[@emmat.6525]

That’s so nice of you to donate your revenue from this video to the Philippines Red Cross 🤗 I wish more influencers were like you!

[@lettersbyrio]

Good morning from Philippines!😊 Yey! This made my day! I’m soo happy you liked the foiled portrait I made for you guys! I also love the part when you two are speaking in tagalog hehe medyo shy pa si Marco. 😄 Anyway, happy for you guys eventho it’s just a short stay you were able to spend time with fam and internet friends/followers hehe. Sana ma-meet ko din kayo next time and ma-push ang next vacay nyo sa beach. Take care always! 😊

[@alyssa.lenore]

Yes, next time!!! Thank you again 🥹🤎

[@johnjontoledano]

HAVE NOT WAITED FOR A VLOG LIKE THIS ONE!

[@yinghe2149]

Thank you for sharing this vlog such a beautiful country it looks like and your comment at the end is really touching too

[@jeremydante]

I’ve been looking forward to this one. I’m Filipino-Mestizo born in The Bay, never been to the Philippines - I’m glad you spoke to the sentiment about it being a confusing and conflicting trip, with the poverty. I am reluctant to go, though I want to; knowing some elements may break my heart. Great edit, and loved the clips from your other trips at the close. 🖤

[@BasyBlue13]

Yesss Girl this is def giving Manila aesthetics.

[@lydiacarels7912]

As always, lóve your travel vlogs! Thx for taking us with you! ❤

[@trixia.custodio]

You guys looked so happy! 😊 Hope to meet you next time you’re here 💕

[@nolonwaboyisaka6648]

Enjoyed this so much and love it when you speak your home language and pronounce the words and meeting your followers they are so kind.❤❤🎉love this for you and Marco is always super supportive couple goals .

[@alyssa.lenore]

Thank you so much! 🥹

[@annamcgee923]

Thank you so much for sharing! This brought back soo many memories. I haven't been back to the PI in so long. 💕

[@amykomiya9350]

So meaningful❤! Home is where your heart is,sarap talaga sa Pinas🇵🇭

[@imamysun]

I can totally relate to you feeling like not fully belonging to your place of birth, but also not to your current location because I came to the states when I was 8 too, but from Korea! It's an interesting situation to be in, but I truly think that gives us a unique perception of our surroundings :) Loved this vlog so much!

[@alyssa.lenore]

I agree! 🤎 Thank you for watching! 🥹

[@goldsand]

Os glad this is so long!!!! I’m enjoying at my desk at work right now 🙃🫰🏾

[@stefgen04]

Didn’t skip ads so you have more to give back to the Motherland 🇵🇭

[@KarenSundays]

Taking in all 37 minutes of this Philippines vlog!!! All the good food and syempre, shopping 🛍️

[@malonehn3224]

much-awaited vlog, thank you so much for sharing it.

[@themrgumbatron]

Brings back memories of my time in Manila pre-covid. thanks for taking us along.

[@ditsehv3305]

omg so cute to hear you guys speak tagalog

[@alyssa.lenore]

Trying 😂

[@theicesa]

Welcome home! Yes comeback for the beaches 🙂❤️

[@ryahmillare]

super love it! hope you and Marco can go back next year. I missed the meet-up but I am so happy you were able to go around, enjoy Filipino food and hospitality as well. :) God bless always.

[@gonewiththewindddd]

also omg, that one subscriber with the white fleuron swann bag 🤩 we love a person with taste 🥳

[@Mrianna11]

I enjoy your videos so much❣️They are the best thing❣️

[@melanieh7142]

Such a special video! Thank you for sharing 💕

[@BonitaBrewington]

This was beautiful. Thx for sharing your home with us. ❤

[@goldsand]

You and Marco made my heart melt 😭🫶🏾🫰🏾

[@zarinahsales769]

[@alyssa.lenore]

Thank you 🥹🤎

[@nizampabil5664]

[@GiaGRitter]

All the food looks so GOOOOOD!🤤

[@jennmunsayac8655]

This video was AMAZING and thank you for taking me back to Manila! Hope you are able to do Boracay and Palawan next year, and I will be watching your VLOGS! Salamat!

[@alyssa.lenore]

I hope so! 🤍

[@torivo6757]

i love your travle vlogs! make me want to book for my summer trip! I'm glad you had fun traveling in asia.

[@alyssa.lenore]

Thank you!! 🤎🤎

[@donnavitan]

I've learned to refer to the Philippines as a developing country or over-exploited country instead of third world country because that's using language that diminishes our history being colonized, our culture lost, and resources exported. I also understand that we've all got complex histories with our connection with the home land. In any case, I do appreciate the joy and beauty you share! I would love to go visit there with family one day.

[@jonnyfendi2003]

oh please. Its every filipinos dream from the provence to come to the United States. They embrace the west. Stop with that crap, it doesn't exist, go ask the filipinos in the barrio, they will take the United States ideals more than staying in squalor.

