, also 11k in DMCI Palm Groove. Security are amazing in Metro Area, I love the shut gun that the security guards hold all the time, makes you feel your family are safe. Yet, life is more secure in province and I mean by this, Carmona Cavite, even though technically its not a province but its not a part of Metro Manila either. What I hate is most of the properties are too expensive on average salary of Filipino Citizens. I feel like foreigners get the chance to explore luxury life than Filipinos in the Philippines. I see job post pays Foreigners higher than Filipinos even though both can do the same job, Example: A company looking for Spanish speaker, they hire foreigner for 100 k when they pay a Filipino who work hard on Spanish language and they actually speak as good as native but they get paid 80 k or 70 k. I am a foreigner but I think its not fair. Companies should reward those Filipinos who are thinking outside the box, especially if these companies opening and operating on Filipino land. Anyways Thanks for this beautiful vlog and all your vlogs, you take us to places and its really awesome. If I will say one thing about the Philippines, this country is not poor and this country needs more people like DU30.
Filipino food is awesome and I like that each region makes certain dishes in their own style. I have told many people that crime is not exclusive to the Philippines. I had my wallet stolen on my second trip and people said you would go back and I said it could happen in the city I live in here in Canada. As a truck driver I am thinking driving especially in Manila could be scary. They seem to have a honk and go system without looking. I have been in Manila, and Pasay and think it is a nice place to visit and explore but not a place I want to live. I am going to be looking outside of the cities for a place to live when I move there. Many people say the Philippines is a 3rd world country which in many ways it is but it is also becoming and developed country and that is a good thing. I traveled coast to coast in Canada and eastern US and Scotland and even though I have seen many awesome things and places in these travels the Philippines is my favorite and after 3 trips there it is my retirement destination.
Yeah the traffic and road congestation in Manila and other parts of the Philippines is shit, but that is more a third world problem. Same could be seen in south east asia and in India. Best way to experience Philippines is in the provinces, Manila don't give you an authentic Filipino experience but westernized one.
@@isaybellebenjamin1032 Yes I could but don't think there are many condos in the province. I would like to be near the ocean in a smaller place not in the city
@@generosoprovidojr.9720 I believe he made a joke. I myself smiled when the vlogger said that because I was amazed of the vlogger's knowledge of the islands.
Talking about hitting the nail on the head, you guys are on point. you've become more Filipino than what you really think you guys are...... Stay Safe... Keep it juicy 👌
those definitely are the most talked about misconceptions abt the phil. and I am just so glad that it was very well put! a lot of us even have that kind of thinking sometimes bec not everyone here have been able to travel all around the country (which sounds sad but I think a number of people just prefers to be practical instead of traveling) so I definitely feel that I approve of what you guys said about these misconceptions (I've watched your vlogs since then, btw) Great start of the year! so hopefully many who have watched this from other countries would dismiss these misconceptions and will start planning their trip to the Philippines!
Interesting video. I’m also a foreigner who has been living in the Philippines for 5 years and these are my opinions on the points in your video… *1. Filipino Food is bad* Like you guys, I enjoy and eat a lot of Filipino food. However, l understand how the Philippines got a reputation for bad food. You really have to go looking for that good food. Most travellers come to the Philippines after having visited countries like Thailand and Vietnam, where you can find cheap and delicious street food on every corner for less than the equivalent of 100 pesos. People come to the Philippines with the expectation that it will be like that. It’s not. That cheap street food and those carinderias are easy to find but the food is generally not fresh, 90% bone, and bad taste. To get a decent Filipino meal, you have to really seek out a good restaurant and pay at least 200-300 pesos for a dish for any kind of consistency. My experience of many families home cooking has been great but for some reason, this does not translate to restaurants. Filipino food isn’t objectively bad but I think it’s reputation is somewhat deserved. *2. Philippines is unsafe* Definitely a misconception. The Philippines will look sketchy to a foreigner but once you have adjusted your expectations of how things look, you’ll realise it is actually very safe. Sidenote: I don’t think the excess of guards is a sign of a place being safe. Actually, it’s quite the opposite. *3. Philippines is just beaches* Misconception - there are great cities and different kinds of beautiful landscapes as you guys pointed out. It’s quite nice that these are not well known though as it feels even more special when you discover them. *4. Can’t get around without Tagalog.* That’s not a misconception. Philippines is well known for good English. *5. So many islands* Again, not a misconception. People think of the Philippines as lots of islands. *6. Philippines is hard to get around* Not a misconception. It really is hard to get around. That’s one of the biggest things holding the country back as a tourist destination. The main tourist spots are very far apart - the only way to get between them is to fly - but there are no flights between them (or sometimes very expensive ones on obscure airlines). To get between the main tourist spots, you have to bounce in and out of Manila or Cebu. *7. Philippines is mainly farming* I get your point but Manila is just a small part of the Philippines and BGC is just a tiny part of Manila. 90% of the Philippines really does revolve around farming and fishing. *8. Manila isn’t worth seeing* Big misconception. Metro Manila is a great city. The info available online is bad though (this has changed for the better since you and other TH-camrs have been making informative videos) and most people get stuck in a bad part of Manila for a day and write it off without experiencing any of its great parts. You can’t conquer Manila in a day or even a week. I’ve lived here 5 years and still have so much to discover. It takes time to get a feel for it but the rewards are huge!
