I've been amazed. I didnt know these missionaries appreciated it because it is just a norm. Been watching this for a while once i visit philippines ill set up feast for these missionaries. Whatever religion they are. Ill post it here once ready. We rarely get mormon missionaries in Caloocan though.
I love your video and your insights about our cultures. Such a great observer. By the way, just a few tips. Tao po means Anybody's home? in english, just a respectful way to say in Tagalog. Kain tayo means let's eat. We, Filipino's it's our culture that whenever we are eating and we see someone, we invite them to eat with us, it is our sign of respect and courtesy. :) Sometimes, that's just an invitation but not literally means you eat with us, sometimes even when we are almost done eating and there is no more foods we still say "Kain tayo!". Funny side of our culture lol
Thanks for sharing this. Am not a missionary but plan on traveling to the PI sometime soon. Your experience, knowledge about their people, customs, land & culture greatly appreciated.
About the food, the first offer is usually just a polite offer, and you're expected to politely refuse (otherwise, you'd sound greedy and downright tacky). A second offer, or further insistence, are genuine offers - this time it would probably be harder to refuse unless you can come up with some excuse not to (eg, you've just eaten or you need to go somewhere), otherwise you would sound rude (aka you don't like the food they're offering). It's more nuanced that it actually is.
I really adore Philipino people and their culture.I hope I can visit this beautiful country to get "drunk" and participate in "fireworks". Great tips.thank you
When I was a kid I honestly thought mormon missionaries are just american business man because of their ties hahaha and we will always be like "Americano , Americano" We always get excited and We always wonder where are their office at hahaha and they are so nice they even do the high five with us when we we're younger. So thats a funny memory for me.
The thing about the generosity is a bit more ambiguous than depicted in this vid. Ironically If you refuse food you could very well be considered as rude, but you could actually be seen as greedy when you say yes!....and let's not forget the drama with the last bite! :P
Wow galing mo ma'am speak tagalog a,...Very nice Tagalog ,.. THANKS YOU so much too for Appreciating with me FILIPINO ma'am,..I love you so much, GOD BLESS,..👊👊👊👊👊👊🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝👏👏👏👏👏👏
Loved the video and your understanding of the locals. The accent too haha too cute. You got them pegged. I've lived here since 04 (on a budget) What State are you from ?
+KEAN 19 she used the terms "proselyting", "companion", and "investigator". Terms used by LDS Missionaries serving in the Philippine Mission. My five cents worth. :)
I'm sponsoring a child in the Philippines and I hope to meet him one day, he's turning 11 years old soon and I hope to meet him within the next few years. I've been reading and looking up videos on his culture and some of the traditions and things that I'd see if I ever did get to meet him like I hope, and this video along with some others have greatly helped so thank you 😊
+BiohazardMike mate this channel does not feature the name of these missionaries as they share their experience in the philippines. Go and immerse yourself in tinder mate.
When was this? and where have you been ? what part of the Philippines? I wish you could go to Manabo,Abra...a place where methodists and baptists used to be abound but now Iglesia ni Cristo and Catholicism overcome them. My family is mehodist but nowhwere to go on Sundays.
Always carry an umbrella. Be it for rain or sun. A handkerchief is handy too. Wipe off sweat, blow your nose if really needed, but don't forget to fold inside out 'til you can get to a sink and wash it. Can make it a hair tie or headband depending on how you fold it. Also used as a temp mask for smells you just can't take. Another thing that' s useful to have is a foldable fan or if you're "saucy/sosyal" as they say, the battery-operated fan...
"tao po" originated from stories of manananggal, my brother said. that is why we say "tao po" for the person to know that you are not a manananggal knocking on his door.

They are Mormon. Philippines is Christian but its not Mormon, its Catholic.
