Join our British family in this Philippines travel vlog as we fly from Panglao to Manila during Tropical Depression Verbena, embark on a baby shopping trip at Greenbelt Mall Makati, visiting top baby stores like Mothercare, Cotton On Kids, Nuna, and OshKosh.
In this episode of Panglao Life, our British family leaves Bohol and flies to Manila during Tropical Depression “Verbena”, expecting storm delays and airport chaos as we make our way from Bohol Airport to Ninoy Aquino International Airport with AirAsia. After landing in Manila, we head straight to the Savoy Hotel in Newport City to drop our bags before setting off for our main mission — baby shopping.
We travel to Ayala Greenbelt Mall 5 in Makati, one of the most premium shopping destinations in the Philippines, to start collecting baby essentials we can’t easily find on Panglao or in Bohol. Our first big purchase is a brand new Stokke Yoyo stroller from Mothercare, something we’ve been researching for months. We also explore several other baby and kids stores, including Nuna, Cotton On Kids, and OshKosh, comparing products, prices, and what makes sense for life in the Philippines.
From navigating the storm, flying with AirAsia, and checking into Savoy Hotel — to shopping for newborn essentials in Makati — this vlog captures a full travel day, family errands, and preparation for our growing baby’s needs while living abroad.
Whether you’re expecting a baby in the Philippines, planning a Manila shopping trip, or simply curious about expat family life, this episode brings you along for a real day in our journey.
