100 YEAR OLD NEVER TOLD BEFORE TRIBAL HISTORY - Bakngeb River Cave and Hidak Falls
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ก.ค. 2024
- YE TUDA, or Sabay Flang, is the oldest living resident of Sitio Bakngeb in Tboli, and was the first person to settle here. She does not know how exactly how old she is, but we know part of her story happened in 1915, when the River Cave opened up.
And so when I asked about the history of the place, I was surprised to see her dictating about two pages of A4, very slowly, to her grand-daughter. It took almost an hour. Little did I know that she had never told the story in full to anyone before, but after I asked about the history, she felt that she needed to keep the history alive and record it.
It is a story of how the Bakngeb River Cave was formed, how it opened up, and how this place was founded.
So we heard a piece of tribal history, until that day untold - which is something very, very overwhelming.
After that incredible morning, I went to the nearby Tuesday Market which has products from 4 neighbouring barangays, especially the awesome tribal coffee.
Then onwards to Hidak Falls, a place I went back in 2016, which now has a partly improved road. Part of it - we had to dig it so the pickup would pass!
Plenty of tribal dancing near water happened too - all in all a great exposition of the fantastic Tboli culture.

You're very fortunate to witness authentic Filipino tribal culture that many Filipinos have not...
Nice vlog kumander.
The tribal people really treated you like royalty with their dances and intricately designed clothing and jewelries.Truly you are given with such rich traditional welcome.
This series is worthy of a full documentary by National Geographic 👍👍👍👍
I agree i was considering forwarding this with permission of course
@@EvertonLive Please do so. Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't know how. I'm so amazed this tribe and culture still exists in the 21st century when man is now trying to conquer the skies.
Thanks so much.
I was about to say the same thing. It's getting better by the day! 👍👍👍
You have made a big contribution to our Philippine history.. Kudos to you kumander daot❤️
KD you definitely have separated yourself from the rest of the vlogging community... This is excellent in every aspect. Unequal, incomparable and unparalled... a stand out...
Yup..much better than seeing someone making blogs about eating and slurping coffee every day🤦♂️
he should really be recognize for this Tiboli series.. its really outstanding!
I agree with Ian.. Truly a real Philippines experience... Well done Kumander D .. Amazing stuff mate.
Truly a stand out.
What a special honor to be the impetus for the history to be told for the first time. You must be so humbled by such an honor. That whole scene literally brought tears to my eyes. 😢 In fact, this whole video stirred so much emotion in me just watching it. I can't even begin to imagine how much this visit must have impacted you. Thank you for bringing us along on this beautiful adventure!!! 💖💯🙏
kumander d, you sir are part of that history as well and your name will be mentioned along with it in future history books as you were the first outsider to have been told about it first-hand. congratulations sir. you have made your mark in tboli/philippine history within the handful of years in the country. what an honor.
It's so overwhelming to think about that...
@@KumanderDaot what an amazing honour to be CHOSEN as the receiver of the story . I cried through the whole Ye Tuda segment , omg .
i want to say thank you for letting the world know the different culture of the Philippines,, that even we Filipinos did not know. specially the younger generations.. SALUTE TO YOU KUMAMDER.
Brother it is wonderful for us, the foreign audience, to see you completely immerse yourself into this culture and sharing this with us takes to the highest level. When I retire in 9 years, i fully expect to find you when i get there and spend hours upon hours reliving your experiences over many 5:thirsty moments.
And Anselm a.k.a Kumander Daot can speak their language
Love this comment
What a rich culture you have immersed yourself in Anselm. A privilege to watch and experience it through the eyes of the beholder. Thank you.
She shared the story for the first time because nobody bothered to ask and so lies the future of humanity. Everyone will just google the question and ignore the knowledge of their elders. Thanks for this kumander.
I sat with my Lola years ago. Interviewed her. Wrote things down. Then my Lola told me a secret story. I was crying. It’s important to know your history
Sa LAHAT nang Indigenous Tribe sa Pilipinas,ito pinakagusto kung damit.
