'Back on the Road'
Damn it feels so good to be back on the road
Been way too long since I've been back on the road
I've missed the wind in my hair
I've missed the roar of my engine
Don't know where I am going
But I don't care
I just wanna drive anywhere
The open road is my home
And there is nothing I'd trade it for
Back on the open road
My one true love

Brilliant, now I have the lyrics
I respect your opinion but for me livelihood of locals is the most important to me because of that they able to feed their family and send their children to school. oslob whale shark watching is more decent than other countries some of them kill and eat the whales and sharks. whale sharks in oslob are not in cage any time they can leave and the activity just only in the morning, there are biologist and experts who monitoring the activity. so many big companies operating zoo's, aquariums, ocean parks, ask them to stop their operation first before criticizing oslob.
P.S. your story about oslob whale shark is not complete.
I must say Mr Doyle, i'd like the song, very daring and cool 🎉 and i am gonna skip your only fans mate 🤪🤣
Anyhow enough jokes, what did miss P think of the song and lyrics? 🤔
Thanks for another epic next level episode you adrenaline juncky content creator 💪🙏
I am 100% with ya on the whaleshark opinion, same as thai elephant ride is a no go 😘
As always Paddy, C Ya in the next one, with love ❤ from us 3, cheers 🙌🍻
Absolutely love the music on this series!! Back on the open road just lightened my day up! Thank you🙏🏻🙌🏻
Paddy if you haven’t figured it out yet. That rain coat goes over the front of the bike. The window is not to show your balls it’s so you can see the speedometer and for your headlight to shine through. I used one like that while living in VN. They do work well used proper. Thanks for the new video buddy. Keep ‘em coming and my likes will continue to flow. Have fun man!❤
The stunning beauty of the Philippines has earned a well-deserved spot on my bucket list! Thanks Paddy❤
Glad to hear that, the most beautiful areas are still to come!
There is a lot to explore.
I just have to say something.. I was born and raised in Manila but left decades ago, anyway you Paddy and all of your viewers, for some reasons, are some of the most down to earth, realistic, adventurous, fearless, 🎉respectful human beings . Regardless of how difficult and frustrating some situations are , you stay realistic and are never condescending . I have not seen or heard a sense of entitlement from you and your viewers as well, which quite honestly is something I rarely see nowadays from where I live. I’m finally seeing and reading real human emotions devoid of pretentions. Keep it coming Paddy, thank you, and I’m subscribing now.
Palawan is another great place to visit but the most inspiring places I visited were on two tours in Manila. If you can, visit the dump where the ships empty their trash and the people from children to grandparents that live there go through and separate items to sale. Another is the cemetery tour where thousands live. At both of these places you will meet the nicest people, teach the world what poverty really is, and get a new perspective of our small planet.
Thanks they both sound unique and interesting. Certainly not the usual experiences everyone films.
Philippines 🇵🇭 is so beautiful i have never really wanted to go but after watching your series so far I’m going to go . Thanks Paddy for the adventures.
Go for it!

You should take note that Kawasan isn't the only waterfalls in Cebu but there are hundreds more. Yes, Cebu is home to 110 waterfalls systems totalling to almost a thousand individual falls and cascades with the similar clear and clean turquoise blue water. All these waterfalls are unique in their own right and no two falls are similar. The only things these waterfalls have in common are their vivid turquoise blue water, the multiple levels they have, the multiple deep pools for swimming and the amazing lush greenery surrounding them. For starter, based on ease of accessibility, try Aguinid Falls, Inambakan Falls, Binalayan Hidden Falls, Dau Falls, Kabutongan Falls, Montpelier Falls and Mantayupan Falls. You will surely get awed by these beautiful and gorgeous waterfalls. Kawasan Falls, as of the moment, is only accessible if you join a canyoneering activity.
Certainly, there is more to Cebu than Kawasan and Oslob. Don't you know, that Cebu is originally famous for white sand beaches, island hopping, snorkeling and scuba diving back in 1970s until 1980s? That's the reason why there are lots of luxurious beach resorts all over Cebu. Both Kawasan Falls and Oslob whale sharks are just recent attractions to foreigners. Kawasan Falls in early 2000s and Oslob whale sharks in 2012. But local tourists from Cebu have long been frequent visitors to these attractions even before mass tourism started in early 1990s.
