The people, 5 months living in the Philippines was a wonderful experience, such energy, laughter, camaraderie, filipinos are the most beautiful people (inside and outside) I have ever met.

I've always wanted to visit the Philippines. The Filipino people I know here in America are always such awesome people

Ha ha! My Filipina wife scolded me for throwing away a toothpaste tube which I thought was empty. She used scissors for cutting it open to get more paste!

I've been to the Philippines 4 times...when visiting my wife's family, I always hugged her grandmother. I had to stand on my knees to hug her, and I think she got a kick out of me getting on my knees to hug her, but I think she really liked it because she would hug me back and hang on for an extra second or two. She passed away 3 years ago and I miss her alot. She was a tough lady that smoked her cigarettes with the lit end in her mouth.and would knock em back with the best of them.

After visiting the Philippines I will never ever complain about the traffic in the United States again

You never cease to amaze me as you present the Philippines from an entirely different angle than most do. Luv ya sweet Pea 😋

It's really fun to go back and watch your old videos. You have really changed over the years, pretty Miss Pea. Grown in sophistication and become much more physically fit now!

Surprisingly, I had little trouble finding people to fix things in the Philippines. I did a few projects there in the past. There is actually a lot of skilled labor available very inexpensively in the Manila area. Welders, plumbers, and such were not nearly so costly as in the U.S.

Loving living in the Philippines for almost five years enjoying your awesome videos 🤩

Thank you for being so funny but at the same time teaching us about the Philippines 👍😊

Love your videos and would love to see more like this one. Knowing the differences helps to not disrespect your culture. Looking forward to seeing your next one

I really enjoyed my time in the Philippines. Very friendly and tolerant people and great food. But at the end of the day I was back on base and back into the lifestyle I was use to. It almost reminds me of living where I do now. My neighbors are Amish but I can go back to my house and I’m back in my spoiled western lifestyle. 😁👍

You always bring a smile to my face Pea. Stay safe girl,

Another fantastic video! Thanks!

I'll be in the Philippines in June where my mother-in-law washes my clothes by hand all my food is home-cooked I'll be in a small town where you can find the friendliest people in the world

Since Philippines has been closed to tourists for so long now, I’ve forgotten many small things about life there. Things that I “miss”…I think 🤔 or maybe not.

As a new fan I'm catching up on all your hard work. Very sad watching the typhoon disaster. You were so kind and compassionate. Keep up with the good work. From sean in Ireland 🇮🇪 😀

This is an awesome video. Thank you for the great information. I look forward to the next one.

Wonderfully informative video! Merci!

I’m really enjoying your videos. Even though I’ve always had Filipino friends and my MIL’s bf was Filipino, I’m learning new stuff from you. Thanks, and be safe out there.

Queen Filipina Pea: Bravo, Bravo on this enlightening subject of culture in the Philippines. Some things I am accustomed to like elder respect, no public hugging and kissing. Also, not trying to be loud and obnoxious in public. I really love the cultural values of the Philippines which are very understandable. I believe it could be adopted in America and other western countries too. You are a great seminar instructor, leader of thought and example of what people in the Philippines represent positively. I thank you for that. Love the two (2) skits too. Now, time for sharing is caring. Many blessings in the Philippines.

First time comment here, Miss Pea...but I just wanted to compliment you on your always interesting and entertaining videos, with your fascinating insight and brilliant humor!

LOL, my friend, you are so creative, I love it! Thanks for sharing! Take care and God bless! Love you all! David

So much is different both in good ways and bad, driving or riding on Philippine streets is a nightmare the first time but you soon get use to the daily scares, it is an experience to live in the PH, and the Filipino people, are some of the very best you will ever meet, take care Pea and keep them coming, Salamat

Thank you so much for always giving us the great videos, with your great sense of humor. You really help me, to survive the time, when I can't go to my favourite place in thr world. The Philippines... Greetings from Germany

Good subject, Pea. And please do ten or twelve more to tell us all about these little things that are actually important. Oh, and by the way for some reason this particular video wouldn't rotate to horizontal. It would go full screen but not rotate even when I clicked on the rotate button. Keep up the great work!

