I love the Philippines and can't wait to go back, I too have visited many countries but by far they are the friendliest people I have met and they make my heart melt
Visiting the philippines has and still is one of my dreams. Ive been putting so much time and effort into learning so much about the philippines. Im taking filipino lessons currently. My mom is very interested in the philippines as well. Im curently 14 and my mother is thinking of traveling to the philippines for my 15th or 16th birthday. I cant wait! ♡
You dont need to learn much about Filipino language most of the people in Philippines can speak English language.. And If you're planning on visiting then i suggest to search a good spot/tourist attraction to visit on the area where you will stay though i most of the tourist spot now is restricted or not operating due to pandemic.
@@DustinBackpacks Just watched your other videos. It seems you're really blessed. You have this gift, that people just loves giving you stuff. I hope your knee feels a lot better now. Take care!
Hey Dustin I am also from Michigan. I have been to the Philippines about 6 times and will be moving there in January. Love this video and how it shows the warmth of the Filipino people. Enjoy Brother
Hey thanks Michael. Yea that sounds like me I keep going back : ) I’ll be headed back to the Philippines this November and staying a while. Enjoy your time there and thanks for watching 🙏😊
Definitely the most gentle,respectful I've ever met,I'm from south Africa,visited dubai for 17 days last year,were treated with utmost respect by Filipinos,never saw anyone arguing,fighting,swearing😊
Omg the best part of my day is seeing these lovely friendly people. How sweetly they treating. This makes me feel to visit Philippines and meet some of my online Filipino friends.
This is the reason I really like Filipinos I enjoy with them..they really like to smile even in hard times.. even they were poor they are so rich inside..they give even they don't have..
I love this. I’m Chinese, born raised in the Philippines and now living in Sacramento. I grew up in the Divisoria area, specifically our townhouse is now 168 Mall. That area is considered Chinatown when I was growing up. I hope you visit the main Chinatown street as it is the oldest Chinatown in the world.
study more Philippines is not the first China town in the world.in fact malacca is. in Philippines established in 1600 and Malacca in 1400 the first place of general Zheng he in land out side China. see the relation between China and Malacca in TH-cam.
@@DustinBackpacks cool my friend! I enjoyed watching your vlog, nice interactions with the locals. Filipinos are always happy and entertaining. I was born in Mindanao, grew up in Visayas the central part and went to pursue my study in Manila. Immigrated here in US in '91. Mabuhay! 🇵🇭
I have lived here 17 months and still struggle with Tagalog and Bisaya. You are very brave to go to Divisoria alone. Not because it is dangerous, but because you don't speak the language. Filipinos are the friendliest people on the planet. I have many friends here now but everyone wants to practice their English so I am slow to learn Tagalog. Also Bisaya, and my wife and kids are Bisaya. I think my head is too hard.
the struggle is hard! I wish I was better at learning languages but I just cant do it haha. I am very lucky many people do speak english here. It sounds like your enjoying your life in the Philippines good for you! I love it here : ) take care my friend! 🙏🙂
@@DustinBackpacks If you are married to a Filipina it is not hard but takes time. If you are not married to a Filipina - good luck getting a quota visa. Otherwise, you can stay here for two years, leave the country for a day, and come back and reset your two years. If you are here longer than 2 months, you have to get ACR card.

@@carl_elfsj4693 lmao. Are we comparing other countries pick pockets here? The answer is NO. So put your comment in the right context. PERIOD. But since you are curious if there's difference then yea, in Philippines the pickpockets are ugly, in other country they are so are gorgeous and look like a model that you would not even know they are pick pockets. 😂😂😂
Hi Dustin. Without doubt Filipinos are the Friendliest people I have ever met. Always feel welcome when I am in the Philippines and they always have a smile for you and very polite and helpful. You have to watch your head when you get in those jeepnies. I have hit my head a few times lol :)
Dustin Borglin Travels the government started modernizing the jeepneys making it more higher so you can stand and all entrance will be on the right side like a mini bus. They are trying to phase out those old style jeepneys esp the very old ones.
