I Met Someone Special In The Philippines (
After spending so much time in the hoods of Manila, it was time to get some fresh air. Just a few hours north of Manila is the former site of the Clark Air base. And just outside of Clark is a village home to the Aeta people, who are Melanesian or "black Filipinos".
I decided to visit with my new half-American acquaintance, Rose. I had no idea what to expect, which was good, because I ended up taking an entire village on a field trip across grasslands to a local theme park. And to think I just wanted to have a lazy Sunday afternoon..

It is really nice of you to have provided entrance fee for the children to see the amusement park. They may not have said thank you, they may not even know 'Sabbatical'. But rest assured - their classmates, friends, relatives and neighbors will hear of it today and for the years to come, that one afternoon in early 2023, you brought them there.

That he payed entrances fees in the equivalent value of 100kg of rice.. Yes, that will be a great story to tell
For those who are "concerned" about me. Lol. I'm an introvert and I get uncooperative sometimes. I have my own life now and my everyday life doesn't revolve around the fact that "my father abandoned me". I may live in a third world country, but I think I am living a better life than some girls (in the US or not) with married parents/complete family growing up. I'm thankful for the gift of life that I have. 🤍 And my mother was not a hooker 🤭

Nice response Rose! As a black man, who is a dad and lolo, I certainly would have been proud if you were my daughter. Stay proud of who you are and where you come from. I'm an introvert as well, and it's hard for people to sometimes understand folks like us, but that's not our problem.

Your comment made me rethink how I perceive people, especially in Tommy's videos, because some of those things crossed my mind when I saw the interview bit with you. Now I feel almost ashamed for that. Why is it that we draw these conclusions so quickly? Heck I would even go as far and say your life is probably more interesting than mine.
I Like the fact you don’t follow the typical Philippines vlogging destinations. Good to see some different places.

this is facts, all the other philippines bloggers are just the " OH LOOK AT THIS NICE BEACH! " " LOOK AT THIS EXPENSIVE RESORT " i rather see the true philippines, i visited manila and cebu city last year.
Tommy, you are a decent person not just with the little girl in Africa, but also the little ones in the Philippines, keep up with your genosity and your good will toward others.
Thanks for taking us on your adventures!
What a good guy. Those kids just love the simplest things.
I know how you feel when helping the native Filipinos to get inside that park . It always reminds me when I visit Iloilo City, Philippines - so many aetas wondering the City especially those kids who does not wear clothes- fully naked. Chasing you for foods. Immediately run to the bake stores and buy those breads and gave to each one of them. I have silently my emotions run high but oh boy- it really feels good to share what you have to somebody needs it…… I commend your intentions. ❤️🇺🇸🇸🇽

@@goldbluetears well introverts, if filmed a certain way could make them look depressed. and no i'm not american lol. well, hyped up / fake positive / cheerful is just generally a better appearance than down / true negative / not cheerful. Anyways, it's like an interview, do you go to one all sad thinking i'mma be myself lol. No they gotta fake it so they'll be someone that's appealing and interesting. Sure i'd be interested in why a person looks depressed but that's all.
Filipinos are very peaceful and gentle people.
I envy him. He travels to all the parts of a country I would usually like to explore myself.
That's a good shout Tommy paying for the kids to get in the park, peace be with you✌
I recently emigrated to the Philippines,I live in Cebu city with my gf since March 23th. So my journey here just begins actually,but I already feel so at home here already with everyone being so friendly and curious about that white smiley guy 😊

