A Manileño and A Bisaya Meet | Filipino | Rec•Create 

Let's just put it this way: Not all Manileños think like Colin and not all Bisaya think like Rick

I can see how level headed and sensible the long haired guy is. The kind that I would learn a lot from.

To everyone who found this video on Tiktok and everyone new to the channel. Please watch the video in its entirety. This is not a debate video. These are two people who talk about their differences and come to a better understanding about each other and their cultures. If after watching you still feel that your ethnicity is better than the other, we suggest you rewatch from 15:40 - 16:38 and listen to what they took away from this experience. Don't just take each segment on its own, rather we suggest digest the video as a whole. Enjoy! ✌

I just know they won't be friends in real life.

I'm Bisaya who also grew up in Quezon City and BITCH we don't hate Du30 because he's Bisaya. It's for multitudes of other reasons...

I grew up in an Ilonggo family, raised in Manila (Makati, specifically). When I lived there, a few Tagalogs looked down at me especially when they found out I'm from Visayas. A classmate once said "bat ganyan itsura mo para kang taga probinsya?" And it was in a Catholic school. But nevertheless, the best people I met are still Tagalogs. When we moved to Mindanao later, I found out that Bisaya speaking people are also lowkey hostile to us from Luzon (I was seen as a Tagalog there). I understood Bisaya easily because it's related to Ilonggo, then some thought I just pretended that I don't speak Bisaya. Some would also automatically judge me as the judgmental one just because I am from Luzon and would make me feel inferior. I also noticed that they were eager to learn foreign languages and would make excuses in using Filipino. Sigh. Those were the days. In this video, I am kind of annoyed with the Bisaya guy because he's kinda pa-victim and you can feel his defenses up just because he's talking to a Tagalog.

I think Rick was lowkey generalizing whole Luzon as Metro Manila

if he thinks duterte being bisaya is primarily why people hate him, where has he been the last three years...........

Ang daming prejudices ni Rick and he likes to generalize. I like that the Colin guy said "in my opinion" twice and said "I can'tspeak for my kapwa Manileños". I hope the Rick guy took cues from that. You can see who has the higher EQ between the 2 towards the end.

"I would very much like to be excluded from this narrative." -Me, someone who lives in Mindanao

My gosh, I'm bisaya and felt safe under martial law but I wouldn't be blinded by the fact that abuse of military power happens in OTHER areas that's why I'm against it.

I’m Bisaya - born and raised in Leyte. When I was 21, I moved to Luzon for work (I’m 29 now). During my first few months here, I had a hard time speaking the language because Tagalog was rarely used in normal convos back home. Though we were taught Tagalog formally in school from elementary up to college, we never used the language in informal settings because of the notion that speaking Tagalog is like being “pa-sosyal” and that the language is very “pang-mayaman”. This notion is actually very common in rural or far-flung areas. Hence, when I moved here, speaking Tagalog proved extremely difficult. My workmates understood the predicament so they allowed me to speak in English because they thought I was better in English than Tagalog when I really wasn’t, lol. Anyway, based on experience with living and working in both Tagalog and Bisaya regions, I think that Tagalog people are very open about their thoughts and feelings (they usually speak out when in a group); while Bisaya people are extremely polite (rarely expressed thoughts because for the fear of being judged or rejected). I think I noticed this difference when we conducted trainings with two batches of participants, the first batch came from Luzon, the second batch from Visayas and Mindanao. Luzon trainees were very open about their thoughts and ideas but rarely worked in teams or in groups (lack of unity), and the competition between each trainee was very prominent; meanwhile, our Bisaya trainees were too polite, to the point wherein they rarely talked about their feelings and thoughts and just wanted to go along with everything even though they didn’t agree to it (passive) - though unity was very obvious among Bisaya trainees. In conclusion (charot, haha) I just want to say that I think we need to be open and understanding about where people are coming from because we live in different realities - and most importantly, being Tagalog or Bisaya doesn’t really dictate a person’s characteristic. Bow.

Di ko matapos yung episode, di ko matake talaga si Rick, sorry, Colin is more open, trying to understand, Rick is just on the attack, like one note, aggressive and privileged yung tone and expressions.

