My Parents Enjoying Life in Our New House - Jan. 5, 2023 | Vlog  

I'm from Australia, and appreciate you speaking English... I found your channel searching about the Philippines, and was also where I found your channel ants Canada.

I’m a Filipino parent here in Toronto with 3 boys. I’m showing your video to them as inspiration and motivation to succeed. Your parents must be very proud of you Mikey!!❤

Thank you for speaking in English cause I love your channel. Iam Fijian living in Australia. My husband is Dutch South African. My children are Australian but thank God I taught them to speak my language.

It's OK to speak English language..we Filipinos are good English speakers and this can teach us also in some way...I really like your vlogs Mikey ...

I’m glad you speak English in your videos 😊 it is universal and most everyone can understand 👍🏼

Your Dad introducing you to insoles was soooo wholesome Mikey haha ❤

Your mom is so much like my mom 😂. When she was visiting here in Australia, she fixed the garden, planted herbs, bought her own cleaning stuff, kept cleaning everything, prepared breakfast everyday, etc... She transformed my house here in Australia into a Filipino family house and left her vibe here.

Gusto ko talaga ang pagkatao ni mikey kasi sobrang naappreciate nya lahat...gaya n lang ng mga nag aayus ng bahay ng mga birds nya...khit saan ipwesto ng mga gumawa ung branch ng tree..pra s kanya maganda. Sobrang positive. Kya sobrang bless nya.

My parents raised me speaking in English. It’s the same here in America. 🇺🇸 I ended up taking a Tagalog class because I wanted to learn the language and subscribed to a Filipino channel. The subtitles help a lot! Great advice for parents to teach their native tongue . ❤

As an old time Mabuhay Squad member, seeing your parents in the farm house makes me emotional. Your Mom reminds me a lot of my Mom. In charge, organized, opinionated and brutally honest but she is mighty proud of you, Mikey. Happy New Year from Florida!

Indiana girl here! 🙋🏾‍♀️ I LOVE that light fixture @1:35 I’m so interested to see the pool finished. I’m excited for you guys! It’s great that your pampering your momma a bit. She deserves it. ❤😊 Love the ones who love you. We are only here for a little while.

I'm living in the US and started following this channel since Ligaya and enjoy watching to learn the Filiipino culture, and enjoy the food & travel vids. I was raised in the US since I was 2 months. My parents are from Nicaragua,(dad) and Dominican Republic (mom). My mom spoke to us in Spanish and my father spoke to us in English. It got to the point where I spoke more English at home. However, as an adult I try to speak as much Spanish as I can (mostly to my coworkers) since my parents are deceased now. I also took Portuguese years ago and I have been taking french for over 3 years now so knowing other languages is an interest of mine

Since your side entrance is your defacto main entrance, you should probably consider putting up a pergola that covers the path from the doorway to the driveway so that when there's heavy rain you can walk without getting too wet, in fact you might as well integrate the pergola into a mini carport that covers the middle section of your driveway so that you don't need to worry about the rain like you did in this vlog.

I live in Holland. Love youre vlogs and familyvibe, don't stop.

When my parents were alive especially my Mom, my home would be fully stocked too and my children would always be very happy when they would come to visit and stay because they are "busog" always. How I miss them. Enjoy your parents while they're still around. Happy New Year again.

Proud parents and ang swerte mo rin sa iyong mga magulang mo ksi masarap silang magmahal sana all God Bless❤❤❤❤❤

I am a Filipino, migrated to Australia, when my kids were little, I taught them how to speak Tagalog but when they started school, they slowly forgot to speak the language. My children are now grown-ups, all finished University and now again trying to learn Tagalog. You have an international audience, and English is a universal language, the only language that everyone, wherever they are/live they can understand the English language. Filipinos are good in English language, it is actually considered our second language. I don't see anything wrong about you speaking English in your Vlogs. The most important thing is you were brought up by your parents with the good Filipino values. Napakabuti mong anak. Another thing I admire about you is you have high regards about the great skills of the Filipino designers. Your house and the furnitures you put inside it is a living testament to it. Keep up the good work I love your house. It's beautiful. It is my kind of Architecture.❤❤❤

Hi Mike! I am a filipino and honestly I prefer your vlogs to be in english because I am learning new vocabularies while watching your vlogs at the same time 😄 what a lovely family and house you have ❤️ I am a 22 year old graduating student, and starting to look and prepare for my future life. I am in awe when I see the Mabuhay house, and I am really inspired to have a beautiful home like yours. From where I stand, I know I most likely will not be able to have something like that, but I will do my best to achieve my goal. I am really happy for you, and thank you, you inspire me to live and enjoy life as much as possible ❤️

Toronto, Canada here Mikey!!! and we are thankful we get your content in English so we can enjoy and get inspired as well with your journey...sending hugs ...

