42 yrs old. From Glasgow, Scotland. Been in the Phils. 3x in the past. Love the place and people. Looking for the possibility to live there for good.
Woohoo! Shoutout to Glasgow! I hope you find your perfect place to live in the Philippines ✈️
its more fun in the pHilippines
The Philippines always welcomes you!!
me too.
don't look for girls in a bar to marry... go to the province. I know filipino psyche..if you a red flag o her leave..
Philippines, I was stationed at Clark Air Base, Philippines 🇵🇭 back in 1991.(Angeles). I was age 28. The American Base was great. Philippines with the mastery of English helps countries like United Kingdom 🇬🇧 and America 🇺🇸. Planning to return and retire in the Philippines 🇵🇭 next year 2025. Great video. Thank you.
Wow what a place to retire! Living in paradise! Thank you so much for watching & commenting 🙌😁💖
Thank you! The Filipinos Love America and the American people :) ❤
Wow. 1991 was the year the Bases left. And, prior to that was the Mt. Pinatubo Eruption that changed landscape and global temperature. It is now a good trekking attraction, with a previously non-existent crater that turned into a lake . Hope you get to visit too.
Phils is not anymore as it was way back 1991
❤❤❤❤
Philippines is the most diverse. From modern tall structures and buildings, to the best powder white sand beaches and majestic mountains and lakes and volcanoes
Absolutely! It has everything including delicious food! I wasn't expecting much from the cuisine because we don't hear much about it over here in Europe but I was pleasantly surprised. I LOVED all the food we tried! 💖🙌🥰
@@LaurenCotteryah so underrated, they did'nt know we have 7k + islands and 82 provinces each has its own signature dishes, you just have to explore discover . Welcome and enjoy!
@@jesscatangay9384 I knew it was big but it's blowing my mind that it would take a lifetime to visit every island and try every dish. I already know I need to come back again. I'll barely scratch the surface on my tip cause it's huge 😂😂🙌🙌
Overproud napag iwanan na nga tayo sa mga ibang bansa dahil sa mga kurap na yan
And beatiful and clean rivers and waterfalls
You are VERY WELCOME IN THE PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭 AND MABUHAY.
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
MS . LAUREN COTTER , WELCOME HERE IN PHILIPPINES . 👋👋👋🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭👏👍✌️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for the warm welcome!! 🥹💖🙌🫶😁
Love the Philippines 🇵🇭 So much variety of things to do. Big part of my life and I was just there last month for a month!
Great country! Best part are the wonderful people! From the north such as Sagada, Baguio, big cities like Manila and Cebu, Palawan and all the beautiful islands ❤
Explore 👍
Ohh wow a whole month! I wish we had we spent the full month there cause we just scratched the surface during our 10 days, but I guess it's an excuse to return again and again. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
It's summer now in 🇵🇭, bring umbrella if you go outside..
That's a great tip! I need an umbrella to keep my Irish skin in the shade before I melt away haha! 😁🫶
I like the editting, the music, the research and energy that you on these videos. Welcome to the Philippines! Let's GO! 👍
Awww that's so kind of you to say. Thank you so much 🫶😁💖🙌
I Saw a Happy Woman Today
Someone Who Was Vibrant With Life. She Was On You Tube, and She Was So Luminous With Vitality That She Seemed To Leap Right Off The Screen.

