I went to the Philippines last year and all I thought was its a poor country but to my surprise it was actually a modern Rich country with all the beautiful islands, beaches and cities ❤️
It's a shame Philippines is known to be a poor country where in fact it's much more modern even comparable to other rich Asian countries.. Well, this is what media can do..
@@lololol34561 developing very slow... considering that in late 50's early 60's Philippines had the second highest GDP/capita in Asia, after Japan, above South Korea, Taiwan, Arab countries, etc.
@@marcrchz There are many places that have been rehabilitated since the younger mayor took the position. Have you traveled to many places in the Philippines? If you did you wouldn't say so. In the US the riches country homeless and vagrants are everywhere. They make a lot of mess. Many buildings are not modern, etc etc. The Philippines' capital is not different from other countries' capital they all share the same situation. But the Philippines and other Asian's big cities are more modern compared to European's capital cities.
I wanna ask if yall Chinese people hates our skin?its because when i saw them looking at me as if they are talking bad stuffs about me. I'm a filipina btw😊
@@taevrsq205 Oh Noooo, i believe whoever acting that way is a very rude and uneducated person, Chinese like Filipino, these are the commons i got from my Chinese friends who visited Manila or living in Manila, please ignore those whoever acting arrogant , they don't deserve you to "mind " them
and i married chinese.i got lucky because my In-laws is very caring to me, don't want me to do the cleaning as much as possible and always cook and takes care of my kids
I think of all the foreign vloggers in the Philippines during the COVID-19 pandemic, Jumping Places is really the winner. Getting stuck in Palawan was a great opportunity for you to showcase places off the beaten path, while others were either stuck in the city or have resorted to non-travel content. The Department of Tourism should cite you as tourism ambassadors for promoting Palawan amid the pandemic.
something about the Philippines just makes me feel like home. I'm from Indonesia and I feel like the Philippines and Indonesia has so many similarities that I can't really tell what it is. Salam from Indo my friends! 🇮🇩🇵🇭
I love these couple.. No dramas to get a lot of subscribers.. They really just want to travel and show the places. respectful and humble. More success and God bless you both!
I went to Manila many times and is really beautiful and many places are very clean..more than many famous European cities...Bellissima Manila ❤ A presto..I hope to see you soon again.
Hey! I'm a Malaysian who's residing in Makati right now, if you're still around lets hangout and grab some drinks together and share our experiences here in the PH.
I love Makati! It was my first time in the Philippines and Makati was cleaner and more modern than most American cities. Can't wait to go back! I reviewed one of the hotels there called Citadines which was a great place to stay.
@@DitoOfficio I went around to different areas and I'm sorry I don't recall the name of the different neighborhoods. I did go to the famous Chinatown as well as where the giant Mall of Asia is (I think it's one of the biggest in the world). Perhaps because I was riding the euphoria of my trip, everything looked beautiful to me!
@@Travelteez it wasn't chinatown tho but it's Manila bay Area, Once you return I recommend going to BGC(basically a cleaner makati) and binondo(the real chinatown of the NCR) Glad you enjoyed you enjoyed my place! :)
I mean it ain't just makati and BGC. There are so many other places too. If you want the Filipino Vibe, you should visit Rizal Park as well as Manila bay. They just rehabilitated Manila bay and it looks absolutely beautiful.
Me and my family left the 🇵🇭 in 1988 to Chicago. I was 12 years old then. Been living in 🇺🇸 since then. I'm now 47 and blown away by the great changes 🇵🇭 has been. Cannot wait to retire and live back to my hometown - Cubao 💕
Yup, same here, I left the Philippines when I was only 11 years old in 1961 or so, I'm now much older, still here. I came alone, first class, my mother and grandfather waited for me at the L.A. international tarmac, it was different then. The plane crew took care of me. The pilots invited me to sit with them in the middle of the cockpit. Yes, the Philippines is so modern, advanced country. I'm happy for the country, no longer the poor country. I would love to visit one day.
