If fellow Filipinos keep electing corrupt politicians or celebrities who have no skill in governing, the country will never achieve the heights of Singapore or even Thailand. It is rich in natural resources and has skilled well educated work force but the brightest leave the country and work in 1st world countries for better opportunities. It is still a 3rd world country, just look at public transportation, garbage collection, the woeful airports, the slow WiFi speed, power shortages ( brown outs) and the horrific traffic. That's still the reality.
Slow wifi? It actually depends on what type of service you are paying. I'm from the province and my wifi here is even more fast that the wifi in my cousin house in Manila,. The thing is most people always get what is in promos and cost less but are expecting to have a very fast connection.
Fyi Philippines soon overtaken the economy of Thailand, Philippines economy is one of the fastest on earth and continuously growing and Phillippines GDP growth is above the GDP growth of Thailand in recent years so soon Philippines overtaken the economy of Thailand, there has traffic in Philippines because there have many many BIG infra projects are ongoing constructions all over Manila including the ambitious multi USBillion Dollar Hi - Speed SUBWAY train which is most modern in South East Asia and that's the massive progress in the Philippines, about wifi the wifi in Philippines is speed it's only depends on cost on what's you avail..in garbage Manila roads are always clean and neat because the garbage in Philippines is organized the garbage trucks in Metro Manila are always get the garbage in the streets every morning and evening so Manila roads are neat and clean..
Yes, they do a great job. I'm also a little impressed on there quality of dress and they demeanor. They hold themselves tall and proud and their clothing is spotless and perfect. I will also give them credit, it is hard to stand at a post for 8 hrs at a time. Me feet couldn't handle that, lol MERRY CHRISTMAS and thank you for the post. 😎💥💪🇵🇭🎄🎄
FYI that Chapel is there so people can hear mass on a Sunday. Filipinos are religiously going to hear mass every Sunday. You’ll notice if you visit a mall there’s usually a chapel on the top floor. SM malls will always be packed with people on a Sunday, where the people hear mass before malling around or go to the grocery. That has been part of the culture. There are 7 malls in BGC area.
That's excellent inside info MSalem! In America I have only seen one church in the basement of an old mall in NJ my whole life. I will take notice now when I visit malls and I will likely comment about your comment lol,, Salamat PO for your info my friend! ❤😮🙏🇵🇭💪
hahah, good thing,, imagine if you didn't know about the movies,,, hhhhhh,,, lol. Welcome Delta,, you will love it here. It takes a bit of a learning curve. My advice is relax, trust the process and enjoy the ride. MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🎄🎄🎄💥🚀❤
Third world, first world and second world are terms that divides countries based on their geopolitical alignment during the cold war. First world countries are those aligned with the NATO pact like the US, UK, France, etc while the second world countries belong to the Warsaw pact like USSR, East Germany, etc. Third world are simply those non-aligned countries like Philippines, Indonesia, even Switzerland. To accurately depict economic status of a country, the developed, developing, least developed are the appropriate terms.
Yes it is a nice mall and a great place to visit. Truth be told some of the other malls in Manila are HUGE,, third world? hehe. Not here anyway. Thanks for your comment Meannpera! 🎄❤
lol,, if you are serious,, man, the Megga mall and MOA mall are 10 to 20x bigger and insane inside and outside. MOA has the seaside. Thanks so much for your comment. I wish you safety in the old San Fan! BTW,, Check out MOA mall,, largest mall in Asia... here is my vid on it in Manila PH... MOA1: th-cam.com/video/5qmDPijlmdg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=sJqtm2_wVC7ZqKWY MOA2 th-cam.com/video/FMDJc2dNLtY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=u5FruA2L7L5u4pTq MERRY CHRISTMAS! ❤🎄🎄🍺
Yeah,, all my friends and family think this is the 3rd world,, lol. I will be hitting this topic hard. Tomorrow PART2, on the third world is releasing on the channel. I will also be comparing the "3rd world" youth ethics to the 1st world. Should be fun. SALAMAT PO TimeLapse! MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🎄🎄🎄❤😎💥🇺🇸🇵🇭
I wish my house is made of nipa hut because its way more cooler to live in than concrete house or a house made of wood which is very expensive. It does not mean if you live in a nipa hut youre poor. What a way of thinking 😅😅😅😅
I agree, our lifestyle choice often is not always a direct reflection of our economic status. For me, I always wanted to live in a simple log cabin on a mountain, Its a beautiful simple life but this in no way reflects my level of ambition for my goals and future plan. 🎄❤
Welcome to the channel! I hope you enjoy the trip with me! Im really grateful for your kind worlds my "LovingKindness0" friend ") MERRY CHRISTMAS and happy holidays! 🎄🎄💥😎
Actually you can't underestimate us here in Philippines. Progress of today is very handy. I mean as long as we have an internet connecton, we can even earn thousand of dollars thru digital technology. The mere fact that we have cellphones, we. can be very great. We can even easily earn dollars thru money market. I just depends how intelligent we are.
For real,,, a famous general from ww2 once said "give me 50k Filipinos and I will conquer the world: as a testamate to how tough you are. Besides that you have a well educated youth with strong goals. The future is bright for the PH. Nice to see you here Kelsan! MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🎄🎄🎄🎄💥🚀💪😍🌞
The pleasure is all mine Jeane! This has been an enlightening and exciting time. Meeting everyone here has changed me for the better. Salamat Po! THANK YOU FOR YOUR LIKE! ❤
Yes,, I was able to read it more clearly on the edit.. "Dark side Never Dies" wow,, should post that next to that wicked movie sigh,,, shesssh... Not my idea of a good make for a business,,,, but that do I know. Good eye Marco. Thanks for the post brother. 🎄💪😎
@@JackBriskTV good video brother...we went to Uptown mall just last Monday and it was also our first time but damn you can navigate malls easier than us 🤣 wll, I was with my wife and our toddler so I never imagined a smooth sailing anyway 😅😅😅 I suggest you explore High Street next but at night time and also the Venice Grand Canal mall if you haven't been there yet, good content overall

Awesome! Video, what a vibrant BGC now has big changes back then. because I was working there in the Call Center as a Customer Services Associate last 2017. Merry Christmas! ❤Sir Jack Brisk, just enjoy your vacation and welcome to our beloved beautiful country the Philippines❤
What an awesome post. Thank you for the words of encouragement, they mean a lot. I'm glad I can give you a look back in on your old stomping grounds OnlineMotivationMedia! Your country is amazing. Salamat PO! MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🎄❤
