Adventures in CEBU (My HONEST Experience) 🇵🇭 Searching Paradise In THE PHILIPPINES 

The music in this video (and the entire Philippines series) was made by Paddy Doyle and Zakroams. You can find Zak here - instagram.com/zakroams 'Back on the Road' Damn it feels so good to be back on the road Been way too long since I've been back on the road I've missed the wind in my hair I've missed the roar of my engine Don't know where I am going But I don't care I just wanna drive anywhere The open road is my home And there is nothing I'd trade it for Back on the open road My one true love

I really enjoy your videos, but for the first time after your singing debut that you started in your current series I had to fast forward. Sorry

If you keep this singing going I will definitely be unsubscribing!!!!

Paddy if you haven’t figured it out yet. That rain coat goes over the front of the bike. The window is not to show your balls it’s so you can see the speedometer and for your headlight to shine through. I used one like that while living in VN. They do work well used proper. Thanks for the new video buddy. Keep ‘em coming and my likes will continue to flow. Have fun man!❤

Paddy love you but stop singing 😢😂

Please stop singing, it’s really irritating and brings your videos down.

The stunning beauty of the Philippines has earned a well-deserved spot on my bucket list! Thanks Paddy❤

One more song and I'm outta here....

I liked all your vlogs earlier more 😊 Please do what you did always …explore and not make another influencer PH video…too many man. No singing and promo please 🙏 😂 I know it’s too late as you are out of Cebu island for sure - you should have visited one of the smaller islands like Malapasqua in the north of cebu which was a 💎 in 2006 when I was there …same as Boracay back then Anyway have fun and explore something new for us 👌🍀😎

Please stop singing for gods sake 😂

Hi Paddy what’s with the signing?? We love your work but the signing is killing us 👎😀

Nice video Paddy but my cat ran away when you started singing and wont come back ! 😅

Please stop singing

I’m hoping you don’t sing in this one. One last chance paddy.

Palawan is another great place to visit but the most inspiring places I visited were on two tours in Manila. If you can, visit the dump where the ships empty their trash and the people from children to grandparents that live there go through and separate items to sale. Another is the cemetery tour where thousands live. At both of these places you will meet the nicest people, teach the world what poverty really is, and get a new perspective of our small planet.

I have watched most of videos and love them, but the singing is a major fast forward desired button!

You should take note that Kawasan isn't the only waterfalls in Cebu but there are hundreds more. Yes, Cebu is home to 110 waterfalls systems totalling to almost a thousand individual falls and cascades with the similar clear and clean turquoise blue water. All these waterfalls are unique in their own right and no two falls are similar. The only things these waterfalls have in common are their vivid turquoise blue water, the multiple levels they have, the multiple deep pools for swimming and the amazing lush greenery surrounding them. For starter, based on ease of accessibility, try Aguinid Falls, Inambakan Falls, Binalayan Hidden Falls, Dau Falls, Kabutongan Falls, Montpelier Falls and Mantayupan Falls. You will surely get awed by these beautiful and gorgeous waterfalls. Kawasan Falls, as of the moment, is only accessible if you join a canyoneering activity.

Love the editing ! Beautiful scenery and content. But please, S T O P singing, it's not for you, mate🙉 😂🎼

100% Agree with your decision about not promoting Oslob. The ethics of feeding whale sharks are questionable to say the least, but the Oslob experience will certainly feel like your in an overcrowded Zoo. Far better to experience them in the wild.

Nice vid as always, not sure about this singing malarkey though mate 😂

Respect, Paddy. I appreciate your explanation and position regarding the whale shark swim. I also respect your approach to obstacles, which you use as opportunities to find alternate routes and adventures. Keep up the good work!

Nothing unethical about whale sharks activity in Oslob as the sharks are not cordoned, herded, shepherded, or restricted in their movement. They're still in their natural wild habitat. Oslob is their feeding grounds because it is also the breeding and spawning grounds for krills, the tiny crustaceans that form their main diet. In fact, it is well-organized and fully regulated, supervised by DENR, local university Marine Biology department, WWF and few other NGOs who are stationed on site everyday. Through this activity, more and more people have come to learn more about whale sharks and their conservation. While whales sharks are hunted in other parts of the world, here in Cebu, they're well protected and conserved.

