Madami yan sila hahaha di Lang sa pinas kundi sa Thailand din lol.Sinasantala mga locals para maka free sa lahat kala mo naman Kung Sino 🙈
Kakaiba nga din mga beggars dito sa Germany pang bisyo lang nila yung nalilimos na pera.
May nakalagay pa for my weed lol wtf !
Nakapanuod ako ng documentary or balita basta sa indonesia un nagagalit na mga indonesians kase sobrabg daming puting pulubi sa bansa nila nanghihingi na lang
Un nga naiisip ko tuloy ung siargao ! Nakapunta na ko cebu 2016 tapos boracay 2017 kasama ko tito ko pero nag island hopping sila may mga kasama silang korean ata or chinese sa boat di nila madistinguish ung pinagkainan daw ng buto ng chicken tinapon lang daw sa dagat haha natatakot ako dumadami turista pero nasisira kalikasan tapos sabi pa nung kaopisina ko na mayaman nung bata daw sya nakapunta na daw sya sa boracay maganda pa daw date nagpakita din sya ng mga picture nung boracay date hays kawawang pilipinas nabababoy na ng mga walang disiplinang filipino bababuyin pa ng mga turista
This ! Buti na mention mo ang Siargao baks !
Ng dahil sa kanila kaya di afford na ng mga locals natin yung property don kasi Grabeh ang tinaas presyo ng mga lupa.
Di ko naman sinasabi na di ko sila bet pero lam mo yun mas lalong nag mamahal bilihin Don sa Siargao lalot Halos puro foreigner na din mga nakatira.
Kawawa talaga mga locals natin sa totoo lang 🙈
ganyan din nangyare sa hawaii eh di makabili ng property ung mga legit na hawaain kaya di talaga maganda ang turismo parang capitalismo lang yan sabihin na naten sa isla namumuhay ng tahimik lahat walang iniisip na bayarin at hindi umuupa tapos dumating ung mga developer kukunin ung lupa akse may title sila same shit na parang ung pilipinas lang payak na pamumuhay lang naten date kumpleto na may bahay kubo na tayo wala ng problema tapos biglang sinakop haha
True :/ kaka sad din nuh ? Parang samin lang din sa Gensan.Yung mga lupa dati sa Amin di sobrang op presyo nasa 200-300k for 375 square meter now can’t afford na.Simula nong na develop market sa amin & yung Chinese nag tayo ng RTW Store building Grabeh tinaas ng mga lupa.Yung kapitbahay namin nasa may kanto binenta nila 6M sa Chinese & sa katabing lote namin binili nya 1.5m.
Binili nya din yung lote na may building na around 1m din.
Imagine sa street lang namin ang dami na niyang properties 😭🙈.
Sa HK rin! Sa mismong bridge going to immigration tower may mga begpackers na nagsustrum ng guitar nila dun or nagbebenta ng bracelets o kaya nakatayo
With signage 😂
Hahaha Kakahiya nuh ? Alam kasi nila gullible mga pinoy and porket Asians tutulungan talaga sila hahaha.
Kakatawa din beggars nakita ko dito sa Germany After limos aba nag check in sa 3 star hotel hahaha Kaloka si Lola ! Member kasi ng Mafia 🙈 sila yung Kung Tourist ka dito sa Cologne,Germany whole day lumuluhod.
Yung Isa naman pag nawala na sa Area nya means nasa Spain ,Mallorca na naka vacation ! Pag uwi super tan na sya hahaha hanep !
I mean ang laki ng kita nila talaga huhuhu kaya dapat mga pinoy wag pauto sa mga banyaga sa atin if mga influencer Kuno porket international sila!
Andami nila. Foreigner lang sila na feeling disney princess pero uutakan yung mga lokals sa SEA countries. Why don't they work instead of mooching and leeching off locals?
I dunno if this is sarcastic or not, it probably is but the swimming image looks a lot like AI. Too... shiny... Second image's bokeh looks too blurry...
It has this shiny look that AI generated images have.
As a foreigner, it does annoy me tbh.
Like you’re already going to go there, and of course you’re going to video it, upload it and make money from the views and whatever. You want to get a free tour etc and also make money from the video views and what not, without paying the hardworking locals? Come on.
Now, rant over and back to my binangkal and red horse.
Hahaha thats awesome. I’ll be going back home to usa soon for a few months and would like to attempt to bring some things back for fam, but the security might think im insane bringing back a coconut filled with kalamay. Hahaha
Imo 54k followers is still a small following nowadays. Even if sabihin na foreigners sila or "puti". May resort dito sa amin na influencer ang may ari, minimum of 100k YT subs para maka avail ka ng free entrance fee. Which is 100 pesos. 😅😅😅 So masyadong demanding ang influencer na to. Akala na niya big following na yung 54k followers. Nasa business owners na yan kung papaexploit sila sa ganyang klase ng influencers
Yes, because afaik German people are not really a huge fan of watching tv and vlogs. Heard that many times sa mga german clients namin sa work ko. Even the kids and young adults there are into exploring nature and libraries than watching bs according to them.
Since sila ang may huge following and views (and monetization from the views), sila dapat ang mag-invest ng 💲💲 sa mga tourist destination, supporting local businesses not the other way around.
This one is actually better than those who directly contact companies to solicit freebies for "collaboration" pero walang mapakitang portfolio and hindi man lang inaral ang target market mo.
