  • I Will Never Be Filipino... This is just a few thoughts and feelings I have about this journey. I just thought it was about time I share a little bit with everyone here in youtube about my #BecomingFilipino journey. I thought from time to time it would be nice to get a little bit more personal and just share with YOU.
    Thank you everyone who is a part of the happiness, adventure, learning and inspiration.
    Power On.

      In Hawaii Braddah IZ would say you are Hawaiian at heart....So l would guess most Filipinos would consider you Filipino at heart!
      I have known many Filipinos and l personally think many Filipinos dont realize how great of a people they truly are....Kulas simply reminds them. Aloha nui loa Aikane

    BLAH BLAH BLAH!!! Dude, I don't know what caused you to make this video, forget about it. YOU ARE A FILIPINO! You've reminded many of us about how blessed we are to be Filipinos. You've shown us and reminded us again and again of how beautiful it is to be a Filipino. Many times we become absorbed and overwhelmed by the negative things that we face in everday life, but then again, you've reminded us of the good stuff. With that said man, I think YOU have become a blessing to us too. So YOU are a Filipino dude. Don't argue. Cheers!

    This is, by far, the most positive sit down video you created, Kulas. Meeting you in person in Cebu during the Tourism Summit made me realize the goal you have for #BecomingFilipino. Your stories and your travel adventures made me appreciate my country and promote local tourism. I can understand that very clearly. I mean, someone can never be a Filipino or any other nationality just by changing the citizenship. It's deeper and more personal. But of course, you are always welcome to becoming Filipino... Super apir, Kulas! Hope to see you again soon!

    wow so sincere, kulas i do not normally post on your channel but this video made me like you even more, even if you leave Philippines, you already made your mark as a filipino, that is right , for me you are a filipino, if i see you in Canada i will definitely say, "Kumusta ang aking kapatid na Filipino?" because you have proven to all of us that you have become a Filipino, goodluck kid and keep those videos coming.

    In the Philippines you are a commodity. We dont ask you anything else other than you living among people who care. Life is fun there, and theyd rather appreciate company than an iphoneX. Goodjob man. Filipinos work 12-18hours a day to survive, it is obvious people will not always smile to you all the time but your presence is enlightening to them. I have caucasian friends who spend their 1/4 of the life in a office cubicle waiting to die. The only luxury they have is 30 min of drinking after work. Im filipino and that is all i do here in the U.S work myself in a cold cubicle facing a wall 8-10 hours a day with 80% of my savings taken by the government. Your very lucky. I haven’t felt the warm beach sand in my callous feet for 14 years. You are filipino enjoy that feeling of freedom.

    Kulas, you've become a Filipino in many ways. Acquiring Filipino citizenship mean nothing if you don't know and experience the Filipino way of life. You don't necessarily have to be poor to experience the hardships and triumphs over adversity that most Filipinos have endured. The way you promoted and embraced the Filipino culture is like no other Filipino's business and for that, we proudly give you a key to our country and to the hearts of the Filipino people. You are now a Filipino by heart and will always be one! Mabuhay ka Kulas!

    I always knew and understand the meanig behind the words "becomingfilipino" and i knew you are proud to be canadian and that you have no intention on literaly becomig pinoy by nationality and that is good cos i believe we should always stand loyal and proud on our own country but imersing ourselves to other culture is also good. The inspiration you give us in appriciating our culture is what is important and what we always look for.

    There's really no need for you to become a true Filipino, KULAS. All you need is a heart full of positive vibes that you've learned from us Filipinos. Becoming a filipino is something beyond what foreigners like you can fully understand. But nevertheless, as a Filipino myself, i would like to thank you from the innermost chambers of my heart for trying and somewhat becoming one of us. The fact that you shared to the whole world what it feels like to be a Filipino and be able to appreciate the simplest ways on how we Filipinos see life in a positive way makes you a true Filipino by HEART.

You can't fully connect with Filipinos if you can't speak the language they've spoken their entire lives. Learn the language bro and you will understand them on an entirely new level.

His gestures, his, charm and love and admiration for Phil., its culture, nature, foods and the Filipino people he meets from whatever region are more than enough good traits to say that he's a Filipino by heart not just by tongue. I really appreciate and respect this man, he will never be a stranger in the PH👍

    The thing is, you don't need to be a Filipino if you want to enjoy the Philippines or be with the Filipinos. You're a Canadian and no one can take away that identity from you. The most important things is you appreciate the culture and you somehow promote the beautiful places of the country and it's enough for us, it means so much for us. You are now growing Kulas, and I think you are the best vlogger in the world. 😊

    Filipino or not, the Philippines is a better place with you here, Kulas. While other travel bloggers here in the Philippines go to those high class, five star hotel resorts, and eat in classy fine dining restos, which most Filipinos could not afford much more relate to. But you...you go to the barangays, far remote barrios and meet the locals. You eat with them, get drunk with them, have fun with the kids and eat in carinderias, buy things in sari-sari stores, got to the market. You show the world that ordinary Filipinos, poor and all, have beautiful life stories to tell. And you Kulas, share that to the world in a wonderful way.

He started opening becoming filipino to share love, culture and so on....he didnt ask us to support and like his blog but to share . he came from stable family and not in mind to earn something from google. its not his mistake if google will gonna pay him for his blogs. be responsible to drop words whats in thought that can hurt other or anyone. ang hirap sa inyo ang utak nyo gumagana sa judgement. tsk tsk

      Nosebleed remedy: "For me, you're Filipino. It's not in the blood, the behavior, the ethnicity, the color of your skin. It's about your self-identity - how you feel about yourself, if you've accepted being Filipino even if others say you aren't. You are more Filipino than real Filipinos! Just keep on doing what you're doing because there's nothing wrong with it."

      Most thought he's abandoning his canadian roots, which is NOT true. He's still a PROUD CANADIAN. Kinda like me with a canadian citizenship, I don't go out there and tell people "I'm Canadian." I'm still a proud Filipino no matter what I do or say.

You’re awesome, Kyle. I just started following you and the other fighter boys vlogs in the last year when I came across a beautiful video of the Philippines by Finn. You’re all very inspiring. Love your positivity and how it just spreads to everyone around you. Glad you’re enjoying the PI. I haven’t been there since 2007.

    Positivity, respect, humility, generosity, family and appreciation. These are qualities that you have, Kulas and this is what makes you Filipino in our hearts. You summed it up perfectly, "becoming" is a journey, it's a process. Those of us who are Filipino can only aspire to be better Filipinos. You sir have inspired many of us to reflect inward to figure out what it truly means to be Filipino and how to be the best possible version of ourselves, Kulas. So for that, we thank you!

    What I understand to what you said about you, becoming a Filipino is like you trying to live like a Filipino, interact like a Filipino. I personally appreciate the great things you've said about our country. And you know what, you have been part of the lives of the Filipinos from where you are staying and that means you are somehow a Filipino. Maybe not a natural born but a Foreigner with a touch of a Filipino heart.
    You are inspiring. :)

I still think and feel as Filipino, my ways maybe a little westernized but my heart will always be Filipino. Being one is not being born there, it’s how you feel in your heart when you are around them and understanding the culture and respect for their mores and taboos. Kulas you are a Filipino in more ways than you will ever know. Kudos for loving our country!
