I like your comments @ 14:30 when you said you like when other people see you as a black person and stirred away from you. I used to ask some black friends why are you mad a or cried racism when white person or another race do that? Me I could care less. I had an experience in a bus where no one wanted to seat besides me while they all cramped up in the front of the bus. I was just smiling and put my feet and my bag on the other seat. IT was a joy ride😂

as a filipino we used to have black people because we have black ancestors the "NEGRITOS", being black is not a big deal here in the Philippines, we treat them with dignity😊

There are more black people in my town (Cebu City) than ever before. Most of them are students together with their families. We, Filipinos, approach foreigners like they family, man. One time I saw this huge black fella and he look mean & scary but when I spoke to him, his smile made him a totally different dude than I thought he was. We friends ever since. He's originally from Nigeria.

Covering of nose and mouth with handkerchips is for protection agains air polution because jeepney is open air vehicle..

Right, my first experience riding the jeepney was fun but the afternath of it I had soot up my nose which was quite shocking. After that i would be covering my nose to protect myself from the pollution.

I'm from Manila Philippines - for me its just a color what matters most is the character of the person, if you respect us we will respect you more, if you show kindness we will show you more kindness, we are PINOY kindness is in our genes hehe

Everything is just about having proper information to educate everybody with the things that we are not used to for better understanding and acceptance…Generally we Filipinos are hospitable, accommodating, respectful, helpful and full of kindness and compassion. Racism is not in our character, only the western culture and media influenced some uneducated of that minority 1 out of a 100, which are supposed to be blamed with. By history we also suffered a lot of racism and discrimination, thus, we understand the feeling of to be despised and through that we learned to live life far away from its vicious nature. May God’s bless that we remain in humility and love. ❤️🇵🇭🙏✌️

you guys are such a good looking couple I would not be surprised that people in the Philippines would think that you are celebrities 💞

Hahaha Covering the nose is not racism. Pilipinos just simply didn't like bad smelling people. Pilipinos are very conscious about hygene.

Exactly! My husband is Indian.. and hell yeah! he smells like a baby 😂😂😂😂😂.....

you know what, we wish to have a Black Filipina doing the pasarela in the Miss Universe Pageant - that would be something, because there are a lot of Black Filipina mix that is very very beautiful

I'm a filipino living in saudi Arabia and I find black peoples are clean friendly and helpful. They're easy going people.

The Philippines is an extremely open country, you won't face any discrimination in the Philippines. On the contrary, as a black Canadian or African American, you will be welcomed with open arms because Filipinos are generally friendly and kind people. I face more discrimination in my home country than in the Philippines.

To shed some light on the covering the nose thing. Our country is pretty hot and humid. So whatever little body odor you have will permeate the surrounding areas. In my experience, some foreigners, especially those that come from colder climates or dry weather do not know this. Most are also not used to deodorants. Filipinos too will be discriminated if they smell off, i.e. smell like the sun or smell sour. That is why we have to wash our hair and body at least once a day and deodorants are a must especially to those that commute in public vehicles.

covering of the nose is a must while riding a jeepney, its an open air transportation. to prevent inhailing polluted air

hey there! first time here in your channel. i am Filipino and I love all races... We Filipinos are very friendly and we respect foreigners coming to our land.... cheers!

I am from the provice and when i was small and saw a black person we usually called them N name without thinking it was offensive to them because for us like me i have a darker skin color my cousins called me N name and i'm okay with it because its not the word it self its all about how you say it or how you use it like that.

We Filipino's are friendly coz its in our culture to be hospitable..we all about goid vibes 😂

I think most of the time some filipinos are avoiding black people or walking away from them is they are sometimes intimidated because black folks are mostly taller and bigger than most filipinos. ❤️😁🇵🇭

Being black people is normal for us because the Filipino race came from our ita's or black ancestor's all around the country

4:45, very right said, we are all human. One of the greatest things in life is to connect with different cultures and discover that we are one. Greetings from the Netherlands!

If you ride a jeep, you should cover your nose. Protect your lungs. That's air population.

