Thanks! That history was very uplifting! People should help each other, no matter who you are and where you’re from! From Los Angeles, California!
Yeah! Salamat! 😇🙏

Why don’t you go back to your country and get a job till you retire and then come back to the Philippines so that you don’t have to beg to us.
@@Filipinez
Go get a real job will you, instead of begging!
How can I donate? Is there a button I can use?
@@user-qx2tw3fo3q you can find a button Thanks under this video! Or you can find most common way in the description under this video! Salamat!
Because we know russians are good people too!!.the example is like you..Andre🤗🇵🇭
Maka echos ka naman,lol.
They are not
Welcome to the Philippines. The country that was blessed. After Israel. God bless the Philippines.
Blessed be the NAME OF THE LORD.
👏👏👏👏👏👍
As long as you live like a local you will survive here in the Philippines. You don't need those fancy things back home or what other people dream in life as long as your happy and contented on what you have then you will survive. Don't lost hope and always pray to God for whatever things and circumstances you may encounter in a foreign country, just be a good man and you will be loved by the locals.
Salamat 😇🙏❤️
Indeed..soft hearted naman talaga Russian minamasama lang nng U.S
@@kingedwardaquino6795 no hindi kaaway ng US ang Russian. Ang gobyerno lang nila na diktador pa hanggang ngayon. Madaming Russians sa US in fact the Ukraine program na " i want to live" ay sobrang dami ng mga caller na Russians from America at tinatanong ang sitwasyon ng anak or kapatid na sapilitan pinadala ni Putin and his clowns sa frontline.
God bless i am now your new subscriber.
@@kingedwardaquino6795 Russian people is like us soft spoken and kind the only problem is their leader because of greed and power and its happening in our country. Example of a good man in Russia: "vasya in the hay" a yutuber too.
I cried along with your heartwarming story, sir. I understand that there is a similar story that tells how hundreds of Jewish people during the holocaust were also helped by the Philippines. But stories like this remind us that helping one another transcends nationalities or races; we are all brothers and sisters and we are duty-bound to assist each other especially in the most difficult times. Your story once again reminds us of our humanity.
Andrei, thank you for truly appreciating and highlighting the incomparable kindness of the Filipino People. Whether it is the People of Israel in the mid 1930's and onwards, the Russians in 1954 and onwards, and the Vietnamese in the early 1980's and onwards, Filipinos stood side by side and supported them as Refugees, even when countries turned their backs on them, and gave them help and support, at the crucial time when they needed such help and support the most.
Welcome home brother the Philippines is your home now it's the only country that welcome refugees world wide from Jewish refugees, Russian and Vietnamese giving them shelter and a home to stay and live
Most, if not all, Filipinos knows about the Tubabao refugees, so as the Jewish refugees during world war two when no countries open its door for the Jews. The Philippines took in the Vietnanese refugees too.
Filipinos KNOW not Filipinos KNOWS
That's what the Filipnos do and noted for in the world: their generosity, kindness and hospitality. They'll eagerly help anyone who are in need or desperate, perhaps because of their religious upbringing, culture and close and loving family ties. Happy to hear it from you and your Russian community and I assure you the country and its people are just glad to have helped your citizens inh their hour and days of need. Wish you the best.
Please know there are others that love the Russian people despite what our governments do or what the media does to stir up hatred towards you. We are Christians living in Australia and we love your people. I have found what you said about the Filipino people to be true. We lived across the road from a lady who immigrated to Australia from the Philippines and she was such a hard working grateful woman. Kind and had experienced great poverty and abuse, but was never bitter or resentful she was always so grateful. Such a beautiful person. God bless you - the Filipino people and the Russians. Love and many blessings from Australia
My husband and I just moved to the Philippines last month. Hope he will meet Russians here in PH 😊
Thanks for saying good words to Filipinos
Tubabao is in Samar, which is Typhoon alley. For those who are not aware, the Russians in Shanghai were considered stateless persons, and they could not travel anywhere.
Welcome to the Philippine 🎉❤🎉 enjoy the hospitality and friendly people ❤🎉❤🎉 😊
Salamat 😇🙏
I am FilCan "Jones family .. Canada" Welcome to our beloved country Philippines ..Mabuhay!!! just subscribed ..and ingat, Amping all the time..
