    When I used to travel to Asia back in the 90's and early 2000, I want to go to the Philippines. During those days there was no UA-cam. What was in the main stream media at that time were only bad news about this country. Rebels, poverty and a corrupt government. I was shock when I first came across your vlog about thos country Kulas, that was during Covid sitting in the house under curfew. It was at this point that I decided to stop watching the main media news and follow independent media, UA-cam snd orher social media platforms. My biggest wish was that as soon that the right time comes after these mad sickness I will go to the Philippines. The main reason is that I had a Filipina girlfriend for some time in 1998 but she flew back to the Philippines and we could not meet again. Philippines is like my country the Seychelles,, I can live their even in the Province because i was born in this kind of environment. Unfortunately in 2022 I felt ill followed by an accident that makes me bed ridden for two years. Now i am back on my feet with one crutch and still need two operation to get fully back and walk by my own feet. I will work for two more years with god blessings I must visit this country and even stay for atleast six months there.

    Wow, you are truly a Manila boy now. No one would ever try jogging from BGC to QC then take the LRT and MRT on your way back to BGC! And you're right, the average Metro Manila commuter deserve kudos and respect for the daily hassles of using the public means of transpo, which should be a nightmare for any tourist but you surely did it with flying colors! You're our man, kulas!!!

    Kudos for braving the public transpo in the PH. It's a daily battle for us workers in the city. I hope the government will direct more efforts in improving infrastructure and consolidating train lines all over the metro. They seem to prioritize cars over PUVs and providing a safe and walkable city, hence the traffic.

    Wow, you RAN from Taguig to QAve. That is dedication, my friend. Watching your vid, and hearing you mention Mami, I thought "Is he going to Ma Mon Luk?" Sayang, you weren't able to eat. But you should. I used to pass there daily in college to and from UP. I ate there a few times. I actually went more to the original Ma Mon in Quiapo, right beside Quiapo Church, but I don't know if that one's still open. If you're craving really good Chinese, go to Binondo. My mum and I used to go to Wai Ying a lot. 😂😂😂 Great vid, as usual, Kulas!

    Ma Mon Luk if not already should be Philippines national land mark for its history. I believe there’s only one in the country with the other branch closed, and with its popularity and delicious mami and siopao would explain why they sell out before closing. I remember my grandpa taking me there back in the 70’s when we were still living in the Philippines. ❤

    Mami sold out! Not surprised. Even in our small town you have to be in line before they open. Prices sure are higher. We used to get the Mami especial (with egg) for 25 peso. Admire your dedication. In my mind, I'd be "How many Mami spots did I pass up to get here?"

  • @troyski22o
    @troyski22o Місяць тому +1

    15:37 When you pass by Ma Mon Luk again I suggest passing by Joe Kuan. Although not as old as Ma Mon Luk, it’s another Siopao and Mami place in the metro with a little bit of nostalgia attached. I think their main branch would have still been open by then and probably about 45 mins walk from where you were. 😊

    light water has a PH of 8.2. It means it as alkaline water. I have acid reflux and i drink alkaline water and it relieves my symptoms. But you need to drink it at least 1h after you eat because you need acidity to digest the food. You know when you eat and you feel blotted? After drinking alkhaline water( i drink it at a level of 9) it take out the feeling of being blotted and it stop the caughing from the acidity going up to my troat.

    Tough break about the mami, especially after the lengthy jog. Sayang! If Kumander was with you, I'm sure he would have recommended you have a hotdog at the 7 Eleven where you stopped. I bet it would have been his treat, too. lol🤣
