My FIRST time in BGC Manila | I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS! 🇵🇭

It is time to visit highly requested Bonifacio Global City on Manila. At first, I couldn't find any words to my amazement about BGC. Our exploration of the area started from Market Market mall till the high street with the main 3D LedScreen. Manila is turned to be huge city with many entertaining places which really worth our visit.
Thank you for all of my new Pilipino subs for useful tips and suggestions.

17:05...we call it “Arnis” its a filipino martial arts...21:05 thats more of a vegetable halo halo...we call it ginataang halo-halo cooked in coconut milk with gloutonous rice balls (similar to mochi), sweet potato, ube (purple yam) and banana plantain...theres another snack similar name but just halo-halo more on a cold side...you guys are probably looking for that one almost similar ingridients except its on a cooler temperature some serve with ice cream and curstard on top...

Now, let me throw your question back to you, Have you seen or been with the cities that I have mentioned? Answer it honestly and don't fake your answer, thank you.

Welcome to the Philippines. I have watched your 2 videos. Couple of things need to clarify: Rajah Sulaiman (in Fort Santiago) is not Indian. He was a Filipino Muslim who fought the Spanish invaders, Masta Siomai (in Market Market) are indeed chinese dumplings which are localized and named siomai, and those clothes/shirts for sale on those free standing stalls (in Market Market) are brand new, maybe old stokc but not used clothes. Ask the locals how to eat the find the loca filipino food and where to go to enjoy ur stay. Enjoy the rest of the trip.

Ulken Rakhmet Balnur for appreciating our humble country. BTW, when you went to Market Market I thought you're gonna buy Mangoes, I saw the sign Guimaras Mango. Pls. try to taste our World Famous Mango while you're still in the Philippines because it's costly and rare to find one outside the Philippines. The Philippine Mango was Awarded by the Guinness Book of World Records as the Best, Delicious and the Sweetest Mango in the World. Have fun and be safe always. Also try to visit the largest Mall in the Philippines, the Mall Of Asia (MOA) and it has the Largest IKEA in the World. Rakhmet !!!

Arnis or Eskrima or Kali is a national defence martial arts of the Philippines. Halo-Halo the ice shaved dessert with different ingredients (cold snack) is i guess what they are recommending you to try not that Ginataang halo halo (sorts of ingredients cooked in coconut). 😁❤️ Most foreign vloggers stay in Makati or BGC or Mandaluyong area.

[@marichutesado180]

You have to explore more of this country if you want to grow your channel, get engage with people you may talk to them, english is the second language more so if you know some local words like tagalog most spoken langauge in Luzon regions where Metro Manila is part of. Every region has its own local dialect but they all can speak and understand "Tagalog" which is the national language. Don't hesitate to ask people anything and anywhere you go. Tagaytay City and Baguio City are like winter cold places with something 10c temp. Countless of beaches are stunning and magnificent falls abounds all over the country, go now and enjoy have fun because its more fun in the Philippines its natural beauty is incomparable, and don't worry too much its safe to travel just be cautious and alert.

[@martibartolome9472]

The halo-halo you have tried is a bit different from more commonly known halo-halo. What you have tried is "Ginataang Halo-Halo" Ginataan (pronounced as gee-na-tah-ahn) means cooked in "gata" or coconut cream/milk. That version of halo-halo is traditionally served hot as a morning or afternoon snack. The more common halo-halo that people have been recommending is made up of shaved/crushed ice with various toppings such as ice cream, leche flan, sweet beans, coconut jelly (nata de coco), various jellies, pop rice (locally called pinipig), some other sweet things, and then topped with some evaporated milk. The rice cake you have tried is called "puto" which is made from ground glutenous rice flour and is steamed.

[@nestorhernandez1269]

.June 10, 2023 I am glad you seem to be enjoying your visit in Manila. BGC is one of several different Business Districts in Manila. You should also visit downtown Makati. You will find there 5 malls in one and also beautiful city life not very different from BGC. While in BGC you should also visit the American Memorial Cemetery and Venice Canal Mall where they put a Venice Canal in the middle of the mall. You can also ride the gondola boats just like you can in Venice Italy. Metro Manila ia a huge metropolis with a population of some 17 million people. ManIla City proper is only one of the 17 cities comprising Metro Manila. Have fun. There are lots to do and see there.

[@peterdcar]

What u have eaten was not the halo halo dessert, the halo halo desert is.made of shaved ice, milk and mixed fruits, sweet gelo with sometimes ube 😊ice cream on top. What u ate was another kind of hot desert called ginataan (meaning the sweet liquid is made from coconut milk). They also call it halo halo because its also made of mixed rootcrops, and fruits almost the same a as the iced halo halo. Im glad u enjoyed walking around BGC. Enjoy ur stay!
