Awesome vlog. I really like it when you cover other places in the Philippines that no other vloggers covers. Keep it up my friend. Looking forward to your next vlog.👍🏼❤️
I’m from Antipolo. Hope you had a good time visiting our humble city. Likewise, thank you for being so warm and nice to the people. More power to your channel! Cheers!
The Weather is Pretty cool up there specially in Tanay you can go hiking not A lot of foreign vloggers visit Tanay. There are Coffee Shops there with spectacular view specially along Marilaque Highway in Sampaloc Tanay.
Congratulations! You just witnessed for the first time a filipino style wedding. Fun fact- the grooms top (or majority of what the men were wearing) is called a barong tagalog. And the fans that everybody was using is called an "anahaw" fan made from the anahaw leaves
Mergim The Mother Mary of Antipolo was called Our Lady of good voyage she was the patron saint of travellers .Also In our earlier years.we use to conduct Pilgrimage there We are coming from Paranaque to Antipolo cathedral by just walking.
Its always fun to do 'alay lakad'. It might be the reason why I am so used to walking and cycling till now. But doing the whole thing from Quiapo to Antipolo is something I'll never do again(perhaps with friends.).
Mergim, you can't leave the PH without purchasing a "Barong Tagalog" (the formal shirt you saw at the church that the men wore), and a custom made leather formal shoes from a store in Marikina ( shoe capital of the PH ) This basically means you are an honorary Filipino.
Consider visiting Art Sector Gallery and Chimney Cafe 360, Eastridge Ave, Binangonan, Rizal. Great sunset views over Manila & some interesting art. Haven't seen this location included in any vlogs. This is where I spent my last evening in the Philippines in Feb 2020 with my future wife. A special place for us. Also Regina Rica is well worth a visit. 🇵🇭❤️
Hi Mergim👋 Having goosebumps while watching this vlog especially when you explained about Mama Mary and the construction of the church, thnx for informing us that She's the Black Madonna, and the origin of the name Antipolo.We just used to call her Our Lady of Antipolo. Very informative vlogs, thnx🤗🥰👍tcare, stay safe
Mergim, try to drive and visit Sumulong highway. There's a lot of restaurant and cafe around the area with overlooking views of the Metro. Make sure you stay until sunset.
Mergim - Dang. I really want to see Art in Antipolo. Anyway, the wedding scene was lovely. Lastly, could it be possible you are being mistaken for Benedict Cumberbatch on his day off?
when Spain conquered us there was trade between Mexico and Manila, it was a big commerce at that time that even the King of Spain deeclared Manila and Mexico be sister city. It was the galleon trade that brought the image of Our Laqdy andthe Black Nazarene of Quiapo to Man8ila.It wasthe wood used to carve that made both imagesw blac that is one theory the other is that it was based to the skin tones of some mexicans.Bothe images were first installed in Intramuros then they transferred it to Quiapo andAntipolo.
there's a big part of antipolo called cogeo. it's west of that place you went to. going there, you will find a big big robinson's mall. when you reach cogeo or masinag, there are two big malls, sm masinag and ayala mall. and the last station of lrt2 whcich comes from divisoria area ends in masinag, cogeo, antipolo also.
Since u're in the antipolo area, might as well go the number one tourist attraction there which is Masungi Georeserve. Make sure u call them first and make a reservation.
I really love this vlog when you visit Antipolo my birthplace. It's been 9 years since the last time I visit Antipolo. My memory Thier came back when I watch your vlog ty.
My hometown ❤️ thank you for visiting. I miss travelling on random days and visiting cafes in Rizal 🛵😊 Let’s ride to Marilaque (Tanay) i’d like to show you around 😊
bro i recently found you and have been binging your vids with family! just here to say love the edits like that 7/11 Starbucks one lol. Idk if you'll go back to Bantayan but they also have a church there and on the northern part of the island there is a fort. Keep up the vids bro and hope to run into one day if I come back on vacation lol
