Erwan Heussaff had a silver spoon in his mouth from birth. His father is French, a former marine who subsequently entered the petroleum business, and his mother is Filipina. Erwan went on to study culinary arts. He is now a chef, and because of his problem with being overweight, he named his TH-cam channel The Fat Kid Inside. He is one of the most successful Filipino social media celebrities to turn their passion for cuisine into a career and a source of popularity... His battles with being overweight, however, served as inspiration for his path, and now he uses his culinary expertise to assist families in leading healthier lifestyles. He is married to one of the nation's most popular celebrities. He has multiple company chains. In addition, he tells great stories and has a ton of trip vlogs. His younger sister is a well-known star in the country as well. I feel it is easy to collaborate with Erwan's team because even the foreign vloggers here who are now living in the Philippines have collaborated with him. Even Jessica Lee had a collaboration before.
Omg that is erwan, my favorite food vloger, he is from the elite family, he is a half french and half Filipino, his wife is also a very famous and one of the beautiful actress here and also his sister solen. Good thing u guys discover his channel, yes he is a good story teller, and that is one of the thing, that I like, to his channel and also educational, and since he traveled around the Philippines and other countries, we was able to introduce to his viewers, about the culture and the food delicacy of all the places he'd been.
I'm one of Erwan Heussaf's subscribers. His vlogs are full of deep/profound knowledge, ideas, to completely understand and store them in ur memory. Such a very good story teller like Atom Araullo, a Filipino journalist, model, vlogger.
What sets apart Erwans' videos from other content creators is that he always make sure it's educational and inspirational, more like of a documentary type. He dives deeply into both sides of each topic he presents, not just the fun, fun part but also the struggles and areas of improvement and support that's needed from the government. Tawi-Tawi is still practicing Barter Trading, where they trade goods in exchage of other goods (not monetary) with other locals or places. Barter Trade is very popular pre-hispanic times, where Filipinos trade with Chinese, Indonesian, Thai, Malaysian, even Indian, and basically with every neighboring countries.
I work with a company before for 9 years who operates in one of the island in Tawi-Tawi. I can say that Tawi Tawi is much safer than any other cities I've been to in the Philippines
I'd like you guys to know, Tawi-Tawi(pronounce as Tawee-Tawee) is known as the land of peace and the cradle of Islamic civilization in the southern part of our country. Haven't been there myself but Tawi-Tawi used to be the subject of conversations with my collegues in our study of Philippine history. The word Tawi-Tawi actually was derived from the "Malay" word "Jawi" which means "far" or "isolated" and peopled predominantly by "sama" meaning "unity and peace". Thank you for your interest doing reactions to our country. We appreciate it so much❤
Everywhere in the Philippines, whenever there is a typhoon or unpredicted calamity, the government sends aid to evacuate people as many as they can and bring them to a safer place.
Erwan is great to follow. When he travels, he goes deep. He learns about myths, the people, the culture, the food and everything in between that usual vloggers do not cover. You always get something extra special when you watch his videos.
Oh! I have lived in Tawi-Tawi for almost 15 years bcoz that’s where I earned my degree, attending the university there and eventually worked there. 90% are Muslims and 10% are Christians, both have lived peacefully. I miss Bongao, the capital of Tawi-Tawi,my second home. Been missing my friends and the culture too. A’tin here! 💙😊💙
Wow, he is the husband of a famous celebrity. I did not know he had this kind of content. I just knew him for being a chef and a great husband to Ms. Anne Curtis.Great reaction and great video content to react to.I also have this mindset that Tawi Tawi is really not safe due to the media. I love how the locals smile all the way up to their ears-a very heartfelt gesture to see coming from a region where being safe is questionable.
In my opinion as a filipino,Tawi tawi got their unique ancient culture,proud of our ancest0rs (sea gypsies), and it must be preserved at all cost, and time has changed, these wooden houses that's on the water must be relocated on a nearby land before they pollute the water and a huge tsunami would wipe them all out of existence.
I've been to Zamboanga del norte and they have open shoreline overseeing Cebu city, yet I don't see a tsunami happening in the next decades since it's not an open sea as the other parts of the country facing Pacific ocean like siargao. While tawi Tawi maybe at the southern tip of Mindanao yet it's so close to Indonesia which is another mountainous archipelago. Sea rising is one of the prime problem they will face and waste pollution is a thing they have managed quiet successfully. If the turquoise water surrounded them still as clear as the greenery you can underneath that means they have conscious obligation to protect their livelihood. Mindanao is rich with seafoods varieties that's why in Mindanao you hear the title tuna capital or where marlins are still abundant. It means that these people living centuries in or over the water knows better than anyone who knows how to protect their only habitat.
