The danger is there just be safe, once you experience it, you can say I am one in a thousand if not one in one hundred thousand. Just always be on your guard!!
Well done kids.... So glad for your review of my country and all your observations are exactly right . What I want to ask you is to please my beautiful city which is never given a lot of visits by the bloggers to be promoted as one of the great experiences to explore in the Philippines....Davao City and it's surrounding beautiful natures 8n Bukidnon area and samal Island beaches to dive or snorkel. It's because of the unfair old perceptions about Mindanao....but things are totally different now in mindanao. Hope you'll include Davao. BTW I use to live in USA 42 yrs...I'll be returning there this yr for good.
Philippines is just like other countries in the world. Wherever you go just be extra careful and use common sense. I'm glad you are enjoying Philippines more power to you both on your channel
Perception is different from actual experiences, majority of Filipinos who left the country for work abroad have negative points of view and always give some negative comments for you guys but we are glad you are correcting some comments, that people change, governance change and progress is accepted while bringing their lives for the better, no country is perfect wherever you are and the way tourism now in the Philippines is growing much faster because of social media, it helps and it's time to see for yourselves what these vlogging tourists say...thank you biscuit boys for the validation.
They need a reason for leaving the country, but most of them don't have deep knowledge about the Philippines because they were sold that the country is bad by the daily news that the mainstream media spread every day and by the leftist mentality that most Filipinos learned from some politicians and broadcasters. Not to mention that before they leave, they don't have any country to compare it to.
Yes...I totally agree to your comments...I hate it when our own Pinoy n pinay keep sending warning and negative comments to the tourist. I'm from Davao...I just sent a comment to these guys that I hope you will read. I am planning to move back to pinas real soon.
All those pinoys that insult their country while escaping to greener pastures are cowards,you heard me cowards They'll blend in with the lifestyle of north america,western europe or what have you,they're embarassed to be filipino They had the skills to improve the ph but instead chose to run but they'll shout pinoy pride whenever diaz snatches another medal If you're leaving to provide for your family that's understandable but what gives you the right to sell out/insult your country Good to see foreigners see the potential in the ph while the colonial crab minded peenoise Will run at the first sign of trouble
I agree. whatever people say you cant deny there is progress even there's a lot of negative. imagine how hard it is to run even a small business, now, multiply it by a thousand if u run a country.
You're not alone guys. When I went back to the Philippines with my family after several years here in the USA, I was shocked by the traffic and the long hours of commute. It wasn't like that back then. But, the love, the warmth, the kindness of the people, the hospitality is something I would come back to.
There are legit certain areas in Mindanao that are DANGEROUS because of certain groups but those are too far in the City or on the Mountain areas. The Mindanao has a lot to offer aside from clean white sand beaches we have cheaper food and fruits to try on! People are genuinely friendly and approachable. I hope you did enjoy your stay ❤️
You guys know more of your ways in Metro Manila than me. I never explored those areas when I was living in Manila. You guys are so lucky . You’re living your dreams. Take care and stay safe!
Well thanks to the both of you for liking our country The Amazing Philippines, just be careful all the time where ever you go guys, Have more fun in our beautiful country, Good Luck guys, God Bless! Be safe always 🤗
100% SPOT ON on every thoughts. You’re maybe the first vloggers who really grasped how to live day by day in the philippines or manila. AND YOU GUYS ARE HILARIOUS AS HECK!! Newly subscribed here and i watched all your videos in 3days!! So entertaining!! Hope you’re still there when i visit manila!!
I hope politicians, people in the government and management of fastfoods and supermarkets can watch this vlog and take your feedback as something to learn from to improve the system and services they provide. About the Philippines being dangerous, you're more courageous than I am as a Filipino. I sometimes even get scared for both of you whenever you're out on the streets holding your camera. Anyways, just happy that you stayed here longer than we expected and that somehow you're enjoying your stay 🤗
@@audreygaylegatbonton1638 Tom is correct. Petty crime rate is much lesser now compared to the 80s and 90s. I have this stigma before about NCR but you know what I have been working in NCR for almost 8 years now without experiencing this petty crimes. I have a good paying job but I do not consider myself as upper middle class.
I also have negative perception in Mindanao but went to travel last year as a solo traveller and i feel much safer than in Manila😅 Lake Sebu in North Cotabato is one of the best especially the Seven Falls. It's so magical .
3:39 It's true the public transport & heavy traffic is just horrendous in the Philippines. I know efforts are being made in constructing subways, MRTs and other mass transportation system, but until then one could only hope. 17:16 Yes, people can speak English because it's being taught in school at all levels from preschool, grade school, highschool up to college level or universities. I believe the media, movies & television also has a huge role on that aspect. 😃👍
I think many comments just want you to be cautious, and maybe some people hear things happen in some places even though it did not happen to them personally. Glad your travels in the Philippines is going well, keep up with the very entertaining vlogs.
You guys contributed in convincing filipinos abroad specially retirees , and younger generations to come home or visits dear beloved Philippines!!! Thank you both!! Be safe and have more fun!
