Manila is really developing rapidly with all those business districts sprouting everywhere. There are other developments upcoming in the Pasay area. The reclamation however was abruptly postponed for further studies. Makati is currently redefining it's cityscape. The Mandaluyong area is also developing. Ortigas is currently facelifting. We do also expect up north like the Subic area. Manila will really become a bustling mega city in the very near future. Enjoy your exploring Manila and more power to your channel.
I think the impact will be greatly felt once subway line from airport to several business districts will open in 2028. According to reports from government, they are on schedule. I didn’t know that BGC will have two stations: in Market Market and Uptown. I thought it’s only in Market Market. Ortigas will have two stations: one in Estancia Capitol Commons and one in front of Marco Polo Hotel and walking distance to Westin Hotel.
You have to visit ASEANA city. Its in pasay city near mall of asia. It's gonna be las vegas type with so many casinos and 5 star hotels like okada an entertainment district. The new ultra modern mall just open. The parqal mall.
I stay in Eastwood when am in manila . I love it there cause you can just walk that loop to go to banks , restaurants , church , 2 supermarkets, shopping , spa, and I like the vibe
There;s a replica of cable car of San Francisco roaming around Eastwood City everyday. Wondering where is that now. I saw that in other videos of Eastwood.
You may also want to visit filinvest in alabang in the south.its like bgc that is not crowded.more.spacious.the 3rd or fifth largest mall is there,the festival mall.
I see how you can compare it to SF and LA, it’s what you would hope these cities to be, but now unfortunately have become so degraded. I’m from LA born and raised still here for 30+ years. That shopping area youre at specifically reminds me of Universal Citywalk (between San Fernando Valley Studio City area and Hollywood) but is more clean and modern! Keep it up Zane we will keep watching 👏🏼
Since the downtown "San Francisco" area is now a scene from a horror movie, with most stores having shut their doors and huge crime, how does it compare with Eastwood City?
I’ve been to San Francisco. Crime, homeless people in tents, ghost downtown, high incidence of shoplifting, killings are definitely not seen here in Eastwood, Metro Manila. It is a small district with residential towers, malls and many American companies who have offices, restaurants and bars. Just for purely fun and business. There are many days and weeks in Eastwood with zero crime incidence.
I am so sad with the developments in California since I have close family friends and cousins who are still there. I love Beverly Hills and my favorite Venice Beach.
S.F has been the dumps lately but so has many major U.S cities. It was a gem back in the 70's, 80's and 90's though. No, Eastwood city is nowhere near that, I basically look at these cities here like districts compare to S.F .
I love that you went to Eastwood City! Makes me a little emotional since it’s where I spent a lot of my time with my mom when we went to the Philippines together. She passed away last year. So nice to see Eastwood still looking good. Thank you!
I hope to travel to San Francisco one day, I heard it’s special! You are very connected to the shopping mall. Can I call you the king of the shopping mall? That beef taco looks delicious, thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful afternoon! 👍🥰🙏
A Long Time ago San Francisco is my To Go Town Here in California Because Of The Golden Gate …. But Now Most Of The Big City Here in Cali is All Like That , So many Homeless, Like Seattle Washington Too ✌️✌️✌️
The thing is, generally, Filipinos are self-deprecating. They seem hesitant to praise the country that has everything to offer. Things have indeed changed in a most POSITIVE WAY, and oh wow, Manila is world class. I live in Europe and travel around this continent, but it is becoming decadent. I was in the Netherlands just a couple of days ago to spend my birthday week. What a peaceful, efficient city. Filipinos too, can learn a lot from the efficient Dutch. They even teach their citizens how to behave. Still, good to see you having a grand time appreciating what Metro Manila has to offer. Thank you. Cheers from Spain!
Truth! If I can add anything to my country: a metro/train along C5 parallel to MRT, and of course connecting to MRT/LRT somewhere, power plants and modern ports to support manufacturing here, etc. Given the storms we have, agriculture really isn't a good thing to focus here from an economic standpoint.
We don’t know why we keep on watching your vlogs hahahaa but it give us quality content just by doing so.. keep it up 💙 more Philippine travel tour soon?
