- *** YOU MUST CONTACT SULU PROVINCIAL TOURISM BEFORE THINKING OF TRAVELING TO THIS PART OF THE PHILIPPINES.
I joined up with my good friend from the DOT (Department of Tourism) Usec Myra Paz, and headed for Sulu. This is my journey to the last Province I haven't visited in the Philippines. Starting on a coast guard boat, we end up spotting an unbelievable sight... WHALES! This was surreal, and so beautiful seeing two swimming so gracefully off the coast of Basilan. Aftre a 6 hour boat ride, we arrive in Jolo, Sulu, and visit the Provincial Capital to talk with the tourism office and Governor.
Then... it is off to explore the Province!
In this video, we get to experience an amazing Tausug lunch, find ourselves witnessing beautiful artistry and a stunning beach side sunset in the Municipality of Parang.
Sulu has had some incredibly difficult times in the past with extremism. But certainly it is on its way to becoming a place for tourism. I am so excited for the future of this place!
** AGAIN, YOU MUST CONTACT THE TOURISM OFFICE **
Power On!

Congrats bro! Keep on inspiring, never let few bad apples ruin image of whole province, keep on sharing positive!
yah, never let few guavas 😀
Since Kulas is already a Filipino citizen, he can become a national hero for leading the effort to change the badly tainted image of the region from terrorism. Nobody has done such tremendous effort, even the tourism board can't do it alone. It is indeed a heroic act regardless if he do it for personal interest or not.
Go Fin I'm waiting your upload too
So wonderful seeing all your underwater explorations bro.
Next time Finn will go with Kulas to JOLO❤
This is awesome! So glad you finally made it! Looking forward to the whole series from Sulu 🙂
Power on mango bro

I'm philippine Tausug 🇵🇭beautiful💕
Sulu is now a VERY PEACEFUL PROVINCE of the PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.
Come , visit this beautiful place , Tourists.
MORE PROGRESS for the people of SULU Islands.❤❤❤😊😊😊
Kulas we are so proud of you, thanks for considering yourself as one of our own. Power on!!! God bless your heart man...
I’m so happy for you Kulas that you have now completed and visited the 81 provinces of the Philippines. Well done! Seeing the whales is such a welcoming sign for you being there. What a beautiful sight. 😊
The whales were incredible
I think it's 82 provinces
It's now 82 provinces since the Philippine Congress divided Maguindanao into 2 provinces and approved by the Maguindanao people through a recent plebiscite held last September 2022. Maguindanao was divided into the provinces of Maguindanao del Norte & Maguindanao del Sur!
@@rm_alfaro Every provinces are getting smaller. Imagine the Cotabato province before spanned the whole of Maguindanao, South Cotabato, North Cotabato, Sarangani and Sultan Kudarat.
Mabuhay Sulu, Mabuhay Departmenr Of Tourism way to go up and thank you kulas
An old American saying, “Build bridges, Not walls”. You have done just that by visiting all the provinces now. It is always much harder to fear and hate others when we know them and try to understand and appreciate them. Please keep spreading your positivity and keep building bridges. Congratulations on fulfilling one of your goals!!
Thanks for this message
Cuba left the group chat..
A great Salut to our previous president Duterte for making this province a terrorist free place. If not for him this place remains a scary place for the residents there as well as for tourists both local and international. With their airport being done, it's now faster and more accessible to get there. Another hidden gem in the PH and their food looks amazing! We should visit Sulu and help boost their tourism 😊
Yung nilibot mo yung Pinas, spreading positive vibe. A huge repect to you brother🫡
CONGRATULATIONS, KULAS!!!🎉🎈🎊🏆💯 What a feat to have visited all 82 provinces. I wonder how many others have ever managed to accomplish that. There can't be that many, I would think. You must be on the biggest natural high right now, and I'm excited for you!
