Philippine Roamer

Philippines Commuter

I took that picture when we were booked at Savoy Hotel last week. We met my brother-in-law at NAIA in the evening and went straight to this hotel. We got a cozy and very comfortable room, though the air-conditioning was too much for me. As I was preparing to sleep, I decided to do this blog, Philippines Roamer, and a Youtube channel, Philippines Commuter.


As I've said, I'm a novice video maker and I'm making my Youtube channel as my practice. For now I use my smartphone cam (which is not that good) but I plan to buy a good cam someday and make this a career. I roam the streets in Metro Manila---particularly around Quezon City where I live---and take videos of ordinary life in Manila, especially unnoticed life in the Philippines as Philippine Roamer and Philippines Commuter.

I hope soon I'd be able to cover more spectacular places and tourist destinations with a better camera, a really good microphone and zoom-in lens and the works. And one of my plans here is to present the real Philippines to the world (not just some fancy videos) and real life in this country. Second, as a Philippine roamer, I want to help visitors to the Philippines especially with where to go, where to get rides (as Philippines Commuter), where and how to book hotel lodging, where to eat, shopping. Accompany them. Things like that.

There are few folks you can trust with that, especially if you're a stranger here. It's like what I did for my brother-in-law who I helped out looking for a hotel and then an apartment, talking with locals for him and helping him strike agreements. It's important to have someone handy around when you do that in a foreign country like the Philippines.

So, if you're interested to visit the Philippines and wondering about having someone friendly, trustworthy and kind to help you roam around safely, you may want to take along someone like me, the Philippine Roamer, or one of my team players. You can email me by checking out my Google profile on the sidebar. Or checkout my Youtube Channel as Philippines Commuter.

Sometimes, the Philippines gets a bad reputation because of unfortunate isolated cases. I know there are travelers who want to visit the country alone for some adventures but fall victim to some unscrupulous locals or opportunists or scammers. Well, that happens in most countries, not just here. And I want to help reduce the incidences by helping out visitors roam around safely in the streets, being Philippines commuter for years, having grown up here.



I know where to go and not where to go. I know some of the best places to see. I can help visitors get proper rides without being lost in the streets---or at least the tourist won't be alone getting lost if we're lost together 😁 No kidding. It's better to be "lost" together with one who grew up in the place and knows when trouble's brewing or not. As a team of Philippine roamer locals, we can help with this. If not me, then one of my trusted team members can help you out.

We can meet you at the airport, show you to your hotel and roam around the city.
