During the us-vietnam war, Vietnamese seek refuge in Philippines, and they are welcomed unlike other countries, same thing with the jews, Filipino loved to help no matter who you are
Australia welcomed the Vietnamese Boat people.... You can see them at the Heart of Sydney and Neighboring towns.... They are all doing good in their living most of them has Business like Restaurants, merchandise stores, Bakeries....and works in the Office etcetcetc....
The first time I was in Vietnam, I was at a lost. The language barrier was fierce. I couldn't even properly compute their money. Being a Filipino, I was so used to the Philippine Pesos. But most of the people that I encountered in Vietnam were very kind to me. They knew instantly, just by listening to my voice, and my accent that I am a Filipino, and they would ask, "you Filipino?" And I'd say, "yes." They will always answer with, I love Filipinos. You helped us before. We help you now. We are friends!" Despite the barriers, our hearts are connected through history. I'm looking forward to the day I'd go back and visit Vietnam again.
who doesn't love filipinos? I have visited the philippines 6 times for a total of 13 months. 1st, for the loving and welcoming culture (the people), 2nd for the geography, then so on.
I love the fact that both women call him kuya (elder brother) when in fact they are older by more than ten years. The bond between these people transcends barriers. Nakakainggit!
In Vietnamese culture, middle-aged or more people who are not blood-related would call each other "anh" (elder brother) or "chị" (elder sister) to express respect to each other, regardless of their real age. In my observation, people usually practice that after having their (first) child married. FYI.
Refugees that are Russians, Refugees that are Jewish, Refugees that are Vietnamese, And many more... Nakaka proud maging Filipino dahil sa kindness na ipinakita ng ating mga ninuno sa mga dayuhan...
"Vietnam. Philippines. Friends." Watching this after Vietnamese fishermen rescued 22 Filipino fishermen whose boat was rammed by a Chinese vessel. Shame on the government for casting doubt on the testimonies of its citizens and long live the Vietnamese people - friends of the Filipino people.
@@randomly_random_0 Vietnam has long claimed its sovereignty over Spratly Islands. If you look closely, you will know the islands that China is controlling are the islands that they use force to occupy Vietnam, the Vietnamese navy has died a lot in the Spratly Islands.
west Philippine sea when they were reigning as most powerful country in Asia.. Tthry bomb everything that is going there so they might receiving retribution nows they ruled everything in sSame for Philippine s
@@randomly_random_0 yeah..... The problem here is that Filipino are kind Hearted.. Its Frustrating when other nationality take advantage of it... U.S. rented a place... Chinese are not paying rent....
ザーン_ランド every country has 200 miles nautical sea border, China to spratlys is way farther than that, so I have no idea why is China trying to claim islands which is way closer to Philippines and other asean countries
I had stayed in Philippines for 6+ months, and I heard from many Vietnamese relatives and friends with many good stories about the people of Philippines; they are honest, hardworking and friendly people. There is always a place in my heart, Philippines.
I'm a Filipina, and I have been living here in Vietnam for two years... I've got a lot of Vietnamese friends here... One of the best thing about Vietnamese is how they value friendship... This video is worth watching!
After the Vietnam War and their unification.. The first country the leader of Vietnam visited was the Philippines, as a gratitude for our Nation for not sending combatant soldiers to fight them and join the US forces in the Vietnam War even we (The Philippines), are the US close ally (unlike in the Korean War whom Filipino soldiers fought side by side with the South Korean and American soldiers, against the North Korean and Chinese soldiers). In the Vietnam War, our late President Ferdinand E. Marcos DENIED the US Congress of their request to join them in combat and instead sent non combatant soldiers (PHILCAG) only to repair bridges, schools etc. and for humanitarian services. And for that reason and decision the friendships will forever be written in our (Vietnam - Philippines) History. 🙂🇻🇳❤️🇵🇭
Philippines has been the country who accepts refugees regardless of what nationality they have. We may be part of the 3rd world country but our hospitality is considered best and warm around the world. Praying for this 3 beautiful person and Lord let them enjoy the rest of their life here in the Philippines peacefully. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I wanna make this into a movie. Vietnam and the Philippines are true bestfriends EDIT: Actually we're not just bestfriends we are brothers and sisters along with our fellow ASEAN nations. ASEAN FIRST! #ASEAN1st
TrollBuster GossipPunisher I see it as more than just best friends... I see us like brothers. Along with Brunei, Malaysia, Indonesia and other ASEAN countries 😊😊😊
yup , we Vietnamese also like phillipino plus you guy are great singer , i hope you guy gona keep on fighting the Chinese like us to keep our island , if you give up the fight it will be harder for us , in Vietnam there is a say 1 bamboo tree is easy to broke in half , but bunch of bamboo tree stick to each other cant be broken in half
So touching. Now i’m Really love Filipino they so kind, not like Thai people( becasue of the Vietnam war) our people left , go to alot of country but Thai people is so cruel nót like Filipino. All, thanks ❤️
When I worked in Frankfurt Germany, I used to eat vietnamese food in a vietnamese restaurant. I missed that foods now that I'm back in the Philippines. God bless these Vietnamese women.
