Thanks for walking with me! The Philippines is a beautiful places, and just like the rest of the world, this island has some dark places as well. Although this is considered the biggest slum in the Philippines, it seems like the people are content and happy, thus why this place is called Happy Land =) Watch the Night Walk here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXmxaIZrpLmKe9U Don't forget to hit the notification bell for more videos like this =)

Tondo is where my Dad grew up. I had the opportunity to visit in 2019 and my parents weren’t too happy when they found out I ventured on my own to find his old stomping grounds. It was a real eye opener to see where his journey began. I am extremely thankful for the sacrifices they’ve done to give me and my siblings a better life. He always told me stories of the harsh realities in Tondo. I admire him for the determination. Even my grandparents were able to relocate here, because of everything he did. Sending love and prayers from the Napa Valley, California.

@@booshallmighty well. I didn’t have any issues when I visited. I even enjoyed my time in Mexico and Cuba. Remember, it is Americans that live in the fear of ignorance of the world as what their government does to keep them blind. But also... I get why my parents came here to give me and my siblings a better chance in opportunities. I’m also glad they did because another reason the Philippines is doing so well economically is by OFWS or Filipinos overseas pumping money into their economy... and I’m one of those people as well. Though I may not have grown up back there. My parents still taught me about our culture and history. I’ll donate and make sure the family line and community back home is taken care of... because they still treat us as family.

But we have to be honest that the health, livelihood and opportunities are not available for everyone that are in Tondo. Also, the Tondo of today is obviously not as the Tondo of the 90s. There’s a reason why Filipinos choose to work abroad or find opportunity elsewhere.

I have been to the Philippines 4 times now. I realize that the living conditions are not good at all, but the people there I have fallen in love with. They are the most kind people you will ever meet. Your video I think shows just that. Never did you see anyone give you an angry look or ask you what you were doing there. The people are what makes me go back. Generally loving and kind. Great work on the video and like you put it, don’t judge the conditions they live in. Look into the eyes of the people. That is where you find God! God bless the PH

Manila, for me, is well know for its vibrant cityscape like Makati and BGC, but few people would ever experience the routes like this. Despite of frustrations in reality, they look even more energetic than those staying with wealth. Stay safe and strong, we are in this together, best love and support to you from Taiwan.

I like how you’re respectfully showing the living conditions. I’m Filipino, born and raised here in California and I’ve never been to the Philippines so I searched up videos like these so I can get a glimpse of the hardships people face in the motherland - my parents were right. It’s a reminder that I need to be grateful and even though I complain about the most nontrivial things, these people appear to have it a hundred times worse but they’re still able to smile and go on with their day - it’s admirable. 🙂

Theres not that much hardship tbh. Its just that these people chose to be lazy and staying uneducated. It was their will to live like this. But what can i say, if all those years the Gov. had not been corrupted, then there could have been more oppotunities for them. But then again, these people are the cause of our Overpopulation and poverty margin.

I've been there (in Tondo) as well and I visited the Philippines already four times since 2013. I asked 5 different taxi drivers to bring me to Tondo 2013 and all of them refused getting me there saying it would be way too dangerous. One of them said he would drive taxi 25 years and he has got robbed 3 times since then and it has been always happening in Tondo. So I decided to take a walk from Mabini street (Metro Manila) by myself to get there. At the start of reaching Tondo I didn't see one Taxi anymore (no joke). At other places in Manila you see more taxis driving than private cars. The poverty overwhelmed me and it didn't took long to get accompanied by 5 up to 8 kids sometimes. They all kept calling me GI-Joe even I'm a German. I've been hanging around there about 5 hours the last two hours it has been dark already and still no one tried to harm me or rob me at all. Two kids by the age of around 6 and 10 were staying by my side from the very beginning until I left again. All the people I met there were very friendly and a bunch of them tried to sell me sunglasses, viagra, lighters and some other goods. At all places in the Philippines I only met the friendliest people ever and I'm used to travel a lot around the world. I think it always depends on how you treat people to get treated good as well. Your video made me think about the kids I met there and I hope that they're doing fine until today and getting once the chance to escape the poverty over there. God bless them and all the people from the Philippines 🥰

Thank you for showing how some people live in other parts of the world. As bad as these conditions may appear to those of us who are lucky enough to live in the "First world", These people appear well adapted to the conditions that they live in. I did not see obvious depression and defeat in the eyes of the people there, the children seemed happier and freer than the children that I see in my part of the world. These are human beings who are making the best of what they have and live "normal" lives like the rest of us. There is so much to see as you walk along and I actually enjoyed the sights through the lense of your camera, it feels more exotic than many tourist destinations that are considered "exotic". The place looks like a real life version of a combination of mad max and blade runners movie back grounds.

They wear decent clothes and footwear. They just mind their own business and don’t seem to be a threat to strangers. One day, I’ll pay them a visit too. Thank you from Virginia, USA!

I stumbled across this video on one Friday night in November of 2021. It was humbling to watch. A few days later I showed my 8 year old son and my 6 year old daughter the video. After watching the video I asked my kids for their impression. My 8 y.o. son said "they may not have much, but they are happy". My daughter said "I wish it was like the Philippines here" I asked her why? She said "because, there would be more kids to play with!" This video has blessed my kids and I...in more ways than one. After watching the video I became curious about the Philippines and began learning about the culture. Long story short, I met my fiancee and her family in the Philippines the summer of 2022. She absolutely loves my kids and I! We can't wait for her arrival in USA. May God bless the Philippines. 🙏 P.S. Thank you Krypto for making this video.

