BIGLA
As someone who experienced losing a dog, it hurts so much. And seeing it again, broke my heart for the nth time. Spike has been one of the greatest memories Ongfam has shared to us and I will keep Spike in my heart as if I was also his owner. Welcome to the vlog of Ongfam entitled “Bigla”. For me, this has always been the saddest video they had and find out why. The continuation is up on their vlog entitled “SPIKE”.
Spike was just one the many dogs Ongfam have but he is also one of the oldest, which means more memories have been made with him. Truth to be told, Spike saw Jadon grow up. Sadly, Spike had been sick which caused him his life. Everytime I watch this video, I always tear up because I have known this dog’s role in their lives and personally, I see Spike as their family, a very brave and smart dog, indeed.
This video may come as an unusual video of Ongfam but the mere lesson I got here is being attentive to our loved ones and not missing a chance to make memories with them. Seeing Ongfam’s grief, the only thing I am sure of is that there was no regret in them because they knew that they treat Spike with utmost care that they can give and that they were able to let Spike experience a bunch of memories. And that should be our goal in life: no regrets to those we lose. As the previous vlog of them has said, the only thing that will remain to us are those memories that we can keep forever.
KALMA
For me, the real definition of a simple life is a calm life and ofcourse, got that from Ongfam. Let us find out what calm life is for Ongfam in their video “KALMA”.
Calm life is equivalent to a simple life, and that is what Ongfam has always wanted. For them, spending their mornings with their families talking about things that are deep and even simple is one good definition of a good life. In other words, spending time with your family is the real definition of living. People nowadays value the worth of money so much, and I couldn't agree more, knowing its worth. However, as I have watched this video, they did not have to spend lots of money to be this happy. Eating Lucky Me in the morning, spending their time through simple talks, playing volleyball and badminton, taking a bath in a lake, eating in a leaf, and ending the day with a bonfire. Doing such things would not cost us a lot, and that is the beauty of simplicity that could give us a calm life.
And, of course, the day would not end without the teachings of Tito Geo where he says that with all the things that we want and aiming to do, let’s just do them because at the end of the day, the only thing that will remain to us are those memories that we can keep forever. The greatest treasure indeed that we could have are the memories we built spending those time with different people that although some may not be with us anymore, they hold a special place in our hearts and treasuring them even if they are not present anymore is solely because of the memories that are kept in us. In a world full of hatred, be the memory that will make you forgive. Treasure them and make lots of them.
LIPAT
Ever wondered why life seems unfair to us? As if in every happy situation, there will be an exchange of sadness or pain? These thoughts have been lingering in my mind almost every day since I’ve been aware of my surroundings. But then, here comes the family who taught me to appreciate life more while withstanding those thoughts. Welcome to Day 6 of my journey as a fan of OngFam! For today, this vlog is entitled "Lipat".
First of all, the vlog was called Lipat because the family had to change their chosen spot because of the man who suddenly appeared where they were situated. There is no judgment involved, but the man seems to be not in his proper self, which is why they had to go. And this family was able to teach us that lesson—the importance of being RTG or ready to go at all times when they are traveling. Even before they started vlogging, one of their strict practices to be followed was that their things must always be properly organized so that if there is a sudden call of surroundings where they have to go, they can immediately be out of that dangerous or risky situation, just like what happened here. In the real world, wherever we are, this is actually a must, knowing how dangerous the world can be, whether it be naturally or man-made.
Another thing is that this vlog captured my Filipino heart once again when Mafe Ong received a fish from someone within the area where they are staying. This is actually one of the common practices Filipinos have: their kind and hospitable hearts, where we treat strangers as family. This may contradict the first paragraph, but actually, being kind to others is also based on one’s judgment. The thing is, not everyone can be your friend. Even with that fact, such action is still exceptional, and we just hope that the world will always be that kind.
Last but definitely not least, my favorite part of every vlog Ongfam has is the part where Tito Geo shares a lesson for each and every one of us that is applicable to everyone, from children up to adults. And that take for the day is the quotation written below. Personally, my take on this is just like what I have written from the very start of this blog, where most of the time, I questioned everything I had and referred to those that were not aligned with what I wanted as "unfair". But, truth be told, just like what Tito Geo is saying, there may be times where things do not go our way, but remember that good things still come, and giving up should not be an option because if you stop trying when you receive an unfortunate happening, nothing will happen anymore because you already gave up. For me, that lesson is just beautiful.
Ongfam, once again, never disappoints. #ongfam #agith #life #adventure #palawan
TUMBA
Another day, another slay with OngFam! Welcome to the vlog entitled “Tumba”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaF94-NiNkg
Eyy! Main lesson here: always take precautionary measures. Just like Kamangga said “Kahit ga’no tayo ka-kampante, mag ingat.” Most of the time, when we are doing something that we think we can handle, we give it our all with utmost confidence. Little did we know, no matter how confident we are in a situation, there will always be unexpected happenings that might cause us harm. With that, Ongfam brought us again to a realization that in everything we do, we should be careful, in any circumstances. This may entail not just physical aspect but also our life decisions and more.
Another lesson taught by Tito Geo is how every relationship should work. As per him, “kapag mag asawa, pag uusapan niyo parehas gusto niyong mangyari sa buhay niyo. Kapag di kayo nagkasundo, don magsisimula ang away at doon maghihiwalay. Mas madaling tawaging partnership ang marriage kapag iisa ang goal.” Considering the continuously growing failed marriage here in the Philippines, this is a rare gem because truth to be told, broken marriage is more normalized in this country rather than marriage that faces decades of being together. This may come as a sad reality but Tito Geo hit another spot, making me inspired of what I should do in the future :)).
Finally, as you can see below, this is the definition of simple life, at least for me. Dreaming about this kind of life made me realize that simple life is about being capable of buying things, without worrying of financial need, but at the same time, you chose to not live a lavish life where you will spend tons of money for a simple meal. Someone may not agree with this, but that is how I want to define a simple life. Now, my goal is to aim for the lifestyle this family have, full of adventure and simplicity.