Only ignorant people avoid whale sharks in Oslob. Their utter ignorance often gets the best of them. They don't do research as to how the whale sharks feeding came about. Unknown to many people outside Oslob town, those whale sharks have been visiting Oslob waters for many decades, long before the 2011 viral videos and photos posted on social media. The whale sharks have never been herded, shepherded or restricted. They come to Oslob on their own because it is the natural breeding and spawning grounds for krills (tiny crustaceans). And it has been that way since time immemorial, nobody knows when and how this phenomenon started. Most older residents of Oslob don't even know how the whale sharks started coming to their town because all they know is that they're already there when they were born. How could one possibly herd or shepherd those giants? They are fish in the first place, not mammals. Therefore, they can't be trained. The feeding only began after the viral posts on social media by local tourists who curiously rode on the back of the fish, others held the tail and fins. Shortly after, the Oslob local officials were surprised after the local office of DENR 7 (Department of Environment and Natural Resources) called their attention if they allow such people to interact with the sharks. More surprises came to local officials of Oslob the following days when more and more tourists (domestic and foreign) came in droves that resulted to the abrupt stop of the activities. Local officials of Oslob called the help of local office of DENR, the university's (USC) Marine Biology department, WWF (Worldwide Fund for Nature) and few other organizations. A few months later (early 2012), they opened the attraction but this time, set up guidelines in the interaction with the sharks. From then on, every tourist needs to attend a briefing on the dos and don'ts. So the activities are well-regulated and there are representatives from DENR, USC Marine Biology, WWF and other animal welfare and environment NGOs stationed at the site every single day. They tag every single shark that came during the first months and have noticed a huge rise in the population of whale sharks since then. The activities in Oslob is not unethical but in the contrary, a big conservation effort by these officials allowing more and more people to learn more about these gentle giants who have been hunted for their fins and oil in other parts of the world. As a result, more people are getting aware of the importance of the sharks and how to conserve them and be advocates of their existence. The whale sharks in Oslob are in their natural wild habitat, not an aquarium or restricted enclosure. They simply leave just before noon.

Mate. So cheesy. S you are doing some great stuff. The cut aways of walking is just fake acting. Don't do the singing. Lets just enjoy being real. Little painful. Great times ahead but just be yourself Y

Good on ya Paddy. The Whale Sharks are magnificent creatures. We swam with them at the Donsol interaction center. Their natural migration path. Looking forward to more of your travels in the Philippines. It's always interesting with you.

I just have to say something.. I was born and raised in Manila but left decades ago, anyway you Paddy and all of your viewers, for some reasons, are some of the most down to earth, realistic, adventurous, fearless, 🎉respectful human beings . Regardless of how difficult and frustrating some situations are , you stay realistic and are never condescending . I have not seen or heard a sense of entitlement from you and your viewers as well, which quite honestly is something I rarely see nowadays from where I live. I’m finally seeing and reading real human emotions devoid of pretentions. Keep it coming Paddy, thank you, and I’m subscribing now.

The Countryside is so Beautiful another Awesome Adventure Paddy Doyle Thank You.🙂

Philippines 🇵🇭 is so beautiful i have never really wanted to go but after watching your series so far I’m going to go . Thanks Paddy for the adventures.

Try to get over to Camiguin Island off the big island of Mindanao in the South , one of Philippines ' tiniest islands but the most volcanic island in the entire planet with over seven active volcanoes. Labeled as the Tahiti of the Philippines, small (easily loop round in motorbike in one hour) but with loads of natural wonders ( hot and cold springs, a most unique Soda spring and yes, the water do really taste like sparkling soda!, waterfalls, volcano hikes, a sunken cemetery from turn of the century eruption, a spectacular white sandbar in the middle of the ocean, home to giant clams, very local and non-heavy tourist footprint, etc. Easy and quick travel to the island by flight from Cebu, Manila and direct ferry services from Bohol and many points. Great island to get away to and greatly local with first class accommodations.

Cebu has always been the 'poster boy' of Philippine tourism long before Boracay, Palawan and Bohol became popular in middle of 1990s. Cebu, in fact, was the default destination for white sand beach, scuba diving and snorkeling activities in the Philippines in the 70s, 80s with Mactan and Moalboal leading Cebu's must-go-to places. Until now, Cebu still attracts more foreign tourists than any single destination in the country. Germans, Japanese and Americans used to be the largest foreign tourists in Cebu between 1970s until 1990s. Koreans started to overtake all three groups in early 2000s and in 2019, just before the pandemic came, Chinese tourists were poised to overtake Koreans as the largest group of foreign visitors to Cebu when their number narrowly edged out by Koreans by triple digits, at around 800,000 to Korean's 1.2 million. British tourists have never been a big fan of the Philippines ever since so they're mostly ignorant about the Philippines. So they're surprised by Moalboal's large expat population.

