- Following on from the afternoon tour - High St has a totally different vibe at night. It really comes to life with people and their dogs filling the parks and enjoying the many bars and restaurants. This was shot on a Sunday evening/night with most of it shot at 9pm with a few earlier snippets from early evening.

You are a really good vlogger. I don't normally watch vlogs that are over 10 mins but you kept my attention through this relatively lengthy vlog.
Thanks. Appreciate it. There’s a lot more going on at night time there and I wanted to keep the same start and start points as the daytime tour, but in reverse.
@@NicandPaddyVlog Yeah, I realized that; I've watched the other one, too.
Thanks. I’ve pinned your comment to the top😊
Really enjoyed this video…BGC is definitely clean, lively and has really good vibes. I can’t wait to visit BGC and the surrounding area. Stay safe Paddy.
Thanks. It’s pretty impressive in many other parts of metro manila, so I’ll mix it up a bit in future videos.
I live here in San Francisco, CA and I tell you now that it is safer to travel there in Philippines, especially in big cities like Manila, than traveling here in my home turf. Car break-ins, homelessness, lots of transients, loud obnoxious people, Karens...they are everywhere here in U.S. I was there in BGC a few years back and I've felt at ease and safe. I think even the roughest neighborhoods there in the Philippines is nothing compared to the roughest neighborhoods here in U.S. Just want to add that for your perspective as you travel around there. BTW, the provinces are even better to travel as the people there are mostly down to earth and live a much simpler and honest lifestyle.
I totally agree. I traveled around California about 12 years ago. It’s the richest state in the richest country in the world but I’ve never seen so many homeless people living on the streets.
great to know that everything there in philippines looks normal now...great vlog ..
Yea, other than wearing masks - it’s getting back to it’s old self again.
Congrats on another great video. I really love the high quality and spontaneous, to on-the-spot voiceovers!
Cheers pal
Wow the city looks amazing and cleaner than NY.
It’s close to perfect
Just moved here to BGC a little over a week ago. Love it so far. I'll buy you a drink.
An Irish man never turns down that kind of offer 😄
@@NicandPaddyVlog still looking for an Irish pub that serves Smithwicks here
Been so long since I’ve had a smithwicks. Try Crazy Carabao- Indian Pale Ale is maybe close and you can buy it in shops and bars. It’s made in the Philippines. Also there’s a craft beer bar beside tipsy pig in Forbestown. It’s also in my Forbestown video. Might find something close to smithwicks. Not really any Irish bars around. Closest is Buccaneers in Poblacion.
@@NicandPaddyVlog yes they have a pretty good stout
@@NicandPaddyVlog name the time
nice beautiful video on highstreet thanknu foor your tour very taking picturs too and so nice rhe voice of a lady si ger..keep safe your new frend darna #darnalipad
I really enjoyed watching this video..thank you for sharing friend 🙋👍
Cool. Glad you enjoyed 😊
Thanks for sharing. Great content. 👍
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed
Thanks for your blog. Tour of bgc
Thanks
Thanks for the update night walk at BGC… beautiful… a lot of lights.. good vibes.. nice hangout with friends…I enjoyed watching
Thanks. Also good if you like dogs 😊
@@NicandPaddyVlog yes I do…
There are alot more nice spots around BGC where you can hangout for drinks and foods. They may not be in the popular areas like Forbes Town ,High Street or in the Uptown , but in some isolated spots popular to BPO people
One thing about BGC is that the economy there never stop grinding.
In the normal daytime hours, it's the daytime businesses (banking , shopping, commerce ,etc) that are grinding. When daytime ends , the bar and restaurant businesses will take over and when F&B time is up, the food businesses and services catering for the BPO industry will take over.
When BPO business time ends, the normal daytime economy will take over again continuing the economic cycle.
The beauty of BGC is the nice juxtaposition of the commercial and residential living in a properly organized city.
If you are into healthy living and loves to exercise , its sidewalks are wide and clean and there are several parks where you can run and exercise. There are also many membership gyms if you need one.
Even at nightime , walking or running around BGC is very safe.
The peace and order there is privately maintained by Ayala marshalls that's why it's more efficient and more effective.
