Im from the Philippines and we live in florida now but we’ve lived in new york (close to city) and chicago and i guarantee you guys manila is wayyy wayy much safer than both cities.. and thats a fact 😊
I can agree with you there 😊🤝
I’m from Manila and now living in San Francisco. I may be bias but Manila and other big cities in the Philippines are much safer, moe lively and you can experience work-life balance. Hanging out with friends after the day’s work is very common in Manila, and I so miss it.
Agree New York and Chicago manila is much safer than those city you mention no racist here like there specially cops oh my I've watched many police stop so scary and dangerous specially when your black
Philippines is way safer than USA right now specially outside Manila and even in Manila.
That is so true. I miss the Philippines ❤️
We helped at their lowest, they succeeded more than we did, we are happy for them but they should know their history and they should be at least grateful. Period.
Agreed
Yeah agree without us during Korean war that helps them they could be under North Koreans Kim Jung un reign imagine defending Koreans under invasion of north Korea's and chines soldier in battle of yultong 40K North Koreans troop again 1k Filipino soldiers holding them back and retreat
I am living now in NJ as an educator and been a teacher in South Korea for 2 years surprisingly that most of the S. Koreans doesn’t even know where Philippine is. They thought I am Chinese but proudly I proclaimed that IAm A FILIPINA (this is what we call for a Filipino lady)nurturing their children with a heart! ❤
That’s beautiful❤️
Guys, don’t hesitate going to the Philippines. I am Filipino American and lives in Chicago, the crime in the Phiippines is nothing compared to Chicago where an average of 14 folks get gunned down daily. Crimes in the Philippines are mostly petty and the reason Korea surpassed the Philippines economically is because unfortunately corruption became a way of life from the highest position to the lowest position. Most Koreans are unaware of the contributions from Filipinos during the war and even during the rebuilding of S. Korea, the Philippines was the tiger of Asia back then. I feel so much safer in the Philippines than in the US, in fact ; a lot of Koreans live and grow up in the Philippines. Nature is unbelievable in the Philippines. My wife and I
will eventually retire there just like a lot of American ex-pats.
Need to buy some homes out there before the economy starts booming out there in the next 20 years
@@DANDJREACT yeah, fortunately I inherited properties from my Mom and dad there. Just have to build a home or lease a condo in the meantime. Condo buildings are being constructed all over the place, especially in Cebu City where I was born. We are going back there next year to plan for retirement. Retiring early in 2 years.
@@pinoyclan congrats!
@@DANDJREACT thanks, 50 years living here, love the US all my friends are here but its time to slow life down and chill back to the Phil. Islands. Technically I’m not a Philippine citizen anymore, dual maybe? My wife and I will be like ex-pats.
@@pinoyclan
When will you go back?
Its so sad that many koreans is clueless about how the philippines having a big role to play in the past, how philippines help them in their lowest and hardest times, hope more koreans will know the history.
Because they are super rich they view us dirty no education ugly short people some of them even spit on our flag that we can't speak English.... We help them during their struggle against communism only just some of them khows about it.... Thanks koreans
😢 sad to say I believed that part is not included in their history lesson. Then they just visit Philippines 2 or even 5 times they think they know Philippines and Pilipinos very well.
I am surprised that people from Korea doesn’t have enough knowledge about the Philippines where in fact a lot of Korean youngsters go to the Philippines to study, and according to them they enjoy more the quality of life in the Philippines than in their own country that they opt to find their way to settle in our beloved mother land🇵🇭❤
Yah I am a Filipina, during my college days I met a lot of Koreans classmates and a Korean teacher in the university here in Mindanao.
I've been in Manila and the slums of Manila - I was there 3 months - lord, not a single bad incident. I experienced more love and welcomed.
Just be careful, they will always ask you to drink San Miguel beer and their local GIN AND RUMS 😂
I never been threatened or someone snatch my camera or pickpocket.
Stereotyping is a bad perception !
Agreed 💯 🤝
If you want to get robbed just come to USA. Our government and the people in cities will help you with that 😂
HahahahHaha😂😂😂😂
@@DANDJREACT 😂🤣😂🤣
Most of these interviewees dont have the chance to visit the country anyways...so yes, it's fine to listen to their pre-conceived info about the Philippines...but it's not a good reference or source of info about the country.
Watch more videos of those who really travelled, live and experience the country...learn the best, good and bad sides of the country based on their experiences.
There are heaps of foreign vloggers who live now in the country; are using the Philippines as their base and even have already ties in there.
I like watching your reactions about the Philippines, excited for your next videos about the country.
We are having a great time learning about your beautiful country and it’s amazing people. Can’t wait to come see.
Speaking of Philippines helping Korea on Korean War, please watch "March Of The Valiant" where Filipino war veterans tell the story of how they fought for the liberation of Korea. It's the reason why Korea and Philippines has one of the strongest bilateral relation in Asia.
Up
Great idea! Thanks!
@@DANDJREACT it's been a week now since my comment on why Korea investing so much in the Philippines? And my comment are it's because of the bilateral commitment of the two Countries Philippines is a big part why Korea is a country right now, it is because Philippines is part of the War of Korea not just like that Philippines is help to build Korea, when it's comes in need.
yes please.
@@DANDJREACTWe have Guns also here in the Philippines specially in mindanao it's a common thing here, if it's legalized or any of Authority carried gun everywhere and do I carry always in my business or trip, cause I say it before my grandfather is a veteran in a Korean war and I also a reserved on the military.