Who says that only foreigners experience a biography interview or interrogation by a person or persons with smiley curious faces. When I went along on a vacation to a place or province that speaks a different language from ours, I only just had to speak to them with our national language Filipino (or tagalog). But while buying something on the local convenient store, someone noticed that I didn't have that "tagalog" native accent. A quick "kumusta", and after one or two friendly harmless questions. Then somebody said, "so where you from? ". Little did I know that it is the first question of the dreaded smiling interrogation. No one is safe. Filipinos, don't ever say that you came from a province that speaks a different language with the local interrogators. That experience may be okay and may sometimes even be fun for foreigners, and maybe it can also be for me, but I doubt it because since it's much easier for them to speak in tagalog than in english, aside from the too personal questions, I sometimes would also get 2 or 3 simultaneous questions that are also sometimes all personal questions. Don't

your correct. that's what happen when you live in a country with more than 100 languages. i am from cebu, when I was in davao and buying something in a sari-sari store even if they speak bisaya, they recognize me as a cebuano because of my accent.

when we bleed , WE BLEED THE SAME COLOR 😘❤❤🙏

it's not even about the black lives matter when i was elementary back in early 90's i have black best friend even in highschool i have black classmates and they are fine it's not about the race it's about respect if your a respectful person Philippines will love you back

Yeah I don't think BLM mattered much in the PH. 😅 The change we see now is because the black people who came earlier didn't reinforce the stereotypes. They were good people, so they were respected and accepted. Plus all the exposure to black people in media and the internet.

It is not that we disrespect by covering our nose, it just that our nose are very sensitive to smell it is not just by a foreign but also to local Pilipino if they stink it is normal for us to joke and kid around "maligo kana ang baho-baho mo ang daming tubig" translate to "go take a bath you really stink and there's a lot of water" it is a normal joke for a pilipino, pinoy usually a very hygienic person in general. Didn't mean to do that at first foriegn people will get offended but if you get used to it will become the joke in town and you will laugh about it. Even me my wife use to say i stink after i sweat doing something...😂😂😂

Thers a lot of African en Kenyan people in Cebu because of the International school there

actually, it is not about discrimination but we are not user to black people and we were hesitant to approach. we do not discriminate. it is just that since we keep on seeing them and being part of the community so we consider them as simply like neighbors. we are welcoming even without the black lives matter movie

Here in the philippines, it's normal for us to say "NEGRO" for black people and MESTISO for white people, or referring mixed white skin, not most of us thinking recist of that word

❤❤❤

Man, appreciate that beard, King.

We don't know black people??? Actually we do. Some of our ancestors are black and called Negritos. To be honest, they were discriminated before. Filipinos are now more open.

yoh its not racism when pilipino go to other direction when the see black the reason is there afraid too when what if you suddenly for direction or talk to them some of us are not good in speaking english specifically in rural areas.We love to mingle trust me but sometime language is the problem not the person or race.

Thé PH was once a colony of America for almost 50 hrs. Whatever good or bad news being fed by the media can / may influence the Filipino psyché. Pinoys not physically exposed but by media and later the actual events changed.

i always covered my nose with my handkerchief when i ride a jeepney because of pollution not because they are black people . Filipinis covering their nose using their hands if they dont have handkerchief and also He might didnt know that most filipinos especually women always carry handkerchief hehe but now no need it we just wear facemask now 😂

For me being Filipino I didn't no about black people., Being in the pinas is not a modern country ., I watch a u.s movie that the black was villain until I finally meet some black here and we became friend., Now I respect you all black.., your always welcome here anytime in Philippines

pilipino and african are brother.we are hebrews peleg and joktan.

covering our nose is not racism.. it is our way of telling you that you do not smell good..i mean come on .,in a hot country like Philippines we/you should atleast aware of yourself and surroundings.. deodorant is just a small price to pay ✌️

Maybe all of them mis interpret what they think of before the very ist time they come, , the truth pilipino look at them curiously because in us pilipino black is beautiful than white, , beauty is more distinct in black that being white, , but because pilipino are also brown black in color, ,most pilipina prepares to marry white to get good child breed 😅😅😅

I used to be like that when I see black, I immediately think black American 😄 good thing I met a man from Nigeria. I also used to think Africa was a country. It's a continent of 54 countries. I'm so ignorant 😄😭

Ya I’m black and white and people mistake me for a Indian all the time ….. you guys do hold your nose when you see black and Indian people. It’s nothing about how you smell it’s about how they think you smell.

no

it's so funny hearing that there were people covering their nose.

Honestly Filipinos aren't actually affected much by racism, we tend to lean more on the character, personality and traits of anyone we meet. Color nor race don't matter to us, if you present yourself as good people and know how to treat your fellowmen square and fairly you're all good with us!
