Exactly BGC is modern than KL and Bangkok.

not even close to NYC and Chicago. These cities have many old buildings, gloomy and crowded. and yes BGC is some kinda similar to Miami and Austin, Texas.

@@texasmike1977 alright 😊👍

When I went to BGC back in 2016, I was blown away at how similar some buildings looked like downtown Chicago.

Thanks for visiting Philippines

❤

Binondo is not entirely part of Chinatown, fyi...

They are trying to redevelop Escolta, Binondo back into the posh area it was back in the 1960s. Unfortunately Escolta was abandoned in favor of Makati in the 1990s and the place slowly turned into a state of disrepair that it is today. The local government has a 15 year tax free incentive for someone who can fund the redevelopment. The plan was to turn Escolta into the Clark Quay (premium shopping and food area in Singapore) of the Philippines.

Thank you for correctly identifying BGC as METRO Manila (maybe put "Taguig" as well since BGC is not a real city by law). We need to promote correct geography with the increasing popularity of PHL. We do not want our welcome visitors to end up in Quiapo instead of BGC because they mistakenly told the airport taxi to head for "Manila".

There are lots of development like BGC. BGC is like template of all township development around the country.

Legazpi is my favorite. the volcano is majestic

Cagayan de oro has a little BGC uptown city here

@@howarddacudao9599 i haven't been updated to Cagayan De Oro but saw some footages there are also many developments happening there. It would be nice if every region will have many bgc or developed cities so there will be many opportunities so people from other provinces have no need to go to the overly congested Metro Manila.

@@axizcorp exactly Cagayan de oro now one of the most and top progressive cities here in Phils.

Unlike other Asian governments our old leaders did not brainwash us to hate on the Japanese in the media. I think the Christian belief of forgiveness also encompass the Filipino psyche.

My husband still has not forgiven the Japanese for bombing Pearl Harbor.

Yeah, also the reason why we keep on electing crooked politicians....

The Ayalas have been there since the beginning, from their BPI to their real estate developments. Made a huge impact to the Filipinos.

Yes po, plus Ayala is developing other areas outside side Metro Manila - such as Nuvali, Cebu IT Park, Iloilo Ayala Atria, etc. 😊

And they are actually great in taking care of their employees.

Their doing what government can't do 😅

@@theworthy9411 Only time the Government can be felt was during the Duterte Administration. The President would get involved almost daily.

I agree, specially at night, very relaxing if you walk around

Binondo food is unbeatable. :D

I know! And he barely breaks a sweat. He should rent 1 of those scooters to get around BGC but I think he enjoys walking more though.😊

Very true even I couldn't do that when I was still back home!

Yeah love Singapore ✌️👌

Singapore fine city, so fine so clean if you throw any trash in street u need to pay Fine or jail

Talking about Expensive My Daughter Living in A I Bedroom Condo in Downtown LOS ANGELES For $2700 Hundreds a Month Good Thing She has a Good job … America Nowadays Housing is Highly Ridiculous it’s Overpriced Everything here is too High … No Wonder so many Homeless 😢

Thank you!!

BGC doesn't have the crime, gangs and school shootings like many American cities

Dang wished it looked like Tokyo or Bucharest instead.

That is not part of Makati

@@boni9563 not anymore. that's why I say it was.

FORT BONIFACIO IS NEXT TO FORBES PARK MAKATI , USE TO LIVE HER TOO, MY 14 YEARS OF MY LIFE, UNTIL WE MOVED TO SWITZERLAND ITS TOO DAMN COLD THERE, NOW THE USA 🇺🇸 ✌️👍🙌

Used to be called Fort McKinley after President McKinley

It's part of Taguig now.

The Jeepney stations there look like a scene from a film about the HOLOCAUST. People lining up to ride a jeepney while the sun is baking the tired office workers who will spend several hours on the road to get to some boarding house in some other city.

@@eduardochavacano thats how resilient Filipino is.

​@@eduardochavacano Blame it on the past Dilawan administrations which made filipino lives shit! Happily the people's live are getting better now.

The bus and jeepney stations are in Market Market area. It has covered areas and food stalls nearby for hungry/thirsty passengers.

Agree with this,out of way from main roads,no train system,no underpass no elevated walkways,bus route is out of way.

THE AMERICAN NOT INVADED THE PHILIPPINES, WHEN THE SPANIARD DONE THEIR RULING THEY SOLD THE PHILIPPINES FOR 1 MILLIONS DOLLARS THATS HOW THE AMERICANS CAME TO THE Philippines AND Philippines Became US TERRITORY, ALONG WITH GUAM, AND PUERTO RICO, THEN THE AMERICAN GIVE THE Philippines BACK TO ITS PEOPLES IN JULY 1946 , THATS WHY WE CELEBRATE OUR INDEPENDENCE DAY …. ✌️✌️✌️🙌

True. In short, the Philippines was dragged into war with the Japanese because the Americans were here.

@@tessmacgyver1023 I second this. The Philippines was the worst hit city during WWII because it was a US colony back then.

@@tessmacgyver1023 not entirely true… Japan was in a war of conquest in China since 1937, but it realized they lacked the resources to conduct a longer protected war if they wanted to succeed. particularly, they needed oil. which can only be found in what was at the time the Dutch East Indies or Indonesia and Malaysia. so they decided to grab that as well considering that the Dutch were already in a war with Hitler. and knowing that the Dutch allies, Great Britain and the US will never let that happen, Japan decided to strike first and destroy british and america forces in the area, namely Malaya, Hong Kong and the Philippines. so yes, the philippines was technically dragged into the war but, even if the US forces were not there, and since the philippines was in the way of Indonesia, the same way Korea was in the way if china… Japan would have coerced whoever controlled the philippines into cooperation, by force or otherwise. it wouldn’t have mattered if the US or Spain or an independent government controlled the philippines… japanese presence would have been inevitable.

The Spaniards does not want us to learn Spanish. This was hinted in the book Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo. Fortunately my grandparents who are from Astoria Spain, but settled in Masbate spoke to us in Spanish.

That’s why most of these foreigners say, “I can’t believe they have this in Philippines” because they are surprised and can’t believe it’s really true knowing first hand a 3rd world country Philippines is. Now it’s a developing country

Not a Third Worlds Anymore, A Developing Country…. ✌️

If you want to go to BGC though, pls note that it is NOT in Manila. It is in Taguig. Manila and Taguig are different cities but both are in METRO Manila which the old but still popular name of the NCR.
