If Filipinos ever took over Canada - Christmas would last from August to January.
Lol
I thought Christmas was the "bers".....like September through December.
surferdude44444 but people won't take down their Christmas decorations until March.
🤣🤣
close... it actually starts in september.
I have been married to a Filipina for almost 30 years and I am still amazed at her work ethic. It is very clear that when she retires from her job next year, they will find it very difficult to replace her. One of my pet names for her is "super wife".
That's amazing. 😃
Lucky u!!!
Same here I’ve been happily married to a Canadian-filipina for 18 years. “ If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, make a Filipina your wife! “ 👍
Warren Smith good for u sir godblessed u and ur wife♥️🇵🇭
Some Filipina mom is a darna equivalent to wonder woman 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The same facts and situations apply here in Australia. We simply love Filipinos and welcome them above many other cultures who simply do not assimilate as easily. Filipinos adapt, whilst still proudly showing their own proud culture. They are honest, religious and yes, hard working. The women are simply gorgeous and remain feminine, which makes for a perfect wife and mother. Unfortunately, its not easy for them to come here. Aussies love Filipinas!
😃😃
This is wonderful! Thank you. I've been in Australia in 2015, it's a nice place really. Hello from Philippines
Wow thanks for those compliments!!!
wow! just wow! thank you, you made me proud!!!😊🤗 im a filipina married to an awesome aussie😉 thank you for appreciating us filipinos, we are also known for our hospitality...everything that he said in this video are all true👍👊
Thank you sir for for knowing athers culture
“Pakikisama” is ingrained in Filipino culture. It means to live in harmony with others, no matter who they are. Our dignity as a person depends on how good we are at maintaining good relationships with other people.
I like Filipinos
@@ocahkipihikew I'm sorry you had to witness this behavior from someone from my culture. Sadly growing up, I've witnessed this behavior even from elders who should know better. A lot of us don't know our full history or have been fed portions of it to distort the truth of our colonialism and are bred to be model minorities. While learning to be an ally for the Indigenous groups in Canada (which means learning about history especially the ones intentionally overlooked- ie. residential schools, lack of justice missing women) I discovered similar experiences within Filipino history. We also fought and we also lost and we did what we can to adapt. I'm proud to be Filipino and see our potential beyond being polite immigrants and servants and that growth goes hand in hand by becoming strong allies with Indigenous, Black, and other groups experiencing discrimination.
@@ocahkipihikew that's very unfortunate.and I am so sorry this happened to you. I'm Filipino and I personally feel that indigenous Canadians and Americans to be my ancestral brothers and sisters. And treat them the same way I treat other Filipinos. I see many similarities in regards to culture as well as appearance. And I really care about the community and it's well being. Most Filipinos will treat others well. But unfortunately not all Filipinos are as open minded or as accepting as others. I know very well that one bad experience with one particular racial group can ruin a person's perspective on the entire racial group. Many are susceptible to it. Born and bred Canadians in urban areas like Toronto and Vancouver less so but for immigrants who have very little exposure to other people groups are the most susceptible. I love in rural Ontario a place where immigrants are less than 3% of the population and as a Filipino I behave extra well as to not ruin the Filipino image even though I speak ,talk, and walk like any other Caucasian Canadian having lived in Canada since I was 7. I even curse and say full send as much as the average hockey boy but cause of my skin colour I have to represent an entire country to the people around me in my everyday life.
@@ocahkipihikewI’m so sorry that happened, but if you don’t mind, do you know who that McDo manager is bychance?
i am malaysian and my wife is a philipino. what you say is true about them. they are not just the perfect immigrants but the perfect bunch of what humans should be...kind, loving, God fearing, adaptive, friendly and true. they smile alot too......straight from the heart. i know most of them are christians but the muslims of the south carry the same genes of niceties. they are not perfect but they are a blessing to us all. proof is everywhere around the world on all professions: doctors, nurses, IT programmers, engineers, mariners/seamen, domestic helpers, carpenters, electricians...the whole shebang.
😃😃
Such a nice message
thanks for the good comment about us Filipinos Bugsy, you too is truly an amazing Malaysian loving a filipina lady....
When we Filipinos Work or Immigrate to other countries, we mostly just do 4 things: Accept, Adapt, Assimilate/Blend and Survive.
wow that's great, thanks Jeremiah for doing those 4 great things... acceptance, adaption, assimilation and survival. NICE
This is very true hahahaha 😂😂
Wow thank you.
thats very true
And Filipino gays like me want to give head to hot caucasian guys so badly lol
Filipinos are not gonna change Canada even the population will reach 60 %, you know why because filipinos respect your country, they understood that they are immigrants therefore we will be the one who will adjust and adapt your culture. When we go back to the Philippines now we adjust again and adapt our own culture. Same when you visit our country ( Philippines) you have to respect our culture. 🤗
😃😃
The Filipino National Hero Dr. Jose P. Rizal once said "The Filipino is Pliant Like a Bamboo, bends on high winds but springs back when the storm has passed."
They are everywhere and there very nice people and hard working! Let them come! Seems like good canadian traits to me!
Very well said 😮 We have the same line of thinking 😊 We Filipinos are so thankful because Canada allowed Filipinos to live and work there.
@Daemone Nympheus damn speak for yourself! Im canadian and I think there nice hard working people. Ignorant people like you are what we dont need in canada, so maybe you should just leave and take the PM with you on the way!
Nice video. Your comments apply equally in Australia. I'm an Aussie and I know several Philippine families - simply the best friends one could have!
😃😃
Thank you, hi from Philippines
Thank you
I am a Filipino and thanks Brian for a good comment.
