Hope you learned something new from this vlog, too! Visiting Manila this way was a new experience and so much fun to see the reactions of other foreigners (love their durian reaction! 😂). More vlogs to come this week, thank you for watching. 🥰
I love to see you exploring the city!!Thank you for sharing your experience and adventure to some of the historical places in the city..Keep it up and blessings to you Susie
Thanks Ms Susie and Jonathan for sharing us this experience. It is really helpful because I might do a tour of Manila someday, good to see what it would be like.
Quiapo is a great example of the duality of Philippine religion. There's Quiapo Church representing Catholic belief but outside are remnants of pre-hispanic beliefs like agimats, gayuma, etc. In this uber-religious area, you can also find "pamparegla" a euphemism for inducing abortion
The best in Manila are the Museum hopping , Binondo for foodtrip ( the oldest Chinatown in the world ) , Corregidor Island , Ocean Park , Manila Bay Sunset .
@SusieinthePhilippines being a British Filipino, I've never had the chance to visit those types of places in my life. Sure would be an eye opener and learning about my heritage.
Hello Susie and Jonathan, so you're in the area Quiapo, "Ilalim Ng Tulay" at Palanca St., my kind of place during my schooling days. Avenida, RIzal Avenue, LRT, Evangelista, Raon, Recto Avenue, Divisoria or wherever, it's Manila!
No wonder you skipped the palabok in Quiapo (which is soo good) you're heading to Chinatowm.😅 Chinatown is an adventure. you have to find its secrets yourselves😊
Sana mabigyan ng bago mga tricycles un mga luma nila pero kuhanin un luma at destrungkahin wasakin muna bago isakay sa dumpster truck kasi baka kuhanin ng iba pa.. para nman maaliwalas sa paningin sa mga turista . Pbbm sana kundi maialis mga tricycles sa Manila ay sana maganda at maayos na tricycles man lang 🙏🏻✨✨✨
Because you went to China Town am not sure if heard Korean Town in Clark AirBase seem you are in Korea. If not went try make video it is interesting too
Even with an -o, it's actually still not a word you should say to Spanish-speakers. 😅 It means the same thing as the one with an -a, except it refers to guys.
15:58 I disagree with Kuya actually. The Chinese converted quite easily to Catholicism, because it basically gives them citizenship (becoming actual subjects of Spain like Filipinos) and lowers their taxes. They didn't need much convincing. The lions are there for the simple reason that a lot of stone-dressers working in cities were Chinese artisans. Stoneworking was not a common native skill for Filipinos, unlike woodcarving. Most of the woodwork (like the door) is done by Filipino artisans, while most of the stonework is done by Chinese artisans. The people who commissioned them probably just liked them because they're lions, and lions were symbols of the Spanish Empire. And they probably reminded them of gargoyles in European churches.
@@SusieinthePhilippines I mean, he didn't even explain how guardian lions are supposed to convince them to convert. They're literally just traditional building ornaments for good luck.

Didn't expect Susie singing A Thousand Miles in this video but we'll take it
Hahaha generous of you to call it singing thank you 😁
Time to launch another channel dedicated for your song covers, I'll be waiting 😂

Mabuhay! ♥️😃❤️
yeah, the historical info and convenience of good tours can't be beat if you're not in the area for long and have little time to research
Yes it's a completely different experience! Always just passed these areas without knowing much about them

Only been to the National Museum of Natural History, hope to visit the others, too soon ❤️
Watching no skipping ads 😊 hi Susie and Jonathan 👋
Hello Miss Susie and Jonathan. Ohhh,I missed the Philippines.Yummy food everywhere.
This was a perfect food trip! Hope you can visit home soon 🥰
Present Miss Susie 🙋 Keep Safe
I need to do one of these tours when I get to the Philippines
Yes!! It's honestly so much fun and useful even if you're ready kinda familiar with the area

It’s pronounced “Kyapo”. Also that your guide seems hilarious!
knock knock! Who's there? Puto bungbong. Puto bunbong who? A puto pungbong into my heart . . . (to the tune of Wake Me Up Before You Go Go by Wham! :)
Hello Susie and Jonathan, so you're in the area Quiapo, "Ilalim Ng Tulay" at Palanca St., my kind of place during my schooling days. Avenida, RIzal Avenue, LRT, Evangelista, Raon, Recto Avenue, Divisoria or wherever, it's Manila!
It's a fun area! Once I'd like to spend more time around there to properly shop, everything is so surprisingly cheap around the market / church!
Quiapo is actually pronounced as "Kiyapo" and it is known as the place where they sell all kinds of stuff including medicinal herbs and others.
I wish I'd knew what all those strange looking herbs are 😁
The weather was perfect for a walking tour in Manila nit too hot
Yes we got so lucky!!
No wonder you skipped the palabok in Quiapo (which is soo good) you're heading to Chinatowm.😅 Chinatown is an adventure. you have to find its secrets yourselves😊
Always happy to be back there to find hidden new food spots 😍
❤❤❤

Been there many many years ago in sure it changed a lot now!

Susie is blooming beauty that means the baby is a girl. Praying for a normal delivery.
Thank you 😊 Gender reveal soon!!
I correct mo naman Jonathan yung Quyapo nya....

Quiapo is pronounced as "kyapo" not "kuyapo." I wonder why your partner is not even correcting you

That's an interesting take also! I will try to do more research on this