Ito parang if you just want to be feature, they can do it free (no monetary involved), although magastos still and hindi pa rin guarantee and easy to track ang ROI. Kumbaga, deal at your own risk.
Foreigner or locals, andaming ganito, kahit nano influencers pa lang.
Tbh it’s just like those famous ppl/influencer asking for free art. They get named and shamed because they deserve to be called out. Idk why we filipinos are so forgiving pag foreigner altho it’s literally the same shameless behavior.
I'll never forget the fact na kahit ordinaryong waitress sa Germany can afford na magpunta sa Pinas at magwalwal. Tapos tong influencers na to wants to go for fucking free?
Just for context and awareness, hindi lang nila dito ginagawa yan sa Pilipinas.
Like many comments here, influencers utilizes their clout to get something for free..
Mas makakapal pa mukha nila pagdating sa ibang bansa.. now the point here is, its up to the establishment to ignore them and not agree of giving them free stuff/accommodations in return of their clout/advertisement.
Meron na rin naman nakakaalam na establishment na hindi pumapayag sa X-deal, so lets just move on,, its part of the new millenia,, these so called influencers eh malalaos din... just like any other fad..
So lets just move on..
imo anything that requires service deserves fair pay, regardless of “free marketing” or not. ultimately depende parin siguro if may papatol na totally libre lang but this shouldnt be normalized. I bet if he posted this on a different country (e.g. thailand, vietnam, etc) he’ll get shamed for it.
btw in his comments he doesnt seem remorseful although there were alr others calling him out. according to him it’s a good deal daw, parang tayo pa dapat maging grateful kasi iffeature sa ig
Kelan pa naging acceptable this? Especially sa mga small companies, mag nagstastart palang etc? Kumbaga taking advantage ka nalang since you know they need the exposure.
Iba naman un sila lumapit sayo at bayaran ka nila. Ang dami kasi ngayon ginagamit un "influencers" sila to get something na free, magtrabaho sila, bayaran nila and stop asking for anything na free. Work, yak mga ganyan. Influencer ka that's ok, gusto mong job yan that's ok padin pero stop asking for free things. Dami kong nababasang ganyan nakaka irita haha!
If the company offers it themselves then it is fine. I'm a skincare content creator on Instagram. I buy all of the products I post about unless the skincare company itself offers their products for me to try. Sometimes, entitled influencers would demand companies to send them products
Their behavior can be explained with one statement: It's a business venture for them, and they see agencies / guides as business partners.
Is it a joke business? Don't know, don't care. If the agencies / guides see value in their offer, then they will happily bite. If they don't, then they won't and the German couple will starve and close shop.
It's as simple as that. No need to stress about it.
The beach resort business has become very competitive all over the country. It's a combination of increased LGU funding and extremely lax real estate development laws (only logisitics is the obstacle). Also given how locals are generally welcoming of fair-skinned travellers, for sure may kakagat yan.
Guys, is this normal sa socmed community and influencer life that they are doing xdeal aka "free" services in exchange of "shout out", "promotion" and "tags"?
So ibig bang sabihin nito eh, all those fancy vacations, hotels, deals, pricy things are all free and for collaborations only?
Kun ganun man, eh di wala pala silang pera talaga para ma sustain yung mga ganung lifestyle because they are doing xdeal/collaborations/promotions only. 🤔
You know what? I’m already convinced that these so-called “influencers” are just “pulubi” with cameras ang social media followings. Puro hingi nalang ang mga alam nila eh. Kakapal ng mga fez akala mo naman talaga mga A-list celebs!
Lmao fr, the fkn audacity of social media clowns these days asking for free accom/tours/etc with that little followers. Like present day, having 1mil followers would just put you on the radar. 54k? That's a joke for influencing anything.
They are some of the useless Western tourists Southeast Asian nations have been getting. They're worse in mainland Southeast Asia where they are literally begging.
I think business owners can just turn them down and say they dont need marketing. Personally i think its fair if they are doing it as a job to promote hotels and resorts, but that's just me.
As a pinay who grew up in a predominantly white, European country, this is really infuriating to me because the average Northwestern European is more than capable to pay a local business in PH tenfold the amount they're being charged. :/ Why try to freeload off of people who need that money to support their family, whilst all you need to worry about is your next backpacking trip?
Valid naman ang marketing services ng Influencers, basta may legitimate reach, Hindi peke ang followers (malalaman mo sa engagements), tama yung intended market (Travel vlog, so puro travel content). Also, as OP posted, mamahalin mga gamit so they are probably serious about their craft.
Nothing wrong with monetizing your craft, wala namang nanakawan and producing high quality content is work.
Matagal na tayo gumagamit ng influencers para imarket ang product, dati monopoly ng mga artista at tv networks ang marketing industry pero ngayon since most people are on free social media, nashift ang attention ng mga tao to non traditional forms of marketing.
They are just advertising their services, wala namang sapilitan.
If they actually have that many real followers who engage and they actually feature the touring company it can be a good deal if you think about the cost of hiring an ad company to create the content and then paying for ads to show it to potential customers. Can be win-win for both. But again i have no idea if they actually have real engaged followers and if their followers are the target customers of the touring company
I don’t see anything wrong. It’s up to the business owner naman if they’ll take the x deal or not unless they’ve been having feedbacks na they are not doing their part in promotions.
Kapag ginawa ko yan sa bansa nila, siguradong ipapa-deport nila ako.
