No country is perfect or totally safe Rebeauti, I found in the Philippines, show respect, tip appropriately, be aware of your surroundings and avoid obvious dangerous areas and I had a good and safe time, plus having a local with you helps immensely, very very helpful video, I found little children are the worst at attempting to pick pocket especially around Baclaran when I stayed there, used jeepneys a lot but I never wore jewellery, only had a very cheap watch and never displayed wealth of any sort.
Thank you for your videos. I am travelling to Philippines next week and I'm nervous, but I appreciate the information on your videos. You are very informative. 😀
i don't comment much, but one more positive comment should help the haters looking smaller, your videos are nice and i learned a lot about philippines before i did go there to meet my one, you and the filipina pea really made my travel easier in a lot of ways, keep sharing culture and sending positive energy, and thank you for all the effort put in the videos.
It's very common and sometimes even necessary to walk along the outside edge of the actual street in the Philippines (as you've pointed out yourself). So, when walking in the street like that make sure your bag is slung over the opposite shoulder, not the one facing the street. Also, no matter which shoulder you're wearing it on, make sure your bag isn't hanging over onto your back where it's easy to grab. Main thing, as always, is vigilance. Keep relaxed, but always look around to see what's what and who's where. It's not an unduly "dark" form of thinking to let yourself imagine what people are capable of, and to then take even minor steps aimed at thwarting those possibilities. Plus, don't walk alone when other people also happen to be walking the same route. Sidle up next to them and chat. This will make you a great deal less vulnerable. Filipinos, unlike Americans and other Westerners, tend to cluster together anyway. If they enter a nearly empty theater they'll naturally go sit right next to whoever's already there. So even if you sidled up next to someone and didn't even say anything, they wouldn't view that as odd. Couple of things you might think to address sometime, Rubeauti, if you haven't already done so, are drivers licenses and cell phones in the Philippines. As long as a foreigner's valid drivers license is in English, it's good for 90 days from the date you arrive. (If it's not in English, your foreign embassy will replicate it for you IN English.) Obtaining a valid Philippine drivers license primarily requires passing a written test as well as doing a quick spin around the lot driving a stick shift, plus a fee the equivalent of $27 USD. If you cannot operate a stick shift, learn how. Cell phones, on the other hand, have to be of the unlocked sort, and have to use the GSM network (at least 2G) on either the 900 MHz or 1800 MHz band. Then you just purchase a loaded SIM and reload as needed. You can purchase a SIM card right there in the airport. Are these safety issues? Yes. Or they certainly can be. Being able to make calls as soon as you arrive in the Philippines can very much tie into safety issues, because the less wandering around you do on foot, the better. The less you climb into strangers' cars the better too. And knowing that you're allowed to drive frees you up to either lease or purchase a vehicle, bypassing not only all of this taxi grift but also keeping you from walking here and there so often. Lease right there in the airport. Or if you've planned out what and where you want to purchase, you can bet they'll come pick you up from the airport just to make that quick sale. So here we are back to that cell phone again. :)
Great advice and your channel makes me anxious to return :) For those making plans for their first visit please remember you are a guest and the filipino people are respectful , polite and just fun to be around. Yes bad things can happen everywhere in the world so just use common sense. "Philippine time" is a thing yo :) Everything runs at a slower pace and if your impatient or want instant results you will be frustrated . Carry small denomination piso for the vendors, if you pull out a 1,000 piso bill for that 40 piso item at the quick mart your going to get "that look". I made my first trip to the philippines last April for an entire month (solo) and it was an experience and a learning one, now i will return in Oct. and can't wait to get back po!!
