the reason why probably a lot of Filipinos are watching foreigners doing travel blogs is because most of us has no time to travel đ so watching these wonderful travel vlogs like yours is like us going to those places without leaving the comforts of our own homes. Keep up the good work!!!! đ„°đ„°đ„°
You are now one of my most waited vloger. Thanks for being generous to the taxi drivers and tricycle drivers. This will feed their families and help their children with their education. I hope more tourists come to the Philippines to revive the economy...it has been 2 years since the country closed their borders to foreigners during the COVID-19 pandemic. God bless you! I believe in good karma and you will be blessed tenfolds. Keep on vloging đ
I know this money goes a long way for them because Iâve listened to how hard it is and have great sympathy for these honest and hard working men and their families. Thank you for supporting the channel and for sharing you considerate thoughts with me :)

@@MergimVlogsYT unbelievable !!!!
saw your Thailand videos with average views of about 2000 views only .
And then you moved to Philippines , suddenly your videos have an average of 100,000 views đ
Congratulations đ
Looks like you were right .
Philippines is 50 times better than Thailand đ
@@dongshengdi773 No the two countries are better than the other in different ways. Don't feed our ego and shame Thais.
@@dongshengdi773 it just tells you that too many Pinoys spend way too much time in social media instead of doing normal non-media related activities.
Another random acts of kindness and generosity, both of you and the locals, there's never a dull moment in this vlog
Giving is never a dull moment for us either :)
mr. mergim how about me...
Welcome to Philippines! The country of hospitality!
Enjoy your vlog and more blessings!
Virginia, USA
@@MergimVlogsYT No skipping to ads⊠cheers.
well his a good foreigner to asian people.
I think itâs clear to see you are genuinely falling in love with the Philippines and the Filipino people. đ„°
Not only with the Philippines, but also Filipinos to :)
@@MergimVlogsYT Itâs like meeting long lost friends wherever you go! May I recommend the hidden valley springs resort in Calauan? It is an oasis within nature only 2 hours from Manila. I promise with a quick Google search you will want to go.
Your vlogging strategy is meant to attract potential sponsorship, affiliate marketing and partnership/collaboration. Your approach is unique; you make other foreign vloggers content looks rubbish. I salute to you mate, you'll supersede the competition in your chosen niche.
So true. He already got free pastries from a restaurant the other day đ
For awhile there I was thrilled thinking Spiral already reached out to him till I heard him say he had to fork out an arm and a leg for this treat for his gf. ..I am pretty sure, in no time, Sofitel will invite him back to experience a world class hospitality just like what they did with vloggers such as Lost Le Blanc and more whose names I can't recall now.
That scene when you are running to help push the tricycle uphill is just showing you are enjoying your stay there. Just love to watch a genuine interaction in your videos.
Filipinos love you. because of your respectful demeanor
And I have huge admiration and respect for you guys too :)
The difference of view count from your Philippine vlogs is astonishing. The support there is just unbelievable. Coupled with your amazing insights, just a recipe for great entertainment. Kudos to both of you.
Man, that's one hella treat for your girlfriend on a mother's day here in the Philippines. Really had cost your arm and leg for a luxury buffet. But you know, sometimes we have to try something luxurious as long as it suits our budget.
Your channel is growing up each day and that's a good sign of achievement. Filipinos are wanting your vlogs and I can vouch for that 'cuz I really enjoy watching your contents too. Locals always say "hi & hello" whenever you greet them and smile to them. I guess you and your gf have been enjoying the country so far. Innit?
Take care guys. Until next time. â€ïžđđ”đ
having a little bit of history or something to say about the place where youâre at is something that sets you apart from other foreign vloggers not to mention that keeping your vlog below 15 minutes is enough to keep a busy person like me entertained. đ
Agreed, Bangkok Pat does a very good job too. You should reach out and collaborate with him.
i like how you interact with the locals and not just vlog the food, places etc. this country is mostly about the people! continue doing that and i guarantee you'll triple the fun in your philippine journey! btw, hope you mixed your halohalo well before eating it đ
Welcome to the Philippines! Would like to give you kudos for leaving/giving generous tips for your servers and/or drivers. With everyone just now recovering from the economic hardships from the pandemic, those tips go a long way for simple people like them. If you are a tourist planning to visit the Philippines and are reading this - come on in! Tell everyone of your stories of your visit like this man here. Help local tourism come back from the pandemic while you enjoy our country has to offer.
