My first day in The Philippines was a Disaster!!

Today is my first Day in The Philippines!! I have arrived in Manila! It is my 9th time to visit The Philippines, and I am so happy to be back! Today I went and did some of my favourite things to do here in Manila, I took a Jeepney, Checked out the new Dolomite Beach, ate some great Filipino food, and my favourite thing to do here... Meet the locals and hang out. I think Filipino people are some of the friendliest in the world, I had such an amazing time. Unfortunately my first day was a disaster when I arrived, but today made up for it!

I totally respect that you realize the video you filmed the first day wasn't content you would normally be proud to provide. Thanks for keeping it positive. Not just for the phillipines but in your videos over all. I enjoy your content

[@Brennybrez]

You looked happy and excited for this video! I like the way you just took bits and pieces of the crappy day and made it into this video with the flashbacks Great vid bro, also if you haven’t been to Moalboal I’d recommend it for Cebu! Sardine run, chicken fights, and waterfalls close by 🤙

[@S2KDAN101]

so nice to see the kids so happy to see you, that brings me joy. Pilipino people are some of the nicest people I have ever met. enjoy your time there!

[@jscottyson]

I just spent the last 5 days in Manila and it was absolutely wonderful!! Have a great time and safe travels!

[@keisone]

Thank you so much 😊 It’s amazing here!!

[@vortexfx420]

Anytime your stressed or angry, realize your in control of how your feeling. Practice makes happy :)

[@keisone]

Exactly!! I like that 😊

[@chillywilly541]

Really!? I never thought of that. What shit advice.

[@sluxi]

I disagree about you being in control but you can decide on how you react to your feelings. Meditation helps develop the skill to not just go along with whatever feeling appears.

[@roni2715]

Social media replies can be a very critical beast, one bad or negative post is hard to take back. Cheers to your Vlog, well done.

Awesome video mate, btw that cat wanted to adopt you! So cute! And the kids there were awesome, such a wholesome vibe,

[@arlenemaymacapanpanbalagot6024]

Hello Keis one, its so nice you came back here in the Philippines, your like a Rockstar here in my country, im always watching you and no skipping ads. Always stay safe and enjoy your vacation but if you go to Boracay you will notice a green stuff in the sea water because its algae season because its summer time but if rainy season its totally gone.

[@MarkPuke13]

Your back nice❤

[@jg465]

From 11:07 was such a vibe! Thanks for repping my home country.

[@mitchs3559]

Explore more of Makati. Like Salcedo Village and Legazpi Village. I saw a little bit of it in the video, but there’s a lot to see. It’s like a more authentic BGC. There’s a lot of food carts with Filipino food. There’s also a good Filipino restaurant called Sarsa.

[@yaabaa]

Manilla looks awesome!!! Your attitude to travelling and meeting new people is super cool. There should be more of it!!! I reckon you've got to put some different twists on the walk up and jump down to the camera on the ground, although I guess it's kind of your trademark!!!! 🎉🎉

[@keisone]

Yeah there is a bit of reasoning behind it.. when I’m walking it’s setting something up and when I sit down to talk it’s usually meant to seem like we are sitting down and having a chat together.. Usually finding somewhere with a cool backdrop where I can sit is the biggest challenge haha

[@rcautoparts1]

Just wanted to let you know that i really appreciate your videos mate. The vibe is warm n really positive. Cheers from Perth W.Aust.

The Philippines are going to phase out Jeepneys by the end of the year because of pollution caused by these vehicles. "Jeepneys nationwide were scheduled to be phased out by the end of the year, to be replaced by more expensive minibuses under a government modernization program."

[@ArchieS-id8lf]

I remember sisig used to be the food when drinking beer in a bar. If you're still in Manila, go to Ugbo St in Tondo for their night food market. Welcome back!

