    Life is wonderful in the Phillipines when you have money. All you have to do is step out of the rich areas to see the real everyday struggles of the filipino people.

      This exactly. Its so easy to show the developed and tourist areas of the Philippines in videos but you just have to take a few steps out of the rich areas to see what the country really looks like.

      YEp. Correcto Mudo there Ramtech. dON'T GET ME WRONG, tHE pHILIPPINES IS A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY..FOR VISITING. bUT IF YOU ARE A FOREIGNER THINKING ABOUT LIVING THERE, yOU'D BETTER STICK TO THE URBAN AREAS AND HAVE PLENTY OF MONEY. Many people in outlying baranguys and provinces are barely making it. People forget, The PI is a third world country. In many places there are a lack of amenities like fresh drinking water, Toilet facilities, basic sanitation and medical treatment. All that glitters over there is NOT GOLD. Be careful. As an American, you are seen as $$$. Don't forgewt that. I lived in the PI for 2 yrs. When I got back to the USA, I kissed the ground. Glad to be back home.

      In an office setting, young Filipinos in PH are not so polite to fellow Filipinos coming from the States. I experienced this twice -- once as an observer hearing from two Fil-Ams being treated as an "other" in an office setting and another time, experiencing this years later myself when I worked there. Outside of the office setting, Filipinos are friendly and hospitable. In an office environment, you're considered a threat, which I understand as jobs are not easy to get and my presence was probably perceived as a threat. The unusual thing was that the white person I worked with was treated in a special manner, like she was a celebrity.

    Here(but not all), we already knew when they, example there's an occasion , they'll set 7 am as start but always starts late like 8/9, always like that, so in our minds it's like planted that we'll not get late if we prep at 7 and arrive at 8/9😁(bad habbit).

    I love foreigners who can blend in and who will not create superiority and aggressiveness.

Filipinos can be mean sometimes seeing those wearing traditional clothes, especially among Africans and East Asians eg. Indians, Pakistans, etc. Also, Islamic clothing is not at all pleasing since the Philippines in general is a Catholic nation. The last is, to set a good example. If you some practices by the locals that are not good let them see you setting up a good example and rest assured they will follow you.

    You just interview a foreigner who is living in the metro with fancy restaurant, high rise building, modernize and clean environment in the background. How ever that's the good side of the Philippines. Next time try to interview a foreigner living here in the Philippines who has normal life like living in the slum,near smokey mountain and see the difference
