- I Was Shocked By Manila Philippines On My First Day!! In this Philippines travel vlog on my first day In Manila Philippines and I am shocked by the beauty of the BGC (bonifacio global city) area of Manila. This BGC area looks nothing like other parts of Philippines and resembles New york city or Los Angeles with all the tall skyscrapers and wide streets. When you travel to Manila Philippines you must visit the BGC area.

Who am I?
A man from the USA trying to travel the world one place at a time, while sharing the journey through my lens. I like traveling to places that are usually not first on most people’s tourism list and showing everyone that these places are worth the journey. I want to experience all the countries I visit as a member of the society but at the same time learn about the culture, food and beautiful people. Growth is not achievable without leaving your comfort zone, so just do it!

Will you visit COTABATO again??
Corrupt politician sold this to pilipino Chinese businessman,
Will you visit Uzbekistan? Since three years Uzbekistan is open for tourist. Uzbekistan is the cheapest country in the world. 90% people from Uzbekistan are muslims
New subscriber here from Seattle Washington welcome to my beautiful humble country hope you enjoy your stay mabuhay ❤❤❤
I live in Marawi City the Islamic City of Marawi City. we are going to the Ground Zero brother.. I have a lot of friends like you brother then they are contacting me to visit at GroundZero at Marawi City. In Sha Allah. i hope you can see my comments.
As I said, BGC is NOT the only commercial area in Metro Manila.
As I said BGC, Makati and Ortigas are the cities in the Metropolis that are well planned and in harmony with the importance of greeneries that's why there are a lot of open spaces and vegetation that are not only pleasing to the eyes but environmentally friendly too. These areas are developed by the Ayalas and the Ortigas who are Spaniard descendants compared to Chinese monkey business people who have no regard for proper urban planning as long they are earning deceitful money from the blood of the Filipinos.
Many areas now are under developments. Like ortigas, filinvest alabang, Eastwood city, asean bay city, C5 corridors are fastest growing business districts, Cubao, and many more.
There will be subway stations in a couple of years from now.
Most buildings are owned by Filipino businessmen. It's not accurate that Koreans or Japanese or Chinese own them. 😊
Philippine law doesn't allow foreign nationals to own 100% properties, investment/businesses. The law allowing 60 - 40, which means 60% owned by local investors and 40% owned by foreign investors.
No BGC is not own by korean and japanese.The Ayala land and Evergreen are developer of the BGC
Joeyzee no one ask you who own the bgc each person knowa how to reseach.What you do is just the indication of your jelousy.
@@Jewelqld8 the video said that Chinese, Koreans and Japanese own many of the buildings. I'm just correcting it. What jealousy are you talking about? Are you addict?😊
00:22 You know you are not in Manila. Then why do you still keep calling it "Manila" then? BGC is in Taguig City!
01:05 You're jaywalking. You're lucky there are no police around. Pls behave. You are not in America.
02:27 Additional info: BGC is not really a "city". It's just a business district with a fancy name. This means BGC is not part of the government. It does not have its own mayor. It cannot impose taxes. It does not offer free healthcare services. No judiciary, etc. BGC, in turn, is located in Taguig (the real city).
WoW very impressive city
Very clean, advanced & organized
@enricocontrerasaraneta7290 Nakita mo na to ng maraming beses eh.
Agreed very impressive
Judging by the many online videos I wouldn't say the whole of Manila is a "very impressive city."
Maybe McDonslds Philippines has a different taste than those from the USA because maybe the produce were from Manila where beef is usually so tasty as these are mostly grass-fed cows
Mr. Myer:Thanks you so much for this new remarkable video this weekend from Manila, The Philippines to shows these amazing places on the streets of Manila in great joy to shows these amazing skyscrapers, hotels, Malls, restaurants, stores, etc. in June of 2024❤❤❤
i like this guy he so good to explain bout the looks in east and west much love brotha we filo support a vlog like urs !!!
Thank you I really appreciate that!
If you like New York, try to visit East Wood City inside Quezon city.
ihotel used to be zen premium hotel. stayed there for a few days during my cancelled flights to canada and my US embassy interview back in 2020. a day before my interview, taal volcano erupted, hence, the ashes i noticed outside sm megamall when i stepped out of the mall. then covid hit a few months after. how time flies!