Watching from Canada. Lots of Filipinos are versatile. Every Country has good, bad ugly. Koreans young generation must learn that there also lots of red places in Korea.
Agreed
I lived in Japan for 6 years, it is very westernized, so you will be able to navigate just fine. Beautiful country full of traditions, values, and respect very humble kind people.
Thanks for the tips!
Sounds like my kind of people
Japanese are nicer than Koreans. But this is based on my experience.
@@mariatolentino4516 👍👍
Pick pocketers are all over the world. Paris, Switzerland, Italy, etc.,
There’s a lot of gun owners in the Philippines. But there’s no such things as school kids, innocent people being killed almost every other week.
I think anywhere you go just be alert and be aware.
Many Koreans still look down on Filipinos as it being a Developing Country. Sad that this is the case, as the Philippines had assisted South Korea in the Korean War, with many Filipinos giving their lives for South Korea's freedom and democracy.
People forget so easily
@@DANDJREACT Yes. And that's unfortunate.
@@Spy-hp8ki agreed. They always say history repeats itself and that’s why. People forget what happened and just do the same thing over and over again
I grew up in Philippines and i didn't even know Filipino soldiers helped S. Korea in war. Just in the same way many do not know there were African soldiers during WW2 in several EU countries as part of the King's Rifle. I only learned this recently.
And korea should be thankfull since when 50 thousand chinese soldiers invaded a part of korea only 7,000 filipino soldiers fought against them successfully to ward them off. It's actually in their anals of history.
back in 2013 I had sa chance to tutored a Korean guy for english and tagalog. He said he has a zero knowledge in English more so in tagalog. During his middle school all the way to college English subject was just an optional for them and he regretted that he did not take the chance to take the subject. He was an engineer in Hyundai company. He was very grateful that I taught him understand the english subject and slowly speak the language. He started speaking in broken english but now can speak tagalog fluently as well as english. I asked him when is he going back to work, he said, probably when he's hungry (figuratively speaking), LOL! Here in the Philippines we welcome everybody that visits our country and we even love them if they chose to stay be one of us here. As a nation we also have our flaws we also have our fair share of down sides, just like any other nation.. but just enjoy the warm embrace of my people, our culture and the beautiful places we can offer.. povery is everywhere even in the most progressive nations, but don't worry much as we can handle those hardships, we can still smile and we can find joy enjoy whatever we have on our tables.
Thanks for sharing this with us. We’re so excited to move there in November.
..Filipinos in general are into Kdramas because their dramas are concise with unique storylines (most have 16 episodes only) unlike Philippine dramas which mostly influenced by Mexican Telenovelas which were also very popular before (it will reach 100+ episodes and storylines are cliché)..KPop was also widely patronized because of their high quality MVs and music production plus the intense dancing and Idol visuals..we also see their culture to be very rich and beautiful..❤
..S.Koreans stereotypes regarding the Philippines are inevitable because I have also watched many Kdramas and Kmovies that portrays the Philippines in a bad light..which is saddening but hearing the interviews, i think it's already changing and i'm glad that people are becoming more aware of how beautiful our country is..lots of S.Koreans also loves travelling to the Philippines because most Filipinos understand English thus easy communication and because of our neutral accent, we can be easily understood by many foreigners from different countries..we're also very accommodating thus many are coming back because of the people they've met..❤
That’s good to hear ❤️
@@DANDJREACT ..since you're moving to the Philippines, all i can is i'm sure you will enjoy your stay..in most cases, same with the rest of the world, there will always be the and the bad..Philippines included..it's not perfect and you might also meet toxic and mean Filipinos along the way..but i'm sure that in general, there will be more good and warmth that will come your way once you start living in our country..the reason is because even if i only see you guys in your videos, i can feel the positive aura and vibes in you..and good energy attracts good people..plus, you both are open minded in a lot of stuff, so i'm sure you will enjoy your stay..
@@allaboutgee1841 can’t wait to visit
@@allaboutgee1841😊😊😊😊
From the stories I’ve heard, Koreans who come here are very rude to Filipinos. How sad that foreigners mistreat Filipinos in their own country! What is even sadder is that a lot of Filipinos are crazy for Korean pop culture.
You have to watch Go with Ali vlog or trifate vlog (2 american young guys in their 20"s) they interact with the locals in their blog, Ali go to Slum area in Manila where he talk to people there.
Oh ok cool. I’ll check it out
Did you know trifate a 2 american young guys did not know philippines at all , it started with reacting to SB19 just like you guys did. Now they are traveling all over philippines places . They watched SB19 concert and wish bus performance.
By the way SOL&LUNA too a twin sister from dominican republic they stay here for almost a year now they came here because of sb19 and they do blog.
I am also following trifate vlog and all I can say is that they give their honest opinion about the Philippines in their videos. They give negative and positive comments to their experiences.
@@ginaperadilla9535 yeah we started following them as well
I'm from Manila and it's pretty safe nowadays but don't let your guard down
For sure
June 25,1950 Korean War almost 7,500 Filipino soldier was sent to South Korea to help & to fight and many Filipinos soldiers was lost their lives just to korea will have a freedom .even America advice to Filipinos to retreat but Filipino soldiers refused d order & they are willing to help South Korea ,,,salute to all Filipino soldier’s ❤❤❤❤
That’s amazing
I think they never know that Filipinos fight for them but US cause we're under US regime that time and that's sad to know.
Wow South Korea be grateful to us and other countries, know your history.