He actually travels around the Philippines to feature the local food in whatever area he goes to. As a Filipino, I find his series very interesting and educational. So if you're more of a foodie and wants to know the specialties and local delicacies of a certain province or city, I think FEATR is the way to go.
Just like any other country, there are places that are off limits even for local tourists. Mindanao's secluded areas are slowly opening its doors but hopefully maintain the beauty and traditions. Thank you for your RV.
If you go around this area pls do your research and make sure you go with a trusted local and a armed guard never drop around this area in Mindanao they might say it’s safe place now but NO treats are very real
When i was in Malaysia as a tourist, going back to Phil. We did exit back door by roro small ship going to Tawi2 then next to Zamboanga if i am not mistaken ride by plane to Manila.. So many Soldiers at Tawi2, at 1st u will get scared because they're very strict when it comes to documents... Thats my very memorable exp.. Bcoz i am with my daughter and shes only 9 months old that time i think year 2004 ,..i forgot to get DSWD Form proof that i am her mother, they will ask u few questions, but i explain everything and things went good.. I must say its safe❤🎉😂
Because Malaysian are known to steal islands like Chinese they’re all the same, saba is ours keep that in your mind, this Buddhism country priesting a Rock not god
My father is fisherman. I was born in Siargao. i remember my father when i see that fisherman in the video. I miss Siargao. I hope i can visit soon my home. Paris, France is more expensive now after pandemic.
@@sweet-sweets5428 I miss Surigao City too. I been morethan 10 yrs. now in Paris, France coz my husband is french. But i really home sick now. Hopefully i can visit next year. i miss surfing in cloud 9 Siargao.
That area or the southern part of Mindanao is barely a pathway of typhon. Most of the storm originates in the pacific. The middle part of the island is highly and always a target. Yes, the government and the local government responds by giving reliefs and medical supplies
Southern Philippines especially Tawi-tawi or the Sulu archipelago in general doesnt usually get hit by typhoons or some crazy storms due to it being situated a bit off the typhoon belt so it's all safe for the locals to live on these houses on stilts. The sea in this area is virtually calm year round.
I love Gina Lopez she's a genuine environmentalist. She's a daughter of one of the oligarch families in the Philippines but she went to India during her youth and did soul searching. And when she came back she became a die hard environmentalist who cleaned up Pasig river and many more. She became the Environment secretary at the start of Duterte's presidency and butt heads with rich mining businessmen which is why she was denied the appointment by the commission as the environment secretary. Sadly, she passed a year later after getting removed from the position.
She is a great person and like Duterte loves the environment. What I heard was after Duterte won the election, she went to him knowing him for sometime now due to her advocacy and presented her suggestions. Duterte appointed her right there, but she was not confirmed by our lawmakers. It was a sad day for us who believes in her dreams for our country’s natural environment.
Kulas and his team went to tawi tawi and Sulu province before. If you guys plan to go, contact them and coordinate with the local government for your safety. ✌️
I always pronounce the TH-cam channel's name "FEATR" as "Feature". I am a subscriber of that channel, and I've been watching already a few to some of their videos or contents. The guy in the video is Erwan Heusaff. He is a Filipino-French Philippine celebrity, chef, restaurateur, entrepreneur, endorser, TH-cam content creator for his TH-cam channel FEATR, social media influencer or personality, food and travel blogger/vlogger, and the husband of Anne Curtis-Smith, a Filipino-Australian Philippine celebrity, television and film actress, model, television host, entrepreneur, endorser, social media influencer or personality, former VJ or video jockey, television stage performer, writer/author, and former recording and concert artist, and he is the brother-in-law of Jasmine Curtis-Smith (Anne's younger sister), a Filipino-Australian Philippine television and film actress, model, television host, endorser, social media influencer or personality, television stage performer, and writer/author. He is also the younger brother of Solenn Heusaff-Bolzico, a Filipino-French Philippine celebrity, television and film actress, model, television host, entrepreneur, endorser, social media influencer or personality, former VJ or video jockey, television stage performer, former recording artist, former singer, former makeup artist, writer/author, and painter. Erwan lives in the Philippines with Anne and their young daughter, and more specifically within the Metropolitan Manila or Metro Manila area aka the National Capital Region or the NCR of the Philippines. They also lived and/or traveled in other countries, individually , as a couple, and with their young daughter.
My family traveled there April last year and we have children with us, it is totally safe and the locals are very helpful. My sister was feeding some cats living in the resort we were in and she was scratched by a cat accidentally but we did not encounter any issues because the staff in the resort and public hospital in Bongao assisted us and provided her with free treatment and anti-tetanus and Anti-rabies shots. Best local coffee I had in my entire life.