Manila Philippines 😊
Welcome to Manila, The Philippines this weekend in great joy & peace to tours many amazing places on the streets with great skyscrapers, restaurants, hotels, stores, shops, etc. in 2024❤❤❤
I think you should take a look at the newest commercial and entertainment hub of the country the Pasay-Parañaque Bay City.
BGC is in Taguig and Taguig is part of metro manila. Enjoy ur days in the metro and be safe.
Like Manila International Airport located NOT in Manila but in Pasay/Paranaque City! Manila is more popular Global that PHILIPPINES🇵🇭🌈✅‼️
@@uchniezt1212 - I disagree! Miserly foreigners outside the ASEAN Nations, especially in Europe , Scandinavian countries, the United States , Africa, refer to our International Airport and know that it is MANILA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT( Not NAIA) located in Manila,(again Not in the Philippines )! Why so, Because it became as part of our history! So whatever name you mention in the structures, still NANILA RESOUNDS ALL THE TIME! Anyways, what is important, our foreign tourists are coming which our dear Philippines needs🇵🇭🇵🇭🌈🌈✅🙏🙏👍👍‼️
“Miserly” wrong press. Mea culpa3🙏‼️
It should be” mostly” not “Miserly”.
When alot of trolls complaining about foods in the philipppines when theres alot of american western and even east asian restaurants in there.
I wouldn't just dismiss them as trolls. It's alarming how many foreigners dislike Filipino food. Filipino food has potential to be good but it lacks balance in flavors and too much fats and sugar.
@@gregmasters8558Sorry but a troll like you didn't like it
@@chaopanofasia8490 I'm half Filipino and love Filipino food but I can see why foreigners dislike it. Filipino food can be greasy,salty, lacking vegetables, and just lacking balance. Philippines isn't popular for it's food it's known for its women.
@@gregmasters8558 Wala akung pake kung half Filipino ka pa. Ang sinasabi ko "TANGA" ka rin na katulad nila. Bakit ano gusto mo lagi kaming mag aadjust sa mga palete nyo? Sinigang, Chopsuey, Pinakbet alisan mo lang ng bagoong ilagay mo salt. Daming paraan. Pati Nilaga at Tinola healthy namn yan daming vegetable na kasama. Reklamador lang kayo.
@@gregmasters8558 Sikat na ang Filipino food maging sa Amerika at Europa. Sobra ka sa katangahan talaga.
next time check if there is pedestrian nearby when you cross from your hotel to BGC. Literally wont take 2minutes of your time. Shows respect to people who uses the pedestrian vs a foreigner who don't. and please follow traffic rules.
why should he do that. Philippines is still a third world country
Agree 100%
Couldn't agree more! This is not pakistan or india. Lol.
Respect our country ❤❤❤❤
Nagsalita ang mga Pilipino known for jaywalking 😂
Mr. Myer:Welcome to Manila, The Philippines in great joy & peace this weekend to tours many places in Manila on the streets in June of 2024❤❤❤
Anong welcome to Manila eh last year andto din sya.
Next time use the pedestrian lane
When in Metro Manila, the Best thing to do is Mall tours, aside from X churches, we have tons of Malls too like: SM Mall of Asia Baywalk, Okada & Parqal Mall in Aseana city, Venice grand Canal Mall in McKinley, Uptown Mall in BGC (you’ve been); Megamall, Shangri-la, the Podium in Ortigas; Ayala Greenbelt, Ayala Circuit in Makati; Gateway Cubao, SM North, Trinoma in QC, Eastwood Libis QC; Festival Mall in Alabang, Newport World Resorts near NAIA airport, and many more.
In PITX Aseana, you can take a bus to Tagaytay city for a Cafe with overlooking view of Taal Volcano, the smallest active Volcano in the World. Not sure if its erupting now. Enjoy your tour, be safe, Mabuhay!
There’s so many areas in metro manila that are the same
As BgC. You should check out Rockwell Center in Makati for example. Albeit a smaller district, but its more posh and snobbier than BGC 😅
I will be in Manila August 16. If you’re still there, let’s catch up for a coffee. Let me know.
Ongoing Infrastructure there is the 2 subway stations by Metro Manila Subway which is 45%-50% constructed in the whole Manila area and a planned sky trrain inside BGC connecting Guadalupe MRT Station in Makati City.....
