You know every country has good points and negative points. I’m glad knowing about the Philippines more😊
I’m proud of the Philippines and want to have more experiences in the Philippines 😆💗 Mana’s FB: facebook.com/profile.php?id=100052837861540&mibextid=YMEMSu please follow my Facebook ☺️
Young lady, please do not get tattoo, because our body is God's temple-meaning sacred. In the Christian bible it says, "You shall not etch tattoo on yourself. You are my temple, therefore, do not make my temple filthy."
I like your video.
In Philippines, the Catholic Priests says, "The Mass is finish, so go forth and multiply" (tapos na ang missa, kaya humayo kayong lahat at mag pakarami).
This is the reason why I love Catholics, and this is the reason why our population is high.
Hi Mana. What internet connection do you currently use? I would like to help you, if I can. 😊
@@ethiehetherington5086 That's very true.
I'm Japanese and I also live in the Philippines. Everything you say here is true. But at the end of the day, I love living in the Philippines!
I want to move too but i'm too poor🤣
Such a good vibes..The nature are so green..☺️
👍
Well said Mana for loving my country 🇵🇭
It's okay Mana. You're just only honest about what you experience.
please don't hate mana she's literally spitting facts about Philippines😂
Huwag kayo magalit sakany... nagsasabi lang naman siya ng tutoo it is her honest opinion..sana maging open minded sa mga nagcocoment sakanya..
Walang magagalit sa iyo.totoo naman na sobrang napaka hina ng signal sa pinas.masasabi ko sa internet sa pinas putang ina ang internet sa pinas.walang kwenta ang internet sa pinas
Wala naman nambabash sa kanya pinapangunahan mo lang po.
@@fluffy5904 sure ka ba?
Yes, Mana-San is just expressing her subjective viewpoint even if it is a flaw and problems of the Philippines, just like what other foreign vloggers will say the same thing. I hope most Pinoys seeing this will not be sensitive and freak out about this observation from an foreign tourist like Mana-San. At least she's been polite in saying these situation✌✌✌
don't be sorry for the poor internet connection in Phil.. we are actually also mad about that as well. lots of memes (jokes) in social media are made because of that. with regards to the traffic jam, most filipinos wake very very very early just to get a time allowance just incase the traffic jam gets worst on the way. thanks for the honest and kind review by the way Mana! ✨
Too slow yet too expensive. And telcos know people will still suck it up. That's why they do anything to go against foreign companies investing here in PH.
@@soulscyther666 now that hurts
It would be a good thing for you and other Japanese vloggers to help bring in and popularize Japanese culture and habits like cleanliness, promptness and organization so that these could be adopted in the Philippines. Thank you Mana for reminding people of what could be done better for everyone's benefit.
Colonial mentality at its finest. Di mo ba kaya gawin magisa ng walang udyok ng foreigner? Ganun ka ba ka-inutil? 🤦🏻
Thank you Mana Chan for cuddle the philippine culture and thank you for choosing to live here❤😊
The philippines is actually bigger than people think and can easily accomodate the whole population without overcrowding. The main issue is, most job opportunities are in NCR so people all over the country are going to Metro Manila, making it very congested and overpopulated. What the government need to do is provide incentives or benefits for companies to have their headquarters outside of Manila so people wont need to be so concentrared in one region.
Hi Mana, I'm full Filipino by blood, but born and raised in America and you point out things I've noticed as well. I love going back home, though! Despite the Internet and other things, the Philippines is always an amazing time. I'm happy you enjoy it there, I'm going again in January. Until then, I'll check in your channel for a taste of the Philippines 😊
Hello my cousin is also a full blooded Filipino. He lives in Hawaii USA. And everyyear he always visiting us here in the Philippines .My cousin can speak tagalog language fluently like a native one.😊😊
Thank you Mana-Chan for being honest about our country.
She is honest enough to be talking about basic societal problems in the Philippines, and yet still sincerely positive about them.
Thanks for this video!
