- An Inspiring Filipino Manong who I met in a local Philippines mountain village looked at me and said:
"You are the first. You are number one."
I was the first Canadian to explore here in the mountains of Kalinga. In this video you will see a VERY INSPIRING DAY for me. I found myself in a village surrounded by beautiful rice terraces and hanging out with two local Manongs. They invited me into their home, offered me coffee, and we learned a lot about each other. Not only that...
I learned a lot about how BEAUTIFUL the people are here in Kalinga and the Philippines.
Meet the inspiring Manongs of Lubuagan!
Power On!

one thing i observed a lot about people coming from the city( not all) judges mountain people by their look.. take for example manong's look.. farmer clothing, dripping with sweat looks poor..but the big twist their is .. they are rich and their houses are big ..but they are really humble .. and they welcome any in their house without judging them...
beautiful people really..
Yes so true and look like his children were educated and finished school
@@judithabdon4773 Hi Judith, based from experienced and growing up in Mankayan, Igorot people, most of them own big farmlands and some are mining company stockholders. Igorots do not scream to the world and broadcast what they have and what they accomplished unlike some regions and that's what amazing. Just like everybody, my parents came to Mankayan for one reason, employment and opportunity for their children to have better life which is education. Mining company gave them that opportunity. There are more highly educated people in this area compared to some regions in the nation.
Big right...rather than stay in city like Manila in filthy house doing beggars...
@@amyban-os6242 This is the reason why I became Kulas' vlogg follower. He is so brave hopping from one town to another without guide showcasing to our politicians the good and bad of our country and what needs to be done. He might not be talking literally but his videos speaks volume and loud. There are many roads in the cordillera area that need widening, paving and improvement. Kulas' video became a voice for people that doesn't have one. Igorot community had been misrepresented and misperceived as well. Kulas' video is bringing awareness that Igorots are like the rest of the people in the nation. There are many foreigners living in the country but very few came forward to open what's there to explore and see to far places.
@@loriechilson925 true... I'm also igorot from Tublay... thx to Kulas for showcasing the Codillera
true pilipino.....very hospitable, never take advantage on anyone ....i am so proud of you manong Teddy!
Hi idol..padalaw naman sa tahanan ko.salamat
we are known to be the most hospitable in philippines. kalinga free coffee free board and lodging hehehe
@@deypiserl3211 sad to say only for foreigners. Maybe friends or during fiesta, but fellow Filipino strangers will never even bat an eye. Filipinos are only interested for the white skinned that's why we are welcoming.
he is too embarrass to take the shirt, and was concern that, you will have nothing to wear for yourself. that is as real sincerity at it's best.
he is friendly and. nice. adventurer fearlees brave and seriously real in any thing he does goodluck to your journey in our own philippines canadian be careful too
Manong Teddy’s reaction to you when you were giving your shirt made me cry. He is such a good hearted man. Not taking advantage, very kind and once again showing what a true Filipino hospitality is. God bless you brother Teddy. Kulas, . thank you for showing us far away places in the Philippines. Your good natured and friendly personality attracts people. May God protect you always.
@@domaticnot all Filipino's the others are not
@@domaticthe Filipino's in the villages are good but the Filipino's in the cities are not
Do you know that giving away the shirt on your back or shoe or anything that you are wearing is one of the traits of a Filipino just to show gratitude and friendship? Mang Teddy will remember you forever. And you just became truly a Filipino.
Just seen the latest video and Manong Teddy still has the shirt..
@@xdigitalricex yeah, they kept it
Giving him the shirt off your back is a sincere sign of your friendship with manong. It made me teary about your gesture. You and manong are both good men. Ingat. Amping
Grabe nga ehhh 😭😭😭 Nakakataba ng Puso ... Atleast si Manong Ed experience something na di niya inasahan sa buonh buhay niya 😭😭
Apo ted really misses his childens
That guy man . He's so kind and nice and warm . What a freaking cool dude
J M Kalinga folks are one of the most hospitable people in the world, for sure.
You have s friend for life now..if you actually have time to stay with this people(kalingas) or we Igorots ,we treat things so differently I am sure you feel the comparison after staying for five years in Mindanao, but as you say if you are nice you will be treated nice this applies to everywhere.. that is such s gesture, what you did at the end! Giving your shirt.. we Love you Kulas..
Indeed,proud igorot here3❤❤❤❤❤
manong teddy is one of example of filipino with a heart
Nothing beats Filipino hospitality. I miss Kalinga my homeland :)
Me too my beloved ❤️
I wish to mark my footprint over this Highlander....for a cause.
enjoy bro in our pinoy brod,

Yes its True, kalinga is very respectful people and hospitality., Proudly kalinga here.
