BBC Documentary: Philippines – Beautiful People, Beautiful Country

-

The Philippines is a lot of things, but one thing is consistently true: Filipinos are inherently happy people and genuinely compassionate towards others! and believe me after living in China for five years, its been so refreshing to jump a plane and head here for my vacations and time outs. So when it was time to leave the working life of China the Philippines was the natural place for me to come and unwind and soak up the smiles

British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) proves this even more in a documentary released a month ago explaining the “Filipino factor” and what this beloved country of ours has to offer despite the “third-world country” tag.

“The Filipinos are incredibly generous people, always welcoming, always entertaining and happy to give up their time to the outsiders,” the documentary concludes.

Forget politics for a moment and give this BBC documentary a watch.
