its expensive because they are paying fees for tax and goods importing to the island. businesses are charge with higher rent same for all other expensive places like japan.
As a famous tourist spot, expect prices in boracay to be a bit expensive. Taxes and rent are higher so it will reflect on the merchants' goods. The price of being famous. Try to haggle as much as you can. A lot of those sellers will be more than willing to give you a good deal.
Bring a Filipino friend to assist you everytime you're traveling in the Philippine places... There are many scammers in the Philippines especially on social media that's the #1 problem in the Philippines, and those scammers who talk to the victims face to face.. their targets are almost foreigners. Please take care of yourself Mana and i hope you're already aware of this .. If someone has intention of scamming again, it's better not to pay attention and don't be agree to what they offer
Just avoid the illegal businesses in the Philippines, the non taxpaying street vendors. Ask always for a receipt as a proof of transaction and in case do you want to complain.
hello po i just want to clarify po that the guy po who was asked about the activities is not a scammer po, infact he is also my coordinator in the Island Hoping boat business here in Boracay po. They have a license and they have a price that is followed to avoid scams here in Boracay, the products here in Boracay are really expensive because the equivalent of the price here is dollars so there is nothing cheap here in Boracay and For those who want to do activities po, please ask a license coordinators to avoid scams. thank you. *tama ba tong english ko😂 paki gets nalang guys di naman ako perfect 😂 pahabol at saka kami ngang residenti dito di nga nagrereklamo na mahal ang mga bilihin normal na yan dito sa amin po.. thank you po❤❤❤
That's right Mana, always ask other sellers and compare Prices. Don't buy easily. There are always Scammers especially in Boracay and other Tourist Spots. When they see Foreigners they jack-up the Prices. Always on the lookout for Sellers, Tricycles, Taxis, and Tour Guides. Be safe Mana.
My kinwento sa 'kin ang frend. May tatlong Korean tourist dito sa 'min napadaan sa 1 merchandising store. Bumili sila ng 3 dustpan. Tinanong mga Korean kung how much. E sagot nung tindera 1k each. Ung mga clueless na Koreans binili nman. Nka-3k ung scammer na tindera. E may pinoy tour guide pla ang mga Koreans. Nalaman ang scam pag-uwi. Binalikan nila ung tindahan. Kinompronta ng pinoy tour guide ung tindera kung mgkano tlaga ung dustpan. 30 pla isa ung dustpan. Bale 90 lang ung 3. 😆Kya binawi ng pinoy ung sukli na P2,910 mula sa tindahan. Malaking kita na nung mandurugas nabawi pa. 🤣
@@Krrrimmi Ganun din ang isang Korean na matagal na sa Pinas , mga 9 yrs na siya dito. Nagpa-tirintas sya ng buhok sa Boracay, dalawang tirintas na maliliit na na halos wala pang kalahating pulgada ang kapal, isa sa kaliwa at isa sa kanan na malapit sa may tenga. Siningil ng 1K bawat isa, kaya 2K lahat. Nang makita ng katabing nagtitindang Pinay din ay tinanong kung magkano talaga ang bayad, ang sagot ay P100 bawat isang Tirintas, kaya dapat P200 lang. Wala nang nagawa ang Koreana. Ang pangalan nya ay si Jessica Lee, isa ring YT Vlogger. Meron siyang vlog sa pangyayari. Iyan ang mga Kababayan natin na nakakasira sa imahen ng ating Bansa, lalu pa't dagsa na ngayon ang mga Turista dito sa atin. Sana naman ay magbagong kaisipan na sila na huwag nang manamantala sa mga Kababayan man natin o hindi. At palagay ko, ang mga iyan ay hindi tunay na naghahanap buhay, bagkus ay talagang naghahanap ng maloloko nila. Talagang gawain na nila iyun.
So true. When I was by myself in Dumaguete for 5 months (attending Silliman University), I couldn't trust that the tricycle/pedicab drivers wouldn't jack up their prices ...so I ended up walking and sweating a lot and easily lost weight without any exercise lol.
I came from boracay recently, that was just in july, the price of scuba diving is a bit expensive, helmet diving is 800 per person, parasailing is 1,500 for filipino tourists and a little bit more expensive for foreigners, so you're not get scammed😊if you are in boracay, expect that everything is expensive but rest assured that you will enjoy your entire stay.