私は日本に5回行ったことがありますが、最後に行ったのは昨年の10月でしたので、あなたの意見はよくわかります。
これからも私たちの国で快適で楽しい滞在を過ごしていただけることを願っています。
You think and observe like a true filipino. We do share same sentiments about the concerns of our country. So all of what youve said are true and correct.
Tourists always complaining about the Internet but nothing has been done. Yes the slums, they are so poor and many kids. The living conditions ??????????????
Thank you, Mana for loving the Philippines!
I think Mana’s english is getting better and better. Keep it up Mana
Thank you for noting this. 🙂 For myself, I was completely surprised to learn that Manahello speaks English well.
I first "discovered" her speaking Taiwan style Chinese and thought she was from Taiwan. Then I found out she is actually Japanese.
I am loving this post about the Philippines 🇵🇭 .
Thank you Ate Mama appreciate the Philippines we love you stay pretty and kind your vlog full of good vibes
Sometimes it’s better to hear the truth from someone who’s from outside because it makes it more real. Everything that Mana said is on point. No bias, just pure honest opinion.
I like how transparent Mana is in her blogs. Keep it up Mana. We love you!
Thanks mana san for your honest opinion, and me as a Filipino really appreciate it. The problem with overcrowding and traffic jam is because the development is mainly focused on Metro Manila and not so much development was done on nearby provinces for many decades. There are also a lot ongoing transportation projects like additional railway system and even a subway system with the help of the Japanese government. But evenso, this transportation projects were also finished if the development on National Capital Region nearby provinces will not go into full swing, it will still be the same traffic congestion. And i was really touch with your sentiments about the gap of the rich and poor, and this is really true. You're really an adopted daughter of this country mana-san and even with the negative side of this country, we hope you will still enjoy staying with us, because we Filipinos value friendship like a precious crystal, unbreakable.
I'm a Philippine born Japanese that grew up in America. I have been living in Japan (Tokhoku) for the past 8 years. I received my tattoos during my military service. My parents wasn't just surprised, they thought I became a gangster! I found tattoo friendly onsens in Aomori-ken & Tokyo. My parents no longer think I'm a gangster. My mother just calls me "asshole marine" even though I was an army officer. Eventually I'll visit the Philippines again.
at least you got a badass nickname out of it 😂
Mana, you are spot on!! Thanks for loving our backwards country. We wish to be as prosperous as Japan one day.
Keep spitting facts about the Philippines and don't be shy or scared because we don't need content creators who only know the good things about the Philippines. 💯🔥
Funny enough im not from neither country but i have also learned about the good & bad about both countries but have seen that many Asians enjoy PH since it's more relaxed culture. Mana's personality fits great with PH culture
Good job. I came from the Philippines. People of the Philippines must reduce corruption and poverty. To improve inequality and infrastructure. There’s currently too much focus on the luxuries. Making it more of a playground for the rich.
Thank you for loving our Country Philippines, Mana San. I love you Mana❤️❤️❤️
Someday will hear you talk in tagalog also. I love the discipline of japanese, i learned much in technology. Thank you for staying with us, knowing japan ng philippines can be friends in asia.
Thank you Mana-san for your honest opinion it's been a huge problem of the Philippines regarding traffic and internet
I love watching you Mana and for being straightforward.
Thank you mana for putting things lightly... Love your channel BTW.. always so kind to Philippines
Thank you, Mana. You're so brave ans honest about us. Keep it up!!! ❤❤❤❤
Salamat po 🥹🥰
Thank you ate Mana for Choosing the Philippines ❤❤
u again? i always saw u in jessica's video the korean vlogger
Thank you for watching as always 😊
@@aaronkylearador9253sinusundan mo yta sya😅
Your grasp of the english language is so good compare to pre-covid time. Omg. Congrats! 😊
Omg this was actually the best episode ever
stay the way you are... you dont need to follow the trend. just keep making honest contents. good or bad share it...❤
The way you say JAM is so cute Mana! 🥰
I admire your broad mindedness and realization in living to both different countries; pointing out both negative and positive traits in your cute way of explanation.
Way to go, Mana. ❤
The youthful population makes the Philippines fun and resilient.