[@kanoriw273]

Awe, love to see more meet and greet, so sweet! What are those white pants you're wearing that day, so cute!

[@alyssa.lenore]

From Dissh! Going to update my links when I get home if i missed it in the description box 🤎

[@angelagulde]

So glad to know that you're a proud Pinay. ❤

[@marccolomayt82094]

WELCOME BACK TO MNL, pretty Alyssa! I truly enjoyed this nice lifestyle travel diaries vlog so much ❤❤❤❤

[@alyssa.lenore]

Thank you!!

[@graciedegracia]

Loved the vlog esp since we both were in Manila at the same time (sorry I missed the meet up?) Buying a new suitcase for pasalubong is so relatable! People back home are so generous esp of their time huhu 🥹

[@eileenmak2515]

Love the music selection in your videos!

[@SamanthaLeonardo]

The manggaaaaaaa. And the cornsilog. So tempted to go back home next year just for those two things alone

[@ricecorner]

Waited for this omg finally 🤍🫶🏼 Just had a month long trip extended to 36 days last Christmas and stayed a week in Palawan it was definitely one of my memorable trip back home. 😭

[@alyssa.lenore]

🤍 omg Palawan is on my list for next time 🥹

[@ricecorner]

So worth it. stayed a week in an Airbnb in El Nido 6-7 minutes walk away from Nacpan beach which a lot of locals recommended as the best beach in the area. I highly recommend to rent a van with/without a driver or if comfortable a scooter to get around.🤍🇵🇭

[@jvppy]

I usually watch your vlogs from our tv but had to rush to my phone to write this comment! This was such a short but sweet vacay 🥹 You guys were so cute trying to speak Tagalog, and one of you guys are from Pampanga whattttt? Crazy how this vlog made me homesick again when I was just there last November. I was sick during our first 2 weeks too and it felt like a waste 😢 Loved that your fans spoiled you so much, but more like Wade 😂 I def get what you meant when you said it is a very conflicting trip. You see people around you working their hardest while we enjoying ourselves, it feels kinda weird. It is HOME but then at the same time, we ask ourselves if we can still live there again someday (?) so the disconnection part is there too. I was also very young when we moved to Canada but for some reason you still remember the memories, the food, the culture, just everything back home. You are such an amazing person for donating the funds to Red Cross PH! We can only do so little to help so I applaud your sincerity! I think this has got to be my fav out of all your trips so far, short yet meaningful ❤ PS. We like seeing blonde Alyssa again 😛

[@alyssa.lenore]

Thank you so much! 🥹🤎 really hope to be able to go home again soon.

[@ninami_ph]

I had a feeling you're a fellow filipina when I started watching your vlogs in japan. Happy to know I was right❤

[@shadyshady8523]

Even if it's rarely seen, its nice seeing u guys cuddly together. 🙂

[@FGest.07]

Welcome home!!! Alam mo ikaw talaga ang reason why I changed to (mostly) Khaite wardrobe. Got rid of most of my more colorful stuff and stuck to white, nude/beige/creme, a little black & gray. And pink (di ko kaya ilet go ang pink talaga) as my pop of color. It made a difference talaga in terms of spending and flexibility in the way I dress. Anyway, happy to know that you enjoyed your vacation. I hope you got to eat all the food you craved haha.

[@alyssa.lenore]

Thank you so much!! 😭🤎

[@garryhonosan]

This vlog bring back my memories when i was living there for 6 years 😢

[@maraelaiza]

You should visit Sicogon Island on your next trip back. It’s a perfect getaway if you want to relax. It’s near Islas de Gigantes so you can do island hopping (best to go there during summertime, March-April).

[@AllyshaYung]

love this vlog!

[@ielzki]

11:38 - 11:41! That’s me and my furbabies🙈 Hope you had a blast in Manila!

[@sululuxelife]

What a beautiful vlog ❤ thank you for sharing and the beach omg breathtaking it reminds me of Dominican Republic especially the ending from my experience visiting family it's bittersweet 🤍🙌🏽 the food I got hungry watching this lol

[@RAMIROFY]

Welcome back home Ate Alyssa. Wish on ur next travel i can join in the meetup 🥰🥰🥰

[@karenmanalo6986]

Yabu is the best! hope you enjoyed it. I miss it

[@pattlopez]

Im crying watching this vlog how i miss my family back in the Philippines 😢😢😢….

[@ChrisPajarillo]

god i miss home. thank you for this, love all you do

[@leinahlove]

Wish I get to meet you on your next Manila trip!💛

[@tonierose0283]

Omg it’s not often I hear Filipino Vloggers go to Clark in Pampanga. My home town!! Love it!! And yes, it makes sense. I left Pampanga when I was 5 for Sydney Australia so totally get it the “belonging” Have a fab time

[@alyssa.lenore]

Too short of a trip for sure, hoping to have a longer trip next time!