Isaac and Tyler please read this. I think you guys are fast becoming locals now. Your observations are pretty good and spot on. What other travellers (vloggers or not) and tourists do not even have the perspective of the PH like you do. I think you are "getting" it. Other (Asian) countries may have better transport, quieter, cleaner (not that PH should not have or aim for the same) but the difference with Metro Manila (or the rest of PH) are really the people and no money or modernity can compare to that. There's a lot of heart in the PH. A lot of care, passion and love going around. It is not just money money money ( and yes those that scam you or people who ask for money are just a byproduct of how cheap it is in the PH so there is poverty ( they are not inherently bad ) but at the same time it is not all about poverty in PH which the media & some travellers / tourists do love to highlight. Most people are just like any other regular people in other countries (neither rich nor poor) if not better of in that they live simply (it is a tropical island country, so people live the island life - one does not need a lot to live simply and simplicity does not necessarily mean poverty) meanwhile so called "developed" countries have regular people drowning in debt and will probably live their whole lives in debt. So I find it ignorant when travellers or tourists make negative comments or unnecessary comparisons between the PH and other Asian countries. These are probably the same people who doesn't give a tip, who would like to pay as cheap as possible or not give back to the communities they visit. They just come and take, take, take and take advantage of the kindness of the Filipinos' good heart. When you move on to other countries to explore. I guarantee you that you will never experience the same as you have in the PH. You will dislike the inconveniences in the PH sure (locals do too and as frustrated if not much more as you would) but you will miss the PH terribly. So savor every moment of your time there and keep on discovering the little things that make the PH & the Filipinos different (special). Do not it for granted. Much luck to you both. ❤
Would love to see you Guys stream while playing Games that would be fracking epic! And you can answer the questions live while streaming that’s one less video to Edit
Thank you guys for appreciating our country. Your positive thoughts about the Philippines means so much, especially to other travellers who are planning to visit our country. 🥰👍👍❤
Thank you for sharing your Honest and Open-minded thoughts about our country. It's very interesting to listen to a visitor's point of view of what's life like in here. It seems like your openness to adventures and to new things in general helps you to adjust well to new environments, and it shows! Looking forward to more of your adventures frackers!
You guys are not just smart vloggers ..you weighed things in perspective...you appreciate lots in our country and yes i boost our kindness..Thank You so MUCH for staying long. We love you guys❤💚💖
Your thoughts are so honest and interesting. It is nice to know that you have observed life in our islands like it truly is. Nice to know that you guys are learning a lot and having fun while doing it.
What the frack! Time really flew so fast! Happy Epic 6 months biscuit bois!🤘 You have come a long way! And you're doing great! Always no dull moments whenever you talk and share your thoughts and observations! We love you BIG time! Thanks for loving the Philippines and the Pinoy Frackers!😎🤘
Hello guys😊 Thank you for visiting our country and love to hear ur comments/observations about Filipinos and the places you've been to❤️ Hope you enjoyed your trip and had much fun🤗😉
When you guys first got there, I thought you'd last 3 weeks tops. I gotta say, I'm proud of you guys. I've been watching your vlog for 6 months now and well done boys.
You have spoken about your honest thoughts in a very respectful manner but a cheerful one. I like the way how you guys managed to make your videos very informative yet entertaining to watch. I couldn't wait to see your unexpected travel video in the Philippines. I wonder where could it be? 😀
It's okay to be honest When it comes to your expectations and experiences while traveling it will help a lot to improve what needs to do to a certain things.. We really love to hear the best things about our country and we are also open for your concern... it's good that you do research before you came in...more power and be safe.
Efficiency is the least you'd expect here if you're used to how things work in the States. But on the other hand, it'll help you develop tons of patience.
Great 6 month/update feedback. Plus for people who have never visited the Philippines before moving here, you've adapted quite fast even with regards to inconveniences. Looking forward to your Baguio video. Are you also going to Sagada, Vigan and La Union?
The waiting issues in the Philippines make you live at a lot slower pace. From the way you're talking, it looks like you're already fully integrated in the country. Kudos to you and more power to your channel.
I like your detailed experiences in the Philippines. I like the part where you mentioned you are familiar with the prices in the country and compare it to other countries.
Wow! This is one of the best honest "review" and recap of your experiences. You are spot on. So true about the "danger" side of living here, but it's just a way of us, Filipinos, to inform you to be extra careful, but at the end of day, you're still safe. The waiting is true too, the process/system should be improve. You are one of my favorite youtubers, because you are the only ones who are doing things that ordinary Pinoys do, as shown in MOST of your vlogs, like commuting, eating at fast foods and etc, you're not doing them just for the sake of the vlog, you are literally living the life of the majority, that's why your observations are genuinely spot on. I hope that you'll stay longer, and I know for sure that you will definitely miss the 🇵🇭 once you decided to move in to another country, because there's no other country that will offer you, friendliness/hospitality, no language barrier and cheaper cost of living, ALL COMBINED.