About the food thing, there are many food stalls or carenderias who have a great food. You don't have to pay 200-300 pesos just to have a good food. I think you just went to the wrong stalls or carenderia. Philippines is an agricultural country. But, to say that 90% of the country only revolves around farming and fishing is a wrong idea. If you travel to a few cities here in the Philippines you can see that many places here are urbanized. In my opinion, maybe around 50-70% will do. But again, Im happy that you love our country 💕
I don't know, but having securiry guards around, doesn't mean that those places are not safe because they are there.. And they are everywhere, Malls, fastfoods, stores, condominiums, etc., not generally because these places give you troubles as if expectedly, but more of giving safety to people, and the thought of being assisted immediately by these frontliners just in case the need arises. Though yes i understand that foreigners are scared because they are wielding guns, but to us locals they are actually far from scary, or we just got used to them around.
@@Ms-cz8fr the best meals I ever had in the philippines cost less than a dollar. I remember my friend and I feasted on a huge bowl of fresh oysters for 70 cents. That was insane.
I’ve been to remotest to touristic places in the planet. From Kota Kinabalu to Singapore, Vienna, Rome, Paris, etc but every where has their own distinct signature. Yes pickpockets are normal in these places and yet very visible in Paris! But one thing i appreciate in Phils. Is that you wont have a communication or language barrier. All the signs are in English. A large population dominated by young ages who can fluently understand English. Also, its more fun here as a new things always surprises us like new resto, coffeeshop, malls, events, etc.
The older generation( my parents generation ) are better, they can speak or understand filipino, english( american ) and spanish. Coz during their time spanish was in our education curriculum.
The reason why the older generations are fluent in English is that during their time the Americans spread the language so fast in order to eradicate Spanish as lingua franca. The older generations may have thick accent but their grammar is on point. Unlike today we might sound a bit Americans but are struggling on grammar. Some can't even express their thoughts clearly in English.
@@RED_WIRE Also their penmanship are like calligraphy. When I was young I saw this letter by my mother's older friend and it was in english with a smattering of spanish in this very flowy script, so pretty.
Thank you for appreciating our place again, everywhere there are good and bad places, we Filipinos admit that we also have a lot of bad experiences in our own country, I salute you for promoting our place. thumb ups for you guys. happy new year
Pilipinos in general, has a lot of good common sense. Not bec. Im a pilipino. I studied Antropology. Pilipipinos commonsense is diff. From the rest of the World.
15 years ago when i was working in hongkong my employer asked me a question that irked me and never forgot,she asked me,''in the philippines,are there cars & trafficlights on the roads?thank you for clearing those misconception that philippines is not a primitive country❤❤❤
Maybe he or she never try to go out on her comfort zone and never do a research.....😁😁😁 That is why she doesn't know what happening in the other part of the world.😁😁
I guess it was a great decision for you guys staying here in the Philippines. You had so much fun and freedom and helped other Filipinos in the most trying times. Mabuhay! When the pandemic is over, I do hope more people from the United Kingdom would visit the Philippines.
True, I agree. You know more about the Philippines, have seen more of the country. I still have to start from scratch. I need to get to know my country of birth next time I visit. Thank you. Happy New Year 2021
I can remember very well when I first arrived in the UK working as a Nurse, my care assistant asked me if we have Television in the Philippines. Because they thought Phippines is pure jungle.
I have a cousin from Canada who went here for the first time in 1997. Her parents (Mom is my aunt and her dad is an Italian but a Canadian Citizen) told us that my cousin was becoming bratty and bitchy plus a cry baby when they were on their way here coz my cousin thought there was no TV, no A/C, houses are very tiny and she thought that everything is about dirty water and jungle or purely sand and no sceneries. But when they landed here, she was surprised I had my PlayStation and I play better than her. 😆 And she then cried again coz she became tired going around SM Megamall and Shangri-la Mall when we decided to go shopping. 😆 Now my cousin has been traveling back and forth from Canada and the Philippines. She keeps on coming back and she even said she will buy her PS5 here coz it's gonna be cheaper. 😆
Thank you for indirectly promoting our country. But what I appreciate more is your truthfulness about your personal experience in our country and that's true there's so many misconceptions about our country specially from the racist people or from those who haven't been there yet but hearing some negative things. I know for a fact that there are some places that you should be scared of and be cautious as there are really bad people as other countries have. But in general Philippines is one of the most beautiful country to visit and spend a vacation and the most hospitable people.👍👍👍🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
It’s real nice for you guys giving your thoughts about the Philippines 🇵🇭, my wife and I have been living in the US for 37 this year we’re on the process of selling our home and it’s about to be done. Our plans are to move back to the Philippines and start a new life there. Though we’re going to be on the country side but our two boys which we left there in the middle of pandemic they too are planning go down back to Manila and start their life there. We all stay at BGC for three weeks and we stay about a week in 2018 early last year before pandemic so we definitely know how gorgeous life is in BGC though this year we got an Ford expedition and an ATV and took down to Southern Leyte.

This is so on point! I love it when you talk so highly about the Philippines because I think it is underrated. I miss the Philippines so much! When travelling will be easier, I’ll come home and I’ll bring you goodies that you miss from the UK. Hopefully, I can meet you guys! Keep doing what you’re doing.
