Thanks for watching!
Most of the comments here sound like a bunch of ungrateful, whinny wankers. What are you seriously complaining about? You saw the title of the video, the man delivered what else do you want? If u dont like the video then don’t watch it. Ya’ll sound like liberals.
Based.
@@simplestreetinterview I really feel sorry for you. Your comment section is full of dimwits. But then again, it’s a youtube comment section, you can’t expect much from it. Just do you, brother, you are doing well.
I just have one question I was hoping you could answer, how much time did it take to film this video? I’m thinking it must have been really hard since you interviewed a very diverse group of people.
😂😅
@roberthudson3602
Around 5 hours. I do think that paints an extremely inaccurate picture of the whole filming process, however. It's just that I'm very amicable and convincing, which in turn made people rather comfortable, that's why they joined the interview. A more realistic time frame would perhaps be 16+ hours, extending to several days, owing to the humongous number of people who weren't down to be interviewed. And lastly, I just want to say thank you so, so much for sticking around-- you've been here since the infancy of this channel! Stay based, brother!
Heres more negative but it could help your channel grow. Ur energy is uplifting but I guess u still have a lot to offer such as conversing in a Filipino way which is more funny. I know Filipino guys are very funny and energetic which is very contageous.
the beauty of the Philippines and the friendliness of the people is incredible
@@VersatileVision-887 like every other country on the planet
@@VersatileVision-887 Where do you rank your country of no poverty, corruption and environmental issues, that you seem to overlooked? 🙂
@@VersatileVision-887😅😅are you that rich?
It's sooo far away, but I really want to visit the Philippines!! I have several good friends who live there and they love it. Thanks for the interviews!
My pleasure! Our country is truly one of a kind, hope you visit someday!
Yes it's sooo far away, but it is worth a visit & you'll going to have an unforgettable once in a lifetime experience too.
Contrary to some comments here, I actually really like your style of interviewing. You don’t beat around the bush and just get the job done. I guess many people don’t like that approach since they expect the interviewer to be overly enthusiastic and pretend to be “buddy-buddy” with a total stranger. I prefer your straightforwardness than the false sincerity and friendliness of other interviewers. As a long time subscriber I’m happy that your channel is finally getting the recognition it deserves!!! Keep up the good work!!!
I was looking for a comment like this. I agree with pretty much everything you said here. I think most viewers don’t understand how the interviewer’s style works, probably just new subscribers? There’s still room for improvement, but I think generally his interviews are well done.
It is always good to know what other see and feel when coming to the Philippines. There are also surprising answers as well as very common observations of other visitors in the country. Keep it up....
The African said "we" as if he is already a Filipino and encouraging other foreigners to come to the country having been here for over a year. It's ok brother - we claim you as our own as long as you are good. Oh and 1st guy - from Australia is surprised how every food establishment has fried chicken. That's how much we love it - ummm maybe a little bit like our black brothers and sisters?
And I kept holding my breath, is he gonna mention Jollibee? Of all places, he didn't! Even Mang Inasal with UNLI rice! That's not it either! LOL! Oh well, chicken native for tinola here we go! Hahaa! 🙂
he referred to himself and his friends from Cameroon....otherwise is your childish imagination
I dont care whatever bad things I am hearing against my country Philippines.But for these foreigners almost all saying “I love the people they are very friendly and hospitable” I can live with that.
I like this. Bold of you go about town and interviewing. This is awesome!
It's ridiculously difficult to do interviews as such in the Philippines. Stumbling upon a comment like yours, rife with gratitude, makes me feel elated; that all my efforts in producing these videos had not gone in vain. It really propels me to keep going at it despite the insurmountable hurdles ahead. So thank you so much! I hope you continue sticking around for more!
I like Jasper for being honest because yeah some but not all are sometimes talking and spilling some tea while doing their duty. hahaha
The funny thing about the filipino people, yes they are friendly and filipino customer service is the best in the world, especially to foreigners!
the funny thing about pinoys is that they don't like it if you speak something negative about them.. all they wanted to hear from you should be nice..
@@2Sage-7Poets as a Filipino my self pretty True some of our people have that mentality 😅
8:27 She reminds me of Monica Geller from FRIENDS.
