Welcome back to our motherland Chris and Carol. Always heartwarming to see foreigners sharing and loving their experiences in our beloved Philippines 🇵🇭 ❤ looking forward to your other videos.
I remember discovering your channel during lockdown when you were in El Nido with The Delightful Travellers. How time flies and you guys are still making awesome videos ☺️
I remembered you mentioned that most tourists travellers are advised to skip Manila and just go straight to the islands. I think metro manila has so much to offer to tourists. Not to mention, 2 hours away there's a beautiful beach in Batangas and along the way is tagaytay which has the most picturesque view of taal volcano.
If foreign tourist who are going to Philippines are skipped Manila or Metro Manila they are missed half of their visit in the Philippines.Manila or Metro Manila is the most modern places in the Philippines, this capital city of Philippines is the center of highly industrialization and great entertainment in Philippines, many many foreign expats are living there including foreign bloggers. they will truly enjoy and shop till they drop to this modern capital city.
I'm in manila, and I advise everyone to skip it honestly. Everywhere I go, i get pestered from homeless children for money and it's extremely hard to say no to. There is just too much poverty to enjoy. It makes me sad.
Just enjoyed the Manila video very much, it looks a wonderful place to visit and one day hopefully I will get on that plane from England and witness what Manila and the Philippines has to offer. 🏴 ❤️🇵🇭
Sir, You are most welcome anytime. Manila has many to offer from Hospitable people, Historical Places, the New High Tech Skyscraper Makati, Mandaluyong, BGC, a variety of Delicious foods, authentic Filipino Foods, the Biggest Malls in the world like Mall Of Asia, Mega Mall, SM North Edsa and beautiful beaches in provinces like Boracay, El Nido Palawan, Surfing Capital Siargao Island Surigao, Moal Boal Cebu, Chocolate Hills Bohol, Night Markets In Davao, Gen. Santos Tuna Capital, and many more to visit and explore. Thank you for your interest to visit our beautiful island nation the Philippines. Mabuhay!!!🥰
If you guys ever have the time, try visiting las casas Filipinas de Acuzar in bagac, bataan. It's pretty much a recreation of what the Philippines look like hundreds of years ago. The old houses there are real and you can actually sleep on them because the place is also a hotel.
we are happy to see both of you back in Philippines.we Filipino support foreign bloggers who comes to Philippines.many foreign vloggers make the Philippines their second home.
Your background research is very accurate. Most people do not realize the Philippines has "similar" vibes as Central/South America, incl some "social" problems and politics. I've been to a number of the Lat Am countries, working outside of the big cities, from fruits and vegies to some cultural practices are very similar. PH to some is the Mexico of Asia. 200 years of shared heritage with Mexico, that's a looooong time, speaking of which the Day of Dead is coming up. 😉
Yes, I also had a classmate in the Philippines who is a descendant of Native Americans who migrated to the Philippines centuries ago through the galleon trade. The Nat-Am facial features are still evident. There's even a town in Pampanga province that was named after Mexico because many of its inhabitants are of Mexican-descent.
In Ilocos Sur was one of the Spanish Architecture found.Thank you for showcasing our Spanish heritage in the world.. Stay Safe and vlog more, the Philippines beautiful tourist attractions.
I'm a Filipino. I really the way you feature our the places you've been true. I just can feel like your being honest and not sugar-coating your comments of what you've seen here. More power to your journeys.
Really enjoying your travel content. So authentic & down to earth. My husband even likes watching now & subscribed. We’re off to Turkey soon and your vlogs really helped us know what to expect & plan better. You really have brought back so much inspiration and have now caught the travel bug! Thank you! Blessed travels ahead ☺️
Good to see you guys back in the Philippines 🇵🇭 👌it's where I first discovered your vlog. I think it's the first time I've seen Carol in a dress!!! Yehey!!! Nice video as usual, thanks. 🙂
Welcome to the Philippines chris and carol! You came to the right place but at the wrong time.. It's rainy season my friends... I still hope you'll enjoy your stay! Stay safe and dry! We love you both!😂😂😍
I used to go there in Fort Santiago during my college day it’s been a while maybe I’ll try to visit that place on my next vacation . Watching your vlogg from San Francisco, Ca 🇺🇸🇵🇭
Hey Chris and Carol, glad you were back to explore again the Philippines. My simple advise if you would, try the northern part of the Philippines, many options to explore from those places, and the Batanes Island, the place of the indigenous people, "Ibatan", there were touristy places there that might surprise you. Good luck to both of you and enjoy your stay! Stay safe too.