Yes. Yes they are. It's a broad generalization but Filipinos would give you the shirt off of their backs or their last bite of food if you really needed it. I have been to the Philippines 7 times and spent many months there. It is a beautiful place filled with the most beautiful (inside) people. Mahal kita Philippines!
@@deee8784 yah,a lot of the white people come to philippines when they retired,coz they realized ife in philippines is simple and its fun.you enjoy the life every single day!
Filipinos are hilarious AF. 😂😂😂 If you are from a different place, you will usually receive this kind of treatment no matter what your nationality is. I went to Cebu and I’m from Manila, and the people there were so welcoming. I’ve been to different parts of the Philippines and most of them are like this. 👌
Exactly, part of my job is going to different places in the philippines. I'm pinoy na pinoy, the looks, the color, and still they are very hospitable to me. It feels just like my home is just around the corner. Pinoy or Foreigner hospitable ang pinoy.
This kind of friendliness and openess I have never experieced living in America. In America, if you are a stranger, people automatically act guarded towards you. They may be polite but not friendly. When you are friendly to strangers in America people think you have an ulterior motive. This video makes me want to go back to the Philippines and never return to the US but I have to work in the US!!
I wish this happened more around the world! I will be back in the Philippines this December I miss is so much! I hope you make it back to the Philippines sometime my friend take care 🙏🙂
I can say that I'm really proud to be a Filipino, these vendors despite their super busy work gave time for you. Have a good time here buddy!God bless!
Me as a Filipino, I was proud to see my fellow Filipinos being hospitable and friendly. I am happy how warm hearted they are despite how not financially stable they are, they still has the courage to help people. Thank you for loving the Philippines!
True.. Very clean now and many areas in Manila too, Jones Bridge, Metropolitan Theater, Philpost and others very clean and new style now a total renovations
Hi, Sir Dustin. You know what, watching this Vlog makes me feel proud of being a Filipino. I have a teary eye right now because of this video. One thing that I am sure and that is Filipinos are always hospitable. You all are always welcome in our country. 💓 I'm from the Land of PH. 😊😇❤
Hey Leo thanks a lot for taking the time to watch and comment! it really means a lot. I will be back in the Philippines this November It's hard to wait! : ) take care my friend from the Philippines!
You remind me of that guy on a documentary called, ‘The Happiness Project’. He is this rich guy who travelled the world not spending anything but just relying on the kindness of strangers. Just amazing...you inspire a lot of good deeds in people.
I'm laughing so hard! Kamote is sweet potato. You literally went overboard with becoming a Filipino, Dustin! Good job! And yes, we are the friendliest people on this planet! Have a great time with us! And I would also like to reiterate that you're a very kind-hearted person. You deserve all the smiles that we give you.
😂 im glad it made you laugh i had a great time : ) thanks for the kind words my friend! I can't wait to get back to the Philippines! take care and hope to see you around!
Hi Sir Dustin! Forgive them for laughing everytime they speak english. They're trying their best just to express themselves in english. It's so hilarous for them since we always laugh at someome who doesnt speak well enlglish. We laugh for twisted grammars, spellings and pronounciation. Sometimes, these people you talked to in divisoria feels proud to themselves just by saying at least a full sentence. Thats why they are laughing everytime they speak. They laugh instead of being shy. Please dont be offended.
Hey Edwin! I had such a great time in Divisoria! Everyone I met was so nice and friendly, I will be back in December I am counting down the days, take care my friend hope you visit back to my channel sometime : )
@@DustinBackpacks I will not visit your channel sometimes. I will always watch it. I'd like to suggest to put your bag in front of you. I noticed that you are carrying it on your back while you are walking in the streets of divisoria. I know filipinos are friendly and nice but there are still bad people here. So take care of your things and be a little bit careful when you are roaming around divisoria, quiapo and recto. Also, put your wallet in your pocket where you can easily feel it. You too my friend, always have a nice life. Even though in the times of bad circumstances. Be like us. Always finding our way to be happy and do not let the things pulls us down. There is this mentality in us that we dont face the problems that seriously straight head on to us. We let the problems face us with dignity and strength in us. Thats why sometimes we always find a way to smile and laugh. Take care my friend. When you embrace us filipinos, you are instantly became one of us and you will never be forgotten.
