EPIC $100 Challenge In MODERN PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ต.ค. 2024
- I decided to take on the challenge to see how far $100 could go in BGC, the modern area of Manila in the Philippines. @GoWithAli and I were able to spend most of the day in BGC exploring and doing a number of different activities including getting a shave, eating food/ desert and hiring scooters. This place is epic and I could definitely see myself living in this area.
This is 1 video of the many videos from my TH-cam vlog series about my time in the Philippines, you can find the entire playlist of videos here: • PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭

I like this guy. So friendly and a good discoverer. He is one of the best vloggers ive known. He deserves millions of subscribers.
wow thats so kind of you, i really appreciate it
I agree 👍👍👍
He’s my fav vlogger super 💙
@@harryjaggardtravel oh yes 👌🏻👌🏻
Harry Pogi
finally, a foreign visitor who's genuinely nice.
They have the best bananas and mangoes in the world over in the Philippines. Even the ones they import from Mexico and Thailand and sell in L.A. are not as delicious as the ones that are harvested in the Philippines. Maybe the actual land, the soil has something to do with it.
the mangoes are certainly the best in the world
@@harryjaggardtravel The soil in the Philippines is coastal and volcanic, unlike that in Thailand or Mexico.
dude, they definitely don't have the best Bananas, Mangoes are great in the Philippines.
@@lastyle7363 We'll have to agree that we disagree on that (bananas).
Because of the volcanic soil
So glad you liked it and there are lots of international cuisines scattered there in BGC and of good quality...
I find this really entertaining! Pretty impressive how you kept your camera going. Thanks for sharing this blog. Have a great time in the Philippines!
It is really a modern and clean city, the people are kind and polite, thanks for sharing！👍😄👏
See that fried steak more clearly in your video, looks very appealing！
When you made cream on Ali's nose, I found out you a funny genius！
Videos are always the best and funniest when both you shot together！
那真的是現代化又乾淨的一個城市，人民善良又有禮，
在你的影片更清楚的看到那塊炸牛排，看起來吸引人，
當你把奶油弄在阿里的鼻子，我發現你是有趣的天才，
當你們兩位在一起拍片時，影片總是最好看，最有趣！
thanks yes i agree i enjoy it more with ali!
@@harryjaggardtravel You are most welcome, thanks to you too, the pleasure is mine！
I really like you both and your videos, really great！
Both you look like super stars, if you continue to cooperate, you both will be very successful！👍😃👏
@@harryjaggardtravel please try eating in spiral buffet at sofitel hotel manila. Unlimited Filipino food and other cuisines with unlimited Filipino desserts and more. It's a once in a lifetime experience and a must when you are in manila. Also unlimited chocolate and cheese.
@@harryjaggardtravel By the way, bubble tea originates from Tainan, the hometown of director Ang Lee（Crouching tiger hidden dragon／Life of Pi）:
The oldest known bubble tea drink consisted of a mixture of hot Taiwanese black tea, tapioca pearls, condensed milk, and syrup or honey.
Tapioca pearls (boba) are the most common ingredient, although there are other ways to make the chewy spheres found in bubble tea.
The pearls vary in color according to the ingredients mixed in with the tapioca. Most pearls are black from brown sugar.
The official English name should be "milk tea with tapioca balls".
Bubble tea（literal translation*）＝Boba tea（pronunciation translation／larger size balls）＝Pearl tea（smaller size balls）
*bubble：originally it was referring to those foams, which were teas made from shaker cups.
In Taiwan, boba can be replaced with the following:
coconut jelly, aloe vera, pudding, popping boba, herbal jelly, mini mochi, ect...
P.S. In Taiwan, the sellers don't ask customers to shake their drinks, they handle it by their machine!
@@giannishen are you Taiwanese?
Harry, you are one funny dude. Love those dry, perfectly timed, one-liners. You'll do good as a stand-up comic should you consider. The Mark Wein impression cracks me up. This episode, just like the previous ones is funny and entertaining. Looking forward to more of this, thank you! Be safe brother.
thanks so much brother but stand up is not for me!
