HAPPYLAND - Inside Manila's Most Dangerous Hood 🇵🇭
Vložit
- čas přidán 17. 06. 2024
- Welcome to what is called the most dangerous and densely populated neighbourhood in Manila, Tondo. Also known to be one of the happiest places in the Philippines, going by the nickname 'Happyland'. We went to investigate this neighbourhood, meet it's kind residents, and try some of the local street food at Ugbo night market. Filipino people are some of the kindest people on earth and the residents of Tondo are a great representation of the countries kindness. One of the reasons the Philippines is one of my favourite countries!
Enjoy our day in Tondo!

You missed the way the lychee seller tapped the cash over is tables. That meant you were his first customer of the day and its a ritual to help him bring more sales.
I discovered your blogs recently and I love it! Now I’m hooked and there’s no dull moment. One of the good thing about the Philippines is the people in all walks of life can communicate very well.
It’s the soul of our nation. It’s a melting pot of the socio-eco system of the nation. We salute your effort to promote out culture. Chef M.,
Love this content. Seeing people travel and visit Tondo is so cool, born and raised! I gotta go back next year!
You're a great couple...very friendly and entertaining. The locals will love you, enjoy your stay! ❤😊
Just be careful when you go to crowded areas here in the phils. Make sure your body bag, wallets, celfons are secured in front of your body because there are some bad elements among the crowd lurking to find would be victims of snatching or pick pocketing. But all in all, enjoy the beautiful, hospitable, kind people and beautiful places of our country, the Philippines.

Gambling in Filipino funeral is common practice but only for lower middle class income because gambling will help with the payment of funeral services. Love your vlog it's raw. You just earned a new subscriber.
Wonderful video , Peace and love to you bro
At the 20:18 mark you reference the toys the children are playing with. In Canada, during the late 60’s early 70’s, we had these “clackers” we played with, a fad that died out and has recently been resurrected here in the Philippines…Have enjoyed watching your adventures!
people of Philippines are so kind but be careful
Top tier vibes. Had a smile on my face the whole time
Thank you :)
👍🏽 More fun in the 🇵🇭✌🏽
Nice friendly filipino
Keep Safe always 👍🏽😎✌🏽
Please be gente sir with your things specially to your money be attentive all the time ☺️ Enjoy and travel with your heart!
Love from srilanka 🇱🇰
@Seal On Tour in the philippines when someone dies especially if they're from a poor family having a gambling session at the their wake is a big help for the bereaved family because they collect the money (we called tong in tagalog) earned from each gambling table and they used to pay for the funeral expenses , and i think its only in the [hilippines that have gambling sessions during a wake 😅 sometimes they also hve drinking sessions witj karaoke if the late is a drinker and loves to sing😄
Nice to both of you visit tondo my friend

Filipinos can be the friend that is willing to give his shirt off his back to help you BUT if you piss a Filipino off, they can be the most vicious and vindictive enemy that you will ever have in your life.

You've got all the magic for a travel vlogger with good humor 😊
Btw where's cody?
Humor on cost of others is good humor to you?
@@i-am-your-consciencewtf are you taking about? Got your panties in a bunch for no reason, try to pull them back down a bit and get comfortable…

I like how you guys are always down to drink and eat anything lmao!
Well done for being adventurous.

They clean the chicken poop out of those intestines of course! 😂 Awesome video, love this couple, they always seem to be popular whenever they go around the town and you guys seem to welcome the warmth of people welcoming you. Very friendly couple ❤ Unlike some vloggers who wouldn't even fist bump people and would hurry tf out 😂👍🏻❤
He did call it mystery meat tho, even though they know exactly what kind of meat their eating. Lol.
Great!
I love your adventurousness. try to take it easy on "magic sugar", I think thats aspartame.

