Clarification: my comment does mean that many have the same experience at Hungry Surfer but that this type of incident tends to happen to both locals and visitors in various locations/establishments in the country. We all need to be alert. Meanwhile, to be fair, we don't have expansive basis that this could be the usual practice/SOP at THAT resto in Baler (I've been there, the buffet breakfast is value for money), it could be an isolated attempt or a one time slip up. Two sides to a story, right. But definitely, the vloggers would have no reason to make a call out if there was none, in that one instance, to them there was an observed deliberate anomaly.
George and Lucy hinestly at first i thought you are not authentic vloggers.but now i realised you are more filipino than me. I love you both. You really love our country! I have second thoughts about british people. But now i know its not about the race. Its about the personal preference of each and every hunan being.
We've been to Baler 4 times now and it's always awesome. We wanted to go more often but the drive from and back to Manila takes about 16-20 hours total which means it cant be a quick weekend getaway. I hope you visited the waterfall. Enjoy, you two.
Thanks again for taking us with your trip. If you’re going to Baguio, go to John hay and try the canopy walk as well. Stay safe and enjoy the trip. By the way, You guys might want to go to visit Whang Od in Buscalan, Kalinga and get yourselves a traditional ifugao tattoo.
Sad to hear you almost got scammed...it’s always a good thing to always, ALWAYS count your change/ money wherever you go, every time you pay for something..even if you are doing grocery shopping, check if they cashier is scanning your groceries twice so that you’ll end up paying more than you should...
You shouldn't apologize for something others did. It's not your fault. It's the establishment's fault. It happens all over asia. George and Lucy knows it. It's just one of those places. It's a good thing LG is helping by making us aware of places you should avoid.
The place or cashier probably thought "just another ignorant tourist" and they wouldnt count their change back. That kind of shady behavior is everywhere in the world.
Lots of things to do in Baler. Come back next time and hike to Ditumabo Waterfalls. Go up Ermita hill for some history, and it's a nice drone spot as well. Then for some local food - go for the native Suman (native sticky rice) in the market and look for Kusina Luntian near Sabang - real unique setup and food. Cheers! Btw Nov - March is peak surfing season, while around April-May it gets really crowded because of summer vacation.
That alley you walked after eating at bayler is lively at night.. lot’s happening here at night.. hang out at Charlie Does sometimes famous local bands play there.. and if you happen to go back here go to kahuna it’s beachfront resort and they offer surf lessons too there and acoustic live bands at night... kubli bistro is also a good place to hangout and eat
Did you know that the cult film "Apocalypse Now" was filmed in Baler and was the reason why surfing became popular there? That hanging bridge was even seen in the film.
All the food you ordered is making me hungry! Watching you from Muscat, Sultanate of Oman at 11:02PM as I write this and thank you for taking me home as I have not been there for yearsss!!!!!!! So thank you!!!
I am from Baler, left our place when i was young living here in California,, for the wrongdoings, dishonesty done by the few in behalf of other co townfolks from the bottom of my heart , i sincerely apologize ,,, hope that whoever happens to watch ur video living in our town have the nerve to report it to Baler local officials that it is not acceptable what they'd done to their visitors , tourists in our town,,, a big blow to the businesss thus our downfall to the eyes of people who wanted to visit our town today tomorrow and in the future ,, again to u guys,,, accept my apology,, from a native of Baler living here in California ...marami salamat po
George, I think that lizard jumped on your table purposely, it was trying to tell you and Lucy to walk away from that restaurant because they are scammers Lol.