Oh another great video ms Pea. I so look forward to Tuesday and Friday for your in depth classes on Philippine life, culture and love. I never realized just how thrifty a Filipina you are. PS you could have made soup with that fish carcass. LOL

I like how the beauty of the waterfall in the background compliments the beauty of your "cascade" of lovely hair! :) Interesting info also! It seems there are many pitfalls and opportunities to make big cultural mistakes! Thanks, Pea for your help in avoiding some of them!

After living 12 years in the Philippines, the biggest thing I have noticed , the laws and ediquette is the same as in most other countries, but people dont really care about them, the laws are not policed all that much so people just do their own thing and it works because the Filipino culture is very strong on respect and saving face, so having those two things in society it means no one is going to do anything too outrageous, the Filipino way is to do the right thing unless you have been disrespected. Foreigners think all Filipinos want to rip them off and take your money, but this is not true, its just they look at us as rich and 90% of the time we are, so they just feel we can afford to pay more and we can, most of the time. Its very practicle thinking and its the thinking that doesnt exist in western society, everyone is spoiled, they have too much and expect a lot and want more, Filipino logic is simple and structured, I love this way of thinking and to be homest if not for the corruption, then the Philippines would be a rich country, but I guess in my eyes it is a rich country and if wealth is measured by integrity and strength, then the Philippines is the richest country in the world.

Hey Pea, thank you for another fantastic video. And the beautiful background, as much as I want to go jump in that deeper pool by the waterfall, I would rather meet you for coffee and talk, joke around, and laugh. Please keep them coming Pea.

Another great video Pea. Congrats .. Some of d Filipino cultural practices are also practised in some Asean Countries .

Always funny and educational Pea, even after a dozen visits there, I always learn something new. I sit and smile (and sometimes cringe), as I remember some of my earlier mistakes haha. Oh well no harm done, you live and learn. Thanks for the education. Loving your new backgrounds, beautiful.

A year or so ago I was researching moving to SE Asia. I brought the subject up when dating here in the US. WOW that triggered women. Instantly racist and misogynistic against SE Asian women. Can't see too many western women moving to SE Asia. I did find one already living in the Philippines. She was looking to move back to the US...and was bi.

Good one Mz Pea .....I always learn something new from your videos !!

Thank you, Pea. This is the kind of stuff I LOVE to learn about other cultures! The little everyday little things that most people don't really think about when they do them because they've been doing them their whole lives. It's just habit for them. Like your mention of watching where you step. Country folks here do it to make sure they don't step in something a dog or cow left behind from their behinds (please excuse me for the pun), but city folk aren't used to doing that. I always have to watch my step because of my gout (started up when I was 25) and arthritis (started when I was 18). I don't want to step on something that might further hurt my feet, make me twist my ankle and take a tumble, or step in something that will have to be cleaned up later. I'm sorry to hear about the Filipino attitude about hugs. I love hugs and only get one every once in a great while. I'm also dismayed by kids in the Philippines not having very many toys. I was a poor kid, and I had only a few toys (probably why I used to go a little overboard for my students around Christmas time and buy them toys and candy to pass out during our classroom Christmas party. I taught in a school located in a low income area.) But I had a great imagination and played around outside a lot (until I discovered the joys of reading books). Can you believe we used to have a commercial here in America about parents who spent a lot of money on toys for their 2 year old daughter, and she ended up playing with the big box all the toys came in instead of the expensive toys? Lol. It seems imagination is the best "toy" a child can have. 🙂

sorry I'm late on viewing...sometimes life gets in the way LOL. Some interesting tidbits. Another reason why I think I'm going to feel more at home in the Philippines. Just some observations based on personal experience and life. Big thing you mentioned was the Philippine people don't seem to hug as much as a greeting. I have always been like that. I just flat out do NOT hug another woman who I am either not related to (and unfortunately none are left with us) or dating/attached. For me it's just a respect thing. And it's caused more than a few incidents in my life while living in the Southeast United States, where hugging is more accepted than handshakes. But I also know that it is also probably the reason I might be more physically affectionate in private with one I care deeply about. Some would call it "smothering", but at least my love has expressed that 24 hours filled with hugs and cuddles (and not necessarily leading to "other" activities) is something she VERY much welcomes!!! As for the toy price issue, my biggest thought on the price difference is maybe supply and demand. so few people in the PH can afford 7 USD for a "piece of plastic" as opposed to the USA/Europe, let alone 40 USD or more, that not at many of the item will be shipped there (despite the closer location). So fewer numbers of an item will push the price up even more. Here in the US, we are currently experiencing that issue with supply shortages and too much cash in the economy. Lastly, remember a lot of toys, even though made in China, are still considered USA/European products and are subject to both countries' trade agreements and laws. Hence another cause for inflated prices. There's my 2 cents (I mean pesos LOL) worth of thoughts for today. Looking forward to the house helper video. As always, good work and take care.