Thank you lovely Rubeauti! You're so right, people need to learn about places they go to. I used to work years ago supporting victims of crime, thousands of young people having their phones snatched because they walk along city centre streets at night looking at their screens! Robbers commonly use pedal bicycles here because they can't be traced. If you're going drinking in clubs and bars, buy a refurbished phone, very cheap, use that instead of your iPhone ten! Take care lovely lady, really like the studio! How about some pictures of posters on the walls? You could use the theme of the talk for them? Love you too! ❤️🥰
Thank you Rubeauti for the detailed explanation, helpful information and awesome tips! Very much appreciated! You rock!😎 Oh, and haters gonna hate, so ignore them👍
Great video, super informative, thank you so much, your information was much more detailed than most other sites, they only say don't get scammed by taxis or keep an eye on your belongings, but they never tell you why or give details on how to do those things. Your videos are always detailed, helpful, honest, and down to earth, thank you so much for that. The lighting was fine by the way, I don't have any problems with the background either because I come here to watch you, not what's around you. Keep doing what you're doing, because it works. I can't wait for the next video. Take care ❤️✌️
Rubeauti you sure packed a lot of good information into a short video. So much going on that a visitor needs to keep their wits about them and be aware of their surroundings at all times. You have probably saved someone a lot of stress and heartache or worse. Thank you! 😇🤗
Davao city is a great place for those concerned after safety. To be honest most visits are trouble free but you have to be street wise at all times which is the same for most places
Salamat Ruby for the reminders. I'm sure all of us that travel to the Philippines are so excited to be back we sometimes forget the safe practices we must adhere to. This is a nice reminder for us. Glad you made it back safely from the province. I / we enjoyed getting a glimpse into your family and friends lives. Salamat. Take care Ruby. Be Happy be Safe.
Situational awareness is key. And going out with the presumption that you will encounter a pickpocket, a thief and a scammer. Put things in front pockets or pockets with button, watches that are not easily removed, etc. Take the necessary precautions and the perpetrators will note that you are not an easy target and move on to a softer target
Hi Rubeauti. This is great, helpful information. It's nice to see you back but the province was such a nice break away. I think being in the city makes you appreciate the province even more. Be safe.
Great suggestions. The lighting inside is fine, we're here to listen to your content. I think being safe is the most important thing a visitor can do, thanks for your recommendations.
I am not a subscriber but the algorithm somehow sent one if your videos and i ended up watching three . Loved the one in the place where you grew up. Enjoyed learning a bit about filipino culture and of course you are very attractive with good presentation skills. I wish you success
It's like this in most major cities in the world, crooks, thieves and scammers. Always someone looking to get something for free. Thanks for the info. Be safe.
I have just booked my trip to Davao. I will be meeting my LDR GF for the first time! Been chatting for nearly 3 years but a couple since April. Your videos are very informative and I have learnt a lot! Thanks and keep up the good work! 🤗👍
Lots of good advice and tips here Rubeauti, well done. You need to be careful and alert wherever you go really, all places have their areas to avoid at night. I had my phone stolen in a crowd surge at a Sinulog festival, that won’t happen again. An old guy scammed me in Manila, but I knew what he was doing. He looked so poor and it was only a couple of dollars, so I was ok about it. Manila taxi drivers are the worst I’ve experienced for trying to scam me, but I never let them. I give a big tip to the ones who don’t, when I use taxis or trikes. Soon be at 15 k subs, well done. Keep doing what you do.
GREAT actions ,, SUPPORT the Honest taxi guys and the decent people ,, . I come from a NON tipping country but EVERY morning the hard working maids that come to clean my hotel room find 100 peso on each pillow waiting for them ,, they are the hard workers and the ones that deserve a hand up.
That’s good. Yes I always leave money for the room cleaners but I’m not sure they always get it. The hotel always send someone to check the room before I check out so I think they probably take it. That’s why I try to give it directly to the cleaner if I can.
I love the colors in your studio, perhaps just a little brighter light on you to see you better. love your hair style and love you... an amazing woman.
I never felt unsafe in the philippines. But i do admit that there are certain places i avoid at night. I also don't go to bars, don't pick fights, don't go to cock fights do not sing "i did it my way" and i do not mess with married women. Stick to that and you should be safe. Your ATM advice is great
@@whysosyria1 high chance if getting killed. For some reason a number of murders took place over the way someone sang (karaoke) 'i did it my way' many karaoke bars banned the song as a result
Hi Rubeauti. Very good advice. I am now in the Philippines for the 4th time and have learned how to protect myself from snatchers. I just hope people listen to the advice and learn. As always you look very beautiful. Keep smiling and stay safe
I'm very very excited about the information you share. ☺️ I'm involved with a Filipino Woman in a Long Distance Relationship (LDR). I really really enjoy all the your videos 📹 because you're not only informative but rigorous pleasant and fun.
