- One of the cleanest, safest, advanced and modern cities in to world is contained in a little bubble right in the middle of Manila. I go on a day time tour of High St BGC. I will return again for a night time video when the cafes bars and restaurants come to life.
I have made other videos of the area nearby in the links below:
• BGC High St, Manila Ni... - BGC Hight St night tour. Looks totally different
• FORBESTOWN, BGC. MANIL... - Forbestown BGC at night.
• Nightlife BGC, Manila ... - Date Night around BGC.
• Vaccinated in BGC, Man... - Getting vaccinated in BGC
Hi Paddy, thank you for breaking the stereotype of the Philippines being Third world. A lot of foreigners think our country has only huts and coconut trees and 100% full of poverty. It’s because international and local media only like to highlight the poorest sides of our country.
Keep doing what you are doing and you’ll end being one of the famous foreign vloggers in our Country. Filipinos love to watch foreigners vlogging in our country. Cheers!
Thanks. Glad you saw I was being ironic. Some people got offended and I had to explain the above a few times. I’ll pin your comment to the top, for people to read first if they get the wrong idea - missed my intention. Cheers.
Hahaha,Girlie they thought we are living under the tree and eating coconut haha ,Bravo...
Technically the Philippines is not even a 3rd world country. Most 3rd world are in Africa.
I’m a foreigner and i love BGC. Lived just a couple blocks away from Uptown Mall. Really beautiful place.
Cool 😎
I'm from Philippines and never been to NCR so happy when someone make a tour about manila it feels like I'm also walking there while watching LOL
Thanks. I made another video of High st last night. It’s totally different vibe at night. I start from the top and walk down the other side. Everyone is out with their dogs and enjoying the many bars and restaurants

Same here! I'm from Las Pinas Metro Manila & this is so new to me!
Kabayan, dayo ka rin sa aking channel. Meron din akong vids of different Manila areas, perspective ng lokal. Salamat!
Yep, Anthony. I totally plan to. I also made earlier videos of Intramuros. But I have a plans to show all sides of Manila. I just wanted to break down stereotypes with this video and show there are places in the Philippines better than Singapore.
I don't know why people has notion of Philippines as a third world country! Philippines is a developing country, and Filipinos are friendly, warm, very resilient, very skillful, innovative people. I cannot think more other words than to be the best, hence though they doesn't care what other people think.
Read the top, pinned comment. I was being ironic and breaking down stereotypes
Philippines is my go to destination in southeast asia. I just want to visit the country within this year. Miss you Philippines ❤️
Yep. Cool place. Lives here 3 years.
Wow very clean Philippines like new York. Well developed and maintained. From Sri lanka💞
Yep. It’s very impressive and not everybody expects it.
Actually way better than NYC
I’ve been here for a week.. it’s weird.. it just doesn’t feel you’re in a typical Manila .. which is so hectic and jam packed. I’m impressed how they keep this place environmentally and ecologically friendly.. it’s awesome!!!
Yea. It’s a bit of a bubble. But I like the bubble. Same with Greenbelt. Really tranquil
@@NicandPaddyVlog There's a lot of "bubbles" like this in Manila which are basically like Business Districts or Townships like Makati and BGC. To name a few there's also Ortigas, Eastwood, Araneta City, Circulo Verde, Rockwell, Malate, Binondo, Scout Area and New Manila in Quezon City and there's also Bay Area or Aseanna where most Casinos are. Triangle Park or Quezon City Business Park would be a massive business district once completed and all areas are connected. It'll cover the areas of SM North EDSA, Vertis North, Veterans Memorial, Eton Centris or covering the whole stretch of EDSA from East Ave to North Ave and until QC Memorial Circle. It'll be the Manila's center of commercial developments in the coming years per World Bank as 4 railway lines would have stations here including the grand common station and would have direct access to NAIA via the Subway line and the under construction New Manila International Airport in Bulacan through MRT-7 Phase 3.
@@evenhandedbish3966 and there's also Arca South which will be like BGC, being develop by Ayala. In the southern luzon there's Nuvali also developed by Ayala.
Not a bubble, but new cities versus old city
Im glad to hear from you that you appreciate the beauty of BGC. Currently, Theres another smart city like bgc is being built. It is in clark pampanga if you know that place. Maybe 2-3 hours away from metro manila but the city is not already finish. 5-10 years from now clark pampanga is the second bgc of the philippines. If im not mistaken it is much bigger than bgc.