Its really modern area thanx for showing us❤from india
This must be a lovely video!!!..those foods look palatable..good job, Harry ❤
I can see that you are kind and good man who is very grounded with a touch of humor. God speed and bless you more🙏🏻🔥🕊💞🙌🏻🍀❤️
Also I love the lengthy videos you do!!!!
thanks i will try to keep doing them!
Awesome!! I’ll share this on my TH-cam 💪
Hello guys. If you have enough time, I would suggest you, Ali & Dani to visit Tagatay. Lots of restaurants and cafes there with a view of TAAL Volcano. It's just an hour from Manila. Please do enjoy the landscapes of the Philippines.
thanks i will try to!
Yes the view of the smallest active volcano in the world, breath taking then proceed to Nasugbu white sand beaches after spending a few days in Tagaytay (Bulalo is the most famous dish there and Tawilis), the Starbucks have a spectacular view, been to a few Starbucks in d world, but the best view/location I've been is still in the Philippines.
You look younger after the shave and massage thank you for for coming to the Philippines
@@filomenadabatos6614 I noticed that, too. He looks fresh and younger.
Goodluck with the traffic LOL
Youve only explored the Bonifacio High Street area (shopping district). BGC consists of 5 districts and has been around since the 90s. The one that opened in 2018 is the Uptown Mall, not the entire city itself.
You look so much younger after the shave and facial massage !!!!! Excellent service and everything you had eaten are all to die for.
Hope you enjoy your stay here in the Philippines. Explore more, its more fun in the Philippines.
The is not the end of BCG after Mind Museum are more restaurants and bar and that is where the night life starts! Which you totally miss out!
Of all the vloggers I watch you are one of the genuine my guy.
Try visiting a foodcourt inside a Shopping Mall, Harry. You will certainly have a variety of delicious meal options than just a paella at a reasonable price.
great idea! i will go
@@harryjaggardtravel Yes. Very reasonable prices and choices are great. You can try at Glorietta 4 food court in Makati, Rockwell Power Plant mall food hall in Makati or SM Aura Taguig BGC, another big mall in BGC. Just near BGC High Street.
Wow Philippines is very beautiful, enjoy harry potter ☺️ amazing vlog as usual
Remember the modernity of BGC ok? I can't wait for you to check out the other provinces and islands! It will blow your mind at how diverse the Philippines is! You may find it a bit tough to get around some of the islands as they are sporadically spread and could only be accessed by boat and plane but I look forward to your vlogs about them. You will absolutely have a great time with Ali and Dany. Tagaytay, Batanes, Vigan, Cebu, Bohol, Iloilo, Guimaras, Sagada, Baguio, Siargao, Camiguin, Boracay, Palawan, take your pick! Different places with different experiences.
coming soon!
I’m travelling to Siargoa this week. Please give me tips @jennybasa..
@@harryjaggardtravel baguio city is a go to!
In BGC, you need to go to the Iconic Mall called Venice Grand Canal Mall. You will be stunned to find Venice in the Philippines. There will be lots of places to eat, so get there in the AM to have a full experience of the place.
lmao. Venice mall sucks if you're from Europe.
coming soon
@@MrWackydoodles other foreigner vloggers that went there are actually shocked that it was accurate copy of the venice canal and all the other details but it was smaller.
@@hyuka9544 theyre just overpatronizing for the views. If youve been to Europe there’s no way that youll find that place amusing.
I like how you really appreciate the food that it makes me want to try those restaurants the next time I go home to the Philippines
Marvelous city planning. That is so great. Green 💚💚💚💚
Wow I have been to the Philippines 10 times and specially BGC but not in the last five years After watching you in the Philippines I am booking my trip for August.
And yes, BGC is not cheap and so is Edsa and Makati. I like Index Massage and hair Salon.
I don't know if Road house restaurant still in BGC but I had the best raw oysters there.
Really enjoy these regular daily uploads
thanks alot
I think you’re going to stay in Philippines forever. You seem to be having so much fun there.
