Wow, amazing most of us haven't been there. The Philippines is so blessed with natural beautiful scenery. If only the Islands were utilized and developed properly then it would really be paradise.
For me what needed is good and easy access to the island like transportation but leave the natural beauty for future generation to see. I love Batanes the way it is. But if you meant is more accomodation or lodging for tourist yes it will be great Batanes will generate more income as well. Love to visit Batanes in the near future
@@melaniericket9333 This is not Batanes! It's actually Mararison Island which is part of the province of Antique in Western Visayas. I guess you got clickbaited with Batanes in the thumbnail!😂
@@melaniericket9333 No problem! Mararison Island and Antique Province in general deserve to be in the spotlight! Antique is so beautiful and raw! It's a place where the mountains meet the seas!
Mergim is a city boy however he explores roads less traveled and still enjoys it; he also loves tranquility....calm....refreshing , peaceful environment ....he seems to be a well-rounded vlogger. ...and viewers love him for that. Great video of Mararison island...the mountain view is stunnig. Keep up the good contents, Merg. God bless❤❤❤❤❤❤
Adventure galore! Thank you for exposing the gorgeous hidden parts of the Philippines to the world Mergim! For me, the true beauty of the PH are mostly outside the big cities... the calmness, sceneries, people, and wonders of nature😊 Mabuhay! ❤
Your drone footages are never disappointing, along with the background music. Beautiful island and its spectacular views. So nice to hear you speak some Visayan/Tagalog words…soon you’ll be speaking the dialects like a local. Fascinating episode of your journey. Be well and stay safe. 😊
Mararison is gorgeous, every time I go there it's always beautiful, especially if you stay overnight with the locals and watch the sunrise. Also, the contrast between the black sand in the main island of Panay and the white sands of the island!
Nipa are palms that grow in mangrove/swampy areas in the Philippines and probably in S.E. Asia. These leaves are woven and used for roofing and walls of huts.
Nipa Hut or Bahay Kubo is a house in the Philippines during the days when there is no bricks or concrete yet It is made if bamboo and nipa..the roof is made of coconut leaves or anahaw leaves ( national leaves if the Philippines)
I'm a Filipino but I have never seen these places, thank you so much for your effort to go to these places and show it to us and the world. God Bless you Mergim..
Hello there. Wow, now you are on a treaking trip there, Mergim! The poeple there are amazingly friendly and peaceful. It was said recently that an old palace was discovered there. You seem to be not used in hiking or treaking. Hehehe. We can hear you catching your breath in the camera. Ate Maricar seems to just have took it without sweat there. Hehehe. I just can't imagine how tough it is for the children to need to take that daily high treak trail just to go to their classes. The view is so splendid on top.
That is why I love my hometown Antique.Very quite with amazing nature and still unexplored .But the tourist guide did not even mention anything about the island...what a pity 😊.
The guy that told you about Finn Snow is from Iceland. He has now a yacht that's open for booking f u want to tour the islands of the Philippines, he can also bring u to the most beautiful diving spots mergim.
Panay Island is a place to visit …. Iloilo, Guimaras,Kalibo, Antique and Capiz love this place so much! . Can’t wait to go home and visit all this place again.
Welcome to Antique Mergim! Antique where mountains meet the sea. Please drop by at the Coop Ocean View Resort in Barbaza when you go next to the south and to the capital.
Finn Snow and the rest of the Fighter Boys (Becoming Filipino, Bret Maverick, Daniel Marsh, Finn Snow, Fearless and Far). Maybe you can tag along to one of their adventures someday.
@@El_.5794 Of course! How can I forget about Kumander Daot? I love that guy! Except for Fearless and Far, they can have a bisaya speaking challenge. Kumander Daot will best them all and Kulas for sure is 2nd. For intonation, Bret and Daniel will ace it.
