A few decades ago, I was "that guy" in the Philippines.
I didn't think I was being rude, but I had "the attitude."
I didn't realize it until I saw a woman's reflection in the window, making fun of me behind my back.
It humbled me.

I’m experiencing the hospitality and feel humbled by the fact that I am currently here, on Camiguian Island. I got to experience 5 modes of transportation today… a jeepney, bus, trike, ferry and scooter! How lucky am I! Enjoying a wonderful time with a lovely and kind Filipina and I couldn’t as for more. About to set out to the Ardent Hot Springs and enjoy a lazy afternoon. Soaking in the abundance of humility and deepest of gratitude for finding your channel a long while back! You’ve helped me take the leap! Peace ☮️

Great Advice but from childhood I was told that being humble and respectful, kindhearted are great qualities, you can get your point across without the need to be rude or mean. In my experience, guys who do these terrible things were always like that, deep down they were always rude and disrespectful. Coming to live in someone else’s country is a courtesy and you’re a ambassador and you represents the country you come from, be a kind and noble person and it will get you far, you don’t have to be a asshole to protect yourself, you can be assertive and be soft spoken as well. Thanks for another great video 😁😁

Some guys when they get here, the dopamine kicks in and they think that they are invincible

More great advice from Reekay, one of the humble and wise ones. Proverbs 18:12 - Before adownfall the heart is haughty, but humility comes before honor. As Always, May God Bless you and yours!

[ManOfAdventure]

Reekay, youre the first vlogger I started watching about the PH during covid. Your advice is like that of an older brother. Thank you. I hope to be more permanently in SEA in the near future. Hope to bump into you one day 🙏

[CB-bpfl]

WELL SAID Brother :) CHILL OUT Guys!!!

Pride comes before a fall. This is what caused Lucifer to lose his position in heaven. Be kind and humble to people or God will judge. Great video!

[christopherolsen]

Very Greatful having the opportunity and being able to retire early, being a Guest in the Philippines it's so true being humble here and Building relationships with the local people and expats alike making new friends having the right attitude is everything

[jeffjohnston]

How many people whos watched this would stand up for a Philippines person who was getting treated badly Id like to know.

[Steve-nusv]

"Don't let it go to your head and become an a$$hole" sound and sensible advice that applies anywhere you go not just the Philippines or South East Asia.
No matter where you go you are a guest in another country and act accordingly.
As for age gap relationships. Personally I wouldn't feel that comfortable in one but that doesn't entitle me to be critical of others.
If they are adults not being coerced or exploited then it's nobody's business but theirs.

[Chidoeg]

Great vid. Do unto others as you want them to do unto you.

[allanf]

If they are a jackass in the Phils, they were already one back home.

[amigok]

I'm shocked that people act like that over there

[paulgATX]

That's so true, be humble and appreciate those that help make your day pleasant. By the way where is that beach, it's amazing.

[enriquesoul]

Fantastic insight and advice Sir Reekay. Your sense of fairness and ability to speak wisdom from experience resonate with me.

Hope we get to meet up and have some good BBQ someday. With fresh buko juice.

[bullfighter]

Im coming to Philippines next week for a few weeks l, maybe we can meetup Reekay! Would be great to shake your hand

[samuelaragon]

I'm no better or worse than anyone else treat people the way you like to be treated
