Siargao, Philippines - Siargao turned out to be one of my favorite islands in The Philippines, and there are so many incredible things to do in Siargao - hence why it is becoming one of the most popular destinations in The Philippines.
Beyond all the great things to do in Siargao, there is something that I can't overlook - the amount of garbage and pollution in and around the ocean in The Philippines is a very serious problem. It is also a serious problem throughout the world.
This is my Philippines vlog from my day with The Sun Crew in Siargao as they attempt to change the course of history for the better.

TRAVEL DEEPER.
Siargao, Philippines - Siargao Island is becoming one of the most popular travel destinations in The Philippines. Along with Boracay and Palawan, Siargao is a popular Philippines travel island because of their famous surf breaks and laidback atmosphere.
I'm not a very good surfer, so instead, I decided to eat my way around General Luna in between all the things to do in Siargao.
This is a list of my favorite places to eat in Siargao - From smoothies at Shaka and tacos at Miguel's to Pizza at Kermit and grilled fish at Mama's Grill.
Enjoy!

@stevediazfrench6912 5 лет назад

I am not sure if many people has the geographical orientation of Siargao. Although it is easy to think that locals may be disposing their garbages irresponsibly, we also need to consider where Siargao is located in the Philippine map. This part of the Philippines is facing the Pacific ocean. The locals can clean everyday and remove all the plastics you can see. However, when typhoon season comes (about an average of 30/yr) the garbage may return, coming from the Pacific garbages that all other countries are responsible for. On the other hand, great video that contributes to social responsibility!

@forster5392 5 лет назад

@@taichitanian Talking about sources of plastics, have you any idea that for the past few years the so called developed western nations are dumping containers by containers of uncycled plastics into South East Asian nations? The Philippines president, Mr. Duterte has just announced that if Canada is not taking back these rubbish plastics they shipped to Philippines, he personally will send them back to Canada. "WE will declare war!", this is what he said to Canada.

@PhillipCowell01 4 года назад

@@forster5392 They're not 'dumping' it, they pay countries to take it off their hands. No Western country on the planet just 'dumps' its garbage - plastic or otherwise - on developing countries. And the vast majority of the plastic you see on SEA beaches comes from the local community. Thailand is appalling, and thank god that they have just banned plastic bags.

@forster5392 4 года назад

@@PhillipCowell01 That's precisely my point. Why can't the West take care of their own rubbish instead of using their filthy money to export (should I use dump) their rubbish to those poor countries that can't even take care of their own rubbish?

@gramo63 5 лет назад

+Dennis -- The problem is NOT people throwing garbage carelessly. The problem is LACK OF GARBAGE CONTAINERS. The entire country has few, if any, garbage containers, where people can throw their garbage. Are there garbage containers on street corners? NO. Are there garbage containers on beaches? NO. Are there garbage trucks collecting garbage? NO, because there are no garbage containers on the streets. In Siargao, we see schoolchildren collecing garbage and putting them into empty rice sacks. Why don't they empty the sacks into garbage containers? Because there are NO garbage containers in the first place. The Mayor should provide garbage containers, so the tourists have a place to throw their empty bags, bottles and wrappers.

I just discovered your channel, and its pretty great. I've been living here in the Philippines for about a year now, and litter is definitely a problem, and like you said not just here but also worldwide. It's interesting you showed the point based system they have in Siargao, it actually reminds me of the "social credit system" they have in parts of China now. My wife and I could see it being implemented here in the PH in the future. Dueterte has already shown that he will shut down an entire island just to preserve the beauty of what they have here. We haven't been to Siargao (yet) =) ,but El Nido was starting to get pretty bad when we were there back in November. Anyways keep it up, and thanks for the upload.

You always smiling because of what you're seeing/experiencing... Love that. The initiative for the kids, the people cleaning up the beaches/their beach must be shown more, not just around the Philippines, but around the world. The Philippines is truly a paradise. The people make it even so! In your video, the kids are smiling, happy even though they're about to work/cleanup. I love that they're being rewarded for their efforts. I hope this continue over and over. I hope the next generation of kids will continue this effort. I hope organizations in the Philippines and around the world will see this video and pitch in to help. Thank you for this video. I can watch this again and again. Love the Filipino attitude.

I am from Taiwan, and we have very good garbage disposal system in Taiwan. What I found the problem in the philippines are: 1. People need to be educated about garbage disposal 2. This country needs proper recycling plans and whoever who can recycle it properly. 3. People dump the garbage everywhere because they can't afford to deliver it to recycling center. It's not only environmental problems, but also a social problem that everyone in this country is involved in. Get a chance to visit Mactan. You will see how people do business there but they don't even care about this Island is buried with garbage.

Kuan chung Ting you're right about that, i am new here in Taiwan and i can see how the garbage/trash/waste being handle thru recycling and proper disposal. back in my hometown in Davao City, i always informed neighbors for proper disposal, and yes they stopped littering but it's hard for them to segregate...