Please watch the Filipino Army in Korean war/battle of Yultong ❤❤❤
Yes please
Up
UP
Please watch how Philippines govt. save 1200 Jews during Hitler time.
Yea! Please watch it ❤
And compare to other cities here in the US, manila is very alive 24/7. If you get hungry in the middle of the night, you can still go to different places to eat that's not fast food
That’s good to know
This is the whole truth: the Philippines does have a crime, drug, and sex trafficking problem. However, in recent years, crime and drugs have gone down while sex trade was regulated for the first time. Sadly the current govt has rolled back the budget of some of these policies, but it's still present for now.
For the claim that Filipinos look up to Koreans, this is only true for Filipino women who consume Kbeauty, Kpop, and Kfood products. Filipino men don't necessarily do unless they were Kpop fans already. Men generally look up to the US and Japan more.
The claim that Korea was westernized earlier than the Philippines is wrong, Spain conquered the islands in the 1500s, and if we're talking about the US as the western influence then Spain sold the Philippines to the US in 1898 or so.
It's more accurate to say that Koreans look down upon Filipinos more than Filipinos look up to Koreans, since OFWs (Overseas filipino workers) in Korea usually do menial manpower jobs. The ones that take these jobs are usually the poor Filipinos who spend a lot of time under the sun working, which leads to the skin color discrimination to the point of the word Filipino being used as a slur to bully dark skinned Koreans in their schools. Korean and Filipino culture are also very different when it comes to puncuality.
Bro said it that most countries have some kind of red light district or city. Amsterdam, Yoshiwara in Japan, Pattaya in Thailand, Bali in Indonesia, and Clark in the Philippines.
Thanks for this detailed info
@@DANDJREACT No problem, your channel has been very entertaining. Thank you.
@@OxygenC2 thanks!
Indeed.. Very well said @oxygenC2❤❤❤
No matter what other nations think of us, we welcome it by never goes to the point to belittle us so down, becuase Filipinos are calm, but our mind already started to boil a strategic plan to attacked them in any way we can specially we are at strong contenders to any social medias platform. Our solidarity is such a strong force when we defend our own. So a little negativity is just their prerogative but then again our welcoming atmosphere is second to none.
i believe Filipinos all over the world contributed to the rise of kpop.
Agreed
Indeed ...for a newly formed group Philippines is actually their first destination.. just. Like BTS as far as I know
@@proudajero1709 that’s awesome
I'm always looking forward to seeing your Filipino contents...Hope you'll have a wonderful experience in the Philippines soon.... I'm not into k culture because of negative stereotypes I'm hearing from the locals. Aside from the Philippines, Japan is a wonderful country to visit and I really appreciate the kind and respectful people there - though there's a language barrier if you don't speak the local language. 🙂
Whenever I go to Japan I get out of Tokyo and stay where there is no English support. That's how I learned Japanese.
They do not know that the Filipinos defended their country from Chinese and north Koreans when south Korea became established they became arrogant they do not know what gratitude is. Many Filipinos risk their life to fend their enemies.
There is a bit of untruth about Philippines not being Westernized much later, I dont think so.Americans came here during the Japanese war and somehow influenced us a lot, that could also be the reason why we speak a lot of the Universal language wc is English plus the fact that even before Korean culture was introduced to the Phils., we were already into Hollywood stuff like movies ang songs.
I also think it was Sandara Park, a former Korean actress here who went back to Korea that introduced Korean culture to us.She is an unofficial "Philippine ambassador" as she promotes the Philippines to Korea and vice versa. She comes here often coz she says she loves the Philippines as she once lived here and became an actress b4 becoming famous in Korea as a Kpop singer fr 2NE1.
👍😊👍😊
you know what....its remind me of trifate vlog at 1st their are kpop reactor until there discover sb19 then their courios bout the philippines...then now their are living in the philippines almost 2yrs😊🤭
Sounds like us 😊
The Philippines is just like a family to foreigners. crimes are everywhere not Just the Phils. sex tourism and a lot more, BUT a lot have been coming back to The Philippines for a vacation and others stay FOR GOOD
I am seeing that. Makes me want to move now.
@@DANDJREACT Facts, it's Cringe to Say that the Philippines is the place to be, but Philippines is Facing the hard times to protect against china bilateral conflict in the Philippines waters, in the spratly island.
In my experience Paris has more professional pick pockets than in the Philippines 😉
Wow 😯
True 100% it's scary
Yes, it’s true
Same in Milan or Rome Italy, they operate in the subways, they are not locals but from East Europe…. 😪
React to 439 days that lead us to live in the Phillipines by LIVE the Phillipines, its a 4 hour video, but worth to watch.
Okay I’m down
Its more fun in the Philippines experience it so youll know better visit the Philippines.
👍😊👍😊
I hope that some Korean knows about the past how Filipino soldiers Koreans war, they forget the Philippines help there country.
the Greatest Korean I know, is the greatest admiral ever lived, Admiral Yi Sun Shin.
Interesting
I grew up in Tondo, Manila (in slums to be specific)Kids still playing outside happily. People there are kind if you are kind to them to.But still dont let your guard down.There are security guard on every establishment to avoid theft. The reason why korea thought that the Philippines are a bad country is that in their news they only show the negative side of the Philippines
That’s why I hate the news. They turn everyone against eachother
What I really hope for Philippines is for the institutions (not the person) that govern the land to become stronger and established so that no matter who is voted in power, it does not keep changing the "laws" and this will also lessen corruption.