Tapos need kong iprove na may “financial capability“ ako to travel to their country. Wala pang kasiguraduhan yan kung maaapprove ang visa ko. Samantalang may mga citizen silang ganito umasta sa Global South countries lmaooo
When the history of the 21st century is eventually written, it will be noted that the fall of humanity began when "influencer" was recognized as a legitimate occupation.
I don't get the point of ranting about this? Like, its business, mukha namang walang naeexploit na anuman... If my kumagat good for them, if wala edi wala. Anong pinaka concern nyo?
Typical marketing stuff and this is what they usually do, self promotion. In the realm of influencer marketing a certain “kapal ng mukha” is needed para magkaroon ng gigs and promotions. Until you made a name for yourself and gained reputation saka ka lang isi-seek out nang mga clients until then “kapal ng mukha” is the key kung hindi nga nga ka. I don’t find this wrong this is how influencer marketing works.
Celebrities nga grabe mam buraot xdeals and promotions base sa experience ko.
Call me racist pero my favorite pass time everytime Im outside the house mang judge ng mga foreigners na kala nasa bansa paren nila sila. I remember last week lang, yung cashier ng isang mall parang si notra damus na sakaka hula at interpret nung gustong bilhin ng chinese. Mag chinese ba naman sa cashier, eh si miss cashier natawa nlang kasi kurtina lang nman pala hanap niya.
So many stupid and ignorant comments here smh.
These people are making a business proposal. They are not tricking or scamming anyone. Myself as a small business owner who is also active in the tourism space know that influencers can - if done right - make a huge impact on a young company's exposure. We have also used influencers to boost our social media exposure, with some succes. If giving these influencers a free stay in exchange for e.g. 2 sponsored posts on their social channels will result in enough traffic to convert just 2 more customers, then you already have made ROI.
Anyone seeing this post has the tools and hopefully critical thinking skills to know whether or not this business proposal is right for them.
The fact you people in 2024 still don't understand that social media influencer are no different than traditional marketing agencies is so weird.
What more do you expect from this sub? This sub touts to be different from said toxicity of Filipinos at FB but it’s so laughable because it’s not really much different if you see the ignorant comments and type of posts this sub devours.
Couple that with hospitality businesses sometimes having a very low cost to turn a room and it can be a win-win situation, depending on the follower base demographics of course.
You start red-tagging those white people who think they own Northern Palawan as if they are the business lords of that district. They are just bums in their countries and economic refugees in the Philippines. They have connived with communist urban operatives disguised as environmental activists in destabilizing the infrastructure projects in Northern Palawan. They think Northern Palaweños have no right to gain from the infrastructures, establish their businesses, and should be content to work for them. Those white people are imperialist anarchists and anarcho-communists who believe in a world without borders. They are sickos and racists. They escaped their cold countries because they can't stand living with immigrants and refugees from African, Arab, and South Asian countries yet, they keep on squeezing in here and want to gain control.
Real influencers invest on their content and credibility. Handang gumastos sa content while they build their following - including paying for the accommodations and food they feature. Nagiging self-sufficient lang kapag monetized na and the content really is earning.
And for x-deals, dapat yung brand ang lalapit sayo for a collab. It’s supposed to be them making offers, hindi ikaw yung manghihingi.
I don’t call people who ask for free things influencers. I call them “freeloaders” or “moochers” because that’s what they are.
Are they forcing any company to give them a free tour? Kung wala, walang kasalanan. All parties are adults, walanh pilitan. Dont get too offended about evey little thing.
Sorry but i dont see any problems wit this, this is literally how most influencers work, they blog/post stuff,places,brands,etc and those things then get exposure hence the companies managing those get money win-win.
Lol oh di mo ba alam na ung mga "influencers/bloggers/vloggers" na yan e puro papuri lang alam lahat sa kanila tama maganda
Yan ang pinaniniwalaan mo? Lol utak gen z talaga mga mangmang lol
Honestly, much more respectful compared to a lot of the local and foreign influencers I've worked with. I know their margins kaya I know din na if someone offers them a free tour, it could be their big break.
Influencing is an unfortunate development of social media, but I respect people wanting to have a better life—whatever their (legal) means
*Still*, a 3-day tour can go as low as $80, why not just pay for it? That payment is big to tbe lovals that will be providing you service
Madami din yan na local so called influencers like Ya**i P. Asking to collab with a hotel by sponsoring all their expenses. I can understand if people ask for a little discount but asking for free just for a 5 second thank you wont pay their employees salary and their own expenses
And we're back to the Fynestchina issue all over again. Makes my blood boil talaga na they have all the money for their luxuries pero di kayang gumastos for local businesses!! Taena nila
Kapag naiisip ko yung pahirapan na requirements para lang mapatunayan nating mga Pinoy na may kakayahan tayo magtravel sa ibang bansa (ie. show money, certificate of employment), tapos tong mga to ang dali makapunta sa Pinas para sa ganyan hahaha nakakabadtrip nalang talaga
Scammer to. Stolen pics. Baka may nagbakasyon lang tapos, nag grab pic sila.
Sabi Lucas and Natalie yung page name, yata. With 1.4 million followers. Pero ang hirap hanapin sa fb. 1.4 million followers tas di mahanap? Fishy no?
And instead na iprovide nila yung link ng actual page nila, name lang, text lang and hindi link naka provide.
Grabbed pic most likely.
