*Thank you Toni for being so nice and mabait & Thank you mga tao. Im always grateful sa lahat* 🥰

Kudos to you Toni for bringing out the best in Basel, he is more Filipino than most of us. Thank God Basel was sent here by his father and gave the Philippines a loving loyal adopted son. We sure need more Basel here in Pinas to make us realize how lucky are we to be in this Paradise of the Orient, God bless the Philippines!

Isa ako sa taga hanga mo basel, salamat sa mabuting puso mo. Mas pusong pinoy kapa kesa tunay na filipino. Gob bless you always.♥️🇸🇾🇵🇭

Basel is a perfect example of a well raised, rich kid who is grounded and well bred. When we got to know his dad through his vlogs, we understood why basel is such an amazing guy

"I don't deny the fact that I am a fully blooded Syrian because if you deny your origin, you can't be loyal anymore. I was born in Syria and I fell in love with the Philippines. Why did I convert to Filipino? I choose to live here." -Basel

Looking forward for Basel and Alex Gonzaga's vlog collab, too. 🥺😍 Who's with me? 👇🏻

Finally I found a Philippine channel that has English subtitles ❤ I love the Philippines 🇵🇭 I’m puertorriqueño 🇵🇷 living in the 🇺🇸. To all Filipinas please stay strong I admire all of you

My story is just way too similar to basil’s story.... I’m a yemeni guy who lives in KSA I’ve been studying in Philippines 5-6 years i left my family in an early age to study and finish my college.. I really love it there and the most beautiful thing in ph is the people there..

OH MY GOD, for someone who graduated as a Computer Engineer, I could say Basel is really smart and very determined, It is not easy to finish this course within 4 years only, the major subjects from 3rd year to 5th year are so hard, Im pretty sure he also studied during summer with maximum units. This guy is very intelligent with a very strong foundation of Good Morals and Values. RESPECT.

Whilst others are chasing American/Canadian citizenship, here comes a guy chose the Philippines Citizenship. Isn't it something we Filipino should be proud of?

This one is very successful man Today he proved himself dispite of all the struggles he had now he has his own career and his family all together now so proud of you

I salute Basel in 10 years he’s accomplished so much and his love for the Philippines is beyond me.

Basel is such a blessing to the Filipino people, he has this true Filipino heart ❤️❤️❤️🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭Thank you Basel for your generosity and compassion for the Filipino people. . .🥰🥰🥰

We were schoolmates back in Perps and even before mabait na talaga si Basel.

He was raised well by his parents. I commend them for raising a good man.

Made my heart smile for you Basel! You are loved by many Filipinos. Finally you got to be where your home is!!!

He is not just a vlogger. He is not just a filipino-syrian citizen. He is just an icon and amazing people, hes goodness radiates it very clear

The fact that his parents sent him here in the Philippines is just... wow. They must've trust the Philippines very much.

Nakakahiya naman sa ibang pilipino na di manlang makita ang ganda ng ating bansa. Samantalang itong si Basil eh love na love ang ating bansa.. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Congrats sir ang Philippines ang napili ng magulang mo... D sila nagkamali na sa Pinas ka pinadala KC Super proud ang mga pinoy sayo nakaka taba ng puso na kong pano mo pahalagahan ang Pinas... God bless u more blessing to come and always good health sa Famly mo lalo na kay mama baba mo.... IM your 100% fan sa lht ng mga ginagawa mo sa nakapalibot sayo...

Sana marami pa ang katulad ni basel. More power to you Mr Basel

He said that he came from a well-off family but he tried not to depend on them. So God gave him a mission to survive on his own to prove that he is an independent man who can depend on his own handwork.

I'm very proud of you Basel ooh my !!! You're awesome!!! I can't imagine that you embrace everything in our country Philippines!! Almost all of us leave our country but here you are ,!!! You are now pilipino citizen!!! Congratulations!!!

The last line was a punchline from Basel, the people here are stiff, I lived for many years in Belgium I grew up here and when I go to Philippines I feel alive ...the warmth and the smiles of the people. I miss that a lot...here I have no friends and it's hard to even talk to people like your neighbor etc. This interview with Toni was awesome,intimate and chilled. I really like Toni, she has a great vibe and she is the first famous Filipina that I have got to know.

that’s soo true. many Filipinos have American, Australian or Canadian dreams etc. but hands down to Basel for loving the Philippines.

i love how toni respect the religion of basel. she covered her body as a respect. and looks simple. ❤️❤️❤️

It is so impressing that a foreigner like Basel who choose to be a Filipino who loves the people, our culture, foods and living. He is so proud to be one of us and preferred to live here for good. Keep up the good works to filipinos Basel!!!.

Your life story Basel was so identical to our many korean vlogger who grew up here and learned how to love this country altough Korea was so rich and developed they chose to live here and be a part of this country for good.Many of them came here on a very young age live and studied here and then became filipino by heart like you said.

