I live in LA but BGC is way better. It is cleaner, and safer.

I live now in Houston, Texas (from Philippines). BGC is better and safer than Houston downtown.

Yeah, the businesses in the Philippines look professional. You don't have to worry about someone crying about their uniform like they do in America. Plus, you don't get the bad attitude also

I just got back from taking a trip earlier this summer and I have to say the Philippines just hits different and I really think it is the people. It's cliché at this point but the people seem more warm, inviting, professional, and just nicer in general than in the US. I would take that with some of the inefficiencies of their services over the straight miserable attitudes that you experience across the US. It was my second time visiting, and I will absolutely be back!

Yes its nice to reply to these comments. I know Philippines can be the same as other countries but it will never be the same culture, hospitality and kindness same as Filipino people.

Hello Sir Ray Kay! I have been following your adventures here in the Philippines and truly enjoy all of them. I am an expat from Seattle and now living in BGC....and like you, I fell in love with BGC. It is a very well designed metropolis....I don't have a car and I don't need one - I can walk to the market, restaurants, the malls ...it's so convenient. The people that work in the malls, restaurants, etc. are amazingly the friendliest in the world. I feel their warmth and sincerity. In the middle of your video - you asked yourself if you could live in the Philippines - I hope you would!

Yes!! It's true that Philippines is a beautiful country not only to visit but to live. Filipinos are polite people. Humble and honest. All locals can speak English language. Too. That is our second language. Most of our books are written in English language. Not the same in other countries here in Asia. Only Philippines are speaking English. So thank you sir for promoting my country as one the most beautiful place to visit. To God be the glory..