Sulo Province (including Tawi-Tawi)is at far southern part of the Philippines is not typhoon path area and seldom visited by typhoon. It's also abundant of seafoods and marine life... I think it's a misconception that it's not safe but the truth, it's a safe and peaceful place...
kulas,or becoming filipino is the first vloger intruders in the tawi tawi ,solo and more he live there many years since 2014 i guess ..before its not safe lots of isis in this area but filipinos are fighter 😄 ..for this year the place is safe lots of vlogger come and go to this island ..they can speak many language ,malaysian ,tagalog,muslim,zambuanga,bisaya,cebuana,tagalog,english and more 😆..and the fist there is cheap the seafoods ,its fresh ..this place is my bucket place to go soon .. watching from shanghai china.

On one of my snorkeling trips, a few years ago, (I prefer snorkeling to scuba/personal choice) I was cruising along and came almost face to face with a rather large sea snake. I knew it was one right away, due to coloring. I guess I upset it, bc it turned and started swimming right at me. I backpedaled, flipping my fins hard. When I paused to look, it was still coming right at me, and much closer! I headed for the beach and it was following me close. I paused once again to look, and it was only about 6 to 8 feet away. That got me a bit nervous, as you might guess. I got to where I could touch bottom, and waddled out of the water, looking very uncoordinated, not even having time to take off my flippers. It followed me all the way to the beach, and came only a foot or so from the shore, then finally turned away. Basically, it chased me out of the water. I'm sure it felt proud. I didn't. Sea snakes have small mouths and teeth, so can't really "bite you" like other snakes can. But, they tend to go for the soft parts of your hand (in between fingers), and, once bitten, WHO is going to be able to save you way out where we were? So...snake wins!
Nothing like Erwan Heussaff's videos. His videos are more culture-centered as oppose to travel guides. If you want to deep dive into our food and culture, his videos are gems that you love to just binge watch. He has amazing videos with his family too. The power couple and their little one juxtaposed in simple and ordinary back drops that make up their laidback personalities as oppose to their lives as massive stars in their own rights. It's pretty indulging to see. You guys should react to more of his videos along side the travel guide video stuff.
once there is a typhoon, DOST (Dept of Science and Technology) through PAGASA (Phil Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Service Administration) issue warnings on a regular basis. If the strength merit for an evacuation call then military is there to assist. LGU (Local Government Unit), non-government institutions and even individuals are there to help and provides assistance. Of course major public transportation is on halt.
Some of Surigaonons go in Tawi-tawi when the mining season here in Surigao del Norte ends because in Tawi-tawi they don't have end season in their mining industry, because here in Surigao the mining season ends in October because it's rainy and wavy season, because we're close to pacific ocean. Sadly, Palawan, Surigao, and Tawi-tawi one of the most beautiful Provinces of Philippines is relying on mining industry I mean aside from tourism most people is relying on mining industry for jobs. I hope you get what I mean because I am trying.😅
Tawi-tawi is not in the typhoon-belt of the Philippines. Most typhoon visited areas are Luzon main island in the north, eastern Visayas and Bicol region.
Now i realize never in my life have i heard of a typhoon raging in tawitawi. Strong rain, of course, as a result of typhoons in nearby provinces, but not storm
Tawi tawi is also a place where lots of salt water crocodiles caught. First is Palawan lots of crocodiles coz of crocodile farm. 2nd tawi-tawi u can see crocodiles.
Welcome 😊 actually I’m from Iloilo City, the city of love and smile. We hve lot’s different historical Mansions and lots of foods , beaches too .

Mindanao is a nice a place its almost untouch compared before Mindanao is peace now lots of military personnel and police to make sure the place was safe anyone who travels to Mindanao especially when u are a foreigner soldiers or police they will escort u to make sure u are safe there are certain places that are not allowed to enter Mindanao is big island that guy is Erwan Heusaff he is half filipino and celebrity chef he travels in different provinces to documents all the different foods in our country hes been promoting the filipino foods history and our culture that was hidden i like his documentaries coz its raw if u visit Mindanao Kulas the becoming filipino is the best tour guide for u he always travels around mindano he lives in Davao watch his youtube channel he is like filipino local😂😂watching u here in saudi arabia
There are not much typhoons in the southern part Mindanao of the Philippines, The typhoon path usually are in Northern Mindanao or Visayas up to Luzon,,
@@TripTipsPodcast your welcome, i live in Camiguin Island part of Northern Mindanao...Luzon people are afraid to go to Mindanao because of the conflict there. Our island is so peaceful and there are many tourist spots here like Cold springs, hot springs, soda water, waterfalls, island hopping to White Island and Mantigue and a lot more.We have 7 volcanoes in the island.
