PAGPAG, eating GARBAGE in the Philippines "Worst Slum" Happyland, Tondo 🇵🇭

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 21 พ.ค. 2024
- Tondo Manila, Philippines 🇵🇭 - "Happyland" named after hapilan, which translates to "smelly garbage" was today's destination. After multiple locals told me not to go in over the past months, I was getting a bit uncomfortable while entering it, but that changed very quickly as we got so warmly welcomed by all (except for one) people living there.

Sam deserves a million followers
Haha thanks, I'm happy if we can tick the box for the 10k soon 😁
Hats off to you for eating “pag pag” and for being brave exploring around Tondo. To tell you, in the Philippines people who are needy are the most kind and honest people but still take care of yourself and be aware of your surroundings.
They were super nice. I'm glad that I visited. Of course, always taking care 😊👍
Heyo Sam. I don't know what to say because I have a lot on my mind after this video. If there were more people with a character like yours, the world would be a better place. The way you treated everyone was amazing. It seems like people in Happyland are happier than most people in our hometown. And yeah, huge respect for trying Pagpag.
Thank you so much, appreciate your words :) they are truly happy, sad what we complain about sometimes...
i like this man👋💪 this kind of vlogger need to support in yt.. thumbs up bro

People in Tondo are really friendly. Glad you enjoyed it, man. Keep hitting us with this vlogs. Cheers!

The boy said "nakakapagod" meaning "it's so tiring" and then he introduced his grandma. The "feeding program" is helping the people with food who can't afford and to provide meals to children to help with hunger as well as adults
Thanks you 👍

Thanks for the acknowledgement, that's why I put those 2 videos back to back, shows you the differences that aren't far apart from each other

I 🫡 you Sam for your humbleness and openness to try “pagpag”. I went to school in tondo from kindergarten to high school and have lots of great memories there. Thank you for featuring the beautiful and the other side of the PH. Maraming Salamat and Mabuhay!
A pleasure to give recognition to those people as well, it was a pleasant experience, ever though it was hard to see and to except that you as an individual can only do little to help. But anyway, super kind people 😊 thanks

