It got ABSOLUTELY WILD in the Philippines "Worst Slum" (Tondo) 🇵🇭

I don't like to judge a book by it's cover, so when I was told not to go to Tondo.. I thought why not go there and see for myself what it is really like. Myself and ‪@kayyywild‬ ventured into the alleys of the "Most Dangerous Slum in Manila" and were greeted with nothing but happy and welcoming people who were so quick to invite us in to their celebrations and even offer us food and drinks. This was by far one of the best days I've had here in Manila and it just goes to show sometimes places are quite different to the reputation they have been given.

Hey everyone! This was by far one of my favorite videos to film here in Manila. The people living in Tondo were so friendly and really made us feel welcome. It just goes to show you sometimes you have to go to these places yourself to make your own opinion instead of pre judging. I hope you enjoy the video 😊 Look forward to reading your lovely comments. Much love 💖

[@garyveridiano5693]

A lot has been changed, I would say. We used to visit my grandma who lived there in Tondo back in the 90’s. And my only memories were, 1. The best PALABOK! ❤️2. The cursing of the neighbors early in the morning like 4:00am.. 😂.. as a child (I was told by my cousins) I can’t walk along by myself because I will be kidnapped.. Lol.. I was still in 6th grade when I visited Tondo.. now I’m 36 yo and living abroad.. I miss the Phils somehow..

Hey Josh, maybe try small paper printouts with your channel name on it for giveaways to locals. Might save time spelling it out always, just a suggestion hope it helps✌👌🇵🇭🇬🇧

[@lovelyantoinettedorde8410]

Hi josh! I do recommend that you print little strips of paper with your KZbin channel name written so that the locals would find you easily! We are very much happy to subscribe and support people like you!

oh yeah this is a good idea, others even give out stickers of their channel; but you can just put it in a small paper both you and kayyyywild :)

That’s one thing about Filipinos, typically the less fortunate ones, were a happy bunch! I bet you guys were exhausted afterwards 😅 Also, maybe a shirt that says your vlog would be great. Keep up the awesome work and thanks again for highlighting our country. Mabuhay!

Hi Josh, I spent the first 30 years of my life in Tondo. I actually saw our old house in the video. I used to play in that basketball court and we are selling vegetable in the market. Its been 13 years since I left that place and migrate to US. I am not sure how your channel randomly showed up in my KZbin, but guaranteed you just earned a subscriber.

Tondo is so misunderstood. As you have witnessed, it is full of happy, welcoming and friendly folks. Wonder why they are so happy to be in such a impoverished neighborhood? Because the filipinos are rich where it counts. They have each other and can find happiness in the most bleak of times. That my friend is the love of the Filipjnos. I'm glad you featured this awesome community. Enjoy the rest of your visit.

In previous decades, Tondo was not as safe as it is now. Naturally, though, you still need to be more cautious when going there. Although there are many positive aspects of the location, they are overshadowed by the negative aspects. Tondo was home to one of our presidents. To be specific, former President Joseph Ejercito Esrrada.. He was also one hell of a famous celebrity during his time. Nice Vlog, Josh. If you have time to print something like a calling card with the name of your KZbin channel on it, that would be a great way to promote your channel.Anyways, congratulations you are now at 5k subs and counting!❤
