Filipino people are straight to the point. When people ask where you are going, don't be alarmed that they will follow you. They're just trying to help how to get to your destination.
Yeah, just some cultural differences I guess.. but I understand now she was trying to be nice, but also I didn't know the name of the location that time😁
Nahhhh not always … im a filo and i can say that there are so many scammers out there specially in manila… 100 pesos for a tricycle is too much … you can book a joyride motorbike for only 50 pesos with that distance

Walking around Manila’s busy streets with a suitcase while vlogging (and taking the public transport too) is actually pretty brave. 😂 have a safe travel Kevin ❤
Been taking the MRT for while but never heard of exit 4 😂, the lady guard was confused herself. Noticed that she and the gentleman was asking where you are heading; this is to point you to the right direction; they are not nosy, this is just how many locals give direction, some will even suggest how to go to your destination such as what public transpo to take and the likes. Example, if you answer say Pasig, they will tell you proly to exit to the other side etc.......Enjoy your stay and be safe.
@@Kevin-Travelswe Filipinos don't mind google, directions and instructions but we ask and ask everyone along the way right or left corner to our directiion 😂😂😂 It's how we travel our archipelagic Philippines actually yeah 😂 when we are lost we just go back to point A ahhahahaha Good luck sir. Enjoy the fun and being lost too but we survived since Magellan came to town. 😂😂😂😂
To survive using the public transpo, you shouldn't just rely on google maps. The transpo system in the country is not that well established for google maps to accurately lay out. You have to communicate and ask the locals and they will give you the correct direction that you needed. Even locals in the Philippines still ask one another for directions. It's normal for Filipinos to ask you where you are going because they wanna help you.
I hope they fixed our transport especially the trains from first to have in Southeast Asia to being left behind but its good that they have new projects regarding in and LRT Cavite extension phase 1 just open too waiting for the subway thou
We're not being "left behind" when we have 4 metro rails, 1 subway, and a 200km inter-regional rail being constructed simultaneously, and another 600km being already planned
@@herrkommandank675 correction most of them are still under construction especially the subway plus our neighbors are up to on bullet train meanwhile us cant even have the mindanao railway project that has been pending for the last last year
@@herrkommandank675 transportation are bad in the country u have to wake so early only to be late theres no shame in admitting that we left behind because we truly are if we weren't then the numbers don't lie compare bankok transpo to metromanila compare singapore to transportation to manila even Vietnam they're catching up so fast
The way that lady at the station dashed those coins in one smooth motion was very “casino-esque” I think we all know what her former job was 😂 LRT 2 is literally the only train line that is at a decent pleasant standard. The others (MRT 3 which you were on and LRT 1) are run like buses. If you go to Antipolo (one of the quiet highland havens just outside of Manila with good views of the Metro) you can use LRT 2 and see the contrast between the grey urban areas and the greenery of the suburbs and foothills of the Sierra Madre mountains. It sorta sucks because the working and middle classes here have to deal with all this bs on a daily basis. Which makes most people grouchy lol. Service, maintenance and upgrading stations and trains aren’t a thing here mostly. The Japanese are building a subway system in Metro Manila that should be completed in a few years so if you return then you’d be able to experience a decent transportation option for the metro.
You’re good in navigating where you gotta go. Sometimes google map is wrong and confusing. You are a smart tourist 💙 I don’t like seeing the tricycle or any transports scamming the tourists. They should be nice especially when they see you have a camera recording their dishonesty 😂
Hope you enjoy the Philippines even other people are in the bad mood hope you're not disappointed and feel regret coming in the Philippines, Enjoy your day!☺️
Exit 4? Never heard that one before when using MRT that’s why the ladyguard got confused with you. It’s always best to tell them where you are heading instead since the exits will only take you either to the left or right side of EDSA road. Also, please carry smaller bills for small businesses and transpo specially early in the day. Them changing your large bill will just cause them inconvenience scrambling for change to other customers.
She showed me directon of Exit 4, maybe she was confused why I don't tell where I'm going.. but it was long day and I had no idea myself.. Yeah I try to have small bills, but it also runs out quite quickly and usually in most shops if you give them 1000 they will ask if you have smaller notes..
i don't think anyone knows the exit numbers in the MRT station (didn't even know they existed!), that's why the guard asked where you were going. you can give the general area and they can tell you which side to exit
Exit numbers are actually really helpful. If you follow maps you will know them, haha. Really handy to use them in foreign country, because when I had right exit, I also had right direction right away. I guess it's not so common here as I didn't notice any signage neither, but on google maps it was listed and guard also knew where it was.