Ow thanks! elaborating some foreigners misconceptions about the Philippines and sometimes its hurt us because many of them are not true. HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎉
Happy new year George and Lucy!! Thanks for patronizing and promoting the beauty of the Philippine sit will help a lot! God bless You both, and may You have a blessed and prosperous new year!!!!
One travels to learn. Once you've travelled, you can inform and swap experiences and tell stories, be it good or bad. Wouldn't life be boring if it was all the same. But a lot to bind it all together 😉💖
I’m currently in Seattle, Wa. I am so happy watching this video about Pinas. I was born & raised in Manila & been here in the States for over 10 years. I went home to the Philippines last 2019 & I can’t wait to come because of this video. I’m so proud to be a Filipino & lovin it! Thank you so much! Cant wait to watch more! Good luck & stay safe!
hello goerge and lucy, your channel is so very helpful to me so much encouraging, im a filipino canadian living in montreal, in philippines im from marikina but both of my parents are from batanes, i was so surprised that you mentioned batanes is one of your favorite place in philippines, happy to know that you enjoyed staying in the philippines
This video really made me want to travel again in different provinces in Philippines. Hope pandemic will end soon so we can travel again. Thanks Juicy Vlog you make my quarantine entertained. I always watch your vlogs
Thank you so much kuya George and ate Lucy for loving and supporting our homeland. I wish you both had a great year here in the Philippines. Stay safe and healthy❤️
Can't agree with you more. True that there are a lot of misconceptions about us as a country and as Filipinos. Some even think were primitive and illiterate. You are correct that its best to explain it coming from foreigners who have visited, stayed, ate our food, travelled all over our country and have learned to love Filipinos and our country like you guys. We really appreciate you guys in helping to promote our tourism and food industry the way you feature it as your content. Our country ain't perfect like any other country and some misconceptions have slight truth to it but its not as bad as what others think. 😊🤔🤗❤ I worked in the call center for 17 years so I have been given a lot of opportunity to talk to a lot of nationalities ( Americans, British, Australians, other European countries and fellow Asians too) face to face and over the phone. I must admit that I get emotional sometimes when we're looked down as people because of our race and 1st thing they will ask is "Where are you from?" for those who aren't fond of talking to a different nationality and the issue would go on a different path. But I am already used to it, just sharing. 😂😂😂
Too bad. There are people who thinks so highly of themselves. I can't entirely blame them though. There has been truth but not everything are true. I think our media has to do with it. If our mainstream and social media had praticed responsible reporting i don't think it will lead to misconception. If the media do not function what they should have be then we, citizens of of our country should step up and do what these organization supposed to do. They may have the machinery but we have more resources, vastly resources than them. Our number (people resources) can outweighs what they have.
I feel bad for you. Part of the blame is on Philippine mainstream media like ABS-CBN and websites like Rappler. In their desire to discredit the Duterte admin, they bring out biased news that paints a negative picture of the Philippines. While we ordinary citizens are trying to uplift the image of our country, these media organizations are doing the opposite, for their vested interests.
@@s.t.santos5928 no need to feel bad for me...i am already used to it, but there are times i would need to correct their notion or most of the time i just. shrug it off. I have developed quite a thick skin when it comes to it. There are 2 ways we can deal with it head on or treat them with kindness. Even us Filipinos are guilty of being cruel to our fellow men so we are no different than them too. Kindness, respectand understanding is a universal language. We maybe all different in race and we may not all speak the same language but it should start on how you want others to treat you. I really don't see the need to always defending ourselves and proving them wrong. 😊😊😊
Thank you for saying good words to the Philippines, and having the courage of saying those words that will compromises you and still you said those kind words...
In short, The Philippines has everything...Thank You guys you revealed to the world from your blog what is the true picture and life in the Philippines, because you really experience it, feel it and see in your own eyes whats really Philippines is all about, I think those who said bad about the Philippines they are the one who are not been in Philippines even once, so they have no idea about the Philippines. Indeed, The Philippines is very safe country to live and to visit.. beautiful, lively, fun, diverse country on earth.amazing country!
George & Lucy, at the outset let may first wish you a Blessed & Healthy Happy New Year. I'm living here in Manila and all those misconceptions you've discissed?...it's very well said...Need I say more?
Filipino's so much energetic because of our food's specially rice and vegetables. I'm proud being Filipino and I love my country. Happy New Year 🌲🎆🎊☃️🎉🎇🎄. Thanks for your both support and great reactions, and I wish you got a millions SUBSCRIBERS and viewers specially here in the PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭. Please react also to our famous singers for gets more SUBSCRIBERS and viewers. I hope more videos reactions and GOD bless you all 🙏💓🙏❤️🙏.
It's really easy for people to judge Philippines through news and rumors from other people and that's not bad since everybody got their own opinion and reaction, but once you visit our country and stay even for a few days you will see for yourself what the country really provides you! ❤❤❤
Yes! Like GMA news countdown for what happened in 2020, all were disasters and negative news. It would be balanced if they also showed what improvements Philippines have.
Every country has its rough places that you don't want to tread on. Just be extra cautious when going to these places and keep a low profile image. Always carry your wallet in your front pocket and don't wear jewelleries and carry expensive bags. And always try to walk briskly when you're not sure about the area.