In the amidst of corona virus and other shitty issues we have right now, all we need are stories like these. Heartwarming and it’s so pure. Humanity needs human values.

These people mommy mihn and mommy ahn are one of many vietnamise i meet in palawan i lived in their community "vietnamise village palawan" at the staff house were my sister and brother are working that time. Vietnamise people are very friendly, i love their culture and specially their foods it more of vigges and noodles!😁 Mommy mihn and mommy ahn hope you still remember me.

I am a Filipino living in Vietnam for 2 1/2 years now. Vietnamese people are so kind, accomodating and helpful. They always have a smile on their face just like us filipinos. They too are hard working and you can find women working in house/ building construction even in roads construction. I praise how these people work so hard. I am amazed that I see no beggars roaming here in Ho Chi Mihn, instead they sell sweepstake tickets for livelihood. The hardest thing I find here is the language barrier, their language is too hard to learn.
This is a great memory. I used to live in Palawan and met a lot of Pilipinos people. They were truly kindness, helpful and honesty. Even I live the United State now whenever I approach or see Pilipinos i always look at them with respectful and thanks every thing you did to ours Vietmanese Boat People and You are the great ones.
i remember there was a Vietnamese girl who joined Philippine Big Brother edition a few years ago. She's now in the States. She still speak fluent Tagalog.
If we are to really commit to strengthening or building a united ASEAN community, we should start to share and bring more stories like this to the surface. Truly heart-warming and inspirational. Thank you for making this video.
I remember my Vietnamese school mates in Manila - they are kind and simple people - they are really vegetarian and they are slim - one day one Vietnamese told me - you Filipinos are meat eaters - She came and cooked shabu shabu for my board mate who is from Myanmar. In 1990's many refugees came to the Phil and they are hard working, they engage in "buy and sell" so they go from school to school or from office to office. But sometimes their experienced are not good because one related that his place was ransacked. This video is an eye opener for us and it impels us to respect one another and love one another regardless of culture, race, religion and others. May God bless us all.
we not vegetarian really , our food just have bunch of veggie lol , we do eat meat and fish a lot , heck there is a say in Vietnam any thing that move is a food lol we eat turtle , snake ,dog , catt, bird and tons of other wild animal lol beside of the normal beef and pork and fish , i think it all come from the Chinese influent of eating everything lol it both great and suck that we live next to china and have east asia cultural mindset , the bad thing is we allway get invade by china , the great is we learn a lot of great thing from them like everyone els in the east asia cultural . beware of china rise they can act like your friend but betray you right away if you show weakness , we know them way to well lol live with them and fight them for nearly 4000 year ( they are 5000 year old history, we Vietnamese only have 4000 year )
I can feel your sentiments about the Chinese who ruled you for how many years. My Myanmar board mate told me that since we have also Chinese with us. I went to Korea last May. when my sisters and I were falling in line to go up Namsam Tower, a man was looking at us as if he was about to say something or as if we are familiar. I told my sister, maybe that guy is from Phil or he thought that we are from his country. when we were up and was seated, he approached us and we entertained him, he told us that he is from Vietnam and he was with his family. he left them in order to talk to us. I was able to talk to him slowly and for him also to understand me because of his limited English but I was able to grasped his words and I understood that his son who is a US Army and came home for vacation and treated them to Korea. He is very jolly and he even invited us to Vietnam to visit too. I am very much associated with Vietnamese people because the first Movie I watched during my college days was about Vietnam war example Green Beret and others and because of the refugees whom I encountered I even buy shoes from them. Turtle is delicious I tasted the big one when I went to the Pacific Island in Chuuk, Micronesia. We Filipinos can also eat the food you mentioned but not in a regular meal those who like only but not cat.
