Thank You PHILIPPINES British Family SO GRATEFUL For Filipino Welcome
We made this video to illustrate how amazing the Filipino welcome has been for us, a British family trying to make the Philippines home for the last 90 days on Siargao Island.
We are so grateful to the people of this country for making us part of the family and showing us how good a nation can really be. We've never experienced anything like it.
This is a 90 day highlight reel of all the great things we've experienced since making the choice to remain on this paradise island of Siargao. The Hawaii of the Philippines.
We are so grateful and happy that we decided to make this island home.
This is the end of our 3 month story. Our 'New Normal' and new future. We moved to the Philippines for a new start and this is day 90 of our Philippines Daily Vlog which we started to document what life would be like for a British Family trying to work out life in this very exotic and beautiful country.
Our names are Jmayel, Sacha & Story. We traveled to Siargao island with Jmayel's mum & Story's grandma just before the Global pandemic that sent the whole planet into quarantine. We now been living in Siargao for over 7 months and fell in love with island life, now we want to make that life more permanent.

I have lived in the Phillipenes for a few years and YEARN to return, I have made many trips there since leaving. Watching your videos makes me soooo home sick, My wife is Filipina and my daughter half, I plan on retiring there when the time comes. I almost hate to watch your videos because they make me so miss being there, so much. I might even move to Siargao when I do eventually move there even though my wifes family is from Cebu... Great job guys keep up the good work!!!
And, to that, we say: "Welcome HOME!!!" 😆🇵🇭😆
THANKS TO SIR J, SHACHA & STOREY, FROM THE PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES FOR YOUR VERY LOVELY AND POSITIVE TESTIMONY....!
I believed everything is for a reason, and you ended up in paradise with the friendliest people in the world.take care 8 miles family.

I'm VERY HAPPY TO KNOW THAT YOU'RE STAYING IN MY PILIPINAS KUNG MAHAL AS YOUR SECOND HOME. WELCOME WITH OPEN ARMS!!!!!
I would intermittently watch your videos in the middle of a procedure like I was not in the theatre at all. Leaving my son and wife takes a toll on my focus and envy seeing you guys close to each other day in day out. But watching your videos does entertain me and patches those tiny holes in my heart. I feel a little less lonely now. Rooting for Story and your daily stories each day... a Filipino from Riyadh
Cheers to the 1st 90-days of lock-down vlogging...and to the next 90 months and more!!! :)
Seeing you guys happy in the Philippines as a native filipino here i felt happy. It is more fun in the Philippines 🇵🇭

Your Covid adventure in Siargao is heartwrming, they way you interacted with the Filpino people is a good model for all of us in this world.Story is a beautiful reflection of your good parenting.

wow so weride those 2 people
Welcome to the Philippines💯❤...... youre so awesome FAMILY ,specially STORY💖💞💘💟👏👏👏
and Salamat for loving our Country with happy and loving people of the 🇵🇭 Philippines. 😘😘😘
All good things must come to an end. End of 90 days. End of stay in Portugal, end of stay in Santa Fe....All STORY HAS AN ENDING. The COVID Story is a ongoing...so sit tight. Nice summation of your Story.
I am so glad you have found a wonderful place for your family. I have been following your vlogs this year. And it has become part of my morning routine. I grew up in Metro Manila back in the 60's and know the culture well. Being hospitable and friendly to visitors is part of the DNA of the Filipino people. I sometimes wonder why this is so? I came up with my own theory...I think people are so hospitable because they realize that you came from so far away that the least thing we could do is to be nice and show you a good time. Give yourself credit for being nice people as well. You make it easy for us to be nice to you.
I am glad that you decided to stay in Siargao, but there are more to see outside of the island. When things come to normal and tourism opens, I hope you consider adventuring within the Philippines before anywhere else. You showed how much you love and accept the good and the bad about the Philippines, and that is why the Philippines love you, too. Thank you and take care.
Very blessed family staying in the Philippines. I just discover your vlog today and watch a couple of your videos including Baguio City where I studied in college. Enjoy Philippine Islands. Garry from California.
Been there those islands 3 yrs ago, you're lucky to have the beautiful place during the pandemic.
We are thankful that you find Siargao, Philippines as your 2nd home. You deserved more subscribers, meaningful content. Your family is so much inspiration. God bless your family and we love Story being so adorable being an island girl.
thank you for loving our country philippines🤝🤝🤝❤
Remember, even if cases of the virus go up, the odds of hospitalizations or death is low. My mother is 90,had it, little cough for a couple days,fever. Got over it quick.
It so much fun following you guys, and how delightful to watch Story growing so lovely and enjoying your island life. You're such fine people. ❤❤❤
Fin Snow from Iceland love Philippines because of Filipino hospitality. He is living in Cebu.
I really hope Story will grow up to be a happy and strong child coz that's very important when she becomes an adult.
God bless your family. Thank you very much for loving our country, and for that, my family and I send our love to you guys. Have fun, stay safe and hope to see you guys around.
Thanks for loving the Philippines.... You are now a British Family with a Filipino heart.... More power and God Bless.....

The first video I have watched was when you went around the area after typhoon Odette struck Siargao. I was so touched the way you have reacted. You were so genuinely concern about the people there. I see how kind you are. I wish for your safety and all the people who have been affected not only in Siargao but other places where Odette had the landfall. God bless your family. Thank you for loving the Philippines.