Perhaps yeah, I did notice also that she did it to other person, I never thought it was tourist treatment, but maybe she was upset or who knows maybe she just works like that without any bad feelings behind it😁😁
Living in southern Metro Manila, I've never been to the northern district, particularly Shaw, assuming it's just corporate entities and the usuals, but I could be wrong. Various townships were built as a respite from the metro's wild chaos, and BGC is an interesting perspective of the city. It's worth spending a visit there before heading to the beaches. There are affordable dining options in BGC, and Food District on 5th Ave. offers good meals. The kiosks at Market Market are of mediocre quality.
Actually, not just foreign tourist, even us local they will set a price for transportation, and they do that specially if the destination is hard to get to even if it is a short distance, the up charge is more like an additional convenience fee or something. So, we tend to avoid it at all costs specially if you have the time to get there however, if the person is going to work and it the traffic is heavy and they might be going to be late, they don't have a choice and they are force to avail that service. 😮💨
Mandaluyong some condos or hotels maybe cheaper but it's worth the place and still a business district like SM Megamall and Robinsons 😂 Most convenient for EDSA train from north to south then to LRT 2 then to LRT 1. Got it? 😂😂
@@Kevin-Travels yeah right shaw blvd is almost connected to Ortigas center then to Araneta (cubao) center then to Trinoma and Eton center then to SM North EDSA (biggest SM now)
Hey brother, what's up? Please do take care, and I must say that it's a totally different vibe there in Manila, and you need a lot of patience. Thank you for visiting Baguio, and I hope you can come and stay again real soon. God bless you and enjoy your journeys. 🙏😊

Just avoid tricycles and taxis as they are associated with scams. Besides the train, buses can be quite safe once you understand the complexities. Grab is the most convenient and safest option and worth the amount. Don't torture yourself. Metro Manila is vast and chaotic, making it difficult to navigate even for residents like me who have seldom been to other districts apart from my own. It's wise to remain in one area closest to your planned destinations.
Yeah, in some areas tricycles are good. They charge everyone 50 for ride. Yeah trains, buses and jeepneys.. but its a bit complex as foreigner sometimes. 😁
@@d.l.c7456he gets to wherever his going its not horrible people are just OA .in other part of asia specialy none english speaking country he could've lost.
1:33 80 pesos for me is personally the cheapest one so far, since you're basically paying for 4 people if you're going solo on the tricycle. but props to you for just walking it out 😂
If you can just use the Grab app every time for max convenience. Tricycles do not have normally have a fixed rate so there is really some haggling involved. Unfortunately, even for us locals, we need to negotiate with these tricycle and, oftentimes, cab drivers every time in the Metro Manila.
Yeah, I mean there are also moments when it's easy and then you meet this kind of guys who are super aggressive with pricing... Grab can be pricey too at times, I have used inDrive I think its cheaper usually?
@@Kevin-Travels coz these small transport do make a living too they just earn at minimum that's for a whole day till night work for their family so they offer about times 2 or 3 for their price It's also a pitty for them to earn a living under hard and harse way but to scam their passengers yeah But when feel they are good persons so we give in and offer tips too
That looks survival, kidding aside even me as a local tired enough of commuting this very congested city. If not for work I wouldn’t dare myself to go out there 😂
Actually, only the LRT Line 1 employs such exit numbering system with corresponding signages. While the other lines namely LRT Line 2 and MRT Line 3, does not use such system. But for LRT Line 2, however, it always have 2 exits namely North Entrance and South Entrance that are clearly written in signages.
Fun Fact: If you ride Manila MRT its like riding Eastern European trams because its made by a Czech company ČKD Tatra (Českomoravska Kolben - Danek). Its twin is in Brno, Czechia 🇨🇿
Google maps for transportation in the Philippines is not updated because we don’t have a centralized transportation system here 😅 it’s best to ask locals
Grab offers motorbike services. Just a reminder, if you're traveling from Shaw to the airport and taking a Grab car via the Skyway, you will need to pay the toll fee.
@@Kevin-Travels In addition to Grab, Angkas and JoyRide are well-known motorcycle taxi services. You can opt for any of these if one is not available.
unfortunately signages in mrt stations are not tourist friendly 😅 i agree that exits should be labeled and there should be a map of the locality showing the exits and establishments nearby
@@kilometer6712 Fair enough, but it would also help locals who travel from other parts of Philippines. They would benefit from making stations more effective and reducing pointless security screenings over there that cause bottlenecks over there. I felt that's the reason why it was over crowded there.