Transportation and logistics expense of goods that comes from Manila and other provinces in the philippines is higher than land based tourist spots bec boracay is an island. And you have to also consider thr high gasoline and crude prices nowadays and inflation as well.
The prices also go higher the closer it is to the beach. And different provinces have different prices...some islands are more expensive because of transport of goods...and even more if it's a touristy area.
Its only 1km from mainland by small boat👉💥🤣 there are 7100 island 😜 not so expensive, the difference is your buying in a Hotel or restaurant than turo turo
@@dinomonzon1529 I'm talking about most prices aside from turo turo. Even jollibee is more expensive in Boracay. But yes, turo turo is definitely cheap. And there are cheaper ones if only one knows where to look. They do exist.
To me, Mana looks like she can be Filipino. If you said you were Filipino and I did not know you are from Japan I would believe you are Filipino. And yes. I am Filipino haha
@@123JAPAN I know you are pure Japanese but if I saw you walking down the street in the philippines I would think you're filipino. You could pass for one. It's the World Cup i will support Japan, i have their shirt haha
Mana. of course everything will be more expensive since its in Boracay. Boracay is premium. Goods are more expensive because shipping goods to the island costs money and that cost of course is passed on to customers.
the necklace you are looking is actually 4 for 100 pesos meaning you can get 4 pieces in just 100 pesos and for me its a reasonable price for a cute necklace/souvenir.
Just always remember that as long as it is a unique or rare establishment it is definitely expensive. The cheap and standard prices are the well-known and have many branches such as Jollibee, McDonald's, Etcetera.
Well known and established businesses have their own transportation for shipment of supplies so their prices are always standard. Expensive are those unique businesses and exclusive only at Boracay.
Honestly, I prefer Palawan. It's not that expensive like in Bora but the tourist spots are so wow. Just search first what or where is the cheapest there before you set your vacation.
Please take note that price may vary from place to place. usually, Boracay is a bit more expensive compared to others. The old man offering scuba diving services might be an agent only. He might receive 300 pesos (I don't know how much really per customer he gets but definitely they are all on a commission basis only). So the owner will receive at least 1500. But he has his crews, life savers, a boat to bring you to the site, a store to rent per month, tax for his business, etc. Do the math, how much is the profit for the owner. In my opinion, the price is just fair. The old man might have a big family to serve. If you get his offer, unintentionally you help him for sure he will be happy too. What you can't buy is the happiness you get from the experience and the feelings of that poor man( from the thumbnail it looks like he is the one who scammed you). You have two choices, either you grab his offer or go to the store directly for the right price. Scam word is not the right term especially if you did not pay anything that gets you annoyed. Maybe I'm shocked! or I'm surprised! that would be fine. Please remember Boracay is a tourist destination, it might give a bad impression to the other tourist as well. Please tell the viewers who scammed you. I am one of your followers and I like your blogs, but the title is just not fair. Just saying
@@wilmermadragon2111 kaya nga po..kawawa naman yung matanda cguro na bash yan dahil sa video na eto kahit wala naman talagang scam na nangyari.

I'm a solo traveler and boracay is the place that I will never ever going to visit because of unreasonable price. You should visit Siargao, Cebu or Palawan instead.
.... You won't be scammed if you're not gonna buy them .... if you are enticed to some products in Boracay, just hold, see and smell them, it's free of charge 😅 ....
I thought she's actually scammed. Coz I'm gonna be so mad 😬 Aside from Boracay being kinda isolated from the rest, it's a touristy area. High demand higher prices. So it's acceptable. But of course careful of scammers.
Bohol tourist attractions beaches in Panglao, chocolate hills, man made forest, underground river cave, loboc river, bee farm, baclayon antique Church, tarsier and flying lemurs etc... You can try also a variety of tourist attractions.
Pasensya nyo nlng sa mga scammers. Filipino talaga! 😅 Honestly, mukha tlga kmi pera when it comes to "needs" hndi po kmi mayaman hanggang may kakain kmi ng maayos. Ganun ang tunay na filipino! So good scammer po kami.
since it can be considered remote, fare is higher compare to metro jeeps and buses. mostly by motor boats resulting in additional amount compared to the metro normal prices.
I don't know where Mana will be based in the future, but in any case, it will be an important research to get used to the local market. I understood that the market price is different even in the same Philippines.
