Ako ni
I'm emelyn Villamor also. But I never meet the family ot my father
@@emelynvillamor5051 who was your parents?
14:51 - that moment when the kid in white shirt pulled her hand to bow down and with a gesture of touching his forehead, is actually a Filipino way of showing respect to elders and at the same time the kid asks for blessings. That gesture of showing respect is called "Mano", younger members of the family often exhibit this gesture of respect to elders, not necessarily to old relatives, but to anyone who is older than them.
Bianca was actually hard on herself for not doing it herself, with all the emotions she forgot to do it herself.
@@BiancaBeyond pretty sure seeing her, meeting them, and bianca giving hugs is more than enough. this is beautiful!
Wow what a great blessing from God.
Mano a great respect for the elders. I'm glad it is still alive.
@@BiancaBeyond Just for clarification and additional information, you dont do "mano" to your elder sister or brother, or cousins, just to your mother or father, aunts/uncles, grand mothers and grand fathers, just like the kid did in white shirt which happens to be her nephew, new subscriber here, take care to the both of you, not just there in tondo but everywhere you go..🙂
BIanca, we are so happy for you. Connecting with your relatives must be so heart warming. Your difficult search in Tondo for your relatives demonstrate your good heart. You two are special. Mabuhay.
This is heartwarming in all its simplicity... I don't know why I was shedding tears as I watch your story progress. Bianca's words about the rain is really defining; most Filipinos actually believe that rains happening at a most critical time or event in your life is a "blessing from heavens". Certainly, this was a happy ending. God Bless you both and the nice people of Tondo.
Im a believer of this too
And bad singing of karaoke
I love that the young man was trying to get your blessing by taking your hand and placing it on his forehead (It is a sign of respect in our culture. The younger person would say "Mano po" and the older person gives his/her hand.) I couldn't help but giggle a bit when you got surprised and probably thought he would actually kiss your hand. 😁💗 You have well-mannered nephews and nieces! Such a beautiful journey. Rain is indeed a sign of God's blessing! If it had not rained, you would not have taken shelter at the housing office and from there you found more and more people to help you find your relatives. Awesome! 👍
I agree it was truly Magical
Tamsak n dikit is done pasukli nalang please from May2
I love the way she left her slippers outside it's a very filipino way. We're glad that you find your filipino family. New subs here. God bless from the Philippines welcome home 🙏🏻❤️
I guess ate has been raised the "filipino way" 😅
A very touching moment for you and much more to your wife, Bianca.
It is a human nature to get in touch to his or her roots or ancestors.
God Bless you
it is a very nice and hearty feeling for the girl who made an effort to find her roots. there are people who are ashamed of themselves about where they came from. the girl is a real human being.
Good job you guys! And so happy for Bianca to locate her relatives in this chaotic place in Manila. Yes Tondo has that reputation in Manila. But it seemed that people you met along are all so friendly. Love it! Good you had a smooth journey. Meeting relatives for the first time in a foreign country is indeed a heartwarming moment. Love this.
Most of the people there are friendly. Just don't get in their bad side
Just like in any notorious hood in the US, there are a LOT of good people too living in the hood.
ALL COUNTRIES HAS THEIR OWN " CHAOTIC PLACES " NOT ONLY HERE IN THE PHIL. !!!
AS STATED BY "STELA D."
What beautiful people the Filipino’s are, the uncle without reservation on meeting you before says “ come in “ . Says it all does it or not ..bless the Philippines. 🙏
Wow! Looks like there was a positive, synchronous energy at work here that led to Bianca finding not only the house where her mom lived in, but her relatives as well. And it all began with you guys having a subscriber giving you a ride and assisting you. That hard rain was the defining serendipitous moment as you just so happened to find shelter at the local housing authority that had info about the residents in the area! What synchronicity and serendipity! BTW, I felt a twinge of emotion when Bianca first excitedly saw the house. Stay safe and rock on! Cheers!
Our thoughts exactly 😃
The hey joe is a carryover from the past and can be taken in various ways. Caution is still the name of the game there. Ingat
Did you find her familyy take care always keep safe
She should invite her relative and feed them in restaurants 😂 😂🇵🇭🇵🇭😅😂🤣🥲
Palit Mukha means he wants to exchange face with you haha
I can tell that your family in tondo was very happy to know you and proud. The word 'FAMILY' in the Philippines means a lot.
To everyone saying that it's dangerous in Tondo Manila, no it's not anymore. Honestly one of the most friendly people is living there and also a lot of famous celebrities not just in Philippines came from Tondo Manila.