Agreed. That would be nice
A previous top Philippines statesman recommended the change in government structure during his term but he was not supported by the Legislative and Judicial Branches. He was proposing to have Federal type of government, where whatever each city earns the majority of it will be used in its own improvement, a few percentages goes to national security and other national matters. I think he wanted to have prime ministers in the system as well. But this type of government will really highlight cities/provinces with very corrupt politicians...
@CathySabb536 hahaha sometimes mindanao or visayan humor or words shouldn't be taken at face value. He throws the idea there but he knows it will take a lot of work. The President doesn't have the final say, our government works with three separate arms, Executive (President), Legislative (Congress) and Judicial (Law). He knows for this to happen all three must give unanimous decision. Sometimes his words are out of frustration, maybe sometimes a threat, but always for the greater majority of Filipinos. That's why its real hard to become the President, you become the bad guy, and sometimes make harder decisions. Not easy, not something we car learn in schools either.
It's more peaceful to live in the Philippines than any other countries
I'm not a Filipino but I have been there and it's pretty safe. In fact, the people there are very very friendly and hospitable. Everyone greets you and people aren't afraid to help each other regardless if they're strangers or not. I wish I could say the same for Korea. I visited Korea and as much as I liked the country, I didn't have good experience with the people. It was safe there too but I unfortunately experienced a lot of discrimination there. I didn't end up staying the two weeks and spent the second week in Japan instead and I felt a bit relieved. This is just my experience though. Not everyone's experience will be the same.
I feel like it’s safe as well
New subscriber here! I am from Vegas as well. I grew up in the Philippines and am now living in Vegas. I visited the Philippines last year after 18 years of now being home. You will have fun!
Thanks for subbing!
We appreciate your support 😊👍😊👍
Oh nice! How are you liking Vegas?
@DANDJREACT I left home almost 19 years ago. I finished my doctorate in NY and worked in MI, then moved here 17 years ago. Dry heat vs. snow... I'll take the dry heat. You will have fun in the Philippines. Everybody speaks english, and the BGC area is almost like being in the US.
@@annelevy8277 we’re so excited 😆
Can’t wait to get there.
@DANDJREACT Filipinos will welcome you with open arms for sure! Let me know if you have questions or if you need information.
I've lived in Manila since I was a kid, me and my brothers have never been victims of pickpocket, snatching, etc. Not by luck, my dad's a soldier who always, always reminds us to be aware of our surroundings. Never been pickpocketed since he reminds us to put our bags infront esp. in crowded spaces, taught us how to spot snatchers in public transportations esp. Jeepneys (& to trust our gut & get off at a crowded area.) Never had my cp snatched since he taught us that if we're outside we need to be aware & textinf can be done once we've reached the destination (& in case we do get snatched, not be stupid & fight since life is more important than stuff you can buy). If we're travelling at night, avoid dark areas with no crowd, if we take a cab get the info & text it to anyone, etc. Same in any countries, there are good & bad people just need to be aware, be in the moment & y'know not be engrossed in your phones that you missed what's happening around you
Gotta be safe out there
@@DANDJREACT Hi, yeah my dad is big on safety & being streetwise. That said, Filipinos are known for their "bayanihan" aka helping each other out. I've seen people who immediately goes & help others, they would even chase a thief or a car if they've seen a hit&run. There was a time I didn't have enough money for a fare & when strangers found out they pitch in to help. When we moved & our new neighbours found out we don't have any stuff since all was destroyed by fire at our old home they gave us chairs, tables, etc. So yeah while there are cases of petty crimes etc., there are far more people ready to help out, they are not indifferent esp. one's neigbours. There was even a joke that the reason why Philippines rarely have any serial killers is bec. they won't escape being noticed by the neighbors 🤣 TY for the content & appreciating diff. cultures (not just us) & your commentaries are very sensible & you take in pov from both sides.
Great reaction video, keep it up. I also watched this video thinking why korea portrays philippines these certain ways in their movies which influences these negative stereotypes about the Philippines making the country to be just a dangerous place to go.
The world is not as scary as most other countries make them out to be
Btw, use Grab for taxi or car instead of the regular ones.The latter would usually charge you more as it is rampant especially in malls.
Ok perfect thanks 😊
how about hidden cameras everywhere in South Korea? that's the worst, it's the psychotic and creepiest thing to do. It is so ironic to say that if you leave your stuff everywhere no one will steal it and those creepy people putting up hidden cameras everywhere are stealing your privacy and selling you online gives me chills. ( I watch it on TH-cam too about South Korea's spy camera epidemic).)
Ew that’s so gross people do that.
They make hole in women's comfort room that's creepy.
This is so bad… Korean and so called educated country are actually the most racist country… yet there 17;000 Korean lives in the Philippines sorry Korean you think so called entitled is as bad as Singapore and china
Of course, Manila will always be mentioned in the news as it is the country's capital and the center of most activities. I lived in Manila for the past 30 years of my life and I could say there are areas in the city that I'm afraid to roam around. Manila is a big city and I think there are only two districts that are "shady".
with fast-paced living, Manila is definitely fast-paced compared to Cebu City which is more laid-back and people tend to move slower. I remember when I was assigned to work in Cebu, I got a culture shock when I rode the jeepney (the public mass transport). In Manila, once you ride a jeepney, you immediately hand in your fare to the driver. In Cebu, people will pay their fare when they reach their destination.
