The Philippines Biggest Problem | Siargao, Philippines
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ก.ย. 2024
- Siargao, Philippines - Siargao turned out to be one of my favorite islands in The Philippines, and there are so many incredible things to do in Siargao - hence why it is becoming one of the most popular destinations in The Philippines.
Beyond all the great things to do in Siargao, there is something that I can't overlook - the amount of garbage and pollution in and around the ocean in The Philippines is a very serious problem. It is also a serious problem throughout the world.
This is my Philippines vlog from my day with The Sun Crew in Siargao as they attempt to change the course of history for the better.

TRAVEL DEEPER.
Siargao, Philippines - Siargao Island is becoming one of the most popular travel destinations in The Philippines. Along with Boracay and Palawan, Siargao is a popular Philippines travel island because of their famous surf breaks and laidback atmosphere.
I'm not a very good surfer, so instead, I decided to eat my way around General Luna in between all the things to do in Siargao.
This is a list of my favorite places to eat in Siargao - From smoothies at Shaka and tacos at Miguel's to Pizza at Kermit and grilled fish at Mama's Grill.
Enjoy!

TRAVEL DEEPER.
Inspring, good job! :) Always be shaka
HI fin! :D
I've been to surigao city many times but I never been to siargao. Nice video and good job .
Thank you Finn and Gareth for your videos of tourist destinations of the Philippines :) more power to you guys
finn and gareth you guys are so awesome and realy nice man... i realy appreciate you guys on how you give importance to our country... 😍😘😍
Thanks for this
👇PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE COMMENTING: 👇
1. I am 100% aware that this may not be The Philippines official #1 problem. My goal for this title (and thumbnail) was to get your attention. I call it "click bait with a purpose."
2. As I mention in the video, this is NOT just a huge problem in The Philippines - plastic pollution, especially in our oceans, is a massive issue across the globe.
3. Check out the helpful links in the video description.
4. Come say hi on Instagram: instagram.com/tourist2townie/
5. I hope you understand the goal of this video and THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!
'Click bait with a purpose' I like that Gareth and totally agree with you, once we watch it, it would be hard to criticise.
I am not sure if many people has the geographical orientation of Siargao. Although it is easy to think that locals may be disposing their garbages irresponsibly, we also need to consider where Siargao is located in the Philippine map. This part of the Philippines is facing the Pacific ocean.
The locals can clean everyday and remove all the plastics you can see. However, when typhoon season comes (about an average of 30/yr) the garbage may return, coming from the Pacific garbages that all other countries are responsible for.
On the other hand, great video that contributes to social responsibility!
Steve French Philippines is the third largest source of plastic.
@@taichitanian Talking about sources of plastics, have you any idea that for the past few years the so called developed western nations are dumping containers by containers of uncycled plastics into South East Asian nations? The Philippines president, Mr. Duterte has just announced that if Canada is not taking back these rubbish plastics they shipped to Philippines, he personally will send them back to Canada. "WE will declare war!", this is what he said to Canada.
@@forster5392 They're not 'dumping' it, they pay countries to take it off their hands. No Western country on the planet just 'dumps' its garbage - plastic or otherwise - on developing countries. And the vast majority of the plastic you see on SEA beaches comes from the local community. Thailand is appalling, and thank god that they have just banned plastic bags.
@@BackFromTheMadeUp That's precisely my point. Why can't the West take care of their own rubbish instead of using their filthy money to export (should I use dump) their rubbish to those poor countries that can't even take care of their own rubbish? All these rubbish are imported illegally using the pretext of importing other goods.
@@forster5392 Yeah true, but I think you are confusing a moral and ethical world with reality.
Thank you for addressing this problem. I’m from the US but am currently studying in the Philippines. I’ve never been to better beaches than here, and it breaks my heart to see them as littered as they are. I feel like these beaches and waters are rare treasures, and I’m scared of losing them. Our attitude about trash really needs to change. I do hope more initiatives such as the one shown in this video open our eyes to the problem and prompt us to act more responsibly
@waxy bayona is a typical Filipino who doesn't accept her/his mistakes.
