FILIPINOS ARE CHATTY! 🇵🇭 

I just got back from Manila and I had no cash when I was at the airport. I went to a fast food place in the baggage checkin area only to find they didn’t take credit cards. A Filipina saw that I couldn’t buy a burger and insisted that she buy me a burger. What a nice country and wonderful people.

When it comes to Filipino conversation, there are no boundaries. They are always friendly with strangers or newcomers. They want a newcomer to feel at home. Very unique to Filipinos culture.

Man, please upload longer videos or multiple videos in a day. We love watching you interacting with locals.

As I was surfing the RU-vid Chanel on living in the Philippines, I came across your channel and I was impress on how you speak great things about the country. I have you to thank to make me realize how much I am missing since I left the country in the early 70’s. It is bitter sweet for me to depart the US for the Philippines to find my retirement home. Leaving behind my two adult children and grand children. I wish you great success on your RU-vid Channel and I will continue to follow you.

As a Filipino living in a foreign country, I can really feel how friendly, warm, and hospitable our culture is. Our country may not be as perfect or as wealthy as other countries, but I am immensely proud to be a Filipino for being so hospitable, warm, and resilient in the face of any challenges which we might encounter. I adore my native Philippines and its people. Mabuhay ang mga Pilipino at mabuhay ang Philippines!

The Philippines is the best place where you can be alone if you want and if you are alone, you will never feel lonely because we are the friendliest people in the planet. I assure you that. Have a good day Jonathan. 😍🙂😎

Lived a third of my life facing the sea. I know what you meant when you mentioned early mornings on the shoreline. The peace and tranquility really makes one smile.

I'm a sunrise person too. It is peaceful. And people are different during sunrise, they're more calm. It's nice to hear a "maayong buntag" during sunrise.

Have a good day Jonathan, we Filipinos are chatty just want to start and engage a conversation specially a tourist like you. Its just normal here a friendly people. If you have some problems dont hesitate to ask they are mostly willing to help. Enjoy your stay here and stay safe.

So good to see the Filipino's enjoying themselves again. Such friendly people.

Jonathan, your friendly smilies and approachable personality exude kind energy for Filipinos of all ages to embrace & welcome your company as one of their own. Filipinos are innately kind, friendly & hospitable people but you too, must recognize you brought out the good/best in them. Give yourself credit too.

Sure looks fun talking to everyone! Lots of pretty girls to chat with LOL. I love your style of cutting in the video to narrate what you are thinking.

Yeah man. We just like to be social and share our joy. Most of America doesn't wanna talk about having a good time that doesn't involve drugs or spending money, at least in my area haha. Lovely people there. Mindblowingly better people.

Your personality and demeanor fits well with your online vlogging journey in The Philippines. Thank you for promoting the other beauty of the country, Her people and the culture.

Dude, I hear you. I’m also a solo traveler for the same 😊reasons you mentioned. I’m going to three central Asian countries next week and I’m excited!

Been watching your vlogs, and I enjoy your island adventures! My father and Uncle, both are American Citizens retired back in the philippines. I have not seen my dad in 3 years because of the pandemic, and will see him in 3 weeks. Your vlogs is making me more excited. My dad lives in Pateros near the BGC area but we will also be visiting my uncle who owns a house in panglao overlooking the ocean. Keep making your vlogs. Thank you. btw I'm based in the south. My son moved to NOLA, because he's a musician and my daughter is a ship pipe fitter in Gulfport, so we moved to the South.... small world...Alabama is about 10 exits away from us.

You're becoming a Filipino now, so chatty! 😂🥰. safe travel ! 💪.

The Philippines is a place to socialize anytime and anywhere. Yes Jonathan I love the sunrise, cool wind and quite. Early morning sun is so beautiful too. Enjoy your holiday. Best to stay in Visayan area. Central to all Regions.

Thank you, Jonathan, for your down-to-earth and unassuming way of bringing our country and the smiles of our people miles away into our homes and closer to our hearts. “Ingat lang.”/Take good care, from California.

Jonathan you're cool interacting with locals. Some may be jokers but it's all fun in the Philippines.