What a touching story to tell between 2 different cultures. We should love and care for each other, like Jesus Christ who offered Himself for us & to become like us- to restore Eternal life.
The two old Vietnamese ladies are delightful, but the hero for meof this wonderful story is Kuya Jun. He represented Filipinos very well and all the traditional values we hold dear, friendliness, kindness, selflessness, and best of all, loyalty. Well done Kuya!
True friendship that transcends borders, languages and time. Real Best Friends for Life. Friendship so timeless and so priceless indeed! Thank you CNA for featuring such invaluable, meaningful and memorable friendship between two cultures.
Probably millenials born Aquino era. They have these kind of mentality of "ow we are being invaded by the chinese now or we are a province of china now." We dont have such mentality back then. If these refugees came today, it would have been "ow we are being invaded by vietnamese now...".
@@MrSinfulm3 effect of bias media and textbooks they erased great history of Quezon and Quirino only the topic they want to discuss is Aquinos all about Aquinos who are corrupt.
One of the Philippines' best traits are their very welcoming and very hospitable nature. Hoping that one day we all of Asia will rise as one because we are all brothers.
I’m a Filipino but I love Vietnam because it’s very friendly with Vietnamese especially beautiful girls and also very special friendship, despite Indonesia was my favorite country with Indonesians buddies as my best friends of 2022 🇵🇭❤️🇻🇳🇮🇩
This is one of the best videos Ive watched in recent years! I also had a chance dining at their restaurant... the food was good and simple (as Vietnamese cuisine is about fresh and healthy food). Then I ordered a Bahn Mi to go... eating it at the hotel was one of the best memories of Palawan for me! I still want to go back... I hope to meet with three the next time. If any of you gets to visit Puerto Princesa in Palawan, do visit the former Vietnamese Refugee Center’s restaurant... patronising their food is supporting them thru their livelihood. Its also located in this lush forested area by the beach.... It gives you this lovely feeling if being in nature! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Kudos Channel News Asia for this wonderful video and series! ❤️
What a beautiful, touching story! I am Filipino and I like Vietnamese people too. I love the part where Jun says he learned to love vegetables from eating Vietnamese food. 😊
Despite all that has been happening to the country for the last few decades, I am still proud that I was born here. It is such a pride to be a Filipino!
I'm so happy to have foreign friends near the Philippines like it made me realized that real relationship s not really about blood after all. We ASEANS could've been better if our relationships are just like supporting each other's tv shows/drama/movies. More power to us 😍
I had a chance to visit Viet Ville Restaurant in Palawan last year and the food were so delicious. Two years ago, I went on a leisure travel to Vietnam (Ho Chi Min and Ha Long Bay) and I find the Vietnamese people so friendly. I would love to go back in Vietnam again soon.
I cry watching this video. I am a Filipino yes I love Vietnamese people I meet a Vietnamese in Cebu he so nice and I fall inlove with him but I'm hiding my feelings to him because he is my friend. I care about him. Vietnamese people are so cute and friendly.
after 3 years i am still crying and joyful watching this .... ive worked with vietnamese in the PRPC Camp in Bataan for more than 5 YEARS and my life has never been the same again. I miss my vietnamese students and i still have some connection with them thru FB . Sayang i wasnt able to visit the Restaurant when i went to Palawan sime years ago
This Friendship is amazing, I love how this two lola's and lolo jun preserve there Frienship. Philippines and Vietnam have something in common and that is respect.
this is so heartwarming. The two ladies are like his elder sisters and Jun is like the little brother looking after his two Ates. What a blessed friendship.
That ending though 22:30 "they are my best friends... I wish for them to have a long life so I can spend more time with them... " he being younger than them both
This is so moving and touching. I cried watching this documentary. They are so blessed to have known each other for such a long time. May God bless them even more.
