Why I Stopped Vlogging (LIFE UPDATE)

Just an explanation for where I went. Quick check in. :)

If you want to keep up with me, check me out on Twitter, Medium, or LinkedIn:

I always really appreciated your journey here and your honesty here. You're one of the real ones tom. I can resonate so much with literally everything you said and my thoughts are with you!

Wish you the best of luck, I'm leaving the PH soon and I'll be heading to Mexico as well! See you around man!

[PutingInaKo]

You were always one of the more genuine vloggers. I would like to make some sort of a commentary on this video with a few of my reflections about this. I have a few things to say in your honor as well as in honor of the reality, that among all the foreigners in the Philippines, I feel like there is only 3-5% of them who have a proper level of integration and cultural sensitivity whilst also really genuinely caring. And out of those 3-5% only a few of them are even ethical or deeply consider ethics.

I have deeply appreciated how you would open up discussions and how it led to me also feeling a little more courage to speak. I am glad to have seen you are well. I hope to hang out again, someday.

We're still grateful for making the Philippines a part of your journey, keep up the adventure wherever you may be, keep safe.

Keep doing videos. I love to watch it. Love from the Philippines 🇵🇭

Tom, I feel so bad that Filipinos made you delete your Facebook and Instagram. I can say that most Filipinos appreciated your love for the Philippines. It's a sad day. A majority of Filipinos loved your videos. It's too bad that a toxic few left a sour taste in your mouth. I hope you come back.

Hey Tom! I know this is long overdue but just the same, I want to say thank you for making contents about my country (Philippines) with honesty and transparency. It's sad that some of my countrymen doesn't know better. Your intentions are noble and well meant. It's just unfortunate that some Filipinos have this propensity of not wanting other people minding what they like and who they like. You're one of the rare vloggers that I look forward to watching along with Becoming Filipino, Finn Snow, Dwayne Wooley, Hungry Syrian Wanderer, Bisayang Hilaw and those others who really dwell in the most rural areas, learning the language, making a difference in people's lives. It's one of life's mysteries. You post about the danger of people exploiting Filipinos by pretending and acting through reaction videos (which is the most shallow of all contents) and you got persecuted over it. Anyways, I wish you all the best; Proud of the work you do and contrary to what you think, there are still Filipinos who support you. God bless!

You have made your decision(s), and that's that. New place; new chapter. The Philippines will always have its good and bad points - just like every single other country in the world. It was cool of you to drop by. May you have a nice life in good ol' Mexico!

[mizsaigon]

I always appreciated your authenticity and straightforwardness. I still wish to hear from you in the future. Take care Tom 😘

[MarkSantos]

Tom. Thanks for the good times, showing your life and perspective in life. It looks like youve moved on and grew up. Good luck on your future endeavours.

[marianvillanueva]

I'm so sorry to hear about the negative feedbacks you have received. I have subscribed to your channel because of your honest views about the Philippines and other creators doing clickbait about the country which are honestly bs and I thank you for being vocal about that because not all creators can even talk about it. Goodluck on your new journey!

[haochentrends]

Hello tom I miss you so much😢😢😢 love you so much from Philippines ❤❤❤❤

[freemary]

We understand whatever decision you make but just wanna let you know that we appreciate all the videos you made. Wish you all the best!

[joewelsunga]

[connces]

Haters gonna hate, we love you Tom. Youre one of my favorite vlogger. Thanks for everything ❤

[cplunajr]

Hey Tom. Thanks for the update. I didn’t really know until today. I am sorry that you have gone through a lot of abuse online. I’m a little bit behind of what’s going on. I wish you only the better part of your journey. Rai NYC
