After spending nearly 1 year of my life in the Philippines, I have noticed several wacky things about Filipino culture. Here are 5 of them that stand out to me the most about Filipino Culture!

Do you have anything else to add to this list about the way of life in the Philippines?

P.S. This video is not intended to be rude or offensive — it’s made out of pure good intentions. As many of you know, the Philippines is my favorite country in the world and my second home!

  1. As a Filipino I can confirm we are obsessed with Facebook, most people are using Facebook all the time. There is one occasion that all my friends are using Facebook and I'm the only one who using YouTube

  2. I use spoon and fork in formal occasions…I use spoon when I’m eating something that is wet and has soup but I commonly eat with hand…I’m partly Chinese so I eat with chopsticks a couple times a week because of my mom😂

  3. The part where you said they tell you anything one is so true. I'm Filipino and moved to a different country a few years ago and going to school was so different, weird, shocking, confusing and almost rude in a way? I would always be like, "That looks bad" or "Don't do that do this instead". I just want to help them and people always found me rude because I'm helping. Not hating, I just was confused at the new style and I'm used to it now 🙂

  4. filipino security guards also take the job extremely seriously, especially young male guards. they love having a uniform and some authority to chase away loiterers. security guards in europe or north america wouldnt care at all about stuff that filipino guards go crazy about

  5. Wait, are you also Jewish? (mainly because of your shirt with hebrew on it) Because I'm about to start dating this Filipino doctor (so my family likes that outcome) but I was wondering how Filipino's feel about Jewish people? I don't know if I am receiving a real straight answer out of him.

  6. QUIRKY FACTS THAT ARE ACTUALLY BETTER. #1: i prefer Water buckets are a little better than just tissues I mean cleaning is better than just wiping🧻.

    #2: the food is also what makes the country having thin or sometimes healthy people. It's because they eat rice and chicken soup etc.

    #3: did you know that Jolibee exists in the Philippines? they are also more popular than McDonald's in the Philippines.

    #4: they sometimes still speak English with a Filipino accent but some NO accent just a normal WORD they say.

    #5: spoons and forks are the main thing of meals because the one who invented that culture says "it is a safe way of eating" so they don't have to use a knife for cutting also they like to Finish meals so the spoon has more storage for rice to enter.

  7. In tarlac theres a tradition that happens in april where catholics whip their backs with 20 pieces of small bamboo sticks and then they inflict tiny cuts on their backs some wear robes while carrying a cross some are tied with a rope and pulled around while some carry a cross while being pulled around

  8. This is the reason Why Emelda Marcos used FB to trick pinoy into her lies about their family. Sadly most of us did not check the history, we only use FB for our reference in voting the next president. Go BBM 🤦

  9. As an Indonesian, we share the same traits with our filipinos neighbour. Particularly regarding the "punctuality" issue (an Indonesian friend says "i'm otw" when you call him/her to an appointment, it is very likely that he/she is still in the bed). And about being nosey, i think it is a common trait in South East Asia. In Singapore they call this trait as being "kaypoh" (please correct me if i'm wrong), and in Indonesia they call it as being "kepo".