Im happy to see these two vietnamese having a good nd simple life in the phil. good friends are with them, they’re look satisfied of what they are now,life is getting more easier from them to adopt as they go older... it’s a heart felt story
Year 1994-95 I had known 2 Vietnamese men. Luk Lee and Long Than Dong(yonglou). They were nice and they knew how to speak English and Tagalog. They said they learned in Palawan. But we'd met in tandag Surigao del sur because they'd buy and sale business such as Saigon perfumes, Vietnamese slippers, umbrella, etc.
When I visited Palawan in 2019, there were quite a number of Vietnamese restaurants. Then, I learned that during the war, Philippines served as refuge to some of displaced Vietnamese. I hope that this kind friendship among ASEAN nations continue and may we continue to help each other. 🇵🇭❤🇻🇳
I’m literally crying while watching the whole video. It’s so heartwarming to hear and watch this story. Humans are indeed naturally good. No matter what race we are, I just hope that in the generations to come, may we be able to pass this kind of values and mindset. May we extend help without any conditions and without expecting any returns. May we all truly treat each other as brothers and sisters. If we all do this even in our own simple and little ways, I believe and hope that the future will have a much better place to live. Yeah, I’m still crying....😭
What a beautiful story. From all these horrifying events going on in the world right now; this is the kind of documentaries worth watching, simple, warm and happy. Thank you CNA!
What a heart warming story. Despite our differences in culture and/or background, in times of hardships, people like Jun and Sister pascal are there to help their fellow human beings. I hope everyone during those times found people similar to them and lived a comfortable life.
Thank you for sharing this video. I am from the Philippines and been working in Vietnam for 18 years. Vietnam is my 2nd country after the Philippines. The Vietnamese people are warm people. I didn't realised that while watching this video, there is a smile on my face. Thanks also to Kuya Jun for giving his support to these two amazing lola. May God continue to bless you all.
Loved the fact that there are no barriers - understanding can overcome the language. Filipino Pride! Proud to be Pinoy! Welcome as long as you act as a righteous person. But not all filipinos are the same.
Amazing story of 3 best friends, 1Filipino and 2 Vietnamese,Thanks Sir Jun your so great to look after them for showing that we Filipinos are very hospitable, Hoping you 3 stay together happily ever after, keep safe and God bless you 3 always.
So touching, so inspirational story. My tears was flowing while watching this. I love my Asean neighbors, I love Vietnam. You are welcome here in the Philippines.
The place was so beautiful, green scenery. I love the kindness of Filipino and I'm proud to the two ladies from vietnamese because of their friendship to jun. I hope for your healthy life, lived long.
This story just show how kindness and acceptance can break barriers❤️❤️ i gained so much respect for Vietnamese and filipino ppl for having a heart of gold ❤️
I have to been to Palawan three times. I am so coming to Viet Ville next time I am in Puerto Princesa. I hope to meet these wonderful people. I am bringing my friends from the USA, Japan, and Europe. What a touching story.
Thanks for sharing this. Hindi lang po sila ang manga Vietnamese na tinanggap ng ating gobyerno nong araw. Dahil naman dyan ginagalang din naman tayo ng maraming Vietnamese. Ganda po panoorin ng manga ganitong storya.
During the us-vietnam war, Vietnamese seek refuge in Philippines, and they are welcomed unlike other countries, same thing with the jews, Filipino loved to help no matter who you are
And even white Russians before.

I love the fact that both women call him kuya (elder brother) when in fact they are older by more than ten years. The bond between these people transcends barriers. Nakakainggit!
In Vietnamese culture, middle-aged or more people who are not blood-related would call each other "anh" (elder brother) or "chị" (elder sister) to express respect to each other, regardless of their real age. In my observation, people usually practice that after having their (first) child married. FYI.
@@elepfly woah! The word for Elder brother and Sister in Vietnam sounds like the same here in the Philippines. Especially the word "Chi"
In my home state of Sarawak in Malaysia, kuya means "says he or says her or says them. Bla bla bla, says he
A very respectful culture of Filipinos. To call you Kuya or Ate regardless of age but a sign of respect
In america Kuya is just brother. It usually used by Filipinos or non-Filipinos who are in the click.
Refugees that are Russians,
Refugees that are Jewish,
Refugees that are Vietnamese,
And many more...

