Walang Anuman
I thoroughly enjoy your videos, and definitely would like to meet you when I come back to the Philippines.
@ about 4 minutes. Washing machines. I bought one just like what you showed but without the spinner side. It lasted maybe 2 or 3 years before the main bearing was shot. As you said, repair was impossible. The part didn't would be imported and cost the same as a new machine. I replaced it with a better model with a spin dry side. Of course now laundry in being done by hand again due to no electric.
I saw nearly the same type washer/spin dryer in Thailand in 1999. Chinese of course.
Thanks: #TheFilipinaPea - You are truly amazing - everyone reshare these videos so lets help #TheFilipinaPea get 1 Million Subscribers she deserves it................she works very hard on her videos and they are the most educational videos about #philippines online and on #youtube . Thank you #TheFilipinaPea
Yup, they’re just toys 👍
Ha ha! My Filipina wife scolded me for throwing away a toothpaste tube which I thought was empty. She used scissors for cutting it open to get more paste!
Well at least you know she’s not an imposter Filipina 😂
Spot on
I do the same since I hate wasting products. And I'm a westerner
We got unlimited toothpaste s and maganda s girls for you. Hahaha
Your wife is very smart. Congratulations
The people, 5 months living in the Philippines was a wonderful experience, such energy, laughter, camaraderie, filipinos are the most beautiful people (inside and outside) I have ever met.
Thanks for that, Doug! ❤️
I agree, Doug. That's why I want to spend a few months there every year.
@@BillGreenAZ What area you normally go to Billy... 🤔
I've always wanted to visit the Philippines. The Filipino people I know here in America are always such awesome people
After visiting the Philippines I will never ever complain about the traffic in the United States again
Our roads have that effect on people, yes 😂
Yes and they drive like Tijuana drivers too.....
Thank goodness. Being a lifetime traffic policeman, I look forward to navigating traffic like a crazy man with no worries of getting caught. Game on.
yup , getting into Manila airport late on a Friday , the roads are a mess!!
I watched a video taken from a bike in Dumaguette. No way could I handle that stress and noise. It's clearly not for everyone.
I've been to the Philippines 4 times...when visiting my wife's family, I always hugged her grandmother. I had to stand on my knees to hug her, and I think she got a kick out of me getting on my knees to hug her, but I think she really liked it because she would hug me back and hang on for an extra second or two. She passed away 3 years ago and I miss her alot. She was a tough lady that smoked her cigarettes with the lit end in her mouth.and would knock em back with the best of them.
She sounds like the kind of person you just have to love ❤️
You never cease to amaze me as you present the Philippines from an entirely different angle than most do. Luv ya sweet Pea 😋
I have to be different - originality is important 👍❤️
It's really fun to go back and watch your old videos. You have really changed over the years, pretty Miss Pea. Grown in sophistication and become much more physically fit now!
Loving living in the Philippines for almost five years enjoying your awesome videos 🤩
Surprisingly, I had little trouble finding people to fix things in the Philippines. I did a few projects there in the past. There is actually a lot of skilled labor available very inexpensively in the Manila area. Welders, plumbers, and such were not nearly so costly as in the U.S.
Yes, the big cities are like a different world 👍
@@TheFilipinaPea and 2 miles out of the city it is basically like it was before WW2 but with internet... LOL
Its one of the great things about the country , there is always someone wanting to lend a hand, the people are always willing to help you out and if they cant help you they will find someone who can , everyone knows someone that can do whatever is needed, in western society everyone is always too busy.
@@craigsphilippines466 yes, definitely something that has been lost in American culture. My best example is when I was on the roof of my camper and accidently knocked my ladder over. (and stupid me left my cell phone inside). About 15 minutes later a guy was walking by and I asked for help with the ladder. He said "Sure, for 40 bucks." I told him no thanks, I'll figure it out myself, and the A$$ actually moved the ladder further away. Ended up having to hang over the side and drop off. yeah...fun times.
