At age 69 I spent the night in Batad. I even walked to the waterfalls, which is quite treacherous. Three months later I found out that I had cancer that had metastasized to both lungs, I’m doing ok right now and would like to do it again at age 72.
you are a warrior...all the best to you!
Enjoy every breath, keep fighting by doing what you think best for you. I'm bless I don't have problem but life is no guarantee. I might go before you. Good luck bud, extend your life a bit more.
Are you American Sir? So sorry to hear about your illness... take good care

wow that's a miracle! stay strong mr paul!
Really hoping to visit the Philippines next year. We're excited about the diving there.
Philippines beautiful magical country. And it's not only beaches to see there, there are different kinds of landscape and biggest treasure - people! Happy to live here.
Wow! I think you're the first vlogger that really went down there, thank you so much for giving us a close up view of the terraces. 😍👍💞💕🇵🇭
Great video Jason! Love the work you are putting into your channel! I am currently travelling INDIA 🇮🇳 with the hopes of becoming a travel vlogger just like you! Thanks for the inspiration 😊👌
and you have more subs than him! congrays
Welcome to the Philippines
Did it feel like you travelled 2000 years back in time as you meandered through the narrow paths and the small villages? I can just imagine each of those volcanic rocks used for the retaining walls being carried by the ancient Ifugaos that carved the sides of those mountains to turns them into the magnificent terraces.
Been there many times. Heavenly..makes me wanna go back again and again
Goosebumps! Wow, I'm not really sure if where is Batad as i always go to Banaue and Sagada, too jealous to have not been in this heavenly place, If you can't visit Batanes, this is surely an option or better! Thanks man, i'm proud to be Filipino❤️🇵🇭
There was a scene on the movie avengers: infinity war where Thanus sat down and lived where he was killed by avengers, it was taken at the viewpoint of the banaue rice terraces. Amazing u been there, wish i have that strong leg
How do you get here from Manila??
Lovely video, Jason! It looks a blissful place. It's been 25 years since I last visited the Philippines. I'd like to return within the next 2 years and will definitely visit this part of the country. Stay safe.
I admire your bravery to travel alone in the village at the same time I'm so jealous to see how beautiful the place you've been to. I hope like you I can visit Batad soon.
I am hours away from this beauty i hve never seen before. Thanks for showing this. Great stuff
That's beautiful location...!! Eid Mubarak to you and all people watching your vlogs.
oh my God Philippines is really one big heaven on earth. thanks Jason
Filipino here, all my life I have never set foot in the cordillera region. Amazing place !
Thank you for this. I was there over 20 years ago ! It still looks magical ! I am now in my 50's.
batad rice terraces is among the world heritage site in the world by UNESCO. and may be among the 'wonders of the world' list. a must-place to visit.
Wow is the word! Thank you for sharing your video of Batad. It is truly ... more fun in the Philippines.
Really heavenly in Philippine
The Philippines is one of the most beautiful countries I've ever visited
Amazing! Thanks for sharing your adventures, I am learning a lot about places that I never knew existed!
This place is unreal! Nice work bro ;)
Ahh Amazing and Interesting 😍😍
Thank you Jason for this lovely video of Batad. Your video brings back memories of my trip to Batad/Ifugao about 30 years ago. Starting from Batad I made a 3-day trek with a local school teacher. We slept in local peoples houses which gave me an insight into the lives of the local people. They all were very friendly. I remember, we brought salt, tobacco and biscuits as presents for the people. Unforgettable memories.
My hometown, it's really a beautiful place to visit!
It's making me feel woozy just watching how narrow and steep your hike path looks. Wow, I'd be a bit nervous doing that hike. :) However, it it amazingly beautiful!
Thanks for the memories of this incredible one day hike to the falls and back. I did this precisely ten years ago in 2010 when I was 58 years old with a a small group of travellers younger than myself. I must admit that I challenged myself to beat those younger people back up that steep hillside to the top which I did. However in the jeepney on that extremely bumpy drive back to Banaue I started suffering such horrendous pain in my lower back that I had to get out and lay on the road awhile. I ended up in the Banaue hospital overnight. Heat exhaustion may have been the cause or perhaps dehydration from the intense sweating of the hike. Forever etched in my memory bank as one of the great hikes along with the hike up to Machu Picchu etc
You should have rested for some minutes and not trekked it nonstop. Even us who live there have to admit that we can never beat those long, narrow winding paths.
BTW, i had never visited that place but we have a similar rice terrace and mountain view in my parents hometown.
I was there in the late 90s and huts had traditional roof thatching and blended with the environment. The huts built since use corrugated metal which makes it an eyesore in the middle of this pristine place.
