I visited the Philippines for a month in 2019 bumped around a few different islands and surfed. In all my global travels through South America the Mediterranean, India and elsewhere, I felt the people of the Philippines were generally very kind, genuinely thoughtful and very approachable and I would go back there in a heartbeat.

If ever you decide to get into a relationship with Filipinos, whether romantic or fraternal, know that when the going gets rough, the Filipino will fight to fix it not unlike the effort to salvage what's left of your flip flop. If flip flops are worth salvaging, imagine the value Filipinos put in relationships and friendships.

Hi Jonathan. As many have said below its all about how you act, and you do it perfectly. Just be chill and relaxed/ open and everyone will be the same. Unfortunately I have come across too many fellow westerners that act like they are mini Gods and this saddens me. One for how they act and treat the Filipino locals, and secondly it can reflect on us westerners who are not this way. I have lived in Maguindanao and Cotabato City for the last 10 years. Maguindanao is a place that usually is met with OMG why there it’s dangerous, are you not scared? From Filipino friends outside of Mindanao. The answer is no and the same as above, just be cool and boy will you ever find a better place or people. So miss understood I call it the land of endless smiles. I had to laugh at the Manong laying on the bench, he was making the most of the day. Tagay Pare 😊

thank you!!

lol.. watched your 1st videoke experience and vs this, I must say you've improved 😂 it doesnt matter if you sound good.. filipinos still find it funny and entertaining when a person doesnt sound good 😅 so just sing your heart out!

New subscriber here✌️😁. I just like how you interact so easily to my fellow Filipino people, I suggest nextime try to visit Iloilo City my hometown, you can do some research and if you decide try to go on December as I am going home for vacation then we can drop you to places and show you beautiful beaches 😊