I think another factor why Bora is expensive because it is a separate island. Transportation from island to main island is a thing. Also its a tourist spot. So it's a reasonable price! 😊
Its only 1km from mainland by small boat👉💥🤣 there are 7100 island 😜 not so expensive, the difference is your buying in a Hotel or restaurant than turo turo
everything is really expensive in boracay mana..especially the island of boracay is separated..then it is still a tourist spot..almost all their goods come from shipments because it is difficult to get suppliers there..even local businesses that live there are also expensive their products..be careful and enjoy..and next time po bring a Filipino friend para mas okay ❤️❤️
Well at least the kuya is not forcing you to avail the expensive services. He is even telling you honestly that the prices are high. For me, it is not a scam. Scammers are people that lie and lure you to avail goods or services at high rate or simply vanishes with your money. Just scout the places for other sellers. Ask the locals how much it is really.
This is just the same when reselling a secondhand car or phone or other goods. The middle man like this Manong can price it how high he wanted. It cannot be called a scam. It's up to the buyer to do research or canvass the best prices. It is his asking price.
Mana is so honest to her words, I think she just used the word SCAM just to attract viewers, I also like the way how Mana is attached with Jollibee's chicken joy, it was like she can leave Japan for that :)
Mana you are a very cheerful person enjoying the beauty of our country but still, be always on your guard from some Filipinos who will trick you especially since you're a foreigner that those scammers think you have lots of money.
Mana you can understand zboracay is a bit pricy because it’s an island and a little resources for the vendors also Boracay is one of the best beach in the world you can search also a factor that is why items are expensive but yoi can identify those scammers by comparing one with another
the reason why boracay is more expensive is because rent and the transportation of products are expensive too there are no fresh water in boracay that is why bottled water in boracay is also expensive.
Hi Mana! 🌸 i really enjoyed watching your videos eversince 😊 you're such a bright and happy person. I wish i could be friends with you 🥰 stay safe and enjoy your stay here in the philippines! 🇵🇭
Hi ate man that good you being sensitive in all price because its true... In Boracay its all expensive because that is hard to get their in that island because mostly is shipping to get their.. So mostly in other part of province they have same level price rate also. So i have seen many scammers in term you wanna bred your hair is cost 2k-3k but in locals in Boracay must cheaper. Also be carefull also in the beach are giving you an exprensive price because their are scam... They to as an local people or local store where are some water sport to be cheaper as well. So you need carefully check the price and also the location because this hard to scam... So be careful. I wish sooon to wait new videos as well... I wish soon to see again kuya fumiya and other youtuber as well. So be safe at travel and god bless you.
Tag along a Filipino friend especially if the place is new to you. And that's very Pinoy... To ask around first before buying immediately. You can also make "tawad" (ask discount). 😁
Good day Mana next time be aware alert smart and snappy analyse all the prices carefully if you are convinced to buy them be wiser and practical,ok till then keep safe always and God blessed 👍😊
I had been to boracay 10 yrs ago. In my opinion as a filipino, everything is expensive in Boracay and Palawan. After all, these are the main popular tourist resorts in the Philippines. Few filipino can go there; majority of tourists are foreigners and filipino immigrant.
Interesting video, it’s very expensive in Boracay because its a tourist destination that why prices are high but you can get lower prices if you know where to look and also you should check and places before you go. So you can have fun and not worry. That what me and my family did while staying in boracay.
If you plan on going to Siargao, better contact Eight Miles From Home, a British Family who has been living in Siargao for more than 3 yrs. At least they can give you some TIPS ( DOs & DONTs)
They charge you more because of the view of the Ocean, if the Sisig is expensive or any food or restaurants with a view that's why they try to charge the tourist and fool them its like for example if you are paying more if you have a view of your hotel of course they charge you more, you have to be careful because this locals wants more money from the tourist their mind set are tourist are rich, it's just like anywhere or any third World Country the locals is just surviving they want to take advantage of this opportunity most of the locals are poor and probably only work temporary... Japan is an affluent and rich and the Society is honest and discipline... Don't compare Manila to Boracay.. Figure it out..!!
1-2-3 in the Philippines means not paying the transportation/commuting fee to the jeepney driver or bus conductor so it's like scamming them. Just came to my mind because the title is about scam and the channel's name has 1-2-3.