I really enjoy your videos, but for the first time after your singing debut that you started in your current series I had to fast forward. Sorry
So did i shocking
Nice video Paddy but my cat ran away when you started singing and wont come back ! 😅
Try to get over to Camiguin Island off the big island of Mindanao in the South , one of Philippines ' tiniest islands but the most volcanic island in the entire planet with over seven active volcanoes. Labeled as the Tahiti of the Philippines, small (easily loop round in motorbike in one hour) but with loads of natural wonders ( hot and cold springs, a most unique Soda spring and yes, the water do really taste like sparkling soda!, waterfalls, volcano hikes, a sunken cemetery from turn of the century eruption, a spectacular white sandbar in the middle of the ocean, home to giant clams, very local and non-heavy tourist footprint, etc. Easy and quick travel to the island by flight from Cebu, Manila and direct ferry services from Bohol and many points. Great island to get away to and greatly local with first class accommodations.
Thank you for being so kind to whale sharks. I hope the LGU will get your message regarding the taking care of their number one attraction, their environmental health issues!
Nice vid as always, not sure about this singing malarkey though mate 😂
The best views. The best times. ❤❤❤The best ways to see the world. Thank you for being so generous in sharing this.
Great music bringing back the sounds of the 80s yet very contemporary. The whole show is so much fun as usual. Thanks, Paddy.
The Countryside is so Beautiful another Awesome Adventure Paddy Doyle Thank You.🙂
Respect, Paddy. I appreciate your explanation and position regarding the whale shark swim. I also respect your approach to obstacles, which you use as opportunities to find alternate routes and adventures. Keep up the good work!
Cebu has always been the 'poster boy' of Philippine tourism long before Boracay, Palawan and Bohol became popular in middle of 1990s. Cebu, in fact, was the default destination for white sand beach, scuba diving and snorkeling activities in the Philippines in the 70s, 80s with Mactan and Moalboal leading Cebu's must-go-to places. Until now, Cebu still attracts more foreign tourists than any single destination in the country. Germans, Japanese and Americans used to be the largest foreign tourists in Cebu between 1970s until 1990s. Koreans started to overtake all three groups in early 2000s and in 2019, just before the pandemic came, Chinese tourists were poised to overtake Koreans as the largest group of foreign visitors to Cebu when their number narrowly edged out by Koreans by triple digits, at around 800,000 to Korean's 1.2 million. British tourists have never been a big fan of the Philippines ever since so they're mostly ignorant about the Philippines. So they're surprised by Moalboal's large expat population.
Cool
Ang Cebu parang metro manila, daming mga basura at litters sa kalye, bangketa, pati sa beach, dagat, gubat at mga bundok daming mga litters...no wonder kaya kokonti lang ang mga foreign tourists...
@@Ravishing_Mr_Perfect true Ang dumi dumi na lalo Cebu city Wala ata ginagawa ung local government
@@RihannaCarlaMorgan korek ka dyan !
@Randee Junior.. Yes tinuod na, hugaw ang Cebu, basura daghan.. Dili lang ang Cebu,, ubang place pod sa PH..
Walang mga desiplina mga tawo..
This episode is absolutely everything.. Green scenery, the romance of solo spontaneous travel. And good on you on the decision not to do the whale shark thing. I met a lady from Cebu working in Cyprus earlier on this trip by judging by your adventure it's much of what she described from her youth there. Also the music!
Good on ya Paddy. The Whale Sharks are magnificent creatures. We swam with them at the Donsol interaction center. Their natural migration path. Looking forward to more of your travels in the Philippines. It's always interesting with you.
Paddy is just a freakin' idiot...he thinks he knows about Philippines. PATHETIC,IGNARONT FOOL.
Well done Paddy, i totally agree with you about the whale shark's,
You gave us a great view from the mountains instead, which we don't see very often from others thanks and keep those videos coming. Take care
Paddy brother! You bring me so much joy. Your production is an absolute perfect experience. Not a moment I haven't loved. Excellent work brother. Paddy Paddy Paddy Paddy!
Wow, thank you!
100% Agree with your decision about not promoting Oslob. The ethics of feeding whale sharks are questionable to say the least, but the Oslob experience will certainly feel like your in an overcrowded Zoo. Far better to experience them in the wild.
Great job, Paddy. You’re such an inspiration. Keep up the great work.
Gosh... Paddy should go participate in Britain's Got Talent !!! Back on the Road !!! Well done !
Paddy's ! Looks like you got your "10,000 steps" in on this video ! The whale shark thing is just another extension of what was once a good thing, being " loved to death". Same/ same. Safe travels ! 🤞👍🙏
Visit Siargao.. it's no.1 best island in the world 😊 and Bohol... since you're near there now..
