Welcoming My Parents from Canada to Our New House in the Philippines - Jan. 1, 2023 | Vlog  

i like how your mum is criticising everything while your dad is getting amazed by everything

I love it when your Dad said… “I could not believe that you had this place that you can afford, remember long time ago you were just in Mandaluyong in one room” He must have been VERY PROUD OF YOU!

“Mommy”… despite all your success, it’s so beautiful and endearing to hear you say it like a dutiful and loving son. Your parents hearts must be bursting with pride.❤

I really love it like how you are showing your parents how you did good in your school project like a child. And your mom is like a typical pinoy mom who is not so showy of her emotions and who will criticize you just for you to not settle for any less than you deserve but deep inside she is so proud of you and your dad is a typical pinoy dad who always makes sure you get a balance of everything. God bless you more. 🥰

Although, you were born and raised in Canada, I appreciate your admiration for the sense of pride in being Filipino. There are Filipino individuals I've encountered who were born and raised in America, and they express feelings of disgust and shame towards their Filipino heritage.

Also, I looooove the snapshot of culture and sense of community that the morning walk in the neighborhood added to the vlog. It was colorful and nice addition

You are a good son. Very respectful. your Dad and Mom raised you soooo well.👍👏

comments on this vlog confirm that a lot of Filipino parents, including mine, are no different to Mikey's parents when showing something to them 😆 above all, happy that Mikey is now reunited with his parents. looking forward to more loved ones staying over at the Mabuhay Squad Farmhouse 😊

mikey is soooo adorable! no matter how far we've flown out of the nest, or how old we've become, we still remain kids wanting to make our parents proud.

Congrats Mikey! Feel na feel ko ang excitement mo while showing your parents around. Your mom may sound like criticising but for me she sounds like she knows her way around homemaking and that she is proud of you. Youre blessed to have your parents around and still strong.

Congratulations, Mikey and RJ! Napakaganda ng bahay ninyo! It truly is a labor of love! What’s more noteworthy is how much you love your parents to make them a part of your dream house! Very Filipino rin talaga! Happy New Year to you all!❤️

46:54 Aww.. She’s such a great mom. ❤ Her eyes are even smiling. She’s definitely very proud of you. 😊❤

I remember watching Mikey when he started to house 🥺 I’ve been gone for a year and see this! I’m really happy to see it completed!

I never say this but this one time, let me say your house is fckn insane! It's beautiful. More than providing your parents material things, it is the thought of them seeing you realize and achieve success, which is the greatest gift a son can give.

I love how happy cypher looked in one of his close ups and Sahara was on her best behavior entertaining her Lola. Thank you Mikey for the extra long video, I can’t express how warm you’re videos are to my heart

In true Filipino mom she has something to say about everything! Then my dad is amazed about everything or not say anything at all. I love it! It reminds me of my parents. Welcome back to The Philippines enjoy! 🎉

It's really great to see you showing off the Palenque as well as talking about the different food hygiene in North America versus the Philippines - I feel like this is hard for people to understand but it happens all over the world. Thanks Mikey for including these things in your vlogs.

His parents are so cute! His dad reacts like mine would, and my mom is also very critical, but that's her way of caring. Moms are just like that. I love that his parents show how proud they are of him. He deserves all the praise for how hard he works. I love watching this loving couple!

Mother always happy when we see our children is all settled & achievement.❤ proud of you two.

I love your Mom. We can relate to a Filipina Mom...if you're Filipino, of course! Enjoy your parents. They are proud of you Mikey! Hello from San Diego ...Love you guys!

My mom was getting so cross at your mom being critical, she was like “I feel so protective of him and all the amazing work him and RJ have done”. This is my mom who used to be very homophobic and white… education and visibility is so powerful and you are both impacting on the world in ways you might not even know ❤

In the true fashion sense of Filipino family, moms are always a critical on every, very unique. Father are the head of the house, mothers are heart of the house

Just hearing you so much grateful and acknowledging your audience as part of your success really means a lot. Praying for your showcase and influence of endless positivity Mikey. May God bless you wisdom and good health.