Yah🤣🤣😂
That was just in the 70s and it wasn't really that bad. Then filipinos perpetuated that bad reputation of Tondo through the decades even though it wasn't and that they've never been there.
Tondo things will happen....
Jk but still at night though it turns into thr hood at night if ur alone
Haha watch a news.. mga kabataan nanloob ng bahay dahil walang panginom.. kalokohan yan nanits not anymore
No very dangerous
I'm not crying. You're crying. OMG I got emotional with the clip & then to see the whole video. OH I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU. What everyone is saying about timing & the all, YES. I believe it. Everything happens for a reason. Hoping that when you go back that this time your mom can do maybe a quick video chat on the phone with you and the family. How super exciting. SO HAPPY FOR YOU (BOTH). Continuous blessings and positive vibes your way. 🙏✨ 💛
Awww yes
Just a trivia, Tondo is one of the oldest town in the Philippines. Dating back with Lakan dula. King of Tondo and more rajas who lived there before Spanish came. Then in the 1900s where Tondo was a center of Trade where this was a place of millionaires where a lot of businessmen resided there and was like a Forbes park of today's in the society. Circa 60s to late 70s where TOndo became notorius from gangsters. These people came from different provinces who mixed with the Tondenas. If you remember the La Tondena factory now defunct was a maker of lapad or markang demonyo gin was located in Tondo. Fyi.
Thank you for this history
@@BiancaBeyond Giving back to your roots is such a blessing. More power and Good luck to your endeavors.;-)
Kingdom of Tondu
Tondo is not a city. It's one of Manila's districts.
@@BiancaBeyond Lucky you didn't see anyone running with his intestines around his arms and/or shoulders .
I was born in Gagalangin, Tondo way back 1947. All of us, siblings. Nice neighborhood,kind neighbors and our place is accessible to Divisoria,Pritil market,etc. I still have relatives there. Now, I'm here in the Visayas since 1984 with my children and grandchildren. But Tondo is still in my heart,my birthplace.🙂😊🤗 I love TONDO♥️❤️♥️💖💗
Visayas is a nice place to live tho
@@julienepagon256 it really is. Try visit Cebu and other parts of Visayan area.
@@explorer346 I live in Negros Island 🏝️
This video is priceless! I'm glad that all the viewers witness Bianca's reunited to her family! that is awesome!!! thank you for sharing!!! all love 😊
this video is so very beautiful! happy for bianca for meeting her relatives
hope her mom can talk with them too
Heartwarming to watch .. Tondo stays in my heart 💖 forever where I spent the first 4 years of my life playing as a kid on the street.. until we moved overseas too 🙂
I do miss the pandesal bakery we used to go to and the place to buy buko ice cream haha..
Despite populated town, the people there are all friendly and kind and glad they were helpful finding your family roots..so happy for you 😊😊
Wish I can go back there and just give out chocolates to my relatives they truly appreciate anything🌺
Hope you get to go back there for another family reunion enjoy ♥️
Masarap ang pandesal at buco ice cream sa Tondo. Do you happen to live near the Asuncion and/or Lualhati St. areas?
@@gearhead000TV Sa Zaragoza po kami how about you ? Yes Modest bakery has the best pandesal have you tried?
14:51 That kids do a "MANO PO" a sign of respect to anyone who is elder and a part of culture in Philippines. I'm happy to see that your relatives lives in Tondo maintain its culture and shows respect. Good Job!
Tondo used to be the ‘hood’ of Manila in the 70s to 80s. Now there’s a street food scene in Varona Street, it augurs well for the community. Really nice to see Bianca discovering her roots.
Pls Visit City Of Good Life Oroquieta,Province of Misamis Occidental Its More Fun in Philippines
Until now tondo still a hood 😩😩😩

What a fabulous early birthday present for Bianca. Her mom will be so happy she got to meet an uncle and cousins.