Good observations guys. You are so good to accept and be patient about all these things. Others would have complained and keep complaining and compare how much better it is somewhere else like the USA as point of comparison and then conclude how the Phils is not good based on US standards or somewhere else. Remember this is Third World country and these things we also wish improved a lot. So, thank you for your understanding and patience and most of all honest but not bashing the Phils but definitely there is a lot of room for improvement and for things to be more efficient. Appreciate you guys! Next video - what you love most about the Philippines! 🇵🇭
Great to know all your observations here in Philippines good or bad you both adopted to our culture and hope some that you observe not interesting will change for the future wish you Goodluck and Godbless
Yeah that's an honest opinion with your 6months experience here. So glad that most of my questions were talked about cost of living, transportitaion , safetiness and general perspective from staying here.. Been able to travel from different countries, I definitely agree of how much time consuming in most everyday transactions here, the que line whenever you purchase & made payment, travelling from one destination to another etc. the slow system were really irritating most of the times. Sad to say never experienced it from other countries at all especially the very fast pacing life style there. But we're still hoping for more fast improvement changes to enjoy an easy way of living all over the country.
Tifate...I'm from Phils. Leaving in canada. Thank you for visiting our country and showing the Phils. Around the world. Thank you for visiting our country, no matter what people say just do your vlogg and enjoy your visit. What your comments are they are all true. Been there n visit my family and that's how it is. I'm glad you had fun. We are all proud of you both.
Thank you for recognizing our country for speaking more fluent english than any other country that you have visited. Well trafic is basically normal yet still annoying but we have to adjust to this situation and make it more fun to travel.. Filipinos are very friendly people and we hoped that you will still want to visit us.
Wow Trifate, I didn't realise that it's been 6 epic fracken months here in chaotic Philippines 😄👍🫶 I hope you've been enjoying your stay here and looking forward to more happy, funny and beautiful experiences. Be safe, guys, and God bless always 🙏 ♥️ 🍀
Your thoughts are pretty much spot on especially on the prices and the proficiency of the English language. Continue having fun and continue to be safe.
Excellent..probably is a good thing to know the deficiencies that our kababayan needs to improve so we can make adjustments to correct it..services the one you mentioned. Immigration, fast food ,transportation 😋 so can be more convenient to the visitors around the world including Filipino..thank you guys..
Its very common for people here to say be carefull of that place, or dont go to that place, etc., Im Filipino and my foster mother would always remind me of that every single time I go out, she will say becarefull of your bags, dont put it in your back, dont go to that place etc., Really, theyre just concern and they dont want anything bad to happen to you.
I am just so green with envy of you guys. I was born in Manila (and now live in Canada) but I never did extensive travel to most parts of the Philippines the way you guys did.
What I love about you guys is that you are not sugarcoating what you think...and that is what we need to hear and know so we can change for the better...keep doing what you're doing...you entertain me....I don't comment a lot but I like every video you have ....I'm happy that you guys can travel as such a young age. I did that too before I settled down and raised a family...now I'm ready to travel again...believe it ot not but you guys have seen more of the Philippines than a regular Filipino...
I'm from Manila. In all of the Philippines, you will find the sweet people in Iloilo. Even the intonation in their dialect is sweet that you can't tell if they're already mad. Ilonggos are the sweetest! I love visiting Iloilo and Bacolod!
7:12 as a former jollibee employee here in the US our procedures here are very strict lots of staff assigned at every shift too so we get the job done real quick hence the fast food👌
Iam a filipino teenager who is has been living in the ph for a month now. I grew up in Abu Dhabi UAE and i suggest for you guys to live there for 6months you'll be shock on how organize it is
As someone from Iloilo, we rarely see foreigners. It's only in the recent years that there is an uptick of foreigners but it's still not a lot. Very rare. Growing up the foreigners I saw used to be missionaries but they mainly went to the rural municipalities. I went to Bacolod for a day and there was significantly more foreigners. Honestly, I don't know if I want Iloilo to become a touristy city. For so long we've been ignored to the point that majority of the developments are catered towards locals and in making life for the locals better/more entertaining.
I like how, unlike other foreign vloggers traveling or staying in this country, you seem to have had a deeper and more accurate feel for what it's like over here versus, for instance, just staying in BGC or, on the flipside, going to poor or remote areas, or just commenting on how great the beaches are. You've actually lived here and gotten a more well-rounded insight on what it's like. LOL on converting prices in other countries to pesos. IKR. Love your vlogs. More power. You're also not like other vloggers who are like Filipino-baiting or something. You're really just vlogging vlogging, if you get what I mean. Not saying, wow this is GREAT in the Philippines. LOL. Appreciate the honesty. Also in contrast to other expat Americans who actually whine about every little thing such as, for instance, the fish here having bones LOL. Like they don't even take time to get the proper perspective and start criticizing. You, in contrast, have really immersed yourselves in the culture and way of life as much as you could, before commenting. Good job.
try to visit marilaque highway east from manila situated in arikina to infanta road and you can witness the sea of clouds from treasure mountains the daranak fall of tanay rizal, and the surrounding dine in resto along the marilaque highway there is so many nature adventure you can visit .
Been following this channel for a while now and have totally enjoyed their wacky adventures. Interesting perpectives from two young american guys. Amazing how they've adjusted so well with the chaotic life in PH. I think pinoys tend to be more comfortable around americans.
