Mission: Impossible - Philippines Jersey Hunt 🇵🇭

I went deep into Manila's biggest market, known as Divisoria. My mission was to find a Philippines national football jersey to add to my collection of sports shirts.

I found pictures of it online, so I knew what to look for, but I also knew it was going to be a challenge. Football isn't a popular sport at all in the Philippines, so even in the biggest market in the country, it wouldn't be easy to find.

What was easier to find was some local Filipino snacks. I found a lady selling Pichi-pichi, a sweet and chewy Filipino dessert. I thought they were made with rice flour, as the texture was like a Japanese mochi, but they're actually made from steamed cassava flour.

Just like in the previous vlog, I had dessert and then I went and ate a proper meal. It's not the order I planned to eat things but I just eat what I discover and looks good at the time.

I was actually looking for some Pares, which is some kind of stewed beef, but the local kids showed me to a vendor selling something called Buto-buto, which is a beef soup. I'd never heard of it before but it was a lucky discovery, as it was tasty, filling and cheap. I'd definitely like to eat that Filipino street food again.

The next day I continued the vlog, and the football jersey hunt. This time not in the biggest market, but the biggest mall - Mall of Asia. It turned out not to be the place to find it, but I had a backup plan, which was to attend a local football match and buy a jersey there.

So I booked a Grab Car on the Grab app and headed for the Rizal Stadium to watch ADT (Azkals Development Team.)
