After spending so much time in the hoods of Manila, it was time to get some fresh air. Just a few hours north of Manila is the former site of the Clark Air base. And just outside of Clark is a village home to the Aeta people, who are Melanesian or "black Filipinos".
I decided to visit with my new half-American acquaintance, Rose. I had no idea what to expect, which was good, because I ended up taking an entire village on a field trip across grasslands to a local theme park. And to think I just wanted to have a lazy Sunday afternoon..

Thanks for taking us on your adventures!

@nthlrose Год назад

For those who are "concerned" about me. Lol. I'm an introvert and I get uncooperative sometimes. I have my own life now and my everyday life doesn't revolve around the fact that "my father abandoned me". I may live in a third world country, but I think I am living a better life than some girls (in the US or not) with married parents/complete family growing up. I'm thankful for the gift of life that I have. 🤍 And my mother was not a hooker 🤭

@academicpursuits8960 Год назад

Nice response Rose! As a black man, who is a dad and lolo, I certainly would have been proud if you were my daughter. Stay proud of who you are and where you come from. I'm an introvert as well, and it's hard for people to sometimes understand folks like us, but that's not our problem.

@LucidDream Год назад

Understood, because I'm like that too. I genuinely hope your life gets even better than you ever imagined it could be. 💖

Your comment made me rethink how I perceive people, especially in Tommy's videos, because some of those things crossed my mind when I saw the interview bit with you. Now I feel almost ashamed for that. Why is it that we draw these conclusions so quickly? Heck I would even go as far and say your life is probably more interesting than mine.

Sure i'd be interested in why a person looks depressed but that's all.

I know how you feel when helping the native Filipinos to get inside that park . It always reminds me when I visit Iloilo City, Philippines - so many aetas wondering the City especially those kids who does not wear clothes- fully naked. Chasing you for foods. Immediately run to the bake stores and buy those breads and gave to each one of them. I have silently my emotions run high but oh boy- it really feels good to share what you have to somebody needs it…… I commend your intentions. ❤️🇺🇸🇸🇽

It is really nice of you to have provided entrance fee for the children to see the amusement park. They may not have said thank you, they may not even know 'Sabbatical'. But rest assured - their classmates, friends, relatives and neighbors will hear of it today and for the years to come, that one afternoon in early 2023, you brought them there.

i rented farm vehicles and taxis in Leyte to take my entire village to the San Juan beach resort. When we got there I rented multiple cabins for all. Bought food for Friday to Monday for everyone and some of them caught Tilapia to add to our bounty. Many of the adults , some even in the 80s had never been to the beach. The kids were overjoyed, some swam all night and day. Overall for all this and some big tips for the truck drivers it still didn't cost much by my standards.
