Idk but that was a racist thing to say that they were Filipino and Jessica is not. Kudos to the team who handled the situation.

We do not condone racist people, and how the guy treated you, and the staff was unacceptable. I loved how you guys managed to stay calm in that situation. Kudos to you guys!

We do not condone racism. This is the first time that I watched your paborito series and I am loving it as a FIILIPINO..... I am from Bacolod. Jessica lived here and she is always welcome to bring her series here because she is a filipina not just a filipina but a BACOLODNON..... You can say "uncomfortable po kmi kasi nkaka sira ng appetite." but do not spew racist comments. Ambaba ng level of maturity nila. Before they did that they should ask themselelves what would they feel if ginanyan sila while travelling as a tourist in other countries. Okay lng ba na sabihan kaya si kuya na "Stop filming your food or taking pictures you are making us uncomfortable. We are Americans and you are a Filipino know your place." If they encountered this how would they feel?

The restaurant where she got kicked out is most likely PARES RETIRO. The street where she’s standing is Dr. Alejos St. cor. Retiro St. (now NS Amoranto St.). Minalas sya at yung nakatabi nyang customer ay maarte. Ok dyan sa Pares Retiro, hindi maarte mga tao dyan pag kumakain, mga makakatabi mo dyan mga lasing, trabahador, mga sosyal, minsan may pulubi pa nga tatabi sa yo. Pero keri lang, walang na-kick out o nawalan ng appetite. Tapos si kuya bigla daw nawalan ng ‘appetite’ yung customer? Loko pala sya e, gusto lang nya magpa-libre.

Was really enjoying this vlog until that last part. Kuhang kuha ni kuya yung inis ko. I applaud Jessica and her team for being professional. Kung sakin nangyari yan, baka di ako nakapagtimpi. I have no tolerance for people na feeling superior at entitled tapos halatang naghahanap lang din ng gulo.

Buti nalang napaka Professional ni Jessica Lalo na ung pagkasabi nya Ng *"next time, when there's someone who's being like that just say sorry, we'll go out."* Ingat nalang kayo palagi Jessica. We love and support you always kahit Anong Sabihin nila Sa'yo. 💖💕💖💕💗

You did more for us Jessica, than him being a Filipino.

Nakakatawa si kuya, tapos na kumain sabay sasabihin na wala appetite nya. The design is gustong makalibre, mag gagalit galitan tapos gagawa eksena tapos kakausapin yung manager ng restaurant tapos syempre si manager para hindi lumaki yung issue sasabihin nalang na wag na magbayad si kuya. Hahahahha galing ni kuya 😂😂😂

Our apologies Jessica. I hope that kuya didn't change your views about us Filipinos. When I say US it's us with you. You're Filipino. Parang mas Pinoy ka pa nga compare sa mga kakilala kong Pinoy. 💗

that's straight up racism, I would assume. I understand kuya's complaint cause some people are just too sensitive about being filmed and ITS OKAY. But to include that statement, "Pilipino tayo eh, sila hindi." why does it matter though? WE ALL BLEED THE SAME. I hope kuya will realized that its 2023 already. Kudos to your team for handling it professionally and for big restaurants it's better if you straight up ask the manager. The staff could only do so much. I hope you are not discouraged by the actions of this incident and will still continue your PABORITO SERIES. Cause I enjoy binge watching it while having my meal. Its makes me full and happy every end of your videos! And helps a lot of people, tourist or local to know these kind of places because mostly are very affordable and budget friendly for both families and students.

You perfectly handled the situation. So proud of you and your team. Please know that there are more people who are willing to welcome you than to play Karen around you. Keep it up, Jess!

