The most important thing is that you never gave up and you kept pushing through. You've come some so much farther than anyone would have expected you to. Your success is no mistake, it's the path God has set for you (Don't know if you're deeply religious, and believe in a God, but I personally feel like it was divine intervention).
Wow Pea! You just skyrocketed in my (and all your other fans I'm sure) estimation! Deep respect and admiration to you for your tenacity and hard work! I finally made it out here a few weeks ago, and am just taking my time, trying to lay a foundation for a successful and comfortable life here in this beautiful land. I now have a new person who's example is more than noteworthy! Thank you for your candor.
Wait, you're *not* one of the "beautiful" Filipinas? That's blasphemous. Your story brought me to tears and I'm glad you've been able to turn your life around.
I'm a professional writer and am often impressed with how much writing Pea does for her videos. She's a gifted writer and puts a great deal of work into it.
Pea you are exactly the type of kind, caring and resilient lady that every man wants to spend their life with. Your personality is more than enough for anyone and rest assured you do not lack in beauty. From Australia
You are wonderful in many ways, true, but you also are high energy, driven, detailed observer, deep thinker, emotionally sensitive and after all your success, wealth and kudos maybe high expectations and high maintenance for any new man in your life. You better aim at the top “ First Lady” 👸🏻
I consider myself so fortunate to have come across this video! You are a jewel of a human being. I have fallen in love with you; you are so special. This world would be so poorer without your presence in it.
I enjoy your videos, and this is my first time to reply. Keep up the good work Make sure that new man in your life treat you right and you treat him accordingly.
This is probably the most important video you have made. If you give one girl hope overcoming a hopeless situation it becomes a public service. Bless you Angel Pea.
I'm married and I love my wife very very much. But I always thought you'd make an AMAZING wife. You are smart, funny, beautiful, you have your head on straight, and you know so much American culture. Remember, you have over 300k subscribers for a reason, and it's not JUST your beauty, but your brilliance and humor. You are AWESOME and I am sure there are over 300,000 people that agree with me. We all love you very much!!!
Wow, an amazing video. Thank you so much for sharing. A lot of people on You Tube would be apprehensive to do a personal reveal. You are brave. Word of advice...Never sell yourself short! You have so much going for you! You've taken something that you're good at and have made it fun and successful. You are a success in work as an ambassador of the Philippines, and so much more as a person.❤ and future great endeavors.
Hey Pea I'm a guy that always watches but never comments. I had to comment today your story was deeply moving. Just want you to know that you are loved, your subscribers may have changed your life. But you have impacted our lives so very much. God bless you with your continued success!!!!
I am one person who normally don't easily get hooked up on anything from anyone. I somehow have to accept that you have gradually managed to change that in me There is one honest credit I have to give you because of how you present your topics. Not only are you honest in your presentations you are also not taking sides and explore more sides to your topics. It's not easy for people to talk openly about their private life, your upbringing. You are more matured than you realize and your videos have a quality that's unmatched. You become wiser and more broader in your presentations. I just want to thank you for the commitment I see in your work and the delight it brings in not only you but the viewers as well. You will reap good benefits in the long run. Keep this good work up.
I hate to see you cry Pea. I’ve followed this channel for years. You’ve taught me so much about the Philippines. Thanks for all your videos. God bless you.
Retired expat psychiatrist living in the Philippines. Wow! What a video. You made me put back my psychoanalytic hat on… Didn’t think I’d be doing that here in the Philippines, but basically when we don’t learn good model behavior from our father and mother there are gaps in our personality as we grow up. It’s a fancy term called object relations theory and object constancy. What it means is we have a hard time having a strong positive sense of self as kids. Because we didn’t see it or experience it growing up. So we get our sense of self from external things like accomplishment and praise. And when people we trust or love criticize us we take it very personally. It’s hard to differentiate criticism of our actions from criticism of our character. And positive sense of self comes from external things like good grades in school or on a test or performance reviews at work or affection or affirmation from our partners.. it’s fleeting and not internally stable. But with enough life experiences particularly positive ones, that internal sense of self becomes stronger and we learn that it’s ok to be “good enough “ and we don’t need to please others or be perfect to be happy. Looks like you’re in the process of that “corrective emotional experience “ that “corrects” the ending to your story :) happy to see it..
Very interesting insights! Since I am talking to a Filipina with similar experiences and "issues" with her self-being, I would love to hear more about how I can support her and what are the big NoNos I must avoid. Can we get in touch somehow?
Childhood can be brutal. It can shape your entire life. But you have grown to be an intelligent, caring, funny, generous and beautiful woman. I'm sure your story is not a rare one. You are MORE than good enough, Pea. God bless you.
Thanks for sharing your very sad past Pea. It was heartbreaking to here your struggles. You have been so strong to get through this to become the beautiful, successful & talented lady you are now. Please don't ever think you aren't good enough, because you definitely are 100%. I love watching your channel & learn so much about Philippino life & culture. It's worth it just to see your beautiful smile & listen to your wonderful humour. Take care Pea & God bless you hun 🙏
I never leave comments, but this video is the BEST Pea video EVER! Thank you for sharing a little bit of your personal life and being vulnerable and honest.
OMG Pea, your story just broke me. I was on other sites before stumbling on yours. In my honest opinion, you are the best in this genre of valuable incites and informative information about the Philippines, it's culture, traditions, and Filipinas. If you didn't share your story, I wouldn't have known the hardships you've endured. I will give you my truth, this is not who I see. Your advice has never steered me wrong. In fact, I credit you in helping me find my true love. Despite your past, you have come a long way. You have shown us all your determination, perseverance and resiliency. You are not that little girl anymore. Self doubt can cloud our judgment of how we see ourselves, but I feel I am in the majority that would tell you, you've come a long way and that you are the best of what the Philippines offer. Never doubt yourself. Keep pushing yourself to be better. You are the pearl of the orient. You are appreciated and all of your incites have been incredibly valuable. Thank you for sharing.
Do not say sorry for crying. Its good to let it out sometimes and its true emotion from your past. and you are worth it. you help alot of people and give good advice to many. you are a wonderful human being.
It's 100% fair to say you have triumphed over enormous challenges. There's nothing phony about the love and admiration your fans have for you Pea. You are strong and talented ... be happy and proud.
@metubenoggin07 As a Filipina, I was raised by a single mom in a poor household. I've been working since I was 18, and I worked hard to continue my college education. After I graduated, I had to support my family. Her story is very similar to mine, and she inspires me so much.
Sweet beautiful little pea, I have been through many of the same things as you. Mine is a long story, but just know that you are not alone. You are deeply loved by we who watch you. As a 67 year old American man, I also was bullied, made fun of because I was from a poor family and had learning disability. I now am a well known movie costume designer. As for you not feeling pretty, that is the craziest thing I’ve ever heard. You are a very beautiful woman with a very loving way about you. Any man in the world would be very lucky to have a wife like you. Keep pushing forward sweet pea, all will work out for you. God bless you.
Oh my gosh- I feel worthless. I know I am not but I don't seem to be wanted by anyone. YOU are priceless Pea and a TREASURE. Please don't feel any different or let ANYONE tell you otherwise.
You can’t ‘save’ them unless they voluntarily and completely cut off their mother. Otherwise you are marrying her mother as she does everything she says. I’m posting this as that ‘sympathy’ you have is what gets you completely fucked. As while these girls treat people who hate them like kings. Those who love and care about them they treat like pure garbage. So, as an example she shits all over Filipino men, while being super nice and sweet to us foreigners. They call it ‘inclusion’. It’s a way to emasculate the men who care about them. So if you start to love her, she will start absolutely torturing you. Ignoring you, starting arguments. Screaming at you. Use the kids as an excuse to hurt you further with court cases and lack of access. This ALL comes from their mother. Then when you are not there. She will tell the kids how shit you are. All while telling them they are worthless and screaming at them the same way. Starting the cycle all over again.
TERRY, at 72, I had the same reaction. Real men know how to cry. She has a gift for getting into your heart. What a precious ray of sunshine in a completely insane world.
Oh, theists are saying there is no god? No, they are saying the opposite but they don't have logic and reason on their side. I do. Please learn a thing or two before you post.

@@TedTheAtheist, I wasn't claiming you _said_ what theists say I said you _did_ what theists _do_ i.e. pushing your beliefs on others... and since you couldn't figure that one out, I'm fairly certain you couldn't figure atheism out on your own either... you're just parroting what other atheists say. So how about you learn how to think for yourself and stop giving atheists a bad name? -- Sincerely, a _real_ atheist
I waited to watch this, knowing that you were going to be serious and that meant I needed to give you the respect you deserved. Thank you for sharing with us. I have mad respect for your writing skills, on-screen personality and boundless creativity. Now I also have a bit of an understanding of your journey and I am thankful for your willingness to share. Good luck and may your success continue to be unlimited.
Such raw, honesty and emotion. Very moving 😢. You’re now a leader and creator of the best for all you come in contact with. Lucky is the man who you choose and marry someday. If it were me, I’d be so proud to have you by my side to love and be loved. Thank you for making this world a better place. 😘🙏
Wow. It’s Aug 7 at 7:28 pm. I’m a Fil Am and lived most of my life in the US. But in 2008 the company I worked for needed someone to run the APAC region for them and since I had dual citizenship it was an easy decision to make PH my home base. Twice divorced I was about to get married a third time. Then I met my wife. She had a similar story as you. Devastatingly poor. Father left wife and 4 children in a small shack in the mountains. My wife like you never gave up and worked hard. We met through mutual friends and yeah got married again. Been together for 16 years. She now owns a minimart, a rotisserie and other business ventures. Her story broke my heart but her success fills me with great pride. Good for you Filipina Pea! I don’t want to sound condescending, but…I’m proud of you. I will continue to watch your great videos. God bless you!

