Mergim thank you again for showing the Mandaluyong City’s Condos now me and my husband we have more idea to choose the more convenient for little of everything to shop for food and etc.thanks for sharing
Megamall is old but in July the renovation will start. SM hired a world class company to do the renovation which happen to have built the Jewel in Singapore airport 😊
More of this please. I’m a Fil-AM that’s been away for so long. Though I’ve made quick visits a few times it’s only now that I’m seriously contemplating on retiring permanently in the Phil.
Wow! P1.4k/night is a good take there. The room is neat at promising in aesthetics. Not bad. Good take. For me, I still love the ambiance of the community in Alabang. It is more quiet and far away from the busy highways of the metro.
I used to work in Ortigas. And sure I knew the surrounding areas. But now watching your video I cant recognize Mandaluyong anymore except Megamall. I hope my homeland will continue growing and I like to see more greens.
I think my place is underrated. I live in Ortigas BCD and is very walkable. They even close the streets on the weekend for a weekend market . But the best thing I love about the place is it's in the center of Metro Manila. I have everything I needed in Ortigas but if I want to go to BGC Makati or Quezon City it's very close
Thank you for showing condos outside of BGC. Glad to have met you, briefly, a couple of weeks ago in the lobby uptown park suites. Catch you next time.
Thanks for pointing out we are actually one of the world's fastest growing economies. The problem we have is our media and elite say the worst things about our country for political reasons, so it scares foreigners away.
yes ive been saying this...Alabang is less expensive BGC/Makati and many rich and famous & filthy rich politicians l😮ves there and also has everything.
@@MarkEdisonAlviz-official I don’t know. But I want Mergim’s take on things. He is the one who I follow regularly so I hope he goes there at some point.
I heard that SM Megamall will undergo a redevelopment soon that will add 20,000 square meters of leasable space and will provide shoppers with brighter, wider hallways, more open spaces & higher ceilings. Parking will also be upgraded with over 1,000 additional parking slots. The redevelopment will commence next month so you may wanna watch out for that and maybe show us the result when it's finally done. Tnx!
There are taxi bays in between 2 buildings of SM megamall and also you can pin your grab there so you wont get soak in the rain. I know its hard to figure out the other entrances and exits if you are not a regular sm megamall goer. There is also shortcut if you are greenfield going to Megamall, just by passing through Shangrila Mall.
Pph 1.4k per night? times 30days is equal to Pph 42,000 and is discounted right? My friend just got back from there 6/2024 telling me you can rent a condo there for a couple hundred bucks not sure if it really exists in around manila coz he went to Pampanga oh yea he said in manila too but I’m guessing it was for a small studio with no view lol.
What I don’t like about most condos here in Metro Manila is the very low ceiling. I’ve always complained about it in the past, like if office buildings can have high floor to ceiling height, why can’t condos and residential buildings have higher ceilings too? This is why a 45 floor office building can be higher than a 60 floor residential building, or both can have the same height.
There is also Capitol Commons, with a really good big supermarket (Unimart). As I said on that previous video where you said we should all live in BGC, I just don't want to live in the over-priced, sterile, pseudo-US city environment. BGC really isn't all it's cracked up to be. I far prefer to be in the general milieu of the actual Philippines. Eleven years living in Metro Manila and I have never once considered living in BGC. But BGC is beloved of foreign vloggers who wax lyrical about it as YT catnip. Those of us who came to live here for reason of work, marriage/family, etc., don't give a sh*t about YT clicks and know that life outside of BGC is actually much more enjoyable and interesting.
"why pay 25k in Mandaluyong when you can just add 5k and move to bgc" stop that bullshit man. Everybody cannot live in BGC. Some people prefer the more quiet gated villages, others prefer the province. So stop making people living in BGC as super humans.
The lobby I grand because this building looks like it is mainly for investment apartments and therefore Airbnb residents, very short term tenants that come and go, so the lobby will get a lot of use at all times.
If the entire Philippines 🇵🇭 pray to our Lord God, the Father through Christ Jesus, to save the Filipinos and the country of the Philippines 🇵🇭 against China 🇨🇳 and its aggression, then He will surely hear our prayers, protect us, and destroy our enemies. 🙏😇😇😇 Let us all unite and pray against them.