P.S. - I'm and Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW), and these videos; from the perspective of a tourist, gives us something to watch when that longing for home comes along. Keep them comin'!
It's good to see that you're enjoying your stay in Philippines...you deserve so much support for your quality works, it's always an interesting vids you have..and I'm always excited for new one đđ
Thank you for your awesome comment :)
Im so amazed how you present your videos with a brief of history on each place you go to. Its entertaning and quite educational. You give us awesome videos all the time. Looking forward for more videos with your remarkable stay here in the Philippines. Stay here for long time pls. đđđ
Glad you like them and thereâs many more to come :)
The Philippines is a vloggersâ paradise. The people are okay with vloggers filming them. You seem like a genuine guy so you will have no problem with the locals there and the viewers will also like you.
Concise, short but substantial, heart-felt. No frills, you simply enjoy the moment as it happens when it happens. More videos, please â€ïž
Your CZcams channel will be exploding in the Philippines, I can guarantee that. You have the right attitude which is perfectly suited with the locals. I have been watching your vlogs for the past two nights now. Thanks for tipping my kababayan I am sure they were very grateful đ
My attitude is just who I am in general and the locals have been really awesome to me on my trip :)
I could tell. It's very luxurious! I love the views. Your videos are always wonderful. Thank you again for visiting the Philippines and promoting the places. â€ïžđ”đ
You are very generous to the Filipinos, that is a big help in their daily lives, thank you very much, I hope you have more subscribers, so that you can help more .. thank you
The Filipinos and folks watching have also been very generous to me, so I thank you a lot :)
I love how you interact with locals, your way of vlogging is very entertaining too. Keep it up!
Yes! Finally! Something on the buffets. At least you're doing something new or different from the CURRENT slew of foreign vloggers covering the same places. You're first in the buffets for this season hahaha. Btw, we have also other slightly cheaper buffets that are good as well: Vikings, Niu (higher end of Vikings), 4 Seasons Hotpot, Heat (in Shangri-la), VikingsThe Alley (by Vikings) in BGC. But I'm not sure if The Alley survived the pandemic. Haven't been back there. It was quite new pre-pandemic
This buffet was hella expensive! I almost collapsed when I saw the bill!
@@MergimVlogsYT Ahahahaha. I was quite surprised you covered Spiral (I'm thinking it's too expensive for others to cover it this early) but knowing you stayed in the Binondo area I figured you were under a budget. I do wish you featured the different food stations more (like the cheese room). It's like you were too hungry and forgot to vlog by the time you sat down.
But you afford to give 500-1k tip to drivers. Hahaha!
@@MergimVlogsYT you're too generous for P500-1000 tip. 100-200 is already a big amount to tip though. Try to ask the fare first then try to huggle for the fare just like the other vloggers do. (same with Travis Feinđ ) Of coarse, everyone needs money ! you should also consider the budget while vloggingđ
Don't go to The Alley. Not worth it. NIU is highly recommended
Your Thailand Vlogs are very good.
You have an interesting style.
So many vloggers spend way too much time showing themselves and others out drinking
You actually educate your viewers.
Iâm enjoying your Philippine Vlogs.
You are one of the most respectful and responsible Vloggers as well.
Thank you for all the effort you put into your videos.
Youâre very good at editing as well.
Keep up the good work and hopefully youâll have many tens of thousands of subscribers as well.
Thank you for this vlog. I'm a Filipino and I was just in Laguna Province, and yet I can't go where you and your girlfriend are recording a vlog. Thank you for showing me what Manila looks like, and most of all, thanks for being so a generous person.