You can really see how detached and privileged that guy Rick is

Im kinda annoyed by rick. Im bisaya too but i remembered this one manilenya who asked us, she was part of pur seminar.. "may buildings ba sa Mindanao like malls? Or cagayan de oro? "May taxi ba in cagayan de oro or padyak lang din?" "May subdivisions ba kayo dun? we answered her questions thoughtfully but we were quite offended. when that person told us "masarap yung kangkong i swear health food sya mga sis" my friend told her "yung kangkong meron din sis pero sa baboy namin pinapakain" and that manilenya stopped asking the offensive questions after that. In fine point, id depends who you're speaking with. Not all those from manila are elitist, not all from the bisaya regions are dumb 😅

Rick is in a argument position while Colin is trying to understand.

Ang antagonizing ni Rick. Parang ang dating is nabigyan siya ng opportunity to express his "anger" and he just dived right into it. I commend Colin for being level headed. That or he just didn''t care what Rick thinks. Haha!

Si Rick parang nag vi-vent out sa frustrations nya about the "stigma", yet he is right about the accent thing that if we speak tagalog we are being judged by our accents and/or we sounded "funny" for them. As for Colin, i salute him for being very understandable and reading between the lines. Thanks Recreate for this convo. 🙂

As a Manileña who moved to Mindanao, I've also witnessed Rick's attitude and tone from a friend, I guess, because they feel attacked by the system? Rick's tone/aggression sounds like it's coming from being defensive. He has experiences from the past that made him react this way and that's understandable, but he sounds victimized that Colin is almost being pushed to being the perpetrator for Rick, which obviously, he's not. This conversation could have been approached with much more openness from Rick, I feel. Edit:I was also on the receiving end of such attitude. Every time I talked to that friend, he almost always made the conversation into a debate. It was always appropriate to insert that Bea Alonzo meme, "Pero ba''t parang kasalanan ko?"

people aren't against duterte bc of him being bisaya, has nothing to do with it smh

Daming hate comments about Rick. 1.) Yes, Rick here doesn't represent the entire bisaya community and if ALL OF THE BASHERS in the comment section PAID ATTENTION, inuulit-ulit niyang sinabi na "not representing the entire bisaya" 2.) I believe when Rick said, "we enjoy martial law" he didn't miss to say the line "we feel safer" which is the point of martial law in Mindanao 3.) I could relate to Rick and how he's struggling to survive communicating and exceling in Manila. To the point na kailangan kang pagtawanan sa accent mo and feel ng iba na just because bisaya doesn't mean di ka marunong mag tagalog nor pronounce/say the correct english word/sentence. Again, this is PERSPECTIVE. I have friends in Manila who are really open minded and doesn't care kung saan and anong lahi mo. The issue why we have "imperial manila" and "bisaya being inferior" is because we think it as is, and we don't want to erradicate it from our minds. PERIODT

sorry, the protest and probably the hate wasn’t about the pres as a bisaya but his actions towards our country and countrymen. im a bisaya and kinda annoyed how he represented bisaya tho 🥴

Hi guys! For our new viewers, a few things about our videos and casting process: 1) This format is made so that it's the participant's own views and beliefs are tackled. We don't insert our own narratives; we just let the two people talk. 2) In terms of casting, we just ask general questions in our forms. If we get too specific, their answers will influence our decisions and our personal biases may show. 3) The presence of the word "A" means that it is a singular person who falls under that specific signifier (A Manileño, A Bisaya, A Catholic, etc.). It doesn't mean they represent everyone else who identifies as such. It's just one person's opinion. 4) It's impossible to have a person represent every single one of us. We're all different people with different experiences and different opinions. While some of the participants' views may not resonate with you, they may resonate with some other people. All this video asks you to do is listen, just as the people in the video try to do with each other. :) So basically whatever happens on set, just happens. We don't manipulate this show (and all of our other shows) to fit a certain narrative. We simply show you what happens.

I love how chill Colin was. Meanwhile, Rick sounded like a kontrabida. Kase naman, people from Maniluh... Char!

Colin is someone you'd want to talk to when you need a friend who understands. ❤

This is interesting. Just wanna commend Colin for being chill

I suggest a Bisaya Manileño (preferably someone who grew up in Vis/Min and moved to MM for school/work) and a Bisaya who has never lived in MM for a long time. It would be interesting and would help quash some of the misconceptions and stereotypes on Bisaya people.

