You are so sweet and kind to speak such nice things about the Philippines and the Filipino people. I appreciate how you tell your fellow Thais to be compassionate and supportive towards the Philippines and Filipino people rather than be critical and judgemental. That is very worldly and civilized of you. It's so nice that you sympathize with us Filipinos. Thank you so much! You are always welcome here in the Philippines! We welcome you wholeheartedly with open arms.
Im mix singaporean filipino, and all my malay friends always says philippines is poor, not knowing philippines cities better than malaysia,,, Love this thai vloger, ❤thailand and philippines ❤❤❤
Lol you are from Singapore, and why suddenly you condemning Malaysia, should be your friend are Singapore malay. Plus, malay and filipino are on the same grass root. Austronesian. Spark an issue between Malaysia and philiphine so sudden. Useless one.
@@aimanazraai5429bruh have problem of reading comprehension lol.....he didnt even said anything bad to malaysia and why your so deffensive what hid said lol
@@vivalavida9980 As an English speaker from the US, I had no problem understanding Filipinos when they're speaking English, especially in the big cities. But Thai people too are pretty good in English, but Philippines have better English because of the Americans.
@@oodo2908 Blooms should try to be nice to other asian countries and avoid initiating fights. Toxic blooms calling thai girl group PIXXIE, "trash" doesn't really help to gain supporters from our neighboring countries.
I like how this dude does his travel vlog. It's so authentic and sincere if i had to describe it. You do not need to be so overly positive like any typical vloggers nowadays. I like how he is honest and really understand the situation of different countries. Really a very asian perspective.
Welcome back to your second home nong Sunny! Whoever wants to be welcomed in the PH, we embrace them as our own family member. Watching over from Saudi Arabia. ❤️🇵🇭
It is right next to Makati. There are other areas similar to BGC like Eastwood and Ortigas. BGC is just bigger. These are business districts so they look good and safe because they are well planned and developed. Most cities in the Philippines are safe especially outside metro manila. They just show the bad side because it gets more views.
You're correct, i don't know why those westerners would almost always show the bars and pubs, why can't they show the other area in the cities. When i see a vlog about thailand, it is either about street food or bars.
Im half Thai whos been living in the Philippines for almost 10 yrs. There are other cities like this in other parts of the Philippines. Im not even sure why people like to go to BGC so much. Its an expensive city. I studied in Iloilo in the Visayas region. Its not as "beautiful" as BGC but its well developed and very clean too. And its not as expensive.
ILOILO gets ASEAN Clean Tourist City Award. All countries had their developed and undeveloped area but first thing first is your safety while while travelling alone. Keep safe @backpaeger. God bless you on your journey.
My father's roots is from Ilo-ilo and mother's side from Kalibo, Aklan. Ilo-ilo is rustic but modern enough. Love this kind of vibe. Even though I'm in the center of Manila, I'm not really vibing with bgc. Been there when it was just newly opened. Not much to see except that market! Market! Something like Ilo-ilo is more my style. I will go back to both places after a couple of years. I want to reconnect with my parents' roots.
Hey Sunny! It's great to have you back in the Philippines! If you're thinking about staying longer, I suggest checking out some of the lesser-known spots that Thai tourists don't usually visit. Just remember, the rainy season is kicking in, so the weather might be a bit unpredictable and could impact your plans. And when you go beyond Metro Manila, there's a whole world of delicious regional dishes waiting for you to try, aside from the usual Tagalog food. Whatever you choose to do, I'll be here to back you up throughout your time in the Philippines and wherever your adventures lead you. Stay safe and have a blast exploring!
I miss you Sunny I cant remember the last time you visited but it was right after the pandemic. Thanks you showing BGC to your countrymen. I am proud of the massive developments that changing the landscape of the capital city. I have visited Bangkok last year and it has the same vibe with Manila. It is more developed and has a lot of cool places. Metro Manila now is catching up and is really improving and is becoming a trendy capital city. More Power to you Sunny. Love your channel and always stay humble and positive❤❤❤
I like this one. Despite the negative areas, you find the good ones. Unlike the other Thai vlogger I saw here that only gains views from the Philippines but only criticizes the country all throughout his vlog pointing out the negative parts as if they're perfect.