Great to know you are back. Hope you stay longer for more places to visit. Thank you for being one of my stress reliever during the lockdown. Be Blessed!
Really enjoyed this video where you showed the contrast between BGC/Makati and Binondo. Never knew Manila was this expansive in terms of what it offers. I always wondered what BGC was like, but now I know, through your lens. Through out it all, you showcased the food and the warmth of the people, which truly are 2 great reasons for visiting the Philippines. By the way, I loved the music track that played right after you walked & drove by Ayala Avenue. Great video! Loved it.
Very nice indeed! You two , you both rigidly describe and illustrate everything you see , which is to me is very interesting . I aim to visit the place one day so all that I heard and see from both of you is very important . 👍
You had a nice visit there of different places in Metro Manila. 🙂 You may want to visit the city of Vigan in the Northwestern part of the Philippines...it's also similar to Intramuros...with Spanish architecture preserved but much larger...
I really enjoyed it, the historical side of things is always great way of understanding the locals better! It makes me want to look more into it and learn! Fascinating Have fun Sabrina🇫🇷🇬🇧 I know what’s coming up is going to be fabulous ❤🎉
Binondo is the first and oldest Chinatown in the world guys, established in 1594. Also, Intramuros won Asia’s Leading Tourist Attraction in the 29th World Travel Awards held in Vietnam. :)
Nice of you to show the slums too. Muchas Gracias! Brazil is good. We'll take your corned beef anytime. Better not go inside the Cathedral in case there's another earthquake.
I like the ratio between fact information and music b-role I like how you narrate that is clear and understandable the way the video is edited and cut and transitions very clean I enjoy watching the whole video welcome back again :)
I know you prefer island beaches and falls the reason you are back in the country but glad you stayed in the city for a few days and featured Intramuros a little bit of history before you travel to the provinces. You needed a city stay since travel involves ferry and long bus rides to the provinces too. If you go to Ilocos, esp. Vigan, you’ll be able to visit a colonial town with still active/working colonial buildings and houses. While walking in the cobbled stones, you thought you’re transported back in the old times. You’ll definitely see colonial churches in different towns throughout the course of your visit both the North, South and the Visayas. Try visit Paoay church since the design is very different from other towns. It’s baroque and Javanese style. Paoay church is the oldest in Ilocos built in the late 1500 to withstand earthquakes. Be safe in your travels to the off beaten path. Typhoon season is still not over in the country. Flooding and no power is always the result of it and you don’t want to be stuck on your second or third visit this time
Pleasant good day to both of you guys again you're back and we're glad to look forward and excited on your upcoming videos here in the country,thank you keep safe always and God blessed 👍😊
Congratulations to you guys in Manila, The Philippines this weekend in great joy.I wish you guys good LUCK in great joy 2022.I hope new videos are coming up soon next week 2022❤❤❤
Oh! Welcome back! So nice of u to make this video❤️ I miss makati esp salcedo market😋I worked in makati for 18 yrs and i just love that place🥰 i really love ur videos 💕 glad to know ur staying for 2 months and u can visit many places here. Enjoy and stay safe 🥰
There are so many Spanish style building in the Philippines, and you can see the in Las Casa de Acuzar or Heritage Park in Bagac, Bataan, Vigan Ilocos Sur, Nueva Ecija, La Umion, and many parts of the country from north to south, west to east. In Cebu, there's even a place like Rome. It will take you guys 20 years or more to finish exploring. I would love to see you both making the Philippines as your second home because the country is the social media capital of the world. Stay safe and God bless.
