I travel to BGC regularly from London. From my experience, BGC & Dubai are two cities I can walk around in at night without fearing for my safety or having to worry about drunk people bothering me.

[@finnishyourplate]

When I was in Manila, I noticed that all the dishes were really nicely plated, all the dishes looked extra beautiful. The restaurants really put a lot of effort in presentation.

[@Jaycation]

they really do take a lot of effort

[@IronMkT682]

Jay, you do you man. Don’t let the haters get to you because many of us appreciate the way you express yourself through your genuine unique content.

[@Rosie017]

I agree. Jay you do you sir. Haters always gonna hate though...but you're better than that. Take care & enjoy the Philippines 🤙🏼

[@boomertuber8878]

This feels like it could have been filmed in San Diego. Anericam style restaurants and food.

[@Jaycation]

boom! mr tuber!

[@very_awake]

Last time I visited the Philippines was back in 2018. I think I’m due for another trip. Awesome video.

[@Aloha74]

Hey Jay- been watching your Hawaiian vlogs especially with Sean K. And Amanda and Felix. Glad that you decided to document the PI experience. Haven’t been able to actually visit the PI for fun for over 40 years. Thanks for sharing these vlogs.

[@KaidePH]

My Tito and Tita is from Sta. Rosa Tito was a former Basketball player.

[@EW-cq6yv]

These videos have been absolutely amazing. Please do not let the haters get to you man. You’ve put so much into these videos and I truly appreciate them.

[@Jaycation]

Thanks i appreciate the support! Dont worry got the hater blockers on! Just had to acknowledge it! 😎

[@RoderickTom-ge1vc]

Looks like Fun, i need to go to Pi, my wife is from Laguna and we live in the Bay Area. Never been to Pi

[@ODCyr70]

I've been watching your videos for awhile in San Diego, New York, Vegas with ActionKid. I enjoyed this BGC video so much since I've never been there yet and you gave me ideas where to go. I watched several videos from others around BGC area but I found yours to be informative since you tried some nice restaurants/bar and cozy places to hang out. BGC did not exist yet at the time I left Manila and was so excited to watch your vlog. Thank you so much Jaycation for featuring BGC and will wait for your next videos. Take care and enjoy your great tour of the Philippines.

[@Jaycation]

Thanks for the support! AK is the best. I appreciate the kind words

[@ODCyr70]

@@Jaycation you're very welcome! AK, yourself are those that make videos with sense, reason why I am a subscriber.

[@crossovr1968]

Lemme talk to Ya!!! It never ceases to amaze me, the gall of people to criticize content… if you don’t like it, think it’s suspect, or you can’t control your crabby--just swipe past! Watch something else! Or, look in the mirror and criticize what you see… you’ll be looking at the only person who cares about your critique. YEAH!!!😎 This trip vlog has been great content, nice to see other parts of the world through a creator’s lens👍🏾

[@luvtravel2927]

Love seeing the food and prices. The place is beautiful love the walk ability. Nice to see you with family.

It really is! Thanks

Hi Bro kabayan Jay! Enjoy ur stay in our Beautiful Country 🇵🇭 GODBLESS.

[@latruce]

Don’t worry about those “view grab” people. There are some people who go for view grabs but you’re not them. You’re showing your real days in BGC, and have a real on the ground look at it. Keep doing your thing. We know you are real!

[@bobblebunny219]

Agreed, no one keeps it real quite like Jay 👍

Good choice. We always stay in BGC when we go to the Philippines.

[@Jaycation]

great call!

[@Trixie0125]

Love that you got undies for Moncation lol. Also loving the Philippines content, especially BGC. It's probably where I'd want to stay myself since I haven't been back in over 30 years. Keep the vids coming!

[@Jaycation]

haha u know whats up! hope u get to visit sometime in the future!

[@bobblebunny219]

The barber done a great job. I'm really enjoying this style of video as its great hanging out with you n seeing what you get up to on your trip. P.s I saw some fun looking trips on Viator Manila that might make a good day out for you?

