What do foreigners in the Philippines REALLY think of Filipino people (street interviews)
Foreigners in the Philippines talk to me about their thoughts on Filipino people.

I am a Brit and I live in the Philippines with my family, out in the boondocks, in Rizal Province. I've been here for 4 years. There's no foreigners in my locale so I pretty much stick out. I have a great life. I interact well with my neighbours, the storekeepers at the sari-sari store, the trike drivers and just people in general. I have the occasional beer with complete strangers, who then stop being strangers.

@@manuelpepito Actually, the Philippines chose me! I met my Filipina wife in HK and she 'persuaded' me to take early retirement in the Philippines. She did this by putting down a deposit on a house while on a trip home (to introduce the family to our baby son) so ultimately I had no choice. No regrets, though.
I went to the Philippines in 2018, second time in 2019 and last year, 2022. I love this country, and it doesn't matter to me if the country is rich looking like USA. The people made the difference to me. People here in USA are not so friendly, they are unhappy, rude, angry and not nice towards me. I'm ready to retire someday with my wife that I married from the Philippines, back to her country for sure, tired of the crappy US! The Philippines is awesome, my piece of Heaven on Earth :)

"Nicest" is comparative. It doesn't have to be absolute, only relative. In other words, compared to the rest of the world, Filipinos are nicer. Let's say we have 2 small balls. 1 has a diameter of 1 cm. The other has 2 cm. Absolutely, both balls are small but it's still correct to say that the 2nd ball is bigger than the 1st or the 2nd ball is the biggest between the 2.

Hopefully when they do their retirement plans they will also visit the province of Bukidbon because it is really a good place for settlement...
Thanks for appreciating the Filipino culture unlike the Indonesians who rudely insults Philippines
As a sort of advise for those foreigners who wants to stay in the Philippines, do not buy or stay in a condo in or apartment in a busy city as your permanent home. Buy a land in the province and build your home. There, you can save money, you can make a small farm and can enjoy the fresh air, fresh food and you are away from the hassle of the traffic from highly urbanized cities.

@@Livingabroadalex Foreigners/aliens cannot legally own real properties here in the Philippines, so this advice might be misleading. However, foreigners can legally own residences, that is, condominiums that allow foreign ownership. Aliens in the province who live and "own" land don't legally own it, they use the name of their trusted Filipino friends and/or 'adopted' family when they buy land--this is a practice more common than one would think. It requires a great deal of trust obviously, but seeing it's happening (I personally know two who trust millions worth of properties to their Filipino 'adopted' family) is still amazing to me.

16 million population in the entire Metro Manila alone and not including the adjacent provinces of Metro Manila, so there are a lot of cars, jeepneys, buses and all types of transportation. And if people from neighboring provinces go to Metro Manila and bring a car, the traffic will be severe. So the Government is working on ways to alleviate traffic in Metro Manila and even in the provinces adjacent to Metro Manila that are also experiencing traffic.
Thank you for sharing our country to world...😂❤
