Master Chief Kaiser, is that you? Thanks for the good tour of BGC. That’s a nice expensive place 💵

Ruled by 4 foreign countries? Really? Instead of only 3 known countries namely Spain, the USA, and then in WW2 by Japan.

Love it po ❤!

Does this mean the Philippine economy is doing better than the USA's?

When you’re back in Makati, hope you can visit the Ayala museum, in greenbelt area; to learn more about Philippine history. And of course, your wife will enjoy shopping in Greenbelt/ Landmark malls 😊

Great video brother! This is all about corruption.

Politicians get kickbacks from construction projects that are handed out to their close friends, family and/or campaign sponsors. Construction companies then order substandard materials and inflate the expense report for these road projects built using shoddy asphalt that will decay in one of the hundreds of yearly typhoons in the Philippines so they can do this all over again. The politicians won’t do anything to fix the roads until it’s time for reelections. It’s clockwork. They also build shoddy condominiums hoping a hardworking but naive OFW gets suckered into paying an obscene amount of monthly mortgage for a sketchy condo unit. For example, I am from Cebu and I can tell you one company based in Cebu builds tall condominiums and the ratio of the condo units to the elevators doesn’t add up. There are so many units in that tall building but it only has TWO elevators for the people living there so you wait for HOURS before you can use the elevators! This is one of the many reasons why many Filipino actors become local politicians when they age out of showbiz and don’t get movie deals and commercial deals anymore. For example, Robin Padilla! I’m sure Lorena knows his name. At least Manny Pacquiao funds projects with his own money which is why he has to keep boxing at his age! I don’t know how to fix the problems in my motherland but it is nothing new. I strongly believe the Philippines was better off as a member of the U.S. commonwealth. At least there was some sort of oversight and accountability while we maintain our independence. Anyway, thank you for this video! It allowed me to express my frustrations LOL God bless to you and Lorena!

It’s so sad but true po, My countrymen and women need to hold their elected officials responsible for starting and completing these road projects you showed. We are the best country in Asia with a proud heritage of‘ beating the odds and surviving the impossible. We deserve better for our people!!

Gavin Newsom wrecked California, and yet he keeps on getting elected, even when recalled.

Awesome video Brother! I was at Patong Beach and Bangla Walking street during New Year 2025 countdown! The place was absolutely insane 🎉

The place to be! No place in the Ph that is flood free. Burgos circle has an underground cavity that flushes out any water underground all the way to Manila Bay. Remember now this was a military base. The underground bunker is designed as an escape route of the soldiers during WW2. Also the electricity in BGC is pretty much guaranteed 24/7 because of the call centers that’s all over BGC. America’s top 4 banks that does not operate in PH are here because the entire worldwide operations of Wells Fargo, B of A, Citibank, Chase/Morgan Stanley are here. It can’t afford to shutdown not one minute. Singapore’s Cloud storage is beginning to pile up here. No place in PH that has this infrastructure. The builder that’s started BGC 30 years ago is my buddy. So all the secrets are out! Case close!

Awesome fireworks!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

chill and enjoy at the Philippine malls.. nothing like it anywhere else in the world.. 🤩

Power plant mall is awesome especially with all Christmas decorations! The food court area has some great food.

The Modern Philippines!❤🎉❤🎉❤

Crime Rate in the US too high

I enjoyed the video! I believe SM is owned by a Filipino-Chinese family. On another note, I think OFW remittances are fueling the mall culture and the oversupply of condominiums.

A good, concise, overview.

SM Seaside is the only mall in the Philippines that is built to its current size. Other large mall in the Philippines get their present size through a series of expansions through the years. Also, SM Seaside is the only one among the largest malls in the Philippines that is contained in a single structure. Other larger malls such as SM MOA, SM North EDSA and SM Megamall, all in Metro Manila, are composed of multiple buildings with access via street-level walkways and elevated walkways. In fact, SM Seaside is the largest single structure in the Philippines in terms of floor area, at 470,000 square meters or around 47 hectares of indoor space.

