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.

here is the coorect one:
basilik_dude@yahoo.com

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:

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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,
J

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?)

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.