...congrats on 1000 subs and enjoyed the video, you're on fire,mate....
Thanks man! It would all be in vain without your support!
Your questions are always leading.
I don't know why people are still surprised that we are already westernized, when the Philippines and Filipinos have been around for several hundred years (1521 onwards). We might even be more westernized than some other countries in Europe. US influence plays a major part in our daily life, such as english language, the 2nd official. Our laws, gov't forms and books are all written in english. English is the medium of instruction in all subjects, except Filipino, and in all levels, starting primary up to college. Also, our national laws and constitution is partly based on the US system and laws.
We follow some american infras - buildings, houses, bridges, transpo (cars, bus, jeep, trains). We watch a lot of hollywood movies, sing english ballads in the karaoke and wear jeans and shirts most of the time. We like burgers, fries, chips, sausage, ice cream, cake, and all american junkfoods lol.
Yeah i agree with you..i was already thinking of this...i am also surprised that we are foreigners are surprised to find out that we are westernized...i watch a vloger from australia,england,american etc and they said that the Philippines is more like a South American country than asian..because of cultures and traditions..but our english speaking skills were not given noticed ,only when you remind them that we speak english...and you are right,the Philippines has been in the world stage since the 1500's unlike other asian neighbors because of the Spanish colonization..as one great journalist of ours Maximo Soliven (deceased)said that 'The Filipinos are regarded as the great brown race' by the world.
I really agree to your comment and one thing, we are pro US than those who are US citizens.
Its just foreigners are not aware of Philippines history
@@victoralcantara1350 Can you tell me what are the names of the vloggers? I want to watch it🥺
Unfortunately, liberalism , woke culture, devisiveness, lack of respect for elders , breakdown of family is also being picked up from AMERICA!
Just finished watching your vlog again 😊 Keep on posting! Sending support from Kimchiboi TV ❤
9:22 Yeah Jasper, it's really so quick here in Finland-NOT! There are lots of old people here and they like to socialize with the cashiers
as that's the only time they get to talk to a person. Also in Finland if you need assistance from a sales person, you'd be lucky to find one.
If you're that lucky, you'd need to wait as it's more than likely they're engaged with a person with "issues" with some product or something
that would take ages to resolve
6:20 This one is a local as she comes from one of the islands in the Spratlys
lol
Great content. Keep it up bro
Thanks man! 👊
More of this hehe
Wow i love Australian
People
Interesting concept. Keep it up!
Thank u, Mita! :)
Here is some constructive criticism. When they say something interesting they found, please ask them a detail about that (like what foods did you like most, if the guy says he likes all the types of foods), since it will reveal some interesting perspectives. It seems like a waste the follow-up question can't be more in-depth.
What can the Philippines improve on to attract more tourists, what made you come to visit the Philippines, what are the negatives and positives you experienced in the Philippines. Thank you for coming to our humble and modest country.
New subs here. I like your content. Keep it up!
Thank you so, so much! I’m really delighted that my craft resonated with you!
Just subbed, very interesting questions
Swahili in Cameroon, it's like asking a Filipino if they speak Indonesian.
They speak French right?
Perfect analogy.
keep it up bro.💪
Thank you, I certainly will!
Japanese are so nice they arrived here in thousands in 1945 😂😂😂😂
Tourism boosted by 1000000% 😂
i like steph from australia..
nice
nice video man
Glad you found it interesting!
cool content. would be nice if you could probe more after hearing their answers like when the black guy said that food is okay in the Philippines, it’s a bit unexpected since we have a reputation for “boring” food compared to other SE asian countries.
That chinese girl is waiting for you to ask her more questions
*PADAYON LANG*
I understand why some in the comments were sayiing something about this interview.. I found it kinda short too and it was bitin some of the people you interview also was shock when u said thats pretty much it hehe.. they thought they will say much more about their experience and thoughts.. but anyway hopefully next time give us 20 minutes of this interview lol so that no one will complain lol.. see u in the next interview hahahah
Hey man, check out the new video right now-- it's 20 mins, bro!
