I hope all foreigners in our country will be as kind as you and is willing to embrace and respect our culture.

Oh my goodness you and Ann are super cute together!!! I so much enjoy watching the both of you being so cute with each other. Ann should be your co-star in the videos...I love watching you both!!!!!! 🤗🤣😂🥰🇵🇭 Admit it....you missed Ann 🤗🤣🥰

No luxurious car, no hotel,no bars, no malls.. This is true filipino living, simple living and no worries

Anyone else sensing a little connection there lol and that little girl is so darn cute just a cheek squeezer 🥰

You are definitely learning the ways of Filipinos, while your Filipina friend is laughing at you. Next thing you know, Pinoy at heart you will be.🎉

Anne is so admirable! She's so genuine and just does her thing without trying so hard to be likeable. I like how she was so gentle with her niece. I hope popularity won't corrupt her. It's such a delight to watch the 3 of you just enjoying your afternoon activity. The little girl is super adorable and let's not forget cute chowee who doses off every 5 mins. The chicken, the pig, and goat also contributed to this heartwarming content. What a good fix of dopamine. Thank you!

This lady from province has a personality which is very impressive and responsible the way she handles those things with so much authencity. Bravo! Keep your good spirit and being you is something most girls here really admired you.

The chemistry is undeniable. But if you're only friends, be happy you got each other

These are some of my favorite videos. The two of you spending time gathering your ingredients, preparing them and eating while you laugh together and enjoy life. This truly is what it means to live a life and feel alive. These are the times you will remember and reflect upon fondly 30 years from now.

Reminds of playing in the Philippines with so much freedom as a little kid. When I came to America as a young kid I was told a lot : you can’t climb trees anymore, you can’t throw rocks around, you can’t pee outside, you can’t pick the fruits off the trees, you can’t hunt the animals outside etc….so different. back in the days in the Philippines in the province we use to make lanterns out of empty coke bottles filled with gasoline and makeshift wick from worn out clothing. So when I came to America I would watch Disney movies and see kids in movies working in the summer selling lemonades and going house to house asking if owner needed help with their lawn to make some spending money. As a nine yr old, I had a great idea: I collected empty glass bottles, went to gas station filled them up and made a “lantern” out of them. My parents never mentioned anything about not been able to make lanterns. I went door to door trying to sell them and it did not turn out well, lots of scary looks. That was in San Jose CA in the mid 80s. I did not know any better back then and parents too busy working so no real supervision hahaha. Missing the Philippines from northern CA.

This is the best video yet. The fresh ingredients, makes me want to taste it, best part is Anna and her adorable little girl. I would marry her and leave the United States to live this life. Greatest video yet, salamat.

Her and your chemistry is too cute. More videos from with all 3 of you please.

Life in the Philippine Province is amazing, so relaxing and stress free away from the hustle and bussle in the city life.

Your videos always bring good vibes, Jonathan. It's a stress reliever. Thanks for loving the Philippines, you have no idea how much we appreciate it. Keep living the dream. Take care! 👊

The little girl is so caring and she makes me laugh! Your local friends make you experience what province life is like, and you're a good learner...Banana blossom/heart (puso sa saging) dish is just like ginataang nangka, labor intensive! Yet you seem to enjoy it!

I retired from the military after 25 years in the great U.S.A; and still longing for my childhood environment (where you're at) you my friend is blessed to experienced the province living; where you're at is a hidden gem, with all organic fruits and vegetables; including the air you breath is priceless; that lady you're with enjoy the companionship; very genuine and beautiful gal! All the best Jonathan! Keep the videos coming!

You two make a good team!🥰 Ann is so sweet!💕 I’m glad you were able to redeem yourself by climbing high up that coconut tree! 🌴

We can definitely see the mutual attraction to each other, might be a great catch!

Simple life in the Philippines give us a good vibe seeing you Jonathan. I can feel the happiness in your face having this countryside very exhalarating life. Keep it up bro so that you would feel how to become a Filipino and we're so proud and happy seeing you learning the way we used to. Kudos Jonathan 🇺🇲

I absolutely Love seeing videos of You 2 together (plus the little girl worried about Your Hair) ….So funny …..keeps me Smiling the Whole Time ! 😂😂

I see the little lady there is still absolutely adorable!!! I could enjoy watching this type video all day, especially if the little lady is in it. I really enjoy these type videos, it's nice you have some one that is teaching about their culture and you're enjoying learning about it.

It's so refreshing to see a guy who is genuinely just a good man to a woman and a child who are not related to him on KZfaq. Plus you're cooking a dish that is 100 percent humane to animals and much healthier too. I hope you make more fun memories in the Philippines.