I love Mikey's personality, down to earth, and he speaks his mind but he's so positive and polite and also he loves animals so much ❤😊

This is the most beautiful house I've seen from any vlogger in a while. So love it!

I am so happy sharing your home to your parents You & RJ are both an inspiration. You made your parents so proud .

I've heard of second hand embarrassment but this is the first time I've felt second hand pride! So wonderful that you could share this with your parents!

My eyes were fixated on those amazing Cobonpue pieces!!! Thanks for letting us see your abode, Mikey!

Everyone is talking about the house tour but i can't help but compliment you taking us to your morning walk and tour around your neighborhood...showing the fresh fruits and meat hehe. Keep it up Mikey!

Mommy Bustos is a typical Pinay mom and Daddy Bustos is a typical Pinoy dad 😂😂😂… So Happy for you Mikey..Happy New Year!!! 🎊 🎉 💥

Wow!!!! Loved how you were showing everything to your mom & dad & I could feel & see on their faces that they are extremely proud of you that their child grew up exactly what they wanted to see on all their children reaching their own dreams. A big gratification & satisfaction for seeing their children not just being successful but sharing their success with everyone they loved & still respectful & humble. Keep up the great work 🎉Mabuhay Mikey Bustos!!!! May you have more blessings to come & more to share 🍾🎄🙏

It would be great to see an uncut walkthrough of all the floors. Congrats to achieving your dream of hosting your parents in your beautiful house!

I'm so happy for you Mikey, I can see how much this means to you.

You wont probably read this but my name is FAYE and I live in Calgary. I just wanna say that I'm so proud of you and what you have become. A living proof that if you just pour your heart into something and with hard work nothing is impossible. Cheers :)

I'm very happy for all of you. Your parents are so proud of your beautiful HOME.

Now that I am listening.. his dad’s laugh is like Mikey’s laugh. I feel like they also have they same sense of humor. They both seem so sweet

Mikey, your love for animals you got it from your mom. and your funny personality you got it from your dad. ❤

Love this video and how typical Asian parents are so critical of every detail of your home. This means they love you dearly and are super proud of their kids.

Love to see your parents reaction , very proud of you and RJ. Cant wait to see my son to have his own house like yours. We' ll wait for the coming vlogs. Rnjoy your time with your parents!

So happy that you're not only sharing your house but the new year as well with your parents, happy new year and more blessings this year!

That was beautiful how you greeted the house when you came back from your walk, because you made it a home. That's important a - "home."

your mom was spot on regarding the steps leading down to the main entrance. hehehe. overall the house is really beautiful you and RJ did well

An absolute gorgeous house, but even more amazing are the owners with such the BIGGEST hearts 💙 may you and RJ have the best adventures yet in 2023... and beyond.

Congratulations 🎉. Your new home is absolutely beautiful. I love your parents reaction and comments to everything 😊. You and RJ are blessed ❤

Yay Daddy's Joke of the day! Welcome back home Daddy and Mommy Bustos 😍💙💛❤️

hehe mommy is like my mom ... but you can tell she's proud of you! 💗💗 I'm so excited for Daddy Joke of the Day and so happy for you, Mikey - this is a big dream come true!

This is my favorite vlog so far! I'm happy to watch you touring your parents to your new house. This is the fruit of your hardwork and it's so nice that you really wanted to share it with your loved ones especially to your mom and dad. I wish for your continued success. You inspire me to drean and work harder. Happy New Year!

This is very heartfelt Mickey. Silent viewer here. 😊Soon i can let my parents feel proud and happy and share our fruit of labor to the rest of the family. 💪Congratulations! Happy new year mabuhay squad! Im excited for my time soon. ❤️🥳💪

_MOM IS THE GREATEST. I LOVE HOW CRITICAL SHE IS! HILARIOUS._ 👑💛

So happy for you! In spite of all your achievements & your success, you have remained humble. You deserve everything that you worked hard for. God bless you always!

Hahah noway !!!! Mikey’s mom lives down the street and my dog sometimes runs into his moms dog on walks! Nice seeing how excited Mikey is and his mom !!! Lol

You are an excellent/grateful/hospitable/loving son! A very rare jewel!!!!

Your parents must be very proud of you. Congrats to you and RJ!