He already achieve his dream of being a Filipino.....and we are proud of you basil for choosing our country

Been crying listening to what he said about the time when he graduated and no one went to his party while his family watching him through a video call😭😭😭😘😘😘😘😘😘😘 SOLID Fan and Supporter of Basel here🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Hello Basel. I'm Pearl, a Filipina living in Cologne, Germany since 1991. I stumbled upon your vlog today and viewed you showing your Dad around in Makati, the mall, Tagaytay, eating Bulalo, marketing meat and fruits, etc. And then I watched your interview which moved me to tears. You are such an inspiration. Your Dad is right when he told you that, "What doesn't kill you no matter how difficult, will only make you stronger." I hope life treats you well and that you stay healthy and humble. God works in mysterious ways and evidently he has already something beautiful and wonderful planned for you. So keep the faith and trust only in him. Btw, we're both Scorpions (my birthday is in November 13).

Basel is more grateful than the true Filipinos while some of us only knows to complaints. If only we got half of his mindset than all of us will be successful as well. Thank you Basel for inspiring us❤️.

He was rejected when applying for work because he has a purpose of helping many Filipino people. Galing!

Philippine is my second home; stayed there for 9 years. My husband and I were both in the Philippines and upon returned home to our country we have also travelled to few countries in the world. But I always told my husband that I would always want to choose to visit the Philippines over and over because indeed "mga tao in the Philippines is the best". I have the best of friends in the Philippines whom I miss everyday.

Pure hearted person..he's living d dream..not only for himself but for all the Filipino's around him...salute to d parents..

i admired this man so much...thanks for embracing our tradition as Filipinos!

I'm a subscriber of Basel. He is so different, humble, kind, generous-giver.

I started crying when he said, “I’m not just going to let them go,” to people who stood by his side. That’s gratitude❣️

Congratulations Basel for being a proud Filipino 🇵🇭from Syria 🇸🇾. Grabe nakaka touch naman ang story ni Basel mapaluha ka talaga. Thank you Toni and Basel sa napakagandang story . Mabuhay po kayo. Enjoy and God bless!

Thank you for loving our country Basil..a full blooded Syrian but a true Filipino in heart...Mabuhay ka Basil.

Hearing His stories how humbled and proud he is being A Filipino i was teary eyed. Salute to you Tao -Basel ❣️💚💛🇵🇭

Toni, you've hit the right person in guesting on your show/vlog which brought out the inner of Basel, well done!!! Am one of his fans. Basel, Eid Mubarak to you and family.

Brother Basel thank you for loving our country Philippines. God bless you. Thank you so much miss Toni for this vedio. I'm happy watching your programme Toni Talks. I get some answers, ideas, sa mga interviews mo at mga guests mo. More power

I admired him for being humble and loves our country more than the other Filipinos living abroad. A very honesty confessed.

Basel is such a good hearted person, he made many people happy, but he himself deals with all the sadness he is keeping inside him. Hope he will see his family again.

“Toni talks” is better than those talk shows on TV. Agree? The interviewer, interviewee, the topic and questions being ask are on point... she’s not being biased to a specific network so she has more freedom to ask questions that would help clarify things and that would also help the respondent be more true not only to himself but to the audience, as well. Mas magaaan sa pakiramdam panuorin kasi you would feel the honesty, sincerity, and respect. Very informative, indeed. ❤️ Kumbaga, pawang katotohanan lamang, walang halong fake news para sa ratings. 😆😅

Hi Basel, Filipinos already accepted you as one of us. Your interaction with people wherever you go comes out easily. You have done so much help to many of our countrymen especially during the pandemic and being an entrepreneur here will surely give more opportunities to more of us. May God give you more happiness and a long life. Watching from the USA.

The heart of a foreign blood for the country, truly a filipino at heart ❤️❤️❤️❤️

i used to work with Syrian guy! they are all nice people. Basel is one of them.

Eto ung dapat tnatawag na influencer at dapat mabigyan ng endorsements.

Tears....im away from home and here you are in my country doing what is best not only for you but for others as well....hod bless you basel!!!!

Love u basil sa pagiging totoo sa aming mga pinoy..more power god always with u😁✌️😘❤️

I love Basel. His parents raised him well. Many rich Filipino's haven't done what he has done. Eng. Subs please 🙏🏼. May God bless him abundantly. Stay safe & healthy

When some Filipinos are being a shamed because of their origin, Basil, a foreigner, is here loving his second home country with so much love and happiness. You maybe born in a different country with different cultural background Basil but your an inspiration to all Filipinos - to love and embrace our own.

Omg! You're so amazing Mr. Basel for what you did. Converting your nationality is not that easy but you were able to. Thank you for loving Philippines.

Mabuhay ka Basel,keep strong,a Syrian now a pilipino God bless

He’s a good guy, he was raised very well by his parents. Very independent and hard working. Good luck to Basel and God bless you always.

Gem of Las Piñas. We are so proud to have Basel, such a selfless person. God bless him for being so giving.