I guess everywhere has weird quirks, makes for interesting times! The Philippines have the advantage that they have girls like you lovely Pea! 😉🥰❤️

Yes, please, Pea. Do 10 more videos like this one. I found this highly informative and amusing at the same time. Come to think of it, that's like most of you videos! Thanks from Texas for all you do. 😊

Very good job my phillapino wife will be very pleased when I show to her .More please

A new vid from the Pea is always a treat and yes i learned long time ago already that it is always fun with filipinos

Thanks for the video Pea. It might be a little bit outside your genre, but maybe you should do a video on things you found shocking when you traveled to the West. I think that would be fun to see. Love peace and happiness to you and your family.

Yes I love that difference in meeting and greeting gestures no hand shaking but the children give you a blessing very nice . Excellent topic could hear more oh, some of these will be eye opening , 4 new visitors... More please

Great video. I would like to see more like this one.

As a guy who's been to the Philippines five times to go be with my GF who is now my fiance at this point I can confirm all of this is true LOL it was definitely a culture shock but I think the biggest cultural shot to me was the lack of toilet paper that one threw me off LOL. But I absolutely love the country and its people.

I really enjoyed this video. Every country has its own culture and even different areas in the same country may have a different. I’ve been to many countries in Asia. The trick is relax and enjoy the culture. Just because it’s different doesn’t make it wrong. You are correct I very seldom got the pat down entering a mall in Philippines but I did get the pat down entering the airport and it was by a female. Interesting and kind of nice. I surprised you didn’t boil the fish bones after you picked them clean and make soup. So wasteful Miss Pea. That soup would go well with tuba.

I love the culture, it helps the outside world to see just how simple life and the things in life are. Granted prices are much higher for luxuries than in the US, the point is you can eat, enjoy the outdoors, get what you need at the store in a very simple way. Behaviors are more conservative in that they aren’t flashy and wealthy types, they are there for each other in a heartbeat, neighbors will feed you, it’s the definition of a true community who doesn’t have a rich economy but rich in love and hospitality and great fullness

Thank you , that was interesting cultural education.

No matter how crappy the news is in the US, I can always count on you, Pea, to give me a laugh with videos like this one 😂

Hey everyone watching here

Love your new video great things to know about the amazing Philippines thanks Pea.

That is my favorite outro. It never gets old. Thanks, Pea!

Now that I moved here I am seeing so many things like this. I shake my head often lol. But I still smile.

😅🤣😂 what really got me the first time was the traffic wardens. The manner in which he was waving vehicles to move on. I was on the sidewalk waiting to cross the street. I thought he was calling me to come over. It was hilarious 😅🤣😂

Hey PEA! Havnt commented in a long while, but look forward to your videos every three days. Your presentations are so much more refined than when I go back and watch one from your first few months! Thank you for giving us content thats not always what you are eating every meal or all the restaurants in your village. STAY FRESH. Thats what makes you the best!!! I laughed so hard when you pulled the empty toothpaste tube out of the trash! You NAILED my wife's behavior on all three of those items. Now add the saving of every paper bag or plastic container that food comes in!!! - Joe in Michigan

Well done and informative, as usual ;)

Mall security was a shock, never seen so many guns 💥🔫 Great video Pea 🌴👍

Took me a while on this Video I wasn't sure what was more beautiful the view behind Pea or Pea her self then Just before the end I understood about true beauty The view and Pea are just as beautiful . Keep smiling Pea I love .............You're Videos.

Another great, and learning, video. Different cultures can be amusing if one doesn't get too frustrated.

Thanks for the pointers 👍.

Happy New Year my friend! One thing I found funny when I was there were the crosswalks. They have the painted pedestrian lines and signs, but you'll get your ass hit if you think driver's will stop for you like here in the west 🤣

Infotainment at its best 😂🤣❤.

