I RETURNED TO THE PHILIPPINES VIA THE BACKDOOR!
Most people arrive in the Philippines by plane. But there's another option - a boat from Sabah, Malaysia going to some of the ports of Mindanao.
So I tried out a boat that has only been running for a few months - the M/V Ming Hai Express that travels between Tawau, Sabah, and Bongao, Tawi-Tawi!

@christopherturco197 8 месяцев назад

It is quite surprising to see how close Philippines and Malaysia really are. I never made the connection in my mind, however, seeing you do this trip brought it home for me. Close can be a such a relative term, but the fact that you can take a ferry between the two communities shows why there has been so much commerce and interaction between them. Salamat, Anselm, for this video.

Especially in earlier days, and if you look at what "belonged" to whom, it explains a lot of conflicts in the past. There is even one between Sandakan and Zamboanga, which would be even easier to travel, but they seem to have a bit of an inconsistent schedule. Too bad. A proper reliable ferry schedule that is more known to more people would be also interesting for tourists. Would strenghten the tourism in Zamboanga but also in Sabah, both have their unique locations that could be interesting to so many people.

@KumanderDaot 8 месяцев назад

@@i-am-your-conscience they are finally releasing the Zamboanga - Sandakan schedule a week ahead which is great. Before it was unreliable!

My Filipino clan is from Mindanao. The Sabah locals were so nice to my aunt a former resident as her husband worked in Malaysia. Your history sounds spot on. Yes, familial ties cross this border as well as other comment pointed out- also on the PH. Indo maritime border. Your International Malay language skills are also impressive sir. As a other comment pointed out, Indo is building new capital city Nusantara on Borneo. This ferry may get more business. Maybe you've seen FEATR Tawi Tawi episode? Maraming Salamat po. Liked and subscribed.

I worked in the mid-80s in Zamboanga, and people told me they sometimes travel by boat to work in Sabah. Also, smuggled goods from Malaysia and Indonesia are very common in Zamboanga.

Amazing review and points you have there Kumander ! Im from Tawau and currently in KL... ive long been observing and highly anticipating Tawau opening up its borders to Philipines, Indonesia and Oriental countries Etc etc... Fyi, lahad datu just officially opened its doors to makasar via ferry service. 2024 we will see China charter flights directly to tawau. Tawi-Tawi airport also grew healthily over the years... imagine many years ago it was just turboprop aircraft flying there... today the A320 flies to Tawi2... thats amazing. Thing will open up even more in the near future because indonesia is shifting their capital to kalimantan. that would be intersting... the "indonesian backdoor" route is equally amazing to explore !

@KumanderDaot 8 месяцев назад

Thanks Jonny! One day I'd also like to take the ferry from Tawau to Tarakan. Lahad Datu opening up as an international port is also exciting, Sulawesi in reach! The whole region is really changing rapidly and I'm very excited for its future.

@user-xy8ol7sj8v 8 месяцев назад

Many years ago Philippines wasn't allowed to export agriculture products. My parents had a boat that transport tons of lumber from Dinagat Island to Bohol and Cebu. Our boat is sometimes rented by the sugar exporter to drop load of sugars to Borneo which is now Brunei. Once it get to Borneo it's international freeport.

@randelldeoftennessee7359 8 месяцев назад

Wow, there was so much packed into this video, I don't even know how to comment. Pretty cool though, how you're following the history around, recently in the Sulu and then Malaysia; you're making the world smaller every day.

Pinoys are someone afraid of traveling to Sabah via the backdoor though it's somehow adventurous and thrilling. with kidnappings and terrorism most pinoys skip that beautiful route, learning the Muslim environment and culture of the people of tawi tawi makes us proud. Maybe someday most people from Manila try to travel to ur beautiful town craving for fresh seafoods ..shout-out to my country man of Bongao, only I've seen in Google maps nice place ❤

I’m from Tawi2x born in Palawan, I grew up in Tawi2x till my high school years. Went to coin ZC. I’ve been on vacation in Tawi2x for the past years, but never afraid of insurgents. You should experience traveling to that island and see for yourself. My husband has been to Tawi2x few times and he’s an American. He was not afraid of being kidnapped because he was we’ll taking care of. So nothing to worry.

Your adventures went on to next level Kumander! I'm really amazed and envious I really want to go to Sulu, Tawi-Tawi and Sabah because of what I've seen on your adventures. It feels like our origin came into this back door. Almost everything food, culture and people looks like us. I wonder If we are not colonized by Spain then we will not be called Filipino.

Sulu Sultanate the true owner of sabah.

@abdulwahidmdtahir3660 7 месяцев назад

@Splashmesplash, Sulu only claimed that Sabah was given by Brunei to Sulu as a gift for purportedly helping Brunei fight rebels. But Brunei refuted this claim and denied ever having given Sabah to Sulu. There was NO DOCUMENT regarding the transfer of ownership of Sabah from Brunei to Sulu signed by both Sultans.

@abdulwahidmdtahir3660 6 месяцев назад

@user-pt1rw4sx6t , "...why in French Court..."? Firstly why did you ask this question in this thread when the TS didn't say anything about the court proceedings in Paris, and so didn't I. But since you had asked, I will answer. Why in French Court? You have to ask that question to the eight individuals who claim to be heirs of former Sultan of Sulu. They were the ones who brought their claim case, first in Madrid Court. Then when they lost in Madrid, they hopped to Paris and put up their case in Paris Court, and they won. But when the case was brought up to the Paris Court of Appeal, they lost and failed to get the US$14.92B compensation. Instead Sulu has to pay Malaysia €100,000 as legal cost imposed by Paris Court of Appeal.

@abdulwahidmdtahir3660 6 месяцев назад

@user-pt1rw4sx6t , "...most reliable source..."? No matter where the court is, the court doesn't produce any evidence even though the host country of the court has the records of the history which you said more reliable. It is not the duty of the court to provide evidences. It was the claimants (plaintif) and defendant job to provide evidences in favour to them and the court will decide whose evidences are stronger, true and can be accepted. The one with stronger, true and acceptable evidences will win the case. And there was no mystery in the case when Malaysia won and Sulu lost. All you have to do is do more research and reading. Don't depend on Philippine's media, they only report and highlight overwhelmingly the news when Sulu won but silent when Sulu lost.

Sakto! Mindanaoans, people of Mindanao region, 2nd largest island of Philippines, are muslim loving people. This path will greatly boost economies of austronesian countries by sharing same beliefs and religion. Catholic and Muslim indifference in our country barely creates conflict. We utterly respect religions since we are a hub of different cultures - Spanish, Chinese, American, Austronesian, SEAsians and even Japanese. These all are products of impearialism and globalization, which unfortunately is the sad reality. Anyways, we have special holidays for Muslims too especially Ramadan.