Cubao is now totally different place than it was decade ago there are several modern building now in the area businesses are more active now than it was in1988 the year you left manila.
That's why I encourage foreign tourists that when visiting the Philippines (especially when the international travel ban to the country is lifted soon) DON'T SKIP the capital city in your itinerary. There are lots of interesting places to visit in the whole Metro Manila (which consists of 16 cities & 1 municipality). Each of it has different experiences and features to offer.

Hi Chris and Carol, My baby loves watching all your vlog. Whenever he cry, we just show him your videos and he will eventually smile and turn into a great mood. By the way , he is just 4 months. He is your youngest fan :-)
@@JumpingPlaces hi. hello you been in Philippines in 7 months? Men, if I have time I would stay less than a year in my homeland, Philippines. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, everyone for your appreciation of what you had experienced when you were here in our country. I hope you enjoyed it. Filipinos are very approachable, loving, and kind.
A neighborhood just a few stones throw away is another district even way more modern than makati. It’s BGC or Bonifacio Global City. Cities like them are all over Metro Manila. We have Eastwood City, McKinley Hills Village, Vertis North, Araneta Center, Filinvest City, Ortigas Center, Aseana City, Circuit Makati, Rockwell, Newport, etc...Being constructed are New Clark City, Arcovia, C5 Corridor, Capitol Commons, etc... Thanks for appreciating our culture and seeing our developments.
Thanks for sharing your brief walking tour of Makati. Its tuely an a amazing transformation of a country I left 50 years ago. It gave a me a nostalgic feelings of the past and an appreciation of the present. Thank you both.🤗
About 15 years ago I arrived in the Philippines to begin a 9-year stint living abroad. I spent the first several years living in Makati, and my favorite place to go was Greenbelt indoor/outdoor retail entertainment center. At the time, Cafe Havana had indoor/outdoor dining, an outdoor hookah lounge, and live band entertainment. It was quite the scene, especially with all the ladyboys preying on the old unsuspecting foreign men that were fresh off the boat who had no idea the "chicks" that were hitting on them has d***s, hahaha. And yes, there are quite a few uber-rich folks in Makati and the surrounding neighborhoods (Fort Bonifacio/Global City, Ayala Alabang, etc.). My first date with my wife was over 14 years ago at Greenbelt. Now we are back in the USA working our asses off, dreaming of retirement in a tropical country someday.
metro manila is very well developed city, great aesthetics, smooth pavements with underground and elevated walkways with escalators up and down to speed up mobility. better than most major cities in the world
I used to live and work in Makati. But, I’ve been living in Canada for 28 years now. I discovered your blog and watched this video. I now miss home! Thank you for giving this mini tour of Makati. I am now a subscriber. Take care, you guys!
@@golfgunsandcocktailschannelMetro Manila is a cluster of 17 cities all in all. Manila city, the oldest is where mayor Isko reigns. Makati city is the business capital of Metro Manila or the National Capital Region (1 of the 17 cities) is where these vloggers are atm.
The intro and the first minute are mostly Ayala Boulevard/Green-something cannot remember-food/restaurants, even if you live in MNL probably no need to go Ayala BLD. PH was an up & coming country in the 1960's , as was Burma/Myanmar. Peace out.
thanks for this vlog... many overseas Filipino workers like me would love to see most of your vlogs, it feels like you bring us back home in minutes...
I heard bgc was made because they can no longer raise buildings in Makati cbd. And owners/property dev of makati are the ones who purchased it and created a new financial/lifestyle district closer to makati cbd. While bgc is nice I still prefer the vibe in makati.
Those face shields have 2 protective plastic sheets you have to remove before use. Seems you guys only removed one so its kinda cloudy. Hope you enjoyed your stay!
