Just a glimpse of how Filipinos are into social media. Your subscribers will definitely increase here making it a vloggers paradise. Friendliest people, scenic islands, bustling cities, scourging heat of the sun. Welcome and enjoy your stay

[@zanetravel]

Thank you! 🙏

[@yayo4nasal]

Hey z, Just tip more than 15 pesos next time… as a foreigner, you should honestly be tipping 50-100pesos+ out of that 485 Pesos meal… just sayin lol

[@moonlight0526]

​@@yayo4nasal Lol it's his choice if he will tip or not, why are u pricing him?

[@yayo4nasal]

@@moonlight0526 my fault. Didnt me to come off negative- I worded that wrong. All im saying is, 15 pesos isnt 15 dollars… 10%of485 is about 50 pesos. A lot of people in places like he went to depend on gratuity as the hourly rate in phil sucks. Didnt mean to “price” him.

[@kalocohan]

@@yayo4nasal lol, now you just priced the whole 'lot of people'. Let me enjoy this Seinfeld moment... 😂😂😂😆😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣

Sorry about those Thai language bad comments. I don't know real Thai person or spam pretending to be Thai. Philippines nice friendly people. Would like to visit someday. Thanks for the clip. ( Thai guy from USA ) ❤

Real Thais are more friendly and disciplined as well.

[@exalkalibor924]

I'm a pinoy guy who lives in the USA if I'm a vlogger I am definitely curious on Thailand and Vietnam to visit. Japan is definitely too.

Welcome to the Philippines! Like with any unfamiliar territory, proceed with caution ... but continue arming yourself with that charming smile and soak it up. You'll do better than fine, the people will love will you.

The oldest chinatown. Enjoy Manila -- there's a whole lot to explore in the metropolis. A mix of the old and the new structures and landscapes. And the biggest highlight of course, is the people with the warmest welcome and gesture. Mabuhay! 👋👊♥️

[@zanetravel]

Definitely!

[@geov3138]

go to Legazpi Village or Salcedo Village Makati. Very good neighborhood vibes. Safe and easy to walk around. And then there's BGC which is like a different world.

Binondo, Ongpin in Chinatown were some of my favorite places to go in Manila. I buy my souvenirs to take back with me to give to my co-workers here in California.♥️🤣♥️

[@marikitliwayway6703]

Go to Baguio City or Tagaytay before you hit islands. Baguio and Tagaytay is within same island as Manila and do not require plane travel just a few hours bus ride

Manila is such a big city or should I say a metropolitan city and you'll be surprise in it's diversity. Some areas can be chaotic, others are calm and luxurious and others are old and then there's the modern parts and everything in between

[@jeddee3820]

Bangkok 3times bigger than metro manila😂

[@cocoabuena]

Chuan Kee is owned by Gerry Chua who owns Eng Bee Tin pastries- the store is next to the Ramada. Note, the purple uniforms. He is also the founder of Text Fire- a volunteer fire fighter service in Binondo. And this is why you see fire trucks always on the streets. Have fun and be safe amongst my people, aking mga kababayan!

[@zanetravel]

Thank you so much!

[@arnoldeveretteguay5320]

Try to Go north at baguio city sir. There are so many foreigners there and you can connect to nature and cold breeze and beautiful people and no crime rate. Touring baguio and experiencinv it will make you live there for good.

[@zanetravel]

Thank you!

[@paolot7899]

welcome to the Philippines! MABUHAY

[@Spy-hp8ki]

See Intramuros, the Manila Bay (at sunset), Fort Santiago, and Rizal Park. That's it, really, for Manila. If you want to go to the more upscale areas of Metro Manila, go to Makati and/or BGC. San Miguel and Red Horse are the two main beers in the Philippines. "Magandang umaga" (Good morning.) "Magandang tanghali" (Good noon.) "Magandang hapon" (Good afternoon.) "Magandang gabi" (Good evening.)

[@polgonzales]

Upstairs from that soup dumpling shop is the same owner’s restaurant but no lines. Just pay a little bit more because you’d be supporting the local volunteer fire brigade. They also own the Buddha place beside your hotel that sells chinese snacks. There’s a restaurant too. Lord’s Stows that you passed twice or thrice is a great coffee place that serves Portuguese Chinese egg tarts.

[@sincocuerdas]

33:36 You just walked past the famous Fried Siopao. You have to try one of Manila Chinatown's tourist go-to delicacies.