Cheers to both of you! SALUTE!... We Filipinos, would like to give our sincerest thanks for all your efforts promoting the beautiful spots and scenery especially our beautiful beaches out there in the Phils... we are grateful and deeply appreciates all your hardworks to encourage more people to come and visit the beautiful Philippines... God bless guys, enjoy your travel and have some fun...
As a tourist esp to foreign country, one shld not expect that things they're having in country where they from (say food in particular), would be same to that available in a particular host country. Generally, purpose of being a tourist is to experience life somewhere else, a different surroundings, culture; to the extent of going out of one's comfort zone, do something out of the box and be adventurous. Abt foods, Flips food prepn are jst simple with not much spicy ingredients. If tourist doesnt like it, jst leave the country. Phil with over 100M popln, phil local tourists can support Tourism industry.
Thank you for clarifying about Manila. I feel sad everytime the people from provinces always said Manila is dirty and dangerous. I grew in Metro Manila and although I love provinces I can always say that living in Manila has huge advantage. So yes don't underestimate manila. Good job George and Lucy. I agree with everything you said.
Every small town or place you visit, you can always discover few good to exceptional singers in ordinary clothes... Lol ✅ I’ll bet you .... 🥇🎤🥈🎤🥉🎤🎼🎼🎼🎹🥁🎺
Enjoyed the video. I've been visiting the Philippines since 1994 - about 20+ visits. I retired in Thailand, but get to the Philippines several times a year. I love visiting a new island on each trip. My favorite island is Siquijor. When I first visited I had a bit of difficulty with the food, but after a few visits had favorites and added more as I traveled about - still a few I have steered clear of, but here in Thailand there also a few dishes I avoid. Am looking forward to coming to Manila again as soon as it is allowed. Have enjoyed being a subscriber since you first visited the Philippines and might be one of your oldest - in my 82nd year. Tom Rice, Lum Lu Ka, Pathumthani (had lived on Phuket for my first 17 years in Thailand).
Thank you very much for promoting my country with so much pride and love! God bless you both and I'll always bw watching your channel! A Blessed New Year 🙏🎅🎻🎶

Filipino food has such a broad base underneath it, with native, Chinese, Spanish and American influences that there is going to be a wide variety of dishes that appeal to people. It certainly is a paradise for those who love fresh and varied seafood. I've been eating it for 47 years now, and can say that if you can't easily find at least a dozen dishes that you'll fall in love with then you have a heart that is already hardened and a mind that is impossible to open.
Very well said....and the fusion of it all - becomes very rich in flavor and texture.

Maybe they were misguided by wrong gosstp but realistically there are many middle families lived in this country so most of food we can buy was affordable only for our buget so many restaurant here offered not so expensive menus of food unlike in your country even the poor can taste a variwty of food that also eaten by the rich

Indeed..i love Mike & Nelly as well and yes infact..they are good friends of George & Lucy..Love these four Vloggers together who happened to love with my home Native Land Philippines🇵🇭🇨🇦
Because many are misinformed about the Philippines.
My Husband is German and he Want to eat Filipino food compare to german Food ..
,
GERMAN FOOD BORING NO MATCH TO ASIAN PACIFIC CUISINE...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would love to taste german food🙂🙂🙂
Well honestly, western food is boring.
Asian and pacific foods are alot more tasteful because theres alot of spices in them, lots of flavor.
@@yamashitatreasures hm let's check worldwide which food is more famous? I'm from Germany and honesty not the biggest fan of your cousine here. Compared to the rest of asia it's very blunt, fatty and oily. If i cook filipino i change up some things and add more flavors, then it's actually good. Everyone have different taste and my gf actually loves german food ;)
@@Chris-vj5ps you are right. Filipino street food is tasteless but if you add some taste it's good.
i lived in the Philippines all my life--- but Lucy and George visited places more than I did lol
Because they’re there to live (and earn) as foreigners. Everyday Filipinos don’t treat the country they live in as Disneyland (compared to the ones who are just there to visit and earn money through vlogging).
Most of us are like tourists in our country. Going around needs the financial capability and many of us are not equipped with that so we just content ourselves with seeing the beauty of our country through the vlogs that we watch.
sadly, i feel the same.
The money is the problem
The misconceptions mentioned are really common among people not so familiar with our country and culture. And i give u credit for explaining things from your own experience and perspective. I can feel you really love the Philippines and that's what makes me more love u guys.. U and Making It Happen are my favorites!!!! ❤️ Pogi and Maganda!!!! ❤️ 😍 Happy new year!
GOD BLESS YOUR SINCEROTY, GUYZ!
@@alowishusabercrombie8318 why don't u ask them personally. Is it a problem to u that they have gained more followers now? I am a fan and a follower. Do u have a problem with them? Plllleeeeezzzzz!!!
@@alowishusabercrombie8318 u know what, if u don't like them, u are free to leave this comment section. Once and for all, I will not answer any fool for that matter. So, good bye to u. Their personal decisions in life does not include u and no matter how much negativity u have towards them, it will not affect them one bit. So my final advice: GET A LIFE!!!! 😜
What make this legit is the Fact they they have been to almost everywhere in the Philippines than most Filipinos Can be in short "Lakwatsero sila" and they have the first hand experience. So I agree with all what they said in this Video.
they're probably more knowledgeable about philippines than most filipinos ngl😂
As a Filipino , we would like to thank you guys, your vlogs show the other side of the Philippines mainstream media does not show, again maraming salamat po. Your vlogs help the less fortunate because it helps our tourism industry and the money these tourist pays on the stores, the tricycle driver, the hotel staff really helps a lot.