Hope you'll enjoy your stay here in the Philippines. Welcome
This area was like a nature full of trees and bushes when BGC was constructed, thanks to the Ayala Group who converted this to this bustling metropolis inside the city of Makati then transferred to Taguig City's.
There’s literally a pedestrian lane just in front of Philplans Building, a few steps away from iHotel.
Probably he thinks he's in India or Thailand where wild monkeys can cross roads anywhere and any time.
... and decides to act like one.
You choose one of the nice cafe, they serve good food..
Thanks
Thank you so much for your contribution, means the world!! All the best my friend!
And American business brands but owned by local Filipino franchisees
If u want old looks go to intramuros day time and manila post office along pasig river its beautiful at 7pm👍❤
Never knew BGC was named after a national hero, Great vlog as always 🙌
Hi Mike! In case you plan to visit the Philippines, please do not commit the same mistake this man is doing.
BGC is not in Manila. It's in Taguig. Manila is not the only city in our country.
City of Taguig is different from the city of Manila. Both are part of the National Capital Region also known as Metropolitan Manila.
Been to BGC and you're exactly right . I felt the same NYC vibe just like you do
Love from India brother 🇮🇳😘🙏
God bless you ❤️🙏😇
There are so many business districts in Metro Manila with skyscrapers. One of these is BGC. The others are Makati, Quezon City and Pasig City..You can find these in Metro Manila.
It's always nice to see other nationality having local experiences, I hope you always felt how warm we are literally and figuratively. I love you now, I am from Palawan so I am watching your El Nido vlogs, enjoy!
So true!
Great video Myer... Just wondering how the intensity of the sun compares to Addis Abeba?
Where in the hell is Adis Ababa? 😅Not all years are hot season. In December, January and February the weather is colder 19- 29 degrees
Sun is not as intense but the humidity is incomparable
Metro Manila or simply Manila is acceptable.
Thanks for visiting the Philippines. We appreciate it.
thank you!
@@myertravels I subscribed to your channel.
"Metro Manila or simply Manila is acceptable. " -- NOT TRUE
Only the uneducated trash think this way. NCR (formerly, "Metro Manila") is a region. "Manila" is just one of many cities in it.
Stop spreading ignorance.
Yes you are correct, Taguig or BGC is part of Metro Manila
Even if BGC seem like a bubble place, it's not only the develope place in the Metro Manila. Makati City, the Rockwell, the Alabang, the Bay erea in Pasay and many more are some of the developed vicinities of the Metro. Actually, the business capital of the Philippines is Makati, and Makati is much compared to New York City because of Skyscrapers, and BGC is most likely seem to be the New York, Los Angeles and Miami without the beach combined. Don't mind those people who're saying that BGC isn't Manila, they're just jealous if their City's are not mentioned specifically, but there's nothing wrong to say it's Manila, because it's a part of the Metro Manila anyway! Thanks for patronizing Philippines, you know it's a big boost to the country's tourism!🤓
@uchniezt1212 until now they are called the NCR Metro Manila, it is much better known as Metro Manila than NCR, away with your definition, even if it's true, it won't work and it'll only be confusing to those who already know that it is the Metro Manila and what you say is the other way around, even if it doesn't. Do you think that I don't
know about that information, well, you're wrong, it's been a discussion some decades ago, but still until now it has not changed the perception of the majority, Metro Manila is here to stay despite what you call law!🤨
@@uchniezt1212 BGC Taguig ! ✅
@@rainierdy2808 You want to live in a just and orderly society but you scorn the truth and disregard your own laws?
Every time you deny the truth, you promote the LIES and ignorance of your fellow men. Think about these next time you say such things.
@mocabe01 you're so dramatic, if I say that it isn't the Metro Manila, would that make a change in my life or my fellow Filipino as well, would that make our country better, would that make a significant growth of the economy in our country? I say, leave it that way to not confuse everybody as much as the foreign tourists who are coming in. You see even the Vlogger who posts this doesn't even care about your observation!🤓
@@uchniezt1212 in school when you say it is the Metro, they won't correct you. You don't need to be dramatic about it, call it NCR or Metro Manila it won't change anything, it is not one of the things that is in the Ten Commandments. Even people of laws are calling it Metro Manila some called it NCR nevertheless, there's no objection about it, except for you!🤨😝🤣
Another Modern Area along Metro Manila is ASEANA city, Mall of Asia and the ongoing construction of Manila Bay Island expansion and construction.. in the next 4-5 yrs and beyond Metro Manila will be the next Big thing not only in Asia but in the world as well.