Great tips on traveling to Philippines. Most things are just common sense. I never wear an expensive watch or ring. The other thing is watch out for the scammers on the street. Sometimes in a mall you might smile at a pretty girl and they usually smile back and say hello. Sometimes they will stop and talk to you but if they ask you if you would like a massage don’t accept. Philippines is a fun place but just be careful. Manila is not any more dangerous than any big city in the US. Great video Miss Rubeauti.
screw the haters you are doing a wonderful job Rubeauti, i follow your channel and all your videos because i want to retire to the Philippines some day and you are making excellent content. Remember that haters are just frustrated people who have no life never ever care what they say.
thank you so mutch for this info, am going to Manila 26 juli and i hope its going to be a nice time, stay at pinensula so i hope that is a safe place. have a great day.
Thank you for the informative video! I agree, it's always best when traveling or going into something, to be as knowledgeable on both the good and bad thus preparing one for the best possible experience. Wonderful video, take care and as always cherish the moments ✌
I think your taste in lighting is good and colorful you should enjoy your surroundings and be comfortable... I personally have smart lights that change colors in my house... Also have to say that you look very beautiful every time I see you... I Love watching your blog I like how you try to help everybody out with the information you give... Also before you leave your home country you can exchange money at your local bank before you leave the country and get the currency of the country you're going to... I always give you a thumbs up because I believe you deserve it 👍.. I am looking forward to coming to the Philippines in April 2023 for a month... I might stay longer to explore the Philippines..
HELLO!!!! Ate Rubeauti .. Nice content again I also learned because I’am Filipino living in province and didn’t tried to go in MANILA PS: I saw many FOREIGNERS commenting and it seems they interested to you. I think you should create a content of your “ideal future husband”...😅 Filipino Supporter po Here , I’am so proud of you Ate❣️ you really a good role model of the Ideal Filipina that Foreigner should marry😊
I have no personal knowledge of what I'm about to say but I've heard of it from travelers. Always wait untill you get your belongings from the trunk before you pay the taxi driver. If you pay first then get out of the taxi the guy can just drive off with your stuff.
Loved the province vloggs, it was nice 5o see friends catching up and having a good time. Me personally I like the set up, a lighter shade of purple in the lighting would make it a little less harsh but even the purple looks good.
What a helpful video thanks. A couple weeks ago I was in Mandaluyong there in Manila and a guy was following me as I walked down the sidewalk I would turn right he would turn right following me. I was suspicious of him and was watching him when some security guards for a department store grabbed him and prevented him from doing whatever he was planning on doing to me.
Thanks for all information that you share. I want to visit Filipines but I can't do it now because of war in my country. But I can see a lot of interesting things in your blog. And when everything will be ok, I hope I will visit your country. That is very interesting to me as to a traveller and photographer.
Hello Rebeauti great advice as always , I always take the white taxi over the years I have learnt the prices so most of the time I don't have any problems I dress very basic shorts and shirt I never bring my watch when I travel I also tan quite well so most taxi drive think I am living in the Philippines :) ATM yes always use the main banks I also have a bank account with HSBC they are a world bank and I find this very useful for travel. I am happy to say over all the year of traveling I have never ran into any sort of problem of course as you said you must be aware of the area you go to . Thanks again always great videos.take care always .
It’s all about where you can stay safe like anywhere else . I was in Mindinao in 2019. Eastern Misamis was safe but it wasn’t recommended to go to areas near Marawi. Can you discuss the topic about where and where not to go, please ?
Hi, Hassen from Canada it’s nice to know those things before traveling it helps a lot. The background light is so nice makes you more beautiful❤️😍 Thank you
Hi. Thank you for this video. It is very helpful. I am planning a trip there in November. Not necessarily to meet anyone in particular, but to possibly retire. Thanks for the great advice and keep up the great videos.
@@Rubeauti I want to go there because I want a simpler life. I am done with the rat race and high stress that comes with it. Thank you so much for the reply, honestly I wasn't expecting one because I know you are busy. Thanks again.