I was in Clark last week. You can do it in about 90 mins without much traffic from Manila when you take the new Skyway. It should be pretty spectacular and popular with the new airport there now.

Clark Global City which is in Pampanga is smaller than BGC. What you must be referring to is the New Clark City in Tarlac and Pampanga which is half the size of Metro Manila and also encompasses Clark Global City as one of its districts.
Agree, Ph is a very diverse country witj beaches and modern cities. In metro manila, we already have a "singapore", "nyc" and "Vennice" vibes. Then there areas with old style like Intramuros and Ongpin. That's why you'll never get bored exploring here, as long as you have travel budget to check and travel places. Try visiting Vennice McKinley taguig next :)
Was thinking of going to Venice tomorrow.
@@NicandPaddyVlog try the Mercato in Vennice. The street food market :D
When I left the Philippines in 1994, BGC doesn´t exist yet. But look how fast they developed the place. I´m from Central Philippines but studied and worked in Manila in the 80s and 90s. Everytime I go home, I booked a flight straight to Cebu. Amazing video. (New subscriber here from Europe).
Yea, I think there wasn’t much in BGC just 10 years ago. It’s really exploded. It’s a city but everything is walking distance and has the small town feel of friendliness and always bumping into friends and going to lunch, coffee, or drink. It’s a really unique city. I’m not sure when the American cemetery was built. I believe there’s no one buried there. It’s more of a memorial.
Governmnt property bininta ng isang president,, search na lang po, paano nangyari at kanino na yang BGC
@@NicandPaddyVlog please visit the American cemetery
Kind words from a foreigner - thank you and enjoy the hospitality of the Filipinos =)
I’ve been here for over three years and have felt very welcomed.
Sir now there in philippines its look Like so different and now you, meet Many philippinos and as philippinos, Actually very friendly and hospitality And so responsible and very actually Welcoming, any tourists and there in Philippines they have many tourists Actraction places for many tourists Sir and can i ask sir how did you, like May home country sir and witch Phillippino food your favorite sir and Witch Places do you, like sir because i Can tell so many those of foreigners Like philippines pretty much and i Think sir its about the weather Because its warm sir
I've only been there once during the day and I've always imagine living with my family. This place is beautiful and lively at night. Thanks for showing us around. Sorry to hear your break-up mate
Cheers. Yea, BGC is pretty special. No worries about the break up. Things happen and we are still friends.

Let me follow your footsteps too since I plan to stay there in July 2022. I love love love that area! Thanks for the tour. More please.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed. More to come. Just uploaded the hiking trip we took last weekend from just outside Manila. Rizal area.
Will visit Philippines this year. Thanks for sharing this. Looks amazing!
Cheers. Will keep making videos of my favourite places to visit and things to do.
Thank you nice of you to show the place
I’ll make some more videos of my favourite places around here and do a bit more exploring
I stumbled in your channel and i ended loving it....thank u and now im your subscriber😀😁
Cool. Glad you enjoyed.
BGC has an underground tunnel that serves as a catch basin for the flood. It is said to be so big that it can contain a water level of 50 olympic size pool (correct me if I'm wrong). The underground cabling was also already there even before the development by the private sector; that's why it wasn't hard for the developer to put all ugly cables underground, unlike any other newly-built business districts in the country.
Yep. Also heard the same thing. I heard, big enough to park 50 buses, but I guess they meant swimming pools as it makes more sense. Cheers.
Wait till you see the one in Japan. Search for the name Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel. It's way way more impressive how it catches all the flooding in the greater Tokyo region. Been there once underground and it's collosal. Feels like a Dystopian world.
@@spiderliliez ofcourse it’s Japan and its for flood control system of the entire Tokyo so it has to be gargantuan.
Nice of you to show BGC, BUrgos Circle whare I was during the Pandemic years. Back here now in New YOrk city. Cant wait to go back there anyway.
Great place to drink coffee and people watch.
Stay safe. BGC is a city within a city with modern, clean and highly urbanized place in the PH. 💙👍🙂
Yea. It is a bit of a bubble. But I do love the bubble.