I'll be in the Philippines in June where my mother-in-law washes my clothes by hand all my food is home-cooked I'll be in a small town where you can find the friendliest people in the world
Thank you for being so funny but at the same time teaching us about the Philippines 👍😊
You always bring a smile to my face Pea. Stay safe girl,
Thanks so much, Tom - smiles are contagious and welcome 😁👍
@@TheFilipinaPea Walang anuman
I really enjoyed my time in the Philippines. Very friendly and tolerant people and great food. But at the end of the day I was back on base and back into the lifestyle I was use to. It almost reminds me of living where I do now. My neighbors are Amish but I can go back to my house and I’m back in my spoiled western lifestyle. 😁👍
And I bet you love that spoiled western lifestyle 😂
@@TheFilipinaPea Ha!!! Yeah that’s true.
When were you there? Great food?
Great food ,, ??? You gotta be kidding. I do love Sinigang but other than that ????
It's tolerant unless you are gay or trans, then it is NOT a good place to be. In 22 countries, it is the most anti LGBT place I have been to from government rules to the people themselves.
Very good job my phillapino wife will be very pleased when I show to her
.More please
Since Philippines has been closed to tourists for so long now, I’ve forgotten many small things about life there. Things that I “miss”…I think 🤔 or maybe not.
You miss them until you have to live through them again. Then you miss home 😂
@@TheFilipinaPea BINGO !!!
Queen Filipina Pea: Bravo, Bravo on this enlightening subject of culture in the Philippines. Some things I am accustomed to like elder respect, no public hugging and kissing. Also, not trying to be loud and obnoxious in public. I really love the cultural values of the Philippines which are very understandable. I believe it could be adopted in America and other western countries too. You are a great seminar instructor, leader of thought and example of what people in the Philippines represent positively. I thank you for that. Love the two (2) skits too. Now, time for sharing is caring. Many blessings in the Philippines.
Wow David, you’re up late!!! 😳
@@TheFilipinaPea Yes Queen Filipina Pea, when I watch your videos late. I always have the greatest dreams of being in the Philippines that seem so real. I guess it is because when I had heart operation in 2016 and was clinically dead for 25 minutes. Certain important events make me happiest and that is your channel. So, I dream great, peaceful and happy, thank you so much.
I like how the beauty of the waterfall in the background compliments the beauty of your "cascade" of lovely hair! :)
Interesting info also! It seems there are many pitfalls and opportunities to make big cultural mistakes! Thanks, Pea for your help in avoiding some of them!
I was thinking the same thing about the waterfalls and her hair too.
Hopefully I can help you avoid all those (literal) pitfalls 👍😂
@@DallasCarr-1 Me too, but I didn't say it as poetically.
🙄
Wonderfully informative video! Merci!
Another fantastic video! Thanks!
I guess everywhere has weird quirks, makes for interesting times! The Philippines have the advantage that they have girls like you lovely Pea! 😉🥰❤️
We do have many lovely women here, now that’s a fact! 👍
Hi Glen Proctor lovely women ✅✅
Pea is sure smoking Hot.
@@TheFilipinaPea only one super pea tho
Thank you so much for always giving us the great videos, with your great sense of humor. You really help me, to survive the time, when I can't go to my favourite place in thr world. The Philippines... Greetings from Germany
Well hopefully that’ll change soon ….. I hope ….
Hello exelion1982 have a great day greetings from 🇵🇭
Very interesting
I enjoyed watching a man riding a Carabao or working the fields in these modern times. I had a crazy fast Jeepney driver one time, was relieved to survive. I am Lolo to a sweet, funny little filipina that gives me hugs and runs away hahaha. She just turned two years old, she is pure joy :)
So much is different both in good ways and bad, driving or riding on Philippine streets is a nightmare the first time but you soon get use to the daily scares, it is an experience to live in the PH, and the Filipino people, are some of the very best you will ever meet, take care Pea and keep them coming, Salamat
Thanks for that Randy 👍❤️
Your long hair is beautiful
As a new fan I'm catching up on all your hard work. Very sad watching the typhoon disaster. You were so kind and compassionate. Keep up with the good work. From sean in Ireland 🇮🇪 😀
Thanks so much, Sean, I’m glad you’re enjoying them! I think you’ll like my early ones just as much as my newest ones (I hope). All the topics are still relevant 👍
another great show...thanks
This is an awesome video. Thank you for the great information. I look forward to the next one.
