- In this episode, we are traveling to a beautiful, old part of the city. To Intramuros, in front of The Manila Cathedral. It's a beautiful cathedral and were asking the locals what they think of the city. What should we see as visitors? Why Manila? Why should YOU come to this city?
The location of the cathedral: goo.gl/maps/2yzMXbdHtEpQqgui7

![Should The Philippines Change Its Name? [Street Interview] | ASIAN BOSS](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/NUNqQl1DlSY/mqdefault.jpg)
The original Manila is a colonial setting one but the modern Manila is becoming a globally commercialized one. Some people think Manila is dangerous and risky place but on contrary it's socially chaotic with dysfunctional communities with a loads of fun and celebrations. Manila is seems underrated to tourist but is welcoming to visitors. Chaotic but lovely Manila of all seasons✌✌✌
Manila is a Port City thus it has perhaps one of the most beautiful sunset in the world. It has intramuros which is the only walled city in all of South East Asia. It has Binondo which is the oldest china town in the world. It has Korea town that you can't find in any capital cities in South East Asia. There's Ayala Museum where you can find the gold of our ancestors and it's the largest collection of archaeological gold in all of South East Asia and perhaps even in Asia as a whole because the Philippines during the ancient times is known as the isles of gold. If Bangkok has tuktuk manila has jeepneys. I have to say tho that TH street foods are way better than the street foods that we have here. Manila has beautiful business districts in all of South East Asia I have to say. We might not have iconic towers but you'll see that our CBDs are way better. I'm saying this because I'm a traveller myself. Another thing Manila has huge malls Infact, 3 of the largest malls in the world are can be found in Manila. It's the education hub of Asia rivaling Kuala Lumpur. Manila is the BPO center of the world. There are so many things to say about Manila but of course Manila has negative sides too just like any big cities but one thing is sure... Manila is such a great city.
Thanks a nice sum yo you made there 🙏🏼 thank you for taking your time to watching and writing this comment 🏆
@@Chai_Travel if you like contents like this my only advice is avoid any topics regarding politics and controversial issues it's for your own good. More often you can received tips and don'ts from your viewers so try to involve them as well. Just enjoy and don't over think what people might say just be honest. You have a huge audience now (they're mostly middle class and educated) and many of them are scattered all over the world because there are Filipinos wherever you are in the world so make good impression for Filipinos are avid followers.😉
I would say South Africa specifically Zanibar has the most spectacular sunsets and sun rises nothing like a African sun. he he hee
@@michelecrouse5284 I've never been to South Africa but I'm so sure it's beautiful. I just can't forget the sunset of Nacpan beach in Palawan, Philippines and I think nothing is like it but of course sunsets are always beautiful anywhere.
Hi sir ✌️ I watching now July 22 here in my province it’s rainy seasons thank you sir for visiting our country Philippines 🇵🇭 mabuhay...

But nobody holds a door open for the person behind.
Manila you have freedom, hospitality kindness and fun
Thank you ☺️
As I always say, our best import is the people.Yes we do have beautiful beaches, big malls but definitely Filipino people are our best representation of this country. We are just so welcoming to anyone.
Bangkok and Manila are basically like sister cities. They're alike but not quite so. I guess Manila is the big surprised in Asia because the city is sooo westernized like you'll see English signs everywhere and people can speak English too and it's something noteworthy about Manila and the Philippines in general. Manila is such a huge City, a megapolis composed of 17 highly urbanized cities. It has several business districts scattered around in clusters. If Bangkok has temples Manila has aged old stone churches. It's dynamic, chaotic, old, new, loud, crazy... A melting pot of different culture and a truly cosmopolitan city. It's architectures are can be liken to those in Latin America and the west but the irony is it's an Asian city in an Asian setting. Manila is old and way way old than one can imagine but we Filipinos simply call it "the city of our affection" FYI Manila this 2022 ranked 34th best in 53 best cities of the world and its way ahead of Bangkok, Hongkong, Singapore, Athens, and even Dubai
Well said. I enjoyed reading that.
Nope, its contrary, it's 34th behind ranking than those international cities because it's more underrated to tourists. Real talk😔😔😔
@@charlesjosephdiputado804 such a crab mentality? It's an international ranking buddy so be happy. Is tourism the only basis to know if a city is best? Well, I'm glad that the ranking tells something more other than tourism. Manila is one of the best and it's a fact. Real talk!!!