I Hope you get the opportunity to visit Manila sometime. Many thanks for watching and supporting the channel :)
One of the most booming subscribers and viewers foreign blogger with such a good heart â€ïž
Am I? Dayuummm thatâs mental :)
Thank you for your generosity to the locals, the extra money helps a lot. Watching from PA, đșđž đ
No worries and thanks for supporting me on here :)
Hi, Mergim! Sofitel actually has one of the best sunset views in the bay area. You should have stayed there after lunch! Glad youâre enjoying your stay in Manila.
We werenât planning to hence why left, but we had a sudden change of plan in the taxi :)
@@MergimVlogsYT Aaahhh thatâs right! Binondo is so close to the Manila Bay area and you have all the time to go back there to watch Manila Bayâs majestic sunset. Too bad that the city chose to cover up the stretch of the bay walk area, which makes it inaccessible to visitors. Anyway, looking forward to the rest of your Philippine vlogs!
@@Veruca_Na a better unobstructed view of the manila bay sunset is the promenade at the back of MOA. the main lobby of Conrad hotel nearby also offers great view of the sunset.
@@lcl9268 Hey, that's true and I agree 100%!
@@Veruca_Na deleted my comment since I missed reading the MOA recommendation. ^^ but yeah there are also buffets places in MOA
Filipino food is yummy!
I am really home sick
I miss Filipino food. Watching you guy's from Saudi Arabia enjoy
Oh itâs so good! Iâm really loving it :)
I discovered your blogs 2 days ago and Iâm hooked. Iâm from the Philippines migrated to US over 45 years ago. Have only been back 3 times. I enjoy discovering my native country, how it has changed and developed for many decades. Your content, presentation are very good and kept to about 15 min. I love your kindness, generosity and friendliness to my fellow men. Thank you for letting the rest of the world why they should come visit the PhilippinesâŠhas so much to offer: almost everyone speaks English, very friendly & hospitable plus all the beautiful places to see along with local cuisines. More power to you.
Your so kind hearted. Thanks for helping those fellow filipinos who are less fortunate. I love your videos!
Thank u for treating the filipinos with kindness and ur genorisity goes a long way đđđ
You know what, you are worthy to be subscribed because you are sooo kind, humble and generous! Be safe always and stay sweet and nice . Being nice is what we Filipinos really admire and love. God bless.
Youâre the modern King Richard, the lion hearted đ. Generous to the tricycle driver with his families. Bless youđđ». Subscribed the first time you talked about the Philippines and Thailand before you left Thailand. Subscribing doesnât cost anything and youâre worth to follow. Good contents. Thank you.
3:11 - In the Philippines, you use your spoon (preferably on your right hand) to scoop the rice with some of your preferred dish, and let your fork (on your left) push/squeeze the food to your spoon. Normally we don't use the combination fork and knife. We use spoon and fork. Except maybe in fine dining places. But really, using the spoon to scoop your food especially if you have rice so much easier.
Who needs a knife when you have a spoon right?
@@MergimVlogsYT : Yes, spear the big chunk of food with the fork then slice it with the edge of the spoon. That's mid-level Filipino cutlery skills. High-level skills require peeling off shrimp shells using just a spoon and fork (no hands).
This is now becoming a routine for me... Why am I smiling when watching your vlog? Keep being awesome!
Thank you for showing our country to the world. Love the quality of your content.
Thank you for having and supporting me here :)
You make me wanna go to visit the Philippines
Every thing looks so luxury
So generous, it will help them to feed their families. Hope you are having a blast. More fun in the Philippines.
Many more great things to come here in the Philippines :)
Thanks for being so generous to the Uber driver & also to the tricycle driver as well..take care..God bless đđ”đ
For a great sunset view, you can go to Kaulayaw Coffee in Antipolo. It's overlooking the city from mountain view. Around it are overlooking the city restos as well. For a grrat morning view where you may catch sea of clourlds, you can go to Cristina Cafe in Boso boso, Antipolo.
Thank you for tipping taxi drivers and tricycle drivers. The pandemic has hit a lot of people in the Philippines hard and I appreciate you helping out the best way you can. You just earned a new subscriber. May your channel grow even bigger in the future!
