There was a time when I was in a jeepney and I forgot that I have no coins with me so I asked the strangers if they have a changed for my 1000 peso bill because I’m certain that the driver won’t have a changed for that amount. And then there was this girl that I asked if she have other bills to exchanged with my money and she said “no.” Instead, she paid for my fare without asking something in return. Even it was only a small amount compare to the money I have, I feel very luck that someone really offered to me without expecting anything in return and I think that’s beautiful. ❤️

Same thing happened to me. I only have 1000 peso bill, and I asked the driver if he has changed, he said no. I just said that my ride is free.

Filipinos are taught the Golden Rule since they're young: "Do unto others what you want others to do unto you." The mindset is, "what if I or one of my family members is in the same predicament? I would want someone to help me or them out also ."

Filipinos are known for that! JEWISH REFUGEES THE RUSSIAN REFUGEES KOREAN REFUGEES VIETNAMESE REFUGEES we accept them without anything in return..

Key thing is have fun and enjoy here but be wary of your environment at some point (mostly it depends upon the place you are in). Just like every country there is a dark side on the other side of the coin but basically, people here are very much willing to help and are hospitable. In a bunch of any fruit there is always a defected part.

They always smile even they suffered a difficult life everyday. I love phillpines hope someday we can visit again. Love from cambodia

I’m a local and one time I visited a friend in Clark Pampanga a nearby province. On going back I came to the toll and realized I left my bag with my purse and all in it. I stalled for a while near the toll hoping for a miracle. A while later, a driver asked what happened and after I explained my predicament, he handed me money for the toll. Yes, Filipino empathy and kindness is true.

If one thing, I’m thankful that being Filipino gave me the ability to cry, and cry for those who are fictional, strangers, animals, things and those who needs it the most. You can’t deny that when born in the Philippines, your heart is where your home is.

It's quite normal for Filipinos to not ask for compensation, being humble enough to let something as feeble as money go. Humble, compensation, wholesomeness, and empathy, love is what makes humanity, humanity, and that makes the Philippines.

We emphasize because we know how it feels to have nothing and most of us did not have the opportunity that other people have to give them advantage in life. we know and we understand when people goes through the same difficulties we experienced, and this is something that the worlds need. Apathy for me is sin that some people commit but never felt wrong about it. World needs to care for each other and that's how understanding starts basically. 😊

I almost read the 695 comments and thank you for appreciating filipinos we love people we don't need money for anything we just need love and love and love actually I'm a filipino and I watch vlogs about other country and they Always mention the word PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭 I'm so proud that I live in a place that became a famous because of helping others, beautiful beaches and nice and over warmed people.. etc.❤️ Actually I encounter I left my wallet and Im going to school and the tricycle driver and the jeepney drive said: OKAY LANG SASUSUNOD BAGO KA UMALIS NG BAHAY TINGNAN MO KUNG MAY KULANG KA PANG GAMIT and my friend treat me for my recess and in lunch we shared food 😁 and that day I realize that every one have a good heart every one do a mistake for the sake of their family... Actually we shy in front of camera but we love interview HHAHHA and I don't know why all filipino's have a good smile and we always smile even we have a problem ❤️😁😁 again thank you to all people loved the PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭

This is why I love filipinos, their so friendly and they share about kindness and always smile! Filipinos are the best people! ✨

It's true!!! One day after a long day of work. As i was about to to pay a jeepney driver i was soooo shock at finding out that i lost my fair. I was about to cry because i don't know how will i go home without it! I have no cellphone, no coins to call home to when i whisper to the driver " sir, i lost my fair and i can't pay yòu to ride your jeepney and i really need to go home. After saying that, he just smiles at me and said nothing. Then he ask where would you want to go ? I told him the place then he smiles and said relax. I was soooo relieved!!!! That is why i love my country more!!!!

Happened to me once, I was going home from work the driver just said "that's all right, you don't have to pay for it, that happens." I could never be prouder.

That's just us. At an early age, our parents teach us empathy and helping others in need, they always say that for all we know, someday we might be the one who will need that help and some random stranger will not hesitate to extend it to us.

Seeing the positive comments from the foreign friend makes my heart warm.

Funny, you're worshipping religion that was never discovered by filipinos, was never supposed to serve you or by you. It was made from a thousands of miles from foreign lands.

We also care a lot about our image and what other people think of us. That’s why sometimes, we are coerced to be kind and empathetic, especially towards foreigners. Haha. But yes, I feel like Filipinos are usually more emotional and sensitive to other people’s needs. There was a viral photo recently of a leukemia patient riding the MRT on his way to a television network to seek help. Instead, the people in the train started chipping in money for him so he can have the diagnostics exams he needed. Filipinos understand what it feels like to have hardships, so when we come across someone who needs help, we are usually helpful towards them. Because we know how they feel. But of course, all countries have their bad apples.