So much beauty there. The food looks incredible, and the hand embroidered fabrics are amazing! The colors and patterns are all so beautiful! The time necessary to create them makes them absolutely priceless. Everyone there was so welcoming and friendly, and such a surprise that there are so many fans who know you thru your vlogs. Whether you think of yourself as one or not, you are clearly a celebrity in the Philippines with such a broad following throughout the whole of the country. Thanks for your positivity. You have done an incredible thing by encouraging positivity, unity, and understanding amongst all the Filipinos. Job well done!💯 Super Apir! Power on!💪🤙
CONGRATULATIONS, KYLE/ Kulas!! 👏👏👏 What a MAJOR feat to finally complete your personal JOURNEY to visit all 82 provinces in the Philippines! You have put a SPOTLIGHT on places yearning to be rediscovered. You have CONNECTED with countless people around the country -- far beyond your 1million+ TH-cam subscribers.
It's equally AMAZING how you seamlessly open doors and create opportunities for your friends, associates and fellow vloggers. Thank YOU, Kyle/KULAS, for staying humble, keeping your wit, and being kind and unselfish. More BLESSINGS to you, your loved ones, and our beloved Philippines! 🙏 Power on!! 👍🏻
Congrats Kulas! You made it!!! Proving that Sulu is one of the beautiful places in the Phils.Power On!💪👍👊
What I'm struck by the most is how similar Sulu is to the rest of the Philippines. The innate hospitality and the lack of camera-shyness. The tricycles. The way the streets look. The cleaning of the graves. The bangkas. The white sand beaches. Even the kids playing and following around.
There are striking differences, like the main course food (which look delicious), the sunduk markers, the giant mosque instead of a cathedral, the embroidered (rather than woven) patterns on the clothing. But overall, it doesn't feel as strange as I thought it would be in my prejudiced mental image of Sulu. I really really hope someday, the conflicts end for good, and people can freely visit without fear.
Thank you for sharing this. I am so grateful to have had the chance to visit and learn.
Because they are part of the Philippines rin na kinalimutan na,thanku to Kulas to show casing the mindanao
Very special. First, the whales welcoming you, then the spread of food served. The talent of the ladies that embroider the silk fabric is amazing. The resort is beautiful with an awesome beach and picturesque sunset. Hoping Sulu will open up to tourists. It is such a special place to visit. Thank you and Power On!
It is just starting to open up to tourism. You can contact Sulu Provincial Tourism Office.
Sulu is a wonderful place..and it's beginning to open up it's beauty to it's future visitors.
You almost explore the whole archipelago of the beautiful places in the Philippines....congrats ambassador / datu kulas, keep safe and enjoy 👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉
Ingat and god bless....😊😊😊
Thank you for taking us to Sulu. It's a beautiful place and Filipinos are almost the same anywhere in the Philippines, happy, welcoming, friendly and hospitable. I hope to see more of Sulu as l have only heard of it but never been there.
No Mather what Muslim or Christian ,we are all Filipinos .one race and country 。thank you kulas for showing to the world 🌎,the island of sulu.power on and Godbless you always.🙏💞💞💞💞🇯🇵🇵🇭
Maybe for you but PH gov is killing Muslim Filipins for the USA and isahell.
There's a lot of beaches you can visit there in sulu mr: kulas i hope you can present to everyone that my homeland are no longer danger place❤️
After seeing the video and see how welcoming your people are, the more i feel motivated and excited to visit your place.
It’s a beautiful place Sulu. Beautiful landscape too and so clean. Plus the amazing people.
I'm Indonesian, I often watch travel videos in the Philippines but this is the first time I've seen someone exploring SULU, Amazing place
AlhAmdulillahi
Well done. So inspiring.
The whales man. 🐋 awesome.
You are probably in the less than 1% of the Filipino public who has been to all the provinces.
Truly a remarkable and an epic achievement.