guys if your heading to baguio, i recommend two delicious dishes that tou.must try there, first the soup called sinanglaw, theres a karinderia thats infront of microtel in that is selling that and also a dish called pigar pigar, there is a sizzling pigar pigar near mount crest hotel in legarda
Wow we are fortunate to see how wonderful the weather is in baler normally this season in every 3rd quarter of the year that place is battered with typhoon and hurricane
Thanks for visiting our town,, it is not battered ., we are on the pacific ,, means typhoon path,, and everyyear ...does not mean our place was devastated,,,even we are on that dangerous path, our place not often destroyed by typhoon hence the neighboring provinces and beyond,, though i did pray that hope our hometown and province be spared,,and the entire Philippines,, we're lucky though, than other places in pinas. that were devastated, rummaged ,destroyed by typhoon, but in Baler, the weather on the contrary is pleasant and nice,, remember we live on the other side of the highest Sierra Madre mountain, kinda separated from the entire lowlands in Pinas that when u travel goin to Baler ,u need to drive the long winding high and low mountains and hills bfor reaching Baler,, and in Baler it's different,sometimes even its summertime, always in the afternoon its raining, and one time visitors from other areas went to Baler with typhoon alert warning that it will pass Baler but that time they were surprised the weather was hot and nice,, kinda unusual but thats the reality,, though we are far from Manila,,, weather in our place is different,, rainy season and dry season sometimes not applicable,, but we native Balerino were used to it..marami salamat po
@@indiorendellinorendellino6517 really appreciate your response one of the go to place to visit with my colleagues go surfing lots of activities to choose from near the beach
OMG My favorite Filipino dish pork sinigang!🤤😍 and I think Baler is not underrated it's like Batanes also.. the local government don't advertise or promote the beauty of the place that much for preservation reasons or conservation i don't know how to explain it exactly but i'm pretty sure it's something like that.😊
My favorite place to escape to in the Philippines, it's Baler. Best thing there is the food. No fast-food resto, but amazing local restaurants. Friendly people, great places to roam around to for those breathtaking views. Enjoy your stay there guys. Cheers and God bless
Sorry that happened to you at the Hungry Surfer. It really pays to be vigilant! Didn't have a similar experience with the change when we dined there, fortunately. The service was okay, too. (Coincidentally, that is where I had this profile photo taken lol)
I've been in Baler too and I agree that this os one of the best places in the PH. Coming back in November to surf 😁 Try to check out Ragay and Sorsogon. These places are beautiful 😊
Since you guys are in Baler, maybe you could go visit Central Luzon State University, it's an hours drive from Baler to Science City of Munoz, Nueva Ecija. Try some CLSU made products like Fresh Buffalo Milk drinks with different flavors and other Buffalo Milk snacks, also Tilapia (Fish) Ice Cream and Tilapia Ice Cream Sandwich.
Hey guys...I strongly suggest that you go to Cebu then to the kawasan falls and oslob...we will wait for it...research on it from other vloggers you will get surprised...and you know what once we get home with my very pretty American caucasian wife from our office we tune in into our favorite vlogs like clockwork, it is like having to brush your teeth compulsarily routinely everyday it is already part of our lives and yours is on top...thanks keep on going..
Please Visit The Province Of BULACAN theres a lot of local tourist spot destination like ➡Tilapilon hills in DRT/Doña Remediis Trinidad Bulacan ➡Bitbit Bridge & Hilltop in Norzagaray Bulacan ➡ Biak Na Bato in San Miguel Bulacan ➡ Minalungao National Park in Nueva Ecija
I love your videos especially this George and Lucy. Keep showcasing unspoiled place like Baler, other parts of Aurora and other places here in Philippines. :) by the way, me and my former colleagues went there way back 2017 and it was remarkable :)
Surely some gyms in the country they don’t use AC and rely on air coming from outside. I usually do my routines then stay by the window for few minutes to get fresh air. If you notice sinigang is not the same in every part of the country 😀😀😀nice place indeed and nice vlog. Enjoy. Take care. 👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
George & Lucy, the lizard was telling you something that's going to happen. A kind of premonition. Be alert everywhere. It happened to me in Paris. I saw a big bug crawling on my bed. It was scary. I've never seen a bug like it. A few minutes later, we went to a restaurant nearby for breakfast, and on our way back to the hotel, cars stopped on the red light, we crossed the street in hurry but my foot fell into the hole. I could not get up. The traffic light turned to green for cars to go, it was a close call. Thank God a man came to help plus a pickpocketer tried to steal my money. It happened all in the same day. Lmao! I blamed it all to the bug that gave me the jinx. Actually, the bug is telling me to be careful. 😁