The government police normally acts as support only and it's usually the marshalls who have the jurisdiction if there are troubles in the BGC streets.
Usually you can observe that marshalls are fitter than the government police because because they are required to perform physical exercises.
I usually see groups of marshalls run around BGC during weekends.
My knowledge and experience about BGC is from my 2 years of working there 😉
Thanks. I always appreciate it when people take the time to add very detailed comments with extra information of the area. Always good for viewers to get the extra info. Once I do over views of the areas, like this video, I will start probing more for little hidden places and places less known. Thanks.
Great videos . Keep it coming 🙏🏻👍
Luv da Bgc🌆 Nightlife🌙
It’s a cool place
Wow I love your video. Pubs, bars and the likes are the ones that stays open very late at night if not until 1am or 2am or even 5am (those that caters to BPO employees). I think there are a number of those around Makati Avenue. And oh before I forget the videoke bars also stays open late. I'm sure you must have known by now how most Filipinos loves singing. You just can't find them around BGC though.
Yea. Certainly in 2019 there were bars around Poblacion and P.Burgos that stayed open 24/7. At the moment there are a quite a few in that area that will open until 4am.
Good afternoon, am a Filipino and never been to BGC, bec i spent half of my life here in Saudi working as overseas contract worker for 20 yrs.. I enjoyed watching your vlog.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed. I’ve been living in Manila for 3 years. Hard to imagine how much has changed in 20 years. I’m sure you will be happy to return.
I love your videos.you narrated your stories in details.new subscriber here.i am looking forward on the next video.mabuhay!
Thank you so much. I have so many favourite places I want to film and subscribers are giving a lot of recommendations I’ve never been to. I think I will be busy for a while😂 but I’ve live here for three years and don’t plan going anywhere. So I will be busy for a while 😊
i was on the twitch livestream with techtourist when you were filming this video , that is how i just discovered your channel cheers !!!!! best of luck you Mr Paddy
Cool. I filmed another walking tour yesterday and ended up being invited to a table and making new friends. I’m enjoying this 😄
@@NicandPaddyVlog yes planning on hanging out with them late august to early to mid september hope to see you there
I was born in the Philippines, there are some places that are not safe for foreigners and Filipino alike. BGC, Makati the business district are safe. Thanks for sharing your experiences there. Watching from Washington D.C…
Yea, totally agree. Some places I would totally avoid. Some places are less safe. But still comparable to other big cities around the world. I would rate Metro Manila overall as a very safe city.
Metro Manila is a lot safer now than many American cities; just my opinion from what I see on the news and YT videos.
Hi Paddy! We're in your vlog. I thought when I saw your DP you were familiar. We're the people right in front of Nikkei's sign. We said 'Hi'. Good job bro! Subscribing to you.
Cool. The table of about six having a girls night out? Say hi next time 😊
@@NicandPaddyVlog the table of three👌
Just enjoy your tour mate, in every corner of the world their is always good and the bad!
Cheers.
New subscriber here WOW Beautiful BGC 😍
Thanks. Yea, BGC is pretty unique
Lively indeed, please do a vlog on the other side of the BGC, the Uptown BGC area, that is even better at night. Cheers!
Will do. I’ve had a few great nights at Versus Barcade. Thanks
Wow super amazing...
It’s a bubble. But it’s a pretty cool bubble and there’s a few of them around
Actually just filmed the Rockwell bubble today. Will upload it tomorrow
i am also working there in BGC and there was a fire inside a non operating cinema at Uptown Mall. But, of all the business districts in Manila, I can say BGC is the best workplace.
I might have seen you somewhere in BGC haha
We heard a lot of sirens yesterday, heard they were in Uptown, but didn’t know what happened. Thanks. Say hi next time 😊 cheers.
Great video! New subscriber here!
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed. More to come 😊
hope you really enjoy vloging here in the philippines...
Yea. It’s a lot of fun. Both this video and on the Greenbelt video, I made new friends while doing it.
..and everybody there is well-behaved, unlike here in Europe where a few drinks turn some people into hooligans, with brawls and swear words.
You’re absolutely right. I’m from Northern Ireland, and that happens a lot. Loving the friendly chilled out atmosphere here.
