TONDO MANILA is NOT a GIANT SLUM - Becoming Filipino Vlog
TONDO MANILA IS NOT A GIANT SLUM... it is a big local area full of more than two hundred barangays and a lot of community vibes.
Yes, this area of Manila has a tough reputation and certainly is somewhere that can be intense. But what I found out on this day after arriving at the port... is a wonderful community vibe. The barangays can be very cool to explore, and full of amazing people. Sometimes Tondo is mistaken by people for only crime and slums... but certainly that isn't how is should be represented. Don't get me wrong, there are slums around, I have been in some over the years. But this day walking around, and actually staying in Tondo certainly reminded me it is so much more than that.
An area in Manila known for its high crime in the past...
has a unique vibe to it now.
Becoming Filipino local life in Tondo Manila.
Power On!

Thanks to Yorme and now Honey Lacuna. If this was Erap, Manila would still be a huge dump.
Thank you kulas SA pagbooked SA The Captain's Nook Staycation,,balik kayo ni Kumar ingat kayo lagi 😊
wow i give you and kumar much respect for taking the opportunity and giving us followers a view of Tondo by living there. But the hustles and energy still hasn't changed much. It is the vibe of the area. i give it that.
Nice.. buti sa tondo malinis street nila keep up the good work people ❤❤
Welcome to my hometown! Thank you for uplifting the stigma that Tondo is a very bad place or a slum, for other vloggers who went here,they said its a slum, that maybe, but for us its HOME. Enjoy Kulas and Kumar! Keep safe and enjoy!
Happy Birthday Coolya Kumar!! Nice save on the rooster.
Nice to see both of u again on this vlog... riding in kanding.

Wow ang biko grabe ga laway ko. 😋
Well done for portraying Tondo in a different light. It gets a lot of bad press particularly from vloggers who like to show how brave they are entering Tondo. The reality is quite different.

Tondo is not a Slum as some vloggers are saying..... It is a Residential area for the Real People of Manila..... It has isolated housing for the poor and junk collectors... It is a place Where you can Experience the real life and Culture of the Filipinos... a Vibrant place for happy people...meron ding minsan Buraot..at nag sisigasigaan... Pinapatay ang mga Siga sa Tondo....pero mayroon p rin nagsusulputang mga bagong siga sa ibang lugar...😂😂😂
Good morning Kulas & Kumar you will supposed go there in Pasig Esplanade the new attraction near Post office & Jones Bridge.Stay safe❤❤❤👍👍👍
Kulas❤❤ Amping good day
Wow 😮
Mayng adlaw ninyo kulas og Kumar,amping...
I recall the malls in Manila., awesome
Hi Kyle and Kumar. Interesting choice of destination, which is the heart of Manila, Tondo. I lived there once, with close relatives. Just be extra cautious, kabayan. Try not to get too cimplacent, my friend. Take care, always, and good luck to your exciting ventures, and thank you for sharing the world...Your avid San Diego follower.💕
Kumar really a cool guy, Ayuz ikasama goodvibes
Keep safe mga lodi
Wow naman nakita ko ang school namin ang R. Almario Elementary School sa vlog na ito before kayo nakarating ng Deca Homes ❤ 😊

tondo very cool to see
The place where i was born and grew up, that is a lovely place to me, 💪💪👌❤️🇵🇭👍
Happy adventure in tondo
Watching from Japan .
That is really a big misconception about Tondo. TV and movies can be blamed esp. those FPJ and Erap films shot in Tondo. They showed only the poorer side. Tondo has high rise condo towers, schools, banks, bungalow houses, apartments, townhouses, malls. Based on census, the slum or squatters in Tondo is only 5% of the total population of Manila and they are mostly in BASECO area. Tondo is generally safe also. Two LRT stations serve Tondo.
Thanks Kulas as if I was physically in Manila with this video,,, power on👌
Ok kaayo naay body guard😂😂
Loved how Kumar handle the fighting chicken! 😂

Kumar should publish his book called, The New Filipino 2.0 Language By Kumar. 50/50 or 100, Anong ibig mong sabaw sa bihon? 😂🤣

Yeah the river looks way better than many years back.
I used to lived in Tondo, Tayuman it's not slum but there are a lot of thieves there😂, my husband who is foreigner get to used it. But there are nice people there also. My father's family owned old apartment. I love the Chinese community. Because of food.
Tondo is like an uncharted magical place for vloggers
HI Kulas, can you please share the link for that airBNB? thanks!
❤❤❤
I lived in Manila my whole life but I'm too scared to explore Tondo tbh. Take care Kulas and Kumar!
Kulas may i know whats the brand or model of the sling bag Kulas is using?
I lived in Tondo in the 80's when the crime was the highest in the Philippines. Thanks for showing the new Tondo. Now I want to visit. I was born there. Ingat Kulas and Kumar.

Kulas you are becoming a National Hero in The Philippines🏅
where ur motor kulas???? mao nani ron HAHAHAHA
And we can see some parts being covered with billboards
I was waiting and wondering what happened to your motorcycle? You didn’t show nor explain if you were able to get it. Kumar, ayuha jud gakus sa imong bag; basig dagan nag kalit hahaha 🤣
Kumar looks very protective of his bag, literally hugging it while walking along Divisoria, hahahahahahaha
You should have broke into a verse of YMCA when you had the vest and hard hat on. 😂
Kulas!!❤❤
Ive been to Oregon where there's an epidemic of drug addiction. Tondo is way safer. That said, we shouldnt romanticize poverty. Theres a fine line
We gonna miss the tandem of kk kulas and kumar its flash back to the biggining of your adventure vlog with kumar
Where did kumar get that shirt. I need one🍻🌞
Province life is still the best.