Wow. You actually replied to every comment? Amazing. Haha. Would have loved to meet you when you were here in the PH. :) but I am glad you found friendly people.
@@DustinBackpacks bro, tinapa is smoked fish in english.what you ate was mackerel scad fish or galunggin in tagalog. The bigger ones on the side was smoked bangus/milk fish.
If you respect the locals in the Philippines, expect them to treat you the best way in return.. They are just amused on how you handle yourself genuinely with them because thats how we socialize in a day to day basis.. Bye the way, i found the content of your video so realistic. I loved the light atmosphere you created while youre with them..
hey Ellis thanks for the comment! i had such a fun time making this video, I am missing the Philippines evryday, I can't wait to get back there. thanks for watching it means a lot, take care 🙂🙏
I noticed that too.. not edited.. raw video blog, really cool to watch... Thanks Dustin , we appreciate how you connect easily to filipino even , the moment they started to call you "my friend" , And make cracked jokes... 😁😁 You seems a good man.. with a good heart... Take care
we are not a perfect country but for the best of our ability majority of filipinos will always try to help those who are in need .....even to the last cents in our pockets...........your video shows the real smiles of every filipinos and all were clearly genuine!......i am a filipino and thanks for coming here :-)
Wow Sir Dustin your so down to earth that's why Filipinos in divisoria so comfy to talked to you and offer everything they have. I'm going to visit the divisoria and I will buy to their item and I will tell them that I watched them thru your vlog :)
Apple green thanks! That would be awesome! they are a fun group of people! I hope to make it back there my self soon, maybe they won't know Dustin but maybe Justin 😂😂
They all welcomed you. That's really nice to watch that you had great time in there. Enjoy your trip mate Thanks for sharing this with us. Full view and big thumbs up from us 👍👍 👍👍 👍
Kmjs brought me here. Good luck and God bless you Dustin. Because of KMJS program u became well known to entire country. Expect that u will be love by all Filipinos because of your big heart. Take care!
@@mediviclozada4027 yes! We end up mixing the words or inventing it and laugh it 0ff😅 just like how the lady who treated him with ginataan called sweet potato a "kamote crop" 😆
OMG. I can't believe this. Filipinoes aren't just friendly but giving too. It's like you are really welcome here by showinh you kindness. You're lucky!
yah,filipinos are very kind..we will treat you as a family or a brothers and sister,..because we are the ispiritual israel of God! we are nation under God.
a very nice video, seeing a Foreigner in Divisoria alone, its crazy but amazing, and yes! Filipino is the most friendliest People on Earth, number #1 in Hospitality, new subs. here,long way from Kuwait, but 100% Filipino
This is ridiculously addictive watching!! These are local down to earth people who have the patience and warmth you will never get from others.. I am a Filipino and I have experienced similar to this.. so not just for foreigners, as long as you're open, humble and fun to be around..
@BennyAV - WE SELL THEM during the holidays Pssssh! Yes a few beans are added for aroma and that's it. Some sellers even use ball bearings instead of pebbles.
My family was a vendor too in Divisoria. We grew up there life is really tough there. But one thing for sure what they did to you is a normal thing to them. Bec my mother did that too.
"I love Philippines!, ate girl replied : I love you too!😂😂😂 such a good laugh,made my day!😂😂😂I miss you Philippines ! I like this video so natural so funny
Not all regular foreigners here are getting attentions like what you had here man. You have to be really special to be treated like that with bunch of people in every streets of Manila. It means pre-covid days, there is really something in you. Thats why Filipinos really loves you, Dustin.
What you have experienced is genuine hospitality. I am happy that you enjoyed your stay in our country. Come back soon after this pandemic. Try the countrysides, there's a lot more!