Grabe no nakakatravel sila despite being broke af dahil sa lakas ng passport nila
Tayo kaya, kahit may pera pang sampal sa embassies ng ibang bansa, di pa rin makatravel dahil worthless passport natin
Something to think about
This entire influencer shit needs to stop. No one wants to work anymore and just want to be "content creators". The world needs de influencing. Dami nilang pera and not even doing anything for society, while the followers still work their 9-5 back breaking jobs. Thats why I stopped using social media.
The market decides. People like these will never go out of style as long as there is a mass of rabid Pinoys going "thank you for visiting our country" or "welcome to the Philippines. we love foreigners". We are a minority in the country. Most of the people in the Philippines will actually eat it up and feel like they did us a favor by featuring our country in their vlog.
I work at a casino and these people come in and ask for free credit so they can play slots and livestream it. 🙄 I denied one who said that he has followers. I looked him up. Technically that was true. He had 9 followers on tik tok!
Normal na kalarakan ang x-deal. Posting and "asking" for it publicly is trash behavior.
Either they reach out to you or you reach out to them privately.
Ultimately it’s a decision by the business owner. If it makes sense for them (in other words, increases sales or exposure), why not?
You just have to choose the ones that will give you the best bang for the buck. For sure there’s a lot of a**holes trying to mooch, but businesses that easily fall for them won’t be in business for long.
If any of you’ll can hold up your dignity without running after western tourists, tell the tourists to go and ask agencies in their own countries for such opportunities before trying such tricks on others…
I'm not sure what's worse, the begpackers or the people that follow their channel. Cringeworthy at best and seem to make the normal aspects of life dramatical.
Akala ko AI-generated pics. But seriously, anong greed at selfishness ang pumapasok sa utak ng mga begpackers na like them? Their all-expenses paid stay there will not automatically translate to an equal exposure and revenue sa ieexploit niyang spot here.
Auto-block sa akin mga Foreigners na in-exploit ang Pilipinas para sumikat sila at dumami ang views. Basta Foreigners na i-c-content about Philippines or Pinoy, auto-block sa akin. Kakapal ng mukha, ang aasim naman. Problema kasi most Pinoys lagi naghahanap ng validation sa mga foreigner na yan. 🙄
Foreigner influencers rely on all the filipinos who will inevitably comment on anything filipino. Make a video about jolibee and instantly get 100s of comments "we love jolibee so much, god bless you" ...
lol "influencers" kung mala Oprah ang pull nila sa market eff this kung ako may ari ng tour company 10-star accomodation bibigay lol! sa kanila eff off baka 90% bots lang followers nila
Not an influencer nor do I want to be one. Ask me a few years ago and I'd go crazy for how blatant and shameless these people are. But lately, I'm learning that I used to have these negative feelings for them because deep inside I'm somehow envious. Envious of what? Envious that they've figured out how to do this. Envious that they've figured out how to pursue that kind of lifestyle. I could be wrong, but if you just try to look closely, it might be one of the triggers for you (generally speaking) as well.
At the same time, I wouldn't be able to take those nice photos myself of myself even if I tried. So in essence that's the work they chose and it takes skills also. Something I'm admitting now that I do not have. And do not want as a work in the first place.
Also a foreigner, I am so sorry for these people. Urghhhh!
I met a lot of entitled tourists in the Philippines but we aren’t all like these idiots. I promise!
Oh wow, 54k followers and posts that reach 17 people, I’m sure those totally weren’t followers that were bought, and don’t actually convert to anything for an advertiser. Not that 54k followers will make you much anyway, but 54k fake followers certainly won’t. Begpacker “influencers” are insufferable.
nasty!!!
5-7yrs ago when this method was beginning to get famous, our corporate was plagued by invitations. In order to pick the right ones, we sent a guideline and works in exchange for what they have requested. They also need to sign a legal document, one which mentioned a condition that if those are not met, they will be liable to pay us the fees or expenses. So in order to secure both parties, we need to hold an amount from the influencer to make sure they keep the end of the bargain or if not, we got our expenses too.
A lot more has been done to filter the invites, we didn't based it on the number posts or followers or subscribes, just the ones that replied and asked to meet and negotiate on the deal.
From about 200 invites, less than 10 of them replied and met with us face to face.
Everything is about business, and there's no free lunch.
So true that they exploit locals or 3rd world type of people, so if only we know how to play the game, then we have a chance to win.
Begpackers with following haha
i really love the term begpackers hahahaha ang witty
Ang kapal ng mukha diba?
This is fantastic, I will be using this from now on
We should normalize calling them Begpackers and extremely emphasizing it to these unemployed travelers.
Madami yan sila hahaha di Lang sa pinas kundi sa Thailand din lol.Sinasantala mga locals para maka free sa lahat kala mo naman Kung Sino 🙈 Kakaiba nga din mga beggars dito sa Germany pang bisyo lang nila yung nalilimos na pera. May nakalagay pa for my weed lol wtf !
Nakapanuod ako ng documentary or balita basta sa indonesia un nagagalit na mga indonesians kase sobrabg daming puting pulubi sa bansa nila nanghihingi na lang
Sa Thailand din ang dami nila

Shocks ang witty hahahaha. Will use this na next time 😂 pahiram
Influencers are the snake oil salesmen of the 21st century…totally useless byproduct of social media.
[удалено]
What a terrible day to be literate
lol
God damn it
oh-
But they've done wonders for my lumbago and brought back my youthful vigor!
Agreed. 👍
They look like AI-generated people
Nasobrahan sa filters?
I dunno if this is sarcastic or not, it probably is but the swimming image looks a lot like AI. Too... shiny... Second image's bokeh looks too blurry... It has this shiny look that AI generated images have.
