Our FIRST TIME in the Bonifacio Global City (BGC) Manila 😍

Our FIRST TIME in the Bonifacio Global City (BGC) Manila 😍
In this video, we explore the Bonifacio Global City, AKA BGC, and Venice Grand Canal Mall in Manila. Both were unbelievable, I literally fell in love with the area and could totally see myself living there! The Philippines continues to bring so many amazing experiences, we can't wait to explore more of what this beautiful country has to offer!
As always thank you so much for watching!

You will reach 10K followers if you stay here in the Philippines for a much longer period, guaranteed.

[@marysuzettecatipon6147]

There are lots of bloggers coming in the Philippines one of the reason is they can get so many viewers and subscribers here. Because Filipino people always wanted to watch and see how those bloggers in different countries showcase what Philippines can offer to the world. And for that they will subscribe to tourists/bloggers as they way of supporting them. Thank you for coming to the Philippines 🤍🙏

The pigeons are at BGC Saint Mark's plaza, Venice Grand canal, Italy of the Philippines.

[@luzviminda795]

If you still have time to visit other places in the Philippines, you should try checking out Las Casas Filipinas De Acuzar in bagac, bataan which is not that far from manila. The place is pretty much full of hundreds of years old Filipino houses. You can also stay in one of the houses there for accomodation.

Amazing the cat likes to be petted even by strangers. I like BGC because it's friendly to cats and dogs. Lots of tourists love it especially the European tourists they pet them and the cats are friendly, too.

[@AbbyandGaz]

Yeah! I love cats so if they are friendly I will always be stroking them 😂

[@nielk799]

actually the Urban Layout of CBDs of MANILA like BGC, MAKATI, ORTIGAS and EASTWOOD are inspired with AMERICAN DOWNTOWNS from wide walkable sidewalks to its modern environments blended with greenery and open space. it really looks like MIAMI mixed with CHICAGO. also BGC is one of the modern and well planned CBD in SOUTH EAST ASIA along with SINGAPORE.

[@AbbyandGaz]

Oooo how interesting, thank you ☺️

[@TheOnlyTruthTalker]

BGC is only 2.4 kilometres square, the rest of Manila are slums

I live nearby and 20 years ago, this was just a plain fields where international concerts used to held there in the tent. This was also our jogging area, no trees and buildings yet that time 😅 so I literally see how this city turned into one of the metro Manila’s finest business district.

More of Venetian in Vegas which is similar to the Venice Grand Mall. There’s a similar one in Macau. Bellagio is more of a water fountain show. There’s one in Manila called Okada Hotel & Casino which also has an impressive water fountain show.

I actually like Makati's business district more than BGC, esp the restaurants and bars. Makati CBD for decades was already the modern, bustling area when BGC was still mostly an army and air force base. You might want to explore Makati City - the area where your hotel is, more esp on the weekends when there's food markets open around the exclusive villages dotting the city.