Erwan Yeusaff is a husband of Anne Curtis a famuos actres in philippines, and Ann Curtis is half filipino and half australian and Ann is a crush of Ken/Felip of sb19
every part in the phils.,in rural areas not reached by humanitarian aid, needs to have an evacuation center where they can go,if needed.and then they will be transported nearby town where its accessible.for help.and its not that really a big deal,i. mean weve been experiencing it...hahaha..its normal.. 20+ typhoons in ayear..yeah,its expected.we just need to prepare and evacuate of needed..and PRAY.and help each other.
@@TripTipsPodcast well... ITS MORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES Y'ALL.!!! HAHAHAH.. but our spirits are soo high..we get to smile after some hiatus..we got back up and live our lives. God bless us!! hehe
@@TripTipsPodcast cant wait for you to experience karaoke and videoke night here..hahaha.. im not really that near Manila or Luzon... im in Visayas..iloilo city..hahaha..
Please check more of his content from his channel FEATR. He never fails to highlight the Filipino culture whether it be destinations, food, people and traditions 😊 Also enjoyed this one!
The main problem with Erwan video is Celebrities does hire bodyguards and they do request a police detail with them. But if you travel to that part of Philippines you will stick out as foreigners and definitely you do not have bodyguards nor police detail. To say that you are safe is completely ignorant because their are elements exist that can still be dangerous, two missionaries got kidnap in Palawan and ultimately those hostages got sent to that region Sulu, tawi tawi those groups are called ARMM and eventually one of the hostages died during the rescue and that rescue took an extensive length of time. Definetely their is a travel advisory from the state department for that area, if you go and something happens the US has no obligation to rescue you. You can go to the opposite side of that island like Siargao where you have a better chance and have a good time in Philippines. I am Filam i am not biased before you consider any travel to that region be aware that you are an American their is always a bounty on your head, if you get kidnap you wont get a WNBA treatment where they would send someone to exchange for your return. Their are many places that you can have a good time and not worry about your personal safety but avoid that region it is not worth dying for.
Mention of the conflict about the South makes me think maybe you may want to watch about the Battle of Marawi back in 2017. There are many videos out there but I will recommend the documentary by Rapler as the reporter tells the story while being in the actual conflict area. that video is titled "153 days of war" short description about it is it's a battle between Philippine Military vs ISIS (Maute-ISIS) back in 2017 who tried to establish caliphate in Marawi back in 2017 (EDITED "153 DAYS OF WAR", my mistake, I'm thinking about 365 days of the year haha)

@@TripTipsPodcast I understand, I mean I recommended the video for personal review, the intent is to give you guys more grounded perspective towards the conflicts that had happened in the S South by starting of watching this video documentary. It talks about future challenges Philippines have to resolve regards terrorism back then (because now it is more under control and our military have now shifted to territorial defense).
I live in Manila but I was born in Palawan. I already have a ticket to go home on the 22nd and I can relate when you say "I can't wait to be there." Living in the city is really not healthy. I can't wait to eat from my mom's garden and fish from the sea nearby breathing fresh air around nature.
@@TripTipsPodcast hope you enjoy your vacation here in the Philippines when you come. In case there's a typhoon when you come here, I think you should watch "bagyo ka lang, pinoy kami" and see how filipinos react to typhoons. Its a saying which means "you're only a typhoon, we are filipinos"
Hello! Nice to have you visit Philippines soon. I would highly recommned you to check out Erwan's videos. Youll be more familiarized with filipino food and foodie places. He is a culinary expert/chef. Good luck on your future journeys!
Check out kulas (canadian) aka becoming filipino vlog about his road trips around the country and also. Critter hunter who is an american scuba diver living in dumaguete now. There's kumander daot who is from UK and now living in mindanao. They all have interesting and educational videos about the locals as well as diving.
It's good ur coming in november ~ u can experience our early christmas😅 also theres gonna be a festival in Cebu called "sinulog" there's gonna be street dancers representing diffirent parts of cebu-.Basically, the festival is done by a dance ritual, in which it tells the story of the Filipino people's pagan past and their acceptance of Christianity.(this is where u'll see traditional customes and dances)😊 it's an annual celebration every third sunday of january. (🤭 it's gonna be fun, u might get face painted by the locals)
The problem with the people equiped with education is that instead of using it in their country they leave the country to pursue higher salary for the education they learned. And im gonna tell you guys i was a kid in the 80s and growing up in early 90s there. The province area in philippines was such a medieval way of life. Electricity is very hard to come by...television was only for the rich. Even manila wasnt developed much back then.

