Which area is best to stay in Manila?

[@trailerpartsunlimited]

I’ve been “trying” to research traveling ph for 6 months for my trip December. It was real easy to plan my trip to thailand last year but I can’t find any good videos on the Ph for single guys. I’d say your video is the most informative so far

[@MRMAARK]

Cheers mate any questions hit me up ...

[@riayap8501]

I think it depends where in Makati you stay. The CBD is built up.

Thanks I was actually trying to answer this exact question yesterday as I was looking for a condo in either of these two and I wasn't sure which. I usually don't stay in Manila that long and had my favourite hotel in Paranaque. But this time I'm staying longer.

[@MRMAARK]

Hope it helps

[@backontherighttrack.]

@@MRMAARK yes I'm getting one in Makati.

[@Dude6311]

Nice explanation bro, actually what was I was looking for

[@MRMAARK]

no worries check out BGc but party in makati

[@jonaho.119]

Bro! Thanks & would love some photos /videos of Manila in this video

[@MRMAARK]

Yeah I didn't realise at the time I can d/l my old videos from YT and chop them up, I deleted the actual footage ....

You mentioned about beggars/poverty here, i think (and this is just based on my observation), here in PH, wealth is more unevenly distributed compared to Thailand. Coz here, here you have the ultra rich, but you also have the ultra poor. And those in between are much fewer than the poor. I'm not an expert on economy, but although Thailand's GDP is bigger than ours, their external debt is also twice as much as yours. So maybe we are just about as rich, if not richer than Thailand. But again, it seems that in Thailand, wealth is more evenly distributed. Hence, you see much less poverty there than here. About transportation, we have LRT, buses and jeepneys which are cheap. But you have to know their routes so you know which ones to take to get to your destination. There's also Pasig River Ferry and EDSA Carousel bus which are free. Hope we see you again someday here in PH. There's still tons of places to explore here. ᵔᴗᵔ

[@MRMAARK]

I will be back :)

I'm going to stay at New World Makati Hotel is that also considered a safe area? i think it's close to Greenbelt 3 but it's my first time to manila so definitely excited for this new trip!

[@MRMAARK]

i never had any danger in the Philippines just be careful and you will be fine , greenbelt is a nice area!

[@AllOut305]

Great video. 1st time traveler to Manila. Should i avoid staying close to P.Burgos (red light area) Id like to meet normal girls not pay to play and i would like to be around nightlife but a safe area at night

[@MRMAARK]

I would say download tinder and stay abit further out from p.burgos street ,has obviously alot of working girls but also has alot of normal girls who like to party there , there is a couch surfing meet up on thursdays maybe you should check it out.... just dont use CS like a tinder ppl get fed up with that lol... but really cool nice people

[@rgasta7765]

What is CS?

[@frankoseven]

Good to know. If I ever been in the phillipnes I will check it out

[@MRMAARK]

bgc is nice but i wouldn't stay there ;)

[@fredtayam3638]

Is it common practice to ask for 1 year of rent in advance in the Philippines ?

[@pinkish8888]

Welcome back to the Philippines 🎉

[@MRMAARK]

im in the uk ....

[@porkpie8667]

What was your daily budget ?

[@MRMAARK]

Didnt have a strict budget .... but the taxi's add up and if you stay in hotels at £20+ a night plus drinking it adds up quick , id rather come home early and not have a tight budget everyday i spent different amounts ....