Other locations for Spanish influence in Philippines is Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar and Vigan. Las Casas is superb.
Yeah I wasn't expecting such a strong Spanish Influence! Thank you so much for the tips 🙌🥰
Let’s Go and Discover the Philippines.
Let's goooooooooo 💖🥰🙌🇵🇭🇵🇭
Thailand n Malaysia are both trying to discourage tourists to come to the Philippines for so many years. We dont know why they r like that in the past, tourists usually just bypass the Philippines because of the negative bogus statements by our so called neighbors of which the philippines hasnot done anything to them but thanks to TH-cam n many local n foreign vloggers now many people has finally discovered the Philippines. You are most welcome to my beautiful country. In any country there will always be the bad seeds, bad neighborhoods etc so always do ur proper research n dont hesitate to ask the locals coz we speak english n we love to help anybody that needs assistance. We will not speak ill of our neighbors coz you n other tourists if u give us a chance we will prove every negative sayers wrong
This is so true, when people claim an entire city is 'rough or dirty' I think there's always going to be parts of any large city which are dirty & rough, but you shouldn't write off an entire place for that. The people in Manila were SOOOO kind, friendly and helpful everywhere we went. So many people asked us if we were tourists, where we're from and then welcomed us to their country. That's what makes a great place! The people! 🥰💖😁🫶
The city is very dirty and the corruption is insane and the economy is trash pretty much
Actually Manila is behind Thailand and Malaysia but because of BGC and other new developments in Manila, it's becoming attractive and deserves a second look.
New Intramurus, New Rizal Park and Roxas Blvd. , Pasig River esplanade, BGC, Okada, Newport city, new Ayala Triangle, Aseana City, etc. and many more coming like the Horizon Manila Reclamation project but Marcos foolishly STOPPED it for greedy reasons or conflict of interest. 😊
Thailand is decades ahead of the Philippines. The Philippines has some nice places but most foriengers only show the nice places and don't show 99% of what the phillpines is. They so rude compared to other countries I have been to. If they are nice to you it's usually fake. The rental cost of Condos is actually awful. Thailand has cheaper places that at twice the size and quality.
@@lightner6924Philippines is beautiful. It has lots of CBDs and has the best CBD in the whole world. It's number 11 in the list of most number of skyscrapers and highest in all of SouthEast Asia. Are you addict? 😊
Thank you for visiting my country! I've been living in the US for 22 years now more than I've lived in the Philippines but it will always have a place in my heart.
Thank you so much for the warm welcome! 🙌🥰🫶 I can see why a piece of your heart stays in the Philippines. It's a paradise!

Thanks so much! 💖💖💖
I saw this video on my TH-cam feeds and I had to check it out. And now I'm a new subscriber to your channel. :)
Don't believe her though. NO ONE here calls the region simply as "Manila". Always, the region is "METRO MANILA" while "Manila" is just one of many cities in it. You will offend local political loyalties here for calling absolutely everything "Manila" just because you are walking on concrete.
Thought you were Andrew/tristan tate lol.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate the support & sub 🙌💖😁

Very energetic, enjoy your holiday 😊😊😊

@LaurenCotter oh, and it's really warm here about this time of the year. Sweltering heat I should say. But, at least, it won't rain on your parade. The wet season comes in two months.
@@chitocucio4573 hahaha that's true! No raining on my Filipino adventure! Let's gooo! 😎😎☀☀
I just love your energy! It's really pure joy seeing tourists exploring and enjoying Manila since most exclude the Philippine capital in their itineraries and instead immediately go to the islands and beaches. I would say you guys are now my most favorite travel vloggers out there. Enjoy, have fun and I will be looking forward to more of your travel and adventures. Mabuhay! ❤
Awww you’re so kind 🥹🥹🥹 Thank you so much 🫶🏼🇵🇭🙌🏼❤️
loved the video...u put in the effort... great research too!
GREAT RESEARCH ?! Saying "metro manila" and "manila" are the same thing is "great research" ?
Thanks so much, really appreciate the kind words 🫶🙌💖
Beautiful Philippines

Your video is class, it’s well put together the history. It’s eye opening to see the diversity of taking risk from facts of struggles. I should go see darndale what to offer 😅 🔪
Thanks so much for watching 🫶🏼🇵🇭
Class ? What is "class" about falsely claiming that "metro Manila" (NCR) and "manila" are the same thing? No one calls the region simply as Manila. NO ONE. Stop smiling at foreigners calling EVERYTHING manila promoting ig norance about your country.
Wow! Those are amazing places you showed to us! That mall is gorgeous!
Thank you! Yes, that mall was sooo impressive! 🇵🇭🇵🇭
Enjoy your vacation in the Philippines ❤ I can't wait for your reaction with the beaches. Welcome to the Philippines 🇵🇭

