All of Manila is the real Manila. The pretty and the shabby, the modern and the old, the organized and the chaotic, the fancy and the poorer areas, etc.

@@EoinandAisling I was referring to how you titled your video. It’s just that I see that often in videos from other vloggers as well and I think it does a huge disservice to the city and the country as a whole. Because it implies that if an area is modern, opulent, clean, organized, it’s not really “real” Manila or “real” Philippines.

There is Manila the capital or the old downtown Manila. There are mega districts of Metro Manila which are normally considered the business districts of Metro Manila like Pasig, Makati, Taguig, and Quezon City. The most fancy townships are Alabang in Muntinlupa, the Ayala in Makati, and BGC in Taguig.

I was there. The Manila Chinatown emohasizes Fukien. I was in Singapore 🇸🇬 last year, 2023. That nation emphasizes Mandarin culture. I am a San Francisco native 🌁. I go through Chinatown 🇨🇳 many times. I visit Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦 often. The largest Chinatown in Canada is there. These Chinatown communities tend to be more Cantonese Jollibee has resembles some aspects of McDonald's. Music. Morissette Amon is the most popular singer there. Arnel Pineda is the leaf singer of Journey. He is popular there.

You ended up in the Divisoria area. Though technically some parts are in Chinatown, it is more towards the outskirts already. The Binondo (Chinatown you are looking for) area is where the good Chinese restaurants and merchandise are. You can take a tricycle and ask them to take you to Binondo Church which will be towards the center of Chinatown.

They are right, that old chaotic place is the old Manila, trust im old enough to know, Makati was developed in the late 60's together with Quezon City, BGC the 90's that place was the center of commerce in the Philippines since the Spanish time😊

Regarding the reason why business with the same products tend to cluster together in the Philippines, an old time businesswoman once shared with me that when same product businesses group together, it is easier for people who intend to buy their product to go there, and there is enough business for everyone.

Going to the chaotic MAIN TRADE SOURCE of all commercial goods of the entire Metro Manila and way beyond and calling it the "real Manila" is ignorance AF. These foreigners don't realize that "gritty" Divisoria is unnoticeably overflowing with cash. It's like going to a huge smelly fish trade port in Japan and calling it the real Japan.

Manila is one of the largest city in the world composed of 16 cities the oldest is Intramuros and the original city of Manila Manila have different characters From Ultra Modern city like BGC to down to earth lay back atmospher like the old sector of Manila the place you explore is the old sector that exude an old world ambience I think part of it is Tondo because church of Tondo is seen at the back ground China Town is a few walk away from Tondo the goverment is trying to decongest the city of Manila they are building new Island city in Manila bay called Smart city this will add anorher city in Manila

There are only a few places "green zones" (BGC and so on) in metro Manila. Rest is very!! old, burnt out and really sketchy! Just been there 8 days. And KZfaqrs/vlgs don't ever tell the hole trut! some how they always make it sound so pretty! We only meet friendly people, but even they told us to be careful unless you are in these zones.

Only 2% of metro Manila is nice. I am referring to BGC and makati CBD. The rest, 98%, are old , dilapidated, ugly, and chaotic. The worst is metro Manila is totally infested with poor people who live on the streets, esteros, under the bridges, and pretty much everywhere. You don't see this type of situation in other Asian countries. Very sad.

Clearly you haven't been to all of Metropolitan Manila. So Ortigas, Mandaluyong, Marikina, San Juan etc are old and dilapidated...?

@shadowofyourwings4120 3 ай бұрын

98%? You're clearly over-exaggerating. FYI, there are other developed areas here like Alabang, Ortigas, some parts of Quezon City, Pasay, etc. It's just that a lot of the poor people here who are originally from other parts of PH have chosen to squat in Metro Manila.