He’s the only Bisaya I know with a valley girl accent

It's so privileged of Rick to assume that people from Mindanao feel safer lol. Why are the Lumads in UP Diliman, then? Also, this is the first time I've heard that people from Manila dislikes the president just because he's Bisaya, like wtf?!? Miriam is not from Manila yet people loved her??? Maybe something's wrong with your president, I guess?

Why is he projecting his insecurities to Manileños, though? We don't protest against the president kasi Bisaya sya, we protest kasi hindi namin gusto ginagawa nya.

I'm a proud Bisaya, but not all Bisaya people likes our president. There's really some parts that I hate about the Duterte administration.

So proud of Colin! He was my student before in UP! I appreciate that he was able to hold that conversation with a DDS! It will be difficult for me to do that and pull it off tho! Good job, Colin! 😊

Rick is a friend from way back- that I dont like at all HAHAHA Edits: konting humility naman, Rick. Nakakahiya.

I love how Colin handled this! He is really open to understand Reek. While Reek is always in a defensive position to answer the questions..kala mo jinujudge siya... di naman e.

AT HINDI PO NIREREPRESENT NG MANILA ANG MGA TAGALOG. ANOTHER MISCONCEPTION.

Akala ko I will hear 2 open-minded filipinos that will come to a conclusion that they are not different but they are actually one in spirit and heart, but ang nakita ko is a one-sided anger towards the other. I hope for a better representation of the two to reach a common-ground in such kind of conversation :))

I wish they could've chosen a better representative for us bisayas. This guy is a big yikes. Galing ni Colin chill lang siya the whole time hahhaa

I think the prejudice goes both ways. I'm Tagalog, but I admire Bisayas cos most of them are trilingual from a young age (while I have yet to learn Bisaya), they enjoy better cultural and environmental diversity, they are confident and "palaban" - probably cos they feel they need to try harder to get recognized? I respect that. But don't think all of us Tagalogs think you are a second-class citizen. Personally speaking, I didn't even think that there was an "issue" about which area of the Philippines you came from and what your native language is, until I read comments on social media about "Tagalogs vs Bisayas." Prejudice leads to further division as a nation. Like Colin said, "we are just people. We all want the same thing." 🙂✌

Tried to finish the video without going through the comment section. I was relieved to see how other people outside NCR reacted on this video. I thought it was just me but Rick looks like he came to fight meanwhile, Collin on the other hand was so understanding. Kami nga dito sa Palawan oftenly mistaken as a part of Visayas wherein fact we're from Luzon originally. 😂

"so why the hell do you have to speak for us?" Ironic that you were able to generalize in behalf of all the mindanaons thinking all of us are in favor of martial law and/or the administration. this is coming from a fellow mindanaoan like you.

Can I just say, Colin is very respectful and nice!! I am Bisaya and I'm grateful that Rick represented us in here. Let's just stop the discrimination, the comparison, no one is inferior or superior, we're all Filipinos, with accent or not, with another dialect or without. It's just the province/ethnicity that's different, we're all from the same country. Magkababayan pa rin tayo ^^

I am a Bisaya, and personally, while there is a truth in the way that we are being stereotyped, I really don't give a fuck because I am confident and I think of myself and everyone as equal. The only reason why somebody would be affected by the stereotypes that much is because they accept those stereotypes as true. That's why they feel attacked/offended all the time. Of course, it's a different story when somebody really intends to insult you, but this could come from anyone, not just people from Manila. I am proud to be Bisaya but when I try to connect with other people, I don't bring that with me. We're both humans who can understand and relate to each other. That's all that matters to me.

KAIBIGAN KO YAN SI COLIN 🥺🥺 LETS GO BROOO, LAB U 🤘

Lol the Bisaya person thought he did something. Oh wait he did. He made us all cringe -,-

Why the negative comments? My God! I'm from Tondo, Manila but I understand where Rick is coming from. It's happening! I had a point in my life where I also stereotyped a person mainly because of his accent and where he came from. But when I studied abroad I met a lot of people from Visayas and it changed on how I look at them. I understood where they were coming from. And at the end, Rick realized they are also streotyping Manilenos. I see myself on Colin back then when I first meet my friends from Visayas. He is listening to his rants and trying to understand where he is coming from because he knows most of it were true. That's why he said "I feel for you. I'm sorry you had to go through these kinds of experiences". Both of them now understood each other, learned from each other and then change for the better.