Brian Heard thank u sir♥️🇵🇭
Filipinos are a great fit for Canada because Canada historically is reputed for being a peace keeping nation...polite and caring in general and God fearing. By model, family is key and respect for their neighbours is a trait shared by both nations. Filipinos will never insult a host nation by trying to impose their ways, but rather assimilate themselves because entitlement is not in their vocabulary... They earn their keep and they work hard to earn respect. I'm not saying all, but by comparison to some other immigrants...a much higher percentage.
That's great! Thanks for your comment! 😃
@screwanimalabusers why?
We Filipinos are being thankful to Canada government for being kind-hearted, for giving us the opportunity to work which helps to improve our way of living, and for being so welcoming to Filipinos. Thank you very much. God bless you Canada as well.
😃😃
I think Filipinos make good immigrants
I'm South Korean and in my business days before my retirement had many Filipino employees and eventually friends. Filipinos are wonderful people, they are hard working, family oriented, very religious, and good loyal friends. They are also excellent English speakers and can assimilate well in many Western cultures. They are usually great immigrants.
Actually Filipinos Cultures nowadays More on a Western Culture in a in Thier own ways Majority of Thier Culture are Americanized When it Comes on Values and Religions They have a Spanish Culture or A Similar Culture from Mexico
The Rest Asians
But to think The Philippines and The Filipinos has it's own Identity Problem Whatever They are
Asian or Western Pacific Islander
Whatever the US Cencus Tells the Filipinos are Asians but That Decision Dosen't Give the Answer The Study of The Cencus has not Enough Evidences to Answer Such Issues so
The Philippines has Still the Identity Crisis
Based on the Historical Event
Over A Million Mexican And Thousands of European Families has Been Migrating to The Philippines Since 1500's and Filling up the Population of the Island
the Filipinos has also a Hispanic Identity
I love what you're doing here sir, in spreading the knowledge about Filipinos and Canada. I am married to a Filipina, and am writing a book about pinays. I feel Filipinos are changing the face, and future of Canada - and that is AWESOME!! I have no pinoy blood, but my heart belongs to these heroic people. We can learn a lot from the kind, caring people from the Philippines. Keep coming and making Canada strong! Mahal kita. :) - Blazer
😃😃
a Filipino here and overwhelm with your comments and reaction guys, such amazing people like you is well loved by Filipinos. thanks for all those positive comments. You really bring us to the world.
i have teary eyes with your comments and everyone else here, thank you.
*Mahal din kita.*
I would like to get one if you’re done with your book!😄
You are totally right, I am living in the middle east there is many Filipinos workers .... they are hard working, good educated, very respectful for the laws in the country, good English speakers, most of them stay out of troubles, they focusing on doing their jobs only ........ finally they are nice people .
😃😃
Excuse me, how about Vietnamese in Canada? Highly appreciate your comment.
thanks for that good comment bro about us Filipinos, you're amazing.
Azoz Boj change 'is' to are ty
totally agree with you. .
Not just in Canada, they are perfect immigrants all over the globe. Place them in any country, they'll learn the language and culture in a year.
😃😃
Truly indeed!
Agree I work and Taiwan I learned to speak mandarin, now I work in Spain I can speaks spaneol
Very true sir l just been barely 5years in saudi Arabia but lm speaking conversational arabic in which a very difficult language to learn.
Yeaa
if Filipinos will take over Canada, what will change? Canada will start celebrating Christmas from September till mid January.
😃😃
there will be fiestas in every corner of a city/town almost every single day.
@Blaire21: haha .. you're funny. It's true .. well .. we need to bring the Christmas festivities back in Canada and US and any other western countries. In Japan, Hongkong, South Korea, Singapore .. Christmas is huge. I love Japan during Christmas time .. the decorations everywhere are top of the line. America and Canada ? hhmm .. not so much. too bad.
There would also be a huge rice shortage in Canada
@@hua.g 👍 hahaha
Pssst they are good people! They were taught from the very young age that God is on their side when trouble comes, hardships, and by being good God will do miracles. That’s why they are kind hearted, loving, forgiving, respectful, put smile on their faces even life is hard sometimes. When things get rough they turn to God. That’s Filipinos!
That's great!
That's christisn Filipinos, not applicable to Muslim Filipinos, Native religion pinoys or atheist Filipinos. All equally hard working and well meaning people.
The Spaniards literally assaulted x-tianity into their DNA, over successive generations. Punishment and abuse for non compliance
They don't know any different, and they are taught there are no other options. Sad really
Precisely 😍, We have great Faith in GOD and we are also a GOD fearing person. And Though we are just human, we are not perfect, but we are loving, caring and sweet person,. And we are well-known for being close family ties. We valued our Family a lot, and When other people visited our place we gratefully accommodate them and they are considered as member of the family too.
Lol not all. Don't generalize all Filipinos are angels sent from heavens. I'm a filipino and I always frown and hate people around me. I'd rather be surrounded with animal pets than be with other humans. I don't like smiling if it's unnecessary and when I do I know I do it real lol
Khaleesi Romaerys filipinos outside Philippines are kind hearted but the inside of ph they're drug addicts
I'm a Filipino. It's because both Canadians and Filipinos are considered to be the friendliest nationalities in the world. I never experienced racism when i visited Canada. Canadians are very approachable, polite and kind. Thanks for this video.
That's great! Thanks for the comment! 🤗🤗
@screwanimalabusers You ain't gonna do anything about it son :P
There are few good reasons why most Filipinos have the ability to assimilate into different society, especially in western countries.
1. Western influence, we've been colonized by Spain and the US for many, many years. We've been exposed to different cultures.
2. Filipinos are very tolerant and generally friendly, we embrace different cultures and traditions and enjoy other cuisines other than ours.