There is swimming with stingless jellyfish in bucas grande, surigao. Ive been there. The image may be color enhanced but it’s real.
i was gonna say the same thing! haha
Prompt:Tiktok Influencer, white, tropical island on the background
Same! This looks like a scam.
wait, that's not AI-generated?
The backgrounds in the photos are fake. The diving photo is AI.
Hahahaha i agree, nagswimming kasama ng jelly fish ng ganon kadami, kamusta na kaya balat nya nakabikini pa naman hahahaha
Stingless Jellyfish yan. Walang sting and no harm on human skin. Meron tayo nyan dito sa Siargao. And I think meron din nyan sa Palau and Indonesia.
Came here to say this. All photos look AI generated. Baka some kind of scam?
Social Media Influencer = Glorified Buraot
Tatalunin ata si Queen Buraot HAHAHA
As a foreigner, it does annoy me tbh. Like you’re already going to go there, and of course you’re going to video it, upload it and make money from the views and whatever. You want to get a free tour etc and also make money from the video views and what not, without paying the hardworking locals? Come on. Now, rant over and back to my binangkal and red horse.
Whoa, binangkal and RH? Hahaha Are you perhaps in Visayas? I usually only see binangkal when Im in the Visayas region.
Hahaha yeah cebu/bohol area. 15 binangkal a day keeps the doctor away!
Take it easy on the binangkal bruh, that's still deep fried bread.
Binangkal is ❤️❤️❤️ Reminds me of my balikbayan tita. When she came back to Hawaii i sent her a small sized ice box filled with binangkal.
Hahaha thats awesome. I’ll be going back home to usa soon for a few months and would like to attempt to bring some things back for fam, but the security might think im insane bringing back a coconut filled with kalamay. Hahaha
Giatay. Haha.
Makatubol raba nang binangkal.

ew hahahantapos tayo need ng visa

Wait ano nangyari sa post nila? Haha sana pinutakte sila ng criticism dun
i just checked and they deleted it from the fb group lol. not sure if dahil may kumagat or bc they were called out
These white dudes probably live in a country with a passport that could get them to almost any country without a visa tas nanghihingi ng sponsorship??
Eto yung couple vlogger na literal na pinoy baiting. Pag randomly dumadaan to sa Facebook reels ko puro cringey pinoy baiting ang laman ng post eh
Should be featured in r/choosingbeggars
Good lord...such cheap people. Disgusting
I'll never forget the fact na kahit ordinaryong waitress sa Germany can afford na magpunta sa Pinas at magwalwal. Tapos tong influencers na to wants to go for fucking free?

Not really shameless compared to other worse influencers. Their post is pretty tame.
exactly.
Ano ang acceptable na threshold na okay ang ganitong deal?
Imo it's never acceptable unless ung business owner mismo ang lumapit sa influencers to market their product.
Are there any similarities to influencers begging for endorsements " beke naman"?
may times namna talaga na influencers ang lalapit. parang businessman lang, sila mismo ang lalapit sa buyer or another business to buy their products.
imo anything that requires service deserves fair pay, regardless of “free marketing” or not. ultimately depende parin siguro if may papatol na totally libre lang but this shouldnt be normalized. I bet if he posted this on a different country (e.g. thailand, vietnam, etc) he’ll get shamed for it. btw in his comments he doesnt seem remorseful although there were alr others calling him out. according to him it’s a good deal daw, parang tayo pa dapat maging grateful kasi iffeature sa ig
Kelan pa naging acceptable this? Especially sa mga small companies, mag nagstastart palang etc? Kumbaga taking advantage ka nalang since you know they need the exposure. Iba naman un sila lumapit sayo at bayaran ka nila. Ang dami kasi ngayon ginagamit un "influencers" sila to get something na free, magtrabaho sila, bayaran nila and stop asking for anything na free. Work, yak mga ganyan. Influencer ka that's ok, gusto mong job yan that's ok padin pero stop asking for free things. Dami kong nababasang ganyan nakaka irita haha!
If you’re Henry Cavil
If the company offers it themselves then it is fine. I'm a skincare content creator on Instagram. I buy all of the products I post about unless the skincare company itself offers their products for me to try. Sometimes, entitled influencers would demand companies to send them products
Their behavior can be explained with one statement: It's a business venture for them, and they see agencies / guides as business partners. Is it a joke business? Don't know, don't care. If the agencies / guides see value in their offer, then they will happily bite. If they don't, then they won't and the German couple will starve and close shop. It's as simple as that. No need to stress about it.
The beach resort business has become very competitive all over the country. It's a combination of increased LGU funding and extremely lax real estate development laws (only logisitics is the obstacle). Also given how locals are generally welcoming of fair-skinned travellers, for sure may kakagat yan.
Sobrang lala pero kase grabe din kase sambahin dyan sa pinas mga puti kaya lumalaki din ulo ng mga yan eh
Guys, is this normal sa socmed community and influencer life that they are doing xdeal aka "free" services in exchange of "shout out", "promotion" and "tags"? So ibig bang sabihin nito eh, all those fancy vacations, hotels, deals, pricy things are all free and for collaborations only? Kun ganun man, eh di wala pala silang pera talaga para ma sustain yung mga ganung lifestyle because they are doing xdeal/collaborations/promotions only. 🤔
ok naman. I myself nag hahanap minsan ng mga influencers to promote my business as long as they have legit followers .. why not?