Happy New Year in this full circle moment….where your parents came to Canada to make a better life for you and your sibling….and that you have created your beautiful family home in your ancestral home….for them to come home to. Such a happy start to a New Year!❤🎉

what a feeling of being proud of what you've done for yourself and getting approval and recognition from prople who matter

Ugh....me Speechless ... That feeling when parents see your kids success... By the way your parents are good looking😍😘

You’re mom is lucky to have a son like you

HAPPY NEW YEAR MIKEY, RJ, MOM & DAD BUSTOS, ATE ELSIE, KUYA ROMAN, ALL THE WORKERS ON THE MABUHAY SQUAD FARM, TO ALL FILIPINOS AT HOME AND ABROAD, AND TO ALL THE VIEWERS OF THE CHANNEL!!!!! I WISH YOU ALL A SAFE AND PROSPEROUS 2023. I wish soooooooo much that I could be in the Philippines with my wife right now. 2022 has been a rough year on our family as well as many people all over the world, and I especially want to put extra love out for those who have had the same 2022 as my wife's family has had. I wish sooooo much that I could be in Mandaluyong with her to comfort her and pick her up when she's down, as well as all of my inlaws. I LOVE YOU ALL. And I LOVE THE PHILIPPINES and FILIPINOS. Truly a culture and people that has had a tremendous positive effect on myself and my life over the last 11 years. I'm so grateful for having such an incredible Asawa, we just need to be here in Toronto, Canada together. That's her dream, to come here. I would be completely happy to move to the Philippines permanently. That will be a retirement goal. Hahahahahaha!!!!!! Mikey, your Mom is finally assured that you have made a life for yourself that she's always wanted you to have, but realized a long time ago that she had to let you go and have your ups and downs until you found it. My Mom did the same for me as I have always been an artist/ performer, and so much more involved in the arts. Sadly my Mom didn't get to see my success being married, but she made it long enough to see me marry Asawa ko, sa Filipina. My Mom actually gave me her wedding ring, from her and my Dad, for Carine my Asawa to be her wedding ring. Both my Mom and Dad never got to see me get married, but Carine wears my Mom's wedding ring as hers, and I think that ring has made Carine even stronger, like a SUPER ASAWA, because on top of her own stubbornness, she also has my Mom's kick me in the a$$ when I need it. Hahahahahahah. Mikey, your Mom is finally proud of you. It's easy to see because for a moment towards the end of the video when you asked her what she thought, all of her comments were positive. If she still thought you could do better, she'd have told you so, just like she did with the single stair when they arrived at the house. HAhahahahaha!!!!! Mom's, they never let us down and always know when what they set out to achieve in teaching their kids was learned when they finally see their kids successes come to fruition. That's her way of telling you she's proud of you. HAPPY NEW YEAR MIKEY, Have a safe and prosperous year, Keep Safe and Always Inspiring, Matt - Toronto, Canada

I love this episode because as a mom, I can relate. I am glad you are becoming true Filipino at heart, mind and ways. (accepting the bugs on your plants and food) lol. I am super proud of all your accomplishments with RJ especially the Mabuhay Farm. Rest assure that I support you both and often looking forward in seeing your next vlog. Praying someday my family from Calgary will be able to see your home in the Philippines. 🙏 🙏 🙏 God bless and only good vibes, genuine happiness and good health on 2023 year. ❤️ 😍 💖

That's what I like you and RJ bcoz you're so sincere and not maarte. You're both so grounded khit na you're so mayaman. Keep it up guys. The only missing in your very beautiful home is little one running around your big yard. Welcome home to your beloved parents. God bless.

You’d definitely be awesome parents should you finally decide to become one 🥰

I just love how dad appreciates what you have accomplished ♥️ Genuine emotions is really visible thru a person’s eye

It's so heartwarming that ur parents finally saw ur dream crib mikey&rg. Your excitement & giggles it's so contagious lol. Maybe it'll be nice if u can put 24/7 little speakers in ur aviary playing all ur songs, maybe ur birdies can emulate ur songs/words & help them speak. You can control how long u want it on & volume for them. Your mom&dad they're right about stretching that intro pavement walkway into tripling the length for safety reasons. Your dad's idea about the music icons on the glass wall aviary lol that's spot on, i should have told u that b4 hehe. It looks so beautiful if u put lights below the trees & w alternate lights wrapped around the body of the trees & no lights on the branches bc the body lightings can reflect beautifully to leaves/branches itself & that'll look more dramatic:).You can do these lightings w timers it turns on at night & off b4 it gets bright outside.

