Manila is a city of contrasts, with some 21 million people in the metropolitan area, and about 5 million of them living in squatter's areas (slums).
I have been living in Manila all summer long, and I wanted to make this video to show you a new side of Manila that you probably don't know exists.
Making this video in Manila was a challenge, but it has been the most touching video I've made thus far.
My idea was to bring food and school supplies to kids living in the San Andres Bukid Squatter's area of Manila - where 120,000 people live within 1 square kilometer and on less than $1USD per day.
I welcome your thoughts, comments and feedback on my video in Manila.

Many Filipino teachers teach English in Thailand. They are very friendly... Thanks...
Wullop Khin I am studying at the Thailand international school which has many Filipino teachers and more from Europe North America and Africa
Oh
I’m thai to
Epic gramp
This is revisiting my life from the past.i used to live in the squatter area.everytime there was a typhoon,we have no recourse but to sleep sitting down with legs soaked in water ,head down on the mini dining table. We were packed like sardines.neighbors helped each other ,shared food or even lent clothes.we also borrowed and paid money among us neighbors,which is common in squatter areas.we also had to watch tv shows from neighbors windows,since their homes were already packed with co-neighbors ,as well.yes,i did live in san andres bukid,tondo,sta ana,sta cruz,binondo,pandacan,paco etc being a nomad.Thanks god,i have been living in the usa for almost three decades now ,with good paying job.
So sad but glad u are ok now
3:58 the smile on the kids face is so warm you could cook with it
Oh my god, this is so sad. But now that I think about it, the people didn’t seem unhappy. Everyone knows each other, and helps each other. There isn’t drama, or social media to hurt people. Maybe living there wouldn’t be that bad? Housing would be a problem, and so would food, and schooling. But push all of that aside, if you have a loving family, would it truly be that bad?
Anya_ Winters227 lol i Saw on his other vids
I love your videos so much Drew. They're not just about tourism. A lot of it is about showing the humanity in all of us, whereas mainstream media is desperate to do the opposite. Beautiful videos, thank you. You could go to Syria, it's nothing like what you see on TV.
I need to go to the Philippines. This was beautiful.
This made me cry. Going to support this definitely
I have been in Manila 6 months ago..❤️ Philipines.

I remember this place from when I was 16...my dad is from here 💖🇵🇭💖
Whoa!i like this vlog,showing the different side of manila.The best thing is that these people tend to smile a lot despite the poverty.Truly amazing people,the Filipinos such positive vibes despite the hardships.
even though we Filipinos are poor, we are really friendly. even though many bad things may happen, we still smile.
*some
this video is heart-warming. i got teary eyed after watching this. thank you so much for appreciating the Philippines❤
Omg Drew. Thank you so much for covering this story, with your huge following I really hope this brings financial help to these beautiful people
U r subs base is growing like lightning fast..carry on good work brother..
Awww This is so beautiful! Loved it
Manila is the most corrupt city in Pinas! I lived there there for a while, but i still miss the people, becoz even life is hard and difficult, you can see in the video that they can still manage to smile and laugh
Danica Tiongson shut up bitch! Obviously ur not a filipino, coz u mispelled the word. Dont you ever say cease our race.
SLUM OF SEA = PHILIPPINE

cheers for showing this and make people aware
Sad that these people live in such conditions, yet there's genuine happiness in their faces than clips we see of those living in more affluent cities. Joy really is something money can't buy.
Grew up here when I was a kid, thanks for posting.
Thank you for helping the people of true manila
Thats very sweet and heartwarming😄😄
Your description links to everything about you and no links to the cause or true manila...?
Were Livin you could just google it you know, he has already introduced Edwin & almost everything you need to know about truemanila. dont be outright negative, man.
Been living in Manila for more than ten years and I didn't even know about this place. :(
how
Thank you so much, Drew!
I'm thankful I'm living in luxury in the philipines cuz my parents got good jobs
He is a true human being. Faith in humanity restored
A big heart from Morocco, the way u tell the story is stunning
Good job Drew. Keep it up.
Manila is my forever homeplace. I've been here since birth, now living in dubai. I hope to visit the city again in 2025
New sub drew... Thanks for loving the country❤️❤️❤️❤️

