Just watched this interview. Love the easy conversation between two intelligent and well spoken young people. And yes, Evan, I got “made” as a FilAm by my walk every time! 😂
Wtf, what makes you think Chinese-Filipinos are “higher” than those of normal Filipino blood? I’m Filipino-chinese and I’ve never felt that. And I’ve lived here my whole life. What makes you think the other guy wasn’t snubbed just because he came from the US? These dudes really be thinking they’re something special.
its funny how this 'savvy expat' is claiming that the only reason why they are enjoying life here is because they have earned everything in dollars. So what does he think of the peso earners --they are living miserable lives? #Hambog
Everytime some vlogger says “I can’t believe I’m in the Philippines right now” I think, “what, you think we all live in a jungle or something? Just because a place is nice it can’t possibly be in the Philippines?” 😒
Not a dump...it's a former military base area..headquarters , offices, trainings etc. Hence it's not a DUMP & DANGEROUS . People pls stop giving FALSE INFO, people are not that ignorant at this ERA
Bro this is the collab i wasn’t i expecting but definitely fire! I hope you enjoy our country! I’ve been following your channel since when you were in Colombia. PS: we live like 10 minutes away from BGC y yo puedo hablar en español también!
Watching this reminds me of older generation. A lot of opinions here are programming I got when young, that when examined coming bk to PH felt convenient generalisations of the culture.
All I can say, Wes, having once been married to my widdle Phillipina wife, who weeley weeley weeley loved me until her citizenship papers came legal. In the Phillipina game of love? You start out as an Ace. You arrive as a King. You marry your Queen, and then you get Jacked. In the Phillipino poker game of love, no matter the hand you're dealt? you're the Joker every time bro. LOL
I'm not accepted by most Chinese folk because im still half black, not all are racist but we all deal with that somewhat in our life no matter the state or country! We gotta do our best to ignore it.
The same thing applies to Chinese or Saudis who earn insane money and come to the USA. They must feel how we Filipino Americans feel when we go to SEA in terms of their money stretching 😂
I might be confusing sexpat with John, but how does ethnicity make that more or less icky. I understand the reaction but the reaction is also icky. Ethnicity should not have anything to do with it being icky. I suppose it’s like a white person that gets worked up by seeing a white girl with a black guy. I think that aversion is something that one needs to put in check because it’s messed up. What I don’t like is seeing western guys or locals using economic advantage to use women for sex. Again, anyone can exploit and it doesn’t matter the ethnicity. For the low income person that marries a poor Filipina, I also don’t see an incompatible match. Who cares? It’s not something to rip on and many of these regular guys in the west have lost out to the online hook up culture. I don’t think these guys are losers at home or are worthy of that unless they are marrying into a wealthy and successful family. However who cares if it works for them? I’ve also seen young guys that are educated, nice looking, come from good families and are making the big bucks, with similar age Filipina wives. This could be the champ wife hunter type. They are purely after the Filipina cutie that they can build a family with. I don’t think they are losers either. However, I wonder if the two of you feel like you could be losers back home? Does the shoe fit? If you’re casually dating women that know you’re Americans, it’s an advantage, right. Is it possible that you are a sexpat or loser back home? I think we should be careful to isolate the problem behavior from that decent behavior because I think there’s a difference. Some things deserve scorn but it should be equally applied also. The legit people should be respected.
Another great video! Living in Seattle there is a large Filipino population and I've never met one who wasn't absolutely the nicest person. Love these Southeast Asia videos, and Columbia, but one thing I'm curious about that you don't seem to cover much and that is the quality of and access to the local health care systems. For someone looking to eventually move to one of these countries that is an important issue. It may be that as a younger guy you just haven't had the need to engage with the system much or just an oversight since there's so much other great stuff to cover, but curious about that aspect.
@WheresWes are you sure you are chinese? You look 100% filipino. I thought i was chinese filipino too until I took a DNA test at 23andme and it turned out im 100% filipino from central visayas. My uncle looks chinese as hell but still the DNA test just showed me as filipino cebuano. Maybe try a dna test for the channel though?

I've met quite a few Phillipinas/pinos in my lifetime here in Toronto and they are one of the nicest pieple ever. Very honest.
100% bro Filipinos are dope af.

I asked filipino workers, relax bro. It's a classist society, and Chinese people are seen as having money. So they're put into a separate class.
Filipino society/ culture.
Spanish Filipino mestizos or Filipino mestizos in general are still considered higher class and UPPER CLASS/ ELITES
The same reason why pinoys view whyte foreigners as “higher” lol because they are different from the norm

My family is from here so I've been here several times already. And to be fair, BGC used to be a dump
Because it used to be a dump and very dangerous when it was fort bonafacio
Not a dump...it's a former military base area..headquarters , offices, trainings etc.
Hence it's not a DUMP & DANGEROUS .
People pls stop giving FALSE INFO, people are not that ignorant at this ERA
pinoy divisions tagalog vs visaya, browns vs yellows, black vs whites, spanish vs chinese, english vs filipino , lapu2x vs humabon, ect.
Great review guys! We're considering trying to live there half the year, here's hoping!
Bro this is the collab i wasn’t i expecting but definitely fire! I hope you enjoy our country! I’ve been following your channel since when you were in Colombia.
PS: we live like 10 minutes away from BGC y yo puedo hablar en español también!
Great interview/conversation. Thanks!!
Best collab!

bgc's like New York/Chicago but safer, cleaner, modern and super trendy
Chinese filipino is higher than full-bloodied pinoy? Born and raised here in manila but I never felt that way. Chinoy are just regular pinoy.

sheeeshhhh
You talk like a pdf file.
Welcome and enjoy! Subscribed!👍🇵🇭
Mr. Wes, I have one question how was the Internet in BGC. I work online and need fast and reliable internet for my job.
This is why I watch your channel… good one!
I'm not accepted by most Chinese folk because im still half black, not all are racist but we all deal with that somewhat in our life no matter the state or country! We gotta do our best to ignore it.
Chinese people r Hella racist for sure

Where do you play tennis in the Philippines ?
grabe ang tikal kag superiority complex. di magaga.
love this conversation. especially your points on sexpats. spot on
Yea, I speak Fluent Tagalog but my body language gave away I was an American 😆

Damn I was just there in July. Had a great time. Nightlife is lowkey underrated in Manila.
Will you meet David Bond in Cebu too?
;)
Is BGC air polluted? Must be
nah. Manila and the Philippines in general has the best air quality in Southeast Asia
@@marimar3161 thanks for info you big Dummy

Very similar
In criminal activities ?lol
