Our BOAT BROKE in the MIDDLE of the OCEAN!!! Dinagat Islands » Surigao City » Mindanao 

I’m glad you are safe guys. Thank you for sharing this. I learned something that its very important to keep our calm if ever there’s an emergency situation.

big respect sa captain and the crew kay they made sure safe mga pasahero nila. Ang titibay ng crew kahit in danger rin sila pero they remain composed para di mag panic mga pasahero, and that one part that they even handed over small pockets of plastic for the gadgets to keep it dry just in case. Again salute to the captain and crew, God bless po and sa lahat ng on board sa vessel that time.

Imagine how scary this is. I mean even though the worst case scenario didnt come, but the thought that it might come after seeing the side being damage and break is really scary. Plus you can feel that the crews panicking as well. This is such a traumatic experience indeed

I also got traumatized with boats, even big boats. One time from Cebu to Leyte, the waves were massive. We all noticed the water started coming in. I cried because I thought we were gonna die. That was a fastcraft. The captain decided to maneuver and went into the opposite direction. The sea calmed down and it was such a relief. Now, I no longer travel beyond 9am to evening. I always make sure to travel around 5am if there is any schedule just to make sure the sea is calmer. Glad you are safe! I was having panic watching this.

I’ve ridden these boats crossing Surigao city and Dinagat islands several times. I’m really amazed how pilots of these pump boats surf the high waves by throttling the boat’s engines when it is needed to ride the waves - similar to drifting your car in low gear and recover acceleration. However, everyone should learn how to swim just in case.

Salute to the crew and captain. Bilang isang taga isla at may bangka din kami dati. Medyo mahina pa ang ang waves na yon para sa amin sanay sa dagat.. Ang msasabi ko lang ay di nila na anticipate na ganun pala impact ng pagpapatakbo nila thru waves plus akala nila solid pa yong katig ng bangka. Almost all the time pag ganyan alon ay nilalaro lang namin ang selinyador ng bangko dpende sa alon.

Delikado po talaga dyan na part na yan between surigao and dinagat. Kung pansin nyo po nong nasa vicinity pa kayo ng dinagat di masyadong malaki yong alon pero pagkalabas na pagkalabas sa dinagat sa may open sea malalaki na yong alon. Mostly dyan na didisgrasya yong mga bangka papuntang mainland. Madalas din dyan yong maliit na whirlpool. Magtataka ka na lang din kung bakit aabot minsan ng 2hrs yong byahe kahit na 1hr or 1&1/2 lang dapat. Kahit nga walang sama ng panahon pagdating talaga ng hapon malalaki na alon dyan banda.

Grabeng experience po yan. Big salute sa Captain & Crew na binalance yung bangka. Very alert rin sa mga susunod na mangyayari. Good thing hindi kayo masyadong madami sa boat. Praise God 👏🏻 🙌🏻 hindi nangyari yung worst case scenario.

Salute to those crews and pilot of the boat they still calm and responsible for their passengers... Good Job.

I'm from surigao city, I have experienced like that and men I never travelled by boat again to any islands around my place. It was scary like I could call all the saints to protect us, and watching this vlog makes me more scared to ride a boat. The ocean you're cruising is very dangerous since is has a big whirlpool, but luckily is not forming there while you are travelling.

Ang swerte nyo po kasi bihira lang po sa ganyang delikadong situation na halos lahat kayong magkakasama eh, "well coordinated, kalmado, at ang bilis ng initiative"

When the crew asked “everyone knows how to swim right?” 😮 I die😅 thankfully you guys are ok

Magaling din yung Captain ng boat kasi mapapansin mo kahit sira na yung side nung boat niya hindi lumubog, why? dahil imbis na mag side siya sa waves. Sinalubong niya yung waves para hindi mag out of balance yung boat niyo. May tito also have that kind of boat here in bicol and nasa captain yan kung papalubugin niya yung boat or gagawa siya ng paraan para masave yung mga pasahero niya. Well super galing nung captain niyo nakakatuwa kasi yung ibang captain ng boat sa sobrang kabado nakakalimutan nilang hawak nila buhay ng mga pasahero niya kaya yung iba nalulubog. Big Salute sa Captain tsaka sa mga crew. Yung side ng boat panangga raw yun sa waves sabi nung tito ko tsaka dapat naka balance yung mga pasahero hindi yung nasa isang side lang may possibility na mas lalong tumagilid yung bangka. But Thank god nakaraos kayong lahat❤️❤️❤️

This is a crazy experience, Good thing your safe guys. Ive been watching you since day one, Have a safe trip always ❤

Amazing what the waves can do. Glad you guys are safe. Thanks for the quick thinking crews and captain.