We Filipinos can also eat the food you mentioned but not in a regular meal those who like only but not cat.
What a touching story to tell between 2 different cultures. We should love and care for each other, like Jesus Christ who offered Himself for us & to become like us- to restore Eternal life.
Bok Choi Toc Wah Amen brother.
Amen 😇😇😇
The two old Vietnamese ladies are delightful, but the hero for meof this wonderful story is Kuya Jun. He represented Filipinos very well and all the traditional values we hold dear, friendliness, kindness, selflessness, and best of all, loyalty. Well done Kuya!
Sana mabigyan kayo ng panginoon ng mahabang buhay... Pagpalain kayo nawa .🙏😇
True friendship that transcends borders, languages and time. Real Best Friends for Life. Friendship so timeless and so priceless indeed! Thank you CNA for featuring such invaluable, meaningful and memorable friendship between two cultures.
May GOD Bless them and their whole families always! Their friendship is so pure!
joseltp YES besides the Vietmanes are our neighbors. :)
This is the true definition of FRIENDSHIP.
Such beautiful souls. This world needs more people like these three. Their love for each other is so pure.
It would be a beautiful and wonderful world indeed!
Cute namang ng frienship nila. Hope na tumaas pa ang kanilang mga buhay para masulit talaga nila ng todo ang pag stay nila sa PH.
I'm wondering about those dislikes... only thing I see is a beautiful story.
those are commies
Probably millenials born Aquino era. They have these kind of mentality of "ow we are being invaded by the chinese now or we are a province of china now." We dont have such mentality back then. If these refugees came today, it would have been "ow we are being invaded by vietnamese now...".
@@MrSinfulm3 Maka millenial ka dyan gago. Ano ka kano? Generations are not a real thing.
@@MrSinfulm3 effect of bias media and textbooks they erased great history of Quezon and Quirino only the topic they want to discuss is Aquinos all about Aquinos who are corrupt.
@@MrSinfulm3 What do the Aquinos have to do with the dislikes?
One of the Philippines' best traits are their very welcoming and very hospitable nature.
Hoping that one day we all of Asia will rise as one because we are all brothers.
This is a beautiful story of humanity❤️👌
👍
I’m a Filipino but I love Vietnam because it’s very friendly with Vietnamese especially beautiful girls and also very special friendship, despite Indonesia was my favorite country with Indonesians buddies as my best friends of 2022 🇵🇭❤️🇻🇳🇮🇩
That's what friends of 3 are for! God bless po!! Sana magkasama pa kayong 3 for many more YEARS TO COME..
This is one of the best videos Ive watched in recent years! I also had a chance dining at their restaurant... the food was good and simple (as Vietnamese cuisine is about fresh and healthy food). Then I ordered a Bahn Mi to go... eating it at the hotel was one of the best memories of Palawan for me! I still want to go back... I hope to meet with three the next time.
If any of you gets to visit Puerto Princesa in Palawan, do visit the former Vietnamese Refugee Center’s restaurant... patronising their food is supporting them thru their livelihood. Its also located in this lush forested area by the beach.... It gives you this lovely feeling if being in nature! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Kudos Channel News Asia for this wonderful video and series! ❤️
Thank you for your support! Check out other episodes of Across ASEAN here if you haven't - th-cam.com/play/PLbnMTcZEga8R6rbRM1C8z5XdFtG1FItDK.html :)
Wow platonic love between two cultures. Love it
Kya nga eh buti di nadevelop s isa s mga ladies
Mariah carey??????????
What a beautiful, touching story! I am Filipino and I like Vietnamese people too. I love the part where Jun says he learned to love vegetables from eating Vietnamese food. 😊
I am Vietnamese and I love you too
@@kzamno1 lol
I’m Vietnamese and I don’t like Pinoys.
I love you guys ❤️
Happiness is not where we are. It's who we are with. I wish them a happy and long life of happiness.
So true
Teary eyed... I am very proud of my helpful fellow Filipinos.
ang linis nila magluto
Ikaw lng ang tagalog dto a haha
Depends sa person lang yan
I think mas marami kasing gulay kesa karne sa cuisine nila :)
freshness kasi ng pagkain ang focus sa cuisine nila eh
Gusto ko puntahan pag nauwi ako sa pinas
I was just smiling the whole time. Their friendship is very heartwarming. I wish I can visit the restaurant after the ECQ.