It’s so great to see your parents again. Such enjoyable people 🥰.

Love having parents around, so many cleaning tips and also hacks. Tinola is my comfort food- if I want to feel the hug of my late mom i cookd TINOLA. Grabe spoiled ka Mickey kay mommy. ahahahhaha I do enjoy your vlogs with your parents, I do miss mine. Cherish your time with them Mickey and RJ.

I'm a Chinese, born and bred in Brunei Darussalam also known as the Abode of Peace. So I'm a citizen of Brunei. Thank you for speaking in English in your blogs and videos. Have been following them for more than 5 years or longer even! Have lost count! Keep doing what you do best! God bless!

I was born and raised in Singapore to a Filipino mom and a Chinese dad. I was raised to speak English because it was the common language in the country and at home. Mom didn't teach me Tagalog and my Dad didn't teach me Chinese well. So English is my main language. So thank you for speaking in English because I really enjoy the vlogs. Even now when I'm married, my husband also enjoy watching your vlogs with me from time to time.

American born (California, US) to Vietnamese immigrants and I enjoy and appreciate your vlogs in English. I watch your videos while getting ready for work in the morning and it's nice to not have to read subtitles. ( Silent viewer here for years and years. Like, back in Mikey's Angels days lol)

I'm from Suriname and my mother tongue is dutch ,but english is spoken world wide and I'm glad your vlogs are in english so I can understand. Thank you 🥰

I’m from Massachusetts, USA. Your home is like living at a tropical resort. So happy you can share it with family!

South Carolina, USA here. My mum's family was from Italy.They settled in the Pacific NW. They spoke English to assimilate I to the area. I wish they had felt comfortable enough to teach Italian to their kids. Will you have your mommy plant A kitchen garden while she is here? I remember when you showed her abundant garden in Canada. She has a green thumb. Have the best of times. Hello to everyone on your team.

We are from Calgary, Alberta and actually that's the reason why I love watching your vlog. We understand you and my kids can relate. They are like you, born and raised in Canada who also speaks French fluently. So don't change, anak, be as natural as you can be. I can tell your parents are super proud of you. You have your mom's inquisitive or curiosity mind and loves to comment on everything, don't get offended. I am not surprised if she'll fill all your drawers and cabinets with things. That's our "gigil" state of mind. We don't like to see them empty. Lol. As per your dad, you got his sense of humor.

❤Love everything you do & share with us! I’ve been following you for a little over a year now. I’m American- but my Bestie is a Filipino and he and his very large extended family are my chosen family in the SF Bay! I love watching your & RJ’s life adventures! Absolutely love the house and farm compound / family / community you’ve been building!! Your cultural family values, kindness, & love is so incredible and truly inspirational!! Keep on keeping on Mikey & RJ - we ❤ you! XOXO

can't explain how happy I am seeing mommy at the mabuhay squad farm house cooking cleaning i suddenly reminished my mom when is is still alive, iba talaga kapag may nanay na nagaasikaso thank you, mikey and rj are so blessed to have them 🥰🥰🥰 enjoy mommy and daddy your vacay at the MSFH

You are right to speak English on your Vlog, it’s international and most people on Earth speak or understand it. I am Swiss, lived in England most of my live and now retired in Spain, my partner is Polish we communicate in English. So you are absolutely right speaking English 👍

Hi from England 🇬🇧 I'm British/Canadian 🇨🇦 Born in England, raised in Canada and came back to the UK 27 years ago. I love watch your ants 🐜🐜🐜, you've given great comfort during such unprecedented times 🙏 Thank you for all that you do, it's so nice to see you happy and your beautiful home flourishing 🥰

Hello Bustos family, you asked us to tell where we listen from. I am from the Midwest USA. My grandparents talked low German to each other but not so much to their kids and grandkids. So now as an older adult I am learning German and one of my sons too. We want to be better connected to our heritage. You ask about the Christmas tree. We leave ours up at least until the 12th day of Christmas which is called epiphany, January 6th. Epiphany celebrates the coming of the wise men. I agree with your mom about this steps. There needs to be enough room for a person's whole shoe and a little more to fit on the top of the step. You asked about something else too but I forget now what it was. So glad to see you enjoying your family visit. Take care God bless Gloria 🐂

Hi Mikey! Watching here from Brampton Canada! It’s so nice to see your parents enjoying your house and relaxing. Such a proud moment for sure!