Your videos and commentaries are always honest and insightful. I can easily learn a lot about the culture and society from your videos. Compared to other vloggers, your commentaries have more substance. More National Geographic or CNN kind of substance. Thank you for visiting the PH, and embracing the country, culture, and its people-with all its beauty and flaws. Will be watching and supporting your new adventures wherever it may be.
I'm already feeling sad, watching your vlogs sort of put me in a comfort zone during this pandemic. Moving forward I wish you all the best in your future.travels. The world is a better place because of people like yourselves.
Welcome to my great country. In past our loving country accept heartilly people who was driven away from other country because of their belief we Filipino welcomed then with all our heart to those who snub our country you too are welcome when the days come that you will be driven away you are wilcome to stay in my beloved Philippines. Thanks everyone . Whoever you are. ALHAMDULILLAH.
I used to walk these streets every single day! I worked and lived there. I just clicked on this video because I missed the place. I didn't used to think it was this beautiful. Thanks for sharing ❤
That is in Ayala, Makati City. One of PH's Central Business District. I know cause I've studied there in Ayala, Makati City for 4 years in college. My University is near Makati Medical Center and a few kilometers away from Landmark, Glorietta, Greenbelt and SM Makati. Ayala is actually a Privately owned land. Owned by Filipino-Spanish Billionaire Businessman Mr.Jaime Zobel De Ayala. He makes very luxurious lands in the country including BGC.
Makati City had been my home for 3 years before migrating to Canada. A walking distant or a jeepney ride to Ayala Ave or Makati Ave. I have great and fun memories while living in the city. With many changes that happened I don't miss Makati much, nothing is holding me back there. My favorite party place closed it's doors as well as the Precious Moments store near the Pasay border and the condo unit that I used to live was rented and I miss night swimming in that place.
A lot of tourists just skip Metro Manila and go straight to the provinces, so most of them are surprised what Metro Manila has to offer. Most foreigners depict the Philippines full of slum areas. There are yes, but if u go around, you will be surprised with beautiful houses, condos and stuffs.
well it's actually the Yellow Media like ABSCBN , CNN, Rappler who spread news about the poverty of the Philippines to the whole world. Then the gullible westerners think that the Phils is really damn poor so they send out donations etc to these media outfits but none of their donations really get to the poor 100%. Its 50% to their own pockets! Thats why these yellow media give a bad impression about the Phils to the whole world where in fact the Phil is a rich country pretending to be poor nation. Manila is a rich city, media only focuses the slum areas as part of their donation campaign..
@@reginaldhouse7731 Obviously you're from a remote province in the Philippines. LOL. The most prominent subdivisions and villages which have the biggest and most beautiful houses are in Metro Manila.
@@reginaldhouse7731 For one the vast New Manila area whichi sn't gated have the most beautiful gargantuan ancestral houses that you haven't even heard of because apparently you're not from Metro Manila. Probinsyanong dugyot!!! LOL
Thank you for letting us see the other side of the Philippines. Dang I miss Makati, in my younger years I used to work here before living outside the Philippines.
Like Sao Paulo & Houston :) From lush green El Nido to concrete jungle metropolis. I'm jealous and equally happy that you're really enjoying different sides of the Philippines. Who would have known that in your 2-year travel plan, 7 months would be spent there? Great choice, great results. Felicidades!
it is always a revelation to see your country from a foreigners perspective, things we take for granted as locals are really quite awesome when seen from tourists eyes. thank you for appreciating the Phils.
Makati can improve further. More greenery, bike lanes, elevated/underground walkways, proposed subway. Green bldgs and public transpo. Housing for its informal settlers, underground cables etc
Not to burst your bubble but we do have greenery , Ayala Triangle Garden, Makati Park, Circuit Makati, Washington Sycip Park, Legazpi Park, etc. We also have many elevated and underground and modern looking walkways. We have green buildings and transpo too, ever heard of the E-Jeepneys and those P2P Buses? We have public housing, the Makati Public Housing have been around for decades. We also have better healthcare and education wise Makati provides many free supplies. Citizen wise we also have many perks especially for the elderly. Not all cities have those benefits even if BGC have the most gorgeous architecture.