Up to this time, some people from Metro Manila, during Holy Week, make a pilgrimage there, by just walking up to Antipolo Cathedral, mostly on the evening of Maundy Thursday reaching the church before midnight. Some people here are already suggesting you go to Masungi Georeserve which I have not been to, and wish you cover it. I believe it is in Baras, another town of Rizal province. Another one is the Daranak falls in Tanay, Rizal which I have been to twice already years/decades ago and totally different now. There are many sites to see in Rizal province.
I only follow few foreign vloggers because of the uniqueness of their content and their dedication on promoting the PH . I'm actually with Mergim already from that sentiment video of going here to PH til now! Congrats for reaching 50k+. You're my idol!!! My mom actually is in the UK but i prefer to stay here in PH☺️ Just like Mergim.:: let's also follow and support Filipino Boo, Dr Laway and Tater's travel which I believe are showing the sincerity of staying here in PH
Did you know that the Lady, Mama Mary comes all the way from Mexico? She's is known here as The Lady of Peace and Good Voyage. Maybe say a little prayer for voyagers like you?
Good day melgrem,many Pilgrimage all over the country visit antipolo in the month of may, and then going to hinulugan taktak... keep safe and good health 💖 GOD ❤️🙏 BLESS 💓
Just a friendly reminder....It's Filipino / Hispanic tradition to remove head cover (cap/ hat..etc) for men when entering Catholic churches-a sign of respect. 😉
@@waynejensen4224 Maybe he's not aware..but he's not being disrespectful. Many Westerners are polite and respectful, some are not, but Mergim is totally respectful person, well at least from the vlog.
Mergim, after the wedding is the reception either done in a hotel or a private venue. You should have attended the wedding, just show the videos you took during the wedding. Lol....you know what, you can be a wedding videographer coz your editing is fantastic
There's actually a bigger mall than Victory Mall (the one you entered to) it's called Robinson's Antipolo and it's just behind the tree you talked about earlier. If you wanna know how big is it, take your local Walmart store, and double the size of it. Maybe even 3 times. That's how big it is. They have 2 movie theaters, a department store, a gaming zone, appliances store, toys r us, they even have Popeyes inside of the mall, which is a pretty rare fast food chain in the Philippines.
7:26 there's a vlogger too he repairing phones in camera and posting it in TikTok I think he got hundred thousand followers overall thanks for coming in Antipolo where I lived now❤
I’m a bit emotional watching the Antipolo Cathedral for it was the last place visited by my 80-year old aunt who passed away last week. It was a family tradition attending mass there at least once a year, and having been locked down in two years, coming up there last summer was her one fervent wish. And, it was wish granted with the parish priest even allowing her to go and see Our Lady up close and personnel in her inner chambers.
He did. For 2 years I think. And his views were so low, they weren’t appreciated. He actually did more editing in those videos, less raw vlogs. They (viewers) seem to prefer temporary travelers. If I recall, before he visited here he had around EITHER 7k+ subscribers or 70k+ views total. He found more appreciation here.
i've never watched a foreign vlogger do a video on antipolo. you are the first or perhaps the only, i guess. you bring unique content unlike the "usual" places covered by other vloggers. thanks

Awesome vlog. I really like it when you cover other places in the Philippines that no other vloggers covers. Keep it up my friend. Looking forward to your next vlog.👍🏼❤️
You are the best virtual tour guide Mergim. You deserve to be interviewed on TV. DOT should make you a tourism ambassador.

I got my car blessed at that cathedral 😁🚗. Another original vlog 👍

OMG you visited my City. Hope you can go back to near places like Tanay, and other places in Rizal.

You got guts driving that bike ! Stay alert.
The last time as was there was in 1969 and at that time we called it excursion to Antipolo. The place had changed a lot.
Antipolo church called Our Lady of Good Voyage. Most traveller often visit.
Sneak in to the marriage function hah😁

I hope you climb the white Cross, where the Virgin Mary where find when it disappear at the altar of the church
MERGIM BEFORE ANTIPOLO ITS LIKE AJUNGLE PLACE. BUT NOW ITS MORE AND MORE DEVELOP
Try out a ride along Marilaque Highway, now that you’ve ventured into Rizal.
