The moment we arrived 🇵🇭 La Union to Baguio roadtrip

Last July 2024, I went on a roadtrip with two creators I met on the internet. We travelled across La Union to Baguio and met people I didn't expect at the end of the trip.

---
Paolo, Mark, and Miki met on the internet when "filmtok" had just emerged in late 2023. After following each other on the internet, we exchanged messages, me and Mark had met up prior, Paolo said he was coming home to Manila, and it led to this trip. During Paolo's last days here, we had posted a creator hangout on Instagram and see who would come.

I've been creating content for a year now on TikTok and Instagram and only recently found a sense of comfort in speaking in Taglish in my videos (also recently just found confidence in talking in general in my videos too). I've connected with different creators around the world and knew it was time to reach more of my own people too. Doing so has led me to connecting with so many creative Filipinos, here and abroad, and seeing that we have so many stories to tell together. So happy this reached you and I hope this paves the way for other Filipino creators as well. Thank you for watching ❤

I have no idea how I got here but I'm glad I stumbled upon your video

I can see the work that went into this. Keep doing what you're doing. Filipinos need more vlogs like these.

the run in the beach, having fun, the color grading. so much feels for that.

No rules were broken. Once you travel the world you will see that Filipinos hanging out together as strangers bound by language is the most natural thing you will ever experience. Its a family without anyone saying it is. Thanks for sharing.

its been 2 years since I made my last vlog/film, and grabe this gave me goosebumps. Ako lang ba tinatamaan ng goosebumps kapag nakaka-stumble sa mga content na maganda ang color grading, song choice, shots and storytelling. First few seconds palang, I already knew that it was going to be a good watch!

First time kong uuwi sa Pilipinas next month after 4 years. Grabe this inspires me so much to film my Philippines trip huhu, ramdam na ramdam ko yung passion! Thank you Miki.

Frankly, you sell yourself short when you say you aren’t a poet. The language you speak, both verbal and visual, are artful and inspiring. I’m glad the internet brought me to this.

Maaan! these scenes are so nostalgic, yung mga biglaang college road trips, sobrang spontaneous.. Love every sec of the video, framing, color grading, galing! And the choice of music!! Had to share this to one of my long time friend whom I barely talk to kasi may family na kami and all. Had fun watching it, but also felt sad missing the thrill of our younger days. Enjoy every moment of it, you'll never know when it starts to fade.

Now this is something Cinematography and story telling in the phillipines can't do. Just good color grading footage with raw scenes, no acting, just enjoying the moment.

Stumble on this masterpiece! Youtube algorithm doing well

[cocobearzzzs]

GLAD I STUMBLED AT THIS VIDEO, THE CINEMATOGRAPHY IS A TOP NOTCH!!!

[johnjvcabardo]

Woahpaolo is one of the filmmakers I look forward, and I came across this video and thought this video was for me, like iniexpect kong makita dito sa youtube na may isang Pinoy/Pinay na gagawa nang ganitong klaseng content, na para bang pelikula ang kanyang dating, from now on I'll be subscribing you and will support this channel! More video plssss!!!!

[JeromeGonzales]

This looks like a music video and I love how personal and soulful this vlog is. It's kind of refreshing from your usual daily vlogs. I hope you continue to make great content!

[JamesRaymondCruz]

As a shy creative, this really inspired the sh*t out of me. For some they just found this as a great film - for me, I found a great space. Padayon ate Miki! : )

[Tunapie]

It’s like watching a coming-of-age movie like Lady Bird. This made me feel things. Keep it going.

[IansonKing]

YT recommendation really does give you that one masterpiece in the most random times. One of the best videos I've stumbled upon so far. The cinematography is just SO CLEAN

[Kiboko]

This is one of the best vlogs I've seen in a very long time, and I'm a videographer/editor for a bunch of influencers. All I gotta say is... Keep going! 🚀

[kylespartero]

[shvmchon]