Dear Pea Thank you so much for sharing your life with us. You have given all of us so much love, happiness and understanding. Words cannot describe what you mean to us. You are a gifted and talented girl, a true girl, in every sense of the word. An Angel from Heaven. Greetings from Australia.
Im a mental health counselor and i have to say that youre absolutely brave for being this open and honest about your past trauma and i feel the need to tell you that wheh people try to tear you down and put you down they are projecting their own insecurites on you. Also that man who cheated on you was a damn fool cause youd make an insanely amazing wife. I think it was said best to me "Just because someone doesnt see your value doesnt mean you're not valuable. One person might prefer white versus yellow gold but they are both gold" Hope this helps and you should consider therapy to help you work through youe childhood. Love your work pea 🤗🤗
UA-cam can be a crazy place. ive been doing this for 15 years. I am married to a Fillapina we have a place in Olongapo. I think I have been watching your videos from the beginning. you do a very big service to the UA-cam community and you are in my opinion the best person to tell people that plan to visit the Philippines what to expect. P.S. we don't live there I didn't meet her there we met here in the U.S.A. and we visit at least once a year. keep doing you and when it becomes stressful don't hesitate to take a break from UA-cam. we will be here when you get back.
I was raised by a mom who reminded me daily how worthless I was. I know now she was wrong but it definitely scarred me & created terrible insecurities I still struggle with. Bravo Pea for telling your story. You’re the opposite of worthless, you have unlimited value. And incredible beauty. I wish you every happiness ❤
I am 43 and my mother still says I am worthless and useless. I pay all her bills, help her with her medical, remodeled her homes to he specific needs, and yet she still says I am lazy and don't do anything. Parents...that's their job.
I just found you but from the videos I’ve seen that you have created, you seem very smart, a good head on your shoulders, super fun to be around and you are drop dead gorgeous! You have so much you bring to the table. Never let anyone tell you otherwise! Keep up the great work and I know you will get the perfect guy you deserve!
I kept watching because I saw a genuine girl speaking confidently & passionately about her home, while having fun, I thank you for being willing to share yourself. An excellent ambassador for the Philippines. Love your work, as my sons would say, ❤from Downunder.
I can honestly say that your a large part of my going to the Philippines, finding a wife, and not being possibly scammed while doing so. I now have a wife, a home in the Philippines, and a family that's accepted me like one of their own. I know my wealth makes me more acceptable, and I've enjoyed helping others by bringing electricity to some people to help make their lives a little more bearable. As I write this, I'm packing to return in a few days to reunite with my wife in Cebu, then off on another journey to a tiny island off the Bohol coast to spend to fishing, scuba diving and overseeing the construction of our new solar grid. Thanks for the content, although are stories of childhood are different, they are very much the same.
Thank you for sharing. There is always some curiosity behind the person doing the U tube video. hugs & kisses always. Continued success in your professional & personal life. Looking forward to seeing your next show. I might retire in the Philippines. Come March I'll be thinking about it hard - after I get a couple of SS checks.
Pea, I am an American man who has been happily married to a Filipina for 14 wonderful years. My wife and I enjoy watching your videos and have often remarked about how intelligent and sensible you are. Considering that you have a whopping 324,000 subscribers, I would say a whole lot of other people must think that as well! Thank you for your content, and best of luck in your future endeavors.
Oh my God!! Your video of you talking about your life almost made me cry and I am not a man who cries easily. You are so so nice. Thank you for your videos. You are no longer a frightened little girl, you are a hero
Since the first time I saw you on Paul's channel and learned you were about to start your own, I've been a Pea fan. I was born the third child of prosperous tenant farmers who profited from the WWII years, but we lost everything in a flood that was triggered by an earthquake a few days after the planting season began. Our seeded fields, livestock, and equipment were under three feet of water, and we were left penniless. My parents migrated, found factory jobs, and raised five children. Of their five children, two became lawyers, two opened successful businesses, and one was a casualty of substance abuse. I appreciate everything you do. I feel you
Wow! Probably your best vlog ever Pea. Believe it or not, many of us Westerners come from the same background as yours so your vlog really hit home. Your therapy with us was actually therapy for some of us too. I learned many moons ago that we needed to stop our self-victimization and conquer the world. Today, we saw Pea the human, not the journalist. Thank you.
Pea, you are amazing beyond words! You are a beautiful woman, let no man or woman fool you with different. Please miss Pea, always try to remember that , people down grade anyone with their own problems.
Pea! I am heart broken! You have no idea how special a girl you really are! I’ve seen people say in your comments once before “you’re a natural”! Also, your video in Texas USA throwing the hatchet 🪓 “you’re a natural”! You are so genuine of a person that “you are a natural” at everything you apply yourself to doing! You should feel proud of yourself. All those trials and tough times in your life have made you the wonderful girl you are today! As a mature 61 yr old, now living in the Philippines as of last week, you brought tears to my eyes with this one. Although I was born and raised in the USA, I to have had some horrible childhood experiences that I have had to overcome. You’ve enlightened me with your “Sigma male” video. I lived most my entire life so neglected and alone, perfecting myself to be everything a woman would want in a man yet it has never been enough or maybe I became to much of a man that women are intimidated by me. I’m living in Bacolod now, and it was your motivation that landed me here. I know you hang in Dumegate so, I will make my way there eventually to see the town one day. Hopefully, I will see you around. I think I speak for many of your subcribers when I say, “I feel I already know you” yet, we’ve never met!❤ You’re an amazing woman! I would say “keep up the good work” but, don’t feel obligated. It’s your life and you only have one chance at it so enjoy, make the most of it! We’ll be watching as long as you are here even if only to just support you!!!🥰♥️🇵🇭🇺🇸
I am a podiatric physician and surgeon here in the Midwest of the United States. I am 66 and already happily mated, and I view your channel with my sons to teach them that they have options that give them both hope and opportunity to have a loving wife, to have a strong and lifelong marriage, and to build together with their wives strong, healthy, happy, well-adjusted, and successful families. You are more than good enough. I am not simping in saying this, as I have no agenda. It is my observations of you that you are intelligent, articulate, rational and reasonable, well-educated, respectful, and possessed of a grace and inner as well as an outer physical beauty and peacefulness almost entirely lacking in modern western women. Through your work, you introduce western men, including my sons, to many other women there in the Philippines who are possessed of similar traits, inner beauty as well as physical beauty, and grace. Thank you for your work, and for opening up to all of us. Never doubt that you are enough. You are a beautiful gem.
I don't think there is any one Philipina better than you. You are one of a kind and your personality shows your love for humanity. You are a wonderful person.
Wow, Miss Pea, this video hit home , I've always been told that ,I m not good good enough since elementary school all the way up till the time till I retired . I got it from my peers' employers, friends, members of the community ,etc . I had a car accident in 91, and then it got worse, so I worked harder than others ,even retired from two jobs . You are greatly appreciated and enjoyed Miss Pea .
I never comment on your videos before. However, what I see from you is courage, strength and perseverance. What society doesn’t realize is that growing up in poverty is such a disadvantage. I am proud of you for the successful woman you have become. Subscribers, protect this woman. Remember this Pea. You are always enough.
I'm a 65 yr old retired gentleman, who has worked in mfg./ construction my whole life. I've always enjoyed and respected the job/ service your videos have provided. I've recommended your videos to Filipinos and western folks. My daughter in law is filipino and I live with her and my son, so I know allot about your culture. You are so very good at explaining the cultural differences you really ought to be a professional diplomat. When I felt your pain, it brought me to tears, I am so thankful you had the strength and intellect to survive and flourish using that wonderful mind of yours. Please always remember how much you mean to everybody on this planet, whether they know it or not. This planet is so much better because of you. Take care and keep on keeping on! Your one of my heroes!
Pea, you brought tears to my eyes again. Your videos inspired me to come to the Philippines and adopted a family of 6 children (including a newborn I "bought" from the midwife) who lived on the street. They are now healthy after recovering from malnutrition, skin infections and TB. They are in school and thriving. Thank you.
You are worth it! When COVID hit, I met a Filipina woman and then in 2022 I came from US, met her and fell in love with her. I came back later in 2022 , stayed longer and decided I could ould not live without her. We married December of 22 and waiting for her visa so she can come to the US. God Bless you Pea ❤
Pea thanx for sharing They say when 1 bad thing halpens like covid something good always follows like the fililina pea channel God bless and keep on rolling my friend
I married a Filipino in 2019 before covid and I think it's great when I see you are helping your family and many other people. My wife does the same, and it's really wonderful how resilient you and your culture are. Good luck beautiful!
3:54 - I badly wanted to give you a hug. Having to relive those memories is so gut-wrenching 7:00 - You weren't pretty? I don't believe that. I'm sure you were adorable. 10:00 - That was horrible. It wasn't your fault at all and you did your best in spite of being young. That's all on him. 13:10 - That's so awesome! Goes to show that if you see opportunity, jump at it. You never know where it will lead. I'm very glad you're finding your way in life. As a 52 year old with a quirky brain that has been trying to find his way all his life, it's great to find inspiration in people like you. Thank you very much for being so open and candid with us. Even though I have no intention of going to the Philippines, I happened upon your channel six months ago and I love the way you present your information and the way you communicate effectively. You're very entertaining, educational and informative. Keep up the good work! 🫂😊
@@TheFilipinaPea lol I know it is not much and I hope the rest of the community would help me out and match it so you can get a warehouse full for kleenex for the rest of us.