Tawi tawi and Basilan province are once a terrorist haven affiliated to a terror group but with the joint effort of US and Philippine forces these terrorist group were neutralized the provinces now is safe and generally peaceful
You two guys don't say words it is safe. Go out your room and pack up everything and take passport and ticket and go that place, Philippines or Taiwan so that you will prove to your self. Your lucky if you still alive and back safety.
Just be safe when you go to this highly guarded area . I believe it's safe and it's a beautiful place base on Erwan's vlog but why would the government assigned those much military. ❤
Tawi Tawi earned that stigma for not being safe there because of the armed conflicts before and some crimes. Just watched this video of yours. You asked if people are rescued, Yes in our country each LGU (local government unit) if a storm has been formed our PAGASA (weather bureau) would inform via news and our LGU will monitor this. If it becomes a storm or worst a typhoon they'll monitor it. Would be informing their constituents especially near bodies of water to prepare to be evacuated. If alert levels been raised the locals would evacuate themselves and men would stay to watch over their belongings. LGU would then check house to house if anyone needs a rescue. Our country storm and typhoons is usual because of our geographical location. June to August are our wet/typhoon season.
@@TripTipsPodcast Ha ha ha just letting you know of our wet seasons. But even during those wet seasons there are still fun things to do...There are provinces only that storms passes them by.
Mindanao specially the southern part are known to be a Muslim sanctuary yet Christians and other religious sect cohabiting the are peacefully. I could say that I wish the whole country downs not just connotes them with association of previous terms such as terrorists because now that I've been living in middle east half of my life, these countries are peaceful and though not a perfect government but openly coexist with any nationality. I grown to have surrounded with Muslim brothers and sisters and never did I feel my existence threatened with such alleged accusations about having a war freak area. Truth that these people needs to be left alone and let them nourish into such beautiful population where there culture survive for generations to learn to. I'm also happy that it's not being broadcasted and popularity of it as tourist destination might halt for a while as I'm still being jealous of the nature's creation not to be disturb. I've seen grandeurs here and I long to come back to the place where air still breathe the seas droplets and the forestry still housing rainforest fogs. Mindanao it's the prime supplier of the nations agricultural consumables.
Erwan should just admit it and just put an apostrophe in FEATR (FEAT'R), he keeps insisting it's clearly feature but it's not even, his friends are teasing him about it, it sounds like FEETER a certain fetish channel lol.

Philippines are not safe in secluded areas , specially for Americans like you ! Filipinos are hospitable but there are some kidnapping going on specially to rich families it wasn’t in the news !!! Yes it cheap in the Philippines for a foreigner to live there but I would stay probably in Luzon area , Manila but traffic is bad ! I’m just being straight forward! Weather is great , it is very hot from March to September ! We have earth quakes once in a while , typhoon is also bad . Hot , traffic , pickpockets ,scammers ( airport the taxi drivers ) just be aware before you decide staying there ! We want you to be safe too ! Good luck !
You are full of B,S. Philippines is much more safer now compared to other places in the U.S. and other metro cities in the south America. Yes there's pick pocketers so with other places in the world this criminals is present. But Philippines is no longer the same as 20 years ago wherein crimes that you stated is rampant. Now our security and safety was improved vastly in recent years. So stop those stereotyping or labeling my beloved Philippines.

I've been to Tawi Tawi for business back in the 90's until 2000,The Seafood there is so Cheap..Tawi Tawi is a peaceful place.
Can’t wait to visit
In my opinion as a filipino,Tawi tawi got their unique ancient culture,proud of our ancest0rs (sea gypsies), and it must be preserved at all cost, and time has changed, these wooden houses that's on the water must be relocated on a nearby land before they pollute the water and a huge tsunami would wipe them all out of existence.
I've been to Zamboanga del norte and they have open shoreline overseeing Cebu city, yet I don't see a tsunami happening in the next decades since it's not an open sea as the other parts of the country facing Pacific ocean like siargao. While tawi Tawi maybe at the southern tip of Mindanao yet it's so close to Indonesia which is another mountainous archipelago. Sea rising is one of the prime problem they will face and waste pollution is a thing they have managed quiet successfully. If the turquoise water surrounded them still as clear as the greenery you can underneath that means they have conscious obligation to protect their livelihood. Mindanao is rich with seafoods varieties that's why in Mindanao you hear the title tuna capital or where marlins are still abundant. It means that these people living centuries in or over the water knows better than anyone who knows how to protect their only habitat.
He actually travels around the Philippines to feature the local food in whatever area he goes to. As a Filipino, I find his series very interesting and educational. So if you're more of a foodie and wants to know the specialties and local delicacies of a certain province or city, I think FEATR is the way to go.