Thanks for showing us around… this place is huge & modern….I subscribe.. watching from Chicago
Thanks. I will show many more areas around the Philippines and my home areas of Manila
Greetings from the US and a first-time subscriber! Thanks for sharing this video. I've never been or seen BGC this close. My sister has a condo in Makati and has always stayed there during our visits twice in my entire life. I was born in the Philippines but grew up in California and have lived here since I was eleven years old! My husband is already retired, and I'm also retiring, so we're planning a trip there and hopefully soon and will check out that area and perhaps invest in a condo there! Btw, I believe my beautiful birth country is not a “Third World” country anymore but a “Developing country,” and perhaps someday soon it'll be up there with the second world and so on❗Thanks - take care, stay safe, and may God bless us all❣️🙏
Hi. I live in Makati. My gf lives in BGC and I spend a lot of time in both. Both cities are different and have their charms. BGC feels like a different world and is only 10 mins away and it feels like I’m on holiday when I stay there. Yea, I know developing is now more PC than third world. But I added a ?, and I was being ironic by showing a hyper advanced modern, clean, safe city, to break down stereotypes of how some people in first world countries may view the Philippines
Thank you for sharing your experience ☺️
Cool. Glad you enjoyed 😊
Really missed that place and cant wait to get back when our pandemic settle down for a bit. Good Luck again
Yea, hopefully that’s the end of it now. It’s just masks are the only thing that’s not normal at the minute and they are a little annoying in the summer heat.
Beautiful and a High end develop place in the Philippines.
Cool. Glad you enjoyed. The place is even better at night
Beautiful view myfriend
High Street is a great place to visit. It's beautiful and so many restaurants and shops
Yea. I live in Makati which is only 10 minutes away. But it’s a different world and like a vacation when I hang out here.
Wow never thought BGC is like this beautiful.. because of lockdown, become my habit of watching youtube videos about places in Phils. dahil parang nasa pinas na din ako. Thanks for sharing what you see there. Thumbs up! New subs here.
Thanks so much. Will make more of BGC, all of metro Manila and other trips around the Philippines 🇵🇭
Very Nice Area, Good tour.
Cheers. It’s a pretty cool part of Manila. A lot happens there. That was just a chilled weekday afternoon
Wow, my favorite bakery “Bread Talk “! 👍❤️🇺🇸🇵🇭🇦🇺
Cool 😎
Hi Paddy! Glad of this video! There is money in the Philippines, only it is in the hands of the privileged few and they live in Makati, others in Alabang and perhaps the middle class in BGC! Compared to the whole metro manila area and even the whole Philippines, BGC is only a small portion, a show window of how the west live! Glad we have this, otherwise one could only see the real Metro Mla / Phil true to life picture! Later you might see it when you walk outside BGC and Makati! But one thing is sure, you will meet friendly Filipino people.
I’ve been in probably every district of Metro Manila. Just breaking down a few stereotypes that people from abroad might have. Only seen images of Typhoons and Nipa huts. Will make more varied videos in the future as well.
Manila & parts of it is much more safe compared to the U.S. We have drive by shooting which happens on our freeways. Every year there are mass shooting happenings in other States. Manila & parts of it is more tame than we have here in the States.
Yea, even in the less clean, little bit crazier areas of Poblacion, I feel pretty safe in. There are more dangerous parts of Manila, but there’s no real reason for me to go there.
True, I'm scared to walk or drive on the freeway, anywhere else, too many crimes, shootings, robbery, kidnapping here in L.A. It's not safe anymore.
A filipina watching from hongkong here,.thank u for touring us around BGC,it's funny to say that i haven't been there,even though im from Philippines (cordillera region of Luzon),.been to manila,but not to those specific places,,
Hi Gerlie, glad you enjoyed. Will continue to make videos of cool places and fun things to see and do around Manila. Some of my earlier videos I show places like Intramuros and Fort Santiago and others.
Good Luck to your Blog of our big cities in Metro Manila.
Thanks. I will show more than just Makati and BGC. I show Intramuros and Pasay in earlier videos I made.
I miss the warm, balmy weather of the Philippines where sunshine is all year round. I hate the dark and cold place where I am now. Just hate wearing layers of clothes. Saw on CZcams BGC in Christmas time so amazing with Christmas lights all over and those beautiful lighted huge Christmas trees.
Where are you now? I grew up in Ireland which has about 11 months of winter, so I really appreciate the weather here
ANYWAY WELCOME TO MY BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY PHILIPPINES WITH TOO MUCH BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE AND KIND HEARTED FILIPINO PEOPLE...
Yep. Great place that I now call home
Thanks for your video..welcome to the Philippine. Stay safe. God bless.
Thanks. I’ve been here for over 3 years now. It’s a really amazing country.
