What is "The living room"? Hotel?
i think the living room is his living room
Yes. It is the Living Room of my apartment in Malate. And I rent out the bedroom on a daily, monthly basis.
It's as simple as that.

Hi there! Thanks for emailing. How nice of you.
It's not easy being a guide. YOu have to be part actor, part yaya, and part national ambassador. I do hope to see you in Manila for a tour one of these days! Stay in touch and follow that dream to become a tour guide.
Take care!
Carlos
Tried emailing you but the address doesn't seem to work.
sorry mali pla ang naibigay ko..
here is the coorect one:

sir,
looking forward to have a good communication with you...
after i grad, i will be in manila ryt away, makkipgsapalran ako jaan...
meantime, i try influencing my classmates and the entire studentry of tourism in my school to get out and exposed their selves to the industry where they will be working soon... undeniably, level of instruction here is very low.
when i transferred here i was really devastated knowing tat students enrolled in my school gets less....
i said to my self, b4 i stepped out in tis institution, i will make a difference...
partly u inspired me. i want all tourism students here will develop sense of confidence and self trust to prepare their selves in their career.
i always share in the class tat somewhere in Luzon there is this guy who try to repackage the image of manila to its tourists, changing the negative perception of foreign tourists.... Let us follow him.
Hope you can visit dipolog city sir... It would be my honor to tour you around. like manila, dipolog and dapitan has rich history and attraction, both in nature and socio-cultural
incase my e mail add wont work agen, you can ask my another acct through tis number:
09152896223
goodnight

The feeling is intense. (ok, to a demured degree) but i have to put it in words- that i was starstrucked with Carlos when i saw him at Instituto Cervantes de Manila.
It was the night when the entire hispanic community was celebrating the centennary of the famed Mexican artist-Frida Kahlo.
The night is a surprise of fun-filled activities and a burst of people with unmistakable refined taste of a arts.
Vino tinto and Vino Blanco are flowing at all corners! Spanish foods are ubiquitous! Of course, i never missed to grind a single stick of i-dont-know-it-but-taste-so-spain.
i felt sullen not to have a digital camera that time when Carlos was brushing with my elbows. what a vivid flashback of memory that was! I respect and admire this guy.
I went home sparkly-eyes over the event and wishing i cross again with Carlos Celdran.

HI Mr. Celdran,
I'm Christina Elliott, a travel management student from Pangasinan.
I heard a lot about you and your "genius art of tour guiding".
I wish I could experience one of your tours sometime and learn from it, together with my friends because you are making a huge difference in the tour guiding industry and changing manila's image to the eyes and ears of tourists.
Keep the good work!
looking forward to your response.
here's my email add:

Hi Carlos,
I was in your Dec. 12 tour. I was the one who got stuck in traffic on roxas blvd due to a global peace chuva in luneta. i know i have thanked you personally right after the tour, but i feel it wasn't enough, considering how extremely grateful i am for having "met" someone who cared so passionately about Manila - my hometown too. I plan to go on the same tour with my husband (who is from paranaque), hopefully before the end of this year. i am sure he will enjoy it as much as i did. sana may complimentary choc-nut pa rin. merry christmas carlos!
Hi! I appreciate so much the tour that I had when I was still back there. Actually, I started blogging this week and I posted about how i felt about it. Thanks. I don't remember what month it was but it was a tour and we rode the Kalesas.
Continue the good deed. I never forget what you are doing for our country. Amazing.
Hi Mr. Carlos Celdran,
I'm Chairee Mae Tiangsing from UP Diliman - Asian Institute of Tourism. I have been in two of your walking tours and I must say that you're the only actual (and most famous too. ;p) tour guide I have encountered here in the Philippines. You've been in the industry for quite a long time I guess and I would appreciate it a lot if you could share some of your personal opinions of what are the BEST PRACTICES in tour guiding. I haven't seen a book about tour guiding or any related article and it interests me a lot. Like how you manage people visitors, how you effectively research general information and data, how to liaise with supplier's staff, and any other best practices in the tour guiding profession. :)
Please do contact me if you have the time. Credits will be given upon the interview.

