    Thanks for sharing all the great videos. Way back on your 2nd Day of School (in Costa Rica) video I remember noticing Jake's fancy socks were worn through and I thought it would be fun to send a bunch of new funky socks I have but there was no way to do it. I was happy to see Grandma and Grandpa brought that gift when they visited a while later. :) Now I see this gift thing on UA-cam so I'll use this so you can have something from me in direct appreciation.

    I appreciate that you are loving the Barong shirts and ethnic style Filipino products. Not all Filipinos use Barong for ordinary occasions, only on special or formal affair like Weddings we usually use Barong. That’s cool. At MALL OF Asia there’s an ice skating ring, if you would like to learn skating on ice you can try it there, even kids like Gracie. Nearby is the Star City, a small theme park.

    I think you should have been directed to the main store of Kultura which is on the ground floor of Megamall, right across Wendy's and Hawker Chan, that store solely sells native stuff, you could have bought your native spoon over there. But if you want cheaper souvenirs, you have to goto the area of Quiapo (pronounced as Kee-a-po) in the city of Manila, underneath the bridge, lots of vendors selling local wares, Kultura sells refined ones. If your kids find the Barong itchy, ask them to wear a plain white shirt underneath, no local wears it without an undershirt.

  • @mitiventures1864
    @mitiventures1864 Рік тому +32

    I love that you are enjoying the cultural items. The 'itchy' see thru shirts are our formal wear called 'barong Tagalog', like suits. They are typically worn over a plain colored collarless shirt or tank top and paired with dark pants. They're used for formal occasions or business settings. I hope you found the large wooden fork and spoon to hang on the wall.

Oh I am glad that you guys found KULTURA, they the BARONG TAGALOG is the traditional Filipino shirts, its see thru and its made from pineapple fibre. It look like your kids enjoying the place so much ! Oh wow you guys have burgers and now at the Chinese resto! I had that at MOA the last time, I am pretty sure that is the one that is MICHELLIN STAR RATED. Oh wow ! those are fancy ice cream after. And at the end its PLAY TIME !

    The barong tagalog is the Filipino national formal attire for men. Looks very good on the Backman men too! However, one has to wear an undershirt beneath it called cameza de chino. I prefer a black undershirt cos it makes the design of the barong stand out.
    I prefer to dip my dumplings. The sauces are usually on the table, one has to mix their own to customize to their taste.

    You have to wear a Sando or white tank top (under shirt) for the sheer Barong Tagalog. For the long-sleeve Barong, you can wear under shirt with sleeves. The boys & Dad look good in philippine traditional formal wear, as we say in Tagalog, Ang Pogi or Ang Guapo! This is such a fun vlog.. me smiling all the time!

    To wear a barong tagalog you need to wear a white inner shirt. Like the brand Hanes its perfect because its soft and thin.❤❤ Some barong tagalog are a bit expensive specially if its piña(pineapple) material.and the embroidery is handmade. I remembered way back then when APEC was held in the Philippines and world leaders wore those. Very beautiful.