Thanks 😊
Just like any other country, there are places that are off limits even for local tourists. Mindanao's secluded areas are slowly opening its doors but hopefully maintain the beauty and traditions. Thank you for your RV.
I see
If you go around this area pls do your research and make sure you go with a trusted local and a armed guard never drop around this area in Mindanao they might say it’s safe place now but NO treats are very real
👍👍
Mostly houses built in the sea are in the southern part of the Philippines and is not the normal path of typhoons
When i was in Malaysia as a tourist, going back to Phil. We did exit back door by roro small ship going to Tawi2 then next to Zamboanga if i am not mistaken ride by plane to Manila..
So many Soldiers at Tawi2, at 1st u will get scared because they're very strict when it comes to documents...
Thats my very memorable exp.. Bcoz i am with my daughter and shes only 9 months old that time i think year 2004 ,..i forgot to get DSWD Form proof that i am her mother, they will ask u few questions, but i explain everything and things went good.. I must say its safe❤🎉😂
😊👍😊👍
Because Malaysian are known to steal islands like Chinese they’re all the same, saba is ours keep that in your mind, this Buddhism country priesting a Rock not god
My father is fisherman. I was born in Siargao. i remember my father when i see that fisherman in the video. I miss Siargao. I hope i can visit soon my home. Paris, France is more expensive now after pandemic.
My lola is from Siargao too, but we live here in the mainland Surigao City.
@@sweet-sweets5428 I miss Surigao City too. I been morethan 10 yrs. now in Paris, France coz my husband is french. But i really home sick now. Hopefully i can visit next year. i miss surfing in cloud 9 Siargao.

OH ZAMBOANGA ANOTHER FANTASTIC PLACE OFF THE CHART COLORFUL AND THE ORCHIDS WOW .... AND THE PEOPLE WOW ALSO
Beautiful
That area or the southern part of Mindanao is barely a pathway of typhon. Most of the storm originates in the pacific. The middle part of the island is highly and always a target. Yes, the government and the local government responds by giving reliefs and medical supplies
Southern Philippines especially Tawi-tawi or the Sulu archipelago in general doesnt usually get hit by typhoons or some crazy storms due to it being situated a bit off the typhoon belt so it's all safe for the locals to live on these houses on stilts. The sea in this area is virtually calm year round.
The Beautiful island of Mindanao.🇵🇭

I love Gina Lopez she's a genuine environmentalist. She's a daughter of one of the oligarch families in the Philippines but she went to India during her youth and did soul searching. And when she came back she became a die hard environmentalist who cleaned up Pasig river and many more. She became the Environment secretary at the start of Duterte's presidency and butt heads with rich mining businessmen which is why she was denied the appointment by the commission as the environment secretary. Sadly, she passed a year later after getting removed from the position.
Wow what a great person.
Wait she passed?😭😢💔
@@TripTipsPodcast pardon I meant passed away
@@gabrielevergreen7699 that’s so sad
She is a great person and like Duterte loves the environment. What I heard was after Duterte won the election, she went to him knowing him for sometime now due to her advocacy and presented her suggestions. Duterte appointed her right there, but she was not confirmed by our lawmakers. It was a sad day for us who believes in her dreams for our country’s natural environment.
Kulas and his team went to tawi tawi and Sulu province before. If you guys plan to go, contact them and coordinate with the local government for your safety. ✌️
Thanks we will 👍
"Into The Archipelago" is my favourite of his series videos. It's a 3 travel adventure video series that you can see on his youtube playlist.
I’ll check it out
I always pronounce the TH-cam channel's name "FEATR" as "Feature". I am a subscriber of that channel, and I've been watching already a few to some of their videos or contents.
The guy in the video is Erwan Heusaff. He is a Filipino-French Philippine celebrity, chef, restaurateur, entrepreneur, endorser, TH-cam content creator for his TH-cam channel FEATR, social media influencer or personality, food and travel blogger/vlogger, and the husband of Anne Curtis-Smith, a Filipino-Australian Philippine celebrity, television and film actress, model, television host, entrepreneur, endorser, social media influencer or personality, former VJ or video jockey, television stage performer, writer/author, and former recording and concert artist, and he is the brother-in-law of Jasmine Curtis-Smith (Anne's younger sister), a Filipino-Australian Philippine television and film actress, model, television host, endorser, social media influencer or personality, television stage performer, and writer/author.
He is also the younger brother of Solenn Heusaff-Bolzico, a Filipino-French Philippine celebrity, television and film actress, model, television host, entrepreneur, endorser, social media influencer or personality, former VJ or video jockey, television stage performer, former recording artist, former singer, former makeup artist, writer/author, and painter.
