Is PHILIPPINES Safe for Travelers? | STAYCATION at Citadines Roces in QC

Is PHILIPPINES Safe? | STAYCATION at Citadines Roces in QC, Metro Manila

Is Metro Manila safe? It’s the question that keeps many travelers from visiting the Philippines—or from staying long when they do.

But I’ve lived in this city for almost 17 years.
I know its chaos and its comfort.
And I’m here to show you a side of Metro Manila you may have never seen—or perhaps forgotten.

In this first episode of my Staycation Series, I check in at Citadines Roces in Quezon City—just a stone’s throw from the dynamic neighborhood of Tomas Morato, known for its food, coffee, and walkable streets.

I visit Amistad Spa for a much-needed reset, and end the day with a soulful meal at a local tapsilogan.

Simple. Real. Honest. Manila.

This series is for locals, budget-conscious travelers, and anyone who’s ever wondered if peace is possible in the middle of the metro.

Note: This vlog is part of the travel series project, which started on April 23, 2024. While the project aims to feature the destinations we visited, we also tell stories of the journey, and in some cases, provide you tips and tricks to maximize your every travel, and avoid the unnecessary stress. Hope you could join me in this journey. Together, let us not only see the world, let's enjoy the moments, and bring with us the lessons along the way.