@@deusx.machinaanime.3072 You are taking that verse out of context. That verse simply means that prayer helps. It does not say that you God will still answer your prayers if you refuse to repent.
Chairman, that "just chip in P5k more" means a lot for us average earners pinoys. Mid class condos are more affordable than BGC condos. Unless you're teaming up with someone.👌🏻
Given the fact that you make videos showcasing areas in the city and presenting them to your viewers as potential places to live, I think you should be courteous enough to make clear in some way to people to what degree the area is noisy and busy, as as nice as an area may be, the extent of how busy and noisy it is either renders said area a nice place to live, or an awful place to live. Regardless of how many fancy shopping malls it has, what the condominiums look like and how much rent is. I understand and have learned the hard way that your a youtuber and you edit your videos and film at very strategic times of the day to get a nice clean video, but in doing so, whether you are mindful of this or not, you are misleading people to a great degree of what the area would actually be like to live in. And your videos are often as I said of a nature that you are essentially advertising the area as a place to live, so you should be honest and transparent about this. After watching your videos mostly, amoung others on BGC, I was very keen on potentially living there and only just returned to Australia from BGC yesterday. And let me tell you, the city was a very rude fucking shock from the city which you presented to me on your Chanel. Your videos present it as a quiet and peaceful city which is not overly congested by any means, meanwhile, the complete opposite of that is true for the vast majority of the day and night. It is fucking busy as fuck, noisy as fuck. Congested as fuck. You nearly get killed crossing the street every day, constant traffic, loud motor cycles, loud Jeeps, everyone perpetually blasting their horn at all hours. It was fucking awful. I booked a hotel for 4 weeks and had to return home a week early (no refunds) it was so horrible. And I spent a lot of money to go there, which I only have a small amount of which I recently received in a civil court victory against my public housing provider in Australia. I invested a significant amount of money, effort, stress and time visiting BGC and I was outright fucking deceived, whether it was your intention or not. Which is largely my own fault for presuming your videos and others to be accurate presentations of daily life in the city, which they certainly are not. If to any degree, you are truly intending to present potential places to live to your audience, and have any actual concern for people, and are not purely looking to profit from your videos with no regard for anyone's time and money, you should make some small effort at least to give people at least some limited idea of what the city is ACTUALLY like to live in each day as far as how busy it is, how noisy it is, and how congested and overpopulated it is. As I said, this is presuming that you actually have any concern whatsoever for the people who view your videos and are trying to find a place to live their life and spending their time, money and blood sweat and tears doing so.

Using the handicap lift because of your suitcase? Man card REVOKED. 😂😂
It takes more time and efforts to operate the handicap lift than to just lift his luggage hehe
after our studies, we are planning to shift to BGC right now we are living in Manila Valenzuela Marulas.
Mandaluyong City is In the Center of Metro Manila!
BGC is just too convenient imo
Also, the fcking scooters alone is enough for me to pick BGC from other cities 😂
Thanks so much Mergim! Starbucks on us! It was nice meeting you and Justin in person. We wish you success in everything you do.
It was great to meet you! Thank you so much for the Coffee and enjoy your onwards trip around the Philippines :)
I am so bad with heights...just watching him standing there and the view panning around made my legs feel weak. Great video though!
Nice bro
If you live in Greenfields , Ortigas Center choose the condo that is facing the whiteplains area not Makati it has a nice view
Mergim thank you again for showing the Mandaluyong City’s
Condos now me and my husband
we have more idea to choose the more convenient for little of everything to shop for food and etc.thanks for sharing

Mandaluyong had changed so much. I went to school in Mandaluyong many years ago, but I don’t recognise the place anymore.
Wow! P1.4k/night is a good take there. The room is neat at promising in aesthetics. Not bad. Good take. For me, I still love the ambiance of the community in Alabang. It is more quiet and far away from the busy highways of the metro.
Wow Philippines is so rich...very modern.. impressive... Manila has overtaken Dubai in properties sales according to the news.