@@Jos8643 then read what the ranking is about. Read first the commenters has to say before you comment. It's just not about tourism bro. Anyway, everyone are entitled to their own opinion. I've never said that those aren't great cities it's just that the ranking done by them not mine says like as I stated it coming from them.
@@littlesparrow1284 Lol...😂😂😂Crab mentality???It's a Reality Check, Manila is in 34th ranking, what makes you sure its one of the best than the international cities you've mentioned???The Real Fact, it's an underrated city worldwide(economically,tourism)it's a Reality, Reality Hurts!!!
Manila is so diverse. There's an old Spanish city with it's beautiful catholic cathedrals, there's also a new ultra modern city like the BGC, aseana city, eastwood city that you can and off course the beautiful, friendly english speaking people. For for tourist. Language is not a proble everything written in english and the food of course.
foreign vloggers has no barriers in terms of communicating with locals, everybody can speak English even not that fluent, we are able to understand.
The San Agustin Church just a few meters away from the Cathedral is older and the same structure since the 16th century. The Cathedral has been rebuilt several times. Across the river on the way to Malacanang is san Sebastian church, erected in the 19th century on prefab steel parts from Belgium. Many other Spanish era churches in the area.
Awesome! There’s a lot to see! Unfortunately we don’t have more than a few weeks time to travel around a bit. We need to come back!
For me its the contrast of modernity and culture. Recommended places are:
BGC, Taguig City
Makati City
Ortigas District
Manila City (the Capital)
Pasay City
++ various malls and amusement parks
Intramuros
Sto. Tomas University (Oldest University in Asia)
Manila Chinatown (Oldest in the World)
++ Musuems
Enjoy your explore Here in the Philippines💚🇵🇭

Thanks champ! Always a pleasure 😜 you know it
Nice video Chai. Im now your new subscriber. What makes Manila a must to visit place are the following: Manila a historical city way back to the 15th century during the Spanish Colonisation of the Philippines.. You can still find old heritage buildings in Intramuros that survived from the 2nd World War Japanese invasion of the Philippines. Manila is the place where you can find the oldest University in Asia and that is the University of Santo Tomas in Sampalok, You can experience to dine at the oldest China Town in the World in Ongpin Binondo. You can see the Arts and paintings of famous Filipino artist at the National Museum. Luneta Park is a large parks that you can walk and an Oceanarium you can enjoy wacthing fishes at the H2O Hotel. A five star Hotel where you can enjoy the beauty of its interior and spacious rooms. Manila has the biggest mall, The Mall of Asia where you can spend your whole day, shopping, dinning, sports and entertainment activities. Connected to the Mall of Asia is the biggest IKEA in the World. Many Fine Dining Restaurant across the City of Manila. The old city of Manila is the concentrations of business and trade long back so the population of the city increases. Now, Manila is the city of the old past history where you can still find the traces of its past historic places through heritage buildings and ruins that still visible up to now and Manila is also a Modern city now where you can find skyscrapers around Roxas Boulevard.
Awesome Jun! Welcome on board 🤗 thanks for the info! We definitely can take some usable info out of that 🙏🏼
City of Manila and Mexico city were the center of the new Spain during the galleon trade.
Gotcha 🤗 thank you 🏆
I frequent that place along Binondo. There coffee shops and restaurants in there. Don't hesitate give them a try.
More power to you chai travel! 😀😀
Haha thanks champ 😜
wonderful feel good vlog. Have a wonderful stay in our 7K+ sunkissed islands of this beautiful country Chai! I hope this country would resonate with you! God bless in your journey.
It’s the culture, friendly and hospitable people, aside from good English speaking country that separate Philippines from the rest of their neighboring Asian countries. The country is composed of more than 7,000 islands with several world class beaches particularly in Palawan province. Thank you for visiting the country and good luck to your channel. Millions of Filipino viewers now are ready to subscribe to your channel. Keep up the good contents-just positive video contents and avoid negativity pls. God bless u☺️👍
Thank you 😄 I made a note of that 🙏🏼 cheers
Wow
Love Manila
Wow thank you for visiting in Phil's. it is a big pride for us to entertine visitors ,have fun in the Phil's island hope you enjoy a lot ...
We will! thank you 🏆
Hope you also went to Fort Santiago and the different Baluartes around Intramuros. Some of those places are very peaceful and beautiful. The central part of Intramuros where you're at can be a bit chaotic.
