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.

As you expect about Tondo, Its not dangerou, but in the evening is dangerous when you met drunkard people.
Lots of children Davud they all like curious want to know what you're doing we're you from enjoy your time. ❤
Eat enjoy dragon eye 😀 Davud
I came from a poor family and I knw rich people afraid to go the village or town but they don't know how kind people are until they stayed or visit, poor people always respect rich people but rich people judge by the looks.
Enjoy your day ❤❤❤❤
Very beautiful
Except pork, I like how everything is so clean in Philippines. Filipino Kids are do beautiful,
Seems like Tondo is a good place to go for lunch!

🙏🫶🙏 Sending prayers to your country, Azerbaijan. I've been watching the news.
God bless !
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. 😊
I was in tondo few months ago made some videos there the place was awesome!! Have a good time bro
Davud, good morning
Dawood, you are a magnet for children. They unmistakably know the good man. I enjoy your videos.

I'm beginning to understand how Davud got to 1/2 mil subs...he's subbing everyone he meets
Do u consider, going to Baguio? The summer capital of the Philippines? because it is the coldest place in the Philippines
Philippines people are social media friendly people😊Davud you should visit Myanmar .
Love from nepal 🇳🇵🎉🎉
Sir davud trying to skip with the many chidren😂😂😂..
You said it’s the most dangerous place in Manila, that’s what Tondo been called.. that’s before in the 60s 70s because of the gang war.. but now they’re gone and it’s very peaceful, people there are friendly..
So many kids
Love from India

very scary G..
Though it is a slum area, it looks well organised and the people are nice. It is the small kids who are a bit inquisitive and troublesome sometimes.
Boz Filipino s are one of the hygienic people that's why Clean.
Better to visit Taal Volcano in Batangas just 3 hours land travel from Manila. You will see there “The island in a lake on an island in a lake on an island”.
👍👍👍

Hello davud visit siargao
The fact that you can see kids and women walking around in the street tells you that the place is safe. The place looks cramped but not dangerous at all.
