@@denvercb2872 lol, Jolo, Sulu, Basilan are now safe, you just need to tell the authorities that you'll be going to those areas so they can escort you.
Wow! I am surprised how suddenly Gigi seemed to be more informative in the vlogs recently. I think Gigi is doing her reserch, which is good and highly appreciated, because most of the viewers like us have no idea of the culture and background of the things in the venue. Good job Gigi. 🙌🙌💞💞🙏🙏 It's funny how the famous and courageous Michael chickened out this time here because of his shirt print. Hehehe. But thanks Michael for showing respect there. 👍👍👌👌🙏🙏🙌🙌
I got surprise watching this video. It's been awhile since I've not seen you guys. I never thought you've come this far to visit our home town. WELCOME to Zamboanga City.! c",) 🌺
Wow. Zambo had improved a lot. Had to work somewhere else in 2015, so I left this city, and looking at it now, it had definitely improved. Thanks so much for featuring our beloved city!
Wonderful video again, Mike Gigi. Haha .... satay for breakfast...very interesting. Wow, that Rainbow Mosque is gorgeous...lovely and colourful. A great thank you for sharing. Safe travels and take care.
I'm excited to see if you talk to the locals about the Chavacano Spanish dialect because we are so much of English because it's our 2nd and official dialect...Hehehe...
During the spanish colonization, they design the cities that way, there's a city hall, then church and markets to monitor the movements of the people. By the way the rainbow mosque is very beautiful.
This is amazing. My husband's family is from sanbaonga city. His mom an sister worked in city hall. Me and our daughter when there in 2007 we were there for 3 months . We live in Canada. Such beautiful people and very friendly people
Masha’Allah. Michael said “In Shaa Allah” meaning ‘If God’s will”. Good every time we have plans to do, we need to trust God for everything. May God guide us all to the right path always. May God bless you both 🎉
Mi ciudad, Zamboanga ❤️❤️ My wish came true 😊 In 1 of your lives, I mentioned there that I want you to visit my beloved city, and here you are, finally 🥰,
Hahaha such a great couple very funny. I love watching your vlog u made my day very unique couple always smile in every angle ! Keep safe guys enjoy exploring! I miss my homeland! 4 yrs working overseas and finally in a few month's to wait I smell the smoke of my home!
Nice video!",.. you have tooooooooo" much food's shown us!".. only for this video!",... Very interesting!',... Lot's of food's!!",... I felt hungry" while watching you' two!"..... More Video's!",..and more Power!!",....
Interesting how you have old mapa and background research. You learn something new everyday. Zamboanga as a whole is not very famous with foreigners so locals aren't really used to seeing foreigners unlike Cebu or other tourist hot spots but hopefully tourism will open up also to other nationalities not just vloggers
Zamboanga is one of the few cities that mostly retained their Spanish colonial architecture. In the olden days most cities in the Philippines looked like that even Manila. If you read accounts of westerners that visited the Philippines in past centuries they mention how the cities are generally similar to those in South America and other Spanish colonies with some slight differences (bahay kubo/bahay bato style; more Asian influence). As for the pen thing and going to a shrine/holy place before or after exams that's largely an Asian thing and students mostly do that to important national/licensure exams. Heard students in Korea and Japan does something similar except its in their temples rather than in churches.
every third sunday of january go back to my hometown cebu city you will experince far more people in an parade its called sinulog festival its the festival of all festivals in the philippines 2024 will be more exciting for sinulog festival
The people here seem more relaxed and more friendly then other places we've visited, definitely one of my favorite cities and places i wanna come back to ☺️😁
There are 4 zamboangas on the peninsula. 1. Zamboanga del norte, capital : Dipolog. Language: Bisaya. 2.Zamboanga del sur, capital: pagadian. Language: Bisaya. 3. Zamboanga sibugay, capital: Ipil. Language: Bisaya. 4. Zamboanga City, the only chartered city and highly urbanized city on the zamboanga peninsula. Language: Chavacano.
Muslims are a minority in zamboanga city. Also in terms of land area, zc is the 3rd largest city in the philippines, you can fit two whole metro manilas and zc will still have room.
old muslim folks witnessed that miracle and they lightened candles there..because they saw what happened..i ask one very old muslim couple why they light candles at fort pilar they said they respect the miracle..
As far as i know never use ur finger when pointing to someone or things it is prohibited in Islam correct me po if im wrong sa mga kapatid na Muslim ✌️😊
I think it's more of a culture thing rather than a religious thing, but then again it's kinda hard to remember so yeah i hope people don't get offended since I'm doing it on purpose 🤷♂️😁
16:22 Watching the whole video, I just can say: People will be more friendly over all, if Mike just slows down a little bit.. He is overly fast, hectic, goes very near in the personal space of people talks nonstop at the second of approaching.. It is just too much for me, and I am an european, now lets think about how this will feel for an asian person.. Have some deep breaths every few minutes, calm down. Sorry to sound so harsh but I had to say this. It is exhausting. I felt uncomfortable in the interactions even I am not the person that had that interaction personally. But if I would be there, I think I would just say "no thanks" and continue on my way, even though I am quite communicative and supportive and helpful - and you probably following me :D but kidding aside: Just a friendly reminder if you seem to have less friendly interactions than you expect, dont always look for it on the person you encounter, but maybe also yourself. Look to your girlfriend, she is much more composed. Would be a totally different reaction. So maybe try half "energy".
That's a double edged sword man, some people prefer the freedom they have after they kicked off the spanish, some still cling to the past. In my country it's the same story bit with communism. The way I see it is: Embrace the future but don't forget your past. 😅🤷♂️
@@DodoExplorers Yes true good with the bad. The universe is full of duality. But I think a lot of beautiful things happened too between both cultures. Lots of Mexicans and Spanish want to connect again on a deeper level with Philippines, for tourism, business and all the history written in Spanish which should not be forgotten. Would hopefully make the country famous again in the future like it used to be as the Latin country of Asia. We are all friends now 😎. Keep up the good videos.
@@isaacios well in the Philippines we support LGBT community but doesn't that mean that we teach it to our young ones like the western countries do it but we against it but we accept who you are but we don't accept teaching it to younger ones unlike in the western countries
Hi Mike and Gigi, 😄.... butchering spanish language like murdering it. The rainbow mosque is like an LGBT place to worship and just like I said, you stumbled an LGBT+Q parade on the street. And please seek local assistance and info before traveling to Tawi-tawi. Me, no habla espanyol. 😉Enjoy your adventure down south!