Mark Wiens brought me here. Hi Drew, thanks for visiting our country Philippines
thanks for everything uve done
im from the same country aswell for those donated on our country thanks it really helps on our community make sure to visit us!
Wow!?! You also been in San Andres, near where in Sta. Ana, Manila where my home town is. Great! You're amazing! 🤩
how are you not famous, these vids are legit
Right on poiny Drew. It's all about perspective.
Good job👍👍👍👍
Studying in Manila for five years, I think the people in San Andres are poor but very hardworking. There are also middle class people. They have these honest jobs as vendors, waiters, etc. But just minutes away from this area, Tondo, got a different story. I'd say you have to be careful in this depressed area since my foreigner friends got hit by someone here.
Wow this was so touching I want to donate to true Manila you forgot to leave a link!!!
Im filipino and this came out in my birthday (july 21) amazing

Good job Brother 😊😊👍👍👍
Maan.. I'm addicted ur amazing channel
Good job
Good on you all
im in tears
Vouch for community being connected, lived there for 10 years and everyone knew each other and eventually you would meet everyone there too.
Is Manila poor? I don't think so. The Philippines is bursting with the most valuable commodity in the world. More valuable than oil. And that is youth. When the median age of all the rich countries exceeds 50... the working people of the next century will be concentrated in countries like the Philippines..
jerolvilladolid Like the video said, "the rich are really rich, and the poor are really poor"
What you said is just for the rich
@@zatzu And all working like slaves ..... quantity is not quality.
And purleez with mentality like yours, no wonder the country population grow and grow with no checks and problems like poverty and slum will multiply and continue endlessly. Even the poor families have like 6-8 children...... sigh What is people or youth living in poverty with no job opportunities, decent homes?
EC S you could've just said they have a lack of family planning...
also any mentalites won't help, its their fault that hey are poor and struggling, don't be lazy when you are still young, you gotta work hard for a better future and then when the time comes that you can already support your own family, thats when you start one. (im 15 and I think for my future so that I wont struggle)
Jose Manuel Balod TV = rich Haha
2:47 the kids hello was so cute
3:57 that’s the cutest Filipino kid I’ve seen love from turkey 🇹🇷❤️🇵🇭
Keep that for yourself please.
Drowning in my own tears
I'm crying while seeing this
Heyy drew,can i upload this on my facebook page?, this video gave me chills man
Oh man I hope this dude realizes just how lucky he is, I'd give anything to live this life
I used to live in San Andres bukid haha
wow i didnt know it exist. good video, i think the government trying to relocate them but the problem mostly they dont want to move to their relocation area where they have houses. maybe difficult to adjust like environment, work and social peers.
I love my country!
Goodluck and more power 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
bitch!

It's broke my heart
Hey that shirt it just like mine in the intro
San Andres Bukid is just adjacent to Makati city. So the area of San Andres near the border with Makati have renovated homes and newly built up apartments and Makati employees rent those areas. San Andres is full of contrast because the employees and the urban poor co habitate. Many also of the offsprings of the urban poor have had education and have improved their lives already. San Andres is not a dangerous place. It is actually a safe area. It is the working class who live there. I know this because my family rented an apartment there near the border with Makati and stayed there for 11 years before eventually going abroad. I am now based here in the US east coast. San Andres does not have slums, they are just not a well planned residential community so you see the houses are built without following specific building codes. You dont see houses made of cardboards. The mayor Atienza who was mayor for 3 terms live in that area.
The poverty area is so Huge, the kids also, Huh .. make me cry .. but at least I can see that they're so happy .. Now I really thankful that I'm living in Indonesia. :)
Rudi Setiawan but we have this problem too, in Jakarta alone there's still have poor people like this.
PissMenn Does Jakarta Has Poor People too?
Von Gabe Maybe it's unseen if you find it alongside the roads, but if you could track into deeper side like beside rivers or railway track and in northern area where there's fisherman village next to Jakarta's Big ports you would probably see it. Btw Manila CBD looks more modern than us hahaha
PissMenn Oww I Wish Philippines And Indonesia Poor People And Slum must Relocate Into A Better Place With A House. Just A Small House That is Made By The Government. :) Thank You! But I Think Jakarta CBD And Skyline Are Just The Same Like Manila! Btw Congrats On Your MRT Jakarta!
Von Gabe Yes indeed, money could be the problem but what's more difficult for us is to advice people, explain them to relocate their houses and leave all their bad condition into a new and more well designed housing. As Indonesia is a democratic country, is not easy to do that. Because we can't easily forced people. Sometimes opposition would defend those people "rights" to counter the government. I think PH share the same problem like that. Anyway we're still working on it, goodluck to Manila and whole Philippines as well.
EDwin is a Legend
This is a good deed.
I was here when I was 3 months old