I really enjoyed the video. I'm a Filipino and have never been to BGC. Hopefully, in the future, I can also walk and vlog not just in BGC, but in other cities around the world as well. New subscriber here.
Cool, thanks, glad you enjoyed
Nothing like the Taguig In the early 90's Indeed! Great tour around this BGC! I need to visit my Home soon!
Yea. A friend of mine grew up in a house in BGC area in the 80s and 90s. She’s said it was just green fields.
@@NicandPaddyVlog And synonymous to "rehab" for addicted people!
I didn’t know that bit.
@@NicandPaddyVlog Oh! And by the way too you look kinda like Anthony Bourdain was popular there!
It's my first time to watch your vlog and I just subscribed. Thanks for showing the world the beauty of the country. This is just one part of it, there are other parts of the country which are inhabited by majority of the population who are not able to experience the affluence this part of the country provides.
Thanks. I do plan to show many areas of Manila. The fun local parts with sari sari stores etc. but I just wanted to start by breaking down a few stereotypes that there are parts of the Philippines that are more impressive than cities like Singapore.
thank you for promoting our country.
Philippines is my favourite country in the world. I’m always telling my foreign friends to move and visit here. So instead of doing it on WhatsApp. I’m now doing it on CZcams 😄
Pls do a walk tour of the ff too: Capitol Commons, Venice McKinley Hill, Festival Mall Alabang, Vermosa Cavite, Intramuros cafes and restaurants, Eastwood and Circulo Verde, Vertis North, Subic Bay Freeport Zone, Clark New City, Baguio
Thanks for the recommendations. I have taken note and will add to the list. In one of my early videos my gf and I showed around Intramuros and fort Santiago. And also a hidden palace/mani soon in Pasay.
@@NicandPaddyVlog many have blogged Intramuros already but no one has yet to do a tour of the cafes behind the gates and the hole-in-the-wall restaurants, there are even pocket gardens inside the buildings that are used for wedding receptions. That's something CZcams people have not seen yet about Intramuros. I just hope those establishments are back or have re-opened as they surely were hit the hardest during the 2 years community quarantines.
Capitol Commons is kinda small for me, I've worked there in Estancia. Filinvest City is interesting though
I would also include the area in and around the University of the Philippines Diliman where QC circle is, Maginhawa street, UP Town center. Katipunan and campuses of Ateneo de Manila
Thank you for loving and appreciate the beauty of Filipinos Country. I am a Filipino living in Manila. Next destination explore an island 🏝 el nido palawan or coron palawan❣️
Thanks. The first videos I made for this channel was a trip to Bohol. I’ve been to Boracay and Palawan and others are high on my list😊
New subs here, I really enjoy your content. Keep it up mate.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed. Will keep on making videos of the amazing Philippines 🇵🇭
BGC is very good place to live in
Yep. It really is very luxurious, good fun, and very easy to meet people and make friends.
I lived there but I never been around the entire nice places to dine and meet the local neighborhood in the City !
Cool. I’m going to do a lot more exploring
Thank you for visiting my country sir
Thanks Rachael. I have been living here for over 3 years and loving it.
Thank you brother
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed
Proud from Philippines.keep.vlogging
Thanks. I was in green belt yesterday. Will edit and upload today.
Nice, Uptown BGC next please...
It’s on the list. I love the fire display on the fountain there.
I love it. ❤❤❤
Thanks. Looks even better at night.
Amazing Manila

Yep. Manila is pretty spectacular and in 3 years, I still have a lot more to explore
Nice video 😊
Cheers. Glad you enjoyed
Hello I’m new here 😊, I just watched your video this morning . I never been to BGC 🤔actually there’s no BGC before . Watching you from 🇦🇺🇵🇭
Pls Visit, City Of Good Life Oroquieta City, Province of Misamis Occidental, Its More Fun in Philippines
Yea. BGC is pretty shiny and new. They did a great job designing and building it. I like to eat and drink outside. Mediterranean al fresco style, and BGC has plenty of options for that.
Very nice tour, love your voiceover! Welcome to my neighborhood!
Cheers. It’s a great neighbourhood
@@NicandPaddyVlog I hope you will do more walking tours like this, it comes out way more natural than mine because of your voiceover.
