Please do a collab with MomDuty. They are also a Filipino-Mexican family who moved from California to BGC.
We’d love to, we’ve only had random catchups with them since they got back. Thank you so much for watching ✌🏼
I was the only Filipino in my school when I was younger. Everytime somebody tried to bully me, i called them out loudly and didn't stop till a teacher noticed / came to find out what was happening. I had school anti-bullying guidelines to back me up. The bullies stayed away eventually when I did break someone's nose and blinded his left eye when he tried to retaliate. I NEVER backed down from bullies. I always stayed away from confrontations but in those rare moments I do, I made sure I AM HEARD and UNDERSTOOD;););) I make sure I leave a mark! The school already had a long file on bullying towards me that I actually got to use city "victim" resources and didn't get expelled.
i was bullied also when i was in jr high, i usually approach bullies when they're all alone because they're only tough when they're in groups. they're cowards when they're all alone.
Proud of you Cristina 👏 🥰 Love all your vlogs with the kids. Thank you for embracing Phil culture. Your Tagalog is improving in every video. Watching from Down Under. 🥰
Yay! ☺️ I’m grateful to have a platform to share these experiences with others. Thank you so much for all of your support ❤️
I love this vlog. It made me realize that you do not have to be born and raised in the Phil or to have Filipino parents or whatever to be called a Filipino. You may not have a Filipino gene in your DNA but if you imbibed the Filipino mind and spirit and you feel and think and act like a Filipino, then you are a Filipino. It’s what you consider yourself to be that matters and defines you and not what others say or think of you.
Thank you so much! It feels home here.
I am Filipino & I act & feel like...I am Filipino!😍🥰🤩🥳🤗❤️❤️❤️🌈🌻🌻🌻🌞🌞🌞🔥🔥🔥
It’s all about how we feel most comfortable in our own selves ✌🏼🇵🇭❤️ thank you so much for watching!
Wow Mike, thank you for saying not to let anyone diminish your Filipino. I’m one quarter and often feel that way even with my own Filipino-American family because of my physical traits. I have always gravitated toward my Filipino culture, but want to learn more so I’m enjoying these videos.
Watching always from Jeddah Saudi Arabia
PHILIPPINES CULTURE IS A MIXTURE OF ANYTHING YOU WILL IMAGINE ! WE"LL EMBRACE ANY CULTURE WARMLY WITH NO PRETENSE !
Yes, we don't say "you're half filipino half mexican" to our daughter, we say "You are Filipina AND Mexican, you were made from two people with different cultures so your blood and heart will ALWAYS carry both" And it working out great, our daughter LOVES that she is both and respects both cultures at the young age of 8 :) We don't mind what others try to label us as
We love this ❤️ it’s all about how you feel most comfortable! Thank you so much for sharing and for watching 🙏🏼
MS . CRISTINA , JUST TELL SIR BRIAN THAT IGNORE THOSE " TROLLS " OUT THERE . BY THE WAY , GIVE MY REGARDS TO SIR MIKE FOR REPRESENTING THE PHILIPPINES . SALAMAT !!!!! 👋👋👋🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭👏✌️👍
It’s touching to know that part of you IS Filipino.
Keep it Up Guys.👏😎🇵🇭💯❤
Hello from Houston, TX! I loved this video with Salamat Cookies! Mike is hilarious and Im hoping to see some cookies in Htown one day! I lived in the Phils for 7 years (14 till 20 yrs old-- 35 now 😅) and everything you guys mentioned with learning and assimilating, I too had to learn as a Filipino- American-- I have much input on my experiences with that and feel you guys on those growing pains. Haha. I'm a new follower, but all your videos make me smile. Keep them coming! Ang galing mo na din mg tagalog Cristina! Mabuhay! 😊
Brian nailed it. Social norms and ground rules.
Thank you so much for watching! Sometimes it’s hard to “call out” things like that but we believe it’s important to share these topics as well. Thank you for the support and ingat po ✌🏼
Proud of you, guys! Represent! I have a niece who'll be visiting this March for the first time and she's in her late 30's. Hope we could meet with you when then stay at BGC. In April.
Thats awesome! Hope she enjoys her time here.
What an interesting and fascinating vlog. IMO, you’re Filipino all the way whether a quarter or .02. Don’t worry about the naysayers. You’re.02 Pinoy blood probably is the result of a Filipino sailor who decided to stay in Mexico and had a family. A small minority of Pinoy sailors did actually put up roots in Mexico..
Keep doing what you’re doing 👍🏼👍🏼. Mabuhay kayo.
Clarification: the Pinoy sailors who settled in Mexico was during the Galleon trade between the Philippines,Mexico and Cuba.
Maraming salamat po ❤️ the love that I feel from this country 🇵🇭 has been incredible! Thank you so much for following and for watching ✌🏼🙏🏼
Mike Francis, sound musician!
Oh, I love what the Lorenzana sisters are doing in the food industry. République is my favorite resto here in LA! I'll definitely visit Wildflour Café + Bakery. Mike is awesome and great interviewer!
We haven't heard of that place in LA. Mike has such a great personality on and off camera, but he's meant to be in front of it I think lol
Love this family.
Thank you so much for your continued support.

Hello po!!
My children were not bullied they assimilated very well.
My husband was somewhat “forced” to assimilate because he didn’t want to be bullied 😕 it’s unfortunate that it happened but it also showed him how much confidence he had within himself as an adult. I’m incredibly proud of him, proud of both of our cultural ancestry and raising the boys to appreciate their heritage ❤️
So you are back to the US
I was at Dr Wine in BGC, I swear the lady I saw there was you. I wanted to take a picture with her. She looked just like you.
That was this past Thursday night.
Could've been my doppelgänger!
❤️❤️❤️🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🍻🍻🍻
good evening po ❤❤❤
Hello 😊
mom duty’s sister or cousin?
Offtopic, your kids should start their own food and bloopers vlog, seriously.
I remember that cutting classes before, if somebody ask what is your school we answer jokely, "our school is SM University" or "Robinsons University" because mostly of students specially High school, you can find them on every Mall just pass time, specially in Videogame Area. 😂😂😂
That's so funny!!
Most of Malls now are banning student in uniform to enter malls, specially in school time.
I had a laugh when you said "Ano ka ba" when you got lost looking for Glorietta 4. LoL
😂 it happens all of the time now!
Struggles of immigrants but as they say we are Filipinos. We are resilient. Ahout Filipino competition, it's crab mentality. Sadly, a lot of Filipinos are still into that.
I’m sure every culture has a version of this… it’s how we handle it that really makes us who we are ❤️
People are going to say mean things because they’re jealous. Just keep doing what you’re doing. Love your channel. ❤
Congrats! Its a sorry thing but TRIBALISM stems from being scattered among diffrent islands in the countrbut I hope its getting less in the country although, its more marked among Filipino communities abroad. I feel like Pinoys in the Phillipines will accept you as Pinoy with sense of wonder but Pinoys abroad woukd have 2nd thoughts thinking All Piniys should look and sound like them..dysfunctional..lol!
It’s so interesting to read all of the comments on this subject! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and for watching the video 🙏🏼❤️🇵🇭
Grow a beard out Devil Dog 😂
😂
Right when I heard Cristina said 'ano ka ba?' when you're lost, that's when I thought she's a Filipina already 😊
Hahaha I don’t even realize do it anymore! And my constant “hoy” is a new one that keeps coming out 😂 I like to say I speak a version of English/Spanish/Tagalog 😉
❤❤❤
Salamat po!!