They are most of all beach people and they don’t stay or settle in big cities like other foreign vloggers in the country. They’re travel vloggers and like to “jump places”. Most of their videos featured beaches from different countries they visited.
@@ethiehetherington5086 Yes, that’s why they are back to check other islands and beaches they haven’t visited before. They were in the country last 2020 and their travel was cut short during the pandemic. I think they stayed for months in El Nido while waiting for a go signal to leave. So now, they’re back to continue what they miss
9:11 That's Spanish-Filipino colonial architecture. It's unique to the Philippines. It combines native designs with Spanish designs, exemplified by the use of capiz shells on the window panes, instead of glass. It evolved from the native houses on stilts, with the stilt area becoming enclosed in stone. 15:19 Not just Intramuros. The majority of Manila was destroyed. Hence why there are so few colonial-era buildings remaining.
@Angry Kittens Hello, recognize you from other channel I enjoy (Susie in the Phil). You always present informative & interesting info; if I recall correctly, both re: history & also natural ie botanical info. Ty! I read another comment that Manila was only 2nd to Warsaw in destruction to the city & perhaps causalities in a city-not sure on that- in WW2. I knew already that it was decimated, devastated. Relatives told me as Japan retreated & even after their surrender, their policy remained destruction in retreat.💔🙏🏽
Also, you touched on pet peeve of mine, I knew there was Filipino influence to architecture & arts etc, not factually or details; but just sensed it looking at things (without a formal arts training). So thanks for presenting that. Bothers me when some seem to think the Phil civilization began with Spain. Simple wiki read could inform one on that. Not that these creators are guilty of that, they seem very respectful & interested. I’m new to them but that seems evident.
@@wintersojourn9356 Yes. It's frustrating to hear people call it a "Spanish house", when it is actually a style of architecture that is uniquely Filipino. It's more accurate really to describe it as a native "bahay kubo" (native wood/bamboo and thatch houses on stilts) that were rebuilt in stone and "modernized" (relatively) with Spanish building practices. Because that is precisely what happened. These houses evolved within the Principalia, the largely native/mixed colonial aristocratic class (descended from the pre-colonial nobility). More than a few retain pre-colonial elements (like thatched roofs, or patterns meant to evoke woven bamboo). You can also see the non-stone versions of commoners during the same period to understand that the majority of the elements of the Filipino ancestral houses are native. Like the fully wooden/bamboo Mabini Shrine, the ancestral house of Apolinario Mabini. It's basically that house, just rebuilt in stone and clay roof tiles. The architectural style doesn't exist in Spain or Latin America. Although a caveat: a few houses included in the "ancestral houses" category have more standard European designs, but these are the ones that were usually owned by actual Spanish families. Not by the native/mestizo aristocracy.
@Angry Kittens Hello! If you have time/inclination, I thought of you as on another Phil lifestyle channel I follow, a commenter posed cultural & historic questions about folk dance in Phil, & other questions that I thought you could address. She is a sweet lady, & so far nobody seems to have answers for her. Her name is Khelesie Salvatore, & her reply/question is in most recent vlog 12-6 or 12-7-2022 in the vlog That Philippines Life. She has more than one comment throughout the vlog’s reply section, but the comment about dance history in Phil. is the one to which I’m referring. Ty 4 ur consideration, AK, & Ty Jumping Places.
*_Oh wow this is such a good surprise. I followed your journey and watched your whole 2020 lockdown videos in EL Nido. Never really thought you'd be back because I thought maybe you already had enough of Philippines. Hehe. Anyway, welcome back!_*
Great content. Thank you! Btw, real ube has natural vibrant purple color. No artificial coloring needed. Different variety from a sweet potato and yam. Some servers use part yam and part real ube which sometimes artificial coloring is added. Ube’s texture is unique as well. It is much more stickier than yam. Ube is grown mostly in the northern and mountain part of the Philippines where climate is colder.
