- It wouldn't be a trip to Metro Manila, Philippines without visiting Bonifacio Global City aka BGC. Me and @kayyywild explored this ultra modern district of Metro Manila and something very unexpected happened 😂 We then visited Market! Market! for some delicious food and ended the day at Venice Grand Canal Mall. It was an amazing day and I can really see why Filipinos love Modern Manila so much!

Hey everyone! Many of you were asking for me to visit BGC, so here we are! I hope you enjoy the video 😊 We had an absolutely amazing time there and will definitely be back in the future to explore it even more. Looking forward to seeing all of your amazing comments, I will be replying to as many as I can. Much love! 💖
next time around BGC check out MIND MUSEUM.
Welcome to BCG
Enjoy the Christmas season in the Philippines
Go to explore in Baguio as well it’s a cold place
I ❤ it
Welcome to BGC. BGC is busier during the afternoon and night time, you went too early 😀It's even more beautiful at night with all the lights.
Did you forget to check out Uptown BGC?
Kailangan natin suportahan ang mga ganitong vlogger dahil sa kanila nakikilala ang pilipinas sa buong mundo at nakaraang week lang 4 na awards ang nakuha ng bansa sa World travel awards 2023
Bakit kailangan makilala ang pilipinas? OK Yung wla masyado nakakaalam sa pilipinas. Kse pag Lahat Yan nagsi lipatan sa pilipinas Lalo magmamahal ang mga presyo sa Pinas. Wla nmn pkialam mga tao sa awards na yan

Ang makikitid ang utak ay siyang nagdudulot ng gulo at kahirapan, hindi mo siguro alam o sadiyang mangmang ka lang kung ilang pera ang nadadala nila sa pinas para gumanda ang pinas😕 itanim mo sa makitid mong utak na walang BGC, airport sa palawan, pagbabago ng bay walk at marami pang iba dahil yan sa turismo, kung hindi lumago ang turismo ay wala kang matatanggap na ayuda kasi kulang ang kikitain ng mga namamahala para ibigay sayo ang ayuda sa araw ng kalamidad at kahirapan, ang pagtaas ng presyo ng mga bilihin ay naka base yan sa inflation ng bansa na dinudulot ng pagtaas ng presyo ng langis sa world market at ibapang mga minerals na minsan dinadaya ng mga namamahala nito upang sila ay kumita😬

