- In this video, I visit the Power Plant mall as requested in the comments of a recent video.
After just a few minutes here, I can now understand why you all said to come here. This just might be the best decorated mall in all of Metro Manila, maybe the Philippines too!
What do you think?

Yes it does! 🇵🇭
Beautiful people it means prettiest people and handsome
Yeah!!
i will visit Power plant Mall first time i heard this mall. Nice vlog po.
Yes, so amazing there. Thanks and enjoy! :)
Those condos are all lit up at night and it's beautiful. You can see it as far as BGC .Nothing beats power plant mall Christmas display.
Ahh that is cool! Wish I saw it at night. I agree! Beautiful!
Awesome
Beautiful bro!!*hoornnn Ive never been *hoornnn so its nice to see 😂 *hooornn
HAHAHA dude! The honking is nuts! Super impatient people
Nice. I see you’re visiting powerplant mall. I live in Rockwell and it’s nice living here because it’s very calm compared to other malls except for the holiday season. During the holidays, it tends to get busy because everyone likes to go to see the decor and the lights. People tend to think Rockwell is a place of snobs but I’ve honestly never really had to deal with any. People tend to mind their own business here which I like. Anyways, keep up the great vlogs. I’m a new sub.
Ah that is interesting to hear. Seems like a pleasant place to live! Thanks for watching! :)
What a beautiful mall !! I Love the gorgeous Christmas decorations!!
Seriously! Feels like a winter wonderland here!

Thanks! Happy Holidays coming to you and yours :)
That area is rockwell makati, a posh area of makati, condos in that area are much more expensive than BGC, poblacion is close to that, poblacion is an area like light red light district of makati, many restobars.
You should visit ayala malls, and the ayala triangle dancing lights at makati also, you can also visit eastwood city at quezon city.
It sure seemed very luxurious and private compared to BGC area. I will need to visit those areas when I get the time. Hopefully soon! :)
@@MattReardonVlogs yes, ypu should go back to rockwell at night time on december, they lit up tge whole place in bright yellow color making it to appear shining like gold at night, almost all the bldgs. put bright yellow line colors and also if you will stay here at the ph until new years eve, and you will be amazed.
Ahhh yes like the yellow all over the Makati buildings. But yes, that would be amazing to see.
The decoration is so beautiful! If you use the straw when drinking something dark it prevents your teeth from staining.
Ahhh yes that is correct but sometimes the paper straws are more of a hassle than anything. Starbucks are plastic I think
Welcome to Philippines,enjoy and be safe.
Thanks! :)
New follower here, welcome to the Loving Country The Philippines ❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗we love you
Thanks for following! :) Good to be here!
Yes, piaya is best eaten with coffee or hot chocolate. And again you are right, you can put jams in it or eat it as it is.
Wow such a wonderful delight! I want more! haha
Looks like THE mall to be in this season🎉❤🎄
It sure is!!
Looking forward to later 2024 as well.
Merry Christmas 🎄
Merry Christmas and Happy new Year :)
Yes Friend the spirit of Christmas was in the Philippines ❤️
Sure is
Nice stay happy
Happy life :)
I NOTICED YOU'RE HAVING FUN THERE, MATT. MAYBE SOON I'LL SEE LITTLE MATT WALKING WITH YOU LOL
😂It is a good time here :)
Beautiful 😍
Yes :)
Wow beautiful Philippines ❤❤❤
Yeah sure is!
The interior of Novotel is amazing. One of the fanciest condos in Makati.
Ah really. I should try to enter haha
Be safe especially at night and when crossing the road.
Oh yes. :)
Powerplant Mall is a very exclusive posh mall next to Rustans. Very elite vibe.
Yeah that is true
Hey Matt that river is Pasig River it’s a major lifeline of the city not only of Manila but other cities it flows into like Makati where you’re at. Did you know that you can catch a river ferry near where you hung out and in just a few minutes you’re in Escolta/Binondo? You should try it some time. Beats the city traffic any day.
Actually, I saw the ferry on the map and was thinking hmm where can I catch it to. Maybe I will give it a go one day. Thanks!
You are right Matt, that's a place where monied people live...I am glad you liked the local food Piyaya, its like a flat tortilla with coconut filling...enjoy the Philippines
Yes, sure was tasty! Thanks
I ❤ that classy mall
Super classy!
As a real estate agent we classify Rockwell in the Alpha category. A 2 br apartment unit cost about 90K pesos rent a month (about $1.7K approximately). The New year fireworks in Rockwell is one of the best in Metro Manila.The big structure beside the river is called Century Alpha hotel.
Oof! Expensive I see. Definitely for high rollers. But looks like a chill area to live.