Third world? That was a long time ago. Not anymore.The Philippines is now newly industrializing. And if you think the progressing Cities in the Philippines are a mix of clean modern and Asian shabby-ness, that will not apply to my city, the City of ILOILO, where modern is modern, heritage areas are wellkept and well-maintained. ILOILO CITY is unique among the cities in the Philippines. The problems that you see in other cities are the exact opposite in ILOILO CITY. ILOILO CITY has numerous well maintained American era parks, Spanish era plazas, and these are always in front of the Spanish era Roman Catholic Churches and carhefral; classic fountains, Spanish belfries; well-kept turn-of-the-century heritage government and private commercial buildings and grand palatial mansions. Outside Luzon, where Metro Manila is located, ILOILO has the only UNESCO-listed Roman Catholic Church as a World Heritage Church - the magnificent MIAG-AO FORTRESS CHURCH. Visit its interiors. There is a museum at the left side end, and a dungeon-like Adoration Chapel at the right side end. The JARO CATHEDRAL is the National Shrine to Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria de Jaro. It is also kniwn as a male church because of the presence of make saints on its posts ( the 12 Apostles, and the 4 evangelists on the ceiling above the ALTAR TABLE. Across the city is MOLO CHURCH, one of the most beautiful churches in the Philippines, and is known as the women's church because of the all-females saints on the posts. ILOILO CITY's kilometers-long fully landscaped Riverside and creekside esplanades are a delight to go strolling on, and here you can go jogging , exercising, Zumba, birdwatching, hobby fishing, and Biking (yes, biking to yiur heart's content at esplanades 2 to 10, except at Esplanade 1, which is exclusive to seniors and strollers. ILOILO CITY is kbiwn as the Biking Capital of the Philippines. Recently, on October 14th, 2024, ILOILO CITY was listed by the London-based online publication, Headline Bulletin, #hbuk.co.uk, as One of the Top 18 Most Fitness-Friendly Cities in the World. ILOILO CITY is also a designated a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy in the Philippines. Its iconic LA PAZ BATCHOY has been voted last November, 2024, by #TasteAtlas, the international food authority, as the Best Offal Soup Dish in the World. Also, ILOILO'S popular ILOILO CHICKEN INASAL Coal-Roasted Chicken barbeque, has likewise been voted by #TasteAtlas, as one of the best chicken dishes in the workd. Try skso ILOILO'S iconic PANCIT MOLO pork soup dumpling dish. The latest trending food activiry in ILOILO right now is the "Heritage Food Crawl', dining on heirloom Iloilo dishes at the various elegant heritage mansions and residences. Iloilo is your cherished culinary destination in the Philippines. ILOILO has numerous big hospitals and medical centers at par with the best in Metro Manila. There are numerous 100-year old universities and various high-end colleges and schools. There are 3 top-notch medical schools in ILOILO CITY. Regular direct international flights are between ILOILO and SINGAPORE, and between ILOILO and HONG KONG have resumed. ILOILO CITY's world-famous annual ILOILO DINAGYANG FESTIVAL will be on January 23rd to 26th 2025. As for ILOILO CITY being listed as One of the Top 18 Most Fitness-Friendly Cities in the World, here's the complete list:. 1). Amsterdam, Netherlands. 2). Buenos Aires, Argentina. 3). Vancouver, Canada. 4). Sydney, Australia. 5). Mexico City, Mexico. . 6). ILOILO, Philippines. 7). Singapore. 8). Tokyo, Japan. 9). Budapest, Hungary. 10). Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. 11).

Seoul, South Korea. These cities are also among the most beautiful cities in the World.
Yes, correct. With the exception of some of the distant province's the PH is no way a third world. All in all its considered a developing nation. Developing fast I might add! God bless the Ph.. and MERRY CHRISTMAS! 💪🎄🎄🎄❤
Thank you for the warm welcome nlf17! I am filled to the rim with blessing having had to chance to interact with your people! Thanks for your inspiring comment! MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🎄🎄🎄❤💪🇵🇭🇵🇭
in this country dont hesitate to ask anyone am sure they will be answering if they knew ....and the secutities in a mall or building are also best to ask directions...
Yes, if I have to be lost or in need of advice, help or directions there is no place I would rather be. SOOOO KIND and helpful. I have been broken down, stuck and lost several times. The grace of the so called "thrid world" PH people is unmatched! Salamat PO. ❤👍
The original name of the BGC is William McKinley the 25th President of the U.S.A. Also, go to the adjacent city about 10 minutes ride calle Makati. It's even better there.
Thank you for your vlog. I always enjoy viewing the perspective of visitors to my homeland. It has been over 8 years since I last went home, good to see vloggers like you give us new updates. I really loved that floral Chritmas tree ❤. Is my homeland a 3rd world country? Well, perhaps not in the same context like 40 years ago. But any ounce of improvement through the years is always good to see. Every country in the world has its fair share of political and socio-economic issues. Just got to count our own blessings there in the Philippines.❤
Im so glad I could bring you some sights from you great homeland. I hope you get back sometime soon. I never want to leave :) This is not a 3rd world country for sure however in the provences there are elements with no power or water and that live a simple life. But is that a bad thing? I love the charm and welcoming culture I find in those areas. God bless the PH! MERRY CHRISTMAS Poltes5! 🎄🎄🎄🎄❤😎🇵🇭💪
The Philippines is still a developing country like most countries in Africa, Asia and latin America. Though,the third world term is now obsolete from its traditional meaning. However, it has attained a new connotation at present to mean a poor and under developed country. As a developing country, if you may...I can say that Philippines is a second world country.
Yes, the PH is not third world in my opinion. This place is developing at warp speed! The cities are clean, fresh and the people here are the best I have ever known. ❤
It is very true that Phils has developed and will continue to grow in the coming years. The Southeast Asia region as a whole is growing. Phils growth though is largely driven by the large number of Filipinos working abroad. But if you look at core industries like Agriculture and Manufacturing, they have not grown. Foreign direct investments still lag behind our neighbors. Farmers and fisherfolks still have very meager income and still primitive in tools. You hardly find a farmer that owns a tractor. We taught Vietnam how to plant rice and now they have overtaken us in rice production and overall GDP. Waste management is still largely landfill-based. The healthcare insurance arm of the govt only subsidizes 30% in-patient. Zero subsidy for outpatient services. People who can’t pay have to line up at a politician’s office to get assistance. Our minerals are exported at a cheap price and comes back in the form of finished goods that are already expensive. Imagine if we are the ones actually producing the goods. Imagine what more we can achieve given our rich natural resources; and very young and talented labor market.
Agreed on many levels. Manufacturing needs to grow and so many areas are lacking. All that said,, the future looks really bright. Keep up the good fight. 🇵🇭💪
WELCOME Cristinathing!!! Thank you for your words,, I'm honored by your statement. I can't wait to visit Siargao,, I hear its beautiful! SALAMAT PO,,, and MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🎄🎄🎄🇵🇭🇺🇸🚀❤
Sir that was DFA it means Department of Foreign Affairs so i think you could ask anything you need to know regarding any paperwork for your stay. The office was made available anywhere for our/your convenience.
If The Philippines would reach that first world status like those very developed nations, I just hope the country will still be able to preserve its culture and identity like our community and family-oriented values and traditions, religious beliefs and freedom, etc. Akin to Yin and Yang, I think everything in life is two-faced depending on how you view it or your perspective about it. Hearing about those people saying 'duh first world country problems!' or about the so called 'rat race society' or how chauvinists and narcissists most people have become in those very developed nations, made me think The Philippines would be better off as a high income country enough to minimize poverty if unable to eradicate it so as not to lose rather will still be able to retain its beautiful, lustrous and humbling culture, qualities and values The Philippines has since time immemorial. Philippines, together we stand, divided we fall! But it's all in God's Hands and Divine Providence if He will make The Philippines among the great nations and a beacon of light for the world to see. Just give it a time, in God's Time!