@@rombagaporo4837 forgot. I stopped watching before I finish it. First part was finding his accommodation. He walked from the airport and find his accommodation in the middle of a slum-like area. People helped him find it but he thought he was conned by people when he paid a private owned motorcycle who helped him. Also, he found a cheap accommodation but complained about it. Hahaha what a joke
Thank you for sharing your genuine impressions of the Philippines. I’ve watched your initial series of videos about the country, and although I’m a Filipino residing in Thailand, I’ve never visited those areas myself. It’s refreshing to see a vlogger who presents an unfiltered perspective of their experiences. Moreover, I admire your bravery in venturing into parts of the Philippines that are less known, even to locals.
I thought only Filipinos are aware that asean countries are always being look down by east Asians. So this comment prove that maybe all ASEAN people are also aware of being discriminated
@@univerxcity Thailand is very welcoming to China and Japan. We have a problem with only one country, South Korea, whose citizens are openly rude and like to insult others.
Welcome back to the Philippines! There is also a feeling of mine that Thailand is my second home even if I only visited it twice. Our countries have so many similarities. 🇵🇭🇹🇭
Philippines and Vietnam always surprise me with their recent development knowing the two country experience rapid corruption and war in the past, but still manage to rapidly became newly industrialized countries❤
Hello there! I am a Filipino who is based here in Manila. I must say that I appreciate your vlog about our country (particularly the capital region). On the other hand, I have visited Bangkok as well, and I like it! By the way, I see some comments here which tend to criticize the way you describe things including the food. I would like to think that the comment is partly inaccurate due to automatic translation. Going back, I agree that Thailand is a bit ahead of the Philippines - in terms of economy and vibrancy of Asian culture. But again, I admire your appreciation and candid approach on your vlog. Keep up the good work! Hope to see you again here in my country, as you treat this as your second home.
Ohh I hope sooo ,because as you know our current leader is a big corruption 😂😂 if he continues for a long time all I cam see is the down fall of our country 😉 😏
19:00 uhh no LOL Makati and BGC are not the only developed areas in the Philippines. There are dozens more of business districts that are just as developed as those two, namely: Filinvest-Alabang, Ortigas, Aseana city, Eastwood city, Entertainment city, MOA complex, Arca south, Greenfield, Vertis North, Greenfield, and many more. Outside Metro Manila, there also many developing and developed CBDs like Cebu business/IT park, Iloilo CBD, Davao DGT, New Clark City, Maplegrove, southwood city, Nuvali, and LIMA CBD.
Filinvest alabang . Makati center nuvali, bay city , ortigas center , new clark city , araneta city , c5 corridor mckinley hill/west eastwood. They are plenty of good neighborhoods in the ph. And bgc is expanding there is also arca south. @Stwcrafter
Hi, I'm a Filipino. Welcome to the Philippines! You can also visit Ayala center, Ayala street in Makati if you like to see where the rich live. It is where the Makati stock exchange, Ayala Center, cafes, museums, and malls are located. The Philippines is not your typical Asian country because it's a mixture of many cultures, most notably Spanish/Hispanic cultures (because of the 333 years of Spanish rule) and also because of the heavy American influence. I love the salsa (Latin) music at the end. ¡Dios te bendiga!
so glad to see you back again, p'sunny. I really enjoy watching your travel videos as it helps me learn thai faster and learn more about geography🙏 เราจะหวังว่าไปเที่ยวประเทศไทยเร็วๆนะ
Don't worry tho, much of Metro Manila is not like this. There is still a considerable difference in development in different areas of Metro Manila. But it's good to see beautification of the country's capital is ongoing including infrastructure developments.
I love your perspective. Its both positive and constructive.You acknowledge that yes there are still impoverished areas in the country but instead of criticizing, you encourage people to support the developments that are happening in the Philippines. Unlike other foreign vloggers who just want to try pinoy foods, you actually gave us depth through your opinion. I like your honesty. Its refreshing. Maraming Salamat!
