- PHILIPPINES Travel Day Problem | MoalBoal to Siquijor island
Philippines travel can be difficult. In this video, I show you the trip from Cebu, Philippines to Siquijor island. Siquijor, Philippines is a beautiful Filipino island south of Cebu. Arriving in Siquijor from MoalBoal, Philippines requires a bus and two ferries. I definitely recommend reserving your ferry ticket in advance if traveling to Siquijor island on the weekend.

Thanks for watching!!
you are really a good vlogger..specifying all the details you encountered and with a comment
Hey thank you for saying that!! I put a lot of work into this!
I love that I'm not the only one that says "Salamat! Thank you!". My wife laughed at me for saying it because I'm basically repeating myself lol. Love your content and spontaneous style in the philippines - Keep it up. Might see you there when we move in a few months!
Hahah.. I do that every single time! “Salamat thank you”! 😅
your wife "laughs at you" cos you pronounce it wrong.
just dont make it a habit leaving your things unattended.
Envy’s those tourists visiting the Philippines this time of the year is hot but enjoyable in the beach and mountains falls, try out side the city’s same food and hotel but less expensive people are friendly, rent mopeds tour the islands coast to coast and good luck.
wow i do that in soanish constantly, but i think i have it worse. ill say a full semtence in spanish and then repeat it inenglish, i have an idea of why i do it though. 🌻
Interacting with the locals is always cool, they even taught me some language. But when I went to different provinces I didn’t know they had a different language 🤣
every island has it's own dialect. too many to count
Even us Filipinos does not know how to speak all of our dialects haha I mastered Tagalog and Bisaya, little in Ilonggo. Our country is so diversed ❤️

Hi Jonathan, i really admire the way you interact with the locals. It shows your kind of personality which is good & Genuine. Keep it up and may God guide you and bless you always in your journey in my country Philippines!
You are getting better at this. Keep interacting with the locals. Keep travelling close to the ground. I think
you'll turn out like the first wave of Philippine-based TH-camrs like Becoming Filipino and FinnSnow.
You are one of the best post-pandemic TH-camrs in the Philippines!
Cheers from the Bay Area!
Thank you so much for saying all of that! I’ll definitely keep at it!
This message has nothing to do with the video. I noticed that your surname is Alcala. My maternal grandfather is Pablo Alcala, & most of the Alcalas are originally from Calamba, Laguna.
@@merleplatel6665 the great alcala novelist? Wow!
Been to Siquijor twice pre pandemic times. I just can't get enough of that place. Hope to get back soon.
Have a safe travel. Enjoy the beauty of the Philippines, water are crystal clear indeed! locals in the provinces are nice persons.
The island hopping is made more fun in the Philippines… you have to be patience.. the country is hard to get around… but if you have travel enough.. you will get the rhythm this hard travels is what make the pilipino very tolerance and patience. Difficulties, patience, tolerance are what made this people amazing.
Thank you for promoting our island special the people how to intertain you. The hospitality of the people welcome you so warm.
Many of us will come because of his blogging, and because it’s TRUE-you ARE the nicest people ever❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Congratulations for 20k subscribers🥰🥰. You are one of the fastest growing foreign vloggers in the Philippines.
Thank you!! It’s a very exciting milestone!!
Wow amazing place definitely on my list of places to go to in Philippines, didn't have time last trip. Great video 👍👏🇵🇭
Sir,I’m pilipina residing in Arizona

Tricycle, big buses 🚌, but don’t
let your guard down, have fun in the
Island 🏝 of Philippine
Pls don't make us wait for another 5 days for the next video hahahah. Keep having fun and stay safe!
Hahah, I had to go film for several days.. now is edit and post time!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL are you still in PHILIPPINES?
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL Haha for me no probs, willing to wait foe your vids bud. God bless you on your travels always🤗🙏
Your energy and positivity are almost infectious! I'm new to your channel and you've got a another subscriber here. Kudos!👍🏻
Great video, Jonathan. Siquijor Island looks like is full of night life and a beautiful location as well. Looking forward to the next video.
Thank you! I’ve got a few Siquijor videos for sure!
Try and stay at Coco grove if you can. You get a large chef cooked breakfast included and it is about the best cheap resort I have ever stayed.
Someone else recommended it to me also! I drove past it as well. It looks super nice from the road!