The whales man. 🐋 incredible
Magsukul kulas for visiting my Birthplace, proud tausug here... Power On, i visited sulu last March and stayed in Peacekeepers❤
the wales are welcoming you at the same time thanking you on our behalf take care kulas
Sulu is absolutely breathtaking. Probably even rivals Palawan and Boracay. It's a huge shame that terrorism is hindering it from realizing its true potential. That white sand is phenomenal. As someone who has only went as far as Visayas, I'm hoping for more good things to come for Mindanao so that the next decade would be their time to shine.
Dangers and rebels were long gone.. it's the stigma that's lingering and we have to get over it. It's now 2024.
@@Blairezz98 Flare ups still happen here and there so vigilance is important. However, I could probably compare the security situation to how Manila was during the Rizal day bombings. That is, it's generally safe with heightened vigilance and security alerts.
@@rhyanjill Nah. It's gone. People who talk negatively about Mindanoa these days are only generating unnecessary fear. In 2024, I would feel safer in Sulu and Manila than in NYC or any parts of America where there's shooting here and there. And needless to say vigilance is a must wherever you go. It does not only apply to the Philippines.
@@Blairezz98 I would say it's definitely safer than NYC since the Americans foolishly welcomed illegals who hated them while weakening their police powers and passing ridiculous laws that decriminalizes a lot of criminal behavior. That said, I would still insist on comparing it to Manila during after the bombings, given what recently happened in the Mindanao State University in 2023. It is safe, but with heightened security alert. And that's the difference. NYC has weak law enforcement so a minor crime becomes dangerous while Mindanao has terror threats but law enforcement makes it safer.
In the future julo sulu is a tourists attraction locals and foreign, beautiful white beaches, nice kind people's, keep up the good work kulas with kumar 💯💪💖 and keep safe and good health 💯💪💖 GOD BLESS PO SA INYONG LAHAT 🙏💖💯💪
Congrats Kulas! You made it! Now we have seen the other side of Sulu and how beautiful it is. Keep on inspiring. Power on!💪🤙
ang ganda pala ng SULU!..nabulag lang tayo dahil sa nakinig natin sa mga balita..
can you see the military around> so risky as a christian
Congrats to jolo sulu tourism office for bridging up a big step towards new perspective of sulu developement for tourism mabuhay ka kulas and the team and also the tourism and all those who welcome you there
Thanks to tatay Digong for making the BARMM Safe and sound
Kulas- Congratulations! Thank you for making me become Filipino every time.
Sulu is so beautiful minasama lng talaga ng mga news agency na masama ang mga tao diyan pero sa totoo lang mababait. Sana lalo pa maging open ang lugar sa tourist.
Dahil nga sa Abu sayaf di ba?
Delicado.
@@florisoarele174 Mas delikado pa sa Manila kesa sa Sulu at mas mataas ang krimen. Mas madami mababait sa lugar na yan napasama lang ng iilang gumagawa ng mali.
Well come jojo sulu indanan
@@mixmixmix03 - If only that was true.
@@florisoarele174 wala ng Abu sayyaf sa Sulu.
Congrats Kukas!!! I am a native Filipino but I have not gone to all the provinces, just some of them. But you, you have covered them all. You are fortunate.
Great to see some of the people i now consider friends in your video. I traveled to Sulu last November and was warmly greeted by Jules, Cath, and Na jib there at the port - and what an all star provincial tourism team. I feel really blessed to have visited there, as a foreigner, and been shown so much kindness and hospitality. Sir Jules and I talked at length about the future of tourism in Sulu, and of course your name came up a lot. The future is bright in Sulu! Power On!!!!
So great to hear Michael. Thanks for sharing positive education about the island Province
As a Kagay-anon and a proud Mindanaon i feel emotional watching this video. Thank you for always showcasing Mindanao.

I salute Kabayan Kulas!!!Grabe...I've been in Tawi-Tawi but not in Jolo, Sulu because of security reasons...You're so brave and showed that Sulu is a peaceful province like any other places in our country and with the assistance from DOT and other concern security agency it's a good start to promote the province as a very good tourist destination not only for local but for international tourist as well...god bless Kabayan Kulas...
