Wake Up in the Philippines Tourism Ads Reaction 

I am (a mixed race Filipino). Our family left the Philippines for the States when I was a teenager. Growing up, I had always wanted to see Yosemite National Park, as I had only seen it in pictures. Sadly, the pictures did not do the Park justice. I had to be in the Park to see it with my own two eyes, to truly appreciate such beauty. The same can be said about the videos of the Philippines, coz I had the chance to go back to the old country as an older guy and see many of the spots shown. You can do many things there, whatever that may be. If you are into water sports, you can do stuff like, snorkeling, surfing, Scuba diving( The Philippines got awarded the award of World’s Best Scuba Diving Destination recently), There are Scuba Schools where you can learn and be certified. Kayaking, Fishing and Paragliding, Sailing, Windsurfing, White Water Rafting are also done. If you prefer the. Mountains, you could also do hiking, biking, ATV riding, camping and mountain climbing with the locals. There are some Sand Dunes in the Northern Part of the country where you could use Four wheel drive vehicles or even ATV’s on the Dunes. Usually during March, there is even the International Hot Air Balloon exhibition in the Province of Pampanga. If you prefer cities, Manila, Cebu, Iloilo, Davao, Vigan cities, with lots of Architecture and also a lot of nightlife to offer, you mentioned that you seem to have seen Manhattan in the background, those are probably the skyscrapers of areas like BGC, Makati, Eastwood. There are other cities with cooler climates like Tagaytay City, Baguio City. Those boats are called bancas used by local fishermen. Why can’t you stay forever? Don’t be surprised if the videos seem to show a lot of foreigners. According to the Philippine Statistics, there are several hundred thousand expats who live and have lived in the Philippines for many decades. English is used by most Filipinos, some not so fluent, but can speak it. By the way, Filipinos are Heavily Interracially mixed. Legally, in the Philippines, as long as one parent is Filipino, one is considered Filipino. Without being racist, there is no typical “Filipino looking person”. A Filipino could be as dark as an African American, Yellowish like Jackie Chan, Brownish skin like Spider-Man’s Jacob Batalon, Hispanic looking Filipino actor Lou Diamond Philipps, Caucasian looking like award winning Filipino actors, Darren Criss and Hailee Steinfeld. There are more and if you don’t mind, Please try to watch the video” Famous Half-Part Filipinos from around the World”. For more examples that may pleasantly surprise you. Yes there are mosquitoes. Caves? Go to Palawan to go to one of the world’s longest underground river caves. Music, singing, even a family lives out in the boondocks, there would always be some music playing. Most households City or Country would also have some music playing. Even a wet market would have a radio or something playing and even in some cases, I have seen workers sing at a Wet Market Karaoke Machine during lunch break. The Karaoke is basically a part of a Filipino party, no matter where the Filipino is around the world, and, although there are lots of Filipino songs, there are so many Karaoke songs in English as well.

You might check the vlogger Becoming Filipino, he usually show the beaten paths than the touristy spots. He is Canadian, he could probably help you. Fun awaits in the Philippines. ❤

Those places shown are actually far more beautiful in person.

"The Philippines in reality" those places that are shown here are really Instagramable, you may really wonder how amazingly beautiful those places in person, its really a paradise you can feel and see, from its beaches, soil, mountains and its people!🤓

"We can probably go by speaking English in the Philippines". Yes you can, we have two official languages - Filipino and English. Most people can communicate by English.

More fun in the Philippines 🇵🇭! Only unique nation in the whole planet! Only in the 🇵🇭

My name is Benny, Hi, remember Philippines is rich in natural resources, with more than 7000 islands, you can experience and see those places but you cannot visit them in one visit in the Philippines, watch all the foreigner who scared to visit Philippines, and I’m telling you, they came back and back to out beloved country and decided to stay in the Philippines. 🇵🇭 Yes you’re absolutely right , you have one life to live , visit Philippines but just to give you a heads up,,, you will travel about 15 - 18 years on the air. I want you to watch all foreigners like other Asian neighbor country, Africans, Americans, Europeans to visited and stays in the Philippines.

