Thank you for visiting my country. If you can visit the Philippines again before Christmas so that you can experience how the Filipinos celebrate Christmas and New Year.
Hi, actually the Philippines is among the most underrated tourist destinations when it comes to traveling in Asia and South East Asia region but nowadays tourists/travelers like you appreciate and admire especially the unique natural beauty of the country as compared to its neighboring country which are more popular destinations to the tourists. Enjoy the Philippines guys😊😊😊
Amazing country full of natural beauty from beautiful pristine beaches, mountains, waterfalls, fantastic cities which everyone enjoys and most of all the friendly and hospitable Filipinos you will receive throughout your stay....oh not forgetting the karaoke they enjoy 😊
Just got back from 2 months in Phil. Dove all over the planet, some of the most remote and exotic. And everything I went for is all here in the Philippines. Also, on land, so much to explore you could make youtube videos for years. Highly highly underrated.

thanks for appreciating the gem of asia tge Philippines. our country boasts the best beaches incomparable yet undiscovered by foreign tourists. thanks to all vloggers who made the philippines known to the world as the ultimate destination
Hello! New subscriber to your channel. Loved the shots you made; they were spectacular! I am glad to see you enjoyed your stay in the Philippines. Your channel would surely help Philippine tourism because of your genuine sincerity and love for the country and its people. Thank you!
I'm glad you pointed out the dead corals and its causes. I feel very fortunate to see live very colorful corals 20 feet from shore of a small island off Mindoro Island in late 90s. I was so amazed on seeing all the colors underneath the sea the first time I saw it. Today, I feel so sad whenever I see bleached corals featured by many ytubers in videos taken from different parts of the country. I hope future generations would realize the difference between live and dead corals. Nobody seem to care anymore.
We share the same memories of those stunning corals of Puerto Galera Mindoro back when it wasnt spoilt. I was so fortunate to see it. Those were unforgettable memories. So otherworldly beautiful back then.
you were right The Philippines needs to be known too.. Got the best islands and friendly locals.. Planning to go back in Siargao Island and Cebu on September.. Prolly need some reset ❤
Jake Welly , I can’t thank you enough for putting my country in such a positive light, I agree with your point of view in every way and I’m glad that you had a grand time. I do wish and this is maybe a selfish desire on my part, I wish for my country to remain unnoticed . I can live without the accolades and recognition because with much tourism comes a lot of negative effects that can destroy the beauty, serenity, and purity of the environment and our people. I have seen that in boracay which I’ve known before they had electricity. I also acknowledge the financial aspects that tourism brings to the region. It’s just a wish for me to see these places to remain as they are for as long as possible. The beauty of nature untouched is becoming rare and few and I wish for the future generation to have the chances we had to experience nature as God made them. It’s just a wish for me. I will follow you to Palawan and I want to see the awe in your faces the moment you realize the gift that’s in front of you and I knowing that you understand how I feel as I write this comment.
Thank you J&W for this vlog showcasing this country. Being an underrated tourist destination is what makes this pristine raw natural beauty of the islands a prime destination for many. The warmth, hospitality and generosity of its people is an endearing culture for all people. Mabuhay and come visit the Philippines again.
Thank you for the kind words! It's so true. We loved the Philippines. The next part to our Philippines Travels drops soon! Stay tuned for more another Philippines video!
I love everything about the video, the cinematography, the storytelling, the honesty, and of course the appreciation. The islands and the people will wait for your next visit :) Maraming Salamat!
This video contains informative and balance view of what your observation in the Phil’s. I sense this video is done in professional editing to present this content more vivid. Keep it up guys, can’t wait to see your next blog about the Phil’s.
Oh well, bisaya people are just very good at marketing. They can even make BAD practices look like good ones. Even tell the people that's normal. All for the love of MONEY. 🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷
I admire your concern about whale shark, they shouldn’t be fed so they can continue their journey to migration . The good side is they are not in captivie unlike orcas and dolphins that used for profit and entertainment in captivity . I’d rather be free and fed than in captivity and stress. I hope you see my point there . Thanks
I don’t disagree, but when you are feeding the sharks and the tours guarantee that youll see whales sharks every day, and you go out and they are attacking the boats for food and there are 1000 crazy tourist in the water. Maybe something should change? 🤷♂️
As far as the BFAR directives, feeding them is prohibited, and local people know. Maybe some tourists are just doing their own things but that is forbidden to do. And the fact is that the government could not restrain the freedom of people to see those sharks at any time, even, so tourism is allowed to flourish anywhere they are seen in places around the country. The only real threat to them, perhaps, is water pollution.
You probably been to a few islands in the Philippines -- you have 7,600 to go - every island here is breathtaking. The most beautiful island in the Philippines maybe in the planet is called 'BATANES" - visit this island before you go home otherwise your vacation is not complete. Batanes has a touch of IRELAND AND SCOTLAND IN TROPIC SETTING. You tube it.
@@JakeWellyn fact most of the gorgeous beach waterfalls volcanoes,sand Bars, islands in the Philippines are secluded and hidden gems or off the beaten path , ASIK ASIK FALLS in North Cotabato, Balabac island, luxurious Amanpulo island in Palawan Cresta De Gallo, Bon Bon Beach in Tablas Romblon, Isla De Gigantes in Iloilo, Kaparkan Falls in Abra Mayon Volcano, Calaguas beach in Bicol, Kalanggaman Sand bar in Leyte, White Island in Camiguin, Kagusuan Salagdoong Cambugahay Paliton beach Barracuda run in Tulapos Marine Sanctuary all in Siquijor check it out
Batanes is truly one of a kind with century old stone houses, and honesty stores and breath taking sceneries. As a Filipino this is my dream destination, I've been to Boracay, Galera, Vigan/Pagudpud, Quezon and Batangas Beaches.
Watching this from Maryland. I was born and raised in the Philippines but I haven’t been to these islands. Thanks for sharing. By the way, love the cast away scene around 8:02… I thought Jake just had too much of San Miguel or Red Horse beer on their way to Panglao Island😂. Kidding aside, great vlogs overall and thanks again for these informative videos- I’ll definitely add these places to my bucket list.
Thank you Sir and Ma'am. Because you did experienced that amazing greatness, it's just a dot of piles of rice seeds due to plenty and lovely areas that was just there in our underated but truly you both can justify that ❤❤❤❤ I'm a Filipino and I love my country, Philippines 🇵🇭
Most of the time I only comment to troll but this one's well done that I just can't get myself to do it haha. Great vid and you're a lucky guy, your girl is so wholesomely gorgeous!
A local tour guide said that most of the corals were destroyed during the super typhoon Odette, caused by the boulders and debris carried by the flashfloods. As far as I could remember, the southern Cebu coastlines were teeming with live corals, huge ones. As of this time, a few survive and the local government is setting up stricter rules for tourists to protect the remaining live corals.