This was such an awesome video! Weâre not into buffet but the foods sure looks amazing! My husband & I are now itching to go to the Philippines and the Sofitel looks beautiful â€ïž The weather seems great at this time of yearâŠThanks for sharing this video đ
Iâm also not into them because I find the quality and taste to be usually lacking, but this place certainly didnât lack any flavor! Just be aware that itâs very pricey, so pricey I almost fainted when i saw the bill :)
Yes i think Sofitel a.k.a The Westin Philippine plaza before its a 5 star hotel? Correct me if im wrong, soo pricey you've got there...đ€đđđ”đ
@@MergimVlogsYT đđ€Łđ đ
You seem to be the most generous British vlogger to the locals there. I wish you more success. You donât complain & you & your partner seem so genuinely nice. Keep up the good workâ€ïžđđŒđđ
It's become a habit of mine to look for your vlog first once I wake up.your warm personality shows on every well prepared video that u make. And it helps brings out the best in the people u encounter though I must say that our country has the warmest of people around the globe.can't wait for your next vlog. Keep safeđ
So glad to see youre genuinely enjoying your stay in the Philippines! Love the vlogs
Ur channel is growing ! Love ur style of vlogging, ur v talented and put a lot of effort into editing. I can see ur genuinely enjoying this Philippines experience, look forward to your upcoming videos and hopefully ull reach 100K soon =)
Road to 100k letâs go :)
After more than a week of watching your vlog, I'm subscribing now! Thanks for being kind and generous. We appreciate your stay here, and hope you'd explore more of the Philippines! Good luck and stay safe!
You become instant celebrity man.soon you will meet up your subscribers.i see successful vlogger in Phil's falling I love with philippines and Filipino cultures
I know, Iâm getting spotted in the street and itâs all happening so quickly!
Canât wait for you and your gf to explore the islands! Way too beautiful and awesome experience!đ€©. Setting a notification now for more videos!đ€©đđ
I don't know why but even if I'm just watching, it makes me smile seeing those hardworking people smile when you give them tips. 500 pesos is a big deal as it can be 2-3 days of their earnings. Next time try going to SM Megamall in Ortigas or SM North EDSA. They have lots to offer and places to see and explore. You can also try visiting La Mesa Eco Park in Quezon City.
Thanks for featuring our band! Happy that you had an awesome time :)
Spiral is the GOAT of buffets in the Philippines. I was there for my birthday and they treated me like a king. đđ»đđ»đđ»đđ»đđ»
You've met two subscribers already, that's so crazy! Thanks for giving back to the community.
The beauty of the Philippines - the people...from the luxury buffet staff to the sunset crowd to the simple tricycle backride, with our favorite game basketball being played again and vloggers discovering them makes us happy.
I hope you stay longer in the Philippines! You're now my favorite vlogger because you really do research and give amazing cinematography, it is on point! Hoping you can schedule a live stream where you can do a Q&A for your subscribers. đ
That was quite an experience at the end đ thanks for your generosity to those hardworking drivers affected by the high gas price!
You make people around you happy. You are a gift to the people. They will protect you.
make watching mergim vlogs your early morning habit.!! đ will add spice to your day...well, literally..đ
Thanks a bunch pal :)
Tip for eating halo-halo = mix everything before the first bite. Halo-halo after all literally means mix-mix in English.
Yea sir :)
First again đ the fact that you chose pinoy food first is awesome,. Never seen that before
Brilliant! Kudos :)
Enjoying your videos since your arrival in the Philippines. Great content and especially your interaction with the locals is something you should be proud of. Keep doing the same and enjoy your time there. đ
so good to see a genuine dude vlog in the philippines. glad youâre having fun there! getting more famous by the week! thatâs awesome man! good tipper too! looking forward to more from you brođđ»đđ»
I like how generous you are to taxi/ tricycle drivers. I also like that you give a background story in your blogs. Hope you'll enjoy your stay in my beloved country.
I love how generous you are with the taxi and tricycle drivers â€ïž
Parang ang ganda na ng Maynila. Good luck on your exciting journey exploring the Philippines.