Thank you, Mana-chan!
I agree with you! You've been really kind and honest.
Your opinions are valid, and they are very on point. Sometimes It's good to see Vlogs like this, foreigners' honest opinions about the Philippines, for us to IMPROVE on our shortcomings that we Filipinos thought to be normal and acceptable.
Keep up the good work Mana, never give up. Stay safe and God bless.
Great video. A great job it's important to voice out your honest opinions so that other people can share their view points which help you understand and gain interesting knowledge . As for internet connection there are many companies in the Philippines that sell the internet so it's better you check research online. You also can get portable internet when you go places far from your residence but it will be up to you.Hope you continue to enjoy living in the Philippines . Always love and blessings.
I think it is because of the ancient culture. Tribal people actually think highly of tattooed people because they don't receive tattoos without achievements.
Spanish called tribal people with tattoos as pintado (painted).
Many people are bothered by people with tattoos but the younger generations think nothing of tattoos
But of course people don't speak about it and ignore the tattoos. It is about generation differences.
i know how frustrating it is to have a slow internet connection in the philippines. that's one of my gripes when im on vacation in the philippines. i cannot believe how people are paying alot of money for a slower and unreliable(at times) internet connection. glad you have this on your list. love your videos!
Hi mana i'm filipino currently living here in ireland. You're right.. But i love and miss my country..
hi, mana! you are on point! i love your vlogs and thank you for choosing and staying here in the philippines.
thank you for your honesty, it’s what we need to improve the lives here
Tattoos are part of our Filipino Heritage and Culture, which is probably why its widely accepted here. In some places in the PH, tattoos are even celebrated.
She is just telling the true facts and you cant deny that.
i been living here in japan for almost 15 years, i learn so much about Japanese people, some people are rude but majority is very kind, you cannot tell the rich and poor here in Japan, rich and poor here can play together eat in the restaurant together but in The Philippines majority are friends with the same level of living, i hope to go back to Philippines and live there but for now i will enjoy my time here in Japan
You live in Japan for 15 years!!! You are my senpai 😊
@@123JAPAN ❤, but barely speak japanese 😂
yes mana everything you said is true and that's really a honest opinion,
ph and jp have good and bad things and it's like kinda opposite culture,
i also know some japanese that have tattoos and not all of them are member of gangs or yakuza in japan,they just want a tattoo for being unique having acquired the tatto culture from other countries like a design/fashion style,
here in the philippines tattoo symbolize also being a member of gangs and most of them being in jailed for a long time
but most of filipinos having a tattoo is only for fashion/style and not related to gang/frat members/prisoners
Fantastic points.....great video....keep rockin!
That,s really nice opinion Mana and you're also broad (global) minded) too. Enjoy vlogging and always love the Philippines. God Bless always...
hahaha you're very honest Mana 😂😂 that's why we appreciate you very much 😊 always keep up the good work! 😁😁
Thank you for saying that 😊 please be looking forward to upcoming vlogs as well 😍
Hi
thank you for the honest opinion. that's actually true, and it's good that you are not sugarcoating our country, unlike other vloggers who only give positive reviews to get more viewers or likes 😁
youre so lovely mana! take care always. Filipinos loves you!
hi Mana. i love your honest opinion. I envy you because you enjoy travelling and strolling here in the Philippines, which i have no guts to do 😅 because im afraid of unfamiliar places and also i don't have enough penny to spend 😅😂
by the way, all your opinions are fact 😊
Philippines 🇵🇭 is my home
my 2nd home is Japan ❤
i love Japan ❤️ 😊
but i kept coming back to my first home ❤😊
because Philippines is ❤
Thank you for saying that your second phone is Japan 😭❤️
Some day i want to go to the Philippines 👏🏾👏🏾
You get the correct points. This will help to get awareness of what to expect and what solution to do.. about tattoos before only a few people have it, due to old mental beliefs that if you have tattoos, you came from prison or more likely a criminal.. for the internet, why so slow, there are two things in my personal opinion, 1st slow due to so many people are using the network, 2nd may be the network company want to earn more profit means they are not doing the upgrade. Just for two issue at this time I give.. I am agree on your point..happy also because of this honest opinion may higher official from our government see this and they work more to develop.
