Zane's becoming one of my new fave foreign vloggers. I don't watch as much now, probably 3-4 unlike before where I juggle between a looot of them. Seems like a nice dude.
Quezon City is massive. It's dubbed as city of the stars. Most celebrities reside in QC. It is home to giant media companies none in Makati n BGC. With exciting night life the whole stretch of Timog, Morato and Quezon Avenues are old time favorites among the locals. Go to UP Diliman the biggest university campus just near the Memorial circle.
I think there are American fast food restaurants in shopping malls all over the world, haha! I like your aimless walking. Although you sometimes get lost, it doesn't matter. Maybe you will find many pleasured surprises unexpectedly! Araneta City seems to be a very developed city, a very interesting urban adventure tour, thank you very much for sharing! 👍🥰🙏
Love that your channel is growing fast Zane. Well deserved! And you are in the right country for fast growth. The people are so approachable, generous, and welcoming! 👊🏼😌
Places and surnames in the Philippines are have strong spanish roots. Thus the Que in Quezon is pronounced as 'keh' like que pasa, que hora. Points of Interest: Eastwood - a business district but a very different vibe because of the unique architecture of the buildings UP Diliman - strolling La Mesa Eco Park - nature trip Unfortunately, QC Memorial Circle seems not well properly maintained.
Yes, Quezon City is the biggest City in all cities in Metro Manila. It was once the capital of the country before returning it back to Manila City. You cannot explore Quezon City in 1 day, there are so much to see in the city. Araneta Coliseum is known to have the historic Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier lll, billed as the "Thrilla in Manila", was the third and final boxing match between WBA and WBC heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali, and Joe Frazier, for the heavyweight championship of the world. and its also a regular events place for all kinds of basketball including the recently concluded FIBA World Cup
araneta coliseum was the biggest covered coliseum in the world until 1963. it hosted memorable events and concerts including that of nat king cole's in 1961. i've seen famous american singers perform at the big dome like john legend, michael bolton, richard marx, jason mraz, ashanti, boyz 2 men (twice), natalie cole, philip bailey of earth, wind, & fire, etc.
To walk and travel around the metro is interesting and it is the easiest way to familiarize and soak yourself to the ways and culture of the filipino people. When in public places, dont hesitate to interact to people.... you will be surprise on how the locals are so accomodating and friendly and helpful they are... Keep it up brother and welcome to the philipines...
I have walked through these malls countless times before for many years, but not recently though, but for some reason I got hooked with the way you showcased these places as if it's the first time I'm seeing them. Kudos to you Zane for highlighting these places that have become almost too trivial for most locals.
MANILA seems one of the advance MegaCity in the World. i lived a few months in L.A, California but the city itself seems poor alot of beggars and homeless people in the streets alot of crimes as well like mass shootings and gangs. the Infrastructure and business district of Manila looks more modern and developed Alot of Tall skyscrapers in MANILA. and also you cant get boring coz. its very massive metropolis and has alot to offers like it gets almost all of Western brands and alot to explore both local and modern areas that makes up Metro Manila.
Not sure if you went to Eastwood City already. It has its own community with many condos and it has 2 malls . Each mall has cinemas ( 4 in each mall ) , many restaurants , stores , 2 groceries ( Robinson’s and Rustan’s Marketplace ) etc
You should have gone further after shake-shack, which is another part of SM mall called The Block, its where the high end shops are. Visit Eastwood City instead. Its different vibe, small commercial complex patterned to look like San Francisco. Its part of Quezon City also.
Luv your videos Sir, its really entertaining. I live in the province but Ive been in SM north when iwas 12 years old , now im 21 and i can barely remember some of the places but it feels very nostalgic , i miss going there with my siblings
I'm born and raised in Quezon City, and you might spend like 3-4 days to explore the wonders of this place. Some recommendations: 1. As you visited the Quezon Memorial Circle, you might as well visit the night since everything will be more vibrant (esp the fountain!!) 2. Food tour in Maginhawa street, Diliman is a must! 3. For BGC/ Poblacion vibes, visit Tomas Morato Area during weekend nights! You'll have fun 4. Visit UP Diliman should you need to relax with nature. It is hands down one of the best universities in the Philippines. 🙌🏼 5. Brave the traffic in Fairview/Commonwealth area. Rush hour gets crazy and the famous quote "2 hours travel time from QC to QC" is proven on these places🤣 These are some of my recos. Im sure there are alot more from others, but you may want to start from here :)