Hi Rubeauti, I want to thank you for all the time you put in your vlogs to teach and warn us western men about the Philippines. What's the best way to get to know you personally? I find you to be really beautiful, I love your skin tone and the fact that you are not ashamed of it. Your character seems to me straight fwd and truthful which is not common these days. Your smile brings a light to my most gloomy days. If you are not married let's get to know each other now and in person when I move to Cebu in March.
You are right...I was just in the Philippines a few weeks ago...luckily I had a friend to show me around and hip me to the Foreigner scams...the room ambience looks nice and you are looking (Ru)beautiful..love the hair
Aloha Rubeauti, Thanks for all your videos and I really enjoyed the Provence vlogs…I recently spent 3 months in Bohol this past March-June and had a great time. Happy to say Im heading back in about 12 days for another 2 1/2 months. Your videos are very helpful and provide useful information. Im sure you’ve been told but your a very beautiful lady, the name fits. Cheers, Tomas
Thank you Rubeauti 🙏 once when I was traveling in Vietnam I was mugged! If I had seen A very helpful and informative video like yours I might have very well avoided the mugging ! Much respect to you and GOD BLESS 🇵🇭🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏
Hi Rubeauti, thanks for the video. You gave us some great information about our to protect ourselves. I hope that you and your family plus your friends are safe and doing well, after the earthquake. Take care, stay safe and healthy plus have fun always.
Thanks for the heads up. Lots of times I do things without thinking because I do it in the US. Crime is in every country, if the tourist have more then they could be targeted. Just be aware of your surroundings. God bless you
Thank you RB for the awareness tips and everything of your surroundings and everything that's pretty good video I enjoyed it. But everybody should be aware of their surroundings they should always keep their head on a Swiffer. Of course you know you had the same problem and every country every continent in the world. You have a blessed day and keep doing what you doing!! Have a bless and safe day yourself!! 🙏🙏
Excellent blogger. You are not afraid to ask difficult and controversal questions. Filipinos are much liike many other people in their strong attachment to needing structure and order in their life. While that is a good thing it it also a bad thing. It accounts for Marcos's popularity and the predominance of the Catholic church. The bad side is it retards the development that come from the collision of forces. I do not mean war or conflict but the collision of ideas as occurs in a democracy. I have lived here for three years and love the people and the country but economic stability and creativity are both risky endeavors that are yet to be achieved.
The world needs more Rubeautis.
Watched this to prepare for my trip to Philippines this summer.
No country is perfect or totally safe Rebeauti, I found in the Philippines, show respect, tip appropriately, be aware of your surroundings and avoid obvious dangerous areas and I had a good and safe time, plus having a local with you helps immensely, very very helpful video, I found little children are the worst at attempting to pick pocket especially around Baclaran when I stayed there, used jeepneys a lot but I never wore jewellery, only had a very cheap watch and never displayed wealth of any sort.
Very true
Exactly you can get robbed anywhere if you're stupid.
You nailed it Marcus. Always be aware of your surroundings! Use common sense as well.
I think the lighting is perfect. it makes for a relaxing mood.
Thank you for your videos. I am travelling to Philippines next week and I'm nervous, but I appreciate the information on your videos. You are very informative. 😀
i don't comment much, but one more positive comment should help the haters looking smaller, your videos are nice and i learned a lot about philippines before i did go there to meet my one, you and the filipina pea really made my travel easier in a lot of ways, keep sharing culture and sending positive energy, and thank you for all the effort put in the videos.
Thanks for being honest and giving foreigners an understanding on what to expect. Keep up the good work.
Everything looks great because you are the focal point !!
Philippine is beautiful country, I would like to go and dive there 👊🏻🇨🇦
I'm proud of you. Double thumbs up.
It's very common and sometimes even necessary to walk along the outside edge of the actual street in the Philippines (as you've pointed out yourself). So, when walking in the street like that make sure your bag is slung over the opposite shoulder, not the one facing the street. Also, no matter which shoulder you're wearing it on, make sure your bag isn't hanging over onto your back where it's easy to grab.