Erwan lives in the Philippines with Anne and their young daughter, and more specifically within the Metropolitan Manila or Metro Manila area aka the National Capital Region or the NCR of the Philippines. They also lived and/or traveled in other countries, individually , as a couple, and with their young daughter.
I’m subscribed to his channel as well. It’s amazing 🤩
My family traveled there April last year and we have children with us, it is totally safe and the locals are very helpful.
My sister was feeding some cats living in the resort we were in and she was scratched by a cat accidentally but we did not encounter any issues because the staff in the resort and public hospital in Bongao assisted us and provided her with free treatment and anti-tetanus and Anti-rabies shots.
Best local coffee I had in my entire life.
Can’t wait to try it 🤩🇵🇭
Oh it's Erwan Heussaff.😊
Amazing creator
Thank u so much guys for watching this videos,and about tawi tawi❤ have a great day
Our pleasure
I heard it is a beautiful place. I have not been there but friends and relatives told me it so beautiful. Should include in my bucket list.
Including it in mine
Sulo Province (including Tawi-Tawi)is at far southern part of the Philippines is not typhoon path area and seldom visited by typhoon. It's also abundant of seafoods and marine life... I think it's a misconception that it's not safe but the truth, it's a safe and peaceful place...
Good to know
kulas,or becoming filipino is the first vloger intruders in the tawi tawi ,solo and more he live there many years since 2014 i guess ..before its not safe lots of isis in this area but filipinos are fighter 😄 ..for this year the place is safe lots of vlogger come and go to this island ..they can speak many language ,malaysian ,tagalog,muslim,zambuanga,bisaya,cebuana,tagalog,english and more 😆..and the fist there is cheap the seafoods ,its fresh ..this place is my bucket place to go soon ..

On one of my snorkeling trips, a few years ago, (I prefer snorkeling to scuba/personal choice) I was cruising along and came almost face to face with a rather large sea snake. I knew it was one right away, due to coloring. I guess I upset it, bc it turned and started swimming right at me. I backpedaled, flipping my fins hard. When I paused to look, it was still coming right at me, and much closer! I headed for the beach and it was following me close. I paused once again to look, and it was only about 6 to 8 feet away. That got me a bit nervous, as you might guess. I got to where I could touch bottom, and waddled out of the water, looking very uncoordinated, not even having time to take off my flippers. It followed me all the way to the beach, and came only a foot or so from the shore, then finally turned away. Basically, it chased me out of the water. I'm sure it felt proud. I didn't. Sea snakes have small mouths and teeth, so can't really "bite you" like other snakes can. But, they tend to go for the soft parts of your hand (in between fingers), and, once bitten, WHO is going to be able to save you way out where we were? So...snake wins!
That’s scary. That’s why I don’t play in the open ocean.
Nothing like Erwan Heussaff's videos. His videos are more culture-centered as oppose to travel guides. If you want to deep dive into our food and culture, his videos are gems that you love to just binge watch. He has amazing videos with his family too. The power couple and their little one juxtaposed in simple and ordinary back drops that make up their laidback personalities as oppose to their lives as massive stars in their own rights. It's pretty indulging to see. You guys should react to more of his videos along side the travel guide video stuff.
His videos are so well thought out
Gina Lopez (the lady in yellow, a known environment advocate) had already passed away... God bless her soul :(
😪
Tawi tawi is beautiful place
Agreed
once there is a typhoon, DOST (Dept of Science and Technology) through PAGASA (Phil Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Service Administration) issue warnings on a regular basis. If the strength merit for an evacuation call then military is there to assist. LGU (Local Government Unit), non-government institutions and even individuals are there to help and provides assistance. Of course major public transportation is on halt.
Some of Surigaonons go in Tawi-tawi when the mining season here in Surigao del Norte ends because in Tawi-tawi they don't have end season in their mining industry, because here in Surigao the mining season ends in October because it's rainy and wavy season, because we're close to pacific ocean. Sadly, Palawan, Surigao, and Tawi-tawi one of the most beautiful Provinces of Philippines is relying on mining industry I mean aside from tourism most people is relying on mining industry for jobs. I hope you get what I mean because I am trying.😅
Thanks for sharing this with us
Hope and wishing you have more more more subscribers to COME❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much 🤗
Tawi-tawi is not in the typhoon-belt of the Philippines. Most typhoon visited areas are Luzon main island in the north, eastern Visayas and Bicol region.
Good to know.
If there's a hurricane, they just stay there home 😊 if there are houses destroyed just smile and rebuild again that's a Filipino spirit😊
Sounds like Floridians
Now i realize never in my life have i heard of a typhoon raging in tawitawi. Strong rain, of course, as a result of typhoons in nearby provinces, but not storm
Tawi tawi is also a place where lots of salt water crocodiles caught. First is Palawan lots of crocodiles coz of crocodile farm. 2nd tawi-tawi u can see crocodiles.