Rick has so much internalized stereotyping about himself being a "Bisaya." He obviously needs to attend an educational discussion about protest and activism. You're giving the Bisaya people a bad rap. Rec•create, you could've done a better casting for this video. The exchanges here totally missed the mark.

That bisaya guy low-key sounded racist ngl.

never akong nakarinig ng tagalog let alone taga-Luzon na nagsabing kaya ayaw si Duterte ay dahil Bisaya siya. Ikaw lang nag-iisip niyan Rick.

I hate how Rick said people in Mindanao enjoy Martial Law. It reeks how privileged he his. Mars, tutal nasa Mindanao ka na, kumausap ka naman ng tao from Lumad community nang malaman mo kung paano sila tine-terrorize.

Im a Bisaya and and Ive known a few Manileños and I shit you not, they are the most humble, genuine people I know. It doesn't really matter where you came from, if you're a good person, then you're a good person wherever you go.

Rick: "why do you (manilenos) speak for us??" Also Rick: "people in Mindanao enjoy Martial Law"

"I really do wanna talk about politics but I hate how a lot of Tagalogs or people from Manila do not put their trust on our president.... because he's bisaya" Seriously?

This is the most pretentious thing I ever seen - a shame from someone claiming to be "from malaybalay." Don't generalize sweetie. You're giving bukidnon people a bad name.

Rick is like one of my classmates 😂 I swear di mawawala yung ganitong type ng tao sa isang classroom

They should’ve chosen a better representative of the Bisaya people. I’m Bisaya and I do not like our president. I understand where he is coming from but man that was just a poor representation of our people.

pls people wag natin gawing parang nasa fb tong comment section, learn from each other's opinions tayo. sa fb kasi puro ad hominem lol.

Di ko talaga maintindihan galit ng mga bisaya sa mga Manileños. Galit sila sa Manilenyos pero kung mag generalize sila lahat ng Tagalog nadadamay. So sad na ganun tingin nyo samin. Let us not forget that eveyone in Manila is not from Manila. Kahit san ka pumunta sa Maynila may Chinese, may mga bisaya, may mga Tagalog, may taga Norte etc at hindi porke Luzon Manila na agad. May Batanggas, may Cavite, Ilocos, Baguio, Pampanga, Tagaytay, Rizal et.al. They all speak their regional dialects.Sawa nakong sinasabihan akong mapagmataas, like ano ba dapat ipagmayabang ko? Eh Pilipino naman tayong lahat. Stop nyo na mga hate nyo kasi di tayo uunlad dyan. Mag-intindihan tayo. Kung ayaw magsalita ng Tagalog then speak English, nothing's wrong with that.

I as an ilonggo living in manila, i, never felt manilenos having superiority complex against non manilenos. Parang innate ata sa iilang bisaya yung inferiority complex, so dont blame them for your own racist thoughts.