Welcome to Manila, The Philippines this weekend after visiting several islands in the country for the past few weeks in June of 2024❤❤❤I really LOVE this great video in great joy 2024❤❤❤
yeah i like Makati too. Streets are hella wide towers are ridiculous. both have their own flavor. and yeah you think philippines it's the beach and not thinking about this hella high tech modern place
Hi Myer welcome back ❤ ❤

I love the street trees🍃
Yea a very nice element to have in city
Have you tried Halal Guys at BGC Bonifacio High Street near 11th Ave?
Districts bigger and better than BGC are on progress along Marikina River in the souther part. You can also visit that diatricts Bridgetowne, Arcovia, Parklinks, Circulo verde.
You are right PH is a religious country, too religious we sometimes become backward thinkers so It has it's disadvantages
You practically TOURED 80% of BGC(good Walking Tour❗️Perfect Exercise❗️🏃♂️🏃❗️Good for the lungs and heart and legs🌈✅❗️🇵🇭‼️
Welcome to the Philippines and thank you for the visit. Enjoy your stay. Be safe. New subscriber.
Ya welcome to philippines and you know philippines love coffee,and here in the philippine the coffee here is 24/7 you can order if you are in your place pastry also are all delicious or bread because filipino love bread also,explore BGC and Poblacion Makati.
Try to visit ORTIGAS CENTER, ARANETA CENTER, ALABANG TOWN CENTER, ASEANA - THE CITY OF DREAMS
Same areas in Metro Manila that is similar to BGC are: Ayala Avenue area, Rockwell in Makati City; Araneta Center, North Edsa/Vertis, Eastwood in Quezon City; Ortigas Center in Pasig City/Mandaluyong, Greenhills/Wackwack in San Juan/Mandaluyong; MOA area in Pasay City. There are lots more actually in every city comprising the Metro Manila area. Metro Manila is real and is called the National Capital Region (NCR).
Visit Intramuros,the historic old walled city of Manila😊
So modern and green❤❤
Can foreigners buy property here and how much apartment cost to purchase in this area?
Next come to Cebu sadiq
New sub here. Thanks for visiting Philippines! Welcome!
Thank you! 😃 welcome
Enjoy welcoming to the Philippines
Welcome to Manila, stay safe wherever you are. You're well-informed about BGC. You must be vlogging elsewhere, can tell from your subbies ,o the road 100K 😊🎉👏👏🥳
BGC TAGUIG ! ✅
Thanks for the support!
All buildings that you see are owned by Filipino businessmen. The Philippine constitution does not allow foreigners to fully own establishments, land or companies in the Philippine soil.
Thanks for clarifying
Actually BGC started in February 7, 1995 by BLC (Bonifacio Land Corp.) partner/master planner and developer of BCDA (Bases Conversion Development Authority).
Why are you shocked???! Does that mean you have a different view of Manila in your mind?? Like poor dirty Manila? That's what westerns usually think...not only BGC has tall buildings and modern...there are Aseana city, Eastwood city, Makati city, pasay city, Rockwell, Alabang, Clark city...etc..
Always watching welcome back to the Philippine keep safe
Thank you 🙏🏽
There are a number of areas in Metro Manila that have been developed like BGC. They are ASEANA CITY, in Pasay City , EASTWOOD CITY, in Quezon City, GREENFIELD District in Mandaluyong City, FILINVEST in Alabang and ORTIGAS CBD....etc...
Brother, thank you for citing CORRECT city and location of these other wonderful areas to explore. Let's support these vloggers properly promote our country by telling them true and correct city locations and stop calling everything "Manila". It's getting quite annoying tbh...
Try also to visit the historical island of Corregidor w/c was one of the WW2 battleground where you çan see the Malinta tunnel w/c serve as a headquarter of Gen. McArthur during WW2
Advance happy 100k subscribe sir. Watching from the Philippines😊🇵🇭
I have always wondered about this observation from foreigners ---- did they think they arrived in an Asian backwater?