We Filipinos are very kind and helpful❤
😇❤️🙏
Even in the time of president Quirino thousands of Refugees had saved by the President and even in the deficulties, and struggling of wars but the humbleness of his heart he decided to accept the refuge people. Filipino knows that if save one soul, like you can saved mankind. Brother accept our way of life because we are not wealthy people and I appreciated you and we support you in our capabilities.
Russians or not , all are welcome in the Phillippines, mabuhay !
Yup! We have plenty of societal BS in the Philippines for sure, but racism and xenophobia (despite the efforts of certain parties to stoke it) is NOT a thing!
GOD BLESS U BROTHER AND UR FELLOW RUSSIANS HERE IN THE PHILIPPINES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.............MORE POWER TO YOUR CHANNEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you andrei for appreaciting our countrY and us pilipinos.
Salamat 😇🙏
Hinding hindi ka magsisisi sa bansang iyong pinili kapatid. Welcome na welcome lahat ng Russians sa Pilipinas kahit na anong lahi pa.
even Putin???? NO
@@TFSIChristmas Yes even Putin he is a friend of Duterte !
I was teary-eyed when you said that the Filipinos are the most kindest people in the world🥲Thank you for that compliment, it’s the first time I ever heard, maayong buntag and ingat ka po ❤️
Salamat 😇🙏
i just hope, filipino kindness will not be taken for granted or taken advantage of those foreigners who have bad intentions.😊
Thank you very much Andrey for reminding the world about how the Filipinos helped thousands of Russians who fled from communism. I have read about this as this is part of our history. Like how we helped the Russians, we also did this to the Vietnamese who fled from the war and communism. This is who we are as a people. I hope you enjoy your stay in the Philippines. Good luck.
Trojan horse. Next there will be tanks from Poo-tin to liberate them and grab territories from Philippines under pretext of ruzzian-speaking population.
I think Andre is the collect spelling. Russia is not a communist anymore. Russian Pres. Putin have conflict between the President of Ukraine. Long, long time ago Ukraine was a part of Union Soviet Socialist Republic. But they separated from the previous president. They were all Russian.
Please do not forget that Philippines was the only country who accepted the Jews fleeing Germany during WWII. Nobody or country did so.
Also the Jews that escaped Nazi persecution before the outbreak of WWII
and Jaws from Holocust.
Jews, Russians, Vietnamese sought refuge here. In fact when I was in Boston in 1995- I met a Vietnamese-American who stayed in Palawan prior moving to the US
But now Chinese killing our soldiers because we cannot afford to fight back those pirates because of our weak technologies.
It was a moving tribute of how kind the Filipinos are ,thank you for appreciating our values that we are so proud of. In behalf of my countrymen I would say welcome Andrie and good luck! Enjoy the best of your life!
Salamat! 😀🙏
we Filipinos may never be wealthy but we are rich in values and faith for humanity. we always uphold lives more than everything else even sacrificing our own if necessary. :)
I salute to mr Putin he is strong leader .. I love russian people ❤🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺slava russia 💪💪
@@Filipinezwelcome, we filipinos are always valued humanity and we are all christians, our heart easy to touch every time we see our fellow or foreign people asking for help, and we believed that kindness is the key to make world better place
Thank you Sir Andrei for seeing the beauty of the Philippines our country. Though in so many ways many of the foreigners who set foot on our dear native land never see that the greatest treasure they can see in every Filipinos the meet are not wrapped in material things they usually see in their own land but in the hearts of every man and woman they know and encounter with as they travel and explore the lands of Philippine archipelago. Thank you for your appreciation and God bless you more in discovering the peace loving Filipinos.
Salamat! 😇🙏
Salamat sau sir andrei.. ingat please? God speed
This the reason that russian will help the philippines if china will bring war on us pilipino you will defend the philippines because this country is your second land to go and live.because pilipinos will accept every russian yesterday , today and tommorow...we love russian...
Russians are always welcome to the Philippines. We Filipinos love human beings. We welcome everyone in need. Enjoy your stay in the Philippines. Stay healthy and blessed. Filipinos love Russians. ❤❤❤
Eeew except for Putin
@@karinabeltran5477except toxic Filipino like you.
