Leaving American Stress Behind in Philippines 🇵🇭 Daily Life in Bohol 

The good thing in the Philippines is that the locals speak English, even the young kids. And they are very friendly, too.

I just got back from Leyte. The WHOLE trip was stress free and relaxing. The moment I landed at L.A.X. for a transfer flight back to Texas, I immediately felt the stress. First off, L.A.X is a nightmare to navigate. Secondly, the people were not friendly, from the workers to the flyers. No one was smiling and greeting each other. Twelve years till I retire. I am counting the days!

Life is so much better when everyone is just so welcoming and compassionate. Stay Blessed Brahdah!

*_kuya Jonathan is one of the kindest American here in the PH! stay safe always kuya J..._*

What makes these videos so special and enjoyable is the interactions with the locals and being out away from all the touristy areas. How many times do you need to watch videos of the same mall, over priced resort, 5* hotels, etc. and no interaction with the people, I've seen it once, don't need to see it again. But these videos it's always something new and the people you meet and actually talk to are what make these great. Thanks for showing us the real world side of Philippines, not just tourist hot spots, and the friendliness of the people.

Nothing more relaxing than hanging out in the Philippines 🇵🇭

you have a kind soul! showing the very sense of humanity!❤

My gf is a filipina andd her sister lives in bohol tagbilaran. Ive beencto panglao twice (stayed at the alona swiss resort which i highly recommend) and ive been around many places in the philipines and Bohol is probably my favorite region. Its a cozy island and the people were very nice.

After living in Japan, China, UK for many years and visiting many other countries I have realized that while in the US you may have a bigger house, a bigger salary, a better university, in other countries even for average people the food most people eat everyday is better (and cheaper), the fun they have every weekend is better (and safer), the cities they live in are better (and more bustling), the history/culture they experience is better (and more interesting), and the women they see everyday are prettier (and well mannered). The US has positives too (great outdoors, work opportunities, diverse, friendly people) but the truth is I guess we are rather boring haha. I certainly can understand anyone who decides to live outside the US. Enjoy life where ever you are!

I love that you are exploring Bohol with us watching you do it. I am so happy that you are enjoying the Philippine treasures. ❤️❤️❤️

Man I can't say it enough Jonathan I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! I'm 9 years away from retirement and my plan is to go home to Manila to live 6 months out of the year. You've brought me so much Joy with your videos and I always look forward to your next and next and next videos. Thank you for helping me to enjoy my home country while I am away from it.

loved this :) I love the generosity and the experience. This exactly what I want to do some day, drive around, chat with the locals and buy food from stands to share (helping the vendor and the locals both).

It's really great when You accidentally find a phenomenal non-tourist spot. Foreigner tourist can be a bit obnoxiously loud.

I was born in Bohol and l will assure you to all foreign and local visitors hospitality and caring of these people are. Enjoy to the fullest. Thanks.

Its really good to go around and talk to people randomly!👍🇵🇭🇧🇭

i also really hope the locals know how much your videos help there business

Thank you Jonathan for showing us Philippines and always being kind to Filipinos ❤️

Love the way you communicate with the locals . And be friendly to each of them. God blessed and stay safe and have fun.

That's pretty cool that you could buy halo halo for all of those people and it was still less than $10

Out of all the foreign vloggers, You are very genuine with the people and respectful our culture. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

youre so genuine man!!! thanks for visiting Philippines!!!

You are so good to the locals ❤

Another great one ! Thanks Johnathan !

Welcome Back Jonathan. Enjoy brother.

I love this, just shows there are really nice places to find off the beaten path and away from the average tourist area. I think a lot of people would like to talk to the people and enjoy their company so it is nice to get a good idea of places to visit.

You're a kind person. May our Lord Jesus Christ bless you always ❤❤❤❤

You make the best videos of the Philippines and your experiences there. You are my favorite blogger !

You're making me miss Philippines. I must go back. I've also been to Bohol many times. It's basically my favourite spot.

My wife and I also love traveling around the quiet side roads of Panglao. Never been to that area near Bikini Beach though. That Bobo Cafe looked interesting. I love all of the Philippines but Bohol is my ideal Philippine island. Perfect combination of everything.

