Calvin Chen INSULTS PHILIPPINES?!!?

I think it's not true... In this video,,, I think,,, he's just joking.... Because Wu Chun really missed Brunei... and Philippines is between Taiwan and Brunei... sooo I think Calvin don't want Wu Chun to bumped on our land... I don't take it seriously... And as a Filipino,,, maybe other people may say I'm insulted... Well,,, I'm not insulted... Others misunderstood it... =)

translation about Chun and Calvin's conversation

Chun: This is Brunei
Calvin: BRUNEI?!!
Chun: Right...
Calvin: What beach of Brunei?
Chun: I'm so happy that the well-known beverage decided to shoot tthe commercial here at Brunei I had told them.... Because I had recommend to them the beautiful beaches here at Brunei... Look for yourselves, isin't the beach here are nice?
Calvin: Don't be like that, I hope that the next...(sentenced cut by Chun)
Chun: I told you, you ask him... (pointing at Calvin), isn't Brunei nice?
Calvin: Right...
Chun: Right, you see... Right, I told you that Brunei's beaches are beautiful. When they came here, they also felt that it's really gret... Right, we came here to shoot for four days, right? (waiting for Calvin's confirmation)
Calvin: Right...
Chun: Right then, I will bring them to eat some well-known food here like wild ginger rice, laksa, Hainan chicken rice...
Calvin: He really is, told you... He really misses Brunei so much he went crazy! This is Taiwan, you're CRAZY! This is Kenting, you my swim back to Brunei, you may keep on swimming towards Brunei!
Chun: Maybe it's the effect of last night's sleeping pills... (laughing)
Calvin: You may swim back to Brunei, just make sure you will not land in the Philippines, ok?

As you all know the country Brunei and Philippines are near thats why Calvin joked about it but in Chinese culture the way he said it is insulting to the country Philippines and Ngar who translated this told me since she is Chinese herself and she even askedher other friends who can understand and knows their culture and they agreed that when Calvin said that he did insult our country.
