girls up to right now going home going home are you work or something or just checking out the mall or what are you up to yeah i'm working here here's a travel tip if a stranger asks you are you going home you don't have to respond don't respond what you're doing for work or whatever even if it's just a youtuber are filipinos what's up philippines welcome back to another reaction video with your host Nelly so happy to see your smiling faces again today we are going to talk about are filipinos really friendly like what's the deal with the philippines why is everybody so joyful and smiley and just nice right because the other side of the world is just like complaining and just you know putting negative thoughts into the world and like you have keyboard warriors and whatnot and like you i just want to see what this video is about because i have lived in the philippines for a very long time traveled to almost 50 provinces or over 50 provinces i say it myself and i felt it and yeah i just want to see what this video has to say about the friendliness of the filipinos shall we excuse me are you recording vlogging hey hi whoa hi you guys uh you live here uh i live abroad yeah no i'm kidding oh i don't know but he looks like a playboy to me hello and welcome back to living abroad in this video i'm going to show you guys if filipinos are actually friendly now i got this idea because somebody left a comment in the last video saying oh these street interviews are scripted or they're planned out okay all those random things i don't mind people talking smack about me but don't talk bad about the filipinos or the people on my channel that i interviewed but trust me they don't have to be there and they're all authentic spontaneous whatever so in this video i'm going to try to talk to some random filipinos and see if they're actually as friendly as everybody says here we go oh and if you're new to the channel hit the subscribe button hit that like button let's get out there uh the idea is to try to interact with as many locals as i can and tell you guys exactly do the same for my channel please across the street here from my apartment i depart across the street it could be a whole mission by itself i want to test if i can make it across without getting hit so be careful i'm gonna go in **** not a good idea let's go further down the trick is to wait for a car that is turning and go with a group of people numbers not a good time to make moves these guys they seem like that's a good time to go that's an experience crossing the road i have to do a whole street food video one day yeah i agree hi you guys uh hey see this guy's already friendly what's your name andre andre okay i like your tattoos man no thanks okay what do they mean anything is that your island i'm from the island okay north side which city or which island i should say oh beautiful island i made a video about that you're a smart man on my channel stunning what kind of job do you have bartender bartender oh so you can mix drinks okay i'm gonna see you there one day okay you gotta remember me okay what's your name brother alex nice to meet you cute friendly across the road and people are super friendly what a friendly dude so i might check out that bar that he's talking about what is all the smoke look at this here okay so this is a very casual vlog already waving hello how

travel tip if a stranger asks you are you going home you don't have to respond don't respond to what you're doing for work or whatever even if it's just a youtuber like hey it's private you know and

helped me out and you have to read the room as well right so some people are in a hurry maybe they don't want to be on camera i asked her afterwards it was okay to record or at least upload that video she said it's fine um because i don't want to put anybody on here that i don't have any permission oh that's very respectful as well to just interact with i don't know what else to ask but to like ask for locations or directions or just any reason to i see a dog let's see if the dogs in the philippines are just as friendly he's a little shy i think you know oh but he's smiling though this microphone i know you like the dead cat but see he's friendly too see ya i can already see the comments people like watch out for the rabies the dog's friendly too anyways let's keep going check out