Same😭❤️
9:38 When she speak English, Tagalog, Vietnamese in one sentence. Thats so cute to hear
This kind of content makes ASEAN people more connected. This story is moving. Thnx for sharing.
Lets go ASIA united as one by blood and by heart. Im crying!!
This story makes me happy i also have a Vietnamese friend. 🇵🇭❤️🇻🇳
Despite all that has been happening to the country for the last few decades, I am still proud that I was born here. It is such a pride to be a Filipino!
I'm so happy to have foreign friends near the Philippines like it made me realized that real relationship s not really about blood after all. We ASEANS could've been better if our relationships are just like supporting each other's tv shows/drama/movies. More power to us 😍
I had a chance to visit Viet Ville Restaurant in Palawan last year and the food were so delicious. Two years ago, I went on a leisure travel to Vietnam (Ho Chi Min and Ha Long Bay) and I find the Vietnamese people so friendly. I would love to go back in Vietnam again soon.
will always return to vietnam for food.
"Some friendships are so strong they can even transcend lifetimes." Wow I hope makakita din akong nang ganitong friend/s.
/s = sarcadm right?
Avatar rukko is that you?
@@marionpelias652 hahahahaha sakto kaka rewatch ko lang ng avatar
we need this kind of stories everyday.. Bless our vietnamese lolas! Kuya Lolo, hinay hinay s pagbuhat.
I cry watching this video. I am a Filipino yes I love Vietnamese people I meet a Vietnamese in Cebu he so nice and I fall inlove with him but I'm hiding my feelings to him because he is my friend. I care about him. Vietnamese people are so cute and friendly.
after 3 years i am still crying and joyful watching this .... ive worked with vietnamese in the PRPC Camp in Bataan for more than 5 YEARS and my life has never been the same again. I miss my vietnamese students and i still have some connection with them thru FB . Sayang i wasnt able to visit the Restaurant when i went to Palawan sime years ago
This Friendship is amazing, I love how this two lola's and lolo jun preserve there Frienship. Philippines and Vietnam have something in common and that is respect.
What a beautiful story of friendships.. thank you for sharing
this is so heartwarming. The two ladies are like his elder sisters and Jun is like the little brother looking after his two Ates. What a blessed friendship.
ugh I cried, such a beautiful story
Don't cry.. If your a Vietnamese.. as a Filipino we will always welcome and love you..
She's Korean, i reckon. But yeah, it IS a beautiful story.
@@pa-igit-igitnapautot-utotp553 The story is too heartwarming that it would make you cry. This is tears of joy.
Touching story.. true meaning of "we are one in this world".
It’s like a movie, very inspirational true to life story.
That ending though 22:30 "they are my best friends... I wish for them to have a long life so I can spend more time with them... " he being younger than them both
Friendship transcends barriers. What a lovely story of true friendship and love!
This is so moving and touching. I cried watching this documentary. They are so blessed to have known each other for such a long time. May God bless them even more.
such an inspiring story of true friendship. i wish all three of them long, healthy and happy lives.
i wish all asean countries shall deepen thier relationship to one another to avoid conflict in the future, after all ,we are all asians.
the watcher except china they are bully.
Ahh this video was so wholesome and pure! I loved that Anh and Minh still preserved their vietnamese culture.
What an amazing story of love and friendship 🇻🇳🇵🇭❤️
Love Vietnamese food... one of my favourite is Pho 🍲 very healthy, not much oil, unlike other Asian food.
Its a rare story about two countries with one message to us all LOVE.
Im happy to see these two vietnamese having a good nd simple life in the phil. good friends are with them, they’re look satisfied of what they are now,life is getting more easier from them to adopt as they go older... it’s a heart felt story
Year 1994-95
I had known 2 Vietnamese men. Luk Lee and Long Than Dong(yonglou). They were nice and they knew how to speak English and Tagalog. They said they learned in Palawan. But we'd met in tandag Surigao del sur because they'd buy and sale business such as Saigon perfumes, Vietnamese slippers, umbrella, etc.
During the rebuilding years after the war only Philippines have opened the doors for refugees from Russia, Israel and other nationalities.