Love it 🥰 can’t wait for more!!!!
Happy to see you enjoy staying here in the Philippines Harry. After citylife, try exploring the beauty of our beaches like in Palawan, Cebu and Boracay in Aklan.
He's in Makati ~ Every time I land in Manila, its $100 a day ~ Get to Cebu, It's 1/2 the price $50 a day ~ From the USA ~ I hate Makati!
coming very soon
@@KingNewJersey yes because makati is a very rich here so thats makes it also expensive to live there 😅✌🏻
@@KingNewJersey You chose one of the most expensive areas to experience the Philippines. You did it to yourself lol
Makati is for Sex Tourists. It's great. No other reason to go there if you are a regular tourist.@@KingNewJersey
Exploring Philippines with Ali bro is quite enjoyable
Can’t wait for more vlogs, Harry! You’re a great storyteller thats for sure
WOW. LOL
I did not realize I had been watching you for almost 50 minutes! Very entertaining content! Good job!
Wow 🤩🤩😍😍😍Philippines bgc is so cool and so modern... I didn't expect this from Philippines.
I regret nasdaily for showing bad about Philippines
Love from 🇮🇳to all Philippines🇵🇭
i didnt expect it either!
not to defend nasdaily but some of his videos showed the other side of the Philippines, yes we do have what we call the business capital of the National Capital Region (NCR) which is MAKATI CITY and BGC in TAGUIG CITY, but we also have the fair share of the poorest of the poor, the Filipino people who are categorized as the marginalized society or at the hem of the society. In general, Filipinos are known for being genuinely hospitable, polite, happy people, easy to get along with, and generous, but we must also keep in mind that like in other countries, we also have the "red necks" of the Philippines.
Nas daily focus more on the negative sides about the Philippines same with project nightfall
@@mrbest8107 don't worry bro, he also do the same with India too.. He's like dhruvv rathee, all doing for views. But wr all know how much developed our country are from the people heart
@@harryjaggardtravel fun fact: Do you know that we have a white sand beach in the middle of Manila? Check out the man-made beach in Manila Bay. It's still work in progress but you can give it a glimpse there to make people aware of it
its such a great Representation that The Filipino Spanish Foods has so delicious. Philippines are colonized by the spanish. Hope you enjoyed stay here in the Philippines. Many Foreign Filipinos and Celebrities as well are living here as well in The Philippines. Enjoy amd Have Fun Guys Hope in your next vlog we recommend to try to Island Hopping Like Cebu Province the Moalboal there are many Vlogger who also featured those most visited island here in the Philippines🙂😊
Are you guys not considering to visit our islands and beaches so could feel the tropical side of the Philippines. Beach in the Philippines are the best in the world. Enjoy
The “civilized Philippines” got me tummy aches out of laughing 😂 You’ll definitely be in awe how one island differ from the other. One sec you’re in the city, then one plane away, you’ll find yourself in the countryside or the beach paradise. And believe me, Filipinos are friendly! Sometimes they might just not know what to say, but they give smiles for free. Anyway, enjoy your stay! Hope you learn more about the diverse culture and discover a lot of fun stuff.
You are in poor side of town, do you think they are the same mentality. Filipino has different culture and has 11 dialects based in the history. It was colonized by Spain more than 333 years and America in 50 years.
@@Tom-mx4li we have over 120 languages and dialects. The 11 you mentioned are not dialects btw, they are languages.
@@yeetah42025 Based in the HISTORY stated 11 dialects and different culture itselves taught also in School.
@@Tom-mx4li Are you Filipino? Hiligaynon, Tagalog, Cebuano, Waray, Ilocano, etc. are all different languages NOT dialects.
@@Tom-mx4li I suggest you look it up. We have 120 languages and dialects over here. I don't understand why you keep on saying "11 dialects" only. lol
i've commented on Ali's channel, the 3 of you make an absolutely amazing trio, very entertaining and exciting to watch. Would really love and hope to see more from you, Dany and Ali together again!