Thank you, Kelvin. You just donated about a day's minimum wage here in the Ph. Yes, that's how things are here. But its good enough to feed a whole family if the wife is good in managing family expenses. I'm single, yet it shames me to admit that I sometimes fall short with my salary for myself when the same amount can support a whole family...
I’ve listened to you and saw my self in my growing years, am glad you were able to find that magical door all of us sometimes is looking for, I am sixty one and still leaving with hopes to find my happy door I guess my will is slowly fading now. Sorry for bringing this up here I just needed to let it out. I admire you…!!!
Of all your videos, this one is my favorite. Telling your story not only reflects the strength and perseverance you possess, it also gives a voice to so many who grew up in similarly abusive situations. You've carried so much on your small shoulders for such a long time. I am incredibly proud of you for trusting your viewers, and even more proud of you for trusting yourself. Bravery doesn't feel like strength. It feels like uncertainty, distress, apprehension and fear. Brave people don't see themselves as brave. Because to consider oneself invincible is a sign of arrogance and entitlement. True bravery is hard work and hope. The greatest minds this planet has ever known all came from humble beginnings. Their greatness comes not only from what they've achieved, but what they also endured. Look at all you have accomplished in four years. You have achieved success by relying on your own knowledge and life experiences, and sharing them with others. You are committed to telling the truth as you understand it, even when it's not always what your viewers want to hear. You will not compromise your values or your integrity, and you treat everyone with respect. Your driving motivation is to help others, by protecting them from avoidable harm and danger. Your goal is to help make everyone happier, safer, and better informed. And for all that you generously provide, you ask for no money in return. Four year-old Pea is ridiculously proud of you. Know that you have honored her well. May success, happiness, and love be bestowed upon you both, and in overflowing abundance. You deserve nothing less.
It has been a while I haven’t had a drop of tears in my eyes,your childhood story breaks my heart. But you was blessed to be here with us. You are beautiful Pea, I love you,we all love you.
My brother lost the love of his life the day before Christmas last year. Her name was Lily and she was a truly beautiful Filipina like you. He is Seventy now and she was a few years younger. In spite of a tough youth she was articulate, intelligent and very loving. You remind me of her, God bless you.
That must be so incredibly difficult. I can't imagine meeting the love of my life and then losing her. God bless your brother and may his lovely wife rest in peace
Pea, there is nothing to fear but fear itself. You are not worthless, you are amazing. You are not unattractive, you are beautiful. I have watched many of your videos - but nothing will ever beat this one. From an expat in Manila ❤
As an American born Fil-Am, I enjoy your videos. It gives a different perspective for those who aren't fully submerged in the culture. Thanks for the work you put into vids, salamat inday.
Blessings to you. I know about not being good enough in a 'Western Family'. So it isn't just your culture.. I feel with you, especially when you first said those words 'I am not good enough'. Hit me straight into the heart. Thanks for sharing. So powerful. 'You heal my wound'.. THANK YOU
Dear Pea, I'm a 60 year old Aussie man married to a beautiful 24 year old filipino from the province in Leyte. I'd just like to say your advice has been paramount in me finding the love of my life in your wonderful country & finally bringing her to Australia to live. I try to watch every vlog of yours & i Don't normally comment, but this time I wanted to thank you & let you know how smart ' talented & beautiful you are not only on the outside but on the inside. You're a wonderful human being, so please keep up the great vlogs as you help more people than you realise & I hope you find the happiness you truly deserve.
When I started researching a possible future in the PH in 2020 I came across your channel and watched as you hit 1000 subs. I kept watching and learning....watching and learning...watching and learning, Then in Oct 2022 I arrived in the PH armed with all the knowledge you had imparted. I now have a home in Valencia and am about to marry the Filipina that saved my life. In 6 weeks I will leave Canada for the last time to finally get to where I should have been long ago. Thank-you Pea for being a phenomenal teacher and entertainer. My life wouldn't be as great as it is now if it wasn't for you. As for being good enough...Dai you set the bar !!! From the bottom of MY heart, THANK-YOU !!!!
Hey i just leased a condo in bgc. I wouldnt have come here without your videos. I had a tough life too, yes even in america. I cant thank you enough. Your one of the good ones!
@@TheFilipinaPea lol @ name fail. It's ok though, but I wanted to say UA-cam did the same for me. That spiritual disease can't tell us we suck when thousands say otherwise!
My wife is Filipino also, and her life mirrors yours in some ways. She lost her father at 4 years of age. Her mother left her and her 2 sisters into the care of distant relatives of her father's family. She also suffered the like of love in her life. She is a RN here in Virginia now but still feels the troubles of her life. Pea you are a wonderful young woman with a huge loving heart. Over the last few years you've helped me to understand a lot of things about my wife and I can never pay you back for all the advice given without knowing. It's a shame you got miss treated by this man. Not all men are like that. People love you very much and you touch many of our hearts. Our hearts go out to you and your struggles. You are strong and will be blessed for your efforts. Wishing you the best and will continue watching everything you put forth. Always look forward to your videos. Don't sell yourself short, your very intelligent and worthy. I would have been proud to have had you as a daughter young lady.
😢😢😢 pea pea pea everything you have said it me cry and remind me , that I am not the only one who had the same experienced as you had. I admired you , are so beautiful and sexy you are such a Blessing . You are the Pocahontas of the Philippines. But at least you done . What I want to say to the world. yet the latter of Blessing from Heaven .
Pea, your kindness and generosity towards others (including entire villages!) makes so much sense now after hearing your painful story!! You came up dirt-poor with your stomach screaming bloody murder at times and something deep inside you made you subconsciously promise to alleviate that same misery from other people's lives should you find yourself with the means to do so. Not everyone awakens to the sufferings of others while trapped in a dark place, but you're one of those souls that did. In Buddhism, we call this altruistic attitude a "Bodhisattva Spirit". A bodhisattva is one who postpones their own Parinirvana (the final cessation of the cycle of death and rebirth) in order to ease the suffering of others and lead them to enlightenment. You no doubt went through many previous lifetimes giving generously to those in need. Your last rebirth in a largely poor country was no accident, my dear. You were BORN to become known as the "Angel of the Bisayas", to use your energies, talents and good heart to dispense valuable advise and make the world a better place, starting in your own area. Your pay-it=forward determination, born of simple empathy, will one day manifest in blessings and help when you most need it. As a Buddhist, I know that this is the inevitable outcome.
I just arrived at Manila airport on Friday. First time here. Be proud of what you’ve done. You’re changing peoples lives. Big reason I’m here is people like you that have inspired me. I’m a younger guy and booked a condo already for a month just to dip my toes in. So far, I think this is my favorite place I’ve been to outside of my home country the USA 🇺🇸
@@TheFilipinaPeahahaa yeah patience is a virtue that’s for sure here. I think it’s the stuff that doesn’t work, and the stuff that is different that make it cool. Everyone has the SE Asia vibe of no rush, island time, it’s all good. I booked a month at this place I’m at, and I have to admit I was “aware” of the dating differences, but was not prepared as a guy that is in the gym 6 days a week and isn’t old, on how crazy it is meeting women. I have stopped logging into tinder cause it is too overwhelming. So far, all the people I’ve met are just kind, and curious. I love it! Keep up the hard work. Being vulnerable, especially with an audience of your size is brave. But, you’re human like me and everyone else. Proud of you.
i married met a Filipina , flew to Philippines married her, lived there for 1 year, flew her home to New Zealand, ALL!!!... due to watching your videos and information you provided its the best thing ive ever done and i thank you for that! , you video just brought tears to my eyes, and based on your sub count im sure you mean alot to many many people as well you are certainly good enough pea, keep up the great work , im sure the right guy is out there for you and you will make someone a very happy wife! May God bless you with a lifetime of happiness. You deserve it.
Thank you Pea, for open up about your hard childhood. You are brave. I had tears in my eyes, seeing this tiny girl being harassed and punished for every little step she took in her young life. I feel ashamed of living a blessed life, when i hear your very important and strong story.
First time I saw your videos in my feed my impression was “wow! She must be some kind of media professional because she speaks so well and smoothly.” You are very good at this. I really enjoy your videos and have learned quite a bit about the Philippines. Like your sense of humor too! Thank you!
Hi, Pea, I'm a relative newcomer to your channel. I'm still catching up, so I rarely comment since many of the videos I watch are more than 3 years old. You've inspired me to be curious about the Philippines and to strongly consider a fairly lengthy visit. That's all YOU. I have learned a LOT from watching your content, as well as content by a handful of other Filipino and expat UA-camrs. Enough for me to have some perspective on how Filipinos think about a lot of issues. What you did to day, with this video... I'm hugely grateful. While you told us about your childhood, I thought about what I've already learned from street interviews and generalizations that you and others have made. Several things became far more concrete. Why do Filipinas look for stability? That's in your story. The loss of a parent can throw a family into desperate poverty. It can force decisions that hurt all involved, just to survive. Why are Filipinas willing to date and marry foreigners, even significantly older ones? The pragmatism of this is also encoded in your story. The caste system dictates that how far you can go is largely determined by the education you can afford. Another UA-camr has been directly helping extremely poor families since 2006. In the first video I watched by him, his team helped a 14 year old girl who has to repeat Kindergarten because she lacks a birth certificate and neither parent is willing to take care of her. In fact, she has a scar on her chest from where her 'father' cut her with a machete. These are the stakes. This is how bad things CAN be. I've stopped watching him because he rants against mixed marriages, advocates for racial purity, vents his spleen against America and all things American... and now lives in California. Foreigners who have a stable income, even if it's not a huge income, can positively affect the lives of generations. Why are Filipinas suspicious of foreigners? Well, that's in your story, too. An expat UA-camr noted that the reception we get (especially in the provinces) is largely determined by the locals' previous experience with foreigners. Since gossip spreads like wind-driven fire, this makes sense. If a province girl dates a foreigner and he treats her the way that idiot treated you, then any other foreigner is going to have to prove a great deal more. You are a great and well-balanced cultural ambassador for your country. You didn't HAVE to make the video you made today. You could have chosen any other topic. You could have saved face. You could have avoided discomfort. You could have avoided opening yourself up for criticism or shaming or tearing-down by the crabs in the bucket. Instead, you did something courageous. You gave us a "master class." THANK you, most humbly.