Thank you Kumander Daot 💙💙💙
Kumander this is an extraordinary story that a lot of us in the Philippines don't know. Thanks, Kumander👏👍👍👍
DOT should recognize these guys- kumander D, Becoming Filipino and Finn Snow. They explore Philippines mostly beyond reach to be reachable, great encouragements/awareness👍👍👍
Exactly..not like those couple content creature living in luxuruios life in Manila..dont know our r culture and learn from it....
@@joy-hb9ue I think I know whom UR talking about.Those couples have also created vlogs on promoting tourism highlighting places to explore,visit and experience the Phil.culture.
Kumander she trust you and she knows her story will be told truthfully... what an honor... Thank you Kumander and your friend DAVID who shows you around... please tell him we all said hello
Hat's off to you Kumander Daot you scored big it's not only a vlog it's a documentary from a real historian
CONGRATULATIONS
President Duterte who is from Davao is so proud to say that the lake Holon you went and lake Sebu is beautiful that someday, other Filipinos could also visit and see the beauty of it. He loves Mindanao. T’boli tribes are river people
I love your T'boli series KD! Wow such an honor Nanay told you that special story that she's keeping for a long time. I'm a little teary eyed cause I can feel the overwhelming feeling that you've felt when Nanay told you that special story. Kudos to you KD! What a visit to the T'boli tribe, they're so proud of their culture and heritage. They are so happy of your visit KD. Long live T'boli Tribe!
This is a vlog that has more sense and not fake or cringey.
I am so proud of you Anselm. The contents you share have been comparable to that shown by well known media networks. You are brave to go through all if these adventures. You have shared things that have never shown to the world. I hope that this helps preserve the tradition and culture of the T'Bolis.
Your T’boli series is one of the best kumander D.
Really enjoyed making it!
@@KumanderDaot bcoz your officially became part of history .
Kumander Daot I’m not sure if you’re the first foreign bloggers that explore the T’boli tribe .
@@KumanderDaot if this pandemic is over i can't wait for your return in Sagada as a Vlogger this time.👍
I don’t want to call you daot.... you’re a beautiful person with a big heart! Thank you for showing us this part of my country.
Very powerful. I had goosebumps watching. I bet you do feel overwhelmed that she has chosen to share the history with you. The chosen one. That itself is history in the making. I can understand why you stayed in the Philippines. The people are amazing.
Love the music. Powerful video. Thank you for sharing. Your content just gets better and better. Love the dancing. :D Have a great day.
What an immersion. Most Filipinos do not know this rich history you have just presented. Thank you for taking us there through this awesome video. Keep it up KD!
Kumander you are so Lucky to be a part of this amazing discovery that Lola revealed. That's very overwhelming.
Honestly the most insightful and extraordinary vlog I ever viewed on TH-cam, you interact so very instinctively and naturally with the locals. Incredible to know such history is still living on in this less explored area of the Philippines. Keep on documenting the history of this beautiful country before it has vanished forever.
You have summarized it perfectly Sir.
That takes me back 30 years you will never forget the people it s a wonderful place I miss the people I am now 71 years old and will never forget my experience there
She told it to u cuz she knows.. her effort wont go to waste and she knows ud translate it accurately.. she saw ur passion..
the best kumander d ducumentary😊👏
Kumander Daot you are an excellent blogger, a Truth Teller. I watched closely the big and small elements of the T’Boli episodes. I specially like that you also featured the importance of the bananas, truckloads of bananas in the economic life and survival of the T’Bolis. Thank you Kumander Daot and David.
Thank for giving us all these inside information about the tribe. It's beautiful to watch the colors and friendliness of the people.
This is very entertaining to watch than a Hollywood movie...
Is the dance an imitation of how the river waters flow? Wow. If my TH-cam memory is correct, Kumander Daot is the first one to film this beautiful part of Mindanao - beautiful place, culture, and people! Well done Kumander.
