EXPATS MAKING A NAME IN THE PHILIPPINES

BecomingFilipino: The Unforgettable Adventure of Kyle Jennerman

Yo, listen up y’all ’cause I got a tale to spin that’s gonna make your hearts race and your spirits soar. We’re talkin’ ’bout a man named Kyle Jennerman, straight outta Canada, who embarked on a journey that would change his life forever. This ain’t just any ordinary adventure, folks. This here is a story of love, passion, and a whole lotta heart.

So, picture this: Kyle, or as he’s lovingly called, Kulas, was a wanderer, a globetrotter, explorin’ every nook and cranny of this planet. He set foot in Europe, delved into Southeast Asia, and after gallivantin’ across twenty-nine countries, he finally landed his feet in the Philippines back in 2013. And let me tell ya, it was a game-changer.

Kulas wasn’t your average tourist, oh no. He had a camera in hand, a YouTube channel at his disposal, and a fire burnin’ deep within. This dude wanted to show the world the beauty, the magic, and the splendor of the Philippines. He wanted to become Filipino in heart, soul, and spirit. And that, my friends, is where the real adventure began.

Through his YouTube channel, BecomingFilipino, Kulas documented his wild escapades. He took us from the north of Luzon to the farthest corners of Mindanao, leaving no stone unturned. But here’s the thing: Kulas knew he couldn’t claim the title of bein’ Filipino ’cause, well, he didn’t have the passport for it. But that didn’t matter to him. He knew in his heart that he was a student of Filipino culture, a lover of its people, and a carrier of its traditions.

Years flew by, and Kulas kept on sharing his love for the Philippines with the world. And guess what, fam? Fate had somethin’ mighty special in store for him. In May, the Philippine Senate stepped up, united as one, and passed a bill called House Bill 7185. This bill aimed to grant Kulas Filipino citizenship, making his dreams come true, and officially making him a Filipino.

But hold up, we ain’t reached the end of this thrill ride yet. We’re on the edge of our seats, waitin’ for the final piece of the puzzle. It all hinges on the signature of none other than President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. When that pen touches the paper, y’all, it’s gonna seal the deal. It’s gonna make Kulas a true-blue Filipino, a citizen of the land he fell head over heels in love with.

So, buckle up, my friends, ’cause this story ain’t over. It’s the tale of a man who chased his dreams, embraced a culture, and found a home in the hearts of the Filipino people. And when that signature hits the paper, it’ll be a celebration like no other. A celebration of love, of unity, and of a journey that took Kulas from bein’ an outsider to becomin’ a part of somethin’ truly extraordinary.
