During the covid pandemic (2 1/2 years) I was in a province in the Philippines. While there we built over 25 C.R's (toilets) and built and repaired many homes and distributed food and other essential items thanks to this youtube channel and the subscribers.

Drinking and singing on the sidewalk is a part of Filipino culture.. Dustin plays the guitar like a pro

Dude, you’re the most humble American vlogger I’ve seen in the Philippines. I’m impressed. You know how to blend in with the locals and knows how to live with them. They call it “pakikisama”, meaning you know how to jive in or blend in with locals. They will love you more and protect you. Stay cool. BTW I’m Filipino-American living here in Southern CA for over 30 years now. And used to live in these kind of neighborhood in Manila. Sometimes you thought the neighborhood is tough, but people are really friendly and always happy.

Dustin , that was a wonderful up beat video , very talented singers in the Philippines , your self included . Enjoyed it very much 😍

In Philippines, Karaoke is everywhere...people always happy and not worry what holds tomorrow as long as they can sing...

Hi Dustin, your such a down to earth person, i salute you.

Im a Pinoy bro.. you earned my sub. Enjoy my beloved PH. you have 7000+ islands to explore.. keep safe, mabuhay and Godbless!

this guy needs more subs. promoting....

Dustin it’s seems like everyone knows you.. You make cool videos and appreciate the provinces.. My wife is from Cebu and I always have great time every time we visit.. Amping lagi..

PH🇵🇭 has so many local musicians..Everywhere.

Only in the Philippines. You wouldn't find that in any other country.

Merry Christmas Dustin. Looks like you are now quite living like a local. It's only been two weeks since you arrived, and you already have made a lot of friends... Kids as well. It's a lifetime experience that you may not enjoy in the US for the same amount of time. Enjoy and God Bless!

That's what i love about Philippines you can hang out with locals. .. Here in US you can't even take videos in public. Have fun!

This vibes is what I miss most in my beloved Philippines.. :( nakaka homesick! 😢😢😢😢

To many pilipino watching this thank you for sharing this Dustin !

This is what I miss in the Philippines, its been almost 15 years now since I haven't visited my original home country 🇵🇭. Christmas here in the USA 🇺🇸 is nice too but boring and its like just an ordinary day actually. Stay safe Bro😷 nice to see the all the neighborhood there cheering, laughing & celebrating the spirit of Christmas season. Watching from Chicago, IL 🇺🇸 God bless you 😷🌞

Watching videos from different parts of the World makes me more thankful and appreciative for things like clean water and a public schools. I have to laugh when some call you Justin because I have a friend who happens to be Filipino that still pronounces my name wrong after years of knowing her. I've finally accepted and just let it go. Speaking of the Biebs he is going on tour! 😂 Looking forward to seeing your 2020 vidoes . Happy New Year!
