HUGE Landslide DESTROYS My Farm In The Philippines 

To help your recover from the landslide on your calamansi farm. You have had hard luck with the fish farm and now this. Keep going Kumander, we support you and your family. Regards your subscribers Andrew & Lolita Orr

I am watching this today as my wife's cousin was laid to rest just yesterday from the landslide in Davo de Oro Masara and her and her children left behind are on my mind. . It is so sad what has happened this rainy season. My wife and I are in the US now and were able to raise some money to help the families that lost everything in that landslide. I reached out to you, and you were so kind to respond to my message about their situation. I pray for all the families there. Filipinos are so resilient in the face of adversity it's just sad that they must be. I've only been there a hand full of times, but the Philippines has a special place in my heart. Not just because it has given me the love of my life but because I have come to love so many of the people that i have met there in the precious time that i have spent in the country. Thank you for your videos allowing me to feel as though I'm there when I cannot be. Salamat Kuya

Kumander, don't worry it is only part ofyourfarm. You can replant and recover... don't give up. Things would be better ahead. Behind the storm is bright sky

love your positive outlook on what happened tp your farm...❤ as always you choose to find the good side, Kumander Daot!!!

Be like Filipino KD. Resilient,strong and full of hope.

I’m so sad about the landslide but glad no one was hurt in your farm. Praying that you’ll find a solution and that your farm will prosper. 🙏🥰

Keep strong Kumander as things happen even to good people like you. Our thoughts are with everyone affected and those who lost loved ones. Nature can be so beautiful but also so cruel. Recover strong and you are never alone to deal with ups and downs. We are always here for you buddy. Take care my friend 🙏

I spent my childhood from 1963 to 1972. I remember that all forests were full of giant trees. Heavy rains always occur, but there is no flooding or landslides. Unfortunately, the logging firms cut all the trees and sold them to Japan without reforestation.

Ooh no, I am sorry to hear, Anselm. Looking at the glass half full, you’re safe and all not lost. I hope there’s solid foundation below the soil on your farm to withstand the next natural disaster. Best wishes!

That is a massive landslide. Great to see you are still very positive. Life is all about hurdles and how we work around them. Sorry for the loss of all your hard work. Thinking of those who have lost their homes and loved ones. You're looking well. I hope you and your beautiful family have a wonderful weekend. You're a great narrator.

the sun is up... everything will be ok kumander... filipinos are courageous, hopeful, and resilient... and you are a filipino too😊❤

Love to hear you talking. Nature is what it is. Keep smiling, one day at a time.

Hello Kumander D, silent subscriber here. So sorry for the loss part of your calamansi farm, just keep going ...plant trees where the landslide is. Trees that grows fast to protect your farm from heavy rain that can cause damage. God Bless.

So hard to see something you've put so much time and effort into taking a hit like this! You'll come back from it stronger. Thinking of all those affected 🥰❤️

Just learn to be resilient Kumander D. because you are now a true Filipino by heart. Your farm is flourishing despite the landslide. Plant more trees and fruits and annual crops to add cover to the land. Godbless your family. Keep going Kumander D.

Kumander Daot Laban lang Kay God is good and merciful .have faith and pray always.🙏💞💞💞🇵🇭🇯🇵

Yes Kumander, plant bamboo in your farm. It holds the soil together. Malakas ang kapit ng bamboo sa lupa. 👍

Be strong, KD, and God will make a way for restoration and blessings.

You are now becoming resilient in life and adjust to what nature throws at you. Keep up the good work and your idea of planting bamboo is nice. You have options to choose on the variety of bamboo over there and the future you plan for its use ( lumber, decorative, or an erosion preventive measure).

Spent many years working on a property that grew various citrus trees. My boss told me with citrus you need 5 years profit to cover 6 years of produce. Wish you luck Kumander. I’m sure you got this ❤

My heart goes out to you, Kumander. All that hard work undone by the sovereign power of nature which mankind has battled with since the dawn of time. As you said, "it's just plants.." and it only represents five percent of your orchard.

Praying for you and your beautiful family KD!

Just don’t loose hope Kumander we’re here praying for you and your family. God bless you a

Thanks Kumander.. I'm shocked by the rain.. I just left Cauayan on negros 2 weeks ago and our well was dry as a bone and the filter sucking dirt! I was there a month and we barely had a few drops of rain.. and blam.. you guys are chock full of rain. In my area during the rainy season the highway gets waist deep 2-3 times a year.. its a real shame the drainage isn't just a little bit better even but i understand the constraints. "This is the way" to quote the Mandalorian as myself and my partner often do. Great video. I love the life story side.. you are genuine man and it shines through.. never hide your oddness.. haha.. anyone who pretends to be normal I am highly suspect of!

