Hello po sa inyong lahat!

[Sam.pungdaliri]

Hi guys, my name's Sam, I'm 19 years old and from the city of Plymouth. I am half Filipino but I haven't really been in-touch with my culture as I was brought up in a purely British fashion (apart from being able to speak Tagalog and my mother's native dialect Bisaya).

So Last year I thought I'd pay a visit to my family in Davao city, ended up staying there for just over eight months and now I'm back in the UK. I've never really met any other Filipinos (half or pure) here in the UK except my mother so it would be really cool to make some new friends...

Thanks,

Sam

Hi Sam, welcome here.

You never met any other Pinoy? Are you kidding ??

[Sam.pungdaliri]

Thanks!

I'm serious, the Filipino thing kinda passed me by, I'm not too sure how! I remember there was one other Filipino back in high school but we were never close and lost contact I guess... But apart from that, I've only met other Filipinos in Dubai and the Philippines of course.

Davao is a great city sam,i was there for most of last year,surprised you havent seen any other pinoys in the UK apart from your mum :Erm: Welcome to the forum :)

[Sam.pungdaliri]

Yeah I love Davao, I lived there from when I was 4 until 11 but last year was the first time I had visited home in seven years. Where in Davao were you staying?

[Tawi2]

Where in Davao were you staying?
I have been visiting Davao for around 20 years,just before you were born :yikes::icon_lol: I normally split my time between Toril and Damosa :)

Ah nice! But Toril and Damosa? They're like complete opposite sides hahaha! I actually have family in both areas, but then they're kind of all over Davao hehe!

Can you speak any Tagalog or Bisaya after 20 years?

[Tawi2]

Yeah,toril and Damosa are at opposite ends of the city but from Damosa its straight up angliongto,turn left and go around the city on Diversion then onto Mcarthur Highway and your in Toril within 30 minutes at night,maybe 45 minutes daytime :) I have connections at both places :)

Yeah hopefully if I have the time or money! It's a small barangay called Indangan near Cabantian and Buhangin. You may have been there if you've been to Ranchos Palos Verdes. But generally I just stay in downtown, in Magallanes or Matina depending.