Its not dangerous place theyre just poor people they are friendly thats why they called it Happy land, inspite of hungerness they have a positive outlook
They were so friendly 😊
Ingat po bro dyan lugar tondo Hindi lahat lugar at Tao safe ingat Ka lage magsama Ka ISA pinoy sa paglalakbay mo proteksyon Lang God bless you bro all adds no skip😊
Thanks for your concern, but I actually felt safe there. We surely have more dangerous neighbourhoods back home
@@SimsimsamTravels always take care bro magsama Ka isa pinoy paglalakbay mo para sure safe Ka lage
That water from el nido built your resistance up to be able eat pag pag 🤣 and it was so kind of you to donate money. Those kids who guided you were so nice as well❤️….but woah I’m glad the situation with that drunk guy didn’t escalate 😳
Yes, I'm immune now 😂 such nice kids, bless them
Kapoy means tired
OMg I'm speechless...I myself can't take it since I have very sensitive digestion. Hope youre alright after eating it
Yes, I was all good after that 😊 thanks
You deserve more followers 💯💯💯
Ps: the kid said your nose is pointed not big😅
Thank you 😊😊
Ah ok 🤥
Whoa, You’re wild for this one bro ! You’re the first vlogger I ever witness to do this 😮. Man ! Respect bro 🙏🏼but at the same time I’m hoping you stay healthy 😅. Couldn’t get myself to do that even for the tube !😂
Pag-pag means “To Dust it off”
Thank you, I just wanted to put myself in their shoes a little and eat what they have to.
Thanks for the translation 🙌
And yeah, I had no issue afterwards 👍
@@SimsimsamTravels Keep up the good work. I wish you the best brother. Ingat (stay safe) 🙏🏼 Godspeed
Be careful with water Sam!!!
Yeah I know, I had my experience 🙈
Sorry for that one drunk dude. you know, He's under the influence but don't worry you can manhandle that man. lol! Also, I'm speechless when you ate that pagpag. Oh Sammy!
Haha yes, there is always one 🤷♂️ sure, but happy I did not have to do anything about him. Haha, one experience richer, and no tummy issues 😁
Pagpag is a cultural food there in Tondo, Manila
You definitely look like AQUAMAN! HAHAHAHA
😂😂 knock off version
Oh man! I’m a Filipino, but I will never try that. We don’t know where they got that scrap food. But anyway, just be careful please.
That is true, but I wanted to experience it myself.
PS: don't trust restaurants either then, I've seen bad stuff in some
Sam, you are one hell of a vlogger to try that nastyness, “pag-pag“....you are brave for trying it. I hope you don’t get sick. I can’t imagine eating someone elses garbage. 🤮🤮🤮
Thank you for donating to the one’s in need. I just don’t understand why those Filipino celebrities living next door in Makati and BGC haven’t done anything to help those people. They can atleast free up that area where the garbage just lays there. Maybe it’s easier said than done. I don’t know🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
I worked in hospitality a few times, and food + prep and storage in some places 😂 you'd rather eat pag-pag. Don't trust all those restaurants 😁 but yeah, I wanted to get at least a little into the experience those people have to go through every day
Ach ja, ein Glück hattest du das Jordan Shirt nicht an 😬
😂😂😂
it is so amazing that you tried it. You are more filipino than most filipinos.
Thank you 🙌 was a good experience to eat what they have to resort to on a daily bases
Not being mean, but are you trying to say that he is more Filipino than me because I don’t eat pagpag? Just letting you know, this is not a Filipino food and you don’t say that To Filipinos. And that is not even considered a food. You don’t know where it came from, if it’s contaminated by dangerous chemicals and who eat it.
You are right, it's not recommended to eat it. It was my personal decision to try.
I think it's meant to say that I experienced some "culture" that a lot of Filipinos haven't even experienced. Don't take it to literal 😊
@@SimsimsamTravels exactly, im also filipino but my thought was understood literally.
That pagpag thing even only exist in Manila. Never in other parts of the Philippines
@@jadezworld4826 ngl, you just used the word literally after Sam made the comment. your real thought is very clear, don't lie.
i can't wrap my head around this content
Why is that?
@@SimsimsamTravels what is the objective of showcasing such an area? a ghetto, rough and tough area, illegal settlement. and the title, it can create a stereotypical thinking that filipinos in general eat garbage right off the bat. poor people around the world even in western countries go dumpster diving and eat garbage. others just rely on the needle to get by. any plan on making a content about that and possibly try it yourself? i'm not mad or anything. i watch your videos and i like it for the most part. i just don't get this... ahh, of course... clicks and engagement! haha... as they say, anything for a quick buck
@@SimsimsamTravels what's the objective of showcasing such an area, a ghetto, rough and tough neighborhood, illegal settlement. and the title... it can create a stereotypical thinking that ALL filipinos eat garbage. people having a rough and tough life all over the world, even in western societies, go dumpster diving to look for food. some even rely on the needle to get by. any plan on making a content about that? it's the same idea. i'm not mad or anything. i watch your videos and like the most part. this just rubbed me in a different way and it makes me sad to see people in such situation. anything for the clicks and engagement, huh. anything for a quick buck.
@@jaypeetee2790 it's already a stereotype (and u don't even know as a filipino..) ur not even in our country, and insults someone for trying.
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.
I remember also Sonny of Best ever food review show eating pag pag.Im not rich but for me to think eating rubbish food i dont think i can.But salut to the people who keep trying just to survive.
Yes, I've seen his video. Love him going around and trying everything.
I totally understand, it's just my curiosity and hunger for experience 😊
@@SimsimsamTravels yeah but mostly of the people who eat food from the rubbish they are not easily get sick they have strong immune system😅.Enjoy your travel and keep safe
Kuya good evening 👋😃
👋
I want to try pagpag also
Pagpag has a cultural significance in Tondo, Manila
It tasted like a normal dish, you can eat regular chicken inasal or adobo 👍
I WANT PAGPAG BECAUSE I THINK ITS DELICIOUS THE HAPPY LAND PEOPLE LOVE TO EAT PAGPAG
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm sad that some Filipinos are they didn't respect foreigners... I hated those guy that he want you to buy a drink alcohol...
But more then 99% were good to us :) unfortunately there is always one, no mater where you go
You’ve been to the slum area of Tondo, where they have the “Smokey mountain” or mountain of garbage there. It’s true that Manila is not all the beautiful places around at Roxas Blvd, Pasay, and the new city of BGC. It’s been there way back before all the developments in Manila and most of the people there are squatters who built their houses just to survive in Manila coming from provinces where there are no jobs and find a fortune in Manila for a living. Thanks for sharing a little bit of money that makes them happy.
Thanks for acknowledging it 🙏
I suggest don’t drink any juice because the water they use might not be filtered. Good you haven’t have stomach problem or food poisoning incident. Be careful.
Stomach was alright after Tondo, unlike my trip to El Nido 😅 but you are right, thanks
the heat here right now is unbearable even for a pinoy
I hope it will get a little better soon
🙏🏽🙏🏽💙
For the Algorithm
🫡
I’m not eating off the street when I get there. Can’t do it……….I’m sorry.
That's totally fine, I tried it fir the experience only. But they do have a food market called UGBO night market there
if ee filipinos offered u a shot of wine,,as a good gesture you should buy a bottle of wine and we will appreciate it so much..its a good gesture to mix with us
Good to know 😊 thanks
Hi Sam , the little girl says you have a long nose, not big.
🤥🤥🤥
That guy is drunk as f .. hahaha dont worry bout him
Yeah I know, but I didn't wanna start trouble 😅
Kapoy means tired hahaha im not sure if thats bisaya but its not tagalog heheh

