The Philippines were claimed in the name of Spain in 1521 by Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese explorer sailing for Spain, who named the islands after King Philip II of Spain. They were then called Las Felipinas.

If the coconut tree is duwarf it would be nice to plant that in your own front yard it will add more beauty to your house plus you let some dig it deeper and wider so it can grow nicely and plant it away from the any electrical wiring and not to close to the fence

Seems like the coconut was planted too close to the lamppost. The grown tree will cover the light. Move it while it has not settled yet.

GM Mj. 8:02 am in NY. Happy Independence Day🇵🇭. Great flag symbolism. Your outfit is very cute and looks comfortable. Happy birthday to Razzle’s mum 🎁🎉🎈🎊🎂❤️🙏🏼. WOW. So someone has to sit and turn the lechon for hours. At least his device had a wheel to turn. Glad everyone enjoyed the food and party. Congrats to Razzle on her promotion to manager. Didn’t realize Razzle lived so close to you. Mums smile 😊🥹when you have her the take a way plate. Papa is a good camera man. Nothing like fresh baked bread 🥖 🍞 with 🧈 & 🧀. Congrats on papa getting the PWD discount. Grateful to your friend that assisted in the process. 🙏🏼. Thanks for sharing. See you tomorrow 🤗

Happy Independence Day 🇵🇭 And happy 70th birthday to Razel's mother. Razel, Grizel and Jeanette look like triplets with the same big smiles. And MJ, look up videos of cooking banana bread(your fave) in a rice cooker since you have no oven. Other bread can be made this way too apparently. And congratulations to Papa for finally getting his PWD card.

Try Using An Air Fryer Oven Or Convection Oven, Neither Of Which Takes Up Much Space And The Newer Models Are Easy To Clean. I Would Just Go Online And Research Which One You Would Prefer And You Would Like Best To Use 😊❤

I think Razel is beautiful even without make-up. MJ, I envy your lifestyle because you are surrounded by beautiful mountains ⛰️, lush surroundings and loving family. It's something we had to lose by choosing to lived abroad.

Hi MJ I've heard from your previous video that you are not showering in the morning because of cold water.Please install solar geyser because you have a lot of Sun in Philippines.

Since u don’t have the space for big stove, get the toaster oven for the top of the counter. You can bake or air fry anything including pizza.

Yes you can use the PWD card too in air transport. But not all airlines honor it I don’t know why. I know it’s like senior card honor in all kinds of transportation air,land and water.

Happy Independence Day! I think Coconut should be planted 12 inches (31 cm) deep to allow for the roots to grow properly and away from electricity wiring from above dahil sa high winds.

I love village life and wished I lived there too! BTW you can bake on stovetop using a dutch oven..

Those nipple bread or what you called Francis bread taste well with butter and better still with avocado pear or if you want you can add slice cheese and ham/ turkey/ chicken.

Here in Nigeria 🇳🇬, June 12 is our democracy day. What a coincidence.

My daughter inlaw is a filipina and this is her birthday.

Delightful education that u us in the beginning. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!🎊🎉🎂🎊🎉 Razzle's Mom!!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🧡💛💕💜🤎

Happy Independence Philippines. You make a good teacher. Happy 70 Birthdays Razel's mom, near your house. Philippines was colonized by Spain, United Kingdom, United States and Japan, respectively.

A flag upside down means a Nation is in Distress. In war time the flag flies high always, the right way up. haha

Happy Birthday,Razzel's mom🎉🎉🎉

Great to see Razel’s new house, MJ. I remember how devastating the fire that ravaged her former home. I didn’t realize how gorgeous the views from there are: stunning, panoramic, 360-degree, unobstructed mountainscape! Please show us more of it, like her gardens. Thank you! ❤

Happy Independence Day🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭❤❤❤

❤MJ. They sell bread machines that bake wonderful breads of all kinds even banana bread . You just put all ingredients in it and it mixes and bakes but the best part is its very afordable . God Bless 🙏💙🫂👣👣👣👣👣

I would like to get to know Razzel please could you give me a way of talking to her, please

Do most people in the country side eat with their fingers?

♥️♥️♥️🙏❤️🎂🎉🎉🎉🎉

Filipino word came from King Philip II (King Felipe in Spanish, Philippines from Philip, Filipinas in Spanish), son of Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and Isabella of Portugal. Filipinos have royal inheritance.

Just watch youtube, savor easy bakingvlog easier to follow the instruction, ofmaking breads, after you buy an oven... its better fresh bread the aroma...

Just wondering no mention of Robbie for a while ?

Mj who were the first inhabitants of the Philippines? Before the colonization? Just curious 😊

Razel really likes you cant help but notice I think something might be going on ?

MJ you should say the soil is very fertile, not fat. There’s no fat in the soil either you say fertile or rich soil n it’s very good for planting.

Coconut tree not there,remove it Mj😮

This isnt aimed at you MJ, but is aimed at all schools everywhere, that Ferdinand Magellan didnt discover the Phillipines. People had already discovered and migreated to the area long before the Spanish existed as a people. Just like Columbus did nto discover the Americas. Asians migrated to the Americas long before Spain or Portugal existed. Second, Spain created the Phillipines. I think this is often mistaught in schools too in that peopel act like PH was already a country. Spain, after Ferdinand was dead, came back and conquered part of the PH and declared it the Philippines. So suddenly one day, 100+ ethnic groups, none of which were called Filipino, suddenly because Filipino beacase Spain said so. I often wonder how the PH would have eveolved if Spain had not arrived. Maybe it would be 3 or 4 countries or maybe it would even be a part of Malaysia. Who knows. I dont fault you for being proud to be Filipino. Just want the audience to know the correct history. Third, unfortuantely the American era of the PH is also not taught well in school. The US bought the PH from Spain and then put down the PH independence movement and even conquered more territory to expand the PH to it’s current size. It was smaller when ruled by Spain. Unfortunaely the brutality of the American occupation is not taught in school in the US and it is veiewed as a “beneficient” period (very colonial mindset) of how we freed the PH from Spain (overlooking we then crushed the local govt too) and then ‘brought the PH freedom and liberty’. So as an American I have mixed feelings about how my country treated the PH. But overall I think we helped more than hurt the PH. So, happy independence PH!

You should get a bread machine or a toaster oven.

Ur land is big but i notice theres no fruits or others trees..u should have plant many fruits and sell it like mangoes, avocados its extra income

Miss Mj yong kahoy na patay sa harapan ng iyong sister mo ay tanggalin niyo na lang kasi hindi maganda yan ang kasabihan aa amin sabi ko lang pero kayo parin ang nasusunod

Is razzel family or simply a friend?

Have you ever tried Lapapa style Megelian on rice

10:29,ok I love eating pork but not when it looks like this 😅

Honestly, I really feel very, very sorry for the pig - too long exposure in this vlog! 😢😢😢 Not a lechon fan here!

Woa poor pig ! 😢

Yummy big

Just put ur comments, this is not an english class for u to correct , nothing to do with the tenses, just watch the vlog okay nobody is perfect when it comes to english...........blahblahbla

Why the Filipinos don't speak spanish?

Ironic....celebrating independence from Spain....but keeping Spanish names.....can anyone see the hypocrisy?..lol

Stop using "being" when its already in the past. Just say "philippines was colonized for 330 years". Use only "being" when its an on-going action. If its past tense then dont use it.
