I love when you ask “where you from ?” … and they say “here”

Filipinos are friendly because we are 'open'. Privacy is not a big deal with us. We have nothing to hide.

Cebu is one of coolest place on earth😊 people are so nice and friendly.. smile😁

I love Cebu City. So many good memories during Sinulog festival. I’ve watched the country’s biggest and grandest festival for 8 years! Cheers fr Manila.

Great video! Honest, spontaneous, and down-to-earth. I'm glad you seem to be having a great time in the Philippines. It's quite easy to understand and appreciate the delicious diversity of Philippine cuisine. This archipelago nation is composed of 7,641 islands each with a unique geography, topography, and cultural diversity. Technically, it will take you around 21 years to visit each island if you were to spend a day in each of them. The country is divided into 3 geographical regions: Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao among which the 81 provinces are spread and where as many as 187 languages are spoken depending on which classification system one uses. Tagalog, also known as Filipino the national language, is widely spoken by almost everyone so you're better off learning it as opposed to other dialects or languages. As you may have seen by now, the Philippines is a geographically breathtaking country. But I'm guessing that the one treasure you will have found heartwarming and wonderfully unique is its warm, friendly, and family-centered people.

Thanks for praising the beauty of the country! Enjoy the pristine beaches of the south but dont forget to come to the Northern Philippines.It has more magic surroundings that you can enjoy! Filipinos loves you now.

Thank you, for showing me my country of birth. Even though I’m living in Australia and grew up her Le for over 33 years ago. I have been back there 9 times my last visit was 2014 for family funeral. So I didn’t get to see a lot only did one island boat tours and Kawasan falls. But watching your videos is making me homesick missing home so much. Thanks for sharing. I can’t wait to visit there and come home soon ❤

Thanks for visiting here in the Philippines 🇵🇭

Oh Cebu street foods, missing them so much. Definitely tastier and a lot of fun to eat. Great food vlogs today bud.👍🌞🇵🇭

ADMIN Jonathan! I subscribed to your channel because of this video . I am a Filipina living in North Carolina . I’m also from Cebu City , Philippines 🇵🇭…. Watching this video made me miss those foods and it’s fun to eat with a friend or friends …. The “ Camote Que “ they are talking about it is called here “ sweet potatoe” fried in a caramelize sugar . Tempura is just like fish ball but oval shape instead of ball shape the sauce is what’s make it more delicious 😋… The Park across the Night Market where you eat your meals it is called “ Fuente Osmena Park” ( if I’m not wrong ) I heard a lot has changed in the City … I have not visited Philippines in 9 years . So miss my country a lot like the beach , sea foods and fruits ….. “Balik-Balik” ( in Cebu ) mean Come back again … Tagalog and English are the most common languages Filipinos speaks but they have 100 dialects … Like Cebu - speaks Cebuano or Visaya. We have Cities down in Mindanao and Luzon area that speaks Spanish because of Ferdinand Magellan a Portuguese Explorer who influenced the Spanish language, that’s why our words are mix of Spanish . Like number counts and furnitures . Thank you for sharing your experience in The Philippines 🇵🇭 … Always take extra care .

Camotecue/kamotecue (the first thing you ate in this video) is a combination of words: camote/kamote (sweet potato) and cue - think barbecue, only that it's not meat and instead of savory, it's sweet because of the caramelized sugar. Other popular (and similar) street food is bananacue. Sisig is very popular and often paired with beer - it's traditionally fried parts of the pig's face served in a sizzling plate, but from what I heard in your video the stall offered seafood sisig too.

Cebu is my hometown. ❤ Have a great time in Cebu!

Last month I was there! Cebu is my hometown. Greetings from Alabama. ❤❤❤

Wow, what an interesting food market in Cebu City. It is always interesting hearing and seeing your interactions with the local people. With all the different Dialects it must be difficult for the local people to communicate and understand each other.

I've been watching your videos as a subscriber I know you've been wanting to come to the Philippines I've got the feeling you'll meet the most beautiful Filipina there because that's your destiny mark my words!

Road to 50K!!!! Show some love Cebu!!!

I love watching travel vlog who really emerge and interact with locals without any fear or hesitation. Kudos to you!

There are so many languages in the Philippines. So if you want to learn one, it should be Tagalog since Tagalog is understood all over the country from Luzon to Mindanao. That's indeed a very nice night market in Cebu. I have also seen a night market in Davao City. When you visit Davao someday, don't forget to visit their night market too.