Its a good sign that you are staying here for good. 😂 You are being chatty now too 😅 Enjoy Jonathan

Thanks again for the kind words about Filipinos :) Yeah, i think i said that too before about the pros of traveling alone. You will generally get noticed and approached more by the locals. Plus you yourself are more immersed in the situation and surroundings. But really, you exude a lot of positive vibes too with your ever present smile and charisma. So that's a big factor too. Plus you're very polite and such a gentleman. I think it's because you grew up in a small town (am i right?). Coz city folks in the US tend to be a bit cynical at times (like those 2 American vlogger cousins who i am really not liking, lol). About ease of communication, that's because English is an official language here, and PH is also the 4th or 5th largest English-speaking country in the world. I actually just watched an interview with an Aussie living here. He's lived in Thailand too for 2 yrs and said the language barrier there can get mentally tiring. And at his age, he said he's just not up to learning a new language anymore. And some people just don't have the knack for it. That's why he greatly appreciates that English here is widely spoken. Plus most everything (signs, documents, etc) is in English which makes life much easier for him. :) And oh, i prefer sunrise over sunsets too. I guess because it's so symbolic of new beginnings and leaving the mistakes of the past behind. 🌄

the people from the provinces are probably much more chatty based on your observation because they pretty much know each other in that area or they know if you are a local or not and so they are naturally interested to know what brings you to their place, while in metro Manila, people come from different places and people are so used to seeing foreigners coming to Manila, but also, people are cautious because you don't really know what type of people you are encountering in Manila, but people in Manila are generally nice, too, and i think you know that by now.

Wherever you are in the Philippines you will always have those people who will chat with you at any given time. Fact: Less toxic country with so much good vibes going on. And from all walks of life people here can speak English so keep rollin and keep safe Mabuhay

Luck Jonathan I’m addicted to watching your adventures I like to see more keep uploading them cause I enjoy everyone with my coffee and my doughnut

Hi Jonathan, what a great video of your interactions with the Filipino locals. With your popularity, you may get hired by a promotional company to promote the Philippines as a travel destination. Along with all of the beautiful landscape and beach areas it is always a highlight to see and hear your interactions with the local people. Congratulations on coming up on 55,000 subs.

Thats why i love to travel solo also...

Jonathan a low key vlogger love that attitude amazing😘

you can check Becoming Filipino channel he used to travel alone too here in the Philippines now he already settled in Cateel Davao Oriental, Mindanao, now he have a big circle of family like friends their.. bought a property and of course got a Beautiful Filipina girlfriend

I'm flying from Vancouver to Cebu tomorrow! Got the one way ticket yesterday and booked a hotel for 2 days only. The rest.... I'll see :) I love to be spontaneous and travel solo! Maybe I'll bump into you somewhere there! You have great videos. Cheers! Zeyn

That's so true Jonathan, when I was travelling alone, I always met so many people from all over the world. Totally different from when travelling with someone.

I enjoyed watching your channel. from San Diego California

Hi Jonathan, I really appreciate your presence in the Philippines and recognizing our country as your prospective place to stay. I hope you will continue to have an open mind while staying the country coz not all are always a bed of roses. It would be nice you keep in touch with other famous foreign vloggers now based in the Philippines like Kulas of Becoming Filipino and etc. Keep that positive vibe on you and Filipinos will love you more

We love you,Jonathan! Kindness begets kindness

The one wearing a polo shirt is a typical uncle in filipino family when theres a birthday celebration / family gatherings always making jokes and do funny things especially when they drunk hahahhhaha

That's true! Filipinos are so chatty 😆especially to foreigners

Hello friend, first of all congratulations for your publications. Fantastic indeed, they have been very useful for me, as I intend to travel from Portugal to spend a month in the Philippines. From what I see I think I'm going to like it a lot. Everything going well for you.

Enjoy your staying here.. welcome to the Philippines sir

Jonathan, love your vlogs. I’m ok with short or long vlogs - no preference. I think do longer ones if you have time.

Jonathan, if you ever notice Filipinos laugh around hysterically when you are talking to them, that is because they can't contain their giggle and just laugh at it because they find it funny speaking to a foreigner in English because they are not used to it. It's not like they are mocking or making fun of you, they just find it funny and please don't look at it as offensive. It's like our natural reaction to everything unusual is to laugh, and I bet you noticed that every time you talk to some locals. Really looking forward for you to finally find a place to settle in. I also have a suggestion, try to do Fiesta Hunting in Philippines. Not a lot of people is doing that, and the Philippines has fiestas in every city, through out the whole year. Sinulog in Cebu is coming near and I hope you experience it.

Like your vids! I'm amazed how friendly and polite you are. Have a safe trip and hope to see you soon. :)

Another Amazing video Jonthan, everywhere you go you attract people, the funny part in the video is when you meet those family or group people by the beach, you mention to that guy that Filipinos are the most hospitable people in the Word, but it was lost in translation. He thought you said he went to the hospital, hahaha that was the funny part about it.. Enjoy and have fun in the Philippines Jonathan..Philippines Joathan🇵🇭 ☺🏖 🏝 🌴 ♥.