3. "Utang na loob" (debt of gratitude), welt felt indebted or obliged to do good things in return for the good opportunity given to us. I am not sure if this tradition exists in other culture but this common in Filipino culture. We believed in the saying "Don't bite the hand that feeds you" I think those are the characteristics makes Filipinos likable to other cultures.
That's great! 😃
I totally agree. 4. Also our accent is not as strong as many Asian countries.
5. Pakikisama culture - we strive to blend to the group where we are at, although this culture also makes as stick together as a group because Western culture is more individualistic
Davis Urdaneta well said man. Utang na loob ( grattitude ), respect and family value thats the basic Filipino doctrine which makes Filipinos very tolerant and less discriminative.
Davis Urdaneta well said man. Utang na loob ( grattitude ), respect and family value thats the basic Filipino doctrine which makes Filipinos very tolerant and less discriminative.
also because of geography and the nature of the philippines, we have the most diverse landscapes in the region with different languages and cultures...I think that also explains why filipinos are resillient and very adaptive to change
Filipinos actually have the answer for world peace......KARAOKE!!! when you're in one of their parties, all anger, hatred and agression just disappears. You go to their parties you leave with a full belly, hoarse voice, drunk and food "to go".
good answer
Hahaaa, all of the above, true! Love the food "to go" part, i get maybe 3 or 4 small tupperwares or ziploc bags of food the host already bagged for me to bring home after the party. :-)
My experience in Australia is similar to yours, although I may be biased as my dear wife of 22 years is Filipina. We mix with a lot of Filipino immigrants, and almost universally they dedicate their lives here to ensuring their children have a good education and preparation for adulthood. They do miss many aspects of their previous life, but are grateful for so many of the things we in Australia take for granted. Having good English spelling and grammar is the foundation for so much of their success.
That's great! 😃
I know lots of Philippines. They come here for work. As you say,they are very nice,they speak English very good. I like them too.
That's great!
We Filipinos would NEVER change Canada, if you compare Canada to the Philippines Canada is doing WAY Better than the Philippines lol 🤣
There's a saying that goes: "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" and that's exactly what we Filipinos are doing, Canadians doesn't need to adjust themselves just to make other immigrants feel better..
It's the immigrants that have to do the adjustments not the other way around.
Thanks for your comment! Well, that's why Filipinos are ideal immigrants! Some other groups don't have the same attitude!
Sweden is adjusting for the immigrants.
J Co We Filipinos never adjust to foreigners who comes here in the Philippines, I have no idea where you got that information from...
Very well said😊👏🏻
But how come filipinos were still the one who are adjusting for the foreign immigrants in the Philippines? Isn't that unfair? 😂😂😂
The immigrants should be the one who are adjusting right? Filipinos have been adjusting for everyone since they were born. To be fair, foreign people should also take some linguistics exam (just like the Ielts, Oet, Pte, teofl, etc.) for them to enter the Philippines... 😂
+Zee Yah very well said .
My wife was born in the Philippines and arrived here when she was 9 yrs old. We have 4 children, ranging from 26 yrs old down to 15 yrs. old. I have nothing but praise for my wife and her (and now my) family… from my in-laws to my wife's extended family. Over the years we have integrated into one another's culture and traditions. It's been a rewarding experience, no doubt!
I agree that Filipinos make a good immigrant model for the same reasons you have mentioned. Filipinos just know how to respect and appreciate different cultures, and their adaptive and friendly nature can never become a threat to any country. They are mostly skilled in their profession and when treated with respect, they will remain loyal to their employer. Filipino traits that will be advantageous to other cultures would be: their nature in staying close to family, keeping old friends but being open to new friendships, providing their children a globally competitive education, working hard towards job security, and making time for faith and worship.
You forgot one thing, most Filipinos are also Christians and familiar with north American pop culture. I came here 8 years ago to pursue the Canadian dream and to have a fresh start. Canada's been so good to me and my family and my wish of having a baby boy was fulfilled here. God bless this land!
That's great! 😃😃
I don't know any Filipino, but after seeing this video, I really want to see some Filipino. I want to learn from them how to deal with good behaviour.
They are very friendly people! Actually I met a nice Filipino person in Udaipur.
It's awesome! I think he was here as a tourist.
Kamlesh Saini better try to be frend wid african..chinese india pakistan vs.. filipinos the answer is in ur research
Watch out! Most filipinos are backstabbers, gossipers and suffer severe "crab mentality" (Especially the filipino women who just migrated here) Also they have poor assimilation when coming in to this country. Most filipinos should go back, they are not meant for the west. Also make sure you keep an eye on your bags or wallets, because when a filipino is around, your belongings might dissapear in a blink of an eye.
I BAIT U HATE 😬😬😬😬
Filipinos are very great, hard-working and friendly people. They're so many in Dubai as well.
😃😃
I'm American Person 15 year old person a Minecraft UA-camr that I Had 5 Filipinos Here in The U.S Idk Why Their Language Is Sounds spanish but also The other Country Hates the Philipines Cause they think their poor but Their are riches country. But Those who hated Those country Its Racist Also I love the Philippines They Change My Life so Much
RYDER303 Minecrafter thats good to hear amigo
RYDER303 Minecrafter The Philippines was colonized by Spaniards for 300 years, adapt most of the words.