Bianca, you've got that Filipino vibe in you. Later you will realize why "It is more fun in the Philippines! Explore more places. Thank you bringing back the memories girl.☺
I have not seen a young guy so polite , and instead of shake her hands but gives gesture to her shows respect to his elder..I really taught thats gone kudos for him 💯this vlog is awesome, I wish my two boys and I could come and visit the Philippines. The last time I was there ( 1983 ) is been 39 years since I saw and step the Philippines..thanks for this heart warming vlog. Not very often, you see a vlog like you guys..Sincerely-I’m from your neighbour country CANADIAN 🇨🇦
this deserves a million views! its always amazing once u found ur roots. Family is everything :)
I lived in Tondo in the 70's before our family immigrated to Canada in 1976. Watching this video is bringing back memories of being one those kids playing in the streets with no care in the world and no supervision. Lol
The whole community was your babysitter and looked out for one another
Fact: Tondo was the first covid free place in the entire world! I think it was around June 2020 where you can see kids and adults not having any care with facemasks and going outside LOL
@@krugersavage6347 😂😂
This makes me fondly remember my first trip to Metro Manila to meet my wife's family from Tondo. We were so warmly received and treated. Thank you.
Maligayang Pagdating at PagYakap sa Pilipinas, Bianca. When you said: "Thank You for the Rain." That is a blessing, that is so Filipino.🇵🇭 GBY. 💖
Wow that was amazing...that rain is a blessing in disguise..an Angel is guiding u guys..so positive episode.. so cool..i remember the first time I watched u was you're in tondo giving candies to the kids
That's how you called Filipino heritage and loving the Roots indeed 👍 congratulations bianca to meet your family relatives in tondo stay safe and healthy guys 🙏
we cannot express how happy BIANCA IS right now the smile in her face.
Tondo has been stigmatized because of news and media. Glad you managed to trace your roots, Bianca. That's a Filipino tradition. Knowing where you came from would make you successful in your future endeavors in life. Understanding yourself makes you a better person. Good luck guys! God bless!
How nice is that, would love to see the look on Bianca's mom's face when she sees this video, the food looked great you guys were surrounded by very kind people all day the storm rolling in what a day.
Well that looked exhausting and fulfilling at the same time. Praying that you didn't get colds.
Perfectly good ☺️ well worth it even if we had
How wonderful and what an amazing day for Bianca! She found it through the help of friendly and kind hearted Filipinos.
This is the most touching video I have ever seen about family reunion! Just very humbling and heart warming!! God Bless!!
I was so happy for both of you to find Bianca's family in the most dangerous area in Manila. Maybe during my old days in the '60s & '70s, even myself has never been there until I left the Philippines for Canada. The creation of barangay has made the Philippines safer now. It's More Fun in The Philippines.
Yay! I am so happy for Bianca to find her family! That is wonderful. I love the kindnest of stangers. Oh, Happpy Day! Blesiings!
Congratulations! You've found your relatives in Tondo. Stay safe because that place is notorious.🇵🇭
I just wondered does her mom never contacted her family in the Philippines since she moved to canada
The cousin's kids would be her nephew or niece. I am so happy for Bianca, roots are always nice to come back too, They have a saying that those who forget the past will not find the future completely. Kudos to your boyfriend for being supportive and super duper nice.
Your cousin’s kids are your “first cousins once removed” - they’re one generation younger than you too, obviously. As for second cousins, your parent’s cousin’s kids are your second cousins - second cousins are same generation as you. It all made sense when I saw it on a diagram.
This was super emotional 😢😭 and I'm so so happy that you found family 👪 Your mum will be delighted I'm sure. What a crazy journey to get there but the help you received was overwhelming. How amazing 👏 I'm really happy to have seen this important event. A truly unforgettable day. Well done indeed guys. Family is everything ❤️
Thank you Helen it was amazing
@@BiancaBeyond would live to have seen ur mums reaction. I bet she was so happy 😊 What a great gift to give her xxx
Where’s your mom
@@tuttzrichardson1845 she moved to Canada 33 years ago and still lives there
I like how the rain poured for a while and then you stopped by the building and got some details of her family~ Amazing grace!
That was so wonderful to see. I'm so happy for you. You must feel so excited right now. Mike your subscriber is a wonderful person to have helped you with something so important in your life.
Mike is a beautiful person!!
That was WONDERFUL! So glad for Bianca. And, M , you were so great to support her through this hunt.
Well that was pretty cool!! There's so much talk about Tondo being a dangerous place (and I'm sure like a lot of other places there may be some areas if you're out late at night), but it looks like there are lots of nice and friendly people there. It's really great that you found Bianca's family, and I'm sure you look forward to meeting the rest when you return.
I never will get used to the "Hey Joe" thing. lol
Omg!! This is epic!! Love love love this!! God is good!!
So nice & brave of Bianca to navigate through a bad & dangerous neighborhood in the Philippines.She is such a one of a kind person.Not everyone would go through all that
trouble like she did,especially in a place where she is not familiar at all. God bless her.
