WE HAVE A NEW CHANNEL! www.youtube.com/@thatssointeresting

I was a construction worker in that area 17 years ago.. and I am stunned while seeing this video.. a big big transformation.

This is crazy, As an American, I'm not sure I've heard someone bring up the city of Manila, much less BGC. It's like no one in the west knows about this place yet, but it looks like downtown Miami. Feel like I've just stumbled onto a hidden gem in the world

I used to work at HSBC in BGC. No bias but BGC is really a very modern city. I am vacationing in UK now and I would say BGC is decades ahead. Everyone should really visit. I just hope other cities could emulate.

Michael has been to many large cities all over the world, never befire seen the picture perfect, no graffiti, not even the tiniest litter on the ground, no blind spots to security anywhere and on such a massive scale in size. This is more like a huge movie set or Disneyland for comparison!

Security guards in the Philippines will not tackle you if you break the rules, they will just talk to you politely. Even police men will not do that especially if you are a foreigner. You will not feel threatened by authorities here. Definitely, no police brutality. I lived in the US for 33 years, every time I get pulled over on the road, I always feel discomfort and nervous just by the way they ask you questions, very intimidating.

Thanks for showing to the world one of the best spots of my country. I am in the US now , and I always brag about my own Philippines. Nothing beats home! Thank you guys. Enjoy your stay there, and keep safe.

Watching this from Whistler, Canada!! I’m soo excited to visit with my husband. He’s never been to the Philippines and he’s really excited to go shopping from the stories he’s heard. Only waiting for our baby girl’s passport and we will definitely visit!❤️🙏🏽

I am from Toronto Canada, everytime I go for vacation, I make sure I go to BGC. It never stop to amaze me: my favorite place is Venice Canal Mall, High Street and the one you featured UPTOWN Mall, the place looks like mini-Las Vegas with the lights, you guys did not feature the fountain show there, its so stunning. Thanks for sharing.

what i like about BGC is that, even though it's one of those 'new town' style developments that came up pretty quickly, it feels very lived in. the kind of place people actually live in and use, and not like a ghost town like in other countries.

This is one of the best videos of BGC made during the night!!!

How can one not love this place. Even dogs & cats forget their animosities and enjoy their stay in this place too. I'll be there in February.

Very true Michael, the face of the Philippines, especially Metro Manila is about to change BIG time.....there are soooo many projects and infrastructure being built.......just to name a few......Horizon Manila, Manila Solar City, Metro Manila Subway, New Manila International Airport, Arcovia City, Bridgetowne, and Arca South. It's been a hobby of mine to see these developments over time and hope in my lifetime to experience them in person!

Was there at High Street a couple of nights ago and dined at Itallanis. Little pricey but they give you huge servings. Landers is like Costco. They also have S&R big box membership warehouse. Stayed at Seda hotel just across the High Street. Also the street nanesc are similar in Manhattan- Avenues (5th Ave) and Street ( 30th street). The whole area used to be a US Military Base named Fort McKinley before WW2 and until the Philippine Independence from the US in 1946. It then became a Philippine Military Army Base (Fort Bonifacio, named after a Filipino Revolutionary hero who fought against Spain). They still have the McKinley Hill area with Condos, restaurants and cafes.

FYI, places like this are private enclaves and not run directly by the government including the roads/traffic management.

Wow! Almost 50k followers already. Great job you guys. Cant wait seeing you get to 100k subscribers maybe next month. Yow fellow filipinos, lets give more love to my favorite vloggers in yt.. Wohoo 🤗🤗🤗♥️♥️♥️

Great to know that you like it there. My hubby loves the Philippine Island life. Thanks for sharing your video. Greetings from Las Vegas USA.

My Filipina works for Wells Fargo as a corporate banker and walks from our condo to the office. We are planning a move to Subic bay soon though, enjoy BGC.

Thanks a lot for appreciating our country Philippines. Definitely BGC is one of the most luxurious city in the Philippines. If you haven't been to Coron Palawan, please try. I assure you, you're just like into a place paradise.

This is an inspiring vlog for us Filipinos, I hope progress will spread throughout our country. If this kind of development happens at BGC it may happen also in another part of the Philippines. Thank you Michael for helping us promote our country we need people like you. Having good observations from foreigners is more credible. We hope some day more tourists come to our country because of good publicity like your vlog. God bless you.

Unbelievable! I knew you two wouldn't let us down, agreed best BGC vid yet! As always hugs from Atlanta ✌🌴🩴🇵🇭

Definitely love this vlog. Michael and Bianca you delivered. You are right. Just came from France and Italy and BGC is way, way better to retire cuz its disable friendly. Safety and security. Check. Cleanliness. Check. Foods. Check. Space to eat. Check. Grocery store and shopping mall. Check. And so many more. So glad the streets are not made of cobble stones which is harder to walk especially with arthritic knee. Lol. Will go visit next near. For sure BGC and Cebu on the radar. We'll keep watching. Keep up the good work. God bless!

WOOOOOWW...VERY BEAUTIFUL PLACE..

I’ve been living in BGC for quite some time now and agree with so much that you’ve said. Something I also really like about it is that it has a good blend of buildings and nature. There are a bunch of buildings but you can always see the blue sky during the summers:)

Love BGC. Been living in BGC since 2008. BGC is designed as a walking city with roads and path also designed for wheelchair access. If you like Singapore as a comparison, BGC is better...