Manila has new modern buildings whereas SF has old buildings but has modern amenities that Manila doesn’t have. Okay, Manila malls excels those in SF, but when you leave the malls, the reality of a a third world country is visible to your eyes. I’m Filipino but I don’t let my nationalistic pride defy my judgements.
I'm also Filipino and born in San Francisco. I love Manila, beautiful malls, entertainment, restaurants, but living in the Philippines today is like living in the 1800’s with poor infrastructure. For the easy life, the Philippines wins hands down.
If you’re still here during christmas time, the POWERPLANT MALL in Rockwell Makati has for me the best lighting and interior decorations during christmas.
@@cuanber60 hahah! sorry but we are still a third world country. and that is due to our corrupt government officials and incompetent leaders like duterte and bbm. and also, beautiful cities as what you’ve said? where?
Sir, lengua is Spanish for tongue pronounced as leng - wa. You'll be shocked how good it taste! Specially if its drizzled with gravy. The other version is lengua estofado in tomato sauce. Since you're exploring the malls in the north, try UP town center not to be confused with Uptown Mall. UP because thr lot is owned by University of the Philippines where UP high school used to be. Its at Kapitunan QC where the university belt of the north is at.
Great video! At 22:53, that kinda looks like downtown San Francisco! How do you like Eastwood City compared to BGC or Makati. I hear Eastwood is cheaper!
I somewhat agree but I should have included in my comment that I was just referring to the similarities in the infrastructures and urban atmosphere plus we have better and bigger malls that you folks do over there. Now, rest your mind and stop overthinking pal.@@phoenix5054
yes i love Eastwood city was there Summer of 2022 nice and clean business and condo District Living amazing light's at night hour beautiful place for people to enjoy there self😀
24:57 I wonder if foreign tourists especially Americans still remember Kenny Rogers Roasters restaurant. I just noticed they always skip that part of their travel vlogs.
Just like how Mc D's or Mickey D's is the American slang for McDonalds, in the Philippines the slang for it is McDo (pronounced with a short ô at tne end). Just thought you wanted to know
Zane it’s the Beauty of the Philippines. Is not cali or San Fran. Philippines is beautiful you can see it on your two eyes. I used to live in Bay Area it doesn’t look like San Fran. I hope you really like what you see.
I’m from Bay Area n45 mins drive from Newark. San Francisco more dirty place a lot of homeless people and a lot of crimes and also not safe for the business it’s hard to describe but not safe..Eastwood city more beautiful clean and smell fresh..
I cant remember if i have suggested to you to visit Fil Invest Alabang and visit Festival Mall, and surroundings area like WestGate (food area),Alabang Town Center, & Molito (food area - fine dining). Beautiful in the evening
I just spent a week in Eastwood City based on this video. I really enjoyed the area. Rode out the typhoon there. The Eastwood Richmonde Hotel is connected to the mall, so I could walk in the mall and do much of the City Walk (under awnings) without getting drenched. I think I like the area better than BGC.
When you visit University of the Philippines, pass by at Kalayaan Avenue where you wil see Ateneo De Manila University and Meriam College too. Xavier University too
I love how malls are still extremely popular in the PHs. You're lucky if there is one popular mall in each major city here in the USA. Oh yea I'm pretty sure I saw a Kenny Rogers Roasters which I haven't seen here in the US for 30 years.
Ya you are in eastwood there different kind of food there you can choose if you want thai food,chinese food,utalian ,filipino,vietnam,and mall and supermarket,you to sout in manila along roxas bowlivard the biggest mall The MOA and IKEA the biggest mall in the world.
Welcome to philippines nice to travel in the philippines vlogger say you go to philippines to see what they see not only for the vlogger to what they in there eyes thats why they its fan in the philippines
I’m so tired of Filipinos negative comments about SF 🇺🇸. If you don’t like it why don’t you move to the 🇵🇭? Let’s see how long you will last?! There are so many of our kababayans who want to live in the 🇺🇸 for a better life. Can you imagine supporting a big family if you’re only making 400 pesos a day in the 🇵🇭? You all are blessed that you’re living in SF with good paying jobs. Please stop with the negative comments ☮️
first time seeing the Eastwood City, it's almost perfect, it's clean, and lots of beautiful buildings plus beautiful lights specially in the night
Eastwood is nice, it’s a small tea but lots of food choices, very nice. And it’s lively at night too
Before pandemic, they used to have a club at the basement. It was always full.