@@MattReardonVlogs rich Filipinos live there including the owners of Rockwell as well as different expats from around the globe. They are also developing in other areas of the city. Another Rockwell area is in Pasig beside Ortigas Center. The Bay City is also a place to watch. Manila is fast growing and developing.Thanks for appreciating the different places in Manila. It's very diversed.
Yes, you said it. Metro Manila is growing fast and I'm glad to be able to visit and see some of the areas now.
You made it to Rockwell Center bro. One of the snobbiest places in the Philippines lol. Beautiful area ❤ You can walk further on the other side and you can see Bel-Air Village, an exclusive village of Rockwell.
Ah yes I think I saw it on Google Maps. Looked very impressive as all the houses seemed to have their own space. Classy neighborhood
@@MattReardonVlogs Nice. Rockwell Center is also the go-to place for the wealthiest in the metro from nearby exclusive villages like Forbes Park, Dasma etc.
AHh yes now I can see why
Try Ube Piaya next time😊. Rockwell Condos are very Expensive💰
Sounds delicious! And now I can imagine that haha
Wow
Yes! Jaw dropping :)
Go to Burgos Circle in BGC every Sunday morning at around 7am. Supercars usually congregate in that area. You will see a line-up of Ferraris, Lamborghinis, etc. in that area every Sunday morning.
Will do and make a video on it. We will see what I can catch
The river is the historic Pasig river which until now is not fully rehabilatated. There is a schedule ferry transporting from guadalupe (makati) to escolta (manila) an alternative way to escape the bustling traffic of the metro. Rockwell area/power plant mall is more amazing at night when all lights lits on then you visit Ayala triagle garden there's a x'mas light free show from 6pm -10pm i guess. Always ask the security which way to go... always heading the wrong way bro ha ha! Enjoy and be safe! 💕🇵🇭
Hahaha yeah always wrong way whoops. Live and learn. Sometimes I ask and some time I just walk to see where it takes me 😂
Christmas 🎄 in the Philippines, Celebrate Started September to December, 👍😎🇵🇭
That's right! It's one of a kind here
Piaya are traditionally from the city of Bacolod from the province of Negros Occidental (western Negros island). I've never had one with peanuts before though. The original ones have a filling of muscovado sugar since Negros is known for sugar plantations.
Ah ok. I need to go there and try them from the original source. Pretty tasty!
That mall is called Power Plant mall because it was literally a power plant before it was converted into a mall.
That is pretty cool. It'd be cool to see photos or a video of how it was converted.
The food festival is from the city of Bacolod in central Philippines. That's where the Piaya, the Chicken Inasal, the Beef Cansi, the Napoleones and much more yummy food were born. You should visit Bacolod and Sipalay cities in Negros Island next time. Bacolod for the food and Sipalay for the white sand beaches.
Yeah I should! Hopefully I can plan a trip in the near future.
it's one of the affluent area in Makati
Ah yes I see
Christmas is Coming Before you Know it 😂😅😂✌️👍👍👍👍💕
Sure is haha
Power Plant Mall is among the first high-end malls in the Philippines, most of the the stores there are designer boutiques. Located in Rockwell Center, the mall itself used to be an electric power-plant, hence the name. it is located in Makati though, but not sure if its part of brgy. poblacion, places like that is treated as a separate area from the barangay itself.
Ahh that is interesting. Was curious about the name!
Namit is Ilonggo dialect that means delicious. What you are eating is called Piyaya from Iloilo City or Bacolod City and not Bohol. Piyaya is best eaten when not over heated in an oven. It comes in different filling inside. It is best eaten with hot beverages.
Ahhh okay. Would be a perfect morning food to have in the mountains to be honest too haha
It is a part of Makati city just across EDSA is Guadalupe Nuevo also of Makati city where I used to live.
Ah right
Nice
You akways deliver Matt! kEep it up. Yeah Rockwell is at the end kf Poblacion. It is a rich area the gated area right next to Rockwell is a posh residential subdivision. So yeah you see fancy cars because there are fancy posh people living there
Ah that is right! Some super-rich folks in that area. Another fancy bubble of MM.
@@MattReardonVlogs thats right
Shangri La Mall too
Where is this one?
Go to the PODIUM Mall.
Eastwood city too
I'll try to make it there!
Wherever mall you go in Metro Manila, expect that it will be crowded. December is the month when Filipinos have more money . Also Filpinos want to spend time for their families. Business is booming during this time of year.
Yes that is definitely true. I'm seeing it. December is a very ALIVE month here haha
Dude go to Ayala triangle 7pm there is festival of lights there.