Love the love u give to the Filipinos n also in general loving appreciation is always amazing to witness

When I was in college, my class just got back from a field trip, and it was late at night. While we were waiting for jeepney rides to go to our homes, a teen approached all of the student groups to beg for food. "baka may sobra po kayong pagkain?" (do you have extra food?) When he was done collecting the food. He approached a family sleeping at a waiting shed (like a small covered bus stop). He left all the food he'd collected, then he walked away. Apparently, he does not know the sleeping family, but just felt sorry for them that he begged food from us for them. --- The world is a richer place, when even those who are poor looks out for those who are poorer than them.

Thanks bro for uplifting us Filipinos. God Bless you man.

And we love how you appreciate us with this vid

We value people and puting smiles on our face is everything.... Filipino are noce and friendly ...

Tom. thank you for uploading this video. keep it up 👊

Yes, especially if we see that your a good person and respectful to us, definitely we'll help you out. But for some other tourist which kinda disrespectful, no thanks

My deepest gratitude to you Sir!!! Love you for loving us Filipinos and I do hope others too! Thanks for the video and God bless you and your family always!!!

This video is full of positivity. Thank you Tom for sharing. We have to remember man is basically good.

Thanks for the appreciation Tom. Godbless.

Thank you so much dude..keep loving our country

I think its part of the culture to the Filipinos when someone need their help even though they have a small amount in their hands they still help others... Filipino always help each other not jus in times of war or calamity but the essence of the Gods love in their hearts

I was flattered upon reading your vlog. I never thought giving some kind of a little help is already a great thing to others. Thanks for reminding us we still live in a great Philippines with great Filipino people. God bless Finding Tom.

Thanks Tom!!! Filipinos are here to help!

Such kind and loving words to the Filipinos. You will always be treated like family and to make sure you are having a wonderful experience in the Philippines. Mabuhay. ♡♡♡

it is the will of God to help each other,this is the real meaning of love! and filipinos are the covenanted servants of God that is why,we feel and understand others situations. the law of God is with us!

Oh wow...your channel has grown so fast. I subscribed at less than 2k. Good job Tom! We, Filipinos are naturally caring. Empathizing is alot easier since most of us came from the difficulties of living in a developing nation, always hit by different natural phenomenons.

Thanks for your appreciation of the Filipinos’ genuine kind gestures, most especially to foreigners like you. We ❤️ to make our visitors happy, leaving smile in their face - mind and heart

They speak an island language (Filipino/Tagalog), mixed with Asian languages like Chinese and mixed with European words like Spanish. Even their languages are interesting and shows that they had experiences with many other people and cultures.

I work with a lot of Philipinos/as people. My supervisor is from there. One of the best supervisor s by far, than I ever had. 💓I send best wishes to all Philipinos and everyone else , always. Sandra😘

wow Tom, you almost hitting 100k subs, gogogo and ready for more adventures and exciting vids, 😃😃😃👍👍👍

Your on point that’s absolutely true. Filipinos are very emphatic people .

I Love how they protect by parenting each other. Related or not! And so much more. All cultures are marvelous indeed!. The philipinos take care of one another like no other 👍💓. Of course all cultures have they're good and not so good sides. Our own also 😒. If we focus on the good sides of each other, we will see the wonderful truth in reality! All people are basically the same. Skin colors, diff beliefs, language diffs...all of it, is not reason to pass n believe in negative assumptions. Learn to embrace each other's cultures, look past or through any if at all previous, negative thoughts about others. Philipinos go above and beyond in so many ways. Admirable culture on the most part. I'm on a personal mission to encourage anti racism. KZread is a great start.

My husband’s friend initially got so weirded why I’m too nice and giving. A lot doubted it thinking that we have a malicious motive. My husband have to reassure his friend that it’s normal in our culture to be that generous and giving. If you are our visitor in a traditional Filipino family, it’s common that you will receive the best of everything because you are a visitor!

I agree. I was there for a month and what I loved about their culture is how kind they are.

Thanks for this observation. I am always hopeful that ALL FILIPINOS will look to all the positivities, despite what we lack. Contrary to what the others said, that our country is too bizarre to change. I am always hopeful and thankful to anyone who would see the Philippines and its People (the Filipinos) as emphatic, kind, hospitable, talented, and loving. Again, thank you and God bless.