Thanks. I’ll check out your videos. I made an High st video last night. Will upload later. It looks very different at night. Lots of cafes, restaurants and bars are busy again and there’s a million dogs out and about 🙂
@@NicandPaddyVlog I'll be looking forward to watching your video. I also made a night time tour a couple of months ago, showing lots of places between Serendra and Forbes Town
Pls Visit, City Of Good Life Oroquieta City, Province of Misamis Occidental, Its More Fun in Philippines
It was called Fort Bonifacio for decades (Andres Bonifacio is a important Hero of the Phil. as well as Padre Burgos road name), there is a Veterans Cemetery nearby, the area is pretty much empty for a long time just another district of Taguig for those who didn't know 😎👍✌.
Thanks. I always appreciate informative comments. I’ve been here 3 years but there’s a hell of a lot I don’t know. Cheers 😊
Welcome to the philippines bro n enjoy
Thanks. Have been here for 3 years and have been very much welcomed by everyone. Thanks 😊
Nice video .salamat..
Glad you enjoyed. More to come 😊
This is a lovely vlog, new subscriber here.
Thanks. Glad you enjoy 😊
Hello ,Keep safe ,always.
Thanks. Life is close to normal again.
Try to visit Venice Grand Canal Mall in Mckinley Hills Taguig nearby area, explore the European style building, Stay Safe!
Yea, I love that place. It’s on the list of places to film. I would say it’s the most spectacular and surreal mall I’ve ever been in. Will see if a local friend is available to make it with me. I want to start adding guest appearances of Filipino friends and adding their IG
Pls Visit, City Of Good Life Oroquieta City, Province of Misamis Occidental, Its More Fun in Philippines

Thanks 😊
Welcome back mate..been awhile
Cheers. Had the break up recently and partying a bit. Too difficult to edit videos with a hangover. And sometimes I film stuff but if there’s no real structure to it, (normally when I’m a bit tipsy) I won’t use it. Will knock out a few videos this week though.
Pls Visit, City Of Good Life Oroquieta City, Province of Misamis Occidental, Its More Fun in Philippines
Welcome
Cheers. I’ve been here over three years now and have felt very welcomed.
I'll be exploring that exact place come May 14th
Cool. I’ll have a few more vids up by then of great places to explore.
Try visiting ILOILO CITY, too. ILOILO CITY IS both modern like Singapore and heritage like Spanish and French-European Food is superb here. Plenty of parks, Spanish plazas, open squares, and the riverside Esplanades are marvelous. Biking lanes are amazing. You may see a glimpse of ILOILO CITY in the forthcoming NETFLIX TV new mini-series A LOVE TO KILL The setting is in ILOILO CITY. Filming is now on-going March and April, 2022. Worldwide streaming to be announced soon.
Thanks. I just goggle imaged it. Looks amazing
Paddy, thanks for taking time to Google ILOILO.
Yes very nice. BGC) 💖💖💖👍
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed.
Thank to vlog happy to see NCR..even you say 3rd country , we changed hopefully the next decade
Thanks. I’m being ironic. Breaking down stereotypes. Then showing one of the most advanced cities in the world.
What up Paddy. thinking of going there on Saturday to finally visit Burgos Cir. Jess Loya
You’ll probably see me wandering high st or sitting in coffee bean. Say hello 😊
Welcome in BGC Sir. I'm living near by the place here in Taguig.
Thanks. It’s a great place
Indeed. That is my usual hangout place when I don't have any travel out of the city.
Is that really a city? Or is it really in the middle of the city??? Why there are so many plants or trees around??? So clean and we'll organize.. Very westernize
Metro Manila is made up of 17 cities / districts all merge together. They all have their differences and charms
Hi Paddy welcome to BGC Philippine..new subscriber…
Thanks. I tend to spend about half my time between Makati and BGC. Two very different places and only 10 mins from each other. There’s a lot to love about both cities.
I always support your channel and I hope you always there ..❤️
Welcome🙏
Thank you. I’ve lived here for over 3 years. Philippines is a very welcoming country. 😊
I love BGC. Philippines is the place to be.
👉Don't missed to witness during sunset in " RIZAL PARK " in Manila near Manila Bay which is also called the Philippines National Park, you can see there the Amazing Sunset ang Extra ordery Lighings in the Rizal Park that you might never seen in your entire travel in the world.
👉 Also, the nearby FORT SANTIAGO (historical place) in Intramuros-Manila City which is also called THE WALLED CITY within Manila City.
I agree. I made a video on Intramuros and Fort Santiago about 6 months ago.
