Our Life Experience in the Philippines as Koreans 

"The Philippines is our official home." - Liah These girls really had a good time here in PH, so much love. ❤️

Filipino American here. My experience visiting the Philippines in 2016, the 1st thing I noticed when landing in the airport is a big sign "It's more fun in the Philippines." I was there for 2 &1/2 weeks, and the experience I had in the short vacation changed my outlook in life for the good. Went back in 2018 in a different province, and really felt the beauty and nature of the Philippines. I really learned more about myself on this trip, that you can make life simple filled with positivity, and you don't need to keep up with the Jones's. Was planning to go back in 2020, but Covid happened. Hopefully end of 2020 or early 2021, the country opens up. The term it's more fun in the Philippines is true, but I would say it's more of "a journey that teaches you a lot, and you experience a lot more than what you've expected."

Godbless those teachers. I think they knew how to handle introvert kids. How you get treated when you are young gets massive affect when you gets old believe me.

Hi jessica, since u do a lot of interviews and talking on ur channel, i would suggest u that invest on a mic like Rode witeless go 2, to improve ur audio, coz u have a lot of really nice topic but very difficult for us to understand and enjoy your video.. keep it up and thanks for making phil content. 🇰🇷🇵🇭

Basically they're already a filipino all their childhood memories are from the Philippines and they grew in filipino cultures

It's the "My Mom's dream is to go back to the Philippines since a year ago" for me 🥺 I truly appreciate you guys♥

it's so endearing to see non-filipinos who stayed here be so relatable.

It is so ironic that many of us Filipino failed to see how amazing and wonderful our country is and yet it took a non Filipino to appreciate our Motherland. It may not be perfect but it has what it takes to be a rightful home to a non Filipino. Thank u guys, #Jessica and company, for loving the Philippines ... 😊😊😊

"Philippines is our life" was very touching. Thank you loving our country and for appreciating our foods hehee 💗💗💗.

This will be my future thoughts. I just started to living in the Philippines as Korean. The only different thing is that i have Filipino husband😁

"Something that you really miss from the Philippines *AT THIS MOMENT* " parang gigil si Jessica eh HAHAHAHA

I have korean classmates during college days, theyre nice and we treat them well, being away from home, away from your comfort zone is not an easy thing, so we made them feel welcome and at home.

The fact that Jessica can do hosting. This lady is amazing. 😍

I literally cried on this video. I am an OFW and have not been back home for more than 5 years. what struck me the most though is that Korean girls like you like Philippines a lot while its citizens depart the country to find food employment somewhere. I used to also teach college part time, and had 3 Korean students. Also, my wife loves K-drama a lot. All the best to you and your channel Jessica

They miss the Philippines so much and also their Filipino friends.

I can’t explain it but your guys’ humor somehow has a Filipino feel to it. Thank you for spreading a good impression of the PH in KR 😊

"The Philippines is like my second home basically." - Soobin

If someone bullies you / shows rudeness to you in the Philippines, always defend yourself. Simple but a little advice :)

"The Philippines is our official Home " Wowww. ang saya pakinggan yan . thank you dahil kinikilala nyo ang 🇵🇭 na second Home nyo..Lalong lalo na si Jessica .mahal namin kayo Girls ❤ ..

We Filipinos should respect them. Even though we experienced being bullied or what in their country. We are all human so, we should respect each other and spread kindness.

Liah’s the oldest in the room, but she doesn’t look a day over 18.

In our school there are some koreans there, and I have 1 classmates, me and my friends approach him, like talking because we're curious and asking culture, where he lived, he even asked to go on their restaurant too. I just remember

Ely is so damn cute..I hope she smiles often coz she have a pretty smile,. ELY lang SAKALAM!!

Really eye opening for me, I know bullying exists everywhere but for some reason I really hate when asians bully other asians with racist jokes. Also I didn't think the smaller stuff would really stand out as a memorable experience for foreigners living here. Good thing I was really close with my korean friends in high school, I was their commanding officer during our C.A.T. days. We never really talked about like were from different cultures we just interact like normal teenagers back then. Was really glad we showed them love through their stay and helped them prepare for the real military experience in Korea.

sinigang is always the best when the rain is pouring ...

11:29 “I left all my stuff in the PH; I thought I would be in Korea for a month” RELATE MUCH. I left all my stuff in my place in Manila; I went back to my province because of pandemic and I thought it would only be for a week or a month

I have to say, this was highly entertaining and heartwarming. Such a great video!

3:42 dang. Ate Jessica becoming more and more filipino. She said oo so naturally

Hi Jessica your Vlogs are really touching…as a filipino i Love how you guys appreciate our country.,..keep on sharing a positive vibes to everyone…fighting…

I remember happening to listen to friends in a bus talking about a Korean classmate/friend (I was just in front of them). One of them said that the Korean classmate like it here because he can fully express himself as gay unlike what his life would be in Korea.