This channel is awesome I loved the singing too, lovely voice though. The drone shoots are amazing...😍
Glad you enjoy it!
im excited to watch this
Oh Paddy🤦🏾♂️ that “window” is to be draped over the headlight. When in doubt… do as the locals do 😆 Love following your adventures. The music was hilarious but so in tune with the county’s culture. You make me laugh. The editing for this video is on point! Thank you so much for all your effort.
Thanks 👍
The Philippines always brings the best out of me
Glad you back on the road again Paddy. I enjoy your videos and being able to travel virtually because of them. Also look forward to all you have to show us of the Philippines. Luv luv all of it always
Cool underwater footage Patty! Top of the world feeling at the top of those strange mountains.
Your motorbike journeys are proper next level, love watching them!
The Philippines is paradise some stunning beaches that only locals know about
I liked all your vlogs earlier more 😊
Please do what you did always …explore and not make another influencer PH video…too many man.
No singing and promo please 🙏 😂
I know it’s too late as you are out of Cebu island for sure - you should have visited one of the smaller islands like Malapasqua in the north of cebu which was a 💎 in 2006 when I was there …same as Boracay back then
Anyway have fun and explore something new for us 👌🍀😎
There are lots of people making boring selfie vlogs.
Man let him try and do whatever he wants to do. I wasn’t a huge fan of his new videos with the singing at first but it’s growing on me and he has balls to do it nobody else has tried it.
Thanks Paddy, for the information re all your travel blogs, you’ve helped up travel Thailand and now for Philippines next year 👍
Woww- You’ve come a long way Mr Doyle!!! This video is totally “Next Level “ Your intro is mega awesome and completely professional!!! My husband & I have been following ever since shelter-in-place & this video is amazing!!! We’ve never been to Cebu and/or Boracay & this is now on our bucket list! Thanks for sharing this awesome video 😊
Fully agree about the whale sharks at Oslob - looks really stressful for them! I'm planning my own Philippines trip atm and I'm looking in to staying in Sogod Bay (Leyte) which has some stunning dive sites and is also somewhere whale sharks come on their migration route october-may. Obviously seeing them passing through isn't guaranteed the way it is when they are being fed but I'd much prefer to see them living their natural lives
Totally agree.the stress will kill them.and stop feeding the fish bread that will kill them as well.what is wrong with these people😶
Yaaahhh the killer whale in florida also...set them free...
Yes they are migratory. I saw a vlog at lombok. By Adam Radcliffe. And in thailand too and other places like tenggol island.
@steve Bignell the locals will tell you, with no tourism, they will hunt them down.
Be sure not to attempt swimming with the whale sharks 😢
These songs are absolutely incredible and make me smile ear to ear, keep ‘em coming
Stay safe Paddy! Love your amazing videos!
Another excellent vid, worth the wait.
Glad you enjoyed it
Just found out your channel, sir 😊. Thanks for the effort and hardwork just to share with us your adventure in the PH❤. We appreciate you so much. God bless you! Cheers for more adventures 🥂❤️
Hello i always enjoyed watching your video very entertaining and quality content👌i love your style 👍❤️
Love the musical takes, definitely sets you apart. Memorable!
Great video we loved this area!
Reminds me of David Brent’s on the Road series with the singing to,
Check out Antig Tingko Beach station 1.
The window on the raincoat is for the motorcycle light. It's supposed to go over the front of the motorcycle. The motorcycle handles goes into the raincoat holes.
I’m loving your spontaneity Paddy. And your own song? That’s next level!
Enjoying the series.great content as usual .we hope to head to the Philippines in December so it’s certainly giving us a upto date insight…..keep up the good work
I get goosebumps when I watch anything to do with the Philippines my spiritual home ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
wow those hills are like boho choco mountains
Welcome to our beloved province of Cebu!
I love Cebu sir..😍😊my home province
I’m with you, Paddy! 100%!
I love that 80's vibes intro and music! ❤️
Amazing views!!!♥️♥️♥️🙏🇵🇭
I love this so so much!!!
What an edit man. Great job!!
DIY saved money. Thanks for teaching
Good to see you enjoying Cebu as much as i do in my own hometown 😉 from pure Cebuana ❤
I really love Cebu. There’s a lot of beautiful places or towns to visit in Cebu other than Cebu City and Lapu Lapu City. Greetings from Pangasinan, where you can find the Hundred Islands.🤍
Twenty yes ago cebu was a great place to chill a city with a town feel
🎶"Back in the open road."🎶, I like that song. 🙌
Agree about the whale sharks.
I Swam with Whalesharks in Exmouth, Western Australia off Ningaloo Reef. Fantastic natural experience!!
