What are social norms/"taboos" that you think should be challenged?
Randomly doing karaoke all day and all night, parking in front of neighbors' driveways, littering or burning garbage,, among other things.
since you guys talked about divorce, The Absolute Divorce bill was passed by the final reading in the Senate so basically anytime soon, it will be legal already in the Philippines
In the Philippines we also have similar concept with Yakuza, where people have a specific tattoo connected to a particular group of people or fraternity. Like my so of my friends' dad, they have specific tattoo in their arm and each design symbolizes a certain group, like a distinction that you belong to this or that org.
Good topic being discussed in this episode. I get to know different countries ideas, understanding of tabboo, about accepting LGBT, tattoos, gambling. Interesting topics. Hope more interesting discussion to come.Good luck.
Filipino here:
- I don’t have a single tattoo in my body for reasons that I can imagine myself getting old to about in my 90’s and realizing that tattoos would look bad on my future wrinkly skin.
- I also epilate my underarm regularly. I only use stick deodorant and they stick to the hair & I end up with white specks on my underarm which turns up to be my deodorant. Also, my underarm smelled better & has been cooler ever since I started epilating my underarm.
17:38 daaang~ Ate Issa sure hit the nail in this one really I felt the "ooommf" there kinda painful but I'm glad that atleast it was brought up
It's not taboo to my family, regards to money problems. Yun ang topic namen 70% of the time. I think most filipinos can agree. Ang dame nga nagrereklamo na walang pera. Madame nagrarally kung pwede taasan yung sahod or minimum wage.heheheh
@@AninoAngPangalan good for you then
I used to have a patient that works in correctional/justice department. He told me that the perception was wrong. Because the truth is that in jail, the more the tattoos means the more that they are the weakling. That they have no power to say no when someone (senior or a ruling inmate) wanted to practice their tattoo skills. Be scared on the cleaner skin, or much less tattoo as they are the ones that call the shots, or they're the one that the rest are fearful of.
Love this discussion! can't wait for future eps!
Thanks for posting👍
Intelligent conversation ❣️❣️❣️
We need more Asians in the squad. Love diversity ❤️
My male cousin on my father's side got a tattoo, and when his father found out, he was kicked out of the house.
In the 21st century, tattoos are not considered indicative of gang affiliation or criminal activity. They're viewed as an art form, akin to the traditional tattooing practices of the Mambabatok in Kalinga.
There are indeed some groups or organizations, such as fraternities, that use tattoos as symbols of belonging to a particular group.
Certainly, perceptions around tattoos have evolved significantly. While there may still be remnants of stereotypes associating tattoos with criminality or gang affiliation, many people today recognize that getting a tattoo is often a form of self-expression and individuality.
Moving out before a wedding is not taboo in the Philippines, especially for men. Rather, it's economical and a win-win for both kids and parents. You can save a lot of money while helping with family expenditures. As for females, it's more about security since living alone can make them more vulnerable.
I think the Filipino girl should have at least explained the body modification and its relation to their Catholic faith
I think as a whole....they should stay away from American culture.....it's a bad influence. Given what is currently happening in the US with wokeism and gender identity I wouldn't want the "American culture" to influence other countries. Many Americans now regret it. Or are you talking about tattoos?
yes, ive experience also that coz i have my own tattoo they compared me to a yakuza. thats sad for me
when we talk about everything in my friend group from family problems, work, relationship, money and the most random stuff XD
It's very interesting hearing the Filipino taboos from those living in the Philippines vs North-American-born-Filipinos. My family is Catholic, like most Filipinos, but almost all my friends and I never learned that having tattoos or not was related to religion. My family, most of my friends' families, and church does not teach that, "we don't go to heaven if we get tattoos". They told us it is associated with gangs, crime, and trouble with prison in the Philippines. I wonder if it was false religious thing parents used to scare their children in the Philippines? I also wonder if it's just from where I live in Canada? Loved the discussion
I learned in Senior HS Year Religion (Catholic Morality) that undue tattoos and bodily modifications fall under "Mutilation," which is forbidden in the Faith. Remember we have Baptismal Vows and one of them is to use our bodies for the Glory of God, not for Vanity, for it is the Temple of the Holy Spirit. People forget their lessons and erroneously revert to Social Taboos instead of Defined Doctrine. Over 30 years later and I still remember.