All your observations are correct, most Filipinos, including myself agree 100% they are facts. I also lived in Japan for 11 years and yes, I say the same things about Japan; very organized, very respectul and polite culture, very safe. I definitely enjoyed my experience in Japan. I also realize my observations are because of the Japanese culture that's very rules based that most people follow. The downside to that is some of those rules may be considered too rigid and and can result in someone not following them to be unfairly ostracized. Yes, there are good and not so good points about every culture and the most important thing is that you clearly love Philippine culture both it's good and bad points. Watashitachi no bunka o hyōka shite itadaki arigatōgozaimasu. Korekara mo tanoshinde kudasai.
Thank you for being honest.
Thanks. More power Mana.
Love you and your honesty which is inherent to your subjects.
It’s good you’re enjoying the culture of the Philippines…!!!👍😊❤️
Thank you mana😊❤for being honest😊🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍stay safe😊
I love the style of mana chan in vlogging… itsumo gambatte kudasaii mana chan..k..😅😊
You're very honest, thank you for sharing this thru media. I hope someone from the agency that can do something about slow internet will view/watch this because everything you said about Internet and traffic is very true. I had experience this when I was in the Philippines for a month. I'm from California but I was born in the Philippines.
Thank you for your honest opinion.💕
You’re absolutely right.
appreciate your honest observations of our country
You are not alone about the internet. The Philippines is lagging behind compared to our neighboring countries. It's improving. About traffic, hopefully, once the subway and other mass public transport and the new international airport in Bulacan are completed, traffic issues will improve significantly.
I agree with you about the population growth in the Philippines. One of the major reasons is that the country is predominantly Catholic, and birth control is frowned upon. So, we don't have a good birth control program in place. Secondly, most of us want to have more than one child, which means having the possibility of more help financially in the future and when we are old. We hope one of them can bring us out of poverty. But the downside is bringing children into poverty, adding to the financial and economic burden to the family and the community at large. There is no quick solution to the poverty and population growth in the Philippines. And I agree with you about Japan. I lived there for 3 years, and even little things such as sorting your trash correctly were stressful. I'm glad you are experiencing the local life, and I appreciate your honesty. Every country has positive and negative aspects. Have to love the positives and lived with the negatives.
Too slow yet too expensive. And telcos know people will still suck it up. That's why they do anything to go against foreign companies investing here in PH.
Mobile data in malls are dodgy. It's bcoz of the very thick concrete walls. Or, a combination of concrete walls. Our malls are all big, so many interference with the signal.
Wdym problems in population? I think, we are in our prime in terms of population control (based on numbers), with a birth rate of 2.1, we have a population that replaces itself. It's just that, it takes time to see the effects of population control economically as well as on how to effectively distribute those who give birth across different social classes. The majority of these births came from poor families who can't even provide their own basic needs.
Thank you for giving so much love to the Philippines. Arigato! 😄
I miss this culture shock honest opinion 😁🥰🥰
Thank you for liking Philippines and for your honest opinion Mana, we love you ❤ hahah... Traffic jam 7am - 9am, 5pm - 9pm hehe

Keep safe always and GODBLESS ❤😊
hope to meet you in person , also fumiya-san 😊
GODBLESS 💕
Thank you for loving my vlogs 🥰❤️
I hope so too ❤
You speak the truth Mana. As a Filipino, I also feel the same,...sadly😓. Don't feel bad about speaking negative things you see or experience in the Philippines. We can take it😆. Thanks for being honest
Thank you for visiting in the Philippines
W0w mana's english improved a lot i mean a lot
And your complaints about the pH is on point
Thank you for your honest opinion ❤😊
An honest criticism with love is like saying we still love you.
I heard from "8 miles from home" channel that internet in Japan is slower than in the Philippines. They've been to Japan. I've been to Japan (Osaka & Kyoto) too and my experience was the internet is not that fast. Im going to Tokyo next month and i will try the speed of the internet there as well.
on point 😊
Your opinion is spot on
You are so correct mana...
