- Canadian Parents In The Philippines? Yes! They are my parents, and they are visiting me in my home! For our first adventure I took them to Ilocos Norte, where they had the chance to experience some Ilocano culture. And in this case...
THEIR FIRST EVER FILIPINO FESTIVAL!
Welcome to the Guling-Guling Festival in Paoay, Ilocos Norte! Also known as the "smearing celebration".
This festival is a celebration just before Lenten season here in the Philippines. The whole town of Paoay comes together, sings, dances, and "smears" rice on their heads in the sign of a cross. It is a very Catholic Festival that has been going on for hundreds of years, and I was so happy to also have the opportunity to experience this for my first time!
Filipino Festivals are A LOT OF FUN, and full of good vibes! In fact, my parents were talking about parades back home, and comparing with what they were experiencing here!
What did my Canadian parents think of it!?
Well, just watch the video, and see how it went!
Ilocano, Filipino, Guling-Guling... FESTIVALS PA MORE!
Power On!

Incredible seeing everyone come together, and incredible seeing my parents respond to what was around them :)
So awesome to watch you guys having fun, I'm sure this day will be talked about for some time within your family : @ )
I thought you're a half Pinoy Kulas! Surprised when I learned lately that you're not! Anyways hope your dear parents enjoy their stay in the Phil's...

Kulas..pila ka adlaw ang imong parents sa pilipinas??..i hope mag enjoy cla
I’m so happy for you! I know this means so much to you having your parents experience first hand things you love.🥰😍
You didn't just highlight your parents enjoying the festival but you highlighted the beautiful place of Ilocos! Your shots are amazing!!
The father and son moment on the bench is worthy of a still photo
That is so true. One of the highlights.
17:13 SOUND LIKE I AM LISTENING TO SIMBA Soundtrack, amazing my talented kabayans.
the paoay church is majestic.
Kyle !The group who sang The Circle of Life make me cry they are really are talented and amazing to hear that kind of singers ..OH IT make me miss home .Thank you for sharing this with us..
Emma Creeger the group is called samiweng singers
@@rafaeljanaguite9118 Thank you I really appreciate the info .
A beautiful Place where I grew up as a kid with my Ilocano Father, whew. nice. Regards to your Mom & Dad..
Every filipino is missinh cultural dance now. That is the kind of street dance i want to see.. You can see the filipino conservativeness in the old times
Becoming a Filipino goes up north 👋👍☺️
LUZON VIBES! :) APIR!
It's kulas's second time. 🤗
Nice to see your parents bonding with you in Ilocos Norte. Ilocanos are known to be one of the most traditionally closely _knit group of people although all Filipinos in reality are the most family oriented. Enjoy yourselves and God bless.
Proud to be Ilocano here! Thank you for showing us the proud Ilocano tradition.. :) Made me smile the whole video and love your family's reaction. more power to your channel bro
Oh wow, Ilocos has a lot to offer with culture, love and heritage. They are one of the most gentle and hospitable people in the Philippines. Mabuhay and have fun xx
been there 1997 to 1998, my best friend got married there, we used to go to this place. those were the days...Laoag , Laoag , Laoag
Man..the singing choir brought me goosebumps all over my body.
Your dad is the coolest you mom dance so well lovely parents nice personalities amazing experience for them so proud of my country❤️🇵🇭
If this is my vacation wth my parents, I would say, it’s the most memorable. Thanks for showing your parents the wonderful culture of the Philippines.
"The Circle of Life" performance was the highlight of your vlog! Such a talented choir!

#20yrsinu.s.a
😭😭😭😭😭😭
I got goosebumps on the choir performing ‘circle of life’🙂
I'm speechless d festival is simply beyond amazing. The music, d dancers, colorful costumes n d spectators are awesome. Kyle l love ur dad's humor...but I tell u what ur Mom n friends their attention were focused on d dancing n singing of d participants. Love d HHWW n d brief dance w/Therine, Kyle that was romantic. And last "Dad do u like my gf?" Therine was stunned a bit embarrassed...lol n then Dad said yes w/emphasises...n u said yes w/c sounds victorious. Way to go Kyle...
Tnx 4 d highlighted comment from someone...
Got me watching the choir more than 10 times and wow just wow!! Fantastic that lead singer stole the show 👏👏👏👏
My hometown is the nearby Batac....Paoay is much closer to where I lived. .Thank u,Kulas for showcasing the culture of Paoay....I can smell the air in my mind...
I miss Ilocos, I've been in Paoay 2 years ago , thinking of going back for this summer season, It feels like you are in Spanish time, the houses, the food and the local people. Thanks for sharing this video Kulas, enjoy your stay with your family and friends, enjoy Ilocos...
This is one of your best vlog so far. Good festival, good location and good music. And to top it all, your parents with you to share this wonderful memories.
I'm really thankful, I'm an Ilokano this made me proud thank you! I know Ilokano culture will not die because we are proud of it and we will always be. Hope other tribes also do the same they are getting shy of their blood and now forgetting their culture and language.
It was a great choir performance, voices, sounds blends well.. I think it was your best vlog up north.
ilocos northy so beautiful I enjoy watching the traditional dance with a traditional dresses,that group singers are amazing..
With that beautifully restored church behind the open stage, you wouldn't really need anymore backdrop... such a treasure!
This makes me miss my family in the Philippines. Always love the energy and inspiration from your vlog kulas. We Filipino people always love you.
watching from Vietnam
The choir is so good. I will have goosebumps if I see them live.
oh the best Festival celebration sa mga ilocano diyan' Awesome Place
That"s what is good about the philippines. From north to south, you will experience different traditions, dialects, and festivals. Good job Kulas.
That church is very beautiful. And so with the traditional presentations, it is so unique from other festivals in the Philippines. I have not seen this from other videos or even on television.... Thanks for sharing. I can see your beautiful parents really enjoy this trip in todays vlog... So many highlights i love it, to mention the choir wow they are really good. Ingat kayo.
Thanks!