Kaya saludo ako sa mga Filipino family na kayang tumanggap sa mga LGBTQ part of their family. Napakabihira ng family na accepting.
So my family is Catholic. But my parents and their families are the opposite spectrum of LGBTQ+ acceptance. My paternal side is lot of accepting, I have out and proud cousins. I remember people commenting, "dami namang bading and tomboy sa pamilya nyo". Yes, because it's not a big deal. My little cousin who was born a boy liked to wear dresses and carry purses since she was 3. And everyone in the family just let her.
But my maternal side of the family is extremely homophobic. They treat it like it's a form of mental disability. It's better for me to just pretend that I'm Asexual and choose not to be in a relationship than admit I'm gay.
❤❤❤
The thumbnail got me because of Leo. Is he the famous "Golden Retriver" personality from TH-cam short videos
Just a friendly correction: His name is Rio Mizu. It'll make it easier for you to search for his content on TH-cam. :)
tattoos are called irezumi in japanese...
Japanese men shave part of their eyebrow as part of grooming.. hoping rio could have brought that out when talking about hairs
I think one of the reasons why parents wouldnt want their daughter/son to be with a single parent is because the difficulty of raising a child. the financial, emotional and the burden of parenting overall. imagine being single then suddenly you have a child. it's just that being with a single parent is not for everyone.
definitely disagree about the gay issue, good example that experiences of some people didnt represent the majority of society. i knew many people including some of my relatives who is "gay" and most of us are religious and no issue at all. I think its kind of "stereotypes" by old people who is left behind by the fast-pace society. About for not moving out the reason is more on financial than "culture" ofc family is more strict to a "daughter".
"I have zero 😃👌" 🍃♻️✅
👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤😊😊
18:15 My interpretation;
maybe Rio was trying to say that some Japanese parents are controlling or imposing?? Unlike what his parents are that’s why his hand gesture was swaying counter-clockwise?? 😂 I might be wrong tho 😳
Homophobic has something to do with religion The Philippines is a predominant Christian and homosexual in Christianity is considered a "sin". It is unlike in East Asian countries where Buddhism is a predominant religion and homosexual is not considered a sin in Buddhist teaching. The is why China Korea and Japan have no problem with LGBTQ
Nope. It's not the same type of discrimination but there is still and maybe greater rejection of homosexuality in these East asian countries you mentioned. Though christianity is the most reliable faith right now, but then all cultures around the world have innate moral values. Immorality stems from Unnatural practices. Regardless of culture, homosexual romantic relationship should always be a taboo, as it is not natural. What societies need to do is to stop persecution against people who practice homosexuality, but it does not mean societies should also accept it as Right.
ehhh, it’s pretty far fetched to say that east asia has “no problem” with homosexuality though
Clearly you haven't seen homophobic in japan, korea and china. Because many gay people experience backlash, insult and harrasment. For example their a famous korean comedian who comes out as gay and he receive a huge number of criticism and insult their are many gay people on does countries were kick out of the house by their parents because they see it shameful and not normal
I disagree with the statement that the East Asian countries having no problem with LGBTQ. I read a BL chinese comic before and a simple peck on the lips gets censored.
@@nat.mp3 I have to agree specially S.Korea and China (Confucianism prohibits homosexual marriage) , Japanese on the other-hand is more accepting probably because they are predominantly Shinto and Buddhist
I think yung representative ng Filo needs to point out that she didn't grow up in a "Public" setting.
Ang hirap kase maka relate sa kanya at sa mga bagay na sinasabi niya as a Filipino na lumaki sa public school.
prev sinabi niya na naka school bus sya, yun palang indicative na di ako makakarelate sa lahat ng sasabihin niya.
