The Philippines is part of the most dynamic region in the world right now- ASEAN
Welcome to vlogger capital of the world❤
Some interesting places in the Philippines are the Mall of Asia Complex, Okada Manila at Aseana City in Paranaque, BGC in Taguig City, and Bridgetown in Pasig City. Greenfields in Mandaluyong City and Ortigas Center in Pasig City. Ayala Alabang in Muntinlupa is the farthest area among the posh community in Metro Manila. It's also a must-visit and have a side trip to Tagaytay City. If you want authentic Filipino food try MANAM Restaurant of Max's Restaurant. There is also a weekend market in Salcedo Village in Makati every morning and they offer delicious international street foods.
LOL Interesting? I don't think so 😂
The more interesting places in metro manila are SMOKY MOUNTAIN, PAYATAS, BASECO BEACH, Thousands of ESTEROS with BLACK DIRTY WATER and MILLIONS of GARBAGE in it HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Trying hard to promote the ugliest place in the Philippines 😂
Thanks for the awesome recommendations!
I love going back to the philippines. Beautiful country ❤fr Barcelona spain
@Tommy Sal - Kwek-kwek is a waffle-coated fried quail egg. Balut is a boiled fertilized week-old duck egg eaten with vinegar and chili. Enjoy!
BGC is a classic mall for the rich people 🎉🎉
O kayong mga Pinoy, makinig kayo sa kanya. Eto ang gusto ng mga turista. Walang basura, walang traffic, walang graffitti, walang busina ng mga sasakyan. Then, madaling puntahan ang Pilipinas
Isa sa magandang puntahan dyan sa Manila dapat naman ganyan ka ganda lahat d2 sa Pinas
sabihin mo sa mga gumagawa ng sasakyan wag ng lagyan ng busina😂😂ganyan na tlaga ang sitwasyon sa pilipinas tanggapin na natin..bkit sa kanilang bansa ba walang basura? walang traffic? bkit meron silang traffic lights😅😅 pagkakaiba lang sa kanila nasa kaayusan ang pamamalakad ng gobyerno ang wala lang sa mga pilipino disiplina
Sino ba sya para sabihin tayo??? Naka punta ka na ba sa ibat ibang lugar sa Southeast Asia. Hindi moderno at madumi din mga ibang lugar nila pero dinadayo parin ng mga tourista.

A taste of home without the violence! Check out the Okada in Manila!
Enjoy your stay in the Philippines 🇵🇭
Don't forget to visit up north in Pampanga(cuisine capital of the country), Baguio City(coolest weather in the country),
Vigan City(old spanish town), La Union(surfing capital of the north), and everything in between.
Baguio does not have the coldest weather in the country. It's only 5,000 feet. There are towns north of Baguio that are over 8,000 feet. And then Mt. Pulag is almost 10,000 feet- double that of Baguio. So no, Baguio is not the coldest place in the Philippines.
Begging for tourist 😂
Thanks for the recommendations!
Watching some of these videos with the streets and the malls, no trash, no homeless, no crime....It's almost like going back in time. It reminds me of my city 20-30 years ago...Malls were full, the streets at night were full of life. We felt safe.....pretty amazing really.
Unfortunately even in small town USA going out at night is a gamble anywhere
Welcome to philippines❤ explore the beautiful island of the phil. Like coron palawan, boracay, siargao island.. be safe
Conversely, BGC or Bonifacio Global City is a bubble Leisue and Commercial District located in the City of Taguig. BGC is formerly Fort McKinley (during the US occupation) that became Fort Bonifacio (Headquarters of the Philippine Army). FYI.
Welcome and thank you for visiting the country.
Welcome to the Philippines, hope you enjoy your stay here and able to see all the beautiful sights of the country, be safe!!!
Manila is voted The Best City in the World for many years now ..
Enjoy your Stay in BGC
The big cities in the Philippines don't surprise me, you expect that since that's where all the money and development is going. But the improvements in the smaller provinces is what has impressed me the most in the last 20 years, how there is also a growing middle class developing.
Makati, the little Singapore of the Philippines 🎉
Welcome to the Philippines. Thank you for the visit. Enjoy your stay. New subscriber.
Philippines was a former US territory from 1898 to 1946 that's why you can see many similarities with US cities, and a lot of US influence in the Philippines and Spanish as well.
Welcome to the Philippines first and foremost thank you for visiting Philippines,I’m a pilipino living in the California more than 3 decades. As far I know most of the State in America more dangerous ,dirty a lot of people influencing of drugs .So for me Philippines is not dangerous place in fact a lot of Americans and European wants to move in the Philippines.. and one thing more a lot of homeless..