Hi Paddy, what was the name of that Condo block you pointed out with "koy ponds" etc.. The one on the corner.. Im coming there soon and that looks an ideal location.. thanks mate, I enjoy your vlogs. cheers
One Serendra. I’m so impressed with the place, I’ll make a video of it. My girlfriend lives there and she owns her own real estate company if you want her contact details ?
Hey Paddy! Thanks for this video and for appreciating our country. We Filipinos are hospitable and welcoming to all kinds of people.
May I just give you a bit of a feedback, the term "third world country" is an outdated term that is now considered offensive by some societies not only in the Philippines. The socio-politically correct term is, "developing country."
Thanks Janet. I was being ironic with - Third World? I know it’s not so PC to use it now. Many people who have never been to the Philippines probably have their own stereotypical image of it and would still use that term. Hence why I showed a very modern, advanced, clean and safe city.
Thanks for the clarification. Sorry for not catching the "?" at the end of your statement. Keep making this kind of videos, will look out for more on your channel. God bless!😊
Yes I get your title. Not many people know that the Philippines is classified under newly industrialized and middle income. No longer a low income country
try to visit ANGONO, Rizal province near Manila for ARTS and Cultural experience
I miss the Philippines.
Yep, it’s a cool place. I’ve travelled to a lot of countries and Philippines is my favourite.
the modern term used by world bank based on countries income and level of progress , is income level.
ph is nearing to be called as an UPPER MIDDLE INCOME COUNTRY...hence its affluent enough as compared to most developing countries..
Hi Enrico. I added a ? In the thumbnail and showed a highly modern and advanced city right in the middle of Manila. I was being ironic 😊
Hello there . I'm new here . Enjoy your day 😘
Hi. Glad you enjoyed 😊 enjoy your day
@@NicandPaddyVlog I did ! Thanks 👍
Bgc is beautiful
Yep. I will make a video of Venice mall soon. It’s an unbelievable place.
Hi paddy been to the Philippines many times. 2004,2005, 2006, 2013, etc. Even thought about a 3 months vacation there. Tell us do you know if the online health pass will be scrapped later in the year? I know it's straightforward but it's a unnecessary piece of paper work.
No one knows. For the last two years, most announcements were made a day or two before the change.
👍👍👍
Thanks. I lived in Dublin 1998 - 2001. We were probably there at the same time 😊
BGC is Filipinos proud of modernism infrastructures and traffic discipline as well. If you step in this place while driving you must be careful of your speed as I experienced I thought no police man watching, but unfortunately a meter behind there is cameras everywhere for traffic light 😁😂 Since then I learned that Philippines government concentrate a modernized cities within our country🇵🇭 though, not yet finished as some cities continued buildings on going.
Yea. I believe there are plans to make more new smart cities in the Philippines
*BGC should not be our only pride soon, it should be the whole Philippines. They can do it in BGC? They can make it happen in the entirety of the Philippine Islands. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas.*
I dont think we can be called a third world country anymore. Thats before when asia faces 1990s financial crisis. People are always mistakenly brand philippines as a third world. Lets throw that old vibes. When you almost feel you live in europe and or any western country all brands all banking sectors offices everything you see in a rich country you can find it here. Whats more if we introduce our seemless subway system and railway system which is more expanded our modernize
Airport
Slowly but surely rising our state of the art toll roads and bridges on the entire archipelago will definitley enjoy your safe fast and comfortable travel. As you going to one of our great places to visit
Plus the warm and exceptional hospitality of the filipinos. You will definitley say yesss this will be my second home far away from home my retirement destination no hate just cheer and good memories. And not gonna burn your hard work money. Whenever country you came
From we welcome you in the philippines
Hi Mike. Did you watch the video. I put a ? In the thumbnail and was being ironic. It of course the Philippines is a rapid developing modern country.
@@NicandPaddyVlog im just saying no offense..well philippines is kind somewhat confusing. The growth is not purely distributed in the entire archipelago. Which is a must. So we can achieve a real economic growth. But since the pandemic hits and now the war in ukraine and in somepart of the world will also affect the slow growth of this island nation. But filipinos are optimistic and resilient . We are hardly hit by big typhoons and earthquakes. But slowly we rebuild and stand up again whatever it takes. At the same time we dont forget to help our neighboring countries and commitments to the word . No
Matter how we can provide and offer we their to help.
Hello new subscribber here more Power to your channel 😊💓💪
Thanks Markie. There’s a lot of very cool places around the Philippines and I will continue to make more. Cheers.

