    I agree with some of the comments. Your vlog is diff from the others. It's good to see someone doing their homework and showing a genuine interest in my home country. I enjoy watching all youtubers that post about the Philippines (good or bad) since I haven't been home in 37 yrs. I get to see the changes and experience it with you. BTW, your wife is gorgeous! Stay safe and thank you.

      Every country has its own uniqueness.
      Too much on the Phils. may suffocate after sometime.
      You have many islands each may differ from another, just as the inhabitants. Beautiful beaches just attract.
      Your slums would give a different perspective about the country n questions will arise about the political system.
      Much more there is about the Phils. I do watch but not continuously though.

    I love your narration, your audio makes me feel I am watching a mainstream documentary film. Great! That spells the quality of your content. And I am touched of your generosity to the taxi drivers. Some are cautious of them, instead you show them your generosity and appreciation of their work. Thumbs up! Looking forward for the next video.

    Hehe did't know this place existed there and I have been to Philippines 6 times :))) Thanks for showing us, do you know when they built this? 500 pesos is a bargain to take a ride in Gondola - now if they could teach the Filipino Gondola drivers to speak English with an Italian accent that would be the added value ;)

    Fun fact before WW2 Manila was designed by the Spanish to be a Mix of Paris, Venice and Naples and was dubbed the Queen of the Pacific and The Paris of Asia.
    But as it was the 2nd most Devastated City in WW2 2nd only to Warsaw Poland, almost everything was decimated, the Canals are probably the only things left and until it was cleaned, it was a huge waste problem as they were all so dirty and full of trash.

    Great vlog! McKinley is nice but only a small part of BGC, I suggest you also take time out to see the High Street Area from Serendra all the way down. Best to see it in the mid to late afternoon and thru the night when most people come out with their kids, pets, family and friends to walk around and have snacks or dinner. BGC is quite big and our only real "walkable city" in the metro when the weather is not too hot. You may also want to reconsider relocating your base from Binondo to Makati or BGC to be more central to surrounding cities within Metro Manila and nearby provinces in case you guys stay longer and explore further away. Stay safe!

    You guys should try traveling to the nothern part of luzon. I'd recommend going to the Cordillera region, ilocos region and batanes.
    If you're going to the Cordillera region, the best place would be baguio, sagada, banaue(rice terraces), and kalinga. Kalinga would be good if you're interested in taking a rare traditional kalinga tattoo.
    If you're going to the ilocos region, then I'd recommend going to hundred islands, vigan, bangui windmills, kabigan falls pagudpud, blue lagoon, bell tower bantay.
    And if you want to go to batanes, then the whole island is pretty much the tourist spot. It's also considered the most beautiful island of the Philippines.