Yay!! I finally hear your gf's voice. I think you should include her in your vlogs sometimes. Girls need representations you know!! We love you both!!
Amazing. Thank you for being generous with our kababayan. That means alot with them.â€
Theyâve been really good to me just as you guys have so itâs the least I could do :)
I am really eager to watch your vlog every morning. Your vlogs are really cool. Even the generosity that you are giving to the locals is a plus. Looking forward to your vlog here in PH. Proud to say that I've been watching your experience here ever since you decided to try PH
Youre so kind with us Filipinos... God bless you always sir..
I love daily vlogs, makes me want to wait for uploads everyday. Also the reason why i got hooked to 8 miles from home, an English family now living in Siargao after they got stuck bec of the pandemic in 2020. Btw, halo-halo is mix-mix in English, and you're supposed to mix everything haha. Also, you pushing that tricycle is very Filipino lolđ
Enjoy your meal. I love watching your video in you tube. Made me homesick .I am watching in Scotland U.K.
I hope you get to visit here soon :)
Craziness half an hour to eat đ however Iâm so jealousâŠhavenât experienced the Spiral buffet at Sofitel and Iâve been here for 3 years.
Could you feel the hasty pace of at the begging portion of the video? I wouldnât have experienced it either if I knew how much the bill was gonna come to đ
@@MergimVlogsYT đ sorry I forgot to tell you how much it cost! But anyways glad you had a marvelous day đ Filipinos love basketball!
Food here is very expensive... But I see some who commented that its worth it... Hope to see you in Manila, we'll go there probably this weekend God willing.
Itâs extremely expensive and it most certainly broke the bank for me
looks like you two are genuinely having fun & the locals are amazing. Maybe this will turn into a permanent move. Just one question, does your girlfriend have a name?
I think youre onto something here, and btw her name is babe lol
@@MergimVlogsYT looks like your prediction on how well you would do in just one week in Philippines was spot on. I'm happy for you
what a wonderful vlog keep it up
Thank you :)
that ADOBO is adoba of Visayas region which is different from the north as what the che said. it has different taste though. we call it Humba in Cebu
Thank you for clarifying what the chef said, I could not quite work out what he was saying so Im pleased you clarified that up :)
you're so generous, i watch tourists on youtube go around the country but i haven't seen anyone as generous as you, thank you :)
I saw a couple youtuber raising their voice to Filipino tour guide coz he said climbing up Tinuy an false is not allowed w/o a tour guide, they are showing the guy how mad they are. I immediately unsubscribe & never watched their videos anymore. Good luck to this couple vloggers.
@@arkipadoom6431 where can i find the video?
Halo Halo is the best Filipino dessert especially during summer time đ
I got some crazy brain freeze eating that halo halo :)
@@MergimVlogsYT You did? Considerating you came from a cold country, I assumedâŠâŠ.Have fun!âŠ.May 10, 2022
Keep on vlogging in the Philippines... Your video contents are most love by Filipinos of the Philippines. We love foods, places kindness and respect to all people is an awesome content gaining respect of Filipinos... Your conents are worth a hundred thousands Subs..... Thanks. Have a nice day.....
So generous with tips âđŒđđŒ
Just looking out for one another :)
Love watching Mirgim Vlogs so good heart u have..and friendly and respect Filipinos!
2nd time watching thisâŠbeen itching 2go2 Spiral and I had to share this to my friends â€ïžđ”đ
I hope you get an invite at Spiral. Honestly you didnât get your moneyâs worth arriving there and had only 30 minutes left before closing.
Go to SM Mall of Asia so you can get a better view of the sunset. I love watching your vlogs! Keep it up!
Yeah itâs on my list :)
Sir could you make another Q&A video or review here in the philippines after 1 week experience .
Q&A video would be super easy, but how about we schedule it for a key milestone :)
thanks for sharing your blog in our contry and promoting it. hope you enjoy your food trip. and stay safe. im really supporting those who support our country stay safe. đđâđđđand God bless you two.
