  no obnoxious background music, pure and raw footage with no dramatic transitions or editing. This is what documentaries should be

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgCkp12envw&amp;t=242">4:02</a> ...residents sit outside to catch some &quot;fresh air&quot;... This made me sad and laugh at the same time. So true, outside the house- a mix of sewer stench, the smell of sweat and cigarette smoke, gasoline and exhaust fumes, and the aroma of a dish getting cooked using bagoong and patis - fills the air. And this is still fresher than the dense humid stagnant atmosphere inside the house.<br>This brought me back to my childhood growing up in the Sampaloc area. I felt a tug and a longing in my heart, and a melancholy knowing that I can&apos;t live in that kind of a condition anymore. <br>Cheers Onad!

  One thing I noticed while you&apos;re having a walking tour, the alleys are clean without any garbage scattered around. That&apos;s a great community! 😊 Btw, i hope that your camera is still working 😀

  Thanks for another great vlog Onad. <br>When you said (at ~8.55 into the video) &quot;...or simply enjoying the late afternoon breeze...&quot; it made me realise how much I have to learn from your part of the world. <br>👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

  Hey, I&apos;ve visited the Philippines not too long ago. It was a lot getting used to public transportation coming from places like Germany, Korea and Japan and the air was sooo humid, but man was the country beautiful. I didn&apos;t visit any big cities, I was just passing by on my way to an island. I could immediately tell that life isn&apos;t easy and saw a lot of poverty everywhere. However, I also saw kids being kids and whole communities hanging out and organizing sports tournaments at their local courts late in the evening. Life was a lot further away from screens there, at least it seemed that way as a foreign guest, compared to my home. I miss the buko shakes... It still made me appreciate living in a rich country with economic safety though, you all have my respect for working so hard in that climate. I never &nbsp;once stopped sweating, haha.

  So nice to see many people in the alleys not doom scrolling through their phones in the internet, and actually having conversations and kids playing &amp; socializing.
