@@jerbysanto Why not!

Good job Mergim. You are the first vlogger to showcase the connecting bridges of Ayala malls, plus the BGC Bus and its routes. So educational. You made a very wise decision to stay in BGC. Keep vlogging.
You can also use those BeepCards on MRT & LRT trains & P2P buses as well! You can just buy & reload those BeepCards on any MRT/LRT train stations & P2P bus terminals.
Mergim, just a suggestion: please feature the Christmas lights along Ayala Avenue at nightime, when all lights are on. Only snippets are shown in newscasts. Perhaps an extensive feature, I just think plenty will be interested to know the extent of the lights. Include also the ones in Ayala Triangle. Just a suggestion though. I love your vlogs. I watch your vlog everyday.
I’ve been watching Mergims vlogs, because he gives clear and complete information on various things. He’s like a good reporter. I just realized that I was not subscribed. So I am now subscribed. Be sure to check if you are subscribed.
BGC buses have been around for several years now. Nothing new except the new routes and extended routes, hours including weekend and holiday hours. They try to make it convenient and accessible to everyone living in the area as well they are trying to copy the transportation system they have in some U.S. cities and in Canada.
There's a new intermodal terminal in Makati that was recently opened called 'One Ayala Terminal' which I think is right below that One Ayala Mall right at the corner of Ayala Avenue and EDSA. It serves as the Ayala stop of the EDSA Busway system. The One Ayala Terminal is a transport hub offering three terminals that serve southbound buses, PUVs and modern jeepneys.
Mergim you can be a barangay captain of the BGC you are very much oriented the place people knew you and you have developed connection with the locals and the residences BGC is already your play ground meeting with friends. have fun, relaxing that's BGC life in the Philippines.
That Ayala Mall is the brand new One Ayala bus terminal which connects Makati to the southern outskirts of Metro Manila, including the provinces of Laguna, Batangas and Quezon Province (not Quezon City which is different). It was inaugurated I think last week.
The road under the walkway is called Makati Ave and not Ayala Ave. You can ride a jeep with route Washington - Ayala to go the the bus terminal. From there, you can now ride the BGC bus going back to BGC. Look ko the North route (till Uptown) or Central (till Market-Market) or Upper East (till High Street) or Lower West (will past the side of High Street).
Mergim If you're into cars, you can check out the 2022 Manila Auto Salon happening at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City between November 24 and November 27.
I'm thankful Mergim for this info it helps us a lot for those working and commuters like us thank you so much our BGC Ambassador. God Bless you! ❤️❤️❤️
Its because of Mergims vlog that I got to know how comfortable commuting from Bgc to Makati is. I also hope Mergim vlogs about going to Arca and Alabang via these buses and the PNR train. Mergim you will love Alabang you will feel like you're in a first world country. Lastly, because of Mergim I got to be aware of pick up coffee. I just ignored it before he came
Looks like a lot of your subscribers are hoping to see you every time they are in BGC.🙂 You should start a "Catch Mergim" game and the first person to meet you get a free Pick Up coffee.😁😁😁
Mergim -- Well, when I visit Manila and stay in Makati, I'll take the BGC bus to Uptown, hoping to bump into you. But meanwhile, I'm in winter here. Wishing for a hot muggy day.
Landmark’s basement has a large food court and grocery. Glorietta’s food hall has a lot of fantastic food selection. There’s also the Green Frog hybrid bus from PITX, DFA, Mall of Asia with several stops in Makati (along Buendia & Ayala) and BGC. The Beep Card also works in MRT, LRT and several northbound and southbound EDSA buses.
Mergim!!! My friend and I went to Uptown yesterday I asked her to join me hoping that we would be able to see you around but we didn't 😭 we also went to market market before uptown but still I didn't see you there 😔 anyways thanks for the new vlog. Good morning 🌅
Mergim you have definitely adapted to life in BGC! Your vlogs are informative and resourceful, even to foreign visitors staying in the area. I love these kind of vlogs. Thanks!