I'm sure this video touched many Filipino hearts because we felt the sincerity you guys have. The fact that you loved our country Philippines melts our hearts! Thank you so much four gorgeous ladies.

Aww Soobin you obviously got some true pinoy/pinay friends. We truly cherish deep talk and love to express our emotions.

this is just beautiful and heartwarming to watch.

This video made me love the Philippines more. Some of the Filipinos does not want to live Philippines anymore. But this video made me realised that Philippines is one of the best country. We love you ate Jessica ❤️

Soobin: Human connection If you live in Korea and in the Ph for a long time then you'll understand what she means. Also you guys may look like korean or speaks korean but I can feel that you guys are have a filipino heart. I enjoyed this vlog so much.

Really enjoyed hearing your experiences in the Philippines. I’m Filipino but living in the United States and hearing your stories makes me want to go back home. So sorry to hear about everyone’s experiences of being bullied in there. I’ve also experienced that. I’m taller than average, light skinned and have slanted eyes so people thought I was Chinese. Anyway, glad I found your channel. I’m looking forward to your future vlogs. Keep it up.

The fact that they're all beautiful with a heart

This video is so very heartwarming. My 9 year old niece watching this with me says she wanted to cry. We're Filipino-Americans. And we're in the Philippines now. We're mixed Filipino Chinese ethnically and alot of my mom's side looks Chinese. I, on the other hand, was very dark and deemed "ugly" growing up. Bullied too. I'm glad the world is definitely becoming a better place now and bullying is not allowed in many schools. Our neighbor, also my niece's classmate, is Filipino-Korean and we love them so much. They're like sisters. She misses her alot. They have online classes together. One of my best friends in Florida is a Korean-American. Pastor's kid. And she's an inspiration to me. I also met Korean exchange students there and they're so very kind. Memories that definitely sticks with me. My niece is scheduled to move back to America soon and we were talking about how beautiful the skies are in the Philippines. I'm so glad you guys noticed that too. I mean, I loved the skies in Florida and California. I even enjoyed it sometimes in Chicago. But the skies in the Philippines are just so beautiful. Truly dreamy. It's so very nice to hear your stories. Philippines has developed quite alot in the past decade and plans to continue developing. I just hope we keep all the good things that made you guys love this country. The emotional connections and the warmth and kindness. You guys are also Filipino in our eyes and our hearts. 😘❤️💕💞🥰

So sorry for those traumatizing experiences you guys had experienced, one or few person doesn't make the whole race bad..... there's just those people who are ignorant about beautiful ethnicity around the world, and sometimes you get to meet people that cannot express beauty that's why they would appreciate(?) in a way they know or the way they were brought up....still im sorry for that.

I wonder if I could also go back there.. I miss my family. I remembered we had to cancel our ticket last year because of the pandemic. It saddens me more that i was not there when may grandma passed away. 😔 wish I can go back as soon as everything gets okay.

The atmosphere was chill, the ladies are sincere and experiences genuine. You all did a wonderful job. I hope you guys have become closer bec of your common background. It would be nice to see you do travel vlogs pag uwi nyo sa Pilipinas, all 4 together. Ingat lagi

Soobin looks so nice and very genuine person.

Koreans but a Filipino heart.😁 All Filipinos had bullied experience, even me. Hahaha. It's normal especially grade school and high school days. Heehhe

as a filipino living abroad and weren't able tp go home for a year and a half now coz of the pandemic. I feel you guys. Makes me tear up too! thank you for loving the philippines and the friends you made and considering philippines as your HOME. ❤️

Aaawww, I hope you all could go back there and everything goes back to normal so we can all move around again. Keep applying Jessica, there are lots of other really good Uni’s in the PH. And when you’re finally able to go back for school, do some travel vlogs with the girls. 😉💕

Hello! Thank you for loving our country. 🤗🤗🤗 Before K-pop and K-drama blossom here in PH, I have 2 Korean classmates in my college years and I really admire their bravery and confidence to study here in PH. i love talking to them but we have different majors and they back to Korea now. keep on vlogging.

I remember soobin in your past vlog.You two are in BGC just chilling.Shes more become beautiful.

So nice to hear from foreigners who lived here in the Philippines, good remarks and bad as well too...hope you come back soon, good people are always welcome here in our country and call it your country as well coz you've been here half of your lives..MABUHAY!!

i think liah saying the "orange mayo thing" is the sawsawan sa cheese stick.. thats - Mayo mixed with Ketchup~ 💖💖💖 good with french fries too. hehe

Though I love korea because of Blackpink and bts. Im still a filipino with a filipino heart and i will never replace Philippines in my heart. Thank you so much ate jessica,ate ely, ate lia and ate soobin (not sure bout the spelling)for loving Philippines .