It's sad that many Koreans look down on Filipinos but they never realized that once Philippines was a tiger of Asia n w/o the help of Filipino soldiers who did'nt give up during their Korean war South Korea may not exist this time, they might be living life like North Korea🤔🤨...They should teach that in their HISTORY that even at the end of the war many still remain to help build their country😠....also crimes ,prostitution ,poverty is around the world not only in the Philippines ...i think those who had been interviewed hasn't been to Philippines yet...🤪coz most Koreans who been in the Philippines love the country n settled happily...🇵🇭🇬🇧
BGC is safe to live . Many security guards 24/7.
As a Filipino living here in Canada for 37 years and counting I'm just surprise when I visit the Philippines so many expats living in the country Koreans, Americans, Canadians Europeans etc. you name it. What the foreign mainstream media says it's dangerous to live in the Philippines ! This year according. to statistic the tourists that visited the Philippines broke the record of previous years. My question is how come there are so many tourists coming in if the place is dangerous? Even here in Canada there are some places that are not safe to visit just like any other country on earth so my beloved Vloggers don't hesitate visiting a country like the Philippines just so it is being stereotyped as a dangerous place.Can't wait for your next vlog.Keep safe and God bless your families..
Yea the media always does this.
The thing is go and visit for you to experience and don't just deliberately conclude what you hear coz it could be sensationalized out of proportions or context and also in every nation there is both good and bad apples but I can say that generally filipinos are friendly , welcoming and generous.
You are 100% right
I totally agree with you about illegal immigrants. I'm from the Philippines but came to the US legally and now a US Citizen. These illegal immigrants are treated well and so entitled. US gov't should prioritize our own citizens (such as soldier, homeless, etc.).
Agree 100% 👍
Well said! Legal immigrant to the USA from the Philippines in 1991, now a citizen and I feel the same way.
Philippines is a middle power now. we're not third world anymore. our economy is ~ 35th largest in the world of 195+ countries. Australia considers Philippines and Australia as MIDDLE power countries.
Thank you 😊
It's hard to get real feedback from people who's have not even gone to the place. You should check Manila or Metro Manila as it consist of 16 cities. Foreigners, including that of Filipino origin, who did not even stop by Manila form their on opinion based on 30-40 years ago. Check out You Tubers who really went around Manila including those places considered to be shady and see for yourself. Checkout blogs on Makati and BGC as so many TH-camrs vlog on these places. Mergim is one You Tuber who decided to move to BGC. Check out American and British families who decided to move there. This is a pretty annoying interview as the people forming opinion that are so biased.
Will do thanks 😊
Those Korean go to the Philippines to learn to understand the English language and how to speak English too.😂
Foreigners lived in the Philippines, and they are still alive.
Lmao 🤣
You can check the history about how Philippines helped SoKor during war. 😊 March of the Valiant: Philippine Expeditionary Force to Korea. Enjoy watching! Then watch how SoKor actress mocked our accent the audacity.
👍👍
Bpo's or call centers are very in demand in the Philippines, because English is our second language, so u guys will not gonna have a problem,
about language barrier, the thing u need to prepare is the heavy traffic, our country is very famous about that😂😂😂
I hate traffic 😫
Heavy traffic and a hot weather 😅
D&J you guys are good people, well i intentioned and you have been positive about my country the Philippines. Please do not take my previous two comments and suggestions personally as they were not for you. It was meant for the young Koreans whose shallow response about my country showed they do not know or research about the Philippines and our historical background. The Philippines helped SKorea during the war. These young people only see the beach and nature and I urge them to know more before stepping into Philippine soul. But you guys are trying to know more about the country, the people and the culture and history. I appreciate you both and of course with that, welcome to the Philippines. If I were there when you visit, I would host you. I have a house by the sea. But I am here in the US right 😢now… doing children’s ministry. I like what you do and your intentions. You will enjoy my country and with your attitude, you will do well in the Philippines.
No offense taken. Thanks you for having your peoples back and loving your country. We will do the same 🙏🇵🇭😊❤️
False Manila is so much Safer than most of the cities in America. Just been there and what you hear is not what is happening. Manila is not a small city and Metro Manila is composed of 16 Cities combined which is hard to say which area is Safe and which area is not, but overall Metro Manila is Safe. Manila is so much Safer than New York, Chicago, LA or San Francisco and even Toronto. Check some of the TH-camrs who had gone or been to Manila and they would say even the most Dangerous place they mention which is Tondo the famous district they call most dangerous is safer than Philadelphia or Chicago. Movies does not justify if a city is dangerous or not.
Omg America is so dangerous compared to any Asia country. Thats a fact
Since you’ve decided to visit the Philippines 🇵🇭 I suggest that you plan your itinerary well to maximize your experience. Maybe you would like to include a “meet up” day with your subscribers.
That’s part of our plan.
We speak English because Philippines have a lot of dialects and also it’s because of the influence of the US
I heard
Wherever you are in the world, you indeed always need to be careful but yes, come to the Philippines and make a judgment for yourself. Come with caution but let it not stop you from really enjoying the beauty of the Philippines! See you soooooon! Hahhahahaa! And ASK, i think you have enough followers here that are Filipinos who can give you great advise. :D
Yes we have so many wonderful followers there. Everyone has been so nice and generous. We can’t wait to get there and meet everyone.
Really excited for you!@@DANDJREACT
In terms of wages 120 or 200 is true way back then. But right now provincial rate is 480, manila rate is much higher, even construction worker wages 600 or above, doing laundry in the province pays you 400 to 500.