Oh, Pea! What a life! What a comeback. You are so good at so many things. You're the born teacher, educator, tour guide, cat mom (🙂), architect, builder, fixer, tree climber, writer, editor. Your many hats would fill a book. I sincerely appreciate sharing your story with us. It makes you even more a "real person". I understand your generosity much more, and I see that all you tell us comes from a deep understanding because you went through so much yourself. You are a sincere, loving and lovable person (I have a Filipino girlfriend, so I'm not trying to make a pass) and I hope your honesty will help to let your viewers know that the real Philippines is still struggling in the provinces. We foreigners and ex-pats should do more to help. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I married my beautiful amazing Filipina wife in January of this year. We met at the beginning of covid and were long distance for almost 4 years. Your videos kept me entertained and sane while we were waiting to be together. Today my wife received her green card and we are happy and life couldn't be better. Thank you for everything you do and please keep up the good work. I wish you nothing but happiness in your life and I hope everything works out with your fella. Maybe one day we can go on a double date! You are loved and appreciated. Thank you Pea!
You’re so brave for sharing this information. I teared up with you while you were sharing. I’m so proud of you for your honesty because you’re helping many people even with your content even in this video. Thank you for being vulnerable and helping others in the process. I will always be your fan.
Hi Pea. I'm Robert. I came across your videos by pure accident, but I'm glad I did. My father raised me by himself my whole life. He never remarried until I was an adult. He always spoke so highly of the Philippines, the women and the culture. He passed away this past March. He was my hero and I lost a strong part of me when he left. Your videos have been a way to Remer him amd learn about a culture and place I'd love to see in person some day. As a child I grew up incredibly poor. Poor like no electricity no natural gas no hot water. No transportation and very little food. My dad washed our clothing in the bath tub with a tooth brush and a bar of ivory soap. You can imagine as a young boy and a teenager I was bullied ALOT. I was a angry and depressed child that hid his depression and channeled it in to not caring about school . I didn't apply myself as well as I should have or as much as my father wanted me to and it angered him alot. He would tell me that the retarded kids did better than me. So I grew up dealing with telling myself I wouldn't be anything. My teachers never stopped the bullying and some of them over the years participated in it as well. Art was my escape. Any art. From painting to sketching to illustration. It didn't matter as long as I could create something from nothing. Today I'm self employed as a professional artist and quite successful at it I might add. I just wanted to tell my story because I can relate to yours in many ways. Ali also just want to let you know that YOU ARE ENOUGH AND YOU WILL ALWAYS BE ENOUGH! We are not defined by our past and our futures are limitless. You are not the things ppl say about you. If anything, those comments only show how those ppl feel about themselves. My father refuse to stay poor and did things that were incredibly hard for him just so he could provide a life for me. Eventually he went to a few warzones to work and risked his life to come home and build something for us. That why he's my hero. He taught me that even in the hardest of times you ha e to do the hardest of things to make it to the best of places. I love your content and please keep doing what your doing. Shine brighter than the rest. Your Killin it!
Hey Pea, most of us go through a lot of crap in life, you’re not alone, you are, caring, intelligent, strong and beautiful and you are worthy of being happy, you have a great channel here and you should feel good about that accomplishment.
😢😘🥰 Thanks for opening up. One of my reasons I am attempting to talk about on my page. Those pains affect you as a adult. People on the outside would not understand. What doesn't delete you, makes you stronger. Approaching my mid 40's, I still have a fear of failure also. Keep pushing Pea. You got this!
Appreciate ya Pea. Your teacher story hits home, not for myself, but for too many Filipinos I know. My wife's story is a horror show as she was used as slave labor as part of the working students program-- as just a starting point. I'm glad you've made a break out of the spiral (or crab pot as they say) and truly wish you the best. You got this.
You're an incredible woman. It's unbelievable how you aren't considered to be among the most beautiful in your land. I'm a total stranger in America, but I'm incredibly proud of you.
Just wanted to tell you your voice and honesty regarding the Philippine culture have been invaluable. Not to mention how sweet you are to those less fortunate. Love your stories about building homes or giving school supplies to those in need. Never forget your one of the Philippines treasures.
For 10 years I came to the Philippines because I loved the people and culture. And then I moved here from Washington DC to Angeles city Pampanga. It was then that I began to see the casts your talking about. Some of the things I went through in my life seems to be similar to a lot here. And the things you went through I have seen here for myself. It's very true what they say... What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. But it also definesbyou. Makes you who you are. And now the world sees you. A strong wonderful beautiful woman whose worse oof times did not take her focus. I walk around and I travel through the Philippines, I see people at their best and worst. I see the struggles and wonders of an amazing people. The well off, the Itas, the people who stand strong in poverty, those who find courage deep inside and those who deal with struggles in a bottle of Red Horse. How life can turn on a simple choice like you did. I found you're energy and your smile amazing, your international awareness captivating. And your efforts to show the Philippines to the world genuine. And your beauty is second to none. But yto know what you been through, to see how pain shaped you, to get a glimpse into you're life make me see as wonderful as you are, you're not just a light into the the philippines and the people, you're a glowing star in the universe. And your life story , gives everyone you reach, inspiration. If I wasn't a fan before, I would be now. Maybe one day if your ever in Angeles city, I'd be honored to share a meal and conversation.
Pea, I'm sorry you went through these tough moments in life. Just know, your an amazing women and look at what you have accomplished. You will make an awesome wife. Stay strong Pea. I certainly appreciate you sharing your personal side. Many people can relate with you. Continue going forward in the future. Take care .

I support you and I know how you feel😢 hugs
Blessings and Love Pea!
The most important thing is that you never gave up and you kept pushing through. You've come some so much farther than anyone would have expected you to. Your success is no mistake, it's the path God has set for you (Don't know if you're deeply religious, and believe in a God, but I personally feel like it was divine intervention).
Wow Pea! You just skyrocketed in my (and all your other fans I'm sure) estimation! Deep respect and admiration to you for your tenacity and hard work! I finally made it out here a few weeks ago, and am just taking my time, trying to lay a foundation for a successful and comfortable life here in this beautiful land. I now have a new person who's example is more than noteworthy! Thank you for your candor.
Wait, you're *not* one of the "beautiful" Filipinas? That's blasphemous. Your story brought me to tears and I'm glad you've been able to turn your life around.
I'm a professional writer and am often impressed with how much writing Pea does for her videos. She's a gifted writer and puts a great deal of work into it.
Its as if she has a whole room full of writers ,in each episode ☺️
Yes, absolutely. I am a writer as well and Pea is as talented and sharp as a person can be. Truly a wonderful spirit!
She’s a sharp cookie
That compliment means a lot to me, TL!
❤️❤️❤️
Who do you write for?
@@germank7924. I believe you are a troll. What pointless thing to do with your time.
Pea you are exactly the type of kind, caring and resilient lady that every man wants to spend their life with. Your personality is more than enough for anyone and rest assured you do not lack in beauty.
From Australia
As another Australia I agree. If Australian women were like you, this country would be a better place, your personality is what matters.
You are wonderful in many ways, true, but you also are high energy, driven, detailed observer, deep thinker, emotionally sensitive and after all your success, wealth and kudos maybe high expectations and high maintenance for any new man in your life. You better aim at the top “ First Lady” 👸🏻
I consider myself so fortunate to have come across this video! You are a jewel of a human being. I have fallen in love with you; you are so special. This world would be so poorer without your presence in it.
I enjoy your videos, and this is my first time to reply. Keep up the good work Make sure that new man in your life treat you right and you treat him accordingly.
This is probably the most important video you have made. If you give one girl hope overcoming a hopeless situation it becomes a public service. Bless you Angel Pea.
Thanks Mark! I’ll try to pull as many people out of poverty with me 👍❤️❤️❤️
Mark I don’t think it’s just the girls on this one.
That is very true
💯 amazing realness and inspiration
@@TheFilipinaPea👏🏽🙏🏽🇵🇭🫡🫶🏽
You are a brave young lady. Your life, as you are living it now, is helping and guiding others to better and richer lives. Thank goodness for you.
I'm married and I love my wife very very much. But I always thought you'd make an AMAZING wife. You are smart, funny, beautiful, you have your head on straight, and you know so much American culture. Remember, you have over 300k subscribers for a reason, and it's not JUST your beauty, but your brilliance and humor. You are AWESOME and I am sure there are over 300,000 people that agree with me. We all love you very much!!!
Couldn't have said it better.
Indeed
Wow, an amazing video. Thank you so much for sharing. A lot of people on You Tube would be apprehensive to do a personal reveal. You are brave. Word of advice...Never sell yourself short! You have so much going for you! You've taken something that you're good at and have made it fun and successful. You are a success in work as an ambassador of the Philippines, and so much more as a person.❤ and future great endeavors.
Spot on 💯
Spot on!
Hey Pea
I'm a guy that always watches but never comments. I had to comment today your story was deeply moving. Just want you to know that you are loved, your subscribers may have changed your life. But you have impacted our lives so very much. God bless you with your continued success!!!!
