My dear Filipinos friends: as a young teenager escaping Vietnam and landed in the refugee camp in Puerto Princessa City, Palawan in 1988, I experienced all of the hardships a refugee went through. But the highlight of my 2 years there was the local Filipinos who treated us with courtesy and care. When I was sick and admitted to the WesCom (Western Command) military hospital, the Filipinos medical staff of doctors and nurses and even military personnels there treated me with love and professionalism, not as a poor refuge soul. And when we had a chance to go to the city via the popular tricycle, the local people from the market, restaurant, movie theater treated us kindly ( mostly, due to some ignorant Vietnamese thugs who didn't know how to behave) . I have nothing but Love and Respect to the Philippines as the country and its kind people. All of my fellow refugees who stayed there were thankful to you all for taking us in and taking care of us during our difficult time. Once again, Thank You! Love from Tennessee, USA 🇺🇸

Thanks for bringing us Chaolong brother! I grew up near Vietnam Village in Santa Lourdes honday bay. Regards from Berlin🇵🇭🇩🇪

When we were new here in Canada , I met a Vietnamese handyman doing repairs to our apartment. He told me he and his family owe their lives to the Philippines. They stayed in the refugee camp before moving to Canada. His children became professionals one of them became a doctor. The next day, this handyman brought a computer for my kids. True story.

You should also visited Morong Bataan in the Philippines. I think that place was a bigger refugee camp than Palawan during the 80's. Aside from Vietnamese, they also accepted Cambodians and Laotian refugees. God bless the Philippines for doing this humanitarian deeds during the Vietnam war.

Bataan was indeed much larger than Palawan, but it was a kind of transit camp for a short 6 month language training programm for all those who are accepted by the USA both from refugee camps arround Asia and migrants from Vietnam. Unlike Palawan, a refugee camp for all boat people reaching the Philippines, where we stayed to wait for a resetlement land, some even waited for years ( I myself 4 long years from 83-87), hence, the longer one must stay, the more complicated mixture memories with all the taste of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy would buried in one´s life, ready to be recalled when seeing videos like such...

Do you know during the height of the Vietnamese refugees, Philippines helped them out in many different ways. Most of the Vietnamese were in Bataan Philippines. The Filipinos helped them prepare to go to the West. Teach them the western ways because Philippines are westernized Asian. Hopefully someday they will recognize this help and give tribute to the Filipino people. Do you know the Philippines helped the Jewish community in Germany too ? When no one likes them and only the Philippines gave them shelter and respected them. After all, if you think about it Philippines has been very good to mankind. They are FRIENDLY, hospitable and God fearing people.

Philippines is not a rich country, not so developed but it has been a beacon of hope for those refugees seeking an asylum, and the history can attest to that. 1. 1st batch of "White Russians" - 1922 2. Jewish Refugees - 1934 3. Spanish republicans - 1937 4. Chinese Kuomintang - 1940 5. “Tiempo Ruso” 2nd wave of White Russians - 1948 6. Vietnamese "Boat People" - 1975 to 1992 7. Iranian refugees - End of 1970's 8. Indo-Chinese (Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam) - 1980-1994 9.East Timorese - 2000

The reason for that is in Malaysia, they still remember the time when the cham people and the cham kingdom (Malay/Austronesian people) where destroyed and annihilated by the vietnamese. South Vietnam today is a conquered territory. And what's left of the cham people today are scattered in various places like Cambodia, China and Malaysia. So, it is not because we are the only one e who want them, it is just some countries have a bad memories. Today, it is other countries like Indonesia and Malaysia who are accepting refugees from Myanmar. Not us. Okay. So please stop acting like we the most magnanimous country in the neighborhood.

Kyle thanks for sharing the video. Brings back a lot of memories of us being there in the early '80s. We're from Laos your next door neighbor and yes we both had a rough life to get to where we are today in the US. The Philippines camp is the best compared to Thai camp. We did not stay there long but it was the best time we had, the freedom we had we didn't back in our own country. We left there in 1984 and headed for America. I was only 12 years old.

Thanks Kyle for bringing this up. I am Filipino, maybe that's how we are made of. To help! in the 2nd world war, we are the only country in the world who opens our shores for the Jews in Europe. we fought for battles in the Korean war, and yes for the Vietnamese people who needed a refuge. That's who we are.

I was part of the first group that landed there in 79. There was a military base a mile away. I remember an airplane landing strip close by. The beach was full of tiny crabs that has one big claw. We ran toward them and they ran back in their holes. I remembered cooking a pot full of them but they weren't tasty because very little meats. When the ocean water recede, there was a straight path out half a mile to a white sand oasis beach. The villagers near by were friendly and assist us when they can. I left sometime in 1980 to San Francisco.

Philippines and Vietnam are great friends. They even had both their armies play volleyball on a contested island by China

My dad was in that camp before he had the chance to go to France, i watched the video with him and in 26 years, i've never seen my dad crying. I can't imagine how it was at the time.

Thanks Kyle, you are very intercultural and mindful of Vietnamese root. I enjoy this video very much. I is reminiscent of the experiences i and thousands of others went thru. I encourage you to travel to Bataan, is another wonderful refuge where about 40, 000 Indonesian and Vietnamese including myself used to live there til 1995.

I was born in Bataan Morong refugee camp 1981.

I'm Filipino, I was recruited by the US Navy in Subic Bay in 1985 and went to California for my first duty station. I met a Vietnamese who was one of the boat people, he's got a lot of stories about his family's ordeal during those times. They ended up in the refugee camp in Palawan, Philippines. He was one of my closest friends in the military. When I left in 89 for my next duty station we lost contact and to this day I've been trying to get in touch with no luck. To you my dear friend, Daniel Duong, stay safe..God bless you always.

That's how the identity our group since Zambalez was the fishing village our boat made it to after leaving Nha Trang Thap Ba 6 nights prior. Those images in the video brought back some memories that hasn't resurfaced I left the island. I also remember this refugee camp was close to the airport and our bamboo shelter was beach front right behind a retaining wall to keep out water on high tide days. We have massive corals and reefs in other to get to the water but sandy beach was a very short distance away. Palawan is definitely on my bucket list as it would be a very meaningful vacation

I was born and raised in San Francisco, CA in the 70's so the Vietnamese immigrant experience is something I got to watch first hand. I also took ethnic studies classes at SFAU and CCSF. SF has some great SF Vietnamese restaurants - so I had hi expectations. Oh well. Eventually I found out there is still a good Vietnamese restaurant walking distance from the Puerto Princessa airport. The city also also still has Filipinized Pho and Ban Mi stands that I grew to like when I stayed there. When I finally visited Vietville it was nastalgic and also a bit sad to realize the great food and community is now gone. But then as you have mentioned they - the boat people have created better lives in other parts of the worlds. It made me think of all my Vietnamese immigrant classmates growing up and their families. Great homage. lol, I had to walk balk after visiting until I found a tricycle :)

I remember when I was 10, there were Vietnamese people who came to our place, they came in a boat and they were called "refugees". That time I didn't know what refugees means. All I know is that they were strangers. Our local government place them in a Health Center and were given food and clothes, mats and blankets to sleep on. My family use to go there and visit them and give them anything from tomatoes, rice and dried fish. They couldn't speak English and so was very hard to communicate. I made friends with a young boy and a girl, I couldn't exactly remember the name but it sounds like "Trin" or "Tirin". They stayed there for almost a month until the government moved them to Palawan which is the place in the video.
