Exploring Manila, the capital of Philippines

Step back in time as we explore Intramuros, Manila’s legendary “Walled City” and the oldest district in the Philippines, built by the Spanish in the 16th century. This historic place is a living museum — filled with well-preserved colonial architecture, cobblestone streets, and powerful stories of the Spanish era. In this video, I walk through iconic landmarks like Fort Santiago, the historic military stronghold, the stunning San Agustin Church, and the majestic Manila Cathedral — each reflecting centuries of faith, power, and culture. The journey continues to Marikina City, where I explore the local markets, street life, and authentic Filipino vibes away from tourist crowds. Finally, the most intense part of the journey — diving deep into Balut, one of the most controversial foods in the world. What is balut? Why do Filipinos love it? Is it really the “worst food,” or is it misunderstood cultural heritage? I explore the taste, tradition, and reactions around this iconic Filipino street food. This video is a mix of history, culture, local life, and bold food exploration — from Spanish-era walls to bustling markets and shocking culinary traditions.