Thank you for visiting our country. I haven't personally been there in Eastwood, absolutely beautiful.
I'm shocked you weren't stopped for filming. The guards here in Eastwood are so strict hahaha! good vid!
Eastwood City is really nice, we usually go there during the Holiday season. 👍

Feel like in uk as well so amazing in Manila too Philippines 🇵🇭
I hope to travel to San Francisco one day, I heard it’s special!
You are very connected to the shopping mall. Can I call you the king of the shopping mall?
That beef taco looks delicious, thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful afternoon! 👍🥰🙏
He did enter the Eastwood City mall.
SF is no more. Homeless around the place. Horrible.. store were closed because of many shop lifters…
No more Mall downtown SF most business/stores are closed soon to become a ghost city
@@joserizal6773 ay Sayang talaga Ang SF pinabayaan ng governo dito daming addict katakut

what do you mean by behavior? what needs to change?
foreigners often accuse us of two things -- either we are overly proud or self- deprecating.. LOL hope they can make up their minds 😂
Yes, send Dutch people here to discipline these Filipinos. Good luck on that.
Truth!

The shorter ads helped me finish your videos, i didnt skip all those ads in support of your humble channel
Immaculate and strikingly vibrant scenes here. Thanks, Zane!
I lived there from 2003 to 2006 :) Haven’t visited Eastwood City for a while. I think I should go and visit again soon :)
Excellent video Zane 👍
The nightlife there is amazing! Be returning again!
Hi zane. Enjoy the place take care
Eastwood is considered one of the nicest and best place to dine in with your family. It's a safe place and very clean as well.
More tours, please. I'm looking forward to your next vlog.
Silantro is my fave!!!!❤ 25:49
I love their chicken calliente and nachos. Also the dynamite. 27:17
Eastwood was a great city. Thanks for visiting.
Many call centers (BPO) are in Eastwood

I’m Pinay and I agree with you.
Colonial mentality is real
I'm also Filipino and born in San Francisco. I love Manila, beautiful malls, entertainment, restaurants, but living in the Philippines today is like living in the 1800’s with poor infrastructure. For the easy life, the Philippines wins hands down.
@@methemonkeyking I don't think cities in the 1800s resemble any of the CBDs in Metro Manila esp. BGC.
Have you been to BGC?
What a beautiful place, thanks for sharing it. 🤩🤩
When i was a child i used to dream of migrating to San Fo. Not anymore but i would like to visit from time to time
Good job hope you enjoy the place..nice n clean to visit.
If you like Universities, the you should checkout UST near Sampaloc and De La Salle University near Star City.
If you’re still here during christmas time, the POWERPLANT MALL in Rockwell Makati has for me the best lighting and interior decorations during christmas.
Long Life my Beloved country Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭 🇵🇭🇵🇭❤️❤️❤️❤️
Comparing this to San Francisco would be an insult to Eastwood city. I’m from San Francisco and it’s not clean these days. 😂
i know. never compare a first world country to a third world country
Eastwood city is NOT the SF of RP. Eastwood city is Eastwood city
Hot weather not frisco lol😂
@@cuanber60 hahah! sorry but we are still a third world country. and that is due to our corrupt government officials and incompetent leaders like duterte and bbm. and also, beautiful cities as what you’ve said? where?
@@Jonases_20if you ever saw San Francisco rn it would look like you were in a developing country.