Kulas- Manong Teddy told you "Dios ti Kumuyog" which means God be with you.
there was a joke , someone said "Dios ti kumuyog",so ok the man was on the road,then he tripped and fell,he got up and said ok "kumuyog kayo ah ngem haan kayo agiduron.😂😂😂
Funny! It sounds like Ilokano. My ancestors are Ilokanos. I only speak English. So sad!
most elderly would say dios ti kumuyog for travellers which means god will keep you safe so nice of manung teddy showing hospitality
OKRA YOLA I love Manong Teddy. He is so cool. He is the embodiment of kindness. God bless him.
Padalaw naman guys dto sa tahanan ko..salamat
I really love how you interacted with the locals. If only they have TH-cam accounts, I’m pretty sure they’ll subscribe. You deserve more subscribers because you go deeper into the communities, and not just touristy places visited by so many vloggers. Good luck on your adventures to my home country. Love from an Igorot but currently an OFW here in Tokyo.
I wish internet is all accessible in the cordillera so that they will watch Kulas on youtube, he went so far far away.
They are quite similar with Mark Weins...love to interact with local people in remote areas...so much respect for both of them🙏
the girl from yesterday I love Mark Wiens,too. You should subscribe to Best Ever Food Review Show (If you haven’t).He travels for food and has a real good sense of humor.
@@MsFiercetiger i already did...long time ago😊I love him too...they collaborated with Mark Weins before...
the girl from yesterday Seems that we are following the same vloggers. Apir! We might have the same interests.
your the best travel vlogger in the pinas kulas!! #1 !!
Agree
Agree!!!
Agree
Very true and he's a hell of a good person also!!
True
I can tell Manong Teddy reminded you of his son. That man will surely remember you for the rest of his life, thank you for bringing love and happiness around Kulas. You take care!
yeah,he probably misses his son so much seeing Kulas remind him of him...human connection at its purest.
the vlogger with the heart. less drama, less relationship just more aventure, that's why you are my best & number vlogger. You are now- Kulas the explorer.
Thank you kulas, for loving us and so our country
There is a thing i recognize about you "you can't resist kape"
Lani Sy hehe...I noticed that too! He was about to go to the school but when he heard Manong Teddy offering coffee, he can’t resist the kape. Which I totally I understand because I love coffee too 😊☕️
Same here. I never say no to coffee.
I really love your reports most when you are traveling alone, much more close to nature and the locals, it shows so different, heartful. Thanks a lot.
I feel the same way - while the Fighter Boys is obviously very popular to much of Kulas' followers, I prefer these kind of videos because it feels like a real picture of the real people. Fighter Boys stuff should be on their own channel, I think. :^)
My Austria philippines live post Something
Ozzumm! Incredible indeed😲
When you handed that shirt to Manong Teddy, it was the most genuine sign of friendship ever. I really felt it.❤️
that was awesome
that was awesome.
It's like a pact, saying I'll be your FRIEND FOREVER!!!
I agree! I felt it on tv and in the hear. True golden heart and kindness
You make Filipino and Canadian can be friends again. If foreigners respect our country they will be respect in return. Thanks for showing this to the world. Filipino will love you.
you have won Filipino hearts, now you already have the filipino heart too. God bless you Kulas.
Wow that is the GOLD standard for travel vlogging! ❤️❤️❤️
It truly is. He interacts more with the locals not just showing us these beautiful places.
Friend of the masses
Humanitarian
Adventurer
Peacemaker
Kulas a real Filipino
So nice open he’s home and a cup of coffee
That’s a true Filipino
i love what kulas is doing.. he's not only exploring the beauty of the Philippines but also the beauty of the Filipino people.
It’s BARAKO guys! Imagine how amazing their conversation while drinking that coffee? And he found new brother 👍👍👍
You are a good person kulas! thats so sweet of u to give your shirt to manong teddy, makes me cry...❤️
This vlog shows the Filipino hospitality. They're so kind they offer what little they have to make their guest feel welcomed. They even asked you to spend the night. Thank you Kyle 👍✌️🤙🙏
Manong Teddy said “ Dios ti kumuyog” means God bless you Kulas , you deserve a million subscriber
Manong Teddy is the greatest example of pure kindness. Everything about this video brought me to tears. I've been following Kulas since he started vlogging and for me, this is the best vlog he's ever done. My heart is full. God bless Manong Teddy, and you, Kulas.❤❤❤
Pinoy na Pinoy talaga,, imagine asking an apology for no bread, just coffee.. a true pilipino by heart and by blood.. just like Kulas...