No gangs, no karens, no rat race. Come on ❤❤❤❤❤
Try visiting American cementary in bgc and burgos circle in Bgc
Come to BGC browww welcome to to the Philippines 😮❤🎉❤
Come to El Nido Palawan bro
Welcome enjoy Philippines.
Welcome to the philippines bro tommy
Like And Share Done
Thank you 🙏🏼
Kwek-kwek is a quail egg
Consider this: people's behaviors, respectful, civilized, helpful, and kind is not a measurement of a 3rd world.
And, do yourself a favor. You should pay tribute to the Manila American cemetery.
You will be surprised, better than Arlington. It's a walking distance to BGC.
And, for your history, BGC'S original name is Fort McKinley, the 25th President of th United States.
Thank you sir
Keep vlogging. You will thrive here.
Because you love our country i now subscribe 😅👍🥂
Keep being great bro
Not sure why foreign retirees, Americans, Canadians and Australians retire in the Dumaguete City but they're there.
Bc their broke
New subscriber here from Seattle Washington thank you for visiting my beautiful country Philippines enjoy your stay mabuhay ❤
We were just there the other day. Makati is really nice and reminded me a a lot of some nyc neighborhoods, more than bonifacio global city did, which often draws those comparisons
Welcome
New Subscriber from the Philippines 🙋🏽♂️😁🇵🇭
You said WOW many times and praise BGC and Makati a lot so I was impressed with this video, good looking handsome American guy, that's why I submissively subscribed to your channel 😂. Thank you for your good narratives glorifying the Philippines. Keep doing it and you will gain a lot of views and subscribers of course money too I guess so you can go to Boracay, Cebu, Moalboal, Tagaytay, Camiquin, El Nido, Coron, Malapascua, Nacpan, Baguio and Balabac, many more beautiful places in the Philippines 🇵🇭
Thank you 🙏🏼
Try to visit BGC, Bonifacio Global City.
Qek quek from the sond of the duck quack quack. it's a duck's egg.
Closer to where you are now, try to visit the Manila American Memorial, It’s huge beautiful and peaceful. Highly recommended. Don’t miss it.
rent a car and drive around north of metro manila and visit random beaches, then once your done head south of luzon of course more beaches lol
Welcome sir ....😊
Nice Bro!!

It is the city of Taguig not Manila

❤❤❤
Go to quiapo and ermita manila.
Every city in the Philippines wants to become like BGC. Alabang, Bacolod, Cebu, Cavite to name a few.
Welcome sir
The pulse of the city comes from the people and Filipino people yo ill meet in Manila. Go to Rizal Park, Ariceros, Intramuros, Liwasang Bonifacio, Pasig Esplanade, Fort Santiago and Chinatown. See how the people really are.
its KWEK KWEK and not quick quick. It is Hard Boiled Quail Eggs covered with orange batter.
🥰🥰🥰
Done subscribed ❤
Love quick quick live that❤
Makati and BGC have that western vibe thats why most yuppies prefer living there. But retirees prefer the provincial setting with beaches and stuff
my office is just right there
Many tourists,dislike stay in big city. All they want go to some part provinces in the Philippines. To explore more,chill and amazed the nature😊
I'll give you some tips for recording and editing if you want-there’s a huge difference between your first video and this one, and that matters a lot. If you’re interested, I’m happy to help. I’m doing this because you’re helping put our country on the map, showing its beauty through fresh eyes. Even though it’s not the safest time to visit due to the rising crime rate, I really appreciate what you're doing
Even your shorts have great potential, but that Opus Clip watermark is really annoying. Plus, UA-cam’s AI sometimes avoids recommending videos with visible watermarks, so that could hurt your reach
And you need to work on your thumbnails too! Thumbnails play a huge role in UA-cam’s algorithm and can make a big difference in getting more clicks and views

@@RealTommySal done
@@RealTommySalBe aware of scammers who massage you
BGC or Makati of MANILA is really similar to downtown core of Melbourne, AUSTRALIA
New subscriber here.
Thank you!
evrybody said that they didnt expect when they first arrive coz there are lots spreading negative news in the internet about the city thats why they skipping manila!
The entire Metro Manila is not Tondo.
@@francisthegreat4064 thats true, that small image in manila, reflected the whole 17 cities of metro manila which is unfair
foreign tourist are first going to Manila before going to the beautiful islands province of Philippines because Manila is the most modern places in the Philippines
@@RoselHole
That's why Metro Manila must be presentable. No beggars nor homeless people must be seen around Metropolitan Manila.