Am awe of the wonderful nature and its people.kumander D,you've showed respect for the tribe.its culture and history,such deep appreciation is the highest form of love.living ONE with each other regardless of culture and history is LOVE without border and judgement.you nailed it kumander D.keep safe always.
Wow! Kumander...you just unearthed one of the many history of philippines. Now the world will know more about the Philippines because of you. I think you are good in telling history from your videos from wales and now in the Philippines. I would suggest that you do a lot of this content. I believe there are still a lot of the same stories that you will uncover in Mindanao. So proud of you man.
Like the native American indians their dances were forms of prayers and thankfulness to God so for the Tbolis to do the same thats quite precious and honor for anyone to experience..thanks..
It’s amazes me to see so much similarities this tribe to my tribe in northern Luzon Cordillera region their traditional garb beads dance and chants almost the same to us..
Wow...the tribal welcome❤️🙏 Awesome! not only a vlog but it's a documentary...
Sir, you have my total respect and appreciation for featuring in your vlog our T'boli (IP) brothers. Truly such a big honor for being chosen by our "centenarian lola" as a recipient of the well-treasured history of the tribe's culture and ethnography. Well of course a documentary documented in writing by the tribe's people certified via fingerprint mark of lola is really a once in a lifetime experience that will never be forgotten for the rest of your life Sir. Magnifico!!!👏👏💯💯
May tinatagong talent pala si Kumander Daot...nice story teller..dati mahiyain..salamat kay Becoming Filipino..inilabas niya ang pagka-creativity mo. Good job. I'm empress... Cheers
This vlog tugs at my Filipino heart. Thank you KD for featuring this tribe and this beautiful tribal elder.
Awesome. These times should remind you of your purpose. These people needed a voice to the outside world, and they chose you.
Well done I can see why she chosen you to tell the story to. When they were dancing and you started dancing with them it reminded me of that movie Jewel Of the Nile lol You did the story justice . Great job!!
What a great honor, Kumander. I have always admired your storytelling skills. And the elder probably sensed that you are indeed a great storyteller and she entrusted their history to you.
Kumander Daot, I subscribed because you have taken your vlogs to another level. Your video shots, narration and interviews are superb. Your showcasing lesser known (at least to me) Philippine culture and heritage is highly appreciated. Plus you have opened yourself to us. Keep going, keep fighting and keep God!
This tribe has a colourful history, culture as well as colourful tribal clothing and headdresses. You are awesome KD! Thank you for introducing us “hidden wealth” of the Philippines. I applaud your courage, admiration and exposure of these undefined and interesting people and their lives. I never even learned about them them in Philippine Schools!
Bless you Kumander Daot ,part of our Philippines history that is still well preserved and in existence in some part of Mindanao.not only there but in the entire archipelago ,we have lots of diverse history ,cultures and traditions as being Filipinos.👍🤗🤗🤗💞💞💞🇯🇵🇵🇭
Kumander Daot, very honored and grateful to know you. You are a true treasure to the country of the Philippines. You're Vlogs have made a difference in so many lives. Goose bumps all over. We are so happy to see you smiling and so full of joy and honor. All the best to you always.
the last remaining Pride beauty and treasure of the country Philippines. amazing story thank you for sharing this youre on for a good mission keep it up
The Philippines has over 20 indigenous tribes, with their own folk arts (dances and songs), tribal wear, languages, each with their own rich history, some are flourishing than others.
I can see that she is a beautiful pretty woman when she was younger. Wow what a legend.love you Lola❤️❤️❤️ Amping kumander we loved you💝💝💝
You are the luckiest man on earth right now..being sorrounded with beautiful native women fill of smiles and energy.
Thank you for showing the world the beauty of the Philippines. keep safe and enjoy.
You are one lucky man mate.. not all visitors get welcomed like that. They see the goodness in you that others fail. Cheers mate!
You made me cry kumander you are very lucky to be chisen by the elder and shared the history of their cave. Been dreaming of going there too someday I love how they shared their culture to you/us. God is really working for your healing.