It's nice because I adore both Filipinos and Koreans, and it's also interesting because there are Koreans who adore the Philippines. Liah, Ely and Soobin filipinos love youuu too heartuhh

It’s the people hospitality and the resiliency of the Filipinos that makes the country love by foreigners. The sights are just secondary and I’m thankful and honored by your love and respect for the Philippines and wish someday you’ll get back there and create more good memories.

It's nice to know that our fellow Filipinos are open and welcome to accept non-native people who move to our country. I think non-native Pinoys just like them are considered Filipinos too, especially those who were born and lived their whole lives in the country. It's nice that Jessica gives the Filipino-Korean community representation in this channel.

ONE THING I NOTICED ABOUT THE KOREANS WHO LIVED AND STUDIED IN THE PHILIPPINES IS THEY ARE JOYFUL, OPEN MINDED AND SO MUCH HOPEFUL ON THEIR OUTLOOK IN LIFE AND VERY INTELLIGENT AND SMART.

I love how Soobin likes tinola. Lol most of my pinoy friends hate it.

I really wanted to have a korean friend like you guys, Why? Because I know how much you appreciate the Philippines and Filipinos. I can feel the real "kababayan" vibe with you than "other/some" filipinos. And we have almost the same age generation. I'm a 22 y.o filipina. I hope, I can be one of your friend even if it's just "virtual" friend🥺🤍 More power Jessica!♥️

I really love watching your videos, I'm half Filipino and I don't have the connection you have with PHP and I find it really awesome how much you love it there.

Ely being silence made her more adorable and so cute when she smiles ☺️

10:17 although she said it casually, this hit me differently. 😢

Jessica you look good and stunning!! I think hosting would fit you really well. I hope I could get back to my old self and get the shape I really wanted. Also I appreciate your friends for embracing Philippines as their second home.

4 beautiful Korean ladies with Filipino hearts ...

I watched and listened to your interactions and I am very happy that you love my country the Philippines inspite and despite of some bad experiences that you encountered. Jessica I watched some of your blogs and you are articulate and smart so dont feel bad that you did not make it to Ateneo or UP try other universities ...get good grades then transfer after one semester or else re apply. Dont stop Believing....believe in yourself. Good luck!

It's always heartwarming when you see foreigners appreciate your country. More so if they've somehow grown attached to it and consider it their second home. Thank you Jessica for such a heartwarming content ❤

I am glad that your years spent in the Philippines are mostly filled with happy memories. Although, there are some who are not, majority of the Filipinos really have a good heart and would always give a warm smile no matter if you just met for the first time or not. Our hearts truly is richer than our pockets!

It's very heartwarming to hear you Koreans loving to go back to the Philippines or even considering it your second home when most of the world wish to go to Korea or have a taste of Korea ever since it's taken the world by storm. Great content, Jessica. I wish you more success.

Im so touch girls that you love the phillippines,you are pilpinos at heart already, ill pray that you can come back here soon.

She's listening to her fans request 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Glad that there are people who could enjoy this country of ours, I hope one day everybody would have the time and resources to enjoy this country of ours

I always love when foreigners mentioned Philippines like "Philippines is my second home" , "I love Philippines and the Filipinos" and "Filipinos were really kind"💖💖 Also when I meet a Korean , she told me that "I wanna go to Cebu" and "I want to live in Cebu"💖 how nice , isn't?

..what I really love at this conversation is that they really feel the feeling of missing filipino way of life and they feel the connection to the people .❤💚💙💗💓

Alots of love from India 🇮🇳♥

I can relate to this. I lived just 2 years of my child hood in Indonesia and I visited in 2017. But I have very good memories of it. The ambiance, food, experiences and etc.

As a Filipino citizen, I sincerely apologize to all of you who experienced bullying and racist remarks. I honestly want to blame lack of education, cultural difference, and ignorance as the causes, but there's really no excuse for bullying and racism. There are people like us who love koreans (and other people from different nationalities and races). We love you girls! 😊 thank you for liking our country despite your negative experiences. ❤️

This interview brings nostalgia to me. I miss my korean people too. They would sometimes call and tell me how much they want to come back to the Ph. And mention all the food they want to eat. This interview is so warm and it brings positive vibe. Keep it up!

I was in Taegu, Korea for a year on my remote assignment in USAF. I had a great time and loved it there. Filipinos and Koreans have great, genuine affection for each other in my opinion, except basketball. In my case only good memories and sometimes sorrow for the loved one I lost.