@@NicandPaddyVlog I know the UK a lot since it was my second home, having been married to an Englishman for forty years
Just found your channel nice
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed
Where you’re are very safe and really clean. Was lockdown there in Manila o the first strike of COVID 19 . Now back in the USA
Yep. BGC is a bubble
Love Manila
Which are your favourite parts / places here?
@@NicandPaddyVlog intramuros. Fort santiago. Casa Manila. Have you visited?. Eat at barbaras resto in intramuros and do the bamboo bike tour of the area.
Yep. One of my earlier videos, my gf and I went to Intramuros, La cathedral, Bell cafe, and Fort Santiago. Haven’t been to Casa Manila though.
@@NicandPaddyVlog visit casa manila inside intramuros
Moving to BGC in May from Oz. Lets meetup if you're keen as I would like find out more about your experiences and recommendations in the neighborhood. I shout you a beer
Cool. See you soon then. Which part are you moving to in BGC?
@@NicandPaddyVlog Hopefully somewhere near High St but it depends what's condos are available for rent when I get there.
What camera do you use sir? Amazing shots and stabilisation.
For the walking tours I use a DJI Osmo gimble and an iPhone. I also have a Sony ZV1
People are open minded heart,,,,not defensive character,,,free the feelings not to depress
Yea. I did a tour of Greenbelt yesterday. Will upload the video tonight. Made new friends on the tour and we hung out and had drinks for hours after.
superior and very high end city...aesthetically superior than singapore
Yea. It’s an impressive city. And much more affordable than Singapore so it’s easier to enjoy more of it.
I love City Walks. By any chance do a Clark City, there's also a foreigner based in Clark doing vlogs there but he's more feature rather that walk.. The city is almost complete..
Thanks. I’ll check it out.
what's up man ??? great vlog ...... just curious cuz I can't recognized your accent ..... are you from the u.k or germany ??? sometimes when you talk,I hear some dirk nowitzki from you ... I don't know if you know him,but he's a nba superstar who played for the dallas mavs & retired a couple of years ago ......
Cheers. Yea, seen him play(on TV). I’m Irish. Northern Irish to be exact. Lived abroad for a while so accent has neutralised a little.
The surreal feeling of ease when walking at BGC is incomparable to NY, when i first got to BGC i was too mesmerized to say how there were almost no homeless people, each corner was spotless and a lot of open areas to stroll.
City ambience of BGC at it's finest, no rodents infested not to mention the poeple there were accomodating. Truly the safest city i've been so far.
Yep. Not how many people can imagine these places in the Philippines.
👍👍👍
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed.
💖💖💖
Thanks.
The civilization there is awesome. Please go to the provinces and the surroundings isn't like that in BGC. Provinces of the Philippines are known for beautiful country sides.
Hi. Yep. I’ve been hiking a few times around Rizal. Made a video of Nagpatong and Mt Kulis.
Also please cover other business districts of Metro Manila like Filinvest City Alabang, Eastwood City, Ortigas Center, Araneta Center, Alabang Westgate, Ayala Center Makati, Greenfield District, Circuit Makati, Mc Kinley Hill and the Venice Grand Canal Mall, ASEANA City, Rockwell Makati. Thanks
Thanks for the recommendations. I took a screen shot.
@@NicandPaddyVlog Cool, can't wait for ur vlog tour soon...
Try Venice grand canal. It's near BGC probably just 5 mins away.
Thanks. Hope to do it this weekend.
You’re like a native of makati city . Or the Philippines. Good luck to your stay in the Philippines
Been here 4 years 🙂
Part two sir this new video sir and Sir now its looking like normal well They have many people sir wow and They still wearing, a face mask sir
You can call me Paddy or Patrick 😊. It just makes me spend more time in Cafes, bars, and restaurants. Because I don’t like wearing a mask and we don’t have to in those places.
Sir no body like to wearing, mask me Also i don't like sir and how's the Restriction for face mask and social Distance but i can see sir its little bit Crowded of people sir and witch Places is that sir lot of restaurants And people wow its that place sir it's That a night place for or just normal Place sir for going, Shopping and it's For family buding, sir at this time sir i Am glad to see you're new video sir
Everything is normal and 100% capacity. It’s only the face mask
Ah okay! so that means sir it's back to normal all wow so fast sir it's only a two years but i think a wearing, face mask its now they using, now only in the public place sir like a crowded place like there in capacity it's that a place with many people sir
Much safer there than here in LA California .