Although there are a lot of nice & friendly people in the area,but the not so good reputatation of Tondo has stuck with other Filipinos.Maybe,it's not so dangerous
anymore like it used to be.I would still go there during the day than at night to visit
relatives,since you are not used to the place at all.Stay safe.
That was before. Nowadays its busy too much businesses going left n right
Tondo used to get the bad rap as a "bad neighborhood". But I heard that it's a lot safer nowadays than it was before.
Wow Wok Inn is still in business! T'was my favorite resto. As a kid my parents brought us there during special occasions. This vlog just brought back memories to you and Bianca and me, as a viewer. They used to have a branch in Greenbelt, Makati. Luckily, I was able to dine at both their Malate and Makati branches. Those are favorites right there, which are the fried Sipa that you dip in their sweet sauce, stuffed squid, lumping Shanghai and fried rice. Lucky you that you got to dine there.
wow that is incredible journey! first a subscriber drove you then you walk in an unfamiliar streets in tondo then suddenly rains as if God is guiding you and telling to stop and take a shelter at the right place which has records of people living in the area! how cool is that?! then a random people that you met were willing to help unconditionally even it's raining! God bless you more guys. happy for bianca😊
Bianca is meant to meet her relatives at that day. All the incidents lead to her relatives' house.
Happy that you found your relatives. With only picture of the house. You have a Filipino heart and your husband is very supportive to you he really loves you. GOD Bless you.
This was the hardest part of her life to look back at her roots. No matter their lives is was then or now. Filipino blood runs in Biancas vein bcoz of her mixed nationality. Were grateful to see her resilience to find her mother roots. Godbless Bianca your such a good girl.
what a great story...finding relatives in a crowded place in tondo and you both made it...🥰😘
Wok Inn in Malate has been around for decades and is one of our family’s favorite dining spots from long ago. So nice you chose that place to feature. Next time you visit Malate, try The Aristocrat which is a longtime Filipino cuisine spot.
So so beautiful vlog full of hearts, overwhelming emotions. Even the weather helped to find your long lost family, this is really meant to be, this is destiny and i will call it a miracle.
We'll be waiting for the sequel, for the reunion. I'm so happy for you both. Your husband is so happy also... Joe... This name calling has a deep history in us...
It’s nice of you to bring your girl back to her ancestral home. Now, you’re in deep. And your family just got bigger. Congratulations.
The "Hey, Joe!" greeting came from the Liberation days of World War II when the American troops were greeted as "Victory Joe" and "G.I. Joe" when they arrived to drive away the Japanese. It's part of Filipino oral history.
Yeah this is it, deep history for the name calling JOE....
Very true po. Whenever a Filipino meet a foreigner no matter what race but most probably white or black, he will be called 'hey joe'! Really Filipino line.
or they're baiting him so they can say JOE MAMA
Joe's are what the Americans call themselves, we just adopted it from them. It's not like we're the one who invented that name. Joe's are Americans and Americans calls the British Jerry's.
It may be a bit crowded in that area of Tondo but you know that the area is safe if the kids can go around without any adult supervision and the women can walk around freely.
I'm happy for Bianca for finding her roots in Tondo.
Hmm… it depends which part of Tondo. In our part, kids can do that just fine but there are dangers lurking around … or at least back then. But in the opposite side of Tondo (relative to our section), there are no kids outside but it's safer in that part. The dangers are also not what most people assume (like pickpockets; or beggars who will stab you if you don't give anything; or some gang; or frat [I'm not saying those doesn't exist]), it's age-old family/clan rivalries as well as intense business competitions … the ones people usually dismiss as "it only happens in movies". Not sure if it still is the same to this day, hopefully it is better. ;)
kid's rooming around with solvent as their inhaling toy 😭
@@YourOnlyONEofcl Oo na… cge na masama na ang lugar na Tondo pati mga tao. Yan ang hirap sa mga sa mga Pinoy hanggang ngayon dala pa rin ang crab mentality kaya hindi makaalpas sa kahirapann ang Pinas. Kapwa Pilipino mo pilit mong hinihila pababa. Imbis na yong maganda hang asal na ipinakita ng mga Pinoy ang makita pero hindi iyon pa rin kasiraan ang nakikita. Paano nga naman majakaahon sa hiirap ang mga Pinoy kung ang kapwa Pinoy mo ang sumisira sayo?!?! Tsk! Ahh ewan… tawagan niyo na lang si DARNA para ipagtanggol ang mga inaapi!!!!