Looked like it 😂 but was definitely strong alcohol
Praying for you

Yari ka jan yang matanda lalaki yang yung nasa kungfu hustle

I think so too. But many many locals told me differently about it before
@@SimsimsamTravels yeah you all lucky you leave the area complete body parts and no spill of blood hahaha btw... PAGPAG means 'shake off' the way of collecting pagpag they shake off the dirt.... and kapoy means you exhausted

Kapoy means tired that is bisaya language 😂

Its PagPag not PekPek😂
It's just the accent 😉
Hallo Sam! Es war sehr lieb von dir, Geld für die Kinder zu spenden. 👍💯 Wir haben auch die Erfahrung gemacht, dass die Menschen umso freundlicher sind, je ärmer sie sind. 🫶 Wir haben auch Geld an eine Kirche in Puerto Princesa gespendet, wo die armen Kinder der Stadt Essen bekommen. Wir wurden eingeladen, um 17 Uhr wieder zum Gottesdienst zu kommen und haben dann gesehen, wie die Kinder ihr tägliches Essen bekommen. Es hat mir das Herz erwärmt, aber ich habe auch geweint, denn das Leid der Kinder live zu sehen, war wirklich schwer zu ertragen. Alle Kinder sind gekommen und haben uns ihren philippinischen Segen (blessing) gegeben. Sie haben gelächelt und sich sehr über das Essen gefreut. Auch wir haben uns gefreut, ihnen ein wenig helfen zu können, auch wenn es nur ein Tropfen auf dem heißen Stein war. Weiter so Sam, deine Videos sind super! 💯👍😃
Ein wenig ist besser als gar nichts, und es ist immer schön zu sehen das sich Leute darüber freuen 😊 schön da ihr auch so denkt. Vielen Dank
Lieber Samy
Trinke mit Taty Sekt und schauen ein dieses Video von dir einer deiner Sätze bei uns von dir war häufig
Ich hasse Menschen wir finden du machst das wundervoll weiterhin alles Glück dieser Welt für dich ❤
Haha, ist auch immernoch so 😄 kommt nur drauf an 😁
Danke euch, ganz liebe Grüße an alle
dry fish is a bad smell but I tried it but dont cook u house the smell stays a week all families stick together the people are good many look at forigners as we rich when we not we just born a different country and grew up different ways our parents and grand parents had it hard there time and many also now with new prices changing also filipinos in debt and dont have much only enough to survive locals swim there no choice but polluted they do there dishes piss in it everything
kapoy = tired. the kid said he's tired already. while the long hair old drunk guy is asking for money for drink. he said "tagay" meaning shot or drink like a shot of tequila. in early part of the video you had shots (tagay) with the locals. a mistake telling that guy that you gave money... in that area... smh. and when you were about to leave, by turning your back at him while he was not yet done talking to you, he felt disrespected. he said "sandali (wait/hold on), ayoko (short for "ayaw (don't like) ko (i)" meaning "i don't like) ng bastos (disrepectful/ being disrespected). majority are nice people, but definitely there are those who aren't.
Haha so was just joking about me 😁
Thanks for breaking it down. He was the first to be disrespectful, that's why I left.
@@SimsimsamTravels yuuup, not a good thing especially in that area. he looks like a neighborhood toughie/ bully (siga in tagalog)
I hope every vloggers who features Tondo and Pagpag on their videos will do their part to help other people long-term, do charitable work whether be it in the Philippines or in other less developed countries.
Otherwise, these vlogs are meaningless . It will just be another TH-cam video meant to gain income by using these people for content ro add up to views, likes and subscriptions.. Just saying.
Oh definitely, I love to help and give forward as much as my budget allows to. So views, likes and subs are off course gaining income, but so far it's only scratching the surface of what I'm spending to be transparent. This video actually cost me more than it earned 😄
If I earn and can give forward, it's a win for everyone 😊
yeah better learn some basic Tagalog...alcohol is alak...so don't say alcohol when buying alak otherwise they'll give you rubbing alcohol 😂😂😂
Haha, well it worked in the end 😂
You did not have to go this low to showcase the Philippines.
I don't think he is being low. He is just showing too the other "true side" of the Philippines.
What's low about giving those people that treated us kindly some recognition?
Just unsubscribed!
Bye 👋🏾
you gone too far, just unsubscribed... thanks for visiting our country.
By your country you talking about the tourist places or all of the Philippines? You were saying in previous comments to give more acknowledgement to the people and interact with locals. Seems like I misunderstood you 🤷♂️😄