As a Swede i'm glad your vlogs are in english but I love that you are trying to learn more tagalog. ❤️ 🇸🇪

Tansi/Hello. I am from Ottawa Canada and I am English Speaking First Nation part of the Indigenous peoples and I found your Vlog channel and remembered you from It's Judy's life and I subscribed and I love how you vlog almost like you're talking individually to us 🥰 I love how you share your life with your partner and your family with us. So thank you and happy New Year and many blessings in 2023!

I'm from Malaysia and I absolutely appreciate that you speak in English otherwise I could never love your vlogs and you guys the way I do!!!

I am from Germany and came from AntsCanada. Glad your staying with English :) If you guys ever make invites for vacation, let me know i would love to drop by. Btw in Europa most pack the Christmastree away on Januar 6. Holy Three Kings Holiday. Keep the soap

Im in the Philippines and im not bothered to you speaking in english, i understand you much better. Thank you Mikey for sharing your daily vlogs!

Yes guys there are also a lot of European in the Mabuhay Squad, we need Mikey to speak English :P For instance I'm French but living in Czech Republic :-)

I love everything in ur blog. Honestly, Iam based in Tokyo for 33 years and my kids didn’t learned English or Tagalog. I regretted it now🙇🏼🥺… so, encourage your kids to learn their mother tongue!!!

I’m Brazilian now living in The Netherlands and I’m glad your vlogs are in English 😄

I’m from Toronto Canada I really enjoy that this is in English 😊 it’s easier and I get Mikey’s expression 😂 I’m happy for you that you’re able to spend this time with your parents. Your house is becoming a home now with your mom around. I can’t wait to see the finished pool and Bahay kubo

I live in the USA in the state of Montana. I’m so happy that your parents are enjoying your new home and I’m glad that I’m not the only one whose Momma comes to visit and buys out the local stores of bulk food and cleaning supplies! LOL When your bahay-kubo is finished you and TJ really should put up a telescope to see the stars at night (the roof deck would be great but I’m guessing that the deck without all of the lighting around would be the best place to put one. Awesome and amazing that so much has been done in the last few months. I think having RJ in charge of the construction team has made the workers a lot more organized so they perform their tasks a bit faster! Thanks so much for sharing. Much love and positive vibes from Montana. ✨💖✨

I’m in Glasgow, Scotland, and am very glad you do this vlog in English.

I'm a English speaker only, born n raised n New Orleans, La. 🇺🇸 I'm very happy that u vlog n English, cuz if not I might have never seen the beauty of the Philippines. U n Rj have shown us so much of ur beautiful country. Glad to see ur parents r settling n & making themselves at hm, it also just proves that the home has a good comfy, cozy, welcoming, vibe. Loved Daddys joke of the day😂🤣😉💞

cherish the moment while your parents are there, we have only 1 parents❤

Your parents remind me so much of my own! I think all mothers take charge when it comes to home making, cooking and all re-stocking of pantries, toiletries, etc. It's the same with my mom when she comes and visits my home. They are God sent!🥰❤️

I'm from the UK and don't speak any other language than English (I have tried to learn others but I think my autism makes it too difficult for me) I would still watch with subs if you spoke Filipino as I love your energy and your family. For the windows I'd leave the leaves on it looks so cute with them on x

I'm from California. My mother (89) is Japanese from Nara. SAME THING. She came here because my dad met her during the war. He was in the Army. She never taught me and my three sisters Japanese! Unbelievable! Learning later in life is SO hard. Seeing your mom loving your pups is so adorable! I'd love to see her with Britney and Rizal.

You've Built The House For Your Mom To Fill It and Make It The Home You Deserve 😍💙💛❤️

Subscribed after watching your Australia and Parents blog, you are so appreciative of everything and "no negative" comments on anything, very family oriented and I love how you slowly develop your home giving me ideas to my new home 😍 I wish to have home in Philippines when I go back to settle.

the vinegar in your wilkins bottle is more likely to be a coconut or kaong vinegar which is sooo good, better than commercial brand vinegar.

