This is my first time visiting the uptown area of BGC in Manila, Philippines. BGC is known as the modern area of Manila, Philippines with all of the foreign restaurants you could want. In this video I found an American restaurant that I had to try, and I gave a condo tour of a room I found on Airbnb for roughly $70. Thank you for watching!

I'm visiting the Phillipines in February, I've really appreciated your videos and how much they have helped teach me about the country!

M. Manila has 16 business districts like Aseana, Ayala center, Circuit Makati, Rockwell, Newport city, Greenhills, Ortigas center, Greenfield district, C5 corridor, Araneta center, Triangle park, Eastwood city,Arca south, BGC, McKinley hill, and Filinvest Alabang.These are the business districts that you can visit while you're in Manila.

Philippines is like halo-halo you can experience the modern to rural life, city to island life or crowded city or to be alone in un spoiled island beach . I enjoyed your Blog and say Hello for me to Uncle Sam

Yeah that great π not to late β° itβs better late than never ,, visiting BGC.. yeah of course Philippines π΅π must have its dynamics ..from the beautiful π€© island paradise to jump and diverse to a beautiful modern skyscraper π π

Jonathan, your reaction and disbelief that there is actually a Buffalo Wild Wings in the Philippines is genuine. Welcome to Metro Manila! Have a safe flight back to AL with your family.

Hi Jonathan! You're right when you implied that the real Philippines is not found in well-developed cities like the BGC area...but in areas outside the big cities. Same in other counties...when I travel, I try to get out of the city and roam around the areas outside the city....I think that's a more appropriate way of immersing yourself in the culture of another country.

Enjoyed watching this video of yours. Happy holidays! Enjoy! ππππ
-
I really enjoyed watching your video! Thanks for the tour!
-
That's a nice view for the Dec.24th fireworks and the New year also...enjoy Manila a lot to vlog π

I thought you'll be in Manila for a while. I love the fact that you still say Ayo Ayo even here in Manila. Safe travels to the US!

This is a different perspective. He is one of the experts on Philippine travel. Love it! β€β€β€

First time to watch your page. I haven't been to that part of BGC. I'm a subscriber now!
-
Itβs so entertaining to watch you surprised what Metro Manila is. Iβm happy for you discovering the other side of the Philippines since youβve been mostly in southern and central regions. Good experience as youβve seen both but the provinces is more of nature and relaxed life.
-
Jonathan, most American food, they have them in the Philippines. After all, you are in BGC. Modern and rich place in the Philippines. Glad, the Buffalo wings passed your expectation.
-
Glad you took the leap to come to Manila. There is a huge difference when you are at the province.
-
That's an amazing face there Jonathan, it totally says how pleasantly surprised you are with the presence of Wild Buffalo Wings here! Welcome to our literally WARM country of the Philippines! π΅ππ΅ππ΅π Salamat kaayo!! Amping!

Hi Jonathan! Dan and Myra Frye here from Albuquerque ,NM we started watching your videos in the Philippines about 2 weeks ago. We have been enjoying all of it, please donβt get tired posting them. You are always so positive and keep it that way. Iβm a Filipino and Dan is Caucasian . He canβt wait to come and visit places that youβve shown in the videos. Please always take care and God Bless You!!!

Wow you really enjoy your stay here,thank you for your love of our country,stay safe ,take care and God Bless
-
thanks bro. thats why i like ur vlogg you really embrace the culture Pilipino.
-
I just dont get it like when someone says this isn't just because you've seen its modernity and with so much prosperity some will say this is not the Philippines... Like for real this is the Philippines common. This is the Philippines in all of its variety. Perhaps you wanted to see beaches, farmlands and simple people in the provinces but whether you are in the big cities or any remote places man you are still in the Philippines.