Thanks for the tips! Next time we would like to stay a bit longer to visit more places 🤗
Sawasdee Manila 😉🤙❤️🇹🇭🇵🇭
Thailand is watching! 🤗😃 Cheers
❤️❤️❤️ Love this, Chai...i wish you'd feature more of Philippines...
Thank you so much! Good to see you're still part of this journey :D
@@Chai_Travel until your cam retires i will forever follow your journey....
One of the biggest urban park in Asia is in Manila the Luneta Park or Rizal park so dont skip Manila.etc .😄
Travelling in the Phils.is not complete without visiting Manila.
Thanks! You must be right! 😃
Try to visit the "Venice Grand Canal Mall"of BGC or maybe the "Slum of Tondo Manila" I'm sure you like it there too!
Lol..😂😂😂it's not recommendable to visit Tondo especially the slum area for tourist. It's a chaotic and dysfunctional place to hang by of there's a probability to be victimized by a petty crime. Venice Grand Canal Mall in Taguig is more a recommendable one✌✌✌
Yeah vlogger Keis One (Adam) goes there and the people generally and the kids in particular love him.
@@charlesjosephdiputado804 I've been to the slums in tondo. It's not scary like people say. My folks worked there in the late 90's to mid 2000s. I've played with the kids and made life long friends during our time spent there. It's fine as long as one is respectful. There are vloggers that have gone there and there's also a tour of Tondo now by a nonprofit organization. Are the bougee pinoys too afraid of poor people??? 😂
@@stevens8785 exactly! I'm always surprised that pinoys are too afraid of that area. Heck, I'm only 1/4 Pinay but I spent a good chunk of my childhood playing there when my folks worked in tondo for a nonprofit group. People said we would get kidnapped. I'm 27 and still alive. Been there many times since then to visit old friends. Tondo is fine. It also helps to speak the language though!
Filipinos are very supportive to a foreign vloggers like you and the proof of that is the views of your vlogs. Why? Because Filipinos can communicate well to other nationals
Nice one mate! I totally see Why 🤗😃
Thanks for your beautiful comment about country
Enjoy your visit and explore other places of the Philippines

Please visit National Museum.
Hello Chai I have been away visiting my daughters did not get a chance to watch your videos home now and I find you in the Philippines lol great interviews as usual enjoy your time in the Phillippines Take Care
Aaaw I’ve just read this message 😁 thanks for sharing. I thought already that you’ve been a bit busy as we missed your presence ☺️ I hope you enjoyed the family time 😃 🏆 cheers
Thank you Chai. Please visit Ilo- ilo and Dumaguete as well.
Thank you too :) I’ll have to try next time
1:53 This guy have a lot of good answers.
He stole the show ☺️
If you ever have the time, try visiting the northern part of the country. I'd recommend the ilocos region, Cordillera (mountainous) region, and batanes which is considered the most beautiful province in the Philippines.
They also have islands and beaches there specifically in the Ilocos region. While the Cordillera region is known for its cold climate in a tropical country.
You should also try looking up las casas Filipinas de Acuzar in bagac bataan, which is pretty much a town full of hundreds of years old Filipino houses. It's pretty close to manila so it's an easy travel.
Hello, Welcome to Philippines guys. Mabuhay!
Metro Manila is like New York & Washington DC combined, where Business districts and Central Govt offices are found, Arts, History & Cultural centers, also big Universities, specialty Hospitals, Entertainment centers like TV stations & radios, Malls, Restaurants, Hotels & Casinos, Zoos, Baywalk, Riverside, Lakeside among others. Its really Big, its conglomerate of 17 Cities with number of CBDs found all over like Makati, BGC & McKinley, Aseana Entertainment city, Mall of Asia eCom & Baywalk, Newport, Ortigas, Araneta, Eastwood, Filinvest Alabang, etc.
As the Central Capital of PH, its few hours away from Tagaytay city where you find Taal Volcano on a Lake, Subic Freeport Zambales with nice beaches, Las Casas Filipinas Bataan a village collection of heritage Spanish houses, Rizal province & Laguna a nice mountainous towns with Laketown hot spring resorts.
But since Manila is an old city inherited from Spain, it has many Cathedral churches, old streets & towns, narrow roads & alleys, old houses, and chaotic sometimes crazy form of transport, lol.
But of course, the Best beaches, diving spots, mountain hiking, chasing waterfalls & nature activity tourist spots are found outside Metro Manila, scattered all over 7,000 plus islands of Philippines. Enjoy!