@waxy bayona why you gotta be so rude??..this guy is just commenting about the trash problem and now you want him to leave?..come on.. pick up your own trash at magtino ka, probably because you might be a litterbug na pasaway na pulos tapon paren kahit may karatula na nabawal
waxy bayona, what a dummy you are. remqz is the kind of citizen PHilippines need better than you litterbugs who throw their trash everywhere.
Ungas! Ikaw lumayas.. Isa ka sa nagkakalat sa paligid .. Sira ulo!
@waxy bayona Instead of ranting at remqz why don't you go out of your CAVE and START CLEANING your neighborhood. NGONGO.
"None is ever more impressive than the PHILIPPINES."
We loved this statement, Gareth! Thanks..
GROM NATION! Killin it
Bisayang Hilaw Hello caloy isa pud ko sa imo mga subscribers amping permi loy sa imong mga travel God bless you and all the foriegn vloggers in my beautiful country the Philippines keep inspiring you guys and thank you for loving my country take care always you guys wherever you go.
KALIGOG KINILIS LOY OY!
Lodi kaloy..😁👍
@@jeromemacachor joke ra to ha? Caloy don't worry he's just joking..haha
Great effort... thank you for showing up this issue. I hope the kids will realise how important it is to look after our environment.
i hope youtuber celebrities can allocate their time and effort instead of just fan meet up, they can do charity works/ clean up and do more social awareness to the environment and social advocacy in mental health / issues on bullying and more collaboration in community awareness and also do some partnership with local ngo and products to sponsors some stuff. thanks for opening such wonderful awareness. good health for you always.
@MonMon298 if they profit of it...yes!
@MonMon298 its everyone's resposibilities to clean the environment whether its your trash or not
I want to become such an influencer for sure. That is why I move to the Philippines in december (2019)
you sound like you want to compete in the Miss World.
@@lifestyledesignpro9388 to fish for subscribers and to be like other foreigners who live for the applause.
Great job guys. Amazing the difference a few people can make in a fairly short amount of time. Awesome video, I'm inspired to head back to the Philippines sometime. Where in the world are you now Gareth? You were in the Philippines a while ago now right?
I'm a Filipina but never been to this place yet. I feel so grateful to foreigners who show genuine love for nature especially for our country. Raising awareness not only to tourists like you, but also for us locals to open our eyes and hearts to take care of the beautiful Philippines.
Thank you💜💜💜
kudos to those kids and their mentor, kudos to u as well. environmental awareness is a must for the island community in general. keep it up
+Dennis -- The problem is NOT people throwing garbage carelessly. The problem is LACK OF GARBAGE CONTAINERS. The entire country has few, if any, garbage containers, where people can throw their garbage. Are there garbage containers on street corners? NO. Are there garbage containers on beaches? NO. Are there garbage trucks collecting garbage? NO, because there are no garbage containers on the streets.
In Siargao, we see schoolchildren collecing garbage and putting them into empty rice sacks. Why don't they empty the sacks into garbage containers? Because there are NO garbage containers in the first place. The Mayor should provide garbage containers, so the tourists have a place to throw their empty bags, bottles and wrappers.
This is amazing! This is one of the best videos actions taken towards bettering one country at a time i love love love this points system
It's not always good side. There's alway bad side.. I'm pilipino I preper this kind of vlog... Goodluck to your indevoir
Very impressive and this is a good awareness to the resident of siargao to take care of their island.. 🙏❤️
sir, you did not just highlight the beauty of the island but you focused more on the people and their good deeds! maraming salamat po!🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️
where r d Lady Boys???
I was thinking what comment I can say to your vlogs from episode 1 up to the last, but this vlog says everything! I've seen a lot of vlogs from different bloggers featuring the beauty of the Philippines but this one really moved me. two thumbs up for you Gareth. and thank you for the one day of taking care of my beloved country. mabuhay ka Gareth and God bless your beautiful heart.
I am from Siargao. I love this island very much. It's really sad because trash are everywhere now. Some people are cruel. Littering everywhere is horrible! There is no planet B, so let's take good care of our Mother Earth. Thank you Gareth for doing this. You are an inspiration.
