Exploring QUIAPO's Famous Food And Market (Walking In Manila)

I grew up in Quiapo until my family emigrated to the U.S. in 1975. I lived in Cruzada Street off Legarda. I also attended elementary school in San Sebastian College whose basilica you visited. Brought back many memories. The church exterior looks dilapidated with rust; I hope it gets restored to its glory. Back then, there was no mosque. Now it seems that there is a sizable amount of Muslims in the area. I envision Quiapo turning into a primarily Muslim district someday. Quiapo Church square looks much neater, but the chaos around the perimeter remains. I recognized Mercury Drug, a few historical houses, and the jeepneys. The rest all look new to me. I’m glad you had a great time in my old district and thank you for sharing your adventure with your viewers.

A ham sandwich -how British is that! 😂 The churches in the Philippines are just so amazing! I had no idea there was one built from metal in Manila-this is why we all love your videos and what they show us. Glad the sickness didn't last long 😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇵🇭

Thank you for the BGC tour we had the best expert guide! 😁😁

What haha! Love how you met up with Susie in Phils and her hubby and Kumar! 😁

Thanks KD for showing Quiapo. Brings back good memories when I studied BSEE at Feati University. Missed hopia at Echague and fresh lumpia.

I watch your vlog because you feature the reality of the Philippines and there is no filter which I am most impressed that you did not limit yourself of the places you visited. Thank you or Salamat

Sariwang lumpia in Quiapo is famous..so delicious😊

The steel vaulted ceilings are amazing,great video..

I was born and bred in Manila, but left in 1984. At this point in my life, the only thing I really miss about Manila is that lumpia from Globe. Wish I could make it. Thanks for the memory!

I always enjoy seeing the Philippines thru your eyes. There's something about the way you record and present it that is so appealing. All the heritage buildings and the beautiful churches are something to behold - traces of Metro Manila of the past. And all the power lines that were run through the building to the homes on the other side.🤯 That's always fascinating and surprising to see. Who'd have thought you'd go to BGC so many times in such a short span when you hadn't be there before just a few weeks ago?

Thank you, K. Daot..exploring Quiapo brings me back those days...college days...though not exactly in that busy, remarkable Quiapo ..but I passed by there just because of the traffic.. Amping always!

Wonderful camera work with progressive editing and definitely a nice documentary framework ambiance. Excellent use of natural lighting, that is a very good plus when on the move. Have fun, KD. Enjoy kulas and Therine wedding.

Kumander you should have tried the mongo hopia in echaque hopia bakery in quiapo,too.

I love that there are still horse driven caretelas

some years ago,I took a round trip on Pasig River Ferry as part of my work. The round trip last longer than my work but it's all worth it. Hope to bring my child with me soon on that ferry trip

Honestly, I avoid watching any vlogs about Manila. But yours, I can watch and appreciate!

Excellent adventure, mate! Now you need a little R&R.

Hi KD, I see I have a lot of new vids to watch, I was in vacay to different parts of of the country like you but nowhere near your adventures. I like my adventures with comfort. Looking forward to watching ypur unique travel vlogs.

Anselm, What you've featured is the San Sebastian Basilica.

I’m only 5 minutes into this video and enjoying it. I love the drone footage and narration you add, KD! Really makes me miss my birthplace! Love how you show the foods, the markets, the streets, love hearing the sounds of the city! Wonder if you’ll vlog Kulas and Therine’s wedding? Looking forward to it if so! 🫶🏼🌞
