HAPPYLAND - Inside Manila's Most Dangerous Hood 🇵🇭
Welcome to what is called the most dangerous and densely populated neighbourhood in Manila, Tondo. Also known to be one of the happiest places in the Philippines, going by the nickname 'Happyland'. We went to investigate this neighbourhood, meet it's kind residents, and try some of the local street food at Ugbo night market. Filipino people are some of the kindest people on earth and the residents of Tondo are a great representation of the countries kindness. One of the reasons the Philippines is one of my favourite countries!
Enjoy our day in Tondo!

You missed the way the lychee seller tapped the cash over is tables. That meant you were his first customer of the day and its a ritual to help him bring more sales.
I discovered your blogs recently and I love it! Now I’m hooked and there’s no dull moment. One of the good thing about the Philippines is the people in all walks of life can communicate very well.
It’s the soul of our nation. It’s a melting pot of the socio-eco system of the nation. We salute your effort to promote out culture. Chef M.,
Just be careful when you go to crowded areas here in the phils. Make sure your body bag, wallets, celfons are secured in front of your body because there are some bad elements among the crowd lurking to find would be victims of snatching or pick pocketing. But all in all, enjoy the beautiful, hospitable, kind people and beautiful places of our country, the Philippines.
Love this content. Seeing people travel and visit Tondo is so cool, born and raised! I gotta go back next year!
Your girl is very friendly and nice and pretty keep her❤, i miss my country, enjoy your stay

This is the greatest vlog ever
Filipinos can be the friend that is willing to give his shirt off his back to help you BUT if you piss a Filipino off, they can be the most vicious and vindictive enemy that you will ever have in your life.
New Sub here from a Filipino working overseas! ❤❤❤❤

@Seal On Tour in the philippines when someone dies especially if they're from a poor family having a gambling session at the their wake is a big help for the bereaved family because they collect the money (we called tong in tagalog) earned from each gambling table and they used to pay for the funeral expenses , and i think its only in the [hilippines that have gambling sessions during a wake 😅 sometimes they also hve drinking sessions witj karaoke if the late is a drinker and loves to sing😄
Filipinos has the best character in the world, Enjoy and stay safe in my loving country Philippines, It's more fun in the Philippines 🇵🇭

Hello! I don't watch vlogs that much but somehow your content was recommended to me. Is it just me or you look kinda like Pedro Pascal😁❤️🇵🇭. Anyways stay safe out there and enjoy💞
At the 20:18 mark you reference the toys the children are playing with. In Canada, during the late 60’s early 70’s, we had these “clackers” we played with, a fad that died out and has recently been resurrected here in the Philippines…Have enjoyed watching your adventures!
Love from srilanka 🇱🇰
12:08 Man this cracked me up ahahahahha
Thank you for your kindness ❤
Gambling in Filipino funeral is common practice but only for lower middle class income because gambling will help with the payment of funeral services. Love your vlog it's raw. You just earned a new subscriber.
7:11 You need to try the quail eggs. I love them!
I like how you guys are always down to drink and eat anything lmao!
lololol, you both are hilarious and love the sarcasm. Still a great video
I miss those neighborhoods &. Wet markets! My usual hangout where I get my latest gossips too!
They clean the chicken poop out of those intestines of course! 😂 Awesome video, love this couple, they always seem to be popular whenever they go around the town and you guys seem to welcome the warmth of people welcoming you. Very friendly couple ❤ Unlike some vloggers who wouldn't even fist bump people and would hurry tf out 😂👍🏻❤

You guys are real trooper
Some people are gambling in funeral to earn money for the funeral ...
Welcome to our country enjoy
Love your raw video
This guy is amazing. Ja, Ja, ja when you eat the ice cream you really look like a dragon.
I love your adventurousness. try to take it easy on "magic sugar", I think thats aspartame.
Nice vlog of the place man! Greetings Fm North Vancouver BC Canada
I really wanna watch this kind of videos
The Happy land of now used to be a killer land. Not even cops able to enter in narrow streets during the night. Tons of gangsters and shootouts. Now, its a symbol of mixture of poverty and hyped energetic neighborhoods. Still be very careful walking in the streets everywhere in Tondo. Especially during the night because there are still hot spots in there.