That's why I love George & Lucy ❤ Thank you for giving good and nice feedback about the Philippines and showing to the world the beauty of our country thru their vlogs 😍
A perfect business for George and Lucy is to open up Travel Planners exclusively for British foreigners. To handle their vacation itineraries. They know where and how to book hotels and perfect destinations here in PH.
Agree with you
Thank you for proving them wrong, just always remember every nation, country has two faces
"Don't underestimate Manila. Manila is awesome!" Thank you so much, Lucy and George. I'm from Manila now living in Canada and I miss my hometown. Take care.
The “Pogi” story is hilarious 😂
from now on, imma call george, "pogie"..that'd be his nickname from now on!
Being a Filipino living in a foreign country, I agree to all things you've said...Heres hoping, that this video will help to lessen the misconceptions towards my beloved Country. A Huge Thank You, George&Lucy
George and Lucy you have more appreciation for the Philippines than some of the Filipinos I know. You got everything right in your vlog. In fact, watching your vlogs makes miss the Philippines more.❤
I live in the Philippines for 7 years now and I was really amazed with many things in this country. It really depends on where you live. My rent varies depends on my location for example. I paid 3000 k for house 1 story 2 bedrooms w/parking lot in cedar 1 in carmona cavite, also 18k in carmona cavite but this time was in Carmona Estate 2 story house 4 bedrooms with huge parking lot and washing area. In Metro area in varies, I paid 25k with DMCI The Red Woods, also 11k in DMCI Palm Groove. Security are amazing in Metro Area, I love the shut gun that the security guards hold all the time, makes you feel your family are safe. Yet, life is more secure in province and I mean by this, Carmona Cavite, even though technically its not a province but its not a part of Metro Manila either. What I hate is most of the properties are too expensive on average salary of Filipino Citizens. I feel like foreigners get the chance to explore luxury life than Filipinos in the Philippines. I see job post pays Foreigners higher than Filipinos even though both can do the same job, Example: A company looking for Spanish speaker, they hire foreigner for 100 k when they pay a Filipino who work hard on Spanish language and they actually speak as good as native but they get paid 80 k or 70 k. I am a foreigner but I think its not fair. Companies should reward those Filipinos who are thinking outside the box, especially if these companies opening and operating on Filipino land. Anyways Thanks for this beautiful vlog and all your vlogs, you take us to places and its really awesome. If I will say one thing about the Philippines, this country is not poor and this country needs more people like DU30.
Ok nice
Very well said....
@@jenvillagracia4871 Thanks a lot, Jen.
Wow, that last line is a punch!
@@ginocastano2327 thanks Gino
Thanks for appreciating our (and obviously yours too) country. Mabuhay kayo! Have a prosperous New Year!
Your open minded people! You love Philippines 🙂 you are not hard to please...thank u George and Lucy!
Been here 22 years. 59 provinces visited and 89 islands. Live in Davao and far better than Manila.
if people want to experience life in the Philippines its kinda pointless to stay in manila.
@@erickdavepascua6880 lived in Manila, Cagayan de oro, Batangas, Cebu and Dumaguete for work. My home is Davao and Manila is bottom of the list
I miss Davao my hometown.
Really? Ur from davao? Name a place south of davao city?
@@reflexesarguelles63 from Manchester England home for 22 years is Davao. Toril 15km South of Davao.
Filipino food is awesome and I like that each region makes certain dishes in their own style. I have told many people that crime is not exclusive to the Philippines. I had my wallet stolen on my second trip and people said you would go back and I said it could happen in the city I live in here in Canada. As a truck driver I am thinking driving especially in Manila could be scary. They seem to have a honk and go system without looking. I have been in Manila, and Pasay and think it is a nice place to visit and explore but not a place I want to live. I am going to be looking outside of the cities for a place to live when I move there. Many people say the Philippines is a 3rd world country which in many ways it is but it is also becoming and developed country and that is a good thing. I traveled coast to coast in Canada and eastern US and Scotland and even though I have seen many awesome things and places in these travels the Philippines is my favorite and after 3 trips there it is my retirement destination.
Yeah the traffic and road congestation in Manila and other parts of the Philippines is shit, but that is more a third world problem. Same could be seen in south east asia and in India. Best way to experience Philippines is in the provinces, Manila don't give you an authentic Filipino experience but westernized one.
Don't rent a house or lot it is not practical 😇
Buy a house and lot
@@crusaderplayer3971 As a foreigner there I can't buy land
@@brianbaxter3913 u can buy a condominium.
@@isaybellebenjamin1032 Yes I could but don't think there are many condos in the province. I would like to be near the ocean in a smaller place not in the city
Really laughing my ass off after hearing 'depends if high tide or low tide'! Classic! 🤣🤣🤣
That's true anyway.
In fact the question how many islands are there in hundred islands is more of a real question than a joke...it depends on the tide.
High tide...........island underwater
Low tide............island surfaces
Nothing funny about nature and science.