Yes, the Philippines is open to the world. Hope Covid is a thing of the past.
Hopefully. Masks 😷 are a bit annoying in the summer heat and humidity
Great place shame about the masks....great video
Yea, masks are a little annoying in the summer heat. But other than that, it’s back to normal.
Can you smoke there?
High st definitely not. In Forbestown, some bars outside allow it. P. Burgos and Poblacion is more accommodating to smokers. Bars would allow it or have designated areas. Not many people here smoke or they Vape on small pens not creating the big clouds, vaping is much more accepted. Don’t walk around in public streets with a cigarette, you’ll get fined or arrested.
@@NicandPaddyVlog Thanks for the info.
Looks like I need a lot of money$$! Much better than Glendale CA's Americana , Old town Pasadena & even Santa Monica's promanade!
It’s the most expensive part of the Philippines along with Makati. But it’s luxury living for a lot less many other places. I’ve been on Santa Monica’s promenade. Great place.
@@NicandPaddyVlog Yup! Great thing that a do$$ar goes a long way unlike here!!
Be there in three weeks
Cool. Forbestown has become much livelier these days.
I bet.a change from.my usual trip away from sunny Dublin
p͎r͎o͎m͎o͎s͎m͎ 🌹
Thanks
A little constructive criticism - you've got a nervous laugh that comes out quite a bit. It makes it hard to watch. Get rid of that, and this video would be pretty good. I don't think I've seen any of your other videos, but I imagine the same holds true. Good luck.
Unfortunately that is my natural laugh 😂. I’m aware of it. Even in school my friends said I laugh like a machine gun.
Mostly (some not all)those alleged dog 🐕 lovers are walking 🚶♂️ their 🐩 🐶 DOGS along High Street BGC, are making themselves as Richy ! Dogs became as STATUS SYMBOLS , like wearing a Rolex watch or Patek Philip or the. Like brands! Or like wearing branded rubber shoes 👞! Some don’t even carry with them, I said some, I repeat, bags or wipes to clean 🧼 poofs of their loves ❤️ .Pls respect my thoughts 💭 as I respect ✊ yours. Philippines 🇵🇭 is supposed to be a Democratic Republic! ThankQ
Yea, I agree they are a bit of a status symbol here. But also, it’s a good way for people to socialise. And I’ve never seen any dog poop lying around.
Most secret Filipino millionaires owns fighting "COCK" not dogs!!! See them even in the province!!!
Can't figure out the connection you were trying to make between dogs and the Philippines supposedly a Democratic Republic.+ Edit: You come across as someone who hates things he can't have and people he can't become. Stop being salty and get a life!
@S.T Santos. No deep meaning to it😄 if you’re in BGC, you’ll see a lot of dogs. As you can see in the video.
@@NicandPaddyVlog i was responding to Alakdan Hilario's comment.
Its more dangerous in a gated exclusive villages because thats where bigtime drug lords and corrupt politicians, big time criminals rich people live. They never go out with out carrying a gun. Compare walkimg to a local villages and streets of metro manila. Where true filipino lifestyle lives.
I’m not rich enough to live in those gated communities 🙃.
saan mo nman nakuha ang tsismis na yan? Pati d2 dala mo ang pagka Marites mo.
@@edmhie1 hahaha! Dame ng marites na ngkalat noh, katakot😂
Being a Marites, specially when you are Beta proclaiming a "Man" is much more dangerous than the story you are peddling to other people. Don't generalize Soy boy.
@@edmhie1 🤣🤣🤣nu ka ba.psst kilala mo ba si marites.baka Alam na.
thanks for staying and living in the Philippines. do you have Instagram for us to follow? thanks.
Hi. Thanks. It’s a great place to live. I need to get more active on IG. But it’s same name - Paddyinthephilippines
@@NicandPaddyVlog ok will follow :) more success to u.
Luv da Bgc🌆 Nightlife🌙
Uptown BGC is really taking off now for nightlife.
