    You made the right decision to move here in the Philippines and create content about our country. Filipinos want an authentic blogger whose aim is simply not to gain subscribers but to truly immerse himself in the culture and promote it to the world. I had a great time last week in London and Edinburgh, and your country is fantastic. I wish i have the time to blog about it but it takes dedication to create and maintain a channel. The production value of your content is actually so much better than most of the new bloggers in the Philippines.

    Manila/Binondo/Quiapo is who we are. BGC/Makati is who we want to be. But the old area, as you said, has more history and character. Welcome to the full experience of the Metro. Quezon City up north and Alabang down south have different vibes too.

    I worked in BGC for a couple of years and my office was just a few steps away from High Street. Being there really feels like a different world, an ideal place to live in.
    Anyway, I hope you can explore Luzon first before you go to the more popular destinations like Palawan, Cebu, and Boracay.
    You can visit the historical places of Laoag and Vigan, the beautiful Philippine houses at Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar and Mt. Samat in Bataan, the rich underwater world of Anilao and Puerto Galera, the ruins of Corregidor, the Banaue Rice Terraces, the Hanging Coffins of Sagada, the Hundred Islands in Pangasinan, the beautiful Batanes islands, and the country's summer capital, Baguio, to name a few.
    Take care and enjoy the Philippines.

    BGC used to be a part of a huge military base that got converted. It's also a Central Business District like Makati but the difference lies in the development of the area lies on the philosophy of making it green and breathable (that's why buildings are generally detached from each other. Other places with the same concept, you'll find in Rockwell, Makati, the areas around MOA, Northport near the Terminal 3 Airport and , under development, Clark Pampanga. It's high end and 1 bedroom condos cost anywhere from 25 to 30k per month to rent.

    Nice channel Mergim! I like that you check facts and inform to, ot just filming. I been to Philippines alltogether for 6 months. Now in june I will go again. I really like that you gave the kids food to. I been to Philippines 2 times, 3 months both time. I LOVE Philippines and the people.....they are nice helpful and kind and with humor. It is easy to make friends in the Philippines. I also run a relief business, NGO, on a small scale. Helps street children, students and poor families. That's why I was extra happy when you bought the food for the children. Greetings from Sweden! I subscribed of course!

Kalinga tribal artist, and see for yourself the world reknown Rice Terraces. Going back to Manila, pass by PAMPANGA, the culinary capital of the Philippines, and the emerging CLARK NEW CITY. Not to forget a few hours away from Manila are the City of BATANGAS and TAGAYTAY (Ta-guy-thai) and the TAAL Lake (a lake within a lake), have a taste of the popular BULALO soup. Going way down to the south of Luzon, see the Majestic Mount Mayon, known for its almost perfect cone shape. And from there, schedule your island hopping trips to the Visayas and Mindanao regions. Good Luck, Stay Safe and Enjoy. It's more fun in the Philippines.

      i do like it as well that he's exploring more of the city first before going to provinces or beautiful islands. There's a lot more to explore here in the metro. Maybe some of the vloggers have a very limited time to stay here , that is why they will just cover a small portion of Manila or Binondo then jump to the islands already. Good thing that Mergim is covering those first then probably go to the islands after.
      Good thing is his vlog, that there are lot of Filipinos in those provinces (wherein in vice versa) that wanted to visit Manila but no idea on which places to go first! Kudos to that Mergim!
