Try wander the pubs and food haven in Diliman area, the QC Memorial Circle, compare the malls of Trinoma, Vertis North, SM North, a university tour in UP or Ateneo (or in the university belt in Manila lol). Just my cents if you want to vlog less visited ones.

      There, you went to eastwood lol. Hopefully you'd go up to antipolo as well, for a city/skyline view of the entire metro manila
      Eastwood is best to visit in the evening. For the sights and sounds. It's actually called the 'new york' of phl/metro manila. Bec it 'NEVER' sleeps lol

      Yeah it doesn't really look like new york, but the character that it 'never sleeps' is the comparison ;)