Look at those meals!!! I would just keep stuffing everything in my mouth đ
Have fun!!
Same, I wish I had enough time to get more
Nice place to have lunch at Spiral on special occasion, just have to go early there so you can enjoy it much better. Enjoy Manila.
We should have but then it would of been a waste of a day coming all the way out rhere
Guys, I highly recommend for you to visit (Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar) in Bataan province, just north of Manila, before you head south to the Visayan islands.
thanks for the suggestion :)
@@MergimVlogsYT There's a closer restaurant version of this in QC. Of course, not quite like the original but t's quite difficult to go there unless you have your own car. But they do have their own transpo services if you intend to stay there overnight.
@@MergimVlogsYT You're welcome.
Your a kind & generous person, thank you for visiting Philippines. Just relax while vlogging & enjoy the beauty of our country. Stay safe!
Spiral lost many of their key chefs because of the pandemic:(. We were there a few months ago and noticed the less-than-stellar (Iâm being kind) food (we had eaten there a good number of times before the pandemic), especially the desserts. We had to talk to a manager. He sadly confessed the personnel problem. They lost their pastry chef, for example. Iâm hoping it goes back to its former glory. Youâre better off going to the Manila hotel. Their standards were kept up and kept on, including their international chefs. Food was still amazing.
You have doubled your subcribers now after a few days of being in the Philippinesđ”đ. Probably within a month you will be reaching 100,000 subs already. Your vlogs are worthy of a Tourism Guide to travellers and tourists alike. Youâre on fire now!!!đ„đ„đ„
If I reach a 100k, what do I even do with that sort of number, anyway Iâll worry about that when I get there! Letâs keep ploughing through :)
What a shame to go to spiral super late and just to eat just Filipino food. Also, I love how generous you are to your service providers. It goes a long way. Thank you.
Why a shame? Seriously, I know youre trying to say good words.. but rephrase your words Nolo.. coming earlier or late, best is our friend Mergim enjoyed, right Mergim ;)
@@chaimgevaldik1918 lol it has different meaning, its like saying 'what a pity', it does not imply 'shame on you'.
It means why was it rushed? A valid Q? In the future i plan to go to Spiral 6 months in advance and go on a 3 day fast. For a simple worker 70USD is def not cheap THIS IS AN OCCASION not a random lunch date. Monumentalđ
Your so generous....thanks for being here in the philippines
to get your money's worth at an expensive buffet go for the SEAFOOD like crab, lobster, etc.
Thatâs true lol
Nice to see you're getting recognized. Your style of quality vids is paying off in the PH. đ
I just hope your generous amount of tipping won't raise the expectation of drivers on tips from other foreign tourists.
Iâll definitely check out #Spiral buffet when I set foot in Manila. Wow, you are so generous! Great heart and great vibes, thatâs what you are. Keep it up! Enjoying every bit of your vlog. More power! đâ€ïžđ”đfrom Pinoy in LA, CA
Appreciate it pal! Just a word of warning that spiral broke the bank for me, so defiantly inspect the buffet menu carefully, other than that, youâll have a cracking time :)
@@MergimVlogsYT Thanks for the heads up!
Always looking forward to your new vlogs. Just enjoy the city.
Spiral buffet is the best, but expensive. Halo halo and the superb cheese station are the winners. I still didnt sleep monitoring the latest election count. Congrats to BBM and Sara, and kudos to President Duterte for a job well done
I almost had a heart attack when I saw the bill!
Iâm really enjoying and appreciating your work. Youâre stepping the quality with the embedded cool history lesson. Will recommend for sure to get you to 100k subs.
Just avoid too much clickbait and be honest and real about your experience and opinion. Dont use too much adjectives to gain more views and subs. We filipinos stick to those who are genuine and honest and we can see the difference.
Appreciate that helpful tip bud and thank you for supporting the channel :)
You have a good heart Mergim. Youâre generous to the less fortunate folks in our country. Theyll remember your good deeds long after youâre gone there. Your blog will gain massive following as Filipinos home and abroad love seeing that.