Some points from this vid hehe: 1) Language discrimination: The thing is, Filipinos are very racist lalo na sa sarili natin. I get where Rick is coming from kasi ever since, may discrimination naman na talaga sa mga Bisaya. Pero, within the Tagalog community, may discrimination din dahil sa social status. Kunwari, kung conyo ka, automatic na mayaman ang tingin sayo. Kung hindi naman ganon ka-fluent sa English, ang baba ng tingin sayo. At tulad na rin ng sabi ni Rick, kahit sa Bisaya community ay may ganitong klase ng discrimination if galing ka sa bundok. Natanim na kasi sa utak natin na ang halaga mo sa bansang ito ay nakadepende sa kulay ng balat at pananalita. Isa pa, maraming Pilipino ang hindi aware rito ngunit hindi po dialect ang tawag sa Bisaya/Ilocano/Cebuano etc. Language po sila :) So many Filipinos like Rick are actually multilingual. Galing di ba? Kaya tigilan na natin ang discrimination against other Filipino languages. Actually, tigilan na natin ang pagiging racist lalo na sa mga IPs. Di natin ikakaganda yan. 2) Mindanao Martial Law Sorry pareng Rick, but I beg to disagree with your statement. If you would talk to IPs, particularly our Lumad brothers and sisters, you would know what kind of hell they are experiencing under the Martial Law. Just because you have a good experience doesn't mean that bad things aren't happening. You can't speak for everyone living in Mindanao unless talagang nakausap mo ang bawat taong nakatira sa bawat sulok nito. Maaaring hindi ikaw o ang pamilya't mga kakilala mo ang nakakaranas ng paghihirap ng Martial Law pero you can't deny that there are Filipinos suffering. 3) Duterte Again, I would have to disagree with your statement. Duterte is being criticized because he is incomptent. Periodt. Not once did anyone mention him being a Bisaya or being from Davao kaya palpak ang pamamalakad niya. We could care less kung sang lupalop man siya nagmula. Bottomline is, he is not fit to be a leader. Parang si Marcos, Ilocano siya. Hindi kami galit sa kanya dahil Ilocano siya. Galit kami kay Marcos dahil magnanakaw at mamamatay tao siya. Duterte being from Mindanao was never an issue. Maraming inosenteng tao ang namatay dahil sa kanya. Maraming bata ang nawalan ng magulang dahil sa kanya. Maraming bata rin ang namatay nang dahil sa kanya. Bukod pa jan ay ang harap-harapan niyang pagtaksil sa bansa para mapagsilbihan ang Tsina. Just to add lang pala hehe: Let's not send unecessary hate on Rick. It's his opinion. Wala namang pinanganak sa atin na totally aware na sa lahat ng nangyayari sa paligid. We all learn along the way. The most important thing is to educate and to exchange ideas in the most respectful way. Ilahad natin ang ating mga saloobin nang may respeto para mas maintidihan ng nakakararami kung bakit hindi tayo sumasangayon sa katwiran nila :) yung lang hehe #MarcosNotAHero #NoToABSCBNShutDown #OustDuterte

Rick is that guy you don't wanna talk to for too long.

Idk but I can feel rick's hatred in this video lol.

Its just annoy me a bit how most bisaya ironically pronounce "bisaya" like how Manileños pronounce it whenever they speak in Filipino or English.

I love how the comment section is so against kuya rick. Proves his point na you guys feel a sense of superiority.

Im not from manila, but I see manila imperialism attitude as a social and cultural tendency of every place on earth because of political setup having ncr as the seat of govt. It should not be on the burden of the manileño but of the historical and political build of our country

Wow I like the guy from Manila. Chill lang! Rick uy kalma kalma pod dihang dapita woooay

I don't care if this channel is inspired by or copied Cut, Jubilee, or any similar YT channels. I am just happy that there is a Filipino version of those! :)

oh. excuse me lang ha pero as far as i am concerned mas discriminative ang mga tiga provinces. di ka pa kilala inaasume na nila na mayabang ka na porket galing manila. dont believe? punta ka sa kahit anong travel blogs. people from the provinces are quick to trash manila. "oh punta ka dito mas maganda dito panget dyan sa manila"

i felt attack after "why the hell do you have to speak for us?" am like martial law as history became an example hasn't bear any good for the country. We speak because we care we do not want tyranny to continue its not your descretion to say why we speak for you. like huy! pinoy ka?

I think both parties made me learn something today. I am from Antipolo and I haven't met neither from manila or a bisaya. I still learn that both parties represent their own thoughts without generalizing their own people. They both made a great point and I don't understand why everyone hated Rick when both he and Colin had the smartest conversation from all the meet up.

why take in that Bisaya though. he doesnt even speak for all of us lololololololololololol dapat kumuha kayo ng Bisayang hindi blinded by their privilege. Dami niyang sinasabi di naman nagmemake sense.

uNA SA LAHAT AYAW NG MGA TAO KAY DUTERTE DAHIL SA MGA PINAGGAGAWA NIYA AT HINDE DAHIL SA PAGKABISAYA NIYA PLEASE

The stark difference! Colin is obviously more open minded. Rick, a self-proclaimed Bisaya, did not even speak a single Bisaya word. Pretencious to some extent, fitting into the mold, yet whining abou the stereotype.

"You're just a person" -Colin 👏

reasons for hating du30 aren't even related to him being bisaya lmaooooo it's his actions !!

