- Our family arrived in Manila late last night-and after a travel day of uncertainty that was caused by a powerful typhoon sweeping through the northern Philippines the previous evening. We weren’t sure we were going to make it into town at all, but now that we’re here, we’re ready to explore the city’s sites and bites. Today, we’re trying to fit in way too many stops, including but not limited to, checking out the Manila baywalk and beach, visiting the largest mall in Asia, exploring the top street food of the oldest chinatown in the world, and eating the cheapest Michelin-starred meal on the planet.

ABOUT US
We’re the Lockwoods. And we’re traveling the world to experience-up close and in person-all the natural wonders and distinct cultures that our kids would otherwise be consuming only through textbooks and TV. We think it’s a better way to learn and we’re working hard to fund this little experiment in the hope that our kids will grow up wiser, kinder, and more grateful for the beauty of our diverse planet and its people.

I am watching this again. ❤😀 Honestly, your vlogs became my stress relievers. You really helped me a lot especially after a busy day at work. ❤❤❤ Thank you very much. 😍❤😍❤
@@charmsmanz6204 it means so much to us that our episodes have a positive effect on you. Thank you for following our family along! 🫶❤️
agree
Did you notice that Filipino viewers are incredibly insane? Look how huge the difference of views of your video in your non Philippine Vlog. It's like 3x more. We love to support our visitors as part of our hospitality. A simple way to say how we appreciate that you tried our culture and you experience our country. Lots of Love from Philippines to your family. ❤️🥰
We have definitely noticed 🤗 We met the kindest people in Philippines and we’re still seeing so much kindness online. Thank you 🙏.
Yes there videos mostly filipino viewers all foreigners vloggers got lots of filipino viewers and supporters
You can also do a meet and greet once youre Manila before leaving. You'll be surprised that maybe around 50 will show up and it will make you feel and feel good about yourself that traveling with your family is possible, its fun and its a good memory that your kids will have as they grow. Lots of love. Thank you ❤️🥰
Palahanga kasi ang mga Pinoy e Lalo na sa mga puti.
yeah right...that is the reason many foreign vloggers are make vlogs about our country ,PHILIPPINES...😛😊
Ive seen a lot of Foreign Vloggers that went and featured the Philippines and you guys are so far the most respectful, well-structured and coolest vloggers. You guys were so interesting to watch. It’s so great to see a whole Family doing travel vlogs. I hope you really enjoyed my country 🇵🇭
🙏 Thank you! We really did enjoy every aspect of the Philippines.
I have to agree with your observations. This video is well thought
I really enjoyed my Philippines vacation. The Filipinos are friendly, kind, hospitable, beautiful and most important they speak &
understand English. The food is yummy& exciting. Ill be back soon. Mabuhay !
Agreed all around! Love the PH and can't wait to be back in a few weeks 👍🏼
Those extra securities are a standard here in the Philippines, we really never had any serious threat all but they're just doing extra precautionary measures to ensure safety of everyone. You guys are great in what you are doing! Keep it up!
Thank you! 🙏 Appreciate the support. We felt very safe everywhere we went.
This is how a vlog should be. You explain, you describe, you tell your experience on places, food you experience. Kudos to you guys.
Thank you so much! It means a lot that you appreciate our blog style 🤗
Seriously. It's great editing and the quick and concise info is intermediate to advance level. Also liked that you guys weren't deterred by the obstacles/challenges. I enjoyed this a lot. 👏👏😁
@@AlwaysBeChanging keep safe and enjoy our country
They’re used to traveling. When tourists are open-minded, they are educated and frequent travelers.
Enjoy the culture and stay safe!
In terms of food, the Philippines is the best, but the truth is that the whole Philippines is dirty and almost 80% of the Filipinos there are undisciplined because there are people who throw garbage in the canal and that animal excrement is also thrown there and there are a lot of people spitting everywhere even on the road they are spitting the truth is really disgusting the Philippines is the dirtiest country in the whole world for me it's just that even citizens in the Philippines 90% to 95% are undisciplined and don't care about the environment is better to visit China, South Korea and Japan, the people there are disciplined, even if it's just the environment, it's not really good to visit the Philippines.
Here is a tip, if you are lost, ESPECIALLY in a mall, go talk to a security guard. The ones in white, who are inspecting at the entrances, and you can also find them patrolling the mall grounds. They will know, 80-90% of the time where a specific place or store might be.
and you can call them Kuya or Manong Guard.