They said, you're a beautiful man, they meant was you're handsome/ good looking guy-- in Filipino language "gwapo" 😊 Oh wow! I'm impressed with how adventurous you were in this trip. I love to travel as well, but I'm quite cautious with people around me. I find it fascinating with the way you get along with different ppl. Stay safe, & have fun Dustin! I think you'll get through anything, wherever you'll go.. God bless 😊
It's hard not to love the Philippines . So friendly so kind so outgoing so hospitable I love the Philippines what a beautiful place beautiful people.. you got to always have pulutan when Tagay pa more. I live in the Manila area for about 2 and 1/2 years in Valenzuela City down from monumental so many times so many places i travel by myself and people were always friendly to share...i Miss Philippines..... watching your videos are helping me with my(MPNS) missing Philippines now syndrome hahaha
Coming over for a cup of coffee, a few minutes later they're already introducing you to a local Pinay. Filifino in a nutshell! Hahaha! Seriously tho i was laughing and smiling while watching the entire video.
Wow! Came across with your vlogs and I thought it was awesome. **you just want to buy shoes, but you brought home JOY. Enjoy the rest of your stay in my humble country. Keep safe!
Your Sinulog video brought me here. New sub here. It's great that you interacted with the locals. They cracked jokes with you and offered you drinks. Pinoys treat you as a friend.... a warm welcome.
it's more like you have entertained everyone you met there in divisoria... you just gave them a quick day-off kinda thing hahaha.... but my goodness i hope your stomach didn't get upset eating those food they gladly offered. otherwise you were a good one to watch. i just hit that subscribe and like button.... wanna see more of your future adventures! take care kaibigan (friend)!
Its good that u go with Raymond family who are good ang honest. They are really hospitable and warm people. Hope in your future travel anywhere u go u can find like them ' cuz you're also an amazing and kind person. God Bless u Dustin!
Many vloggers are in the Philippines because we are social media crazy people and are suckers for foreigners who heap praises on anything Pinoy and anything else to gain subscribers and that is why we have many foreign vloggers
Because we want our visitors feel at home and welcomed, more confortable...I should say we are naturally positive and happy people, to be honest we really like foreigners because we like to have friends from other countries, we intertain foreigners not for money and tourist but to be a friend thats all thank you!
@@DustinBackpackswe Filipinos smiles a lot to de-stress ourselves from the hardships of our everyday living( ..in reality that doesnt work all the time :) )..its part of our culture of being welcomy to all kinds of visitors whether youre a foreigner, a relative or a friend who visits your workplace, or your house. Because you gave and spent even a little bit of your time to us, we felt special and thats our own way of giving back in return...you sounded like a good guy too..
This video is the best video that explains how the people are in the Philippines. This is what I’ve been searching for watching videos after videos. And here it is !!! Excellent video sir, can’t wait for the next one lol
started watching you when you were with Raymond and Reche. Then back tracked to when you started vlogging about 3 years ago. You have just the right personality and people respond to your genuine self. God Bless you.
I never watched vlog before until i saw this video dustin is so simple really down to earth i hope you having fun visiting our beloved place im sure every pilipino watch this will be proud to you and you earn our respect 😊😊

But since you are curious if there's difference then yea, in Philippines the pickpockets are ugly, in other country they are so are gorgeous and look like a model that you would not even know they are pick pockets. 😂😂😂
Hi Dustin. Without doubt Filipinos are the Friendliest people I have ever met. Always feel welcome when I am in the Philippines and they always have a smile for you and very polite and helpful. You have to watch your head when you get in those jeepnies. I have hit my head a few times lol :)
Yes they are so friendly! I have hit my head many times 😂😂 wish they were just a bit higher haha
Dustin Borglin Travels the government started modernizing the jeepneys making it more higher so you can stand and all entrance will be on the right side like a mini bus. They are trying to phase out those old style jeepneys esp the very old ones.
Wahahah
All About The Philippines
I feel ya. I've lost count on how many times I've hit my head getting on and off jeepneys and I'm a Filipino at that. Lol
😂😂😂
Yes. Yes they are. It's a broad generalization but Filipinos would give you the shirt off of their backs or their last bite of food if you really needed it. I have been to the Philippines 7 times and spent many months there. It is a beautiful place filled with the most beautiful (inside) people. Mahal kita Philippines!
🙏🙂
Thank you Steven
Our Filipino culture is painted with a ton of “happy” characters ,That is why it is more “fun in the Philippines”...
I agree!
Indeed
Seeing this video makes me think to really consider retiring later in the Philippines.