Realtalk Isa akong seaman kaya madami akong nakakasalamuha mapa tagalog, cebuano, ilocano, bicolano, illonggo, pero alam nyo ba kung sino sa kanila ang pinaka ma pride at pinaka tikalon? Yan yung nasa cebu at iloilo, gusto nila palagi sila yung bida kaya yung mga tagalog dun sa barko nakikisabay lng hindi ko nilalahat ang bisaya ha pero yun yung napansin ko sa ilan years ko na pagbabarko, at normally yung pasimuno ng kaguluhan dun sa barko nmin ay mga cebuano kasi ayaw nilang nalalapawan sila ng mga taga luzon, btw I'm from masbate at yung salita nmin ay merong bisaya, bicolano, at mayhalong tagalog din kaya neutral kmi pagdating sa ganyang mga usapan at wala kming kinakampihan

Gusto kong i-enjoy yung diskusyon pero ang pangit kasi pag nilalagyan ng galit yung usapan.

For me, hindi naman siya kaso ng mga manileños rallying against an issue that they are not really involved in. It's about other people standing up and supporting the plight of the unheard. Di naman siya kaso ng pinanggalingan.

I know Rick kase schoolmate ko siya since highschool and in college same department kami (BS Nursing). 2 years agwat namin, una ako sa kanya. Kasama ko 'to sa mga extra curricular activities like cheerdance, etc. at sa pagiging student government. Base sa video na napanuod ko, may iba-iba tayong pananaw. I understand naman kung ano ang pananaw ni Rick based on their topics. But for me, there were some parts na disagree ako sa sinabi niya (Rick), but I understand and respect. Sa mga bashers naman, please try to understand naman. Sa mga nagsasabi na his "attacking",etc,etc. Pero sa mga di kilala kay Rick ganyan na talaga yan, the way he talks, the gestures. I don't know baka dahil sa pagiging part ng debate team sa amin. But his good and very friendly talaga.. Dito sa amin, hindi siya magiging Rick kung hindi sa kanyang galaw, palaban, angas, at ano pa. Pero mabait yan! iba -iba lang tayo ng pananaw sa una. God bless.. ☺💕

visayan guy kind of lacks an objective view and seems like will not accept the manileños

Rick reeks of insecurity. Just putting it out there.

Why do I find this interview hypocritical? This bisaya guy is fighting against people from Manila who are discriminating the visayan people. But if you listen very carefully, it is him who has more hatred and discrimination in his words. He always puts manilenyos down while bringing himself up. While the guy from Manila is always apologetic. People are smarter now. Playing the victim doesn't always get people's sympathy. And the stereotype that Manilenyos look down on visayan people doesn't apply to the majority anymore because most people from Manila already think of visayans as fellow manilenyos. That Rick guy is very antagonistic and shallow minded. And I don't know if his fellow visayans agree with his ideology,

"people in maniluh" kapikon

I never had insecurities being a bisaya while I was in Manila. I got an HR position in an international airline company based in Makati. Yes my friends often laughed on my accent when I speak Tagalog but "English-wise", I think I was way much better than them. Now, Im in North America. One of my co-workers fro Manila told me that we are so lucky because we can speak and understand both Tagalog and Bisaya languages. Filipinos here respect each other no matter where we came from.

As a person na naka reside sa masbate kung saan merong nagsasalita ng bisaya, waray,hiligaynon, bicolano at tagalog, wala kming problima kung gumagamit mn ang isa sa amin ng bisaya na lenguahe or waray o bicolano pa yan, at kung sakaling hindi mn kmi magkakaintindihan ay dun plang kmi nag tatagalog pero ni minsan hindi nmin inisip na mas superior o inferior ang isa sa amin, in fact mas open kmi na pag aralan ang lenguahe ng bawat isa at dinadaan nlang sa tawa kung hindi mn magka intindihan.

Ugh! Im a Bisaya and I have a lot of friends from Manila and me being a Bisaya was never an issue. I just wish you guys would invite another Bisaya. Someone who is more open minded.

9:24 Colin’s face 😂 I get you, bro. I get you

everyone was putting their hate on Rick, because he sounds something like this and that.. But let us understand that not everyone in manila is like Collin. You should understand that this video has both sides. This is funny actually, I can relate to them both.