Thank you for loving our country, respective our culture and people, and for shpwcasing some of the best the Philippines has to offer! God bless you, always!

These vlogs make me miss my wifes province in Pangasinan sooo much! We cant wait to get out of Australia away from the horrid West. I remember watching my wife & her sister slicing bamboo shoot so thin & talking in Ilokano, its so therapeutic to just sit back & drink empe lights & relax & watch. In late 30s it makes you feel 10 years younger instantly over there. I really think this Filipina really likes the way you are around her child (if it is hers) you are very respectful & kind mate.

That baby boholana girl is so cute and smart. 🥰🥰🥰

Banana blossoms with coconut is a very common dish in the Philippines especially in rural areas.

So vibrant, positive, joyful and happy! Both Ann and rhe little girl 😃 So charming personality. I wish more people in west was equally happy!

I found your channel because of the previous video with her and this is so awesome! Gathering your own ingredients from the land and stirring up a dish with it, what a way to live 😍 This woman is really wife material, so kind, knows how to work the land and she's beautiful 👌 I really live in the wrong country

A lot of women today only knows dancing in tiktok and even don't know how to do house chores, if you find this kind of fine lady - she's a keeper!

Very fun to watch! As a white-washed Filipino, it’s great to hear and see familiar mannerisms that I saw from my Filipino side of the family growing up and realizing it wasn’t just them, but their culture.

The cute little girl is just so fascinated with you Jonathan hahaha! Such a sweet scene at one point when she was gently wiping off dirt from your arms, and clinging onto you just like a scared li'l kid finding comfort with daddy. Generally admired your coolness and this video episode's content especially. I guess you were flabbergasted when the lady asked if you want that roaming chicken (to be cooked with the vegs) instead of the other meat lol!! I do think she was serious about it...only if you gave her the "green light" haha! I bet she can freshly "dress" a chicken ("dressed chicken") that looks just like those you buy at the grocery. Such a simple but beautiful person she is!

This video really makes me miss my Nanai's house near Urdanetta. The simple life is the best life. The stillness quiets your mind and thoughts to a point where you feel at peace with the world.

You seem like you’re enjoying your experience living a rural life there. Living here in the States, I can still remember and miss my life in the province in the Philippines when I was younger.

Best experience for sure Jonathan! 1st time saw an American climb coconut tree! Bravo! Epic experience . U 'll learn more how Pilipinos really life is!

Filipino watching from Washington State. Just came back from a month vacation in my home country and had a banana blossom like you guys just cooked but without pork. Glad you are enjoying your stay in the Philippines. Always good vibes. Take care Jonathan

You are so blessed to have an interaction like this. The mother is an awesome cook and the child is so friendly. I would love to meet them during my trip to the Philippines this winter.

you look good together.. like a family with a daughter super cute aya

I love the chemistry 🥰

Anne's place is so nice. Thank you for sharing your place to Jonathan and for the blogs. The little girl adds joy to my heart. This is relaxing to see for us living in the metro in the Philippines, too.

I would come back too . She is very beautiful and kid is adorable. You will make a good couple!

This is exactly what i would love to experience in the Philippines my envy is big :)

Aiya is smart, she speaks english and bisaya at such a young age.

Wow, good to see a foreigner appreciating the simple, good life in the province. I am a filipino semi retired engineer who has been living almost my entire life in the city where I was born and raised. Would u believe I yearn to spend my last few yrs in a farm like this? I like the simplicity, of everything, the food, the surrounding, the folks, the trees, all homegrown, practically free.

As always, I enjoy your videos. I especially enjoyed these 2 at Anne's, enjoying your time laughing, picking coconuts, cooking from the land and spending time outside in nature. Just loved it!! Enjoy your time with family back in the US!

You made it Jonathan! Am so proud of you. I grew up in the province but I cannot climb up even 3 steps because am scared. Your lady friend did a great job! I admired her and she is smart! The little girl is adorable. -Watching from Toronto and I am originally from Bohol! Hope to see you when I come home soon. Maybe, you can also explore on the farm during planting and harvest time.

Iya is so adorable. Her interactions with you are truly genuine. You and Anne are being good role models for her. Can't wait to see her future KZfaq channel. ❤

I thought this video was about to turn when the chicken was considered as part of dinner. That tree that Anne climbed was no joke, glad no one got hurt. I was so happy to see the thumbnail that you went back for a visit. Hope you can go back every couple of months for more cooking shows :)

I am always waiting for your new vlog. Because I enjoyed watching them... Thank you and more power 🎉 God bless you always 🙏 Wowww ! You amazed me Jonathan , you can climbed that very high coconut 🥥🥥 tree ... So amazing 👌

Awesome videos. You will not find such kind, hospitable and respectful people than Filipino people. It's truly a great place to live with friendly people Keep cranking out thos great videos

It’s always fun watching your vlogs, the best life is the simple life and you can do that living in the province. As a Filipino we are proud that there are foreigners who enjoy living in our country just like you 😊👍

Absolutely love watching ya'll cook. Ann you rock.!!