Thanks for the update
They're probably talking in dollars rate.
Guys🙂 nothing to worry about the language barrier..I think you can easily adapt and communicate well if your planning to visit or live in the Philippines because we have same alphabets in English.. and the people in our country speaks English eventhough some are fluent or not but still can communicate in English language.🙂🙂
That’s great to know 😊
Yes I’m Filipino A’tin here in Dubai. Before it’s really safe, now I can’t say. So many foreign workers now.
That’s awesome
D&J, i live here in New England and I hear you loud and clear about the problems of the US which is more than the problems of the Philippines! I can say, Manila or the whole Philippines still safer compared to the US. Only problem there is a lot of people are still below poverty due to the old system…corruption!! But, now, life there start to change to some because of peple working to other countries as OFW and send them to their families. However, others are still “very poor” because they can’t afford to send their children to school or to work as OFW. Crimes are in every country in the world. That’s a part of development in society! But don’t be afraid D&J to visit the Philippines! You’ll be amazed what you’ll see and experience if you ever have chance to visit. Filipinos will surely love to meet you both!! Just be vigilant and keep safe when you go! Plan now and see you there!!🤗🇵🇭🇺🇸
Thanks for the info. We are still going no matter what. We are very excited to meet everyone! Especially our subscribers 😊❤️

I think one of the reasons why Filipinos don't really penetrate through other countries' culture despite having a large number present in other countries, is our innate trait of assimilating other countries'cultures. We prefer to cater to people especially when they're not in our country or home.
Proud being pilipina from Bohol
🤣
You know every country has that "pros and Cons", so better go to a place where you're comfortable with, and besides opinions from these interviews are only assumptions/speculations of the Philippines...😢
Yea true
It‘s saddening nowadays that people are not keen on reviewing their history books. We Filipinos knew that we were colonized thrice - Spain, the US, and Japan. We knew how deep the diplomatic bond between Israel and South Korea was through our shared history - to fight for our sovereignty and protect our democracy. Also, our country is relatively a safe country. There is a balance between urban and rural livelihood and culture. Filipinos know how to be grateful and be contented. One thing is for sure, we need to stop having negative thoughts towards other races.
I think the whole world needs to stop judging other races
The Koreans are more stressed out, have more suicides and the capital of plastic surgery. This is due to the the success driven and competitive nature of their Society which in turn was the driving force of how fast Korea has advanced in the world. Little children go to school til 10 pm at night so they can all have a chance to work at Samsung someday. The country is run by Chaebols and Kpop. I wish the Asian Boss interview was a little more balanced. Instead of why it is slower in the Philippines, well maybe it’s not the Philippines, they’re just always in a hurry. A symptom of heavily westernized society. Please react to “Hello Philippines”. About a Young Korean family with 2 preteens who left Korea for Philippines for a more relaxed life style and closer knit communities. If you two went to the Philippines and travel vlogged your experiences, you will be a hit.

All i can say is during the Philippines help the Koreans during the Korean War.
Yes they did.
Im From Philippines even we, Pinoys , we are scared of going , abroad, anywhere in the universe is scary.. in tbe Philippines all you have to do is be aware, be alert, secured your things , polite and respectful to people , be humble ,
And be wise, and have long patience and expect the unacceptable and smile, and you'll get the warmth of the people .
Just secured your important things all the time. 😅 Specially when you go to places where there are traffic and many people.
Thanks for the tips 😊
Actually manila as a whole has composed of 10+ cities (correct me if I’m wrong) with about 10 million people+ but crimeis lessser than in a small cities here in the US. I am scared to walk in any downtown cities here in California and other states coz i might be stabbed to death or be shot…Philippines is safe in general and people will always help u and care for u specifically a foreigner…
I feel the same way here in the USA
The guy they interviewed at 4:58 seems to have a limited mindset about the Philippines and being westernized. If anything, they were the first Asian country to be Westernized due to the US influence in history with President Taft and President Roosevelt. English was/is one of the main languages. Koreans are traditionally a homogenous society, like the Japanese. Filipinos were open to having relationships and building families with non-Filipinos as far back as the late 1800’s. In my opinion, I believe Korea is just getting started as far as being Westernized.
👍👍
Most of the family in korea with a pilipina wife their not afraid of having child unlike them who afraid of getting married and having a child
Makes sense
CCTV is a must in Korea. CCTV is everywhere like in every corner so lesser crime. They don’t have that In Philippines.
I’d rather live in the Philippines
You are wrong. We have CCTV's here though not every corners but we have ... If you will compare crime rate it's lesser here and we are not into bullying and they do have that there in SK . FYI. Too pity for some Koreans who doesn't even know their history. I love Kdrama myself and I always watch it...but I do not agree to what they are saying especially those who does not even set foot on the land.
@@Evestar143 what’s that war documentary about this
I really appreciate it so much that you make reaction videos about our country. I hope you can also make a reaction video on HOLLYWOOD CELEBRETIES LOVE THE PHILIPPINES. thank you.
We’ll add it to our list. Thanks 😊
We will check it out 🙏😊
❤😊
@@user-rg6mg6mp9v 😊❤️
Would love if you can also make a video of our FILIPINO’s Who’s who on their respective career.
Every country have thier own good and bad side's and stories to tell even korea have a sex workers too anyways even the most developed countries have this issues not only n country they called developing countries. Please visit the Philippines its more fun in the Philippines .......the diversity of culture is one of the reason why you need to visit this country the food are wow....