See, that's my main fear. With wealth comes a decay of the moral and social fabric of societies. The introductions of smart phones in the early 2000's has greatly impacted your culture already. Remember what happened when Adam bit the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? That was one bitter apple (phone) Lets pray you can keep your culture for decades to come. MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🤔💥🎄🎄🎄🎄❤🇵🇭💪
Yes my brother,,, I want to document that before I leave early Jan... Its been on my list for some time and I keep forgetting... Good suggestion! Merry Christmas 🎄
Keep your phone as it serves its purpose! You’re in the Philippines and it would be crazy to buy Starbucks. Local coffee is homegrown and can rival the best Ethiopian coffee for much less money. Best to eat everything local. 2 benefits: the food is great and you save money!
Yes I'm appreciating local food more and more. It has been hard for me to find good coffee. Most days I just drink my crappy instant coffee,, haha.. Still good but im not informed on where to buy that is good. Any name brand shops that I can buy at in a mall? I'm all about that last part,, saving money lol.. Good post Salamat Po. Merry Christmas! 🎄
Thank you for your kind welcome. Im exploring much of those places on foot right now and its been nice so far. If you are curious I have two videos on MOA you can check out. Either way,, Salamat PO ❤for watching and your great comment Teresita
Fyi, Philippines is a fast developing country on Earth, Ph is a NIC- Newly Industrialized Country, one the fastest GDP economic growth in the world, Philippines is a middle income economy country..Philippines is on track to become 1st world country.
What he said! hehe,, I complety agree with that statement. The PH is 1st world already in may places and the rest will catch up. If you can keep your leaders in check, keep your freedom the future belongs to you my PH friends! ❤ 💪🚀
The Philippine economy is growing steadily stronger for the past decades. I can foresee more investments coming thereby reducing poverty incidence in the country. With a stronger alliances with the U.S. & Japan. The country will rise economically. Mabuhay & God bless
The PH reputation both from its world class workers sent abroad and from the likes of vloggers has grown exponentially in recent years. Investments will come,, but please no more malls lol,, Good post Rey 🚀
🇵🇭 You are only half right Rayven. I'm guessing you posted without watching the video. (His post below) VLOGGERS are the primary reason people have discovered the Philippines as being a true treasure. VLOGGERS are the reason we have been able to break through the false narratives presented to us by the Liegacy media and propagandists that produces "professional" materials to further their own ends by claiming the PH 🇵🇭 is a dangerous 3rd world country. Our cameras show the real Manila, Cebu, Palawan and so much more. The good, the bad and the beauty and more importantly reality. We show the real hospitable personality of your people. We show that the google narrative of just a couple of years that was saying the PH is a dangerous place is overwhelmingly false. The Philippines is less dangerous then many places in the west. Your anger is misguided. Point it at the misguided politicians and the lying media of the world. The Philippines is an amazing country and its destiny is to be a mighty power in the Asian region. Clearly headed to 1st world status, and in many places it has surpassed that goal. It has definitely surpassed my media pre conditioned expectations and for that I'm grateful. I love this place and will defend it side by side with my fellow PH brothers and sisters any day. Your patriotism is commendable but shaded by a dark filter. I share those strong feelings towards this great place. Vloggers are not the enemy, they are one of your last hopes to see the world unfiltered by government and corporate interests. Watch before you judge. Glory in the great accomplishments of the PH and keep a positive attitude. God, Freedom, Truth and Family followed by country. Not necessarily in that order :) Salamat po my friend! 🇵🇭 Disclaimer. Perhaps Reyven (below) is coming to his conclusions by watching this "Kulas" he spoke of. I know nothing about him. If so, then this response is still important to understand. Not all vloggers are good but to lump all into a category of "foreign vloggers" being bad is to disrespect the good honorable and enlightening work done by many. Lets all seek truth together 👉Comment reacted to: @Reyven**** "The Philippines is the Ultimate World and the Pearl of the Orient Seas . The Third World are the Foreign Vloggers that came to the Philippines hoping that they will become Millionaire like Kulas but they fail because they are Scammers."
Hi JackBrisk, you are doing great with your vlogs, and a lot of Filipinos appreciate it. Just continue what you like to do and please don't listen to jealous people like @Reyven he's a "dog". He mentioned "Kulas" making millions... apparently he's right, Kulas has huge Filipino supporters like me.
@@dakuykuy1 hahahha,, "huge Filipino supporters like🎄🎄 me" I love it. Apparently this guy isnt bad at all if you like him. Thank you for the post Dakuykuy! Your words are encouraging! MERRY CHRISTMAS!
I am going to try to fit that into my schedule,, I have been wanting to do that for a long time. Christmas might be a good option. Thanks for the tip! 🎄 MERRY CHRISTMAS Po ❤
Thank you for the request Ronaldo,, its encouraging! I have a bunch on the fire now. I expect my bottle neck will open up now. Thanks for watching brother! ❤😎
So true,, even I didn't expect the reality of this great place. In the west we have been painted a false image of the Philippines. That said, because of Vloggers this is changing radically. They are the reason I decided to come see for myself. I am very happy they opened my eyes and I hope I can share this beauty with others to. Merry Christmas! ❤
@@JackBriskTV especially those racist Asian countries like China and Korea, they think that Philippines is still a poor country and small that’s why these Asian countries never associate themselves with Filipinos and many of them confirmed that. 😏
Especially, Korea and China these two racist Asian countries still thinks that the Philippine is so poor and small that’s why they never let themselves to be associated with Filipinos and many of them confirmed that but the funny thing is there are a lot of Koreans that are studying in the Philippines because our educational system let’s say it’s better, there were many stories based on someone’s experience that they are rude, arrogant and they look down on us, so ungrateful and what an irony.
a funny reply might be,,, what are slippers and shoes? lol I call my "slippers" flip flops,, I had to learn that here they are slippers. For me, in the US a slipper is some soft fuzzy thing you wear around the house at night :) Nice to hear from you Mimi! God bless as always. ❤
Most people don't understand the meaning of First World, Second World ,Third World and Fourth World the answers are stated in Wikapidia so make a research to enlighten our perception and thought
Im with you Bazookajoe,, I will be doing a video on PH youth vrs "1st world" youth. Values, goals and attitudes. Amazing to see. Just released part two if this 3rd world video tonight. Will show tomorrow morning US time. MERRY CHRISTMAS PO,, 🎄🎄🎄💥❤🇺🇸🇵🇭
@JackBriskTV Thanks Jack. It doesnt have to be specifically talking about the US and the Philippines Its actually universal. Are first world countries-- based on the parameters set by us, humans, really living first world?