Living in Ortigas in Mandaluyong is like living in Bangkok. So crowded. BGC is like you're transported in another western country
yes but cleaner, greener, pet friendlier, safer.
Try living in Alabang. No vlogger has featured Alabang
yes ive been saying this...Alabang is less expensive BGC/Makati and many rich and famous & filthy rich politicians l😮ves there and also has everything.
The Juicy Vlog and Make It Happen featured Alabang several times.
@@MarkEdisonAlviz-official I don’t know. But I want Mergim’s take on things. He is the one who I follow regularly so I hope he goes there at some point.
yes, SM pretty much dominates EDSA with a mall at virtually every MRT station. Just like Ayala dominates Makati
Wow Mandaluyong had gone a big improvement from the time I was using the roads there during the 80’s as a student.
that unit is ok for a few days, but i would not be comfortable long term in less than 35SQM. On EDSA just take the MRT
Awesome buildings .

The firm that designed Singapore Changi Airport will do the SM Megamall renovation
Yes...Building A under renovation now
its convenient if you work nearby... but all that highway noise is a no 😅
How do you find these places for rent? What website or app?
Did you really make that poor man operate the disabled lift for you instead lifting your kids sized suitcase up 5 steps?
Absolutely love this region and what it could be. Glad i just found your channel, so many insights into urban PH.
Mandaluyong city from 20 years ago looks so different today. Simple times…
That condo where Mergim was staying used to be along the area of the wet market and transport terminals to East . A.k.a Crossings
I like how Mergim luvs THE BGC. ❤🎉😊
Should have carried your bag.
hi mergim. heading to manila in october
Megamall is close to greenfield. You just have to cross shaw boulevard, then pass through shangri la plaza.
Stay safe and God Bless ! ❤
Maybe Im stronger than most British males but I can lift a heavy suitcase 3 steps no problem. Just shows you how stronger Filipinos are.
It's full of gold bars inside, but he didn't want to mention it.
A very late comment

How heavy is your carry on that you couldnt go up like 5 steps 😂
I was wondering about that too. There is a handle to lift it, isn’t it?
I can't believe what I just saw. Did you really just use a handicap lift to take your luggage up a few steps? hahaha.
Pph 1.4k per night? times 30days is equal to Pph 42,000 and is discounted right?

Mandaluyong is in the middle of Metro Manila so you are in the center of everything on the metro that is why it is also nice to live there
mrt too
Very helpful to those planning on a quick getaway in Asia.
'I feel like a bit of a moron using this lift... but it is what it is..' - Yes, it clearly is.
Thank you for showing us around Mergim.
It's ok for one night and that's it. Sardine can living isn't for me.
Try the emerald avenue in ortigas. The wall street of pasig
Emerald Avenue that's closed off to traffic on Sundays with pickleball courts and kids riding bikes has a very neighborhood feel
Hi Mergim, can you also please create a content about Solaire in Vertis North in Quezon City? It's beside the Trinoma Mall and close to SM North Edsa
The laziness of using the disability lift is kinda silly 😁
Yes you are right less traffic maybe in BGC
Yes lots of condos are building up, especially here in pasay ,in aseana
Try MOA SEASHORE
Try flair towers. Next door to fame

Don't like BGC, nothing particular to the Philippines. I would go to a condo in Thailand or Vietnam and get more for your money over BGC.
BGC looks too artifical to me. It does not feel real
Lovely

How is a walk-in closet sized space called a condo?!
It's good that they cater to many price ranges.

The lobby I grand because this building looks like it is mainly for investment apartments and therefore Airbnb residents, very short term tenants that come and go, so the lobby will get a lot of use at all times.
Imagine there is express train connecting BGC, Makati and Ortigas loop? Commute will be quicker and will ease EDSA traffic.