You could have say your building or street and you dont get confused. trying to figure out and people in the Philippines are the most helpful if you ask them directions full detailed directions given.
Try to have smaller bills with you. Even here in the US, it is outrightly written in most of the till ' no change over $20'. And anyways here in the US many uses credit cards. But in the Philippines cash is King.
@@Kevin-Travels if you're from MRT 3 Shaw stn take Cubao stn then transfer to LRT 2 towards west and you'll be in University Belt district and Malacañang Palace in Recto ave. 😂 or going to east LRT2 from Cubao stn then you'll be in Antipolo city our nearest MM mountains Rizal province yeah 😂
@@Kevin-Travels yeah maybe November of the year is actually our worst typhoon season either Luzon Visayas or Mindanao region depending where it would go. Hope December is better nah But maybe july - October it's for Batanes directions hitting Taiwan and China too yeah it's actually the strongest route for early season of typhoons and if you go Batanes you'll see their old stone homes. The way their ancestors had built the houses yeah ive not been there only in pictures that i saw it
I agree with u not riding the tricycle they always put high price even to locals thats why id rather walk to lol but in province it wasnt like that only in metro manila where they cost u for high that u can just walk in to
150 is fair price for me sir that's only 2 dollar and someone saying is only 10 minutes walk will you ever get that price from western or European country for only 2 dollar if this is in America they gonna charge you almost 20 to 30 dollar already
5 minute ride for 150pesos(3$) is very expensive in Philippines. Half would have been fair price, usually would even get cheaper I think. I rather walk personally that pay that high price. I would only save 5minutes anyway if I would drive instead of walk.
@@Kevin-Travelstricycles are for 2-3 passengers,if you'll ride it alone you'll be charge as 2-3 passenger,no matter how long the distance.Those Toda (tricycle association)members are doing this.The unregistered,without franchise will charge you less if you can find one.
Ikson you can search in youtube he makes music he is from sweden, but you're from estonia i thought you were his brother because you look like him, ehh.
Well if you ride the train at 6 am till 8 am in the morning really busy. Then 4:30 to 8:00 in the evening. So remember to ride at 9 am to 3 pm then it's not.
@Kevin-Travels ah ok I was thinking of the LRT 1 not MRT 3. Yeah MRT 3 tend to be busy all the time because of the 3 busiest commercial areas Ortigas and Makati and North Edsa.
She showed me direction torwards exit 4, it was confusing for me when she asked where I'm going as I was not sure yet myself. Just followed map with address😅
@@Kevin-Travels I guess Google numbers them but we don’t really use them in real life. That’s why even the staff were confused. I think that’s something that can be improved on the MRT management.
@@Kevin-Travels as I said above we Filipinos don't use signages or instructiions we use mouth for asking directions and sometimes got lost anyway Lool 😂 8:24
@@Kevin-Travels nope. it's rude to throw that coins that way. MRT is government transport she must be taught the right manner 😂😂😂 lool she is not a worker in casino 😂
Sometimes it's fine to take the trike, but it's just you want honest driver who is not overly greedy. If he gave me 80P at the beginning I would use his services, but his greed made him lose the ride.😊

This is in no way close of an experience to even the worst tram station in Europe.
Google maps for transportation in the Philippines is not updated because we don’t have a centralized transportation system here 😅 it’s best to ask locals
It works, but just missing signs was the biggest issue in that station
I like this content, streets of.manila, QC, mrt, if you can honSM MALLS and Divisoria malls thisxmas holidays I will watched also
Next destination, Cebu, Bohol, camiguin and siargao route please via ferry ⛴️
Haha, maybe👀
keep safe on your travels kevin
Thanks, I will ❤️🥰
They ask you where you going so they can give you proper directions. Sometimes no one knows where exit 4 is.
Yeah I understand now, it's just cultural differences I need to learn.
Hey bud, try going to the walled city of intramuros. It will literally take you back in time. I can show you around if youd like
That's good idea, i give it a check when im around there. Haha, very kind to offer 👍🏼
Grab offers motorbike services. Just a reminder, if you're traveling from Shaw to the airport and taking a Grab car via the Skyway, you will need to pay the toll fee.
Oh i never knew grab offers bike service, i thought only cars
@@Kevin-Travels In addition to Grab, Angkas and JoyRide are well-known motorcycle taxi services. You can opt for any of these if one is not available.
