Filipinos visiting there and paying homage some would shed tears coz they know and feel the hardships so endured and fought by our great great great grand parents for the sake of liberty that Philippines has today. Yeah Hero Jose rizal life was told and depicted there in fort santiago that's why he had a beautiful monument in nearby luneta park his firing squad death and burial site he is facing west in a huge Ph flag coz for him he really treasure and so love the country. Maybe that monument and the pole were built when i was not being born yet. 😂 yeah i know coz it's very old monument. If Filipinos would really trace the hardships of our heroes and soldiers the revolution happened during heavy rainy and typhoon seasons in the Philippines their time in late 1800s to 1889 and then the Americans came 1901 and then WWII was told there too. Can you imagine the wars of our poor soldiers fighting two superpowers in their time? Our another one hero Gen. Gregorio del Pilar was only 20 years old who fought in his time too. I read it in a book about him. It's really a feat to gain liberty for their future gens - we today. Yeah i love history subjects and reads them but I don't know them all exactly or if our teachers told us right ahaha Historical sites in metro manila and neighbor provinces are many idk if our tourism department would let tourists see them all and even develop them some are very far. The sites are their hiding places, planning and staging of attacks, our history books difficult to find tho. They say UST the oldest in Asia has a lot kept there but not open to all
@@unotventertainment nope. Not evicted or erected. What I know is 1896 he was already knon to Spain of his revolutionary mind and he was sent to exile in Mindanao I think Dapitan city today. He was put to firing squad yeah December 30, 1896 that so awaken our great heroes to stage war against Spain in 1898 yeah 😂

Intramuros is big as you can also find two Universities within the walls aside from the Cathedral, San Agustin Church, Fort Santiago and other buildings.

Kamusta guys. Yayyyy I'm all caught up. Great video. I think it's a great idea to explore the cultural side of your travels. Not too sure about the ice cream though. I'm loving your Filipino adventures so far. Do stay safe and well and have fun 👍 🏴🏴🇵🇭🙏
Hope you guys can visit Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar in Bataan.. Its really a beautiful place You'll get to know more about the rich cultural history of the Philippines with stunning old houses and scenic places.. go and see it is just a couple of hours travel going to the north. Highly recommended.
ahh hello, just a random watcher here. but there is an intersting place in Bagac Bataan called Las Cadas Filipinas de Acuzar. It is an authentic Spanish era designed buildings. The feel will bring you back in time during 17 to 18 and 19th centuries. It is a privately owned place. It is great to include on the places you would visit.
I like your style of vlogging details by details and your one the foreign vloggers who go to church and explore and your style is not a fastforward kind of vlog and i truly like it very much!❤ i highly recommend to you go to northern province of ilocos sur where you can find historic city of vigan where you can feel old spanish town and old churches, houses, museum enjoy n stay safe n god bless! To both of you!❤
Hi guys, different regions in the Philippines has their own specialty food like dumplings in the oldest Chinatown in the world, bulalo in tagaytay, lechon in Cebu, empanadas in Vigan ilocos sur, cheese and avocado ice cream in Intramuros...bon appetit.
Cheese ice cream is very popular, and so are avocado, mango, and cantaloupe melon. If you're lucky, you'll get ice cream flavors that are rarely encountered like coconut macapuno, mangosteen, etc. I suggest you go to a local grocery and bring home a liter container of the various local flavors of ice cream.
Try going to cabalen to try different filo/ filipino food (buffet syle). Try also mang inasal, try going to small canteens or eatery just on the street (very cheap)..try streetfood (bbq, isaw, balut, betamax, bananacue, turon, lumpiang sariwa, etc)
1:32 the original palace during the Spanish Colonial Period has only 2 floors. After an earthquake that destroyed the structure, the governor’s palace was relocated to the present day Malacañang Palace (kinda far away from Intramuros). It was abandoned until the 1970’s I think. I honestly don’t know why they made it 8 floors during reconstruction haha 😂
To Filipinos, avocados are for desserts. Haha. We usually have it in ice cream or smoothies form. Cheese is also commonly used for desserts and yes, even in ice creams. You can check a local supermarketand see what local flavors of ice cream we have that may interest you. Cheese is used in the following Filipino desserts- leche flan (it's a flan), buko salad (coconut), pichi-pichi (Cassava), Maja blanca (gelo like made of corn/corn flour ) and bibingka (glutinous rice flour cake) . Make sure you try these. Enjoy your stay.