[@tonierose0283]

And I totally have the sentiment. It’s emotionally overwhelming the poverty of the country. So, much more needs to be done education, health, medical to name a few it’s overwhelming from all levels.

[@mariesanchez]

I’m glad you still speak Tagalog! 😊

[@ebud]

Omg so great ❤

[@donnavitan]

Oh gosh! Making me so hungry!!!

[@katrinapineda6873]

I love the dog bag so chiic. I'm from the PH too

[@maryannemojica1201]

I miss Manila, and how everything is close to each other. Syempre ang taho at bibingka❤😊 Thanks for sharing this vlog, parang nasa Pilipinas ulit ako. I can’t wait to go back. (hope to hear you guys talk more in tagalog 😅❤ - and I hope I bumped in to you in NYC 🙏🏻😊)

[@alyssa.lenore]

Trying to practice more for sure! hahah, really hope marco and I can go home every year, or every other year. 🤎

[@Kammm2020]

You should have gone to the BGC Google/KZbin HQ too - manila was number one in tech since the 70s, btw. That would've been a treat for you. Musems, and the Tech zones, etc. It was a good video, well done!

[@jamespittman]

Great video.😊

[@kathrynnrose]

ahhhh makes me miss home 🤍 thank you ate for always taking us along! [edit] OMG JUNGKOOK's CK photo 😵‍💫

[@alyssa.lenore]

🤎🤎🤎

[@pattlopez]

FYI Megamall and podium is my go to place for a me time back there ❤❤❤

[@janicemedina9638]

You guys are Kabalen 🫶🏽 love it ❤ I’m from Masantol Pampanga but live in Cali

[@acathslife]

Ugh I miss the Philippines, if I saw you at Rockwell I would have screamed "OMG ALYSSA AND MARCO!!!" LOL

[@paulonsantos0102]

wish you get to go to El Nido/Coron/ Siargao 💘

[@malonehn3224]

is it in BGC? your meet and greet venue..so sad i missed it. huhuhu

[@lalalozer]

Love! I will be going home to Manila in December and I'll be staying at the Shangri-La at the Fort as well :)

[@alyssa.lenore]

Yay!! Love Manila during Christmas 🥹

[@lalalozer]

@@alyssa.lenore It has been more than two decades since I last spent Christmas there!

[@brn6246]

😍😍😍😍

[@ry_ry__]

I love Yabu! I miss it 😅

[@mdettec-97]

Where are those filipiniana outfits from? So cute!

[@girlbossincel]

Where's your beautiful nail polish from? Xx

[@user-bn1ht9uc6z]

Алисса,спасибо большое за прогулку вместе с Вами ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@___R___8]

“Do we just cross whenever?” Yup hahahahaha welcome to the philippines indeed! 😂

[@alyssa.lenore]

😂

[@SequinsandLux]

I’m half Salvadoran so I feel your sentiments on traveling to a place that can be polarizing in certain ways because of it being a third world country but absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@chineecruz8626]

Hope you liked the bichon frise tote and stickers! 🥰

[@alyssa.lenore]

Thank you!! 😭🤎

[@gonewiththewindddd]

were you able to use uber in the ph as well? or did you have to download grab 👀

[@alyssa.lenore]

No Ubers! So we just used grab, it was easy!

[@misha9397]

Thats when you know you’re in the Philippines

[@mrtnzeya]

The two pups you saw were Reese and Smores! 😆

[@ainahgenegozo4828]

[@ramzballenas4934]

Hey Alyssa, I love watching your vlog, but sometimes, the music is way too loud and then I have to lower down the volume, and then I can’t hear your voice so I have to increase the volume, lol.

[@kayflip2233]

You're still native born and raised Filipina - you should be proud of that. Yes America is now your home as an immigrant, but no need to reject your roots. At the end of the day you're not White and White people will never accept you as one of them. I am Filipino American born and raised but still claim the Philippines more than America.

[@BG60311]

It is a developing country and there’s poverty and it’s visible. Yet Filipinos are honestly tired of hearing that as it really just reiterate the obvious. We don’t go to NYC to focus and be conflicted about the homelessness and drug abuse around it’s there it is visible and it’s a reality bigger than most of us. The Philippines, with the inefficiency and corruption of the national government, was able to create a middle class and it’s not as small as people might think. I was born and raised in Europe and I used to always make the same comment but I stopped after living in the Philippines 🇵🇭anyhow nothing wrong if you’ve pointed this out, at the end of the day it’s the truth.

[@lilmissceej]

Buy a suitcase? Thats what Balakbayan 📦 are for 😂

[@serionhelbert]

NAIA is always a shame

[@sandrafernandes7420]

She is pregnant. ont get me wrong. OMG.

[@Oceanawaves]

Please stop the loud music on your videos! I am probably one of your biggest fans. Your voice and videos influence me to buy, but the music you play is so loud. If I need Beyonce I will listen to it on my own. You don't need music to make your videos successful!