Welcome and enjoy
Nice . let's try it in afternoon when it's crowded
Enjoy your stay 🌈🩵👍 watching from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 🇵🇭
Wildflour is one of the trendiest and super good coffee shop. Good choice! Enjoy your stay in the Philippines!
I really enjoyed wildflour!
You are jay walking! You are suppose to cross at the crossing
even crossed the pedestrian when it was on "red light no-crossing signal'...
Correct, definitely American influence. Colonized by America after Spain.
for a glimpse of old Manila its cultural Hispanic colonial heritage, aside from Intramuros try to visit Las Casas de Azucar in Quezon City or the bigger version in Balanga city in Baraan
It was a very nice tour of BGC
The Arabica coffee shop is so nice. 👍🏻👍🏻
Certified coffee lover ☕😊
Arabica looks nice.
Definitely Arabica coffee is nice and strong, No more Starbucks coffee or McDonald's
Yum!!! Lots of varieties ❤😊😊😊
Appreciate your effort video promoting my humble country, Philippines. But pls if you do something, do it properly. It's basic human ethics.
BGC is not in Manila at all. It's in Taguig. Both cities are in NCR (formerly, "Metro Manila") but each is a city on its own.
BGC TAGUIG ✅
It could be better vidoe, if you show around instead of your face more often.
Use pedestrian lanes when crossing,just respect.
beautiful Manila,
love from Indonesia 🇮🇩
Beautiful wethere
Newly subscriber here and a follower . Hello and welcome to our country Philippines..watching from northern part Candon City Ilocos Sur. Enjoy your stay and vlogging at the same time be safe and be careful. ❤🎉good luck and have a blast.

Just remember: BGC is not in Manila. It's BGC Taguig.
BGC TAGUIG! ✅
Where is the Arabic translation?😔
Hello Myer welcome pinas again enjoy ur blog and always aware we’re you going from Calif usa ❤😻
You are in Metro Manila which is made up of 16 separate cities and one of them is Manila. Taguig and Makati are also one if these 16. If you are vlogging about the Philippines to give your viewers useful information about the country, make sure you verify your facts and not make up your own just for convenience.
Thank you. Yes, it is reasonable to expect these vloggers to verify their information before making videos. Sad, one would expect this would be common sense...
Everything is happening in Binondo, Divisoria and Quiapo Market, go there hungry and enjoy your food trip hahaha! 🏮🧢🔔
I’m glad someone sees Starbucks as what it is flavored shit.I honestly don’t understand why the Asians go to Starbucks in the Philippines,Thailand when they have cafes that make real coffee from scratch and we all know Starbucks don’t.But anyways great video by the way 😅.
It’s the worst haha
Wild Flower is my favorite Coffee Shop , lots of Danish and Cookis and Muffins ,,
So Delicious and beautiful place to relax , so modern and classy shop
The pastries are amazing
Hello Mr Myer, i have seen your vdos a lots before and i like your vdos.. But one thing I wonder why you don’t go to visit my country Cambodia.. i don’t know you have any plans to visit Cambodia or not but I hope you will… and I don’t know what you think about my country that make you don’t visit here but I’m really high recommend to visit Cambodia, once you come you will be there again I swear… You will deserve good things, people are welcome, food are good, the weather is great.. You will not regret that❤
I will definitely visit soon
WELCOME TO THE PHILIPPINES, enjoy blogging and your stay ..GOD BLESS YOU..
Thank you! 😃
As an Indian....Wow!! How clean and modern Philippines is...But how?
Philippines population=110million
GDP per capita=3500$
Combined population of Southwestern states of India Karnataka+Kerala=110million
GDP per capita=3500$
But still our state doesn't appear as developed as philipines,Why?
pH GDP/GNI PER Capita is already $4,500 based on world bank as of today..
Hence it's already an upper middle income country
BGC is a bubble business and leisure district in Taguig City. Taguig is one of the 16 cities (and 1 municipality) that comprises Greater Manila or Metro Manila.
I love BGC, so modern and clean, but Makati is my fav. Very familiar with both areas. Still so beautiful and calm there. Dates a girl there at Uptown mall some years back. Brings good memories
OMG what a beautiful place, what a wonderful world amazing BGC maniLa.😮
It really is!
Happiness!