Thank you Andrey for sharing this beautiful story! I knew about Jewish refugees from Poland going to the Philippines during WWII, but I did not know about the Russian refugees in the 1950s.
I was born in Manila, grew up in California, and now professional pianist. I had Russian teacher, he was an excellent teacher (!), and fantastic pianist, he grew up during Soviet era around 1950s/60s. He told me many interesting stories - yes life was hard, but it also taught him many things. He said talent is not everything, you must also work hard. He was a composer, was a student of Aram Khatchaturian. He used to perform on television back in Moscow. He eventually came to the U.S.
You’re a very kind soul Andrey!
спасибо и всего вам наилучшего.
Salamat Po for choosing Philippines to stay ❤ & peace for all❤
And for someone who is just a few months living here, you have learned the basics of our language which means appreciation of our culture and way of life. Very nice.
The only way I could help you, Andrey, is not to skip ads. In that way you could get additional money from UA-cam. Goodluck!
Salamat 😇🙏❤️
@@Filipinez way sapayan (welcome) !
It was an honor for us Filipinos to help all those who needs help...the Russians, the Israelis, the Koreans, anyone as long as we could.
Our happiness is to help and make them realize that you don't need to be a super power country to help other's. That love,respect and faith in humanities are more important.
I am happy as a filipino to see people from other countries who want to go for a walk here in our country philippines and they are happy to see the beautiful scenery here in our country
Everyone is welcomed here as long as they know how to enjoy their red horse responsibly and not being greedy over the karaoke mic. здоровье !! Welcome to the islands Andrey!
Inspite of the Philippines as victim of colonialism in the past by the Spaniards, Americans and Japanese. The country still extends a helping hand to foreign countries in need even though they themselves do not have much. That says a lot how kind the Filipinos are.
It is not so, it is not a victim, no matter what, Spain was so many countries colonize not only Philippines as well. Mexico and Argentina are also former Spanish colony back then and also South America. Some Spaniards are good, they educate native or Indios and bring them Christianized and introduce Education, culture, Arts and tradition. Most Filipinos are mestizos. British, French and Portugueze also many countries by colonized by them.
Salamat 😇🙏

Proud Filipino here 💪;thank you for appreciating our humble country god bless you n ur welcome .new subscriber here watching here in Lebanon (ofw).
That's my country! 🇵🇭 A friend to all, an enemy to none. 🇵🇭
🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳
To all russians nationalities welcome to the philippines..thank u for your big appreciation of our country and its beautiful nature ..
we filipinos are happy being friendly to other nationalities..may godbless u all..
The story is very enteresting..keep safe to all
there's a small russian community in dumaguete, as well
it's sad that sociopolitical conflicts have continuously change and ravage the landscape of some nations leading to diaspora
what matters in this world will always be about openness, welcoming, respect, tolerance, social integration, and so many other good & positive values you can think of
those are time-tested values that really work wonders
at the end of day (wherever we are in this world), all we ever want is to live stable, secure, peaceful, happy and hopeful
Millions of Filipinos work and live outside the Philippines because of economic reason. Them because of War and mandatory military service which many of them doesn't support. So to many Ignoramus out there. Think of your OFW!!! We have the same flight like Mr. Andrei. While you are savoring the fruits of the $ we sent we are breaking our backs working 2-3 jobs in other countries to keep your economy floating.
This is so hard, 😢
History repeats itself in your country. I can't believe it. Yes our ancestors were gone now but the heart they showed to your people happened long time ago. You can stay as long as you all want there. We maybe poor and have nothing to offer but peace, freedom and sunshine in the shores and mountains. That's called Hope. Many Chinese business men that build big malls there have the same flight like yours. Good luck, stay safe and God bless Brother.❤❤ ❤❤
Just subscribed Andrej. I worked as a teacher here in Sweden and we have pupils from different parts of the world, including your country and Ukraine. We are all brothers. When the war is over, I promised myself to spend one summer in Ukraine, school related-volunteerism. I am happy that you are in the Philippines - my country of origin. I am touched by your video clip. Salamat.
Da!!!Filipinos are very kind indeed with the foreigner,God bless your life in the Philippines.