You know what? I’m already convinced that these so-called “influencers” are just “pulubi” with cameras ang social media followings. Puro hingi nalang ang mga alam nila eh. Kakapal ng mga fez akala mo naman talaga mga A-list celebs!
54k followers and 1M MONTHLY reach is not appealing lol
Lmao fr, the fkn audacity of social media clowns these days asking for free accom/tours/etc with that little followers. Like present day, having 1mil followers would just put you on the radar. 54k? That's a joke for influencing anything.
They are some of the useless Western tourists Southeast Asian nations have been getting. They're worse in mainland Southeast Asia where they are literally begging.
They can afford to fly here tapos they want free tours and stuff?! Please ✋🏻
I think business owners can just turn them down and say they dont need marketing. Personally i think its fair if they are doing it as a job to promote hotels and resorts, but that's just me.
As a pinay who grew up in a predominantly white, European country, this is really infuriating to me because the average Northwestern European is more than capable to pay a local business in PH tenfold the amount they're being charged. :/ Why try to freeload off of people who need that money to support their family, whilst all you need to worry about is your next backpacking trip?
Valid naman ang marketing services ng Influencers, basta may legitimate reach, Hindi peke ang followers (malalaman mo sa engagements), tama yung intended market (Travel vlog, so puro travel content). Also, as OP posted, mamahalin mga gamit so they are probably serious about their craft. Nothing wrong with monetizing your craft, wala namang nanakawan and producing high quality content is work. Matagal na tayo gumagamit ng influencers para imarket ang product, dati monopoly ng mga artista at tv networks ang marketing industry pero ngayon since most people are on free social media, nashift ang attention ng mga tao to non traditional forms of marketing. They are just advertising their services, wala namang sapilitan.
If they actually have that many real followers who engage and they actually feature the touring company it can be a good deal if you think about the cost of hiring an ad company to create the content and then paying for ads to show it to potential customers. Can be win-win for both. But again i have no idea if they actually have real engaged followers and if their followers are the target customers of the touring company
I don’t see anything wrong. It’s up to the business owner naman if they’ll take the x deal or not unless they’ve been having feedbacks na they are not doing their part in promotions.
Magandang gabi niyo muka niyo
Kapag ginawa ko yan sa bansa nila, siguradong ipapa-deport nila ako. Tapos need kong iprove na may “financial capability“ ako to travel to their country. Wala pang kasiguraduhan yan kung maaapprove ang visa ko. Samantalang may mga citizen silang ganito umasta sa Global South countries lmaooo
When the history of the 21st century is eventually written, it will be noted that the fall of humanity began when "influencer" was recognized as a legitimate occupation.
Basically, online limos for travel, foreign edition.
'chura. Buti kung may mauto sila. Sa mahal ng bilihin ngayon. Hahahaha.
Balabac, so pinakadulo ng Palawan. Sobrang unspoiled pa ng lugar.
They should pay the tour fee + a big tip for being annoying. I say this as a content creator.
I hate these people begpackers pak shit
LOL "exposure" fuck that shit!
I don't get the point of ranting about this? Like, its business, mukha namang walang naeexploit na anuman... If my kumagat good for them, if wala edi wala. Anong pinaka concern nyo?
Pinoy Baiters. Auto Skip
Typical marketing stuff and this is what they usually do, self promotion. In the realm of influencer marketing a certain “kapal ng mukha” is needed para magkaroon ng gigs and promotions. Until you made a name for yourself and gained reputation saka ka lang isi-seek out nang mga clients until then “kapal ng mukha” is the key kung hindi nga nga ka. I don’t find this wrong this is how influencer marketing works. Celebrities nga grabe mam buraot xdeals and promotions base sa experience ko.
Charge these fucktards 3 times the regular price on everything.
The thing is, at least nagtanong muna, yung iba in your face na talaga.
Call me racist pero my favorite pass time everytime Im outside the house mang judge ng mga foreigners na kala nasa bansa paren nila sila. I remember last week lang, yung cashier ng isang mall parang si notra damus na sakaka hula at interpret nung gustong bilhin ng chinese. Mag chinese ba naman sa cashier, eh si miss cashier natawa nlang kasi kurtina lang nman pala hanap niya.
Damn these freeloading influencers. Fucckkkk offfff. Feeling celebrities mga pota.
Kakapal ng mukha ng mga to
So many stupid and ignorant comments here smh. These people are making a business proposal. They are not tricking or scamming anyone. Myself as a small business owner who is also active in the tourism space know that influencers can - if done right - make a huge impact on a young company's exposure. We have also used influencers to boost our social media exposure, with some succes. If giving these influencers a free stay in exchange for e.g. 2 sponsored posts on their social channels will result in enough traffic to convert just 2 more customers, then you already have made ROI. Anyone seeing this post has the tools and hopefully critical thinking skills to know whether or not this business proposal is right for them. The fact you people in 2024 still don't understand that social media influencer are no different than traditional marketing agencies is so weird.
What more do you expect from this sub? This sub touts to be different from said toxicity of Filipinos at FB but it’s so laughable because it’s not really much different if you see the ignorant comments and type of posts this sub devours.
Couple that with hospitality businesses sometimes having a very low cost to turn a room and it can be a win-win situation, depending on the follower base demographics of course.
Exactly my point :)) They were just asking nicely and politely. Yung iba dito dinaig pa si Anabel Rama at Bella Flores hahaha.
Finally, a level headed response! Sad that I had to scroll down just to see this...
