[@superupsman]

Thanks!

[@TheOttecarlos]

Good for you to have checked out the cathedral. Now you will be blessed and protected on all ypur voyages.

[@CoffeeMagical]

You are the best virtual tour guide Mergim. You deserve to be interviewed on TV. DOT should make you a tourism ambassador.

[@lemnikim7388]

Awesome vlog. I really like it when you cover other places in the Philippines that no other vloggers covers. Keep it up my friend. Looking forward to your next vlog.👍🏼❤️

[@vendweler]

The Weather is Pretty cool up there specially in Tanay you can go hiking not A lot of foreign vloggers visit Tanay. There are Coffee Shops there with spectacular view specially along Marilaque Highway in Sampaloc Tanay.

[@frankthegamerespiritu8655]

You're the James Bond of vloggers Mergin, Keep it on. Stay safe and watch "ur health too.

[@mr.saltzmann7075]

[@Marie760]

Thank you for the research on the origins of the name Antipolo… I didn’t know all that.

[@jayyjay8082]

Another enjoyable,awesome video from the tireless adventurer Mergim. Our Lady of Antipolo Mama Mary, pray for us 🙏 💐💐💐

[@bonlavel9740]

Mergim The Mother Mary of Antipolo was called Our Lady of good voyage she was the patron saint of travellers .Also In our earlier years.we use to conduct Pilgrimage there We are coming from Paranaque to Antipolo cathedral by just walking.

[@blastermaster5039]

Its always fun to do 'alay lakad'. It might be the reason why I am so used to walking and cycling till now. But doing the whole thing from Quiapo to Antipolo is something I'll never do again(perhaps with friends.).

[@pjennings9999]

I got my car blessed at that cathedral 😁🚗. Another original vlog 👍

Congratulations! You just witnessed for the first time a filipino style wedding. Fun fact- the grooms top (or majority of what the men were wearing) is called a barong tagalog. And the fans that everybody was using is called an "anahaw" fan made from the anahaw leaves

[@aldrinsa1203]

always watching your vlog 😊 no skipping ads

[@michaelgrant2132]

Consider visiting Art Sector Gallery and Chimney Cafe 360, Eastridge Ave, Binangonan, Rizal. Great sunset views over Manila & some interesting art. Haven't seen this location included in any vlogs. This is where I spent my last evening in the Philippines in Feb 2020 with my future wife. A special place for us. Also Regina Rica is well worth a visit. 🇵🇭❤️

[@Gold-tj1rt]

when Spain conquered us there was trade between Mexico and Manila, it was a big commerce at that time that even the King of Spain deeclared Manila and Mexico be sister city. It was the galleon trade that brought the image of Our Laqdy andthe Black Nazarene of Quiapo to Man8ila.It wasthe wood used to carve that made both imagesw blac that is one theory the other is that it was based to the skin tones of some mexicans.Bothe images were first installed in Intramuros then they transferred it to Quiapo andAntipolo.

[@victormina7438]

I remember when I was young, me and my mother used to attend mass in Antipolo cathedral.

[@irmabatey9109]

Hi Mergim👋 Having goosebumps while watching this vlog especially when you explained about Mama Mary and the construction of the church, thnx for informing us that She's the Black Madonna, and the origin of the name Antipolo.We just used to call her Our Lady of Antipolo. Very informative vlogs, thnx🤗🥰👍tcare, stay safe

[@meekachu6330]

Since u're in the antipolo area, might as well go the number one tourist attraction there which is Masungi Georeserve. Make sure u call them first and make a reservation.

[@mrpanicattack6688]

3:58 And just like that, you’re now a wedding videographer 😉

[@esperanzacorazon9686]

there's a big part of antipolo called cogeo. it's west of that place you went to. going there, you will find a big big robinson's mall. when you reach cogeo or masinag, there are two big malls, sm masinag and ayala mall. and the last station of lrt2 whcich comes from divisoria area ends in masinag, cogeo, antipolo also.

[@cecilroldan280]

Hi Mergim please visit starbucks in Tagaytay thw amazing views of Taal volcano and Twin hotel thank you keep going stay safe

[@bigbad_roy]

Mergim, try to drive and visit Sumulong highway. There's a lot of restaurant and cafe around the area with overlooking views of the Metro. Make sure you stay until sunset.

[@alprez3614]

Mergim, you can't leave the PH without purchasing a "Barong Tagalog" (the formal shirt you saw at the church that the men wore), and a custom made leather formal shoes from a store in Marikina ( shoe capital of the PH ) This basically means you are an honorary Filipino.

[@carlomartinez2571]

Barong is a traditional Filipino men clothing.

[@gracer1173]

Mergim is "no frills" and keeps it simple, whether it's getting something to drink or eat. Very practical and it's a good trait!

[@jenferrer4621]

Mergim - Dang. I really want to see Art in Antipolo. Anyway, the wedding scene was lovely. Lastly, could it be possible you are being mistaken for Benedict Cumberbatch on his day off?

good morning iam always watching your blog daily

[@elmar_eldnah]

Up to this time, some people from Metro Manila, during Holy Week, make a pilgrimage there, by just walking up to Antipolo Cathedral, mostly on the evening of Maundy Thursday reaching the church before midnight. Some people here are already suggesting you go to Masungi Georeserve which I have not been to, and wish you cover it. I believe it is in Baras, another town of Rizal province. Another one is the Daranak falls in Tanay, Rizal which I have been to twice already years/decades ago and totally different now. There are many sites to see in Rizal province.

[@Ryuuu6581]

There's actually a bigger mall than Victory Mall (the one you entered to) it's called Robinson's Antipolo and it's just behind the tree you talked about earlier. If you wanna know how big is it, take your local Walmart store, and double the size of it. Maybe even 3 times. That's how big it is. They have 2 movie theaters, a department store, a gaming zone, appliances store, toys r us, they even have Popeyes inside of the mall, which is a pretty rare fast food chain in the Philippines.

[@susancuello4073]

The last time as was there was in 1969 and at that time we called it excursion to Antipolo. The place had changed a lot.

[@blackswan640]

You have to visit Angono, the Art Capital of The Philippines

Idk if you'll go back to Bantayan but they also have a church there and on the northern part of the island there is a fort. Keep up the vids bro and hope to run into one day if I come back on vacation lol

Mergim, after the wedding is the reception either done in a hotel or a private venue. You should have attended the wedding, just show the videos you took during the wedding. Lol....you know what, you can be a wedding videographer coz your editing is fantastic

[@chitocucio4573]

I’m a bit emotional watching the Antipolo Cathedral for it was the last place visited by my 80-year old aunt who passed away last week. It was a family tradition attending mass there at least once a year, and having been locked down in two years, coming up there last summer was her one fervent wish. And, it was wish granted with the parish priest even allowing her to go and see Our Lady up close and personnel in her inner chambers.

Yes Antipolo was a sleepy town but not anymore. It has totaly changed! That Cathedral was where I got married too. In Catholic psyche, the Antipolo Cathedral is tops ahahahahaaaa! Filipino Catholicism, brought by the Spanish, honors the blacks. There's the black nazarene in Quiapo church, & the balck madonna in antipolo. I guess it has to do with the fact that Philippines is supposedly 3 types of race mixed up as time went by, the Chinese, Indo-Malay & Negrito. And way before Spain arrived, the Moro or Arab race were already here in the southernmost region, Mindanao. The Hindu or "Bombay" as called in Philippines, were said to have arrived by way of British ships that tried getting a piece of the continent in Easternmost Asia but some say that they've somehow reached by way of Indo - Malaysian peninsula. Enjoy Pinto Museum - Gallery, its realy a nice place.
