The Filipina Pea - UNFILTERED!

Pea does a casual mailbag episode answering personal questions from Patreon supporters, commenters, and emailers. She promised 100% honesty and delivers, covering everything from her DNA results and dating preferences to a stalker scare that changed how she lives, and the life decision she's wrestling with behind the scenes.

Brian L: Did you go topless at Bondi Beach in Australia? ​

• Yes, but only while filming the intro segment where her hair covered everything
• She stayed fully dressed when not filming
• Second question: Did she actually spend the night in the sleeping bag with that guy?
• No — her Australian tour guide Dion came up with the joke line about "getting Pea in the sack," so they filmed the bit of her crawling in, but she slept by herself afterward

William B: Have you ever banned anyone on your channel? ​

• Yes, but not for disagreeing or insulting her
• Bans are for: people who outright lie about things she's said or done and keep posting the same lies even after being shown proof; scammer links to fake websites; racist comments; really obscene language
• She says she enjoys a good debate and welcomes disagreement

Zach E: Will you ever go back to school? ​

• Probably not — she already graduated college and doesn't see the point unless she needed specific training for a new job
• But this question opens up a deeper personal revelation: at 34, she's starting to run out of time on the things she really wants — to be a wife and maybe a mother
• She's working over 80 hours a week and her life is consumed by content creation (her day typically ends around 3 AM)
• She says getting married right now would be unfair to a husband because "I have nothing left to give at the end of the day"
• She wouldn't stop YouTube, but she needs to start thinking about settling down
• She adds she always wanted to be a lawyer, but accepts that's probably not happening — "oh well"

John Y: Do many Filipinos have Spanish blood after 300 years of colonization? ​

• Pea always wondered about her own ancestry because she says she doesn't look like other Filipinos
• She ordered a DNA kit but couldn't mail the sample from the Philippines because it was biological material — got blocked at the post office
• On a trip to the US, she did another test and filmed herself doing it for a potential video
• Results: 98% Filipino, 2% Chinese — "boring" — so she cancelled the video
• She researched the broader population and was shocked: only 2% of all Filipinos have any Spanish ancestry
• Her conclusion: "I guess the Spanish just didn't find us attractive — they just didn't mix with Filipinos that much"

Thomas B: How long is your hair? ​

• She gets a tape measure and has Lucy help: 42 inches (about 3.5 feet)
• She says she might need a trim soon

JRM: How did you and Lucy meet? ​

• Facebook, about four years ago — Pea was looking for a camera person, Lucy was looking for work
• Asked if Lucy regrets working with her, Lucy jokingly says "oh yes" — Pea tells her to get back to work

Matt S: What type of man are you attracted to — Alpha, Beta, Sigma? ​

• She doesn't put much faith in the labels but if forced to choose: Sigma — the strong, silent type
• Alphas can be too loud and obnoxious (not all, but many)
• She prefers a quiet, intelligent guy who stands up for himself and for her
• "That's not set in stone" — she acknowledges good guys exist in all types

JG: What are you most proud of? ​

• Building her family a concrete home — a promise she made as a little girl
• She knew her parents would probably never afford a proper house, so she built them one
• It's their forever home; she doesn't have to worry about it blowing away in a typhoon
• "Promise made, promise kept"

Simon R: Why don't you sing more? ​

• Almost every recognizable song is copyrighted, so singing demonetizes the video
• She only sings on Patreon where the videos don't generate revenue anyway
• She jokes that she "tortures" her patrons with her singing

Richard C: What was in the drawer by your bed that you didn't want your mom to find? ​

• This references a very early video where she was chopping a coconut and joked that if she died, her mom shouldn't look in her drawer
• The story: about 10 years ago, she was a bridesmaid and the bride gave her a gag gift — a vibrator — to embarrass her since she had a reputation as a "goody two shoes"
• Because Filipinos can't throw away gifts, she put it in a box under clothes at the back of her drawer and forgot about it
• Her ongoing fear: if she ever died, her mom would find it and that would be her "last horrifying memory" of her daughter

Ben D: What's the weirdest email you've received? ​

• She shares two stories:
• The stalker email (early in her channel): A man claimed Pea had hacked his phone and was sending him "disturbing images." He said "the voices" were telling him to come find her to make it stop. This terrified her and is the reason she became extremely private — she stopped talking about her personal life, doesn't film where she lives, doesn't show license plates, doesn't give location clues, doesn't shop at the same stores regularly. She became "a hermit" for safety.
• The hair fetish email (recent): A website that features women with long hair offered to pay her to post pictures of herself brushing and washing her hair, with users paying per click. She found it weird and declined.

Jim H: Rapid-fire dating preferences ​

• How tall is too tall? No real height limit, but she's 5'5" and "about two inches taller is fine" — so minimum 5'7" "to ride the ride"
• Hair preference? No preference — long, short, or bald is fine, "as long as it's not greasy"
• Smart or handsome? Smart, every time — "nothing beats intelligence for me," not necessarily book smarts, just someone who can keep up mentally. She gives the example: if you're watching a movie and halfway through the guy says "now who's that guy again?" about the main character, that's a problem
• Biggest physical turnoff? Long, dirty fingernails — "that just says something about a guy's personal hygiene. If he's got gross nails, you can count on other things being nasty too"
• Younger or older? She usually prefers men over 50 — and preemptively addresses the skeptics: "a lot of you are gonna say she's just saying that, but if a hot young guy came along she'd change her mind — but no, I actually think older men are more attractive, and when I get married I'll prove it to you"
• Does size matter? "Only to a certain point, and after that it really makes no difference at all" — compares it to the height requirement: as long as it meets the minimum threshold, who cares

Matthew D: What do people get wrong about you? ​

• The biggest misconception: that she's "westernized" — just because she speaks fluent English and gets Western humor doesn't mean she's adopted Western values
• She describes herself as "just a girl from the province that studied your culture"
• She's actually very traditional: not a feminist, wants to get married and have kids, would happily be a stay-at-home wife who washes her husband's clothes and cooks dinner every night
• She believes in "till death do us part" and doesn't mind if her husband leads
• Her spicy humor isn't Western — "I've been like that since high school"
• Referencing Western movies doesn't make her Western, just like watching Korean dramas doesn't make you Korean
• Second misconception: that she has an agenda to get people to move to the Philippines
• She says she doesn't care who comes or not — her only agenda is "trying to help good people find each other and make as many successful couples as possible"
• She'll share both the good and bad about the Philippines — "what you do with that information is up to you"
• "The one thing I will always tell you is the truth"