@@georgiebennett3336 Not enough. With the kind of budget makati is getting, you guys should at least be in the level of HK or singapore on a per square kilometer basis. Ang makati public housing (FM project, not makati/local), indigent people ba pinatira jan or people close to city hall? Also ilan units/clusters lang ba yan compared sa dami ng indigents/IS elsewhere like the 'embo' bgys or those near old sta ana racetrack (circuit makati). Ang e-vehicles nyo, ilan porsiyento compared to total public transpo? The elevated walkways sana ituloy til makati med, at lagyan ng buendia counterpart as originally planned. Also air quality in makati is not as good compared to other parts of ncr/phl Bottomline, remove ayala cbd in makati and it is just any other city in the country, or worse
Funny that you talked about Rio de Janeiro, I live in a city in the metropolitan region of Rio and I was thinking about how Makati looked like São Paulo.
I love Brazil. I'm Filipino working in BPO company serving Brazilians. Brazilians are very respectful people. I love your country clean green. Long live Amazon😘.
Oh nooo...! Can't believe it's starting to gt real... Gonna miss you guys... I must say, --feel like I've known you guys a while, watching all the amazing video's you guys have put out there with all the spectacular views. From the astounding marine life, to a simple exploratory walk by the beach, to the most breathtaking sunset, and all the other sites that are equally picturesque in beauty or greater that you both have shared with all of us(your viewers)... It has, genuinely, been an amazing experience every time I watch you two. THANK YOU. You both will truly be missed.
When Chris showed the Greenbelt Mall (the jungle in the middle of the mall), i was worried he would jump into the water and swim with the Koi fishes. Hey Chris, this ain't El Nido! Lol
@@JumpingPlaces I went home to the Philippines 12 years ago and I love makati city and I stayed at my dad's sister's condo in makati city near greenbelt shopping mall and I love it but I don't like the heat
Makati is the business district hence the tall buildings but there are also other cities in Manila that are fast developing where you can also see great structures. BGC, Quezon City, Manila and even the neighboring towns also boasts of great things to see. You should’ve explored more the Phils now that travel and tourism has opened up a bit! There are surely be great contents for your subscribers to watch! Well, at least you have something to look forward to on your next visit!
If you get the chance to visit the Philippines again, try to visit other areas of Manila like BGC, Alabang area and Eastwood City. In the meantime, enjoy your family in Portugal and keep us posted with your journey. Keep safe!
Bonifacio Global City in Taguig (Metro Manila) is actually surpassing Makati when it comes to modern buildings and financial district (In my openion). You may want to visit the place as well. 😉
@@virgiliomartinez6115 Nope, I've been in both worlds and Taguig is now surpassing Makati. Taguig is the way more expensive than Makati. btw, it's "multinational companies". Keep safe😉
@@sidzky86 where did u get ur information? i have a fact that makati is the philippines richest country..maybe bgc has a modern building but the point is makati still tje richest city and thats the fact!

Glad you liked Greenbelt. It was one of my favorite hangouts when I lived in Manila. They have a fast food center in the basement of Landmark where you can choose from a wide variety of more economical food and a supermarket too. Take care guys! Enjoy your stay in Makati. 😊
I went to the Philippines last year and all I thought was its a poor country but to my surprise it was actually a modern Rich country with all the beautiful islands, beaches and cities ❤️

Manila + the Philippines is so underrated.

Thank you for loving my country Philippines. It makes me proud to be a Filipino 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Cringe overproud
Ph is great ❤️
Hi Chris and Carol, My baby loves watching all your vlog. Whenever he cry, we just show him your videos and he will eventually smile and turn into a great mood. By the way , he is just 4 months. He is your youngest fan :-)
Best comment! 😁
Haha cool.. his voice is also somehow comforting
@@JumpingPlaces hi. hello you been in Philippines in 7 months? Men, if I have time I would stay less than a year in my homeland, Philippines. Thanks for sharing.