Big respect for making a trash video with a solution! I love the Philippines & wish there were better ways to collect and recycle all the plastic
I am from Taiwan, and we have very good garbage disposal system in Taiwan. What I found the problem in the philippines are:
1. People need to be educated about garbage disposal
2. This country needs proper recycling plans and whoever who can recycle it properly.
3. People dump the garbage everywhere because they can't afford to deliver it to recycling center.
It's not only environmental problems, but also a social problem that everyone in this country is involved in.
Get a chance to visit Mactan. You will see how people do business there but they don't even care about this Island is buried with garbage.
Kuan chung Ting you're right about that, i am new here in Taiwan and i can see how the garbage/trash/waste being handle thru recycling and proper disposal. back in my hometown in Davao City, i always informed neighbors for proper disposal, and yes they stopped littering but it's hard for them to segregate... "sigh" 😥😥
World needs more you tubers like you. Appreciate very much your effort in making the Philippines and the world a cleaner and better place to live in. I’m a FilAm living in California but Philippines will always be home for me.
LOVE this, and how much more I've seen initiatives like this taking place in Southeast Asia! Great vid highlighting such an important issue!!
That's so great to see the children collecting the trash! We're at the end of our travel in the Philippines, and we have been so shocked at the amount of plastic everywhere! But it's the same in the whole of South East Asia! Good job, love that you have shared this kind of content! ❤
Thank you so much Gareth for the concern it has to be address by the community and the Government and to all living on that Island.
Great video as usual Gareth, thanks for sharing 👍
they are not palm trees,they are coconut trees
Hey Legend! I'll be there next week... we've invented the worlds most robust, water proof solar powered light with a battery bank, in-built magnets and hanger etc and water proof... It's for poor communities in places like the Philippines.. The exciting part is I'm negotiating having them actually made there next week! Can't wait to make a difference.. I'll clean a beach too don't you worry')
Nice initiative. God bless
Callum Gillman ...Thank you 🙏 Awareness about tourism trash hasn’t hit the locals yet .... and please please please make the locals made aware of the damage to the Island 🌴 Thank you
Great
Hows your visit in the Philippines?
@@shielamaenovilla4137 ahh covid kinda happened and the boat rides a long one🤣
Trash comes from the ocean, everywhere and end up in beaches in the Philippines similar in Thailand.
Trash are the problems around the world.
Thank u for your kindness protecting the environment. The kids love uuuu. You are very friendly guy.
I just discovered your channel, and its pretty great. I've been living here in the Philippines for about a year now, and litter is definitely a problem, and like you said not just here but also worldwide. It's interesting you showed the point based system they have in Siargao, it actually reminds me of the "social credit system" they have in parts of China now. My wife and I could see it being implemented here in the PH in the future. Dueterte has already shown that he will shut down an entire island just to preserve the beauty of what they have here. We haven't been to Siargao (yet) =) ,but El Nido was starting to get pretty bad when we were there back in November. Anyways keep it up, and thanks for the upload.
I appreciate the big effort you brought to this island Mr Leonard, thank you.....I am a Mindanao native living in Oregon, USA and will do the same you did when I retire in 2023.
You hit it right on the nail regarding the issue of pollution and cleaning it up! Very inspirational vlog, bro. You did yourself (and the Pilipino people) proud. So touching so see so many kids helping to clean up the beach. Btw, I believe you are one of the few foreign vloggers who actually make the effort to pronounce local words correctly. Many thanks, bro! 🇵🇭🇺🇸🇹🇼😉
Nice job Gareth I've been seeing too many channels that just create videos of traveling in the Philippines . Happy you give back the love to help the Philippines. Subscribed !
You always bring positivity to your videos! Thank you for caring not only to our country but also to mother nature, you are truly and definitely an inspiring person. Your heart is so pure. May God bless you more and always keep safe here in the Philippines.
Because of the pandemic the kids of siargao inspired people to clean our beaches....i hope youll see the improvement when you visit the Philippines again because its not only in Siargao but the whole country its not only the beaches but the rivers as well....Thanks for inspiring and encouraging everyone!
It is interesting to see how embedded into society plastic has become in the last forty years and weaning the world off plastic will be hard but it can be done great video
Things to do when your in the beach. Small ways to help save earth.
Thank you sir Gareth for showing love and the initiative to help cleanup the beach..
