What the Bangtan Boys (BTS) think about the Philippines


BTS are among the hottest Kpop boy bands in the planet. And the number of fans in the Philippines is also among the highest in the world. To show how popular BTS is in the Philippines, Twitter Philippines has placed the BTS-related hashtag #EpilogueInManila as the 5th most popular hashtag trending in the Philippines for Twitter's 10 years of existence.


The hashtag #EpilogueInManila happened in 2016 when BTS held one of the largest concerts at Mall of Asia Arena. To think that the hashtag is more popular during the Papal visit in 2016 proves the potential power of BTS in the Philippines in entertainment stardom.

BTS also held the Wings tour in Manila this year at May for two days on May 6-7. Prior to the concert in Mall of Asia, many reported that the Kpop boy group arrived in Manila earlier at May 1 after their concert in Jakarta, days before their MOA Wings concert. The speculation of the early arrival may have something to do with the shooting of BTS Summer Package 2017 at the beautiful Coron, Palawan.


Despite the beautiful scenery, the boys find the extreme heat of the tropical paradise unbearable. This video tells more of what the Bangtan Boys think about their excursion in Coron, Palawan in the Philippines.


I haven't been to Palawan or even in Coron, but it is included in the my bucket list. It's understandable that at the specific month that BTS went there, the summer heat was really scorching.

This is where they went to.

Philippines is a tropical country where heat can be experienced in many days of the year when it is not raining and the monsoon and typhoons are not wrecking havoc on certain locations and islands.

BTS Summer Package Vol.3 was released during the week of the last airing of BTS Bon Voyage Season 2 in Hawaii on August 2017.

The should-be gay bars in Cebu

Gay bars in Cebu are known to be mostly strip clubs with young men called go-go boys dancing provocatively to win the hearts of their audience.  Macho dancer is a more popular term for a go-go boy in the Philippines. They are mostly young with muscular or toned bodies and attractive. The handsome lads of the crop of macho dancers get the most wow from the audience while those who manage to impress have the bodies or the "asset". But there is irony in having these strip clubs known as gay bars in the Philippines, especially in Cebu. A gay bar should be a hangout place for gays, not for supposedly gay yet straight dancers who cater to gay and women clientele for a night or a "short-time". It is mostly seen as a male-whore club than a place for hook-ups.  With the relabeling of gay bars in Cebu into male entertainment clubs, the public would now have an idea what kind of club they want to go for hook-ups. Because really, desperate old gay men go to gay bar

Looking Back 2017 and Striving for More Willpower this 2018

The past year 2017 was an interesting one. Personally, I went through a roller coaster of changes, from the business side to the personal preference in music and artists. There were also ups and downs that the last quarter of the year was spent by contemplating on things which I should have done but I was too complacent to do.  The positives on that year include knowing BTS and having to learn about a fandom that has gained traction in the entertainment world. But it is mostly about BTS, a Kpop boyband that has dominated the world through their music and performances. I don't know why I got hooked on them. It was like an epiphany of sorts because suddenly I have become more interested in music that ever before. So, I think I consider it a positive because it helps me to be culturally-adept, music-wise though I am still in the process of learning more. Okay, the positives are more on BTS. But my site also tackles about Boys Love series. I am thankful that during Aug
