Our FIRST TIME in the PHILIPPINES (Manila)

- Mabuhay from Manila! In this video of Living the Jo Life, we visit the incredible capital of the Philippines, Manila, before embarking on a 3-week trip around the country. We start off our adventure by exploring the historic walled city of Intramuros. Stepping through those gates felt like stepping back in time, with its cobbled streets and grand old buildings. Next, we braved the bustling markets around Divisoria Mall. Wow, it was a sensory overload! From fresh produce to quirky souvenirs, clothes and shoes, there was something for everyone. Wanting to experience local transportation, we hopped on a jeepney, a brightly decorated minibus that's a Manila icon. If catching a tuk-tuk instead, remember to negotiate the fare clearly beforehand - we almost fell victim to a scam! But hey, that didn't stop us from belting out Bon Jovi songs on the backseat of a tuk-tuk. It turns out, Filipinos love a good power ballad too! After the jeepney ride, we ended up singing karaoke classics with the friendliest locals you'll ever meet. Filipinos truly have the warmest smiles and most welcoming spirit - we felt like part of the family in no time! We ended our night at the legendary Tutuban Night Market, which was another busy but amazing place for experiencing local life and the happy and welcoming spirit of the Filipinos. We also visited BGC, which has a completely different feel to the rest of Manila, with massive shopping malls, skyscrapers and upmarket boutiques and restaurants. Manila, was a whirlwind of sights, sounds, and incredible people. We can't wait to share more of our adventures around this magnificent island nation with you!

Good mom who stood up to that scammer..your mom reacted super fast and told that scammer that he would not get any money or tip. It was strongly done!💪👏 amazing family 🙏🏻
Yes so proud of my mum! The way she got out of the tuk tuk 😂 She knew what he was up to. My dad was so confused lol. Happy it all turned out ok - it didn't give us a good feeling. Thanks so much for watching 🙏🏼
Good on you mom.be alert with those Scamers.
I hope the Manila City Hall officials see this video esp Mayor Lacuna.
Clear Intramuros of those scammer please! You have already identified that scammer, you have to act fast. Those people tarnish the image of Manila, shame on him.
Those tuk-tuk's or whatever those things are called are giving the country a bad crap
12:57 the black shirt lady with the green bag behind you is kinda sus. I think she's trying to do something 🤭
she’s pretty. girl in dark green. definitely will stand out in the streets.
Enjoy Manila! One of my favourite places 😁 🇵🇭
Thank you! We had so much fun 😄
Nice Marco where are you now, why not uploading anymore Philippine vlogs...
@@dondennis1814 because I had a bad accident and I can’t walk 😭 I am back in sydney but new Philippines video in a few days
Oh sorry to hear that Marco, anyway Get well soon..@@marcoroams
@@livingthejolifegood job sister you're a brave beautiful lady.correct you pay the driver.i am pure filipino.
That's one of the things that gives the country a bad name. Those shady hustlers.
They even hustle us Filipinos. I know they're just trying to survive.
But it doesn't mean they need to cheat. So stay vigilant everyone!
Yes totally agree! It was a bit disappointing. It didn't ruin our experience though or our first impressions 😊
In a crowded places it’s better to carry your bag in front of you.
Scammers are everywhere in all touristy cities around the world.
Precisely, to think that those tuk-tuk's doesn't even have a frachise to operate and take passengers unlike the legit tricycle and jeepneys. The city government ought to ban them from operating. Those things proliferated during the covid-19 lockdown period when public transport was scarce, now that everything is back to normal they ought to be ban. It's always a cliche for them to say that it's their means of living and yet they con both locals and even foreign tourist which gives the Philippines a bad crap.
WE ALWAYS VOTE FOR THIEVES, NO INTENTION ON BETTERING THE PEOPLE JUST TAKING TURNS TO STEAL AND STEAL
Welcome to the philippines enjoy your stay in our country visit as many tourist spots as you can guys
Thank you so much! We can wait to explore more of the country 😊
Welcome to the Philippines! April and may are our hottest months but right now we're slowly transitioning into rainy season. I'm very sorry you had almost been scammed because there are people who want to take advantage of the situation. Carry your bag in front of you and not at your back in very crowded places to discourage pickpocket. Btw your daughter looks like the female version of her Dad. Good luck guys I hope you have a blast!
Thank you for the advice 🙏🏼 Ha ha yes I know I look a lot like my dad 😃
I was recently in the Philippines too and was almost scammed as well. It's unfortunate that there are people like that everywhere, but it didn't deter me from appreciating the beauty of the country and the warmth of its people.
Those scammers usually live in squatters and have been in and out of jail. The lowest of the low.@@InvestedAdventure
Adventurous family . Maligayang pagdating sa Pilipinas ! God bless you guys.

Napakagaling talaga ng maraming mga Pilipino. Ipinaramdam ang pagiging palakaibigan at Filipino hospitality.
Kapag napanood ng mga taga bansa itong video na ito, malamang na subukan din nilang pumasyal sa ating Bansa.
Maraming salamat sa mga bumati sa mga dayuhan nating bisita. Nakakatulong kayo sa Bansa at sa ating mga kapwa Pilipino.
So talented! Amazing singers and musicians. I hope our video will inspire others to come and visit the Philippines. Very beautiful place
@@livingthejolife 🙏🙂
Kaso mga mapagsamantala mga driver sa manila lalo mga etrike, pedicab, tricycle at kalesa sa intramuros. nakakahiya yung lalaki nka green nagtawag lng ng Etrike gusto bayaran din siya ng 250 tpos yung driver hindi rin umiimik .
Napakagaling mang scam kamo. Kaya walang chance umunlad bansa natin.
Kakahiya talagaginawa ng mga Tarantado

Careful with the scammers. They are very common in tuktok, tricycles and taxis. Do not yield to their demands. Know the price before you board. Most often better to take Grab or Uber. Enjoy and have wonderful explorations to a country of warm, hospitable and jolly people
Thank you so much for watching 🙏🏼 Unfortunately, it was really hard to get taxis. They didn't what to take us to where our hotel was located. Despite this experience we found the locals very friendly and kind.