We plan on it 😊
@DANDJREACT oh wow that's 😎 hoping you will have an enjoyable visit and vacation to our country...wishing your channel will have more subscribers ..
@@user-el3sc5qy7d thanks 😊
tagalog lang ang alam kong salitain kapag nasa Pinas ako pero kapag nasa ibang bansa ako atsaka lang ako nag sasalita nang english kasi hindi ako tanga at mayabang kapag nasa pinas ako kasi mahal ko ang bansa at ang pambansang salita ko ay tagalog galing sa Pilipinas naintindihan
That’s amazing
I feel bad and its so sad to hear there comments about Filipinos on this reaction.Yes,we have freewill to state our opinion on things but don't make too much assumption/speculation without basis ,instead research first before speaking and giving broad opinion or better visit the place first.
So, Im living in Manila and studied college on one of the school in U-belt area. Working in Makati now as an Engineer. U-belt area is the area here in Manila where many colleges schools are located and very close to each other.
Manila is very safe to go and other nearby cities , specially now adays so I disagree to there opinions. Koreans are just racist and descrimanation does exist (some but not all). They looking down on us because many Filipinos doing menial job and because of repeated economic failure in the Asian region in recent history. In there mind misfortune only makes sense if people are inherently Idle. But Filipino people are not Idle tho we have an Idle government if that fits the shoe. Descrimination is very economy oriented.It is your nationality that matters.If you are from 3rd world country you are poor, if you are from first world country you are rich. Doesnt matter if your a Filipino billionare or homeless American. Nationality functions as the sole indicator of your status.
I don't know that Philippines is sex tourism. What a narrow minded. I disagree with that. Yes there are so many bars in certain places here but Prostitution is illegal in the Philippines. But I agree there are still bars that are descent and indecent.Its up to a foreigner if what place they choose to go. With regards to red light district,doesnt Korea has also red light district. Other countries offer way more, so before giving opinion try to research first and try to be open minded.
There are so many Koreans learning to learn English here where in fact we Don't have ethereal American accent (some not all) . Living here places in Manila, Davao, Cebu,Clark specially Baguio due to its Reputation as the education capital and cool climate due to high elevation. One of the most safest city where are crimes are almost non existence only crimes with trash and littering.
For Dan, how old is the video that you've watch, stating those salary coz for me those are not real if those video had been film currently.Yes, were working hard but its Not true that Filipinos can't travel or don't have money for travel (some not all). If you reaserch also more you would know that Filipinos love to travel. You may research first also or ask second opinion on things so you can give more accurate and better insights on your channel.
My comments is quit long, been watching some of your reaction on some video but my first time commenting as there's seems not right.
Nonetheless, Goodluck to your channel and peace.!
I just said someone from there in my comment section said it wasn’t safe. I myself never said that. Thanks for the insight and clarification though 🙏😊
@kennethmedallin7221 I totally agree with you. It so just so sad to hear ignorant commentary from someone who did not make a thorough research nor visited the Philippines before making such comments.
Even here in Queensland highest crime in Townsville Queensland.
So sad
Watch the korean vloggers who live in the Philippines for a long time like jessica lee , ryan bang ,juwonee, jinho bae they are full korean but there content is all about pH.. t all around the world there are bad side and good side, good people bad people..but the korean people is known for being racist not just for the Filipino but for others too. They have beauty standards..but anyway hope to meet you someday in the Philippines i live in visayas near cebu beautiful place and very safe 100% guaranted😊
We just reacted to 4-5 Jessica Lee videos. Two of them you can watch now on our Asia travel playlist. Hope we meet out there. We will have a big get together when we get out there. Nothing is finalized yet but we are trying to create a charity to help Filipinos in need of clean drinking water, food, clothes exc… in some of our new and upcoming videos we are going to ask the Filipino people what are some of the biggest problems they face and what charity we should start. We saw a video of how hard some of them have it and it broke my heart. I want to help and get the world to help as well. God bless you🙏❤️😊
@@DANDJREACT I can join your charity someday when I get back home ..coming home this year maybe June or July . Manifesting 🤞..I can suggest my place too ..just books for the children of school where my kids studying right now .
@@Chinitaprincess310 thanks for the suggestions
manila is not so dangerous but don't let your guard down. bec there are pickpockets especially in crowded places but isn't that common almost everywhere? Venice and Barcelona are 2 places that I know that are notorious for pickpockets
Thanks for the advice 😊👍😊👍
and Paris too.. even Rome.. a lot actually!
Minimum wage in the Phils right now is 268 US dollars per month
Thanks 😊
It's just sad that (some) Koreans think the Philippines is just a country for vacation, honeymoons, climate change, unsafe streets, etc. they forget or maybe it was not (?) introduced to them that because of the Philippines they wouldn't be able to get back on their feet during the Korean War. I just want them to be thankful, acknowledge, and aware that the Philippines is one of the first to help them even though at that time we are still recovering from WW2. And also I hope people from all over the world stop discriminating filipino foreign workers, because without us countries would be suffering from labor shortages. And yes we need more money that's why many filipinos prefer to work abroad and its because we need to provide for our family. The government in the Philippines is very corrupt, promises of government that they would provide for their people is 🤬, taxes and inflatiom is so much, and that's why we don't have any choice but to be a laborer for other countries and so I just pray that we can be treated fairly.