Been impressed with the editing and images of your videos. Great content, you don’t waste the viewer’s time. Many thanks for sharing
Wow! you are the first foreigner tourist spreading awareness for the waste management and care for the environment. You are such an inspiration not only for Filipinos but worldwide. Thank you for using your platform for this effort and awareness...Hope all vloggers will do the same...God bless and more power!
Philippines is great country and one of the most beautiful in Asian countries, however just like other countries, there are problems in environment, where some people are not educated how to protect its environment particularly in the big cities like Manila. I am glad that people like you play a significant role to introduce to the community how important the environment . Kudos to you!!
I love this video..
Little things matter the most...
I really do hope that there will be an improvement in our garbage situation here in the Philippines.
We have been blessed to live in a country that is filled with natural beauty but most of us are taking things for granted.
All of us should make the first step to make our environment clean, safe and healthy. You showed us what we can do to help.
Thank you for making this video and welcome to Pearl of the Orient Seas, Philippines!
Take care always!
Nice Vlog, I always wait your new video while you traveling the Island of Philippines. 10X thumbs UP!
I'm almost crying right now...tears of joy to see someone who is looked up to by so many children, setting the standard and making opportunities available to them through positive work. These kids will grow up caring about their surroundings. They will grow up to make a real difference :)
This is great Gareth. I remember seeing so much trash in Boracay and Palawan, but I also remember seeing people cleaning up like this too. Awesome that you’re sharing the realities and also those working to curb the excess too. Keep it up.
Hello Gareth! Thank you for liking, featuring our islands and for loving our country. I hope all tourists are like you who is not just interested in the sceneries, food and culture but who is genuinely concerned about the environment issues facing our beautiful but fragile ecosystem. I've just subscribed and hopefully watch more of your videos. Enjoy and peace ✌️.
That was an amazing video contents clean up garbages on the beach was great initiatives. I hope every island beaches in the Philippines to protect our beautiful natures. Good job Gareth your awesome man thanks for sharing your experience to us. Cheers!🥰🥰🤩😇👍🙏🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Thank you sir for making our little country a little bit cleaner. Because of this video you earned another subscriber. Keep up the good work and spread the love.
Thank you Mr Gareth Leonard for loving our country!!
This is actually a good video to share the public. Travelling is not just to enjoy and appreciate the nature. You must also do something to preserve the places you are visiting. Join the group in preserving the nature. Thanks for this!
You make beautiful vlogs. Interesting content too, featuring both the good & the bad side. Thanks for your concern & your help! Kudos to Wemar & the Sun Crew kids!
I grew up in the Philippines and pollution and garbage has always been problematic, but I must say that everytime I go back it seems to get better. I really appreciate your take on the situation and being so proactive with solutions. Thank you very much!!!
Great vlog Gareth, I really feel this current generation will make a difference, I can sense a more sincere awareness of the environment in the younger generation today in the Philippines and I think you will see a vast improvement in the next ten to fifteen years.
And nice your honesty in your parting comment 'not for me' for the gulaman drink, most vloggers would have sucked it up for the camera, keep calling it as you see it.
This is one type of activity for you tubers to give back a tiny bit to the country. It can inspire many people and also make tourists and locals to take their garbage with them and do not just leave it anywhere.
Great job Gareth :) Thank you for this video
kudos to you and the people behind this clean-up drive!hoping this will catch everyones attention..we need more videos like this..Its more fun to travel and same time you are giving back the nature what it deserves,LOVE and RESPECT.
The mayor's or the governor's should order their people to put warning like KEEP THE ENVIRONMENT/BEACH CLEAN.! NO LITTERING!
It should be done all over the Philippines. I told my brother about it...and they came to visit me in the States. I think he Got the Message...check out his resort..Amazing View Mountain resort in Laguna. There's signs and garbage disposal everywhere. 😁
The mayor and the governor don't care. They are busy doing what they do best.
Or be fined maybe that's what some places do. May help.just a suggestion.
