    The first time I was in Vietnam, I was at a lost. The language barrier was fierce. I couldn't even properly compute their money. Being a Filipino, I was so used to the Philippine Pesos. But most of the people that I encountered in Vietnam were very kind to me. They knew instantly, just by listening to my voice, and my accent that I am a Filipino, and they would ask, "you Filipino?" And I'd say, "yes." They will always answer with, I love Filipinos. You helped us before. We help you now. We are friends!" Despite the barriers, our hearts are connected through history. I'm looking forward to the day I'd go back and visit Vietnam again.

      In Vietnamese culture, middle-aged or more people who are not blood-related would call each other "anh" (elder brother) or "chị" (elder sister) to express respect to each other, regardless of their real age. In my observation, people usually practice that after having their (first) child married. FYI.

      really? for whatever reason i hope all of them life good life in Philippines. maybe the first boat people (can't speak locals or english, mostly) but i know their kids (since the kid was so youngful when they're arrived in Philippines & some of them even born in Philippines) they're second generation in Philippines. They're maybe have Viet blood, but since they're born & raise for rest of their life in Philippines so Philippines is their country in the heartbeat, it happen to anyone when you're born & raise in the country ❤️
      but i hear fews case som Vietnamese was living in Philippines before boat people. I just wonder where they're living in Philippines?
      i was read on paper news in Vietnam before (but forget the links) they're was boatfishing & working as labor in chinese company then the chinese bought them to Philippines but somehow after years they're left and stuck at the Philippines, th company for some reason (broken or somewhat) did not pay them and leaves. So these people been living in Philippines over 100year
      Now it been 4,5 generation Vietnamese in Philippines, fews of them is married to locals people and mostly their kids now is mix.
      i forget exactly the story but it like something like that. I still wonder how these people? and where they're living in Philippines.

    After the Vietnam War and their unification.. The first country the leader of Vietnam visited was the Philippines, as a gratitude for our Nation for not sending combatant soldiers to fight them and join the US forces in the Vietnam War even we (The Philippines), are the US close ally (unlike in the Korean War whom Filipino soldiers fought side by side with the South Korean and American soldiers, against the North Korean and Chinese soldiers).
    In the Vietnam War, our late President Ferdinand E. Marcos DENIED the US Congress of their request to join them in combat and instead sent non combatant soldiers (PHILCAG) only to repair bridges, schools etc. and for humanitarian services. And for that reason and decision the friendships will forever be written in our (Vietnam - Philippines) History. 🙂🇻🇳❤️🇵🇭

They too are hard working and you can find women working in house/ building construction even in roads construction. I praise how these people work so hard. I am amazed that I see no beggars roaming here in Ho Chi Mihn, instead they sell sweepstake tickets for livelihood. The hardest thing I find here is the language barrier, their language is too hard to learn.

    This is one of the best videos Ive watched in recent years! I also had a chance dining at their restaurant... the food was good and simple (as Vietnamese cuisine is about fresh and healthy food). Then I ordered a Bahn Mi to go... eating it at the hotel was one of the best memories of Palawan for me! I still want to go back... I hope to meet with three the next time.
    If any of you gets to visit Puerto Princesa in Palawan, do visit the former Vietnamese Refugee Center’s restaurant... patronising their food is supporting them thru their livelihood. Its also located in this lush forested area by the beach.... It gives you this lovely feeling if being in nature! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    I remember my Vietnamese school mates in Manila - they are kind and simple people - they are really vegetarian and they are slim - one day one Vietnamese told me - you Filipinos are meat eaters - She came and cooked shabu shabu for my board mate who is from Myanmar. In 1990's many refugees came to the Phil and they are hard working, they engage in "buy and sell" so they go from school to school or from office to office. But sometimes their experienced are not good because one related that his place was ransacked. This video is an eye opener for us and it impels us to respect one another and love one another regardless of culture, race, religion and others. May God bless us all.

      I can feel your sentiments about the Chinese who ruled you for how many years. My Myanmar board mate told me that since we have also Chinese with us. I went to Korea last May. when my sisters and I were falling in line to go up Namsam Tower, a man was looking at us as if he was about to say something or as if we are familiar. I told my sister, maybe that guy is from Phil or he thought that we are from his country. when we were up and was seated, he approached us and we entertained him, he told us that he is from Vietnam and he was with his family. he left them in order to talk to us. I was able to talk to him slowly and for him also to understand me because of his limited English but I was able to grasped his words and I understood that his son who is a US Army and came home for vacation and treated them to Korea. He is very jolly and he even invited us to Vietnam to visit too. I am very much associated with Vietnamese people because the first Movie I watched during my college days was about Vietnam war example Green Beret and others and because of the refugees whom I encountered I even buy shoes from them. Turtle is delicious I tasted the big one when I went to the Pacific Island in Chuuk, Micronesia. We Filipinos can also eat the food you mentioned but not in a regular meal those who like only but not cat.