Good morning 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞
Oh my, what an interesting insight. Pea Explains All (PEA) ❤
What a champion you are. Ive often found that poor people are very genuine.
Thank you for all the work you do and the unseen help you give to others
Amen!
I am one person who normally don't easily get hooked up on anything from anyone. I somehow have to accept that you have gradually managed to change that in me There is one honest credit I have to give you because of how you present your topics. Not only are you honest in your presentations you are also not taking sides and explore more sides to your topics. It's not easy for people to talk openly about their private life, your upbringing. You are more matured than you realize and your videos have a quality that's unmatched. You become wiser and more broader in your presentations. I just want to thank you for the commitment I see in your work and the delight it brings in not only you but the viewers as well. You will reap good benefits in the long run. Keep this good work up.
I hate to see you cry Pea. I’ve followed this channel for years. You’ve taught me so much about the Philippines. Thanks for all your videos. God bless you.
Well that makes me a lot happier, CB Red 🤣❤️❤️❤️❤️
Man... her crying really got to me as well.
As a longtime follower, I just want to give you a hug.❤
Same.💌
Dat's what I said. Big ol' fuzzy cow hug! :=8)
Thanks Robert, I accept ❤️
To hear so many bad comments when you were young. Now, to have so many people send you love. Such a blessing. God bless you.
With your thousands of comments. I cannot believe you actually have time to read them, let alone respond to them. You are amazing.
So true. Her preperation and writing is top notch. A real pro. One of a kind! That's for sure.
Retired expat psychiatrist living in the Philippines. Wow! What a video. You made me put back my psychoanalytic hat on… Didn’t think I’d be doing that here in the Philippines, but basically when we don’t learn good model behavior from our father and mother there are gaps in our personality as we grow up. It’s a fancy term called object relations theory and object constancy. What it means is we have a hard time having a strong positive sense of self as kids. Because we didn’t see it or experience it growing up. So we get our sense of self from external things like accomplishment and praise. And when people we trust or love criticize us we take it very personally. It’s hard to differentiate criticism of our actions from criticism of our character. And positive sense of self comes from external things like good grades in school or on a test or performance reviews at work or affection or affirmation from our partners.. it’s fleeting and not internally stable. But with enough life experiences particularly positive ones, that internal sense of self becomes stronger and we learn that it’s ok to be “good enough “ and we don’t need to please others or be perfect to be happy. Looks like you’re in the process of that “corrective emotional experience “ that “corrects” the ending to your story :) happy to see it..
I’m a retired engineering professor. Your comment was very informative.
Very interesting insights! Since I am talking to a Filipina with similar experiences and "issues" with her self-being, I would love to hear more about how I can support her and what are the big NoNos I must avoid. Can we get in touch somehow?
Thank you for sharing Pea, you are an awesome, beautiful person. We are so lucky to have you as our Philippine guide!!!
Childhood can be brutal. It can shape your entire life. But you have grown to be an intelligent, caring, funny, generous and beautiful woman. I'm sure your story is not a rare one. You are MORE than good enough, Pea. God bless you.
Thanks to folks like you, I love my job ❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing your very sad past Pea. It was heartbreaking to here your struggles. You have been so strong to get through this to become the beautiful, successful & talented lady you are now. Please don't ever think you aren't good enough, because you definitely are 100%. I love watching your channel & learn so much about Philippino life & culture. It's worth it just to see your beautiful smile & listen to your wonderful humour. Take care Pea & God bless you hun 🙏
I never leave comments, but this video is the BEST Pea video EVER! Thank you for sharing a little bit of your personal life and being vulnerable and honest.
OMG Pea, your story just broke me. I was on other sites before stumbling on yours. In my honest opinion, you are the best in this genre of valuable incites and informative information about the Philippines, it's culture, traditions, and Filipinas. If you didn't share your story, I wouldn't have known the hardships you've endured. I will give you my truth, this is not who I see. Your advice has never steered me wrong. In fact, I credit you in helping me find my true love. Despite your past, you have come a long way. You have shown us all your determination, perseverance and resiliency. You are not that little girl anymore. Self doubt can cloud our judgment of how we see ourselves, but I feel I am in the majority that would tell you, you've come a long way and that you are the best of what the Philippines offer. Never doubt yourself. Keep pushing yourself to be better. You are the pearl of the orient. You are appreciated and all of your incites have been incredibly valuable. Thank you for sharing.
Do not say sorry for crying. Its good to let it out sometimes and its true emotion from your past. and you are worth it. you help alot of people and give good advice to many. you are a wonderful human being.
If you did that in one take and that was the only crying,,,
you've the heart of a lion
As someone preparing to move to the Philippines, I want to thank you for all you do!!!
Seeing you cry is difficult, you are such a sweet person, thank you for all you do!
Thank you for your kind words ❤️
It's 100% fair to say you have triumphed over enormous challenges. There's nothing phony about the love and admiration your fans have for you Pea. You are strong and talented ... be happy and proud.
@metubenoggin07 As a Filipina, I was raised by a single mom in a poor household. I've been working since I was 18, and I worked hard to continue my college education. After I graduated, I had to support my family. Her story is very similar to mine, and she inspires me so much.
You're not worthless Ms Pea. You're worth more than all the gems in the PH.
all the gems in the mooniverse! :=8D
Sweet beautiful little pea, I have been through many of the same things as you. Mine is a long story, but just know that you are not alone. You are deeply loved by we who watch you. As a 67 year old American man, I also was bullied, made fun of because I was from a poor family and had learning disability. I now am a well known movie costume designer. As for you not feeling pretty, that is the craziest thing I’ve ever heard. You are a very beautiful woman with a very loving way about you. Any man in the world would be very lucky to have a wife like you. Keep pushing forward sweet pea, all will work out for you. God bless you.
Oh my gosh- I feel worthless. I know I am not but I don't seem to be wanted by anyone. YOU are priceless Pea and a TREASURE. Please don't feel any different or let ANYONE tell you otherwise.
You can’t ‘save’ them unless they voluntarily and completely cut off their mother. Otherwise you are marrying her mother as she does everything she says.
I’m posting this as that ‘sympathy’ you have is what gets you completely fucked.
As while these girls treat people who hate them like kings. Those who love and care about them they treat like pure garbage.
So, as an example she shits all over Filipino men, while being super nice and sweet to us foreigners. They call it ‘inclusion’. It’s a way to emasculate the men who care about them.
So if you start to love her, she will start absolutely torturing you. Ignoring you, starting arguments. Screaming at you. Use the kids as an excuse to hurt you further with court cases and lack of access.
This ALL comes from their mother.
Then when you are not there. She will tell the kids how shit you are. All while telling them they are worthless and screaming at them the same way.
Starting the cycle all over again.
@@seanrichter5611Become someone worth something then. Start a business. Improve your habits and get in shape.
I'm a 73 year old man and you brought tears to my eyes. May God bless you with a lifetime of happiness. You deserve it.
TERRY, at 72, I had the same reaction. Real men know how to cry. She has a gift for getting into your heart. What a precious ray of sunshine in a completely insane world.
There is no god.
@@TedTheAtheist, what is the point of that comment? You're doing exactly what the theists are doing... be better!
Oh, theists are saying there is no god? No, they are saying the opposite but they don't have logic and reason on their side. I do. Please learn a thing or two before you post.
@@TedTheAtheist, I wasn't claiming you _said_ what theists say I said you _did_ what theists _do_ i.e. pushing your beliefs on others... and since you couldn't figure that one out, I'm fairly certain you couldn't figure atheism out on your own either... you're just parroting what other atheists say. So how about you learn how to think for yourself and stop giving atheists a bad name?
-- Sincerely, a _real_ atheist
I waited to watch this, knowing that you were going to be serious and that meant I needed to give you the respect you deserved.
Thank you for sharing with us. I have mad respect for your writing skills, on-screen personality and boundless creativity. Now I also have a bit of an understanding of your journey and I am thankful for your willingness to share. Good luck and may your success continue to be unlimited.
Such raw, honesty and emotion. Very moving 😢. You’re now a leader and creator of the best for all you come in contact with. Lucky is the man who you choose and marry someday. If it were me, I’d be so proud to have you by my side to love and be loved. Thank you for making this world a better place. 😘🙏
A True Role Model For All !!!!
Wow. It’s Aug 7 at 7:28 pm. I’m a Fil Am and lived most of my life in the US. But in 2008 the company I worked for needed someone to run the APAC region for them and since I had dual citizenship it was an easy decision to make PH my home base. Twice divorced I was about to get married a third time. Then I met my wife. She had a similar story as you. Devastatingly poor. Father left wife and 4 children in a small shack in the mountains. My wife like you never gave up and worked hard. We met through mutual friends and yeah got married again. Been together for 16 years. She now owns a minimart, a rotisserie and other business ventures. Her story broke my heart but her success fills me with great pride. Good for you Filipina Pea! I don’t want to sound condescending, but…I’m proud of you. I will continue to watch your great videos. God bless you!
Great video love ❤️ always, u are awesome

People in the West can't imagine how life is in the Philippines. Your resilience and strength are an inspiration. We love you Pea.
If you are truly correct, why do so many foreign people live and want to move there?
Because the West in Europe has tax structures built after WW2 destruction,
Have u lived in the west... seen the homeless here then... right eo
@@tg3902 sorry I understand your point
@@clayholmes6147 If you have money it's a great place to be. Try living there with no money.
Dear Pea
Thank you so much for sharing your life with us. You have given all of us so much love, happiness and understanding. Words cannot describe what you mean to us. You are a gifted and talented girl, a true girl, in every sense of the word. An Angel from Heaven. Greetings from Australia.