I grew up in Tondo. Nice to see updated version of Tondo. That was my old neighborhood. At least the roads are cemented now. Used to go to the pier to watch dynamite fishing and did swimming there since there was fee for private swimming pools nearby. I guess they do not do dynamite fishing now. Did not get to own nor to ride a bicycle except renting for few hours on 3 occasions. Did walking mostly back and forth from the Westminster High School to home in Sande street and now forgot the name of my grade schools.. Always remember the inside of Tondo Church before it got renovated and the floors were covered with old tombstones with the name of the people graves where they came from. Able to see the Mary Johnston Hospital from the steps of the Tondo Church. Did enjoy the jeepney ride when I can afford it. The name of Sande street has been changed. Out of the three bakeries on the Sande street up to Pritil only Liberty Bakery survived. Panaderia Rica and Tondo bakery are not there anymore. Funeral Sumilang has moved. INC church at the corner of Moriones and Juan Luna. Visit Tondo market once in a while and where my father used to buy baby shark at the market for one of our ulam. I did use to walk the whole length of Juan Luna to get to Divisoria to catch jeepney ride to Quiapo to attend school at FEU where I was fortunate to be get accepted to study and graduated. Admission to college was not as rigid as of today otherwise I might not have gotten accepted. I did not have good grade in high school. That's why I consider myself lucky.

There's something about Filipino slums where people can be happy even in the face of extreme poverty. Manila has its fair share of crime (more so than other East and Southeast Asian countries) and I've heard of conflicting reports by fellow Filipinos but the people of Tondo tend to have a simple life- the parents try to work wherever they can and the children play on the streets.

It doesn't matter what you have or where your from its how you are as a person that matters its how you treat others and how you interact in your community your walk showed me what I know about the Philippine people they are good at working with what they have at hand and adapting to what is available to them they are excellent as a family unit and this is their strength and what allows them to survive when others would perish. If there was a worldwide disaster the Philippines would come out on top.

The reason is because they source of fun doesn’t resolve around money but rather having a social family and enjoying every moment of that

Let us not compare slum dwellers to previleged people but compare them to just normal people. For examples, the children @ the slumps whom you said are happy. But do they get to go to school & get decent education? What about their future? Do they get sufficient opportunity to do better than their parents and get a college education followed by a good job & eventually move out of the slump. If that is happening then it is still OK and not too bad. If that is not the case, then the slump is just a poverty trap which the government must address.

Also, slums in the Philippines have large families in one shack, it is better to be out in the streets regardless if it’s safe or not.

There is or was an old railroad station where movie did the shooting using it as a set for a Vietnam rail road station they just changed the signs to be in vietnamese. And I returned to the area enjoying my walks and the people. Mabait sa tao yan. Even the people are poor they are smiling and laughing and enjoying life.

This amazing video comes at aa time where I have just spent the last couple of weeks watching loads of videos from the Kensington Ave section of Philadelphia PA, USA.... and I have to say the differences are astonishing to say the least !! It is very heartwarming to see the real sense of family, seeing everyone being productive, and yes - dare I say happy, hence thee appropriate name off Happy Land. I encourage those interested and with open minds and compassionate hearts as well to check out Kensington Ave Philadelphia videos, believe me... it is anything but happy. Thank you so much for posting this walking tour of Happy Land, for me it was quite enlightening, and at the same time gave me hope for humanity.

Growing up in a slum is one of my treasured moments as a kid i experience in slum neighbors shares food , when you need help you can relly to each other like family.. when you need to buy something there are alot of sari sari store everywhere.. almost all in the community knows each other like brothers and sisters.. although sometimes there are fighting and misunderstanding at the end of the day they forgive each other.. and one of my favorite growing up in slums is food! when you wakeup in the morning 🌄 you can hear manong selling Taho, Puto, Kuchinta, Tinapay at Bihon.. and in the 12NN another manong selling Ice Scramble,Ice Candy,Melon shake or Buko shake.. during afternoon breakfast you can buy Fishball,Tempura,Kwek kwek, Manga w/bagoong or eat Batchoy and at night you can buy BBQ like isaw,betamax,tocino, and chorizo and just around the corner sinigang,nilaga,adobo,lechon paksiw, dinuguan,pakbet, monggo and more! thats what i miss so much.😁 just sad that we have to leave as the slum is being demolished but i understand.😔

I‘ve been watching this with my heart AND my eyes. Very poor people unter horrible living circumstances. Many people with sadness and hopelessness on their faces. But also: very much social and friendly interaction, much more than in western countries. People just sitting together, talking, playing. And I#ve seen people with pride, not willing to give up. Their pride can be seen in their smiles and the fact, that their clothes is poor but CLEAN. Love and greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

Ahhh some of the scenes are so nostalgic. Even though I did not grow up in the slums, I lived the first half of my life in the Philippines. One of the things I like the most about the Philippines that I really miss upon immigrating to another country is COMMUNITY. You are surrounded by people and meet different people constantly. They actually know you and you live life with others. Sometimes the richest things in life are not material.