Some other places you can explore in Quezon City - Maginhawa St - food street that has become popular, many small unique restaurants catering to student budgets, you have to take a cab going there. If you want to save on cab fare, take the mrt to araneta city and then get a cab to maginhawa st Banawe St - a whole street of mostly Chinese food restaurants and cafes There's also an Ace Water Spa nearby but I suggest going to the newer Ace Water Spa Branch in Kapitolyo Pasig (just a quick 5-10 min cab from BGC). This is like a water playground with lots of Jacuzzi -like pools. Morato / Scout area - this area is full of restaurants catering to middle to upper class clientele.
Hi Zane, happy to see you came back to the Philippines. By the way, you're actually mispronouncing Quezon City as "Kwezon City." Quezon is pronounced as "Kesson" like Wesson in Smith and Wesson. Mabuhay!
Thank you Zane for going to QMC. I used to frequent that place during my childhood/student days. Felt like I'm on a nostalgia trip. More power to you and your vlogs :)
Oh yeah to answer your question about where to in Quezon (Ke-Zon not K-Zon) city... Inside the University of the Philippines campus (adjacent is another mall Called U.P Town Center) walkable and connected by a bridge Eastwood City - a small CBD with malls and few open spaces Maginhawa - a food strip
Also in the circle is the museum of the cars of the president of the Philippines,the presidential cars of the different presidents from the beginning like the Cadillacs, Benz , Rolls Royce etc.
I just finished binge watched your vlogs in South Korea. If you came back to the PH, I can tour you around in Metro Manila ☺️ stay safe and keep uploading vlogs.
Zane, when i retire i plan to stay longer loke few months in Manila possibly just rent out there. Manila is a very huge and diverse place. U can’t see all in just a month only. U need to stay there like 6 months to be able to access all the modern hotels, resto etc.
I really like your vlog Zane ❤ i haven’t been in QMC and SM North for a very long time (i’m here in NC) and i was so happy watching you enjoying your stay and having fun in the Philippines. God bless!
Sm City North EDSA is the very first huge mall in the Philippines in the 80’s and then they built the Megamall in Ortigas area ( close to BGC) and then came up with the Mall of Asia which is now the biggest in the Philippines. I USED TO LIVE IN Quezon City and I definitely love it because I lived nearby. Now it’s all 26:50 developed to a bigger place with lots of condominiums in that area of Quezon City. Lots of places to explore, but people just enjoy going to the malls. Almost all big cities in Metro Manila has SM mall.
Hi Zane! You may skip Manila for a while and try to fly to Bacolod City and experience their famous Masskara Festival and enjoy their food and local parade activities. This is very famous among foreign tourists too. It will be on Sunday. Farmer's Plaza by the way is one of the oldest malls in the NCR. It was erected in the early 80's. It seems like they interconnected all the malls in the area. Farmers, Gateway, and SM Cubao if I'm not mistaken. The same goes with Greenbelt, Landmark, Glorietta, and SM in Ayala, Makati.
You should try the Ramen Nagi because of the most delicious ramen and Karaage fried chicken. It’s an authentic Japanese place and you’ll never be disappointed. I love it. Quezon City is one of the largest cities in the Philippines, where my family lives. Araneta’ s gateway mall is pretty new. I admire your perseverance walking trough the whole area and you’ll never go wrong if you ask somebody where to go. There’s a lot of transportation available there, but it depends on where you’re heading.
Greenwich has a sisig pizza. U try it. I’ve tried it in the past when am there in the PH and it is good. There is no Greenwich in our area here in the U.S. and i miss that sisig pizza.
Quezon City was the place to go to for the past three to four decades. Now, it got stuck in those times with BGC, Rockwell, and the rest of the newest centers/ attractions popping up around Metro Manila. Quezon City government needs to upgrade the area by touring around the major metro cities around the world to get new ideas and copy or innovate them here in QC. It needs to improve its attractions and structures to be competitive with the rest of the world and become another world class city.
At the base of the Quezon Memorial Shrine is the Museo ni Manuel L. Quezon, a museum that has a collection of relics and memorabilia related to former President Manuel Quezon, as well as a mausoleum which houses the interred remains of Quezon and his wife Aurora Aragon Quezon