Nipa huts were the native houses of the indigenous people of the Philippines before the Spaniards arrived. They were designed to endure the climate and environment of the Philippines. These structures were temporary, made from plant materials like bamboo. The best Filipino agalog translation for the English word nipa hut. The English word "nipa hut" can be translated as the following word in Tagalog báhay-kubo “Bahay kubo” means “country house”
We do not have a country house. Those are US terms only. Bahay Kubo or Nipa Hut is the humbled house of our heritage. It's been a house for our ancestors even until now you can still see bahay Kubo as the main house. Today, bahay Kubo is widely used in resorts, beaches and some other reastaurants. But it will never be a country house in terminologies.
@@jeken291 thanks for correcting me. but the bahay kubo or nipa hut is usually found among our countrymen who live in the mountains. because the bamboo and anahaw leaves to make the roof of the hut are taken for free from the mountain.
@@alice.wonder yes. That's right. But the term Country house is only for US. Because country house, are meant for those who leave in the in the country-side. Remember there are Country songs genre? Because those terms are applicable only in the US. Their country house are well built house as well but it just so happened it was in their countryside. Compared to our humbled bahay Kubo, which mostly came from natural and organic materials. Our country side versions are the provinces, barrios and alikes. The Rural areas. But bahay Kubo will never be a country house. In today's generations, the bahay Kubo gained more useful function other than being a typical farm and provincial houses. As what I've shared, bahay Kubo now adays are being used in resorts, beaches and even restaurants. That is why. But I get your point. It's just that bahay Kubo or just simply kubo is not the bahay Kubo we used to know before
@@jeken291 like what I said, They were designed to endure the climate and environment of the Philippines. there is one song i remember it was sung by JOHN DENVER and the title of this song is "take me home"....
Hi Mergim…the scenery up top is stunning💚 That was an amazing drone shots! Overnight stay in the nipa hut is nice and cheap💙 Few steps away is the ocean 🩵 Thanks for the lovely vlog. Enjoyed this video very much.
Hoping you can visit the legit Batanes someday. My hometown with gorgeous rolling hills with unique landscape and seascape but what makes it special to tourist was the people.
The Philippines is the most beautiful country in the world as we are in the middle of the ocean thus we have no land boundary like ThIland, Singapore I mean we are not a continent country we are in the middle of the ocean. We are paradise country ...
Awesome view! That town sure is being supported by the LGU nice seeing a lots of solar panels. It would be great to live once a while a peaceful like that ( WITH INTERNET PLEASE) You should brought a stick for support hehe. MORE ADVENTURES TO COME! THANK YOU FOR BRINGING US PLACES weren't able to visit yet!
Hi mergin! I guess u better go to Batanes for u to see the beauty of it..u can watch Finn Snow vlog...part one n part two with his girlfriend sherlyn..I highly recommended this vlogs b'coz it's really very nice 👍😊
Visayas and Mindanao area is what foreign vloggers loves to visit. They don't like much in the north maybe it's because the environment is congested, polluted and toxic unlike the Visayas and Mindanao the nature is stunning
Wow! That’s a nice looking clean island village, Philippine standard of course. Awesome view from the top of the hill. Good place for camping.Loved this vlog.👍🏼❤️
i was intrigued by madja-as park you mentioned in the end so i looked it up. it's really really nice. i'd like to say i'm baffled as to why it's not more famous but at this point, i'm not really surprised anymore. Pinas really needs to step up promoting these places. thanks to you and other 'off the beaten path' vloggers, my friends and I have way more options now for vacay.
Hi..Bro..goodjob bro for that adventure in the mountain of Batanes..many beautiful islands there to visit,amazing islands than other spot..just visit the other side..like Alaska with rocks formation cold places there..👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽..
Mergim. FinnSnow, Bisayang Hilaw, TriFate Lifestyle, Calvin Castiel are one of the few vloggers who reach the PH in most places than any other foreign vloggers.