Good morning Kumander "The Great", your recent videos show you are very happy. The world can see it... Beautiful beautiful videos. And i must admit i did not 100 percent know this tribe exists.. Thank you for showing us you wonderful journey. Loved the local market. Oh my the coffee i can smell from where i am right now. Thinking of visiting this place one day. Again excellent not just simply vlog but documenary that young Filipinos should know. Thank you and thank you to the people in that place...Take care Kumander..🌳♥️
Sweet...woww....imagine getting a heart from Kumander...Thank you... Filipinos and the rest of the world are waiting for your next exciting goosebumps feeling videos. Take care.
Very inspiring documentary, Kumander D! Indeed, there are many historical facts that haven't been told. Nonetheless, as I have commented before, you are turning out to be like David Attenborough. God bless and more blessing to you, Kumander D.
I love hearing your voice Kumander D.
Your content is getting more and more substantial with each new vlog. Keep it up! You’re giving your countryman Ian Wright a run for his money!
No longer Kumander Daot...you have now evolved into Kumander Documentarian. Nanay must’ve felt your pure spirit thus she opened up to you...what an experience for you....so happy for your journey...stay safe🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Quality versus quantity. This is what I'm talking about in comparing other vloggers in the Philippines. Kumander Daot's videos are educational, fascinating and at the same time, entertaining. Keep up the great work, Kumander!
The dancers are beautiful 🥰
You are very welcome there, it's heartwarming. You nailed it KD thx for showing their culture to us ! As Kulas said power on
Kumander's Channel is soo underrated! Deserve to have million views and subscribers! 👍👍👍👍
Wow! Congratulations, brother KD, you’re the key who opened the history of one of the Philippines tribes.
Awesome tribe and place. Thank you in bringing us in that place Kumander Daot.
You must be proud Kumander you are so honored and bless by the Tboli Tribe more than us, Filipinos and Mindanaon. Be blessed and be connected to that Tribe, you are now a adapted member of the Tboli Tribe. May God bless you always!
Daybong Salamat Kumander! People know who have the purest of hearts! It is an honor indeed to accept you as family within any of our National Treasure . I love the T’ Boli people.we used to live in Tacurong and Davao and I see them during market days with colorful beautiful costumes.
The dancing in the river and the drone shot can be highlight... But of course the interaction of lola and their history
Im proud of you Kumander for exploring you home, The Mindanao 👍🏼😊🇵🇭
TBoli is rich in history and your very fortunate that the Tboli tribe blessed and open their hands to you.
The ceremonies are very fantastic ❤️👍🏼😊🇵🇭
Kumander D, I just love your style of vblogging. It’s like a documentary narration of the history of the tribe, your journey with the people and interaction of the elders. Keep it up even if your vblog is about food. Always interact with the locals and interview the cook not just the owner. I mean dig deeper and ask questions and also I like when you often focus the subject or scenery not just yourself 😉
i love watching the unique culture of the Tboli which has been thriving and
has been preserved by their own tribe. You featured it so well.
Our brains are kind of like time machines and they can transport us straight back to the past - you can see it in her eyes, that she was reliving those past events with her mind.
Just like Kulas, you deserve to be granted as a tourism advisor by the govt. This is a very nice exposure to the native Philippine cultures that a lot of Pinoys have not seen.
Epic, K.D. you are now part of Tboli history...such an honor to be part of and a key element in preserving their history through your videos..you were meant to be there...your videos now rival those of National Geographic...outstanding sir!
It's a historic moment for you and the Tribe. Neither myself who is a Filipino never heard of such history and didn't know until now that this awesome Tribe people exist. Am so ignorant about my country, my countrymen. Shame on me. Thank u so much for doing this to the wonderful people. God Bless!
Where did you grow up?