How do you like Eastwood City compared to BGC or Makati. I hear Eastwood is cheaper!
Thanks for this video amazing..👍😍🇵🇭
Yup, you may well agree by now if I say that The Philippines, especially urban Manila can be called as the Little United States of America.
I don't know if that's a good thing. We don't do mass shootings, daylight druggies, BLM riots, and organized retail robberies as well as you do.
I somewhat agree but I should have included in my comment that I was just referring to the similarities in the infrastructures and urban atmosphere plus we have better and bigger malls that you folks do over there. Now, rest your mind and stop overthinking pal.@@phoenix5054
It's SF without the homeless, druggies and rampant shoplifting.
Exactly😂😂😂
To the T
I read there's lots of feces in SFO due to poverty there.
@@bigradwolf5001They’re not poor. They’re junkies.
yes i love Eastwood city was there Summer of 2022 nice and clean business and condo District Living amazing light's at night hour beautiful place for people to enjoy there self😀
You are awesome 👏 great Philippines 👏
How beautiful in Manila
you are right Zane...Eastwood City in the Philippines is cleaner than San Francisco USA
Beautiful place, especially at night with all the lights. Very walkable and things are easily accessible.
Nice thing you're doing is thay you have thoroughly explore the whole area
Yey. Sanmig Buddy!!! Apple and Lychee the best! 29:41
Loving the videos Zane!
24:57 I wonder if foreign tourists especially Americans still remember Kenny Rogers Roasters restaurant. I just noticed they always skip that part of their travel vlogs.
Just like how Mc D's or Mickey D's is the American slang for McDonalds, in the Philippines the slang for it is McDo (pronounced with a short ô at tne end). Just thought you wanted to know
Yes, I would visit at Eastwood mall. And the China Town at Binondo Manila.
I wish you’d explore these places during night time as well. Very curious about the vibe it will give off compared to daytime!
Zane it’s the Beauty of the Philippines. Is not cali or San Fran. Philippines is beautiful you can see it on your two eyes. I used to live in Bay Area it doesn’t look like San Fran. I hope you really like what you see.
I’m from Bay Area n45 mins drive from Newark. San Francisco more dirty place a lot of homeless people and a lot of crimes and also not safe for the business it’s hard to describe but not safe..Eastwood city more beautiful clean and smell fresh..
I sense a bit of DUMBO x Williamsburg Brooklyn too especially by the main road.
Try to visit Ayala Alabang Festival Mall.
Very unique in Eastwood.. yeah like in town San Francisco! Philippines so nice and clean
Wonderful vlod

You can try to visit Greenhills too and its surroundings.
It's much better than San Fran . And the malls in the Philippines is way better and bigger than U. S.
SF is still way more beautiful though despite it's bad reputation today
New subscriber here from the Philippines
You missed the cable car in Eastwood city.
When you visit University of the Philippines, pass by at Kalayaan Avenue where you wil see Ateneo De Manila University and Meriam College too. Xavier University too
I love how malls are still extremely popular in the PHs.
You're lucky if there is one popular mall in each major city here in the USA.
Oh yea I'm pretty sure I saw a Kenny Rogers Roasters which I haven't seen here in the US for 30 years.
You are correct its the same developer
Ya you are in eastwood there different kind of food there you can choose if you want thai food,chinese food,utalian ,filipino,vietnam,and mall and supermarket,you to sout in manila along roxas bowlivard the biggest mall The MOA and IKEA the biggest mall in the world.
Try buffet 101 or Cabalen so you can try a variety of Filipino food.
Hello Zane. I used to work in East Wood 8 years ago.
Welcome to philippines nice to travel in the philippines vlogger say you go to philippines to see what they see not only for the vlogger to what they in there eyes thats why they its fan in the philippines
Everything you need are inside the city. This is the best place to shop and dine.
That cat in your video had came to me ,when I was there and it hung out with me and fed him heehee
such a nice place 😮
it's at its best at night man
Next visit is Rockwell Power Pkant Mall and Newport Resort World
When can we have our own apple store 😢 15:02 Apple devices are really expensive here.
Subaru Crosstrek cost between $25- 32K in the USA. $37K cost more in the Manila.
Beef tongue soft-shelled tacos are delicious.
Cooked beef tongue tastes like a flavorful beef hotdog.
Oh its so clean.
THose who are saying taht it is the san francisco of the philippines, they just heard it from other vlogger.
It's the idea of the developer and it was indeed inspired by it
Cool area but I'm curious to know who are the people on the stars? Famous Filipinos I am assuming?
Nice place hope I can travel
Thanks for this!
Those balloons with 🚥lights🚥 are called "Lanterns" Zane!
Hope you’ll visit vigan city one day
Those lights are called lanterns not ballons.The setting looks like the big cities of Europe and USA.
I still prefer the original SF despite its bad reputation today... Its still SF and still beautiful
I’m so tired of Filipinos negative comments about SF 🇺🇸. If you don’t like it why don’t you move to the 🇵🇭? Let’s see how long you will last?! There are so many of our kababayans who want to live in the 🇺🇸 for a better life. Can you imagine supporting a big family if you’re only making 400 pesos a day in the 🇵🇭?

I think Breadtalk is a Singaporean brand. But it’s really poppin here in the Philippines! I love it!
Breadtalk is Indonesian brand
This place gives me the Honolulu, Hawaii vibe.
If you like beer, when you have the opportunity, try Pilsner Urquell.