@@generosoprovidojr.9720 I believe he made a joke. I myself smiled when the vlogger said that because I was amazed of the vlogger's knowledge of the islands.
Talking about hitting the nail on the head, you guys are on point. you've become more Filipino than what you really think you guys are......
Stay Safe... Keep it juicy 👌
those definitely are the most talked about misconceptions abt the phil. and I am just so glad that it was very well put! a lot of us even have that kind of thinking sometimes bec not everyone here have been able to travel all around the country (which sounds sad but I think a number of people just prefers to be practical instead of traveling) so I definitely feel that I approve of what you guys said about these misconceptions (I've watched your vlogs since then, btw) Great start of the year! so hopefully many who have watched this from other countries would dismiss these misconceptions and will start planning their trip to the Philippines!
Thank you Thank you forevermore Lucy and George for loving the Philippines .
thanks so much for advertising the philippines all over the world, from filipino in new york
all i can say... "THANK YOU!" for loving the Philippines.. hope you both never change..
Let.s not give them reasons to change
filipino food is good but it's not popular, that's it.
Since There's so many foods to choose .. it always depends on someone's taste
coz often, popular is overrated. that’s fact!
Bcoz they always thought Filipino foof is exotic and extreme like balut. When it's really not. Lol
Love you guys for loving us and Philippines. Keep safe and healthy. George yes you’re pogi and Lucy my I’m looking a talking doll you are maganda.
Im Filipino and I do agree to all your comments and observations about Philippines.
Interesting video. I’m also a foreigner who has been living in the Philippines for 5 years and these are my opinions on the points in your video…
*1. Filipino Food is bad*
Like you guys, I enjoy and eat a lot of Filipino food. However, l understand how the Philippines got a reputation for bad food. You really have to go looking for that good food.
Most travellers come to the Philippines after having visited countries like Thailand and Vietnam, where you can find cheap and delicious street food on every corner for less than the equivalent of 100 pesos. People come to the Philippines with the expectation that it will be like that. It’s not. That cheap street food and those carinderias are easy to find but the food is generally not fresh, 90% bone, and bad taste. To get a decent Filipino meal, you have to really seek out a good restaurant and pay at least 200-300 pesos for a dish for any kind of consistency.
My experience of many families home cooking has been great but for some reason, this does not translate to restaurants.
Filipino food isn’t objectively bad but I think it’s reputation is somewhat deserved.
*2. Philippines is unsafe*
Definitely a misconception. The Philippines will look sketchy to a foreigner but once you have adjusted your expectations of how things look, you’ll realise it is actually very safe.
Sidenote: I don’t think the excess of guards is a sign of a place being safe. Actually, it’s quite the opposite.
*3. Philippines is just beaches*
Misconception - there are great cities and different kinds of beautiful landscapes as you guys pointed out. It’s quite nice that these are not well known though as it feels even more special when you discover them.
*4. Can’t get around without Tagalog.*
That’s not a misconception. Philippines is well known for good English.
*5. So many islands*
Again, not a misconception. People think of the Philippines as lots of islands.
*6. Philippines is hard to get around*
Not a misconception. It really is hard to get around. That’s one of the biggest things holding the country back as a tourist destination. The main tourist spots are very far apart - the only way to get between them is to fly - but there are no flights between them (or sometimes very expensive ones on obscure airlines). To get between the main tourist spots, you have to bounce in and out of Manila or Cebu.
*7. Philippines is mainly farming*
I get your point but Manila is just a small part of the Philippines and BGC is just a tiny part of Manila. 90% of the Philippines really does revolve around farming and fishing.
*8. Manila isn’t worth seeing*
Big misconception. Metro Manila is a great city. The info available online is bad though (this has changed for the better since you and other TH-camrs have been making informative videos) and most people get stuck in a bad part of Manila for a day and write it off without experiencing any of its great parts. You can’t conquer Manila in a day or even a week. I’ve lived here 5 years and still have so much to discover. It takes time to get a feel for it but the rewards are huge!
About the food thing, there are many food stalls or carenderias who have a great food. You don't have to pay 200-300 pesos just to have a good food. I think you just went to the wrong stalls or carenderia.
Philippines is an agricultural country. But, to say that 90% of the country only revolves around farming and fishing is a wrong idea. If you travel to a few cities here in the Philippines you can see that many places here are urbanized. In my opinion, maybe around 50-70% will do.
But again, Im happy that you love our country 💕
I don't know, but having securiry guards around, doesn't mean that those places are not safe because they are there.. And they are everywhere, Malls, fastfoods, stores, condominiums, etc., not generally because these places give you troubles as if expectedly, but more of giving safety to people, and the thought of being assisted immediately by these frontliners just in case the need arises. Though yes i understand that foreigners are scared because they are wielding guns, but to us locals they are actually far from scary, or we just got used to them around.
@@Ms-cz8fr the best meals I ever had in the philippines cost less than a dollar. I remember my friend and I feasted on a huge bowl of fresh oysters for 70 cents. That was insane.
I guess manila's bad reputation is only evolving with heavy traffic
@@Kyoto.Tomino that's actually in the past now.