Can you eloborate more..
Google it
Siguro miss na din nila lola ang family nila sa Vietnam sana makabisita sila or makabalik kung gusto pa nila
Ryandel Sequihod sana nga pero karamihan sa kanila hirap na sa paghahanap ng mga relatives nila sa vietnam dahil sa genocide non..maraming nanamatay
Nakakabisita naman daw sila lola mihn at anh sa mga relatives nila, sabi ng anak ni lola anh.
Pero feel ko mas prefer na nilang tumira sa Pilipinas
What I admired most of the Vietnamese people are their bravery and strong nationalism....sana yun ang makuha ng mga Pilipino sa kanila...
friendship that transcends time and culture diversity.. love this video.. very inspiring
When I visited Palawan in 2019, there were quite a number of Vietnamese restaurants. Then, I learned that during the war, Philippines served as refuge to some of displaced Vietnamese. I hope that this kind friendship among ASEAN nations continue and may we continue to help each other. 🇵🇭❤🇻🇳
I’m literally crying while watching the whole video. It’s so heartwarming to hear and watch this story. Humans are indeed naturally good. No matter what race we are, I just hope that in the generations to come, may we be able to pass this kind of values and mindset. May we extend help without any conditions and without expecting any returns. May we all truly treat each other as brothers and sisters. If we all do this even in our own simple and little ways, I believe and hope that the future will have a much better place to live. Yeah, I’m still crying....😭
Mahusay parin silang magtagalog! Nakakatuwa naman. That’s what friends are for! In good time and bad time, they’ll always with each other.
What a beautiful story. From all these horrifying events going on in the world right now; this is the kind of documentaries worth watching, simple, warm and happy. Thank you CNA!
What a heart warming story. Despite our differences in culture and/or background, in times of hardships, people like Jun and Sister pascal are there to help their fellow human beings. I hope everyone during those times found people similar to them and lived a comfortable life.
Thank you for sharing this video. I am from the Philippines and been working in Vietnam for 18 years. Vietnam is my 2nd country after the Philippines. The Vietnamese people are warm people. I didn't realised that while watching this video, there is a smile on my face. Thanks also to Kuya Jun for giving his support to these two amazing lola. May God continue to bless you all.
Loved the fact that there are no barriers - understanding can overcome the language.
Filipino Pride!
Proud to be Pinoy!
Welcome as long as you act as a righteous person. But not all filipinos are the same.
Amazing story of 3 best friends, 1Filipino and 2 Vietnamese,Thanks Sir Jun your so great to look after them for showing that we Filipinos are very hospitable, Hoping you 3 stay together happily ever after, keep safe and God bless you 3 always.
So touching, so inspirational story. My tears was flowing while watching this. I love my Asean neighbors, I love Vietnam. You are welcome here in the Philippines.
The place was so beautiful, green scenery. I love the kindness of Filipino and I'm proud to the two ladies from vietnamese because of their friendship to jun. I hope for your healthy life, lived long.
I like the sound of how the two women speak Taglish (Tagalog-English) while retaining their Vietnamese accent.
Vietnamese people are one of the most nicest people I’ve seen. Love from a filipino american.
I was cried the last part.
If only the people live like this.
So simple and just pure.
This story just show how kindness and acceptance can break barriers❤️❤️ i gained so much respect for Vietnamese and filipino ppl for having a heart of gold ❤️
I have to been to Palawan three times. I am so coming to Viet Ville next time I am in Puerto Princesa. I hope to meet these wonderful people. I am bringing my friends from the USA, Japan, and Europe. What a touching story.
Ang cute nila magtagalog. Im filo but i think Vietnamese food are the tastiest out there, filo is a close second 😊
Im so proud of mr jun. you are truly a gem. Bibihira lang ang kagaya mo sa mundong eto. 👍👍godbless you po.
Thanks for sharing this.
Hindi lang po sila ang manga Vietnamese na tinanggap ng ating gobyerno nong araw.
Dahil naman dyan ginagalang din naman tayo ng maraming Vietnamese.
Ganda po panoorin ng manga ganitong storya.
pure and true bond transcends race and language. ❤️ beautiful people ❤️
I hope to find this kind of beautiful friendship

Hi, I am puti. But you can call me jun.😊
