Life Where I'm From

23 Comments

  • I'm sorry to say this but in my opinion phillipino's version of Christianity seem to be very idolatrous..I mean u guys seem to treat the idols like a real living being but it's only supposed to be representation of the entity

  • I live in the Philippines

  • Damn we got colonized hard

  • You noticed the sharp glasses on the top of concrete fence…security features of owners house is the main reason..thats why they put some broken glasses.old style when the cctv are not yet popular in the country..

  • Hehehe…yup that is our concrete jungle 😊 thank you for doing a video about our city and our neighborhoods as well.

  • Philippines problems are: 1.Very bad urbanism. Fix it by implementing good experience of 19th Europe – order, moderation, vernacular architecture. If solved, Philippines would be the best place to live in the World. 2.Nothing comes to my mind.

  • This were pol Lives?!!?!

  • I GROW UP IN THE MARKET SO I ENJOY VISITING IF I CN WHILE VISITING

  • YOU SUM IT UP PRETTY GOOD AND U KNW WHAT THATS WHAT IT IS LOL

  • The security theater in the PH is kinda jarring when compared to other countries.

  • What really amaze me is when Filipino proudly call themselves Philippines. Its the most severe stockholm syndrome that remains for many generation until this very moment.

  • POLLUTION HEAT POVERTY and GOVT. CORRUPTION Its TOUGH! BUT if you have money you can retire NOT in the CITY but in the provinces😘

  • Good job, pard's, fair, comprehensive and friendly. As a Pinoy, thank you.

  • My father always tells me that I should go work abroad and try to migrate in other countries. He is already 71 years old and see Philippines more than I does, I always ask him why would he tell me to go abroad. He answers me that life here in Philippines are not improving, inequalities are rising. The rich become richer while we who are in the lower income class is still in the lower income class or even worse. That's why so most of us Filipino's who are in poverty are portrayed as jovial and contented because that's all we have. But no matter what we are experiencing today let's just hope for the future.

  • This is different from sta. Rosa Barangay Don Jose it's like america.

  • i have alot of philipines coworkers and k just love their culture and food

  • That place in Makati looks like it was the street fronti front ofthe place I stayed my first trip there. There are people who try and scam for sure. Most are honest though. I always ask a cab, if I have to take one to use the meter. That or some try charging much more for the ride. I stayed away from all the tourist places both times I went and saw tons. Great place to explore but like anywhere use common sense.

  • I only watch half of this video because you always compare the Philippines to Canada Japan or America.

  • the first thing you must do in the Philippines . GET OUT OF MANILA. Its the cesspool of the Philippines.

  • USA!!!

  • I want to go to the Philippines now. As a Latino man, I think I would feel very much at home there. A lot of this reminded me of my own home country. And I think the Filipino girls are extremely cute! OMG! 🌹 those apartment cemeteries made me sad though. It’s a terrible thing when there is such poverty and there’s so little space that you can’t bury your loved ones in the ground and go visit them without climbing like that. It must be very hard on an old person who loses their lifelong spouse to go visit them. 😔

  • Thank you manila

  • If this guy visit Philippines again. Don’t welcome him 🙂