And now they are colonized by minecraft!!!
ohhh that's great RYDER, you're amazing, truly we are grateful to you to love as Filipinos the we are,you're good and truly amazing person.
thank you a lot. we filipinos love you too. and your country
English is the second language of the Philippines. It is being used everyday like the native language because English is incorporated in local dialects. English subjects is being thought as Early as Nursery and Kindergarten. English words are first to be learned by babies
That's great! 😃
English subject is taught on 3rd grade. Because some parts of the philippines use mothertongue from kinder till grade 2. Especially visayas and mindanao
huckleberryfinn01 They just implemented it, now 2010’s i believe. Lmao 1980’s is too throwback 😂 do your research
DakeBaloVEVO Not true. I grew up in the Visayas of working class parents (educated parents who are NOT landed, NOT business owners). As early as i can remember, my mom would speak to me in English and when i entered Nursery/ Kindergarten, English was already taught in class. So when i started Grade 1 i was already conversant and read simple english textbooks. So yeah, English is widely used and taught all over the Philippines.
DakeBalo, I should know better than you because I was born and raised in Mindanao. I know the first few words a baby speaks in Visayas and Mindanao are in English and that's regardless of the child's parents' social status. When I reached grade 3, I cried and didn't want to go back to school because I felt forced to study a new language that was foreign to me and that language was Tagalog. I was fluently conversant on both Bisaya and English languages. Prior to third grade, I could only read and write in English because it was the only medium if instruction at school and at home. I could speak Bisaya but that I have learned to read and write in Bisaya and Tagalog texts only during high school. Believe me, it was so hard learning Tagalog even during university days and we all hated the subject. Back then we had the brightest and strictest public school teachers. We had only one FM station, NBC, that plays 50% Filipino music and 50% American classic on Sundays and all American English songs on Saturdays and weekdays hosted by excellent American sounding DJs who were prohibited to utter even one local Filipino word. The only one TV network was RPN's TV9. I grew up learning nothing but proper English from this chanel whose news casters sound near native American speakers. This Network too, rarely aired Filipino programs and movies. They usually aired American movies, programs, and series on Mondays through Saturdays and exclusive Chinese cook show and Chinese TV series on Sundays. It was in the early 80s when the Philippines was still a powerful country in Asia. I'm sad for the kids born beyond that generation especially recently that from nursery to grade 3, children are taught local dialects and start to learn English only on the 4th level. It's going backwards and I do understand why the younger generation has weak foundations in English language.
Give a Filipino a good job and treat him humanely and he will just be more than grateful for the opportunity. Filipinos are quick to assimilate. They never pose too much of a big threat to an existing culture because they are almost always willing to adjust to be accepted or to blend in.
😃😃
RV boyjunior it is in our culture to blend in with the friends or with the culture where we are new at. But then we are also one of the moat accepting culture when it comes to differences, we generally are hospitable and have interest to create bonds
RV boyjunior Filipino's value family and that makes us very adaptable because the family encourgement.
Kim Jong-un yes and ur fuckin country was poor than our country b4 and philippines help your country great. But just wait philippines will surpass all this problem for the new government...
Bitter Korean?
When Filipinos becomes a majority in Canada there will always be singalong... It's always in festive mood.... That I'm sure.. ❤️💕
Thanks for your candid opinion about Filipinos. I am a Latino teacher here in Los Angeles, I think the whole world should model the work ethics of the Filipinos. Caring, working happily, making the best out of every worse situation, easily adjusting any job at any given situation, not complaining any hardship in job and workplace, and highly educated and professionals but remain vey modest, humble, respectful, and nice to everyone that surrounds them, very friendly, and can easily assimilate the culture of the host country.
Thank you, sir! Awesome! :0)
This is awesome'tnx for a positive feedback for us Filipino.
Probably you are a Filipino too 😆🤣
Hi! this is great. Absoulotely right. I worked for 5countries in Asia. Now I'm in a manager here in Vietnam. I can really compare Filipino attitude to asians... Filipinos are open minded, willing to adopt where ever we are and we are the most hard working. great sir.
That's great! 😃Thanks for your comment!
I completely agree! I know some Filipinos and I have even a couple of friends among them and I can testify all you told is true! They are nice, peaceful, religious, hardworking, avoiding conflicts etc.
That's great! 😃
If Filipinos took over, Canada would be overwhelmed with Jollibee restaurants. Lol
That's ok because KFC sucks.
@@keithwooden6284 yeah bois and girls
I truly appreciate your open and honest perception about Filipino immigrants here in Canada. Thank you! As a Filipino Canadian, I believe that the only way you can ever hope to live a peaceful life and be acceptable to everyone around you, is for you to live as a civilized human being. Show total respect to others, regardless.
I’m a first generation Filipino in the USA. My mother’s side is entirely from the Philippines, as well as some portions Chinese.
The reason why we aren’t ever vilified is that, as you say, Filipinos adapt into the local cultures well and are more closely tied to western ideals than, say, the Chinese. The Chinese specifically get a bad image because the Chinese tend to be extremely eastern and hold very disagreeable behaviors at times for westerners.
I agree! Thanks for the comment! 😃
Even here in the USA.I have encountered so many Chinese who are unfriendly,arrogant and VERY RUDE
seventysixtrombones1 it’s so true. That why I hate going to Chinese restaurant and Asian market. They are rude , no respect , bad service. Seriously it’s just not one time all the time I go .
What you said are true about the Filipinos. It is because the Culture of Philippines and Canada are almost the same.. Both Canada and Filipinos speak English, Celebrates Christmas and other holidays, both have democracy, eat bacon, had western values and cultures etc etc.. But not all Filipinos are like that. Some Filipinos are muslims who had almost similar attitudes like the other muslim groups in Canada..
Okay! 😃Thanks for your comment!