I’m really enjoying your videos. Even though I’ve always had Filipino friends and my MIL’s bf was Filipino, I’m learning new stuff from you. Thanks, and be safe out there.
A year or so ago I was researching moving to SE Asia. I brought the subject up when dating here in the US. WOW that triggered women. Instantly racist and misogynistic against SE Asian women. Can't see too many western women moving to SE Asia. I did find one already living in the Philippines. She was looking to move back to the US...and was bi.
Yup, it’s Very rare to find a single western woman here - very rare 👍😂
@@TheFilipinaPea That's the best thing about SE Asia! 🤣
The reason they are so triggered is because so many Western men prefer SE Asian women to them.
@@BillGreenAZ I am aussie and it's the same here. fat arse aussie shielas with a sh..t load of baggage don't hold a candle to Filipinas.
@@BillGreenAZ Amen to that!
Thankyou Reverend Bill (Al) Green. 😄
Thank you , that was interesting cultural education.
Thank you, very informative
Always funny and educational Pea, even after a dozen visits there, I always learn something new. I sit and smile (and sometimes cringe), as I remember some of my earlier mistakes haha. Oh well no harm done, you live and learn. Thanks for the education. Loving your new backgrounds, beautiful.
I’d love to laugh at - umm, I mean listen to - some of your mistakes, Brian 😂👍
Haha yes I bet you would. I’ll write you out a list 🤣
I really enjoyed this video. Every country has its own culture and even different areas in the same country may have a different. I’ve been to many countries in Asia. The trick is relax and enjoy the culture. Just because it’s different doesn’t make it wrong. You are correct I very seldom got the pat down entering a mall in Philippines but I did get the pat down entering the airport and it was by a female. Interesting and kind of nice. I surprised you didn’t boil the fish bones after you picked them clean and make soup. So wasteful Miss Pea. That soup would go well with tuba.
Everything’s better with tuba 😂
@@TheFilipinaPea nothing like a tuba sunrise. What an awakening for a young sailer fresh off the ranch.
Tuba is such a social thing in Leyte. Something I didn’t see much on Luzon. I call it “coconut pi**”. Everyone we visit offers us some so we drink some to be social and not offend anyone. It makes my lips and tongue numb. We have a small farm with plenty of coconut trees so one of my wife’s family often wants to make it. You think 250 pesos is cheap? We buy it for 150-180 pesos/gal. We never sell any because my wife’s family drinks it all. For a party I bought a bottle of top shelf rum. They turned their nose up at it and drank the tuba. Cute video, Pea. Your pirate ending put a smile on my face. Thanks
Wow, Nice
Love your videos and would love to see more like this one. Knowing the differences helps to not disrespect your culture. Looking forward to seeing your next one
sorry I'm late on viewing...sometimes life gets in the way LOL. Some interesting tidbits. Another reason why I think I'm going to feel more at home in the Philippines. Just some observations based on personal experience and life. Big thing you mentioned was the Philippine people don't seem to hug as much as a greeting. I have always been like that. I just flat out do NOT hug another woman who I am either not related to (and unfortunately none are left with us) or dating/attached. For me it's just a respect thing. And it's caused more than a few incidents in my life while living in the Southeast United States, where hugging is more accepted than handshakes. But I also know that it is also probably the reason I might be more physically affectionate in private with one I care deeply about. Some would call it "smothering", but at least my love has expressed that 24 hours filled with hugs and cuddles (and not necessarily leading to "other" activities) is something she VERY much welcomes!!!
