[@martinsolhaugen]

So many things happening in Manila for us! Thank you so much for watching the vlog guys! What was your favorite part?😄

[@ursulabasilio4445]

Everything 👏👏👏

[@bettydsouza4523]

As long Marve is in it all of it my fav❤ Way to go dearies you both make a great couple with all the good vibes. The very best Martin in your new country, I know you'll make it with Ave by your side. Btw your hair looks great and Ave too all dressed up 😍.

[@angelinaescobar7981]

I liked the whole vlog. Very entertaining and there was never a dull moment. Thank you 👏👍

[@milanice5730]

Amazing, interesting and fun video! Thanks for sharing! Manila is such an exciting city! I always spend a few days there every time I go home to the Motherland to the province where many of my relatives still live. In April this year a nephew of mine found an abnb for us on the 45th floor with a view of BGC and Pasig River and a bunch of high-rises. It was a two-bedroom, vintage-themed, beautiful place. Interesting vintage collection ! ❤️❤️❤️

[@serahsabas]

man cave of jc’s!

[@quiaodilao3932]

Jay C ‘s appartement is like a vintage museum , so original , his hair looks cool too😚. Can’t wait the to watch Ave’s video content with Jay C.

[@sallyllaguno4641]

Did all these activities in this vlog happened in one day, Martin? If yes, that was a looong and full day! You'll never get bored if your day is as full as this! What I want to hear is You practicing your Tagalog (Filipino Language) so you'll get used to it... The best part is the 'Sunday Family get together", that will make family bond together/ stronger!

[@martinsolhaugen]

No it happen 2 to 3 weeks ago 😃!! Thanks a lot Sally for your love and support as always. I’m eager to learn tagalog now as we will spend more time here in the Philippines 🙌🏻!! Have a great weekend.

Good job with your Tagalog, Martin! I'm pretty sure within a year (if you're serious) you will be fluent in our dialect. You even learned about our tradition when greeting Ave's parents and older relatives. I love that!

[@martinsolhaugen]

Thank you! I will try my best. It’s not that easy but I am doing lessons as often as I can ☺️☺️

Hi Glenda 🙌🏻! Were doing fine. How about you? how’s your weekend going? 😃

[@angiesaloma5969]

Hello..Martin...you and Ave should always talk or communicate each other in Tagalog dialect ...one way to learn and practice the connecting words and accents. Like the American Vlogger "Kuya Jake" with a Filipna wife...he's good now in Tagalog (they speak Tagalog & Iocano dialect at home). It's only my suggestions...And Congratulations ! You're slowly becoming a Norpinoy !!! Have a good day always with Ave wherever you are. Thank youuuu.

[@martinsolhaugen]

Hi Angie! Yeah, slowly becoming a filipino. Thanks a lot for watching as always 🙌🏻!