The price on Bora was really expensive, everything there was expensive. We once visited Bora because we have relatives there. I was really surprised on the prices of the items on that place. The plastic accessories that you can buy here in Manila that ranges arout 50-70 pesos, in Bora you can buy it for around 250 pesos. Even the pastfood chains like Jollibee and Mang inasal there has a higher price. And if you visit there on peek seasons the prices of the hotels are also increased than its usual price. Maybe because it is a tourist spot.
You visit Dumaguete City Mana, and if you have one Sunday? Go to Valencia there, plenty of gourmet food and less expensive. Try the fruit waffle for breakfast at Why not ? resto and its so masaarap😊. Snorkling and diving in Apo island and enjoy the mountain resorts and twin lakes, you will never regret it😊 Dumaguete City is in Negros Oriental near Bohol, Cebu and Siquijor😊
If it is not expensive for you as a tourist, go for it 😁 If I see people less.fortunate than me I'd be happy to pay 5x the normal price IF**** I can afford it :P if someone else thinks strongly against this I am open for learning. I have always seen Mumbai bus vendors and omg i wish I can buy everyone's everything 😂
Back 2016 me and my wife went to bora parasailing with picture and helmet dive is 2500 pesos each. So 1800 plus helmet dive 1000 is 2800 300 pesos only difference. You can still negotiate the price some of my friends i think got it for only 2100 before.
I just wanna say one thing... If someone is afforded to travel mean, nothing is expensive as long as they can afford it. Those people are also making living. There is always supply and demand. Before we travel, it is our responsibility to do a little bit of research. As long as things are within the expected range then it is ok... We can't make someone's life difficult for those who are surviving for their own living and for their family. I am just sharing my perspective. Either I spend it if I can afford it or I won't buy a thing if I don't afford it. That's all. The best is to make friends with a local and things will get easier. I always manage to make a friend locally before I travel overseas or sometimes online. That will make my traveling experience better, especially the food tour. I had a chance to try real local foods. Because locals know how to order the food and customised them the way they want it.
Its alright mana..its a well known tourist spot..so u better expect some goodies or foods u found there are little bit pricey..just ask question and look around so u can find a reliable price..its part of a vacation so u will expect the unexpected 😂..take care mana
Fast food prices vary depending on location. Like Jollibee and Mang Inasal in Makati Ave. and in Pasig is a bit different. I think I didn't see she got scammed anywhere on this video. She was very street-smart all throughout! For the person who think about the title of the video, "Na-scam ako sa Boracay" this has to be changed. And never be repeated for future content. It's click baiting, and it's a very bad online behavior.
The real price of yakult is 14- and the water is 16- you got scam dont buy easily because he easy to scam you because your only tourists.ask other sellers be for you buy
Boracay is most visit tourist spot island. That's why mostly on shop near in area expensive rentals, he need to increase most of product, and foods also! That island are maintaining the cleanliness not seym before very dirty..
Be careful mana the one big water battle the original price of that is 18pesos on regular store and Yakult just only 10 or 12 pesos only on regular store so be careful some store in Philippines have expensive price when I buy food in other store it's so expensive than regular store iam feeling I got scamm for that and be careful about the price
The price is higher because the stall that they rent is more expensive also. I think they rent for 50 thousand a month or more than. Plus the tax they pay.. it depend the place.
Sorry about the prices in Boracay. The reason why it is expensive is because Boracay is a tourist destination and that the only way for the local people there to survive.
tourist spot po yung boracay maam kaya ganun talaga price ng mga paninda nila hindi nga nag rereklamo resident ng boracay sa subrang mahal....saan ang scam dun? sa price? dun ka magbakasyon sa hindi tourist spot 😩
Now you know one of the dark side in the Philippines, scammers and hackers are a trend right now in the country so please be careful and yes bring a filipino friend if possible to assist you ☝️. Stay safe and healthy beautiful Mana 👍.
Good morning Mana-san, Boracay is a tourist destination, so no doubt why there's some are expensive. Well then, have agreat vacation Mana-san and stay safe.
I'm a Filipino but seeing the price over 100pesos in Boracay, is a little bit much expensive maybe because it is a tourist spot? I prefer stay in a house of a friend there if I have or find cheaper apartment no need to buy food outside just buy ingredients and raw fish or meat then cook it myself while enjoying the view in Boracay.