I am a Filipino in San Francisco with an adult son. We speak English at home. I have tried to expose him to the Filipino language, and even left him alone with my family who lives in Manila…but unfortunately his cousins talked to him in English. We hang with other Pinoy families (my HS classmates) and unfortunately they all converse in English. I am sympathetic to your predicament…

Hi ! i'm from France, born and raised in France. My parents are from Morocco and came to France in 1967. They speak Moroccan with their children. So i speak Moroccan fluently. I'm agree with you, parents should teach every language they are from, because it will help kids. Using english in your vlogs is a good thing for me, because i learn new words. Cherish the present with your parents ! Your home is amazing. Thank you !

I am from uk don't know filipino. Love it videos so happy ur mum and dad has come to see you at last you must be so happy. Xx

South Africa 🇿🇦. I'm so glad that your vlogs are English because I love it! Even though English is not my mother tongue most South Africans (most Africans in general) are all multilingual, in SA we have 11 official languages and Tagalog is not one 😅I would have missed out on so much. ☺Although I do understand where people, wanting you to speak Tagalog, are coming from.

Wow - your dream house - with a central aviary - is so dreamy!!! I love the landscaping around the property. I have always wanted a central aviary - I will enjoy yours from your channel.

The dog being called " suffer " 🤣 your mom seems to love the dogs lol, so cute! I love your puppys they are so cute

Mikey, I love seeing your parents in your new home. They're also so sweet and thoughtful to give you new stuff for the Mabuhay Farm House. Super happy to witness your journey in building your dream home. Keep inspiring, Mikey.

I'm from Connecticut in the US. So great to see your parents! My parents were from Hungary. I grew up bilingual. I didn't do the same for my own children and they have all let me know they wish I had!

Your home is like my perfect dream house. Away from noise I hope. Thanks for sharing.

From southern California and soooo glad you speak English in your vlogs. You have shown me how absolutely beautiful the Philippines and your culture is.... cannot wait to visit the Philippines one day!❤️❤️❤️

Yes you are right , do not share any family problem , keep it to yourselves,, just enjoy life continue what you’re doing sharing your beautiful house and projects, no one is perfect. Not a single family at all,

I'm about to migrate to Australia from Germany. My father spoke another language but he didn't teach it to me. I had to learn the languages ​​I speak on my own.

Hi Mikey and RJ! Thanks for asking... I am from California. I am half Filipino, my mother is Caucasian. My parents separated when I was very young, and I never learned to speak Filipino/Tagalog. I really love your channel and your content . It actually helps me familiarize myself more with Filipino culture. I would love to visit the Philippines one day and experience things in person, but for now, I will enjoy it through you and your family!

Hey Mikey and Fam Jam, I totally appreciate the fact that you speak English in your vlogs as I am from Scarborough Ontario Canada and I take the opportunity to watch and pick up some of the language like lichon I think I spelt that really wrong lol. Love to see the parents are out I was missing the daddy’s joke of the day.

Your mom reminds me so much of my mom! Treasure your mommy and dad as much as you can 💗 Dramas are normal but they fade from our memory when they're gone. - I sure miss my mom! My dad had the same experience with languages and his parents not teaching their language. You can still learn. hehe - I'm going to see "Almost Paradise" next on Prime ... 😉

Your mom is bringing a lot of clutters😜. Typical of our filipino moms lol. Look at RJs face. 13:40

So heartwarming to see how much you love your parents! You turn out very well,!

Very nice house. Congrats! Parents are very proud of you. All the best

You are a very good/generous son and person to all!

40:38 i think you need a bigger tv, like a 70”

I love a family man! Mikey. Your so good to your mom and dad. And letting your mom take over that kitchen as a mother needs to do. Your so chill. Because you know whats important! Your my favorate kuya!

Enjoy watching from Osaka Japan your Mom is super masipag so loving Mom and your Dad so cool I admire your family relative's and friends I enjoy watching your vlogs God Bless stay safe

Your very lucky your mom and dad is there. Your Mom is super mom.