So glad you guys mentioned Iloilo people here are so kind and respectful. I hope you guys can travel back here soon. The peace this city brings is really something.
What I like about you guys is that, one can tell that you guys are really smart. The observations are on point. When you mentioned that Lays and other brands are more expensive, that is because they are imported. Those that are locally produced like Nova, will surely cost a lot less. The locals also live on tighter budget. The DAILY minimum wage in Metro Manila is around 500+ pesos , and for many families, they have to live with that amount, which includes their daily meals, budget for utililies, rent, transportation, etc. On the other end of the spectrum, there are also a lot of affluent people, especially in Metro Manila and other big cities, who can afford luxury goods, and eating out like you guys, on a daily basis. Now that I think about it, it is really crazy! 😊😊😊
thank you very much, your honest opinion about the Philippines, if you like more to learn about the good things Filipinos, like culture, about attitudes, foods , beautiful beaches, beautiful places 🥰😘 staying here as long you want, keep safe and good health 💖💯💪 GOD BLESS 💓🙏💖💯💪
Love having you here in our country Tyler and Isaac the dynamic duo behind Trifate lifestyle...do come and visit the gastronomic capital of the PHILIPPINES and my Region which is the city of Pampanga.
Man, another awesome video. And I apologize I've been watching you guys for about a month already and only now did I realize I haven't subscribed yet 😬 This video sums up exactly why you're both my favorite foreign vloggers. Just like your videos and editing style, you guys are just so honest and sincere about your experiences. Watching you guys is like literally watching backpackers/ tourists going about their day, with a camera following them. Nothing is contrived, or assembled with the agenda to "Pinoy Bait" (which is something very common for many foreign channels). You guys are just doing your thing, having fun, and bringing us along with you. And I love you guys for that 🙌🍻 Great observations btw! Many of your points are stuff that I'd be expecting foreigners to say, but many I also didn't know, like how you were treated significantly differently in different cities. It's interesting how much insight you both have on the country, and I'm grateful that you're sharing them sincerely, because you've seen more of my country then I have 🤣 Something which you'll notice is prevalent with many Filipinos versus their foreign tourist counterparts. Lol! Always entertaining, also enlightening, and always lots of enjoyment coming from you guys. Thanks for everything, and looking forward to more of your travels! 🙌🍻🤙 Oh btw! The restaurant "Gerry's" is pronounced as "Jerry's". And the Tuktuk's are known locally as "Tricycles". Just a few tips! 😊🙌
The comments about Cebuano hospitality/friendliness stung for a few seconds, then I realized they're quite accurate 😅 Cebuanos aren't exactly rude per se, it's probably more like having an IDGAF view on things? We're probably the Filipino version of New Yorkers haha. Another commenter mentioned that the Cebuano accent might also be a factor since it's more terse and abrupt than Tagalog and other Filipino languages. Like, people from Cebu and Negros Oriental have the same language, but my Negrense cousins sound so sweet when they speak and I just end sounding angry when compared to them lol
As a fellow Cebuano, I didn’t even realize how much we don’t give AF about a lot of things until you mentioned it 😂 Then I thought of my circle of friends and how we casually make ruckus when we hang out and nobody around us will give AF about us. As long as we’re not doing anything illegal or troublesome, nobody will give AF. I feel like it has become an unwritten rule in Cebu though. With that said, I believe we’re no less friendly or happy than any other Filipinos. We’re usually pretty chill and we know how to have fun. Also, I think our exposure to foreigners or international tourists in general is one of the factors why these two felt like Cebuanos are timid or aloof as compared to other locals. We’re so used to foreign tourists that we don’t really feel anything special when they’re around since foreign and local travelers are daily encounters in Cebu. There’s nothing new or special about them being here in Cebu.
Ive watched your vlogs touring the Philippines and using public transportation.I can say,you are now very familiar with using public transpo. Other reviews,is very honest,good to see you have observed the challenges,the culture,attitudes etc.
Keep it up guys. You have a good thing going there promoting the Philippines and telling it as it is. Always have fun but stay safe. God bless you guys.
Thank you for visiting Philippines. Im happy that you have a good and happy experience and very happy that you are so appreciative. Filipinos will always welcome you here in our country.
Yes, Iloilo, City of Love because they are friendly and soft spoken. They say you can’t even tell if they’re mad (unlike for example, Batangeuños and I’m Batangueña which is a Dialect of Tagalog/Filipino. Iloilo speaks Ilonggo, a different language). I’ve been to Cebu too for work and they’re not that hospitable but when I went again with a co-worker who’s Bisaya and can speak Bisaya (another, different language), people felt warmer. Idk why, but this is just an observation. It’s not that they’re rude, just less warm than when I’m with someone who can speak their language, like a totally different experience.
If you encounter a filipino that you dont feel he/she is kind or friendly.. It is because they feel that their english is limited. They feel shy or scared to talk because of their limited english.