We pilipino are God fearing and God's law abiding although not perfect but we prepare peace, ,
It's all about people not politics, , I read some news of Russian who are deforted out of Bali Indonisia for being rude, , God lead your way in Philippines and all others with Good heart
Be humble and keep perseverance, , in our humble country, , ,following from general Santos city
Salamat 😇🙏
Thanks for appreciating our culture...enjoy and have fun...GOD BLESS Mabuhay!!!
Yes, the Philippines is a very welcoming country to all nationalities. They don't require much other than respect their laws and live peacefully. I hope your people would be given refugee status and given a chance to work in the Philippines considering what is happening right now in Russia.
Salamat 😇🙏
In Russia? How about what is happening now in Ukraine?
@@JS-fd5oh No one is discounting what is happening in Ukraine. We know what the Russian government and military is doing in Ukraine. Ukraine has the support of the US and all of the EU countries as well as many countries of the world. In fact, here in the US, all Ukrainians are given Temporary Protected Status as soon as they set foot on US soil but not Russians. We need to differentiate between the Russian government and people who support the war in Ukraine and the Russians who are against the war. Here in California, Ukrainians and Russians live next to each other and there is no animosity between them because they are all against the war in Ukraine.
The Russians who fled Russia want nothing to do with the war and just want to live in peace with the rest of the world. I want the peace loving Russians to know they can feel safe in the Philippines and not worry about being forced to fight in a war they do not support.
@@darwinmendoza7061 I'm glad that you can share positive vibes. I experienced different attitude in new Jersey for example Russian ladies in a coffee shop were deliberately in front of a Ukrainian refugee couple loudly discussing their discomfort and why nobody supports "their Russian soldier boys" "suffering" in Ukraine. Not very peaceful huh.
@@JS-fd5oh That is sad. Many Russians fighting in Ukraine are only fighting because their troops behind them will shoot them if they don't. Some Russian soldiers will deliberately raise white flags when confronted by Ukrainian soldiers because they don't want to die for Putin. I know there are many Russian special forces in Mexico because they don't support what their government is doing in Ukraine. I am thankful I haven't seen such hate between the Russians and Ukrainians in California.
You deserve or welcome to live in our country Philippines. You're such a kind Russians guy. So, thanks for patronizing our country. Praying for your safety. God bless you always. Mabuhay.❤
You are very most welcome Andrey I've been watching your channel and i like and appreciate your comments about our country. you are a good guy and you deserve to stay in our Country as long as you desire.

Hi Andrei , First time I watch some of your vloog in the Philippine in Samal Islands. Yes I've heard about the story of The Russian refugge before who lived there. We pilipino are always helping People who in need! That is one of our inherritage and Tradition. I hope you enjoyed your stay in the Philippines. ❤🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Oh wow! I didn't even know about this. Thanks for sharing this. I have Russian friends while living in NYC and they were always nice to me.
😇🙏❤️
Filipinos are the most welcoming people on earth. No matter
What nationality you are, Filipinos will embrace you with open arms. ❤❤❤
I was teary eyed listening to your stories
😇🙏
You are very welcome and your stay is also appreciated....Hope you can continue spreading the world how the hospitality of the Filipinos is part of their culture and Filipinos will always help and share even if they consider them poor but Filipinos heart is pure and unselfish.
Thanks much Andrei for feeling at home in my beloved country Philippines…. appreciating the kindness and hospitality of the Filipino people…. wishing you joy, happiness and peace in your new found land the Philippines…. 🙏God’s guidance for a better life living in my beautiful homeland Philippines.
Thanks for all the kind words for us Filipinos❤! I appreciate it. No skip ADS for u
Filipinos will always accepting to those who are not hostile against them (China)
😇🙏
🇷🇺We are more than just allies we are brothers ✊🇵🇭
Allies to the people not to the government whos been killing a lot of ukrainians for a year. Not to mention sending young russians lads to their deaths. Putin is crazy and horrible person. He needs to go asap. To a place where he can hurt anyone both ukrainians and russians.
A democracy such as the Philippines espouses freedom and equality among all and does not discriminate peoples of other nations and religion. Welcome and wishing you all the best this country offers!
This popped up in my suggested feed after watching Buhay ni Tal vlog on How Filipinos Saved Jewish People. This Filipino trait is something to be proud of.
So sad because of the sanctions you cannot inter to other countries but only Philippines are open and accept you. thank you Philippines for being so nice mabuhay.