Thanks Mergin for your Batanes vlogg. I haven"t been there. Now i feel like I have seen the place because of your vlogg amazing thank you, and more power . We support you
This is batanes island separate from Northern Luzon . This batanes is composed of couple islands situated near Taiwan, but right now we have american bases on the other island watching carefully the activities of Chinese navy roaming near the strait of Taiwan..
I have enjoyed this video so much! Love the walks you went through cemented walkways there houses to houses, even finding a couple sari-sari stores. Even the elementary school being up there going up through those steps finding sort of hidden there is just fascinating to me, finally, those kids hopping/jumping the steps reminds me of me as a kid in my elementary school. Beautiful island! Might visit there someday! Subbed! 🙂
Sa hotel at iba pa na high-end touristy place my training ang empleyado bago ma hire at malaki pa suweldo ano aasahan mo sa isang remote na lugar kundi mga taga-roon din, kamag o mga kaibigan ng may-ari o nasa puwesto☺

My country is blessed with so many beautiful islands. I wouldn’t have seen Madison if you hadn’t taken an adventure there. Thanks!
It's Mararison Island and not Madison Island! Mararison Island is part of Antique Province in Western Visayas.😊
That island it looks very peaceful. I love it.
We went there during our Panay Island road trip. We stayed at one of the huts for a night. It was basic but we had fun ❤😁
Mergim -- The "shoe-lace" cut was very nice indeed. To answer your question: I can't wait until you vlog Batanes.
Long way to go, before he reach Batanes Island up North. He is still in the area of Antique Province, Panay Island..
Oh Batanes would be dope!
Not all vloggers have covered Batanes.... and that even makes it more precious!
Mergim the explorer❤❤❤❤❤❤
Called the New Zealand of the Philippines. Thank you, Mergim. Nipa hut is called bahay kubo.

Good job mergim you got a beautiful shot from the island....
This is an awesome video Mergim thx again for the content . It’s great how you show us less traveled areas!

Hi mergin! I guess u better go to Batanes for u to see the beauty of it..u can watch Finn Snow vlog...part one n part two with his girlfriend sherlyn..I highly recommended this vlogs b'coz it's really very nice 👍😊
You made it to Culasi. The governor of Antique is from that town but of course is based in San Jose the capital town.
That island is so common here in the Philippines. We have more than 7,100 islands still to explore. Batanes is more beautiful and unique.
The Philippines actually has 7,641 islands in total!
@@rm_alfaro7,164 islands & islets
Visayas and Mindanao area is what foreign vloggers loves to visit. They don't like much in the north maybe it's because the environment is congested, polluted and toxic unlike the Visayas and Mindanao the nature is stunning
People would probably be flocking to that island start from now, I bet
Amazing few minutes adventure. Such a beautiful view.
Wow! That’s a nice looking clean island village, Philippine standard of course. Awesome view from the top of the hill. Good place for camping.Loved this vlog.👍🏼❤️
Wow,beautiful scenery of Batanes.Thanks Sir mergim for exploring the island❤Nevercseen that place.❤😊

Yah it's looks like batanes. My father is from antique but I haven't explore it yet. Maybe nextime. 😊
HOME🤩 THANKYOU FOR VISITING OUR ISLANDS
It's more fun in the Philippines! 😁
What a beautiful island!
Hi Mergim, happy to see you in Batanes, enjoy the beautiful Batanes
My wife had suggested you visit Hinugtan Beach in Baruanga next time you're in Culasi coz you had probably left by the time this video was out
Fantastic view 💙 good job mergim , I thought u were in Batanes Island 🤙🫶

So you bathe together? 😁😁😁
I think you mean Toilet. 😉
Kinky charot
CR

Its good u back in phil i know batanes is nice iwas planning to go too when i going homec
20:40 wonderful view of the island.. ❤❤❤
I noticed that the color of the soil is reddish .. not black soil .. we call that in Tagalog “pulang lupa” or red soil
mukhang sagana sa nickel ang isla na yan.
You need to visit Batanes. On dry season in the Philippines.
Wow! Love the view its like in a movie
Thanks Mergin for your Batanes vlogg. I haven"t been there. Now i feel like I have seen the place because of your vlogg amazing thank you, and more power . We support you
This is in Antique tho, in the Visayan region.
Batanes is up north.
Batanes is more beautiful than that morison island
Beautiful amazing place thank you ❤️
Wow...amazing..Thank you very much
Hi mergim where is Kim?
This is batanes island separate from Northern Luzon . This batanes is composed of couple islands situated near Taiwan, but right now we have american bases on the other island watching carefully the activities of Chinese navy roaming near the strait of Taiwan..
It's not Batanes it's Antique.

Hahahaha there is no mosquito by the ocean or beach I was grew up by sea side we don’t worry about mosquitoes specially if windy
Been to this island. It has really nice sunset 😍
This is the kind of place you should go. Please go to the real Batanes next time. You can see Taiwan from there.
Bring mineral water with you. Stay safe & God bless you.
That mountain (Mt. Madja-as) across Mararison Island is the tallest in Panay Island.
Nice video Drone shots of the Islands. Was Taiwan islands the neighbors of this little village in Batanes Island