Manila is pretty big, and the negative comments about the city are targeted towards very specific unsafe neighborhoods, I don't know why people started generalizing the *entire* city all of a sudden. I think the one thing that the entire Manila has in common is the bad traffic, but other than that, it's a diverse city that offers literally everything. not everything is bad, not everything is horrible, not everywhere is unsafe
Exactly, I agree. I don't think it's fair to generalise a whole city. Bangkok also had terrible traffic but I still loved the city. Gotta take the good with the bad 😁💖💖🙌
Eh... Manila is not really a big city. Manila is just 4% of the NCR. Taguig is 2x as big. But the biggest city in NCR is Quezon City around 7x as big as Manila I think. This is because historically around 1950's(?) they wanted to transfer the country's capital from Manila to Quezon City due to congestion. Did not work though...
@@uchniezt1212metropolitan is a mother city and so it is still a city.
@@miks669 Does "Metro Manila" elect its own mayor? No ? I thought so.
@@uchniezt1212 so is that what you define a city? MM is considered as Mega City. Tokyo Metropolis has several cities and does not even have Mayor so it is not considered as City? I don’t think so.

Metro mnila is compost of 16 cities
Okay WOW! I knew it was big but didn't know it's made up of 16 cities! That's HUGE! 🙌
and the City of Manila is a part of the 16 cities of Metro Manila, so when you go out of the city, you refer it as Metro Manila, the city your apartment is, is in Taguig another city of Metro Manila, enjoy your trip❤
Metro Manila is simply called Manila by locals and foriegners some locals doesnt know that during Spanish colonization the whole present day Metro Manila is a province of Manila mid 1700s to 1901.
I'm watching enjoy have fun Philippines are very islands Filipino mostly friendly
Thank you so much! 🥰💖🙌🫶🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Wow same hotel we checked in last year!❤️✌️enjoy your stay
Haha no way! Small world! Thanks so much 🫶😁💖🙌
Manila is the capital of the Philippines, it was a city. When you say Metro Manila, it consist of 16 cities including Manila
Ahhhh I see! My bad, thanks for correcting me 😁🙌
Thank you po, kabayan! It pleases my patriotic heart when I see more Filipinos promoting the truth about our geography. Let's stop tolerating these foreigners from assuming everything here is manila. We have a right to expect that they will do some research about our geography when they come here. That's traveler etiquette. Indeed, "Metro Manila" is a region. "Manila" is just one of many cities in it. In fact, even "Metro Manila" is already obsolete (or at least it should have been). It was renamed to NCR way back 1978 precisely to distinguish Manila from the other equally valid cities in the region.
I don't care. If I hear Manila, for me it's Metro Manila. Period. 😊
@@JoeyZee-vs4kr Remember when it's your turn to fall victim to lies and and others will say to you too, "I don't care". You want to live in a just and orderly society but you will not do your share to make that happen? Deplorable how alien the phrase "social responsibility" must be for you.
@@mocabe01 both of you just want to look smart when EVERYONE KNOWS that when vloggers talks of Manila, they mean Metro Manila. Do you guys nothing to think about except disturbing the vloggers? 😊
You came in summer not comfortable 😢😅
Yeah it was soooo hot & humid but thankfully everywhere has AC unlike London 😂🙌
@@LaurenCotterit's better than coming to a rainy season. This is the perfect time to go to the islands.
@@espiyaako YES 10000% agree! I'll take the heat over the rain anyday 😂😂🙌🙌
Summer is sooooo much better than rain and typhoon season!

