MY FIRST TIME in the Philippines [AMAZING] 🇵🇭 Manila

[@observations2011]

Just a glimpse of how Filipinos are into social media. Your subscribers will definitely increase here making it a vloggers paradise. Friendliest people, scenic islands, bustling cities, scourging heat of the sun. Welcome and enjoy your stay

[@zanetravel]

Thank you! 🙏

[@yayo4nasal]

Hey z, Just tip more than 15 pesos next time… as a foreigner, you should honestly be tipping 50-100pesos+ out of that 485 Pesos meal… just sayin lol

[@moonlight0526]

​@@yayo4nasal Lol it's his choice if he will tip or not, why are u pricing him?

[@yayo4nasal]

@@moonlight0526 my fault. Didnt me to come off negative- I worded that wrong. All im saying is, 15 pesos isnt 15 dollars… 10%of485 is about 50 pesos. A lot of people in places like he went to depend on gratuity as the hourly rate in phil sucks. Didnt mean to “price” him.

[@kalocohan]

@@yayo4nasal lol, now you just priced the whole 'lot of people'. Let me enjoy this Seinfeld moment... 😂😂😂😆😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣

[@shoshana54]

We eat Lechon Asado in Puerto Rico!! That's our specialty. Remember Spanish influence.

[@MakiKinder]

Welcome to the Philippines! Like with any unfamiliar territory, proceed with caution ... but continue arming yourself with that charming smile and soak it up. You'll do better than fine, the people will love will you.

New subs here. Here you will experience the bayanihan spirit of the Filipino. They will support you thru viewers and at the same time we are thankful for visiting our country. It's a win win situation for all vloggers and the economy of the Philippines. 😊

I, too, am going to the Philippines this April to visit my friends again! 🤗

[@rosannehernandez2514]

Oh! It's Zane! I follow him before on his Tarot Intuitive Reading videos. I was surprised that he chose Philippines as a Travel destination. To Zane, enjoy your trip and you are good with your Tagalog words.

[@pattypatty5567]

Say hi from Thailand :) In this video I can feel the chaotic vibes like you said. So far people there are nice and friendly (especially ones at the airport). Enjoy your trip! I'll be waiting to see your next videos

[@ruthresultan1463]

You are one brave guy to brave the streets of Binondo at 11pm. Thank you for showing the Philippines to the world! Take care!

[@j_Mv7907]

The oldest chinatown. Enjoy Manila -- there's a whole lot to explore in the metropolis. A mix of the old and the new structures and landscapes. And the biggest highlight of course, is the people with the warmest welcome and gesture. Mabuhay! 👋👊♥️

Definitely!

Binondo, Ongpin in Chinatown were some of my favorite places to go in Manila. I buy my souvenirs to take back with me to give to my co-workers here in California.♥️🤣♥️

[@geov3138]

go to Legazpi Village or Salcedo Village Makati. Very good neighborhood vibes. Safe and easy to walk around. And then there's BGC which is like a different world.

[@marikitliwayway6703]

Go to Baguio City or Tagaytay before you hit islands. Baguio and Tagaytay is within same island as Manila and do not require plane travel just a few hours bus ride

Chuan Kee is owned by Gerry Chua who owns Eng Bee Tin pastries- the store is next to the Ramada. Note, the purple uniforms. He is also the founder of Text Fire- a volunteer fire fighter service in Binondo. And this is why you see fire trucks always on the streets. Have fun and be safe amongst my people, aking mga kababayan!

[@richardnuevo]

Manila is such a big city or should I say a metropolitan city and you'll be surprise in it's diversity. Some areas can be chaotic, others are calm and luxurious and others are old and then there's the modern parts and everything in between

[@Spy-hp8ki]

See Intramuros, the Manila Bay (at sunset), Fort Santiago, and Rizal Park. That's it, really, for Manila. If you want to go to the more upscale areas of Metro Manila, go to Makati and/or BGC. San Miguel and Red Horse are the two main beers in the Philippines. "Magandang umaga" (Good morning.) "Magandang tanghali" (Good noon.) "Magandang hapon" (Good afternoon.) "Magandang gabi" (Good evening.)

Upstairs from that soup dumpling shop is the same owner’s restaurant but no lines. Just pay a little bit more because you’d be supporting the local volunteer fire brigade. They also own the Buddha place beside your hotel that sells chinese snacks. There’s a restaurant too. Lord’s Stows that you passed twice or thrice is a great coffee place that serves Portuguese Chinese egg tarts.

[@vivicavids3486]

Welcome to the Philippines! As with any big city, exercise the same precautions. Be mindful of your surroundings. I never ride the taxi only Grab if available, as to avoid the hassle of haggling. Check out the freshly cooked foods (like fried chicken, siopao, hot dogs) in convenience stores if are hungry, they are cheap and hot.