Pretty cool vlog and we thanked you for featuring BGC and the very positive insights you have for it. Good to see foreigners enjoying the best in our country. Hope to see you doing more vlogs here in the Philippines that will definitely inspire and convince other tourist to visit us soon. We have lots of beautiful beaches here too that you may want to explore on your next vlog. Stay safe and enjoy!

We always enjoy short visits to BGC and Makati during our travels... then it's back to the more laid-back reality in the Province of Samar.

I visit there 4 months ago. And it’s really looks so beautiful

wow guys your so great I know we couldnot avoid bashers or other insecure people who felt envy why vlogger features the Philippines due to people and culture and the support of Filipinos.I know even they are not rich they are happy and have time to enjoy and thats what they are stand out.With love and support from Toronto canada

Thank you for showing these to the world!

Wow. i loved how the way you guys showcased BGC on your vlog!! Perfect!! Beautiful place to visit! Enjoy your stay guys and stay safe always! ❤️😘

Thank you Mike and Bianca for walking me through the BGC. Regards, from the USA

my sister works in BGC so I go there maybe once a week. It's really a fun place to just walk and explore and I don't get tired of it. There are also good jogging places there, parks, and open areas where people usually play soccer or frisbee. Thanks for the nice vid!

Hello! Thank you so much for this your. I love watching all these vlogs on this channel. You both are doing an amazing job educating us. Thank you so much. I appreciate everything you both do. Have a great weekend. You you in the next vlog.

Thank You So Much for Admiring and Promoting The Best of Our Country to Offer

Thank you.. for assisting us to decide our next destination this Christmas!

This is my most favorite vlog from you guys. Thanks for showcasing the most luxurious city in the Philippines.

amazing beautiful scenes you captured.

Wow that's definitely great and interesting vidz my friend. Keep it up and more vidz to come. Wish you both a very happy life always.

I enjoyed your BGC hilights. Very well done. Looking forward for more adventures. You look tireless. Enjoy 😉 and keep safe.

Great vlog. I don't usually watch vlogs that are over 10 mins but you caught my interest all throughout. You must be an artist to focus on details that most vloggers fail to do.

Nice video, thanks for sharing & Godspeed!

Great video, thanks for posting!

I cannot wait to just stroll around BGC ..it’s a gorgeous city, and malls

Bonifacio Global City was the place where my cousins used to live with their parents, that is until very recently they moved to Singapore and Japan separately to study abroad. Both graduated from college, and I've visited their house in BGC countless times. It's fun, it's like being in America all over again considering how advanced it is over there! Truly, BGC is ahead of its time, but it was much better than most American cities I've been in from 2015/16 and 2018. I wanna return to BGC again, and perhaps after graduating college at the Philippine Military Academy I'll get myself a house or condo here at BGC. Additionally, seven months later I drove to BGC since I am now a non-pro driver :DD

Awesome video, Thanks for sharing!!!

Wow, that place is nice! Thanks for sharing. 🙌

Totally agree. BGC is one of my favorite place in Philippines.

It's look so beautiful there lights make it alive stay safe

Wow! You had a beautiful shots of the BGC!👍🇧🇭🇵🇭

Thanks for sharing your vlog I am from Philippines and leaving here in San Francisco USA for 22 years really different can’t compare city here to there it’s really clean and amazing i can’t wait to go back enjoying the atmosphere thanks guys it’s wonderful!

Welcome to the Philippines.... Feel at home and enjoy the Christmas holiday. In case you wanna know.... BGC was an American base before and they improved it.

Heyyy didn't know you guys are from T.O. I grew up in a small town outside T.O. and moved to T.O. for grade 11. Graduated and have live in Vancouver since. BGC is an aspirational enclave of a city for any country.

Hello from a Toronto Ontario, hello fellow Canucks! Really enjoyed your coverage of BGC which is pretty close to my home City I was born. We’re visiting come Jan 2023 after many years living in TO suburbs. Be safe and more blogs pls.

Nice tnx for showing us around thats place look nice .

Thank you guys for showing one of the beautiful spots of my country, BGC (Bonifacio Global City formerly the site of Bonifacio Military Base and Bonifacio was one of our national heroes). You are one of the rare vloggers who show the good side of my country. Enjoy your stay..

Thank you for this video. Glad to see BGC now.. Beautiful! We used to cruise and drive around there. Stay safe!

thankz for coming sir injoy the holidays

Excellent video. Very interesting to see that many foreigners want to first get out of something and then land into exactly to the same something - even if it is slightly less expensive. So, to me: Never ever, but very interesting to see.

True, BGC of the Philippines is one of the modern & world class city on the planet. beautiful, modern, peaceful & clean, wow! Honestly when im in BGC i was walking around there & relax from day till night, its like i don't want to go home and stay there till morning ohhh, because of relaxing vibes and resfresing vibes and beautiful scenery of this modern city, so nice.

Incredible to see how much American stuff they have. My worry about retiring in the Philippines has been that it wouldn’t have so much familiar stuff, but I can see this is not the case.

Giving you a like and subscribing for wearing heels while touring around the huge streets of BGC. 👏🤗

Thanks for sharing this video, haven't been back in the Philippines. I would be so lost there now, it's beautiful. Hopefully to be able to go visit someday. More power to you and your channel.

I'm very happy someone from other side of the world acknowledge the Philippines progress. While some of the local journalist often topic content is the poor side and disgusting area of the country.Super thanks guys for promoting tourism in our beloved country Philippines. 🙏🙏🙏 You got My S..

Wow, wish I'd visited the Philippines after 1995 so I could see it. Looks really nice.