I think it would be better if you ask a little bit more, maybe other questions that you can use in other videos or topic so it wouldn't be awkward when they only share short answers. ❤
No Surprise as I have a lot of Philly friends here.
06:17 I think she wants to hold you. I mean shake your hands. 😂 Then realized you're holding something 😅
For me the reasons why foreigners choose the Philippines to leave here is that the expenses here is way cheaper than their own country. Next is the communication skills since most Filipinos speak English here so they don't have any difficulties asking for anything here. The next is the people living here who are very welcoming and friendly to other races. That is the most important aspects to consider if you want to leave to a foreign countries.
🥰🥰
❤
😍😍🇵🇭
Is this in Manila?
I like steff 😍
Hi Steph, You are most beautiful thing i have seen today
The questions are good but once they answer u, u have to explore their answer shows more interest !!!! And excitement , plus the way u ended your interview needs a lot of work !! But u can learn that overtime good luck
Bro next content ask them " What is your first impression about Philippines or Filipinos"
The Finland Guy is really cute. He can be my husband 😍😍😍
I'm a filipino, and I'am 100% agree with the finish guy, long queues in supermarkets & traffic
Yes it's true because our total population is 110 million while Finland is only 5million in total. 5 million is nothing compare to Metro Manila which is 25m.. you see the difference...
Theres a few people in finland that's why you feel faster unlike in philippines if go in supermarket there a long line in the counter.
Not like you think. I can say compare to China the ph is too slowly too as China have more people
The responses word, Right is over kill😅😅😅😅😅😅
The finnish guy is right. Everywhere here is in slow motion.
It’s like the DMV in the US if you know what I’m talking about hahaha
Which city is this?
the way you converse seems cold, just something I noticed bro cool content tho
A different perspective, a find it interesting the lack of the phil’s knowledge from foreigners. I’m resident here…there are great opportunities here…the people make it 200 fold.
We can’t have expensive things in Philippines or our people can’t afford there needs the money value is different we get paid by pesos not foreign denomination.
New sub here....
Welcome!!
i love the awkwardness at the end of these clips LOL
It's called simple street interview for a reason lol.
You'll experience the American influence here in Baguio. You'll meet kids and they're all like english speakers haha...a bit surprising for lowlanders going here...
Jasper is funny..
Jasper u r correct line or queue in Philippines is slow
interesting content. hope your interview is more conversational and not just answering “right” “amazing” etc 😅 guess it’s something you can improve in your future videos
I would definitely do that when I can. Thanks for the feedback!
I agree. It doesn’t come across very personable.
So slow, 100 percent true😂😂😂
Hmmm.a few decades back most foreigners would be scared of their safety in the Philippines. How times have changed.
the first thing french discover in phils is the food is crap but people are friendly
Maybe the interviewer needs to be more eloquent and conversational. The channel is about interviewing random people. Good com skill is a must.
there are lots koalas!
stef is very beautiful
Kelangan ma improve yung style and technique mo sa pag e interview. Awkward pare. Pero I'm looking forward in the future. I know you can do it.
Well looks like someone admire your questioning style not necessarily an interview but it leaves most of us vlog watcher reviewer hanging because we're expecting more than hi and goodbye unless you are creating a vlog for your own personal viewing that I can understand that your main objective is to not create a follower. All questions inquiries that starts with what who where when, how are all direct questions but most people with inquisitive minds would probably be curious as to how your interviewee came about to arrive in their conclusion as there's always a story behind a story but objectively some are just not interested in whatever else people have to say sometimes in this case vlog content may become more relatable to general viewers.
The Philippines has been westernized wayyy before the US was found and settled by Europeans lol. I don't know why people act surprised when they come to visit.
The Philippines is already in the global stage since the 1500s.
Mag interview ka pa Ng foreigner.,
the finland guy is so efficient he has nothing else to say
yeah, they aint a conversational sort
No latinos in The Philippines...?
Few and far between, I think.
@@simplestreetinterview latinos everywhere... were asian latinos
No they all crossed illegal into USA
You didn't ask the Chinese if she's living or on a holiday. Instead, you ask her which province in China. Maybe you are expecting her to be in Wuhan. 🤣🤣🤣
Nope, her English wasn’t that good so we just went with very simple questions.