Yes, I should have asked her for a price on the cheapest one there. Mine is a Huawei, but I don't🎄🎄🚀🇵🇭 know how to tell what version it is. Wait, i just looked. Its a HUAWEI Nova Y61 to be exact. Merry Christmas Java
Thanks Gemboy,, Ill have to do a bit of research,, but a doc I saw online a few years ago said its much more. They were fabled to have lived on an island and to have lured sailors to their deaths in dangerous waters with their irresistible song and attractiveness. Aka sex appeal. But im no expert :) 🤔😎🎄
The Philippines is still a 3rd world country today but this country is steadily emerging into the next level - to be the likes of most of Western economies. It will not happen overnight but it will happen.
I understand your point. It all depends on where you look and live. Some places are clearly 3rd world in nature while others are ultra modern. Some no electric or water and others with 400mbp wifi and modern housing. The dichotomy is real but the country as a whole is now considered a developing country. Great post Levite. 😎
Yeah man, that DJI Mic SUCKS! I have tried several audio options. Even two new DJI Mics thinking it was the mic. When it works it works amazing. But the glitching out is killing me. Still looking to improve. Sorry for the audio glitches. 😞
You make a good point. My exploration of your great land has reveled some very poor areas with no running water, power or internet. They exist in true 3rd world fashion. What I did notice is the attitude of most of these places. The attitude was positive and grateful in nature. Amazing. Merry Christmas and may God bless those less fortunate than us. ❤🎄🎄🎄🙏
The Philippines is not a third world country according to Wikipedia itis first world country in Asia along side with Japan , Thailand etc. It's present status is a Newly Industrialize Country with a fastest growing economy in the region , the present scenario is like during the time of President Fidel Ramos where the Philippines experience economic and construction boom now the Philippines is recovering it status as Tiger economy in Asia new cities are being developed old city are being torn down where skyscraper replace historic Binondo building artificial Island from Metro Manila to Mega Manila through the help of 4pc poor children go to school others are now Professionals the only problem is no one want to be a farmer any more the status of these people elevated to second class citizen calesas where replaced by motor cycles kalesa ate hard to find in provinces the result of rapid economic growth
The Ped thing I have never heard but it wouldnt supprise me if the modern culture has adopted it for that. After all the Sirens are legended to lure sailors to their deaths in dangerous waters with their irresistible song and sex appeal. Deadly and evil imo. 🎄🤔🎄😎
For sure! Im excited to see what Christmas day or the three days surrounding it look line. Any ideas on where I should go to film on Christmas day in Manila? Thanks Psaraoek! ❤
I knew it, that people would get offended by this "3rd world" titles. Some don't get it, Jack. They thought you were insulting the Philippines. Because others just comment without even watching the whole video. It makes them look dumb! 😂 Yeah, I am Filipino as well.
Salamat po, yes, that happens. Foolish emotional snap reactions are one of the reason creepy politicians get away with the stuff they do. Show a headline or a thumb and they can strongly influence millions of people in the direction they desire. We should always verify before supporting or criticizing a thing. Then when we are done listening,, we should still question what we here. Anyway,, thank you Scamander,, 😎❤
Some of them are paid trolls bud. They get paid by the amount of content they react to. Ever wondered why, you would see comments about corruption consistently. Like, we are the worst in the world. Nothing like a bad comment to propel you into instant stardom. For some who are not trolls, they probably got fed up by the amount of negativity here in TH-cam. Have you tried watching those slum or pagpag videos? Now everyone thinks that we all live in the slums and eat pagpag. 😅 They probably assumed that this is one of those videos.
Agreed,,, i will be filming more in the poor sections of the PH through out 2025. This place is NOT 3rd world. I hope people see the truth through vloggers lenses. The PH is filled with smart well educated people with big hearts. Salamat po 🎄
It’s spot on.. The Philippines is and will always be a 3rd-world country .. with politicians running it.. politics is business.. The under qualified and thieving local and national leaders.. with their insatiable craving for greed and power.. I don’t know what you call it …is beyond me.. The poor and the underprivileged are paying the price.. ! And you count on it.. the next 30-50 years.. it’s business as usual.. hopeless case.. 😢
Welcome to politics 101. Death / taxes / and narcissistic people striving to gain power over others... aka some of our leaders. We can overcome,, but people groups in the west need to stop fighting with each other and realize its the powers that be that need to be reformed. 🤔🎄
Ruth,, you got it right. We need to be truth seekers. Employ common sense and seek truth. What was that the King said? The truth will set you free! 🙏❤💥
That sums it up my friend. Such a clear statement. For the record this is not a third world country but if it was, its the best there ever was! Got to love it.. Salamat PO! ❤😂💥
Yeah it's true that the Philippines is 3rd world we Filipino accept the sad reality for so many years our country was mismanaged by our leaders and our political climate is not really good.
Have hope Jun-ih3pg,,, I don't accept that 3rd world label anymore. You are officially classified as a "developing nation' at the moment. Through Vlogging and you tube the world is seeing what a precious place the Philippines is! Amazing cities, incredible growing and the best and most hospitable culture group I have ever met! Salamat PO. ❤🇺🇸🇵🇭
Actually the term 3rd World was from the "Cold War" era. 1st World were the Allied led by USA, 2nd World led by Soviet Russia, and the non-aligned nations were called 3rd World.
It's unfortunate that some Filipinos still have the mindset of thinking that we are in a 3rd world country and blame the government for everything. I have been living in Manila for 32 years, and I've seen how much our country has developed compared to three decades ago. The standard of living for most Filipinos today is significantly different from what it was 30 years ago. Our country is progressing and developing rapidly. In fact, five of the biggest malls in the world can be found in the Philippines. This development is not limited to Metro Manila; key cities across the country are also experiencing growth and progress."
Ignorance? hahah, maybe if you watched the video you would realize the purpose is to point out its NOT a 3rd world country. The common believe around the world is that it is,, this video is a small testimony against that believe. Sheeesh,, people comment on a title only.. lol MERRY CHRISTMAS my friend.. lol 🎄🎄🎄❤
3rd world are mostly countries in aftica where food, education, health care, medicines, amenities and relevant facilities are scarce and most children are malnourished & majority of the people are starving! The Philippines does not qualify or fall into these scenarios, its a newly industrialized & developing country With biggest malls which shows that its citizems have the buying capacity which a 3rd world country lacks! Yes there is still poverty in most areas about 25℅ but its the same as poverty that exists in other developed & developing nations such as US, Europe & Asia! the biggest Ikea in the world is in the Philippines.. Why? 😊
Yes there are several African countries thriving and catching up and one or three are ahead like South Africa.. Many are exploited and milked by foriegn countries including china particular their nat. resources and minerals. 👋
Yes, google has changed its classification from 3rd world to developing nation. Some parts of the PH are super very low income and lack running water and electricity. That said, my visits to these places revile a mostly happy and content, all be it simple life. This 3rd world rep is more of an imaginary image in the minds of many westerners. Not to say there is a negative bias, but rather a simple misunderstand of reality. I blame that on the media at large. Thank God for vlogging. Thank you for your comment. 💥
If fellow Filipinos keep electing corrupt politicians or celebrities who have no skill in governing, the country will never achieve the heights of Singapore or even Thailand. It is rich in natural resources and has skilled well educated work force but the brightest leave the country and work in 1st world countries for better opportunities. It is still a 3rd world country, just look at public transportation, garbage collection, the woeful airports, the slow WiFi speed, power shortages ( brown outs) and the horrific traffic. That's still the reality.
go to the states and see what woeful means.