As someone who grew up in La Loma, I can attest that this place in QC is the actual OG for all foodies and those businessmen planning on putting up new businesses. Favorite ko and I grew up eating Lydia's Lechon, Pares Retiro and Sizzling Sa Matnog. Also during their fiesta sa La Loma, you'll experience yung halos 1 week celebration na minsan may pa-mini concerts pa sila, especially during the early 2000's. Nakakamiss naman talaga! 😭🫶

Pinaka Gusto ko yung Advice ni Jessica sa team kapag naulit ulit yung bad experience nila kay kuya. "Say sorry and go out. Don't even use your precious energy"

Theres always at least one in every country that would ruin it for the rest of us who are always welcoming foreigners to our country. Please understand that they are not mad at you, they are mad and unsatisfied with their lives that they feel they need to put everyone around them down. You and your crew handled that professionally, and know there are more good people than bad. ❤❤

Hello Jessica, I feel bad about what happened at the near end of the episode. Kudos to your team and to you for being the bigger person in those kind of situations. Nothing beats a heart that is sincere and loving. You love Philippines, you love Filipinos and we love you as well. Lesson learned. Point taken. Duly noted. Hope you find motivation and encouragement more during these hurtful experiences... If I were in the situation as well, I would also decide to just get out and not fan up the flames of a confused/triggered person. Personally, not the type of guy to settle everything with arguments proving that I am in the right. Even though you really know you are not doing anything wrong, it is always a matter of "what" is the right thing to do, not "who" is more right between the two of you. P.S My mom's hometown is in Laloma. So it's kinda personal for me, cause we used to have some bad memories in the area.

i love Jessica's positive and professional outlook on the situation. yes we cannot please everybody and the best thing to do is to just de-escalate things. at the end of the day you guys got this experience under your belt to be better equipped for the next time(hoping wala na). kudos to your team as always keep the great contents coming.

Nakakatawa naman si kuya na nasira appetite HAHAHA To Kuya: The best way to enjoy your meal without being disturbed is to dine at your own place.

omg na highblood ako bigla sa racist na kuya. I didnt expect that there will be someone like him in Laloma. I've lived there my entire 40+ yrs of my life. At maraming Chinoys. So me watching was like "did that just happen ? 😤"... anyway you handled it with grace. I'll continue supporting you! ❤

Kudos to you and your team for handling the situation extremely well. Honestly, some customers try to find ways for them to avoid paying. For example, my cousin used to work as a part-timer in a fast-food resto and one time, a customer complained that her food wasn’t the one she ordered so they need to give her the correct order AND reimburse her, even though she FINISHED her plate. I also used to work as a part-timer but in a different fast-food resto and almost the same thing happened with me- one lady complained that her food was “too salty” despite finishing her bowl. She wanted a completely different food, but we needed to reimburse her. Like???

I'm glad that Jessica and her team handled the situation fairly and even considered the perspective of the person. It's just sad that they had to experience that, buti nalang they remained positive amidst the situation. Go lang ng go Jessica, I always enjoy your content

its very big of you to not take advantage of the situation and just move on. You could've made this viral as a gotcha karen moment. You're really one of the most admirable social media influencers I follow.

May pa-apetite-apetite pa, tapos na pala syang kumain. Pwede na syang umalis na lang. hahahaha! Isa sya sa mga nakakahiyang klase ng pilipino. Pagpasensyahan na lang. 😊 Maraming nagmamahal sayong pinoy, Jessica! At isa ako dun. Fan ako ng PABORITO at TRABAHO series mo! We love you and your team, Jessica! ❤

JESSICA LEE IS A PROUD FILIPINO THAT IS WHY SHE HAS A JOB LIKE THIS AND PLUS SHE'S ADVERTISING/RECOMMENDING OUR COUNTRY

I admire Jessica for being so kind and professional! ❤️❤️❤️

Jessica finally encountered a local Karen, though it's a male one at this time. Probably some grifter wanting to get a little something from the resto or from you through intimidation tactics. Brinnging up a person's nationality in the issue is such a low-blow too. Imagine if other countries where our OFWs work gets treated like that too. I know Jessica is already aware that not all of us Pinoys are like that dude, but still can't help but feel disapointed at another fellow countrymate souring our image.

Sad to see those Filipinos who are not welcoming others naturally , wake up you need to have multicultural society to grow our humanity and also helps with the economy , @jessica keep on doing your great informative vlogs as helps overseas Filipinos like me wanting to go back home to enjoy the culture and food once again 😊

We're very sorry Jessica 😢 Marami kaming mga Pinoy na nagmamahal sayo 💜

I love you Jessica Lee, you have a great mindset when handling a situation like these

We love you here in the Philippines, Jessica! Sorry for our kababayan. You should visit Malabon next! We have a rich food culture here! See you soon!