To confirm their false "stereotypes", while in actuality, the country has already been progressing rapidly. The country is now strengthening is soft and cultural power to deflect these stereotypes, that's why you see more Filipino shows nowadays, as well as its own music influence, like P-Pop and etc.
I absolutely HATE that 95% of videos in the Philippines are slums. Almost no parts of the Philippines are slums. It's mostly small cities and villages. Majority of slums are only in Manila. Manila is the only place that can be very dirty. But there is the middle class area which is good. And the upper class area is better than Western cities.
I love the way you blend with the locals, enjoy their foods and accept their culture. One of the best vlogger I have watched so far. Stay safe my friend! Mabuhay!
I suggest you should also try to visit different modern cities around Metro Manila. BGC is not the only city that is developed and modern. There's a ton of cities that are modern around Metro Manila and around the Philippines.
economic problems? Last time I checked, the Philippines is the fastest growing economy in the entire asia-pacific region. Its crime rate is just close to that of Thailand.
Filipino🇵🇭 here living in the UK🇬🇧 Thanks for the tour! I watched your youtube video when you first visited the Philippines I think that was when travel restrictions has been lifted, you ate Mang Inasal in Boracay 😂 The Security Guards in the Malls and shops is a norm in the Philippines, it's not just because there's high crime rate. People feel more safe when they're around.
Karamihan sa mga syudad sa pilipinas mga bagong gawa lang (except makati), itong bgc 10 taon lang ata bago nag boom mga gusali, ngayon naman ASEANA, Ortigas, New Clark City, clark free port zone, cebu, iloilo saka Filinvest alabang ang nakakaranas ng magandang ekonomiya tulad ng nangyare sa bgc, sana mag tuloy-tuloy ang magandang ekonomiya ng bansa. Salamat sa pag bisita (^.^)
Sunny!!! I've been a subscriber since your first travel here in Ph and since then, I never miss any of your vlogs. So fun to watch! I'm happy to see you are back here! Hopefully, I'll bump into you. 🥰
I had been to Thailand before pandemic and stayed there for 4 months. But I'm in SR visiting a friend and been to Bangkok twice but I love your country and it's a challenge for me to stay there and experience your beautiful culture and the people. Someday I will visit again. Btw I'm Filipina and the first time I have seen your channel and featuring PH you hooked my attention and did the honest review experience in PH not making it over exaggerated positive and negative reviews. Thank you for being honest and given us good insights about the different situation on the countries you visited. Keepsafe on your solo travels and good luck.
Some area gives me San Francisco vibes😮 I suddenly miss my elementary school English teacher they’re pinoy and so nice. Hope I can visit there someday!
My recommendations…Aseana City where MOA, Okada,Solaire,City of Dreams and Resorts World Hotel and Casino are found.Bridgetowne where”Victor” is located. Rockwell and Greenhills.Ortigas business center and Cubao Araneta Center.Eastwood and Newport. Intramuros, Pasig Esplanade and Chinatown.

I'm your fan and from Thailand. I'm currently residing in the Philippines and around the BGC area. That's very closely the place you were visiting in this video ka ❤. BGC is very safe and convenient. I love it ❤❤
There are other Malls& CBDs too in Metro Manila like, Uptown Mall in BGC, Mall of Asia Baywalk, Okada in Aseana city, Megamall, Podium & Shangri-la in Ortigas, Gateway Cubao, Ayala Greenbelt, Ayala Circuit in Makati, Festival Mall in Alabang, Eastwood Libis QC and Newport World Resorts. Best places to hang out & chill on very hot weather. Enjoy your travel, keep safe!
We all know Sunny has a soft spot for the Philippines. I still remember him waving goodbye onboard the plane when it was taking off 2 years ago. I was one of those who subscribed to his channel during this period although I'm not from the Philippines.
Thank you for showing Manila to your subscribers! I also appreciate you giving insights, thoughts and information about the Philippines and Manila... you can really tell that he put efforts in studying these information too. BGC is one of the Central Business District in Metro Manila. You can also try to go to other business district in Metro Manila like Makati Central Business District, Ortigas Center, Manila Bay Area, Alabang, Binondo, Pasay...
