  • I'm in Iloilo City, Philippines for the Dinagyang Festival, and I set out to try Filipino food before the Ati Tribe Competition on Sunday.
    I start with the iconic Lapaz Batchoy at Lapaz Market and then sample a few popular filipino food dishes at the Dinagyang Festival night market. What should I try next?

      Just came back in the Bay from Oahu and I’ve watched your videos when you’re in HI and I love it. 🤙🏼 I came across this video, and I must say that nothing beats the green mangoes of the Philippines. I bought some green mangoes in Waikiki since I haven’t had them in over 10 years but it didn’t taste like how I wanted it to taste. The rambutan was good and the santol but I still love our Philippine green mangoes. Just saying 🙌🏼🤙🏼🌺♥️ @garethleonard

    Awesome vlog, Gareth! Haha, looks like you had a bit of an adventure just trying to find the archery competition! So cool that you played a pickup game with the local kids. All of the food you tried looks delicious, especially the bangus! I just found your channel earlier this week (I binge watched pretty much all of your videos over a few days), and you're already one of my favorite travel vloggers. Your passion for what you do is so infectious, and it's always great to see vloggers like you who are always super kind and respectful of the countries you visit and the people you meet. That, plus the quality of your content, really sets you apart!

This brings some good ol memories. Thank you for visiting Iloilo.

    Thank you for visiting our city, though you have filmed this a while back, still thank you. You were able to reaally dig deep into the batchoy origin, although a few steps away from Netongs was our local version of starbucks... You could have enjoyed a brewed native coffee from a nearby stall, the Madge coffee shop...
    For the mangoes, we have different varieties, but I believe the one you had was the green mango, which is the unripe version of the Philippine mango. We often have that for snacks or appetizer than dessert...
    Thank you for visiting the City of Love, Iloilo City. Hope to see you again...

Iloilo is a great city , I’m was born thre in 1941 and know not much about the city except from my families who all had to be repatriated back to Japan right after the war.Being Half Japanese was hard for us to stay in the country but it is good to know how much this has changed.Many Japanese Filipino suffered the same fate due the war which could not be avoided.