Mad English TV
Yes its true they are
Filipino-Muslim native in South of the Philippine a small group. but I doubt if they go to western country like Canada most of them goes to middle east because they are conservative. but I guess if?there are small percentage of them are in Canada.. for all I know is that they probably are educated or came from class A family and know how to tolerate other people. Filipino muslim in Philippine majority of them are businessmen. They sell so many stuff during holidays or xmas because they make money on that.. 😄
Billy Murray That are True,, Here in our Country White people had more Privileges than Non white people. Because White people can pay more money than non whites. I rarely heard that white people speaks in our language even if they live here more than 10 years or more but no one really cares Because we can speak english also. White people lived here with good big houses or condos but most non whites lived in an ordinary house or rent.. White people here can get easy promotions in work than the Non whites but no one complains about it. We just accept the Rules of "White Privilege".... But are those Filipinos you mentioned ALSO wants to destroy canada like they want Sharia law or wanted to make more mosque and demand to change the canadian constitution into more Sharia, kill the queen of England, death to infidels?
AdoboFlash trueeeeeeeeee 😊. White people here gets some special treatment 😅 so I think its vise versa 😂
mary magdalene.. That is depends how you define Crime.. In Islam it is not a crime to kill infidels (non-muslims)..
Your Lord (allah) inspired the angels saying, "I am with you. Encourage the believers (muslims). I shall CAST TERROR into the hearts of the unbelievers (non-muslims) and you will STRIKE THEIR HEADS and LIMBS; Koran 8:12
We love Canadians even though we don’t live there. Canadians are very nice people too. Filipinos are really good in following other countries’ laws and try to make things better for their adopted country.
Thank you for praising us Filipinos,I'm also an OFW here in Bahrain for 8yrs in just one employer.
immigrate here in Canada the more the merrier.
From a linguistic point of view, politeness and humility is pretty much integrated into the Filipino vocabulary where specific words or phrase are uttered just for the sake of being polite. Kind of like the Japanese's polite-yes "Hai"(はい) and/or ''desu''(です) which is uttered at the end of every sentence just for the purpose of being polite. The Japanese are probably a slightly more polite people but I guess the key difference is that Filipinos speak English and are hence, more adaptable.
Wow, thanks for the insights! 😃
Mr.Satoshi Nakamoto is correct. We added the word "po" at the end of every Tagalog sentence to emphasize politeness to the person we are speaking with. (even in writing).
The other form of polite word is"opo" This is actually mean a "yes" in English but with a touch of politeness on it. Usually we used it when we speak to the elderly but sometimes we used it also with our regular conversation with others (non elderly) to show politeness.
Let say you asked. "Have you finished your homework? ". I would say."No yet."
In Tagalog- "Hindi pa PO."
Sometimes we associate tagalog with english (TAGLISH) so we say "Not yet PO" ;)
you can drink with filipinos with karaoke from morning til another morning?
My only major concern when I came to Canada is where to buy RICE. 😋
Lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hi sis..i found it in walmart..just look and find the international section..you can find several rice products there..
hahaha

Filipinos are welcome here! Nice people and very hard working!
got a new french canadian friend here in the philippines, he is a retired devorced man who found new love in our country. he's staying in our country for good.
That's great! 😃😃
I am a Filipino-Canadian living in Greater Vancouver area. We Filipinos can assimilate quickly that is why we don't even need to form a community in order to survive. I lived in Richmond, B.C. and in Surrey, B.C. Richmond is like China or Hong Kong. The city is so Chinese, signs are in Chinese, everything is in Chinese. You come to Surrey, and the same thing is happening, it's India. I am not against this trend, but trying to change Canada is not a good thing. At work and in the streets, people in Surrey, even speak to you in Punjabi, when in fact they see you as not Indian-looking. When in Richmond, same thing, people will speak to you in Chinese, when you don't speak Chinese. Canada has two official languages: English and French. When you are in Canada, you should at least know the basic English, that's why these people formed their own communities so they can survive. Filipinos don't have to. You can see Filipinos everywhere even in the remotest regions of Canada.
You're right! Thanks for your comment! I used to live in Surrey, so I know exactly what you're talking about. 😄
Mad English TV So true, filipino-canadian here as well living in Greater Vancouver, it's so ridiculous to see job advertisement on indeed website written in chinese dialect and only prefer applicants who speak mandarin or cantonese.This is Canada not mainland China.
Finally, I found the Channel that don't discriminate Filipinos, because of this I subscribed. Hello everyone
Filipinos aren't trying to turn Canada into the Philippines. That's what's great about them. They just live alongside the people who welcome them into their country. They don't bitch and complain and demand their host country to cater to their needs. Look at every part of the world where they emigrate and you'll see that they are the ones who assimilate into the culture of their host country. If anything, they just work, go to church, and try to help out their relatives back home by sending them part of their paychecks.
You're right! 😃
Filipinos are very shy..they dont have the attitude of interfering..they know their limits.
I like shy people. 😃
HAHAHAHHA I think me, My self is a good example of that LOL
Correct. I was at a Tim Hortons and there was a FOB in front of me while I was born here and knew that location very well. Someone cut the line in front of both of us the FOB almost didn't want to say anything while i did and the guy that cut in front went to the back of the line.

. Civility is nice, but you have to be careful to who you show it to. There are a lot of people out there that will take advantage of Filipinos politeness.
If Filipinos will change Canadians, that would be, for all Canadians to own a Karaoke machine and sing sometimes until the wee hours. You better sing, whether you’re off key or not, in a gathering...no exception. We take turn in singing before we go home when attending a party. Then you have to eat using spoon, not fork, or simply eat with your hands...Thanks for this, Sir!
Haha, you're right! I'll save money for a Karaoke machine!
Karaoke is not a Filipino thing. It's a Japanese thing. Filipinos only adopted it when Japanese exported it to the Philippines. Most Filipino homes, rich or poor, may have some form of a karaoke equipment like a stand-alone karaoke machine or a simple karaoke microphone and a TV or stereo system.