Yeah, every thing is expensive in boracay. I'm a tourist guide for korean guest before for 5 years in boracay, and I can tell that staying their as tourist is like expending 2x the spend in other places in the Philippines.Other people take advantage of foreigners especially first time visitors in boracay by overpricing. Take care! 😏
Yes, 😩☝️Boracay restaurant are very expensive because it's a major Tourist spot...try local food outlet away from Tourist spots or get out of there quickly...
even Jollibee, the price is expensive than other places 😳!!!

its expensive because they are paying fees for tax and goods importing to the island. businesses are charge with higher rent same for all other expensive places like japan.

In boracay its expensive, rent, salary, and sewage management... So its still ok price since ur pretty Mana....
That’s normal. LOL! Make sure to research or ask your filipino friends. Why other jollibee branches expensive

Honestly, mukha tlga kmi pera when it comes to "needs" hndi po kmi mayaman hanggang may kakain kmi ng maayos. Ganun ang tunay na filipino! So good scammer po kami.
It's the fact you could see the sign
"5 for 100" so why 100 for 1 individual?
So very wonderful thank you for the uploads
With regards to tours, in Boracay there is what you call Foregner Rates and local Rates. Foreiner rates are way more expensive than local rates.
Holla i will visit boracay and palawan in February ❤from Ecuador
I have never been to Palawan 🥺❤️❤️
Always be careful and try to negotiate on prices.
since it can be considered remote, fare is higher compare to metro jeeps and buses. mostly by motor boats resulting in additional amount compared to the metro normal prices.
I don't know where Mana will be based in the future, but in any case, it will be an important research to get used to the local market.
I understood that the market price is different even in the same Philippines.
I think another factor why Bora is expensive because it is a separate island. Transportation from island to main island is a thing. Also its a tourist spot. So it's a reasonable price! 😊
Its only 1km from mainland by small boat👉💥🤣 there are 7100 island 😜 not so expensive, the difference is your buying in a Hotel or restaurant than turo turo
everything is really expensive in boracay mana..especially the island of boracay is separated..then it is still a tourist spot..almost all their goods come from shipments because it is difficult to get suppliers there..even local businesses that live there are also expensive their products..be careful and enjoy..and next time po bring a Filipino friend para mas okay ❤️❤️
Well at least the kuya is not forcing you to avail the expensive services. He is even telling you honestly that the prices are high. For me, it is not a scam. Scammers are people that lie and lure you to avail goods or services at high rate or simply vanishes with your money. Just scout the places for other sellers. Ask the locals how much it is really.
scam tawag dyan
@@pogz1 hahaha true
Hindi naman talaga scam yung price na binigay ni manong.. Publish rate lahat ng binigay nya😊
This is just the same when reselling a secondhand car or phone or other goods. The middle man like this Manong can price it how high he wanted. It cannot be called a scam. It's up to the buyer to do research or canvass the best prices. It is his asking price.
@@sourcecodeJky Mismo.. Its up to you kung mag dedeal ka sa price nila or not..
Mana is so honest to her words, I think she just used the word SCAM just to attract viewers, I also like the way how Mana is attached with Jollibee's chicken joy, it was like she can leave Japan for that :)
hello mana! i'm always watching your videos. Stay safe on your travels😊
Salamat ❤❤
Mana you are a very cheerful person enjoying the beauty of our country but still, be always on your guard from some Filipinos who will trick you especially since you're a foreigner that those scammers think you have lots of money.
Mana you can understand zboracay is a bit pricy because it’s an island and a little resources for the vendors also Boracay is one of the best beach in the world you can search also a factor that is why items are expensive but yoi can identify those scammers by comparing one with another
the reason why boracay is more expensive is because rent and the transportation of products are expensive too there are no fresh water in boracay that is why bottled water in boracay is also expensive.
Always be responsible mana
Hi Mana! 🌸 i really enjoyed watching your videos eversince 😊 you're such a bright and happy person. I wish i could be friends with you 🥰 stay safe and enjoy your stay here in the philippines! 🇵🇭
Mana... Always be careful....bring a friend to prevent a scam
Hi ate man that good you being sensitive in all price because its true... In Boracay its all expensive because that is hard to get their in that island because mostly is shipping to get their.. So mostly in other part of province they have same level price rate also. So i have seen many scammers in term you wanna bred your hair is cost 2k-3k but in locals in Boracay must cheaper. Also be carefull also in the beach are giving you an exprensive price because their are scam... They to as an local people or local store where are some water sport to be cheaper as well. So you need carefully check the price and also the location because this hard to scam... So be careful. I wish sooon to wait new videos as well... I wish soon to see again kuya fumiya and other youtuber as well. So be safe at travel and god bless you.