Thank you Luna 🤗
When say manila they will just refer you to manila alone but metro manila is defferent story, hehehe its a huge area to explore not only in manila, manila is just one city of metro manila, you go to makati, pasig and taguig and quezon city and pasay that is what you call part of metro manila.
Hi Sofia! You’re totally right 😅 I need more than a year to actually be able to discover this huge city 😃
Manila is very rich with history from Spanish American, Japanese and Chinese influences.You can visit a lot of places it depends what you want to see from ancient Instramuros Fort Santiago, Luneta (Rizal) Park, Chinatown Binondo, or just walki around Manila bay area to the modern Entertainment City you can find a lot of Casinos and modern Malls, Okada Manila, City of Dreams, Solaire, SM Mall of Asia area to Ayala malls by the bay.After Manila, your can visit other cities of Metro Manila like Makati, BGC, etc. Enjoy your stay and keep safe.Welcome to the Phils.
Thank you Dan 😃 we’ll need to spend way more time in this city than we actually do 😅 cheers
I don't skip ads

Congratulations on hitting 10K subscribers! If you're still in the Visayas region, hope you can visit the popular places there like Bohol, Camiguin, Siquijor, and then Dumaguete, Bacolod, Iloilo, and then to Coron and El Nido in Palawan.
Thank you :D We're visiting a few of them places for sure. Have a good weekend Terence

Welcome to the Philippines
Thank you 🇵🇭 we feel welcome here
Filipinos are multi- lingual people having language as their national language.
Very nice almost everyone speaks English 🤗
Across the river where you stand are other classic structures that you can find, the Neo-Classic design of the heritages building , this separates Manila from other cities within metro, metro manila is the melting pot of the country, this is where the road to the 7T and 4H isles start from your journey, if planning to do island hopping Visayas region are waving , by October interesting activities start , Masskara festival in Bacolod city , Sinulog, Atitihan, Dinagyang will come in Cebu,Kalibo,Iloilo cities, in January enjoy your stay have fun and discover more
Welcome to Philippines Chai, Mabuhay Philippines 🇵🇭
Thank you :)
@@Chai_Travel take care and GOD bless you always 🙏, Mabuhay Philippines 🇵🇭
Hey Dude.. I'll recommend you some places you can visit within Metro Manila while staying here in the Philippines.
If you wanna explore the philippines history specially the spanish colonial era you can check out and visit INTRAMUROS
If you want the city vibes there's a lot places you can check out like Makati, Mandaluyong, Ortigas and most specially BGC..
If you don't want the hot temperature of Manila and also love shopping and eating you can check out and visit SM Mall of Asia in Pasay, SM Mega Mall in Mandaluyong, SM Aura in Taguig, SM North in Quezon City and also Venice Mall in BGC.
If you want to explore high class casino and hotel you can visit Resorts world Manila, and OKADA Manila.
If you love spacious areas where you can hang out or jogging you can go visit Luneta Park, the biggest park in Southeast Asia.
If you want European style architectures you can visit BGC and East Wood
Thanks so much for putting effort in your comment 🤗 much appreciated
They need to visit Manila bec a lot of beautiful hotels, restaurants and malls. Food is fresh and delicious. People are kind and friendly. A lot of wonderful beaches and many more in other parts of the country. Just explore the many islands so u will know. To see is to beleive. 😀
Sorry for my late reply and thank you so much for that advise! I hope you enjoy this channel. 🤗
Hi Chai. Enjoy and then back to Thailand when hi-season travel.
Thank you Alexi! Of course I will 😃
Try to go to boracay, palawan and siargao
Sorry for my late reply and thank you so much for the tips! 🏆❤️
Have you been to BGC (Bonifacio Global City) yet? I think It's part of Metro Manila. They have a version of Venice Grand Canal, Italy.
Sweet! We’d like to visit next time we’re there 😃 thanks
Manila is the busiest city
Busy but very nice 🤗
As a filipino and manileno I thank your channel for your efforts to highlight the positive aspects of our historical city. it is a city beautiful though many imperfections are noticeable but its where much of the vestiges of colonialism and heroism are encapsulated and relics of filipino heritage and nationhood are stored and preserved . Its just sad at least to me it seems that manila now has somewhat deteriorated into a combination of a chinese business enclave and a muslim merchant community , far from what great filipino heroes and founding fathers had envisioned it to be.