@Pacho_Hubu...I can't confirm that, sorry. If you can provide a link to prove your claim, then I would appreciate it. However, based on the articles that I read, it is Daisuke Inoue, a Japanese musician who invented karaoke in 1971. As what I've understand, Inoue didn't patent his invention so four years later, in 1975, Roberto del Rosario, a Filipino, has 'developed' a similar machine based on the existing 'karaoke machine' that Inoue had invented.
lionhearted1969 the inventor is roberto del rosario you can google it though
Bring Bacon...Not true at ll. You should understand very well when you read articles. Roberto del Rosario developed his 'Sing-along System' a karaoke machine in 1975. Karaoke was invented by Inouke in 1971, four years before Roberto created his ''Sing-along System'. The technology was invented by Inoue and Roberto's sing-along machine is an innovation based on that technology. So Roberto is just an innovator of the karaoke, not inventor. Otherwise, the patent name 'karaoke' would have taken a Filipino name. Karaoke is a Japanese word which means 'Empty Orchestra'.
Yes!! It is so blessed to have Filipinos friends here in Canada!! They're so lovely friendly I won't have made in Canada without Filipino friends!! May God bless them all!! ♥️
Filipina here residing in USA. Thanks for the compliments and kind words to us. It's really flattering hearing such good things you guys think about us. Heart warming. Even here in the USA we have a good background and reputation. We really appreciate that a lot so that's why we stay as we are! Proud Filipino 🇵🇭 Beautiful inside and out with a heart. ♥️ Thank you! Canada is just a border from us so will visit there one day! 😉
So very true. As a Christian/Catholic Filipino. They will not change you for the way they perceived you to be or accept. They love and served with their hearts. God bless the Philippines and all the Filipino migrants.
Yes that s true we work hard english .that s is yuor 2nd language and for sure we are not trying to change in canada .em the olden times alot of pilipinos mig rate ..
3 EXCELLENT points. One other thing about Filipinos is that they don't keep to themselves as much as other Asians. They are more open, more inclusive. They know how to get along with others.
😃😃
isnt that being entitled?
Everything you said is almost on point about Filipinos. Western countries dont have to fear anything about Filipinos at all.
Howerever one sad fact is that Filipinos, some of them, are not nice to each other.
You have such a wonderful and soothing voice. You're perfect for your profession.
I think it made a huge difference that the Philippines were colonized by Spain then the United States. It made the people more accepting to other cultures or races. It's somewhat easier for Filipino immigrants to assimilate to the Canadian western society as they are somewhat exposed already to this type of society back home. From the everyday exposure of American pop cultures, music & movies even American politics & news. A lot of Filipino have this sense that Canadians & Americans are not really that different..lol. Plus the majority of Filipinos if not all are Catholics or Christians. They pretty much celebrate almost the same holidays like the Canadians like Christmas, Easters, or Halloween. So yeah I guess that's the advantage of trying to adjust & live in a new country like Canada 🇨🇦👍
That's great! Thanks for your comment! 😃
If Filipinos becomes 50 percent of Canada's population? Adobo and Lumpia will be mandatory meals! 🤣🤣🤣
Lol
Erik Stronghold ... lol 😂😂😂
LOL
LOL... How bout sinigang?
How about RIce
The great thing about Filipinos is that they easily integrate into society. They have traditional Judeo Christian values. They work hard. They don't push for political office. They speak English. They are sociable. They are loyal. They are humble. They don't complain.
They aren't unreasonably demanding. They don't seek to change the local culture. Imo, one of the most ideal immigrant groups. I'm so blessed that I'm one of them. God bless you
I wish Muslims migrants from middle east and northern Africa migrating to Europe and other parts of the world would adapt and respect the laws culture of the country they migrate to.
I browsed Wikipedia. 1st asian immigrants in canada is from Phililpines
😃😃
most of them works in the medical field such as nurses, pharmacists and care givers :)
Filipinos speak English and we watch a lot of Western movies that's why we are able to adapt to western culture. Also, most Filipinos are Christians which most western people are used to or comfortable with.
That's great! 😃
I know 2 filipino's from work. They are hard working people. Who are extremely kind. This video describes them perfectly.
😃😃
You just warm my heart with all the praises toward us Filipinos. I am one, living in the US and it's true, we are peaceful people. Thank you.
I'm Filipino. In my country there's a phrase "Maki bagay" it means to adapt to other people and circumstances.
So, it's ingrained in every Filipino that "we" are the ones who have to change and adapt if we're at another person's house.
That's great! 😃
I think Filipinos do a great job of assimilating unlike some culture who segregate themselves to pockets in most cities.Its also easier for most Filipinos to be a part of a community because they can speak english well.
😃
One of the inborn nature of Filipinos is that we can immediately adapt in our surroundings, we can still find a way to entertain ourselves even in our worst situations, we work hard, and most of all we protect each other immensely, no matter you're a stranger you hit one Filipino the whole nation will hit back on you.
But we don't mostly go out for attention, since We go to other countries with a goal in mind and that is to help our families back in the Philippines. That's why we are also called underdogs, because we may not always start a fight but We will be sure to end it with us being the victor.
😃😃
I've been living in canada, and i already adapted to being like how other canadians are. Well, except inside the house when we mostly be our real filipino self
Yes, I've met Filipinos several times during traveling, they are great, like you said, kind hearted, honest, friendly and peaceful, all of them speak English. Thank you Mark :)
I got a plan to study in Canada for college, as my fanily got a history in Canada for years. We Filipinos are adaptable, ranging from working to a hot, humid country to a cold area (like my mother in UK). From my experience, I learn how to speak in english due to my exposure in english TV shows and the english subject in kinder.
cheers from the Philippines!