@@deee8784 yah,a lot of the white people come to philippines when they retired,coz they realized ife in philippines is simple and its fun.you enjoy the life every single day!
Filipinos are hilarious AF. 😂😂😂 If you are from a different place, you will usually receive this kind of treatment no matter what your nationality is. I went to Cebu and I’m from Manila, and the people there were so welcoming. I’ve been to different parts of the Philippines and most of them are like this. 👌
: )
We have the habit of saying kain or lets eat even if we are eating just a meal 🤣
being mean and cold is forbidden in philippnes apparently
Exactly, part of my job is going to different places in the philippines. I'm pinoy na pinoy, the looks, the color, and still they are very hospitable to me. It feels just like my home is just around the corner. Pinoy or Foreigner hospitable ang pinoy.
Thanks IM CEBUANO
They're nice people. Salam from Indonesia :) hope someday I can go visit Philipina
I hope you can too I think you will like it there
You are welcome brother.. Hahahaha we Filipino and Indonesian had a same Family origin.. ❤
Alaykum salam
Your so kind sir Dustin.. divisoria lots of crazy friendly funny good hearted person.. 💖
i can't wait to go back there! : )
27mins straight, havent got boring! Cool video dustin. Keep on making cool videos!
Thanks so much for watching it means a lot!! 😊😀🙏
This kind of friendliness and openess I have never experieced living in America. In America, if you are a stranger, people automatically act guarded towards you. They may be polite but not friendly. When you are friendly to strangers in America people think you have an ulterior motive. This video makes me want to go back to the Philippines and never return to the US but I have to work in the US!!
I wish this happened more around the world! I will be back in the Philippines this December I miss is so much! I hope you make it back to the Philippines sometime my friend take care 🙏🙂
@@DustinBackpacks I will be there this year on December. I visit my parents who live there once a year.
I can say that I'm really proud to be a Filipino, these vendors despite their super busy work gave time for you. Have a good time here buddy!God bless!
thanks a lot my friend take care : )
Always happy to lend a hand...
Enjoy !!!
Hello everyone, outstanding,what a amazing video. Thanks.👍👍🌹
Thanks! 😀
Me as a Filipino, I was proud to see my fellow Filipinos being hospitable and friendly. I am happy how warm hearted they are despite how not financially stable they are, they still has the courage to help people. Thank you for loving the Philippines!
Divisoria is now clean and wide because of the new mayor
oh wow, i kinda liked it like this
True
@Ryan Rowil
True but....I only see it in the News ;-;
Im not from Manila ;-;
Really
True.. Very clean now and many areas in Manila too, Jones Bridge, Metropolitan Theater, Philpost and others very clean and new style now a total renovations
Hi, Sir Dustin. You know what, watching this Vlog makes me feel proud of being a Filipino. I have a teary eye right now because of this video. One thing that I am sure and that is Filipinos are always hospitable. You all are always welcome in our country. 💓
I'm from the Land of PH. 😊😇❤
Hey Leo thanks a lot for taking the time to watch and comment! it really means a lot. I will be back in the Philippines this November It's hard to wait! : ) take care my friend from the Philippines!
You remind me of that guy on a documentary called, ‘The Happiness Project’. He is this rich guy who travelled the world not spending anything but just relying on the kindness of strangers. Just amazing...you inspire a lot of good deeds in people.
I'll try to check that out 🙂
I'm laughing so hard! Kamote is sweet potato. You literally went overboard with becoming a Filipino, Dustin! Good job! And yes, we are the friendliest people on this planet! Have a great time with us!
And I would also like to reiterate that you're a very kind-hearted person. You deserve all the smiles that we give you.
😂 im glad it made you laugh i had a great time : ) thanks for the kind words my friend! I can't wait to get back to the Philippines! take care and hope to see you around!
And 'pulutan' is condiments. Not appetizer lol
@@mynameissaiki1115 ate ang condiments yung tulad ng asin, mga sawsawan, mga pampalasa. Pulutan can be appetizers, finger foods, amuse bouche.