Well done Paddy, i totally agree with you about the whale shark's, You gave us a great view from the mountains instead, which we don't see very often from others thanks and keep those videos coming. Take care

This episode is absolutely everything.. Green scenery, the romance of solo spontaneous travel. And good on you on the decision not to do the whale shark thing. I met a lady from Cebu working in Cyprus earlier on this trip by judging by your adventure it's much of what she described from her youth there. Also the music!

Paddy's ! Looks like you got your "10,000 steps" in on this video ! The whale shark thing is just another extension of what was once a good thing, being " loved to death". Same/ same. Safe travels ! 🤞👍🙏

Love PH but paddy my brother skip the music video segments pleez

Skip 5:30 until 7:30! Jesus! Keep your ears safe. You will thank me later!

followed you for a very long time, but not keen on this new editing and singing all gone a bit off track and silly, but I suppose some will like it. But time will tell.

stop singing in a video.

Thank you for being so kind to whale sharks. I hope the LGU will get your message regarding the taking care of their number one attraction, their environmental health issues!

Certainly, there is more to Cebu than Kawasan and Oslob. Don't you know, that Cebu is originally famous for white sand beaches, island hopping, snorkeling and scuba diving back in 1970s until 1980s? That's the reason why there are lots of luxurious beach resorts all over Cebu. Both Kawasan Falls and Oslob whale sharks are just recent attractions to foreigners. Kawasan Falls in early 2000s and Oslob whale sharks in 2012. But local tourists from Cebu have long been frequent visitors to these attractions even before mass tourism started in early 1990s.

The best views. The best times. ❤❤❤The best ways to see the world. Thank you for being so generous in sharing this.

06:34 - what the hell am I watching 🤣🤣

Please no more singing 😢

Oh Paddy🤦🏾‍♂️ that “window” is to be draped over the headlight. When in doubt… do as the locals do 😆 Love following your adventures. The music was hilarious but so in tune with the county’s culture. You make me laugh. The editing for this video is on point! Thank you so much for all your effort.

Mad respect for you for not promoting the whaleshark abuse Paddy!🐳🐋

Fully agree about the whale sharks at Oslob - looks really stressful for them! I'm planning my own Philippines trip atm and I'm looking in to staying in Sogod Bay (Leyte) which has some stunning dive sites and is also somewhere whale sharks come on their migration route october-may. Obviously seeing them passing through isn't guaranteed the way it is when they are being fed but I'd much prefer to see them living their natural lives

Great music bringing back the sounds of the 80s yet very contemporary. The whole show is so much fun as usual. Thanks, Paddy.

Awesome video Paddy. Brings back good memories of our time in Moalboal. Will and Jose must love us more. They gave us the right directions to Osmena Peak 🤭

Eto ang mga problema ng pinas kaya konti lang ang mga foreign tourists at hindi sila nagtatagal sa ating bansa: 1. Wala tayong modernong infrastructure. 2. Wala tayong modernong transportation 3. Mahina or walang internet 4. Nawawalan ng kuryente (brownout) 5. Mahina or nawawalan or walang tubig 6. Nakawan sa NAIA airport 7. Expensive accomodations 8. Maraming mandurukot, snatchers at mga kriminal 9. Mga ganid na taxi at tricycle drivers over-charging/scamming foreign tourists 10. Mga basura or litters sa kalye at mga bangketa. 11. Pati sa mga beach, dagat, gubat at bundok may mga basura din..mga plastic bottles, plastik supot, wrappers at kung ano ano pang mga litters. 12. Mga illegal vendors sa kalsada/bangketa, may nagtitinda din sa gitna ng badian canyon, panglao sandbar at mga banka sa dagat ng el nido at coron. Kaya madumi at maraming mga basura sa ating mga kapaligiran at kalikasan. MAGTINDA KAYO SA TAMANG LUGAR. 13. Illegal squatters, street dwellers and beggars everywhere, particularly children asking money from foreigners. Tapos sasabihin natin "Its more fun in the Phlippines" ??? Nakakahiya ! Tourism will boost our local economy kasi foreigners spend money in our country which helps our local business to earn more. The local and national government MUST do something to solve/fix these problems.

Visit Siargao.. it's no.1 best island in the world 😊 and Bohol... since you're near there now..