EDSA is the main avenue/artery where ALL vehicles in Metro Manila are on, getting from northern Metro Manila across to southern Metro Manila. TRAFFIC is the name of the game on that God-forsaken road. North of Araneta is SM City. The Quezon ("kezon") Memorial Circle is, basically, at the heart of Q.C. with "valves" that lead into different exits to different parts of QC. QC is quite BIG and dizzying. You really should study the map as best you could before attempting to get to a particular spot. One good thing about the city is that it has malls and quaint coffee shops to relax in that are very much spread out - less dizzying than, say, BGC - with BGC's commercial shops and restaurants right next to each other. And, yes: vloggers don't really travel to SM City. BGC, Makati, until MOA is all they ever do, really.
Hey Zane I Wish You Visit OKADA RESORT I WANT TO SEE HOW IT LOOKS NOW ….. I KNOW YOU CAN NOT FILM INSIDE THE CASINO ONLY THE OUTSIDE, JUST WANTED TO SEE HOW THE HOLIDAY DECORATIONS LOOKS LIKE….. 💕🖐️🙌✌️👍👍👍👍👍👌🙏🇺🇸
I would recommend visiting the University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman. It's a large campus with lots of greenery. It's open to everyone, so you would normally see people jogging/exercising around the Academic Oval. I recommend going there late in the afternoon (around 4pm). If you got tired and hungry from exploring UP, you can go to either UP Town Center, which is another mall just beside the campus, or if you want a more homey/chic/local foods, you can go to Maginhawa St. It's essentially a residential area which eventually became a commercial area due to it being near UP. It's considered the go to place of students of UP and other universities in the area. It's just a jeepney away from UP. If you're looking for a place to eat at Maginhawa, I recommend Provenciano (Filipino food).
Quezon City is the largest city in the Philippines in terms of population. It has almost 3 million inhabitants based on 2020 census. Area-wise, it is the largest city in Metro Metro and it accounts for a quarter of its total land area.
Bro. Quezon City. You pronounced it as Kwaye-zon which is incorrect. It should be pronounced as Kay-zon as in the folk song by Doris Day "Que sera sera...whatever will be, will be." Have a nice day. Love your vlogs.
Totally normal getting lost in QC lol I lived there for several years and I still get lost from time to time. My tip is to always look for security guards or men in uniform (Police or MMDA) and ask them for directions. They will always guide you to the right way.
Another great video, Zane! Hope you can visit us in the the south of Metro Manila too (Parañaque - can't remember if you've been to the Okada area. Alabang - Alabang Towncenter, Filinvest City, Molito Lifestyle Center) etc! We're a little harder to get to and out of though cause we're far from the trains and traffic can get pretty bad especially at rush hour, but you can try buses though if you're cool with it, just don't stay too late 😆
What's inside the Quezon Memorial Shrine?  It has a museum that features Quezoniana relics and memorabilia, and a mausoleum where the remains of Quezon and his wife, Aurora Aragon Quezon, were interred.
I've had that same interaction with taxi's a few times over there. I don't know, maybe when they know you're a foreigner, they check to see if you're willing to just offer some arbitrary amount that seems small to you, but high for them? But yeah, I always just say "meter".
Hi zane mabuhay 👋 hope you doing well. There is a free bus ride from cubao terminal which is were you from! To quezon city memorial circle or quezon city hall. Just ask the security guards if you don't know and they will tell you. Enjoy staying here in the philippines hope to see you in person. Sending love from our country. ❤
I noticed that you are not having verbal interactions with the locals. I think you should. This will help you get more subscribers as we Filipinos love blogs having us as your content of interests Welcome back.
You totally missed the Farmers Market! The Farmers Market is on the ground floor, you were on the right track before you went back up to Araneta City Mall. The Farmers Market (we simply call it "Farmers") is one of the biggest wet markets in Metro Manila known for seafood. It has vegetable, fruit, meat and seafood vendors (retail). It's one of the cleaner ones but still, don't wear your best outfit, lol. When we want to have seafood, this is where we go to buy them, because most smaller local wet markets don't have the variety of seafood that Farmers has available. Unfortunately it's not like Dampa where there are restaurants nearby that can cook the seafood for you. I've heard there's like 1 or 2 such restos in Farmers but it's not like Dampa that's become famous for them. Personally have not tried the restos there in Farmers because we always buy seafood to cook at home. Edit: wet markets have peak times. That's normally early morning 7am-10am and late afternoon 3pm- 5pm when people go to buy ingredients for lunch/ dinner. The off peak hours, vendors are usually resting. Better to go during peak hours to see the action, preferably morning when seafood stocks are fresh :)
I'm happy I saw myself in your vlog ❤️