@@JumpingPlaces where is the location of Jollibee you had? Thanks again.
Wow, Phiillipines is really beautiful country, 😍😍😍love from india🇮🇳.
Thanks, everyone for your appreciation of what you had experienced when you were here in our country. I hope you enjoyed it. Filipinos are very approachable, loving, and kind.
A neighborhood just a few stones throw away is another district even way more modern than makati. It’s BGC or Bonifacio Global City. Cities like them are all over Metro Manila. We have Eastwood City, McKinley Hills Village, Vertis North, Araneta Center, Filinvest City, Ortigas Center, Aseana City, Circuit Makati, Rockwell, Newport, etc...Being constructed are New Clark City, Arcovia, C5 Corridor, Capitol Commons, etc... Thanks for appreciating our culture and seeing our developments.
New Clark city is outside metro manila.
Waah, dami pala. Di ko man lang napuntahan ang iba dyan.
vertis north is still rising up, once the slums have been fully removed it'll be the new ortigas
Covid test in Makati Medical Center is actually the one of the most expensive in Metro Manila, but it's a great hospital.
Hello 👉•••••☆beautiful☆••••••👈
Life is good in Philippines if you have money. Customer service is good and filipinos are kind
Thank you for loving my country Philippines🇵🇭…proud to be Filipino Mabuhay🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
@@mcmacshalfilya stop this BS
Thanks for sharing your brief walking tour of Makati. Its tuely an a amazing transformation of a country I left 50 years ago. It gave a me a nostalgic feelings of the past and an appreciation of the present. Thank you both.🤗
Great Content!
Oip
About 15 years ago I arrived in the Philippines to begin a 9-year stint living abroad. I spent the first several years living in Makati, and my favorite place to go was Greenbelt indoor/outdoor retail entertainment center. At the time, Cafe Havana had indoor/outdoor dining, an outdoor hookah lounge, and live band entertainment. It was quite the scene, especially with all the ladyboys preying on the old unsuspecting foreign men that were fresh off the boat who had no idea the "chicks" that were hitting on them has d***s, hahaha. And yes, there are quite a few uber-rich folks in Makati and the surrounding neighborhoods (Fort Bonifacio/Global City, Ayala Alabang, etc.). My first date with my wife was over 14 years ago at Greenbelt. Now we are back in the USA working our asses off, dreaming of retirement in a tropical country someday.
No more legendary cafe havana in G. Belt
metro manila is very well developed city, great aesthetics, smooth pavements with underground and elevated walkways with escalators up and down to speed up mobility.
better than most major cities in the world
I used to live and work in Makati. But, I’ve been living in Canada for 28 years now. I discovered your blog and watched this video. I now miss home! Thank you for giving this mini tour of Makati. I am now a subscriber. Take care, you guys!
Manila is an amazing metropolis in the Philippines!
Mayor Isko did a marvelous job of making Manila a beautiful city. Amazing. Hope to be there soon.
@@golfgunsandcocktailschannelMetro Manila is a cluster of 17 cities all in all. Manila city, the oldest is where mayor Isko reigns. Makati city is the business capital of Metro Manila or the National Capital Region (1 of the 17 cities) is where these vloggers are atm.
The intro and the first minute are mostly Ayala Boulevard/Green-something cannot remember-food/restaurants, even if you live in MNL probably no need to go Ayala BLD.
PH was an up & coming country in the 1960's , as was Burma/Myanmar. Peace out.
@@damienomen68 Greenbelt. Glorietta Mall.
@@CintronEd what a propaganda, why this is not available to watch here in Philippines?
i live in the philipines but NEVER HAVE I EVER SEEN MAKATI its so much different than cdo
thanks for this vlog... many overseas Filipino workers like me would love to see most of your vlogs, it feels like you bring us back home in minutes...