WoW! Siquijor is busy now. I went there in 2015 and it was very peaceful, I was the only foreigner there for the whole 7 days I was there and there was barely anyone around.
that was a special event/concert.. everyone seemed to be out for it, but the other nights weren't like that
I love your attitude in terms of traveling in Philippines you are very
patient it is good to have in that
Philippine island 🏝 🤩 once again
and always have fun 🤩 in PH.
Thank you kababayan for treating Jonathan so well and for showing him how kind Filipinos are.
Next time, there is a cargo ship you can catch to go from Moalboal to Siquijor. I found that out while I was there which saved me a few hours instead of going to Dumaguete.
Good to know! Fabulous idea! My father was a ‘shrimper’ for awhile, so I would feel right at home talking with them! 🙏🏻❤️🤔
Woah! That's expensive 1,500 for tricycle. Glad you did not go for it, just ride a bus when you're in Cebu. I'm from Cebu, just saw your videos. Next time when you go back to Siquijor take a boat/roro Liloan port to Larena, Siquijor.
Yeah, the bus was comfortable and much more affordable
Wow great video, very informative 😊 I like that it shows how to go from one place to another using public transport and includes how much the cost. Thank you! 😊
Always try to negotiate the price before taking the ride. Unfortunately, there are a lot of unscrupulous people particularly among the tricycle drivers bc they are not regulated.Hopefully the tourism dept looks into it so that tourists do not get turned off. Believe me, the country needs the tourists.
Hello handsome...make the most of it in our country you will gain a lot ..you are really really Awesome you are different from the rest Thanks 👍🥰 for sharing..Godbless
It showed in your vlogs that you really enjoy your stays in My homeland Philippines
I am surprised to see how beautiful the water is. Same nice color of your eyes. Chicken afritada is good!!!! Enjoy your meal sir 😋😘☺ God bless you!
@3:22 when you asked manong when will the bus come? he paused thinking to himself... the bus will come when it will come. hahahaha.
in the Philippines most commuter bus doesn't have schedules.
Hello sir, it’s nice to meet you on the road. If u still remember i am one of those 3 guy’s who is driving a motor bike in siquijor. You even told us “hey this is isn’t safe” while we were driving. We’re looking forward for the video! Keep safe always migo.
😂 of course I remember! That video probably won’t be my next video. Hopefully your video will be out next week!
😂 of course I remember! That video probably won’t be my next video. Hopefully your video will be out next week!
Welcome to the Philippines, enjoy every moment but stay safe and healthy. More water intake. Hope you'll also come to North and experience the beauty of our place,, Baguio City, Benguet or Cordillera as a whole. You'll surely enjoy the beautiful mountains.
Thank you!! I’ve heard others talking about that region, so it must be worth checking out!
You’re full of positivity man. You’re awesome
I like the format of your video, I watched the whole thing
Really loved
This real video on how to get around the Philippines....thank you so much....please do more videos like this when you travel....i want to learn more😃😃🐾🐦🐐🐴🐼🐰🐬
I’ll do another one at some point when I don’t have so many bags with me 😂
I'm from Philippines move here in Modesto California last 2019. My place is in Davao City and my wife is from Cebu City. We're planning to get there on October this year from vacation. I hope to see you there. Just try to visit my place in Davao it cool place from vacation. Stay safe and have a good day. Have fun bro.
Hello to you.
Wow this is a very clear:/ sharp video of yours.
Thank you for showing 👍🇵🇭
Thank you for watching!!
Hi Jonathan! Good morning! I've just watched one of your vlogs and another and another and it got me interested. So, I'm now one of your subscribers. Good luck and hope your stay in the Philippines be pleasantly beautiful and happy!
Touristy prices already?! Wow! Good for the locals there, but I hope everything was worth it for you! Thank you for sharing! God bless you for the joy you bring with your vlogs!
Interaction with the locals, learning the language, giving honest feedback and insight.. that made me a subscriber! :)
Just watching your vlog now first subscriber, AZ USA 🇺🇸, at that port
wow Crystal clear water 💦
I love ❤️ your passion about the Philippines 🇵🇭 I am so proud of you really understand Filipino culture and learning how to speak the language and eating the Filipino food.❤ sending you love ❤️ energy to keep going
You take me places Bru.I enjoyed watching you bubbling your way through the fillipenes
What an exhausting day! Thanks for sharing what it's really like. Safe travels🥰
Really enjoy watching your videos.
Thank you!!