Why ya’ll surprised at how some areas in the PH looks like? You expect it to be only farms or filled with shanties???
It’s pronounced kwek kwek not quick quick. It’s quail eggs with a batter
Your introductiion should have been..."I am in Makati City in METRO Manila". The City of Manila (on its own) and Makati City are just two out of 16 cities and 1 municipality that comprises Metropolitan Manila (National Capitol Region (NCR)). FYI.
Fyi, Philippines is not a 3rd world country anymore, Philippines now is a 2nd world country Philippines is on track to become 1st world country because of booming economy of Philippines
You are high on shabu to make such a ridiculous claim. The PHL is a fourth-world country at best. Laziest people on the planet. Full of scams and scammers. Every Pinoy thinks someone owes them something.
LMAO, you don’t go from 3rd world to 2nd world. These terms are outdated cold war era terms. 1st world = US-aligned countries; 2nd world = Soviet-aligned countries; 3rd world = non-aligned countries.
@@envillain
That's right. A lot of people think that the 3-world model is about the level of economic progress of countries instead of alliances either with the US or with the former USSR during the Cold War. In fact, the Philippines has always been a 1st world country because of its strong alliance with the US as demonstrated by the long-standing defense treaty between the two countries.
The PH, even if it will no longer be considered a 3rd world country, cannot become a 2nd world economy since 2nd world countries are those economically progressive AND non-democratic societies. 1st world on the other hand refer to those that are economically powerful and democratic countries. So PH like other developing economies in Southeast Asia, is in limbo under this old typology.
@@RonaldResuello-gf6yz based on the international economist today Philippines is specified as 2nd world country because The Philippines is considered one of the most dynamic economies in the East Asia and Pacific region and a fast developing country on earth..Philippines surpassed the the 3rd world country stage so Philippines now is heading to advance economy or 1st world country
Most foreign vloggers always says that makati or bgc looks like not in Manila or PH. And it's like any US city, seems standard script. It's so exhausting to hear that! BGC and Makati are in PH period no ifs no buts.
I'm tired of seeing a click bait caption "I was not expecting this" what do u think about us, then?? can't y'all hungry for views travel vloggers think of an original caption?
There’s no such thing as a Mall here in US,90% are closing out like a distanced memories! Lol
Yea bro, all the malls I’ve been to are all closed up stores and a vacant parking lot.
Isa na namang foreigner na feeling nya ignorante mga pinoy..kunwari mangha sila para magsubscribe mga generous na pinoy....anu pwede itawag sa mga ganitong foreign vloggers?
Totoo uhaw sa clout HAHAHA
Clout yang mga yan. Di dapat suportahan. Ginagawang tanga at ignorante mga pinoy ahahahaa
New sub❤❤❤ welcome
You are city boy😅
Kuek kuek is a quail egg
Question with honest answer pls..
"What do you expect about the Philippines before coming In?!..
..this line ,"I did not expect this is the Philippines"!...it has become among first time traveller a cliche ,a condenscending reaction..in baiting Pinoys attention!
Human Ears 😂😂😂😂
I don't understand this condescending attitude----- were you expecting dirty muddy streets ----- an underdeveloped (gasp!) 'Third World' ( is that term still acceptable?) country ----- and not a modern bustling metropolis attuned to the 21st century? What about Singapore? Tokyo? Bangkok? Kuala Lumpur? Do you think they are underdeveloped places?
Not a third world country
Not Maynila is like Makati and Bonifacio Global City which not a City
Yes Manila is a city inside Metro Manila, the megalopolis of the Philippines. Not all Filipinos are POOR and SERVANTS, that is why you're amazed seeing those places like BGC. We're far from being like Africa. You can also shop a Ferrari, Lamborghini or buy your wife an Hermes and Louis Vuitton bag here 😊
Poor Filipinos mostly came from the island of Mindanao, the least developed among the 3 main island. You should visit that also.
Mindinao is on my list :)
@RealTommySal yes you should go there, actually the famous Siargao Island is part of Mindanao but it is in the northern most and not attached to the mainland.
Human ears?😂🤣😅
Then show the rest of Manila and not makati which is completely different…
Watch my other videos :)
@ we both know that makati is only for rich people 😅🤷🏽♂️
Looks boring there. Where's the dancing gals?
Go away pervert
At night there are plenty of that in makati and BGC :)
Human ears?
A lot of vloggers just came to see the Philippines and brag about how their countries are better than the Philippines.
Some of them doesn’t even respect the people while enjoying the hospitality of its people.
Enjoy Philippines.. You may also Visit Iloilo and experience the food and river walks