SM edsa is the first SM in the Philippines...I remember that we include SM edsa in my study back 4 years ago...I love studying their company profile as part in our study😍
I used to walk there from work and going to the bus stop in Edsa. It’s a long walk but you get amused with the different malls/stores you walked by. Amused then broke 😂 temptations!!!😆❤️
That bus route is just a stop gap. A BGC-MAKATI-MOA subway route was first planned but they finally decided to build first the Metro Manila Subway from Valenzuela to NAIA passing BGC, McKinley Hill & Ortigas which is under construction now. Therefore the subway connection of ORTIGAS (2 stations) & BGC /McKinley Hill will come first (before 2026) before the subway connection of BGC & Makati. However, the Makati SUBWAY which is under construction too will connect the Western end of Ayala Ave (Buendia) to Guadalupe & northern end of BGC
Megaworld also applied for a monorail project from Uptown to Guadalupe but no greenlight from the authorities yet. In effect, Guadalupe WILL in the future become the central point of the major transport routes - subway, monorail, river ferry, MRT- making the 3 major CBDs of Makati, Ortigas & BGC- connected
SM was originally called ShoeMart. It started out as a small store in the now moribund downtown Manila (Santa Cruz area) but has since become a real estate behemoth (obviously).
Glad ur back ur last video in Thailand was only 5 k- the 1st vlog you posts after Thailand is already 20 k . Filipinos are savage. Lol they don’t like to watch other places 😂😂😂
Nah, some of us just don't have the time to watch all of Mergim's vlogs. I haven't even had the chance to watch half of his Philippine vlogs, lol! Let's just trust the Thai people to watch & support Mergim's Thai travel vlogs! I've actually watched 4 of his recent Thai travel vlogs and some of his Indian vlogs as well!
@@rm_alfaro there is only one reason why he moved to the Philippines …. More views with Philippine content and that’s a fact. My fav video was his rant video why he left Thailand. 🤣🤣🤣
@@miami3479 it's now very common for foreign vloggers, especially those who have very low numbers of subscribers to include the Philippines in their vlogging journey for two very obvious reasons: views and subscribers. It's no coincidence that several foreign vloggers have made the Philippines their second home precisely because of these reasons.
Shoemart Makati opened in 1963, the third store of Shoemart, I believe, the first two being in the city of Manila. That was the time when Shoemart was just selling shoes. Shoemart was re-christened SM in 1975.
MERGIM im glad i subscribe to your chanel since you came in the philippines from thailand. I thought b4 you are just a typical vlogger wjo goes to a new place and try to captivate viewers just to get people to subscribe to yoy and leave as soon they got what they want. Your vlogs shows the streetsides of place and give infos to people the tricks, and hotspots etc to give convenience to those daily commuters or local tourist tips and advices wc is a better option. Im from Davao city but im working in Dubai since 2013. And the path from market2x to sm ayala glorietta landmark to greenbelt brings back memories. I use to live in that area for 2yrs. Thanks for makng this vlog. It felt like i was transported back in 2011. Im so happy
i love greenbelt and glorieta and i shop my groceries in landmark whenever i come visit philippines.i own a condo in salcedo .thats why i tend to hang around in that area lol
Great information in this video! I will be staying in makati so it’s good to see I have public transport options to BGC/uptown. The comment section also has plethora of great information and tips
Thanks Mergim for sharing this awesome tip..planning to go to BGC on a commute this week and exactly what I need to go there from Ayala Mall...simply perfect..😊😊😊
Great video as usual! I can't believe you up haven't spent time in Makati malls. A few comments: 1. Bgc buses tend to have a lot of passengers during work days. A lot of folks do know about them hehe 2. The walkway you stood on (between landmark and greenbelt) is over Makati avenue. Which does connect to Ayala avenue 3. Beside greenbelt 5 you can hop on a bus that goes to Ayala town center (another mall) in Alabang. They accept your beep card :)
I guess you are now learning how to use the public transportation system of the Philippines. That is really cool. The BeepCard will come in handy; you can also use it to ride the MRT and LRT, as well as the P2P buses along EDSA.