I guess very little of the garbage on the beach was actually left at the beach by someone. The mess comes from the ocean - the plastic waste is brought to the ocean in rivers or even dumped to the ocean directly in some places and it's then washed ashore. The solution is not to make people clean the beaches and collect and ENDLESS stream of plastic waste but to limit the amount of plastic in general. What seemed like contradicting piece in the video was that at the end the kids were drinking from disposable plastic cups. 2dcl of water that will keep one hydrated for a couple hours but will create waste that'll stick around for centuries...

On the vlog itself, I love all the scenes showing all the smiling kids! Absolute joy in all their faces! I think this is one of my favorite among your Philippine series, Gareth. And yes, the problem about garbage (plastic and all) in the ocean is a world wide concern. Picking them up from the beaches and recycling aren't enough solution. People should learn to avoid using plastic as much as possible. There are a lot of alternatives and people have choices that they can make that suits their lifestyle.

There are trash piles all over any populated areas of the Philippines, cities, small barangays... where there are people there is trash.. even inland, where there is NO SEA. So explain to me how, exactly, the trash in that country is not their trash? If it's our trash washed ashore as you say, how does it get miles inland? I lived there for a year, I have first hand experience with the conditions there and the peoples attitudes towards littering there. Every day, countless dozens of times each day I watched Pinoy just discard their waste right where they were standing. Finished eating a bag of chips, throw the plastic bag on the ground right then and there. Finished drinking a Coca-Cola, throw the bottle on the ground...

Oh please, don't include us Visayans from you tagalog people. Your stupidity is endless. It's unfair to say that Filipinos are undisciplined when it comes to trash, but in reality, Manila and its surrounding cities are the biggest contributors of the country's garbage problem. Your garbage collection is very unsystematic and chaotic. While you tagalogs are contributing to the problem, Visayas and Mindanao are investing in waste-to-energy (WTE) facilities, with Lapu-lapu City and Cebu City to be the first cities to own these facilities in the country. Davao City is also purchasing its first WTE facility next year. It is very sad to be under the same flag with these shameful tagalogs.

@@allzkolokoy8864 I'm from Mindanao myself and I get your point but there is no need to be rude tho. The problem isn't with the tagalogs. It's with the human race itself. Humans have been destroying our planet since the a long time ago. At least the newer generation is doing their efforts for the betterment of the environment. Stop the hate rather start spreading love and peace

I love this video.. Little things matter the most... I really do hope that there will be an improvement in our garbage situation here in the Philippines. We have been blessed to live in a country that is filled with natural beauty but most of us are taking things for granted. All of us should make the first step to make our environment clean, safe and healthy. You showed us what we can do to help. Thank you for making this video and welcome to Pearl of the Orient Seas, Philippines! Take care always!

Thank you Gareth for exposing how irresponsible most people and the government. Anywhere you go in the Philippines, most people do not look for GARBAGE CANS to throw their trash. And the government officials have responsibilities to clean the environment too. Protect the environment by enforcing a law, "PHP Fine for littering." Government should also hire manual labor and invest on machinery to pick up the trash. Invest on human waste treatment plant. One way to be rich in the Philippines is to become government officials by putting the taxpayers' money into their pocket and ignore the environment. Have these officials all over the Philippines learned something about the closure of cesspool Boracay beach? The government should spend money for cesspool and trash to protect the environment, and the people have a role to find garbage cans to maintain clean environment. We all know that MOST Filipino officials are corrupt. Do we want also to be called or labeled "TRASHY FILIPINOS"?

Peter T government can only do so much. The current government has been doing whatever they can to fix and clean whatever they can. But we cant expect government to do everything for us. Cleaning such places shouldnt be anyones problem if human itself will do them-self a favour and throw their waste in a proper bin or better yet reduce the use of plastic waste coz those garbage arent done by local and tourist alone but also from other place/country.

@MsNightingale02 5 лет назад

The fuck are you talking about. Why do you have to rely on the government. Are you saying the government should clean up the trash? Well about you people? You got hands and a well-healthy body, can't you help pick up some trash and organize a community activity that would let them cooperate on cleaning up as well. You don't have to always rely on the government and well. You need to do action as an educated citizen as well.

Environmental awareness and conservation starts early, and nothing is more beautiful than the young ones getting into the trenches--so to speak--to clean up the beauteous beaches of the country! The man who started this project is a hero, and so are the kids! They should be encouraged and supported.

Hey Gareth good job on highlighting Siargao's future generation taking the front row in cleaning up the environment, the beaches particularly. I couldn't help but notice how, several times in the video, you call the coconut trees as "palm trees". The Philippines is a huge coconut tree real estate. Enough said. Thanks for such amazing videos and an amazing vlogger.