You have a quiet and a decent neighborhood and your house is contemporary and beautiful. Congratulations! Happy New Year!

Your parents surely are very proud of you and your accomplishments in life!❤ And I envy your dogs. They have so much space inside the house to be running around❤

Ay, buti naman! Andito sina mommy Cris at tatay Jerry at nakaka-miss talaga ang daddy jokes! HAPPY NEW YEAR BUSTOS FAMILY! 💕💕💕

Hi Mickey. Congratulations Ganda ng balay mo yeyemenin. I love everything on it. At so adorable the pups pls take good care of them. Ang pogi ng father at si Mader Ganda pero dami Comments hahahaha... nway good luck enjoy life to the fullest and thanks for sharing this. You are a inspiration for the LGBT community... Mwaaah salamat

Happy New Year to your whole family! Your vlogs helped keep me positive and sane during the pandemic and lockdowns. I was so grateful for that. I've watched the journey and I'm so happy for you and RJ and everyone around you!! My father and his wife have built a home in the Philippines as well, maybe one day i'll have the opportunity of seeing you there. Thank you always for sharing the journey. Have a great time with your family! Love from Toronto ❤😊

Mikey! I have been with the Mabuhay squad from 2018 and I’m so glad that everything is coming through for you :) from the small condo you were living in (walks with Ligaya back then) thank you for being the source of happiness for us. Have a great 2023! 🎉❤

First of all, love the morning walks and how it reminds me to slow down and absorb the beauty around me.🤍 Your mom has such sharp eyes she immediately noticed the stairs😂. And that moment where she asked the fur babies to “bless” to grammy, super cute. Love this video, felt like touring along with your parents, you definitely make them proud! Super inspirational and timely for the 1st day of 2023! Happy new year and more power!💫🤍

It's not weird Mikey to say u love your house! Keep being greatful and Thankful, it's a reminder of sweat, dreams, lots and lots of hardwork accomplished thats why you love it and more! ❤

I'm so happy for your success.💞. Your parents must be so proud of what you have achieved in your life.💪🇵🇭

So happy to see your parents finally being there and see your dream home 🥰 When your parents were celebrating the new year in the sky, could they see fireworks? And did they get champagne 🍾 🥂🎊

I always get so emotional when your family is with you and hope to see more of RJ's side of the fam soon too! Congratulations again to you and RJ for pursuing and reaching your dreams... cheers to new goals, new start and new dreams. I super looooove seeing all your friends and fam. Hope to also see the Matsuyama in the frame. Happy New Year and looking forward to more Daddy Joke of the day. What better way to start the New year with good vibes! More blessings... cheers!!! 🙏❤️😘😘😘

So good to see you Mikey! I don't know if you remember me, but I've been watching your vlogs for more or less 6 years now! (my first vlog I ever saw was the one where you got Lasik done) so pretty close to 6 years I wasn't able to watch your vlogs for MONTHS I was absolutely busy with life and all that. But still it feels SO good to watch your content and it feels nice to be back on the daily dose of positive vibes! And it feels SO surreal to see the Mabuhay Squad Farm house completed! Omg I literally saw it being built from the ground up. It just feels amazing to see you and your journey! NEVER STOP

Sahara makes everything she lays on pretty😊❤

So happy for you Mikey the big house reveal with your parents has finally happened.

So funny how our Filipino moms are never fully impressed. They are our biggest critic. When my mom visits, I have to make my house like nobody lives there. 😂 She will criticize everything even if it’s perfect. I just learned how to say okay mama. You have a beautiful home Mikey! ❤

Luv it! Seen it through the end. Feelin’ proud as well. I did meet your mom one very early morning both of us I guess coming from a night shifts from different hospitals and gave her a hand with her heavy groceries heading to Finch Station 😅. Happy new 2023 Fam! ❤🎉

This is one of the best vlogs ever! Seeing your parents with you is wonderful. ❤ I have been following you for so many years now, and I look forward to so many more years. Happy New Year to you and RJ!