Para sa kaalaman mo, ang taguig ay parte ng NCR na tinatawag dating metro manila kaya pagsinabi ng dayuhan na manila ay understood na NCR yan, sa mga taga NCR na walang hilig sa balita ay talagang wala silang malalaman kundi tsismis lang, isa pa ang BGC ay nandiyan mismo sa pangalan ang Bonifacio kung alam mo ang fort Bonifacio na American base noong panahon ng gyera😕
@@mocabe01ano ba ang taguig? Db metro manila! Kaya nga national capital region. common sense naman.
Khit kilala in Nila Pilipinas kung ang politika ay magulo, kala mo di jila nkikita iyan base sa KURAPSYON ?
5:25 Benguet is where Baguio City is which is a mountain city founded by the Americans. Its cold there with so many tourist attractions. It was declared as a UNESCO creative city. From there you can aldo visit Banaue or Batad where the Rice Terraces is to be found. Its a UNESCO world heritage site too and not far is Sagada where you'll see hanging coffins and some Philippine mummies. In that region you'll find Apo Wang-od and she's a tribeswoman. She's the oldest tattoo artist in the Philippines. She was even featured in Vogue Magazines.
Hi from Indiana, Philippine born but moved to US since 1978. I’m glad you’re having a great time there. Safety pleasure and convenience are the hallmark of life in the PI if you know where to spend it and you have adequate financial means to support yourself. I was born and raised until after college in Iloilo, Panay, one of the Bisayan Islands. If you want to avoid the rat race kind of life in Manila Iloilo City is another place to explore. They have international airport there. Stay at the Smallville area. Their BCG wannabe there. You’re living the life, friend.
We are no longer called PI. We are now RP, Republic of the Philippines
I enjoyed every minute of your vlog. I live just about 5 kms from BGC but I haven't really "immersed" myself in BGC in the way that you (Josh + Tom) just did! Two thumbs up! 👍👍👌👏
Love how you interact with the locals and trying your best to speak the language. Doing a great job for someone's who's just started blogging. Keep it up mate.
It’s vital for vloggers to be a people person, you truly knows how to interact with the locals, you guys have good manners and courteous. You’ll be at 10K in no time, keep it on. Watching from San Francisco, California
Equally vital is for vloggers to correctly name their location.
BGC is not in Manila. It's in Taguig -- an entirely separate city and different from Manila.
@@mocabe01 good point..
What a breath of fresh air the BGC was! Great video ✊
Thank you, you have made my day! It feels nostalgic, and wish I’m in your seat!
Josh, looks like you and Connor had a good morning workout there in BGC! 😊 It is the most modern part of Metro Manila, and is quite high-end. BGC High Street becomes much busier in the late afternoons and evenings, when its cooler. Enjoy your tours!
We sure did! 😂 I will have to go check it out in the evening in my spare time because my camera doesn't work well in the dark 😞 Thanks for the support!
Thank you for hinting at the correct location of BGC. It's in Taguig, Metro Manila.
Manila is an entirely different city located west of Metro Manila.
Good foreigner attracts more filipino follower. Keep it up!
Thanks so much for the kind words!
This is one thing I like about your videos coz you know how to interact with the locals and your very friendly and honest of your opinion about anything you had just tried or taste. And your learning tagalog so fast good job ❤❤❤
Thank so much for the kind words Dionela! Really happy that you are enjoying the videos ❤❤
Thanks for coming in the Philippines 🇵🇭 keep safe always
Thanks for supporting! You too 😊
Actually i been to some world cities and i can say that BGC looks very similar to brickell of Miami and marina Bay, Singapore. very clean, organized, well planned and modern.
Trivia: BGC is not a real city though... it's just a business district with a fancy name. This means BGC is not part of PHL government. They do not elect their own mayor. They can't impose taxes. They don't have police nor judicial powers etc. BGC is in Taguig City (or simply "Taguig"). It is NOT in Manila as this vlogger says.
@@mocabe01They're not wrong. Manila proper is the capital, while Taguig is within Metro Manila which is the capital region.
It's the same when people say London, Tokyo, Bangkok, Paris etc, all of the other cities/districts are considered to be a part of the capital region.
@@mocabe01 Manila is Metro Manila and Metro Manila is Manila... for foreigners, let them be. Ung taga vismin nga ang tawag sa taga Luzon eh taga Maynila eh. walang Pilipinong nasasabi na luluwas ako ng Metro Manila kundi luluwas ako ng Maynila, kesehodang sa Malabon pa sya pupunta. The Vlogger is technically correct. wag kang eme.
@@criticalreader2023 No. Metro Manila is a region. Manila is just a city.
Read the papers. Listen to the news. Educate yourself.
@@dayangmarikit6860 No. Metro Manila is a region. Manila is just a city -- a SMALL city comprising only 4% of the NCR. Don't lump the rest of the 96% with that one city. They're different and separate identities.
Your always welcome here in the Philippines! Mabuhay Josh!
I'd say that some of the most authentic Japanese food in the Philippines are from (Marugame Udon) and (Botejyu). It would be great to see how they compare to Japanese food in Japan.
lovin it! loving how you are enjoyin the experience.. ❤ its 4am and im watching your vlog haha 😅you made it entertaining. keep it up! 👍
Wonderful bgc exploration there Josh! You will be more surprised what PH malls have inside for you! Can't wait for your beach vlogs soon! Oh btw, your new channel has ads already and grown so very fast! More power!👌💪🇵🇭🇬🇧
Fair play to joining the workout in that heat and humidity!! That would have finished me 😂 deffo needed a cold drink after that one 🥤
Keep them coming bro I’m loving these vids!
Nice to see you having fun, Happy Holidays to you and yours, wish for you peace love and prosperity, til next time🎄🎉🎊✌🙏
looks like a great time! i still gotta visit the place
Hello Josh 😇! We appreciate you visiting the Philippines 👍! Welcome! I hope this little advice makes sense .. as a retired filipino here in the Philippines who lived and worked for 35 years in Texas, USA, i highly recommend hanging out in safe and secured places like BGC, Makati, Ayala, Mckinley Hill, Eastwood and other safe and secured places 😇! Just be aware of the places you go to and a liitle bit of research helps 🎄! I know you're eager to document cool sights here in the Philippines 👍! As much as possible, avoid run down areas. Just like if i go back to USA and let's say i visit The Bronx, Harlem or Compton and Skid Row in California .. i might get robbed, carjacked or shot. So to be safe, i'll go to safe and secured places in the united states 👍! Enjoy your time in the Philippines!
Thanks for the amazing comment and advice peter! I will be safe but I dont like to discriminate on areas, I like to go there and make a decision for myself. I have been to quite a few "run down" areas in Philippines now and I have to say the people have been more friendly, welcoming and I have generally just had the best time there. But I understand what you are saying! I am not new to travelling so I like to think I have pretty good street smarts and don't push the limits too much. Hope you enjoy the videos!
You're welcome 🎄! Excellent answer Josh 👍😇! That's the attitude to have! You're a true explorer 👍🎄🎄🎄❤️!
@@TheJourneyofJoshwell said.
lol Philippines is relatively safe now. Mostly all the comments about philipines being unsafe are people reminiscin of how bad it used to be. but duterte changed all that and cleaned up the place. of course you'll get people sayin it's bad, but no where close to places like the ghettos ijn the US or places in South América. but of course just be aware of your surroundings and you'll be fine. don't let someone rememberin how it used to be tell you how it's like. There's also places in the south where the separatists are, so yea, if you looking for trouble, you could find them there :D
If many of them say kumusta po kayo if there is only one kumusta ka.ka means one kayo more than one.
Not used to hear “mabuhay” when greeting someone in casual conversation. Either “kumusta” or just simple hello is quite common greeting!😊
The Philippines is still developing and I cant wait when it becomes one of the most attractive countries for tourists in SEA.
You may skip the city and try visiting the North part of Luzon like La Union Beach in San Fernando La Union and the culinary capital of the Philippines which is Pampanga. Clark City is where you will find stuff like those in BGC as well. And the mountain city like Baguio City all the way to Sagada to see the famous Rice Terraces. Since you are in BGC already don't miss to visit the American Cemetery to pay tribute to the American Veterans of WW2 and the nearby Venice Canal Mall at McKinley Hill. Also Okada Manila is a must place to visit in Manila near to this place is the MOA and the new Parqal Mall.
That strawberry shake looks refreshing. This is what I like about Vloggers: You guys are open to anything fun with Filipinos. We will keep supporting you guys.
Nice watching your videos Josh.Hope your having fun in the Philippines 😇
Hi Josh, love your energy! Keep doin what you're doin coz your doin fantastic! Love ur videos! 🫰🫰🫰