Everything in BGC can get expensive but service and quality always top notch.
This is a great video Po Harry. I love following all of your adventures
Thank you so much for sharing with us Brother
Very cool vlog Harry , your my new favourite TH-camr been watching heaps loving the journey :) $40 for what you got at that barber is a bargain 🥰 he did an amazing job :)
First time I've watched a vlogger master maneuver BGC
thanks sire
Oh Dany is there I always watching him her vlog welcome back to the Philippines Dany and take care guy’s your so very nice to give some people bless you Harry 👍👍👍
That "burnt" FRIED rice is a mark of a great paella, whether in Spain or in the Philippines. Locally, it's called "tutong" and happens only when the rice being fried is left a little longer in the hot pan.
Socarrat
In the province, tutong is food for dogs or food for poor people.
thats my favourite bit
@@Kuyabakas Excuse me??
@@littlesparrow1284 Socarrat in Filipino? I have not heard Pinoys refer to it as soccarat...siguro para sa mga sosyal na Pinoy na palaging kumakain ng paella, sa Spain?...tutong pa rin for "ordinary" Pinoys
Hi Harry I just subcribed to your channel. Enjoy your stay here in our humble country. Waiting for more vlogs.
Be careful Garry you have one hand holding bike and the other hand on camera thank you for sharing the view I love it I’m in London
Can’t wait for you guys to try the provinces where you get to meet the most beautiful beaches in the world! Please always take care and more followers to come! 🤍🙏🏻
Spanish and Filipino food are quite similar since Philippines was colonized by Spain more than 333
years.
Neither is renowned for it's cuisine.
Well, bananas grow everywhere here LOL so they end up as desserts like banana cue, turon, minatamis, pudding, cake, and even in savory food like nilaga.. those are just on top off my head. I'm sure there are other foods as well using banana.
im not complaining!
😁😁😁😁
It also ends up as Catsup!!! Banana catsup for the win!!!
@@harryjaggardtravel try spiral buffet at sofitel hotel manila. One of the best restaurant in terms of quality of food. Filipino food and other cuisines, desserts, unlimited eat all you can and it is very famous in the world. One of the best! Many vloggers have eaten there and they highly recommend it.
@@harryjaggardtravel at least you will be up on your potassium levels at the least 😅
Recommendations: For off the beaten path island destinations in the Philippines, do the Tao Philippines Expedition, Balabac in Palawan and Dumunpalit island in Coron.. and other hidden gems in Romblon, Suquijor, Guimaras, Batanes up north of Luzon, Palaui island in Cagayan, south of Luzon or Bicol region the Caramoan islands, Mount Mayon etc, Catanduanes, etc.. lots of places to visit..
3:30 Grabe! Ang ganda ni ate!
Looks like you had a awesome day at BGC, so many things to do! Good to see some longer videos 😁. Keep up the great work sire!
thanks sireee
The clean shave and massage is the best Po Harry. That's what I love about going back home.
I miss Phillipines now when ever I see you 3 there enjoying. My wife Filipina is there for ElternZeit 3 months so I need it to stay here in Germany coz I cant get more then 2 weeks f vaccantion :D. Was 2 times in PH and both times I need it to quit my job :D :D :D coz first time was 2 months and second 1.5months. I have here also Taro and tapioka inside of Taro so nice milk tea.
welcome and enjoy the PHILIPPINES....its more fun and refreshing here
Looking great after that relaxing shave. Milktea is becoming famous here in the country so you'll surely see more of them in your next trip.
Hey, that vlogger with you is my favorite vlogger traveling the Philippines. He is very kind, Ali!!
Welcome back php, enjoy life 😊👍🇵🇭☝️🙂🙏
As much as I've understood, most of the places there were quite expensive as compared to other places that you guys had visited. But liked the vlog that was been made with your friends!!
Money well spent 😌 Sire. Especially the shave and the massage 💆♂️ Manila looks very modern and so clean. Yes I can see you settling down in Manilla someday Harry Sire ! Great fun content 👌
thanks sire it is definitely liveable!