Nakakatakam ang mga foods Lalo na ung Lechon. Grabe naglalaway na ako habang nanonood. Hahahah. Salamat ,Jessica Ginutom mo kami. Hehehehe Pero ung ending napaka KJ naman ni kuya Pilipino. Grabe sya

I also admire how Jessica handled the situation like a team captain trying to reassure her staff. I'm it was hurtful for her as well but salute for staying strong.

It melts my heart when everytime jessica says "diba" ❤❤❤

I've never witnessed anything like that happen, I can't believe how and where they were coming from to say that. Props to you and your team for keeping your graces even when they didn't

Dont mind that person, we apologize for his rude behavior. Do what you always do Ms. Jessica, and find the best food out there.

Hi Jessica, original la Loma girl here. Born and raised. I think I know where the 4th place was. It’s actually the Go-to OG food place in our area. Hope you comeback and try other food places here because there is definitely a whole lot more. Don’t get disheartened by the customer, who made a scene, most likely he probably don’t live in our area. Since it’s very popular nationwide, most people travel from different places just to visit that food place. Kudos for handling it professionally though. But don’t you worry, you and you’re team always welcome here. ❤

that kuya is just a few of feeling entitiled filipinos. Most of the Filipinos loves seeing people giving commendations and reactions to filipino food. I love how Ms Jessica handle the situation. Such a brave heart. You're truly a filipino by ❤❤❤

Respect for YOU ate Jessica 🙇🏻‍♀️👏, That was actually really rude I am a Filipino and yeah Sometimes you might experience those kind of scene werein, You already ask or your just eating peacefully but then someone will ruin it. And as you said its really better to Go than to waste your energy to them. I Salute you for that ate Jessica and your TEAM! Love your Paborito Series actually Im always waiting for it!❤

Do not mind that irrelevant rude person saying hurtful things to you and your crew just to please himself. Obviously he already finished his meal and after that said bad things to just make "epal" . But he's just one in a million that's like that. I love just how professionally you handled it. Loved your paborito series as always!! Makes me hungry and want to visit those places too!!

Hello Jessica. Your videos actually made me want to come back home to the Philippines after I left it back in 2002. Keep on doing what you’re doing and well done for being truthful, informing the minority bad side. You’ve done all the right thing. More power to you and your team.

When I share your vlogs to my friends I always say how very much Filipino you are. It's refreshing to see someone like you who love and appreciate Filipinos, and the country, when most Filipinos don't appreciate their own.

Thank you for including the last part. Not everything is perfect and not everything will be under our control. Some people can be so unreasonable. I don't understand where he was coming from, but calling out because Jessica is not Filipino is just disgusting. Pwede naman sabihin na ayaw nya. May nawalan pa ng appetite. Pero ayun nga, best to leave nalang. At the end of the day, kudos to all of you for keeping it professional. Please don't be discouraged. Not everyon is like that guy.

the audacity to say the nasira ang appetite nya after finishing his food grabeeee! I really am sorry for experiencing this Jessica! we appreciate u and ur team 🥰

Loved how Jessica and her team handled the situation ❤️👏 Lucky "kuya" and "manager" hindi nilabas ng team ni Jessica ang name ng restaurant nila dahil for sure baka mabash pa sila. After they asked for permission, sila pa yung naging sinungaling kasi 🥲 Hahaha Kudos to Jessica and her team! 👏🔥

Proud ako kay Ate Jessica kasi na I handle nya pati yung mga kasama nya na kahit ganun sinabi ni kuya mas pinili nya mag pa kumbaba Dat yung mga ganyang tao talaga na nag bubunganga hayaan nalang hehe 😅❤❤ Kahit saang bansa ka pa nanggaling pare parehas lang tayong mamayan kaya walang karapatan si kuya na magsabi parin ganun ahaytsss..