A great pleasure as a Filipino seen an American family visiting Philippines
We sure fell in love with your beautiful country! Everyone is so nice and the landscape is breathtaking. Many thanks to all filipinos for the hospitality ❤

I am just blown away by your authenticity and eagerness to learn about different cultures and trying out local foods especially those from Philippines and Singapore. Im originally from the Philippines and have worked in Singapore for a decade before moving to LA. Thank you for bringing me back to these places which i consider home ❤. Lastly, your kids are all equally amazing just like you guys. Keep safe and cheers to more travels😊
That warms our hearts! Thank you so much. We love what we do and we really love sharing it with everyone.
You guys are so proper compared to the other bloggers, it's refreshing. welcome to the Philippines I hope you enjoy your stay.
Thank you so much 🤗 I’m so glad you found our channel.
Yes, it's different, it's clean, but it's not really clean. Look, the dirt is really different, even dog and cat poop is on the sidewalk because people don't care about our environment, so the Philippines will not develop while that son of Dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr. is sitting. that Ferdinand Bongbong Marcos Jr. and Filipinos will continue to suffer and Filipinos will not be disciplined here in our country, that's why I want to go to Japan because the Japanese are disciplined there, and there is not even a single dirt in Japan, not even garbage is scattered.
YOU MEAN THEY HAVE CLASS OF ALL THE VLOGGERS THAT YOU SEE OR WATCH ON CZcams…. 😂✌️🙌👌👍👍👍👍
refreshing to see these high end tourist family not just sugar coating manila like other patronizing vloggers thank u very much
In all of the places in the Philippines that we've been visiting, our favorites are the authentic and non-tourist places. Eating the real local street foods and so on... we have 8 more episodes from PH still coming and can't wait to help show the world how awesome the country is!
The Philippines is the only country to celebrate Christmas very early. Once the name of the month ends with the "BER" (SeptemBER), most Filipinos start decorating their homes (malls and offices,too!) with Christmas decorations. I do that also but not until October. Hey, It's the fun in putting all the bling blings with all the members of the family that excites us all. And when Christmas Eve and Day arrives, families with the extended ones (some up to 3rd degree cousins or relatives), come together for the true meaning of why we celebrate it ------ GOD and FAMILY!..........GOD Bless you all!
It's usually couples and nomads who travel the Philippines. This is unique and interesting that it's an entire family traveling!
We love traveling with our kids! Taking them to the Philippines has been a eye opening and wonderful for them as it’s been for us 🥰
@@AlwaysBeChanging it's beautiful to see and it's evident in how your kids are well-rounded and has strong characters because of it.
FYI... Philippines has the longest Christmas Season in the whole world. It's called the "Ber Months" which starts from September till December. Christmas Season starts very early because Philippines don't have Halloween and Thanksgiving... but now a days, Filipinos are starting to adapt to those events due to a huge western influence. In addition, Halloween in the PH has more similarities with Día de los Muertos event in Mexico without the skull costumes. Anyways, Welcome to PH and I hope you enjoy your stay! dont forget to bond with the locals to experience the real Filipino hospitality.
Thank you for explaining that! When we first arrived at the airport we couldn't figure out if they started decorating early or just left it up all year. I (Erin) could celebrate Christmas for three months! Phil likes to wait until after Thanksgiving - only giving us a month!! Too short :)
who asked?
@@AlwaysBeChanging Halloween in PH is mostly celebrated by kids. They dressed up for trick or treats. Malls have lots of those cute kids in Halloween dresses. Bars and clubs have Halloween parties and that’s all.
@@Dexter-sh1uq they were wondering about the decorations in the video if you were actually watching their video...
@@Dexter-sh1uq go to the Mars please or in other UNIVERSE.
Great to see high end vloggers in the country showcasing luxurious lifestyle in manila.
Mabuhay!
Welcome to the Phillipines and thank you for visiting Manila.
😊❤️
We are so happy to visit Manila and explore other areas of the Philippines. It’s incredible here! 🥰
It's guys like you that makes us Filipinos try harder to make you feel comfortable and enjoying your stay.MABUHAY TO OUR DEAR VISITORS.
We're blown away by all the kindness and support--thank you so much!

