Is This REALLY The Philippines?! (Modern Makati) 🇵🇭
I went to visit the ultra modern area of Makati in Manila. This really was insanely modern, with awesome cafes, malls, big skyscrapers and some of the best malls I've seen. This is the Dubai on the Philippines!!

I definitely agree which is why his videos are so pleasant and refreshing to watch. I also follow his friend Harry's vlogs but he's quite the sarcastic with a strong personality type of person. Not that there's something wrong with that but Ali will definitely be more relatable to Filipinos based on how he interacts with people.

I used to work as a language specialist and corporate trainer in Makati before. Used to walk and jog around Salcedo Village after work. Not much have changed, but the greenery. The parks and the landscaping are tremendous. Thanks for touring me around. I live in Bahrain 🇧🇭 now (21 years). Always stay healthy and safe, Ali. 💪🏻❤️

You're the first expat vblogger that feature Makati in almost 30 minute video. Manila is underrated as it is not usually featured on vblogs, that's why many foreign visitors go straight away to the Islands lol. But glad that you give justice to Manila and please feature more especially the business districts. We wanted more expats who visited the country the Philippines is not only more on tourist and natural attractions, we have also good business districts with greens, trees, parks in the middle of the city, a lot of good restaurants and malls, they just needed to be featured. Visit Eastwood City, Newport City, Ayala Alabang, etc.
I hope you try to work with Harry as much as possible in the future. Frankly speaking, your tacit understanding is like Laurel and Hardy; And I heard Harry say that he had the most fun shooting with you, and that would be reflected in the video; The whole city of Makati is very beautiful, and those paintings make the underground tunnels look like art museums or cathedrals; That banana cake looks delicious, great to watch you and Danny having a great day in Makati, thanks for sharing!👍😄👏 希望你以後盡量與哈利一起合作,坦白說,你們的默契就像是勞來與哈台; 而且我聽哈利說過,他跟你在一起拍攝時得到最多樂趣,那會反應在影片; 馬卡蒂整個城市很漂亮,那些繪畫讓地下道猶如美術館,也很像是大教堂; 那個香蕉蛋糕看起來很美味,很開心看你及丹尼在馬卡蒂度過愉快的一天!

In addition to architecture and world-standard urban planning, perhaps one of the reasons why a number of tourists associate Greater Manila's major urban enclaves, like Makati and BGC, with other world cities like New York is the English signage. In fact, just about everything is written in English. Something greatly overlooked. This makes navigating around the country so much easier and familiar particularly if you consider the notion that almost everyone speaks, or at least understands, English. Interestingly, notice how you immediately felt disconnected and "lost" when you entered the Korean store where almost everything was labeled in Korean, Chinese or Japanese characters. A natural response, of course. But I believe the one thing that makes these Philippine cities stand out from their international counterparts is just how ingeniously Filipinos incorporate greenery and vegetation in their design, whether corporate or urban. As such, you hardly notice them but nonetheless, feel their effects in the way you perceive and respond to the world. Is it any wonder why Filipinos are some of the happiest and friendliest people on the planet. As always, great video! New sub here.
in 24:11 you passed by Makati Avenue and Ayala Avenue, an interesting fact is that the area used to be an airport, so if you check the area at the corner of Ayala Triangle Gardens, there is an air traffic control tower, and it also explains why the two roads are straight for a few kilometers. It was then known as the Nielson Field Airport, which served as a runway for the Far East Air Force that was the base of both the United States Air Force and the Philippine Air Force in the 1940s, it was also the country's first commercial airport. What occupies the control tower now is a restaurant called Blackbird by the Nielson Tower, which serves gourmet food.
3:05 Man, that park is beautiful & is soo peaceful.
I had been to other neighboring Southeast Asian countries. Although some of them have better transportation infrastructures. but our BGC, Makati, Eastwood, Ayala Alabang , MOA, areas in Pasay and other Central Business Districts in the 13 cities in Metro Manila so far is more modern than theirs.