The guy looks like Rez Cortez, the actor in the 70s 80’s
My friend said that according to his parents, most of the original residents of Tondo when they earned their notoriety where relocated to Cavite in the 80s. And that's why right now most crimes we see on news are centered around the 80vac area and almost none in Tondo
fun fact: 1. funeral here in PH is actually a reunion. 2.gambling is legal 3. band or karaoke on the last day of mourn so much more
Isaw is clean it reverse the inner to into outer so its clean
6:26 "but i think it wasnt a bro" 💀 ur funny bro ur right 🤣 subbed! 👊
Great!
hey guys, love the video, it is customary that filipinos have some kind of entertainment to stay awake during the wake that lasts from 3 to 5 days.. anything to keep everyone awake, superstition says that if you fall asleep, demons will steal the dead body of thier loved ones.

That Kids Toy We called it Here in the PH " Lato - Lato" its Very Famous Toy Here
Everyone is like a friend 😂 You feel like everyone knows you before
That's a very dangerous place during 60s to early 2000s.
5:38 He said you are "pogi" it means "handsome"
Enjoy for my country ❤❤❤
That's my mum right there on a greenshirt ❤️ 5:27
Those toys are called Clackers I played with them when I was a kid in the 70’s in Texas.
Gambling at funerals is one way of raising funds to cover funeral costs.
good vibes
your friendly too bro.👍👍👍👍
full time criminals anywhere in Philippines will not expose themselves there. but if they really want to kill or assinate or rob someone it does happen daytime of nighttime. your just seeing the nice behaviours of Pinoys. overall Pinoys are very hospitable and kind and happy and joyful at all times.
wow 😮
In the Philippines we call it trycicle In Thailand they call it Tuktuk In India they are Ricksaw
Tondo is not the most dangerous place in Manila..Peace and order have been resolved in Manila.. ‘twas before in the 60’s & 70’s because of gang war.. Just explore more in the provinces from the Aparri to Sulo.
That's PagPag chicken you had, brave man!😂🤣
The adventurous couple!
Filipinos idolize kobe. Theres a park even made in his honor in PI.
That was more than likely not butter. I believe that was margarine. Filipinos often mistake margarine for butter. If that was butter, it would've melted right away in the open air heat here in the Philippines. Butter is also too expensive for a mobile cheese corn food stall and that cup of corn would've costed twice the price. Also, that guy @8:15 said "melon and magic sugar". He probably said it in jest as magic sugar is dangerous, illegal, and is banned in the Philippines(he and his mate laughed while saying it so he probably said it as a joke so you're probably good lol).
The name of the toys is lato-lato its papular in the Philippines especially to the kids
Sometimes when you see a gambling to a funeral the family allowed it because of the profit that the players gave to them when they won the game. Because sometimes they can't afford the funeral service and they used to get money from everyones potluck and when the payment is enough that's it they buried the body with the casket and thats show the Filipino hospitality culture and caring for someone. even though they are not family relatives
Melon and magic sugar ahahahahhaha buset 😁
hey im growing on ur vids, im from TO n heading home on 14th but the juice is GU LA mon
I was gonna ask if that his daughter LMAO
I lived in tondo for 4 and 1/2 months. I felt safer there than most places I've been in the US. In my experience, the people were wonderful and friendly. Maybe because I was a foreigner but who knows.

All of Asia is safer than US, and I’m from US. You can go to the worst parts but it’s Asians bro. They are so friendly even if they got some bad ones it’s less than anywhere in US.

Prolly the main reason. Ive known someone who died just because he refuse to take a drink with one of the locals in the area esp near north harbor, and got stabbed with a knife. Although there are certain areas that are safe, there are also some areas that is worst than bad. Locals are friendlier than foreigners than the co-locals esp if you are not originally from tondo (Harbor side)
22:57 they called it lato-lato. if you are going back to your country can you make a video about lato-lato.. lato-lato challenge.
One thing about Filipinos is they do not mind being video compare to the US some people do mind and some will tell you you need their permission to be video not knowing there is no expectation of privacy in public places. Not sure if Canada has the same laws and attitudes of the people.