@@harryjaggardtravel 🙏❤
Remember metro manila is actually a big city this is a small part of manila there are also other parts of manila that is modern but bgc is well designed there are a lot of trees around and modern buildings but the sad thing the transportation still missing
amazing keep up the good work
You look great with that haircut.you look young!
Hello, Harry new subscriber here. Enjoying your explorations update of Philippines, looking forward to see more fun experiences on your next vlogs, stay safe always. I love your energy.
Ha! Just saw Ali's vlog eating Paella. I noticed Tim Horton's in your Thumbnail, love Tim Horton's. Used to live in Toronto 🇨🇦Love their Coffee and the amazing Chicken Salad Sandwich.👍Watching from SF CA 🇺🇲.
This brand come to PH these 2 years .
They open a lot of branch in PH
@@czoe6733 Thanks for the info. Appreciate it👍
The shaving, massage and pampering fit for a king. :)
Love your content 🔥🔥👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just discovered you today and ended up watching 4 Philippines videos! Cheers Bro, great work. Card Roulette! Love it!
I like your sense of humour Harry.. Filipinos like me can relate to your jokes. 🤣😎
This is how to tell you're cultured without saying your cultured.
thanks alot sir paul
@@bashersbeware haha 🤣✌️ agree
i'm going to visit Manila in July i will definetely look for Albert at Back Alley men's salon to have a haircut and try La Picara and tiger sugar.
you could find quality restaurants, but cheaper resultants in BGC. but I've guessed they got great reviews that why their much more expensive.
Great episode and it made me decide to subscribe !!
With just few days of stay in the urban centers, you'd see the real gem of the Philippines are its own people. Explore the provinces and remote areas of the country and you'd see why.
Super vlog Harry machan🇱🇰
Thank you very much for your great appreciation to our hard working security guards. I would challenge you to interview one and for sure he has a lot to tell. They work hard to earn a living❤️🇵🇭
Hellow Harry,good to see you have a new upload.
Love BGC , no skipping ads 👍😁
Security guards in the Philippines are the best. They know everything. lol like if you're in doubt about anything ask the security guard, they would know what to do. lol. If you're lost, ask the guard. If you're not sure about how to go about things like in banks or any business center or office, ask the guard. Idk but in my experience here in Ph, the guards are the go to people if you have questions. And most of them are really really nice people.
Harry now is refreshing❤️💚Very handsome😍Danny has no voice hehehe
thanks
New sub's here...a pinoy working in Saudi Arabia...enjoy your vacation,Philippines has more to offer..Harry,Ali and Dan.
Try eating at Toyo Eatery. It’s among the 50 Best Restaurants in Asia. It’s in Makati City.
My best restaurant
Is my mom's cooking💟
guys go to the bay area okada manila and mall of asia and conrad hotel and spiral buffet are the best
Harry you have to visit the provinces of Philippines Cebu,sairgao and Bohol province♥️🇵🇭
coming soon
Hi herry magndang gabie enjoy here in manila philippines be careful ALWAYS ingat ka palagi watching you from dumaguete city negros oriental philippines
Welcome to the Philippines ♥️♥️♥️
You are amazing harry and your videos are always amazing . you are gonna be the number one .
Harry ,when you said Jelly Balls were you referring to "Tapioca"? Seems like a great drink to get the energy going. Once again a very entertaining video and enjoying watching the lovely hospitality of the Philippines. Wonderful!
thanks maz im not too sure the name of it if im honest
Black Pearls.
You can also call it boba or pearls
@@iflipover Wow ,thank you! Now I know too😍👍
@@harryjaggardtravel You are welcome and keep discovering the tasty beverages of the Philippines ❤️
Try to visit Venice Grand Canal in Taguig,,, nice video so entertaining wish you can explore more places here in the Philippines
you look more younger after that barbershop experience 😂, its quite expensive but worth it 😀
Nice vlog Harry.. Keep it up!!
