Security guards are not solely for security purpose in the Philippines. They also serve as doormen, valet, outdoor reception/information desk, etc. And if you don't like using Google Maps, they can easily point you to the right direction.
Metro Manila have several CBDs similar to BGC and here are the list: BGC Makati CBD Rockwell, Makati Ortigas CBD Greenfield District Greenhills Capitol Commons Madrigal Business Park Fil-invest City Aseana City Bay City Entertainment City Eastwood City Eton Centris Araneta City Park links Arca South and alot more underconstruction aside from Binondo and Malate Business Districts for the Philippines is experiencing an economic boom being one of the fastest growing economy in the world
I suggest you go to Eastwood City, Rockwell, ASEANA City (around Mall of Asia and you can check out Okada Manila there as well) , Alabang Filinvest area,
About that black wall where people find it interesting to shoot photos of themselves, my theory is that the black wall is a good backdrop to showcase their ATTIRE for the day or Outfit of the Day (OOTD) which is popular in Instagram 😊

Thank you for your awesome and thoughtful comment! Really appreciate the support and feedback. I will hopefully get better as I continue to make these videos. Glad you have enjoyed them and thanks again! ❤
Explore more of Makati. It's nice in a low-key way. Walk from the Salcedo Market to Washington Sycip Park then to Greenbelt. You can take elevated walkways most of the way
Sir try the peach mango pie and the chickens are very good too. Try going to Goldilocks or Aristocrat or Kamayan restaurants or any buffet restaurants.
Sir, I recommend going to Cebu for the biggest festival in the Philippines - SINULOG FESTIVAL 2024, it is happening right now and the grand battle will be on the 20th or 21st. Enjoy! 💃🕺
Security Guards as well as Barangay Tanods are Informers of both PNP & AFP and they are all equipped with CCTVs for the National Security of the whole Philippines 🎉
Tondo is a district located in Manila, Philippines. It is the largest, in terms of area and population, of Manila's sixteen districts,[2] with a census-estimated 654,220 people in 2020. It consists of two congressional districts. It is also the second most densely populated district in the city. BGC...Bonifacio Global City was named after Andrés Bonifacio y de Castro who was born on November 30, 1863, in Tondo, Manila...The Father of the Philippine Revolution.
Thanks for the info! Will need to check Tondo out. My Grab driver was telling me yesterday BGC was built by the Ayala family. Apparently they are a big deal in Manila.
Tondo is just a small street in Manila and it doesn’t represent the whole Manila. People are just pinpointing the slums of each country and thinks that is there real image lol

That part of Manila looks way better and clean compared to US major cities.
I’d agree, most parts of the UK also!

security guards are normal in the Philippines, it's a standard, so no matter where you go you'll see them.

The best time to visit BGC is at night time: or from 5 PM onward.
Yeah I think so, good when it livens up a bit. Cheers