@@sunkissedbucketlist UST is just one in our called Universities Belt zone. In front of it and right side there's lot more. We were schooled there. You can go around Sampaloc district, Sta Cruz district and Sta. Ana district of Manila city. You know our district names were still all Spanish names 😂😂😂 we don't want changing them. There's one site in Sta Ana the oldest burial site of rich Spanish their time. It's beautiful too. It's around near the river, malacañang palace and luneta park by taxi.
@@kilometer6712 "Sta Cruz district and Sta. Ana district of Manila city. You know our district names were still all Spanish names 😂😂😂 we don't want changing them." agreed , its our culture and names and language now , just as america took the brits language , we'll take part of the spaniards , ITS OURS!!!
@@odyseehasdislikesyoutubesu1892 yeah and sometimes we are better than them now ahhahaha sorry Spain but we love you tho you're still richest than Ph 😂
Try visiting "corregidor island". Just off Manila bay. It's the last stand of Filipino and American forces before Manila fell to Japan during world War 2.
According to history, Filipinos fought Spaniards, then the Americans, then the Japanese. Very brave filipinos. Thats why Philippines is called "Pearl of the Orient Seas" and the national anthem have an English version as well the title is Spanish called "Marcha Nacional Filipina" which is the original but in Tagalog it means Lupang Hinirang meaning Beloved Country
Avocado and cheese is just the tip of the iceberg here. You want to see most of the flavors? go to a supermarket and go through the ice cream section and look at all the flavors. That is of course just he commercial flavors. There are many shops that make their own. Like somewhere down south, a province actually made a birds eye chili ice cream.
it's best to visit the fort santiago in the afternoon when the sun is about to set. the lights are beautiful and the ambiance is different. The dungeon was creepy though.
As regards to the ice cream, yes, avocado and cheese are common flavors here. If you want more cheese ice cream, checknout quezo real flavor of Selecta ice cream That is THE best cheese flavor with cheese bits! Checkout avocado flavor of Magnolia ice cream too. Selecta and Magnolia are Filipino ice cream brands available in all grocery stores and even in 7-11.
now that Im done watching your vid in full after whole stories and histories that I wrote now realized the fun you had with the ice cream taste tests ahahahahahah it's cool and cute watching you both had the fun LOL 😂 maybe you should just asked mixing the two flavors but you did it separate and ordered another one next flavor WOOAH that's so fun to experience like kids again in the Philippines LOL 😂 You can have the fruit itself from market stalls and make it yourself just add little sugar and its done. You cut half the fruit but avoid to cut the big seed open it remove the seed and put sugar then scoop it with a spoon and feel the purest fruit 😂
@@sunkissedbucketlist yup because the sorbetero sees you tourists so he felt you will order another one more flavor 😂😂 he knows marketing well ahahahh don't worry it's the cheapest price kids can afford but you did it so fun maybe most Filipinos viewing this vlog will have great fun too watching you coz you shown how it's like to be kids again and enjoy in Ph. More more vids like this ahhahah WE LIKE IT ! seeing British man and her queen enjoy a lot. 😂 But the sorbetes man knows how to make it cheaper. He made less the flavors but add a little more sugar tho and it's ICECREAM ! already Pinoys kids would enjoy 😂😂😂 sometimes we will have it in a bread than the cone. So fun watching you both 😂 It's More Fun In The Philippines even for us to watch tourists like how you like doing it yeah, really. But me I seldom get that cheese flavor am not used to cheese and not even spaghetti with the cheese it's better if it's a mango flavor but sorbetes in the streets like this mostly they don't have mango flavoring idk why. Maybe price of mangoes is more higher or harder to make and preserve am not sure.
Brings back great memories. I had my wedding at San Agustin Church 27 years ago. How cool is that! I last visited the Philippines 2014, I guess it's time to go back. Your videos just makes home sick....huuuhhhh. LOL
Guys you should go next North Of Luzon, Province of Pangasinan such as Alaminos or Bolinao. Or you want to be in a colder place, a city in the mountain, Baguio City. And if you want a Spanish colonial vibes, you should be in Ilocos. ☺️
Yes Avocado & Cheese are some of the traditional and classic Filipino ice cream flavors along with Coconut, Mangoes, Ube and Halo halo. You’ll also find tubs of those ice cream flavors in major groceries frozen section. Filipinos mostly eats avocados as a desert and we’re not use to eating them as toast spread and on eggs like Westerners. Another popular way to eat avocados is to mash ripen avocados in a mug with a couple teaspoons of sugar and lots of powdered or condensed milk.
1:13 "Palacio del Gobernador" is former residence of the governor-general during the Spanish Colonial Era until an earthquake destroyed it on June 3, 1863. At present, it houses the Intramuros Administration, the Commission on Elections and the "Pag-IBIG Fund" (Home Development Mutual Fund) National Capital Region Office.
