      you ever wonder why everybody seem to have something bad to say about other regions? this mentality is very tribal but seems to be a common cultural sin throughout the archipelago. the worst version of this though is how the northerners look down on the southerners. it's almost like we like to pick an arbitrary negative trait and then blow it up and use it to describe an entire group of people just because of where in the country they were born. i always found that strange and ugly but fascinating.

So far, you're the only one that is down to earth that can relate my fellow filipinos, you can easily win their hearts. More power to you as you continue to show traits of having a heart for pinoys. I'm a navy/army veteran living in California since Feb 1986 and watching your videos is very heartwarming. Other bloggers all they do is complain when you even slept in a cockroach infested hotel, I believe in you brother. Keep it up.

      Yeah, if some thugs in some hood in the Philippines want to tell people to leave, they should report those people. They could even hack them, and expose them, if they do it right. (;
      The guy they're telling to leave looks bigger than both of them. They probably resort to a lot of weapons and a lot of numbers since they're shorter, and probably weaker. That's how gangs work, groups of cowards. 💀💀💀

    While I watch your vlog I find myself feeling teary eyed since, in the regular course of things, we Filipinos discourage tourists from going to Tondo and don't even recommend it to foreigners because of its tarnished reputation in the past. I observed how my people in Tondo welcomed you, and it made me feel guilty and embarrassed because, despite the fact that Tondo has changed significantly over the years, we Filipinos still judge our own people in Tondo. I am thrilled and relieved that Tondo has fully transformed from the worst neighborhood in Manila to one with a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

    All you guys making negative comments about Ali, just watched Mergim’s vlog before posting your comments. This video came out 2weeks ago... Why not post your negative comments then. Honestly I subscribe to Mergim too, I agree Ali’s title is misleading. But read the description of the video, Ali is trying to disprove what is being said about Tondo. Ali never cheated the tricycle driver out of money, he paid him 500pesos, if anyone found Ali offensive, it would have been the people he encountered in this vlog. Not one person was upset or offended by him. Ali never showed any disrespect to anyone in Tondo. Those people welcomed him into their house. If Ali forced himself into their house they would have killed him right. Show me one angry person in this vlog. To Mergim, I respect you too, but you could’ve approached this differently. Watch Ali’s video from his first visit. Nobody was offended or disrespected. All you negative commenters, stop riding the bandwagon. Every vlogger does this line of work for views whether they admit it of not. Mergims vlogs are awesome too. I subscribe to both of them, it’s a sad day when I watch vlogs where negativity makes people turn on someone because of another person opinion... it’s is just nonsense. Ali and Mergim, I love you both. Keep making these videos that make me happy and show us more about the beautiful Philippines.
