"FILIPINOS ARE DIFFERENT!" What Koreans Can Learn from Filipinos (Korean Balikbayan) | EL's Planet 

I think the best thing that we must learn from Korean is love the own culture and because we filipino is known for our hospitality but it is not enough because some us also has colonial mentality

Maybe the government system but aside from that I wil not agree how they live that everything is under pressure and just a little time to enjoy themselves. That kind of life is so boring. Life is so short we must balance between earning money at the same time enjoying our life.

Their mindset of not being a slave to others. Building their own business locally instead of looking for work abroad.

One thing, I've noticed in kdramas, is knetz know how to separate their trash. Recyclable, Biodegrable, Degradable before throwing them. Hopefully, we can learn this.

i love their english accent. no korean tongue flair can be observed or heard. just very neutral.

Now living in Norway, what you are saying is so true.. Even with these strong welfare protection and high standard of living, the society is still lacking so much in terms of Quality of Life. Tho we have crimes in Philippines due mostly economic reasons, in general, Filipinos are just kind, loving and social, which are very important in Quality of Life. I always laugh at the Happiness Index where Scandinavian countries are on top, but the Happiness Index do not take into consideration the depression problem of these countries. The depression here is like an epidemic that somehow does not get much media attention. The Work Life Balance that they have here feels like more enforced than natural, although it helps a bit. But I can really feel how artificial things here in Norway, where people just get their "happiness" on material things. In Philippines tho, without that Metro Manila traffic, esp if you live near your work or you live in the province, we have a good Work Life Balance actually, esp we have many holidays or long weekends that many of us Filipinos joyfully embraced. We enjoy life just being with our friends and families. It is so simple and beautiful.

totally agree, though our Government sucks as always.

I'd say filipinos deserve more, we deserve better government. It seems like corruption never ends. But then, we're the one who are voting, and we're also part of that problem too.

As a Filipino who already has money, yes I prefer happiness the most. Cuz I'd rather prefer to live a relaxing and peaceful life

@@luciferhill9105 kaya stress ako ngayon.. under pressure..

or maybe because the government has failed it's people countless times over the years that they dont have the means to make money so they turn to happiness instead.

@@luciferhill9105 I totally agree! Enjoy youth guys or you will regret it later in life.

That's why we broke asf lol

Same! I love the joy of just being able to walk or bike to places. In the province, it’s quiet and beautiful. So, I just love to take things slow. 😊

Yes My entire family had to lecture that to me given that they were born in the Philippines. Note I had to be reminded all the time by my entire family that I was born in the United States and grew up with a different culture and it's the fast pace culture of having a career and a stable livelihood similar to the people in the video. But then again I had to go to college and work in the USA because of birthplace reasons.

I wish all parents are like you!

Agreed

their economic may have risen but the consequence and one of the biggest problem is they are now thr country with lowest birth rate,,, number 1! beatibg Japan

palagan mo wag kang papayag titigan mo hanggang sa magkadevelopan kayo! Koreana na yan men palag palag na

I agree with you 100%.Went to SK for vacay and experienced racial descrimination. Not friendly and lookdown on you because of your skin color.

that's true. In Korea they don't like Lisa of BlackPink because she's Thai and not Korean.

My Scandinavian husband read a book where one phrase states : In some countries, kindness is more important than rules. That is how my husband describes Philippines now. Sure we have crimes out of passion and poverty, but in general, Filipinos are very kind, in which in some extent can get misinterpreted by other nationalities as weak.

It's good to have a balance of the two. I think of Filipinos as a culture is very relax and not very driven in general. They have a similar mindset as Latin Americans and I think this is an influence of Spanish culture and thinking (enjoy today and tomorrow will take care of itself). The downside is that people don't really think much about the future, how to improve oneself, how to be ambitious, how to be better...people are just satisfied with what they have and it shows in their habits, homes, and communities.

@@MyDogRescuer _”weak”_ yeah I've seen such comments like that before 😒

I think its impossible to have both.

​@@creestee08 from what I've noticed you can have both for a short period of time. That is when the country is growing economically. but later on that growth, the cost of living will become high too, and that is where the pressure and worries comes in.

Up to the 70s, filipino children used to go to school by themselves, I used to walk 2 kilometers to school crossing streets, junctions and avoiding getting hit by vehicles from Grade 1 to 6. I never saw a mother dropping off or picking up their kids in elementary school. I noticed I started seeing mothers accompanying their kids in the early 80s and now it's almost like every kid are being accompanied to school as well as being picked up.

It is i think it depends on the circumstances and convenience. Students nowadays still take the public utility jeepneys and trike as means of transport but due to multiple means of transport like ours which will take 3 (trike, jeep, and another trike), we prefer to be drop off by our parents to lessen the fees.

Nah, it is more like we are still a developing nation; you can't just overhaul the whole system without thinking about how much money you need to spend and if people can afford it or not. The government knows it and has suggested it already, but they can't just expect all those bus operators to comply and change their doors overnight because they know that they also have a limited budget and that some of the routes they're taking still need the doors to be on the right side. Hence, the government is suggesting that the bus doors need to be on both sides. And putting the bus lane on the left side of the highway is the best thing because if they lock the right lane for buses, how can other cars enter the streets along the highway?

@ridetvnews Yes, the problem with coming up with new systems is if it'll actually work. You can always come up with better solutions, but somehow, when you try to start, newer problems arise. So, I think people need to understand that it will never come as easy as it is said. Maybe it'll take years for change to actually happen. But it's an improvement if we start it now. Also, people should be more disciplined and follow the rules for the systems to work.

👍

I agreed with you.

Okay what next to boast to ?

True. A lot of Koreans go to Philippines just to learn English. Only a small percentage goes to Europe or US mostly families with above average pay grade

Ano ba itsura mo? Maitim ka.

been to manila last night, just observed the same thing about the bus doors, especially old buses, but there are new buses that adopts to the system of the edsa bus route. im from the province by the way

so true!

Yan din observation ni LKY or i think ng anak nya. Pero look at SG? Same temperature pero ang sisipag nila at ang unlad. So asa system na maaus tlga yan.

@@darylp9306 Singapore is a small nation that may be explored in a single day. Due to Singapore's small size both geographically and in terms of population, it is simpler to regulate and keep an eye on. Given the size and population of Singapore, I assume it won't be too difficult to enact a particular law under its system.

​@@darylp9306 binibitay Ang corrupt dun

Parts of the United States have a fast pace of life. It's interesting given that I was born in the United States and and we tend to follow a fast pace of life with parts of Korea. My parents always reminded me where I was born in a different country since I was little given that my entire family is from the Philippines and went to school there for years. I was born in the USA and had to follow "American Culture" for years.

Possibly, but most of my students would talk about how hard life was like before after they took a break from the Korean war. They say it’s a result of how their ancestors dedicated their lives to make Korea rise from their lowest point.

Korean girl speaking English with a Filipino accent....😉

Not the whole Korea only the southern part