It’s a heart warming to know that even though you’re not a Filipino but you all love to stay in our country a BIG thanks girls … Me I love Korean TeleNovelas have lots of similarities in Pinoy TeleNovelas too …good luck to all of you and stay safe and healthy 💕😊🇯🇵🇵🇭🇰🇷

Had a lot of Korean classmates in HS, around 10-15 years ago 😂

It hurts to know you experienced those stereotypes in the Philippines, but I'm not surprised. I know what that feels like, as a Filipina growing up in the US. I'm glad to hear that it did not make you despise the Filipinos or the Philippines in its entirety. I absolutely LOVE listening to these stories.

I really enjoyed this video. It made me smile and happy hearing all the positive and kind things you guys had to say about the Philippines. It's nice knowing there are foreigners out there who love the Philippines enough to consider it their 2nd home. It's a shame about your experiences with racism and bullying though. I feel so bad, i'm sorry you guys went through that, some people are just so ignorant and insensitive... But I'm glad the positives outweigh the negatives of your life experiences in the Philippines! Thanks for sharing them with us! I'm looking forward to the next video. Btw, you guys are really pretty! :)

Thank you for appreciating the Philippines and its people...you are living examples of how nice it is to live with Filipino people.❤️❤️

Nice sharing of stories. Hoping for the borders to open again soon, also in the provinces here its not easy to go home unlike before. Family and Home ❤️🇵🇭

I'm a Filipino. This is really a good topic. I really like to hear your story about your bad experience here in the Philippines. It's very important to hear those things you know because it's open up a discussion that even Philippines is known for its kind, full of love people. There's a people here that makes a bad thing like being racist or something. I hate to think that many Filipino are like that. I'm very sorry for you guys to experiencing that here in the Philippines. I hope many people will see your videos to make a change that there's no room for racism not only in our country but the entire world. I really felt that you have a heart of Filipino. Thank you so much for loving the Philippines, my country and YOUR country.

we love Korea too *as much as you love the Ph🇵🇭❤️🇰🇷

I was just telling my husband the other day that Philippines has a really clear bright sky .. thanks girls for this content

I thought Jessica did good in leading the conversation. She asked questions and shifted to topics organically. it felt like they just having a converstaion and not like following and ticking off from prepared topics or questions. Kudos!

I like this format. Filipino Mukbang with them (+Syl and Moy) would be awesome. But really thank you for appreciating and bridging Filipino culture with Korean culture. Also, yeah Filipino teachers are one of a kind.

I love koreans.. my boss is Korean, koreans are good people and i raally love seeing them hanging out with them... if there will be a korean girl that will be my gf i will marry her 😁😁😁 just draming.. anyway best of luck to your vlogs..

I am very hopeful for you all - the young generation. The world is really getting smaller, and hopefully, people are getting more connected. When I left the Philippines in 2000 to move permanently to US, I wasn't at all aware of the Korean population. I guess some Korean businessmen ventured the Philippines the beginning of the new millennium. It's very interesting the connection thru food, music and culture. I hope that after the pandemic, you ladies can go back to the Philippines. It's also my wish as I last visited my family in 2019.

You guys are amazing Ladies! Thanks for embracing the Filipino culture and the country. I guess somewhere in our past we were all get bullied no matter what nationality you have or where you are. Stay Beautiful and awesome you all and dont stop loving the Philippines. We Filipinos are the Kindest, Most Caring and Loving individuals you can ever meet.👍🥰

Aww. 2004 I used to teach at WON near ABS -CBN. Then one of my student’s family hired me as their Private tutor. Family is so very nice. I miss them especially my 2 babies. Soek-bae and Lee Jae kyung. It sucks I didn’t get contacts before I left for US.

I laughed out loud when Jessica says"Oo, Oo" while pointing. Hehehe these are the Filipino gesture😊❤❤

Philippines my Philippines ❤️you guys are awesome, my Korean trip was canceled as well couple of yrs. ago due to Covid. You should visit my hometown too. Romblon has to much to offer.

They're eating pancit canton with rice... 어머. They're basically Pilipina.😊☺️

I'm a ESL Teacher and I teach Korean students, too. Watching this vlog made me happy and at the same time miss the good old days with my students. I hope this pandemic end soon so we can enjoy again our lives and continue our plans that were put on hold.

GGOD NEWS! All of you can travel back now to the Philippines! South Korea is included in the Green Countries List allowed travellers to come back to the Philippines!

Watching you guys gives me that typical Filipino conversation. I guess that's the effect of being immersed with our culture. Thank you for loving the PH.

I love how y'all openly shared both your traumatic and memorable experiences in the Philippines. Thank you for bringing joy into our hearts!

Thank you for the kind words about the Philippines and the Filipino people.

four of you together look like a kpop idol group

First I thought this was like an interview of a debut of a Korean girl group which consist of 4 members for PH. What a beautiful girls! Actually Jessica was graduated from Idol School, right? I hope you guys stay well in PH. I think PH life can be an another opportunity for Korean young people who are now under great stress for none. Long live and prosperous!