I heard all these things and it makes me deeply sad. I pray for the Philippines and its people that things will get better in the future 🙏❤️❤️❤️
Many of the Koreans who were interviewed appear to have limited knowledge about what is happening in the Philippines. Their information comes mainly from outside sources such as the media and hearsay. It may be better to visit the Philippines personally and form your own opinion rather than relying solely on the opinions of others. The interviewers should have also considered interviewing Koreans who have actually visited the Philippines as their experiences may differ from those who have not. Most of the interviewees seem to be unaware of the history between the Philippines and Korea, where the Philippines played a crucial role in helping South Korea expel North Koreans and Chinese forces during the 1950s. It is unfortunate that many young Koreans and Filipinos today are not fully aware of the evolution of their society and the history of their place. The importance of culture and ancestors is often overlooked, leading to a self-centered mindset among the younger generation. As a responsible individual, it is essential to study and understand one's roots and origins. Anyways, most places in Korea are expensive, similar to Japan.
Very true
I heard a cat meowing😂😂😂
Lmao. Yea that my chunky cat
It's unfortunate that many Koreans know very little about the Philippines. They may be right about the other things they say about pickpocketing but maybe in the last few decades it was happening badly. Koreans who are closed-minded are locked in their archaic ideas. They do not know the size of the population of Koreans in the Philippines who study English and the other families who live here. They should try to go to major cities in the Philippines like Makati and BGC and see if they can experience pickpocketing. The Philippines is safer compared to major cities in western countries.Try walking with your cell phone in public in Brazil or the Dominican Republic, and it will be out of your hand in seconds. Go to Boracay Island in the Philippines, you will see Koreans there and you will mistake them as the owner of the island because of the number of them there. They are also the tourist guide for their fellow Koreans. Korea's economy is booming and the Philippines is one of their inspirations. During the 50's, the Philippines was the second richest country in Asia after Japan. I will believe if the Koreans say that there are many corrupt politicians in the Philippines and I will not disagree if that is what they say. However, when it comes to being polite and helpful, Filipinos rank first. I'm not saying this because I'm Filipino, but because it's the truth, and it's part of Filipino culture to offer everything to others, particularly those in need. How has the Philippines not been safe for international travelers? Many foreign vloggers base themselves in the Philippines because they know Filipinos are more welcoming than other ethnicities, particularly in Asia.
👍😊👍😊
Even the US State Department issued warning about kidnapping and other crimes that such precautionary measures were issued more than a decade ago. Our government forgot to delete or update their warnings. The last thing that worries me were events that happened before the Marawi siege in Mindanao. If you watch foreign vloggers going to the crime-ridden slum areas just to prove that the notoriety of a place is no longer a threat especially to foreigners. I live in Stockton California which was the #8 in the country's most crime-ridden city for more than a decade in peace.
The illegal Chinese visitors pretending to be student or businessmen were the ones kidnapping their own people but mostly caught by the cops.
I'm planning to retire there permanently once I sold most of my assets.
The USA always lies with the media
there are a lot of recorded incidents in Korea where Koreans are being racist towards Filipino because of their Skin color.
Even a filipino that is part of the cast of Squid Game experienced it first hand.
*Koreans even use the word “Filipino” as a slur to someone who is tan or has darker skin complexion*
That’s so wrong I’m sorry 😢
Pls react to the battle of yultong where 1000 filipino soldiers fought with 40,000 chinese soldiers. Thanks ❤

It’s better to check out foreign vloggers who are already in the Philippines to know the real state of the country. There’s a lot of them 😊.
We are watching some tonight 😊
What I know is that of all the foreigners in the Philippines, Koreans have the most huge count compared to other foreigners that is living there
Huge count?
@@DANDJREACT yeah u can see them everywhere in the Philipines
@@gf_027 oh I see
@@DANDJREACTmore koreans live in Cebu City..
@@DANDJREACT Also those Koreans who grew up in the PH seemed to love the country more than their own. They feel more at home in the PH and mostpreferred living there than in SK.
Just like anywhere else, there is prostitution however it is not that prevalent for the PHILIPPINES to be known for sex tourism. It is still not legal here unlike in other countries.
Yes prostitution is big everywhere. Onlyfans normalized it lmao
Every country has ups and down even those countries that are giants in economy😅
Very true
Honestly, Indonesians and Indians knew filipino singers, and telenovelas
👍
most korean kids don't know how much the filipinos helped during the korean wars. maybe it would be better for them to research their history regarding the Filipinos helping them. Koreans who don't know how the Filipinos helped you during the Korean war, it would be good for you to watch the "BATTLE OF YULTONG".
Okay I’ll check it out
❤ hello D & J Reacts...... im a filipino living abroad. Don't worry each country has their own crimes. The good thing is most Filipinos speak and understand English. I know you're planning to go to the Philippines 🇵🇭 whichever country you're going protect your property and i guess its good to go with the locals.
One more thing don't accept food or beverages from random people.
Yes we’re aware of this. Thank you 😊
“22:14” am srry, out of topic, but I’m laughing coz your dad looks like interviewing that K-guy in the video. 😅
But, anyways, thanks so much for the rv! :)
Lmao 🤣
25:00 atleast there are still some honest people in the Philippines who will return your bag full of money like the Chinese and American who left their bags in a taxi and grab. Like many other countries in the world there are always trouble but you will have yet to see looters in shopping malls in the Philippines like what I've watched on TH-cam which is happening in America.
We can’t wait to get away from the craziness in America.
You may guys watch the history of south korea back then, year 1950, perhaps most of the koreans doesn't know about the contributions of the filipino's for their country☺️😉
