All of us foreigners living in the Philippines are under the microscope in this country. Please be on your best behavior when here. Yeah, I don't like masks, but I comply when anyone asks me to where one. I've only been living for about 3 months, but I love the people and country of the Philippines. This has been what I call a reset in my life after my wife of almost 25 years passed from cancer in 2020. Just remember we are all examples of our home country. Hopefully I will live in the Philippines for the rest of my life. Great video. Thanks & God Bless!!!✝️♥️🙏
In the PH if you aren't getting cut off you are the only one on the road. It angers me that people aren't even trying to fit in when they move to a new country. If you aren't a chill person stay the hell out of the PH !
It really doesn't matter if you are right, if you publicly shame or cause a Filipino to lose face all you achieve is to draw attention to yourself and made an enemy besides losing the respect of bystanders. As a non citizen it is a lot more comfortable life if you don't draw attention to yourself. Easy to say but in some circumstances not so easy to comply.
Everyone has emotions, we all get mad, sad, happy, Angry That's what makes up human. But not everyone responds the same. Foreigners aren't the only one's who raises their voice or Gets angry when they get cut off. My filipina LDR says her daughter honks at & flips people off who does her the same way. Why do people expect foreigners to not have emotions Or respond like a robot? That seems very unrealistic to expect of anyone Native or foreigner to me.
@J Lynn Burton. You're right. Do we all have to be subdued morons and take crap from locals, simply because we chose to live there independently, not relying on the Philippines Government for support. No i don't agree with that philosophy, we are human beings too, not to be pushed around by anyone. Filipino's also need to learn about foreigners culture, that we are not just a bunch of wealthy idiots with no brains, because sadly that is how the vast majority see us at this present time. That we're dumb, with too much money. That is why they can be very disrespectful towards us and rude. I lived there for several years, and i am not dumb, and my wife and i are self sufficient not relying on anyone else for support. Respect, is a two way street. I'm not a guest there, i was not invited to live there, it was my choice, no one else.
@@piratecovephilippines4711 So i'm an asshat for having an opinion and saying what i believe in? I'm an 82yo veteran soldier and i can say what i want and i do not not necessarily agree or disagree with other peoples opinions. And you Sir are downright rude.
I agree, but here in America if you dared say a person from another country needed to remember there a guest you would be blackballed. We're not even allowed to call someone a foreigner
@Quid Pro Quo. Bullshit, i am married to a Filipina for more than a quarter of a century. We have our own home there and we do not rely on any help from the Authorities there to survive. I had a Residency Card entitling me to be there, I AM NOT A GUEST in the Philippines. I contribute to the economy of the Philippines. It was my choice to choose to live there, no one invited me to come there. In my country of origin we do not tell new immigrants they are a guest. They are welcomed.
The Foreigner paid the food panda driver p2500 for damages to his sunglasses and the food he messed with. Happened at Howling Dogs in Cebu, All good now
Happy Farthers Day Walter ! YES very good video ! BTW did you see the videobof the guard that got runover by an white SUV . Both Filipinos but driver was son of rich family . I dont know for sure but chismis says no charges . My Asawa to be sent the video to me.
And you have to remember this is not a free Society. At least in the states you have an opportunity whether you're a citizen or not to have Fair trial. Here it's not quite the same. That's why I would never stay in this country long. Of time.
1 foreigner has a bad day and ALL foreigners are like that, but 1 Filipina scams someone and not ALL are like that. You don't judge an entire countries people based off of 1 persons actions, EVERY country has their good and bad people. If you feel or know you're having a bad day, maybe just go home, take a deep breath,relax, and wait until tomorrow to do whatever it is you needed to do. No one is guaranteed tomorrow, you should try to enjoy life.
In my time in the Phils I did tend to put expats into main 4 catergories those who fell in love with the Filipinos and the country and those who are running away from something what ever that may be and then the bad ones. Generally the first group are cool most of the time, heat and endless ques will test anyone but generally pretty cool people. The second group seem to have brought what ever they are running away from with them and seem uptight and easily stressed . The third are stressed and leaving issues behind but are instantly chilled by the island life style. The forth are a bad bunch involved in international online crime and taking advantage of the non expidite policy of the Philippines, yes they exist and yes I met some bragging about what theyre upto..... not so smart !. Fortunatly the biggest group of expats fall into the first group so dont worry Philippines.
Your cat is Sooooo cute.., I don't blame the foreigner... even Filipinos coming home from other countries..can't stand the drivers here in the phils.. and some travel vlogger were so amazed how drivers drive their car...how they keep changing different lanes...
I'm surprised he was still breathing. Try that in Samar or Southern Mindanao, getting beat up would be the least of his worries. AND no one will see or say anything. Just walk away.
Not a smart idea for a road rage to happen there esp. if you’re in the PI.You will get hurt,esp.if you confront a wrong person.Remember you’re only a guest there.The natives there will get your ass!

Exactly !
Thanks for watching
A lot of expats think that the locals need to adjust to them. That's not going to happen, not in Asia. Not anytime soon or in our lifetime.
Exactly
so true. Keep your cool, smile, be friendly, and have a positive attitude. You and Kulas of Becoming Filipino are a great example of this. Power on!
Thanks for watching
Whether your a tourist , visiting or even live in a foreign country. You are a guest and more importantly your an ambassador for your own country.
Exactly !
Great content Walter. Keep the videos coming! Thank you!
Thank you for your support

Getting angry over a situation is one thing, but loosing control is another.
And remember , the locals don't get deported.
You are so right how ridiculous it is to ask people to put their emotions completely in neutral a hundred percent of the time that is ridiculous

Great advice. Foriegners should remember, regardless our visa status, we are guests in the Philippines - and we should act like it.

@@jonathancoffman4311 Another tip. The Philippines is not the United States.
Doesn't matter how things are done In the US.

I've heard stories of foreigners "snapping" a little bit sometimes...People got to remember to exercise and get variety in their lives.
Welcome back to the Hot Vlogging Jungle Brother, great content and the Makuliit Pusa in the Bay Window is always a plus !!

All good unless immigration gets involved.

Yes that one has been all over the news here.

I've been here for many years , have friends living here for 20+ years and never a problem.
It's not hard, just don't act stupid.

Unfortunately the actions of just a few can make us all look bad.
Great commentary and advice. It's the Philippines....not America. Take a deep breath...have a beer...enjoy life.

Does not pay to get angry and go off on someone in the PH.
You can take the angry person out of the US, but not the anger out of the foreigner.
It's not just foreigners from the US. They come here from all over the world.
The one with no mask was even on TV.
I remember now, they definitely made a big deal over that one.
Thanks for watching
You are too funny!
In my time in the Phils I did tend to put expats into main 4 catergories those who fell in love with the Filipinos and the country and those who are running away from something what ever that may be and then the bad ones.