@@simplestreetinterviewcome to interview me bro. I am here living in manila more than one year
The way you ended the conversation is awkward and seems rude. You better improve your ways of questioning and have manners on asking them, I feel like you're only doing interviews for content but lack of compassion 🥺
There is always a dumb comment in every good video. It might be awkward, ok, but rude? How? He literally thanks them for their time and probably does not want to take any more of it and does not interrupt when they give an answer and somehow that’s rude? Crazy logic u got there. What do u want him to do worship the ground they walk on?
@@emelietan7972 you seems to do it on his behalf
@@univerxcity It is just the truth. Trying to put someone down and pretending like it is some constructive criticism is just wrong.
I didn't think it was rude but it is kinda awkward. And i think the rideness you are referring to is the way he responds to answers -- "I agree." "Yes, you're right," like uninteresting one liners or double words ("Right, right." "Yeah, yeah"). Just needs more practice 🙂
i think it maybe awkward but not rude.filipinos are generally shy on conversing especially if its foreigners.and we kinda just like say yeah,of course or yes sometimes coz english is not our first language anyway.and its our way of treating the foreigners,just to please them like they are visitors of our house.and as long as there's mutual respect and we didn't mean to be rude on anyway.i guess its more of cultural differences and how we interpret each other's races.
Your responses could’ve been better instead of saying “right right” all the time. Like when the lady said “I live in Sydney” and your response was “Right” lol.
I'd date an australian fo sure
Parang Ang yabang magtanong ,konting malumanay naman NxTime galang words
magsapakan na lang kayo kaya , dami nyo Arte ,ok Naman Yun interview nya🤣😂🤗👍
AHAHAHA!🤣🤣🤣
HAHAHA SALAMAT, IDOL! NATAWA TALAGA AKO NOONG BINASA KO YUNG COMMENT MO!
@@simplestreetinterview you're welcome my Bruddha🤣😂😆
Your interview is very abrupt unprepared and dismissive my two cents have an introduction, and why are you doing an interview curious do you just want to know what they are doing there write down all your questions ask how they end up in your Philippine country, how they heard about it, what was their thought/impressions before and after coming to your country if you want to come up to talk to them ask hi can I ask you for a quick interview, do you have a minute are you/they tourist do you/they live there/here after interview thanks for your time I won't hold you too long I appreciate you for the time you spend with me thank you hope you a good day sir me'em not ma'am Vowell sound for American it's sounds like you calling them mom lol
mystery why filipino food is even more disgusting than uk food?but i like filipino people ,lived on cebu 8 years and got half filipino son
Some interviews looks awkward. Improve your confidence. Just a tip.
Steph, you're beautiful, you're still single?
Don't listen to other people, you can make short talk but you can decide not to include it in the video and focus on the question like asian boss does. Why would anyone want to watch a long ass vid. (Tho I think you forgot to ask the Chinese woman why she was here)
The interviewer seem biased. Seem he wanted only good comment for the Philippines on this content... Still more to learn about interviewing. Some behavior and etiquette in questioning needs to be corrected.
Remember not everyone thinks apple only comes in red color.
A bit superficial, follow through questions lack depth. You r constrained by time so ask only very relevant follow through questions. Why do you say, 'i agree', your opinion here is not important.
Answering with "right" and "amazing" to a response is annoying as hell
Improve mo pa po yung pag interview mo, mag practice kapa kung paano makipag interact ng maayos at yung mas masaya sana na pag interview sa mga foreigner para hindi awkward tingnan. Yun lang naman napansin ko :)
There is really a very annoying and rude vibe from the way you conduct your interview.
What is Steph's @?
I like the Chinese chick. I think she like you bruh
youre questions are none sense, no substance, very basic!!
dont ask the specific work. instead are you here for visiting, or study. when they answered, they are here for "worked" dont asked what type of worked. you have to respect privacy. Be confident when doing interview. Ask something like favourite food, places, what can you say about shopping malls. goshhhh dont be redundant. atleast ask something different in every people dont ask the same questions over and over!!!!