[@Sir_Sway]

That was fun! great city life scenes

[@trailrunningexperience496]

De ja vu mate with the local interactions- reminds me so much of first days in Japan, Korea, Nam, Chile, Italy etc etc. all over the world. Kids will bring you up if you need a boost. Great stuff mate - life is how you react to what happens not what happens per se.

[@keisone]

Yeah exactly man! Funny I keep having things go wrong here and then it just gets turned around when I have moments like that 😊

When I was in Manila about 20 years ago I'm sure there was a beach. I remember sitting on the beach and drinking while listening to these awesome bands play. Best times of my life.

If you like spicy dishes and with coconut ingredients you can go to the bicol region. It's underrated but it has a lot of things to offer like great beaches, volcanoes, extreme sports, mountains, islands, whalesharks, humpback whales, etc.

Awwww…THAT KITTEN…..he steals my heart. He followed you along. I just can’t even…❤❤❤❤ And the Filipino young kids…so adorable. I wanna hug them all!

Damn I had a similar thing happen, but my bag split right open shit was everywhere apparently and they taped my bag and put it back together, had a few things missing too, wasn't impressed.

Glad to see day 2 was better! I saw this video up last night but it suddenly disappeared before I could watch it. Was that the really negative version you mentioned in this one?

[@keisone]

Nah, I just had issues getting it uploaded in 4K for some reason.. it actually took 4 times of me uploading lol

[@davidmartin2706]

chicken inasal is good. Like a lot of Filipino dishes, you have to mix up the dipping sauce right (soy sauce, vinegar, calamansi, and chilis)- which is something they don't tell foreigners. So make sure you ask the workers

[@pksports6350]

Airtags for luggage is a genius idea

[@drewmow]

Killer video!!! I understand the video not being posted. Good vibes only. I always appreciate you dropping a F bomb once in awhile to show you are human. Honesty is my policy lol you living my dream life so keep doing you keis

[@rotimi22]

Also keep track of your expenses. Especially if you aren't good with money. I once had a restaurant "accidentally" tip themselves an additional $70. A few other places have tried to add $5 on the tip. Yes, I live in the US and usually tip 15-20%. So they had absolutely no reason scam me.

[@Chantesky]

I like you attitude so easy going selling wind 💨. Make me fill like I work so much doing nothing 😅

[@keisone]

Thank you so much 😊

[@jodycanfield6684]

A good portion of the population actually speaks English. That in itself is a HUGE plus! Once you can communicate, then it's easier to assimilate!

[@edwardhill6362]

Yeah, the level of English is much higher than other South-East Asian countries.

[@keisone]

Yeah it’s a great bonus for being able to interact with everyone here 😊

Yeaaaaaaa 🥳🥳

[@user-bs4vb8vh6m]

It is a city where many children play on the streets along the alleys.😊

As a fellow white dude that doesnt like fish,. Recommend the following: Pork or chicken adobo, pork sinigang, Kaldereta, Apritada, Bistek (awesome), Beef Bulalo (must try), tortang talong (egg plant fried) and of course lumpia. Or just white people food since you are going to Boracay LOL Safe travels

[@martyparcon3664]

I lived in Philippines, when you go to Cebu, head down to Oslob. That's where you can swim with the whale sharks. Go down and stay the night right on the water where they are. Swim with them the next morning, find some locals that take the boats out to them and you will avoid the crowds and get a better experience

[@keisone]

Yeah, I am dying to check out Oslob! Thank you!!

My worst day in Manila was being in a gogo bar that got raided by the NBI (Stardust - it's last night of operation ever). I was just having beers with a mate but we were detained and our IDs were inspected plus a lot of questions. We'd done nothing wrong so we were released after about an hour. Another time me and a mate were held up by the cops in Burgos St for having open beers in our hands (not illegal) but they said it was and they got patrol cars to turn up and take us to the station. I told mate if we go to the station it will cost a mint. So we rolled up a couple of thousand peso notes and threw them into that dark police box opposite the 7/11. They were ok with that and let us go.