Paddy brother! You bring me so much joy. Your production is an absolute perfect experience. Not a moment I haven't loved. Excellent work brother. Paddy Paddy Paddy Paddy!

Thanks Paddy, for the information re all your travel blogs, you’ve helped up travel Thailand and now for Philippines next year 👍

Reminds me of ricky Jervis

Great Video Paddy but the singing part was kinda cringed. I always skip the singing part of your Philippine vlog lol.

Go to Donsol, Sorsogon where whalesharks are not being fed and living on their own.

Please please don’t EVER make a musical 😂

Paddy First, as for your on the road song, no, just no, but i do appreciate the enthusiasm. I love the sardine swim. I am planning on going in October. I like how you turned a bad day into a good day. That peak was epic. Kawasan Falls was not meant to be. Last, I agree with you about the whale sharks, not something i would want to see either.

Thailand hijack!!! sorry bro. Chiang Rai or Hat Yai, can only pick one!!!! Thanks buddy.

Yes, Osmeña Peak. The deformed cousin of Bohol's Chocolate Hills. Kidding. Just read that somewhere so no hate please😆. It's actually as pretty as Chocolate Hills i think. I totally agree with you on the Oslob whalesharks. Been telling the same thing to some of the vloggers. Not against whaleshark tourism, but it should be heavily regulated for the sake of these gentle giants. Anyway, i miss Will and Jose's PH vlogs. Hope to see them back again soon. ❤

Those peaks of Badian Mountains (where Osmena Peak belongs) are an indication that Cebu existed millions of years before other islands in the Philippines, including Luzon and Mindanao were formed. Cebu is completely a coralline island, or low island. Low island is an island of coral origin, where its rocks are primarily made up of organic materials such as limestone that formed after millions of years of natural processes. The rocky peaks of Badian Highlands are samples of limestone rocks as a result of natural erosion from both air, wind and water movement. Only in Cebu where you can find these natural limestone formations. Other prominent indications as to Cebu's age is the presence of the huge deposits of dolomite, natural gas and carbon mineral. Cebu is home to the largest carbon and dolomite deposits in the whole Philippines. Just ten years ago, an oil deposit was discovered with commercial value in Alegria, an adjacent town of Badian. The oil field in Alegria has just been recently tapped for commercial extraction this year.

This channel is awesome I loved the singing too, lovely voice though. The drone shoots are amazing...😍

Agree with you on Cebu City, I didn't think much of it although my wife is Cebuana 🤫 It does have an interesting history though, including Mactan where the great Lapu Lapu knocked off Magellan, and I believe at one point Cebu was considered as a potential capital of the Philippines. Thanks for the vid, I really need to explore that island more someday!

🐋🐋Totally agree with your decision not to do the whale shark visit. Absolutely a wrong and unnatural experience and really an abuse of the animal. They're more or less captive and being taken advantage of. Same reason people shouldn't ride elephants, or take roadside pictures of captive animals etc.. Wild animals should be free and these whale sharks aren't..🐋🐋

Great vlog paddy.respect for not promoting the whalesharks.dont know how they get away with it.the stress will kill them eventually😶

Super good that you’re not supporting that with the wales 👌 it’s the right decision

You don't have to SEARCH for PARADISE in the Philippines. IT IS THE PARADISE!

Hello Bro Paddy !🤗🙂❤️ I enjoy watching your videos . And nice to hear your songs. You sound like Paul McCartney !!🙂💞🙂 Keep making good videos take care and God bless you always! 🙂💞🤗❤️

the window in the rain suit ...its probably for the fifteen or more kids that sitts in the parent lap while driving

That rain ponchos’ window for people still be able to use their phone while it’s raining like texting or whatever

With keeping the whalesharks at an area, being fed as tourists watch and swim with them, their natural movement around the world is disturbed. Yes, tourists can accidentally hit them. ... But, there are places in the Philippines where they are wild and free. Try Donsol ... if you have the time.

Hi, I have watched all your stuff and miss seeing you with guys you were with in covid. I am not a fan of this level, the intro makes no sense and I can do without the music videos If you want a career in that can you make a second channel for it. I think your stuff before was great as I like to follow you on your adventures. I would suggest getting a bike and doing germany and europe next then america. I know you love the asian countries but so many do those and I want to see more. Please no more music videos I am a rocker and not into the techno or whatever your doing. one is enough. LOL

The music video 🤣 we didnt expect that lol ❤️❤️❤️

Ohh Paddy only a pommy wouldn’t guess what the clear plastic part in he raincoat was for 😉😎 it’s for the headlight man when ride at night !! And you throw that part over the front of the bike NOT over those legs!! Got it?

