    I really like Filipino people. They are nice, nice, friendly, easy to talk to. That's because I have a Filipino teacher teaching English in Thailand. They always remind us of one good thing. They are my greatest teachers. He and I currently live in different cities in Thailand. He has been working in Thailand for many years. He is loved by everyone. Hope I can see him again sometime. # i miss u my teacher ❣️🇵🇭 from THA.

    24:25 it’s a redeveloped portion of Manila Bay. It’s used to be full of trash and polluted, so people cannot swim. The sand in Manila bay is dark(or black) but it was topped with crushed dolomite so the beach looked whiter now. You see the water looks a bit murky still, that’s because of Manila Bay’s natural dark sand. People are making good progress on cleaning the bay and security is tight that you cannot bring food and plastic bottles in the beach. Sooner people can swim again and we’ll see a more lively Manila Bay.

    @30:37 Those are called Crinkles.
    Chocolate Crinkles are a deliciously soft, fudge-like cookie that are encased in a generous coating of confectioners (powdered or icing) sugar. The name "Crinkle" probably refers to how the powdered sugar "crinkles" or "cracks" as the cookies bake, revealing a little of the chocolate underneath. -@google

    Metro Manila has 16 cities, each with its own vibe.
    Binondo (Chinatown) was the financial center in the 1800s, Manila in the 50s, Makati in the 80s, BGC early 2000s.
    They’re all different.

    you're absolutely right, they are bullet holes during World War II, this was the place where Americans and Filipinos stayed and fought with Japanese. This is also the place where our hero Dr Jose Rizal was jailed against the Spaniards.

      “Rampage: MacArthur, Yamashita, and the Battle of Manila” by
      James Scott is a sad, but terrific book on the subject. Also, RUclips’s Mark Felton’s
      “ Stalingrad of the Pacific” is a short, but worthwhile video on the Battle of Manila.

    @02:17 They are most possibly bullet holes. The fort was severely damaged during the WW2 because the Americans had to bomb it, and it was a site of fierce battles, because they had to send out the Japanese who stationed themselves inside it. The fort would have been more beautiful, with more old Spanish-time buildings were it not for destruction of the WW2. Although, clearly, a few of the holes at the edges of the entry ways are holes left from studs or big nails the were holding the old gates.

    While in Metro-Manila, go to our biggest Mall in the Phils., The Mall of Asia (MOA) and the modern city Bonifacio Global City (BGC). Try also The Araneta Center Quezon City the newly opened Gateway Mall 2 and also go to the Eastwood City also located in Quezon City and also go around the Makati area like Greenbelt Mall and Glorietta Mall. It’s also nice to go to a prestigious hotel and casino like OKADA Hotel, City of Dreams, Solaire located in Paranaque, Metro-Manila.

    Most of traditional filipino food are a bit salty or robust taste because they are supposed to be eaten with rice. But some high end restos have tamed it somehow to fit international palates. If you go to carenderias or the traditional street restaurants, you will find condiment bottles of soy sauce, fish sauce and vinegar and you can request for chillis, because filipino food are supposed to finished on the table by the eater on his plate to fit his palate or his taste.

    4:31 It is a cross between Filipino and Spanish architecture, it's mostly a Filipino-based architecture because what sets this country apart from Spain is the tropical environment, so old colonial Philippine architecture are more airy and full of open windows, something you don't see too much in spanish buildings

    2:27 you're correct. Those are bullet holes from the Battle of Manila WWII, in 1945. the Japanese forces retreated to Intramuros, including Fort Santiago, where it was severely damaged by the bombings and gunfights between the US forces and Japanese imperial army.

These areas are similar to Singapore, New York, San Francisco and other modern Western cities😁 In the islands there are only a few areas close to these places in terms of how modern amd well maintained they are. So b4 experiencing the island life it's nice to see what modern Metro Manila can offer our foreign globe trotters😊