Im a mental health counselor and i have to say that youre absolutely brave for being this open and honest about your past trauma and i feel the need to tell you that wheh people try to tear you down and put you down they are projecting their own insecurites on you.
Also that man who cheated on you was a damn fool cause youd make an insanely amazing wife.
I think it was said best to me "Just because someone doesnt see your value doesnt mean you're not valuable. One person might prefer white versus yellow gold but they are both gold"
Hope this helps and you should consider therapy to help you work through youe childhood. Love your work pea 🤗🤗
Very well said, and I agree completely!
UA-cam can be a crazy place. ive been doing this for 15 years. I am married to a Fillapina we have a place in Olongapo. I think I have been watching your videos from the beginning. you do a very big service to the UA-cam community and you are in my opinion the best person to tell people that plan to visit the Philippines what to expect.
P.S. we don't live there I didn't meet her there we met here in the U.S.A. and we visit at least once a year.
keep doing you and when it becomes stressful don't hesitate to take a break from UA-cam. we will be here when you get back.
I was raised by a mom who reminded me daily how worthless I was. I know now she was wrong but it definitely scarred me & created terrible insecurities I still struggle with. Bravo Pea for telling your story. You’re the opposite of worthless, you have unlimited value. And incredible beauty. I wish you every happiness ❤
I am 43 and my mother still says I am worthless and useless. I pay all her bills, help her with her medical, remodeled her homes to he specific needs, and yet she still says I am lazy and don't do anything. Parents...that's their job.
I just found you but from the videos I’ve seen that you have created, you seem very smart, a good head on your shoulders, super fun to be around and you are drop dead gorgeous! You have so much you bring to the table. Never let anyone tell you otherwise! Keep up the great work and I know you will get the perfect guy you deserve!
Thanks for finding me, Sam 👍👍😊
You are an incredible human being!!! Thank you for sharing your life experiences 😢you made a grown man cry.
I kept watching because I saw a genuine girl speaking confidently & passionately about her home, while having fun, I thank you for being willing to share yourself.
An excellent ambassador for the Philippines. Love your work, as my sons would say, ❤from Downunder.
I can honestly say that your a large part of my going to the Philippines, finding a wife, and not being possibly scammed while doing so. I now have a wife, a home in the Philippines, and a family that's accepted me like one of their own. I know my wealth makes me more acceptable, and I've enjoyed helping others by bringing electricity to some people to help make their lives a little more bearable.
As I write this, I'm packing to return in a few days to reunite with my wife in Cebu, then off on another journey to a tiny island off the Bohol coast to spend to fishing, scuba diving and overseeing the construction of our new solar grid. Thanks for the content, although are stories of childhood are different, they are very much the same.
I’m so flattered to have been a part of your story, Mitch ❤️
@TheFilipinaPea neither you nor they, will ever know the massive ripple affects it has caused, all for the good of things.
Thank you for sharing. There is always some curiosity behind the person doing the U tube video. hugs & kisses always. Continued success in your professional & personal life. Looking forward to seeing your next show. I might retire in the Philippines. Come March I'll be thinking about it hard - after I get a couple of SS checks.
Pea…you are amazing. Thank you for sharing this very personal experience. You are a very strong woman
I cried. You are valued.
Thank you for videos.
Thank you for this video, especially.
Pea, I am an American man who has been happily married to a Filipina for 14 wonderful years. My wife and I enjoy watching your videos and have often remarked about how intelligent and sensible you are. Considering that you have a whopping 324,000 subscribers, I would say a whole lot of other people must think that as well! Thank you for your content, and best of luck in your future endeavors.
Oh my God!! Your video of you talking about your life almost made me cry and I am not a man who cries easily. You are so so nice. Thank you for your videos. You are no longer a frightened little girl, you are a hero
Since the first time I saw you on Paul's channel and learned you were about to start your own, I've been a Pea fan. I was born the third child of prosperous tenant farmers who profited from the WWII years, but we lost everything in a flood that was triggered by an earthquake a few days after the planting season began. Our seeded fields, livestock, and equipment were under three feet of water, and we were left penniless. My parents migrated, found factory jobs, and raised five children. Of their five children, two became lawyers, two opened successful businesses, and one was a casualty of substance abuse. I appreciate everything you do. I feel you
Thanks Chuck, it sounds like you folks just never give up either 👍👍
Hard times sometimes bring out the best of people.
Wow! Probably your best vlog ever Pea. Believe it or not, many of us Westerners come from the same background as yours so your vlog really hit home. Your therapy with us was actually therapy for some of us too. I learned many moons ago that we needed to stop our self-victimization and conquer the world. Today, we saw Pea the human, not the journalist. Thank you.
Pea, you are amazing beyond words! You are a beautiful woman, let no man or woman fool you with different. Please miss Pea, always try to remember that , people down grade anyone with their own problems.
Pea! I am heart broken! You have no idea how special a girl you really are! I’ve seen people say in your comments once before “you’re a natural”! Also, your video in Texas USA throwing the hatchet 🪓 “you’re a natural”!
You are so genuine of a person that “you are a natural” at everything you apply yourself to doing! You should feel proud of yourself. All those trials and tough times in your life have made you the wonderful girl you are today!
As a mature 61 yr old, now living in the Philippines as of last week, you brought tears to my eyes with this one.
Although I was born and raised in the USA, I to have had some horrible childhood experiences that I have had to overcome. You’ve enlightened me with your “Sigma male” video. I lived most my entire life so neglected and alone, perfecting myself to be everything a woman would want in a man yet it has never been enough or maybe I became to much of a man that women are intimidated by me.
I’m living in Bacolod now, and it was your motivation that landed me here. I know you hang in Dumegate so, I will make my way there eventually to see the town one day. Hopefully, I will see you around. I think I speak for many of your subcribers when I say, “I feel I already know you” yet, we’ve never met!❤
You’re an amazing woman! I would say “keep up the good work” but, don’t feel obligated. It’s your life and you only have one chance at it so enjoy, make the most of it! We’ll be watching as long as you are here even if only to just support you!!!🥰♥️🇵🇭🇺🇸
I am a podiatric physician and surgeon here in the Midwest of the United States. I am 66 and already happily mated, and I view your channel with my sons to teach them that they have options that give them both hope and opportunity to have a loving wife, to have a strong and lifelong marriage, and to build together with their wives strong, healthy, happy, well-adjusted, and successful families.
You are more than good enough. I am not simping in saying this, as I have no agenda. It is my observations of you that you are intelligent, articulate, rational and reasonable, well-educated, respectful, and possessed of a grace and inner as well as an outer physical beauty and peacefulness almost entirely lacking in modern western women.
Through your work, you introduce western men, including my sons, to many other women there in the Philippines who are possessed of similar traits, inner beauty as well as physical beauty, and grace.
Thank you for your work, and for opening up to all of us. Never doubt that you are enough. You are a beautiful gem.
I don't think there is any one Philipina better than you. You are one of a kind and your personality shows your love for humanity. You are a wonderful person.
Wow, Miss Pea, this video hit home , I've always been told that ,I m not good good enough since elementary school all the way up till the time till I retired .
I got it from my peers' employers, friends, members of the community ,etc .
I had a car accident in 91, and then it got worse, so I worked harder than others ,even retired from two jobs . You are greatly appreciated and enjoyed Miss Pea .
I never comment on your videos before. However, what I see from you is courage, strength and perseverance. What society doesn’t realize is that growing up in poverty is such a disadvantage. I am proud of you for the successful woman you have become. Subscribers, protect this woman. Remember this Pea. You are always enough.
Thanks for posting your very first comment here, FDP 👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your a good person Pea..a very strong woman..dont stop doing what your doing..alot of people enjoy learning all that you share with us..be well!
I'm a 65 yr old retired gentleman, who has worked in mfg./ construction my whole life. I've always enjoyed and respected the job/ service your videos have provided. I've recommended your videos to Filipinos and western folks. My daughter in law is filipino and I live with her and my son, so I know allot about your culture. You are so very good at explaining the cultural differences you really ought to be a professional diplomat. When I felt your pain, it brought me to tears, I am so thankful you had the strength and intellect to survive and flourish using that wonderful mind of yours. Please always remember how much you mean to everybody on this planet, whether they know it or not. This planet is so much better because of you. Take care and keep on keeping on! Your one of my heroes!
Very well said she is such a rare gem of a person.
PERFECT❤
Pea, you brought tears to my eyes again. Your videos inspired me to come to the Philippines and adopted a family of 6 children (including a newborn I "bought" from the midwife) who lived on the street. They are now healthy after recovering from malnutrition, skin infections and TB. They are in school and thriving. Thank you.
You are worth it! When COVID hit, I met a Filipina woman and then in 2022 I came from US, met her and fell in love with her. I came back later in 2022 , stayed longer and decided I could ould not live without her. We married December of 22 and waiting for her visa so she can come to the US. God Bless you Pea ❤
Compelling story. Thanks for being you.
Pea thanx for sharing
They say when 1 bad thing halpens like covid something good always follows like the fililina pea channel
God bless and keep on rolling my friend
Wow, what a great story from an engaging, articulate, and photogenic young star. The internet needs more like you, keep up the great work!
I married a Filipino in 2019 before covid and I think it's great when I see you are helping your family and many other people. My wife does the same, and it's really wonderful how resilient you and your culture are. Good luck beautiful!
3:54 - I badly wanted to give you a hug. Having to relive those memories is so gut-wrenching
7:00 - You weren't pretty? I don't believe that. I'm sure you were adorable.
10:00 - That was horrible. It wasn't your fault at all and you did your best in spite of being young. That's all on him.