Dios ti kumuyog,said Mg Teddy...meaning..God be with you,Kulas...Thank you for showing us the mountains east of my home province Ilocos Norte...I long for home....
I'm speechless while my tears flows down from my eyes while watching this video as well as the other you had uploaded... God bless you Kulas and Manong Teddy...
Of all the foreign vloggers kulas are one of the best. Has a huge Filipino heart ❤️ love from Cebu city 😘
Did someone chop onions here? Now i have to punch the wall to feel manly again.
Kulas, you are so awesome! The whole Philippines is so lucky to have you. Take care always.

@Jc Manalo, You aren't the only one!
Me too ... I cried hiding my tears from my kids

Congress should start your naturalization process. This guy deserves to become a real Filipino. I WOULD APPEAL TO Secretary Puyat.
Indeed! Pero, Pare, this guy is already Filipino... heck, more so than many Filipinos!
Yup do sir👍kulas deserve that! Pls give him a place to the tourism department.
BIG FAt YES for Kyle to Be naturalized Filipino

True
Kyle, Uncle Jerry said; "God be with you."
Dami kc holdaper dyan. Isa nko sa nkaranas ng holdap dyan bago makarating sa spring galing kami sa sabungan ni wacnang.
My heart is absolutely bursting with pride. Well done Manong Teddy. Your heart is truly kind. 🙏❤
kulas I just fall inlove to that guy... he is just so nice and trying to protect you all the way....so nice of you,you give your Canada top salute to you man.
You bring tears in my eyes Kulas... Ur best video ever.. Manong Teddy salamat for helping, assisting Kulas,,, MOST of all for the hot coffee a simple gesture of hospitality and of welcoming Kulas to ur home. God bless you both. The BEST blog ever - hands down.
Filipino hospitality is
Priceless! How friendly they are even in the deepest barangay they are.
Feeling so emotional of their gestures. May God bless them.🙏❤😇🥰👍
Kulas, out of all of the travel videos I’ve watched of the Philippines, this is truly the first on that pulled on my heart strings. We’re planning a trip there with my whole family and this will be the first time my children will see the country. We live in the Metro D.C. area in the U.S. We’re planning to celebrate our youngest daughter’s 14th birthday in the Cordlilleras Mountains and I hope that it will be memorable for her. These past few videos have been so insightful.
It also explains why my dad does what he does here when he meets strangers (like what the Kalinga brother did). In D.C. it’s an odd thing, but I hope it will always continue through to my children and future generations. Acts of kindness and love are invaluable.
This kind of positivy should be spread everywhere! Despite of negative news showed by the media, you (kulas) never fails to show the goodness of many Filipinos! How naturally kind and hospitable deeply rooted we are without the influence of money and politics, and you are truely one of us kulas. Thank you.
You are too good to be true, Kulas! You are wonderful! That's my mom's home province. God bless you an keep you!
FYI Kulas KALINGA speaks by its real meaning Kalinga means n. care; patronage; support; refuge given.
I'm so proud of Kalinganuns very hospitable, gives tear to my eyes.
Mayat ta kunam kabsat nga hospitable kayo dita kalinga. Haan nga dyay madamdamag idi nga nariribok dayta ili yo kn dyay kuna da nga agputputid da kano iti ulo dita.
@@ERSUN1000 Usto nga agputputod da ti ulo manong dagijay igorot kase culture da dejay ngem nabayagen nga saan san. Tattan san ket kayo ti kaslang kasukat na.
The local guy just proves me how hospitable and warm Filipinos are. He welcomed a stranger and offered him a coffee. Genuinely kind realness!!!
Manong Teddy is a good person. You’re blessed Kulas to met such good people.
Indeed. They are as beautiful as the place. Mang Teddy is so nice that he's so concerned for you that he offered a kape to energize you on your journey.
Incredible person like you Kulaz always bump to to nice people, that's really a genuine friendship giving your favorite shirt,like what i said before you would experienced Kalinga hospitality in villages and manong just following you just to make sure you are safe back to your motorcycle...that 2 small house that you saw in the middle of the rice field are the rice barn....
Manong has a great heart that he misses his son who is serving filipinos on the other side of the country is an amazing story.
We can smell fighter boys 3 in that place. I bet his son is a good person too.
There is God. How beautiful is his creation. Thank you Kulas.
Its amazing how you connect to locals Kyle. Really, the people that you met along your journey are the pinnacle of your vlogs. Manong Teddy is so astig! Another classic example of Filipino hospitality. Keep it up!
as your were leaving the last word Manong said was "take care, may God be with you as your travel"...