You're exaggerating your description about the Philippine country.
You are Fake News
Philippines is not a Third World Country
Slow wifi? It actually depends on what type of service you are paying. I'm from the province and my wifi here is even more fast that the wifi in my cousin house in Manila,. The thing is most people always get what is in promos and cost less but are expecting to have a very fast connection.
Fyi Philippines soon overtaken the economy of Thailand, Philippines economy is one of the fastest on earth and continuously growing and Phillippines GDP growth is above the GDP growth of Thailand in recent years so soon Philippines overtaken the economy of Thailand, there has traffic in Philippines because there have many many BIG infra projects are ongoing constructions all over Manila including the ambitious multi USBillion Dollar Hi - Speed SUBWAY train which is most modern in South East Asia and that's the massive progress in the Philippines, about wifi the wifi in Philippines is speed it's only depends on cost on what's you avail..in garbage Manila roads are always clean and neat because the garbage in Philippines is organized the garbage trucks in Metro Manila are always get the garbage in the streets every morning and evening so Manila roads are neat and clean..
Thus security guards keeping people safe! They won't allow individuals enters malls, establishment, offices drunk or carried deadly weapon, etc, etc.
Yes, they do a great job. I'm also a little impressed on there quality of dress and they demeanor. They hold themselves tall and proud and their clothing is spotless and perfect. I will also give them credit, it is hard to stand at a post for 8 hrs at a time. Me feet couldn't handle that, lol MERRY CHRISTMAS and thank you for the post. 😎💥💪🇵🇭🎄🎄
FYI that Chapel is there so people can hear mass on a Sunday. Filipinos are religiously going to hear mass every Sunday. You’ll notice if you visit a mall there’s usually a chapel on the top floor. SM malls will always be packed with people on a Sunday, where the people hear mass before malling around or go to the grocery. That has been part of the culture. There are 7 malls in BGC area.
That's excellent inside info MSalem! In America I have only seen one church in the basement of an old mall in NJ my whole life. I will take notice now when I visit malls and I will likely comment about your comment lol,, Salamat PO for your info my friend! ❤😮🙏🇵🇭💪
Welcome and thanks for coming in the Philippines 🇵🇭 enjoy your time this Christmas season
Thank you my brother!!! Im so blessed to be on this Journey,,, SALAMAT PO and MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🚀❤🇵🇭💥😎
great video brother! i will be travelling to Philippines next month, thanks for finding the movie Theatre 👍
hahah, good thing,, imagine if you didn't know about the movies,,, hhhhhh,,, lol. Welcome Delta,, you will love it here. It takes a bit of a learning curve. My advice is relax, trust the process and enjoy the ride. MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🎄🎄🎄💥🚀❤
Third world, first world and second world are terms that divides countries based on their geopolitical alignment during the cold war. First world countries are those aligned with the NATO pact like the US, UK, France, etc while the second world countries belong to the Warsaw pact like USSR, East Germany, etc. Third world are simply those non-aligned countries like Philippines, Indonesia, even Switzerland. To accurately depict economic status of a country, the developed, developing, least developed are the appropriate terms.
Intresting, I will look into the history behind your words. Thought provoking post. 😎
Great and outstanding place wow,,,
It truly is a beautiful place BGC! ❤ 🇵🇭 MERRY CHRISTMAS VeraYep! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🚀❤
Wow nice video ,,
You are enjoying your walk in the Mall ,,the mall is very lively and good vibe. , so modern and clean
Yes it is a nice mall and a great place to visit. Truth be told some of the other malls in Manila are HUGE,, third world? hehe. Not here anyway. Thanks for your comment Meannpera! 🎄❤
I live in San Francisco but I have never seen a great mall like the Philippines - so sad!
lol,, if you are serious,, man, the Megga mall and MOA mall are 10 to 20x bigger and insane inside and outside. MOA has the seaside. Thanks so much for your comment. I wish you safety in the old San Fan! BTW,, Check out MOA mall,, largest mall in Asia... here is my vid on it in Manila PH...

Looks clean, beautiful and developed place,we don't have that here in Bahrain.
Yes, the PH is a very clean and well-maintained country, at least in the cities. It is a shining example of modern urban development here in BGC! 🙏🎄
@@JackBriskTV yeah beacause bgc was designed per global standards
Thanks for breaking the stereotype of the Philippines being a third world country.
That's what I've been telling my viewers for a long time also.
Yeah,, all my friends and family think this is the 3rd world,, lol. I will be hitting this topic hard. Tomorrow PART2, on the third world is releasing on the channel. I will also be comparing the "3rd world" youth ethics to the 1st world. Should be fun. SALAMAT PO TimeLapse! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I wish my house is made of nipa hut because its way more cooler to live in than concrete house or a house made of wood which is very expensive. It does not mean if you live in a nipa hut youre poor. What a way of thinking 😅😅😅😅
I agree, our lifestyle choice often is not always a direct reflection of our economic status. For me, I always wanted to live in a simple log cabin on a mountain, Its a beautiful simple life but this in no way reflects my level of ambition for my goals and future plan. 🎄❤
Hi, Jack. I'm new in your channel. Your visit to the Philippines is much appreciated. Enjoy your stay. Have a good one.
Welcome to the channel! I hope you enjoy the trip with me! Im really grateful for your kind worlds my "LovingKindness0" friend ") MERRY CHRISTMAS and happy holidays! 🎄🎄💥😎
Actually you can't underestimate us here in Philippines. Progress of today is very handy. I mean as long as we have an internet connecton, we can even earn thousand of dollars thru digital technology. The mere fact that we have cellphones, we. can be very great. We can even easily earn dollars thru money market. I just depends how intelligent we are.