Them: Mindanao 🗣️ vs 🗣️ luzon Me: Visayas 🍿😎 🍻 Marami nga mga tagalog tourists at tagalog celebrities pumupunta nga sa Cebu for sinulog festival na puro bisaya doon🤨 But why do manileños thinks we bisaya's are living from the mountains, poor, lower class, dark skinned nor have tribes at matigas na pananalita sa pag bigkas ng tagalog with bisaya accent are a big deal......? Pare pareho naman tayo mga pilipino nagtatrabaho para sa pang araw² nating pangkabuhayan

i fell inlove with colin. he is someone you can talk with, and he will never judge you

"to not sound konyo, i have to translate bisaya to english to tagalog" konyo level over 9000

Is this "anak ni manileño vs. anak ni bisaya"

Medyo nagulat ako sa expression ni Rick lmao pero naiintindihan ko siya. Manileño ako pero mama ko bisaya, di talaga ko natuto magbisaya before pero nag babakasyon naman ako kaya may alam ako kaunti. It depends sa culture, family and place ng isang tao kung pano tlaga sila mag judge.. in a good way naman. Common questions or statements na maririnig mo sa mga manileño and bisaya.. Manileño: "Walang signal sa inyo? bundok? Walang mall? May accent ka, san province ka?" Bisaya: "Superior, mayaman, Tagalog toh di marunong mag bisaya, party goer" As manileño, sometimes I feel intimidated from some bisaya, yes SOME di ko po nilalahat, meron kasi tatawanan ka kasi di ka nag bibisaya kahit na ginawa mo naman best mo maintindihan sila, worst case ko niloko tas napagtripan 💔 at dahil sa stigma na-judge agad. Pero ok na ko guys madami pa rin naman ako friends haha. Sana ma-stop na and spread love guys. P.s This is soooo interesting ❤🤭

I see that most people here in the YT comments sections hate Rick. I agree with Rick as a Waray businessman in his 40's, I have met a lot of people from Luzon who has prejudice against us Bisaya people. The Tagalogs are know-it-all and they think that we should listen to them and not them listening to us. They think Manila represent the entire Philippines, or think that every Filipinos act like they're in Manila. Another thing is that the term "province" or "probinsya" is actually an insult to us people living outside of Manila. Think of how those sinophobic protesters shouting "Probinsya na ang Pilipinas sa China," wouldn't that be an insult? The Tagalogs have done a lot of damages in my hometown of Tacloban. Many teachers from Manila who come here to work and teach do not extend an effort to learn Bisaya. In fact, a teacher got kicked out from my son's school for beating up a student because the student didn't speak Tagalog in the class, even though it was Science time and not Filipino. Still, it's not acceptable to abuse a student for any reason. To be honest, many Visayans are banking on Duterte. That is because Visayas and Mindanao have been left alone for so many decades. Neither of the two states didn't get major infrastructure projects. It is evident because only Luzon has railway systems despite Visayas and Mindanao providing 70% of economic and agricultural activity within the country. Also, I think Collin should get off his high horse and should speak more freely. The way he looks and speaks to Rick, it may look like that Collin is looking down on Rick.

I just recently discovered na merong ganitong bagay about the bisayas feeling inferior towards the people from manila. I never really had that concept in mind and I just made aware that it’s a thing until I heard it from people like Erik. Whenever I meet people in general, I never really thought of where they come from but rather if we will jive or not. I never belittle someone just because they come from other parts of the Philippines. When I realize naman that they are, I’m even excited pa nga to get to know them because I could know something interesting from their place eh. In hindsight, this video also reminds of the time when I strated travelling at the southern region of the Philippines. I feel like naman na some bisaya, during some of those travels, are not accomodating when they realized na we are tagalog kasi they think we are entitled of something.

Some comments here be like: "We don't enjoy Martial law here in Mindanao!" Me living in a barangay surrounded by mountains and rebels: martial law was the most beautiful thing that happened to us. At least during the Marawi Siege, I and the people in our barangay and the different sitios could sleep peacefully at night knowing that Martial Law was implemented. To each on our own ideas I guess.

I would like to talk with Colin for hours. He’s very smart and level-headed.

To Rick - just say you're a DDS then go.

Okay now this is going to be interesting HAHA

This guy representing the Bisaya people was a CHOICE.

I'm an Ilonggo by ancestry but I grew up in Manila. When I decided na magkolehiyo sa Iloilo, parang feeling ko na above nga ako sa mga Ilonggos. But I was dead wrong. Ilonggos are much fancier and classier than Manileños.. Opinion ko lang naman.. I learned from that and I am now inlove with Iloilo..