The scenery around you is awesome, but what is heavenly is the inter-action you had with the locals especially Manong Teddy. Kindness is infectious and i am hoping everyone get the virus "humilititus". Thank you for sharing Kulas, you are indeed a great one.
WoW.. I'm speechless with manong... When you sow kindness, you also reap kindness... Thank you Kulas...
Best coffee is from Kalinga especially being served by a wonderful heart of Filipinos :)
Helfred Valenzuela I agree
Wherever u go kulas u are surrounded by the friendliest people coz ur the man with a golden heart and so manong teddy
My heart soften as you talk to the locals
and my tears suddenly drops
What a gesture of friendship, truly if you give love to your fellow it will be given back to you ten thousand folds. Thank you mr kulas.
I cried when you hand him the shirt. Tears of joy. You love the Filipinos , Kulas.
Yes, I really love that scene when Kulas took off his Canadian T-shirt. Mang Teddy was reluctant to accept it because he will be travelling without a top shirt because Mang Teddy knows it was cold in the mountain. Mang Teddy really had a heart of gold. Thank you Mang Teddy for showing our Filipino hospitality at its best.
A very down to earth vlog. You have a very contagious attitude.....so thankful you shared this😊
Thanks for visiting Kalinga, my beloved province, Kulas. My son's nickname is also Kulas. Love your vlogs. You're a true Filipino by heart.
Thats why Filipinos love you Kulas! You had heart of GOLD!
You're such a kind hearted man Kyle, you deserve to be recognized ! I can't control my tears when you hand over your shirt to Manong Teddy, PURE hearted man you are. Take the best OF care always. God bless you more !
Ur travel up north is the best so far.. Getting into the remotest part.. More power kulas! U have had showcased the grassroot culture of Filipinos.. Helpful and kind..
Filipino hospitality at its best! Nice experience of Apayao & Kalinga. Take care always Kulas and God bless you more!
Apayao is different from kalinga. These are two distinct province.
By far the greatest video ive seen in terms of buiding connection and friendship, makes me proud to be a Cordilleran, thanks for showcasing, if only the whole world could watch this, many things will change, could make the world a better place
I don’t even know what to say....that was absolutely beautiful Kulas! Wow! Your interactions with the locals are so incredibly natural. I got a bit emotional when you gave your Canada shirt to Teddy ☺️
You and Finn always giving back to other people makes you both my favorite vlogger in PH.
"MY HEART IS FULL"....you made me cry Kulas…!!!
I was intrigued with your last video so I went to search the root of it. You melted my heart and gave me teary eyes. I was so touched. I can see and feel the exchange of simple joy you and Teddy had given to each other, in which was shared to us viewers as well. Thank you Kulas. I really love watching your videos. It brings a smile to my face and warmth to my soul. Take care.
teary-eyed with this vlog. hats off to manong teddy and to you too kulas.
I’m glad you had the chance to visit my beloved province. Kulas, you are an awesome and humble person. Thank you so much!
This is the reason why I chose to live here in Campbell River(Vancouver Island) because of the people and the nature that reminds me of home. Simple and happy life! Keep safe and God bless!
I'm proud of Mang Teddy and I'm glad you met him but what you did at the end of the video Kulas just amazes me you just don't know how you made Mang Teddy happy , he didn't want to accept it because he was worried about you.. Mabuhay ka Kulas, it may just be a shirt but it means a lot to him!
Out of nowhere... A stranger offers you a cup of coffee.. That is wow...!!!
Coffee is life ☕
Kulas, I'd like to send manong Teddy some gifts for his kindness and hospitality. Do you know his address where I can send it? He has a heart of gold.
Send it to me 😊
He's in kalingga apayaw philippines
Mr teddy don't want to accept the t-shirt of kulas bcoz tedy said no left for you and you're travelling way back home..
He's in Duyaas upper uma kalingga apayaw
Teddy Magellan, Brgy. Upper Uma, Lubuagan, Kalinga-Apayao, Philippines
Kuya Teddy is a guardian angel, he followed you all the way just to make sure you get back safe during the trek from the village.
You did not have anything of material value but you gave your shirt to manong, and it is the kindest gesture from a foreigner to the Kalinga native and that he will remember for a long time, power on young man!
Pure awesomeness!
That guy has a pure heart ... he looked with deep concern when you handed him your Shirt thinking you need it most in your travel on mcycle having left barely a "pawad" (sleeveless) shirt...
