so happy you enjoyed the trip!!! as a black girl I love watching these vlogs and seeing you have fun but also getting the inside scoop afterwards so thank you so much for sharing 💞💞💞💞
@@redactedredacted8434 john talked about it. Jodi refrences it in their respective videos. TLDR noel is a basterd human being that held them hostage untill they paid him sum amount of money. Prior he was nice and helped them with attractions like boat rides and what not. After all the fun he proceeds to hold them hostage until they paid him what he wants they sent john to walk untill he found an atm and had to walk back
It sucks that I wasn't able to go to the DSG fan meet ;--; It was our exam week but I'm glad you guys enjoyed your stay in the Philippines. I'm also happy that ya'll liked Tapsilog!
The places you went to is kind of common place for foreigners, especially Boracay so the locals are used to all colors. Once you go to not so touristy place like the country side, you are going to get a lot of stares. But worry not, that is out of curiosity more than anything because you will stand out as a foreigner. And discrimination in the Philippines is more based on social status more than race or color. As long as you are respectful, people will give back or more of the same respect.
I’m so happy that you felt safe and had fun in the Philippines! I’m Filipino and just started watching your content and when I saw you went to the Philippines, I was so excited to see your vlog!! Really great content, Syd!!
Glad you enjoyed the Philippines! I know travelling can get exhausting, but sometimes I wish I could pay trips for you to go on because I love watching your vlogs sm that I find myself rewatching old vlogs often and want more 😭❤
Glad you had fun here in the Philippines Syd! Too bad I didn't get to see you guys at the fanmeet... I hope you guys come back and I'll finally see you then!
watching travel vlogs from your group is always so nice to me. As someone with anxiety, depression, and not a lot of money to do things its hard to even go out close to home. I would LOVE to do something like this in the future and try all the foods, see all the places, and hopefully not get sick like toast did lol. Thank you for sharing your experience! Was a lovely watch :)
i am so glad you felt safe here. we don't care if a foreigner is black or not. we are just generally amazed to see foreigners u know. if it happens that you are stared at, it's because of pure curiosity. thank you for visiting Philippines!
Black American people are pretty much safe in the Philippines. That I can tell you. I've met a lot of Black American people and we've been treating each other like they are part of us. Any bad treatment against black people in the Philippines only a small percentage but it's barely noticeable, if not, it doesn't happen at all. I said this in your previous vlog, I'll say it again. You are very much welcome if you want to come to the Philippines again. Either in an event (except CONQuest) or just for vacation.
I'm not really one to comment on vlogs, I simply watch them and enjoy them in peace while eating or destressing from work. Must say, this is why I love Syd's vlogs in particular. It's her authenticity, ingenuity and sincerity as a person - you can feel it through the screen like she's actually talking to you. Ngl, tugged on some heartstrings at the end. Love you always, Syd, and thank you for your appreciation, we appreciate you more!
i was wondering where toast was lol bc he’s disappeared in everyone’s boracay vlogs with no explanation 😂 kudos to you eating balut! i’m glad you liked it 😊
Always love Syds vlogs!! Thank you for loving the Philippines - it makes me so proud beyond belief - specially as a Filipino American that sometimes feels a bit estranged from my culture.
So many people say that about the Philippines I follow many black women travellers and they always say the Philippines is the place they have felt safest and most welcome. What a magical place
Oh to clarify about 15:55 It’s in the definition on the left, but the beef of the dish is just “tapa” not “tapsilog”. Tapsilog is the name of the whole dish, to anyone curious. And usually, I can’t lie, it’s the garlic fried rice that carries a lot of Filipino dishes. If y’all wanna improvise some like nice brunch with rice I’d highly highly recommend garlic fried rice with literally anything.
aw i'm glad the philippines treated you well and that you felt comfortable as a black woman! there's a lot of diversity in the way filipinos look so it makes sense :>
Wishing my bf and I will see you next time 😭 it was also his bday 03-16, but there were some instances that we couldnt attend the event but, hopefully next time! been a fan of you syd, jodi, & john even before you got into otv! Love u guys!!! 🤍🤍🤍
They haven't figured out black magic yet😂 That's like what we do to make fun of our friends back on the 90's😂 I hope you try canyoneering when you visit here again.😁
The hosts were cute! Of course the DSG group too 💜and for Syd to say she's a picky eater she was very down to eat the Balut tho. 13:50 oh no, is this this Noel person 🤣 17:50 oh! That's very interesting ngl! And yeah, not surprised the people didn't judge Syd. It's quite common here so yeah. If you're a white person, *a little* different but honestly only noticeable if your in certain areas and honestly not a big deal either. For solo travel being a woman or a black woman, I don't really have anything to say really. I mean, it's not like particularly dangerous like in lots of other countries HOWEVER it's not particularly safe either. But I don't see a problem traveling alone in the Philippines man or woman. And we're happy that you enjoyed your stay here in the Philippines! Filipino's are some of the kindest people and we *ARE NOT* afraid to show our love! And we may not be afraid to show our love, BUT we for the most part also respect boundaries! And Shanghai next, huh? Man, it's been so long since I first went to Shanghai. I was so young so I don't really remember much of it.
Not kidding, the cohost wearing the Melody shirt is EXACTLY what I imagine Michael and LilyPichu's kid would look AND act like (not that they have any interest in having kids).
Whoever booked the club for DSG, thank you for kicking the President's son out.
Well worth it hahaha
imagine jake cyrus beefing with dsg
4:10 Tenzin has the most expressive face ever. I love her.
Omg i didnt even notice first glance 😂 i fucken love tenzin lmao
Tenzin's face during this time stamp, was exactly mine the entire time after sydeon said "I think thats a head"
bro her closing statement made me so emotional
I was in the last row of the DSG meetup queue, it was 8+ hours wait and syd was STANDING
This girl got chasms of energy
toast with the priorities ajdhdkhskajshs "enough with the ube, look at the dog" 😭 damn right
This was a great vlog!
TapSiLog
Tap= Tapa (Cured Meat)
Si= Sinangag (Fried Rice)
Log= Itlog (Egg)
very important to know the silog word to fully understand the silog dishes :D
13:30 Syd and Jodi in the same frame, the prettiest!!! Everyone was glowing!
so happy you enjoyed the trip!!! as a black girl I love watching these vlogs and seeing you have fun but also getting the inside scoop afterwards so thank you so much for sharing 💞💞💞💞
Noel bro they covering the Noel situation
@@allen2reckless676 what are you talking about. Who's Noel and what's his situation. I'm honestly curious.
@@redactedredacted8434 john talked about it. Jodi refrences it in their respective videos. TLDR noel is a basterd human being that held them hostage untill they paid him sum amount of money.