Absolutely agree about whalesharks, there's nothing natural in that activity and nothing to share on your RU-vid channel 👏👏👏

There is another tour that find whale shark in the wild, I think it was in donsol Philippines, the downside is that It will take you hours to find one

I love Cebu sir..😍😊my home province

Love your videos but have a sneaky feeling you're going to look back and say, 'What was I thinking singing!'...... Maybe not... Still a great episode. 🎉

❤ love ur channel😊. What drone do u use? Thanks

When I was in Cebu it was a shit-hole and by the looking at your video it still is 😂

Just found out your channel, sir 😊. Thanks for the effort and hardwork just to share with us your adventure in the PH❤. We appreciate you so much. God bless you! Cheers for more adventures 🥂❤️

Respect. The canyoneering thing isn’t closed though. You went straight to Kawasan Falls which is indefinitely closed. You need to find the the folks offering canyoneering tours. They’re good people.

Gosh... Paddy should go participate in Britain's Got Talent !!! Back on the Road !!! Well done !

The Philippines is paradise some stunning beaches that only locals know about

Wow!...i must say i like casino peak than osmena peak and yes its a quite an adventure...visit mindanao as well Paddy 😁😁😁

Your videos really improved in quality! Great Content, But please don’t sing 🎤😉

Every turn in the road is an adventure that's why the Philippines is so lush Thailand hasent got much left of jungle and lost 80% Of forest Thailand

I love you videos. I could do without the music.

Local Islanders know where the whale sharks are. Ask for a private tour. For $50 they will take you to where they are ( not the ones in Oslob) . Leyte and Bohol are great islands for this. If you are lucky there will be baby whale sharks, and they will be curious about you and interact. Much better experience in my opinion. The turtles on Apo island are cool, but they can bite if you piss them off. If you scuba, there are hundreds of shipwrecks you can explore along with local sea life. Contact some of the vloggers like Gio, Mark, or Filipino Pea. They can tell tons of really cool places to visit. Sorry your trip has kinda been a let down for you so far, but the Phillipines has a lot to offer. I've never been to the resort islands like Siargao, Palawan , or El Nido....but I've heard they are all great in their own way

Hiya Paddy. Still can't get over how epic the intro is for this series. Smashed it again. The window. Haha. Oh, you are a legend. You make me smile so much. Love it. Don't want to say too much. As I think I give things away. You got this on lock. Fantastic footage. Gorgeous drone footage. Perfect tunes. The Philippines is one of the most beautiful places to scuba or snorkel. Epic footage. Gave me goosebumps. Wonderful experience. Everything you saw. Wow. Envious. Magical. For your own safety with the waterfall. Seen bad things when the water levels are high. Will and Jose. Love them. Glad you turned back. Filipinos are lovely. Lovely hikes. Beautiful video. Amazing views. Amazing drone footage. Respect for all the work put in for all the shots. Some of those ledges were scary. Things happen for a reason. Loved this journey. I think you did right not to promote it, Loved this. I did not want it to end. Constantly hanging for the next episode. Epic video. Can not wait for the next one. Thank you. Have a wonderful week.

Oh! If you really like Falls, you can visit Aguinid falls in Samboan it's in South also, you are almost there hahahaha There are so many falls in Cebu though hehehe

Woww- You’ve come a long way Mr Doyle!!! This video is totally “Next Level “ Your intro is mega awesome and completely professional!!! My husband & I have been following ever since shelter-in-place & this video is amazing!!! We’ve never been to Cebu and/or Boracay & this is now on our bucket list! Thanks for sharing this awesome video 😊

Good to see you enjoying Cebu as much as i do in my own hometown 😉 from pure Cebuana ❤

You have got to stop doing music videos

Window to the crotch, how handy. This will be the title of my new book! Live the dream mate.

I can't with the songs lmao.

PLEASE PLEASE stop singing.

Absolutely more fun in the Philippines

Padddyyy!!!!! You missed going to BOHOL Island!! Its just 30mins away from Cebu!! Seeing Chocolate hills and Tarsiers!!!😭

Your motorbike journeys are proper next level, love watching them!

Glad you back on the road again Paddy. I enjoy your videos and being able to travel virtually because of them. Also look forward to all you have to show us of the Philippines. Luv luv all of it always

Hello i always enjoyed watching your video very entertaining and quality content👌i love your style 👍❤️