You still there ? You have enjoyed it ?
You’ve become my favorite KZread channel. You always bring out what is beautiful about the moment you’re in, the people you’re with.
What a beautiful kind thing to do
I’m a relatively new subscriber but I gotta tell you that I’ve been enjoying your videos. I admire how down to earth you are and able to get along with different kinds of people. It’s also fascinating how you learn the different local languages quite well. You’re a real traveler. Stay safe always and God bless you.
Awesome you recognized the need for an exercise of charity. Well behaved children will always be found outside of the cities. Well done brother. I was born and raised around Cornwall and Newburgh. You are one of the few who represent NY properly.
Videos like this are why I follow and why I love your work here. Thanks Tommy!
Appreciate your unique travel videos. Unconventional tours are the best. Great for those people to have you turn up out of the blue. Great video, thanks. Keep them coming. 👌💯👍✌️
You are such a good dude, Tommy. I really enjoy traveling the world through your lens. Thanks for being an inspiration.
Good Man, Sabbatical. Always do the right thing. 💓
Never seen the inside of Clark base . Thanks for showing these places that even some Filipinos like me that never seen them before. Watching from San Francisco CA 🇺🇲. Peace ✌️🇵🇭.
Cool bro was waiting for this. Love the Philippines 🇵🇭
Salamat po, Tommy po, you probably made the kids best adventure they will ever have, your heart is so awesome
Godbless u Tommy brother. They have it so hard in the Philippines 🇵🇭
That’s so cool tommy and awesome taking those kid’s!!! Love the vids
Salamat po Mr. Sabbatical! God bless you!
Learning to say goodbye for the kids while the theme song plays..... EPIC!
My wife and daughter-in-law are both from that area. My father-in-law was employed at Clark AFB for 35 years. My family and I will be visiting in July and August. Loved the video. There are so many interesting things about the Philippines.
Our indigenous people.. the Pure Filipino. Thanks for sharing
Such a good adventure and rose was amazing so many facts too , looks so good there at Clark’s
Absolutely wonderful video. I’m just gonna say it you are awesome man!
Very kind heart to treat the kids. Hope you enjoy your stay at the Philippines!
Thank you for sharing your videos my brother. Your videos are always informative and awesome
Nice video Mr. Tommy, greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬.
WOW, Tommy, great video and awesome gesture you've pulled on those kids! It was a day experience for you, but they'll remember you for the rest of their life!
Man that was one of the nicest thing you did to get tickets for all those people to go to the park. Blessings !
What a absolute legend you are! Very heart warming content.

Nice thing you did there! Love your videos!
We want to visit Philippines end of this year 🇵🇭❤️ have a nice trip and take care 😊
Great video Tommy....I've been all over the Phillipines and this series is a greeat portrait of the country. Taking those kids to the dinosaur park is walking the walk...cheers! I flew out of Clark air force base when I was sent to Vietnam and spent many R&Rs in Olangapo from 71-72...I like to think I was responsible and respectful during my visits. Wonderful country and people.
Hello Tommy, How nice of you to take the kidds to the zoo😊
Nice job as always, Tommy.
This was a really good thing to do, Tommy. God bless 🙏❤
I visited that park in 2019 with a filipina who I eventually brought to America and married. That park is a great first date
Great video Tommy! I am your neighbor from NJ. Very nice of you to treat them to the park. Love your videos and would like to see some of where you stay and eating when in different places.
Tommy's vloggs are no 1 for sure he deserves the highest subs nd Likes in utube, always interesting with history lessons.

Tack!
thank you sir for inviting those people/ inside these park
Amazing video man! ❤🎉 I’ve been to the Philippines and I must say these people are the most kind people I’ve met :)
The originals village is something rarely vlogged about this is a very refreshing video 😊
At last you meet one of the indigenous people of the Philippines 🇵🇭

Aetas, the Aborigenes of the Philippines! Subic Bay & Clark AFB was closed down after Mt Pinatubo erupted! Glad I discovered your vlog today!
Great content Tommy! Rose is Beautiful😍
Hi, your video's are so informative and enjoyable. Your always smiling,thanks. Watching from Southern California, beach area. 🤗
You were doing this right around my son's 7th birthday, March 21st. Good on ya Tommy. 👏
❤ good job. I’m headed to phillipines in a couple months and I plan on treating as many kids as I can to something special.
Always handsome Tommy!! Great adventure and insight man!! 🤩
Glad that youre enjoying your stay...
Man, great video. I feel so much better being a patreon member now, (I was wondering WTF). Look forward to your content Mi Amigo.

It was pretty cool of you to take that family to the park. They live near it and have never been able to go, so I'm sire they will always remember you.
Awesome THANKS FOR KINDNESS
As per usual Tommy love the Pilipinas vids. Glad you met the Aetas but maybe you should spend more time with them! It's good to get a glimpse of the native filipinos. Rose is a vibe and sad she didn't get to know her father. Her father must of been African American decent. I hope your going to the other islands! I'm hoping to do a lot of the archipelago and do vlogs. You need to meet Whang Od and and also see the hanging coffins in Sagada! It's so nice of you to bring those kiddos to the theme park 😢. Maybe one day you'll bring your own. Get a lady start a family 😉! Peace x ✌️
Love the overall relaxed vibe of your vids. Easy to watch, a breath of fresh air.
That is very good of you to treat them.
Another great video
I am binge watching your vlogs. Just discoverec you. Most of my family in different burrows of New York. I enjoy your down to earth demeanor and and your realistic vlogs of how different cultures really live❤
Ur a great guy, could tell they enjoyed it 😊