Thanks for the virtual tour of Zamboanga,now I know how it looks like being a Baguio boy .
You're energy is still the since the day you've been here first time in the Philippines i love it 😁 Godspeed
It's directly proportional to the energy of the people around 😁
@@DodoExplorers I really wouldnt call this proportional.
Zamboanga is one of the most beautiful places in the Philippines The culture and traditions which the Philippines have
So many experiences to try out!
You mean one of the poorest
Good vibes people and good foods. Zamboanga 🫶🇵🇭. Watching from SF CA 🇺🇲 👍

The lady who is weaving is very articulate. She can be hired by the tourism department of Zamboanga to promote the culture. So amazing!
This is a great idea! She has so much knowledge, it could definitely help promoting tourism here more!
Yes I noticed also ❤❤❤❤
Wonderful video again, Mike Gigi. Haha .... satay for breakfast...very interesting. Wow, that Rainbow Mosque is gorgeous...lovely and colourful. A great thank you for sharing. Safe travels and take care.
YOU REALLY HAVE A FANTASTIC TIME IN ZAMBOANGA... ENJOY MIKE AND GIGI

Eating in the carenderia is my bucket list when i go back to the Philippines. The food is looking delicious guys!
Do you also like satti?
Yes. Plus the puso or the hanging rice!
Eating in cafe and restaurant is more practical and prudent.
@@OntoTheNextOFFICIAL oh yeah
During the spanish colonization, they design the cities that way, there's a city hall, then church and markets to monitor the movements of the people.
By the way the rainbow mosque is very beautiful.
Indeed it is, I would've loved to be able to visit it inside as well ☺️

Zamboanga City is the jumping point of Basilan Island, Jolo Sulu and Tawi Tawi etch.

You're the best!
Hola
That's the city I grew up Z.C , we speak chavacano or Latin Spanish language.
More like Spanish Creole but yeah
I was very surprised at the Pride Parade in Zamboanga. This is a muslim city so it's surprising.
Ang ganda nung city kahit midsized sya at malinis.
Stick to the facts not on your impressions
Muslims are a minority in zamboanga city. Also in terms of land area, zc is the 3rd largest city in the philippines, you can fit two whole metro manilas and zc will still have room.
This isn't a Muslim City the Majority here is very Mixed but so many Christian here
And also Zamboanga City isn't under the Bangsa Moro Region so this isn't a Muslim City but Mixed

31:40 Maybe the only city with such a big muslim population, where this is possible.. Imagine a pride parade in middle east 💀
Muslims are a minority in zc.. Also muslims there are very liberal, they are very accepting of gays and lesbians
We lived in a peaceful country and LGBT are very respectful here they never insult about the religion unlike in the west
@@unknownph537True because we LGBT here are normal and not like the West it’s just too crazy there

Zamboanga is one of Malay city in Philippines. Not latin
Nope that's the Old name of Zamboanga City it's called Jambongan and Zamboanga City it's called the Asias Latin City btw I'm from Zamboanga City
the old name is samboangan..it was written in the city hall...I'm a pure zambongueño i was born there..my parents are pure zamboangueños...
7:22 astagrullah Why this Masjid Has rainbow
Well it's just a color and isn't about LGBT and it's been there for a long time and no pride month during that time
@@unknownph537 I thought they support LGBTQ
Did you know rainbows occur naturally 🤦♂️ Why would a masjid support it??? Let’s use our brains

Satti
30:00 onwards i see a lot of gay there hehehe
One of the poorest cities in the philippines.
Lgbtqia+++ when i visit there is a little bit annoying and racist bac then😢
One of the most poluted city around the world.
factually incorrect
Stay away from this TOXIC city.