Main thing, as always, is vigilance. Keep relaxed, but always look around to see what's what and who's where. It's not an unduly "dark" form of thinking to let yourself imagine what people are capable of, and to then take even minor steps aimed at thwarting those possibilities. Plus, don't walk alone when other people also happen to be walking the same route. Sidle up next to them and chat. This will make you a great deal less vulnerable. Filipinos, unlike Americans and other Westerners, tend to cluster together anyway. If they enter a nearly empty theater they'll naturally go sit right next to whoever's already there. So even if you sidled up next to someone and didn't even say anything, they wouldn't view that as odd.
Couple of things you might think to address sometime, Rubeauti, if you haven't already done so, are drivers licenses and cell phones in the Philippines. As long as a foreigner's valid drivers license is in English, it's good for 90 days from the date you arrive. (If it's not in English, your foreign embassy will replicate it for you IN English.) Obtaining a valid Philippine drivers license primarily requires passing a written test as well as doing a quick spin around the lot driving a stick shift, plus a fee the equivalent of $27 USD. If you cannot operate a stick shift, learn how.
Cell phones, on the other hand, have to be of the unlocked sort, and have to use the GSM network (at least 2G) on either the 900 MHz or 1800 MHz band. Then you just purchase a loaded SIM and reload as needed. You can purchase a SIM card right there in the airport.
Are these safety issues? Yes. Or they certainly can be. Being able to make calls as soon as you arrive in the Philippines can very much tie into safety issues, because the less wandering around you do on foot, the better. The less you climb into strangers' cars the better too. And knowing that you're allowed to drive frees you up to either lease or purchase a vehicle, bypassing not only all of this taxi grift but also keeping you from walking here and there so often. Lease right there in the airport. Or if you've planned out what and where you want to purchase, you can bet they'll come pick you up from the airport just to make that quick sale. So here we are back to that cell phone again. :)
Yeah, the first thing I want to do when I arrive in a new country for a few weeks is to buy a car! 🤣
@@michaelb2388 Yeah, like who would want to be so random

Definitely want to go back to the Philippines. But won't book anything until restrictions are lifted or at bare minimum, just need LFT test.
HELLO!!!! Ate Rubeauti ..
Nice content again I also learned because I’am Filipino living in province and
didn’t tried to go in MANILA
PS: I saw many FOREIGNERS commenting and it seems they interested to you.
I think you should create a content of your “ideal future husband”...😅
Filipino Supporter po Here , I’am so proud of you Ate❣️
you really a good role model of the Ideal Filipina that Foreigner should marry😊
Thank you Rubeauti, you give us much more than we can give you. Happy Wednesday. Much love from France x
Excellent video and advice Rubeauti. Situational awareness and knowing how to protect yourself is critical in todays world. Thank you for sharing
I have no personal knowledge of what I'm about to say but I've heard of it from travelers. Always wait untill you get your belongings from the trunk before you pay the taxi driver. If you pay first then get out of the taxi the guy can just drive off with your stuff.
Good tips for any traveling...
I think it looks awesome. Kind of chic lighting po! 💪🏻 It’s good.
just got the ticket :) i hope its nice im so excited
Thank you for the information good looking out Rubeautis ❤️❤️
Loved the province vloggs, it was nice 5o see friends catching up and having a good time. Me personally I like the set up, a lighter shade of purple in the lighting would make it a little less harsh but even the purple looks good.
What a helpful video thanks. A couple weeks ago I was in Mandaluyong there in Manila and a guy was following me as I walked down the sidewalk I would turn right he would turn right following me. I was suspicious of him and was watching him when some security guards for a department store grabbed him and prevented him from doing whatever he was planning on doing to me.
Thank you for the practical advise. 😊
Thanks for all information that you share. I want to visit Filipines but I can't do it now because of war in my country. But I can see a lot of interesting things in your blog. And when everything will be ok, I hope I will visit your country. That is very interesting to me as to a traveller and photographer.
Yes you will get "haters"... take them as a Compliment, it shows that your channel is popular!!
Hello Rebeauti great advice as always , I always take the white taxi over the years I have learnt the prices so most of the time I don't have any problems I dress very basic shorts and shirt I never bring my watch when I travel I also tan quite well so most taxi drive think I am living in the Philippines :) ATM yes always use the main banks I also have a bank account with HSBC they are a world bank and I find this very useful for travel. I am happy to say over all the year of traveling I have never ran into any sort of problem of course as you said you must be aware of the area you go to . Thanks again always great videos.take care always .