That's great! 😃😃Cheers!
thanks for the good coments us,
im proud to be a filipino,my ante
is almost 36 years in canada,✌
Wow! Thank you, sir. I'm really proud of being a Filipino. Canadians are nice people and Filipinos love kind people, we treasure them most. Thank you very much, Canada for taking good care of our Filipino brothers and sisters there in your beautiful country. May God bless Canada and keep it safe from harm. I love Canadians.
yes, they would change canada, here are some :
1. canada's national food will be rice, adobo and pancit. Dessert will be halohalo.
2. canada will be done using knife as eating utensils, instead they will use spoon and fork.
3 karaoke night every day. booze will be cheaper.
Thank you Filipinos for coming to Canada and making our culture more diverse and stronger
😃😃
Filipinos are adaptable person. They will blend. And i would say a good example of immigrants should be. Sad thing is , filipino citizens perhaps have the most difficult process to obtain visa to canada compared to indian and chinese. Perhaps that is one thing why filipino work hard when they get there. For all the hardship and long process just to be there, they appreciate and thankful to canada for the opportunity they have given. And also most filipino work there to earn money not only for themselves but also for their loved ones and families back home.
That's great! I hope it will be easier for Filipinos to get visas in the future!
Mad English TV it wont happen for sure. Western dont trust philippines.
Filipinos are globally competitive.
Watching this man makes me proud of being a Filipino.
Some were saying our Tagalog / Filipino language sounds Spanish and broken/ mixed with English words . Yes, Filipinos speak SPAGLISH = SPanish, TAGalog and EnglISH.
Lol
it's simply tagalog, not spanish. say it like how it is, unless you're bantering ofc
Thank you! I also love Canada, the nicest people I met in my life. Canadians are considerate and peacemakers.
hello, I am a Filipina working as a nurse In florida, yes, we work hard without any complain. We respect the law of the country wherever, we work, we are very loyal to everyone, we don't change any law we only follow the law of that country. We love to cook Filipino food and invite everyone, Filipinos are very friendly people you don't have to worry, were honest, and respected people. I have a lots of Filipinos working there in a medical field, they loved, Canada.
Hi! :) That's great!
yes we do not want chinese turning canada into communist.
As filipino. We believe the saying. If you live in rome. Do what romans do.
That's great!
the one bad thing about Filipinos, “they always work overtime” hahaha
@screwanimalabusers hey dude take it easy, it's just like foreigners talking english or talking some other languages in our country but we're not going to upset. English is not the only language you must speak, if your going to middle east atleast you should understand their language, or if your going to any latin or asian countries for vacation.
@screwanimalabusers hey dude filipinos are not rude, most employer likes filipino worker because they are hard working. Filipino is more intelligent than you because they understand english but you dont understand their language. You better start learning to speak tagalog so you dont be out of place....
You guys dont figth
Its just a text
We love the disign of canada flag
And i even have a fav youtuber in canada its funneh
@@fil-canoutdoor ang hindi ko talaga gusto, yung mga puti "speak in English!"... yung kausap ko Filipino.
Sagot ko sa kanila, "You're not even part of our conversation."
My wife is Filipino. She is the most amazing, beautiful, uncomplaining, hard working human in the world. I love her and her family more than I love anything else.
I am Filipino we love Canada. we just want to work and live happy which your country is giving us and we are thankful for your kindness and sharing your rich country with us and we respect all your values and your culture. thank you Canada.
😃😃
Billy Murray, In behalf of my family, I am sorry. thank you for being honest in telling the truth. this is a lesson for us to correct ourselves and should not be tolerated. I hope Filipinos who migrated in this great nation, see your comment. again thank you for your patience and I hope and pray that you find forgiveness in your heart of what my countrymen did to you. here in Calgary.
Hi Mr. Billy Murray, I am Filipino immigrant from Australia. In behalf of Filipino people around the world, we sorry for this. And we thank you for your honesty and showing us our mistakes so that we can direct and change it immediately. And we will start to assess more ourselves. Pardon for this. Thank you.
Man this guy is desperate.
@billy Murray I believe that there is an agenda for the whites. White genocide rings a bell? This is not our filipino agenda, its your own elite rich 1% who are whites like the rothchilds, rockefeller etc... White genocide is coming because your own people from the elite do not want to pay you higher wages for the same amount of work that migrants can do. Do not take your anger out on us filipinos, we are peaceful and we take care of your race whole heartedly because filipinos are caring people.
Filipino and Canadians are known to be kind hearted and good people so there's no problem about us, and filipinos also known to be non-confrontational and less aggressive that we let ourself accept insult or compliments that sometimes can be annoying, but in general filipino are respecful towards other culture and im pretty sure about that. And also were pretty much "westernized" so we can easily adjust on other euro or north american countries. Thank you so much, sir ☺
Sorry for my bad English.
Thanks so much for your comment! 🤗🤗

Filipinos are great immigrants because they generally work hard, don't make a fuss, get along easily with people of other nationalities, and don't seek to change things.
Filipinos are adventurous, hardworking, and religious. Many Filipinos wanted to work in Canada and definitely to gain Canadian citizenship for good. I guarantee Filipinos can build a great nation because of that 3 major characteristics they possess. They are cultured willing to keep old folks instead of sending out in nursing homes . They have close family ties. Canadian children will have a deeper understanding why parents or grandparents really really need to be loved and respected. God Bless Canada 🇨🇦
😃😃
Most of the filipinos migrating abroad and change citizenship is simply because they're asshamed of being a filipino.
@@mustang6729 hahaha we filipino dont want to leaved in our country we love our country we are very happy in our country but who control our country during after they went and assimilate our country? Spain 350 years..americans 50 years..japanese 4 years..now who? The oligarch..and idiots politicians..