You should try to visit Alegria and Badian Canyoneering unto Kawasan Falls, the newly built TOPS observation deck in Busay Cebu City, 5 star premium Nustar Resort and Casino in Kawit island Cebu City and if you are going to BGC Taguig City visit American Cemetery, check it

Oh man. Nostalgic for some of the Gingerbread houses I saw in the malls when I was a kid - i'd sneak a little piece from them to eat lmao

Love it ❤po.

Enjoy there and God bless you ❤️

❤❤❤❤❤

This is a great video for Cebuanos living overseas who are a homesick for Christmas! Weather looks nice!

Lovely

Now that is some real 🐸 Frogman adventure!

I drive by this airport super often, no idea it was here. Gotta check it out

Don't you know that whale sharks are regularly spotted all over Cebu waters? They were spotted often around Mactan Islands, Malapascua Island, Pescador Island (off Moalboal), Dalaguete, Alcoy, Liloan, etc.

Great educational video!

As usual awesome video po, can’t wait to see them myself!! ❤

people in the US ar shopping moe online, malls are dying.

The problem in American Malls are the uncontrolled crimes, shop lifters cant be arrested that causing bussiness owners a big problem they are loosing a lot of money thats why its better to close than loose more investment not like in the Philippines they have security everywhere to arrest the culprit and turn over to the police later also checking all people going inside to make sure no deadly weapons can bring inside the Mall areas..😅

Beautiful video. I agree with your appreciation of the 996. I own a 2001 996. I wonder how the potential of a 996 can be utilised or enjoyed on the roads of California. I live in Germany. Full throttle.

Very pretty po!

One reason here is the weather here...People flock in malls because of heat outside and Malls right here become a place to visit to unwind and just walk around but of course that can't be done during the weekends because you will get stress out with so many people in the malls here....weekdays in the morning is just perfect to go to the malls....south Carolina where my aunt lives she said their malls are too small and not as good as here in manila,when they visit here in Manila....

Same in downtown San Francisco, CA. Westfield Mall closed, Macys Union Square is closing in 2025. Many shops in downtown SF have been boarded up due to crimes, homeless people incamp in the city. The blight of the city is due to poor city management. Thank God the incumbent Mayor has been voted out in the last November 2024 Election. She has done nothing. She likes to talk the talk not walk the talk.

Your US & Philippine Mall comparison is ACTUALLY UNIQUE! I HAVEN'T COME ACROSS OR SEEN A YT VLOGGER DOING ANYTHING SIMILAR TO THIS IN YOU TUBE!! PLEASE, MORE OF THIS PLEASE❤❤❤❤❤

Awesome adventure! Especially taking coastal route.

The decline in American investments, government corruption the last 15 years poor leadership , on line shopping take over. Schools declining k-12. Culture change,etc.i truly hope America will recover and rise again in the next few years with a new administration .

I remember when Ontario Mills was built in '96 since I lived a few miles from there. It was so vibrant but before I headed back to the Philippines in 2006, it was already quiet and seemed to be dying. The only place well alive was D&B arcade/resto. Malls in the Philippines last for a very long time even if new ones are built. There's suppose to be a Dave & Busters soon to open here.

New subscriber here ❤

Awesome video again po. Thanks for showing the good parts of my country!! ❤❤

Nice! My epic coastal short video (Caunayan Point) from Pagudpud is very close to the historic USS Stinger landing site memorial on WW2 (found on Google maps). There was even a wedding pictorial going on at the middle of the viewpoint when I went there. One of the beaches further north was being renovated as a Balikatan site and they had a big logo of the USMC's Globe and Anchor on it. I wanted to linger for a bit to see if there were actual Marines there but something tells me their COs won't like that at all lol

Did the VA help with the expenses? A US expat vet buddy of mine got a major shoulder surgery in Medical City done by VA-certified local doctors and he even took culinary classes here on the VA's dime. He has 100% disability rating and an Iraq vet. This was right before C***d but it got watered down sometime during the lockdowns.

New sub. La Union has a decent community of American vets and they even have a VFW office there. They do hash runs every weekend.
