- IS HARVESTING ABACA THE HARDEST JOB IN THE PHILIPPINES?
Catanduanes is the largest producer of abaca in the world; this island province is the source of a third of this naturally-grown fiber, used for clothing, teabags, shipping ropes amongst other things.
Today, I'm exploring the Happy Island from Puraran Beach to the north in Pandan. Let's see what happens along the way!

Dept of tourism should fund your channel for trailblazing explorations

I've heard of it raining cats and dogs but never heard of falling carabao before. lol
I'm not so sure how happy that spider was, but I don't think you should stick around to find out. Maybe one day you can make it to Hawaii and see Happy Face spiders. They're really quite small and are found in very remote areas on O'ahu that I know of. I don't remember where else in the islands they live, but I'm certain they are on some of the other islands as well.
Stick around... hahahaaa
Kuya, who was showing the abaca and the community, is so humble and soft spoken. His eagerness on explaining information about abaca is really sweet. Thank you to both of you 🤗
Yorkshire Tea! Love ur videos as always!
Mr. Daot you're here!🎉
Hi KD, amping!💪 Ur videos are spectacular, i love it.👍Catanduanes is beautiful.❤
Another fascinating vlog! The drone shots of the coastlines and landscapes are amazing. It's remarkable to see the Filipinos still using century old method of processing abaca. Interesting to see local manufacturing of surf boards. As always, your narration is so informative. There's never a dull moment in your vlogs. You sustain our attention and excitement as we watch your videos. More power to you and looking forward to more adventures. 21:00
I envy you, you bought my dream adventure bike. Plus you get to discover different provinces, something I always wanted to do.
Anslem aka KUMANDER DAOT, you deserve to be one of the ambassador in our tourism industry...keep it going KD, thanks and may our Lord thy God bless and protect you..
wow amazing scenery love Catanduanes
Wow!! Catanduanes landscape is amazing..Thanks KD and keep safe!!
Congrat kumander for being so matiyaga and masipag. Hope and pray you will harvest the fruits of your labor and pay it patience
Hey! I think I know that guy at the end of the video. Pretty sure I may have unknownly helped him export some secret ingredients from the other side of the pond to the Philippines. 😂
Really appreciate your time to exercise the handwork. People are awesome .
I started sharing your vlogs because of the information one could learn from it.
Magingat ka ansel all the time you travel
Wonderful subject matter. Very high definition, very clear picture. The sound quality is excellent. Thank you for a great production. Arkansas USA
Catanduanes is such a beautiful place...I've veen there once a decade ago. Always stay safe and God bless Kumander Daot..m
Abaca is the hardest fiber in the world. It is used in making Manila rope and paper money. Catanduanes is also used as the fastest way if you want to go to Caramoan instead of driving all the way from Naga.
Believe what you believe nothing wrong with that.
@@SkipBayles-l4w believe what you don't believe nothing wrong with that .
👎👎👎Number one reason people click off a video is music. 10:17 clicked offed wtf is this weird drum loop? 👎👎👎
thank you, being Filipino and not exposed to province life make me happy every time you introduce new trees, fruits, etc. , learning from your vlog. Also, the scenery its really majestic.
Wow!!! Your video and scenic views are so calming and relaxing. It is so nice to watch your vlogs after a tiresome day from work. Thank you, Anselm.
Solid itenerary KD. Batonhon here.
Beautiful sceneries. 💚💙
Honestly didn't know much about Abaca and didn't even know that we're the largest supplier of Abaca worldwide. Thanks for this informative vlog. It seems though that it's the middlemen who are profiting the most from it and not the locals who are harvesting/producing it. 🙁
I like that you tried these jobs like the weaving you did in Ilocos. Looking forward to more of your adventures in Catanduanes! amping kanunay
Golden orb weaver spider is not poisonous.
i born in this province, and i really missed coming back, its been 41 years since we left and move to manila. very beautifull and peacefull.
Ganda ng pilipinas ❤
Thank u for always featuring different kind of places and our locals
Good morning ldol from cabugao bato catanduanes
I think this is the same jacked guy in Kulas' vlog no?
I didn’t know what the abaca plant looks like until this amazing vlog, KD. I feel like the cost should be >65 pesos per kg since it is so difficult and laborious to harvest/process. They certainly deserve more than what they get paid for, and hopefully the government provides some funding to support them especially during the typhoon season. L
The province looks so majestic with its beautiful coastline, lush forests/hills, and verdant green pastures.
Thank you for taking us along with you to remote places. Truly appreciate your hard work to educate us about the Philippines and the hard-working Filipinos.
Take care always, be safe, and God bless. 🥰❤️
same here.. I thought the abaca looks like a pineapple leaves... Thank you kumander for showing us another beautiful place in the Philippines... 🤩😀
At least they are dry their abaca fiber outside the road not like in Luzon they dry the rice in the road
kataw - means mermaid if i recall it clearly it's a Visaya word
kumander d❤
keep safe
The government should do something for this abaca , they must provide machines for easy and fast manufacturing abaca and could produce more products for exports. Then help the abaca farmers for their benefits and so, they will enjoy and inspire working in abaca farm.
Machines do exist but the quality of fiber is different. There are separate prices (and uses) for hand stripped and decorcitated
Yes traditional @@KumanderDaot
Watching from Canada
Thank you for taking us to Catanduanes KD! This is such a beautiful island province. One of my favorite travel vlogs from you. Your drone shots are incredible!
Wow. That's another discovery of a mystic Catanduanes. Thank you KD for the beautiful vid.
This is the first time I see abaca but in your vlog only sir kumander
KD, The Fibers goes to China and turns to a rope and sold in the US or UK labeled MADE IN CHINA! 😞
I believe 65% of abaca still goes to the UK directly...
Wow nalingaw kos imo video na miss ko pinas tuloy. na miss ko mag taksi ng abaka. Awesome video from Kulas fans here.
Not impossible for you to live like locals. Hooray Kumander Daot 🙌👏
Try to visit datag caramoran ser hehe shout outvfrom la torre and vibares family
KATAW in bisaya, in English MERMAID
"KATAW" is reversed word for "WATAK" - which means something that is Scattered or Separated. But yes it is Mermaid!
Ha ha ha awesome kumander Daot your enjoying it bravissimo!😄😄😁
Thanks for another awesome vlog KD! ❤Your drone shots are so beautiful. I enjoy watching your travels going to remote areas and showcasing these majestic places. Well done sir!