Yeah as much as i'd like to preserve the native houses built out of dried grasses, i'm not in the position to change the minds of our politicians. Money is more important and well, it's the houseowners' right to modernize their thatched roofs and wooden walls..
But if i were to maintain the beauty and the genuine beauty of Banaue, i would choose to preserve ancient native houses as they were built before by my ancestors.
I love to cherish memories that would bring me inspiration and a sense of connectedness to antics used by my ancient forefathers.
Hmmm... It's a source of personal conflict for me how one who lives with all the convenience of modern age, technology and science, can judge indigenous communities for wanting to enjoy a few of these benefits for themselves... It's great that preservation of culture is advocated, but in this case, maybe let the indigenous communities decide what they want themselves
What I meant was that using corrugated metal means it's a step back because it makes it look like "informal settler" because it rusts and bends. If you use thatched roof then it's more traditional keeping it more in line with the indigenous culture. It's aesthetic blends better with the environment.
@@MrNaysh There are reasons why they chose corrugated sheets for roofing material. Less labor intensive, less costly, easier to place... which are all valid reasons. Yes, we people from the mountains, love tradition, but we are not averse to using modern conveniences, especially if practical. And yes, aesthetics suffer, but try explaining that to people who can only spare enough for GI sheets.
This is one of the best vlogs of batad. Outstanding filming.
Thank you for all the information.
Great job walking. I was your body the next day?
Lester Ager drink lots of ginger tea after the walk LoL
Magnificent shot of Batad Rice Terraces, truly one of the best view of mother nature!!!
Batad is ideal for adventurous Traveller..so you better prepare walking and hiking..the area is quite dangerous coz of the narrow roads but its a worth journey seeing the view of rice terraces..one of the wonders of the world!! Good job Jayson..keep safe always! Enjoy staying in the Philippines
Amazing...it's a beautiful place...thanks for sharing vlogger jason...
Your videos are incredible. I was born in the Philippines and migrated to the US when I was only 13. Thanks for letting me see a Philippines unknown to me. Incredible photography!
totally beautiful.
Wow the place is stunning and the waterfalls is absolutely insane
Thanks Jason for the video
A hike that you will never forget. Incredibly beautiful. The fact that it's so exhausting makes me even more humble. Thanks and peace.
The work involved over the years chipping away at the hillside, it is a marvel. What’s more marvelous is its never likely to be be spoilt by tourism.
Jason liked the vid those views were really pretty especially the mountains. You should do another one like this as I like vids that shows scenery. :)
You came here at the right time. May-june is the best time to visit batad because its all green. But everyone is required to get a guide, its better to be safe and its one way of helping the community.
An Eye opening video. The rowdy insects in the background made the viewing experience better
those are local cicadas..I think relatives to those in the Mediterranean cicadaz.
Beautiful, thanks for sharing!hope to visit that place too someday!enjoy and have fun
Wow!! Awesome and pristine greenery of beauty!!🤩🤩
OMG! Amazing views, green scenery and the Falls ahhh makes me dip into the water. nice blog by the way :)
2000 years old Banaue never ceases to amaze. Also, they say if you put them all end to end, they would encircle have the globe.
Glad you experience Batad. It is one of my favorite place. Looking forward to your Sagada adventure vlog. Hope you went inside the caves in Sagada...
That place is extremely stunning! I wish I could visit the place
Wow.. the crickets and the insects are such a mood. I love the sound!!
Thanks for this video, don't know jow did it while trekking to the narrow edges...but really a breath taking view when you love nature.Be safe and God bless you Jason!
so beautiful watet falls. and rice terraces.. 🌾🌾👍
Breathtaking😱😓😓
Ok. Those narrow mountainside trails are INSANE! One little misstep and it's HELLO PEARLY GATES!
There are some historians contending the well-known theory that the terraces were constructed 2000 years ago. They argue that they are the result of a more recent phenomenon than previously thought. Such phenomenon is the pressure by the Spanish government to assimilate and live on flat lands. Hence, those who did not like the idea decided to settle in the mountains. They also stated that it is quite insulting for the people who built the terraces to assume that they built such 2000 years ago because if so, then they should have developed other technologies (e.g. wheel, plow, etc) within such long span of centuries.
Btw awesome video!
One of the best videos I ever viewed....thanks for sharing.
Wow very nice water falls,thank you for showing this place

Unique video and very interesting watching rice terraces and life on the mountain.
Nice view bro you captured the whole rice terraces...and i enjoyed watching it..
this is in my top 5 videos of all time, among all travel channels.. its a cross between a trip vlog & professional documentary like that of Lonely Planet or Discovery, but still very relatable.. I like the journey and feel of adventure.. both enjoyable and informative to watch.