13:10 - That's so awesome! Goes to show that if you see opportunity, jump at it. You never know where it will lead.
I'm very glad you're finding your way in life. As a 52 year old with a quirky brain that has been trying to find his way all his life, it's great to find inspiration in people like you. Thank you very much for being so open and candid with us. Even though I have no intention of going to the Philippines, I happened upon your channel six months ago and I love the way you present your information and the way you communicate effectively. You're very entertaining, educational and informative. Keep up the good work! 🫂😊
I have watched your videos from the beginning. I still find you refreshing.
Very powerful, I honestly never donated before but your bravery to tell your story with raw emotion moved me. I will definitely watch you more.
That’s so very kind of you, Kelvin - you just helped me buy several boxes of Kleenex 🤣❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@TheFilipinaPea lol I know it is not much and I hope the rest of the community would help me out and match it so you can get a warehouse full for kleenex for the rest of us.
Thank you, Kelvin. You just donated about a day's minimum wage here in the Ph.
Yes, that's how things are here. But its good enough to feed a whole family if the wife is good in managing family expenses.
I'm single, yet it shames me to admit that I sometimes fall short with my salary for myself when the same amount can support a whole family...
I’ve listened to you and saw my self in my growing years, am glad you were able to find that magical door all of us sometimes is looking for, I am sixty one and still leaving with hopes to find my happy door I guess my will is slowly fading now.
Sorry for bringing this up here I just needed to let it out.
I admire you…!!!
Is pea from cebu
Speechless. We love you.
...and always let the ads play
Of all your videos, this one is my favorite. Telling your story not only reflects the strength and perseverance you possess, it also gives a voice to so many who grew up in similarly abusive situations. You've carried so much on your small shoulders for such a long time. I am incredibly proud of you for trusting your viewers, and even more proud of you for trusting yourself.
Bravery doesn't feel like strength. It feels like uncertainty, distress, apprehension and fear.
Brave people don't see themselves as brave. Because to consider oneself invincible is a sign of arrogance and entitlement. True bravery is hard work and hope.
The greatest minds this planet has ever known all came from humble beginnings. Their greatness comes not only from what they've achieved, but what they also endured.
Look at all you have accomplished in four years. You have achieved success by relying on your own knowledge and life experiences, and sharing them with others. You are committed to telling the truth as you understand it, even when it's not always what your viewers want to hear. You will not compromise your values or your integrity, and you treat everyone with respect. Your driving motivation is to help others, by protecting them from avoidable harm and danger. Your goal is to help make everyone happier, safer, and better informed. And for all that you generously provide, you ask for no money in return.
Four year-old Pea is ridiculously proud of you. Know that you have honored her well. May success, happiness, and love be bestowed upon you both, and in overflowing abundance. You deserve nothing less.
It has been a while I haven’t had a drop of tears in my eyes,your childhood story breaks my heart. But you was blessed to be here with us. You are beautiful Pea, I love you,we all love you.
My brother lost the love of his life the day before Christmas last year. Her name was Lily and she was a truly beautiful Filipina like you. He is Seventy now and she was a few years younger. In spite of a tough youth she was articulate, intelligent and very loving. You remind me of her, God bless you.
🙏🙏
That must be so incredibly difficult. I can't imagine meeting the love of my life and then losing her. God bless your brother and may his lovely wife rest in peace
Pea, there is nothing to fear but fear itself. You are not worthless, you are amazing. You are not unattractive, you are beautiful. I have watched many of your videos - but nothing will ever beat this one. From an expat in Manila ❤
As an American born Fil-Am, I enjoy your videos. It gives a different perspective for those who aren't fully submerged in the culture.
Thanks for the work you put into vids, salamat inday.
Blessings to you. I know about not being good enough in a 'Western Family'. So it isn't just your culture.. I feel with you, especially when you first said those words 'I am not good enough'. Hit me straight into the heart. Thanks for sharing. So powerful. 'You heal my wound'.. THANK YOU
Dear Pea, I'm a 60 year old Aussie man married to a beautiful 24 year old filipino from the province in Leyte. I'd just like to say your advice has been paramount in me finding the love of my life in your wonderful country & finally bringing her to Australia to live. I try to watch every vlog of yours & i Don't normally comment, but this time I wanted to thank you & let you know how smart ' talented & beautiful you are not only on the outside but on the inside. You're a wonderful human being, so please keep up the great vlogs as you help more people than you realise & I hope you find the happiness you truly deserve.
if you watched her videos, you'd know it's a mistake to bring your wife back to the West!
Yep, cierto ~ de verdad, like totally for sure Pia, keep up the great work. Maybe will meet you in person one day and day thanks, Bendiciones. Dave.
When I started researching a possible future in the PH in 2020 I came across your channel and watched as you hit 1000 subs. I kept watching and learning....watching and learning...watching and learning, Then in Oct 2022 I arrived in the PH armed with all the knowledge you had imparted. I now have a home in Valencia and am about to marry the Filipina that saved my life. In 6 weeks I will leave Canada for the last time to finally get to where I should have been long ago. Thank-you Pea for being a phenomenal teacher and entertainer. My life wouldn't be as great as it is now if it wasn't for you. As for being good enough...Dai you set the bar !!! From the bottom of MY heart, THANK-YOU !!!!
Hey i just leased a condo in bgc. I wouldnt have come here without your videos. I had a tough life too, yes even in america. I cant thank you enough. Your one of the good ones!
Same..
@@hi-tychditto
I’m honored to have been an influence in your life, Voltairen!
❤️❤️❤️
@@TheFilipinaPea lol @ name fail. It's ok though, but I wanted to say UA-cam did the same for me. That spiritual disease can't tell us we suck when thousands say otherwise!
@@volairen Voltairen, that was intentional disrespect. But don't worry, you're one of the good ones
Your awesome!!! Thank you!
You're doing great, Pea. It takes a lot of personal courage to open up on camera. Keep moving forward! 👍
My wife is Filipino also, and her life mirrors yours in some ways. She lost her father at 4 years of age. Her mother left her and her 2 sisters into the care of distant relatives of her father's family. She also suffered the like of love in her life. She is a RN here in Virginia now but still feels the troubles of her life. Pea you are a wonderful young woman with a huge loving heart. Over the last few years you've helped me to understand a lot of things about my wife and I can never pay you back for all the advice given without knowing. It's a shame you got miss treated by this man. Not all men are like that. People love you very much and you touch many of our hearts. Our hearts go out to you and your struggles. You are strong and will be blessed for your efforts. Wishing you the best and will continue watching everything you put forth. Always look forward to your videos. Don't sell yourself short, your very intelligent and worthy. I would have been proud to have had you as a daughter young lady.
😢😢😢 pea pea pea everything you have said it me cry and remind me , that I am not the only one who had the same experienced as you had. I admired you , are so beautiful and sexy you are such a Blessing . You are the Pocahontas of the
Philippines. But at least you done . What I want to say to the world. yet the latter of Blessing from Heaven .
Well said, you are loved and respected by all of us Pea
Hear - Hear
Wow, a very similar story! 🥺😳😥👍
@@TheFilipinaPea I want you to always remember that you are precious in God’s eyes. Never forget that. Always pray and never give up 🙂💪
Thank you for your beautiful authenticity!!
I'm sorry to hear about what happened to you, but I'm happy that you were able to make something of that. 🥰
Pea, your kindness and generosity towards others (including entire villages!) makes so much sense now after hearing your painful story!! You came up dirt-poor with your stomach screaming bloody murder at times and something deep inside you made you subconsciously promise to alleviate that same misery from other people's lives should you find yourself with the means to do so. Not everyone awakens to the sufferings of others while trapped in a dark place, but you're one of those souls that did. In Buddhism, we call this altruistic attitude a "Bodhisattva Spirit". A bodhisattva is one who postpones their own Parinirvana (the final cessation of the cycle of death and rebirth) in order to ease the suffering of others and lead them to enlightenment. You no doubt went through many previous lifetimes giving generously to those in need. Your last rebirth in a largely poor country was no accident, my dear. You were BORN to become known as the "Angel of the Bisayas", to use your energies, talents and good heart to dispense valuable advise and make the world a better place, starting in your own area. Your pay-it=forward determination, born of simple empathy, will one day manifest in blessings and help when you most need it. As a Buddhist, I know that this is the inevitable outcome.
Pea, your so incredibly strong woman. I don't think most could do a video like this.
I'm happy to see you succeed in life. Your awesome
I couldn’t have done it without you folks ❤️❤️
Great Story P ....... Thanks for sharing sweetie!
I just arrived at Manila airport on Friday. First time here. Be proud of what you’ve done. You’re changing peoples lives. Big reason I’m here is people like you that have inspired me. I’m a younger guy and booked a condo already for a month just to dip my toes in. So far, I think this is my favorite place I’ve been to outside of my home country the USA 🇺🇸
I really hope you enjoy our chaotic, inefficient, frustrating and wonderful country, my friend!
🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@TheFilipinaPeahahaa yeah patience is a virtue that’s for sure here. I think it’s the stuff that doesn’t work, and the stuff that is different that make it cool. Everyone has the SE Asia vibe of no rush, island time, it’s all good. I booked a month at this place I’m at, and I have to admit I was “aware” of the dating differences, but was not prepared as a guy that is in the gym 6 days a week and isn’t old, on how crazy it is meeting women. I have stopped logging into tinder cause it is too overwhelming. So far, all the people I’ve met are just kind, and curious. I love it! Keep up the hard work. Being vulnerable, especially with an audience of your size is brave. But, you’re human like me and everyone else. Proud of you.
i married met a Filipina , flew to Philippines married her, lived there for 1 year, flew her home to New Zealand, ALL!!!... due to watching your videos and information you provided its the best thing ive ever done and i thank you for that! , you video just brought tears to my eyes, and based on your sub count im sure you mean alot to many many people as well you are certainly good enough pea, keep up the great work , im sure the right guy is out there for you and you will make someone a very happy wife! May God bless you with a lifetime of happiness. You deserve it.
