    Nelly, I'm so glad you came across this video. While watching your review, I felt the same emotions I felt when I saw the video for the first time. It brought tears to my eyes. Tony's experience is much the same as that of my Filipino friends in Hawaii. As a student at the University of Hawaii, I couldn't understand how they could feel that way. I had nothing but admiration for the Filipinos I knew because of the beautiful character they possessed. As a result, I got more involved in the Filipino community and learned as much as I could about the culture, which only solidified my beliefs about them. I was told by some of my friends that my desire to be a part of their community got them to feel pride in being Filipino, which I am humbled by. No Filipino should feel anything but a healthy pride in their heritage. My heart swells with love for the Filipino people, and I'm appreciative for the way they have welcomed me into their community.💗
    Aloha at Mabuhay!🤙

    I use to be like this guy when I was younger in the Philippines, then when I moved to Los Angeles I had this history teacher who was an ex America G.I., who taught me filipino pride. He told me that if it wasn't for filipinos Americans would be speaking Japanese and we will be in Japanese rule. So now I am proud to be filipino, and I am grateful to the filipinos who fought in 2nd world War who kept the Japanese at bay in the Philippines.

      Anyways when I was growing up in the Philippines I was bullied and made fun of all the time, because I did not look filipino. Because my ancestors were all migrants who came to the Philippines in search of a better life. My ancestors came from Europe, Spain, Italy, North America, Mexico, China, and I was born and spend 14 years of my life in the Philippines. Then at the age of 14 we went back to America.

      @@dominicbustamante730 , I was born and raised in the Philippines. I don’t think they bullied people from any of those countries you mentioned. I’m sure you’re just another liar who keep giving negative advertisements about the Philippines and why this guy in the video became ashamed of his Philippine ancestry.

    I'm a Filipina and I deeply value the videos you continue to share, THANK YOU. As a teacher and dual citizen in the US, I have not forgotten our hospitable nature as Filipinos. I take pleasure in preparing Filipino dishes like Adobo and Bihon (dry noodles), Caldereta, and Escabeche to share with my colleagues. It is my hope that we all learn to respect and appreciate other cultures.

    I'm proud to be filipino, I'm Canadians citizens now and filipino as well because of my dual citizenship. I love being canadian now, but I can't give up my filipino roots. I always going back to my hometown in Oriental Mindoro. Yes it's true, our culture and traditions wherever we go still with us. We're easily to adopt other culture too. I met different nationalities coz I worked in middle east Riyadh. I received many compliments from them. They said we're so different from others.

    First it’s really nice of sharing this Nelly. However this guys describing the boat people actually came by plane. So start describing like so we’re not boat people. I came in the 40 years ago this year. Me and two of my sister’s landed in New York, flew in by plane. With just clothes of our back. This just should stereotyping us. I visited the Philippines back and forth. But our last time we were there it was the worst experienced for me and my family which separated us. I’m back in the US and my youngest and my eldest is with my wife in the P. l. We left behind it’s because family on my wife side of the family did us wrong and made my youngest son torn and ultimately came back with me in the US. Him and his brother were threatened and harassed by neighbors and some are family that didn’t defend them. So I got into a fight for my children against the towny but I didn’t care I need to protect my family and I was ready to die for them.