As for the toy price issue, my biggest thought on the price difference is maybe supply and demand. so few people in the PH can afford 7 USD for a "piece of plastic" as opposed to the USA/Europe, let alone 40 USD or more, that not at many of the item will be shipped there (despite the closer location). So fewer numbers of an item will push the price up even more. Here in the US, we are currently experiencing that issue with supply shortages and too much cash in the economy. Lastly, remember a lot of toys, even though made in China, are still considered USA/European products and are subject to both countries' trade agreements and laws. Hence another cause for inflated prices.
There's my 2 cents (I mean pesos LOL) worth of thoughts for today. Looking forward to the house helper video. As always, good work and take care.
As a guy who's been to the Philippines five times to go be with my GF who is now my fiance at this point I can confirm all of this is true LOL it was definitely a culture shock but I think the biggest cultural shot to me was the lack of toilet paper that one threw me off LOL. But I absolutely love the country and its people.
Great video. I would like to see more like this one.
Thanks for the pointers 👍.
Thanks for the video Pea. It might be a little bit outside your genre, but maybe you should do a video on things you found shocking when you traveled to the West. I think that would be fun to see. Love peace and happiness to you and your family.
There were SO many things, too!
Silence
Cool, crisp, clean air
Roads that only had cars on them
A massive number of product options
Unlimited types of food
Etc
Etc
Etc
👍👍
@@TheFilipinaPea I think if you were to come back to the west, you'd be surprised again. The massive number of product options has become a bit limited lately due to some shortages in the stores. Grocery shopping is getting to be a bit more challenging because of it. This past weekend, I was looking for some apple juice in 1 gallon glass containers. I ended up visiting 3 different stores just to get it. I just want the glass containers so I can store distilled water in them after I finish the apple juice. Distilled water is another item I've been having trouble finding lately. I might eventually have to start making my own.
Hey everyone watching here
Hi there, Shella 👍❤️
@@TheFilipinaPea hi pea thanks for the reply and notice i am here always watch your video
@@TheFilipinaPea always watching from ozamis city 🇵🇭
This video was short but informative. You taught in five minutes what took me five years to learn and you even made it amusing.
Nice scenery on the back
A new vid from the Pea is always a treat and yes i learned long time ago already that it is always fun with filipinos
We’re wild, wacky, and wonderful (most of the time) 😂
@@TheFilipinaPea yes. Very pleasant
Now that I moved here I am seeing so many things like this. I shake my head often lol. But I still smile.
As long as you can still smile 😂
Are you a home body or do you get out and explore a lot?
Tip for my fellow travelers. When talking a walk play "Singing in the Rain".
I love the culture, it helps the outside world to see just how simple life and the things in life are. Granted prices are much higher for luxuries than in the US, the point is you can eat, enjoy the outdoors, get what you need at the store in a very simple way. Behaviors are more conservative in that they aren’t flashy and wealthy types, they are there for each other in a heartbeat, neighbors will feed you, it’s the definition of a true community who doesn’t have a rich economy but rich in love and hospitality and great fullness
😅🤣😂 what really got me the first time was the traffic wardens. The manner in which he was waving vehicles to move on. I was on the sidewalk waiting to cross the street. I thought he was calling me to come over. It was hilarious 😅🤣😂
Hahahahaha
We use different hand signals, yes 😂😂😂
Haha
No matter how crappy the news is in the US, I can always count on you, Pea, to give me a laugh with videos like this one 😂
Thanks David - no bad news here (today anyway) 😂
Wow.. super interesting pea 💗
Good video and very funny
After living 12 years in the Philippines, the biggest thing I have noticed , the laws and ediquette is the same as in most other countries, but people dont really care about them, the laws are not policed all that much so people just do their own thing and it works because the Filipino culture is very strong on respect and saving face, so having those two things in society it means no one is going to do anything too outrageous, the Filipino way is to do the right thing unless you have been disrespected. Foreigners think all Filipinos want to rip them off and take your money, but this is not true, its just they look at us as rich and 90% of the time we are, so they just feel we can afford to pay more and we can, most of the time. Its very practicle thinking and its the thinking that doesnt exist in western society, everyone is spoiled, they have too much and expect a lot and want more, Filipino logic is simple and structured, I love this way of thinking and to be homest if not for the corruption, then the Philippines would be a rich country, but I guess in my eyes it is a rich country and if wealth is measured by integrity and strength, then the Philippines is the richest country in the world.