Thank you so much for having us as a guest of your beautiful country ❤️ we feel very welcome here and the people are great 😃 a lot more than that as well. We love to explore more 🏆 cheers
For must visits in Manila, you must include Binondo, the oldest Chinatown in the world. BGC is another must visit. A hidden gem that a lot of vloggers miss is The Okada Casino. There is a dancing fountain at the casino that is a must see. It is bigger and much better than the Bellagio Fiuntain in Las Vegas. Enjoy your visit to the Philippines
Here’s a youtube video of the fountain
ua-cam.com/video/Rg_oCqspr1Q/v-deo.html
Thank you! We’re grateful for the tips 😁
3:19 Hahaha What a Proud Filipino man.
Haha he is! Fair play though 😉 I would be as well
Try to visit BGC and Makati 😊🤙
Hello there, most of the Travel Bloggers/Vloggers usually have some contact of a certain locality. This will help your tour and avoid disappointment, since not all services are available or same from where you came from. Have a good day and keep safe travel in our beautiful country. MABUHAY!
Sorry for my late reply and thank you so much! I hope you enjoy this channel. 🤗 Thank you for the tips!
You skip the new modern manila,
1.) Ayala Avenue makati
2.) Greenbelt makati
3.) BGC taguig
4.) Uptown mall BGC
5.) MOA pasay
6.) Okada paranque
TRY TO EXPLORE BATANES ISLAND...IM SURE YOULL GONNA LOVE IT THERE....RENT A SCOOTER AND EXPLORE THE WHOLE ISLAND..
Ooo that sounds awesome!!! I’d love to do it. Maybe next time as we are running out soon already 🥲
Ooo that sounds awesome!!! I’d love to do it. Maybe next time as we are running out soon already 🥲
Dito mo makikita na hindi na masyadong bihasa sa wikang Ingles ang mga Pilipino, imo.
Kaka teleserye 😂
My opinion only. Filipinos understand English however most of them can’t really speak English. You have to speak it everyday to be good at it. It’s hard for them to understand an American and British talking fast mixed with slang words.
It defends upon the location I guess but it's noteworthy that the people in random interviews are not well educated and yet they can understand and in their own way managed to express themselves in English.
Manila is congested better go to ilocos there are historical events. Manila is the center of businesses so it cannot be seen as tourist destination.. more on job opportunies.. if you wanted to interact to locals go out side manila..
Nice tip! We’re keep exploring
Try the island of Batanes for a change
Ooo! We have to check it out!

Manila was once the center of commerce and trade in Asia and doorway to the west.
Thank you Andrea 🏆
You look like Brazilian singer Tiago Iorc in a way
Haha I had to Google him 🤪 maybe a little bit ☺️
🙏🙏🙏❤️🤗💪🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Hi, after watching your videos i choice to go in Chiang Mai but now that you are in Manila do you have my same impression that Philippines right now are more expensive that Thailand?
Nice one mate. Manila is very different 🤗. I’d say the Philippines is roughly 35% percent more expensive than Thailand in my experience:)
The Philippines used to be the richest country in ASEAN.
Once upon a time, Thailand was the poorest country. almost the last in ASEAN
We are both friendly countries alike.
please stop saying that thing, you make me feel shame as Filipino, just ok to express you over proud feeling but don't exaggerate things about the Philippines foreigners is not that uniformed, they even knew more about our countries history than us.
Yes you're right , the presidnet should make the phils better by NOT BORROWING MONEY ANYMORE becausew the phils has a huge of debts already so he should do something by not borrowing money anywhere in the world. if he can do that maybe he will be considered doing his best especially if he will pay the debts of dutertis admin.
Typical Pinoy kung saan saan nagkakalat
We have huge Gold reserves,,so we can borrow anytime..🙏
Borrowing or Loaning is a natural thing in an economy. Every individual countries do that to allot their national projects in fulfilling economic needs, no country can survive without borrowing. Real Talk🤔🤔🤔
Tell me you know nothing about economics without telling me. Borrowing money is the best way for a developing country to fund their projects. Take south Korea for example. They borrowed heavily and was able to turn their country around. The problem with the Philippines is corruption. The money doesn't get used properly because it's already in someone else's pockets. Perhaps the government and people should deal with that first.
Little bit of Spanish history? You're talking about 300+ years man. 😁
Haha yeah fair play
Why can't say, Come and visit Philippines not only Manila ? The Country side so beautiful with Nature's and fine white sandy beaches.....