I’ve been to remotest to touristic places in the planet. From Kota Kinabalu to Singapore, Vienna, Rome, Paris, etc but every where has their own distinct signature. Yes pickpockets are normal in these places and yet very visible in Paris! But one thing i appreciate in Phils. Is that you wont have a communication or language barrier. All the signs are in English. A large population dominated by young ages who can fluently understand English. Also, its more fun here as a new things always surprises us like new resto, coffeeshop, malls, events, etc.
The older generation( my parents generation ) are better, they can speak or understand filipino, english( american ) and spanish. Coz during their time spanish was in our education curriculum.
@@RED_WIRE Si señor
The reason why the older generations are fluent in English is that during their time the Americans spread the language so fast in order to eradicate Spanish as lingua franca. The older generations may have thick accent but their grammar is on point. Unlike today we might sound a bit Americans but are struggling on grammar. Some can't even express their thoughts clearly in English.
In Italy worst😪Pickpocket😓
@@RED_WIRE
Also their penmanship are like calligraphy. When I was young I saw this letter by my mother's older friend and it was in english with a smattering of spanish in this very flowy script, so pretty.
Love you both ,God bless you ,thank you for beautiful words about our country. Mabuhay kayo dalawa...
16 minutes of me smiling about two of talking bout how you love our country 🇵🇭salamat!! 👏🏼big love for both of you!! ♥️
Thank you George & Lucy! Thanks for seeing the nicer side of the Philippines. Salute!
Thank you for appreciating our place again, everywhere there are good and bad places, we Filipinos admit that we also have a lot of bad experiences in our own country, I salute you for promoting our place. thumb ups for you guys. happy new year
Pilipinos in general, has a lot of good common sense. Not bec. Im a pilipino. I studied Antropology. Pilipipinos commonsense is diff. From the rest of the World.
15 years ago when i was working in hongkong my employer asked me a question that irked me and never forgot,she asked me,''in the philippines,are there cars & trafficlights on the roads?thank you for clearing those misconception that philippines is not a primitive country❤❤❤
You should have told her that we had airlines and trains long before hongkong ever saw one.
That person (your emplyer) who asked u wAs the primitive & uneducated one, not knowing about philippines.
Maybe he or she never try to go out on her comfort zone and never do a research.....😁😁😁
That is why she doesn't know what happening in the other part of the world.😁😁
Thank you very much for positive comments about the Philippines...Stay Safe Always...
Wow nice that's a matured perceptions☺
There's a song " Manila" that I want you to listen why we here in a foreign land always want to go back to the Philippines. Please listen to it...
Yeah! It would be great if George and Lucy can sing it!
I guess it was a great decision for you guys staying here in the Philippines. You had so much fun and freedom and helped other Filipinos in the most trying times.
Mabuhay!
When the pandemic is over, I do hope more people from the United Kingdom would visit the Philippines.
True, I agree. You know more about the Philippines, have seen more of the country. I still have to start from scratch. I need to get to know my country of birth next time I visit. Thank you. Happy New Year 2021
Thanks for the acknowledgements George n lucy
I can remember very well when I first arrived in the UK working as a Nurse, my care assistant asked me if we have Television in the Philippines. Because they thought Phippines is pure jungle.
pucha sobra naman nyan hahaha pure junlgle? baka akala niya sa puno pa nakatirk bahay
What?!! Oh!
Nyaaay..grabe nman un..sobrang timawa nman ntin😁😁😜😜
Tarzan lang???
I have a cousin from Canada who went here for the first time in 1997. Her parents (Mom is my aunt and her dad is an Italian but a Canadian Citizen) told us that my cousin was becoming bratty and bitchy plus a cry baby when they were on their way here coz my cousin thought there was no TV, no A/C, houses are very tiny and she thought that everything is about dirty water and jungle or purely sand and no sceneries. But when they landed here, she was surprised I had my PlayStation and I play better than her. 😆 And she then cried again coz she became tired going around SM Megamall and Shangri-la Mall when we decided to go shopping. 😆 Now my cousin has been traveling back and forth from Canada and the Philippines. She keeps on coming back and she even said she will buy her PS5 here coz it's gonna be cheaper. 😆
Thank you for indirectly promoting our country. But what I appreciate more is your truthfulness about your personal experience in our country and that's true there's so many misconceptions about our country specially from the racist people or from those who haven't been there yet but hearing some negative things. I know for a fact that there are some places that you should be scared of and be cautious as there are really bad people as other countries have. But in general Philippines is one of the most beautiful country to visit and spend a vacation and the most hospitable people.👍👍👍🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
It’s real nice for you guys giving your thoughts about the Philippines 🇵🇭, my wife and I have been living in the US for 37 this year we’re on the process of selling our home and it’s about to be done. Our plans are to move back to the Philippines and start a new life there. Though we’re going to be on the country side but our two boys which we left there in the middle of pandemic they too are planning go down back to Manila and start their life there. We all stay at BGC for three weeks and we stay about a week in 2018 early last year before pandemic so we definitely know how gorgeous life is in BGC though this year we got an Ford expedition and an ATV and took down to Southern Leyte.

