Tondo - This Is Not What I Expected, Ugbo Street Food, Manila, Philippines 🇵🇭

Tondo, a densely populated slum in Manila, is considered by Google to be the most dangerous place in the Philippines. However, my experiences as a foreigner were quite different. I encountered many smiles, happy kids, and hospitable locals who welcomed me with open arms. Although I arrived in Tondo with different expectations and was more cautious than in other places in Manila, I was pleasantly surprised.

    Tondo has a reputation for being dangerous town it is actually peaceful, nice and welcoming people, The internet & social media always gives you negative and toxic news, some people thinks foreigners have money, Filipinos have pride just be humble and respect the culture. Filipinos are God fearing People. We are hospitable, friendly, welcoming. Some foreigners disagree just have fun in the Philippines, every Country have its own problems even U.S.A. has a high rate of crime, violence daily and other European or Western Countries.

    Hi Davud! nice to see your vlog again. I want you to know that I like you because you are so kind and friendly. You are also appreciative with what we have here in the Philippines. You also interact with people in the streets. More power to you. I will always watch your vlogs. and one thing good about your vlog is it's raw. You don't use any background music and you just spontaneously showcasing the places where you are. Take care always! Hope you stay longer here in the Philippines. It's like we are traveling with you around the Philippines, around the world. Thank you for appreciating us, Filipinos and our beloved country. Cheers❣️🎉🫶🏼 #WeAreProudPinoy

    I enjoyed watching your video and blogs in Tondo and you saw yourself how safe the place and friendly the Filipinos are although Kids are annoying which is just normal especially in places where poverty is common and the environment where they are and by far compared to the places of the elite like Makati , BGC etc. but they love you and just curious with foreigners like you , but it’s funny how they behave since it’s not everyday they see a foreigner like you although they really are annoying and I can’t blame you . Thanks for sharing your videos and blogs and enjoy your stay in the Philippines and hope you could visit more other places of the Philippines. Watching you from Florida and also an avid subscriber. 😊
