I came to UBE Fiesta in Germany — the biggest Filipino festival in Europe 🇵🇭💜 And honestly… I didn’t expect to feel so emotional. 20,000 Filipinos in one place, Filipino food everywhere, music, dancing, smiles, Tagalog and Bisaya language everywhere around me, people celebrating their culture and their roots so proudly 🫶🥹 It didn’t feel like Germany anymore. It felt like I was back in the Philippines again 🥹🥰 I was just walking around with the happiest heart, eating Filipino food, meeting people, and feeling that warm Filipino energy that I missed so much. This is Day 1 of UBE Fiesta and I’m taking you with me 🇵🇭✨ Thank you for watching ❤️🫶

Jeepney in Germany.
We've arrived.
Guys, look at this mega-mega fresh
lechon belly!
We're in this park where
the fiesta
will be.
Vanessa, what is your expectations from
today?
You wanna shot beautiful videos?
Yeah, I will try. I will do two videos
cinematic and one fun video.
My expectations?
A lot of amazing
food, a lot of fun.
I wanna meet a lot of nice, funny
people.
So many people coming. We've been together in one bus.
To the fiesta!
And I read that here will be
possible to win
a ticket to the Philippines.
Have you read about this?
Here is today possible to win
a ticket to the Philippines.
Will you take part
in a game?
Hello! Hi!
Filipina Jeepney in Germany.
How it came here?
Is it your jeepney?
How you bring it here?
We take it with a container
and let it build in
Villegas, Rizal.
Wow!
And then we let it build
for the
20 feet container
and put it inside
by ship and come to Germany.
Germany allow
this by taxes and everything?
Very, very problematic.
I can imagine
how many years.
We don't need this.
How many years you spend
in the Philippines?
Yes!
How many years you stay in the Philippines?
I never!
I never stay!
Because the brother
of my boss
was a missionary.
And then he go back and my boss said
such a jeepney
will take to Germany.
He let it build and then we have
it in Germany.
So now you bring
to all the fiestas?
Yes, because I have a big heart
for children
and Philippines.
Me too!
Because I know the Philippines
and Frankfurt and I love them.
I came to the Philippines in 2022
since that
I'm in love.
Nice!
So guys, imagine I met
a subscriber who is also from Somalia!
Take a picture!
1, 2, 3!
Subscribe!
Don't forget to subscribe!
Because you smell like in the Philippines?
Sounds like in the Philippines?
Everywhere Filipinos!
And here is just amazing!
I'm so happy I came here!
Let me try!
One portion of pork barbecue please!
One time?
So the first food what we are trying
here is pork barbecue
with rice.
In the Philippines it would cost much cheaper
here it costs 15 Euros.
It's like 1000 Pesos.
In the Philippines how much does it cost?
I don't know right now.
25 Pesos?
Maybe?
One stick?
Or 30?
I'm not sure.
But just one stick?
And then the parade started.
One by one different Filipino communities
were walking through the middle of the festival.
Some came with traditional instruments,
some with flags, beautiful costumes
and symbols from their own regions.
And you could really feel
that every group was proud
to show where they come from.
It was like the whole Philippines
was passing in front of me.
Different islands, different traditions,
different colors, but all together
in one place.
Until today I never saw
how ube looks like.
I knew it's like a
relative of sweet potato.
So we left in the middle of the ube fest
because we had to check in in the hotel.
And then we
a little bit slept, showered,
changed the clothes
and now we look like twins with Vanessa.
Nice.
So now we are going back to
ube festival.
We still did not eat lechon.
That's what we will do.
We eat only pork barbecue.
Lechon.
Also we will see some performances.
To the singer band.
We are going now.
So guys, it is so nice.
I don't know.
I just love it.
So many people came.
And they are coming and coming.
And more and more and more.
So many people.
So many Filipinos.
I never saw so many Filipinos in one place in Germany.
And I just love
to be in the Philippines
just because of Filipinos.
Because it is so
such an atmosphere
when everyone is laughing.
Everyone is so
loving.
You can smile at person, look at them
and they will smile you back always.
Nobody will make you feel stupid
just for being.
But in the end
I was already like
my mean German
because I was so tired
and so overheated.
And then people come to me and say
Hi Alena.
So good we came here
to take rest.
So if you was one of them who smiled to me
and came to me and I was not
really nice, guys I was overheated.
Actually I am very nice
and you can come to me always
if you see me on the street
or somewhere.
I will be only very sweet to you.
So you want me to film or what?
Can you take a picture of them?
Where is Riban? Okay here.
You wanna be in my vlog?
Sure!
Guys imagine
imagine who I met here in Uberfest.
I don't know if you know
this girl or no.

Also vlogger family.
So the Patel
family, the husband is
Indian, wife is Filipina.
And four beautiful
beautiful children.

So what I want to tell?

four beautiful beautiful children.
And this is Riban.

So how it is
for you to be as a Filipina
mom in Germany?
Oh I love it here, I like their culture.
You know the school system
and the people in Cologne.
Especially meeting you here, what a pleasure.
I am not German you know.
But at least you are here, you speak German.
We speak English, hello!
It's good to see you in this kind of event.
Yeah.
So what do you expect from Uber Festa?
Of course Uber.
Let's go!
So we are back
after a pause.
And thanks God
it's not that hot anymore.
Because on the day
in the morning
it was so hot guys, I can't
explain. I got I think
a heat stroke.
Look at this.
Fiesta.
Is it cassava? Or what is this?
Cassava cake.
Guys look at this.
Mega fresh
lechon belly.
Wow.
I love hot.
I need to eat first.
For us?
Trying this for the first time.
This is leaves from Uber.
Yeah?
How is the taste?
You know like
similar to leaves from grapes.
I tried it already
and I like it.
It's the same but different way of making.
It's delicious actually.
Yeah.
I love you.
And just like that
the first day of the festival came
to an end. I was honestly
so happy to meet some
of my followers. Thank you so much
to everyone who recognized me
and came to me.
I was really happy to see many beautiful
people, to try so much Filipino food
again and to hear all the songs
again. Of course it was
really hot, like really hot but
somehow that made it feel even more
like we were actually in the Philippines.
The food, the music, the people,
the smiles, everything felt
so warm. And tomorrow
is another day of the festival.
Sinulog is coming and I'm already so
excited for it. So yeah.
Day 1 is done. My heart is full
and I can't wait for tomorrow.
