  • This is my first time in The Philippines! Im so happy to be here in Manila for the first time to discover so much about this beautiful country.
    In this video, we fly from Singapore, Changi Airport into Clark International Airport, before catching a 3 hour taxi to Manila. We check into our hotel, fall asleep, and get ready to explore!
    We’re staying in the Makati City area of Manila, so we set out on foot to see what the city has to offer - whilst searching for some local food, particularly Banana Cue and Banana Turon!
    We met so many nice and lovely people - Manila gave us the best Welcome to the Philippines we could ask for!

Most western tourists keep coming back to the Philippines because of the charisma the Filipinos bring to foreign visitors...

    Oh my! I left Manila in '89..been here in the US for so long & if I ever go back home to visit, i'd be so lost with all the new buildings & also the crazy traffic. Filipinos are naturally hospitable & friendly. English is our 2nd language & at first you will stand out because you're a foreigner but if they know that you are there to visit, they will help you if you have questions. Go island hopping, taste diff. food from different provinces & have fun. I truly enjoyed your video. Greetings from Orlando, Florida.

    PH is made of thousands of islands, so you have hundreds of options to choose your next adventure. I recommend Coron, Bantayan Isaland, El Nido, Bohol tour, Sagada and Baguio. But while you're in Manila, you can check their museums if you're into history. You can choose either urban or nature adventures depending what your vibe on the day or week is.

    Wow! I love your positivity and enthusiasm! You arrived in the Philippines with 19.5K subscribers. Keep up with this and watch your subscribership soar! Filipinos love it when foreign vloggers look at the positive aspects of our country. We're so tired of foreign vloggers who focus so much on the abject poverty and the scary-looking dishes. That's not all what the Philippines is all about, you know. Many of your vloggers will also be Filipinos breaking their backs working in the Middle East, North America, Asia, etc. just to send money home to their families. They're homesick. They are watching vicariously their home country through your eyes. TIP: Please get to know some local terms (don't butcher the pronunciation; you wouldn't want us butchering yours; ask around about the correct pronunciation ... Filipinos are a helpful and patient lot) and interact with the locals. Good luck, stay safe, and enjoy the Philippines. Oh, sorry about the rainy season ... we don't plan these things. Hahaha! :)

    You'll probably going to the south of the Philippines to see the beaches and islands but if you ever have the time, try visiting the northern part of the country. I'd recommend the ilocos region, Cordillera (mountainous) region, and batanes which is considered the most beautiful province in the Philippines.
    They also have islands and beaches there specifically in the Ilocos region. While the Cordillera region is known for its cold climate in a tropical country.
    You should also try looking up las casas Filipinas de Acuzar in bagac bataan, which is pretty much a town full of hundreds of years old Filipino houses. It's pretty close to manila so it's an easy travel.

    On a side note, the banana you ate that was on the Turon and Banana-Q is a variety called Saba. There is a tartness to it so that is why it isn't usually eaten fresh. But when cooked, it becomes sweet. That's why you will usually find that variety of bananas in Filipino cooking and deserts, which both of those things are considered as. The place where you ate at, generally is called turo-turo, literal translation is point-point. Its a type of store where you come in and point at what you want. Also, the thing what you thought was peanut butter, is in fact Bagoong (Shrimp paste) and is the accompany dipping sauce of the Kare-Kare (beef peanut stew). The shrimp paste is salty which gives balance o the sweetness of the Kare-Kare. Typical Filipino foods likes to play around with contrasting flavors. Salt/sweet, Salt/sour, ect. Also as a general rule, a majority of filipino dishes will come with a dipping sauce, its is again there to play around with taste. whether it be soy sauce with kalamansi, or fish sauce, or soy with vinegar, the list goes on.