My 2 cents lang. Kameng mga nasa public lang, we don't have much taboos. Siguro sa lahat ng sinabi niya, I could only agree on the "move out after marriage" thing kase kahit ako na nag mo move out, umuuwi pa rin sa bahay.
Dagdag na rin siguro yung di ka ganun ka open sa parents mo, but that's more to protect them kase alam ko masasaktan din sila for me -- although it might take longer, eventually naguusap din ang pamilya kase sabi nga, "Walang sinuman ang nabubuhay para sa sarili lamang"
The tats? Matagal ng walang paki ang tao dyan, and that's before popularizing Whang Od. Siguro dahil taga tundo ako, pero dito kase more like paangasan lang, like how our tribes use to wear them. For honor eme or notoriety whether good or bad.
Ewan ko. I love the episodes, pero si ate talaga... the conyo in her keeps jumping out and dun ako mas asar haha
Di ko yun masyado napansin coz siguro mas nagfofocus ako dun sa 3 kasi sa atin, alam naman na natin yun taboo satin. Pero I agree, kasi hindi niya masyado naeexplain mabuti yun mga bagay-bagay, minsan pa nga, iba pa yun sinasabi niya experience niya compare sa majority ng mga Pinoy kids growing up in a public setting. Though, alam ko nasabi naman niya na kaya siya nagsschool bus kasi malayo talaga yun school niya and di rin naman sya hinahayaan magcommute lang.
1:59 maka react si ate akala mo hindi yan normal din mostly sa pinoy families😅
She grew up in a rich catholic all girls vibe parenting/childhood, so for sure di siya relate haha
@@mariakarolhernandez9959 dba? nabigla ako sa reaction nya like its not one of the most normal things amongst filo families, of course not everyone is like that but come on, we know a lot of filo fams are like that hahaha
🇨🇳 🇯🇵🇰🇷
Pinoy families need to learn how to have difficult conversations with their kids (sexual orientation, money, relationships, etc etc)
isali nyo naman yang hapon sa usapan nyo
si Jinho medyo may pagkaVice vibe esp pag hirap magexplain si Rio. Dapat kasi ang kinuha nila talaga yun Japanese na marunong magtagalog.
kids are now more empowered? like more ENTITLED!
In fairness to the younger generation now, but there are much more super entitled senior citizens nowadays. I encountered several of them and it saddens me because they’re the ones who taught us about good manners when we’re all little, but now, they don’t practice what they preach.
So far I don’t encounter entitled teens or young adults. More sa mga matatanda talaga especially they this have “ignorant” opinions regarding people like. They don’t think before they speak if what they’ll say will offend someone or not.
@@juris1827 this is true, I don’t know if it’s their generation or not but they have a mindset that some rules are only applicable to you but not to me
Old or young were the same people and we equally have to respect each other regardless of age
Jinho’s passive-aggressive attitude towards the Japanese guy is too much. huy Jinho magbago ka na!
true. hindi na cute. parang binubully na nya si Rio.
Korean always had a thing with Japan or even with china pero mas competitive talaga sila sa Japanese😂😂 noong nakaraan din sinabihan nya yung chinese na lagi daw nangaagaw tas nagtalo pa sila then yung hapon todo awat😂😂 yung pinay naman ano lang extra lang. Madalas din nag aaway mga Southeast asian pero mas malala kapag mga east na mag away😂😂 dapat eto pag usapan nila next time😂😂 Asian Cultural Racism
Outspoken or may pagka-flamboyant kasi si Jinho or frank while si Rio (the Japanese guy) is shy or reserved, maybe language barrier pa rin sa English. But I think they are friends off cam.
Wut? 😂 U sound like a boomer who never had a real friend
I agree. It's quite uncomfortable to see. I don't think they are very close so it seems disrespectful. He doesn't do it to the girls, but knowing the language struggle of Rio sana maging patient or helpful na lang.