If Filipinos ask you where are you going, they just want to help direct you and not something else. Just tell the street or store etc.
Yeah I understand now, I didn't really know the name of it. So Just followed the maps
Man how long you stay here in ph people here are so friendly and happy they can talk English
I will stay about 1 month more, then explore around some other places and then come back to Philippines later.
@Kevin-Travels that's good man appreciate it 😊
@@LloydTaray-bt7ho My pleasure 😊
nice view is amazing
Yes view was highlight of that place😀
We do not have exit 4 you could have say exactly where are you going
Check the maps, exit 4 is there Shaw Boulevard on gmaps. 😊 Exit system is actually really helpful, I've used it a lot before
unfortunately signages in mrt stations are not tourist friendly 😅 i agree that exits should be labeled and there should be a map of the locality showing the exits and establishments nearby
Absolutely not, some signage would be helpful indeed!👍🏼😁
It's because Philippines govt or DoT thinks foreign tourirsts won't ride MRTs hahahahh
@@kilometer6712 Fair enough, but it would also help locals who travel from other parts of Philippines. They would benefit from making stations more effective and reducing pointless security screenings over there that cause bottlenecks over there. I felt that's the reason why it was over crowded there.
@@Kevin-Travels yeah caused by only one reason: intelligence, lack or none of it ahhhahahahh
You could have say your building or street and you dont get confused. trying to figure out and people in the Philippines are the most helpful if you ask them directions full detailed directions given.
Yeah, well for me it sounds more confusing as there are so many buildings. But anyway she knew where exit 4 was, it helped😊
Visit also our huge Mall og ASIA in pasay
Will do🥰
next time stay in my condo in BGC with me. I'm on prep.
Hahaha, that's very kind, but i would need to know you a bit better to do that. Prep?
Try to have smaller bills with you. Even here in the US, it is outrightly written in most of the till ' no change over $20'. And anyways here in the US many uses credit cards. But in the Philippines cash is King.
Cash surely is King in 🇵🇭🥰 I try, but they also run out quickly
Done subscribing.
Me appreciate❤️🤗
U stepdown in MRT-Shaw station..u buy lemon juice...there is a hotel there besides that lemon juice siomai store..BERMUDA HOTEL
BAGUIO, STILL THE BEST!!! 😎
Haha, Baguio is special place🥰
take care always when you walk you cn walk ang use jeep tricycle vcan charge you more😂
Yeah it was just short walk so not too bad, only annoying thing was my 20kg luggage haha😀😀
USA:be like some times normal music
philippines:christmas songs nonstop😂 10:06
Haha, ive heard😁😁 Filipinos are hyped about Christmas lol
Visit China Town Manila
Enjoy. ❤
Good idea🥰🥰
Keep safe Kevin
I appreciate it🥰🥰
Try light rail transit next
From what station😊
@@Kevin-Travels if you're from MRT 3 Shaw stn take Cubao stn then transfer to LRT 2 towards west and you'll be in University Belt district and Malacañang Palace in Recto ave. 😂 or going to east LRT2 from Cubao stn then you'll be in Antipolo city our nearest MM mountains Rizal province yeah 😂
@@kilometer6712 Interesting😊should try LRT soon
Baguio is the best place to stay.
Baguio is special place for sure! 🥰 I definitely go back next time
@@Kevin-Travels don't go there yet coz of parade of typhoons hitting north luzon yeah
@@kilometer6712 yeah... its been under bad weather for a while now..
@@Kevin-Travels yeah maybe November of the year is actually our worst typhoon season either Luzon Visayas or Mindanao region depending where it would go. Hope December is better nah
But maybe july - October it's for Batanes directions hitting Taiwan and China too yeah it's actually the strongest route for early season of typhoons and if you go Batanes you'll see their old stone homes. The way their ancestors had built the houses yeah ive not been there only in pictures that i saw it
Taking the elevator was a good decision, that MRT station is High AF
haha it surely is :D
welcome to the urban jungle of Manila...
Haha, thanks for welcome 😁
Try to Visit Iloilo Kevin and experience Esplanades and Destibe walk at night
Sounds good🥰
I agree with u not riding the tricycle they always put high price even to locals thats why id rather walk to lol but in province it wasnt like that only in metro manila where they cost u for high that u can just walk in to
Yeah, like im not paying 150 to save 5minutes, I do enjoy walking too😁
i notice you have accent, where are you from, sounds slavic
I do yeah, small country in Europe 🇪🇪
the straw is not strawing 😂
Hahaha, thats funny 🤣
You have another utube chanel...