Doesn't look like the travel day was that much of a problem if not for the 6-hour waiting time to the last ferry. It actually turns out it all worked well after finding out you can do VISA processing at Dumaguete which is great! I also heard there's a big expat community in Dumaguete from retired US citizens.
yeah, it wasn't too bad other than that! The mistake was not booking the ticket in advance on Friday afternoon
Hope you had explored Dumaguete well. Its the best retirement city according to the Department of tourism 2019. Its home to big universities established by your ancestors. Food is also great there
Do you know the names of the good places to eat in Dumaguete?
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL havent been there in awhile but netizens suggest Chicos deli, Tinto, City burger, Lantaw. Dont leave Dumaguete without trying their Silvanas. Its even being imported to Manila
@@risingson1971 you're trying to make me fat I see 😅 I'll check those our thank you!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL Dumaguete is a place you'd love to live in. Nice city and nice people. Has the features of a big city without the big city chaos. Spend a few days there. And you can go up to Bacolod city which is called the City of Smiles. Go there and find out why...😊
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL 😄
Enjoy my friend , the best lesson is to experience with every situation 😁 what matters is you've got new ideas out of it ! Make it as an Adventure! Have fun and god bless 🙏😁
Oh yeah, just another adventure!
Can’t wait to be in Dumaguete and Sijuihor this November mate🙏
That's coming up soon! I've got several Siquijor videos coming out soon; I filmed a lot there!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL can’t wait to see the video 👍
Welcome to my hometown Sir... I'm from San Juan Siquijor... Enjoy Sir there have a lot beautiful beaches my Hometown. God bless I'm your new subscriber
thank you for the new sub!! Siquijor is so beautiful and relaxed!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL godless sir and keep safe .. i really miss my hometown.. 4 years im not back home
you can tour around di dumaguete..just ask the locals for hidden gems there.. and visit APO island while youre there in dumaguete
great thank you!!
i really appreciate in visiting and try to know what we filipino truely are...see u on your next blog and be carefull always and goodluck..
A tip to lessen the fare on trikes is one to not ride alone. Most of the times if you are alone they will make you pay for the empty seat. They wont say that they included the other seats and just say 200,150.. outright.
Another tip, before taking a ride if you have met a real local or like the owner of where you are staying ask for the fares esp the places you want to go to. Ask for "clean" Carenderia(the dollar meal places).
just watched this video last night and your subscribers count was 19.5 k...and now you have 20 k subs....very glad for you friend...just enjoy your trips and don't let those hassles .trouble you..
Thank you!! It's really going well so far! 20k is a huge milestone for me!
Then I watched this video 2 weeks later and his subscriber base is already 29k! (timestamp: Sep 4, 2022).
But the more amazing thing is that I just watched his other video before this and I saw his subscriber base was only 26k. So he gained 3k subscribers in a matter of just a few minutes.
Your living my dream, thanksfor the vidz...Tomorrow ill retire and travel from Batanes to Jolo.💪💪💪 I wish!
It’s super chill……..OWWW stubbed my toe lol. another cool vid man.
Great work on these vlogs man. I still can't imagine myself doing what you do. Traveling alone, talking to strangers, I wish I was comfortable traveling alone lol
thank you!! haha, I think most people wouldn't be very comfortable doing it. It's not that I wanted to travel alone, but I had to see the world, and no one would go with me, so I just went alone 😂
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL the line of yours that say's no one would go with me.....for some reason makes me smile and feel a bit sad for you..my reaction was like aaaahhhhh...🙃🙃🙃🙃
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL i am living vicariously through you brother. keep up the great work man!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL Hii, I'm a bit curious if the fares on the trikes/tricycle are reasonable. Some folks would hike it up if the see a foreigner.
@@roefarm8142 I think 100 pesos ($2) is a reasonable fare considering that he is traveling alone and the destination is a little far. I think even the locals are charged the same amount.
Awesome video... I will be making that same track in about a month.... Valuable info... Tks...
thanks! Glad it was helpful!
Glad you like your stay in Philippines and showcase what our country has to offer..
I don't know if you are familiar with the channel of "Fearless and Far" you kinda look like him..I enjoyed watching your vlog it shows kindness on how you treat the locals you've meet in the streets..hope to see your channel grow more..stay safe and Godbless..😊😊
Thank you so much! I’ll check out that channel!
Thanks for visiting my island, have a blast! Try freestyle diving with the Barracuda and skydiving on the island.
Which island has this?
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL Siquijor!
I I'm kinda happy to see your now 19k plus subscribers. More subscriber to come Sir.😊 I always enjoy your vlogs. Travelling alone seems to be ...lonely😆 but the way filipinos welcomes you. Your like travelling in large group of happy people.😊 more power, stay safe and God Bless as always!❤
Thank you so much! Yes, it definitely can be lonely. Luckily the locals often talk to me!