For real,,, a famous general from ww2 once said "give me 50k Filipinos and I will conquer the world: as a testamate to how tough you are. Besides that you have a well educated youth with strong goals. The future is bright for the PH. Nice to see you here Kelsan! MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🎄🎄🎄🎄💥🚀💪😍🌞

Third world? That was a long time ago. Not anymore.The Philippines is now newly industrializing. And if you think the progressing Cities in the Philippines are a mix of clean modern and Asian shabby-ness, that will not apply to my city, the City of ILOILO, where modern is modern, heritage areas are wellkept and well-maintained. ILOILO CITY is unique among the cities in the Philippines. The problems that you see in other cities are the exact opposite in ILOILO CITY. ILOILO CITY has numerous well maintained American era parks, Spanish era plazas, and these are always in front of the Spanish era Roman Catholic Churches and carhefral; classic fountains, Spanish belfries; well-kept turn-of-the-century heritage government and private commercial buildings and grand palatial mansions. Outside Luzon, where Metro Manila is located, ILOILO has the only UNESCO-listed Roman Catholic Church as a World Heritage Church - the magnificent MIAG-AO FORTRESS CHURCH. Visit its interiors. There is a museum at the left side end, and a dungeon-like Adoration Chapel at the right side end. The JARO CATHEDRAL is the National Shrine to Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria de Jaro. It is also kniwn as a male church because of the presence of make saints on its posts ( the 12 Apostles, and the 4 evangelists on the ceiling above the ALTAR TABLE. Across the city is MOLO CHURCH, one of the most beautiful churches in the Philippines, and is known as the women's church because of the all-females saints on the posts. ILOILO CITY's kilometers-long fully landscaped Riverside and creekside esplanades are a delight to go strolling on, and here you can go jogging , exercising, Zumba, birdwatching, hobby fishing, and Biking (yes, biking to yiur heart's content at esplanades 2 to 10, except at Esplanade 1, which is exclusive to seniors and strollers. ILOILO CITY is kbiwn as the Biking Capital of the Philippines. Recently, on October 14th, 2024, ILOILO CITY was listed by the London-based online publication, Headline Bulletin, #hbuk.co.uk, as One of the Top 18 Most Fitness-Friendly Cities in the World. ILOILO CITY is also a designated a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy in the Philippines. Its iconic LA PAZ BATCHOY has been voted last November, 2024, by #TasteAtlas, the international food authority, as the Best Offal Soup Dish in the World. Also, ILOILO'S popular ILOILO CHICKEN INASAL Coal-Roasted Chicken barbeque, has likewise been voted by #TasteAtlas, as one of the best chicken dishes in the workd. Try skso ILOILO'S iconic PANCIT MOLO pork soup dumpling dish. The latest trending food activiry in ILOILO right now is the "Heritage Food Crawl', dining on heirloom Iloilo dishes at the various elegant heritage mansions and residences. Iloilo is your cherished culinary destination in the Philippines. ILOILO has numerous big hospitals and medical centers at par with the best in Metro Manila. There are numerous 100-year old universities and various high-end colleges and schools. There are 3 top-notch medical schools in ILOILO CITY. Regular direct international flights are between ILOILO and SINGAPORE, and between ILOILO and HONG KONG have resumed. ILOILO CITY's world-famous annual ILOILO DINAGYANG FESTIVAL will be on January 23rd to 26th 2025. As for ILOILO CITY being listed as One of the Top 18 Most Fitness-Friendly Cities in the World, here's the complete list:. 1). Amsterdam, Netherlands. 2). Buenos Aires, Argentina. 3). Vancouver, Canada. 4). Sydney, Australia. 5). Mexico City, Mexico. . 6). ILOILO, Philippines. 7). Singapore. 8). Tokyo, Japan. 9). Budapest, Hungary. 10). Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. 11).

Seoul, South Korea. These cities are also among the most beautiful cities in the World.
Yes, correct. With the exception of some of the distant province's the PH is no way a third world. All in all its considered a developing nation. Developing fast I might add! God bless the Ph.. and MERRY CHRISTMAS! 💪🎄🎄🎄❤

Thank you for your vlog. I always enjoy viewing the perspective of visitors to my homeland. It has been over 8 years since I last went home, good to see vloggers like you give us new updates.
I really loved that floral Chritmas tree ❤.
Is my homeland a 3rd world country? Well, perhaps not in the same context like 40 years ago. But any ounce of improvement through the years is always good to see. Every country in the world has its fair share of political and socio-economic issues.
Just got to count our own blessings there in the Philippines.❤
Im so glad I could bring you some sights from you great homeland. I hope you get back sometime soon. I never want to leave :) This is not a 3rd world country for sure however in the provences there are elements with no power or water and that live a simple life. But is that a bad thing? I love the charm and welcoming culture I find in those areas. God bless the PH! MERRY CHRISTMAS Poltes5! 🎄🎄🎄🎄❤😎🇵🇭💪
Enjoy and be safe, God bless you always
Salamat po so much. God bless you also George! ❤
The Philippines is still a developing country like most countries in Africa, Asia and latin America. Though,the third world term is now obsolete from its traditional meaning. However, it has attained a new connotation at present to mean a poor and under developed country. As a developing country, if you may...I can say that Philippines is a second world country.
Theres no 1st, 2nd or 3rd country nowadays. Its developed and developing country is the term for this generation.
Yes, the PH is not third world in my opinion. This place is developing at warp speed! The cities are clean, fresh and the people here are the best I have ever known. ❤
@@JackBriskTVhave you visited the American Cemetery it's near BGC, lend some of your time to visit 😊 Enjoy!!!
Nice video enjoy and take care
Thanks my friend, I am doing my best to enjoy! Salamat PO!
It is very true that Phils has developed and will continue to grow in the coming years. The Southeast Asia region as a whole is growing. Phils growth though is largely driven by the large number of Filipinos working abroad. But if you look at core industries like Agriculture and Manufacturing, they have not grown. Foreign direct investments still lag behind our neighbors. Farmers and fisherfolks still have very meager income and still primitive in tools. You hardly find a farmer that owns a tractor. We taught Vietnam how to plant rice and now they have overtaken us in rice production and overall GDP. Waste management is still largely landfill-based. The healthcare insurance arm of the govt only subsidizes 30% in-patient. Zero subsidy for outpatient services. People who can’t pay have to line up at a politician’s office to get assistance. Our minerals are exported at a cheap price and comes back in the form of finished goods that are already expensive. Imagine if we are the ones actually producing the goods. Imagine what more we can achieve given our rich natural resources; and very young and talented labor market.
Agreed on many levels. Manufacturing needs to grow and so many areas are lacking. All that said,, the future looks really bright. Keep up the good fight. 🇵🇭💪
Enjoy! Vlogging...👍
I love how you interact people Maligayang Pasko🎉🎉 New Subs here! Ingat po and Come here in Siargao
WELCOME Cristinathing!!! Thank you for your words,, I'm honored by your statement. I can't wait to visit Siargao,, I hear its beautiful! SALAMAT PO,,, and MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🎄🎄🎄🇵🇭🇺🇸🚀❤
Sir that was DFA it means Department of Foreign Affairs so i think you could ask anything you need to know regarding any paperwork for your stay. The office was made available anywhere for our/your convenience.
If The Philippines would reach that first world status like those very developed nations, I just hope the country will still be able to preserve its culture and identity like our community and family-oriented values and traditions, religious beliefs and freedom, etc. Akin to Yin and Yang, I think everything in life is two-faced depending on how you view it or your perspective about it. Hearing about those people saying 'duh first world country problems!' or about the so called 'rat race society' or how chauvinists and narcissists most people have become in those very developed nations, made me think The Philippines would be better off as a high income country enough to minimize poverty if unable to eradicate it so as not to lose rather will still be able to retain its beautiful, lustrous and humbling culture, qualities and values The Philippines has since time immemorial. Philippines, together we stand, divided we fall! But it's all in God's Hands and Divine Providence if He will make The Philippines among the great nations and a beacon of light for the world to see. Just give it a time, in God's Time!