[@Jaycation]

viator is cool but u dont really need a tour guide IMO but thats just me haha

[@paulcloud-g3q]

Great you went home... give your jaycation view of BGC... hopefully you will be able to explore other places of PI

[@Jaycation]

more to come

[@pinoyhype]

Nice to see you there finally in the MOTHERLAND. Gonna be there in May again and Japan. May need to check out the spots you check out. Enjoy Jay. We gotta kick it sometimes when your in Sactown.

[@TheHost345]

Whale… i’ve always wanted to know what “bgc” is all about.. Thank you for your unique content 😊

[@jetd9716]

I have to admit as a local Manila man, BGC is nice place to stay for a few days but I find it very limited and boring after a few days staying in it. If you want to experience the Filipino experience you have to venture out and see several islands attractions and scenery. This is where the our islands really shines. BGC has good American eats though. Love the burgers and Fajitas @ Chilis in BGC, reminds me back home in Arizona.

[@enjoybeautifulsandiego1]

SOEN puntee is my guess 😂 Thanks for the fun Philippines content! 🙏

[@Jaycation]

LOL iykyk

[@spitfirelucid]

There's a Las Flores by 25th St. Apt 1B by Arya Residences, Wholesome Table at High Street and a Dean and DeLuca near Track 30th. Also get Caramia ube white chocolate gelato ❤ Happy Eating 👍

[@gildizon6458]

Thanks for sharing Jay, you don’t disappoint. It’s been over 5 years since I visited BGC but you make it seem it was yesterday. 🤙

[@Jaycation]

thanks gil!

[@xericxonyoutube]

One thing that always surprises me in Manila (in the nice areas) is the quality of sushi, even at the food courts, its pretty good, especially for the price. I tried Hawker Chan in Singapore, it was pretty bad (tried an outlet at the food court at Gardens by the bay but it wasn't a busy foodcourt so I think food sat out and quality wasn't like the OG ones). Yours looked way better.

[@joeyquichocho]

Thank you for always sharing the restaurants around the area and always an amazing vlogs all around

[@Jaycation]

i appreciate that!

[@1takesituation]

Incredible Airbnb find. Looking forward to the Intramuros video!

We all come to BGC simply because it's the safest place in Manila

Not true, that's the perspective from a foreigner. We locals know there are more to Manila that is safe to go to at night than BGC.

16:52 They need: 5 Guys burgers, Chipotle & In and out burgers there.

[@jetd9716]

No, none of them are here. They do have Chilis and TGIF's and Denny's which I have to admit makes any American Denny's look and taste bad. And I have live in the West Coast for 40 yrs plus and the Denny's here in Alabang (Exclusive neighborhood) kinda richy was out of this world, they do chicken, pancakes and chicken steak right and the servings were huge and the ingredients farm fresh, no soggy tomatoes or lettuce.

It literally doesn’t make sense to accuse a KZbinr of doing something “for the views.” That’s like accusing an author of writing a book because “they just want people to read it.” No duh. And you are Filipino-American. Why WOULDN’T you document this trip? That’s just silly.

You might even think about doing a music video reaction content once or twice a week of all amazing filipina and filipino singers or even international singers 👍! Keep up the good work 🎸

[@peteperico8814]

Jay, you can research how other international reactors react to filipino artists and how they upload their music content to avoid copyright. For example .. type in KZbin search box .. Gigi De Lana Reactions.

[@Jaycation]

so many amazing filipino singers here!

[@peteperico8814]

You're absolutely 100% right Jay! I don't know if music video reaction and analysis content would be something you'd be interested in? I've noticed alot of international reactors reacting to filipina and filipino singers and they're getting unbelievable amount of views and subscribers! Just check out their reactions when you get chance. For example .. type in the KZbin search box .. Gigi De Lana reaction. You'll see all the international reactors reacting to her music.