100% but this episode was only about Manila because it has not always the best reputation 🙏🏼
They are currently in Cebu as of the moment
@@Jesuisdixie wow you’re well connected to this channel..you are aware of their whereabouts
@@ImOkay925 ahahaha. When you click on the channel and click on Community tab, they post their updates there. That is where I found out that they're in Cebu
maybe there is something wrong with your first vlog 😁 . "Disappointment" is negative vibe. being honest sometimes is critical.. so better watch your words.. we Filipino "mabait" "good" but honestly we are "matampuhin" or moody/sulky... a lot of vloggers get thousands of subscribers because they really made us smile even i know the words or compliments were not exactly right .. but we do appreciate the "CARE" of our "FEELINGS".. stay safe and welcome to Our country.
Aw, Thank you so much 🤗 Sorry for my late reply! I really appreciate your words. I'll try to be careful
I agree with the bartender guy except the Manila is very clean 😅
Haha fair point Danny 😜 it’s getting better in Manila I think though
I'll be honest. I'm not really fond of ambush-interview style of vlogs for first-timers. But that's just me. Don't take my word for it haha. Would've wanted you to soak in the local vibes for awhile than doing interviews. Also, since (Metro) Manila is the capital and where a lot of businesses happen, a lot of the population are also from the provinces just working in Manila or trying to find work. So it's a busier vibe than the laid-back provinces. If you went to the park where you see other tourists or people just enjoying (and walking slower), they are the ones who have more time for interviews.
On an added note (and this one you have to take my word), please try to avoid talking about anything political. The views are very divisive so having an opinion might get you into trouble, particularly your views and on comments. Just a gentle reminder. Looking forward to your island vlogs.
Ding! Ding! It's also kinda off putting to watch a foreigner asking about politics when they aren't familiar with the political culture. Best to avoid it if he doesn't want to offend people. I'm still confused by what this channel's intentions though. I've watched several foreign vloggers visit the Philippines and so far enjoyed their approach to the country when they first visited.
Promoting the city/country to the world via interviews with the people. Chai may well focus more on the tourist next time. He likes to get views of others as well as having his own opinion on things. He also likes to explore himself with his friend Ilona and will vlog that content as well. There are a variety of activities we will experience and that is why I have been viewing his content as a subscriber for well over 12 months. Great guy with high morals and only good intentions 100%.
@@stevens8785 Thank you. I’m new to his channel. But I can tell that he is indeed a great guy and that he means well. My comments are more of a personal view as well as observation that others may share. And it’s also out of concern (hence, the advance warning re politics) as some viewers can be nasty or just stop viewing completely and oftentimes the vlogger doesn’t really know why or what happened
As for the interviews, sometimes I don’t mind them. It’s just a bit off-putting doing it the first day (in that area) and he happened to come across mostly ‘transient’ city dwellers who are not really originally from the city but are just there to accomplish a chore/job. I would probably have omitted that part but I do understand that probably took some time for him. A better interview (if not other foreigners) would be like if he actually toured the city, rode a trike there and interviewed the driver (I saw some vloggers before who happened to ride a trike around Intramuros and the driver knew lots of interesting stuff) or maybe he and his friend/gf would eat somewhere and get to know other diners and ask them questions. Those are the kinds of interaction I’ve seen viewers enjoy (if comments are the basis).
@@iflipover You know what Iflip over, this is the sort of response that I really do appreciate and, no doubt, so too would Chai, simply because it is positive and constructive so thankyou for that.
Thank you guys 🤗 I can understand it seems a bit awkward how I approach random people on the street. One of the things I’d like to show is that I’m not only focusing on myself but also let others give them their opinion and experiences. I also like to show (a little bit) that we shouldn’t be scared to talk to strangers and most people are super friendly. Local and tourists.
😅 politics… I don’t say anything more ;)
Thanks for your input.
Have a lovely day/night
city life go to bgc and makati
BGC, we have to check it out
Nah, that's where foreigners and rich Pinoys are. If he really wants to see Manila and how pinoys love, visit barangays or the slums behind the malls. Better yet, visit Tondo to really understand how most pinoys live. It's not scary like people say and there are plenty of vloggers that have gone there too.
Some or most of the people you interviewed were probly caught off guard.
Just a friendly advice--- Avoid asking too much about Politics! Its kinda Divisive,polarizing..It distorts the friendly mood for the locals..some will defend their fave politician like its the Last thing in the World...Stick to People,Food,Culture,Festivals,Malls and Beaches. 😁😊😊😘
See ya around!!