See, that's my main fear. With wealth comes a decay of the moral and social fabric of societies. The introductions of smart phones in the early 2000's has greatly impacted your culture already. Remember what happened when Adam bit the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? That was one bitter apple (phone) Lets pray you can keep your culture for decades to come. MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🤔💥🎄🎄🎄🎄❤🇵🇭💪
Thanks for coming in the Philippines, enjoy the moments in seeing beautiful things around. God bless and keep safe....
Hope you can visit up north here in Baguio City 😊
Baguio is definitely on my to-do list. I will be there likely in 2025.. Salmat PO for your comment and MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🎄🎄🎄❤🚀🇵🇭💥
While in BGC, visit the American soldier's cemetery. So beautiful, perhaps better than Arlington.
Good advice,, I keep forgetting,, I had that on my todo list a year ago. God bless the great soldiers that fought for both our countries! 👍🙏💪💪🎄

Hi Piacash! Thank you very much,, it means a lot. MERRY CHRISTMAS and Happy New Year! 🎄
Keep your phone as it serves its purpose! You’re in the Philippines and it would be crazy to buy Starbucks. Local coffee is homegrown and can rival the best Ethiopian coffee for much less money. Best to eat everything local. 2 benefits: the food is great and you save money!
Yes I'm appreciating local food more and more. It has been hard for me to find good coffee. Most days I just drink my crappy instant coffee,, haha.. Still good but im not informed on where to buy that is good. Any name brand shops that I can buy at in a mall? I'm all about that last part,, saving money lol.. Good post Salamat Po.

Fyi, Philippines is a fast developing country on Earth, Ph is a NIC- Newly Industrialized Country, one the fastest GDP economic growth in the world, Philippines is a middle income economy country..Philippines is on track to become 1st world country.
3rd world country in the provinces. Lots of poverty, jobless people. The rich become richer, poor become poorer. Thats the real Philippines.
Pinanood mo ba lahat? Bat ka na offend?

🇵🇭 You are only half right Rayven. I'm guessing you posted without watching the video. (His post below) VLOGGERS are the primary reason people have discovered the Philippines as being a true treasure. VLOGGERS are the reason we have been able to break through the false narratives presented to us by the Liegacy media and propagandists that produces "professional" materials to further their own ends by claiming the PH 🇵🇭 is a dangerous 3rd world country. Our cameras show the real Manila, Cebu, Palawan and so much more. The good, the bad and the beauty and more importantly reality. We show the real hospitable personality of your people. We show that the google narrative of just a couple of years that was saying the PH is a dangerous place is overwhelmingly false. The Philippines is less dangerous then many places in the west.
Your anger is misguided. Point it at the misguided politicians and the lying media of the world. The Philippines is an amazing country and its destiny is to be a mighty power in the Asian region. Clearly headed to 1st world status, and in many places it has surpassed that goal. It has definitely surpassed my media pre conditioned expectations and for that I'm grateful. I love this place and will defend it side by side with my fellow PH brothers and sisters any day.
Your patriotism is commendable but shaded by a dark filter. I share those strong feelings towards this great place. Vloggers are not the enemy, they are one of your last hopes to see the world unfiltered by government and corporate interests. Watch before you judge. Glory in the great accomplishments of the PH and keep a positive attitude. God, Freedom, Truth and Family followed by country. Not necessarily in that order :) Salamat po my friend! 🇵🇭
Disclaimer. Perhaps Reyven (below) is coming to his conclusions by watching this "Kulas" he spoke of. I know nothing about him. If so, then this response is still important to understand. Not all vloggers are good but to lump all into a category of "foreign vloggers" being bad is to disrespect the good honorable and enlightening work done by many. Lets all seek truth together
👉Comment reacted to:
@Reyven**** "The Philippines is the Ultimate World and the Pearl of the Orient Seas . The Third World are the Foreign Vloggers that came to the Philippines hoping that they will become Millionaire like Kulas but they fail because they are Scammers."
Hi JackBrisk, you are doing great with your vlogs, and a lot of Filipinos appreciate it.

Thank you for the request Ronaldo,, its encouraging! I have a bunch on the fire now. I expect my bottle neck will open up now. Thanks for watching brother! ❤😎
But still clueless foreigners thinks that it’s still a third world you should educate them as an influencer continue spreading knowledge
So true,, even I didn't expect the reality of this great place. In the west we have been painted a false image of the Philippines. That said, because of Vloggers this is changing radically. They are the reason I decided to come see for myself. I am very happy they opened my eyes and I hope I can share this beauty with others to. Merry Christmas! ❤
@@JackBriskTV especially those racist Asian countries like China and Korea, they think that Philippines is still a poor country and small that’s why these Asian countries never associate themselves with Filipinos and many of them confirmed that. 😏
Especially, Korea and China these two racist Asian countries still thinks that the Philippine is so poor and small that’s why they never let themselves to be associated with Filipinos and many of them confirmed that but the funny thing is there are a lot of Koreans that are studying in the Philippines because our educational system let’s say it’s better, there were many stories based on someone’s experience that they are rude, arrogant and they look down on us, so ungrateful and what an irony.
I have a co worker that asked me if we use slippers or shoes in the Philippines 😳 😮 😂
a funny reply might be,,, what are slippers and shoes? lol I call my "slippers" flip flops,, I had to learn that here they are slippers. For me, in the US a slipper is some soft fuzzy thing you wear around the house at night :) Nice to hear from you Mimi! God bless as always. ❤
@ 🤣🤣. In Tagalog you can call slipper “chinelas”.
Most people don't understand the meaning of First World, Second World ,Third World and Fourth World the answers are stated in Wikapidia so make a research to enlighten our perception and thought
This is true. Most people I talk to here and abroad still think this is a third world country. It is not,, developing and growing fast. ❤

STARBUCKS LOGO IS AN TWIN TAILED SIRENE
Thanks Gemboy,, Ill have to do a bit of research,, but a doc I saw online a few years ago said its much more. They were fabled to have lived on an island and to have lured sailors to their deaths in dangerous waters with their irresistible song and attractiveness. Aka sex appeal. But im no expert :) 🤔😎🎄
The Philippines is still a 3rd world country today but this country is steadily emerging into the next level - to be the likes of most of Western economies.
It will not happen overnight but it will happen.
I understand your point. It all depends on where you look and live. Some places are clearly 3rd world in nature while others are ultra modern. Some no electric or water and others with 400mbp wifi and modern housing. The dichotomy is real but the country as a whole is now considered a developing country. Great post Levite. 😎

Philippines is not a poor country is rich country but poor governance 😁
many agree, I hear that a lot.. Salmat po! 😎💪
The Philippines is not a third world country according to Wikipedia itis first world country in Asia along side with Japan , Thailand etc. It's present status is a Newly Industrialize Country with a fastest growing economy in the region , the present scenario is like during the time of President Fidel Ramos where the Philippines experience economic and construction boom now the Philippines is recovering it status as Tiger economy in Asia new cities are being developed old city are being torn down where skyscraper replace historic Binondo building artificial Island from Metro Manila to Mega Manila through the help of 4pc poor children go to school others are now Professionals the only problem is no one want to be a farmer any more the status of these people elevated to second class citizen calesas where replaced by motor cycles kalesa ate hard to find in provinces the result of rapid economic growth
The ph will be a almost a great power in 20 years. The development is astonishing and hopeful. 💪
The Logo has to do with Ped o things and the women's rights movement which came from them.
