No it differs a lot from the rest of the Philippines and I never been to the Philippines yet but it isn’t commercialized nor isn’t any fast development happening and plus there aren’t any corporations everything is small and individual businesses.

Thanks! 😃

@@mohammedosman88 They were known to "mislead" and direct you to an alley, or a corner where they could have "contacts* and perpetrate a crime. I think that has changed now.

Welcome aboard!

Maybe Ill do that at some point, thanks!

Thank you so much!

Ur welcome Myer..

Thanks for the info!

TheTweetkiss is ignorant, he's just guessing. They don't use ringgit there. Some may stock up on ringgit to use for trade with Malaysian traders but as you yourself have seen, they use peso there in local transactions, not ringgit. Most of the goods are imported from Zamboanga, like the white coffee (Great Taste, a Pinoy brand) which you drink, because local manufacturers guard their market. Though a small portion of the traded goods are imported, even smuggled, from Sabah

they dont use malaysian money,😅i lived there for more than a year my brother married a tausug and residing there😅 bongao,magsukol

@@mjziamcklnt9199 @milomilo417 - Please google, here are some of the newsclips saying people in Tawi-Tawi islands use the Malaysian Ringgit besides the Philippine peso : Manila Bulletin : The municipal government of Taganak in Tawi-Tawi has entered into a “verbal agreement” with the Malaysian authorities to allow local residents of Taganak to buy their major household commodities in Sandakan, the capital state of Malaysia. Taganak Mayor Hadji Moh Faizal Jamalul said trading between Sandakan and Taganak merchants has started using the “Malaysian ringgit and Philippine peso” as currency. ABS CBN: Food prices up 100% in Tawi-Tawi due to Sabah standoff. Trade relations between Sabah and Tawi-Tawi have been in existence for centuries due to its geographical proximity. Tawi-Tawi is only around 20 kilometers away. The foreign exchange business has also been greatly affected. In Tawi-Tawi, foreign exchange shops are also on the brink of closing. The Malaysian ringgit is considered a prime currency in trading there." EXPEDITION VLOG to Tawi-Tawi - "Although they are still in the Philippines, they use Malaysian Ringgit against using Philippine peso for trading as they buy their resources from Malaysian traders that are only 30-minutes away" I don't live there, but I understand a bit of economics, there are lots of small Merchants there travelling & buying products made in Malaysia, then reselling these in Tawi-Tawi, to sell these products in Tawi-Tawi, I would rather receive payments in Ringgit since I will use this currency to buy again products in Malaysia who do not accept Philippine peso as payments. These are small merchants unlike big tradings with other big countries where US currency is the preferred payment, .. . .so common sense.

Thank you so much for your constructive comment and kind words. Really appreciate you

Yes it’s a mostly Muslim island, beautiful place

😂 I love this dude and his content but it is a big reach for him being the first RU-vidr to go here! That is 10000 percent false 😂

idk I also thought it was weird

Freemasonry is anti catholic so I guess that says something there. Although it's roots was Jewish

It is like a 45 minute flight

Not really but gotta draw the people in lol thanks for always supporting

Lmao I hate having to do the explanation everytime, I say USA theyre like you dont look Like American, then I have to explain. Its just easier sometime to say Pakistani.

@Qasimmohamed1338 He offered to eat by asking that's how we do in the west. We offer and let the person decide. May be it is better to give money so that he can use it for other items and he can eat his home Made food which is much cheaper. Your comment is due to cultural differences, east vs west. MYERS wasn't cheap, that's how we ask in the west unlike in East(homeland) where you are pressured almost forced to eat. Eat eat eat style hahahha
