The Daily Struggles of a COMMUTER | What it's Like to commute in Manila, the Philippines' capital

#commuterlife #commute #rushhour #commutinginmanila #traffic
Today's video, I am going to show you how my day-to-day commuting is like especially now that our schools are now face to face & Offices are now RTO or Returning to office. I currently reside in Manila and my work is in Makati. Manila traffic can be very drastic especially on a rush hour. I work on a night shift so most of the time I get to beat rush hour, but luckily on this video, I still get to show you how cramped our train can be.
I hope you liked our video, please leave me a comment down below on how commuting can be for you in your area.

Thank you for insight into Manila commuting, it is difficult. Hang in there!

[@emilg9496]

Thank you for this video. This difficult commute was a "counter flow" (going to office 8 pm and going home in the morning). Imagine if one is going to office in the morning

[@cassyrellz]

Glad you liked the video ❣️

[@FireDTB]

Thank you for this! ❤

[@cassyrellz]

Amazing vlog Cassy 😊.
Now I know why Filipinos are very hard working .
You're an absolute trooper and I thought my 1.5 hrs drive to work was too much 😂😅.
Much love to you and hubby from Australia ❤

[@cassyrellz]

I'm glad you liked my video. Thank you so much! 🥰

THIS is why i started bike commuting. Then i got myself a ebike which made my commute faster and better

[@cassyrellz]

I agree. With our commuting situation it's better to have a some kind of vehicle of your own.

[@KaningLamigin]

Thank you for this video. I also used to work nights in makati, so sobrang naka relate ako dito hahaha
Nowadays I work from home and seeing this made me appreciate my current work situation even more. I didn't hate commuting though and like you said, Makati si beatiful even at night so nakaka miss din mag commute to/from makati.

[@cassyrellz]

Truee, It's easy to commute at night, no rush hours or traffic. But in the morning, thats the real struggle talaga. huhuhu

[@matcha1372]

Wow I live in America (Boston) and have never ever seen public transport that crowded in America. Ever! That's crazy how everyone is literally squeezed in, pushed up against other bodies. But great that they give y'all a women's section. It would be so awful and dangerous if women had to be pushed up against men's bodies. Your vlog is cool, I like seeing how different it is compared to America.

[@cassyrellz]

Wow it's great that my video reached you. I'm so happy. Thanks for sharing your insights

[@ojaswijoshi4337]

I left the Philippines because of the horrible traffic and pollution. Philippines is 50 yrs behind when it comes to infrastructures and public transit system. When I was working in the Philippines I spent more hours commuting than at my work and it was very bad on my health. I am living and working now in Canada. However, I still miss home (not the traffic). Maybe someday when the Philippines improves its public transit system...I will go back in the Philippines. For now, I will enjoy the reliable and stress free commute to work here in my adopted country.

[@cassyrellz]

True

[@pinakapanget4560]

I'm sorry nahihirapan kayo sa commute. Bayani po kayo. I enjoyed the video.

[@cassyrellz]

Salamat po ❤❤

The Philippines is wasting 3.4B dollar as in dollar everyday in Metro Manila on just traffic alone according to JICA studies, the reason why they proposed subway trains back in early 2000s. This only became reality when President Duterte was elected and started construction the Metro Manila Subway Trains.

Hello po what camera do you use po?

[@cassyrellz]

Iphone 11 lang po 💓

Ancient and outdated...

[@tukaidas1272]

Why manila chose light rail instead of 8 car set metro subway or elveted metro transit
🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@cassyrellz]

we have two types, Light rail transit and metro rail transit

[@larryjones4760]

subway was still underconstruction
