Glen kept saying magandang umaga all the time.. good job. next time you can note that from morning up to around 11 ish you can use magandang umaga, from 11 to 12 noon you can use magandang tanghali, 1pm to 6pm magandang hapon, 6pm onward, magandang gabi... you can also add "po" at the end as a sign of respect. :)
Municipal officials of Malay, Aklan, which covers Boracay, ordered the shutdown of West Cove for lack of business permit. The DENR demolition edict was due to West Cove's erection of permanent structures in a forestland it was allowed temporarily to use for tourism. Actual closure and demolition were stayed, however.
That delicacies your eating the flour and banana we also call it maruja or maruya you have to dunk it with brown sugar... Have safe travels always, welcome to our country.. U say masarap for delicious! 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
You should come here in Palawan, Philippines top beach destination especially in onuk in balabac such a breath taking and amazing place I assure you that ❤❤❤
You guys should checked out Port Barton in Palawan, if you prefer more quite and less crowded area. Was there pre pandemic days during my expat backpacking trip in Asia.. wished to visit this beautiful country again. Like what they always say “Its More Fun In The Philippines”
Hi Mado and Glen, just a bit of trivia, you know Puka beach has been famous in the 70's for their super white Puka Shells that made into bracelets, necklaces, earings, buttons and for more accesories and that's where it gets the name - Puka beach. And you know it's more better to go along the beach shore early in the morning for it is not so crowded during the morning and when it gets later the day and the more people showing up specially during the sunset hour late noon. Enjoy your adventure. Salamat!
Hey guys another great clip. Next time @ the hairdresser Glen, ask her to tidy up at the back of your neck. Appearances on You Tube must be of a high standard (hehe) x
love puka beach more than white beach. puka beach is what Boracay was in the early 2000s. Its also what most other less commercialized beaches in the Philippines looks like.
Go to other places here in Philippines like Palawan, Siquijor, Siargao, Bohol, Romblon, Puerto Galera, Tawi tawi, Batanes, Cebu, Davao,Batangas theres a lot of more beautiful and interesting place beaches and sceneries.
⭐️ Philippines isn’t a price-haggling culture. Haggling in many businesses hurt the meager bottomline. Tourists have actually brought the culture from our neighbors (Malaysia, Indonesia, etc). So tourist spots have now learned to markup. Ask, assess the honesty- kindness goes a long way. ❤
@@DutchDudeDauinDumaguete Growing up, there was no haggling at all like they do in Malaysia for instance. There, one has to assume the “first” price is double or more. One then needs to haggle the price down. Even today, that is NOT how we do it in daily business. It’s FIXED PRICE. Tourists have brought the culture here assuming we mark up prices exorbitantly. So even locals are irked by this practice. Now, that not to say there are NO scammers- that’s ANYWHERE. That is why I say you need to assess the honesty of the seller. If there’s any kind of in-your-face hard selling, that’s probably a scam- walk away. However, I would not haggle if the price is reasonable and I can afford it. That’s just common streetsmarts, my friend. A little bit of kindness too. The only place, we’d see sone haggling is among locals in WET MARKETS where only locals go. There, one may ask a “suki” (a favorite seller one has a relationship with) to try to get a discount- local life can be hard. But that’s among locals and there is usually a relationship established. You’re Dutch, aren’t you? Well, I was born and raised here- a full-blooded Filipino. I know what I’m talking about.
@GlenAndMado Like said before, Glenn and Mado, you’re the kind of tourists we like- respectful and genuinely trying to understand the culture. Others, are just so assuming- even forcing their ways. Btw… That motorcycle is a bit on the high side. But all the bread and restaurant food- FIXED PRICE.
@@polgonzales Me being Dutch has got nothing do to with it.......Me, as an experienced traveller and after 30 years of travelling, living in the Phillipines i also know what i`m talking about....Just saying that wherever you go there will always be people try to take advantage because you don`t know the prices and/or customs....
West cove was allegedly owned by boxing champion Manny Pacquiao that's why on the boat it was painted "Pacman" West Cove, but he denied owning it. But the place was famous in locals to call it "Pacquiao Mansion". It was closed down in 2011 due to failure to secure permits.
First thing one should learn when in a foreign country is the pronunciation of the local language. The Philippines' languages like Tagalog, Bisaya, Ilokano etc. are all syllable based. Ahh-Ehh-Eeh-Ohh-Ooh.
Be aware that not all locals are socialble like you want them to be. You are the tourist, you are the foreigner. Some folks do lot like tourists. Especially if you ask too many questions. Just enjoy and not to ask too many questions. Don’t ask if there are happy. Don’t them that they have a nice cycle. Some of your comments are offensive. Be more quiet and don’t get in there space. I hope you understand.🤨🤘🏽😟🧐🇵🇭😎wag kayong bastos like other tourist/expatsand rude foreigners 😊😅😮
⭐️ I don’t know why anyone would recommend that you visit West Cove. It was a resort-hotel that built illegally on a natural rock formation. There is no longer any way to recover its natural beauty but the structure still had to be destroyed. Allowing them to stay in business would be immoral. It was part of the island recovery efforts. Btw, the tricycles are electric in keeping with ecological preservation.
7:45 awkward questions asking if that person works assuming they look like a worker if you went grocery shopping in US or Europe and started talking to someone because you think they work there base on how they look and what they are wearing can sometimes be insulting and judgy
Combo is an ilonggo word for banana fritter and in Tagalog its Maruya.,its made from Saba banana mix with flour eggs,milk and baking powder ..its the same banana we use for bananaque on a stick and turon wrap in lumpia wrapper..Saba banana is the healthiest banana type with low glycemic and helps lower your blood sugar if your diabetic ..
Combo or Pinacombo in Bicol is different from Maruya (Sinapot in Bicol). Pinacombo is made of mashed banana, flour and egg like a Torta. Maruya or Sinapot is Saba Banana, split in half coated with flour and water batter then fried.
Hey, we have been watching you guys for years. For us, we would prefer 15 minutes vids. 45 minutes is just too long for us & we skip them. Just a hint. Cheers!
West cobe is a part of rehabilitition proj. of bora and those building near cobe so they must to demolished.i think it was 2021.And as i know west cobe is owned by our boxing hero manny paquiao.
No, that hotel ruins was actually demolished by the government because it violated environmental laws. People say that it was owned by boxing champion and senator, Manny Paquiao
Those spear fishermen should not be catching Parrot fish because they actually help the reefs survive. I think it is illegal to catch them in the Boracay area.
The West Cove was demolished because they didn't had a permit to build there it was during the 6 months renovation of Boracay under the former president Duterte.
Been there and even their shakes are really expensive, but I think it's okay since they are renting the place too plus it's beachfront and touristic. It's a must try to have a sip while enjoying the beautiful view under the heat of the sun. 😊
That hotel even extended to the water and build a man made rock i watch it on news years ago and it destroy a lot of natural structures so sad beacuse you cannot bring back natural nature in it.
The government destroyed the west cove hotel bec the owner violated all construction rules. Defaced natural cliffs, encroached the waters, no building permits, he doesn't even own the land.
Boracay is overrated you better go to Romblon or Mindoro like the guy with monkey mention where the monkey came from hehe.. There's a boat going there in Tambaron island so many secluded beaches around Mindoro without or less tourist from my experience
For ur info, Boracay was the first project of Pres. Duterte, to clean,construct roads, drainage and wastage system. Remove all old types of tricycle that were creating pollution then replaced with e-bikes and other forms of transports that were transmitting and exhausting pollution. Beaches are cleaned and beaches easement were well done, removing houses and other extended buildings eyesore to the public. Roads are built around the island with good drainage and waste water system. The 6 yr. Rehabilitations was successful in 6 yrs The period of repair were not enough but they left only the minor jobs because some other tourist spots like Coron and Bohol were also rehabilitated. Maybe in the future they will continue to beautify some of the beaches in Ph. Together with these projects ports and seaports were also rehabilitated into world class.
Duterte is The Worst President . Killed many innocent Filipinos . So Rude , like her daughter Sara and son Baste . Their True Color is revealed . They are So Arrogant . And Abusive ..... NEVER AGAIN to the Dutaes !!!
@patriciomisa1509 sir, if you mention Duterte as the one who made it impressive as it is today then you’re politicising it. You can just say it’s beautiful without mentioning Duterte because that man is a killer. He killed so many Filipinos due to his war on drugs. So the good and the bad of Duterte will come out. Enough of him stop it.
Naniwala nmn tong dds na to. Wala syang nilinis. Pinasok nya mga chinese businessman dyan kaya nya kinontrol. Dami nyung alam na mga dds puro fake news namn