@@beercan4u84 I am sure you completely misunderstood what I said. Or maybe you tagged the wrong person. But either way, I would advise reading carefully and understanding what was said before jumping to conclusions. Mabuhay. ^_^
Wow you made it villamor i have my childhood friends villamor they live in pasay city iam scared & happy for you to find your relatives i cant wait to your next vlog with your relatives keep safe guys❤️😍
The downpour rain is a sign of blessing as I often heards before with the old folks. And there you are, despite of this heavy rain, it didn't made you to think twice to pursue searching for your father's home. Finally, your sacrifices had paid off.
Really emotional and family bonding blog to watch. Old memories never be forgotten. Did great job. 👌💗
Tondo has a rich history because back in pre colonial times Tondo is actually a kingdom ruled by a Rajah. However after World War 2 when Manila was decimated, people flock to Tondo from all places in the Philippines. While it is not dangerous, I have to say that it is overly populated. In social constructs psychology, the more people you have , the less resources for people to have access to. I believe it's science that needs no convincing.
Thank You for taking me on your adventure, I love all the little kids so much fun
I deeply admire your support for your wife Bianca. May you grow old together, caring and loving each other the same way you do in the present time.
What an absolutely beautiful vlog, I am so happy for Bianca and yourself. I really enjoy watching your vlogs from Deep South Texas, along the USA-Mexico border.
Thank you Joe!
Her uncle looks like her mom...hehehe...Thank God you found Bianca's relatives in that intricate place...
Just finished watching your vlog. It's just so heartwelming that you really had the initiative to find your mom's place and meet some of your relatives. Hope you get to bond and get along with them when you have time. Filipinos are so welcoming! Been there in Tondo so many times. Enjoy your life here in Philippines and keep safe always. Subscribed already. :)))
It's an amazing and wonderful to see the urban picturesque, of whatsoever lovely dwelling conditions of the inhabitants at the westernside/City of Manila. All though modern urbanization have had been initiated by the National Housing Authority in order to reduce congestion of living quarters and livelihood in a densely populated district of Tondo, blocks nearby is a huge Divisoria Commercial and Shopping District.!!!
So happy for you Bianca, and your husband is very supportive. Love your vlogs 💖
Filipinos rock!!! Went out of their way to assist and help foreign expats who by the way happens to be half Filipina and her boyfriend who is a very nice person.
That is very cool that Bianca found the house and family. I was adopted and found birth family so I know what it is like to find family you did not know you had. Probably a lot more surprises for her. Great you had help from a subscriber and so many people along the way.
I was teary-eyed....wen yor nephew put yor hand on his forehead means mano....sign of respect 2d elder...I'm a new subscriber, Filipino born in d Philippines,living in USA
God bless u found them.rain is a blessings
Is Bianca's mom still in contact with her family in Tondo? So happy you guys finally met family! ❤️
She isn't tech savvy at all we taught her how to accept Skype calls from us when we left. She doesn't text, email or Facebook so there hasn't been a way to stay in touch except hearing about things through other family living in Canada.
amazing to find a family member in a very very secluded and they called it before a dangerous area....i appreciate your love to your mom...
Wow so amazing. Nothing is impossible. Enjoy your spare time in the philippines with your family. I got teary eyes . We love you all guys! Stay safe.
Such a touching moment. I'm so happy for you, Bianca for finding your family in Tondo.
As far as I know, there is no danger in Tondo. Tondo's reputation has been tarnished by the portrayal of the city in Philippine films. Tondo is known as a dangerous area because of this. To be fair, it's a fantastic location.
Totally agree I felt safe there as a gringo
As someone that has a father that grew up in Tondo, I'm so happy she found her roots. I've never been inside that part of Tondo before as Tondo is a really big place. I only got as far as the Tutuban Mall.
4:05. All older generations in the US grew up this same way. Playing in the rain and running through puddles barefoot in summer thunderstorms. I PITY the countless millions of younger generation who’ve never experienced this simple joyous part of growing up, because they were always inside on video games or on their cell phones, missing out on REAL life. There are also millions of young people now who’ve never learned to ride a bike for the same reason. A tragedy for humankind.
I was born two blocks away from Tondo HS and spent most of my childhood there. I live in the US now and you guys just made me bawl at work. 🙈
Awww
7:17 Damn , the Tondo High School has existed for 39 years so its been here since Marcos Presidency and that statue has Macoys(Ferdinand Marcos nickname) signature , NOICE , awesome historical landmarks.