Don't romanticize too much 🥀
Saba diha martin hahaha
Hi Sir Dustin! Forgive them for laughing everytime they speak english. They're trying their best just to express themselves in english. It's so hilarous for them since we always laugh at someome who doesnt speak well enlglish. We laugh for twisted grammars, spellings and pronounciation. Sometimes, these people you talked to in divisoria feels proud to themselves just by saying at least a full sentence. Thats why they are laughing everytime they speak. They laugh instead of being shy. Please dont be offended.
Hey Edwin! I had such a great time in Divisoria! Everyone I met was so nice and friendly, I will be back in December I am counting down the days, take care my friend hope you visit back to my channel sometime : )
@@DustinBackpacks I will not visit your channel sometimes. I will always watch it.
I'd like to suggest to put your bag in front of you. I noticed that you are carrying it on your back while you are walking in the streets of divisoria. I know filipinos are friendly and nice but there are still bad people here. So take care of your things and be a little bit careful when you are roaming around divisoria, quiapo and recto. Also, put your wallet in your pocket where you can easily feel it.
You too my friend, always have a nice life. Even though in the times of bad circumstances. Be like us. Always finding our way to be happy and do not let the things pulls us down. There is this mentality in us that we dont face the problems that seriously straight head on to us. We let the problems face us with dignity and strength in us. Thats why sometimes we always find a way to smile and laugh.
Take care my friend. When you embrace us filipinos, you are instantly became one of us and you will never be forgotten.
@@edwindelacruz2280 Thank you my friend
@@edwindelacruz2280 can't agree more sir.
Edwin Dela Cruz I feel ur sincerity to Dustin, much respect to you.
Wow. You actually replied to every comment? Amazing. Haha. Would have loved to meet you when you were here in the PH. :) but I am glad you found friendly people.
It was a fun day 🙂🙏
This is the most entertaining travel vlog I've seen. You awesome Dustin!
hey thanks I Mac! I cant wait to start traveling again, just a few more months : ) take care
I AGREE, I WAS LAugjhing to see somebody taking his tinapa snacks
Agree. 100%
@@DustinBackpacks bro, tinapa is smoked fish in english.what you ate was mackerel scad fish or galunggin in tagalog. The bigger ones on the side was smoked bangus/milk fish.
@@walternavarro1106 hahaha
If you respect the locals in the Philippines, expect them to treat you the best way in return.. They are just amused on how you handle yourself genuinely with them because thats how we socialize in a day to day basis.. Bye the way, i found the content of your video so realistic. I loved the light atmosphere you created while youre with them..
hey Ellis thanks for the comment! i had such a fun time making this video, I am missing the Philippines evryday, I can't wait to get back there. thanks for watching it means a lot, take care 🙂🙏
I noticed that too.. not edited.. raw video blog, really cool to watch... Thanks Dustin , we appreciate how you connect easily to filipino even , the moment they started to call you "my friend" , And make cracked jokes... 😁😁
You seems a good man.. with a good heart... Take care
@@fengzb6115 thanks you take care too : )
@@fengzb6115 ahahaha
Ellis: Well said... You nailed it.

It's always a funny content to pit an ordinary pinoys with an english speaking foreigner coz they enjoy practicing their english knowledge
I loved these guys they were great! Lol
It's true. The challenge of english is fun for most of Pinoys.
@@yzarcmw7794 the more they struggle on it, the more hilarious the conversation turns out to be
@@mediviclozada4027 yes! We end up mixing the words or inventing it and laugh it 0ff😅 just like how the lady who treated him with ginataan called sweet potato a "kamote crop" 😆
@@yzarcmw7794 literally nangangamote kakaingles :)
Friendly is an understatement, That was crazy friendly I should say! LMAO!!!
Awesome video, really enjoyed watching it!

I don't know why this video was recommended... But it's one of my favourite videos ever.
It was a fun day 😄
A very good vibe video..it made my day..🙂it's the real essence of " It's more fun in the Philippines".