Salamat 😇🙏
Southeast Asia (Singapore aside) have NOT joined the sanctions bandwagon at all...
Maraming salamat Sergei for saying kind words towards us filipinos. We will always be friends no matter what.
Thank you brother for your kind words to the Philippines. Keep safe and God bless always.
The Philippines is a small country but we welcome everyone of good intention. Yeah, Filipinos have been tagged along with hospitality and friendly culture, but still stay safe and enjoy your stay. Living here in a hot condition requires family, friends and fun fun fun. Stay cool and God bless!
we help Jews when no one wanted to help them during WW2, we help South Koreans during 1950’s on their war. this country and its people are always open. welcome to the Philippines !!! regardless of race and color, here we are one !!!
Ohhh my teary eyes while watching and listening… God bless you always and enjoy staying our country ❤❤❤
You are all welcome as long as you love to stay in our country... NO MATTER HOW HARD LIFE IS IN THE PHILIPPINES BUT, WE CAN ASSURE TO ALL PILIPINOS ARE KIND HEARTED HAPPY PEOPLE... GOSBLESS YOU ALL SIRS AND MAMS
Filipinos are peace loving people and no matter what race or country your from, everyone is always welcome. Russians are welcome in the Philippines as well Ukrainians and even Chinese.

Yeah we Filipinos are very loving people especially to the foreigner, That Is why Filipinos are different compare to other country. Even now on what happen In two country Russian and Ukraine, But right now your always welcome again in our country many Russians and Ukraine leave their country. Russian are not Welcome In other country right now But we accept you with both hands and live a Peacefull life In that island. 🥰❤👍👍
SE Asia is largely a welcoming part of the world! Our historical experience as a crossroads and a mixing point is something we all share in common!
Thanks for appreciating our hospitality ❤❤❤
Wow, this is an amazing story. I didn't know this had happened. I'm glad you love our country and our people. God Bless you my friend

Praying for all Russians and other foreigners now living in the Philippines ! May the Lord bless and sustain you always ! ❤️🙏
Philippines is a very welcoming country. Great to know that you find refuge in the Philippines. Stay safe all of you.
The same with the(jews) known as boat people long ago,when the state of israel doesnt still yet exist we too allowed them to dock,because no country will allow them..anyway you make our heart big,thank you,thank you Andrei,you and any Russians are so welcome...🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
Welcome to our country Andrei!..thanks for appreciating Philippines❤️
Salamat 😇🙏
True...because Filipino's are kindhearted people...💖💖💖
Throughout history, the Philippines has helped a lot of refugees. The Jews during world war 1 and 2, the Vietnamese during Vietnam war, etc.
😇🙏❤️
Also the Chinese fleeing frm MaoTseTung... majority to Taiwan, others to the Phils.
Teary eyes when watching this. Very proud for being Filipino. This is the first time I heard this story.
Thank you for sharing this very heartwarming piece of history, you made our fellow Filipino feel proud and appreciated. May your experiences in the Philippines, and also experiences of Filipinos from you will become another great history. Mabuhay Kaibigan!
Hope you’re enjoying the Philippines! Thank you for coming over!
I wish you a safe and happy life in the Philippines together with your Russian friends. Thank you for sharing your life in the Philippines for us no longer residing in the country. Take care and greetings from Vegas.
Daghang Salamat Andrey for loving the Philippines. Amping Always!!!❤❤❤

It's not just towards Russians, we believe in general kindness and brotherhood as community. We hope to influence others in a good way. Sandugo (one blood) and bayanihan (communal heroism) is no longer practiced in the bigger cities but in remote places it's still alive especially in remote places in Mindanao.
Salamat 😇🙏
it's still practiced in cities. I live just an hour away from Metro Manila and I love my nieghbors. They call me when the delivery riders are downstairs. I am able to talk with people in the community even if we don't know each other's names and they live in a different block.
@@Filipinez it's our pleasure. God bless you and your comrades.
Remember the Jews who fled Germany, no country wanted to accept them, ONLY THE PHILIPPINES. Am proud of our country, culture, moral and spiritual values.
@@tenztaeza3707 Yes. I've seen another vlogger The Traveling Clatt talked about on how the Philippines saved the Jews.