That’s for the friendly impression of my people 👍
@@TheFilipinaPea I consider your people my brothers and sisters, I am married to a Kapampangan, I have spend many years living in your country from living in a Nipa hut out in the jumgle to living in cities of Manila and cebu. I have been all over your amazing country. My experiences has changed me and made me a better man, The Philippines saved my life , literally., I will never have a bad word for the Philippines , whatever a foreigner complains about I just see it as a reason for the true purpose of your people, it is an after effect of what makes the people who they truly are, if the Philippines changed to the way foreigners say it should be, then its just another America or Australia, The Philippines is what is , as soon as something is changed then the ripple effect creates other changes that we might not want, leave it as it is.
Took me a while on this Video I wasn't sure what was more beautiful the view behind Pea or Pea her self then Just before the end I understood about true beauty The view and Pea are just as beautiful . Keep smiling Pea I love .............You're Videos.
Hi dane have a great day
You found beauty at the end? I’ll tell Pirate Pea that she has an admirer 😂
@@TheFilipinaPea haha yes pea the pirate so beautiful hehe
@@TheFilipinaPea lmao you do that for me thanks lol
@@TheFilipinaPea Pirate Pea has at least two admirers. That is my favorite outro.
Very cute and informative pea.

Mall security was a shock, never seen so many guns 💥🔫 Great video Pea 🌴👍
They …. are … EVERYWHERE 😂
great delivery & topic, TY
Thanks KU 👍😊
Good one Mz Pea .....I always learn something new from your videos !!
Happy New Year my friend! One thing I found funny when I was there were the crosswalks. They have the painted pedestrian lines and signs, but you'll get your ass hit if you think driver's will stop for you like here in the west 🤣
Crosswalk - or crosshairs? 😂😂😂
Drivers in the west aren't much better. In Mexico pedestrians are an afterthought in the minds of average motorists.
@@AgathaLOutahere What I found weird about driving in Mexico is how everyone drives out into the intersection before stopping at a stop sign. Why even stop if you are already in the path of cross-traffic?
Same when I was in Russia. Okay in Moscow but once outside the big city beware! 😂
@@TheFilipinaPea 🤣
Regarding security checks at malls, I have been told by security guards that they don’t check male westerners because we don’t carry weapons.
I think it’s that simple….
Wow, then you guys should start carrying weapons! 😂
@@TheFilipinaPea on occasion I may hire a couple armed security for the casino trips. Do you know if body guards can carry guns anywhere?
I love your videos because they are fun AND informative...........Thank You!
Nice
I was laughing when you talked about the traffic in the Philippines. One of my long time FB Pinay friends is a traffic cop. We always joke about that. I tell her I am afraid to go to the Philippines because she might give me a ticket, she jokingly acts very strict, and tells me just not to do any violations. If we ever have a dispute she warns me that I am committing a violation, and instead of fighting, we always laugh.
It sounds like the alcohol Filipino's sell on the street is only wine? We are allowed to make wine & beer in the West, with little regulations. All of the strict laws, are about "moonshine", which is "distilled" alcohol. Wine & beer are safe to make and drink, but distilled alcohol is very dangerous to make, and if made incorrectly, dangerous to drink.
Here in Sweden it is legal to make distilled liquor for personal use. but it is illegal to sell it to others. I the past pretty much every other household had their own distillers in the countryside. Because you know, life is hard, so you need to make party juice to make life more fun...(also, they often became alcoholics...😉😅)
The longer I spend in the Phili, the more I prefer the Philipino way. Lots of thing here in the west just doesn't make any sense. :-)
Then maybe you’ll fit right in here 👍❤️
Thanks for the info 👍🏽
Interesting ! Another , very good one ... gubs
This is one of your best. You are truly entertaining.
We Filipinos are kind and happy person.
❤️❤️❤️