Good job sa boat crew na alam ang abandon ship procedure. Two factor ang pagka damage ng boat structure, 1. Is weather, 2. May inital damage na sa left wing stability niya before mangyari ang incident Thank God na okay kayo

It's a relief to find out that all on that boat are safe. Praise God that you made it safely, and I agree that may this be a reminder to boat operators to ensure that their boats are sturdy and good to ferry people between islands even in weathers like this

God is wacthing! lagi lang po tayong Manalig kay lord, hindi nya tayo pababayaan, keepsafe always lods, done wacthing!

Great job by captain and crew . What a quick and calm response by them to alert Coast guard, marine officials and calm down passengers while preparing them to abandon ship if need be.

Praise God you are all safe.. saw this on tiktok.. God still has a purpose. Everything you do, just always pray..

Saludo sa mga crew ❤️❤️ pati na din sa aptain at sa inyong passangers na marunong makisama. Takot lahat pero pinilit maging kalmado para mas magawan ng paraan. ❤️❤️ Salamat YHWH at ligtas po silang lahat.

Tears of joy. Its ok to cry. You two look wonderful. God bless you.

First one who came here because of the Instagram video! Thank God you're both safe 😌

Thank you, God for this miracle. I am so happy you are safe. Even though I knew you had to be okay because the video made it, my hands are still shaking. Take care.

God was watching over you guys🙏🏽 thank God you guys made it safe hands up to your captain and the rest of the crew you can tell they are prepare just in case something worse happen. It’s also good that you guys have life jacket ready.

I'm still crying too watching this😢😢😢 thanks God you landed safe

In this vedio I noticed that communication is very important.So before boarding make sure that your celphn is fully charged and of course with load. It can really help asking HELP from somewhere in case of something unusual happens. Just like this vedio. Thank you so much for uploading this vedio because it gaves us more and wise idea on what to bring and what to do in circumstances like this. Thanks GOD your all safe. GOD BLESS US ALL.

That is disadvantage of a vessel made of fiber glass as against the wooden hull. The former easily broke as against latter, especially if the wood is seasoned. Anyway, that is another experimce that you will never forget.

Thanks be to God you're all safe. I'm from that place, San Jose. I knew that boat at kahit taga Isla ako, natatakot pa rin talaga ako everytime pupunta ako sa Surigao City. Lalo't tulad sa mga pagkakataon na malalaki ang alon. Naalala ko dati during my college days going sa Surigao City, abot langit ang dasal ko kapag wavy ang dagat. Buti these time, may roro na diyan, fast craft, at lantsa.

Thank God you are safe and safely arrived. I saw it on tiktok and it really made me worry and cry.

Kahit 1year ng nkalipas ngayon kulang to napanood...subrang kinabahan ako at 😢😢iyak parin ako...kasi lagi ako sumasakay lagi kasama ko ang aking mga magulang....kaya diko alam kong paano kong nagkakataon na isa kaming pasahiro jan....thanks lord na ligtas tahat❤❤❤❤❤

Big salute to the crew and captain ..ill definetly give them all hug

You ladies are wonderful! Such bright spirits. Love your videos :D

Pag mga ganitong scenario ito lang ang sinasabi ko sa aking sarili, "Ang mga bangka ay ginawa para lumutang." But never ever underestimate the Sea kasi kung nasa gitna tayo ng kawalan, tayo ay mistulang tuldok lang. Thanks God kasi hindi niya kayo pinabayaan. Hindi naman talaga niya tayo pababayaan sa mga ganitong sitwasyo. God keeps us safe as always. 😇🙌🙏

*That was really great to see and feel the sense of relief when the tidal waves calmed down, that reminded me of my boat trip to Batangas from Puerto Galera but it wasn't that scary and life threatening.*

That’s my greatest fear of riding a boat when suddenly big waves come and thinking I don’t know how to swim. Really advantage to learn. Thankful everyone is safe🙏

Researching for DIY Dinagat got me to your page. And of course I have to see this video 🙈 what scared me about this was the boat crew were giving out plastics and though they're trying to be calm they're on full alert mode already. I've been in big and small boats that faced huge waves as well, but my thought was always look at the boat men---as long as they're smiling, chit chatting while the boat rocks, I can keep my cool and just fight off the nausea. So this was...whew! I would have cried buckets as well. #lightandlove 🌞 you lived to tell the tale and wonders of Dinagat! 🍻

Oh my, that was intense. Not to mention you were in the middle of nowhere. Thank God you're all safe 🙏

Thank god you guys are safe💖 And thankyou for sharing your expirience

I've had experience worst than these that nearly cost our lives crossing the waters of Bucas Grande to mainland Surigao Sur. Every surigaonon knew that it's risky to cross Surigao waters in the afternoon but still were so stupid to get back on mainland. Learned from experience it could save your life, travel in the early morning when in Surigao waters. Never afternoon.

