We have come to accept traffic as part of city life, and we all have our ways of coping like sneaking in a quick nap, tuning into our own ‘traffic playlist,’ catching up on social media, and even squeezing in some work on the go. But with high-resolution smartphones and fast mobile data, there’s nothing like watching entertaining vlogs to keep our mind off any bad road situation. If you’re looking for new content to keep you entertained and informed while beating rush-hour traffic, here’s a list that might just work for you:

They’ve also released their own music, proving how talent truly runs in the family. Whether you’re watching for fun or to learn new dance steps, Ranz and Niana will make you want to bust a few moves of your own, even while stranded on EDSA.
