Powerful message from Davin. Nuff respect. God takes you out of the pen for his purpose. Keep flying by faith..
Yes I was in the US Navy and my home Port doing Vietnam War my HomePort was the Philippines two big Bay also know about the Air Force Base American Air Force Base in Clark which is in the Manila and I enjoyed the Philippines I thought it was one of the first place islands that I have ever visited and I did not want to leave and I am a black man in America who was in the US Navy at the time in 1971 through 1974 and spent a year and 8 months in Vietnam and our Port where we got all supplies and everything and we're out of the super big Philippine and I enjoyed the food and the people there would like to go back anytime I am now currently living in Florida
Surprisingly, I love the Philippine foods. After working with hundreds of Phillipine nurses I got to like their foods and their work ethics.
That’s what they think about all black people
I would love to visit
This is one of the most enjoyable and entertaining interviews I've heard in a long time. We should all be so proud of this young and his journey. I love his humility and his personality.
100%
Amen Shalom shalom my brother Nuff blessings
Totally agree...👍💯
I am humbled to be where I am today, only by Gods grace is it possible to be able to fly and help others. Thank you Karen for your kind words. God bless
@@b.aclarke1820 yeah man, nuff nuff blessings a flow enough
I lived in the Philippines for 6 years, arrived in 2012 first in Manila (Pasay City) and later in the province Bacolod City..In my opinion most of the black foreigners are Black Americans then Africans mostly from Nigeria...the black people of the Philippines are called the Aeta and rightly so are black, they came to the Philippines centuries ago from areas around the Solomon Islands and Fiji Islands in the South Seas. After, came the Malays from Malaysia....later on the Spanish colonised the islands and the Philippines was named after the Spanish King Phillip..during the 300 years of colonialism...many of the Malays and Aetas were mixed with Spanish settlers thus producing a country of people with various shades of brown melanine skin..Many Filipinos have very light skin as well. When I lived over there, I never experienced anything negative from the people because I was a Jamaican as a matter of fact Jamaicans are well liked over there I didn´t have any problem with the food there either, and sometimes I made Jamaican dishes like stew peas and jerk chicken,( I had my nephew send me jerk seasoning from London) along with the spices I could´nt get locally...also there are countless food outlets in the food court in the malls that serve foods from all over Asia. There was a Jamaican who opened a restaurant in the city of Dumaguete called "Jamrock Cafe" don´t know if it´s still operational as the pandemic killed many businesses. I have seen breadfruit trees in the province where I used to live, also an abundance of sugarcane and mangoes are grown locally. Clearly this gentleman has a large interaction with the local population in remote areas....big up to him and family..a very interesting story, will be going back there in late August.
Aeta from Fiji????????
@@meresianadauniseka5300 from pacific they are genetically related.
Jamaican here ... like you I was there from the old PUC campus then located in Baesa , then transferred to Putingkahoy 79-80 ...later name changed to AUP .. lots of delicious dishes for Vegetarians ... Pancit etc and all the necessary ingredients are available to cook jamaican dishes .. American ... name it .. good people
I just came back from there and I honestly can't wait to get back.
that was your experience. he's telling us his experience
Really a great interview. I’m encouraged by his story. Blessings 🙏🏿

Myself and my Filipino wife are migrating to the Philippines soon and will be bringing Jamaican food via a restaurant. We’ve been introducing Jamaican food to the family and friends and the response is so positive that we’ve decided that this will our business and are excited to present it to the Philippines in the Luzon area. There is/was a Jamaican restaurant on one of the islands called Dumagete called True Love Cafe but I haven’t heard anything of them since the pandemic. 🙏🏾❤️👊🏾
The Lord send me to Philippines and I did not go when I see how far I have to go
When I check. I did not go I change my mind

Thank you for your kind words and encouragement, God bless you too
Ang galing mo bro! I am a Jamaican that speak tagalog also,and am very much familiar with the culture. Ingat kayo lahat!
I am a Trinidadian who lived and studied in the Philippines for a number of years, and everything this guy said is absolutely true. The original Filipinos are black and are called negritos. Also, the philippines also make a dish that is similar to the Jamaican escovitch and it is called escabeche. Like your guest, i am also a Seventh Day Adventist. I have been to the Philippines more times than I can count the fingers on both hands, and I love it. That young man is on point with every thing. Also, the Philippines is more developed and modern than all the islands in the Caribbean especially in modern manila. There is a place named Makati, and you'd think that you are in midtown Manhattan. I would love to communicate with your Davin, since we are both SDA and I studied there at Adventist University of the P,hilippines which I know he knows. I also travel over there to visit from time to time, especially when I was studying. I did my doctorate in public health over there. I love the Philippines and can live there. Thank you for this video, Sir.
What year did you graduated at AUP?
The only thing that was wrong about his info is that Spanish breeds with negritos since they are isolated the average filipinos that you can see right now are malay descents they outnumbered the negritos that's why they are isolated.
Yes, I lived near a Philippine restaurant in Maryland and they served the fish like how I remembered our Escovitch fish taste.
The color of Filipino is brown, you say Filipino is negrito..! Explain it why Filipinos are Negritos..?! Where Negritos come from.? When Philippines under Spanish colony, Spain vs. USA, Negritos from Africa is slave by american, negro join american to fight against Spain, then Filipino war against America, the Negritos left american to join Filipino soldiers to america. that's why Negritos begins to spreading to Philippines anywhere in the mountains of Luzon. Thrs no asian Negritos here in Asia. 💀🇵🇭⚔️👍
You don't know the history of Asian Pacific bro, we are not belong to negro and we are not accept that we are Latino in Asia. 💀🇵🇭⚔️👍
This was an excellent interview and inspiring guest.
Amen Gavin, wonderful interview, I am proud of you