There's a lot of people like that in the Philippines specially in the province .Our car broke down in Batangas few years ago and these older couple invited us into their home, cook us dinner and the following morning , lolo went to the closest shop in the barangay and brought the mechanic while we were sleeping . Before we left , they even gave us a bayong full of Indian mangoes. It's crazy how much rivers they're willing to cross just to take care of their bisitas Stop watching too much news , there are way more decent and kind people in the world than the bad ones.
This is so true! Thanks for sharing man.
wow so nice
Genuine Filipino hospitality. Better words could not be spoken. If people would get away from their TVs and the drama it submits them to, the world just might be a better place. Get out and enjoy the joys of the real world!
Such kind-hearted people.
I had a really happy childhood in the Philippines. I played outside, climbed trees, danced in the rain, and basically played until the sunset. I´m Filipino-Canadian. I was born there but grew up in Vancouver. Your videos reminded me of what I had left behind.
im confused, did you grow up in the phillipines or vancouver? or did you only move to vancouver after primary school?
Pilipino hospitality at it's finest. you will feel the genuine heart of welcoming. hope someday you can visit again brother teddy. nice one kulas
That was beautiful. Almost brought tears to my eyes. How simple, and kind manong Teddy was. The location is remote, peaceful, beautiful and wildly natural. Giving him your shirt was really touching. He kept saying nakakahiya. He was embarrassed to receive your gift.
Kulas, you have found TRUE HAPPINESS. The simplest things has the biggest joys. Respect to you for what you do and who you are.
To all who wacthed this blog..... Let us be fair to Kulas he deserve a million subscriber..... thank you Kulas for showing the true beauty of the phillipines and it's people...😁😁😁
THE most beautiful video so far kyle...thank you for this...it's AWESOME!...
That is true Kulas when you have a good intention you will meet the right people. I can't get enough of your stunning shots. Exceptional. Keep safe kulas.🙋♀️
This was so genuine and pure. You truly bring out the best in your vlogs kulas doesn't matter where, who.. Wow I was moved.
This made me teary eyed! I remember when you left Cindy in Batanes because you loved the place and the people so much and now you gave your shirt that you always wear in most of your vlogs to Manong. God already blessed your heart, Kulas! Be safe always.
Teddy is adorable! He offered you his home and coffee without expecting anything in return 💙 I never grew up with a Lolo, but he reminds me of what a Lolo figure would be. He just met you, but you could tell he really cares.
I just found myself crying watching this video knowing that someone who's color differs to us is more likely to be a true Filipino than other Filipinos by blood. God bless you pareng Kulas! You inspired my heart to be as Pinoy as you through exploring our beloved and beautiful country, Pilipinas.
Thank you Kulas for visiting these remote places in the Cordilleras and connecting with its people. Kalinga is beautiful!🙌👍❤️
this episode is RAW..i got emotional watching the video, made me think and realize how lucky i am with the things i have.. THANK YOU KULAS, MUCH RESPECT
What do you mean, these aren't less fortunate people, they've got their own farms and houses unlike most people who live in the city or urban areas,in squatter areas or renting people with no stable jobs or life stability, these people love their place and can't leave it with its natural resources and legacy, setting aside the beauty bc they can't see/appreciate it themselves as they're very used of the views.Apologies in advance,if I got you wrong.
@@vwashington9992 I have access to almost everything, while they don't. Although what you said is correct, they are still in poor state, living far away from cities, with no access on government assistance, no healthcare, remote area with undeveloped roads. Don't get me wrong, i'm more than happy for them, but they are still in poor state.
first class hospitality there kulas! proud of my fellow filipino, rock on manong!
I’m a Filipino Kulas and I’m already residing here in Canada but I’ve never been to these beautiful places. Just so awesome! I just watch your video to see these beautiful places you have been. Salamat Kyle!!
Just watched this today. It may be two years old but this clip made me teary eyed. I wonder how's brother Teddy now. Keep it up and thank you for showing us this.
You,'re such a simple but amazing person kulas, you always show what and who you really are in a natural way...I'm not comparing you to others but thru your actions,its shows that you really love what you are doing...how you interact to people you met,there is always sign of respect,humility and love of everything...God bless you always...
Manong is too shy in getting your shirt because he's worried that you dont have one...💕👍
mga lumang tao mas may respeto at dignidad pa kesa sa edukado sa siyudad
Your journey is so interesting! Can't wait to see more! 😁
So glad to have browsed your old videos Kulas. What you did to manong at the end is just beautiful. You made the old man happy. You inspire me.
Manong Teddy is so kind to tag along with you back to your motorcycle. This vlog is so full of heart. You showed us the simplicity of life. I guess you always meet good people for you to spread that there are a lot of goodness on earth aside from you really have a good heart thats why you are always blessed.