When they say, don't go to Manila, they are partly right. Metro Manila is NOT Manila City. You were in Taguig city, which IS NOT Manila City. Though, saying there's nothing to do in Manila is quite overreaching. There's a lot of places to go to in Manila City. You've got Intramuros, which is a day-trip on itself if you want to immerse on its rich history. Arroceros park, if you want to be in an urban jungle. You can also enjoy the slices of life in Quiapo, the food in Binondo. Of course, like any major rising metropolitans, Manila city has a poor air quality, and has a lot of poverty issues, but then again, if you don't want to be a victim of crime, just like in any other places, then don't show off your expensive stuff. Just leave those in your hotel.
Agree, just like any major city you have to know which parts to visit for a safe enjoyable trip. Thanks for watching 🙌💖🫶
enjoy your stay in the Philippines!
Thank you, Ken. It makes me very happy when more Filipinos like you promote the truth about our country. Please all of us Filipinos, let us stop tolerating these foreigners from calling everything manila. We have a right to expect that they will do ample research about our geography when coming here. That's respect!
@@mocabe01 Amen, bro!
@@mocabe01 Uhm, they'd still have the right to criticize our country. After all, we're not perfect. Just like any country, we have our best parts, and we also have our hideous part. And that's something we need to work on. We have an alarming rate of poverty in the Philippines. We also have a very high crime rate, and that's not just Manila alone. What we don't tolerate is poverty porn, and also, we need to remove to mindset of excusing crime because of poverty. Truth be told, we have a lot of job potentials in the Philippines, though there are also missed opportunities because a lot of people won't invest on themselves and improve their plight. Hence, those foreign detractors have also the right to criticize us. Let those be a welcome call for us.
Awesome vlog around Manila. Love it!👍🏼❤️
Thank you 😁 so kind of you to say! 💖😁🙌🫶🇵🇭
First time to watch your vlog. I love how talkative she is. 😂
Hahahah I don't shut up! 😂🙌 Thanks so much for the support 💖💖💖
Wow, thank you for doing your research about the Philippines. Stay safe, but have fun
Thanks so much and we will do 🥰💖🙌🫶🇵🇭
We do not conflate Metro Manila and Manila so the first part is wrong. The region is always Metro Manila. We don't shorten it at all. That's just lazy talk.
Try authentic filipino food in carenderia
Thank you for the tip! 🫶🏼🇵🇭
Manila is very boring. No good attractions at all except BGC
Really? We had so much more we wanted to see & do but ran out of time 😭

No thanks for spreading ignorance about PHL though.
"Metro Manila" and "Manila" are NOT the same thing.
Of course, thanks for being soooo hospital and warm to us tourists 💖💖🙌🙌
@mocabe01 it's a simple misunderstanding. I was told that the locals call it 'Manila' but if that's no the case then fair enough. 🤷♀️

@@LaurenCotter "Love the Philippines" -- but you can't even do ample research about it? "Metro Manila" and "Manila" are not the same. Metro Manila is a region.

It was renamed to NCR way back 1978 precisely to distinguish that tiny city Manila from the rest of the equally valid cities in the region. NO ONE calls the region simply as Manila. No one.

The edit obviously was great! The topic and transitions are smooth. Enjoy your stay guys.
The first info is blatantly wrong though. "Metro Manila" (formally, the NCR) is a region. "Manila" is just one of many cities in it. They are NOT the same thing. Puh-leez... Manila is a mere 4% of the NCR. Bear that in mind before licking the boots of foreigner videos like this.
Thanks so much for your kind words & support 🫶🙌😁💖
@mocabe01 dude why are you so pressed about this? It was an honest mistake, I don't think complimenting my editing is 'licking the boots' of me. I appreciate the kind words from my Filipino audience.
@@LaurenCotter Mmm... because I love my country ? And I am very displeased that some foreigners are so entitled they think they can just come in any country and behave in any way they want ? Were you not taught the traveler etiquette "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" wherein you are expected to do research about the country you are visiting so you will behave properly (including speech) when you get there ?
Whoever told you that nonsense at the start of your video clearly does not listen to the news, nor reads our papers, nor has paid any attention to any formal document he is holding. NO ONE calls the region simply as "manila'. NO ONE.
I enjoyed watching ur short trip to Manila. Gave me good vibes. Lots more to explore !
Thanks so much 🇵🇭🫶🏼❤️🙌🏼🥰

Came across your TH-cam and impressed me with this content. I subscribed. I’m glad you didn’t listen to the other vloggers to skip Manila. It is in Manila where I’ve tasted different cuisines with Filipino twist and it’s probably the best that I’ve tasted.
Personally, I don’t go to food courts and street foods. Fine dining cuisines are still affordable.
Enjoy!
Thanks for the sub and all the support, I really appreciate it 🙌🥰🫶
Also yes Filipino food for the win! It's so tasty!
A warm welcome to you in the Philippines and enjoy your holiday. Mabuhay!