Thank you Sir and I hope to hear from you soon.
Chairee :)
Hi Carlos! I was one of the lucky people invited by Linda in her 'Different Despedida Tour" at San Agustin last Sat March 15, 2008. I was suprised i did enjoyed what i thought would be a boring morning given the fact that I had a hang over because we had to much "partying" the night before hahahaha... I enjoyed your antics and whew did i get the review of Philippine History in a matter of 2 1/2 hrs...I recommended you as well to some of my foreigner friends.. I enjoyed it so much that I posted it in my Facebook Account.. Do add me in facebook so you can see our pictures. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=670733314... How can I post the pictures taken during the tour.. ? Hope to join the other tours soon..take care ...Monette
Hey darlin,
love your blog on Ige Guillermo Ramos. Support that notion of you 100 pc. He truly is Pinoy high society in the most noble and humble sense. And I'm glad I married into high society.... Haha
Hi - I don't want to be a nuisance but an Indonesian friend posed a question that I find myself wondering as well. She (and now, I am too) is wondering if you happen to be related to David Celdran? She finds that you two are quite similar in physical features hence the question.
Hi Carlos,
Your Intramuros tour (Nov 3, 2007) was one of the best memories of my few months spent in Metro Manila last year. Keep up the good work on your blog as well as your passion for changing the perception of Manila.
If anyone can do it, it's you.
Cheers from Canada,
Hi Carlos,
I really like your blog which is promoting cultural awareness in the Philippines. I also read your other blog which featured the Galleon Trade Artists. When you get the chance, can you please forward me a list of Filipino American artists that participated in this event?
I would like to get in touch with them since I'm looking for Filipino American artists to celebrate their works on my website:
http://www.filamartists.com
I also have a blog in which you can check out at:
http://www.filamartists.com/creative-pinay
I listed your blog on my blogroll, you can link my blog, if you like. And feel free to drop some comments.
I'm looking forward to your response. Email me:
creativepinay@filamartists.com
More power to your blogging and keep up the good work.
glad to hear that you are okey....
try to get some rest....

Hi Carlos,
I've been fortunate to be in one of your tours. Well done for making an otherwise boring litany of historical facts a pleasant and patriotic experience.
But I digress. I live in Australia and have recently come across a newspaper article that mentions your great work. Unfortunately, I am unable to attach a scanned copy within this 'comment' space.
Let me know if you're interested in perusing same and to which email address you'd like it to be sent to.
Regards,

Hi Carlos,
We are planning to join the Dec 30, 930AM Intramuros tour. How do we go about it? Just show up there or should we coordinate with your people to reserve a slot for 8 pax (5 adults, 3 kids above 11yo)? Planning to take the Pasig ferry to intramuros - which station do we alight to go to Manila Cathedral (the tour will start there, right?)
wei... I'm a tourism student and I'm planning to join the intramuros tour on jan. 25 with my classmates. Are we just going to the starting place and pay there? should we have reservations and stuff? Please reply asap, i'm going to check this site regularly for your rply, I also hope to see the tour schedule for the month of february soon... tnx!!!
funny,touching,magnificent,informative,inspiring...and im not even talking about the tour...excellent job carlos,but then again i expected nothing less from you...
allan elvis
hi!!! I joined the intramuros tour last sunday... You were great. It was really worth everything. 'hope you continue doing this. tnx!
Hi!
Do you have cemetery tours? Sorry, may pagka-morbid. I ran across the another blog mentioning you doing a walking tour of cemeteries. It got me interested kasi I'm doing a blog of cemeteries.
hi carlos,
can i reserve 2 slots for the imelda tour on sept 5?
hi,
so sorry to cancel last minute. i hope that i can do your tour one day.
Carlos, don't you think it's about time na magkaron ang Filipino Internet community ng Liberal forum.
Tingnan mo sa US, yung mga Democrat supporters may website tulad ng huffingtonpost, democraticunderground.com at dailykos para i combat ang black propagandan g mga rightwing. Yun ang kulang dito, an organized forum site to combat the misinformation of the Fascist theocrats.

Hi.
I joined your walking tour last December with a couple of balik bayans and it was very enjoyable and educational even for me.
What you are doing is great and finally we have a "legitimate" and relevant activity here in the city for foreign guests besides bringing them to Greenhills to shop for pearls -- hehe.
Anyway I thought that you might be interested in this series of posts in my blog. Here's the link:
http://freakofnaturezzz.blogspot.com/search/label/The%20Plaque
I am tring write the story of the house as it passes on from one generation to the next. One aspect is the physical--documenting the old interiors before they fade away, the projects we do to preserve what's left, and also our contributions and touches as the current residents of this grand old home. But more interesting I think are the stories from the people who have lived in the house. Sad to say that my grandfather, the primary source of these stories has passed away, which is why I am scrambling and scroungeing around for tidbits and anecdotes from my dad and trying to document them in this blog before they are all forgotten.
The story of this "plaque" is one of those stories.