I’m so very flattered that I had even a small part in helping you find your paradise ❤️
(And I love The Almighty Johnsons) 🤣
Thank you for being real and sharing your past trauma and fears. It's really good to see that you've been able to rise above it all.
Thank you Pea, for open up about your hard childhood. You are brave.
I had tears in my eyes, seeing this tiny girl being harassed and punished for every little step she took in her young life.
I feel ashamed of living a blessed life, when i hear your very important and strong story.
First time I saw your videos in my feed my impression was “wow! She must be some kind of media professional because she speaks so well and smoothly.” You are very good at this. I really enjoy your videos and have learned quite a bit about the Philippines. Like your sense of humor too! Thank you!
Strongest and bravest woman I've ever seen, and beautiful also (inside and out).
Hi, Pea, I'm a relative newcomer to your channel. I'm still catching up, so I rarely comment since many of the videos I watch are more than 3 years old. You've inspired me to be curious about the Philippines and to strongly consider a fairly lengthy visit. That's all YOU.
I have learned a LOT from watching your content, as well as content by a handful of other Filipino and expat UA-camrs. Enough for me to have some perspective on how Filipinos think about a lot of issues. What you did to day, with this video... I'm hugely grateful. While you told us about your childhood, I thought about what I've already learned from street interviews and generalizations that you and others have made. Several things became far more concrete.
Why do Filipinas look for stability? That's in your story. The loss of a parent can throw a family into desperate poverty. It can force decisions that hurt all involved, just to survive.
Why are Filipinas willing to date and marry foreigners, even significantly older ones? The pragmatism of this is also encoded in your story. The caste system dictates that how far you can go is largely determined by the education you can afford. Another UA-camr has been directly helping extremely poor families since 2006. In the first video I watched by him, his team helped a 14 year old girl who has to repeat Kindergarten because she lacks a birth certificate and neither parent is willing to take care of her. In fact, she has a scar on her chest from where her 'father' cut her with a machete. These are the stakes. This is how bad things CAN be. I've stopped watching him because he rants against mixed marriages, advocates for racial purity, vents his spleen against America and all things American... and now lives in California. Foreigners who have a stable income, even if it's not a huge income, can positively affect the lives of generations.
Why are Filipinas suspicious of foreigners? Well, that's in your story, too. An expat UA-camr noted that the reception we get (especially in the provinces) is largely determined by the locals' previous experience with foreigners. Since gossip spreads like wind-driven fire, this makes sense. If a province girl dates a foreigner and he treats her the way that idiot treated you, then any other foreigner is going to have to prove a great deal more.
You are a great and well-balanced cultural ambassador for your country. You didn't HAVE to make the video you made today. You could have chosen any other topic. You could have saved face. You could have avoided discomfort. You could have avoided opening yourself up for criticism or shaming or tearing-down by the crabs in the bucket. Instead, you did something courageous. You gave us a "master class." THANK you, most humbly.
Thanks for finding my channel, Tom! ❤❤
And yes, I don’t care for people with those politics either - they don’t know what they’re talking about 🥺
Agreed. It's a very useful channel.
I just love your videos
I can relate. Had a foster witch that hated me from 3-10. You have done a remarkable job with your life. Very smart and caring. Keep going.
Oh, Pea! What a life! What a comeback. You are so good at so many things. You're the born teacher, educator, tour guide, cat mom (🙂), architect, builder, fixer, tree climber, writer, editor. Your many hats would fill a book. I sincerely appreciate sharing your story with us. It makes you even more a "real person". I understand your generosity much more, and I see that all you tell us comes from a deep understanding because you went through so much yourself. You are a sincere, loving and lovable person (I have a Filipino girlfriend, so I'm not trying to make a pass) and I hope your honesty will help to let your viewers know that the real Philippines is still struggling in the provinces. We foreigners and ex-pats should do more to help.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I married my beautiful amazing Filipina wife in January of this year. We met at the beginning of covid and were long distance for almost 4 years. Your videos kept me entertained and sane while we were waiting to be together. Today my wife received her green card and we are happy and life couldn't be better. Thank you for everything you do and please keep up the good work. I wish you nothing but happiness in your life and I hope everything works out with your fella. Maybe one day we can go on a double date! You are loved and appreciated. Thank you Pea!
You’re so brave for sharing this information. I teared up with you while you were sharing. I’m so proud of you for your honesty because you’re helping many people even with your content even in this video. Thank you for being vulnerable and helping others in the process. I will always be your fan.
Hi Pea. I'm Robert. I came across your videos by pure accident, but I'm glad I did. My father raised me by himself my whole life. He never remarried until I was an adult. He always spoke so highly of the Philippines, the women and the culture. He passed away this past March. He was my hero and I lost a strong part of me when he left. Your videos have been a way to Remer him amd learn about a culture and place I'd love to see in person some day. As a child I grew up incredibly poor. Poor like no electricity no natural gas no hot water. No transportation and very little food. My dad washed our clothing in the bath tub with a tooth brush and a bar of ivory soap. You can imagine as a young boy and a teenager I was bullied ALOT. I was a angry and depressed child that hid his depression and channeled it in to not caring about school . I didn't apply myself as well as I should have or as much as my father wanted me to and it angered him alot. He would tell me that the retarded kids did better than me. So I grew up dealing with telling myself I wouldn't be anything. My teachers never stopped the bullying and some of them over the years participated in it as well. Art was my escape. Any art. From painting to sketching to illustration. It didn't matter as long as I could create something from nothing. Today I'm self employed as a professional artist and quite successful at it I might add. I just wanted to tell my story because I can relate to yours in many ways. Ali also just want to let you know that YOU ARE ENOUGH AND YOU WILL ALWAYS BE ENOUGH! We are not defined by our past and our futures are limitless. You are not the things ppl say about you. If anything, those comments only show how those ppl feel about themselves. My father refuse to stay poor and did things that were incredibly hard for him just so he could provide a life for me. Eventually he went to a few warzones to work and risked his life to come home and build something for us. That why he's my hero. He taught me that even in the hardest of times you ha e to do the hardest of things to make it to the best of places. I love your content and please keep doing what your doing. Shine brighter than the rest. Your Killin it!
@@nvr_bak_down3244 God bless you Robert. Your story struck a chord with me. Your determination and skills elevated your life.
One of the most powerful personal stories I’ve ever seen. You now have an army of subscribers at your back. Lots of love coming your way.
This is why we absolutely adore the Pea!!!!! Thanks for being so honest.
Hey Pea, most of us go through a lot of crap in life, you’re not alone, you are, caring, intelligent, strong and beautiful and you are worthy of being happy, you have a great channel here and you should feel good about that accomplishment.
As a UA-cam addict I find your videos the most interesting and honest (and intelligently funny) Hope you never retire... 😭
Thanks Jeff ❤️❤️❤️
😢😘🥰 Thanks for opening up. One of my reasons I am attempting to talk about on my page. Those pains affect you as a adult. People on the outside would not understand. What doesn't delete you, makes you stronger. Approaching my mid 40's, I still have a fear of failure also. Keep pushing Pea. You got this!
Appreciate ya Pea. Your teacher story hits home, not for myself, but for too many Filipinos I know. My wife's story is a horror show as she was used as slave labor as part of the working students program-- as just a starting point. I'm glad you've made a break out of the spiral (or crab pot as they say) and truly wish you the best. You got this.
You're an incredible woman. It's unbelievable how you aren't considered to be among the most beautiful in your land. I'm a total stranger in America, but I'm incredibly proud of you.
Just wanted to tell you your voice and honesty regarding the Philippine culture have been invaluable. Not to mention how sweet you are to those less fortunate. Love your stories about building homes or giving school supplies to those in need. Never forget your one of the Philippines treasures.
For 10 years I came to the Philippines because I loved the people and culture. And then I moved here from Washington DC to Angeles city Pampanga. It was then that I began to see the casts your talking about. Some of the things I went through in my life seems to be similar to a lot here. And the things you went through I have seen here for myself. It's very true what they say... What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. But it also definesbyou. Makes you who you are. And now the world sees you. A strong wonderful beautiful woman whose worse oof times did not take her focus. I walk around and I travel through the Philippines, I see people at their best and worst. I see the struggles and wonders of an amazing people. The well off, the Itas, the people who stand strong in poverty, those who find courage deep inside and those who deal with struggles in a bottle of Red Horse. How life can turn on a simple choice like you did. I found you're energy and your smile amazing, your international awareness captivating. And your efforts to show the Philippines to the world genuine. And your beauty is second to none. But yto know what you been through, to see how pain shaped you, to get a glimpse into you're life make me see as wonderful as you are, you're not just a light into the the philippines and the people, you're a glowing star in the universe. And your life story , gives everyone you reach, inspiration. If I wasn't a fan before, I would be now. Maybe one day if your ever in Angeles city, I'd be honored to share a meal and conversation.
Powerful and vulnerable. Amazing and honest. Wow. You’re beautiful inside and out.
Pea, I'm sorry you went through these tough moments in life. Just know, your an amazing women and look at what you have accomplished. You will make an awesome wife. Stay strong Pea. I certainly appreciate you sharing your personal side. Many people can relate with you. Continue going forward in the future. Take care .
Your English and the way you are articulate things is so professional and so good. It’s amazing.