Ahhh I went there just a few days ago but unfortunately it rained a bunch so I didn't stick around into the evening
It would be great if you get to be invited by a filipino family and have an authentic filipino christmas party experience also New Years! Enjoy Philippines 😊
That could be incredible, or even at any time of the year.
I hope you can vlog about simbang gabi which is a tradition here during dec. 16, - 24 where we go to mass every night or at dawn depending on the region then buy delicacies outside the church everyday straight until christmas eve. @@MattReardonVlogs
Might not get to it but it could be an interesting video to showcase
That’s better known as Rockwell, a truly upscale mall.
Right! It really is!
“Namit “ is Ilonggo for delicious. Piaya is from Bacolod. We also have in Cebu. But famous piaya brand is Bongbong’s from Bacolod.
What is Ilonggo? Dialect? Ah okay. I think that's what she was saying! I couldn't catch the "Bacolod" when she was saying where it originates.
@@MattReardonVlogsyeah bro. Ilonggo is a native tongue/dialect in bacolod city and iloilo city. Mostly people on those places i mention speak ilonggo and english.
Oi bro. I mz the delicacies in negros island especially in bacolod, the piaya and pinasugbo hehe
Ahhh okay. Cool!
I bet they're tasty! Hope to visit one day.
If there are malls that would rival the Power Plant mall, my bets would be the Podium in Ortigas and the malls inside the big casinos (Solaire, Okada and City of Dreams) in Entertainment City.
You might want to visit those casinos. Not to gamble (though you can) but to look around. Their buildings are magnificent. You might also want to walk around Entertainment City. There are more constructions going on there than in Ortigas.
Ah yes that is right. I've been recommended the Podium Mall. I think I will go back next time in the area. And yes, i'd like to spend a few days near MOA and Okada. Would be a fun adventure.
Snippet: I love the Goldish tall Christmas Tree right in the middle of the foyer. The good thing about touring the 'Green Apples,' (clark cityfront mall; eastwood mall; makati commerce district; moa malls; venice mall; asiana malls; ayala malls manila bay; power plant mall; cobao mall; ortigas mall; etc). in PH is that ready-up hot food is within reach -- carry some finger foods while perusing thru sightseeing spots would not be a bad idea. Don't go hungry -- stay full in the Philippines. be blessed, Matt. must behave. nov2023
Hahaha you are right! Such good places to visit and food along the way makes things better :)
Reply to@@MattReardonVlogs-- I see you have a pack-pack, sir. Stick some good food/water inside it :) Thanks again, Matt, for feeding straying cats on the road. be blessed, bro. nov2023 ✝ 🎄 🎀
Yes haha. Usually put some camera supplies, umbrella, and other things in there. Never know when the weather will turn
Reply to@@MattReardonVlogs-- I hope soon you will find work there, too. Yes, it does rain a great deal in that part of the world and temperature can be unbearable all-day-long. Stay indoor in the middle of the day -- that's when the heat sizzled. Wishing you well, bro. Grateful for your kindness to our stray cats on the road -- all animals are supposed to be kept in Manila Zoo and can be taken there if found without a lease. be blessed. nov2023
Yes, hope it all works out. Thanks a lot for the wisdom and comments. Take care!
I ❤ it
Me too!
👍😍🇵🇭🍺
😎
And Matt you always look hot especially when you are sweaty and looking tire. hahahah You are handsome young man
HAHAHA many thanks 😂
Hello friend,Please watch Manila new Year.but you have to go the very high Building or Condo experience how we celebrate New year.( Rooftop).you will blownaway.staysafe❤🇵🇭
Ahhh right I figured that is so! Better to stay in a tall hotel or condo during that time
take 2Go Masagana vessel Stateroom on your way to Cebu
What's that?
🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🔥🔥🔥🏙️🏙️🏙️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Good vibes! :)
Pls go to Okada hotel
One day! It's far away so maybe a time when I stay near there
I Have To Re watched This Videos For The Piaya Maybe I Can find it Here in The USA…. 😂😅✌️✌️🙌
Yeah maybe it is possible in some filipino areas
visit Eastwood
Soon possibly!
I miss the philippines.. Ottawa is such a shitty place. There is no good restaurants, limited subpar places to chill, the good ones are so expensive, weather is shitty, homeless and drug addicts are everywhere. I hope I can save enough for a little vacation.
Never been to Canada. Yes, you should save up and make it to PH when you have the opportunity. Unfortunately, life in the US is so similar to what you described and it's sad :(
Idk how you're holding your camera but it better be strapped securely to your wrist or something. Lots of snatchers in the urban areas of the Philippines.
I hold it with a tight grip. Never had or encountered such a problem. Only place I have is in Latin America.