Well, it's just about 3 weeks in advance. Any chance you can open up a tour on March 23 or 24?
Ooh. Ill be out of town on the 23rd and 24th. :o)
Next one after is on 26th Friday 9am Intramuros....
Just to let you know that your tour was just the begining of an amazing Discovering Filipinas trip!
Thanks for change my point of view about Manila. Unforgetable FILIPINAS!!
hi carlos, i was hoping you could have a deluxe intramuros tour on a saturday. it seems there's none. as stated in your page, we can communicate our preferred schedule 3 weeks in advance and you might be able to facilitate one with the same fee. which i did. but the girl who replies on the published number said you can't do that anymore. i hope you just take it out of your page to avoid confusion. thanks
This request method still holds true. But Saturdays and Sundays are difficult to have for private tours as it is the busiest tour days of the week.
Hi Carlos,
don't you do the Binondo-Tour anymore? I couldn't find dates for it. Would be a pity!!!
Do you still give Chinatown/Binondo Tour/ Where can i see dtails/
Sorry. Quiapo tours are indefinitely postponed for now.
hi, carlos, any chance of the binondo tour ever happening again? my brother & i would be in manila in july of 2010 & i'd like to squeeze in a binondo tour in our itinerary. authentic chinese dishes in manila is on top of my list, yumm!
Hey there!
Sorry, but I've indefinitely suspended my Quiapo tours. But I do know oldmanilawalks.com does the food tour you speak of!
For now though its really only my Intramuros and Imelda tours..
Hope thats alright?
Hi Carlos, this Ned from Ambient Media. Love your work and all the activities you have been doing for the past years.
You have truly made us very proud to be Filipino. I am all for Cecil's suggestion that you head the Tourism Department, it would make our country the most sought after tourist destination in the future.
More power to you!!
Hi Carlos,
I saw/heard your video and commentary about the old Manila photos by Teodulo Protomartir. Too bad I didn't know about the exhibit until now. Anyway, I would just like to ask if you have any recommended books about the untold stories of Manila? The feature article was so interesting (tracing the old Manila, comparing the old photos with the recent ones). I hope you can do a lot of those soon (your own TV show or book maybe?! hehe..) You're doing a great job! I hope I can join one of your tours soon. Good luck!
-Charm Chavez
Salut Carlos,
Before my visit to the Philippines and taking one of your highly recommended tours. Can you suggest any books that gives a good glimpse of Philippine daily life or culture?
Merci!
Bisous!

hi carlos, any chance of ever doing a corregidor overnight tour again? i heard its highly recommended.
Maybe soon! Maybe soon!
Carlos, are you a late or early sleeper? Can you possibly be bothered with a late night phone call - if it's for a good cause?
My husband and I are visiting the Phil in July 2011 with our two teenage sons. I'd really like to experience your Intramuros walking tour, would that be available at that time of the year? Thanks.
Hello Mr. Celdran
I'm not sure if you receive my text message. I'm LeeAnne from QC. Kindly send me thur e-mail the tour schedule for April 2 or 3 that are in the morning. Where and what time do we all meet. I will bring my whole family along, senior citizens and all there will be more than 10 of us. I hope you can still accomodate us on this day. Thank you,
LeeAnne
Hi Carlos,
I've done your Intramuros tour and loved it! I want to know if it would be possible for you to do a tour for a group of roughly 40 students (or more because my colleagues are also interested)? I would love for my students to learn history your way! We are looking at July 2nd or 9th for this, but if you prefer or are only free on certain dates, please let me know. Thank you very much!

Hi Carlos,
I just recently watched Ultimate Journey on Discovery HD on my living room in Dubai and you were featured as the tour leader extraordinaire.Even though I'm a true Filipino at heart but you made me love our country more.My british boyfriend ( who was watching with me then) was amazed coz I myself doesn't know where or how to start of showing our WOW Phils to him. We have so much to offer but you made it so unique and entertaining that after the tour, you made everyone love our country.I wish that you will be our tour guide when we plan our visit to Manila...Kudos to you....
I saw you on television last year giving away derby hats, I was wondering how much do you sell it?
Hi Carlos, we're happy we got to catch your tour when we were in Manila last month. We wrote about it and we were able to take some good photos of you. You might be able to use them sometime. Here's the link: http://www.wanderlost.net/
Keep up the great work!
Thank you Wanderlost! I posted it on my network! :o)
