An American's Perspective on Life in the Philippines

U must too..to use that kze poh at opo much better..there treat u more diffrently.😊

“Missionaries in the Philippines” is so cringe these days.
Imagine trying to convert a nation that’s already the largest Christian nation in Asia. 🤦🏻‍♂️😑

👏👏👍👍🤏🤗

Because of this!!!both of you deserve million subscribers from my Countrymen ❤❤❤

Tama yon Jared... Dapat my "Po":...as a Respect...to all Filipino na di alam ng mga Foreigners. That's why most Foreigners who used this culture...Filipino people love thrm cause of respect not only as respect but most respectee, if most used " Po".

Si madam..prang pinay tlga..Goodluck n God bless 🎉🎉🎉

Po is not in the Hiligaynon vocabulary in Iloilo, Negros, and other provinces not speaking Tagalog.

I really enjoy watching your video/podcast.

Aman a pilipino rispec my girl proud to be apilipino

As a transplanted Filipino living in the US, it’s easier to communicate with Americans in an office setting, because the English we learn is formal English. It’s is a little bit different in a social setting since we are brought up interacting socially in Tagalog and Taglish which is really not understood if you are in a group with non Tagalog speakers.

Her filipino husband is so lucky to have her. It's like hitting the lottery jackpot prize.

Po as being respectful to your elder. I know what you mean, I get that from my nephews when I visited the Philippines when I was around 30. I told them don't use po at me.

I have a good time watching your conversation. Ann is very charming that's reason how your husband was captivated by her. I can understand Ann's 'difficulty' interacting with Filipinos in the Philippines. Filipinos are by nature usually shy. But why complicates it is not because they can't speak English nor the way they speak English. The reason is that Filipinos, although they can understand English, they have a hard time expressing what they want to say in English. Knowing English is not the same as speaking English. Overtime, Filipinos are sociable, you just have to find ways to break the barrier. Hope you enjoy the Philippines.

Wow! Masaya ako na makakita na kapwa ko american na nagsasalita tagalog din .

Jay thank you for making this kind of content. Somehow better understanding on our culture. Get married to a Pilipina😊..

Wow Americanize n Filipino recipe for husbnd

I like your channel. Filipino here living in Dawson Creek, BC. Minsan usap tayo in Tagalog! Hahahhaha

Sa mga foreigner na gusto matuto mag-Tagalog mahalagang matutunan muna nila bumigkas ng ABAKADA..

Not all Filipinos are using "po"or opo

Man, come here in phil. already.

Thank you

Wow u know tagalog guys..god bless kumusta na ksyu..

Taglish

hi guys...i want to see u cook checkin adobo..

Your American guest married to a Filipino is so cute and just being straightforward & frank about her cultural exoerience. Filipinos are fond of vloggers if they happen to like you personally. She can definitely win a lot of followers coz she's so sweet.

Cguro pag sinabing filipino time, tumutukoy cguro sa taong late 😅

I guess a lot of foreigners will learn how to deal with Filipinos from both of you. To let you know, Filipinos is easy to deal with because of their friendly attitude. Shy at first but when you got them talk, you’ll be amazed how they become your best friends. As long as you don’t show or say any negativity, they’ll be your “ angel” friend forever! They’ll do the impossible for you…

excellent conten, nice video

using PO nowadays its ok because its sign of RESPECT to both parties

as a filipino, i can say na pwede mo gamitin ang "po" kahit sa makakausap mo na hindi po alam kung matanda o bata sya sa iyo, inshort kahit anong edad pwede ka mag po as a respect sa makakausap mo.. parang may psychological thingy yun na kapag gumamit ka una ng po sa makakausap mo nagiging magalang din sila sayo. but im not generalizing na lahat. so ayun 😊

Great interaction, Jared and Anne! However, and considering the centerpiece or your channel, in general, is Tagalog-speaking non-Filipinos, I thought the "vlog mission" would have been more impactful to your predominantly Tagalog-aware subscribers/viewers (I don't have the statistics to back it up.) had your conversation been directed towards a more Tagalog approach, 75% for example. Afterall, I will venture to say that that's what enticed viewers to your channel. Pero, overall, masaya ako sa palitan ninyo ng pananaw (nuances, quirkiness, awkwardness, pleasant vibes, etc.). Good stuff pa rin, Jared.👍----- Pinoy sa Peoria, AZ na anak ng Bicolano at Ilocana na lumaki sa salitang Tagalog (Manila) pero nakapag-asawa ng Bisaya na taga-Cebu, at tatay ng isang binatilyong GenZ'er na ipinanganak sa CA na nag-i-struggle na mag-Tagalog pero "willing" na matuto. 🙂

how about canadians garbage send in the philippines imao hahaha 😂

Maraming salamat sa pagmamahal!

Can u do diana next pls,. Shes egyptian canadian na super galing

I’ll put my message in Tagalog !! So kailan mo balak magpunta dito sa Pilipinas? Pag punta mo bisita ka dito sa laguna ipapasyal ka namin sa magagandang lugar dito at kakain ng mga pinoy food at tuturuan mag tagalog ng diretso hehe.

Sir Jared,i enjoyed your conversation❤❤❤❤

I really enjoyed this interview! I’m a Filipino American. Like so many others, my parents did not teach me Tagalog—they wanted me to assimilate into American culture. It’s one of my biggest regrets that I never learned. I’m 66 years old now and feel that it would be harder for me to learn. I do know a few words and phrases. I took Spanish in high school in the early 1970’s. I live in Maryland.

You’re amazing, Jared!

❤❤❤

You can use “po or ho”. Salamat po or hindi ho.

She speaks like a Filipina with an American twang👍😀