Your parents made a right decision to send you here.. look at you now, happy and contented. More blessings to you and to your family Basel! May Allah always be with you!

I salute you Basel for choosing our country you're very much welcome such a good guy inside/out..We wish you more blessings,good health ,happy nd peaceful existence here in Pinas- from us "Mga Tao"

Wow.. didn't realize my eyes were watery when Toni asked her what's his dream and he answered that he's already living his dream, which is helping people. ❤️

I don’t know why I started crying the first time Basel speaks out in this interview. His an inspiration

Thank you for this interview Ms. Toni G. Basel is the one example how Filipino to be.

I've seen this before and watched it again. I'm so happy that most of his family are visiting or moving to be with him. I hope his brother can have an extended vacation with the family there. I wish him the best and so thankful he is such a good person.

Before Basel loves the Philippines But now the Philippines loves Basel

Toni: What's the best thing in your life right now? Basel: The best thing im my life right now is I'm able to change lives of many people. ❤️

This Syrian guy is truly blessed 🙏very appreciative in life I’m xtremely busy person all of a sudden I saw his vlogg in u tube I kept on laughing by myself?? Pat Ng sabi mga Tao tawa Ng tawa akodahil mga Tao hahaha lol 👏😄😄😃😃😁😀ty sharing TONI 🙏😍 ty b blessed guys 🙏🙏wf 🇺🇸

I am so proud of you Basel. You came here in the Philippines from Syria empty handed and with no family around but you did well, you worked hard for yourself to survive, you studied and finished a course. But now, you succeed in everything you do especially and you are helping many Filipinos. I was so inspired by your story... Kudos to you Basel... God bless you more... 🙏🙏🙏

*Basel's humility is awe-inspiring.* He is awe-inspiring. If you want to know a person's life story, watch ToniTalks. It never fails to deliver the whys and hows of a person.

Basel is basel because of how his parents mold him to their values and he is applying it now to our country. And we're lucky. Thanks Basel 💕

You are so brave and hard working Basel to survive by yourself in a foreign country at the young age, you are awesome!

Nice interview. Basel is really like a filipino. He thinks and acts like a filipino. I really like this man. So humble, so kind. He is an inspiration. Listening to what he has gone through is amazing and inspiring.

I’ve met Basel in person sa Yeoboseyo store nya and I can say that he is a nice and humble person and also mahiyain din hehe… accomodating din sa mga customers nya. He always helps his people sa work. Kaya sana mag progress pa ang business nya.

Yumaman sa sariling sikap. I can feel the sincerity of his heart. Hope he finds his happiness here.

This hits home. Thank you Basel and Toni for letting me remember what matters most...

After I watched this , I salute this man and thank him for loving our country even he is came from well family he is humble in words and heart it is rare to see on a person to talk like this so down to earth, proud from her parents for such a wonderful sibling like basel

“ ...this is my home...” the best phrase I heard from a foreigner!

a lot of pinoys even complaint..but this guy embraced our country and culture whole heartedly. Go bless po!

This guy is full of humility and simplicity inspite of the fact that he came from a well-off and influential family. Filipinos who don't love this country should be ashamed of this nice full-blooded Syrian who chose to become a Filipino citizen. God Bless you Basel and stay safe always.

Thankyou Toni for having this very beautiful precious young man Basel in your program. HIS ONE IN A MILLION AND WITH A HEART OF PURE GOLD SA MGA TAO. And praying much more for Basel success, a Syrian with a pilipino heart. GOD BLESS!

If I Go Big, They Go Big." "We all go TOGETHER." "Im not gonna just let them go." Sana lahat ng Boss ganito. 🤘

"We believe in good karma this is regardless of any religious doings. It's just that you believe when you do good, it comes back to you. When you do bad, it also comes back to you." -Basel

MABUHAY KA BASEL! Hope many people will be like you. Nakakaiyakkk! God Bless you more for loving our Country.

Thanks for choosing our country and your country also Basil you're such a good example and inspiration to us Filipinos God bless you and more powe

I didn't expect this collaboration. I instantly press the play button when I saw Basel.

Sisters and pamangkin your Handsome son and loving supportive wife even I cannot see het on the video. Take care and keep safe 🥰

My employer is a Syrian and tell her the story of him and she's really proud.

Basel should have given some kind of award for all the humanitarian he did to the Filipino people.

When you get to live in a country or region at a tender teen age of 18 you become a part of that place and that place and people and culture become a part of you. Allah bless Philippines and fillipinos. Love you my brothers. . And my fillipino brothers, be proud of where you come from, be proud of your roots. May Allah bless you people, keep a good heart, may you prosper.

I was an international student in Syria before the war, watching Basel has actually helped me to learn more about my Filipino heritage and the language as my ancestors came to South Africa during the Philippines revolution

So what's your dream? "I'm living my dream right now" 🤩

I cried this story. God knows. May the Supreme Being bless you and your family 🙏🏻💙

i love basel! hardworking, independent, kind, very generous. mabuhay basel! 🎉🤩❤️