I guess very little of the garbage on the beach was actually left at the beach by someone. The mess comes from the ocean - the plastic waste is brought to the ocean in rivers or even dumped to the ocean directly in some places and it's then washed ashore. The solution is not to make people clean the beaches and collect and ENDLESS stream of plastic waste but to limit the amount of plastic in general. What seemed like contradicting piece in the video was that at the end the kids were drinking from disposable plastic cups. 2dcl of water that will keep one hydrated for a couple hours but will create waste that'll stick around for centuries...
Most of the waste from the Island are not from the locals.
Thanks for this Video Gareth. I hope we can have more warriors like you that never cease to remind us how beautiful the world is if only we can do our share to keep it clean and protect it. I have shared this video in my social media platforms. It was such an inspirational video to watch. Thanks.
Thanks for the wonderful initiatve to clean the community...initiative to have more awareness must be implemented by the barangay
Not only the barangay but the whole Philippines.
A foreigner with a heart of a Filipino. Thank you sir for helping the locals.
This video is ❤ great.
I'm headed there and found what I want to do there. Help clean beaches 💙 I'm bringing trash bags 💚
Best video by far ive seen promoting tourism n cleaning out the mess thats destroying our environment. I hope ur video reaches out to a lot of people to make them realize the situation.
Paradise !
Awesome video Gareth. A great intro to Siargo. Talking about the rubbish issues in Asia is so important. Great to see you use your influence to help.
Hey dude u did a great job
For my country which is the philippines specially siargao island ur amazing job well done dude keep it up god bless u always takecare of your trip wherever u go
Thanks Gareth for leading the kids and spread awareness to the community to clean up their beach. Cleanliness is next to godliness. ❤✌🇵🇭
I've seen those kids the last time I visited Siargao! Awesome job @thesunscrew! That is a noteworthy initiative for the kids to do - clean up the beach and they get free surfing lessons and/or boards to use! Maybe one day, some of those kids will become the next Filipino surf champion with a heart full of love and concern for the environment. On the vlog itself, I love all the scenes showing all the smiling kids! Absolute joy in all their faces! I think this is one of my favorite among your Philippine series, Gareth. And yes, the problem about garbage (plastic and all) in the ocean is a world wide concern. Picking them up from the beaches and recycling aren't enough solution. People should learn to avoid using plastic as much as possible. There are a lot of alternatives and people have choices that they can make that suits their lifestyle. Everyone just have to make a conscious effort to help and care for our one and only planet. 🤙🇵🇭🤙
Glad that you are enjoying our country! An inspiring and laudable clean-up initiative on your part. If you are still in country and would like to see the historic province of Cavite, holler me up. Cheers!
We are destroying our world at a faster pace nowadays. The trash from that beach came from all over the place. Like our elders used to say “whatever you throw to the sea will one day comeback to you”. We reap what we sow. Sad!
Beautiful program. I hope it spreads not just in the Philippines, but all over the world. Amazing!!!
I wish the local government has the political will to address the problem swiftly.
Wow, my heart melted at the effort at conservation by these young beautiful children! Environmental awareness and conservation starts early, and nothing is more beautiful than the young ones getting into the trenches--so to speak--to clean up the beauteous beaches of the country!
The man who started this project is a hero, and so are the kids! They should be encouraged and supported.
That’s 😔 sad it’s trash every where. So much to be done for cleaning but great job kids & you my man. You are an amazing person Gareth. 👍👍
This is one of the best videos I've seen about the Philippines. It made me feel good and tears of joy welled up in my eyes while viewing this video.
Love that you shared the beauty of what you've experienced but I also love you sharing what you experienced with the people of the Philippines.
I really love the kids, the grownups always smiling. You always smiling because of what you're seeing/experiencing... Love that.
The initiative for the kids, the people cleaning up the beaches/their beach must be shown more, not just around the Philippines, but around the world.
The Philippines is truly a paradise. The people make it even so!
In your video, the kids are smiling, happy even though they're about to work/cleanup.
I love that they're being rewarded for their efforts. I hope this continue over and over.
I hope the next generation of kids will continue this effort.
I hope organizations in the Philippines and around the world will see this video and pitch in to help.
Thank you for this video. I can watch this again and again.
Love the Filipino attitude. Always positive. Always smiling.
Peace!..
