14:51 - that moment when the kid in white shirt pulled her hand to bow down and with a gesture of touching his forehead, is actually a Filipino way of showing respect to elders and at the same time the kid asks for blessings. That gesture of showing respect is called "Mano", younger members of the family often exhibit this gesture of respect to elders, not necessarily to old relatives, but to anyone who is older than them.

I love that the young man was trying to get your blessing by taking your hand and placing it on his forehead (It is a sign of respect in our culture. The younger person would say "Mano po" and the older person gives his/her hand.) I couldn't help but giggle a bit when you got surprised and probably thought he would actually kiss your hand. 😁💗 You have well-mannered nephews and nieces! Such a beautiful journey. Rain is indeed a sign of God's blessing! If it had not rained, you would not have taken shelter at the housing office and from there you found more and more people to help you find your relatives. Awesome! 👍

Just a trivia, Tondo is one of the oldest town in the Philippines. Dating back with Lakan dula. King of Tondo and more rajas who lived there before Spanish came. Then in the 1900s where Tondo was a center of Trade where this was a place of millionaires where a lot of businessmen resided there and was like a Forbes park of today's in the society. Circa 60s to late 70s where TOndo became notorius from gangsters. These people came from different provinces who mixed with the Tondenas. If you remember the La Tondena factory now defunct was a maker of lapad or markang demonyo gin was located in Tondo. Fyi.

And it all began with you guys having a subscriber giving you a ride and assisting you. That hard rain was the defining serendipitous moment as you just so happened to find shelter at the local housing authority that had info about the residents in the area! What synchronicity and serendipity! BTW, I felt a twinge of emotion when Bianca first excitedly saw the house. Stay safe and rock on! Cheers!

Tondo has a rich history because back in pre colonial times Tondo is actually a kingdom ruled by a Rajah. However after World War 2 when Manila was decimated, people flock to Tondo from all places in the Philippines. While it is not dangerous, I have to say that it is overly populated. In social constructs psychology, the more people you have , the less resources for people to have access to. I believe it's science that needs no convincing.

Hmm… it depends which part of Tondo. In our part, kids can do that just fine but there are dangers lurking around … or at least back then. But in the opposite side of Tondo (relative to our section), there are no kids outside but it's safer in that part. The dangers are also not what most people assume (like pickpockets; or beggars who will stab you if you don't give anything; or some gang; or frat [I'm not saying those doesn't exist]), it's age-old family/clan rivalries as well as intense business competitions … the ones people usually dismiss as "it only happens in movies". Not sure if it still is the same to this day, hopefully it is better. ;)

Yan ang hirap sa mga sa mga Pinoy hanggang ngayon dala pa rin ang crab mentality kaya hindi makaalpas sa kahirapann ang Pinas. Kapwa Pilipino mo pilit mong hinihila pababa. Imbis na yong maganda hang asal na ipinakita ng mga Pinoy ang makita pero hindi iyon pa rin kasiraan ang nakikita. Paano nga naman majakaahon sa hiirap ang mga Pinoy kung ang kapwa Pinoy mo ang sumisira sayo?!?! Tsk! Ahh ewan… tawagan niyo na lang si DARNA para ipagtanggol ang mga inaapi!!!!

This is an awesome video. The best so far. Nothing like finding lost family members and connect with them again

Tondo has been stigmatized because of news and media. Glad you managed to trace your roots, Bianca. That's a Filipino tradition. Knowing where you came from would make you successful in your future endeavors in life. Understanding yourself makes you a better person. Good luck guys! God bless!

The downpour rain is a sign of blessing as I often heards before with the old folks. And there you are, despite of this heavy rain, it didn't made you to think twice to pursue searching for your father's home. Finally, your sacrifices had paid off.

Is Bianca's mom still in contact with her family in Tondo? So happy you guys finally met family! ❤️

She isn't tech savvy at all we taught her how to accept Skype calls from us when we left. She doesn't text, email or Facebook so there hasn't been a way to stay in touch except hearing about things through other family living in Canada.

Damn lots to unpack here, not to mention the heavy rain. Hey Joe is a remnant of WW2 American occupation where locals called the erstwhile colonizers/liberators as Joe thus "Hey, Joe". More importantly, happy for Bianca that she was able to locate her family tree in Tondo of all places 🌲

As far as I know, there is no danger in Tondo. Tondo's reputation has been tarnished by the portrayal of the city in Philippine films. Tondo is known as a dangerous area because of this. To be fair, it's a fantastic location.

This was the hardest part of her life to look back at her roots. No matter their lives is was then or now. Filipino blood runs in Biancas vein bcoz of her mixed nationality. Were grateful to see her resilience to find her mother roots. Godbless Bianca your such a good girl.