Be friendly and yet be smart. Scam is everywhere...ingat po
Stay safe mana and the people you meet..🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
Im 45 years old and like most regular salaried workers, I haven't been to boracay. You Are very lucky you can afford it.
Before you go to places you're not familiar of please bring a friend or hire someone who s knowledgeable and can guarantee you a safety
Tag along a Filipino friend especially if the place is new to you. And that's very Pinoy... To ask around first before buying immediately. You can also make "tawad" (ask discount). 😁
Good day Mana next time be aware alert smart and snappy analyse all the prices carefully if you are convinced to buy them be wiser and practical,ok till then keep safe always and God blessed 👍😊
You're smart, avoid being scammed, always compare prices from the others.
₱100 x 2 = ¥200
¥200 ÷ 2 = ₱100
やっぱりどこも観光客用の価格ってあるのね😅
それにしてもBoracayを検索してみてびっくり！めっちゃ行ってみたくなった～
ザリゾートでした🏝💕もう目を開けるのが眩しいくらいの太陽です☀️
Becareful,Especially since not all Filipinos are kind. But almost all Filipinos are kind
I had been to boracay 10 yrs ago. In my opinion as a filipino, everything is expensive in Boracay and Palawan. After all, these are the main popular tourist resorts in the Philippines. Few filipino can go there; majority of tourists are foreigners and filipino immigrant.
Interesting video, it’s very expensive in Boracay because its a tourist destination that why prices are high but you can get lower prices if you know where to look and also you should check and places before you go. So you can have fun and not worry. That what me and my family did while staying in boracay.
I was supposed because every Jollibee, the price is different from other places 😮
If you plan on going to Siargao, better contact Eight Miles From Home, a British Family who has been living in Siargao for more than 3 yrs. At least they can give you some TIPS ( DOs & DONTs)
They charge you more because of the view of the Ocean, if the Sisig is expensive or any food or restaurants with a view that's why they try to charge the tourist and fool them its like for example if you are paying more if you have a view of your hotel of course they charge you more, you have to be careful because this locals wants more money from the tourist their mind set are tourist are rich, it's just like anywhere or any third World Country the locals is just surviving they want to take advantage of this opportunity most of the locals are poor and probably only work temporary...
Japan is an affluent and rich and the Society is honest and discipline...
Don't compare Manila to Boracay..
Figure it out..!!
1-2-3 in the Philippines means not paying the transportation/commuting fee to the jeepney driver or bus conductor so it's like scamming them. Just came to my mind because the title is about scam and the channel's name has 1-2-3.
you should tell the police about it, that is unacceptable
The price on Bora was really expensive, everything there was expensive. We once visited Bora because we have relatives there. I was really surprised on the prices of the items on that place. The plastic accessories that you can buy here in Manila that ranges arout 50-70 pesos, in Bora you can buy it for around 250 pesos. Even the pastfood chains like Jollibee and Mang inasal there has a higher price. And if you visit there on peek seasons the prices of the hotels are also increased than its usual price. Maybe because it is a tourist spot.
You visit Dumaguete City Mana, and if you have one Sunday? Go to Valencia there, plenty of gourmet food and less expensive. Try the fruit waffle for breakfast at Why not ? resto and its so masaarap😊. Snorkling and diving in Apo island and enjoy the mountain resorts and twin lakes, you will never regret it😊
Dumaguete City is in Negros Oriental near Bohol, Cebu and Siquijor😊
If it is not expensive for you as a tourist, go for it 😁
If I see people less.fortunate than me I'd be happy to pay 5x the normal price IF**** I can afford it :P
if someone else thinks strongly against this I am open for learning. I have always seen Mumbai bus vendors and omg i wish I can buy everyone's everything 😂
its not everything here at boracay expensive.. as long as you know how to find a shop or store who sells much cheap.. 😢😢😢😢😢
Bring some Filipino friends so you don't get scam
You promise us when you comeback in the philipines you try the boddle fight❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi Mana. Enjoy your trip in Boracay. Have a nice day. Don't get scammed again. Ingat na lang.
so very amazing Japanese girl
Back 2016 me and my wife went to bora parasailing with picture and helmet dive is 2500 pesos each. So 1800 plus helmet dive 1000 is 2800 300 pesos only difference. You can still negotiate the price some of my friends i think got it for only 2100 before.
