hey everyone welcome to another video this is traveling solo Lodge and today
I'm not traveling so I'm actually with my buddy here hey solo members how is it going welcome
and follow us on this trip yeah so basically right now we're in the Philippines and we're
in a Muslim district over here here you can see over here it's all Muslim town and this
they have actually have the oldest and the biggest mosque in Manila we're just want
to show you guys how it is and also other districts too so let's go on and see how
the over here that says Muslim town let's walk straight there's actually our first
time here which is awesome we just we just came here a few hours ago to meet up with
a friend but now the friend has left so we just want to show you how it is
this kind of reminds me if I want to say someplace in India why would you
say yeah India Mumbai or something yes see people hanging out their clothes
that's how they dry their clothes over there get some fresh watermelon
that's interesting that vehicle over there the tricycle yeah it's fixing that well it's
a bicycle yeah I don't know what you call it actually it's a motorcycle with life
it's nice this this stuff I don't know what is this stuff what's that sir what
is this one say your onions yeah I think it's onions let's get let's carry on see what else
see over there on the right is the mosque it's called the golden mosque and actually
was made in 1976 it was created for the good off yeah for Omar yeah Gaddafi the
ex-president of Libya and he actually did not come on this visit but since they already
created the mosque they just you know kept it and it's been standing till till today
some nice band Deb cafe we're gonna show you guys also some nice Filipino halal food over here so
stick with us stay with us stay put ladies and gentlemen let's see let's see what's over here
land up Kevin this is what they have empanadas tuna sandwich okay very nice
little kids hello kids hello little took took cars
this is definitely one of the most interesting places I saw where I'm
asked is how are you sure yeah Wow hey I came and described it well this
is the entrance this is called Manila golden mask and cultural center hello
yeah the dome is nice actually the dome I believe they want to repair it right now
because if you see over there there's a sign that says don't repair because look it's golden
but unfortunately the years the paint just you know came off yeah you see this as office let
me see Republic of the Philippines office yes it's a rehabilitation for the dome so
it looks like they want to rehabilitate it and here's the mosque so let's step inside
and see how it is all right so before we get in the mosque we got to take off our shoes
okay this is the golden Mosque sound like yes so there's a lot of people
sleeping yeah there was a lot of people sleeping here because I guess they just
like to take breaks here but it's very nice and you can see every
part of the mosque is wrapped with this golden lining it's nice material yeah
and you can see over here this is where the top is where the dome is right here and you
can see all the windows over here very nice and beautiful architecture
here's where they ma'am or the leader of the mosque or do his Friday prayers or any time
when they pray the leader would be in front that's where they you pray and everyone would
be behind him over here over here is where they change the time I believe it's not electronic
they actually just push it themselves which is interesting because other mosques around
the world it's all electronically done so any time when there's a prayer time because
every day that prayer time changes by a little bit so that's why they have that
have you ever seen that like man-made like usually it's electronic right I think it's
my first time seeing it like this but it suits the area and the structure of the place so fun
check this place out let's see and then it has no AC but has a lot of fans just in right now
this is the winter so it's actually not very high and that's beautiful weather
in the Philippines well I think you become in the Sun where we'd be sweating by now
because it's gone back to compact the area oh you see here over here is the
architectures a little bit differently and over there in the back is where the ladies
yes unfortunately I'm not a lady so I can't show you and I don't know if the ladies are
without their hijab which is the headscarf oh and maybe they feel uncomfortable if
I was there to record them so just want to show you this is the barrier for the ladies
yeah for me though okay nice to meet you and he's still a man yeah nice to meet you Sarah
yeah you can see over here they also have this is oh I see this little kid is selling so I'm okay
not right now no thank you over here is where they learn Arabic are just very interesting I
don't I guess this is all their old carpet actually this is a chapter of the it's from
surah al-ma'idah which means the tables okay it's like the whole version of this
all right very nice all right let's carry on let's go let's go outside and check it out
and now we're going to go outside and we're gonna show you more of the surrounding area
and it said that this mosket hold I believe 2,200 people
yes a lot of the kids playing in the street having some fun with each other so I want to
show you just around the mosque like Pulsar like over there I do need to put on my mind
because coronavirus is still hearing it strong so I got to put on a mask got your
mask oh yeah you ready had a mask on from the beginning of the video school you attend yeah
here's the Sonics enter my pocket yeah the mother cell is actually a place where kids learn Quran in
Arabic so that's where they go I was an ablution area yes where they make what do or evolution
as he just said and there's the bathrooms via I don't think it's all of a dirty inside so there's
a mosque right now right oh I look at well you see the mural on the mouse yeah it's beautiful