Let me ask you, are you going to the Philippines, there are many people who don't follow the law, such as it is forbidden to cross the wrong crossing, then there are many people who urinate on the wall and on the tire of the car, many of us. even if they are not squatters, they do that and then at the railway crossing they cross even if there is a barrier because the train is about to pass and then they run to cross just think about it and then the trash and dog or cat poop is just thrown into the canal and anywhere then there are many stray dogs and cats that are left alone to defecate anywhere, that's why the Philippines is the ugliest country in the world, think it's better to go to China, Japan and South Korea, the people there are disciplined and know how to obey the law.
Mom did a great job with all the research! Hope you had fun!
When we say mall, we give you everything you need.
WELCOME TO PHILIPPINES 😊
Haha! So true. When what we really needed was a map 🤦♀️. Definitely the largest mall we’ve ever been in.
Im so glad as a filipino that foreign like you appreciate the beauty of our humble country .. God Blessed your Family 🙏
you guys are phenomenal family welcome to land of the Philippines. enjoyed and relax more fun in the Philippines.
The reason why Filipinos loves Christmas is because we love festivities and party , we love family and friends gatherings , feasting with food , exchanging gifts, playing party games , dancing and of course singing.. Christmas makes us feel so alive ,hopeful and optimistic about everything. Enjoy the Philippines .💖
Thank you so much! We love the Filipino people. So nice and welcoming!
in other word they are pagans.

The way you are exposing your kids to these cuisines through your travels is awesome. They will enjoy life more with no food hangups.

Wow, a departure from the typical backpacker vlog.Visit Intramuros, the walled city. The centuries old churches around the area. Done at an authentic Filipino restaurant to taste Filipino cuisine. Since it is an archipelago comprised of thousands of islands, there are different cuisines in every island and regions. But, suggest you try our seafoods which are so varied and abundant!
Enjoy your travels in the Ph and stay safe!
Being a filipino...and whoever visits our country for enjoying and discovering we're glad and support u guys👍👏😃enjoy and God bless
We definitely enjoyed every aspect of our stay. Thank you for the support! 🙏
I am Filipino and I love this family. Way to go!
In reality, the Philippines is the ugliest and dirtiest country in the world, you know why it's there first that throws garbage into the canal, even dog and cat poop is thrown into the canal, even oil, rice and other things that clog it are also thrown into the canal the second canal is the one who urinates on the side of the wall and then sees a cup urinating on the wheel of the car, is that the Philippines beautiful but the citizens are not disciplined and their public toilets still stink and they spit in reality so few only tourists because of our citizens who are not disciplined and only a few have persevered in the Philippines so actually it is not really good to go to the Philippines it is better to go to Thailand, Vietnam, South Korea, China, Japan and the USA because there are disciplined people that and there is no trash to be seen there must be a country to go to not the Philippines which is really rotten
Awesome! Philippines is on my bucketlist for sure. Thanks so much for sharing your experience! See you on the next one!
Thanks :) It should definitely be at the TOP of your bucket list. Everywhere we go is so unique and so beautiful. Can't wait to share the rest of this trip.
You guys are my new Bucketlist Family! I’m partial to your son❤ I always wait for his foodie comment 😂 I paid close attention to this episode bec we are visiting the Philippines this Dec. Thank you for this one!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much! 🤗 He really has such a great way of describing food. You are going to love the Philippines! It’s so magical there. The beauty is insane 🤩. I hope our upcoming episodes are helpful too!
Just a tip, a big percentage of us Filipinos speak English, to understand us, it just takes a bit of getting used to due to our accent, you have to listen very well, so it was a bit funny when you said there was a language barrier, we are one of the South East Asian countries with the highest English proficiency 😊
We didn't mean it as an insult, for sure... just that we may have gotten a bit lost in translation here and there. Regardless, it sure helped us that filipinos speak a lot of English! We love our Philippines travels and the people are the best! ❤️
@RareSidePotato I agree a 💯 %
I will not be surprised if they will get more language barriers in other asian countries much more than the Philippines 😂 thanks for visiting the Philippines though.
Enjoy your stay guys. Philippines has everything when it comes to food.

when was the last time u visited Phil btw sir? Dirtiest n the whole world. Hmmm, I think u are n the Philippines every day to see what it looks like n there. The Philippines is not a small island nation Phil has 7k + islands. there are maybe areas that are dirty esp like the secluded and squatter areas but I hope if u visit during the time of duterte and to present u will change ur mind. Before and now s much more different.