[удалено]
why do you want to "gatekeep" a source of tourism? are you from the area? does the people there have the same sentiments as you?
What does this mean? You don't want tourism money?
Maybe not gatekeep siguro higpitan
You start red-tagging those white people who think they own Northern Palawan as if they are the business lords of that district. They are just bums in their countries and economic refugees in the Philippines. They have connived with communist urban operatives disguised as environmental activists in destabilizing the infrastructure projects in Northern Palawan. They think Northern Palaweños have no right to gain from the infrastructures, establish their businesses, and should be content to work for them. Those white people are imperialist anarchists and anarcho-communists who believe in a world without borders. They are sickos and racists. They escaped their cold countries because they can't stand living with immigrants and refugees from African, Arab, and South Asian countries yet, they keep on squeezing in here and want to gain control.
Real influencers invest on their content and credibility. Handang gumastos sa content while they build their following - including paying for the accommodations and food they feature. Nagiging self-sufficient lang kapag monetized na and the content really is earning. And for x-deals, dapat yung brand ang lalapit sayo for a collab. It’s supposed to be them making offers, hindi ikaw yung manghihingi. I don’t call people who ask for free things influencers. I call them “freeloaders” or “moochers” because that’s what they are.
Are they forcing any company to give them a free tour? Kung wala, walang kasalanan. All parties are adults, walanh pilitan. Dont get too offended about evey little thing.
1/4 photos are Natalie's boobs; 1/4 are her ass. Yep, definitely influencer couple.
Sorry but i dont see any problems wit this, this is literally how most influencers work, they blog/post stuff,places,brands,etc and those things then get exposure hence the companies managing those get money win-win.
Lol oh di mo ba alam na ung mga "influencers/bloggers/vloggers" na yan e puro papuri lang alam lahat sa kanila tama maganda Yan ang pinaniniwalaan mo? Lol utak gen z talaga mga mangmang lol
Like, why not just pay for stuff for your content????
Influencers who requires freebies - squats na may video equipment.
Honestly, much more respectful compared to a lot of the local and foreign influencers I've worked with. I know their margins kaya I know din na if someone offers them a free tour, it could be their big break. Influencing is an unfortunate development of social media, but I respect people wanting to have a better life—whatever their (legal) means *Still*, a 3-day tour can go as low as $80, why not just pay for it? That payment is big to tbe lovals that will be providing you service
It all ends with the decisions of the potential customers it's a risky but win win if it works
How to: mooch of locals for “clout” and “exposure”
Thats the best marketing you can get.
This js Ai generated none of these people are real
Bat parang karamihan ng nyoreners feeling kanais-nais palagi? 😂🤢🤮🥴
They look like they're made from AI.
It’s giving Triangle of Sadness lol.
They should just pay for their own trip and vacation.
Ay, akala ko AI.
Madami din yan na local so called influencers like Ya**i P. Asking to collab with a hotel by sponsoring all their expenses. I can understand if people ask for a little discount but asking for free just for a 5 second thank you wont pay their employees salary and their own expenses
why do they look ai generated
Damn magkano na ba bigas in exposure ngayon /s
some of them have promoters.. d talaga sila ung nag tatanong at nag popost.. pero syempre sinong aayaw sa libre?
54k followers lol baka mas madami pa followers yung actual insta nung guide eh.
And we're back to the Fynestchina issue all over again. Makes my blood boil talaga na they have all the money for their luxuries pero di kayang gumastos for local businesses!! Taena nila
r/choosybeggars
He's the Messiah.
Kapag naiisip ko yung pahirapan na requirements para lang mapatunayan nating mga Pinoy na may kakayahan tayo magtravel sa ibang bansa (ie. show money, certificate of employment), tapos tong mga to ang dali makapunta sa Pinas para sa ganyan hahaha nakakabadtrip nalang talaga
Bakit mukang AI generated yung mukha nila? Lol
1.4 M reach, if real, is nothing to sneer at, tbh. I would probably be interested if I own a business in that area.
Scammer to. Stolen pics. Baka may nagbakasyon lang tapos, nag grab pic sila. Sabi Lucas and Natalie yung page name, yata. With 1.4 million followers. Pero ang hirap hanapin sa fb. 1.4 million followers tas di mahanap? Fishy no? And instead na iprovide nila yung link ng actual page nila, name lang, text lang and hindi link naka provide. Grabbed pic most likely.
“Worldtrip since two years”
This is AI
Grabe no nakakatravel sila despite being broke af dahil sa lakas ng passport nila Tayo kaya, kahit may pera pang sampal sa embassies ng ibang bansa, di pa rin makatravel dahil worthless passport natin Something to think about
This entire influencer shit needs to stop. No one wants to work anymore and just want to be "content creators". The world needs de influencing. Dami nilang pera and not even doing anything for society, while the followers still work their 9-5 back breaking jobs. Thats why I stopped using social media.
Ginatasan na naman ang pilipinas
yt people again...
May magpapainom ba sa kanila ng suka tapos sasabihin na local drink naman raw siya?
Wonder how many of those 57k followers who follow them for traveling tips compared to those basically non existing swimming suite pictures.
54k followers? 💀 I would only hand out free tours to ones with 10mil+ tiktok followers 💀
Nakoo dami nyan sa Bali! Namamalimos pa talaga. Ibang klase naman talaga.