Tha is so so true Mana love it
I agree you are right if you like to have tattoo I recommend you henna tattoo it's not permanent you can remove it if you want thank you for loving our country 🇵🇭💓🇯🇵 you are a honest person that's why we love you mana San ❤❤❤😂
Wow..thanks for your honest opinion what you observed in my beloved country Mana..just last 3weeks ago I'm in Japan and I was so amazed as well how the people is so organized and well disciplined...and your toilet in Japan😂 wow... it's amazing 😁🤣
I love your accent, Ms. Mana. All the best!
you're so cute in explaining the negative points 😊😊
That's is our problem,
Traffic
Internet low connection
Sometime I thought I wish I have a wings to avoid getting late to work and school
😭😭😭😭 you're so blooming love youn mana💞
In my case..i use transportation for my work..my experience of rush hour is 6am-8am and 5pm-8pm..btw i live in antipolo..pls visit here if you have time ❤❤
Agree with Mana 👍 ❤
Im pinoy and pinoy culture is an open culture open to development i mean if we can make snow and winter in the Philippines our culture will have a extra season see not strict on what be added what to remove
Hi Mana. Since you're here, you should see a wedding and film it, so you could see some of the Philippine traditions that we do. So you can see. It may be a good thing. Our wedding will be in Los Angeles. So, our relatives can't complain why they didn't attend. Our wedding is in July. Weddings are a beautiful thing.
Very good points young lady. ❤❤❤
Tattoo stereotype is still like here but people don't care enough to not let you in unlike in Japan having Tattoo means like you have a connection to the Yakuzas. Here there's very a huge disparity between the social classes here which isn't good for the economy. Having a global mindset is also what's holding back PH , we have the highest workforce overseas worldwide , that includes a huge portion as mariners and the world's largest supply of nurses. Japan might need that to have a more flexible mindset due to old tradition holding it back but PH had it too much. The greatest talents in the PH doesn't benefit the country other than money as taxes if they're overseas workers. Other countries greatly benefits from these talents innovations and such as a ph engineers creating semiconductor chip that benefited one of the huge companies and the patent was done in those country , ph doesn't get benefits from it. Most great talents here go abroad to work and live there , because the country can't support them efficiently therefore most of their contributions ended up benefiting foreign countries. That's also the reason why this place is still a 3rd world country.
I love Japan.🥰. I live in Japan for two years. I study japanese all the time. I want to go back japan soon to see my japanese friends. ☺️
Hi Mana! I agree with everything you said, its still developing country but more years to come, I firmly believe that we will have ECONOMY BOOM someday. Why?
1. There are many airports that are currently developing like Manila International Airport in Bulacan that will be 1 of the biggest airport in our country soon.
2. There's a Manila Subway currently on construction that will connect to major cities like Makati and BGC.
3. There will be a next BGC in our country which is New Clark City in Tarlac that will attract many people around the world, its gonna be like a community / business hub.
4. There's gonna be a 1st cable car ongoing somewhere north, I think Isabela or Vigan city.
FYI: The internet is really slow because of geographical disadvantage, we're in an archipelago country so we have to install Cell Towers in 7,641 islands 1 by 1, its really challenging.
Our government is doing our best as much as possible. They have political will.
We are 30-40 years beyond because the previous government has not done nothing same as this new government and if the Dutertes and or the Marcoses will be running the government again, the status quo will maintain.
@@arnieljovero1008Do you mean 30-40 years behind not beyond? I agreed with your comment as PH need a different leader one day who has courage to move the country forward and improve the living standards.
@@lawrencekling8598 sorry it should be behind and not beyond. Thanks. Please note it is agree and not agreed. Thanks
The young kids in Philippines may work in your country or S. Korea or Taiwan someday. That's Filipino diaspora.
*_the story always have 2 sides. great vid mana san!_*
👍👍👍👍
Mana mana ..thats a facts in Our country..its a decade complain about internet connection ,data connection from different provider ..im not sure if the government is just sleeping ...
