This STREET FOOD Market AMAZED Me Philippines 🇵🇭 Sugbo Mercado 

Aside from the mouth watering foods to try, what’s really amazing is the friendliness of people you met in the food market. That seems to be the common theme every place you go in the Philippines. The hospitality of Filipino people which makes your journey so much better Mergim.

In Philippines, you dont eat, you "it" lol, that is the way they pronounce it with that Filipino accent, but on a side note, WOW, I never cease to be amazed by Filipino hospitality. I can recall multiple times that I was treated with so much love there, even amongst people that either didnt know me, or barely knew me, but one time that comes to mind, is I went out to the theater with my shipmate, that was a female, she was part Filipino, and she invited her friend. Her friend was ofcourse a Filipina, and we went to watch some bs movie at Harbor Point Mall in SBMA Subic Bay, Philippines, I think the movie was, "Jeepers Creepers 3" this was back in 2017 or 18 if I recall correctly. After the movie, we all went to the KTV bar restaurant in the 2nd floor of the mall, and that was all I saw of her for a while. So some time later, I was in the bar that sits right on the pier (Alava Pier) there in SBMA, to this day, out of every single port I went to, even SIngapore, that Alava Pier was the most convenient access to a town that I have ever seen of like just stepping off the ship and being right there in the action in SBMA. But a couple of times, I went into the bar called, "Liberty Sports Bar and Grill" which was always so fun, I have alot of friends that worked there (the good ole days before the events of the past 28 months), but I ran into her a few times, we exchanged FB messenger accounts, it was nothing big like dating or anything, just friendly stuff, she was the initiator of all the talks for the most part, cause I'm admittedly kinda shy around kinda older, mature, beautiful women like that, but one night in particular, was a night that I would never forget. So this one night, she randomly just invited me out to go drink with her, and her friends and family, far away, like Subic CIty. I had my reservations about going, being that I didnt know her very well at all, or her friends, but they seemed pretty nice. They were so cool, and talkative, they didnt want me to pay for anything, they rode me in their car, but boy I will say, that was a long drive, far away from all the tourist area, it was raining pretty hard that night, that was a REAL rain season right there in Philippines, you literally couldnt see the road at all in some places. So we got there, they had tons of bottles of Jack Daniels, and food inside, they were talking with me the whole time, it was alot of people there, they invited me inside, allowed me to lounge, and sleep on the couch til the time it was time to go, and when it was time to go, they made sure I got back to where I needed to be, safely; though the streets were completely flooded. I say this for 1 - noting the hospitality, the nearly blind hospitality of Filipinos, it is unsurpassed in my book, and 2 - this is for those claiming, "Philippines is dangerous, or not safe" lol, I was a total BLACK foreigner, venturing into the unknown with people I dont know, far outside of even the tourist area, in Subic Bay, and nothing happened to me, I was treated like family; Philippines is always no.1 in my heart, yes over my own country even.

The way Mergim interact with the locals is just outstanding!

So happy to see livehood are back on track. I couldnt be more proud with our genuine filipino traits.

I think I can safely say that, per video frame, Mergim interacts with enthusiasm with the locals moreso than most foreign vloggers currently in the Philippines. No wonder, he's becoming more endearing to many Filipinos.

Just a bit of trivia Mergim :) When you hear locals say 'nosebleed', that means they are having a hard time speaking or conversing in English. It's a pinoy humour when confronted with native english speakers. Most pinoys can understand and speak in English but only a few can be conversational. So if someone is having a hard time and they want to make a joke of it, they'll say nosebleed lolz

It is crazy how many people invited you to have a taste of the food they were having. As a Filipino, I have never séen such hospitality. I guess if Filipinos invite strangers to their homes during a fiesta, then such a festive atmosphere creates the occasion!

Mergim really know how to enjoy himself in philippines very friendly to locals! Good job bro!

Thank you watching from California USA Mabuhay Godbless

Remember I saw your vlog just before you left for The Philippines! Your channel has definitely blown up as you predicted 👌👍

Sugboooooo!!👍 I love that place...

Cebu are the friendliest people in the world . Queen City of the South

I’m so jelly right now Mergim! I will definitely visit this food park when I go to Cebu city!

Kuya Mergim, I'm glad you always get to see the people you used to get along with, on your different trips and in different places. I'm glad you got to hang out with some locals in the Philippines and eat out with them. Thank you so much for making good content about the Philippines that other people can watch. Hope to see you soon Kuya!