You must plant also bamboo, it can help to protect your farm.

Powerful video…. Thanks for sharing your video and upbeat spirit 👍🏻👍🏻

A crazy idea: there's a steep slope abaca net that DPWH uses to encourage growth on mountain cuts after landslides.

Hi Anselm, you should look into Vetiver grass to stabilize the slope. Plant it along the contours especially at break-of-slope. Vetiver grows a massive root system which is 5m+ deep. It's used for geo-engineering worldwide. Vetiver is related to Citronella and Lemongrass.

Bamboo sounds good, Kumander D. And maybe some hard wood trees for canopy planting.

Give and take about six months when all the stems and roots gets stronger and grip the soil better, you will have kalamansi all over. The landslide area, some of the plants might sprout back up. The fully grown Calamansi trees will prevent future landslide as their roots will keep the soil intact.

Kumander what I did in my newly planted Kalamansi in Dizon Farms Mindoro was a Mulching with fertilizer bags, i cut the bag open so its wider and make a hole in the center of the bag and a slit so you can slide it to the trunk .that's about 1meter square of mulch ,and put a good amount of dirt on 4 corners of mulch to keep it from the wind, the mulch will last a year or so before its rotten up

Do not use too much Glyphosate (herbicide ) grass helps hold the soil together, especially in the rainy season

Kumander i have been waiting this farm and i wanted to see it be successful. I think this idea of a what you are growing is a great idea and I want to see this turn out good.

You need to have the rain water get to the bottom of the hill without making the soil on top to soak in the rain and the soil soft and runny and slide down. Maybe stragically position rain water channels will help.

Mother Nature really is our enemy and we can’t do anything about that but prevention. I feel sorry for you but compared to other devastations, you’re still lucky and blessed. Take care always and stay safe and healthy Kumander D. 😊

From the picture only a portion was affected by sland slide. Just keep it up Commander. Business is a trial and error.

Best wishes from Aus mate remember when the going gets tough the tough get going.🍻

Hi Anselm! Sorry to see this setback on your farm. Appreciate your positivity, hope you, your family and your community get stay safe.

so sorry to see this. I hope you take it in stride and don't let it get you down. keep strong.

~ Well, the road is rocky and the hillside’s mud Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood ~

Time to hit Researchgate and see which crops deal with erosion the best. Hard to know what to do when the soil actually disappears like that though.

Stay Positive & Enjoy Life!👍

You need to plant bamboo on the edges of your farm in able to hold the valley/mountain sides of your farm and if your farm is near the river/lake/falls/ stream you bead to plant a mangroves on the edges in able to have a protection from storm, landslides & home for the fish or any mollusks species. Have a break and you will recover from natural disasters ❤

it is a 10 year cycle.... may not hit in the same area but a 'once in a decade' calamity occurs in the philippines.

I was born and graduated elementary in Mindanao. I came to the states when I was 12 with my family. Seasonal floods and earthquake is part of life. You learn to pick up the pieces and move forward. The resilience of the Pinoys is part of what makes the people humble and beautiful. Baha lang ka !!! Pinoy ta !!! Kaya nato ni !!! Arise !!! Bangon ta oy!!!

Laban lang KD.Praying this won't happen again

Ur being resilience will make u succeed in ur goal kumander.. Never give up just lear what life teaches u..

Maybe it will be a good idea to plant trees all over the place. Trees are known to hold the soil intact. Mango trees (the carabao mango variety) will be a good idea. At least you have 2 kinds of fruits to harvest in the same land.

Laban lang po, Kumander daot!

You should plant big trees in between the calamansi so that it will hold the water to avoid landslide...

What a land slide! We hope that you can recover soon from your losses.😥

I am sorry for your loss of land here. Staying strong.

How to make a small fortune investing in the Philippines. Invest a large fortune.

You plant mahogany tree there Kumander that’s the best. And they grow so easily you can harvest then after 10 years have a research on it

Try khus khus grass. It has very deep roots and animals dont eat it nor doesit ever get dry even in droughts.

I suggest that you & the community plant hard wood trees around the area.