Philippines was influenced by Spanish and American. It is not typical Asian. It was dubbed as Paris of Asia.
i don't know if being dubbed as the paris of asia is a good thing or a bad thing lol
@@unclestan 😂👌🇵🇭😍
@@unclestan It was long time ago dubbed as Paris of Asia during American era of Philippines. Read Philippines History you Do not know because you are not Filipino.
@@Tom-mx4li stop this bs. Ako ay isang Pilipino at si Daniel Burnham ang maalala kong nagsabi niyan. Hindi niya tinawag na Paris of Asia. In shorter term, he called it like the 'West in the East'. So he laid the Manila Plan but didn't worked out because the WWII broke out. It never became the Paris of Asia and being Paris was never been a compliment.
3,000 for 2 is certainly expensive even for BGC. If you’re really hungry you may want to try The Alley at BGC, for around ~900 each you can have an international street food inspired buffet, including unlimited beer, coffee and cocktails.
M Bakery is a New York bakery chain. Next time pass by Conti’s, a Filipino cake shop and cafe, my fave there is Banana Dream but they are known for their Mango Bravo.
Well known Filipino restaurants in BGC that you may want to go to are Mesa, Crisostomo or Max’s for casual dining. Or Mang Inasal’s for more of a fast food grilled chicken fare (similar to Nando’s).
thanks alot for the recommendations, it was abit pricey!
@@harryjaggardtravel I live in BGC and I must say that I only go to those types of restaurants for occasions like a date, birthday, or a casual business meeting. There’s plenty more affordable places along the strip.
And BTW, most sit down restaurants have an additional 10-15% “service charge” on top of the price displayed on the menu. Since like most countries in Asia, tipping is optional here. Gratuities are already added on the final bill so we don’t have do the math. The collected extra charge are then divided equally to the staff.
@@harryjaggardtravel try spiral buffet at sofitel manila. Many famous foreign TH-camrs have eaten there, jp and Julia, Mikey Chen of strictly dumpling, Mark wiens, and local TH-camrs such as hungry Syrian wanderer.
i agree，im a foreigner live in Bgc, u can find a lot of good food around 1000 for 2
Pls try Din Tai Fen
and TimHowan .
It's a restaurant from HongKong,very good dim sum .
1star Michelin Red Guide
and cut hair for man is less 1000 in other smaller store in BGC,they perhaps hidden in the 2nd floor . I remember is around 400-700.I think they charge the product u use
You didn’t go at Forbestown burgos circle. Just walk straight some more cross the street mind museum. Great vibe at night over there. You just stayed on the highstreet
Even ASEAN countries like the Philippines is becoming modern cities nowadays, seeing snow in Europe such as in the UK is a dream come true for me as a Filipino.
Your fellow Brit made a video about Balabac Islands in Palawan, it's worth checking. Joel Friend's Balabac series insane!
The young couples brit..OMG I love them. Very good content creator. I love thier personality 😍
Thanks for liking my Country and I like your Vlogs
my pleasure
Im hooked by this series can't wait till you guys get to the islands!
Taiwan is friendly country right at the northern tip of the Philippines. Almost similar to Chinese culture. Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea & Japan are among the top visited countries by Filipinos because of its proximity in the Philippines and the cold climate there are among the top things which Filipinos are really looking forward to.
Plus the Filipino ancestors came from Taiwan, though they are not the han-chinese, they are the natives of taiwan
when my mom work thier she said they are kind person
I really love your vlogs.
For the amount you spent at the barber, you should have tipped him 200 pesos. I saw you gave Kuya Alvin (you kept calling him Albert even if he already said Alvin when he washed your hair) only 70 pesos. Tipping is part of Filipino culture thanks to the American influence. 10% minimum tip for barber is customary.
Hi Hurry,I’m a new subscriber and thank you for showing my country to the world.im enjoying your videos your such a kind a good man keep up the good content...thank you and god bless...❤️❤️❤️
That was so generous of you giving that big tip in tiger sugar . You made their day.
Justice for Kuya Alvin at the barbershop who got such a small tip.
@@rivenadeshizzle they ripped him off with lots of BS.