I'm surprised how observant u guys and u absolutely nailed it! As a frequent traveler as well there are 2 types of locals u can meet or deal with. Either an extrovert,confident and extremely helpful or an introvert, shy, afraid to be judged and sometimes don't care at all type... Thank u for ur honest opinion! Btw ur one of the coolest vloggers I've watched! New sub here More power to ur vlogs!👌👌👌 EPIC!🙌🙂
I’ve shared your video to Dept of Tourism in messenger I hope they watch and do something to improve. I work overseas in Singapore and spot on in efficiency.
Have you heard of Majayjay falls beside the Mount Banahaw? I suggest you also visit there and also the "Kamay ni Hesus" in Lucban, Quezon (perfect for Lenten season)
What do you think of our HONEST Thoughts? :)
You guys are in no immediate Danger from me! But you have to warn Duck that I am after him ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😛
On point
Do you consider yourselves as 'Passport bros'? 😂😂😂😂
The danger is there just be safe, once you experience it, you can say I am one in a thousand if not one in one hundred thousand. Just always be on your guard!!
I agree with all of what you've said here...100%. 😄
Love philippines from Albania,Godbless that amazinv country and amazing people ❤
Well done kids.... So glad for your review of my country and all your observations are exactly right .
What I want to ask you is to please my beautiful city which is never given a lot of visits by the bloggers to be promoted as one of the great experiences to explore in the Philippines....Davao City and it's surrounding beautiful natures 8n Bukidnon area and samal Island beaches to dive or snorkel. It's because of the unfair old perceptions about Mindanao....but things are totally different now in mindanao. Hope you'll include Davao. BTW I use to live in USA 42 yrs...I'll be returning there this yr for good.
You must try exploring the beauty of Mindanao too
Thank you...

Very well said,...totally agreed
All those pinoys that insult their country while escaping to greener pastures are cowards,you heard me cowards
They'll blend in with the lifestyle of north america,western europe or what have you,they're embarassed to be filipino
They had the skills to improve the ph but instead chose to run but they'll shout pinoy pride whenever diaz snatches another medal
If you're leaving to provide for your family that's understandable but what gives you the right to sell out/insult your country
Good to see foreigners see the potential in the ph while the colonial crab minded peenoise
Will run at the first sign of trouble
I agree. whatever people say you cant deny there is progress even there's a lot of negative. imagine how hard it is to run even a small business, now, multiply it by a thousand if u run a country.
You're not alone guys. When I went back to the Philippines with my family after several years here in the USA, I was shocked by the traffic and the long hours of commute. It wasn't like that back then. But, the love, the warmth, the kindness of the people, the hospitality is something I would come back to.
I think it got much better. went back home last January and haven't been home for 13 years before that.

Thank you for loving our beloved country, the Philippines. It is not only the Pearl of the Orient but a land of many paradise islands.
Wow thank you Guys very epic ha. ha.. 😀

Would love to see you Guys stream while playing Games that would be fracking epic! And you can answer the questions live while streaming that’s one less video to Edit
Haha thanks, we could maybe try to set something of the sort up! :) Thanks again for the support!
Thank you guys for appreciating our country. Your positive thoughts about the Philippines means so much, especially to other travellers who are planning to visit our country. 🥰👍👍❤
Thanks for bringing back Ducky on your video 😂 we miss the fracker...
Thank you so much!! And you will be relieved to hear that I just washed him recently, so you'll see him looking nice and fresh in the videos soon 😂
Thank you for sharing your Honest and Open-minded thoughts about our country. It's very interesting to listen to a visitor's point of view of what's life like in here.
It seems like your openness to adventures and to new things in general helps you to adjust well to new environments, and it shows!
Looking forward to more of your adventures frackers!
You guys are not just smart vloggers ..you weighed things in perspective...you appreciate lots in our country and yes i boost our kindness..Thank You so MUCH for staying long. We love you guys❤💚💖
Your thoughts are so honest and interesting. It is nice to know that you have observed life in our islands like it truly is.
Nice to know that you guys are learning a lot and having fun while doing it.
What the frack! Time really flew so fast! Happy Epic 6 months biscuit bois!🤘 You have come a long way! And you're doing great! Always no dull moments whenever you talk and share your thoughts and observations! We love you BIG time! Thanks for loving the Philippines and the Pinoy Frackers!😎🤘
Hello guys😊
Thank you for visiting our country and love to hear ur comments/observations about Filipinos and the places you've been to❤️
Hope you enjoyed your trip and had much fun🤗😉
When you guys first got there, I thought you'd last 3 weeks tops. I gotta say, I'm proud of you guys. I've been watching your vlog for 6 months now and well done boys.
You have spoken about your honest thoughts in a very respectful manner but a cheerful one. I like the way how you guys managed to make your videos very informative yet entertaining to watch. I couldn't wait to see your unexpected travel video in the Philippines. I wonder where could it be? 😀
It's okay to be honest When it comes to your expectations and experiences while traveling it will help a lot to improve what needs to do to a certain things..
We really love to hear the best things about our country and we are also open for your concern... it's good that you do research before you came in...more power and be safe.
Many things have changed in the Philippines its safe and even if you go to other country there is danger.