I think you're the only vlogger I've watched who went inside a bookstore and the only one who waited in line to get in a restaurant. I hope that you could get to see more of Manila and its surrounding cities. If you get to Quezon City, try visiting Art In Island, but not on a Monday since they are closed. Go to Ocean Park when in Manila and Baguio City for a cooler weather.

[@vivicavids3486]

Welcome to the Philippines! As with any big city, exercise the same precautions. Be mindful of your surroundings. I never ride the taxi only Grab if available, as to avoid the hassle of haggling. Check out the freshly cooked foods (like fried chicken, siopao, hot dogs) in convenience stores if are hungry, they are cheap and hot.

[@coldong5370]

dont spend too much time in the city, its more fun in the islands. Cebu (Bantayan island, Moalboal swimming w/sardines and turtles, Kawasan falls, oslob swimming w/whale shark, tumalob waterfalls. Get a boat going to the beautiful siquijor island recommended 3-4 nights. Then get a boat going to beautiful bohol island. Top recommendation Siargao and Palawan islands.

[@mitchs3559]

Cebu and Moalboal are ugly. Palawan is better

[@richardnuevo]

🙄

[@kingrafa3938]

​@@mitchs3559palawan is for vacation only for 3-4 days but not for long term living. There's not a lot to do in palawan besides island hopping, swimming in the beach, cliff jumping, snorkelling and scuba diving. After that activities, not much you can do. You can do all of that in Cebu. Palawan also have a bad transportation no taxis, no grab, buses and vans are in bad conditions, no decent hospitals, no decent malls, boring night life and the food are not good. Also, the mountains of palawan are infested by NPA rebels. Sometimes abu sayyaf terrorists group roaming around the province to kidnap some foreigners 😂 The only beautiful in palawan are some of the Islands and beaches, while the whole province of palawan are ugly 😂 In Cebu, one year is not enough to visit all the tourist spots and things to do in Cebu 😂 Cebu have 100+ beautiful, magical and turqoise blue waterfalls, hundreds of hot and cold springs, lakes, rivers, caves, more than a hundred big and small Islands, amazing and breathtaking mountains and peaks, more than a hundred mountain resorts, a lot of mountain restos and cafes with a scenic views and city views, many flower gardens, many 5 star resorts and hotel (most in the Philippines), a lot of malls, a lot of restaurants, waterparks, theme park, Cebu Safari & Adventure Park, Cebu Ocean Park (the biggest in the Philippines), Temple of Leah, Tops Lookout, Sky Adventure, Danasan Eco Adventure Park, Canyoneering in Badian, Canyoneering in Alegria, Canyoneering in Malabuyoc, Whale Shark Watching, Swimming with a Million Sardines and Turtles, Skydiving, ParaGliding, GyroCopter ride, Historical sites, Museums, etc. etc. 😂

Binondo is a good mix of chaos and order. Once you leave Binondo, it feels more chaotic and dangerous in the surrounding neighborhoods. Best parts of Manila are BGC and Makati CBD (not the Poblacion redlight district but the actual CBD area around Ayala). You’ll feel completely safe and it’s so easy to walk everywhere

[@zanetravel]

Thank you for the tips!

Philippines: anything purple food almost always equates to Ube which is purple yam. Desserts never fail with Ube: Halo Halo is a must. You hit the jackpot with: LECHON, roasted pork with the sauce unfound in any part of the planet. If you are a modern malls person: BCG and Mall of Asia (MOA). My wife loves your Bangkok trip and now you are in my country. Enjoy!!! 😂

[@jennyzubiri9312]

Mall of Asia is really lame if you compare it to the bigs malls in Bangkok. I would skip MOA and any mall in general besides Greenbelt. Manila shines in its walkable districts like Makati and BGC. The malls are just ok

[@ImXamm1474]

Roasted pork with sauce is common in Asia you can find almost everywhere in China,Hongkong,Thailand,Singapore etc.

[@kalocohan]

@@ImXamm1474 you are correct. I was actually referring to the crazy brown sauce they serve along with it.... Not a lot, if any of lechon serving countries serve it with that delish sauce. I've seen black sauce, hoisin, etc. The Philippine one seems unique though.

[@aidalearedam3568]

​​@@jennyzubiri9312 malls in the Philippines in terms of structure and interiors are at par with other malls in the world esp sm malls like sm aura and ayala malls like in greenbelt and bgc their the best in Asia

@@aidalearedam3568 look at a video of Icon Siam. Please dont lie and act like we have a mall like that. We just have very big malls, but they’re nothing special or interesting. Icon Siam actually showcases Thai culture in a beautiful way. SM Malls are just big and plain.