OMG JONATHAN, YOU MET BUNCH OF FILIPINO FRIENDS AROUND . I AM INDEED, HAPPY FOR YOU EASILY MERGING IN PRACTICING A FILIPINO LANGUAGE AND A VERY WARM FRIENDLY COUNTRY .. THAT'S AWESOME. ENJOY TO THE FULLEST JONATHAN IN A SPEAKING ENGLISH COUNTRY, PHILIPPINES. I AM 100% YOU CAN'T BE WRONG WITH YOUR PLANS TO LIVE IN THE PHILIPPINES AS YOUR SECOND HOME. 🥳🥳😍😄🤩

@travelescapes Another short but sweet video, thanks again! 🤙

I'm so happy you're having a great time in my home country. One other thing that us Pinoys do is laugh and joke and we make lots of pun type jokes and play on words as well. We're funny. Lol. Happy trails cheers

You are right Sir, we love chatting and we really friendly, thanks for sharing this great videos.. more more great videos in the Philippines

It's true, it is good for solo travelers and you also never go thirsty there ;) even if you don't have any money hahaha some Filipino will always offer you some red horse or emperador ;)

Love your vlogs!🥰 Stay safe Jonathan!

True PILIPINO hopitality....is at the best...stay safe here in bohol..love this place so much..

thank you for appreciating us filipinos and the culture. it's more fun in the philippines.

I strongly agree 💯👍 It's much better to be alone than with companions when traveling. " ME TIME"😍❤️🥰

Not all foreiners are treated as such. Your aura and demeanor will dictate how local filipinos will approach and treat you. Rule of thumb is, be friendly and lighthearted.

the woman said that you are "Lonely Boy" that sad. you need someone to be at your side to share your hopes and dreams. but dont rush, the right person will come unexpectedly. if you find her better keep ker.

Filipino has full of hospitality to foreign,💝

The Filipinos' love language is eating, you will certainly be invited with "Kaon Ta!" or "Kain Tayo". It is most respectful to accept just a little bit even if you have eaten. We love it when our guest/s or strangers eat and we love them more if they eat more.

Welcome to the philippines..! Enjoy your day and have fun 😉👌🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

Hi kuya jonathan enjoy and stay fafe always interact to local

New subscriber here.. Love your videos bro.. Enjoy your stay and thank you for choosing the philippines! I hope you can collab with bret maverick and Kulas "becoming Filipino" they are staying in Cateel they are vloggers too.. God bless and stay safe bro 😊

Loving the sunrise is a morning person. You will see the sky turns red quietly, sometimes with birds chirping 🙂

I love how Filipinos are so welcoming & willing to chat & give helpful advice.🥰

Your vlogs are all entertaining..:-) Cannot help smiling while watching..keep it up Jonathan.

You made my day Jonathan thank you for these vidz

Stay safe..enjoy

Thank you so much

Sunrises!

That old guy is funny hahahaha. Filipinos hospitality is the best.

Lol! I met 2 travellers from NYC just today, I was chatting with them for an hour! Ha ha!

Thank you very much for this! There are a lot of places you can explore here in the Philippines😊

I think the hospital hospitable thing is they are joking with you hahaha.

That hospital joke is an internal joke bro... they exactly knew what you mean haha

It's very easy to make friends anywhere in Southeast Asia, but especially the Filipinos. They are very friendly people.

Halo fren.new subscribers from baguio City I injoy watching ur video hav fan

What’s very interesting is that because Philippines was aided my USA when overcoming Spanish Inquisition, a lot of Filipinos speak English. So that’s why there’s not that much a of a language barrier.

Hello ne here from Philippines

That was we do pilipino hospitality

G'day Jono. I always enjoy your videos. I've lived in Cebu City for almost six years now, and I'd love to travel around more but I work full-time here. Keep the videos coming, mate.

Great vid

I would recommend Iloilo city. ,it's western Visayas.. Lots of expats go to Cebu, Palawan or Siargao. Iloilo and Guimaras Island are very beautiful too. Filipinos are hospitable, friendly and humble but be very careful with scammers . Gigantes island in Iloilo is a must be visit for tourist.

arent we?!? yes we are! haha

I'm dead when old man say you go to hospital 😂😂

Were friendly and helpful..mostly in the provinces area...

You might come across some Filipinos hesitant to use their English and laugh that they’re getting a ‘nosebleed’ - while they’re struggling with their English. Love these videos. Thank you.

Keep safe!!

Lami or namit, Delicious bisaya

yes he is from SAN FRANCISCO, CAMOTES ISLAND

haha Maning Arbuyes on white shirt..he's really a joker in person.

Shout out is nice being solo, in Bohol so Beautiful balik balik ka sa Bohol..Jonathan remember Pilipino is very friendly..hahaha Jonathan they're very funny for hospitalizations 🏥 not in the hospital but abolaryo, that Mani is very funny.

One guy said, 'Welcome to your vlog?' 😁

Siargao is in Mindanao and I from Mindanao misamis oriental. I'll never been there ever since 😅 people can go anywhere if they have a budget to travel. Mostly foreigners can go anywhere they want because they have money to travel 😊

I love d philippines. Laidback happy