The inefficiency and bureaucracy are things I don’t miss when I go back to Manila. And the heat. But otherwise, I do miss home.
How time flies. ☺️ Isn't it epic, from more or less 10k subs when you came here, you're now on your road to 100k. 💪😎 Congratulations!!!! 🎉🍾👏
Did you list it down since before, your so fanatic frackers!!!
Try to visit in Baguio..so that you can experience more and learn more about the philippines culture and scenery...try to visit baguio
Efficiency is the least you'd expect here if you're used to how things work in the States. But on the other hand, it'll help you develop tons of patience.
Great 6 month/update feedback. Plus for people who have never visited the Philippines before moving here, you've adapted quite fast even with regards to inconveniences. Looking forward to your Baguio video. Are you also going to Sagada, Vigan and La Union?
Danger is always present in any places ,you just have to be cautious everytime.Thank you for loving Philippines 🥰💙
The waiting issues in the Philippines make you live at a lot slower pace. From the way you're talking, it looks like you're already fully integrated in the country. Kudos to you and more power to your channel.
It's started for sb19..now happy to see u guys enjoying stay here in the Philippines..
I like your detailed experiences in the Philippines. I like the part where you mentioned you are familiar with the prices in the country and compare it to other countries.
Wow! This is one of the best honest "review" and recap of your experiences. You are spot on. So true about the "danger" side of living here, but it's just a way of us, Filipinos, to inform you to be extra careful, but at the end of day, you're still safe. The waiting is true too, the process/system should be improve.
You are one of my favorite youtubers, because you are the only ones who are doing things that ordinary Pinoys do, as shown in MOST of your vlogs, like commuting, eating at fast foods and etc, you're not doing them just for the sake of the vlog, you are literally living the life of the majority, that's why your observations are genuinely spot on.
I hope that you'll stay longer, and I know for sure that you will definitely miss the 🇵🇭 once you decided to move in to another country, because there's no other country that will offer you, friendliness/hospitality, no language barrier and cheaper cost of living, ALL COMBINED.
Good observations guys. You are so good to accept and be patient about all these things. Others would have complained and keep complaining and compare how much better it is somewhere else like the USA as point of comparison and then conclude how the Phils is not good based on US standards or somewhere else. Remember this is Third World country and these things we also wish improved a lot. So, thank you for your understanding and patience and most of all honest but not bashing the Phils but definitely there is a lot of room for improvement and for things to be more efficient. Appreciate you guys! Next video - what you love most about the Philippines! 🇵🇭
Great to know all your observations here in Philippines good or bad you both adopted to our culture and hope some that you observe not interesting will change for the future wish you Goodluck and Godbless
Yeah that's an honest opinion with your 6months experience here. So glad that most of my questions were talked about cost of living, transportitaion , safetiness and general perspective from staying here..
Been able to travel from different countries, I definitely agree of how much time consuming in most everyday transactions here, the que line whenever you purchase & made payment, travelling from one destination to another etc. the slow system were really irritating most of the times. Sad to say never experienced it from other countries at all especially the very fast pacing life style there. But we're still hoping for more fast improvement changes to enjoy an easy way of living all over the country.
Tifate...I'm from Phils. Leaving in canada. Thank you for visiting our country and showing the Phils. Around the world. Thank you for visiting our country, no matter what people say just do your vlogg and enjoy your visit. What your comments are they are all true. Been there n visit my family and that's how it is. I'm glad you had fun. We are all proud of you both.
Thank you for recognizing our country for speaking more fluent english than any other country that you have visited. Well trafic is basically normal yet still annoying but we have to adjust to this situation and make it more fun to travel.. Filipinos are very friendly people and we hoped that you will still want to visit us.

You are not only funny, but you are also meticulously perceptive, sharp, smart and profound.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️
Wow Trifate, I didn't realise that it's been 6 epic fracken months here in chaotic Philippines 😄👍🫶 I hope you've been enjoying your stay here and looking forward to more happy, funny and beautiful experiences. Be safe, guys, and God bless always 🙏 ♥️ 🍀
It's heart warming to know that you're loving our country so far. Thanks for taking time to stay here. You are always welcome here.
Your thoughts are pretty much spot on especially on the prices and the proficiency of the English language. Continue having fun and continue to be safe.
Thank you for enjoying the most happiest and very welcoming country in ASIA, The Philippines!
Excellent..probably is a good thing to know the deficiencies that our kababayan needs to improve so we can make adjustments to correct it..services the one you mentioned. Immigration, fast food ,transportation 😋 so can be more convenient to the visitors around the world including Filipino..thank you guys..
Its very common for people here to say be carefull of that place, or dont go to that place, etc., Im Filipino and my foster mother would always remind me of that every single time I go out, she will say becarefull of your bags, dont put it in your back, dont go to that place etc., Really, theyre just concern and they dont want anything bad to happen to you.
I am just so green with envy of you guys. I was born in Manila (and now live in Canada) but I never did extensive travel to most parts of the Philippines the way you guys did.