TIPS FOR EATING FILIPINO FOOD, SOMETIMES U GOTA HAVE SAWSAWAN ON A SIDE/AKA DIP OR SAUCE, TO DUNK YOUR FISH,GRILLED MEAT, OR ANY OTHER FOOD, SAWSAWAN MIX OF CALAMANSI, TOYO/SOY SAUCE, SUKA/VINIGAR, OR PATIS, OR CHILLI OIL , U JUST MIX THEM HOW EVER YOULIKE.
BGC is not pretentious. It showcased a new modern business and lifestyle center. Many other new areas in the country drew their inspirations from BGC. It’s a 240 hectare development. There are schools and places of worship in the district… it’s not all about money.
This toxic mentality is what kills this country. Who said that BGC was pretentious. Are you saying that because some places are poor we cannot enjoy having places like BGC? Throw that marxist mentality of yours.
Welcome back to the Philippines I feel more homesick and jealous watching your adventure in the Philippines again my last Balikbayan Trip was last 2018 🇵🇭🇺🇸 Fil Am from San Francisco , Ca

Yap to protect them during the peak of the pandemic since big cities like Manila isn't so safe to tour around yet.
I'm in manila, and I advise everyone to skip it honestly. Everywhere I go, i get pestered from homeless children for money and it's extremely hard to say no to. There is just too much poverty to enjoy. It makes me sad.
Manila doesnt offer much to tourist when compared to other Asian capital cities. But the Islands are some of the best in Asia. Promote whats good,
i really miss Philippines ... mabuhay....watching from angola africa

There are so many Spanish style building in the Philippines, and you can see the in Las Casa de Acuzar or Heritage Park in Bagac, Bataan, Vigan Ilocos Sur, Nueva Ecija, La Umion, and many parts of the country from north to south, west to east. In Cebu, there's even a place like Rome. It will take you guys 20 years or more to finish exploring. I would love to see you both making the Philippines as your second home because the country is the social media capital of the world. Stay safe and God bless.
They are most of all beach people and they don’t stay or settle in big cities like other foreign vloggers in the country. They’re travel vloggers and like to “jump places”. Most of their videos featured beaches from different countries they visited.
@@El_.5794 There are 7,700 islands in the Philippines that they can explore.
@@ethiehetherington5086 Yes, that’s why they are back to check other islands and beaches they haven’t visited before. They were in the country last 2020 and their travel was cut short during the pandemic. I think they stayed for months in El Nido while waiting for a go signal to leave. So now, they’re back to continue what they miss
Welcome back to the Philippines!
Thank you for visiting our country
Enjoy your visit, keep the adventures going! Stay safe!!😎
Hello guys, welcome again, try to go visit north of the Philippines, More on Spanish heritage, and lots of good beaches.
Welcome back to the Philippines
9:11 That's Spanish-Filipino colonial architecture. It's unique to the Philippines. It combines native designs with Spanish designs, exemplified by the use of capiz shells on the window panes, instead of glass. It evolved from the native houses on stilts, with the stilt area becoming enclosed in stone.
15:19 Not just Intramuros. The majority of Manila was destroyed. Hence why there are so few colonial-era buildings remaining.
@Angry Kittens Hello, recognize you from other channel I enjoy (Susie in the Phil). You always present informative & interesting info; if I recall correctly, both re: history & also natural ie botanical info. Ty! I read another comment that Manila was only 2nd to Warsaw in destruction to the city & perhaps causalities in a city-not sure on that- in WW2. I knew already that it was decimated, devastated. Relatives told me as Japan retreated & even after their surrender, their policy remained destruction in retreat.💔🙏🏽
Also, you touched on pet peeve of mine, I knew there was Filipino influence to architecture & arts etc, not factually or details; but just sensed it looking at things (without a formal arts training). So thanks for presenting that. Bothers me when some seem to think the Phil civilization began with Spain. Simple wiki read could inform one on that. Not that these creators are guilty of that, they seem very respectful & interested. I’m new to them but that seems evident.