The Philippines is a example of what you can build lol . Only whites can build civilized countries that is why other cultures flock here to enjoy with no work what Canadians sacrificed to build. Also old school Canadians do not put family in nursing homes we take care of them at home. We want our country back and soon we will fight to get it back just wait and see.
You think it is that easy.... Canada actually has some similar NEGATIVE traits to Philippines..... Minus the average stupidity in terms of decision making and policy making of course with our Actors and Actresses as Scientists and Politicians
I am a Filipino and I find you Canadians really nice and civilized! I have not heard anything overly negative about Canada! Many of my relatives are there. And your English there is more understandable. Cheers! I'm from the Philippines.
😃😃
After reading all the good comments about us ( Filipino)
It makes me more proud about who we are. Thank You so much guys 💕💕💕
😃😃
I am a Filipino living and working here in Canada for almost 7 years now. I love being in here, not because i can help my family financially back in the Philippines, but because the of “Canadian people” who always been so nice to me ever since i came here. I have adopted the culture and traditions of Canadian, it helps me alot to give respect to others and to be a better citizen of this country. 🇨🇦❤️🇵🇭
😃😃
Pilipino are great people the are offering help. they are very kind. They are never say something that offended you. Always welcome you with there smiles in doesn't matter to them if you ask more help. If the are working duty. They do the best they can..
Filipinosbare hard workers they go there go work well and support families. Since we are raised to be hospitable no matter who our guests are, we are easily adaptable and tend to be friendly with anyone regardless of the nationality.
That's great! 😃
*If the population of Filipino immigrants reach to a certain level, i dont think it would cause alarm to the Canadian majority, because Filipinos are not radicals, we are not close minded people, of course, there would be some but majority of us were a well diversed people,*
That's great! 😃
For three reasons Filipinos will adapt well specifically in Canada:
1. English language
2. Catholicism/Christianity
3. Resilience
I bet many filipinos watched this video and got excited or happy. Everytime they hear their country gets mentioned they get excited and happy. They say proud to be filipino and stuff.
Lmao that's friggin true. And they be commenting stuff like #ProudToBeFilipino 😂
@@Cth358 you need friends dude, come here im giving you a hug😊btw im filipino 👍
2:55 "Filipinos: I have not heard anything bad" - I think it's because most Filipinos who work abroad are more educated and hardworking than the "filipinos" in the Philippines. OFW's (overseas filipino workers) or Filipino migrants are concerned about reputation - they are "representing" us in a way, and doesn't want to put a bad image on our country. I think it's sad that the only time that Filipinos will become more "hardworking" and "successful " is if they'll go abroad. We are sending our best people abroad, and the ones left here in the Philippines are lazy... like me hahaha 😂🤣 I'm so lazy I want a cure 😣😅
😃😃
The cure is money 😛
Mr Panic Attack you are wrong in your thinking. The reason why filipinos work hard in countries like canada is because we arent really lazy people as our country would have us to believe (juan tamad). It is just that working hard in countries such as canada is paid for in kind. Whereas in the philippines, you can work as hard as you can but you will still be underpaid. Hence there is no motivation to work that hard. Filipinos arent lazy, you can simply go to those destitutue people collecting plastic bottles or selling rice cakes, balot or peanuts on the wee hours of the morning and all they get are chump change compared to the same amount of hard work that filipinos are paid in canada.
Mr Panic Attack then it's your problem not all Filipinos😂😂
Mr Panic Attack the cure is to work hard and get high salary. Overseas Filipinos Workers (OFW) has nothing to do with you for being lazy. Dont generalize us. We're not lazy like you.
Probably yes, because Filipinos don't carry a regressive ideology that will undermine the democracy and secularism of Canada. Filipinos are more than willing to assimilate.
😃😃
Secularism indeed.....That's why you have public Catholic schools all over Ontario funded by all tax payers' money not just those who are catholics. ...Typical Canadian hypocrisy. ..smh
Do you mean the barbaric 7th century political ideology that seeks to subjugate everyone under God's law? 👀
@@xulupopo9288
Only very few of us Filipinos who doest adhere to any religious shenanigans.
HELLO MARK.
I AM A FILIPINO.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMPLIMENTS.
EVEN ITS NOT A COMPLIMENT I STILL LOVE YOUR VIDEOS SHOWING WHAT WE ARE..
I would like to have Filipino friends
Could you be my friend ?😊😂
ua-cam.com/video/-NbjRjzChRw/v-deo.html
be my friend😄😃😉
hello, Linda
We can be friends. I like foreign friends.
The problem is Filipinos hardly ever stand up for themselves and let themselves be pushed around. The live in care giver who was looking after my grandma had a chemistry degree from the Philippines I asked her "Why are you doing a 4 month community college certificate in food handling?. You should have applied to do a Master in Chemistry in Canada" instead they'd count your 4yrs chemistry degree Philippines as an equivalent undergrad failing that they'll grant you a qualifying year and then let you into a full masters program. She gave me the I wish I knew that and just accepted her fate rather then trying. Filipinos sometimes don't know any better and just accept things or make things up based on there assumption without any fact and try to post it as fact. My sister and I were born here but her husband and his family are fobs, constantly they make wrong assumptions of Canada and were always trying to "guide" them in the right direction.
English is a national language in the Philippines namely American English. The Philippines was an American colony from 1898 to 1946, so english is important in the lives of the Philippines.
That's great! I hope I can visit there sometime soon!
Bobo nito english is the official langauge and filipino or tagalog is the national langauge.
Filipinos who migrated in any countries around the world are obedient and always give a good impression that's why any part of the world there's a Filipinos.
so true, even street chiildren with no education can understand english...filipinos are generally freindly, hard workers, law abiding, very respectfully, family-oriented...although there are some bad eggs...