The views and nature that you see in the tourism ad of the Philippines are all true and not the instagram type videos. If you want videos as comparison, you can check out vlogs of foreigners who came to the Philippines and end up making the Philippines as their home based or 2nd home. You can check out 8 miles from home vlogs, Make it Happen vlogs, Juicy vlogs etc… they have toured a lot of the provinces shown in the tourism video. The colourful houses on the mountain side that you love is in Baguio City, the summer capital of the Philippines. The edge of the world video is in Batanes. You will be able to travel around well in the Philippines as long as you are open in talking with the locals, most people can understand English and able to communicate one way or the other. Fun awaits you when you travel to the Philippines as long as you are open to new experiences.

Some say philippines is actually the garden of eden, im a filipino i was born in a remote barrio in the 70"s our place was like garden of eden indeed, one thing the philippines has is our jungles have no bears tigers or lions, our river where i was born has no crocodiles so you can go swimming how many times you like, so if you camping nothing to worry but some humans, i remember so vividly trees full of fruits and when night comes some trees was like christmas tree because of hundreds of fireflies with different colors, my childhood was fun and awesome, every year there is FIESTAS you can eat in any house you want drink till pass out haha now i live on a city and i miss so much my hometown

Philippines has more than 150 languages. Every provinces has each language. I am a pure Manileñans I only speak Tagalog so I completely don’t speak nor understand other Filipino Languages but I love it everytime I hear them especially Ilongo.

Philippines is an English speaking country so any place you go here they will understand you. Welcome to the Philippines in advance. I hope the time you visit here is the concert of SB19 or Morisette. You will love the crowd.❤

I hadn't watched the last part of this reaction vid til now. You talked about being "brainwashed into thinking America is the greatest in everything". Honestly, me as a Filipino living in our country, I think I was brainwashed into thinking that too, esp. from my own mother who was so into "great America". And so i grew up thinking that our country is way inferior than US and other countries. And even when I got to visit Boracay (back in the 90s), though it was a stunningly beautiful island with powdery white sand and turquoise colored waters, at the back of my mind I kept thinking "no, i'm sure there are even more beautiful beaches in other countries!" Why? Because i've been brainwashed into thinking that way. It's only in the last maybe 5 years when I started realizing how beautiful our country is (esp. our nature and also our rich culture) - thanks to ads like this and watching foreign vloggers showcasing our country. That's why I am also thankful to these vloggers and support them. Aside from opening my eyes to the beauty of our country, they have also helped greatly in promoting our tourism which helps our economy too. But I don't think you should sell your house just yet to go traveling. You still need a safety net in case things don't work out. Just my practical advise. :)

Yes we have mosquitoes in the Philippines 🇵🇭 and our mosquitoes are also friendly 😂

Always ask the locals for any secret gem places wherever you visit here, coz there are more hidden gems than the ones discovered. Don't forget to try as many fruits as you can. Go to the provinces.... not in the very busy place of Imperial Manila.

To see is to believe. To experience is to immerse.. To savor is to enjoy. Go ahead and travel. Our Paradise Islands, including unbeaten paths, the genuine Filipino hospitality, the diverse culture, the savory cuisine, and a whole new world are waiting for you. To explore, to experience, and to enjoy those beautiful moments and memories only you can make. There they are, just within your reach now. Welcome to the Philippines!

Tha Philippines is one of the best & richest Biodiversity

PH is open for you guys 😍😍

Summer is coming. Come and visit the Philippines ❤❤❤❤❤

Yeah,this is fact videos about our country. Amazing beaches nature, food and people,you love it truely and you are very welcome here in the Philippines. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭❤❤❤😊😊😊

We (Filipinos) welcoming you with an open arms when you visit our beloved country...💖

What you've watch is just tip of the iceberg. 90% of the highlights are the locals. You will love the Philippines and its cheap. Your only hindrance is time. Remember its more than 7,000 island with 7,000 must to experience. Rent or Buy an SUV if you want to scour the whole of the Philippines in short time.