So happy to see you girls arrive you destination. Yes scary feeling when in ruff seas, I too experienced that travelling from cebu to ormoc, lived to tell the story

Omg mam.. naiyak aq s mga pangyyri, nananalngin na mging safety kau makadaong...thanks god safety po kau lhat..thanks god dn ky captain at sa mga staff ng boat, , ginwa nya ang da best...THANK YOU GOD .

Here is some tips, if you want travel everywhere. Never forget to pray, calm and trust to the Lord always. Keep safe Brethren

Thank God y’all are safe. Thanks for sharing ❤

Good job to the crew and capt.. i even cried watching it.GOD is good all the time. I miss siargao san isidro where i was born.hope to be there next month..

Well done to the crew, they look like they well trained

Kudos sa kapitan kahit sa lakas ng alon nabalian pa ng rigger o katig sa bisaya nakarating pa sa pier ng ligtas. Sa mga crew din control ang sarili kahit medyu may panic.

Hello watching oh nkakatakot but God save all hello guy's 👋 thank for sharing..God bless 🙏❤️new friend

OMG I will feel the same too. That was scary :( Glad you are all safe!!!!

Nakakatakot naman yan Idol.. Thanks God OK kayo lahat... thanks for sharing your experience!

Wow crazy experience!! I do a RU-vid show called boating news of the week would you mind if I used about 30-45 seconds of footage from this video tell a little bit about and then refer my viewer to check out the full video over here?

That is pretty terrifying, I’m sorry you all went through that. Thank god you were all safe. You’ll need a counselor to help you gain trust on boats again. I. Sure you’ll all be okay. Also thank god for the calm ones.🙏🏼

Twice ko na pinanood, twice din akong naiyak. Thank you Lord for keeping them safe.

Thanks God you're okay .. I am a resident of Dinagat Islands. I just watched the actual video.. it's really scary. I hope you are not afraid to return to Dinagat Islands. ❤️

nakakanerbyos tlaga . may phobia na din ako sa dagat mga sissy. Thank God at okay kayong lahat

Glad, you're all okay and fine 😊♥️ I'm from Dinagat Islands (San Jose) narinig Namin Ang nangyari and we are all shocked, luckily walang masamang nangyari sa inyu ♥️♥️

Thank god you are all safe. That particular stretch of water is known for fast currents. Espically when wind is against the tide. God and your Angel's were with you all that day. 🙏

I also experienced going to Dinagat but it was summer time which was March 2019 but the sea was so calm during that time. They say that waves are so big on that area during Amihan season starting September of the year. Thank God both of you went home safely. 🙏🙏🙏 I also cried at the end of the video. 😂😭🤗

It's an outrigger, the side pontoons are there just to keep the boat balanced, the captain did a great job pointing the damaged side towards incoming waves, preventing the boat from capsizing.

sana lahat ng vlogs ganito, straigh to the point and no chechebureche.. thank God safe kayo nakarating. more power po

I am so glad and joyful to see and hear that you gave praise to God!

thank you for your experience 🙏

Wow Buti at nakarating kayo Ng ligtas..Isang panibagong karagdagang karanasan na Hindi mo malilimutan..

Salamat mga idol galing tama yan, wow galing nyo.

I have been in situations like this and that sense of relief is so wonderful and papalable.

this brought back memories. 😵‍💫 happened to us also in davao oriental in a small bangka. panic was minimal though because we were all alcoholed up. afterwards after sobering up and then thinking about it, we realized how dangerous the situation really was because we had no life jackets nor any safety equipment in that rickety old outrigger.

I'm glad u r all safe! ❤

Great boat builder skills truly superp

Dont worry I think they trained for that scenario The Best thing you make is Keep calm and Balance the Boat All will be safe

Siguro kahit mawala iyon for as long as balanse lamang ang mga nagasakay ma okay pa ghapon and as long as wala tubig nga musuwod mismo sa boat that would cause it to submerged... I experienced something like that when I boarded a ferry boat to cross Matnog, Sorsogon to Allen, Northern Samar and the last one.was on a fast craft from Cebu to Ormoc City.
