We are all the same in this world. Russians, American, Germans, British, French, Asians, etc. We enjoy life. We are all people. We want to explore other cultures, food and sights. The Philippines is a perfect place to experience happy people, nature and cuisines. My American friend it's totally different there. People are hospitableand friendly.

Mabuhay ang mga Pilipino kasama ang mabubuting banyaga sa Pilipinas! ❤

nice conversation with an American guy,,yes Davao has variety of fruits,,enjoy with your lovely family maam

lovely to see old friends but most of all hearing your experiences and expectations about Philippines and its people

Aloha! Thank you for loving my home country. I found your channel from Jelena Kopelic.

Valentina, it is good that you set aside the seeds of MARANG FRUIT during eating. But, amazingly let the seeds of Marang fruit dried under the sun. Then, let the be fried in the pan without oil or water. Just plainly fried. During frying, you need to stir or mix always to avoid over cooked. Once, it cooked. You have to eat it. It is tasty. Similar to fried peanut. So delicious. Try it.

Pls support guys, Valentin pls like and share❤❤🎉🎉

Thank you for choosing our country to live in.Im new to your Chanel,but I sub.already.God bless mam & fam.

It's good to see both American and Russian talk with each other. They are not enemies as what I usually watch in the Hollywood movies. They are promoting Russian or USSR(KGB) as villains. But look at these Russians,they are such good people and they can live just like a natural Filipinos. I love Americans but I think now, I love Russians.

It seems Russian and and Philippine people have certain important things in common with their history. I like to watch Natasha's Adventure to help me understand contemporary Russia and your videos are very good too.

Oh now I know why there are many Russians in Samal island! Enjoy the beautiful Philippines

WOW🤗 look at your husband Valentina he has no time looking around and to look at your sweet smile your husband is so much inlove of eating Marang 🤣🤣😂🥰🥰👍🏽👍🏽

Hooray to your family, Valentina, and a big shoutout to your American friend who convinced you to come and settle in the Philippines!

Wow nice vlog simple life ❤ new subscriber here ❤

I subscribed to you and to your husband. You both blog nicely. God bless your family. Enjoy living here in the Philippines ❤🙏

Hi valintina im present every vlog you have im not absent

@Valentina loving Philippines. I have a couple of people in my life who are Russian. They are two of the nicest people i know. One is my doctor, the other is my co-worker. I plan on going to the Philippines next year. If you're still in Samal, I'll do my best to see your Russian village. I hope i can meet you and your kids there. Love from Southern California.

I can only say that Valentina is really a beautiful woman with feature of a Russian Model. She is really good woman thriving to be a good wife and a mother in a foreign land/Philippines. Eventually her English is getting better and better everyday. Her sons would eventually adapt the English language with continuous training. Thank You Valentina for sharing your family’s daily life. Wow I like your eye brows that you did tinting it. Also the seeds of the jackfruit you can plant it in your backyard. It doesn’t require lots of tending. Take care !

Hello my friend. Marang tastes so sweet and I love it as well the very first time I taste it from Dumaguete. In your place in Mindanao it is not that expensive but here in Luzon it's expensive to buy marang.🥰

The fruits looks so fresh and delicious❤

WooW thats cool. i'm also more on vege, fruits & fish 👍👏👌

What a best life you got guys! Pls give and send me some of those pineapple!!

Marang. So sweet❤

The reason why the people say Hey Joe because those american GI who are in the military this is how they called each other and then people hear it. and evrytime the pilipino see an american they'll say Hey Joe. People in the Phillipines before doesn't see much foreigners they think all of them are americans. Hey Joe was also started by the group of missionaries from Utah, US and did a very good contribution to the visayas island and mingled with all the people in their community. Thank you for sharing this Valentina. That was a good story how you came to Samal Island. I hope you had fun. Thank you for this guy from America.

Ohh finally! We now know the history of russians existence in samal...all because of this amazing american guy.

My favorite fruit in Mindanao..marang cheapest & of course yummy delicious.

i accidentally see your vlog when you and your frnd go to black beach, i just amazed how you have a humble life in my country❤❤❤❤❤

You can eat seeds of Marang, just let the seeds dry in the sun and after it's dried you can cook it like Castanyas and peel the skin then eat it. We used tocook those Marang seeds when we used to live in Zamboanga City before we moved to Quezon City in Metro Manila.

Those small native pineapples are so sweet and you can smell them from a mile away❤

Great to hear that man made you come here... Hope you stay here in the Philippines longer. Godbless you all😊

Wow yummy Marang fruit... I miss it ! Watching from K.S.A.❤

I can’t wait to be back in Samal island to see how it is after 25 years. I was born in South Cotabato and now live in the USA.

Durian is a superfood no wonder your skin is glowing and looks very tight and young

Your channel pops up after I watched your interview with Jelena....🤣...now I subscribed!.

The best place to live as a foreign is davao people are honest and no scammer the perfect place for foreign

a new subscriber here love your vlog❤❤❤welcome to the philippunes

For me, marang fruit is just too sweet for me. Another thing Val, can you ask anyone in Samal if they come across a white mango variety. It is called Baluno or Bauno by the natives in Mindanao.

Life is short. Traveling, Exploring , Living in other country is Education. Your kids are lucky for they experience it early in Life. 🇷🇺🇵🇭

Camiguin island 🏝️ is also worth a visit!

It's ready to eat....i love those both fruits

marang fruit is my favorite it s yummy😊

I’m so envious that you’re eating marang My top most favorite I’d be happy to see you eat kaimito as well!

Yes Valentina you came to the right place plenty of fruits in davao. ❤😊

Month of july august and september is fruits season in mindanao.