I always appreciate information on how to navigate new places
Thank you for the advice as always very well done 😊👍👍🌹
It’s all about where you can stay safe like anywhere else . I was in Mindinao in 2019. Eastern Misamis was safe but it wasn’t recommended to go to areas near Marawi. Can you discuss the topic about where and where not to go, please ?
The setting and lighting is very romantic
Good to see you back in Manila. Nice top btw
Hi, Hassen from Canada it’s nice to know those things before traveling it helps a lot.
The background light is so nice makes you more beautiful❤️😍
Thank you
Hi. Thank you for this video. It is very helpful. I am planning a trip there in November. Not necessarily to meet anyone in particular, but to possibly retire. Thanks for the great advice and keep up the great videos.
@@Rubeauti And can appreciate lovely and sweet ladies like Rubeauti!
@@Rubeauti I want to go there because I want a simpler life. I am done with the rat race and high stress that comes with it. Thank you so much for the reply, honestly I wasn't expecting one because I know you are busy. Thanks again.
Another thing foreigners can do is reserve a Smart LTE Travel SIM online to pick up at the airport. When foreigners do this they will pay half price.
Hi Rubeauti, I want to thank you for all the time you put in your vlogs to teach and warn us western men about the Philippines. What's the best way to get to know you personally? I find you to be really beautiful, I love your skin tone and the fact that you are not ashamed of it. Your character seems to me straight fwd and truthful which is not common these days. Your smile brings a light to my most gloomy days. If you are not married let's get to know each other now and in person when I move to Cebu in March.
Your hair looks different, looks good.. Great information today..
2:29 I like it 💯🫰 only modification I’d make is the color green in place of the red 🫠 I like purple & green combination. Your newest look is great 💯
Thanks so much for your support! I love the idea of adding green to the mix, it definitely adds a great touch. 🤗💚
You are right...I was just in the Philippines a few weeks ago...luckily I had a friend to show me around and hip me to the Foreigner scams...the room ambience looks nice and you are looking (Ru)beautiful..love the hair
Lights look perfect!
Aloha Rubeauti, Thanks for all your videos and I really enjoyed the Provence vlogs…I recently spent 3 months in Bohol this past March-June and had a great time. Happy to say Im heading back in about 12 days for another 2 1/2 months. Your videos are very helpful and provide useful information. Im sure you’ve been told but your a very beautiful lady, the name fits. Cheers, Tomas
Your cool in my book I enjoy your videos. Planning in going to manila in October. I'm excited 😊
Rubeauti-Your videos are just the right length!
@@Rubeauti No changes needed, if it seems too long then I will make coffee and popcorn then sit back and enjoy watching you. 😉

Hi Rubeauti, thanks for the video. You gave us some great information about our to protect ourselves. I hope that you and your family plus your friends are safe and doing well, after the earthquake. Take care, stay safe and healthy plus have fun always.
Thanks for the heads up. Lots of times I do things without thinking because I do it in the US. Crime is in every country, if the tourist have more then they could be targeted. Just be aware of your surroundings. God bless you
Great Rebeauti
Coming soon philippines, taking knowledge about philippines with your video
Thankyou
Thank you RB for the awareness tips and everything of your surroundings and everything that's pretty good video I enjoyed it. But everybody should be aware of their surroundings they should always keep their head on a Swiffer. Of course you know you had the same problem and every country every continent in the world. You have a blessed day and keep doing what you doing!! Have a bless and safe day yourself!! 🙏🙏
Thank you for this video. Very useful. 👍
Rubeauti Thank You for the Advice I Appreciate it.
Love your hair like this Rubeauty. 🤗 Thanks for another brilliant video.
Excellent blogger. You are not afraid to ask difficult and controversal questions. Filipinos are much liike many other people in their strong attachment to needing structure and order in their life. While that is a good thing it it also a bad thing. It accounts for Marcos's popularity and the predominance of the Catholic church. The bad side is it retards the development that come from the collision of forces. I do not mean war or conflict but the collision of ideas as occurs in a democracy. I have lived here for three years and love the people and the country but economic stability and creativity are both risky endeavors that are yet to be achieved.
