Interview with US Ambassador MaryKay Carlson | Almost Diplomatic
Finally sharing the full interview with U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines, H.E. MaryKay Carlson!
We filmed this right before I moved to Tokyo. If I look tired, it’s the moving prep. But as always, the content, will be evergreen! Amb. Carlson welcomes us into the official residence in Manila and talks about what makes it so special (Spoiler: Expect something related to a Filipino National Artist) and her story on how she became a diplomat.
She also talks about balancing her different roles as a diplomat and the most important skill aspiring diplomats should have!

*Im from india. Preparing for job of diplomat. Your vlog are kind of inspiration for me*
So happy to read this! Rooting for you! :)
Fantastic interview with many life lessons, thank you so much, Carol. Greetings from Brazil!
Thank you, Vitor! Hope I can do more interviews and vlogs that’ll be interesting for you! 🫶
As an IS student, this interview provided so much insight and additional knowledge in what goes on in being an Ambassador. Definitely fueled my interest further in pursuing the field of foreign affairs. Hopefully you can also interview Ambassador Delia Albert and or Ambassador Laura Del Rosario if you have the opportunity. Would also love to watch more videos in hosting and etiquette from what you know and practice. Thank you for making this kind of content!
Happy to read this! I’ll try to schedule with Amb. Lula and Amb. Delia next time I’m back in Manila! 😊
A very insightful interview, thank you for sharing it. Great that you asked the ambassador how it all began for her, and she gave a very good answer, "sometimes you don't know what you should want". This channel is amazing, and filling a niché on UA-cam that is rare. Especially for someone young who is considering a life in diplomacy, the information presented is priceless. Please continue to do what you do. Warm greetings from Denmark.
Thank you so much. Reading your comment makes all the effort worth it. 🫶
My partner is a diplomat so I really appreciate this video
Thank you for the excellent review on dyson products! You explained it really well and clear, very professional! Great job!
Thank you for your practical advice 😊 I have been dating one and he asked me to join him at a casual work get together
great ideas❤
So much enjoyed the video. Dress code I have some different view
Can a spouse work in the embassy?
Hello! You can use the warranty in the Philippines even if the Corrale was bought in Germany? Because I bought mine in Japan. Not sure if they will replace it too after 2 yrs 😅 I live in the Philippines
Hi! It depends on the Dyson distributor in that country. I was able to get my V11 from Germany fixed under warranty in Manila. However, if your Corrale is over two years, the warranty might not be valid anymore. :(
Where did you buy them?
Hi po maam! Very grateful for this insightful and informational video to those who aspire to serve in our country's Foreign Service. I'm currently a Senior Highschool Student in the Philippines who's torn between taking Psychology and Polsci. I've been considering Polsci more now after finding about the FSOE since I wish to become an FSO in the near future, although I'm still very lost in my choices - from your perspective, what advice could you give? Thank you so much
she sets high standard in decorating.
Truly! <3
Thanks to this video we were able to have a glimpse of the Oral Stage/Last Stage of the FSOE. My husband is now a Diplomat ❤
Thank you, this really helped me.
Omg that color!!!!!😍
Promo-SM
Thank you for sharing this! Would also love to see Amba's Christmas decor if you are ever given the chance to visit her beautiful home again!
Recommendations for first job experience if aspiring FSO?
Hi, I was born in Spain but my parents are Moroccan and I'm living right now in France. What is precisely your home country? Is it the place where you were born or the place where you live? What is the country that I have to represent?
Hi Judith. I think it will depend on which country issued your passport but best to check with them first. :)
Hi dear, the audio is veeery low :(💛
Ooof. Sorry about that! The subtitles are working though! Hope that helps! Will get a better mic. :D

Hi Nurhati! You can contact her through the Philippine Embassy in Korea. :D
I so love this video that I have been looking for. I love to represent our Philippines thru our attires. And I love each piece you have here. Hope you create more videos specifically on bringing the Pinoy culture in the international gatherings. You are so beautiful, Ms. Carol! 😍😇
Thanks so much! So kind of you!

she's so smart. she graduated in UP, is also a lawyer, spoke french, knows extemporaneous speech about cesar legaspi (who is mainly known in the art world), and she also speaks german and spanish. just wow!
The Ambassador also speaks Korean now! She's currently assigned in Seoul. :)
Hello po. Thank you for sharing this content. Napakahelpful po. Curious question though, meron po bang diplomat na member ng LGBTQIA+? Natanong ko lang po kasi while other countries are quite accepting, others naman are very religious and find being an LGBTQ as taboo. Thank you po in advance!
Hi! There are diplomats who are indeed part of the LGBTQIA+ community and they're thriving! :)
Question po. May money changer po ba sa Yang Yang airport? Thank you :)
I loved the video. Nice review 😍😍
Salamat po!
Mam ask ko lang po pwde ba kahit 1st time palang mag travel abroad?
Hii mam I have a question for yr husband i means you can answer it😅 Can a diplomat visit any foreign country or near by country where they are posted any time for vacation like common people visit any country when they get bored😑 after lengthy stress work. For 1-15 days they get leave from office Or it's tough for diplomates Or it's complicated to get leave for foreign trip..???? Please answer!!! 🙄
Hi! new here. I'm currently 3rd year taking AB Foreign Service Major in Diplomacy here in the Philippines. Planning to take FSE next year and Hopefully I'll pass hehe! Love your content..
Rooting for you! :) Just posted part one of an afternoon with the US Ambassador. We did a house tour and next up will be our interview! Maybe you'd enjoy those too! :)
Hello, I hope that you will notice this comment. Where did you avail the package? Please?
I bought the air wrap and returned it because my crown still stayed frizzy and none of the UA-cam tutorials helped me get the same look. I’m not contemplating corrale to get a sleek or wavy look. What do you suggest?
Hello , help me if it's okay to pair a v neck tshirt with filipiana bolero?