Load up on white/light colored shirts, Jonathan! And bring drinking water always =D BTW, the bread in the top shelf inside the glass case where you bought the water is the beloved Filipino pan de sal which you should try if you haven't yet ü Best warm or newly baked, either in the early mornings or mid-afternoons. You probably know by now that Dumaguete City is really a major stop and a key city in that part of the Visayas, and how lucky you were to have been there at that time of day, meaning that you could get yourself proper accommodation if needed. It's also a very historic town with many educational institutions established by the Americans among others =D You arrived at a fiesta day in Siquijor, too-lucky you because people were out and about. It would otherwise have been a sleepy evening =D
Thanks for visiting cebu phillipines..
Hope u come back soon....
Your so good traveller .you know how to negotiate everything🥰😍
Its good that you have this video on situation like that..... its an eye-opener for the LGU too. Keep on vlogging and Keep safe!!!!
what is LGU? Will do, thank you!

Very nice sea water right? And its not scary to jump there bcos we don't have great white shark ahahaha and the water is so clean.
I probably would of gotten hotel relaxed in dumagetti then taken first morning boat.....I love your channel
Absolutely love your videos man! Im a couple of weeks behind you. In Cebu city heading to Moalboal tomorrow and doing the circle to Bohol. Keep up the good work 👌
Love your channel Johnathan! Watched several of your videos, like how immersive your videos are! My gf is Filipino & enjoys it as well!, You didn't say how much the 2 hour bus ride was? Any plans to come to hawaii? I know it's expensive tho.
God bless your trip handsome. Sorry for the expensive travel cost here in the philippines.
the last-minute flights are where it really gets expensive! This isn't terrible in comparison
From Dumaguete you can go on the fastcraft to Bohol...
oh really? I may do that then... either there or Siargao.. tough decision...
Best after Siquijor, go to Bohol. Then back to Cebu. You might want to do Cebu North like Bantayan and Malapascua. Then from Cebu City, plane to Siargao.
Also, those type of restaurants are called Karendirya. Usually mom and pop small restaurants. They are good and cheap
Like the one in the Lilioan port? That’s all I want to eat now! Haha
22:00 behind that gas station thats my apartment its nice to see my apartment i still rented so that when i visit siquijor i have apartment to stay, anyway siquijor signal is hard to find
Really?! Haha, small world
I done Enjoying watching all your video about Phillippines keep safe and enjoy 🙏🥰
looks like you are pretty much familiar to travel like a "lokal" in the Phil. Enjoy
Dumaguete is really nice. Lots of good restaurants. Siliman is one of the few, if not the only, American / Protestant founded University in the Philippines. Balinsasayao Lakes are really good to visit too. Dumaguete is popular with foreign retirees.
I like the strip by the park/water! It’s really nice !
Your number of subscribers grew so fast and is already approaching 20K.
It really has!! I’m super grateful for all of the support here!
that is what you should do if you cant get it in youre own country come tho the philippines and get rich.
@@swissgaming4186 fyi, travel vloggers like him who doesnt have so much subscribers spends more than what they are earning from their videos. Kung ayaw mo manood wag, pero pasalamt nlng tayo at my bumibisita p dto n mga foreigners at nkkpG bgay hanP buhay sa mga tao dto.
@@swissgaming4186 bitter get lost...
@@rosebrown2267 True. I explained lengthily in another video to an anti-travel vlogger why i support these vloggers coming here. Before, i was kinda like that too. But when i realized the boost they give to our tourism industry, i started actively supporting them na. And i realized too that whatever their motives are, the effect is the same. They still help promote the country... And also, ofcourse they need subs and views. That's how they will earn. Don't we all? In coming here, they kill 2 birds with one stone. They get to enjoy the beauty of our country, and earn too, which also funds their travels so they can show more of what the PH can offer. It's a symbiosis where both vlogger and country benefit each other.
Thank you so much for visiting my home town Siquijor Island
Thank you!! Just posted a new Siquijor video!
Bruh, i literally subbed because of the “ma init dito” 😂 Enjoying the channel bro, stay safe out there and keep enjoying PI! 🙌🏻
Your brave to travel alone in Philippines. Your now the true definition of a traveler
I don't think that the Philippines is a dangerous place for travelers. So you don't need to be brave to travel in the Philippines.