Depends when you're going. There are festivals and events you can go and participate in. And yeah, there are mosquitoes😁. But please try the mangoes. 😊

Hello Stephen & Taylor! What you saw were realities, its a reflection of how diversed the country is from the north to the south...and the more fascinating are the filipino people; welcoming and hospitable, they will guide, receive you with smile. That's the Philippines...❤

If I’m not a Filipino, I would say It’s not possible there’s a country this beautiful like a paradise.. They showed lots of different things, views, foods, fruits, activities, etc.. It’s just impossible they all exist in a small country. But, yeah… aside from traffics and some slum areas, those showed in the videos really do exists in this country.

It's nice you guys are open minded many people there speak Tagalog and English and a dialect from there town, don't forget to bring you bug spray and sun block,

Yeah... This is totally true... I'm an employee of the the biggest pineapple Farm in the Philippines that company is the biggest exporter in Europe and latin America even in Asian in extend, We had so much to offer here and had a lot of beautiful places that you've never seen before.

Philippines is a top beach tourist destination in the world and has won several top awards from Conde Nast traveler. Im blessed that my ancestral province is Coron, Palawan so you gotta go there weve been no. 1 for some consecutive years as top beach destination in recent years. The other great beaches to go to is boracay and Siargao, top beach destinations as well. Youll be in awe to see how fine and white the beach sand is here which makes the sea looks so clear and pristine but yes there are mosquitos here so tape your repellant together with your sunblock lol as there are a lot of sun on here throughout the year. Now is actually the best time to go here...from december to february which is between lean and peak season. I say that because of the cool weather but with warm sun and no rain and not much tourist yet until summertime which is so hot between march til may and more expensive. 95% of filipinos can actually speak english and about 47% can speak fluent english with great diction and enunciation which makes the country the 5th largest english speaking country in the world so that solves your problem with communication barrier. Taylor, the dance with bamboo poles is called Tinikling which is an age old filipino folk dance...the challenge is to not get caught by the bamboo without looking down while maintaining the grace of your dancing. When it comes to nightlife, it would be fitting for you to go to bar drinking places or restaurants where live bands play (you'll be amazed by how good they are and theyre all over in major cities and if youre more daring, go to karaoke bars with filipinos you become friends with. Oh theres just so much to do here that's why the country's motif is It's More Fun in the Philippines so I hope you wont ever change you mind about coming here 😊. I love this reaction much!

As a Filipino American I subscribe just now. Please visit my country where I was born and raised but I live in The US for 40 years now. Philippines has so much to offer. The people is our greatest resources, very friendly and hospitable.

I'm Filipino and just starting to explore my own country, have visited few places outside my comfort (city) and I'd say you can really experience the kind of beauty shown in this video, it's always better to visit a place for the second time when you've learned better about it. Also, thanks for appreciating our country and people

All of those in the video are real..visit to our Country..we always welcome you by heart and hands.. come here Taylor.. You can't regret it for the rest of life..There so many Tourist here Around the World..🤲🤲🤲❤❤❤❤you gonna love it👍👌👌👌

Thank you for choosing the Philippines.

This is fantastic, Stephen and Taylor 😍 You are most welcome here and experience the hospitality of our people and enjoy the summer with its heavenly fruits and delicious food. You might even bump into one of the artists you,ve reacted to in your channel. 😄That would be a treat😍 So back to artsts,would you reactt to sb19 next please. Like WYAT, BAZINGA, WHAT, MANA, ILAW, HANGGANG SA HULI. NYEBE. .

every commercial spot features a region in the philippines, which is comprised of a number of provinces. different key attributes of that region are highlighted, such as the ATVs in mayon volcano of bicol region, etc.

I love our country. I live in province, all i can say is that the hills and beaches are true. We swim in clear beaches since i was a chid. I thought growing up that everyone in the world swam in the same blue and turquoise water. So i thought its very common, im surprise many times foreigners praise our beaches and other places in our country. We also celebrated many festivals, as you saw in the video the people who are wearing costumes. Were doing street dancing.

Первый комментарий, первый просмотр и первый лайк👍🤝

Philippines is small country....but so Manny adventures that u made specialy the food

Filipinos are hospitable people,nice to visit Philippines ❤

Fun Awaits!!!

