The level of engagement of Mergim channel is amazing. Mergim catches the heart of Filipino subscribers. The other foreign vloggers insist that their channel is watched by other foreigner from around the world (by giving travel tips). The truth is the number of viewing English speaking westerners are paltry compared to Filipinos. It's was too late when those foreigner realized Thier mistake of underestimating the internet savvy Filipinos. Mergim, had a good start and gaining loyal subscribers from Filipinos coming from all over the world. Keep up the good work.

Congratulations on your 40k subs. I keep on visiting your channel to check your number of subscribers because you chose Philippines. I'm happy that you're making it. Keep vlogging and kudos to your nice and informative videos. 😊

I always look forward to your videos ever since you have only 7k subs way back in Thailand and decided to come visit Philippines. Your way of interacting to Filipinos captivated us more and more. More blessings to come and enjoy the most out of it with your Gf. You guys are amazing.

I admire these Filipino trike drivers. They support themselves and their families driving these trike day or night, rain or shine and making minimal salary. But, you never hear them complain. To me, they're what makes Philippine run along with the jeepney drivers. Support them, and you're helping feed their families.

40k subs! Way to go Mergim! Now road to 50k!

Being a filipino living in Singapore, your videos help me a lot in coping with my home-sickness. Love how genuine your conversation are with the locals and doing things that not most foreign vloggers are doing like exploring Tondo and playing street ball (basketball courts literally in the street). One of my fav youtube channel, The Juicy Vlog, said that they really like your recent videos too. Really fun to see more and more people experiencing and sharing the beauty of the Philippines and its people. More power brother!

I can see some Anthony Bourdain style vlogging here, not kidding, because you actually feature the nitty gritty details most tourists won’t normally do in the Philippines

Hey Mergim. I hope you reconsider going to Baguio. As a person who frequents Baguio every month I can totally say that it is SAFE here all year round, landslides are rare as we have an all-weather highway plus it is relatively good weather here today until August when the rain starts. There are daily buses going here and I recommend Joybus, a first class bus with loads of legroom. Hotel The Manor, Le Monet or 456 Hotel. Tip: Book a hotel first. They will assist u in getting a tourist pass you need to board the bus. It is relatively easy and simple. Top spots to go to is Camp John Hay's Yellow Trail, Burnham Park, Botanical Garden.

Definitely a good decision for you going here in the PH!❤🇵🇭 your views on your PH vlogs went skyrocket because of your incredible research and entertaining approach and it makes me happy as a new subs and others as well thats why the support that you have is overwhelming! stay safe and hope to see you one of these days 😊

A sight to behold seeing the sky change its colors. Once you reach 100k, expect marketing companies to approach you and arrange a car deal for free. USe the car to go to the northern part of the Philippines, then Cebu, Bohol, Siargao, etc. Way to go!

Sir... If you hire a vehicle with 3 or more wheels (tricycle, car, suv orbus. esp. directly from a driver). put a visual sign of 'Private' or 'Family use'... Because those vehicles have route franchise and you can violate a traffic law of: 'Out of route', the penalty are losing the vehicle's route franchise with monetary charge plus suspension of your driver's license... Better to find a legit vehicle for hire companies... But, it seems you are good in evading our traffic enforcers and enjoying the ride! Hahaha!