Just a bite of halo-halo will quickly put you in a de-stress mood. Those family owned resorts away from the touristy spots are highly enjoyable, great finds Johnathan.

You got that right! I am so envious you got to visit Philippines! 😍 And I love how you try different foods/snacks....

Awee So generous JO! Amping.

another great video lets go!!! i hope your ankle is doing better

I love your videos man I just get relaxed watching them. I’m a big fan of yours. From Missouri

Hi Jonathan, enjoy watching your videos and supporting your channel. Keep up your positive vibes & kindness. Whenever I’m off duty my friends and I we’ll travel to Asia and have the best of time. Our last visit was Bohol Alona beach beautiful beach, people were friendly and we had lots of fun. Miss the beautiful beaches and Red Horse (smile) we visit around Asia every chance off duty we get (smile). May God bless, guide and protect you throughout your life. From USA

Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I cannot believe how beautiful the young lady at 20:40 is... she can defeat my whole city with her natural look and kind attitude. Philippines is definitely on my list of travels with my lovely wife next year!

Almost as good as a 'cooking with Anne' vid. Great job.👍👍

Thanks for showing the "real" Philippines, especially in the "rural" areas. I will visit JUSH resort one of these days.❤

Ahhh that just sums up one of the things I ❤ about being back home in the Philippines. The impromptu gatherings and just the laid back lifestyle. The halo halo is great too, of course!

great upload keep tubing

Great Vid .. We need more of Anne with you

You did the local economy a great favor that day! 😊

Thank you for staying in the Philippines longer

More blessings and keep safe always ❤❤❤

Coming in November, might be a good spot to hang out a few days

Checked out Pearl resort yesterday. Nice place to relax and chill. Been living in Dao for the last 12 months and did not know this place existed! Cheers for the video

Hey sir jonathan . Thank you for sharing this video and am anticipating more videos in the Philippines to come ..enjoy your stay cation while do vlogging and mingling with the locals here especially in Bohol..you can do anyhing relax and enjoy and stay safe while roaming around ..do you know what that if you are humble people will love you more. From Philippines new subscriber and follower here.

The staff was so respectful OMG. I'll see you soon my Brahdah looking to arrive in November when it is cooler. My family was from Siquejor but I have never been there.

I Love Halo-Halo‼️..Enjoy

Nice ...nata de coco the white one is coconut jelly there is another one main ingredient of Halo- halo is sugar palm we called it here kaong. Halo -halo is really refreshing dessert in this extremely hot summer even we are in transition period already summer to rainy season. Anyway take care.

Very good sir! I'm glad you are picking up more Bisaya language. I love the non tourist areas of Bohol. The prices are lower, the people are friendlier, and there are many more unexpected wonders to discover. Thank you for showing us this. There is so much more to Bohol than Alona Beach. I retire to north of Sagbayan in July. I have a nice house there my Filipina wife built for us. Why don't you give us a video of the more common Bisaya phrases you have learned? It would be very helpful to many of us. I see how with just a few local greetings and thank short phrases, you become more than just another tourist to them.

Nice accommodation 😍

Jonathan another great vid and live Panglao 😊 The resort at bikini beach looks awesome and one I must remember 😊

That was quick- it’s quick quick 🤩

Awesome halo halo party

you communicate with them well

Good life! Hoping to do it one day.

Please make more videos!!! ♥️

Tnks for sharing n' showing what's the places look like! I enjoyed watching ! For me it's not easy for us to visit those places coz we don't have enough financial to spend for touring places like that! Waiting for another beautiful vlog bro! Stay safe Good bless!

The street where u turned used to be where the old bougainvillea restaurant is located. Damn missin Dauis. Can’t wait to get back home.

Keep safe and god bless❤

We were living before in Bool District , Tagbilaran City , near the blood compact Sir Jonathan.

I want some halohalo too, Jonathan 😋. You're very kind 😇 to those people, buying them halohalo, salamat 😋 kaayo. Stay safe Jon and God bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️ ♥️

I don't think I could want halo halo more than I do right now. Thanks Jonathan.

Never been in Bohol and thank you for sharing this video 🙏