Hi from Windsor Uk, so strange to see you both in such a built-up area, *Great vlog, good vibes,* thank you for sharing
PHILIPPINES VERY RICH COUNTRY.LOVE YOU PHILIPPINES.💝👌THANK YOU SIR/MA'AM
Thank you both for visiting our country Philippines. You are always welcome to visit our country. God bless u both.
I’m Filipino outside my country and my day is not complete if I don’t watch JUMPING PLACES Vlog... we love you guys..!
Jumping Places: Makati is insane!
BGC: Hold my beer 🍻😄
??? HAHAHAAHAH lolzzz
Nice tour and vlog. have a safe tour in my country, the Philippines.
Makati City is still better tho... bgc is all about fancy buildings but the transportation system sucks. Just mu opinion tho.
Makati has the most expensive properties and all the riches people live there.
I heard bgc was made because they can no longer raise buildings in Makati cbd. And owners/property dev of makati are the ones who purchased it and created a new financial/lifestyle district closer to makati cbd. While bgc is nice I still prefer the vibe in makati.
This video has changed my perception of Manila. This place looks incredible
Thank you mate. i don't know why western media typically depicts Metro Manila as this sort of slum, but it's not. It even ruined our tourism
BGC alone is highly sophisticated and advanced than western cities
Those face shields have 2 protective plastic sheets you have to remove before use. Seems you guys only removed one so its kinda cloudy. Hope you enjoyed your stay!
Your videos and commentaries are always honest and insightful. I can easily learn a lot about the culture and society from your videos. Compared to other vloggers, your commentaries have more substance. More National Geographic or CNN kind of substance.
Thank you for visiting the PH, and embracing the country, culture, and its people-with all its beauty and flaws. Will be watching and supporting your new adventures wherever it may be.
I'm already feeling sad, watching your vlogs sort of put me in a comfort zone during this pandemic. Moving forward I wish you all the best in your future.travels. The world is a better place because of people like yourselves.
Welcome to my great country. In past our loving country accept heartilly people who was driven away from other country because of their belief we Filipino welcomed then with all our heart to those who snub our country you too are welcome when the days come that you will be driven away you are wilcome to stay in my beloved Philippines. Thanks everyone . Whoever you are. ALHAMDULILLAH.
I used to walk these streets every single day! I worked and lived there. I just clicked on this video because I missed the place. I didn't used to think it was this beautiful. Thanks for sharing ❤
That is in Ayala, Makati City. One of PH's Central Business District. I know cause I've studied there in Ayala, Makati City for 4 years in college. My University is near Makati Medical Center and a few kilometers away from Landmark, Glorietta, Greenbelt and SM Makati. Ayala is actually a Privately owned land. Owned by Filipino-Spanish Billionaire Businessman Mr.Jaime Zobel De Ayala. He makes very luxurious lands in the country including BGC.
What's name of the University?
I feel sad you guys are leaving the Philippines. I love watching your Philippine vlogs regularly. But it’s different if you’re in another country 😔
We’ve been stuck overseas for months due to the pandemic. Makati is my hometown. Glad to have seen all these. Thanks guys!
Makati City had been my home for 3 years before migrating to Canada. A walking distant or a jeepney ride to Ayala Ave or Makati Ave. I have great and fun memories while living in the city. With many changes that happened I don't miss Makati much, nothing is holding me back there. My favorite party place closed it's doors as well as the Precious Moments store near the Pasay border and the condo unit that I used to live was rented and I miss night swimming in that place.
A lot of tourists just skip Metro Manila and go straight to the provinces, so most of them are surprised what Metro Manila has to offer. Most foreigners depict the Philippines full of slum areas. There are yes, but if u go around, you will be surprised with beautiful houses, condos and stuffs.
well it's actually the Yellow Media like ABSCBN , CNN, Rappler who spread news about the poverty of the Philippines to the whole world. Then the gullible westerners think that the Phils is really damn poor so they send out donations etc to these media outfits but none of their donations really get to the poor 100%. Its 50% to their own pockets! Thats why these yellow media give a bad impression about the Phils to the whole world where in fact the Phil is a rich country pretending to be poor nation. Manila is a rich city, media only focuses the slum areas as part of their donation campaign..