One travels to learn. Once you've travelled, you can inform and swap experiences and tell stories, be it good or bad. Wouldn't life be boring if it was all the same. But a lot to bind it all together 😉💖

Thank you so much kuya George and ate Lucy for loving and supporting our homeland. I wish you both had a great year here in the Philippines. Stay safe and healthy❤️
Can't agree with you more. True that there are a lot of misconceptions about us as a country and as Filipinos. Some even think were primitive and illiterate. You are correct that its best to explain it coming from foreigners who have visited, stayed, ate our food, travelled all over our country and have learned to love Filipinos and our country like you guys. We really appreciate you guys in helping to promote our tourism and food industry the way you feature it as your content. Our country ain't perfect like any other country and some misconceptions have slight truth to it but its not as bad as what others think. 😊🤔🤗❤
I worked in the call center for 17 years so I have been given a lot of opportunity to talk to a lot of nationalities ( Americans, British, Australians, other European countries and fellow Asians too) face to face and over the phone. I must admit that I get emotional sometimes when we're looked down as people because of our race and 1st thing they will ask is "Where are you from?" for those who aren't fond of talking to a different nationality and the issue would go on a different path. But I am already used to it, just sharing. 😂😂😂
Too bad. There are people who thinks so highly of themselves. I can't entirely blame them though. There has been truth but not everything are true. I think our media has to do with it. If our mainstream and social media had praticed responsible reporting i don't think it will lead to misconception. If the media do not function what they should have be then we, citizens of of our country should step up and do what these organization supposed to do. They may have the machinery but we have more resources, vastly resources than them. Our number (people resources) can outweighs what they have.
💙
I feel bad for you. Part of the blame is on Philippine mainstream media like ABS-CBN and websites like Rappler. In their desire to discredit the Duterte admin, they bring out biased news that paints a negative picture of the Philippines. While we ordinary citizens are trying to uplift the image of our country, these media organizations are doing the opposite, for their vested interests.
@@s.t.santos5928 no need to feel bad for me...i am already used to it, but there are times i would need to correct their notion or most of the time i just. shrug it off. I have developed quite a thick skin when it comes to it. There are 2 ways we can deal with it head on or treat them with kindness. Even us Filipinos are guilty of being cruel to our fellow men so we are no different than them too. Kindness, respectand understanding is a universal language. We maybe all different in race and we may not all speak the same language but it should start on how you want others to treat you. I really don't see the need to always defending ourselves and proving them wrong. 😊😊😊
@@momsierose_ng_bayan Your depth and maturity are remarkable. Cheers to you!

In short, The Philippines has everything...Thank You guys you revealed to the world from your blog what is the true picture and life in the Philippines, because you really experience it, feel it and see in your own eyes whats really Philippines is all about, I think those who said bad about the Philippines they are the one who are not been in Philippines even once, so they have no idea about the Philippines.

Yes! Like GMA news countdown for what happened in 2020, all were disasters and negative news. It would be balanced if they also showed what improvements Philippines have.
So thankful to you, because of the way you erase bad misconception about the Philippines. Thank you so much and "Happy New Year to you".
Every country has its rough places that you don't want to tread on. Just be extra cautious when going to these places and keep a low profile image. Always carry your wallet in your front pocket and don't wear jewelleries and carry expensive bags. And always try to walk briskly when you're not sure about the area.
Ohh thank you having fun and enjoyed your visit phil our place, pls come again. Keep safe always and God bless.
Filipinos appreciates both of you for clarifying the misconceptions about the Philippines. Have a Prosperous New Year!!! George & Lucy/The Juicy Vlog.

Cheers to both of you! SALUTE!... We Filipinos, would like to give our sincerest thanks for all your efforts promoting the beautiful spots and scenery especially our beautiful beaches out there in the Phils... we are grateful and deeply appreciates all your hardworks to encourage more people to come and visit the beautiful Philippines... God bless guys, enjoy your travel and have some fun...
As a tourist esp to foreign country, one shld not expect that things they're having in country where they from (say food in particular), would be same to that available in a particular host country. Generally, purpose of being a tourist is to experience life somewhere else, a different surroundings, culture; to the extent of going out of one's comfort zone, do something out of the box and be adventurous. Abt foods, Flips food prepn are jst simple with not much spicy ingredients. If tourist doesnt like it, jst leave the country. Phil with over 100M popln, phil local tourists can support Tourism industry.
Thank u for the love Philippines... Happy new year...
Thank you for clarifying about Manila. I feel sad everytime the people from provinces always said Manila is dirty and dangerous. I grew in Metro Manila and although I love provinces I can always say that living in Manila has huge advantage. So yes don't underestimate manila. Good job George and Lucy. I agree with everything you said.
Thank you George and Lucy for depending our country. God Bless

Enjoyed the video. I've been visiting the Philippines since 1994 - about 20+ visits. I retired in Thailand, but get to the Philippines several times a year. I love visiting a new island on each trip. My favorite island is Siquijor. When I first visited I had a bit of difficulty with the food, but after a few visits had favorites and added more as I traveled about - still a few I have steered clear of, but here in Thailand there also a few dishes I avoid. Am looking forward to coming to Manila again as soon as it is allowed. Have enjoyed being a subscriber since you first visited the Philippines and might be one of your oldest - in my 82nd year. Tom Rice, Lum Lu Ka, Pathumthani (had lived on Phuket for my first 17 years in Thailand).
Thank you very much for promoting my country with so much pride and love! God bless you both and I'll always bw watching your channel! A Blessed New Year 🙏🎅🎻🎶