Fun awaits! Love, love this episode. You are definitely welcome to visit our amazing country. Yes, this tourism ad has been "instagrammed", but only so it looks super sharp and somewhat perfect. But the feels that these people in the ad mentioned, they are real. The sites are not that flawless but they will still leave you in awe. Just like Stephen, I also haven't seen most of the Philippines despite being a local. But those that I have visited really made lasting impressions. What I can assure you is that the people here are so warm and friendly. And yes, most understand, even if not all, can speak fluent English. Communication will not be a problem. I'd recommend you watch vlogs made by foreigners, especially those who have decided to stay in the Philippines. Hope you can visit the Philippines soon! Who knows, you might decide to do that RV life here. Ha ha. 😆

I'm 100% positive you'll enjoy your visit to our country. Some can't miss places are Coron, El Nido, Boracay, Siargao, Cebu. There's tons of places you can go. It just depends on how much time you have. Enjoy our food, our culture, and most of all our people. Can't wait to see your videos when you visit our Philippines! Mabuhay!!!

I'm a local in visayas region and believe me been in luzon... speaking English only won't be a problem! The locals basically beats the destination.they will guide you in anyway they can without even asking for anything in return except a thank you ❤️ can't wait to see you guys!

Hi i watch your video all the time you are always welcome to the Philippines. Just one thing if your already there becareful of your belongings....I'm from Cebu Philippines but now residing in California. Talking about mosquitos we have mosquitos in the Philippines. My whole family here in California is flying to the Philippines this month and most of them are first time. Try also visit Cebu the Bantayan island resort especially the virgin island. Thanks for visiting Philippines. The beautiful houses the color houses are from Baguio City .

HELLO! GUYS LETS GO COME TO THE PHILIPPINES

People in the Philippines speak english . We have 100 or more dialect but the most common is Tagalog and English people can understand some people are shy but they can help you just ask the locals or meet some vloggers who have been there for a long time. Everywhere you go people can sing we love music from old song to now. Once again thank you and hopefully to see your their and enjoy with some locals. Try also watch Becoming Filipino His a vlogger for a long time until he live there for good.

Thanks for loving the Philippines maybe this video will help you ,Philippines voted best Tourist Destinations in 2022 ❤❤ u guys

As a filipino ,philipines is very simple life ,but rich nature,supper nice views everywhere.

Fun Awaits

as i remember our grandmother always advices our parents to let us cry out loud in the morning. it lets our lungs stronger. so i guess maybe thats is why in the Philippines there are singers that sings well because of that.

The way to learn is to see by watching dozens of foreign vloggers as they visited or stayed in the country and engaged in activities and indulged in many fun plesures😊

You guys have always connecting yourselves to Filipino stuffs and now it is your time to reach that connection personally to witness and feel the wonder and beauty of the Philippines from it's culture, arts, lifestyle etc.... a magical experience of FUN AWAITS you here. As we always say our greeting " MABUHAY KAYO " it means long live or cheers.

Thank you for your big heart guys man' -- love and respect to your Philippine interest.

Yes. There are a lot mosquitoes in the Philippines, especially in the provinces. Better bring that Off Lotion.

This is the best time to visit in the Philippines because summer season is starting.

Philippines are more than what I just seen...it's just a tip....but the people made it more than what you think...this is the place to be.

Yes, there are mosquitos here. We are a tropical island country, so naturally, we do have'm. Good thing we have plenty of products to protect you from them.

22:38 The Honesty Shop in Batanes is not a typical cafe. There are no store clerks, only a small payment box. And because there is no one there to watch you, you pay for what you get through an honor system. Essentially, all you need is to be an honest person.

I'm personally looking forward to see you enjoy the "paradise" called The Philippines! Hope to catch you guys in person, too! 🥰

Your very much welcome here in the Philippines. Mabuhay

You are very welcome to come and visit our country the Philippines.Just watch some of the foreign vloggers here or some tourist who expirienced the Philippines life.Natures and City life and of course we are tropical country so expect the hot and humid summer during month of March till June.SeeYah!

Hi Stephen & Taylor! love to watch you again old subs here! You're always Welcome Sir! & M'dame! ! #Fun Awaits!