Beautiful houses? Where?
@@reginaldhouse7731 Obviously you're from a remote province in the Philippines. LOL. The most prominent subdivisions and villages which have the biggest and most beautiful houses are in Metro Manila.
@@jakinatividad9726 Again...Where? Where in Metro Manila are the beautiful houses that aren't in private gated communities?
@@reginaldhouse7731
For one the vast New Manila area whichi sn't gated have the most beautiful gargantuan ancestral houses that you haven't even heard of because apparently you're not from Metro Manila. Probinsyanong dugyot!!! LOL
Thank you for letting us see the other side of the Philippines. Dang I miss Makati, in my younger years I used to work here before living outside the Philippines.
love this vlog. You can see progress even amidst poverty and chaos. Love the diversity of the Philippines. Thanks for sharing.
yes Philippines is beautiful! and I am proud to be a filipino.Thanks for sharing one of our place in Makati.
*_Carol walks around Makati like a supermodel.. so perfect._* 😘😘😘
Like Sao Paulo & Houston :) From lush green El Nido to concrete jungle metropolis. I'm jealous and equally happy that you're really enjoying different sides of the Philippines. Who would have known that in your 2-year travel plan, 7 months would be spent there? Great choice, great results. Felicidades!
it is always a revelation to see your country from a foreigners perspective, things we take for granted as locals are really quite awesome when seen from tourists eyes. thank you for appreciating the Phils.
Perfect road, perfect buildings, & perfect cleanliness. Wowwwww
Incomparable night life too.
Makati can improve further. More greenery, bike lanes, elevated/underground walkways, proposed subway. Green bldgs and public transpo. Housing for its informal settlers, underground cables etc
Not to burst your bubble but we do have greenery , Ayala Triangle Garden, Makati Park, Circuit Makati, Washington Sycip Park, Legazpi Park, etc. We also have many elevated and underground and modern looking walkways. We have green buildings and transpo too, ever heard of the E-Jeepneys and those P2P Buses? We have public housing, the Makati Public Housing have been around for decades. We also have better healthcare and education wise Makati provides many free supplies. Citizen wise we also have many perks especially for the elderly. Not all cities have those benefits even if BGC have the most gorgeous architecture.
@@georgiebennett3336
Not enough. With the kind of budget makati is getting, you guys should at least be in the level of HK or singapore on a per square kilometer basis. Ang makati public housing (FM project, not makati/local), indigent people ba pinatira jan or people close to city hall? Also ilan units/clusters lang ba yan compared sa dami ng indigents/IS elsewhere like the 'embo' bgys or those near old sta ana racetrack (circuit makati). Ang e-vehicles nyo, ilan porsiyento compared to total public transpo?
The elevated walkways sana ituloy til makati med, at lagyan ng buendia counterpart as originally planned. Also air quality in makati is not as good compared to other parts of ncr/phl
Bottomline, remove ayala cbd in makati and it is just any other city in the country, or worse
@@fredtacang3624 Well theres a subway ongoing construction so
I totally agree with you guys... NOTHING beats Mother Nature! Safe travels, always ❤🤗
Wow Phillipine is very beautiful,Clean country and rich,modern also,Lots of love from Pakistan 🇵🇰 ❤️🙌🏻
Thank Pakistan from Philippines
Funny that you talked about Rio de Janeiro, I live in a city in the metropolitan region of Rio and I was thinking about how Makati looked like São Paulo.
I love Brazil. I'm Filipino working in BPO company serving Brazilians. Brazilians are very respectful people. I love your country clean green. Long live Amazon😘.