KD I live in the Seychelles, man the way you portray and show the beauty of the Philippines province is really something special for me, as a foreigner this country has some stunning beauty, prestige and unspoiled environment where human pollution has not done its destruction.
Thank you for sharing this video with us. Nice video KD.
nice one kumander idol daot
My hometown. Definitely my favorite place in the world. The balance of beautiful beaches and mountains being together in one place. Good food and happy people. The perfect place to chill and relax. Thank you for featuring Catanduanes kumander. 🍻

Wow! Such a beautiful place. It always reminds me when the Fighter Boys were there; and when Kulas helped the people after a devastating typhoon destroyed the houses especially in Puraran beach area.
My partners parents do Abaca on their farm. Maybbe you should do a video on them.
So many of provinces of the Philippines are so beautiful, I hope they remain unspoilt for a long time to come. I may end up in the P.I. myself before too long with my wife. Maybe see you there K.D.
"Kataw" in ilonggo means mermaid
Loving this vlog! The northern part of the island is beautiful 😊
Madayaw na pag abot SA banwa Ng pandan n caramoran I'm from dvonor
KATAW is a myth names for mermaids....
Abaca na buhok ni komander pag balik niya sa Davao hindi na siya kilala ng asawa niya.
Salamat kaayo Kumander Daot for sharing beautiful places sa Pilipinas. The best kaayo ang imong mga videos sir showing great places.
1:07 Kumander Sleepy!
This would have to be the best channel I have ever seen on the Philippines.
lacking of machinery
Do you calculate the Abaca harvest on an Abacus?
nice! mahirap! thank you for this!
Kumander Daot - "Kataw" sa akoa nahibaloan kay "mermaid" na ang meaning niya.
Another great video
can we buy some abaca from you?
KATAW means "Mermaid"
Nice place 😃
Paradise

Mostly a Sony A7Sii but sometimes using DJI Action 2 & 3... then the drone is DJI Air 2S... love the sensor on them!