One of the best interviews Xavier shows that one's pass does not dictate one's future" from his nothing he became a mighty vessell in the hands of God....i pray his testimony will be heard by boys, girls, men ,women and it will bring hope and touch the life of someone to walk away from the life of gun, crime and voilence and to be s better person.

As a Trinidadian in Canada, I have tried several Filipino dishes. I have found them tasty especially the desserts, but I have not found them to be visually appealing.

This was a great conversation, I really enjoyed it. Like Captain Bligh by introducing ackee to Jamaica, Davin your name will go down in the Philippine history to introduce ackee to that country. I hope the ackee tree will grow and yield some great fruits to feed many.
Yes on the ackee vibes
Very good interview 👏 🙏
This interview was very interesting and refreshing and also uplifting.We need more of this type. Very good I am blessed by this interview. Thank God.
😅😅😅.....I can relate to everything Davin Bennett is saying about the Filipino. I'm a South African and have lived in the Philippines for 2 yrs. What a friendly country with amazing people the Philippines is. Thank you Xavier Murphy for this wonderful interview
Thank you for your kind words and encouragement, much appreciated. Blessed to know that you were inspired by my story. God bless you too
Davin go to Antequera, Bohol you'll get a lot of breadfruit especially my yard.
I love this interview. Davin is a wonderful Christian man. Davin I would like to donate to the mission WORK. I'm a Jamaican and a SDA too. How can I donate to Davin.
Really !!!
So true I am bless by this glad to see this .
This has been absolutely wonderful. My mahal is in the Philippines and I am sharing this video with her. It has helped me and I know it will definitely help her about Jamaicans. Thank you very much and if and when I visit the Philippines I would like to have lunch with Devin and Irene. God bless you both.
What a delightful interview so informative. So proud of Davin for what he has accomplished. Look forward to these interviews.
What has he accomplished… he’s divorced himself from his culture and ethnicity, so please explain
Beautiful couple!💑
I thoroughly enjoyed this interview with Davin and his lovely wife Irene.
God bless you both as you continue to serve with your Living in Faith initiative.
Praise God for your closing thoughts Davin.
I hope some inner city kids are hearing this.
Love the closing remarks.what a testimony may Gods blessings continue to follow Great interview.
Omg this an interesting interview. I appreciate this so much .
I loved this interview, very real and true. Nothing but God guiding you Davin. I have been to the Philippines multiple times for work and currently visiting again. People here are definitely more friendly and welcoming that in other Asian counties I have visited. It's truly an adjustment when they stand staring at me. Kamayan is the term for eating with your hands. Definitely, a culture shock for me when eating with friends. Lol
As a tourist/working here, there are lots of misconceptions about Filipinos. People should visit and not be put off by the news. I love it here and even thinking of moving.
Thank you for your kind words and encouragement, much appreciated. Blessed to know that you were inspired by my story. God bless you too
This was nothing but positive, hilarious, inspiring. Filipino American based in England and my best mate who is Jamaican sent this link to me. Davin and Irene visit my brother Mike and his wife Joanna in Bolinao either in Birdland Resort or one of their Kopi Kubo cafes.
wow small world, thanks for the kind words and encouragement enough. Blessings.
Love this interview .
God continue to bless you Davin.
Beautiful interview 🙏❤️
Every good interview nuff blessings to you both
This is a very enjoyable interview, Darin and his wife are beautiful souls, as an SDA Christian I truly appreciate your work. God bless you both.
Thank you for your kind words and encouragement, much appreciated. Blessed to know that you were inspired by my story. God bless you too
Very interesting interview one of my cousin's wife is from the Phillipines and live in Manila they have been married for over 20 years and the other cousin's girlfriend is also from there too...very nice people...Devin sounds just like one of my nephews if I wasn't looking at him and was hearing his voice I would think it's my nephew talking....I'm going to check out his web pages... Continued success to you Devin and Irine in your endeavors..Blessings 👍🙏
So enjoyable n inspiring.