[@rodcervantes3827]

Welcome to the Philippines and cheers to more travel here in our beautiful country.

[@zanetravel]

[@enricocontrerasaraneta7290]

Even in older areas of manila Chinatown...side markets are cleaner and organized

I'm Filipino living here now in the UK, but I haven't been to Binondo Chinatown. That's one of my bucketlist when I got a chance to visit the Philippines again. The food is a must try 😊

Binondo being a very busy Chinese area but I am quite impressed because the streets are relatively neat and clean.

[@kalocohan]

Philippines: anything purple food almost always equates to Ube which is purple yam. Desserts never fail with Ube: Halo Halo is a must. You hit the jackpot with: LECHON, roasted pork with the sauce unfound in any part of the planet. If you are a modern malls person: BCG and Mall of Asia (MOA). My wife loves your Bangkok trip and now you are in my country. Enjoy!!! 😂

[@jennyzubiri9312]

Mall of Asia is really lame if you compare it to the bigs malls in Bangkok. I would skip MOA and any mall in general besides Greenbelt. Manila shines in its walkable districts like Makati and BGC. The malls are just ok

[@ImXamm1474]

Roasted pork with sauce is common in Asia you can find almost everywhere in China,Hongkong,Thailand,Singapore etc.

[@kalocohan]

@@ImXamm1474 you are correct. I was actually referring to the crazy brown sauce they serve along with it.... Not a lot, if any of lechon serving countries serve it with that delish sauce. I've seen black sauce, hoisin, etc. The Philippine one seems unique though.

[@aidalearedam3568]

​​@@jennyzubiri9312 malls in the Philippines in terms of structure and interiors are at par with other malls in the world esp sm malls like sm aura and ayala malls like in greenbelt and bgc their the best in Asia

[@jennyzubiri9312]

@@aidalearedam3568 look at a video of Icon Siam. Please dont lie and act like we have a mall like that. We just have very big malls, but they’re nothing special or interesting. Icon Siam actually showcases Thai culture in a beautiful way. SM Malls are just big and plain.

[@filipinolifestyleincali9262]

Escolta, is the first and oldest business district in the country. Thanks for visiting.

[@jonathanbuhay8794]

I do the same thing with ATMs in Vegas. Making sure it is secure, not loose or flimsy. I have been scammed in Vegas in the past so it's definitely wise to check ATMs you use. Enjoy the PI.

Since you are in the old manila area, you may want to go to intramuros, arroceros forest park, luneta park, the bay area, the dolomite beach, and watch the magical manila bay sunset.

Binondo is a good mix of chaos and order. Once you leave Binondo, it feels more chaotic and dangerous in the surrounding neighborhoods. Best parts of Manila are BGC and Makati CBD (not the Poblacion redlight district but the actual CBD area around Ayala). You’ll feel completely safe and it’s so easy to walk everywhere

[@zanetravel]

Thank you for the tips!

I think you're the only vlogger I've watched who went inside a bookstore and the only one who waited in line to get in a restaurant. I hope that you could get to see more of Manila and its surrounding cities. If you get to Quezon City, try visiting Art In Island, but not on a Monday since they are closed. Go to Ocean Park when in Manila and Baguio City for a cooler weather.

In Filipino dishes/cuisine, we don't use much spices, herb and chilis unlike our other Asian neighbours. Our food is very straightforward, yet very delicious. Spanish influence is obvious too, such as our national dish which is Adobo (spanish for marinate). We also don't use chopsticks unlike almost all our Asian neighbours. Also, vinegar and sugar is very present in almost all of our food esp the street food. It' like taste bud activator. haha 😊

[@jervesheart]

I’m surprised there is a 4-star hotel in Binondo. Most of the buildings there are dilapidated. Binondo and Escolta is like the old business district in Manila. Unfortunately, it was already left behind.

[@derbdep]

Mabuhay Zane! Definitely recommend staying and hanging around BGC which is the new downtown area for Metro Manila. Makati CBD is also really nice, as is Ortigas (they're the 3 main downtown areas) - the area around MOA is a large new area in the Bay - you can see the world's largest Ikea, and the worlds second largest dancing fountain at Okada. They do free shows between 6-10pm every day. If you're able to go to Baguio and the Cordillera highlands and see the 2500 year old rice terraces on the UNESCO world heritage list (its 3-4 hour trip via bus on the expressway to Baguio, but a longer trip to see the rice terraces once you're in the pine-filled highlands) - or Batanes (the NZ of Southeast Asia), its highly highly recommended :)