This video was short but informative. You taught in five minutes what took me five years to learn and you even made it amusing.

I love your videos because they are fun AND informative...........Thank You!

I was laughing when you talked about the traffic in the Philippines. One of my long time FB Pinay friends is a traffic cop. We always joke about that. I tell her I am afraid to go to the Philippines because she might give me a ticket, she jokingly acts very strict, and tells me just not to do any violations. If we ever have a dispute she warns me that I am committing a violation, and instead of fighting, we always laugh. It sounds like the alcohol Filipino's sell on the street is only wine? We are allowed to make wine & beer in the West, with little regulations. All of the strict laws, are about "moonshine", which is "distilled" alcohol. Wine & beer are safe to make and drink, but distilled alcohol is very dangerous to make, and if made incorrectly, dangerous to drink.

Regarding security checks at malls, I have been told by security guards that they don’t check male westerners because we don’t carry weapons. I think it’s that simple….

You make learning about your country a pleasure

Wonderful and very interesting reporting as always Pea. Have so much respect for you.

The longer I spend in the Phili, the more I prefer the Philipino way. Lots of thing here in the west just doesn't make any sense. :-)

Good video and I like such information. IT makes for better tourist when they know such things. Please more such videos.

Another informative and entertaining video with a hilarious ending! Thank you, Pea!

Good stuff! Differences are fun! (usually!🤣) Take good care!

I’m visiting PH ina few weeks to see my wife and I cannot wait! Your videos are getting me pumped haha!

another great show...thanks

This is one of your best. You are truly entertaining.

Tip for my fellow travelers. When talking a walk play "Singing in the Rain".

Loved it we want more!

I've seen this video more than once...Hahahah Enjoyable much so. Good work.

Another great vid SweetPea but cultural difference's are like rain you have to let it roll off your back and could you tell captain Pea to leave my jib...alone.😟lol,I love the way you end your vids.You have me curious about your next vid,,,Hhmmmmm where will you go?I'll be watching for it and Happy Trails .🤟🌹

That was a great take on some of our differences,I was there for 15 months and know exactly what you mean,great video!

Thanks for the info 👍🏽

Thank you, very informative

Thank you pea ..I always like your informative videos.

Wow, Nice

Always very interesting and informative, Thank you Pea.

Wow.. super interesting pea 💗

Good video and very funny

Loved this one

Miss Sweet Pea - thank you for your wonderful video's. A lot of vloggers speak about how much money is needed to retire in the Philippines .. I would like to speak to a much greater issue that faces all of us .. Medical costs and care. I am 74 and fairly healthy, but my greatest fear is having a major problem and not being able to get proper care. It is, in fact, the primary reason my wife and I don't move there, even though she is a Filipina and we would love to. This is a dilemma that many retiree's face .. even though I can't afford to retire comfortably in the US, I can't in good conscious retire in the PI either. I would like to see a movement in the Philippines to rectify this situation because it would benefit everyone. For those of us wanting to live in the provinces .. a major medical problem is a killer .. and if the problem doesn't kill you, the money needed will.

Thanks Pea ! Very interesting and informative! Stay safe.....God bless...🙏❤

You're awesome. Articulate, smart, and spot on with your assessments. Thanks for sharing.

Great info Pea 👍

As always, a fun, humorous, and interesting peek at your home, Pea!

Please do the 10 videos! I really enjoyed this and it was very helpful!

Nice scenery on the back

I love it when you explain the rules of the Philippines! I tell my friends about my visits there and They don't believe me. Now coming from a Filipino's mouth, maybe they will believe but maybe it will be best if they visit your country and see for themselves. I can't wait until I can visit again and I am inviting my friends to come. It is an adventure...

My asawa is an asst. manager of a 7-11 here in Canada. In Davao, about a 5 minute walk from our condo, there is a 7-11. Of course, much of it is similar, but the one thing that surprised me was the fact you can buy beer and liquor there too. Can't wait to get back to the Pinas permanently. Love it there. It is more fun in Davao. ;)

Great job as always Pea 👍

Hi there! I enjoy your videos ; I watch them from time to time. Even though I am not planning to live there . I enjoy the info. I had purchased a Home in Antigua Guatemala , people are nice and humble like Filipinos.

Lol great video sweet Pea, keep them coming. I may never get back to the Philippines but you make live again in my heart.