Oh nooo...!
Can't believe it's starting to gt real...
Gonna miss you guys...
I must say, --feel like I've known you guys a while, watching all the amazing video's you guys have put out there with all the spectacular views.
From the astounding marine life, to a simple exploratory walk by the beach, to the most breathtaking sunset, and all the other sites that are equally picturesque in beauty or greater that you both have shared with all of us(your viewers)...
It has, genuinely, been an amazing experience every time I watch you two.
THANK YOU.
You both will truly be missed.
Fun fact: "The coffee bean and tea leaf"is also owned by Jollibee corp.
whats the fun with that?
At least there is fact haha
yah ^_^
Chowking and manginasal and moree

My wish is to Visit Philippines, Because Philippines is my favourite Country ❤️, Love From INDIA 🇮🇳❤️
We love India also 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇵🇭
@@MindfulnessOnly 😊🇮🇳❤🇵🇭
guys you know what? I sincerely thank you for enjoying your stay here in the 🇵🇭..
When Chris showed the Greenbelt Mall (the jungle in the middle of the mall), i was worried he would jump into the water and swim with the Koi fishes. Hey Chris, this ain't El Nido! Lol
Haha 🤣
😂😂😂
@@JumpingPlaces I went home to the Philippines 12 years ago and I love makati city and I stayed at my dad's sister's condo in makati city near greenbelt shopping mall and I love it but I don't like the heat
Makati is the business district hence the tall buildings but there are also other cities in Manila that are fast developing where you can also see great structures. BGC, Quezon City, Manila and even the neighboring towns also boasts of great things to see. You should’ve explored more the Phils now that travel and tourism has opened up a bit! There are surely be great contents for your subscribers to watch! Well, at least you have something to look forward to on your next visit!
And Alabang too
We’ve now got so many tourists here on Boracay
how did you get in the country?
Too bad you missed the Makati and Manila night life. Well, there's always a next time.
If you get the chance to visit the Philippines again, try to visit other areas of Manila like BGC, Alabang area and Eastwood City. In the meantime, enjoy your family in Portugal and keep us posted with your journey. Keep safe!
Bonifacio Global City in Taguig (Metro Manila) is actually surpassing Makati when it comes to modern buildings and financial district (In my openion). You may want to visit the place as well. 😉
This was October and they’re in Portugal now.
nope,.makati is tje richest city in the phil..& still most of multinnational company is in makati.
@@virgiliomartinez6115 Nope, I've been in both worlds and Taguig is now surpassing Makati. Taguig is the way more expensive than Makati. btw, it's "multinational companies". Keep safe😉
@@sidzky86 where did u get ur information? i have a fact that makati is the philippines richest country..maybe bgc has a modern building but the point is makati still tje richest city and thats the fact!
BGC.. is in #7 rank jn terms among richest city..
My hometown ☺️
Traffic was terrible before covid. The traffic in your video still tolerable ☺️ It’s nice to see all the buildings and malls in Ayala through your video...it’s like I’m back in my everyday routine 😉
Thank yoi always for sharing your love in our country we will promise to continue watch your videos wherever places you guys jumpin in the future
It's great to see that makati is following safety protocols..
Yes during early 70s Makati is already has the tallest building in the Phils.
PHILIPPINES is really a beautiful country
Sending love from New York💜

Hahàha welcome to our own country bro😂😂😂😂😂
@@majestymelendres840 hahahhahahahhaha bkittttt sishhh hahaha
Philippines is Star ✨🇵🇭
Glad you liked Greenbelt. It was one of my favorite hangouts when I lived in Manila. They have a fast food center in the basement of Landmark where you can choose from a wide variety of more economical food and a supermarket too. Take care guys! Enjoy your stay in Makati. 😊
I would like to introduce this place...
THE PHILIPPINES
Cool video. My friend and I plan to spend 3 weeks in Philippines. We're more excited now. Thanks for sharing.