The Ped thing I have never heard but it wouldnt supprise me if the modern culture has adopted it for that. After all the Sirens are legended to lure sailors to their deaths in dangerous waters with their irresistible song and sex appeal. Deadly and evil imo. 🎄🤔🎄😎

Philippines is a Christian country. Even malls here have chapels.
For sure! Im excited to see what Christmas day or the three days surrounding it look line. Any ideas on where I should go to film on Christmas day in Manila? Thanks Psaraoek! ❤
I knew it, that people would get offended by this "3rd world" titles. Some don't get it, Jack. They thought you were insulting the Philippines. Because others just comment without even watching the whole video. It makes them look dumb! 😂 Yeah, I am Filipino as well.
Salamat po, yes, that happens. Foolish emotional snap reactions are one of the reason creepy politicians get away with the stuff they do. Show a headline or a thumb and they can strongly influence millions of people in the direction they desire. We should always verify before supporting or criticizing a thing. Then when we are done listening,, we should still question what we here. Anyway,, thank you Scamander,, 😎❤
Some of them are paid trolls bud. They get paid by the amount of content they react to. Ever wondered why, you would see comments about corruption consistently. Like, we are the worst in the world. Nothing like a bad comment to propel you into instant stardom. For some who are not trolls, they probably got fed up by the amount of negativity here in TH-cam. Have you tried watching those slum or pagpag videos? Now everyone thinks that we all live in the slums and eat pagpag. 😅 They probably assumed that this is one of those videos.
@Techguy-zt3mz I might take you up for that since you're the Tech guy, you know something I do not.
True
@@Techguy-zt3mzLol😂😂 True.❤❤ yeah irritating😂😂
Third World Fantasy !
Agreed,,, i will be filming more in the poor sections of the PH through out 2025. This place is NOT 3rd world. I hope people see the truth through vloggers lenses. The PH is filled with smart well educated people with big hearts. Salamat po 🎄
BGC IS A BUBBLE. When you step out of its boundaries, you are WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD.
Lol bgc is also real world 😅 We have the affluent and the poverty side.
hahaha,, but a pretty bubble 😀
So? 'got the problem with that?? In fact, we have a LOT of the so-called BUBBLES all over Manila, not only BGC. 😂😂❤
It’s spot on.. The Philippines is and will always be a 3rd-world country .. with politicians running it.. politics is business.. The under qualified and thieving local and national leaders.. with their insatiable craving for greed and power.. I don’t know what you call it …is beyond me.. The poor and the underprivileged are paying the price.. !
And you count on it.. the next 30-50 years.. it’s business as usual.. hopeless case.. 😢
Welcome to politics 101. Death / taxes / and narcissistic people striving to gain power over others... aka some of our leaders. We can overcome,, but people groups in the west need to stop fighting with each other and realize its the powers that be that need to be reformed. 🤔🎄
Hi Jack would you like to visit Mindanao like davao city❤
Hello Hiede! Yes some day I will be touring through Davao city. I look forward to it. Most likely in 2025! Thank you for your comment my friend. ❤

What you saw,what you read in its not always good their is implication behind it with their agenda be smart.
Ruth,, you got it right. We need to be truth seekers. Employ common sense and seek truth. What was that the King said? The truth will set you free! 🙏❤💥
@JackBriskTV You mean truth hurts but will set you free...
let's say it's a 3rd world fast developing country... may God bless this paradise island...👍 fin
That sums it up my friend. Such a clear statement. For the record this is not a third world country but if it was, its the best there ever was! Got to love it.. Salamat PO! ❤😂💥
Go to mall of asia then say if we're 3 rd world country.
haha,, yes but I might get lost in the jungle or swamp 😮😂👍Great mall btw!
What 3rd world country are you talking about?
Planet earth of course. 😂
And call the US " first world" ? LOL
Im from the US and I get your comment,,,, sheeesssh,, things will get better,, its a new day 🙏
You lost weight, Jack...
haha, you noticed. Yes, down from 325lb when I arrived. Now running around 250lbs. I feel much better. Thanks for noticing brother. Salmat Po 😎
Yeah it's true that the Philippines is 3rd world we Filipino accept the sad reality for so many years our country was mismanaged by our leaders and our political climate is not really good.
Have hope Jun-ih3pg,,, I don't accept that 3rd world label anymore. You are officially classified as a "developing nation' at the moment. Through Vlogging and you tube the world is seeing what a precious place the Philippines is! Amazing cities, incredible growing and the best and most hospitable culture group I have ever met! Salamat PO. ❤🇺🇸🇵🇭
Actually the term 3rd World was from the "Cold War" era. 1st World were the Allied led by USA, 2nd World led by Soviet Russia, and the non-aligned nations were called 3rd World.
It's unfortunate that some Filipinos still have the mindset of thinking that we are in a 3rd world country and blame the government for everything. I have been living in Manila for 32 years, and I've seen how much our country has developed compared to three decades ago. The standard of living for most Filipinos today is significantly different from what it was 30 years ago. Our country is progressing and developing rapidly. In fact, five of the biggest malls in the world can be found in the Philippines. This development is not limited to Metro Manila; key cities across the country are also experiencing growth and progress."
Your behavior brought to Philippines a 3rd world country.Sad reality?
This guy is just being ignorant and judgmental period … a third world country don’t have the five top number one biggest mall
Of the world period ….
Ignorance? hahah, maybe if you watched the video you would realize the purpose is to point out its NOT a 3rd world country. The common believe around the world is that it is,, this video is a small testimony against that believe. Sheeesh,, people comment on a title only.. lol MERRY CHRISTMAS my friend.. lol 🎄🎄🎄❤
3rd world are mostly countries in aftica where food, education, health care, medicines, amenities and relevant facilities are scarce and most children are malnourished & majority of the people are starving! The Philippines does not qualify or fall into these scenarios, its a newly industrialized & developing country With biggest malls which shows that its citizems have the buying capacity which a 3rd world country lacks! Yes there is still poverty in most areas about 25℅ but its the same as poverty that exists in other developed & developing nations such as US, Europe & Asia! the biggest Ikea in the world is in the Philippines.. Why? 😊
Yes there are several African countries thriving and catching up and one or three are ahead like South Africa..
Many are exploited and milked by foriegn countries including china particular their nat. resources and minerals. 👋
Yes, google has changed its classification from 3rd world to developing nation. Some parts of the PH are super very low income and lack running water and electricity. That said, my visits to these places revile a mostly happy and content, all be it simple life. This 3rd world rep is more of an imaginary image in the minds of many westerners. Not to say there is a negative bias, but rather a simple misunderstand of reality. I blame that on the media at large. Thank God for vlogging. Thank you for your comment. 💥
@@JackBriskTV we thank you, because of this new ways of communications many mistake traditions are ironed out !