Stay safe always, Jessica and your team. Ingat nalang kayo palagi. Napaka Hardworking mo talaga kahit na may bad experiences ka while shooting your vlog. I hope you never get tired shooting your vlog Jessica, because you are the one who makes us happy. Love you and stay Healthy.😘💖💕💗

Ang pagiging Pilipino ay nasa Puso hindi lang dahil sa Dugo. Kilala pa naman tayo sa pagiging humble at hospitable sa ibang lahi, si kuya yung isa sa mga example na Pilipino na makitid pa ang utak. We should be thankful na pinopromote ni Jessica tong bansa natin ng libre, sabihin na natin na kumikita siya sa KZfaq pero ung mga staff niya is Pilipino/a. Korean Vlogger siya pero Pinas ang pinagmamalaki niya, eh ung iba ngang Filipino/a content creator eh pinagmamalaki pa yung tour nila sa ibang bansa ni hindi man lang makasilip sa sariling ganda ng Pilipinas eh. Haayyyy kaloka, sarap sapukin para makalog ang utak ng lalaking yan. 😤🤬😠 Dapat nagpa-refund ka ng lahat ng inorder mo.

Hello Jessica, thanks for doing this series, truly enjoy watching it a lot. Also sorry that you had to encounter that unpleasant situation. Im glad you and your team handled it well. That person is just so disrespectful, nakakahighblood. May mga ganun talagang tao and you're right don't waste your precious energy on them kasi deep down they know theyre wrong and naghahanap lang ng attention. Lots of people supports you and don't let toxic people let you down 😊

I just want to commend you for being such a lovely person and having such a beautiful heart. I am sorry that you had to go through that unpleasant experience with the last restaurant, but you guys handled it so well! This proves to show that if you're good, no matter how bad the situation is, you can still come out OK and even better because you learn.❤❤❤

Hi Jessica .Sorry if na experience mo yang ganyang ugali dito .. Salamat at napakaprofessional mo Jessica.. We love you Jessica .. Sana yung Paborito mo Jessica makaabot dito sa Davao City hehe Try to go Roxas Night Market in Davao Jessica . ♥️

Anywhere in the world, theres always an A-Hole around...you're bound to run into one....keep doing what youre doing Jess...we appreciate your appreciation of our Culture...nothing but love and respect here....thank you....saranghae....hwaiting!!

just watched this now since mina-marathon ko lahat ng video ni JL. for sure sa pares retiro to. hahaha ang daming alam ni kuyang appetite. nag iinarte pa eh dun din naman kumakaen sa madaming tao. kudos na hindi pinakita yung mukha, tatak sa professionalism ni Jessica, pero sana pinakita pa din para sumikat si kuya . sabay mag sosorry sasabihin ng nanay nya mabuting anak sya. at the end, I thought iiyak si Jessica pero ang ganda pa din ng smile nya.

We always love you Jessica and your teaaam!!!! Never mind those pesky ppl cause they just lacks attention, eka nga di kasi sila mahal ng mama nila 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Basta kami mahal ka namin Jessica and we're proud of you and your honest opiniooons ♥♥♥

Ang sarap itakwil ni "kuya wala appetite". Hindi na po sya pilipino😆😆😆. At ang galing din ni jessica at ng mga staff na ihandle ang sitwasyon. Kudos po sainyo.

This episode shows how professional Jessica and her team is. Great job on hanlding the situation and I do hope you won't experience such experience and discrimination again. Now this community have a meme/inside joke: "Nasira appetite ko eh" LMAO

I'm so sorry for that bad experience Jessica. You are such a great person who always brings great vibes. I don't think that guy is Filipino by heart. You are doing great and keep it up.

Who ever that guy was, just don’t let him get under you skin. He doesn’t represent Filipinos. He just represent himself and his self centered ideals. If you would ask me, you are actually helping the Filipino community out. Both people who wanted to try out new places to eat from, and the business who would get more customers because of your recommendations. It’s like free advertisement for their business. You and your team asked for permission before filming, so you did the right thing. Just know that there are more Filipinos who believes in you and your team, so just keep up the great work. Have fun in our country.