This video makes me happy. I miss the province life in the Philippines.

I love all your videos! They bring so much good memories and good vibes and energy, thank you so much to bring the Philippines to me 🙂🙂🙂 I experienced what you are experiencing and it’s amazing and life changing! Thank you Jonathan

Your distractedness shows that you are observing your environment and giving time to it as part of your experience. It's great. Just finished the video and wow you guys are so sweet together. Very natural connection. Lovely.

Jonathan you’re good influence with those kids around you because they are learning how to speak English and at the same time you are learning more Bisayan as well WTG that’s pretty cool 😎

Its nice to live in the province, very challenging life but happy and good a lot of fresh vegetables and fruits with out money comes out from pocket..a healthy food..your daughter is so cool and helpful 😁

52 minute video.. wow... 20 minutes to cook And 25 minutes being distracted 😂😂😂😂 Enjoying this vid on a rainy day here in the Phils.. 🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️

Good food and good chemistry with a new friend! Excellent video thank you!

I don't like to push people into life decisions, but this young lady right here is a keeper. Hope it works out for you two.

It’s different from the one you had from the carinderia coz that was made for selling at a low price, thats why no pork or shrimp. What she prepared you was a special homecooked banana blossoms in coconut milk as the main ingredient and she threw in available veggies and protein that could go well with it.

Great videos. Very authentic and much appreciated. Thanks to both and the cute little niece. 😊

Nice to see you back. Great video

Fil-am from Los Angeles, CA here. Always looking forward to your uploads. Hope you had a good trip back in the states. Would love to hear if you experienced any "Reverse Culture Shock" coming back to the states after so long. I just came back to the states from 5 weeks in the Visayas (Northern Samar) and I definitely did.

The simple life in the Philippines. Awesome can’t wait.

Always excited to see a new video post.

Omg! You guys are awesome to watch life in the province...

You guys are so cute and having fun together while cooking hahaha Love love love it so much Jon👍🏻

Johnathan you are an amazing vlogger! You do everything to learn the Filipino way of doing things. You can't experience experience that in Manila. I have great respect to your Filipina host and teacher. She is amazing and lots of guts.😮😊😊❤❤❤

A delicious home-cooked meal from the land; great that the Filipinas love to share their meals..,.

You always have smile on your face unlike before 😄. It seems that your outlook in life change. You always look happy, not stress, very positive! Good vibes always! 👍🏼❤️

Stephany these vids are great to learn about you and Jessel as well 😊 and going down to umm taste the ocean is a must and a huge turn on 😉

Nice video ! Great chemistry between you and her !

She is so down to earth. Her place reminds of when I visited my latino aunts and uncles in the countryside as a child in the summers. Thats exactly how they did it. Live off the land. And string beans are good 4 u, sir!

It's a Filipino dish. It's her own version. That's how we usually cook banana heart/ blossom😊

This is very heart warming to me....i am planning to go and this makes me very excited to come!

Looks like you have a little fan there... happy & smart kid!

Love your human interest perspective vs all other vloggers. Great job Johnathan

Nami-miss ko ang buhay sa isang bulubunduking parte ng bayan sa Cebu. Simple at stress free halos lahat at malapit ka sa Inang Kalikasan: magagandang tanawin, sariwang hangin, magandang ugali ng mga tao, at iba pa... Sana makabalik ako duon at sana di nagbabago, di sumasabay sa mga pagbabagong umiiral sa mundo... 😪😪😪

This video is just perfect, with the setting and the child that adds to your beautiful video, i have seen this several times but I always enjoy.

This was a super happy video and was a great reminder of what im working towards over the next 3 years. Many thanks my friend 👍👍

I love Travel Escapes! Funny, authentic, pure! ☺

Hi Jonathan, great video of your cooking experiment with your friend. Congratulations on climbing that Coconut Tree. That last step seems really far and they should make another one in between to make it easier.

This is such a nice video! Been watching it It's really nice this is how we live in the province living a simple life is amazing ❤

I am impressed and I am following you now! Just so much authenticity in your vlogs. I am a Filipino working from abroad and seeing videos like these surely put smiles onto us having to leave our most treasured home. Provincial life is the best and it’s awesome that you’ve tried to climb one of those coconut trees. Not all can do it even locals so kudos. Also, I see a beautiful chemistry between you and that nice and fun lady there. Keep making more videos and we will watch out! 🤙🏼👍🏼🙂

I think you and Ann like each other ❤
