The Unexpected Challenges of Vlogging in Makati: My Studio Shoot Adventure

Vlogging in the Philippines comes with its own set of unique challenges, as I recently discovered during a trip to Makati for a short VTR shoot. With my camera in hand and excitement in the air, I set out to find the studio, capturing the vibrant energy of the city along the way. However, my journey took an unexpected turn when a security guard halted my recording, stating, “Bawal yang ginagawa mo sir?” (What you're doing is prohibited, sir). Despite being in a public area, my vlogging was seen as a security threat, leaving me puzzled and curious about the rules governing public filming in the Philippines.

This experience highlights the unpredictable nature of vlogging, especially in bustling urban environments like Makati. It serves as a reminder that content creators must navigate not only the technical aspects of their craft but also the varying regulations and perceptions of public recording. Join me as I recount this surprising encounter and reflect on the complexities of vlogging in public spaces. Stay tuned for more adventures and behind-the-scenes insights into the life of a vlogger in the Philippines.