Not for long. Some areas currently under construction might be better and bigger than BGC. Such as New Clark City, Georgia Iloilo, some part of Bulacan, and other places.
I'm with you on that; getting in and out of BGC during rush hour is always an ugly mess of a nightmare. A few years back, there was talk of plans for an underground transit system that would connect BGC, makati and MOA. If they ever getting around to building that out, it'll be one step in the right direction toward decongestion.
I used to watch you to see your reactions and maybe educate you on some things about the Philippines. But man, now you are educating me about my own country, jeezus.
Certainly enjoyed your video Mergim. I cannot immagine now BGC without a Mergim covering it. I remember your vlog in Antipolo when you entered that creepy cave.
GREENBELT.. WAS THERE. IN 1980... had german wurst at this German Resro.. I forgot the name.. across the pancake house.. mannn I am sooo old.. but Makati was so amazing... and my job near HOECHST bldg.. was also amazing.. missing the LOVE BUS.. HAHAHA AH YAHH THOSE WERE THE DAYS...
Here are some unsolicited Beep Card tips: ─ Beep has an app, you can check and top up your credit using your phone's NFC and pay through Gcash or Maya ─ Beep also works with LRT and MRT lines. Some stations are connected to more malls you haven't explored as of yet. ─ Some convenience stores can top up your card and some even accept your card credits as payment. Enjoy!
and from greenbelt 1 you can go to ayala town center in alabang and back via the direct P2P (point-2-point) buses. just an hour or so away and it's a whole different vibe over there
Basically the trip from BGC to Makati and vice versa is now available for just 13 pesos. And on a weekend, you can easily use the BGC Bus and drop off at Ayala Station, ride the MRT there, hop off in Cubao Station then boom, you're in Cubao and you can comeback to see what you previously wanted to visit there. All the CBD's are interconnected via MRT-LRT so if you really want to saved some cash to increase your revenue from bloggin then commuting is the key BUT on a WEEKDAY please keep in mind that 6 AM-8:30 AM and 5 PM - 9 PM is pretty much the RUSH hour for this public transportion and my oh my, I'm sure you know how frustrating the rush hour in Metro Manila is haha.
Well well what can i say. youve become a vlogger public transpo tourist guide. Great concept for all other new tourist visitors who are new in the areas around BGC and Makati. Kudos to you bro you're doing great and awesome.😎👍
From Uptown mall You can try the Kalayaan avenue route going to the entire stretch of Ayala Ave. just cross the street from Philplans building about 5 minutes walk from Uptown and ride the Shuttle van going to Ayala the opposite route takes You all the way to Antipolo City
I really enjoyed your videos 🙂 I’m also waiting for the EDSA carousel bus vlogs try to ride on Sunday to avoid crowds and also try coffee shops that serve Barako coffee and other authentic filipino dishes.
Another first from Mergim. You found a way to get from one place to another without spending a fortune a typical visitor will do. There’s actually a walkway from Greenbelt that connects all the buildings of Ayala Ave that stretches all the way to Makati Medical Center (where Ayala Ave ends) Good job!!
beep cards are cheaper on mrt/lrt stations, priced at 100 pesos (70 for load, 30 for card fee). it really is much more expensive buying those outside of the mrt/lrt, thankfully i bought my new one at mrt 3 cuz my old one expired

That's right. Makes it very convenient to move around. Hope they can expand it to other services, such as stores and fastfood shops.
You’re probably the first vlogger who did the bus transit from bgc to Ayala which I didn’t know, so thanks.
Mergim, just a suggestion: please feature the Christmas lights along Ayala Avenue at nightime, when all lights are on. Only snippets are shown in newscasts.

You could actually walk from SM Makati (EDSA Ayala) all the way to Makati Medical Center (the other end of Ayala Ave) without walking at ground level.
Yep pathway leads all the way to North Exchange and Makati med... That's why I like Makati because of the pathways are so easy to walk to
There's a new intermodal terminal in Makati that was recently opened called 'One Ayala Terminal' which I think is right below that One Ayala Mall right at the corner of Ayala Avenue and EDSA.