Happy New Year Mikey, RJ & adorable pups! My New Year resolution is "less stress & more love!". Thank you for helping me start my new year off on a positive note. You make the world a better place 💜

I'm glad to hear the Daddy Joke of the Day! I'm glad your parents liked the place. Mom is under contract to criticize even if she is impressed. 🤣🧡

hey cool mickey your such a kind, terrific, hilarious and a brilliant son..ur so sweet to ur parents i can see how you gratefully treat them..love watching ur vlogs..your virtue itself depicts your eminence future and even it manifested now.. it kinda inspires people d way u deal things in life....I can feel how proud your parents are...hope i can see and meet u someday...Godbless you both with your partner.

Ha Ha Ha! My mom is Japanese, and she complains about everything! They both look very proud, you and RJ have done an excellent job. Such a grand and beautiful house. You two have put such thought and love into it. Happy New Year to you two and Happy New Year Mabuhay Squad!

Good for you Mikey! Congratulations!🎉 Happy 2023.

It's A Worthwhile Journey 😍💙💛❤️

Sahara is sooo regale on that ezpensive seat... a true princess 😊💗 i love your birds too... and thankful for sharing them... they too brought joy to me in 2022... still rooting for clara to fully enjoy flying... gooo, clara! Happy new year, mickey, rj and the fur/feather kids and ate and to your whole family... stay in love just the way you are until you guys are old... 🥂🎉

The gap in the middle of the driveway makes me nervous. You've got space for turning around..

I'm crying for happiness looking this blogs....I love everything

Omg i’m getting teary from this! I’m so proud of you both mikey and rj! A well deserves moment for you both!!!

Pumayat ka sir..good health for everyone..happynew year

Welcome back and Happy New Year to you Mikey! Ah, welcoming back parents in the warmth of the Philippines after nearly 3 years is a great feeling, and breaking this nearly 3 year absence of your parents here starting with a visit in the #MabuhaySquad farmhouse is just an awesome feeling and will indeed be worth making memories out of as this is just there to make your dreams come true!

If there's someone who deserves a mansion, it's you guys. Even after the money youve made, you still seem pretty shocked/amazed/extremely grateful that you have what you have. Thats humility.

Filipino mom is always like Mikey mom and dad...so cute

Congratulations! I think this is the first time you showed us your whole house. It’s beautiful and huge. I’ve been following you since your first funny video when you haven’t vlogged yet. Thank you. God bless you and your partner.

Mickey and R.j. Happy new year to both of you’s! Welcome 2023!

It's so adorable seeing you trying so hard to impress your mother. She has to complain but you know secretly she is so proud.

I just chanced upon this video. I don’t know what made me watch it, but I did. And I really liked it. Mikey, you seem so genuine. I immediately subscribed right after watching this. More power to you and to your family.

A lot say that those who grew up abroad are lumalaking bastos and walang affection. My 2 cents here is nurture vs nature, then I watched your blogs, learnt that you grew up abrod yet you have that ‘make your mama proud’ culture sa atin. Nakakatuwa! So proud of you and for sure mama is grateful of you 💖

WOW! it's a Sleep-In-Sunday for me... I'm getting a very late start! Happy New Year, Mabuhay Squad!!!! Mikey and RJ, this is just awesome!! The parents seem very proud of you both; I think that's the best thing ever! It's so cool to see the dogs meet their Lola and Lolo, they are all great, but that Cypher, the OG, just melts my heart. Mikey, it's totally normal to "love' your home. It's your sanctuary, where the most important people in our life come to be safe. Of course, you should love the home, ya'll built the house with cement and wood, but ya'll built your home with love. I have to admit, I got a tad emotional when we finally got the Dad Joke of the Day. Now it really does feel "normal." BTW, your Dad (and your Mom) is just plain COOL! Happy New Year to you all; this is a great start! Here's to health, wealth (in all forms), and happiness in 2023. Stay safe, and I'll see 'ya next time.