Welcome to the Philippines! Don’t forget to visit the islands such as Boracay, Coron, El Nido, etc. You may also want to visit BGC while you’re in Manila. It’s a high-end business and lifestyle area in the metro.
A tip: When going to the islands, fly with Philippine Airlines to avoid delays. Next-best option is Cebu Pacific.
Enjoy your trip in PH!
Thanks! 😊 We we’re able to go to Coron, Boracay, Bohol and Cebu. And we found exactly what you mean about flight delays! We had one flight on Scoot and there was a three hour delay 🤯! But our other flights were on Philippine airlines and we didn’t have any problems.
Thanks for watching!
also if you have time please visit the summer capital of the Philippines.. Baguio City... The coldest climate in the country

I enjoyed the vibe. Your family is adorable. I love Colt's commentary everytime you guys try new food/cuisine. Welcome to the Philippines!
Thank you so much!! 😁
As for the security guards, I guess that it has been an standard practice for establishments to hire security personnel. Not necessarily because there is a threat, but it provides more job opportunities and create a safer environment. Notice that the security guards are not wearing police or military uniform, so no cause for concern. I hope you enjoy your stay in the Philippines! Thank you for contributing to the local economy!
My country may not be perfect, but you can still get best of us with our hospitality, friendliness, our food, the best tourist spots in the world. As a Filipino-American living in New York for 30+ years, it's time for me to go back an retire to my beloved Philippines.
Bye!

Thanks for liking the Philippines 🇵🇭, exploring Manila, try Davao City if you have enough time. Good luck and have fun. Christmas feels in the Philippines start’s September to January. I love my Country though I’m in Atlanta area. There’s no place like home Davao City, Philippines 🇵🇭.
Wow..thank you for visiting our country Philippines. And about Christmas here, most Filipinos started putting lights, lantern, Christmas Tree as the "Ber" month started, shall we say as early as September. That's why, the Philippines was considered as has the longest Christmas Holiday in the world.
Love it! It was a bit of a surprise, but it's very cool knowing that it's such a big focus for the Philippines ❤️

Everyone has been so kind and welcoming! 🤗 thank you!
For a minute, I thought I was watching an actual travel series for a lifestyle show. Amazing vlog! Welcome to the Philippines. ❤️ I hope you all enjoy your stay. 😊 Can't wait to see your next vlog. 🥰
Such a great compliment! Thank you for appreciating our labor of love. All of our experiences in the Philippines were incredible. We just hope we can do them justice with our episodes! 🥰 Our next one is in Coron and it’ll be out soon!!
Thank you! That’s so encouraging. We can’t wait to share our next episode too! Should be out soon 🤗
Just a note Filipino’s celebrate Christmas as soon as the month ends with “ber” that’s why you are hearing and experiencing an early Christmas. It gets more intense the closer it gets to December. Enjoy your stay.
Thank you for visiting our beloved country the Philippines..proud Filipino here in Kuwait 🇰🇼🇰🇼🙏 God bless to your family..
Thank you for being so welcoming! ❤️🇵🇭
I enjoyed the sincerity and realness of your video. No gimmicks No hidden agendas just sharing personal experiences
Thank you. We really appreciate that!
Philippines has the longest celebrations of Christmas in the world. It starts in September to December.
Wow, this was actually a great, well-put-together video. You guys should definitely hit up the night food markets. Highly recommended. Also, Philippines has the longest Christmas season in the world, which starts during what they call the 'ber months'. That's why you started seeing in in Septem'ber' and that's gonna go on probably until Jan-Feb.
Hope you guys have a very nice experience there in the Philippines. I miss it terribly, so I'm just gonna vicariously live through you guys for now if you don't mind. Godspeed and much love from Australia.
Thank you!! We'll be curious to hear your thoughts on our upcoming Cebu City episode... Lots of food markets and street food in that one 👍🏼
@@AlwaysBeChanging Im excited and looking forward to it. Visayas has a very rich history from the Japanese invasion to the Spanish colonisation to the Americans liberating it. I believe there was a US Army base in Cebu and General MacArthur's site is actually only an island away from Cebu called Red Beach Palo in Leyte.
Can't get enough of you guys. With you around who needs the Travel Channel?
That’s so sweet! Thanks! 😊
Good job everyone. That is Tourism vlogging all about! Thank you for exploring our country the Philippines!!!

I just discovered your vlog and I love it so far! I love your energy! It feels like I'm watching an exciting travel documentary instead of a typical travel vlog - it's refreshing to watch!!! I haven't been home in eight years so it's really exciting to re-visit and explore my home country in the eyes of foreigners!