I do remember my high school days, we used to dance on that kind of music before....what a good and pleasant memories...thanks Kyle
I’ve been to Ilocos a few times but I’ve never been immersed in Ilocano culture this way. So amazing. Thank you Kyle.
Filipino festivals are one of the greatest festival on earth,,enjoy watching our culture Kulas and your family too.
I almost cried watching this video, talking to your dad regarding his experience in the Philippine. More power to you...
Beautiful Family Blessed!❤️😇👍
On behalf of the Filipino blooded citizens of the world, let me say - WE ARE PROUD OF YOU AND YOU'RE NOT ONLY "BECOMING FILIPINMO" but you're MORE THAN A FILIPINO !
My family and I have been watching your vlog for the last five years and I can surely and confidently say - you have traveled and advertised positively the Philippines MORE THAN ANY regular Filipino, both civilian and public official . . . . Keep up the good work and God be with you always..... Be safe !
Day 4!!! - Mom is having a good time. Wonderful!!!
Wow! I come from Ilocos Sur but did not know of this festival until I watched this video. Thank you Kyle ❤️
Such a wonderful Festival!
You're parents are having a blast of pinoy culture..
@@appellemoipaul3596 The choid did sing Ilocano songs during the program. What you saw on this vlog is just an impromptu performance for Kulas' family. 👍
@@appellemoipaul3596 dude, no bad words here.. Just good vibes.. Your just jealous.. Buzz off..
If you come to the Philippines, you will know that Philippine culture is a mix of Spanish, American pop, Chinese, and malay culture. Where do u think that Philippines name came from? Haha.. Its from spanish influence.. So singing circle of life is not surprising at all than singing Joy to the world Christmas songs.. Dont u know we have tbe longest Christmas season in the world? And its part of the Philippine culture and tradition already.. So visit the Philippines first, then you'll understand our culture.. Now if telling me circle of life is an American culture, then why I see it so different fron tne real American ( culture) Indians songs? Did u get it? And besides, they where just singing that song for their modern guests....
Your paremts are lucky to have you, showing all the beautiful ,places i n the phil. With Theren who look so lovely in all her outfit simple but elegant atrue filipina beauty to be to introduce to your parents.
You took me to Ilocos,Kulas :) I'm millions of miles away,from Philadelphia,Pennsylvania USA..So far these is the BEST video you've ever done (for me.in my opinion)..Love to see you Mom & Dad having fun...

Thanks Kulas for introducing me to this Ilocos Norte festival. I'm originally from Ilocos Sur and have never heard of this beautiful festival in Paoay. Great job!!
Naragsak nga piesta yu dita lakay.. Always proud ilocano here...
Hi kuya kulas
Very nice!!🤙🤙👏👏 ilocos norte is our province kuya kulas! Theirs so many to visit in ilocos, kuya kulas must try the chicacorn.. enjoy staycation in ilocos! Thank you for your visiting our province! Always take care and godbless.
Thank you Kyle and family! I am so emotional watching this video and gearing one more time the Ilocano favorite songs! My elementary teachers used to teach these songs and music to even though if we were in Mindanao! I also feel nostalgic thinking about Former President Marcos, he maybe a dictator according to history, but he bhuil the Butuan/ Cagayan De Oro- Iligan National Hiway! He comes from Ilocos and seeing all these in your video gives me joy at the same time some regrets why I didn’t dare visit this beautiful place of the Ilocanos! Mabuhay ka Kyle! So happy for your family!
A great experience to share with your parents. And the fiesta was well planned and prepared. It's so nice to see the traditional and colorful filipino attires. Support FILIPINIANA. ♥️
My first time. To see what ilocos looks like and the amazing local tradition from the spanish era❤️❤️👽
Yeah that is true. I wonder why this festival is not being shown on national tv...
@@bluesnowconeplays5362 It's probably because Ilocos Norte is where the Marcoses are from. Mainstream media don't like the Marcoses.
Thanks to social media. We get to see these things nowadays. 👍👍👍❤❤
@@tierraciellophcyeah o remember, what i only see is the body of F. Marcos on tv.
I think all of us enjoying seeing your share the Philippines with your parents. They so open to the culture and not afraid to jump in with you.
My mom is from Ilocos Sure, and I haven’t been there. I love the video. I’m glad your parents and their friends enjoying Philippines ❤️.
Fantastic!! And the joy continues, what else is there to be more exciting that having your closer treasures near you and enjoying them, your parents and your lover and friends that are helping you in making this magical time very especial in a country you love and share with the world. Enjoy to the max, kyle...there is much more coming up....
that stairs in 17:45 is everywhere in Spain. Thank you Kulas for showing this episode of Filipino tradition which was influenced by Spaniards. People there really look like Spanish when they dress up, just like the Nanays. You and Therine are so cute and your parents are soo amazing. Power on!
I’m glad that your parents and friends are enjoying this great experience in Ilocos. Proud of you Kulas. I kinda missed my parents watching this video. Enjoy and God Bless you all. Your parents are awesome. 👍🏽