Are you now adopted son of tiboli? You did great. You deserve all the praises
Anselm I'm very proud and thankful to you mate for video coverage of this wonderful Tboli Tribe ,you know that you have probably done the longest video coverage this Tribe that has ever been taken in such a wonderful and meaningful way and certainly is great for the history and archives to be kept for future generations of this great tribe , also what an honour bestowed to you by the elder and people of the tribe YE TUDA sharing a part of the history for the first time to you directly and for the whole tribe now it's written what a wonderful thing to be given such an honour ,this tribe and all it's inhabitants truely adopted you again thank you for the coverage you did .Power on
Been following you from your first vlog, even before that doing cameo roles in Kulas-a vlog. In such a short time, you have become a great vlogger. Now you have developed a niche -- a cultural vlogger. You are a great story teller. Salamat sa kanimo.
Pls collect more stories,🙏 cause many is not known, and can disappear 4 ever... God bless...
This video´s content is one of a kind. The old lady must´ve had seen something in you. Truly an honor for you and I can understand that you were overwhelmed.
The Tribe has beautiful dresses very colorful. I love it.
Congrats KD you gained their trust.I could feel your overwhelming happiness & disbelief.
This is kumander D's calling... Your meant for documentary ❤️❤️❤️
What a honour to have that old lady tell you this story. That will live with you for the rest of your life mate
What an honor that she told you the Tboli's tribal history.
Kumander D I thank you for this amazing video. I fell like I was there too. That part of Mindanao were not easy to travel in the past but now you showed us we can go there. Yes bucket list getting long need to go back to Mindanao soon to explore the new Mindanao. Thank you again, daghang salamat.
Proud native of Cordillera here and i hope that our rich culture will keep going 😁💪🙏
It just goes to show how "neglected" a lot of history is in the far-flung areas of the Philippines is. they were just glad that someone went there and got to hear their story.
Your sincerity and respect for them has reached their hearts, thus gave their trust to you. Thru you the story of their sacred place can now be known. Thank you for these series.
Kumander Anselm,
This is your calling. More so than than anything else you could ever do. The Fish ponds were an education for you. Put that behind you. Your showing the world about places unknown. You are documenting life of forgotten peoples. Most Filipino's know nothing of this. Yet you got the Tiboli Oracle to only tell her story to you. She knows her time is coming to closure but she must have seen into your soul. Now more than words written on a page; her story has been brought to life.
I think she had a twinkle in her eye for you. I would guess that she would of wanted to have been your Grandmother.
Kudos for your documenting this.🙏🙏🙏
You know my people more than I do. Kudos to you KD.
This is the kind of content people should watch! We are fortunate Kumander Daot is doing it for us. Content is really King. Thanks Kumander Daot
Thank you so much for this vlog, Kumander. You are a blessing for the Tboli Tribe. They treated you like one of their own and blessed you with their history. I am now going to watch the first three vlogs. You are a fantastic voice for the Philippines.
History in the making
Right in front of your eyes
Great video
Such an awesome experience!
Kumander ,she saw something in you that you're the one ,people can sense or get that vibe that tells them that this is it .( the lucky one) I feel goosebumps watching you speechless!!!
Very noteworthy, Kumander D. The traditional dances of the T'bolis, their friendly welcome, the clothes they wore, their good-naturedness in extending to you what they can offer, David's valuable assistance --- these are indeed things to be shown to the world. Raw documentary of a Philippine tribe. Kudos, KD!
Of all the foreign vloggers in the Philippines, you have really started to set yourself apart from the pack. Love this series. Incredible locations, perfect immersion into culture, great narration, and a good balance of Daot in a professional travel series. This deserves so much credit. Great job.
I wonder if the furnitures inside the cave still exist . That would be exciting to discover. The legend of the Tboli tribe.
They say that they are still there. I'd love to explore if the water wasn't so strong!
I am really really proud of you kumander daot for sharing our tiboli tribe history... good luck!!! Og amping permi..
Wow that’s such an adventure. I can understand why you’re so honoured and overwhelmed. The last living ancestor shared the history of the hidden cave. Just to you. Lucky you. You’re truly part of the Tivoli tribe.
thank you for bringing us closer to our indigenous people! Am glad to see they keep their culture alive until these days.