Great vid and good choice with the sisig! Also, fun fact since you seem really interested with our language hehe... "Filipino" (along with English) is the official language in the Philippines and was standardized and derived from other dialects primarily the Tagalog dialect. Languages are used broadly while dialects are more particular to a certain (ethnic) group and often regional in use. We have hundreds of dialects here in the Philippines, and Tagalog and Hiligaynon are just few examples of them. :)) I hope you enjoy your stay in the Philippines!

Jonathan you were able to assimilate very quickly 😍enjoy your stay and be safe , Filipino’s are super friendly and non judgmental so join in and just have fun watching from the US.

Two things there is never a shortage of in Cebu. Great food and beautiful people! Enjoy life as it should be my friend. Thanks for the video.

The guy near the kamote cue is very friendly. The way he speaks reminds me of my dad. My dad is from Cebu City.

I used to work there before on “Tokyo Street 123” it’s a Japanese food stool!.. their Yakisoba a stir fried noodle and a Ramen is amazing it’s all my favorite also the Gyoza it’s very delicious 🤤 thanks for this content mate glad to see this store is still there love it

I'm from cebu and I'm currently living in Oklahoma city, you should visit sa the floating Cottage balamban, talisay. Have fun in our beloved country and enjoy your stay ❤️ God bless

Thank you for showcasing that place bro. We were there in June and July of this year and we absolutely loved it. The food was great, the weather cooperated, and there were just enough people to sit anywhere you want to consume your food. It was an awesome experience.

I missed my province Cebu, i studied in Don Bosco high later in University of San Carlos graduated as BS mechanical engg, got my work and skills exp by projects in 6 Middle east countries and 6 Asian countries in oil and gas, power plant, on shore, off shore projects. I missed my parents and my hometown Malabuyoc, Cebu my relatives and my friends there, now im here in Davao City with my family. God bless.

In Philippine English, "barbecue" is meat on a stick, so anything served on skewers is given a "cue" ending: banana cue, kamote cue, etc.

Jonathan i would like to tell. Pinoys are one of the most happy people. No matter what dissasters occured in heir life, they managed to laùghed comfortably.

Wanna say thank you..your video made my day. I used to roam around in that area(Fuente Osmena)when I was still in Philippines. Hope to be able to have a vacation soon (Philippines is my Home country)

I love my place Cebu thanks for featuring it i miss my place and my country🤗

Camote que (like bbq), is a sweet potato deep fried with sugar glaze. Can be found in some streets in the Philippines.

As a filipino who cant travel a lot. I appreciate this vlog very much. Thank you sir

I L❤️VE this vlog coz you're here in Cebu City. That ride up there in Regency Hotel was damaged by last year's strong typhoon Odette where the central Cebu and even Moalboal was heavily damaged by that super strong typhoon. Thank you for visiting and enjoying our beautiful Cebu.🥰

Great video Jonathan and super helpful. My wife, daughter and son-in-law are here now and this video led us to this night market. Thank you for the tip!

thats cool so many streetfoods enjoy your food trip

The kamoteque is a LOCAL SWEET POTATO, IF YOU FRY IT AND PUT A CARAMELIZED SUGAR, THE TASTE WILL BE LIKE A REGULAR POTATO BUT A LITTLE starchy

daghang salamat sa karatulang CLAYGO. lahat NG mga Tao diyan ay may disiplina.nakapunta na ako diyan .very clean tu ok and NG Ayala center. Malinis talaga diyan da IT PARK. Congratulations sugbo mercado and IT park management.very proud of you all.

Now am hungry😂🤣just watching ur vlog!!!those street foods are delicious!

im so much enjoy your blog here in philippines sir...welcome to the philippines and enjoy

My husband and I are staying in Cebu and went to these markets last night. We had a great time. We are from Perth Western Australia.

I fell in love with the oxtail kare kare I found in some market place, I never had anything like it. With the shrimp paste!

Sisig is on the list i gave you before Jonathan. It was invented in Pampanga (north of Manila) by Aling Lucing. Pork Sisig uses chopped pig face. The late Anthony Bourdain raved about Sisig when he came here for his 'No Reservations' show. :) Next time, try Banana-Q (instead of Camote-Q). It's more popular. The girl you talked to was pretty Jonathan. 😉😉😁

Philippines is divided into 3 big island. Luzon is tagalog region, Visayas is Bisayan region and Mindanao is southern Bisayas where our Muslim brothers can be seen. But we have 7,600 plus islands and Islets.

You should go to Avenire Condos. There is a bar and grill at the roof top with a view of the city. I highly recommend it!