❤🙂
I believe in the saying "If you have LOVE in your heart then, you are the richest man in the universe"
You are so brave doing this on your own! What a fun life, my friend!
a very nice video, seeing a Foreigner in Divisoria alone, its crazy but amazing, and yes! Filipino is the most friendliest People on Earth, number #1 in Hospitality, new subs. here,long way from Kuwait, but 100% Filipino
Hey my friend thanks so much for the sub it means so much! I hope your having a great day : )
This is ridiculously addictive watching!! These are local down to earth people who have the patience and warmth you will never get from others.. I am a Filipino and I have experienced similar to this.. so not just for foreigners, as long as you're open, humble and fun to be around..
that why I am addicted to the Philippines! : ) thanks so much for watching I appreciate it!
Filipinos are really friendly and Jolly people, and hospitable. We all care for all the foreigners around here. Enjoy your stay here in Philippines...
Why my fellow Filipino is so crazy😂😂😂😂😂.I love this kind of vlog. I was smiling the whole time..
crazy in a good way! 😂😂
8:30 They don't boil the Chestnuts (Castañas / Kastanyas), they Roast them with Pebbles in that big Pan they showed you. No water is required.
i hope i get to watch them next time, thanks for the info my friend!
@@DustinBackpacks Not pebbles, those are coffee beans chestnuts are roasted with.
They are pebbles @BernyAV.
@@genkuroshuriken3502 Next time you see somebody selling and actually roasting Chestnuts, ask them. Don't just jump into conclusions. Pebbles. Pssh.
@BennyAV - WE SELL THEM during the holidays Pssssh! Yes a few beans are added for aroma and that's it. Some sellers even use ball bearings instead of pebbles.
I came back to ur old vedios to know more about u and i found out that u are really a blessing to everyone, stay safe Dustine
Thanks for watching
My family was a vendor too in Divisoria. We grew up there life is really tough there. But one thing for sure what they did to you is a normal thing to them. Bec my mother did that too.
I loved it there they really made me feel welcome : )
I will definitely visit the philippines very soon the place looks beautiful and awesome
You won't regret it
This is the vlog that I'm looking for. Awesome. Fantastic.
Thanks! I am home saving for my next trip I'll be back this December I hope you stick around until then 🙂🙏

Its now spacious and clean..new Mayors rule.😍
Oh wow, i will make sure to go visit it the next time I am there : )
True
i see you walked into the classic Filipino trap we like call "TAGAY PARE!" lol
I'm glad I did! 😂
@@DustinBackpacks congratulations for experiencing the "tagay pare" culture in the ph👍
I laughed so hard. This video is so funny.😂😂😂 Filipinos are indeed a happy people.

😅😅
Hahaha🤣🤣 the girl, "take care of youre self coz i take of you"🤣🤣🤣🥰thats the filipino humor like me🤣🥰
Not all regular foreigners here are getting attentions like what you had here man. You have to be really special to be treated like that with bunch of people in every streets of Manila. It means pre-covid days, there is really something in you. Thats why Filipinos really loves you, Dustin.
That's because he's also friendly,,
thanks to all Filipinos in divisoria...mabuhay po kayong lahat! Proud Filipino blood!
i can't wait to go back and see them all again : )

many bloger stay in the ph becouse of the people i think😄😊yes we are so friendly ..people
haha yes, what is your secret, why are you so friendly? 😂
becouse we like foriegner
Many vloggers are in the Philippines because we are social media crazy people and are suckers for foreigners who heap praises on anything Pinoy and anything else to gain subscribers and that is why we have many foreign vloggers
Because we want our visitors feel at home and welcomed, more confortable...I should say we are naturally positive and happy people, to be honest we really like foreigners because we like to have friends from other countries, we intertain foreigners not for money and tourist but to be a friend thats all thank you!
@@DustinBackpackswe Filipinos smiles a lot to de-stress ourselves from the hardships of our everyday living( ..in reality that doesnt work all the time :) )..its part of our culture of being welcomy to all kinds of visitors whether youre a foreigner, a relative or a friend who visits your workplace, or your house. Because you gave and spent even a little bit of your time to us, we felt special and thats our own way of giving back in return...you sounded like a good guy too..
This video is the best video that explains how the people are in the Philippines. This is what I’ve been searching for watching videos after videos. And here it is !!! Excellent video sir, can’t wait for the next one lol
Thanks Trent!
