    I was a hard party guy when in my 20's and thirties in the 90's . I managed to see some great cities in Europe, the Middle East, China , Singapore and Africa. I have never got the chance to experience yhe southeast Asia countries that relly hurts me. Now if god permits me to visit one day it will not be the same as in the nineties when I was in my peak party prime years.

    I've been back and forth of where I want to live in the Philippines. This video may have just confirmed it for me. These little bars look so fun and relaxed. Combined with the modern lifestyle of BGC.
    Just sucks there aren't many beaches or anything unless you travel a couple hours away. (At least according to my research)

      Yep, compared to the rest of the Philippines, parts of Manila can feel like you're not in the same country, especially if you're more used to the rural parts of the Philippines. But, same goes to other countries tbh, but def a bigger contrast in developing countries like the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, etc.

  • @arembotate4100
    @arembotate4100 Před 11 měsíci +13

    Makati is more diverse and edgier so there is more excitement and adventure. Before BGC, Manila nightlife has always been like that with places like Jupiter St (Makati), Pasay Road, Greenhills and Malate. Malate is similar to Poblacion in the 90s till the decade of the 2000s and eventually, the rise of BGC. Through the decades, Makati has always been part of Manila nightlife, reinvented itself and stayed relevant.

      Malate had a gay side of the nightlife but that was only half of Malate nightlife. There were many other options especially along Adriatico and Remedios till Roxas Blvd. Many people went to Malate during those days. There were several gay friendly establishments but overall, Malate had more mainstream bars and concept restaurants similar to what we see now in Poblacion.

    Oh those bars: God forbid when there's FIRE in any of those bars you featured , there's no way people would be able to escape. There will be a high rate of casualty. I wonder if Mskati authorities have bothered to check those places for Fire Exit? Here in Murcia Spain, a big fire recently (last week) killed nearly 20 young people. Perhaps this video could be shared to Makati local authorities before anything bad happens. All those bars are a huge fire risk.