Thank you for visiting, exploring and enjoying the Philippines 🇵🇭 and the Filipino people... love you guys
Thank you 🤗
I haven’t been home for almost 20 years. I’m going home next year on my own. I used to go to Binondo with my family or friends when I was still living in Manila. I’m learning from your family’s trip lol! You’re helping me with my itinerary. Thank you for this!
Why on your own?
Hi Guys, am sure you're shocked by the Christmas ambience especially in Malls. Well, its already Christmas Season in the Philippines starting the "BER" Months. Actually it starts every September 15 for the "100 Days Countdown" to Christmas Eve. The Philippines has the Longest Christmas Season. Welcome and enjoy your stay in our humble Country. "It's more fun in the Philippines". Be safe and Godspeed.
Thank you for the info! We having been loving our time in the Philippines! It’s so incredibly beautiful here!
Stay and enjoy how we Filipino celebrate the Christmas holiday’s season
Great video. I am a retired American who lives in the province in the Philippines. Your children were surprised about the Christmas stuff in September. The Christmas celebration starts on 1 September in the Philippines. They say any month that ends in BER is Christmas. Their is no holiday in that period like Thanksgiving to wait for. I hope you enjoyed the Philippines as it is a true paradise. God Bless!
Thanks for enjoying your visit to our country PHILIPPINES.THANKS FOR THE COMPLIMENT.HOPE YOU WILL VISIT AGAIN,& TELL IN THE INTIRE WORLD THE POSITIVE EXPERIENCE YOU EEXPERIENCE I OUR BELOVED COUNTRY.GOD BLESS & TAKE CARE N YOUR JOURNEY.
a breath of fresh air to see the philippines from a non-budget but more of a high end lifestyle perspective! looking forward to where you will take us along 😊
Thank you! I’m so glad you found our channel. Next, we’re in Coron and it’s absolutely gorgeous!
@@AlwaysBeChanging Try going to BGC/Bonifacio Global City when you come back to Manila.
I agree! That was a nice high end hotel and at the same time they were not afraid to try out different foods in Chinatown, or was it in Chinatown? Anyways, definitely refreshing to watch the whole family being so open minded to trying new things. Love it!
You can be high end and still be more down to earth. Take some cues from “Somebody feed Phil.” He’s probably much wealthier, but can also relate to everyone.

Welcome to the Philippines 🇵🇭 what a beautiful family🥰enjoy your stay and have lots of fun😍
The Christmas season in the Philippines is the longest in the world. The "Ber Months," which run from September through December, are known as such. Because Halloween and Thanksgiving are not celebrated in the Philippines, Christmas season begins relatively early. However, because of the strong influence of the west, Filipinos are starting to adjust to those events nowadays. Even though there hasn't been a severe threat to our country in a long time, the Philippines has conventional security procedures in place to protect everyone's safety. You guys are excellent at what you do! Keep going!
Filipinos begin their Christmas a few months prior to honor the holidays. Love all your Southeast Asia vids....amazing cuisine.
Thanks, Ann! Some people in the USA start Christmas that early, but others try to wait until after Halloween and Thanksgiving 👍🏼
i love it! your shots looks so professional and your voice is perfect for a host. Hope your enjoying your philippine trips.
Welcome to the Philippines! Now this is really good content! Video is well edited and you do research very well! Very impressive! Like the other comments here, Philippines has the longest Christmas in the world. We start by September till January. Keep it up guys! Great job on the video.
Thank you SO MUCH for appreciating our country.your always welcome to the Philippines🥰🥰🥰
I’m glad you enjoyed the Philippines! Thanks for visiting and appreciating our food, places, & culture! Now I’m excited to go back home to visit too!😃
Im impressed with this family. Very sport. Their sense of adventure is awesome! Very open minded when it comes to culture most specially with food.😀
Don’t worry you’re safe in the Philippines . Good people , happy kind people . Very respectful also . Enjoy !😊
haha you sure? so many criminals here not to mention NPAs and Abu Sayyaf....the Philippines is one dangerous place
yea i think it's mostly safe for tourists and foreigners. i think the robbing is mostly toward other Filipinos. unless it's taxis. taxis are always overcharging tourists
Much much safer than the US. Here high rate of crime ,no respect for the police . 2 police got killed again . Mass shooting in North Carolina . Everyday shooting and more . So much violence here now cos lots drugs , guns to wrong people . God bless us 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Love that you brought your kids along. I hope they enjoy the experience and learn new things!
Thanks 🙏. We were hesitant at first but we love traveling with our kids! Wouldn’t have it any other way.
So cool seeing a whole family vlog visiting Philippines! Hope you’re staying there for at least 2 weeks or more to really visit a lot of places. Kudos to you parents for taking your kids there especially for letting them experience of Filipino culture! Have fun!
Thank you so much for capturing the beauty of the Philippines and the Filipinos. We are so happy you had a great time. Hope you can explore other places aside from Manila so you can help us showcase to the world what our country has to offer. We have the best beaches and sites for snorkelling and diving but more than anything, the cheerful and hospitable people are our greatest treasures. Filipinos love to host and we love visitors. Thank you again. Mabuhay!
Welcome to Manila 🇵🇭! All BER-MONTHS is Christmas time in PH 💕 Thankyou for visiting.
As for the communication I believe there’s not much language barrier because most of Filipino can speak and understand English.😊 enjoy and stay safe , be aware always on your trips. Godbless