Hello everyone,awesome video, think you should let people know that all that trash was not made by locals or visitors. It washes up on their beaches from around the world. That's our trash, it ends up there.We all need to do our part.
kielypl9 nice thinking..i totally agree everyone is responsible..
There are trash piles all over any populated areas of the Philippines, cities, small barangays... where there are people there is trash.. even inland, where there is NO SEA. So explain to me how, exactly, the trash in that country is not their trash? If it's our trash washed ashore as you say, how does it get miles inland? I lived there for a year, I have first hand experience with the conditions there and the peoples attitudes towards littering there. Every day, countless dozens of times each day I watched Pinoy just discard their waste right where they were standing. Finished eating a bag of chips, throw the plastic bag on the ground right then and there. Finished drinking a Coca-Cola, throw the bottle on the ground...
You go to a country for holiday but then you clean the area as well. That's so awe-inspiring!
You already have a beer belly! Is that from all the pinoy food? Haha.
Rude
I want to hug you and say "Thank you" ❤. I salute you man. It's a ringing bell to my self and hopefully to everyone who's watching this.
Insert President Duterte 😂😂😂
Thank you for loving our country Gareth.. Maraming Salamat 😍
YOUR VIDEOS ARE FREAKIN AWESOME!! Keep up the quality content!
Problem sometimes with us Filipino is that , we thought Jesus Christ will come down again to pick up our shit and all the rubbish on earth stupid human being has been created.
😅😅😅
Oh please, don't include us Visayans from you tagalog people. Your stupidity is endless. It's unfair to say that Filipinos are undisciplined when it comes to trash, but in reality, Manila and its surrounding cities are the biggest contributors of the country's garbage problem. Your garbage collection is very unsystematic and chaotic. While you tagalogs are contributing to the problem, Visayas and Mindanao are investing in waste-to-energy (WTE) facilities, with Lapu-lapu City and Cebu City to be the first cities to own these facilities in the country. Davao City is also purchasing its first WTE facility next year.
It is very sad to be under the same flag with these shameful tagalogs.
@@allzkolokoy8864 I'm from Mindanao myself and I get your point but there is no need to be rude tho. The problem isn't with the tagalogs. It's with the human race itself. Humans have been destroying our planet since the a long time ago. At least the newer generation is doing their efforts for the betterment of the environment. Stop the hate rather start spreading love and peace
@@allzkolokoy8864 i know exatly what you mean,i'm glad the current president is not from manila,you see tangalogs are like the welfare blacks in the US,they're loud,ignorant,violent and they drag this country down with their blind arrogant machismo,
puro lang porma walang laman
@@allzkolokoy8864 sml? Gago, Tagalog man yan, kapampangan, bisaya man, FILIPINO TAYO LAHAT. IISA LANG ANG BANSA NATIN. May stupid stupid ka pang nalalaman diyan. Vovo
Dont leave the 🇵🇭. They need u. Thank u for caring.. God bless u and more power 🙏🙏 u only the vlogger in the country i saw who helped and clean the beaches.
Little hands picking up trash big hands do the littering.... but at least new breed of environmentalist... forget the adults...they won’t change unless punished..
So sad..
I don’t know why TH-cam recommended this video to me, but i just shared this and am a subscriber now. Yes, as Pinpin said, quite inspiring indeed. Thanks for your ❤️ for the Philippines. and all your efforts. 👍🏼
the philippines is a very beautiful country. we are proud of the beautiful people and places around us. it is just unfortunate that our leaders are either incompetent or outright robbers.
we thank you for your efforts in promoting our country. respect man!!
Good job to these guys! Local government should take action to make sure theres proper garbage disposal. Thank you for sharing this for awareness!
About 5:30, that kid was just peeing behind a palm tree. Lmao.
It's normal thing to do sa Pinas. They learned it from the adults.
I bet you did too.
@@edbarcela3644 - Not denying it.
I
Yes we should , clean the beaches ourselfs just take an old broomstick put a nail at the end of it, get a garbage bag and get busy.
The good thing about your vlog is you inspire people to Take care of the environment.Keep it up.I salute you for that.Thank you!!!
Hello ❤️
Hello! 🙋🏻♂️
Gareth Leonard Ty❤️
Big Thanks to you for your initiative too....and im happy that at a young age they are made aware of this problem...hope it will make a domino effect nationwide.....or even worldwide....support to this group!!!