Wow i wish to visit someday

17mins feels like 3mins again i enjoy too much 🤣

This is the video with most happening ever! who would have known in one video: - some random group let you try Tuslob Buwa - seat in the middle of a foreign family and a Filipino group letting you try Boodle Fight - seeing the Japanese girl from Oslob (like what are the chances) - and meeting a subscriber - just awesome man.

Glad people are starting to recognize you. You are becoming a local celebrity now. Keep it up man!

Enjoy fun journey adventures & cebu province keep safe & yummy food masarap😇🙏❤️mabuhay po

Never forget the word CEBU in your title to gain more viewerships

Hi Mergim, watching from Ontario Canada. As way of appreciation for featuring my home country, I am not skipping advertisements on your content. Thank you so much.

Wow finally you came back to IT Park. Good and glad you enjoyed going around making friends and tasted foods.👍

Hi Mergim, I enjoy watching your vblogs very much. It’s always exciting, informative, unique and diverse. You are the only blogger I’ve seen that interacts with the locals wherever you go by yourself. It’s really more fun in the Philippines bcuz there are a lot of places in the north and down in the south to go and explore. And the most important of all is the fact that Filipinos can speak English even the people in the streets or market and Filipinos are very welcoming and hospitable by nature and beautiful culture.

Mergim is the immersed in Filipino hospitality and friendliness ❤️Filipinos treat and respect there visitor like royalty or should I say like family.

No matter how many videos I have watched Mergim's vlogs.. his contents continue to attract a wider and more subs due to its interesting...relatable...unique...variety of vibes. These foodie vlogs are way exciting...fun....funny. keep it up Mergim....love watching this content...thank you...be safe...God bless.

Nice to see that you connect with the local

Wonderful beyond words

We could see Mergim making the Philippines his third home 🏡 We love you interacting with the locals.

Perfect beyond words

Only in the philippines. People here are so nice to foreigners. U cant go wrong traveling here. Come to the philippines.

Truly enjoyed watching this vlog Mergim! You mingled with many people, shared food, you're open to trying new things, and that's what it's about! Compared to other street food vlogs, yours is more about the social aspect and eating together! Love it!

Two thumbs up

Another great interactions with the people. This aspect of your video makes it interesting. Cheers!

Sana all🇵🇭 love it❤️❤️❤️

Nice one,,.mouth watering foods 😋 sir Mergim

Looking all the food makes me hungry 😋

That was one tasty walk around....great job enjoying Cebu

Awwk, that prayer before eating tho. That's very Filipino. 😊 that card you're giving with your RU-vid Channel details on it Mergim, that's amazing. haha

Nice place food market 😍😋😋 Beautiful video Mergin 😍👍

wow never thought misa and you will see each other again 😄

Excellence beyond measure

Mouth watering food 👌🏻

Tuslob Buwa is a dish originated and only found in Cebu. Tuslob Buwa - Tuslob means to dip while buwa means bubble. It means to dip in the bubble because it was like boiling.

God! I miss Cebu!

I've been here before, quite impressive. They're very organize and the food selections are great. 😊 I think Sugbu is the old name of Cebu, and Mercado is Spanish for Market. A lot of words in the Visayas are Spanish words. Just sharing haha

It's wonderful to see you interacting and fitting in with the locals.

Love it❤️❤️❤️

Excellence beyond words

That place is interesting to visit, everybody is friendly and share their food. I like to go there every night and don't have to spend anything. Hahaha.

Wow this is so niceee mergim

The girl at alchology said that you are gonna give her a nosebleed, she meant that she's having difficulty communicating with you in English. We say "nosebleed" (fil slang version) to things that are hard to understand especially English language.

Nice one

I love your blog … it’s very entertaining! Great job 😀👌🤙👍

Fun night. Eating dinner with locals. Have u tried going to fiesta?. Free food to any homes you want to go. You need to experience Sinulog in Cebu .

I loved on how you interact the locals. So awesome, dudz. Lovelots.

I really wanted to finish the story as soon as I clicked the play button. But the moment the more-than-two-minute-ad played, I automatically kept my itching finger to avoid clicking the skip ad. The feeling was like "Keep off the green grass!" I noticed that about a hundred subbies are adding everyday. Hopefully your collab with other vloggers brings you additional interested viewers and subbies. And did you just eat "tuslob buwa"? And experienced "budol fight"! And meeting Misa again! And being identified by subbies from Cebu. What a story tonight!

Amazing

Love this episode! 👏👍🏼

Enjoyed the video Mergim!! Delicious food!! Great interaction with the locals as always!! Stay safe stay healthy and stay happy!!❤️❤️❤️🇵🇭

Must be a new food court in IT Park. Will visit this place when I come to Cebu next week. Love watching your video as I s a lot of new places to visit.