@@regiecadiang2182 I don’t deny that as I witnessed it by myself and I was born there so yeah, but some province are not that dirty like where I used to lived, and in my opinion that manila is most dangerous place and you have to be aware about everything there.
But I still love my country regardless of being one of the poverty country. There’s always positive and negative sides about everything :)
@@Sazsy005 The province is not a dirty country, but someone urinates on the wall and then there is the person who throws garbage, even if it's not just in Manila, but in the province as well.
@@Sazsy005 Let me ask you, are you going to the Philippines, there are many people who don't follow the law, such as it is forbidden to cross the wrong crossing, then there are many people who urinate on the wall and on the tire of the car, many of us. even if they are not squatters, they do that and then at the railway crossing they cross even if there is a barrier because the train is about to pass and then they run to cross just think about it and then the trash and dog or cat poop is just thrown into the canal and anywhere then there are many stray dogs and cats that are left alone to defecate anywhere, that's why the Philippines is the ugliest country in the world, think it's better to go to China, Japan and South Korea, the people there are disciplined and know how to obey the law.
welcome to the philippines. thank you for giving your family to experience our country and culture. hope you enjoyed and come back again. God bless you more
There is a huge difference on the views from your Philippines vlogs compare to your previous videos. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 All the way.
We notice and we're so grateful!
Trivia: When BER months start in the Philippines, we begin the Christmas countdown. It's from September to December.
I hope you can also visit the modern BGC High Street and Grand Venice Mall. :)
Nice vlog guys... And welcome to the Philippines ❤️ I hope you all will enjoy your stay..
Even if you will not be around during the exact Christmas at least you have feel how Christmas would be like in the Philippines..
Christmas there is really different that's why every Filipino who work overseas like me, we choose to go back home to celebrate this festive season...
Love watching this family like I’m watching National Geographic documentary. Welcome to the Philippines guys and god blessed.❤

i hope you guys are doin' okay during the typhoon. we filipinos live with it :)
It's incredible that such a powerful typhoon didn't end up causing any problems with us getting into Manila the next day. We're grateful for that because we had such an amazing time!
@@AlwaysBeChanging i'm happy for you guys. wishing you all the best in life
what the hell? this is soo professionally well made and you're still at 17k subs? you guys need more subs! btw my favorite part is when your little girl said she's a starfish LOL that one cracked me up!
Thank you!! Not sure if this makes it better or worse, but three weeks ago we were at 5000 subs! 🙈
Beautiful ❤❤ Philippines 🇵🇭
I truly enjoyed watching you all especially you’re a good parents to your two kiddos😁👍they’re adorable!
Loving the vlog. Taking me back to why my home country's so mesmerizing. The culture of food and music. The country has soul. Beauty and kindness
Thank you :) I hope you catch all our other episodes in the Philippines. Incredible country! So different at every stop!
I'm 52 and about the security and metal detector you mentioned. It's always been that way since I was in high school or probably even longer. To be honest, it gives us the confidence and comfort that we are safe anywhere we go. I wouldn't have it any other way. 😊
Agreed. We weren't sure if it was related to a new threat or recent event, but knowing that it's just general security precautions... We can dig it :)
Kidnapping is a real thing there.
Kidnapping is real and so is terrorism.
Welcome to the Philippines, the pearl of the Orient! Hope you enjoy your stay and the foods as well.Thanks for
visiting my country!
Colt is so well spoken! I was playing your video to play in the background while I work and I literally had to stop work to comment.