What I love about you guys is that you are not sugarcoating what you think...and that is what we need to hear and know so we can change for the better...keep doing what you're doing...you entertain me....I don't comment a lot but I like every video you have ....I'm happy that you guys can travel as such a young age. I did that too before I settled down and raised a family...now I'm ready to travel again...believe it ot not but you guys have seen more of the Philippines than a regular Filipino...
I like this kind of video. Good job guys. Always take care and God Bless.
I'm from Manila. In all of the Philippines, you will find the sweet people in Iloilo. Even the intonation in their dialect is sweet that you can't tell if they're already mad. Ilonggos are the sweetest! I love visiting Iloilo and Bacolod!
Ilongga here! Iloilo is the city of love ❤️
7:12 as a former jollibee employee here in the US our procedures here are very strict lots of staff assigned at every shift too so we get the job done real quick hence the fast food👌
I like you vlog content.. Philippines try other places like province contents many beautiful places in the Philippines
Iam a filipino teenager who is has been living in the ph for a month now. I grew up in Abu Dhabi UAE and i suggest for you guys to live there for 6months you'll be shock on how organize it is
As someone from Iloilo, we rarely see foreigners. It's only in the recent years that there is an uptick of foreigners but it's still not a lot. Very rare. Growing up the foreigners I saw used to be missionaries but they mainly went to the rural municipalities.
I went to Bacolod for a day and there was significantly more foreigners.
Honestly, I don't know if I want Iloilo to become a touristy city. For so long we've been ignored to the point that majority of the developments are catered towards locals and in making life for the locals better/more entertaining.
Your outsider perspective is much appreciated especially the flaws of the public transport. This may be useful in the future.
I like how, unlike other foreign vloggers traveling or staying in this country, you seem to have had a deeper and more accurate feel for what it's like over here versus, for instance, just staying in BGC or, on the flipside, going to poor or remote areas, or just commenting on how great the beaches are. You've actually lived here and gotten a more well-rounded insight on what it's like. LOL on converting prices in other countries to pesos. IKR. Love your vlogs. More power. You're also not like other vloggers who are like Filipino-baiting or something. You're really just vlogging vlogging, if you get what I mean. Not saying, wow this is GREAT in the Philippines. LOL. Appreciate the honesty. Also in contrast to other expat Americans who actually whine about every little thing such as, for instance, the fish here having bones LOL. Like they don't even take time to get the proper perspective and start criticizing. You, in contrast, have really immersed yourselves in the culture and way of life as much as you could, before commenting. Good job.
Happy 6 months in the Phililippines, guys! Thank you for making awesome videos. You guys are relieving my homesickness since im im Canada.
You should go to Bacolod then visit Mambukal and Campuestohan.
Thank you so much for visiting our country. ❤.
try to visit marilaque highway east from manila situated in arikina to infanta road and you can witness the sea of clouds from treasure mountains the daranak fall of tanay rizal, and the surrounding dine in resto along the marilaque highway there is so many nature adventure you can visit .
Been following this channel for a while now and have totally enjoyed their wacky adventures. Interesting perpectives from two young american guys. Amazing how they've adjusted so well with the chaotic life in PH. I think pinoys tend to be more comfortable around americans.
So glad you guys mentioned Iloilo people here are so kind and respectful. I hope you guys can travel back here soon. The peace this city brings is really something.
Thank you for loving and accepting the Philippines...pls. do come back and enjoy more of what our contry van offer...
Thanks for loving our country. Take care. God bless.
I love this very honest thoughts. You're both half Filipinos now.
Wow it's just so amazing to know that you stayed 6 months already there in the Philippines. Cheering you guys for your future endeavors. 💙🥰
What I like about you guys is that, one can tell that you guys are really smart. The observations are on point. When you mentioned that Lays and other brands are more expensive, that is because they are imported. Those that are locally produced like Nova, will surely cost a lot less. The locals also live on tighter budget. The DAILY minimum wage in Metro Manila is around 500+ pesos , and for many families, they have to live with that amount, which includes their daily meals, budget for utililies, rent, transportation, etc. On the other end of the spectrum, there are also a lot of affluent people, especially in Metro Manila and other big cities, who can afford luxury goods, and eating out like you guys, on a daily basis. Now that I think about it, it is really crazy! 😊😊😊
By far, best feedback from foreigners who tried living in the Philippines.
thank you very much, your honest opinion about the Philippines, if you like more to learn about the good things Filipinos, like culture, about attitudes, foods , beautiful beaches, beautiful places 🥰😘 staying here as long you want, keep safe and good health 💖💯💪 GOD BLESS 💓🙏💖💯💪
jz love watching ur vligs guys, ur thoughts are very well said and true . Thanx for ur honest opinion about our country.
Love having you here in our country Tyler and Isaac the dynamic duo behind Trifate lifestyle...do come and visit the gastronomic capital of the PHILIPPINES and my Region which is the city of Pampanga.
thanks for sharing your experienced with us.