You very good demeanor will certainly help you gain more subscribers. Vloggers like you contribute to the effort of the government to attract more tourists. Have fun while in the Philippines.
I love you josh 😊❤️💕
try the Stateroom of 2Go M/v Masagana vessel on your way to Cebu from Manila already with 2 beds and 3 meals included.
Hi josh, your video in bgc looks months ago because bgc now looks way better and the spirit of christmas is all over bgc/philippines. I hope you visit again this christmas time.
Yeah it was a few months ago, editing takes a long time which I don't have much of with all the filming and working 😅 I will be back in PH early next year, its hard not to spend Christmas with my family

@@TheJourneyofJosh

if your both nature lover.. you would both love to stay at Bohol ..so many beautiful beaches even in Cebu..cheaper price than manila..
more adventure ..their is also zip line there ...
In Manila u can go to OCEAN PARK....THNX..
GB!....Enjoy ..
‘KUMUSTA KA-YOU’ (than just KUNUSTA KA) is more appropriate and correct thus pleasing to hear.
KUMUSTA KA is for one person. KUMUSTA KA NA? (Very friendly approach). KUMUSTA KAYO for 2 and more. Better add "PO" (usually) at the end, as a sign of respect. KUMUSTA KA PO? KUMUSTA PO KAYO? SALAMAT (Thank You). SALAMAT PO (Thank You - Respectable). MARAMING SALAMAT PO (Thank You Very Much)
Next time, try to gp to the Ayala Triangle Gardens. Make sure to go there at night though. You won't regret it. Cheers!!!
I will not them down for next time, thank for the suggestions Joshua!
Hope ypu'll continue to stay your stay here in the Philipoines
Well,well,welcome joe😊.
I love 💕 the way you Guys join the Workouts in BGC ….. I Have Fun watching Your Videos Later Guys …. God Bless your Journey of Josh ✌️👍👍👍👍🙌👌🤗🇺🇸
Mate, Mabuhay is a word we tell foreigners to use, but it actually just gives you away.. it kinda flags you as a non-native speaker. We only use it when greeting foreigners in international contests and such. To sound that you’ve been here long…don’t use it for greeting people, just say kumusta?
BGC content of Josh! Let's Gooooo
Enjoyyy 😊
Hahahah. That looks fun and funny!
It was such a fun day haha
rogue doughnut is really gooooood
Nice modern city 😱
It's amazing! 😍

