THE PHILIPPINES IN THE EYES OF A TOURIST

Cody Mafatu Easterbrook or just Cody Mafatu is a traveler, blogger, actor, reporter and TV host who is based in Hawaii. He once visited the Philippines unluckily on a rainy season in 2011, but surprisingly was enjoying his stay in the country.

On the video he said that once he arrived in Manila there was flood so he could not get to his hotel. He met a Filipino guy who gave him a place to stay and even cooked him breakfast. And then this new Filipino friend became his tour guide.

He immersed himself in a marketplace and streets of Manila and repeatedly keeps on saying that Filipinos are friendly. He played with the children on the streets, eat street food, hangout with local people and got kissed by a lovely old woman.

While some tourists prefer tour buses, cars, or other typical transportation, he opted to try what the locals use in the area - a pedicab, a pedaled bicycle with a small sidecar that sits two people.

Filipinos are nice they say. But Cody was such a nice guest that his personality was reciprocated by a real true and warm Filipino hospitality.