Definitely the cosmopolitan city of Manila hands down. My favorite place indeed. 😍
Hi Ali! Me and my family loved watching your vlogs! Enjoy touring around Philippines, take care always❤️❤️❤️
Dan has already acquired Filipino taste. he likes durian and Jolly spaghetti ☺️
I lived in Makati City for 21 years and I agree with your opinion. Please visit Circuit Mall also in Makati...It's in the boundary of Makati and Manila area.
Hey Ali my friend and Danny,wow the city looks like New York,the buildings, so modern, the park, i like it so mutsh,nice flowers, trees ectr, i never have expected that on the philopines wow tremendous, thanks Ali for showing a round, see you in the next video...
Thanks for sharing..I miss Manila so much. Looking forward to go home soon! 🇵🇭💕💕
list of business districts in the Metro Manila 1. Makati Central Business District - financial center of the Philippines 2. BGC, Taguig 3. Ortigas Center, Pasig 4. Filinvest City, Alabang Muntinlupa 5. Rockwell Center, Makati 6. Eastwood City, Quezon 7. Mall of Asia Complex 8. Entertainment City, Parañaque 9. ASEANA City 10. Capitol Commons 11. New Port City 12. McKinley Hill 13. Araneta Center 14. Ermita CBD, Manila 15. Circuit Makati
The Manila Pen is beautiful. The lobby is a great place for afternoon tea or ‘merienda’ (snack), also nice for dinner, very posh but cozy, really good food, and live piano music. And one of the best Halo-halo’s. A little expensive but worth it. You should check out Poblacion, in Makati, they have a nice night life.
Same sentiments with you, I also enjoy and appreciate Makati more than BGC because of the homey and refreshing greenery, plus the Filipino vibe mixed in the premium feel of the modern business district. Oh, and I really love that short encounter with those doggos. Can't resist their cuteness. 🥰
Dany is looking good it's lovely to see him again back in the Philippines. Welcome back Dany.
You need to go to Tagaytay as well, not far away from Metro Manila and see the Taal Volcano yourselves, highly recommended!
Ali congrats!! Ur a nice and true honest person, many pilipinos like ur vlogs. Stay humble 🙏❤️🙏🇵🇭👍
By far the best cleanest city in the world. Impressive.
Wow Makati is so modern and clean. That "mom &Tina's" Cafe is cute. As always you are having a sweet treat there King Ali 🤴 The city is even more beautiful in the night 😊 great content King Ali 🤴 👍😎
Metro Manila has massive and extensive metro trains, modern big buses, taxis and of course the symbol of Filipino culture the Dyepnis. Enjoy yourselves guys and have fun.
You guys should collab with MakingItHappenVlogs..... Mike and Nelly have been staying in Manila for a few years now and they are more than welcome to show you guys around!
Ali you’re so impressive.Maybe the Philippine tourism should hire you for promoting my beloved country to the world.You’re very good at it🤔😉
You could've just sneaked in the Peninsula, you are welcome as a vlogger to a actually film there. Its a very beautiful hotel and they are known for their British afternoon tea, scones and sandwiches. Why don't you guys do a Hotel crawl in Manila? The Manila hotel is an iconic hotel in PH visited by dignitaries all over the world and has so much history. The Peninsula hotel as I mentioned above. The Okada hotel near the mall of Asia are worth visiting while in Manila.
Makati City is so beautiful 😍
Good observation - Makati is a nice blend of the old and the new. Next time you're in Makati, try to visit the Salcedo Saturday Market and the Ayala Museum to learn about Philippine history.

The Philippines is a beautiful country. You’d appreciate the country more if you visit the islands. The food, the place and the people is what makes the Philippines beautiful. I’m a Filipino, I have been to Boracay many times, but every time I go there it always feel like the first time.

I used to work there and actually that whole area you just walked through is all too familiar. Lots of good times. I've always felt safe and at home there.
Despite the development so happy to see that these places are still green lots of trees ❤️❤️
Manila is evolving. Catching up missed opportunity and lost time. It will be good for its inhabitants. Subway is being built, monorail, airport outside the city among others coming up. With its vibrant and young population and openness to other cultures it will be a new city in the near future.

Thank you very much... you have appreciated the Financial District of the Philippines, "Makati City". Manila is a City within a Cities. MABUHAY and enjoy your stay in the Philippines Islands.
I live in Makati in Salcedo, Valero streeet and I'm always in the park to feed the cats! But what I love is the numerous food options for delivery and the convenience of having everything you need in close proximity to each other. Burgos Street is walking distance where I can watch Football games, PL, CL with really fun vibe. Comfort is great! Shopping is walking distance as well as goods variety of malls.
Ali, i love watching your videos. I always wanted to vlog but the thought of going out my comfort zone scares me. But thank you for making me realize that there is more to life and time should not be wasted in the corporate world. Thanks man.
Just love your videos been watching them all day all nights keep it going excellent vlog I subscribe and gave you a huge thumbs up
Guys, I recommend that you visit the south of the metro, visit Alabang Town Center, Festival Mall in Filinvest Muntinlupa City.. so much to see more than Makati, BGC and old Manila. Take a grab or rent a car and head down South of the metro. Enjoy and stay safe! More fun in the Philippines and you wont have problem creating conversations, english is the second language anywhere in the Philippines.

Like other vloggers, you can move to Makati and make the Philippines as your base to travel to other nearby countries as there are direct flights to several countries in Southeast Asia and East Asia from Manila. Fun Fact: Ayala Avenue used to be a runway before the Manila airport was built.
