Is the Philippines becoming WESTERNIZED? street interviews 

Do you think the Philippines is westernized?

The Philippines had been westernized a long time ago. It's not new. Amazingly, the Pilipinos kept their culture and heritage.

Honestly, professionals/college graduates Filipina would rather look for Filipinos of their age. Those Filipina looking for Foreigners are mostly those who didn't finish school and take the responsibility of bringing a good life to their family. But a career woman Filipina would rather do it their way to earn for their families.

i agree with the first guy. hoping this country will continue to revitalize, progress and going clean especially the rivers. could you please continue to ask foreigner and local filipino about that ph is westernized now so some filipinos will realize how important to have an identity.

To me, Negative. I'm in Iloilo with my filipina and it's a beautiful atmosphere!

While its true that the philippines have to improve its sanitation, americans saying it makes me cringe… why? I just moved to the US 3 months ago and got dismayed with their public restrooms! Twice at Walmart i saw toilet bowl with poops and my first visit to the hospital was also a disappointment… even the toilet was unclean considering it is a hospital..

Great video. Seems like westernization does happen inevitably, however there is only so much that any culture will allow. The Core Filipino culture will always be there 👍

proud to be a Filipina love the Philippines especially the people ❤

Not by a long shot is this place westernized. They have a well entrenched culture in the Philippines and they seem very proud to continue going their own way. I saw that in process while in the Philippines and I’m glad to assimilate to it. I wouldn’t ever try to change that.

Wow! Nice! I think I'll try that frisbee thing.

pls avoid that question,,comparing women...each individual is unique..

On the surface, it is westernised or American like, but below and mostly it is hard core Asian. Don't expect things to be handled some "american way." I've spent almost one year in total in the Philippines.

Love the Phillipines especially the people

Thank you for all the foreigners, for coming welcome. Takecare ❤

Filipinos are very flexible.. like the Filipinos in the province when they came to Manila they will act like westernised individuals but when they go back to their province everything's back to normal

If you like to experience the good food. Go to the class A restaurants where original filipino food are serve mostly.

❤❤❤

the truth is not all Filipino are into Foreigner, specially those have a career of their own. That is why most likely is rare for Filipina who are already rich to be in relationship with foreigner. Most foreigner usually have a middle class but most likely Filipina woman who are less fortunate will be more practical in getting to a relationship with foreigners! to have a better life with them and maybe lift up their life of living with rich foreigners. that's the fact! That is why if foreigners like to be respected here in the Philippines, behave and show some respect the way of life here, boastful will lead you in trouble. You can enjoy life in the Philippines as a foreigner if and only you can adapt the way of life here. But if not then, it means this place is not for you. The Philippines will always be Philippines whether you like it or not.

Tourists while some are not staying but many are returning after and during their vacations.

Little bit a business,Little bit a pleasure😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Sad but thats true.

Frisbee guy is awesome 😂

About the basketball courts everywhere it’s because Catholic priest invented basketball and it’s cheap all you need is a basketball and hoop

The Swedish dude is very honest.

Kind of...since I was a teenager, I wanted the western products and that was 40 yrs ago😅😅😅

He comes every 12 weeks, second visit ever....sheeeshh .....newbies!!!!

The first guy interviewed should be the poster boy for Philippine travel! lol

I'm pinoy...the Philippines is a mixture of Spanish, Chinese and American culture + some visayan island living....whatever

thailand now is tociv a lot of de foresttation going on

Where are the Tagalog sub titles?

We can only blame ourselves not the Western Countries!

we call it this western hue "colonial mentality". believer it or not, it was way worse in the 1980's. but after the people power edsa revolution of 1986, the pinoy psyche began to change in my observation. i think the seminal era of renewed patriotism would have to be in the 1990s when local music artists exploded w/ patriotic themed fervor. that really opened the eyes of the youth of that decade w/c today are now in the age of influence. nowadays, i think pinoys are just open minded to western ideas but are definitely proud of their Filipino heritage.

Nice guy but that “body only” sleeveless sideless shirt , yikes , hope that doesn’t become a thing

As a filipina,I must say Metro Manila is westernized but outside Metro Manila,you can see that mostly has their own culture and tradition.The Philippines have more than 170 languages and 100+ of ethnic groups it's impossible for the country to lose their own heritage and culture.Western influenced is there but our asian/filipino traits and values is still there and can't be erased by western influence or by modernizations.

yall gon f up the balance eventually

They all live 🇵🇭in the island 🏝️ Yeah we catered for strangers and make sure everything is cheap for foreigners so we 50% of us can live in poverty !!!!!!!! Salary sucks -government sucks -housing g infrastructure sucks !!!!

Philippines was already a B!t€h for every country.. By being so friendly and hospitable.

When your culture is strong you can never be "Americanised"

The corruption level in the Philippines is critical its holding it back.

you need to buy a new mic

Alex, what’s yo thoughts?

The Blue w white check t-shirt Tattoos and ear gear. That is very western indeed. All you have to do is look at him. A paragon of the Bottom of Western Culture. Sorry for him really.

I'm really disappointed with Tony, he seems like a good guy with a lot of potential but he seems a bit down, so if he's got a friend in the Philipines he could've stayed, hung out with his freind, maybe met a nice young lady. Texas is a hell of long flight so if he's all the way over there he'd might as well try to enjoy it cause there are a lot of depressed people in the US who would dream of having a chance to expereince the Philipines.

PH is fine being westernized. It was influenced by Spain and the US after all. It's also not as exotic in terms of culture compared to Thailand, China and India. A lot of expats chose PH over Thailand for this reason as PH feels like a home away from their home in the west. Thailand and other SEA countries have far more visitors than PH but when it comes to foreign emigrants, the difference between them are not as big.

🙋🇵🇭

Phillipines culture is very interesting, external cultures have always influenced it in different ways. The proliferation of social media seems like young Filipinos have so many options and Korean, Japanese are also very popular too. Gaming culture also seems edgey here but hiphop isn't really a thing. That's my thoughts

Filipino food like fried are unhealthy. Many foreigners I met here in the US they tell me it’s not good at all . Some are good if not fried. I go to some filipino place all you see is fried all lined up,

The answer is no.

I’m born in Bohol and we love foreigners

There is no strong culture in the Philippines. Just like the United States, it’s a mixture of many ethnic group with influence of Chinese, Malaysian, middle eastern, Indian, European, American and Spanish. Filipinos are also Hispanic, Asian or Pacific Islander.

No I do not think is is very westernized. I am not sure what westernization really is. The culture is still pretty much their own, do they like some western things yes but I do not see the corruption that you get in the west. The philippines needs better internet, transportation, animal control, and services to clean up a bit. Also some of the corruption needs to go there and poverty needs to be addressed.

Why is it that most of your interview focus on dating Philippine women? I think its demeaning and influence men traveling to the country for sex. Most western men travel for finding traditional relationship since that type of women is non existent in the west anymore.

What do you mean it's becoming westernized? It has been westernized since the US colonized the country. I guess you don't know the history.

Come on. Let's not sugar coat things too much. The Philippines has beauty and good people, but most Filipinos I met were really having a tough time fighting against poverty. Also I think most guys go there to date ladies. These guys weren't really being honest.

Yes. And before you know it, there'd be people protesting about pronouns. God I hope not.

I just hope the woke culture wont make it there although its actually there already its not really spread out yet. 🙏

The guy in blue was right ,back then in asia in the 60's 70's and late 80's ,japan is the best country second is the philippines, its after the people power edsa revolution is where everything came into corruption and we become the bottom is asia ,back then 1peso is to 1dollar