Salamat sir.. I am missing there... You are closer to my sweet home.. Am still here in Riyadh Saudi Arabia.. Hopefully next year ill be there. 🙏🙏🙏

I’m quite pleased that gopro is picking up even in low light.

Hey Jon, I'm really enjoying ur Video, the way you interact with the locals😊

I love watching your videos. I don’t dare to skip ads 😀😀👍👍🙏🙏🙏

bro please stay in the philippines . you are so polite to the people there and you really are an amazing human being. hope to see more videos from you on your stay there.

I feel you, man. The same thing happened to me. It was about two weeks ago. It seems to be under maintenance indefinitely 😂

Sisig. (The pork dish). Portuguese egg TART. 😂. The first fried camote is fried sweet potato. Banana q = fried banana. Usually a snack.

14:51 kinda funny because I always go for ramen too whenever I go to a new place and find one. It's so hard to choose though because I like pizzas and pastas too. By the way, congrats on your channel growth. I can see significant increase in your followers and views. You're finally getting the boost you deserve. Continue spreading good vibes.

Thanks for sharing your nice video

I yes absolutely true.. Filipinos are friendly and accomodating

I was watching your episode about coming back from the USA! Filipinos are really very welcoming and accommodating especially from other countries. They love to sing, chat and learn new things!! I love your vlog on the way locals interact with you. You make them confident and happy. Carry on, please. Thank you.

Have a great stay in the PHILIPPINES❤️ Move success and love lots😘❤️

The best sisig (pig's face w ears, or maskara in tagalog). would be from the original in Pampanga. A place to go to would be the road less travelled would be be the island of Mindanao, very much underrated. Always ingat on your adventures.

Wow, Kuya oh froendly...ha...ha....selling technique....and hospitable....ha...ha...

I'm an American, been to the Ph. only a few times. Your pronunciations of Filipino words the funniest part of your videos.

I miss eating that Filipino food it's been a while 🤤

This vid Males me laugh all the time 😂😂😂 that young visayan guy is so welcoming and Entertaining ❤

so much delicious food there, love that it is so lively too!!

Those are pig's ears (sisig). There's actually a lemonade stall inside. Cool place -- it could get louder inside than the usual but the food is great.

Well done big guy!

Nice,im going back to Cebu in january we will have to goto this market for dinner thank you for the content.

I miss eating the street foods in Cebu especially the fishballs and kikiam.

I just returned to the states this morning. My parents live in the skyscraper condo next to that Edge Coaster you were planning to go to. It is still out of service as of 2/27/2024. The maintenance on that particular building is slowly going down hill. The blue top pedestrian bridge at minute 5:47 (Fuentes Osmena) was removed last week. I know because the deconstruction jackhammering kept me up all night! Peace.

Wow the Night market is so cool.. I lawas Went to the one in My home City Cagayan de Oro City.. but ive heard our City Mayor close it since i don’t anymore.. i didn’t visit My Home country for 5 years already.. I miss Philippines so much!

I have fun watching your videos. I watch them everyday

It’s sad that u were not able to try the edge coaster and sky walk. But it’s nice too seeing you in one of my favorite place to visit in cebu That food market. I think people called it LARSIAN

This is a great Video. The food looks delicious!! 😍😍-from Oregon!

Wow ur amazing im glad u reach at that place

Love your 🇵🇭 vlogs ❣️👍🏼☺️

"lechon, sisig, and adobo"..those are three of Pinoy's all time favorites..if by any chance you'll visit north and central luzon, don't forget to try sinigang and papaitan tagalog..

I'm glad you can say 'salamat" correctly now. Keep up the good job

So relieved you picked sisig, Praised by the late Anthony Bourdain as one of the best in the world.

Enjoy watching your vlog. Thank you for loving our Country, People Culture. Watching from Canad

Enjoy and have fun

Its like a massive crush of eastern asian foods and western fried foods. The sisig bowl is easily a favorite. Theres also alot hotter versions you can get depending on province you're in

Sisig is the best,.!!,.glad you've tried it.😁

Sugbowa has "Tuslob buwa". It's a pig brain sauce that you dip "hanging rice" on. Might be why there's a line. That dish is quite popular here in Cebu.

What’s the best time of year to enjoy Cebu? Cool beaches?

You love Sisig too! Tha became my husband's favorite too! He really loves it!

you can never go wrong with pork sisig! great decision...

Very Cool... Awesome video.. Thanks so much...

Camote que) is basically a sweet potato that cooked with melted brown sugar and the (banana que) is a variety of banana and cooked also with melted brown sugar...

The edge coaster could be on maintenance bec of the typhoon that hit Cebu last December do check back again in the coming months it should be open already.
