The changes in Siargao are truly eye-opening! It’s crazy to think how rapidly development is happening. Will the island’s charm survive or transform into something entirely new in the next 5 years?
Story just gets prettier and growing so fast. I’ve been a subscriber ever since you came to the 🇵🇭. Yes Christmas is here soon. Time flies. I’ll be going back to Seattle and spend my New Year. there. Go2 Costco and stock up for some food that we don’t have here like Organic Kirkland peanut butter.
Go to S&R or Landers in CDO, DAVAO, CEBU and MANILA and you will have all the Kirkland products you like and much more. S&R is similar to COSTCO with annual membership. Don’t have to go back to America to have all these stuff.
@@bayareatandersI have Landers and S&R memberships but unfortunately S&R in Kawit, Imus, Alabang and Aseana don’t have all that I want. Same goes with Landers. I wish they do. I have requested them but I don’t think they can get them though. Thanks
I was in Siargao this November, sadly before I found your channel...when there, I was thinking the same and I felt fortunate to visit while still relatively under developed. Its soaring popularity (particularly with the Instagram crowd) will likely turn it into Boracay. I'll be back to visit family next year, I was planning to skip Siargao but maybe one more time before it changes too much...Merry Christmas, blessings!
We like watching your family vlogs. My seven-year-old asks to watch when Story vlogs. He was so interested in the museums you visited in Hong Kong and says they are on his bucket list. 😊
Oh dear, its the rainy season on the island, hope my flight don't get cancelled Yeah puregold needs to improve their queing system when paying for your groceries.
Wherever i go,im bringing wd me cat /dog food and water for the street animals. I hope the momma dog was able to get a decent meal for her and her babies..😢
The great thing about this video is Sasha's news on [finally] having a reliable doctor in the island to go to ü esp. for addressing women's health issues. I hope expats like yourselves who've been integrated into the community or even considered families with your neighbors-slash-landlords team up with other like-minded residents and jointly look after the developments in Siargao. While we see the need to have the "big box" stores like Puregold, Mercury and NBS, it would totally ruin the vibe and spirit of Siargao when the conglomerates like SM set up shop there-not to mention kill the local businesses and absorb the locals as salespersons or other. Just my 2-cents ü
Let's hope development will match the island and local life. You're partly to "blame" for the rise of Surigao as a tourist development. I hope people will stop calling it the new "Bali." Siargao is Siargao.
LOL, what is about the reference with Bali. Lombok has better infrastructure than this Siargao, it has establishments like Milkywave, Xenofit, Tampah Hills, Samara, even Kempinski will build their resort in Lombok. Lombok even has its own MotoGP race track, and has legendary surfspot like Desert Point, famous Gili islands but choose to not referencing their place with Bali and still get over a million foreign tourists. It's almost 3 decades The Mentawais known for the most surf wave rich region in the world, and frequented by A Lister Surfers but never I heard Mentawaians referencing their islands with Bali, this Siargao has nothing compared to Mentawais for surf and beaches😂😂😂. Stop the projection, Bali has nothing to do with Siargao.
Now I know why many western tourists (white) are continuously going to Siargao even though it's in Mindanao Island. Because it was not attached to the main island it's located in the eastern north part. So, the fear factor of terrorism and kidnapping wasn't there. First time looking on the map of Siargao. As a Filipino myself I could travel there.
I just watch moana.. your daughters remind me of her when shes still small.. and you look like moanas dad but kinda slim... :D Take care guys Kudos.. Enjoy
That closing credit of Poppy could pass as a live wallpaper

My wife, son, and I plan to be there in May 2025
what if siargao becomes a city🤔