Ma'am i suggest when you buy supplies or groceries to the market or public market, you must show them how you interact wth locals so that your subscriber become aware and curious wth your everyday vlog. So that you make attract more and more potential subscriber in your youtube channel.. thank

i must admit, we are friendly to foreigners much more than our Filipino kababayans😂when soc meds are infested with politics it's relaxing to see this kind of scenario❤.tnx for loving ar country though,u cant own a land.for 1 reason,foreigners can afford to buy bigger, higher prices of lands and locasl can be deprived of owning 1.

Tropical fruits are abondant in Ph..but Pinoys dont know much about their benefits..but foreigners do 👍

Your house so cute😊

If you just plant more you harvest more that’s life in Philippines

Baby pineapple 🍍 is very good indeed.

We don't have that in our area at Luzon mostly only at Mindanao if I'm not mistaken

Marang is also one of my favorite fruit. Unfortunately its expensive here in Luzon.

❤❤❤From Cebu Philippines

Your children are so cute..keep good job mam ..mabuhay po kayo...❤❤❤❤❤

The word JOE is came from the American TV commercial "HEY JOE ROMANO" cowboy commercial😅

~so pretty your daughter~🥺😍😊

Marang is my favorite fruit

It's good to plant more pineapple in there Valentina.The soil is healthy for that fruit.

Beautiful Samal Island

FYI: GI Joe just means American soldier, it was coined during World war 2 when Americans came to free us from Japan. So when we see caucasians , we refer to you as GI Joe.

Valentina if you like marang for the milky taste you should try star apple, and maybe please do more content trying other 🇵🇭 local fruit, i recommend lansones

theres also a fruit here called " atis "...its about the size of a fist, something like a cross between marang and guyabano...but sweet..

You can cook marang seeds and eat it. It taste like jackfruit seeds...

Marang is very sweet just like you Valya. Marang is My favorite next to durian!

May I recommend that you leave business cards at fruit stalls and groups of people you meet. Also collab with others I would like to see your number increase and succeed There’s not too many female bloggers living in the Philippines Also, you seem genuine and kind to locals, even appreciative More blessings to you !

Men! You made us so starving here in usa while watchin you eating that big fruit! Hows the taste?

Can use fork when eating Marang . So it won't be messy in the hands. I just lately discover that also.

Durian are national fruit here in Malaysia it's there favorite fruit very expensive though

They use to before for American men, but no more now. Not all Filipinos are friendly I must say, but we respect foreigners as long as they are nice too.

You can use fork instead of hands when eating marang.try using fork under it because sometimes you cannot pull it by hands.and it is very interesting using fork you can pick 3 seeds

Great attitude. ❤

Enjoy watching .

I think the greeting "HEY JO" is one wat greetings the american people way back when Gen. Douglas Mc Arthur Land in the Philippines. Because during that rime are not yet well educated that time . The only things can say to greet is HEY JO!! and it becomes a traditonal greetings among filipinos that heard in our ancestors

I love Marang and Durian but the Durian is so famous in all over Philippines Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao.. and Marang only famous in Mindanao

The big pineapple fruit is not yet ripe.the small one is surely sweet.wow marang fruit is very delicious fruit.super sweet and fresh.you have lot of fruits in your backyard valentina.

Hi Val! Do you know that I haven't tried Marang? We don't have that here in Manila. I'm curious about the taste. Hopefully someday I get the chance to taste it. 😊 The American guy, Derick. Is he living there in Samal too?

I just love marang!

In the Philippines, we treat people with respect and with genuine warmth and hospitality. Nationality doesn't matter because we are all like one big community, because we are all citizens of the world, meeting together in one cultural melting pot-PH!

camiguin also is the best mango...❤

It is more fun to live in the Philippines

Sometimes they call you joe because in the dictionary joe meaning is a friend that is why they say hi joe mean a friend especially when a lot of Americans stay here in the Philippines

Wow, Segie is feasting on the fruit! Did he finish the entire fruit himself?

soon in Samal might the properties will sell in high value because soon they will build a bridge from davao to samal island..better u have to buy as early then in future u sell it into high value

Tovarisch, that American guy is a lot of balls to come to Samal Island. And so Russian comrades! Privet!

Jackfruit just a little difficult.!

Enjoy life, we are all the children of god and god created this world for us

Is Darrick a resident of Samal or just visiting the place. From your conversation, I learned that Darrick has been staying in Davao since 2008 and has been moving around the Philippines!

Valentina come try to visit Kidapawan City every February as the celebrate Timpupu Festival. It’s a festive celebration for the abundance of fruits. It’s the fruit basket of the Philippines. Also Hey Joe is one of the old habit of Filipino to say Hello. Back in the days Americans are the white people who visit Philippines and they often called Joe. Filipinos had the impression that all white people are Americans.

And you say now they seldom not telling that word Joe because they are all modernise and people of the Philippines there life improved very well Philippines is now a popular country

Marang..😮😋😋

I'm looking the Phil as a New United World whose community citizens are from different countries of the world ; serving as a live museum or racial bank of the world; each race lived with more or less 25 islands each. It shld be governed primarily of love, care, consciousness, respect to.well defined rights faith and beliefs of Divine sanctity. But extinc to person's or community with greediness to gain self or unified power to rule above (esp to non aggressive grp), those that act to distruct normal, calm atmosphere of a normal beautiful world. ❤

Your life will be long here in the Philippines because you like to eat different fruits, try eating vegetables ..

Try this , dont throw the seeds , dry the seeds for one day ,then dry fry ,( no oil ) until light brown , its good.........my children liked it...

There's a lot of marang in the province of Bukidnon.

Jackfruit it so yummy 😋

You can cook marang seed by roasting like peanut