That's my mum right there on a greenshirt ❤️ 5:27
My friend said that according to his parents, most of the original residents of Tondo when they earned their notoriety where relocated to Cavite in the 80s. And that's why right now most crimes we see on news are centered around the 80vac area and almost none in Tondo
The guy looks like Rez Cortez, the actor in the 70s 80’s
This guy is amazing. Ja, Ja, ja when you eat the ice cream you really look like a dragon.
6:26 "but i think it wasnt a bro" 💀 ur funny bro ur right 🤣 subbed! 👊

12:08 Man this cracked me up ahahahahha
Welcome sa philippines
That's a very dangerous place during 60s to early 2000s.

In the Philippines we call it trycicle

In India they are Ricksaw
You two sweats alot haha its what we do here good you already adapting.
That Kids Toy We called it Here in the PH " Lato - Lato" its Very Famous Toy Here
hey guys, love the video, it is customary that filipinos have some kind of entertainment to stay awake during the wake that lasts from 3 to 5 days.. anything to keep everyone awake, superstition says that if you fall asleep, demons will steal the dead body of thier loved ones.
Wow I’ve never heard this! That is interesting!
Everyone is like a friend 😂
You feel like everyone knows you before
The Happy land of now used to be a killer land. Not even cops able to enter in narrow streets during the night. Tons of gangsters and shootouts. Now, its a symbol of mixture of poverty and hyped energetic neighborhoods. Still be very careful walking in the streets everywhere in Tondo. Especially during the night because there are still hot spots in there.
Ain’t nobody vlogging at night in tondo back streets.. that’s crazy.
5:38 He said you are "pogi" it means "handsome"
Those toys are called Clackers I played with them when I was a kid in the 70’s in Texas.
fun fact:
1. funeral here in PH is actually a reunion.
2.gambling is legal
3. band or karaoke on the last day of mourn
so much more
It's clean...d poop is already removed😊
Philippine people are so nice.
I lived in tondo for 4 and 1/2 months. I felt safer there than most places I've been in the US. In my experience, the people were wonderful and friendly. Maybe because I was a foreigner but who knows.
All of Asia is safer than US, and I’m from US. You can go to the worst parts but it’s Asians bro. They are so friendly even if they got some bad ones it’s less than anywhere in US.
Prolly the main reason. Ive known someone who died just because he refuse to take a drink with one of the locals in the area esp near north harbor, and got stabbed with a knife.
Although there are certain areas that are safe, there are also some areas that is worst than bad. Locals are friendlier than foreigners than the co-locals esp if you are not originally from tondo (Harbor side)
That's PagPag chicken you had, brave man!😂🤣
Sometimes when you see a gambling to a funeral the family allowed it because of the profit that the players gave to them when they won the game. Because sometimes they can't afford the funeral service and they used to get money from everyones potluck and when the payment is enough that's it they buried the body with the casket and thats show the Filipino hospitality culture and caring for someone. even though they are not family relatives
@18:04 its actually clean. They clean it before selling it
Hospitalty phillipines 💯🇵🇭✌👊👍🙏👦👧
hey im growing on ur vids, im from TO n heading home on 14th but the juice is GU LA mon
The name of the toys is lato-lato its papular in the Philippines especially to the kids
❤❤❤🇵🇭🔔◀️
That was more than likely not butter. I believe that was margarine. Filipinos often mistake margarine for butter. If that was butter, it would've melted right away in the open air heat here in the Philippines. Butter is also too expensive for a mobile cheese corn food stall and that cup of corn would've costed twice the price. Also, that guy @8:15 said "melon and magic sugar". He probably said it in jest as magic sugar is dangerous, illegal, and is banned in the Philippines(he and his mate laughed while saying it so he probably said it as a joke so you're probably good lol).
You're right... Those gamblng in the street are actually in a. FUNERAL WAKE.
Gambling is allowed in this 😅instance as the bereaved family receives a % od the winnings which is use to pay for the funeral expense.
In a way, it's their way to help in terms of finances.
Guyabano is very healthy fruit!even the leaves is good medicine...boiled it and drink