@@wintersojourn9356 Yes. It's frustrating to hear people call it a "Spanish house", when it is actually a style of architecture that is uniquely Filipino.
It's more accurate really to describe it as a native "bahay kubo" (native wood/bamboo and thatch houses on stilts) that were rebuilt in stone and "modernized" (relatively) with Spanish building practices.
Because that is precisely what happened. These houses evolved within the Principalia, the largely native/mixed colonial aristocratic class (descended from the pre-colonial nobility).
More than a few retain pre-colonial elements (like thatched roofs, or patterns meant to evoke woven bamboo). You can also see the non-stone versions of commoners during the same period to understand that the majority of the elements of the Filipino ancestral houses are native. Like the fully wooden/bamboo Mabini Shrine, the ancestral house of Apolinario Mabini. It's basically that house, just rebuilt in stone and clay roof tiles.
The architectural style doesn't exist in Spain or Latin America.
Although a caveat: a few houses included in the "ancestral houses" category have more standard European designs, but these are the ones that were usually owned by actual Spanish families. Not by the native/mestizo aristocracy.
@Angry Kittens Hello! If you have time/inclination, I thought of you as on another Phil lifestyle channel I follow, a commenter posed cultural & historic questions about folk dance in Phil, & other questions that I thought you could address. She is a sweet lady, & so far nobody seems to have answers for her. Her name is Khelesie Salvatore, & her reply/question is in most recent vlog 12-6 or 12-7-2022 in the vlog That Philippines Life. She has more than one comment throughout the vlog’s reply section, but the comment about dance history in Phil. is the one to which I’m referring. Ty 4 ur consideration, AK, & Ty Jumping Places.
Hi welcome back to Manila..watching from northern Morocco..stay safe.
great quality video.
Nice tour of intramuros & china town! Binondo is a busy local market place filled with authentic chinese restaurants.
*_Oh wow this is such a good surprise. I followed your journey and watched your whole 2020 lockdown videos in EL Nido. Never really thought you'd be back because I thought maybe you already had enough of Philippines. Hehe. Anyway, welcome back!_*
Tagaytay....Baguio.....sagada..... Vigan
welcome back guys!
Great content. Thank you! Btw, real ube has natural vibrant purple color. No artificial coloring needed. Different variety from a sweet potato and yam. Some servers use part yam and part real ube which sometimes artificial coloring is added. Ube’s texture is unique as well. It is much more stickier than yam. Ube is grown mostly in the northern and mountain part of the Philippines where climate is colder.
TIPS FOR EATING FILIPINO FOOD, SOMETIMES U GOTA HAVE SAWSAWAN ON A SIDE/AKA DIP OR SAUCE, TO DUNK YOUR FISH,GRILLED MEAT, OR ANY OTHER FOOD, SAWSAWAN MIX OF CALAMANSI, TOYO/SOY SAUCE, SUKA/VINIGAR, OR PATIS, OR CHILLI OIL , U JUST MIX THEM HOW EVER YOULIKE.
Hello hello jumping places!!! Welcome back to the phils!!! Happy to see you guys!!! Enjoy your stay and im enjoying your videos too… 🙏🌻♥️
Thank you for showing us the places where most Filipinos in the city live, and not just the contrived pretentious areas like BGC.
BGC is not pretentious. It showcased a new modern business and lifestyle center. Many other new areas in the country drew their inspirations from BGC.
It’s a 240 hectare development. There are schools and places of worship in the district… it’s not all about money.
This toxic mentality is what kills this country. Who said that BGC was pretentious. Are you saying that because some places are poor we cannot enjoy having places like BGC? Throw that marxist mentality of yours.
BGC is a cosmopolitan area. It’s not pretentious.
@@alphaomega6365 I said it was pretentious. sorry, not sorry.
Welcome back to the Philippines I feel more homesick and jealous watching your adventure in the Philippines again my last Balikbayan Trip was last 2018 🇵🇭🇺🇸 Fil Am from San Francisco , Ca