Ayaw nila mainsulto kapag nasa ibang bansa, pero kapwa mo pinoy ganyan ugali. Kennat!!!! Jessica kung andyan lang ako. Pero kuddos to the team talaga. We love you Jessica! ❤

We love you jessica❤❤❤ I've been watching your vlog always we even repeatedly watching some and this is the first tine I will leave a comment because of that guy! Napaka racist sarap sapakin. Kudos to you and to your team for handling the situation well. Just keep up what you're doing. We will support you! ❤

Ate Jess, halos natapos ko na lahat ng trabaho series mo ng isang upuan from 10 pm to almost 4 am. Dabest, keep it up and more trabaho episodes more to come.❤ Try public elementary school teacher for the day. ❤

You said it yourself kuya. "Public" yan so ano pinaglalaban mo dyan? And ano connect ng Pilipino ka sa appetite mo? Naubos mo na't lahat. But Jessica, you really did handle the situation well! Kudos to you and your team! Yes, don't waste your energy on those kind of people. Mema lang.

I feel disappointed as a filipino for that persons behavior but kudos to jessica and her team being humble as always and handle the situation very well. Pls go to batangas next from btg myself. I would love to recommend you to some good places here in my hometown.❤️

Boses pa lang naiimagine ko na itsura nung lalake eh. Nagigigil ako. Para kay Jessica at sa buong team, lagi kayong mag iingat please. Lagi namin na eenjoy ang videos nyo, lalo na sa effort nyo. Napaka galing nyo sa totoo lang. Sana nag eenjoy kayo lagi. Love you guys!!!!!

I feel sorry for you and the team. Please continue doing “paborito” cos we enjoyed watching you and trying different filipino foods. ❤ To the Kuya na “Nawala ang appetite” sa ganda ni Jessica ikaw pa nawalan! Kakahiya naman sa’yo! 😅 One day, you will get what you deserve. Makakahanap ka din ng katapat mo. Be kind everyone! ❤

Hi Jessica, I'm so proud of you. You are so nice and kind person, and so sweet too. The patience you had, pati ng mga kasama mo, di ko kaya yan especially kung ganon ang makakaharap kong tao. Walang modo, akala mo kung sino. Parepareho naman tayong tao, may ganun pa sya. Kahit ata mayaman at kilalang tao hindi basta maggaganyan. Napaka nya, kakagigil. Appetite his face hahaha....iloveyou Jessica! First time ko ata mag comment sa vlog mo, si ko napigilan inis ko dun sa tao.

Jessica!! Don't feel bad!! That's just one miserable person living a miserable life who wanted others to be miserable as well!! ❤ WE LOVE YOU!! ❤❤❤

Yeyyy. New episode ng Paborito series 🥰💖🥰💖🥰 Love it😍💙💗💙

Huge respect for you and your team’s professionalism. We’re sorry that you guys have to experience that. 😞

The thing is, Jessica consider herself as a Filipino. She often mentioned it on her videos. You know when she respects her root as a Korean and also loves her Filipino side. I love Jessica. And in every country there's always these kind of a-holes. He also sounded like trying to get a free food.

Jessica, majority of your pilipino fans and viewers want to say sorry to you...sorry dahil na discriminate ka ng isang maarteng lalaki... So please continue your episode and give inspiration to us... We love you and always be careful...😘😘

Why did I imagine Ping Ping added to Jessica’s dad’s nee hangout 😂 the dad vibes is strong in that place!

i felt so ironic about what happened to you guys, pero ganon talaga, we can't predict what situation coming for us, but how you act is very professionals and down to earth, Jessica chose to go away than having argument to someone else..i admire you Jessica♥️

PABORITO series idea: You should go to Malabon. Local food is really good

sa nakita mukha ni kuya ng makutusan. 😂 kidding aside.. love all of your paborito series.. hope you'll go to provinces like ilocos, bicol to enjoy their foods.. kung pwede lang everyday vlog mo jessica enjoy for sure.. Take xare. God bless.. ❤

KJ naman ni kuya, well always naman si Jessica professional and the team handled it well.

How Jessica handled the situation was really impressive.

Sarap maging boss ni jessica..kudos..