Wow..how wonderful to watch a Canadian citizen finding her family roots from tondo personally..nice reunion!😘💞
What an amazing video to meet your family Bianca so happy you were able to find them and how helpful everyone was!Much love! ❤️🇺🇸🇦🇱🇵🇭🇨🇦💕
Damn lots to unpack here, not to mention the heavy rain. Hey Joe is a remnant of WW2 American occupation where locals called the erstwhile colonizers/liberators as Joe thus "Hey, Joe". More importantly, happy for Bianca that she was able to locate her family tree in Tondo of all places 🌲
I loved the way you interact with the Filipino people. I'm Filipino now living in CA. USA
Love this video❤️ from ecuador
Congrats on finding your relatives after that rainy journey haha. It's so heartwarming to see. Love how the kid guy did the 'mano' gesture to show respect to bianca🥺
Guys, this particular video can be an episode called "Touched by Angels". From beginning to end, it was faith that brought Bianca to her relatives in Tondo! How awesome is that! FYI, the district of Tondo, Manila comprises of 996 barangays, it is quite large, populated, consisting of alley ways, a maze of buildings that look similar to each other, and for you to find it like that, is truly remarkable. I got emotional watching you guys, no foolin'. Michael, you were right about the Hey Joe reference, and as you know 90% of Filipinos love USA, and 100% love Canadians. the 10% of haters live in West Mindanao ( facts ) The Red 3 KKK you saw on the wall is one of 9 original flags of the PH, circa late 1800's The leader of the rebels vs. the Spaniards on the wall you saw is Andres Bonifacio, born in Tondo, very near where Bianca's relatives live, near Tondo High School, that is also the school where now ex mayor Isko Moreno went to school as well. He is the ultimate rags to riches person everyone admires, especially in Tondo, where he was born, and grew up just like the kids you see on the streets. Now, I can't wait to see July 10th's episode, it will be emotional for everyone, including your viewers. Take care guys.
Thank you for all of this we learned a lot
Wow it's amazing story. I'm also from Tondo, Manila & one thing I really love that place is the people are really amazing, friendly and they always keep saying hello, hi and Mano po ( Bless you ).. Keep up posting the story of your family in Tondo. I really miss that place
Amazing video we appreciate you taking us on.
Look at the clouds when you go out of the hotel. There is always a warning sign telling you that it will be a rainy day. Bring umbrella if you think that it will rain.
Though I do admit that in this endeavor, forgetting to bring an umbrella was instrumental in finding Bianca's relatives. We are indeed guided by invisible forces and we just have to go with the flow. Everything indeed happens for a reason.
Hello Bianca and Michael. Welcome to the Philippines! This country is also your home because Bianca's mom was born here. I came across your video, and I am so glad to watch it. It made me teary-eyed seeing how you weathered the rain to find Bianca's family. Not too many people get to experience this and it is just so amazing! I was born in Sta. Ana, Manila, and those that are born in Manila are called " Batang Maynila" 😊 I will watch your other videos here, and have subscribed to your youtube channel. God bless you and enjoy living in the Philippines 😘💕
I’m from Eastern Samar and we all have our own well known identity “waray waray “ are matapang, brave and will not backdown from a fight. I probably will get lost around Tondo. Nice for Bianca in finding her relatives “when heaven pour it rained with blessings.”
Funny enough I was in the Philippines in 1997. How time flies! I'm a Canadian living in Vancouver, I retired in Jan 2022 from full-time work just working 2 days a week currently and plan on full-time retirement with the P.I. at the top of my list. Bianca's cousin's children would be her first cousins once removed but my cousins children call me uncle as well.
This is an awesome video.
The best so far.
Nothing like finding lost family members and connect with them again
this is kmjs worthy feature...
Stay safe 💖 always guy's 🙂
guys you hit 1m thanks to alk kababayan who support bianca and mic
WHOA WHOA WHOA!!!! THIS SHOULD BE VIRAL!!!! YEAH IT MADE ME EMOTIONAL 😢
You don’t have to say “Dangerous Neighborhood” it’s a “Friendly Neighborhood”, Filipino People are Friendly.
That's why there's a question mark. Also it's Tondo, when you say dangerous city Filipinos will immediately think of Tondo. It makes it a more recognizable and catchy title, I clicked because I knew it was in Tondo.
I agree.. There's a question mark.. Btw it's what it is known for isn't it?
