  • YOU Decide! Is THIS the REAL Philippines?
    Welcome to our latest video where we explore the vibrant Bonifacio Global City (BGC) in the Philippines! 🏙️
    In this episode, we dive into the heart of BGC, capturing its bustling daytime scenes and dynamic nightlife. But here's the question we're tackling: Is BGC the real Philippines? Some say it's a bubble, an urban oasis that doesn't reflect the true essence of the country. Others argue that BGC is as Filipino as it gets, home to many locals and a diverse community of expats and foreigners.
    Join the debate!:
    The stunning day-to-day life in BGC
    The electric atmosphere of BGC at night
    The debate on whether BGC represents the real Philippines
    Perspectives from locals and expatriates living in BGC
    What do you think? Is BGC just a bubble, or is it a genuine part of the Philippines' cultural and social fabric? Watch the video, share your thoughts in the comments, and let’s get the conversation started!

    As a local citizen, I view this Business District as a beacon of gradual progress meeting the demand of the times .. or as a "Blueprint" for ongoing and future urban developments across the country ... The rest of the other ghastly-looking, poverty-ridden cities with poor old infrastructure are areas still left untouched by Gentrification / Redevelopment, but places we wish to see improved next ... BGC, therefore, is not "FAKE" or a mere "Facade" but a "STANDING MODEL", a "GUIDING VISION" for Future Philippine Cities as the nation heads in the direction of a better economy.

    That question, " Is This the Real Philippines " is at best, ignorant. This blogger is American and should know that America, before its liberation from Great Britain 246 years ago was in desperate condition. Before America's industrialization, America was an agricultural society. People ate supper at around 3: 00 or 4:00 pm because there was no electricity. Remember that America was once a third world country with only 1 per cent of its population that were educated.
    I can imagine the British asking the same question 200 years ago: IS THIS the REAL AMERICA ?

    What foreigners will not see is the "petty" crimes going on in that pretty little paradise because criminals mostly prey on those middle income earners working in that area who commute and go to areas less visited by foreigners and vistiors with their own cars. I know at least 2 victims separately. They were influenced by the big corp to keep their mouths shut to maintain the "pristine" reputation of the area.

      That ordinary 99% doesn't mean (in case that's your point) they're all unsightly. If we all wonder and question and do it non-stop as to why developing countries have this ultra modern spots, then that's almost saying the country doesn't have that potential. Having had this spot already shows it has that capability. The Ayalas are Filipinos. Their great grandparents were born in the Philippines. Their Spanish look doesn't matter. The Sys of the SMs are Filipinos. Their father is from China, but he's also a Filipino. Let's not forget we all our Malay settlers from outside the Philippines long ago. The real Filipinos are the black aetas. This is to establish and stress the point that what we all see, the modern developments are all Filipino-owned. Even the progress of the US is the product of European settlers who call themselves Americans because they really are. The native ones are the indigenous Indians. It's normal to be shocked at something unusual as exemplified by the shocks of the vloggers when they see BGC. But yes, BGC is the Philippines. Though it will take sooo many years to have all the cities in the country looking modern. But we have started. We also owe a big part of this to multinationals, most of them Americans, Europeans, Japanese, and locating their corporations in our country. That's what made China as we see mind-boggling Chinese developments today. They became rich, not completely on their own but a huge part of it was the multinationals' ( the foreign businesses) contributions. In the meantime, the sprouting modern tiny cities we see like BGC is the Philippines.

    that's true!! part in the Philippines that is beautiful..like BGC!! but that's not the real Philippines!! get out there in BGC! get out of manila..go to another part of the philippines!! and that's where you can meet the real filipino! and the real Filipino lifestyle!! that's not there in BGC or Makate!! that's american style BGC! I can't see the real Philippines there!!! we are tropical, we are not just buildings!! there's nothing better than a house under a coconut tree on the side of the beach with white sand..that's not in BGC!!