Mabuhay Philippines wooohoooo gogogo Frackers.. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭💗💗💗
Man, another awesome video. And I apologize I've been watching you guys for about a month already and only now did I realize I haven't subscribed yet 😬 This video sums up exactly why you're both my favorite foreign vloggers. Just like your videos and editing style, you guys are just so honest and sincere about your experiences. Watching you guys is like literally watching backpackers/ tourists going about their day, with a camera following them. Nothing is contrived, or assembled with the agenda to "Pinoy Bait" (which is something very common for many foreign channels). You guys are just doing your thing, having fun, and bringing us along with you. And I love you guys for that 🙌🍻
Great observations btw! Many of your points are stuff that I'd be expecting foreigners to say, but many I also didn't know, like how you were treated significantly differently in different cities. It's interesting how much insight you both have on the country, and I'm grateful that you're sharing them sincerely, because you've seen more of my country then I have 🤣 Something which you'll notice is prevalent with many Filipinos versus their foreign tourist counterparts. Lol!
Always entertaining, also enlightening, and always lots of enjoyment coming from you guys. Thanks for everything, and looking forward to more of your travels! 🙌🍻🤙
Oh btw! The restaurant "Gerry's" is pronounced as "Jerry's". And the Tuktuk's are known locally as "Tricycles". Just a few tips! 😊🙌
Thanks for liking the Philippines. It's nice to see foreigners having a great time here.
The comments about Cebuano hospitality/friendliness stung for a few seconds, then I realized they're quite accurate 😅 Cebuanos aren't exactly rude per se, it's probably more like having an IDGAF view on things? We're probably the Filipino version of New Yorkers haha.
Another commenter mentioned that the Cebuano accent might also be a factor since it's more terse and abrupt than Tagalog and other Filipino languages. Like, people from Cebu and Negros Oriental have the same language, but my Negrense cousins sound so sweet when they speak and I just end sounding angry when compared to them lol
As a fellow Cebuano, I didn’t even realize how much we don’t give AF about a lot of things until you mentioned it 😂 Then I thought of my circle of friends and how we casually make ruckus when we hang out and nobody around us will give AF about us. As long as we’re not doing anything illegal or troublesome, nobody will give AF. I feel like it has become an unwritten rule in Cebu though. With that said, I believe we’re no less friendly or happy than any other Filipinos. We’re usually pretty chill and we know how to have fun.
Also, I think our exposure to foreigners or international tourists in general is one of the factors why these two felt like Cebuanos are timid or aloof as compared to other locals. We’re so used to foreign tourists that we don’t really feel anything special when they’re around since foreign and local travelers are daily encounters in Cebu. There’s nothing new or special about them being here in Cebu.
Ive watched your vlogs touring the Philippines and using public transportation.I can say,you are now very familiar with using public transpo. Other reviews,is very honest,good to see you have observed the challenges,the culture,attitudes etc.
i really enjoyed watching from start to end without skipping the ads
I never thought you guys will last that long in the Philippines! You made it through the heat and humidity :)
Keep it up guys. You have a good thing going there promoting the Philippines and telling it as it is. Always have fun but stay safe. God bless you guys.
Thank you for visiting Philippines. Im happy that you have a good and happy experience and very happy that you are so appreciative. Filipinos will always welcome you here in our country.
Yes, Iloilo, City of Love because they are friendly and soft spoken. They say you can’t even tell if they’re mad (unlike for example, Batangeuños and I’m Batangueña which is a Dialect of Tagalog/Filipino. Iloilo speaks Ilonggo, a different language). I’ve been to Cebu too for work and they’re not that hospitable but when I went again with a co-worker who’s Bisaya and can speak Bisaya (another, different language), people felt warmer. Idk why, but this is just an observation. It’s not that they’re rude, just less warm than when I’m with someone who can speak their language, like a totally different experience.
Hello tyler n isaac enjoy here in the philippines hope u stay here more months god bless🥰
I just moved here in the US from Philippines and now looking at your vlogs, I terribly miss my country. Philippines is home!
If you encounter a filipino that you dont feel he/she is kind or friendly.. It is because they feel that their english is limited. They feel shy or scared to talk because of their limited english.
Summer time. Time to enjoy islands and beaches
For six months staying in the Philippines you learned a lot love to hear that.Thank you ..I wanna see your vlog in Baguio ..
thank you for appreciating the philippines! 🇵🇭 we love you trifate!!! ❤️❤️❤️
You two are very adorable. Very genuine kind of people
I'm surprised how observant u guys and u absolutely nailed it! As a frequent traveler as well there are 2 types of locals u can meet or deal with. Either an extrovert,confident and extremely helpful or an introvert, shy, afraid to be judged and sometimes don't care at all type... Thank u for ur honest opinion! Btw ur one of the coolest vloggers I've watched! New sub here More power to ur vlogs!👌👌👌 EPIC!🙌🙂
I’ve shared your video to Dept of Tourism in messenger I hope they watch and do something to improve.
I work overseas in Singapore and spot on in efficiency.
Have you heard of Majayjay falls beside the Mount Banahaw? I suggest you also visit there and also the "Kamay ni Hesus" in Lucban, Quezon (perfect for Lenten season)
thank you for visiting us - now we can say that once, Trifate had been here and made our days brighter with their smiles :)
We hope you guys are doing well. God bless you both.
