      This is the most in depth Vloggers’ Truths i’ve ever watched. You guys are on a whole different level. It’s like a stats report on everything you’ve done with a bit of commentary that’s really eye opening and really changing how we see vloggers like you two. Good job!

      The Philippines is a Top 3 s_x tourism destination in Asia. It's the main reason the overwhelming majority of foreign men retire in the country, and it's been widely studied by many international organizations that upwards of 60-70% of male tourists are s_x tourists. Those guys defend it by pointing the finger at those who come to the PHL for children, but then think it's fine for a 60-80 year old man to seek out 18-25 year old females.

      Just wnana say that I really love the honesty. Good or bad. Just do vlog your own. And I also love the bits you do every video, I think they are funny.

    5. Samiiie on

      26:46 This is legit and I hate these kinds of vloggers. I'm not gonna mention the foreign vlogger's names but they are from england. He went to Chowking, talked and interviewed the cashier, staffs everyone on the counter and then went straight inside the kitchen after, filmed and all. Imagine if that was a local,he'll probably get dragged out by security. 🤦‍♀️ And the other guy with him took the mic from the cashier and started beat boxing like wtf. 😂 I was subscribe to them before but yeah I think ego got big and they just do whatever they want now, and it's very annoying and disrespectful.

      your story re: douchebag guy made me laugh—sounds passive aggressive

      all decent people will be grossed out by sex tourism (yech). i wonder if the number of those who're into that equal the rest? they never get recommended to me, thank goodness

    12. Jayann on

      I love your Channel and one way I show my support is not skipping the ads ❤ Looking forward for more vlogs in the Philippines!

    16. Jam Lorenzana on

      Honestly, either YT has never fed me one of those sex hungry vloggers or i might have ignored it in the past that's why i've never seen one. What i've been seeing lately are vlogs about American and Asian women speak about "passport bros".😁

    17. Jam Lorenzana on

      You're almost considered "public figures" so if a viewer ask you if you have a gf, i don't think that's cosidered something bad or intrusion, at least here in the Philippines🙂

    19. k3use on

      The baiting truth is so true and Youtube algorithm just confirms it. I think a lot of people wants to watch their own country shown to them on a different perspective. I followed because your vlogs are more entertaining compared to other travel vloggers and it's cool you share honest opinions. Just keep doing your own thing, here's me waiting for more Thicc Boi Alert!

      lol that dude probably didn’t know the meaning of “douchebags” and saw it in a comedy movie to see if it really works 😆 i’ve heard a lot of people (including my cousin) who use english swear words the wrong way🤣 i’m not saying he didn’t know the meaning for sure but it seemed like the way you described him after he said it, he realized he fracked up😆”i guess i won’t say that to americans anymore, i almost got killed by the minnesota mafia”🤣

    22. Ariesgem V on

      Haha Sex Tourism! You said it best Trifate. It is disgusting for those filthy old men taking advantage of the poor little filipino girls. Smh. They are the ones that usually go to Thailand and Philippines merely for the women. (Passport Bros lol).
      I can tell from the energy of some vloggers who are genuinely in love with the PH and some who just checks off PH from their list of places to go or compare Thailand to PH.
      The only thing I disagree with you is because of your vlogs some of us do feel connected with you and feel that we know you. Yes, in reality we don’t, but we “feel” we do.

    23. JPNY on

      When I first watched one of your videos I have to admit that I just didn’t like it. But what grew on me was your goofiness and that you were not yet another passport bros. I don’t think I will ever visit the Philippines, mainly because I don’t enjoy heat and humidity and because the country banned Claire Danes because she dared to say something about Philippines that was not positive. But I subscribed to your channel and will be taking trips with you as an armchair traveler.

      Just enjoy doing what you love to do. There are always bashers or haters out there. For what reason only God Knows. I think your vlog is doing well. Keep it up. If you have time please come to Laos. I am from Benguet currently working in Laos. And i am sure you will love Laos. So much nature trips in here. You will not regret.

    26. Farah Tamkin on

      I thought at first you both have sarcastic humor but its just you expressing your mind & I find it funny nowadays. Be yourself & have fun 😊

    31. John Smith on

      It was good listening to you guys, you both are sensible people, I appreciate your honesty, and my respect for you guys has grown. My only criticism is that I would also have liked to hear Duvky's and Croc's thoughts on the whole vlogging thing.

    32. Bernce Acosta on

      I can't speak for everyone, but TBH, I like this kind of perspectives. Not everyday you see vloggers who speaks out the truth of this country (at least by their experiences), but i accept its flaws. Thank you.

    33. Yeye Estanislao on

      Isaac and Tyler, I enjoy your videos. Although I discovered your channel when I was back in Australia after visiting Manila in August last year. And by the time I’m visiting the Philippines in October I’m not sure you are still there. I miss the Philippines and the food and I’m living vicariously through you. All the best. And hi to Duck and the croc

    38. Joshua on

      Seriously, your attitudes towards vlogging is really amazing. I only come across vloggers like you once in a blue moon. With how you genuinely deliver your vlogs, it makes it so immersive that watching your videos makes me feel that I am there with you traveling, discovering and feeling these new places we never been.

      Even if you guys are not in the Philippines anymore, I will still watch your vlogs for sure!

      Though before you return to the US I dream to meet you in person in SM North ಥ╭╮ಥ…. Every time I am in that mall I would look at the crowd and hoping you guys are there, but yeah still no luck (〒﹏〒)