Next stop, CORON, EL NIDO, SIARGAO, CEBU, BOHOL, Siquihor, Batanes, Baguio.
I was just checking if you uploaded, and right when I clicked your channel a video appeared.
Mado so happy with the Filipino bread with banana, so cute haha makes me wanna try it too!

If yout in the philippines you should get all the currency domination so you can pay exact pesos. Always ask for exchange
Just withdraw it from Atm with current market currency prices which is usually the best deal
"purple all the way" - Mado
The purple pastries & ice cream is made of Purple Yam or r purple taro (Ube )
Annoying how they keep seeing it but they dont learn that it’s ube
local pastry is cheap in the philippines
If you find friendly budget price,go to local public market. Not tourist area,mostly the price is high😊
In America we called that fritters rather is banana fritters.
Go to other places here in Philippines like Palawan, Siquijor, Siargao, Bohol, Romblon, Puerto Galera, Tawi tawi, Batanes, Cebu, Davao,Batangas theres a lot of more beautiful and interesting place beaches and sceneries.
Tawi Tawi? Really?
@@DutchDudeDauinDumaguete yes I saw it on one of the vloggers vlog theres a nice sceneries and beaches thete
@@CarlCuevas-y1v Not really a good area for foreigners to go to
glen and mado,why not go to SIARGAO serfing capital of the philipines❤😊🎉
I haven’t seen you swim in the beach since you’ve been there 😂😂😂

balabac island in palawan ,phiillippines more beautiful in boracay
The last time I went to Puka Beach The road was not that worst
Construction
They are rebuilding the road
That is the last part of road that is being rebuilt in Boracay.
The rent is expensive. Bikes are only 3k to 4k per month.
Where did you rent the scooter? Are there rental agencies near the Caticlan Jetty Port
It was off an individual, we mention it in the video actually. The name of it.
