MY FIRST TIME IN THE PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭 (Manila SHOCKED me)

Рет қаралды 20,319

It's my first time in The Philippines, so I couldn't let my trip come to an end without a few important Filipino experiences here in Manila. Trying Jollibee for the first time, going out to bars in Poblacion, visiting SM Mall of Asia, my reaction to halo-halo... it's all here in my final Manila travel vlog! The Philippines shocked me in a lot of ways, but the biggest one might be just how much I'm going to miss it! 😊

Thanks Claire for visiting and appreciate your time in the Philippines. There are some more interesting places in the south like Bohol where you can see the smallest primate (Tarsier) and Chocolate Hills. I’m from the north so I can recommend Baguio and Benguet where you can see the Rice Terraces and other views. Enjoy and stay safe.

Hahaha 😂 You got it right! We Filipinos love shopping malls for one good reason: the air condition. Malls are our refuge from the heat outside 😂

It's a shame that you didn't have more time to spend in the Philippines as there's just so many places to see and so much to do. I know how that long trip is going to the Philippines and going back to the east coast from the Philippines. The first time that I went to the Philippines was from Baltimore, Maryland. It took me about 24 hours of traveling to get to Manila from Baltimore. I'm always excited to go back to the Philippines.

You definitely have to come back. I moved to the US and am fully American now and am glad you got to experience this. Also, your music in the videos is awesome! I will check out your album.

FYI --- the Philippines has the longest Christmas celebration in the world. The moment the months end in B E R as in SeptemBer, OctoBer --- got it? The Christmas decorations are out + the songs as in 'White Christmas' --- no snow in the tropics but the Filipinos do dream of a white Christmas, Jingle Bells, It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year and all the classics --- it's a big holiday and the traditions are a mix of American and Spanish.

Almost Jollibee is world wide US ,Canada,Europe,Asia and before eating any local foods pretty much anywhere in the world try to research in the internet because maybe some if the ingredients you wouldn't like it and its not appropriate to say it in front of the camera because you might offend the people who are watching it specially if you are in a different country visiting.

Hello there, you're eating the halo-halo the wrong way. You should not be eating the condiments individually. You need to mix it up until it becomes liquidy..
