[kashleeime]

some filipinos never try to speak tagalog cause they think that philippines is a stupid country.

some people say PHILIPPINES IS A LAND OF TALENTED PEOPLES-IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A TALENT THEN GO TO PHILIPPINES.

no way,philippines has it's own natures view which is really beautiful. mybigbearron,i'm glad you like my country.

Mabuhay ka, Ron!!! U know, it's so heartening to know that u r embracing our culture.. u r more Filipino than our kababayans who are ashamed of their culture.Others even don't try to speak the language anymore. God bless...thanks for loving our culture.

Magandang Umaga, hapon, gabi!!!

[eternitykiss010]

thank you for visiting our country and posting your video about your experience! I hope you come back again... :)

[mybigbearron]

I'm planning to retire there.

[erlich78]

I like balot so much!

[mybigbearron]

It was okay, not something I'd ever have a craving for, but okay.

[eternitykiss010]

hehe.. i'm filipino but i don't really eat balot.. the yellow part is fine with me though

[Garethtkd]

do people have high cholesterol in the philippines? the foods sound oily!

[mybigbearron]

I dunno! I have seen many old timers there, though.

[eternitykiss010]

we filipinos do like a lot of fried foods but we're actually quite health-conscious nowadays so the no-cholesterol oils etc. are often used. ;)

[sh97]

I was age 10-12 at the time&I grew to love some of the acquired tastes. The list is too long to mention but I can say that to this day, I never took a liking to bittermelon(ampalaya), balut, and paksiw(fish stew in a vinegar&gingerroot broth.I did enjoy sour, unripe mangos dipped in salty shrimp paste(bagoong)- although it took me awhile reconsider stinky shrimp paste.

[mybigbearron]

I know what you mean about some of that. I've done balut, which wasn't as sensational as I presumed (needed some hot sauce). I don't like shrimp at all. You're so right about ampalaya. I don't like it unless there's something about the dish to counter the bitterness. Thanks for commenting.

[sh97]

I was there as a child 1988-1990.I remember sampling all the exotic foods that my native cousins introduced me to. We would hop jeepneys&tricycles all afternoon&buy food from street vendors.

[frdrcksncn]

how was Jolibbe for you??

[mybigbearron]

I've never ordered a Champ burger that wasn't hot, tasty, and filling.  I enjoy eating there.

[HomedudePedroski]

masarap ang siapoa. ang barbecue anng mga rice cakes. nakaka gutom na man.

[angelomes]

I'd love to share more about food here in my place (Philippines) that you might have encountered before or not: Sinigang, puto & kutsinta, bibingka, pansit, sapin-sapin, dinuguan, kaldereta, mechado, litson(pork), talaba & tahong(seafood), escabeche, nilaga

[whitney4e]

Oh, I love squid! and pretty much all kinds of sea food...I miss them!

I knew a Philipino family in Canada last summer, they cooked some really good stuff! and they were super nice people and very talented musically!

talking about good time! ^^ Thanks for posting, Ron!

[msscience]

Thanks for making me sooo hungry !!!!! Yummm. You left a little piece of your heart in the calimari :)

[thesmiths1013]

[mybigbearron]

Pig Belly, that's right! And get this. If it weren't sliced thin, you couldn't chew it.

[thesmiths1013]
