April 18, 2018, Cole Sprouse arrived in Manila, Philippines, the young star of Riverdale has been spotted in areas that most of the international stars can’t be found.

The Riverdale star really enjoyed the every minute of his tour in Manila, from crossing the streets in Divisoria area, to riding a jeep, to drinking a beer with the townspeople, Cole experienced the life being a Filipino.

The jeepney ride, he said, was something he “needed to do.”

He said that its’s been a big food trip for him since he arrived in Philippines, which was great for he is a food lover himself.

“I tried to see all of the city, as much as I could. Really, it’s been a food tour for me…I’ve just been trying to eat as much as possible. We went to one of the seafood markets yesterday and I just gluttonized myself for about an hour and we didn’t eat again until about 9:00 at which point I gluttonized myself again,” he said.

“It’s just been a process of me consuming unholy amounts of food since I’ve been here, which is pretty great.”

Cole said that Manila is “extremely warm” and he doesn’t just mean the weather.

“I think for me, when I travel, I like to try and get as much of a local experience as possible…I try to stay away from the super curated, the super polished areas. So everywhere I’d walked, we were greeted with a kind of warmth and hospitality that you hope for as someone who travels but you kind of get lucky when you walk into it,” Cole said.

“Mixed with the amazing food and the nice warm weather, and the tank top, it’s been a great experience,” he said.

“My original plan was to travel around the islands and be able to see some of the beaches and lounge about on the beach for a little. Ben [Chan] and I were talking about it last night, there was a mythical, spiritual island that I really would love to visit,”

Cole visited Manila to be part of two meet-and-greet events with fans on April 20.