Try planting some vetiver grass: they have deep roots

Ayos lang yan KD be strong Tuloy ang buhay

God bless you always keep up good works

Plant gemelina trees they grow fast and hold the soil.

Thanks

Wow what a slide for sure... I hope no more..

😢❤ Your Resilience is admirable in this devastating time... Proud of you Boyo...!

Seeing as the most rainfall came through the landslide, you should try to rebuild it with a trench formed in the same spot, to direct water through more effectively in the future with less damage

It's a good year for a Welshman it's the year of the dragon.

All the best Kumander D....stay safe 🙏

Anga oi...asa man ta ani....sa punong ug bangus bahaun...sa kamansian guhuon....matabuk ra natu ning mga pagsulay.....amping.

Tough luck KD. But what doesnt kill us makes us stronger. Just keep on fighting back...

Lemon Grass has deep root system so I could help strengthen the soil.

ingat lagi kumander, hope you recover.

That's a tough break. Yes, it's not a home or life, thankfully, but it's more than "just plants"; it's hours and hours of hard work, money and future income too. I admire your good attitude, and it is recoverable. Still, just sad to see, as is the devastation and losses of so many Mindanao locals. But, in a few years or even months, it will all be just a memory. Amping.

You plant fruit trees on the hills in order to hold soil from eroding.

What to do? VETIVER!! In Philippines it’s called Mora and it is used to keep hillsides stable.

I remember my father's story as a youngfarmer , their about to be harvested rice field was eaten ravaged by locust , he said he and his father cried❤❤❤

No skipping of ads to support KD

failure is a ladder on your success don' t give up

Praying for you and your family 🙏

Omg!!! Sorry to see that kd!

Plant vetiver grass has deeper roots. Will prevent erosion on the moutian side.

All is well kumander.....

Sir next time stick bamboo in ground to tighten ur soil, Veitnam use this same tecnique as foundation for thier homes

Take care

Kumander Gwapo, nice haircut! That's quite a dilemma you have, since the terrain is all fairly steep slopes. Just wondering if there's a way to retain the soil at the bottom to avoid having all the soil get washed away when these heavy rains come? Obviously, it's better to have a way to mitigate the rain damage at the top, if you can redirect the water away, or prevent it from flowing down the slopes with so much volume and force. However, you don't want to lose all the soil that does get washed downhill, especially after the earth has been loosened up by the earthquake and after-tremors. Glad it didn't turn out worse for you.

love your positive attitude kumander❤

Kumander don't plant bamboo close to your calamansi because bamboo has substance in its roots that suppress the growth of any plant surrounding it.

So sorry for the damages to your farm..

May the new year be good to us Kumander, may the dragon scrare away all the bad luck. :) Life goes on.

plant macadamia and pistacio and dates

Always Ride Safe Kumander..

Damn, so sorry!

I got the heart and you got the blood We cut through iron and we cut through mud Then came the warnin’ that was before the flood That set everybody free

Your cam quality is very nice KD! 👋😊

When I first saw your land, I immediately suspected that your land will be susceptible to landslides. Steep land with deep rooted trees removed and not rocky. So naturally, landslides will occur in times of heavy rain. But be strong and continue to persevere.

kawawa k an kumander,,, put some tress so that dnt irroad and replant again😥.. 👍💪💪🙏❤😉

KD, you're a poet and you didn't know it. But your feet show it. They're Longfellows! 9:33 In case you're not familiar with him, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was an American poet from the 1800s. He's probably best known for "Paul Revere's Ride" Not a favorite poem, or topic, in England, I'm sure.

.. Kumander., y'know, these are the outcome of the massive road building and development up in the highlands. continoous deforestation of the uplands 'til today.. i know you and kyle likes to feature all those progress., but then again., when do we stop? when and where do we find a balance? it has to cease somehow, soon., or the worse is yet to come., hopefully not, but when mother nature says so.. it shall be.. stay safe always, your one of the good guys, know that Sir!

Kanang area na nag landslide mahimo na nimong natural water way. For ur perimitter fence mas maayo ang kawayan bai. Aron pwede nimonh maharvest.

Let's just hope for better things to come tho it's quite sad Amping Kumander

Farmers are totally dependent upon the goodness of the Creator God.Farmers can do their part but the outcome is dependent on the Lord of the harvest.❤

With the continuous earthquakes.. we just can’t help but expect landslides and massive flooding. Hope this would end soon.