Yeah😊 it's fresh start
150 is fair price for me sir that's only 2 dollar and someone saying is only 10 minutes walk will you ever get that price from western or European country for only 2 dollar if this is in America they gonna charge you almost 20 to 30 dollar already
5 minute ride for 150pesos(3$) is very expensive in Philippines. Half would have been fair price, usually would even get cheaper I think. I rather walk personally that pay that high price. I would only save 5minutes anyway if I would drive instead of walk.
@@Kevin-Travelstricycles are for 2-3 passengers,if you'll ride it alone you'll be charge as 2-3 passenger,no matter how long the distance.Those Toda (tricycle association)members are doing this.The unregistered,without franchise will charge you less if you can find one.
@@ronnie.a.0715 . He paid 71 pesos for a taxi in Baguio that is good for 4 passengers. Bro has comparison.
i agree...i find it so annoying that this guy complains about the cost of a cheap ride. you're right about the 20 to 30$...and i wouldve paid $5
Try to avoid to ride trycicle bro, because some drivers in manila are abusive for price
Yeah some are like this, but some also good. 👍🏼
@@Kevin-Travels stay safe bro and enjoy the Philippines
Ikson you can search in youtube he makes music he is from sweden, but you're from estonia i thought you were his brother because you look like him, ehh.
Oh lol, that guy okay. Maybe maybe, but funny thing i have used his music for videos in past😀😀so yeah I know his music actually
i know you are smart foreigner...theirs nothing to do in manila actually.try to visit some of the island like boracay or palawan isand.
Well there is always something to see everywhere😁 but i know what you mean
🤙🏼
🤗🤗
Well if you ride the train at 6 am till 8 am in the morning really busy. Then 4:30 to 8:00 in the evening.
So remember to ride at 9 am to 3 pm then it's not.
Yeah, i think i was there around 2:30 so.. maybe not extremely busy yet, but felt already so busy for me😆😆😅
@Kevin-Travels ah ok I was thinking of the LRT 1 not MRT 3. Yeah MRT 3 tend to be busy all the time because of the 3 busiest commercial areas Ortigas and Makati and North Edsa.
@@Siopaoko Oh okay LRT 😊
Pls vlog burger comparizon of 150 jolibee, big mac of.mcdonalds, and Whooper of Burger King ..honest review
Haha, Jollibee video surely coming😁😁
❤❤❤❤🇰🇼
🥰🥰🥰❤️
The MRT Entrances and Exits are not numbered btw that’s why the lady guard gave you a confused look and asked where you were headed instead.
She showed me direction torwards exit 4, it was confusing for me when she asked where I'm going as I was not sure yet myself. Just followed map with address😅
You can check on gmaps, exits are numbered. But maybe signage is missing.
@@Kevin-Travels I guess Google numbers them but we don’t really use them in real life. That’s why even the staff were confused. I think that’s something that can be improved on the MRT management.
@@Kevin-Travels as I said above we Filipinos don't use signages or instructiions we use mouth for asking directions and sometimes got lost anyway Lool 😂 8:24
Big difference people of baguio and manila,
Yeah there is a contrast surely In Manila have to be more careful😊
hahaha goodluck, hope you get-out of it alive 🙂
😁😁😁rough journey
Be careful in taking the public transport.
Thanks, I always am🤗
wait are you gymson? both of you look the same
Haha, same😁👀
i wish you could meet my mom, she's single and gorgeous 😅😅
Lool😁😁😁 I believe she is
like your videos new subs here
Thanks for subbing 🥰❤️
Done watching and subscribe
Thanks for subbing ❤️🤗
She tossed the change maybe because she didn’t like the camera or she’s having a bad day.😅😅😅
Not only to me, I think she just probably works like that. Maybe more efficient/faster I don't know, but kinda looks rough 😅
@@Kevin-Travels nope. it's rude to throw that coins that way. MRT is government transport she must be taught the right manner 😂😂😂 lool she is not a worker in casino 😂
Do not ride if they offer you... use the app so you are sure of the price.. joyride.
Sometimes it's fine to take the trike, but it's just you want honest driver who is not overly greedy. If he gave me 80P at the beginning I would use his services, but his greed made him lose the ride.😊
Hello 👋
Hello 👋🥰
visit MOA let's eat some bunch of foods.
Yeahh, will be going there😋😋