I just wanna say one thing... If someone is afforded to travel mean, nothing is expensive as long as they can afford it. Those people are also making living. There is always supply and demand. Before we travel, it is our responsibility to do a little bit of research. As long as things are within the expected range then it is ok... We can't make someone's life difficult for those who are surviving for their own living and for their family. I am just sharing my perspective. Either I spend it if I can afford it or I won't buy a thing if I don't afford it. That's all. The best is to make friends with a local and things will get easier. I always manage to make a friend locally before I travel overseas or sometimes online. That will make my traveling experience better, especially the food tour. I had a chance to try real local foods. Because locals know how to order the food and customised them the way they want it.
Take Care Mana.
Its alright mana..its a well known tourist spot..so u better expect some goodies or foods u found there are little bit pricey..just ask question and look around so u can find a reliable price..its part of a vacation so u will expect the unexpected 😂..take care mana
Fast food prices vary depending on location. Like Jollibee and Mang Inasal in Makati Ave. and in Pasig is a bit different. I think I didn't see she got scammed anywhere on this video. She was very street-smart all throughout! For the person who think about the title of the video, "Na-scam ako sa Boracay" this has to be changed. And never be repeated for future content. It's click baiting, and it's a very bad online behavior.
The real price of yakult is 14- and the water is 16- you got scam dont buy easily because he easy to scam you because your only tourists.ask other sellers be for you buy
Ate mana mag enjoy kalang po sa Philippines 🇵🇭
Ang dream ko maka Punta Japan
Take care sister mana as always you forever and ever
Amen!.
Boracay is most visit tourist spot island. That's why mostly on shop near in area expensive rentals, he need to increase most of product, and foods also! That island are maintaining the cleanliness not seym before very dirty..
Be careful mana the one big water battle the original price of that is 18pesos on regular store and Yakult just only 10 or 12 pesos only on regular store so be careful some store in Philippines have expensive price when I buy food in other store it's so expensive than regular store iam feeling I got scamm for that and be careful about the price
I know it’s paradise, but I was supposed the price 😂❤
Be careful and enjoy your trips mana 🥰
The price is higher because the stall that they rent is more expensive also. I think they rent for 50 thousand a month or more than. Plus the tax they pay.. it depend the place.
Sorry about the prices in Boracay. The reason why it is expensive is because Boracay is a tourist destination and that the only way for the local people there to survive.
tourist spot po yung boracay maam kaya ganun talaga price ng mga paninda nila hindi nga nag rereklamo resident ng boracay sa subrang mahal....saan ang scam dun? sa price? dun ka magbakasyon sa hindi tourist spot 😩
saan ang scam??kawawa nman si kuya naka front pa nman
mana you should visit palawan soon!! 💞
Now you know one of the dark side in the Philippines, scammers and hackers are a trend right now in the country so please be careful and yes bring a filipino friend if possible to assist you ☝️. Stay safe and healthy beautiful Mana 👍.
Wow, this truly a great content for others that I'll go boracay
Good morning Mana-san, Boracay is a tourist destination, so no doubt why there's some are expensive. Well then, have agreat vacation Mana-san and stay safe.
2:06 - Mana wanting to know the tindera that she'll not buy her products HAHAHA
I'm a Filipino but seeing the price over 100pesos in Boracay, is a little bit much expensive maybe because it is a tourist spot? I prefer stay in a house of a friend there if I have or find cheaper apartment no need to buy food outside just buy ingredients and raw fish or meat then cook it myself while enjoying the view in Boracay.
Don't be sad mana always be happy with you my Japanese girl
Yeah, every thing is expensive in boracay. I'm a tourist guide for korean guest before for 5 years in boracay, and I can tell that staying their as tourist is like expending 2x the spend in other places in the Philippines.Other people take advantage of foreigners especially first time visitors in boracay by overpricing. Take care! 😏
Yes, 😩☝️Boracay restaurant are very expensive because it's a major Tourist spot...try local food outlet away from Tourist spots or get out of there quickly...
Ingat din pag may time. May mga ganyan talaga tao. Kahit saan lugar
Becareful mana ❤
Keep safe mana there are so many scammers in Boracay specially in Virgin Island,Cebu