Thanks

Please check more of his content from his channel FEATR. He never fails to highlight the Filipino culture whether it be destinations, food, people and traditions 😊 Also enjoyed this one!
I'll check it out!
The main problem with Erwan video is Celebrities does hire bodyguards and they do request a police detail with them. But if you travel to that part of Philippines you will stick out as foreigners and definitely you do not have bodyguards nor police detail. To say that you are safe is completely ignorant because their are elements exist that can still be dangerous, two missionaries got kidnap in Palawan and ultimately those hostages got sent to that region Sulu, tawi tawi those groups are called ARMM and eventually one of the hostages died during the rescue and that rescue took an extensive length of time. Definetely their is a travel advisory from the state department for that area, if you go and something happens the US has no obligation to rescue you. You can go to the opposite side of that island like Siargao where you have a better chance and have a good time in Philippines. I am Filam i am not biased before you consider any travel to that region be aware that you are an American their is always a bounty on your head, if you get kidnap you wont get a WNBA treatment where they would send someone to exchange for your return. Their are many places that you can have a good time and not worry about your personal safety but avoid that region it is not worth dying for.
There's not much typhoon in these places of the Philippines, as far as I know
That’s good
Featr is the name of his vlog
Thanks
Mention of the conflict about the South makes me think maybe you may want to watch about the Battle of Marawi back in 2017. There are many videos out there but I will recommend the documentary by Rapler as the reporter tells the story while being in the actual conflict area.
that video is titled "153 days of war"
short description about it is it's a battle between Philippine Military vs ISIS (Maute-ISIS) back in 2017 who tried to establish caliphate in Marawi back in 2017
(EDITED "153 DAYS OF WAR", my mistake, I'm thinking about 365 days of the year haha)

@@TripTipsPodcast I understand, I mean I recommended the video for personal review,
the intent is to give you guys more grounded perspective towards the conflicts that had happened in the S South by starting of watching this video documentary.
It talks about future challenges Philippines have to resolve regards terrorism back then (because now it is more under control and our military have now shifted to territorial defense).
Ok thanks we'll check it out.@@weien_024
Yes this guy’s contents are very good. I had watched yesterday his Ube content. He’s more famous for his real name.

I think the fishermen and farmers depends on the middleman because of the lack of budget to go through the market or restaurant to sell
I live in Manila but I was born in Palawan. I already have a ticket to go home on the 22nd and I can relate when you say "I can't wait to be there." Living in the city is really not healthy. I can't wait to eat from my mom's garden and fish from the sea nearby breathing fresh air around nature.
It’s the best feeling being in nature 🇵🇭😊
@@TripTipsPodcast hope you enjoy your vacation here in the Philippines when you come. In case there's a typhoon when you come here, I think you should watch "bagyo ka lang, pinoy kami" and see how filipinos react to typhoons. Its a saying which means "you're only a typhoon, we are filipinos"

Just be safe when you go to this highly guarded area .
I believe it's safe and it's a beautiful place base on Erwan's vlog but why would the government assigned those much military. ❤
Good point
Tawi Tawi earned that stigma for not being safe there because of the armed conflicts before and some crimes. Just watched this video of yours. You asked if people are rescued, Yes in our country each LGU (local government unit) if a storm has been formed our PAGASA (weather bureau) would inform via news and our LGU will monitor this. If it becomes a storm or worst a typhoon they'll monitor it. Would be informing their constituents especially near bodies of water to prepare to be evacuated. If alert levels been raised the locals would evacuate themselves and men would stay to watch over their belongings. LGU would then check house to house if anyone needs a rescue. Our country storm and typhoons is usual because of our geographical location. June to August are our wet/typhoon season.
I’ll make sure to stay away in August lol

Mindanao specially the southern part are known to be a Muslim sanctuary yet Christians and other religious sect cohabiting the are peacefully. I could say that I wish the whole country downs not just connotes them with association of previous terms such as terrorists because now that I've been living in middle east half of my life, these countries are peaceful and though not a perfect government but openly coexist with any nationality. I grown to have surrounded with Muslim brothers and sisters and never did I feel my existence threatened with such alleged accusations about having a war freak area. Truth that these people needs to be left alone and let them nourish into such beautiful population where there culture survive for generations to learn to. I'm also happy that it's not being broadcasted and popularity of it as tourist destination might halt for a while as I'm still being jealous of the nature's creation not to be disturb. I've seen grandeurs here and I long to come back to the place where air still breathe the seas droplets and the forestry still housing rainforest fogs. Mindanao it's the prime supplier of the nations agricultural consumables.