I can relate. I was born in Manila and Tagalog was my native language until my family moved to the States when I was 9yrs old. We had to learn English and it was the only language spoken in our household. As an adult, I can understand some words. I always feel ashamed and embarrassed when I’m around other Filipinos because I can’t carry a conversation. So yes Mikey, I really appreciate your blogs in English, but a little mix of Filipino/Tagalog would be great too since I’m trying to learn. I can’t wait for my trip to the Philippines this June and learned so much from your blogs of different places to see.

I am from Virginia,usa. I love your mom stocking the house. Its what we do.

I love it when your Mom is around.

Your family is down to earth! Walang yabang. Parents are awesome❤

I’m from Guam. We speak English here. Please continue to blog in English. I enjoy your blogs. Thanks for the positivity. ❤️

I’m new here so Thank you for speaking English for me to understand because I also subscribe another vloggers from Philippine and they speak Tagalog and I don’t understand what their saying but yet I still enjoy watching even if I don’t understand ❤️. Coming from Northern Marianas Island ( Saipan) .

Greetings from my home in Berlin Germany, via my hometown San Francisco California. I speak English with my kids and my husband speaks German to them, it takes more time but it's worth it. The wallpaper is everything! Thanks for the English and Tagalog.

I’m from the US but Puerto Rican. I speak both Spanish & English. Please continue to speak English. Love your videos.

Watching since day one of your mabuhay house plus your condo days. Happy to see your dad again with his jokes 😊 You're an inspiration Mikey. Keep it up!

You know Mickey, This is my first thing that I'm checking if you have a new vlog. You really inspire me the way you design the mabuhay squad farm and I love how you appreciate small things.

Thank God for your mom.

I live in Maryland (USA) and only understand English so I'm so glad that you speak English as well. Give your parents a hug for me please.

Wag mo na tanggalin. Mom is the best. She knows what to buy for your house specially the cleaning materials. While watching your vlogs I was wondering what changes in your face aside from being looking matured. There it's your hair.! Nice Michael.

Always positive, Mikey. Your parents remind me of my own parents. Love it. ❤️

Its Ok Mikey We Still Have More Months Of Your Parents Staying Here So More Vlogs Of Your Parents😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 #MabuhaySquad

Hi Mikey and RJ. I'm Samoan living in New Zealand. My husband and I travel to the Philippines quite frequently. We're due to fly over in a week's time. We stay mainly in Baguio when come over. Stumbled on your channel because of your birds and their aviary which is absolutely stunning by the way.

Filipino, but staying Colorado for almost 27 years, we don't speak tagalog in the house. My nieces and nephews in California they understood tagalog but only speak english too. On the other hand my niece there in PI, is fluent in both, because that is partly where she goes to school. Enjoy your parents and happy new year!

Well I’m from Cape Breton Nova Scotia but living in Brampton Ontario for the last 33 years and been watching u since before the meet and greet at Dixie Mall 🇨🇦👍

Since pandemic it's been part of my daily habit to watch your vlogs, always here excited to watch future vlogs I really enjoy it thanks for sharing your daily vlogs Mikey ❤️

In terms of glass decals, I say slowly remove the designs and get maybe the edge panels next the walls actually engraved with neater spirals. Because the spirals ARE very pretty, but having clear panels in the middle would still allow uninterrupted view :)

I am thankful you speak in English, I am french, and discovering your culture! You are the best ambassador of Philippines in the world! Salamat

I am exactly the same. I was born in the PI but raised in the US since 11 months. It was important for my parents to have us learn English to be able to get along with the kids at school. My parents spoke Tagalog & Ilocano at home but spoke english to the kids. Lucky I understand but can't speak it. I wish my parents made me learn to speak it. Great to be bilingual.

Enjoyed your vlog so much. Retired nurse from Markham , Ontario. Been watching you even during your Canadian Idol time. My husband and I were both laughing as we watched your Mom voiced her opinions here and there upon arriving.Moms do that all the time, I do too when I go to my children’s home and condo. But we really mean well. My daughter speaks better Tagalog than my son. Since my husband speak Cebuano and I speak Tagalog, we both speak English to them. But sometimes, they know they’re really in trouble when I talk in Tagalog and scolding them😂 Love your and Rj’s home and specially the bird’s paradise. Wishing you all a healthy, successful and happy days and years ahead❤️❤️❤️

Hi Mikey, i am a filipina living in Paris, France. Your english is so good and it really shows that english is your mother tongue, your blogs are so refreshing. Take care ! 😘