Thank you Gareth for exposing how irresponsible most people and the government. Anywhere you go in the Philippines, most people do not look for GARBAGE CANS to throw their trash. And the government officials have responsibilities to clean the environment too. Protect the environment by enforcing a law, "PHP Fine for littering." Government should also hire manual labor and invest on machinery to pick up the trash. Invest on human waste treatment plant. One way to be rich in the Philippines is to become government officials by putting the taxpayers' money into their pocket and ignore the environment. Have these officials all over the Philippines learned something about the closure of cesspool Boracay beach? The government should spend money for cesspool and trash to protect the environment, and the people have a role to find garbage cans to maintain clean environment. We all know that MOST Filipino officials are corrupt. Do we want also to be called or labeled "TRASHY FILIPINOS"?
Thanks for your time and help Gareth. You're a great blogger with a heart.
I don't know why the government don't employ people to take care of the beach 👍
They’re corrupt, that’s why.
Doge YT they are*
Peter T government can only do so much. The current government has been doing whatever they can to fix and clean whatever they can. But we cant expect government to do everything for us. Cleaning such places shouldnt be anyones problem if human itself will do them-self a favour and throw their waste in a proper bin or better yet reduce the use of plastic waste coz those garbage arent done by local and tourist alone but also from other place/country.
@@jhongruezo5481 it's a combination of corrupt politicians, people who do not care about the environtment. The problem here is most people does not want to look at the bigger picture.
The fuck are you talking about. Why do you have to rely on the government. Are you saying the government should clean up the trash? Well about you people? You got hands and a well-healthy body, can't you help pick up some trash and organize a community activity that would let them cooperate on cleaning up as well. You don't have to always rely on the government and well. You need to do action as an educated citizen as well.
Oh Gareth this is by far the most amazing video I've seen from TH-cam and I'm not gonna lie, if there's ever an award giving body to recognize the significance, value, relevance and impact of content of all the videos here, yours should win it hands down. You're truly an amazing person, more success and blessings pour into you, this is definitely your vehicle of legacy for which you shall be remembered from generations to generation. Much love from the Philippines buddy❤😘😍🌷🌹✌🤟🙏😇🏆
We had walked for 2 hours once in some mountains in Panay to get to this unpopular waterfall. When we got there i was surprise of the amount of garbage littered everywhere . There are 4 fire pits whith broken bottles in each. My mates, a Brit and American look at me asking WHY? Leaving the place without litter is one thing Pinoys have to learn. I am glad these kids develop awareness of clearing the area. It is truly a beautiful place and should be preserve with care.
Hey Gareth good job on highlighting Siargao's future generation taking the front row in cleaning up the environment, the beaches particularly. I couldn't help but notice how, several times in the video, you call the coconut trees as "palm trees". The Philippines is a huge coconut tree real estate. Enough said. Thanks for such amazing videos and an amazing vlogger.
Thank u very much for the love! my country is an amazingly beautiful paradise. I hope all tourists are like u, sensitive enough. NO littering please... we love u Mr. G! I juz love your 💓
Thanks for loving my beautiful country and experience being as a local, I've watched all your travels here in the Philippines and it really amazes how appreciating you are especially when you experience the life in the rural. Despite the fact that you came from a first world country where in you have the luxury but come to think of it, you showed genuine love for the Philippines. Salute to you and hope to see you back here again when this pandemic is over. 👍😊❤🇵🇭
Great job kids ... thanks Gareth for the videos and hope you had a great time in Siargao, Philippines...
Wow!!!!! That’s Awesome Garett... An Eye opener for all Filipinos. Many Thanks for your Vlog with A Purpose, if all Vloggers follows your purpose.... I’m sure this World will be BETTER .... 👏 Bravo!!!!
Thank you for your deep concern to the environment. Hope we Filipino's well do the same too.Discipline, cooperation, and environmental awareness is all we need to save our mother nature for the next generation.
I always carry a garbage bag with me when I go hiking and pick up the garbage if I see it on the trail. I also noticed lots of other people doing the same in my area. Its nice to see that people are caring about those things!!!!