I have watched Morissette reactions from you two, and when Taylor starts crying I always say big baby.Don't worry Taylor I am that same big baby when she sings, and I am a 66 year old cowboy from Florida, tough as they come,BUT when it comes to Mori I am a big baby lol.I also have a uncontrollable need to go to the Philippines,for two reasons to see Morissette "Queen of hearts"live and to meet her in person.I hate to fly but if I have to go to the Philippines to see her my admiration has no bounds,I would rather see her here in the states but flying that far well It will happen.

Those videos showcasing each Provinces in each region's best tourist destinations in the Philippines can offer to the world.

Good job! You entered the right channel for tourists.

I hope you can visit may lovely and proudly country Philippines i always watch your vedio i hope u can see you in personal thank you salamat,mabuhay

Fun awaits!!

Summer in the Philippines is between March to 2nd week of May...the rest is kind of rainy...or you could come between Sept to Dec to experience pinoy Christmas at the same time

Fun awaits really❤❤❤❤

Fun Awaits.....❤

By the way, that volcano you saw is called Mayon Volcano and is the most perfectly coned volcano in the world. Very symmetrical and breath-taking to vieweven from hundreds of miles away.

Music is a part of our being we can't leave without it ❤❤❤the water falls .. it's from my home Town in laguna.theres a lot of wonderful water falls in Laguna it's the tourist spots on region 4A it's hard to find water falls to be honest it's in the middle of the woods sometimes it's an hour to go there but it's different kinds of water falls amazing ❤❤❤

There's a You Tuber from Colorado Always Be Changing and they've been to the Philippines before but they fell in love with the country and the people..now BGC in Manila is their second home.Better visit the Philippines by Jan to May it's summer season there..June to December rainy season.👍

Helllo ,if you want to visit our beloved country Phillipines your are very much welcome here.I know you will enjoy here,exploring the cities and beaches too.Specially the other island and the provinces .I'm excited to see you both here in our country.God bless you both🥰👍❤️❤️❤️🇵🇭

Hey guys, when are looking at going? Been some shaky seismic action building up these past few weeks in the Philippines. They do get a few in general but when there's clusters it can sometimes mean a stronger shallower one may occur. .It's a beautiful place.

Just imagine 170+ language (Dialects) we speak in the Philippines. It's like getting a whole new different cultures and lifestyle vibe in each cities or province from the 7k plus islands in the Philippines.

One month vacation is never enough to explore the Philippines! Remember we there are more than 7000 islands and each region has its unique landscape, food and culture. Even me as a local have not been in many of the islands. Thats why there ars lot of digital nomads who makes the Philippine their base so they can explore more of the islands. Come here and visit us!

I like the girl doing reaction, but the dude never stop talking,,, but I'd still push the like button, new subscriber from the Philippines 🇵🇭✋❤️❤❤❤❤

If you love the nature place of the Philippines is more than the people. A happiest people can sing and can sing well.

We're in the tropics so there's a lot of insects here, not just mosquitoes. So if you visit our country buy some local mosquitoe repellant.

Also the Philippines is divided into 3 major island groups. Luzon where Manila is, Visayas in the center and Mindanao down south. In Luzon, if you travel north by land from Manila, you go up the mountains and the nice spots are Baguio, Banaue, Vigan, La Union. Baguio was built by the Americans as their recreation place to escape the hot weather in Manila. There are lots of tourist places to go there. Banaue is where you will see a wonder of the world, the Rice Terraces. Vigan is famous for old Spanish houses and town. La Union is famous for surfing and beaches.

21:00 Yup, there are mosquitoes in every tropical country. However, we use mosquito repellant lotion. Once you land, look for a store and purchase "Off lotion".

Best time to visit the Philippines is during summer time, from March to May...its rainy season during the mos of October up to Jan, its hard to travel all over the Philippines during rainy season.

The Philippines awaits your visit..❤❤❤

Hope you can come to our beautiful country,stay safe and God bless always,following with love from the Phillippines

It showcase the beauty of different regions of the Philippines..the views and local tourist attractions..the people the festival and so on. each regionand provinces has their own unique festival..it will be best to come to the Philippines when there is a festival happening..❤️

Fun waits . I actually didn't feel that long I enjoyed watching with you guys. And I went there to Boracay and it was an amazing place. I would love to go back there. And I agree that it's important to educate yourself about the country you want to go to before travelling.