Enjoy ur Travel Adventure Sir. Keepsafe ur Travel and God Bless Safe Drive
The closed path shown in the video, was the old entrance to kawasan falls, before it was destroyed by the storm, you can go to the kawasan through canyoneering, you might not have gone into the canyoneering station.
i enjoyed watching it thank you
I am sooo entertained by your singing, man! well done! Cheers!
Love the song paddy 👍
So sad… useful information. Thank you for shedding some light
kawasan falls the attraction / resort part is closed, but you can still do the canyoneering.
Hello Bro Paddy !🤗🙂❤️
I enjoy watching your videos . And nice to hear your songs. You sound like Paul McCartney !!🙂💞🙂
Keep making good videos take care and God bless you always! 🙂💞🤗❤️
Go north or south of cebu beaches and waterfalls in there
Thanks!
new subscriber here. lovin' the honest talks and how you're very open to exploring things and places as they are ❤
Nothing unethical about whale sharks activity in Oslob as the sharks are not cordoned, herded, shepherded, or restricted in their movement. They're still in their natural wild habitat. Oslob is their feeding grounds because it is also the breeding and spawning grounds for krills, the tiny crustaceans that form their main diet. In fact, it is well-organized and fully regulated, supervised by DENR, local university Marine Biology department, WWF and few other NGOs who are stationed on site everyday. Through this activity, more and more people have come to learn more about whale sharks and their conservation. While whales sharks are hunted in other parts of the world, here in Cebu, they're well protected and conserved.
It's good that you've laid down the facts, some people are totally ignorant about it.
@@Aqualastic Correct. Most of those who are opposed to it are actually ignoramus to the highest degree based on their reasons. Some even said that the whale shark activities in Oslob caused some fins and tails of the sharks missing due to the propeller of the boat. What propeller are they talking about when all boats used are all paddle boats ever since the activity started in 2012. They don't even know that a representative from WWF and DENR and the conservation group from local university's Marine Biology Department are stationed on site every single day.
Yes, Osmeña Peak. The deformed cousin of Bohol's Chocolate Hills. Kidding. Just read that somewhere so no hate please😆. It's actually as pretty as Chocolate Hills i think.
I totally agree with you on the Oslob whalesharks. Been telling the same thing to some of the vloggers. Not against whaleshark tourism, but it should be heavily regulated for the sake of these gentle giants.
Anyway, i miss Will and Jose's PH vlogs. Hope to see them back again soon. ❤
Osmena peak is stage 2 of the evolution of karst landscapes. Stage 1 is the Chocolate Hills, later stages would be the ones in El Nido and Coron.
Wow. Your videos are awesome. Thoroughly enjoy the singing, too.
i just love the singing part sounds like 80's song so catchy
Go to Donsol, Sorsogon where whalesharks are not being fed and living on their own.
Leave the whalesharks alone!
Present !!!❤❤❤❤❤ better late than never ❤❤❤❤
The graphics and cinematography in these has been next level! Not sure if you got new equipment or what. Unreal!
I enjoyed watching your vlog ....you added a new flavor to a travel vlog by singing !! its like listening to a NEW WAVE music vibe . Thanks for embracing Filipino culture!💕💕😊😊👋👋🙏🙏!
Agree with you on Cebu City, I didn't think much of it although my wife is Cebuana 🤫 It does have an interesting history though, including Mactan where the great Lapu Lapu knocked off Magellan, and I believe at one point Cebu was considered as a potential capital of the Philippines. Thanks for the vid, I really need to explore that island more someday!
Is it true there are trash issue around there?
Because it's still dirty and underdeveloped.
Not for long if you're paying attention to what's going on there. It's the most well rounded Island in the country.
@@keangwooichoo6138 Where in Southeast Asia isn't there a trash issue lol 😅
@@TheBureauAsia true
Thank you for the visiting our country. Greetings from Manila. Love the 80s style. Brings back my childhood memories😊
Glad you enjoyed it
so coolllll
The music video 🤣 we didnt expect that lol ❤️❤️❤️
Awesome adventure!
Reminds me of ricky Jervis
06:34 - what the hell am I watching 🤣🤣
Paddy's musical stylings ☺️
You are my new favorite travel show. Love the music 😂
Enjoy being your audience!
Moal-Boal :D Lived there for a longtime and loved it. Small but easy going city
Absolutely more fun in the Philippines
I have watched most of videos and love them, but the singing is a major fast forward desired button!
Respect. The canyoneering thing isn’t closed though. You went straight to Kawasan Falls which is indefinitely closed. You need to find the the folks offering canyoneering tours. They’re good people.
hi Paddy,
just subscribing right now.
i like your video
enjoy Cebu
Sir good day you can also go to Siao garden ,temple of leah