American viewer here who has travelled the Philippines and the world. The Philippines is one of the safest countries I have ever been to - so much so that I'm seriously considering retiring there. During my last visit in 2019, there were a lot of solo travelers, including many middle aged women and families from around the world. Many travel vloggers love it so much, they either make it their home or their travel base.
You just need to ask th locals for dsstination and places. Most can speak english since its the schools use it for instructions
I enjoyed watching all ur video's.more friendly people out there .I love the view side by side .
Try to visit in the northern part of Cebu such as Bantayan Island
I would love to.. and Malapascua, right ?
please dont hesitate to ask locals for assistance especially for motorcycle ride, or any other transportation to get to your destination..
Always ask the locals for advice when taking public transportation in the Philippines. And also check online to be sure and to confirm.
Never trust the companies online sites, just learned the hard way 2 weeks ago. I was in Anda Bohol, and should stay there 3 nights before heading to Camiguin, booked my hotel and even bought a flight ticket from Camiguin to Cebu. I had checked the ferry online site that stated that the ferry from Jagna to Camiguin was daily at 1:00pm. 2 days before (Friday afternoon )went to Jagna to buy the ferry ticket and surprise no ferry’s during the weekend, they only operate Monday, Tuesday and Friday. Had to cancel the visit to Camiguin. Next year ill fly directly from Cebu so no surprises 😀.
Visit Kawasan Falls you have to do the most fun adventure in the Philippines The Kawasan Falls Canyoneering a must do in PH. I'm sure the viewers will love it.
I’m glad you’re enjoying staying there very hot and very kind people and I miss is well keep it and just be careful don’t trust to trust somebody
I'll try ONE OF EACH of those food inserts; they ALL look so deliciois!
Which ones? At the port where I was waiting for the ferry?
Sometimes it's a blessing in disguise to travel alone. Coz i notice with some vlogger couples, they interact less with the locals coz they have each other. I can see in your vlogs you make more friends coz you're alone.
This is 100% true… when I travel with friends, I don’t speak to nearly as many locals, and I’m often less aware of the new town/city around me because I’m engaged in conversation with them. You can miss a lot that way.
New subscriber here..thank you for visiting my country❤️❤️🙏
PS..your BLUE EYES looks charming☺️😂
Haha thank you so much!!
You should make a video of Dumaguete City. It's a beautiful city. Watching from New York.
Welcome sir to my hometown Siquijor.. god bless ur trip and keepsafe
I love your island! Thank you!
Watching your video makes me feel like actually going to Siquijor ❤️ like i said i left my heart there in Siquijor
Wowww!!! at the port. The water is so clear BLUE
You’re cute on that helmet! Wow! I envy your travel experience. It is the challenges and adventures that make your travel fun and exciting. ❤️ Yes can’t wait for the next vid. ☺️ We demand it! Haha 😂😂
hahah thank you!!
I keep waiting for ur blog😅please don't make us wait..its hard to wait😅that was a tired transportation ha...can't wait to see the next
Haha, I just filmed as much as I could in Siquijor and didn’t edit much there. Now I’m in edit/post mode. I should have 2 or 3 Siquijor videos coming soon!
Welcome to the Philippines, visit Ilocos Region too.Keep safe
There’s a direct ferry from liloan port to siquijor just take the maayo shipping ferry
Thanks for all the tips👍. Yeah, gotta have a little patience going through all commute. Food's looks good. That's a cool helmet man, it's more like Top Gun...lol. Nice spot on the beach ⛱️ 👌 🇵🇭.
Hahahah.. top gun is a bit better than dumb and dumber. Definitely need some patience, but overall it wasn’t too bad! I would just get tickets in advance if traveling on the weekend next time !
Damn bro!looks like a gatorade water from that Liloan port!never been to that place Siquijor...OceanJet is a very popular ferry in the 🇵🇭.And make sure u leave with extra time when u travel.Enjoy the country and explore more places and provinces!Safe travel kaibigan(friend).👍Looks like a town fiesta in Siquijor.to prevent mosquito bites?..buy a mosquito coil(as we Filipinos called it Katol)just like a citronella mosquito coils!👍
Haha it does look like Gatorade! Actually, there were no mosquitoes in that room!
You should have contacted Finn Snow, since he leaves in Dumaguete.
Nice video. Do they accept digital vaccine card or they need the paper one. Take care
It's rainy season but still you got to see the beauty of the Philippines like it's summer..mother nature gave you favor!😊 Stay safe..
I think these videos had been recorded a while ago. You can't even see clouds in the sky in his videos.. during a rainy season..
I enjoyed your blog.
Have a safe travel. God bless.