Hope you visit Cebu for paborito series 🙏🙏🙏

Don't mind that kind of people... Kulang lang Yan sa pagmamahal "emotional "God Bless na lng Kay kuya ... Remember We love you Jessica Lee❤❤❤❤❤

Jessica always has a positive approach. Kudos ate Jessica ❤

It happens all over the world. Japan same thing etc. I serve in the USA military for over 20 years same here. I was even treated the same thing there even though I was born and grew up there. They said I dont look like Pilipino. Keep doing it i enjoyed watching your videos. Your awesome.

I am so sorry that some of us are like that, but kudos to Jessica and the team for handling the situation professionally.

Yaaaaay there is a favorite! 👏🏽 As always she is professional and respectful as a blogger, cheers to Jessica!

Sorry for the ignorance of some people. I love when you said its a good experience and dont waste precious energy. ♥️👏❤️

Would be glad to hear someone promoting Filipino food through vlog. That racist guy is just too rude. Thank you for being considerate enough maam Jessica and team. More powers

The person who just complained just for the sake of complaining was also being racist. Felt bad for the restaurant as it lost an opportunity to promote its business.

mabait c jessica..pinoy at heart..continue lang Paborito❤

You're a good sport, Jessica, and I salute you for it. Kudos to you. ❤

It’s the second hand embarrassment for me. I feel sorry for the behavior of the man who complained losing his appetite after finishing his food, like 😭🤣 Thank you Jessica for promoting Philippines more than most of us hehehehe 😅❤ love your videos and please continue doing the things you love! I admire how positive you are and I love your content! ❤

Sana hindi ‘yon sa “sikat” na paresan 😢 because I really like that place. My family always go there whenever we’re in La Loma (and nearby🤐) area, Vice Ganda and other food vloggers feature that place naman na din before. I’m so sorry that you and your team had to experience that. If ever man that’s the place, the manager could’ve handled it better by asking you and your team to move at the second level na lang. Also, tapos na pala si kuya kumain! Bakit nag eeksena pa sya. 😂 maka gamit pa ng Filipino tayo ek ek. Filipinos are known for their hospitality and if ever na you feel like your privacy is being invaded, you can ask nicely naman. Privacy? Sa public place? 😅

I always wait for your "PABORITO Series" ❤❤

I grew there one of the street there in banawe,linaw st.its just behind you.causeway is delicious and fook Yuen restaurant it's near st.theresa's college it's a Chinese restaurant.and somewhere near there is retiro st.u can go to pares house they have the best pares there

Ate jessica malamang hindi yan filipino d marunong magkisama sa kapwa tao eh 😅 idadahilan pa na filipino sya iba lahi po nyan ate jessica d ganyan ang pinoy .Proud po ako sa inyo na kahit korean po kau pero may pusong ❤ pinoy po kau at gusto nyo po ipakilala ang food and culture ng mga pinoy sa buong mundo😊.Thank you po ❤ . Sana makapagtravel po kau sa north katulad ng La union,ilocos sur & norte para matikman niyo din po ang mga delicacies namin😊

Yeyy!! Another paborito series ♥️♥️

Omgggggg, I love these seriessss!!! 🤍🤍

Kung ako pa yun, manghihingi ako ng permission mo maam na makisabay sayo para mas effective ang peer review chars. Good job maam!

Kung sino man si kuya, baka he’s having a bad day then nabunton kayna Jessica. Although, mali talaga si kuya. This is not a common scenario in the Philippines, knowing na very welcoming and masayahin tayo. Kudos to the team and Jessica for having a positive attitude! Still looking forward for amazing videos 💛 Stay safe! 💛

Ping ping lechon is really the best in la loma

Sa tagal kong nanunuod ng mga vlogs mo parang di ko na naiisip na korean ka. Pinoy na talaga tingin ko sayo. WE LOVE YOU JESSICA ❤ Thank you sa mga videos mo. Nakakatuwa, hindi lang about kain pero may kasama na rin na history 😂✌🏻

That person is not a real Filipino because he is not being proud of being one. I admire your efforts in promoting everything about not just food but everything that is in the Philippines. I know that you lived here in the Philippines for a long time and know that you are a Filipino at heart. Just disregard that animal because of being not just rude but also a weak minded individual. In other words 'makitid ang pag iisip'. Keep up the good work.

So nice Jessica very understanding ❤️