105 pesos for a donut?! That's insane!!! I would still love Dunkin for sure. By the way, Misukoshi Mall in BGC is also something you must visit if you love Japanese Brands.
It was a pretty incredible donut though.. 🤤
Thank you for sharing this video staysafe and enjoy vlogging Sir 😊❤❤😊❤😊❤❤😊❤😊❤
Thank you for watching! Hope it made you smile 😊❤
@@TheJourneyofJosh yes I am hope to see you in person ❤️❤️❤️
Good to see you enjoying Philippines!! Just wanna ask what kind of camera your using? love your videos. Smooth transition from you to the area.
Hope you enjoyed the video! I'm using GoPro Hero 11 😊
it would be crazier in BGC at night, full of colors...over crowded as well, hope you guys drop by to venice mall there
Yaz Blackpink! ❤ Only 1 is Thai the 3 girls are Koreans. There aren’t a lot of people coz it’s hot, a lot of filipinos don’t like to stay under the sun.
I picked well? 😂💖 I had no idea! Thanks for the info 😊
I superv love all your videos 🤍 watching from the PHILIPPINES🇵🇭
you should try visiting Baguio (pronounced Bag yo City) take the Genesis Bus then visit Camp John Hay, Burnham Park, Café Ruins and night market
come to iloilo in january for Dinagyang Festival
25:45 Aawww that's a topnotch bromance moment HAHAHHAH
It sure is.. Caught me by surprise hahaha
Hey Josh…. If you need medicine, you can get some at Mercury Drug.
Don’t hesitate to ask for help if you need to. Filipinos are happy when they can help.
I have not been in BGC and the little Venice there but been to Venice, Italy.
Thank you so much for taking us there. Salamat Kuya Josh! - ❤ from 🇺🇸
God bless you idol
Hi, JJosh... kumusta ka? Okay ba ang journey mo sa Manila Philippines? Hope you enjoy your stay in the Philippines. Stay safe. Ingat po.
New subscriber of yours , greeting from Istanbul , ❤
Good for you. I would suggest you unsub though.,. this vlogger has 2 big things wrong. First, BGC is not in Manila. It's Taguig -- a city by itself that's twice the size of Manila. Second, BGC was never an ex US Military base. Go find a more diligent travel vlogger. Not this one.
Checkout next time Mendokoro Ramenba, Mitsukoshi Mall, Uptown Mall Cinema and Venice Grand Canal in McKinley West BGC.
Venice Grand Canal is at the end of this video 😅
She meant it came from Baguio/Benguet which is the city/province where they grow strawberries, from the mountains up north.
Oh I see now! Maybe I need to go there myself and try them fresh 😄
Yes Next time visit Baguio City it’s 8 hrs Away from Manila ….. ✌️✌️✌️
It's only about 4 hours now.
I variety in Manila is amazing❤. Im goin in february
Hi Josh. It’s better to greet people with “good morning/afternoon. Kumusta?”
“Mabuhay” is more like cheers. “Long live, Hurray, … “
He looks like the guy from the Mergim Vlogs with the same funny personality ❤
Visit also eastwoodcity
Nice video👍 Try to visit the "Slum of Tondo Manila" I'm sure you really amaze the beauty of the place👍😆
That video is coming tomorrow 😜 stay tuned!
Wow I'm waiting for that video 👍 I'm watching from Palawan Philippines.
It would be amazing if he showed the true majority of Tondo, which isnt the slum area you want him to document.
BGC gets busy starting at about lunch time onwards during weekends. It's packed by late afternoon.