I'm getting ready for my trip to the Philippines. I've been watching your vlogs like cramming for a big test. Thank you so much for all that you do.
I think there are American fast food restaurants in shopping malls all over the world, haha!

Points of Interest:
Eastwood - a business district but a very different vibe because of the unique architecture of the buildings
UP Diliman - strolling
La Mesa Eco Park - nature trip
Unfortunately, QC Memorial Circle seems not well properly maintained.
not sure if the La Mesa Ecopark is open again. it closed with ABS

Quezon City is actually pronounced: Kay-saan-si-ty.
I’ve spent a lot of time there. Enjoying your channel by the way. Great job, Zane!
University Of The Philippines is near QC Circle its also a big campus to explore
Not sure if you went to Eastwood City already. It has its own community with many condos and it has 2 malls . Each mall has cinemas ( 4 in each mall ) , many restaurants , stores , 2 groceries ( Robinson’s and Rustan’s Marketplace ) etc
South East Asia is more advanced than Middle East and South Asia.
Southeast Asia is more developed than East Asia, S.Korea, and Japan. The Philippines is by far the best in Southeast Asia.
Are there only shopping malls in Manila? 😅
Israel, UAE, Qatar, Saudi and Bahrain I guess are modern areas in the middle east, the rests are troubled countries
True!
@@ProudChinoywhat is Israel?

Fun fact EDSA is an acronym that stands for Epifanio Delos Santos Avenue
Wow… the malls there are awesome!❤
Gateway Mall 2 is brand new expansion. Most shops are closed still but some operated early. I love gateway 2 since it’s not crowded
SM North Edsa is the second biggest mall in the Philippines, next to SM MOA. The connecting mall is Trinoma, an Ayala mall.

Yup. If it's not metered, get another taxi. I really wish we have more trains here in the Metro.
Take the MRT to SM North, the last station. Basically the MRT runs through EDSA. From SM North, you can go to Quezon Memorial Circle.
Cubao is Awesome 👏should go inside Farmers Market is unique my friend 👋

You can take the LRT Southbound. Get off at the last station EDSA Taft. Transfer to the LRT, get off at Vito Cruz Station. Walk to CCP and Star City.
Escape Manila and visits island like , siargao, palawan( el nido, coron, Puerto princesa,amanpulo) ... leyte as well,

The chicken dish looks yummy!
Not only the biggest but also the wealthiest. 😊
iT IS NOT THE BIGGEST CITY IN THE PHILIPPINES IN TERMS OF LAND AREA
@@Basketreel o tapos? Walang may paki sa davao nyo. 🤣
Try visit some tourist destination outside metro Manila. Like Baguio tagaytay cebu bohol Palawan and more.

*I do suggest for you to visit Eastwood Libis, it's San Francisco inspired.*
Totally normal getting lost in QC lol I lived there for several years and I still get lost from time to time. My tip is to always look for security guards or men in uniform (Police or MMDA) and ask them for directions. They will always guide you to the right way.

Hope you can also visit Eastwood City Libis Quezon City its the Hollywood of the Philippines

Try Eastwood. But taxi/Grab is a must.
Gateway Mall 2 still under construction right now. I was there last May. Coming back again next year. By then Gateway Mall 2 is fully open.
Wait. You came back?
Hi zane mabuhay 👋 hope you doing well. There is a free bus ride from cubao terminal which is were you from! To quezon city memorial circle or quezon city hall.

The Farmers Market is on the ground floor, you were on the right track before you went back up to Araneta City Mall.
The Farmers Market (we simply call it "Farmers") is one of the biggest wet markets in Metro Manila known for seafood. It has vegetable, fruit, meat and seafood vendors (retail). It's one of the cleaner ones but still, don't wear your best outfit, lol.
When we want to have seafood, this is where we go to buy them, because most smaller local wet markets don't have the variety of seafood that Farmers has available.
Unfortunately it's not like Dampa where there are restaurants nearby that can cook the seafood for you. I've heard there's like 1 or 2 such restos in Farmers but it's not like Dampa that's become famous for them. Personally have not tried the restos there in Farmers because we always buy seafood to cook at home.
Edit: wet markets have peak times. That's normally early morning 7am-10am and late afternoon 3pm- 5pm when people go to buy ingredients for lunch/ dinner. The off peak hours, vendors are usually resting. Better to go during peak hours to see the action, preferably morning when seafood stocks are fresh :)
Quezon City is the City. Araneta City is just the name of the place, like a branding...
Try To Interact to as many locals You Encounter... It is more Fun ... exciting and you can get Informations from them....

You have to eat at Bacolod Inasal! It’s so delicious! Be careful with those taxis, they like to scam the non Filipino.