The true experience of going to the Philippines, come with 1 luggage leave with 3 cuz of pasalubong (gifts & souvenirs)
It sucks that I wasn't able to go to the DSG fan meet ;--; It was our exam week
but I'm glad you guys enjoyed your stay in the Philippines. I'm also happy that ya'll liked Tapsilog!
kicking the son of the president is CRAZY
dasurv lmao
@@ascendannn was about to say LOL.
Dasuuuurb! 😂
dasurv
i forgot if it was on john's or peter's stream, but he said that the president's son reserved 2 tables on that club.
Dude the angle this was shot with Toast is so funny
the ending 🥺 we love you syd. hopefully you guys can do another meet and greet here (bc was busy and couldn't go this time, next time frfr!!)

thx Toast and DSG for organising and paying for this :)
Not really accurate. Arclight was the one who organized it. They invited Toast and his DSG Friends for this event.
Glad you had fun here in the Philippines Syd! Too bad I didn't get to see you guys at the fanmeet... I hope you guys come back and I'll finally see you then!
have been a large binge of otv and your videos, can happily say my new favorite streamer

This vlog was such a beautiful encapsulation of Sydeon’s perspective, thanks for sharing 💌

Riku was literally shaking eating that balut omg
I love how the Host is shaking and more nervose than Sydeon @3:16 🤣
2:24 Voh! Michael and Lilly's daughter is hosting the DSG fan-meet! 😳🤯
Oh to clarify about 15:55

that's why there's tons of silog dishes lol
TAPSILOG REPRESENT!!
Love your vlogs as always! Also did the guys ever figure out Black Magic? 😂
Glad you enjoy your visit.
Tapsilog on top !
I just realize that is where i graduated last year😂😂
Deserve na nakick out yung isa dyan HAHAHAHAHA
Cannot even use his powers lol
Aahhhh I can see myself in 0:50 taking a picture in the front LMAO
Sydeon: 18:10-18:13 BASED.
aw i'm glad the philippines treated you well and that you felt comfortable as a black woman! there's a lot of diversity in the way filipinos look so it makes sense :>
OMGGGGG good morning Syd!!
Yo quality vlog. Hahahaha
9:06 bird was a paid actor
As a Filipino we as whole community gotta stop forcing foreigners to eat balut!
Wishing my bf and I will see you next time 😭 it was also his bday 03-16, but there were some instances that we couldnt attend the event but, hopefully next time! been a fan of you syd, jodi, & john even before you got into otv! Love u guys!!! 🤍🤍🤍

THEY ACTUALLY BOOTED BBM'S SON FOR THE TABLE LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
AHH SYD YOU’RE MAKING ME MISS HOME 8:29 😭😭
The hosts were cute! Of course the DSG group too 💜and for Syd to say she's a picky eater she was very down to eat the Balut tho. 13:50 oh no, is this this Noel person 🤣
17:50 oh! That's very interesting ngl! And yeah, not surprised the people didn't judge Syd. It's quite common here so yeah.

I think they kinda slowed down the saucer thing because people have actually died while riding it...
19:18 phrasing, syd, oh no no no.
Ube mama is a gods kiss and you can only buy it on boracay.
Great vlog!! You're so beautiful ❤️
Watching the vlog to hunt noel