Burgos Circle is my weekend hangout for coffee and food. May I ask what camera are you using here? is there an external microphone connected to it?
Hi. For this I used a dji osmo 4 gimble for smoothness and an iPhone. I did a lot of research into cameras and got/ also have a Sony ZV 1

Just enjoying it. Everyone loved that video. We appreciate the same things
MABUHAY! You’re already staying in Makati City, then Go to GREENBELT AYALA Malls & ROCKWELL! I’m a Makati Boy for 44 Years! Explore & Enjoy Ayala Malls!
I had lunch in Rockwell yesterday. Will make a video of Rockwell. I was looking up the history of the place and discovered why it’s called power plant mall. Green belt is amazing and I’ll make a video of it as well.
I actually like it when pinas is called third world. It simply means, let's keep the good life for us filipinos😁
Irish and Filipinos are very similar. Hopefully I can blend in and enjoy it too 😉😄
@@NicandPaddyVlog surely, you will😊
@@genevievedioneda3258 I feel the same. There's too many of us already, so it's crowded lol.
Visit bohol many tourists stay living there
Yea, Bohols a great place. The first 5 videos I made for this channel are of Bohol
So useful to get the first impression! Before my trip, I am trying to find out what the situation is like with crime/safety and diseases like malaria and dengue in the Philippines. Do you protect yourself against mosquitos anywhere in the Philippines?
Malaria doesn’t seem to be a thing here. I got Dengue here, it’s not common, but can happen. Not going to kill you. Mosquitoes 🦟 aren’t much of an issue here.
It is both an issue and not, depends on where and also on the season. I’ve been bitten a thousand times but never had dengue nor malaria BUT that doesn’t mean it will apply to all esp if u r not used to mosquito bites. There are parts of the city where it won’t be common but in some parts it is esp if they have no running water and tend to store them in containers. Just always get something called Off lotion. You can get ‘‘em in supermarkets, convenience stores, pharmacies and even in sari-sari stores esp in touristy areas.
I’m Filipino living in Metro Manila, specifically BGC. I always go malling and strolling around all malls & parks in Metro Manila w/ my hubby and we never had malaria nor dengue nor any mosquito-related problems, and we’re now on our late fortys and have never used Off Lotion or any mosquito repellant 😊
You mention BGC being a safe city but is Makati safe too? I read that there can various untoward incidents there. Have you come across anything since your stay there?
There’s higher risk of petty street stuff such as pick pockets in the party areas of Makati. But a bit of common sense will help avoid. Tourists arriving and being a little disoriented and jet lagged will be the targets. I will make a video on what to look out for. Professional beggars etc.
BGC used to be part of Fort Bonifacio an army headquarter.
Thanks.
Alveo land is the owner is the owner also of ayala malls here entire country.
Yea. I live beside A venue. It’s being completely redeveloped by Ayala at the moment.
When used in its modern context, Third World is considered to be a derogatory term that degrades countries which are developing and/or poor.
This combination of confusion and possible insult has made Third World a largely obsolete term.
Instead, most modern speakers and writers favor more accurate, inoffensive terms such as "developing countries" and "least developed countries" (calculated by the United Nations) or "low-income countries" (based upon World Bank data).
I’m being ironic. Hence the ? in the thumbnail. I’m breaking down stereotypes of how people that have never been here and probably use the term, by filming one of the most modern, cleanest, advanced, and safest cities in the world while asking third world?
Not just referring to the thumbnail but to what was said in the video itself “Welcome to the Philippines, thirld world country” although right after you said “Can’t believe its a third world…”
Besides, the argument whether the Philippines is considered as a Third World country or not is beyond the point. I am merely stating that in today’s time, there is a more acceptable/less derogatory term that can be used.
Again- being ironic. If I was trying to push that point, I would be filming some slum or very poor area.
@@NicandPaddyVlog Missing the point again.
As you can see, BGC has no Electric Cables outside.
All cables underneath ✌️😁
Very tidy.
Hello 👋 I'm from Philippines
Hi Juanito. I’ve lived here for 3 years. Really amazing country.

Hi. Cheers. Yep, I filmed a night tour yesterday evening and at night. Have shots from about 5-7pm with millions of dogs out and the parks filled and a bulk of the night tour is filmed at 9pm on a Sunday. I walk down on the other side showing more of the night life on High st. Just finished editing it and will upload when I get to a place with faster internet/upload speeds
