Two Manilas 🇵🇭|Two Worlds, Minutes Apart

Two very different sides of Manila exist just minutes apart. In this video I explore the contrast between the modern skyline surrounding BGC and a neighbouring community that sits just beyond it. The differences are obvious, but so are the connections. Along the way I experience everyday life on the streets and gain a deeper appreciation for a city that continues to surprise me. I also visit the Manila American Cemetery and Memorial, a place of remembrance honouring thousands who served during World War II. Manila is a city of contrasts, and this was one of the most interesting days of the trip. 📍 Manila, Philippines 🎥 Filmed April 2026
