    Hi guys, good to see one more channel featuring Manila, my hometown, which I’m missing so much. Watching from California. You’ve seen a bit of reality in Manila, a historic place in Fort of Santiago and one of the biggest mall (MOA). Good you tried the jeepney. The mall will not disappoint. Where did you get the coffee? Just wonder how come it’s so expensive. I thought everything is cheap in Manila, well it all depends on where you go. MOA is always packed with people especially on a Sunday. I’ve been there last September and really got a bit annoyed, but managed to stroll a little bit. lots of places to explore. Enjoy your tour of the Philippines.

Welcome to the Philippines. Don't miss visiting the Okada Manila at Aseana City, Binondo for some delightful street food and authentic Chinese Restaurant. Poblacion Makati for their Redlight District, and BGC in Taguig for their modern lifestyle. You may check out Gay Bars like O Bar in Pasig City and Nectar Night Club in BGC, Taguig. The American Cemetery and the Venice Mall at McKinley Hill inside the BGC area. MRT Stations in EDSA is the best way to commute around the National Capital Region of Metro Manila. You can visit any cities upon riding here like Pasay City, Makati City, Taguig City, Mandaluyong City,Pasig City, San Juan City, Quezon City.

    There's safe and unsafe areas in the country. Generally you want to go to places that have a lot of sunshine at day and lighting at night. You have to leave your valuables in the house and not wear anything expensive when you go out. You always have to look poor so you don't get holdupped.
