Korea's Little Manila offers a taste of home for Pinoys in Seoul


There's a Little Tokyo in Makati and there's a Little India in Singapore, but did you know that there's a Little Manila in Seoul?

In an episode of "Dapat Alam Mo," Kuya Kim showed us where Filipinos in South Korea gather for a taste of home.

On a sidewalk in the Korean capital, Filipino vendors erect stalls where they sell Pinoy food like meat, vegetables, desserts, and other treats.

According to Kuya Kim, there are around 60,000 Filipinos in South Korea, excluding the many tourists who visit the country.

With the growing Filipino community, some masses are also held in Tagalog.

South Korea is a popular tourist destination for Pinoys, who are avid fans of K-drama and K-pop.

AirAsia offers seven flights per week from Manila to Incheon and the airline will increase it to 10-11 times come December.