LALIM
Day 4
Cheers to another day of being with OngFam!
This vlog, entitled, “Lalim”, can be described as a typical vlog of them where they are just travelling and enjoying the beauty of Palawan. But, for me, as a fan of this family for a long time, I’ve got to appreciate the details their video holds, particularly the lessons it has, not just to me, but to everyone. From the outside perspective, they have been highlighting the beauty of Palawan. However, in a deeper sense, you will see how they are showcasing the nature of the Filipino and how we, as we live in the era where everything is adapted from different nations, the vlog shows the practices of a true Filipino which we should nurture. Just like the newest tagline of the Department of Tourism - LOVE THE PHILIPPINES.
Such practices includes Jeremiah doing the “pagmamando”. You guys may argue that “it’s not even a common or a special practice that a Filipino has”. Actually, it wasn’t. But then, the special thing about this is that Tito Geo made sure that even with the wealth they have, all of his sons would not live a life that is in accordance with their status. Do we really think that every Filipino, particularly those who are well-off, do know the practices Jeremiah Ong knows? Not everyone, because it is not common. But because Tito Geo experienced a life of poverty, he let those experiences shape him to also shape the mindset and practices of his family. This just shows that experience is indeed the best teacher.
My other favorite thing here is how they are taking care of Domeng. Now, we all know that he is adopted. But this family did not let Domeng feel that way because they show how they care for him in every manner they can. And I am telling this because there is a scene here when Domeng always feels nauseous whenever he is in the car. And how they handled it did not even show that Domeng is a burden to their trip because of that. In short, they are treating him like how he should be treated. And that is the best thing about it, whereas this can serve as a reminder to our fellow individuals who also adopt, TREAT THEM AS YOUR FAMILY BECAUSE THEY ARE.

HANDA
Welcome to Day 3, kamag-anak! Today’s blog is about the birthday of Jadon Ong (also known as DongDong/Astig). Tito Geo uploaded this vlog on February 28, 2022, entitled “Handa”. You might have an idea now of what this vlog is all about ^^ (well, you’re right!). This vlog is the celebration of Jadon’s 2nd birthday and his family surprised him with an inflatable pool in their home (due to pandemic).
In this vlog, you guys can see how much this family loves Jadon and how Jadon, despite being only 2 years old, was able to appreciate the effort his family did for him. DongDong is very sweet and very appreciative. You can see how intelligent he is when it comes to his actions and choice of words. That only shows how great this family is in Jadon's growth.
The best part for me is the timestamp of 11:49 where Astig wants to kiss everyone, which made him very adorable. Dongdong, indeed, is very lucky to have a family like OngFam who are all full of efforts, caring, and very loving. As I always say, Geo Ong’s vlog never fails to bring me joy and inspired me to do better in life, together with how to be grateful.
I hope I get to inspire you as well to be part of us. Ongfam, be one of us! All good in the hood, Kamag-anak!

BAON
Here comes day 2! After watching “Dayo”, I became a fan and subscribed to them immediately. And this video of “Baon” is the first video I have watched after subscribing to them. Luckily, I did, because I was able to get so many lessons from them.
Word of affirmation, love language of Ongfam, where Jeo and Meng showcased this here. “Yung mga oras na ito hindi na natin maibabalik. So, hanggang may oras pa tayo na gawin yung mga kailangan natin gawin, gawin na natin” (So, until we have time to do all the things that we can, let us do it.) Coming from these adventurous people, they showed how much they value time and its importance in our lives.
Through this video, I got to know them more and I was able to understand why people admire them so much. TRIVIA: Do you know that DongDong is the only legitimate child of Tito Geo? Jeremiah is actually the first born son of Tita Janice. While Domeng, they got to know him on an island where they got to adopt him (this scene made me cry so bad) If you want to find out why, follow for more ^^.
This family indeed, has the purest heart of all. You’ve got to appreciate more about things and family because no matter what challenges they faced, they were still able to smile and see how they achieved things together. And, most of all, they have the Lord with them all the time. Ongfam, be one of us! All good in the hood, Kamag-anak!

DAYO
Welcome to my journey as I become part of the life of Ongfam!
Jeremiah Ong, as they say, "crush ng bayan", also got me when it was the year of the pandemic. I still remember the time when I saw a viral video of him, and there I saw a clip of their vlog entitled "Dayo". Little did I know, that was the beginning of letting myself be part of their adventure. I was also born adventurous, but not privileged enough to experience one. Watching their vlog Dayo for the first time got me into a new world where I did not even feel envious of seeing them experience those things; I just felt myself smiling for the whole duration of the video. The thing about Ongfam is that they made me attached to them without even trying hard. I got mesmerized by the beauty of Palawan and the art of traveling, as well as trying activities that were beyond me. And, most especially, the wisdom Geo Ong has instilled in each and every one of its supporters, like me.
Ongfam, be one of us! All good in the hood, Kamag-anak!