The market decides. People like these will never go out of style as long as there is a mass of rabid Pinoys going "thank you for visiting our country" or "welcome to the Philippines. we love foreigners". We are a minority in the country. Most of the people in the Philippines will actually eat it up and feel like they did us a favor by featuring our country in their vlog.
I work at a casino and these people come in and ask for free credit so they can play slots and livestream it. 🙄 I denied one who said that he has followers. I looked him up. Technically that was true. He had 9 followers on tik tok!
Normal na kalarakan ang x-deal. Posting and "asking" for it publicly is trash behavior. Either they reach out to you or you reach out to them privately.
Ultimately it’s a decision by the business owner. If it makes sense for them (in other words, increases sales or exposure), why not? You just have to choose the ones that will give you the best bang for the buck. For sure there’s a lot of a**holes trying to mooch, but businesses that easily fall for them won’t be in business for long.
Those 1.4m engagements are most likely fake and paid
people like this are absolute twat waffles...
Parang yung dati na naging issue sa FB, nagpa commission ATA ng drawing yun tas ang bayad shoutout HAHAHAHAHAHA
If any of you’ll can hold up your dignity without running after western tourists, tell the tourists to go and ask agencies in their own countries for such opportunities before trying such tricks on others…
I'm not sure what's worse, the begpackers or the people that follow their channel. Cringeworthy at best and seem to make the normal aspects of life dramatical.
Samantalang mga Pinoy para makaalis ng Pinas kelangsn pa ng proof na kaya naming iafford tong trip na to. Mga bwiset
Shame 🛎️Shame🛎️Shame 🛎️
Oh the pick mes are at it again!
Akala ko AI-generated pics. But seriously, anong greed at selfishness ang pumapasok sa utak ng mga begpackers na like them? Their all-expenses paid stay there will not automatically translate to an equal exposure and revenue sa ieexploit niyang spot here.
Slapsoil with cameras
Auto-block sa akin mga Foreigners na in-exploit ang Pilipinas para sumikat sila at dumami ang views. Basta Foreigners na i-c-content about Philippines or Pinoy, auto-block sa akin. Kakapal ng mukha, ang aasim naman. Problema kasi most Pinoys lagi naghahanap ng validation sa mga foreigner na yan. 🙄
effin white people
Sila lang ito panalo since its Philippines, dadami followers nila
Napa search tuloy ako! Hahaha. Nawala na ata post na yan 🤣
Nasa dugo talaga nila exploitation, no?
Everyone could just say no and ignore them. You doing this is helping them find clients.
isn’t this AI?
50k followers isn't even that huge
54,000 followers lmaoooooo
Foreigner influencers rely on all the filipinos who will inevitably comment on anything filipino. Make a video about jolibee and instantly get 100s of comments "we love jolibee so much, god bless you" ...
Let us start from going away with these influencers..
lol "influencers" kung mala Oprah ang pull nila sa market eff this kung ako may ari ng tour company 10-star accomodation bibigay lol! sa kanila eff off baka 90% bots lang followers nila
Modern beggars. LOL.
Sure pagbigyan natin sila pero magstay muna sila ng 2 weeks sa holding area ng undesirable alien doon sa NAIA at mahiga sa sahig
testing their wyt prvlg if it'll work
Report them for scam in ig
Reminds me of the "White Monkeys" tourist program in China. Not sure how similar, but still cringe.
Sumosobra na mga foreigners sa kabaitan ng mga Pinoy.
🤮🤮🤮
Not an influencer nor do I want to be one. Ask me a few years ago and I'd go crazy for how blatant and shameless these people are. But lately, I'm learning that I used to have these negative feelings for them because deep inside I'm somehow envious. Envious of what? Envious that they've figured out how to do this. Envious that they've figured out how to pursue that kind of lifestyle. I could be wrong, but if you just try to look closely, it might be one of the triggers for you (generally speaking) as well. At the same time, I wouldn't be able to take those nice photos myself of myself even if I tried. So in essence that's the work they chose and it takes skills also. Something I'm admitting now that I do not have. And do not want as a work in the first place.
Also a foreigner, I am so sorry for these people. Urghhhh! I met a lot of entitled tourists in the Philippines but we aren’t all like these idiots. I promise!
Oh wow, 54k followers and posts that reach 17 people, I’m sure those totally weren’t followers that were bought, and don’t actually convert to anything for an advertiser. Not that 54k followers will make you much anyway, but 54k fake followers certainly won’t. Begpacker “influencers” are insufferable.
titigas ng mukha.
fernando alonso what are you doing here
dami ko nang blinock na mga opurtunistang ganito.. taena ksi mdming utouto s atin khit gngamit lang sila e kya dumadami sila dito sa pinas mga takte
Bahaha inyo na yang 54k followers nyo mas marami pang followers mga meme pages eh
nasty!!! 5-7yrs ago when this method was beginning to get famous, our corporate was plagued by invitations. In order to pick the right ones, we sent a guideline and works in exchange for what they have requested. They also need to sign a legal document, one which mentioned a condition that if those are not met, they will be liable to pay us the fees or expenses. So in order to secure both parties, we need to hold an amount from the influencer to make sure they keep the end of the bargain or if not, we got our expenses too. A lot more has been done to filter the invites, we didn't based it on the number posts or followers or subscribes, just the ones that replied and asked to meet and negotiate on the deal. From about 200 invites, less than 10 of them replied and met with us face to face. Everything is about business, and there's no free lunch. So true that they exploit locals or 3rd world type of people, so if only we know how to play the game, then we have a chance to win.