Jolo Sulu is now peaceful, many domestic tourist came here without any police security with them just a tour guide.
Masha Allah finally you visited my home land. I've been watching your vlogs for how many years I'm so glad that you visited Jolo.magsukul sir kulas.
I'm so glad that you have spent the time to be with them ,people in Sulu are so fun to be with,and the Tourism welcome you with open arms,good to know that people should contact them before visiting, 👍👍
Thank you for visiting my hometown Kulas ❤ Tausug are one of the kindness people and loyal friends you can make in the Philippines. ❤
Hi Kulas, becoming a Filipino isn't that easy and I am glad you did. You are more than a Filipino because you have seen and experienced so much what is in our country by constant travelling doin' your blog. That's amazing and lovely to see how you connect and win the heart of the locals. Millions subscribers is no joke and congratulations. Keep it up promoting our beautiful country, you are the ambassador of tourism😅 God bless you more❤
Congratulations #BecomingFilipino for the great milestone of your journey travelling in the Philippines 🙏You never stop inspiring all of us 😮😊Had so much fun watching this vlog♥️What a beautiful place 🤍Thank you for sharing 🧡Have a wonderful time 😊Be safe always 🩵🧡🇨🇦
Congratulations Kyle! What an amazing feat indeed! The Sulu archipelago and its welcoming people are truly beautiful. The whales, that beautiful beach and breathtaking sunset were just spectacular sights to see and behold!
Been there in jolo last 2010 during the installation of presidency of my faternal brother kuya ibs undog. Very nice place. Im in tears to see how tausug now working hard for their tourism. We all know that this time peace in jolo is like the thinnest glass on earth. Very fragile. And i hope and pray that in the future that glass (peace and order) will be unbreakable (bulletproof) its a verrrry nice place. Specially in siase. 1000x better than maldives
This man has taken us around the whole philippine archipelago opened our eyes to the place of our brothers in the other islands of our country, a pilipino would be lucky to reach 5-10 provinces, but kyle jennerman brougth us to all of the 82 provinces that comprises the entire country thank very much sir.
Ang ganda pala ng Sulu. Salamat Kulas at nabago mo ang pananaw ko sa Sulu. Sana Maayos na lahat kasi sa ganda ng mga lugar sa Pilipinas, it's somthomg we can really be proud of. Mga taga Sulu mabuhay po kayo!
It's very nice that Sulu now is peaceful and is being promoted for tourism. Sulu is a beautiful province ravaged by decades of war and rebellion. They deserve to live their life in peace and prosperity.
I hope someday those war torn provinces like Basilan and Sulu will be soon a peaceful for most tourists.. Many people i know they said Sulu has very nice beaches and lots of exotic fishes..One day at a time it will. Only Kulas has balls to Vlog this beautiful islands🤙🏼Power On man!!
Thank you for appreciating the tausug/sulu culture, and also the beauty of our country in general. Im hoping someday, everyone will know how beautiful Sulu is and will no longer be afraid to visit 💗
AlhAmdulillahi
many Filipinos don't have opportunity to visit Sulu like me ... lucky for you Kulas, power on talaga
Thanks bro for coming to my hometown...Jolo, Sulu...and for featuring it on youtube...
Thank you Kulas for visiting my home place its really matter to show the whole world that Sulu now is progressing and already safe place to visit, always watching from jeddah
Congrats on finally completing 81 provinces, man. You finally did it.
Also, those whales looked majestic. I initially thought that they were Blue Whales when you posted pictures on facebook but looking at in this vlog, they look like a different species; probably Bryde's or Fin Whales. All three species can be found in Philippine waters. Whatever those whales are, they seem to belong to the Balaenoptera genus, which is the same genus the three aforementioned whales belong to.
82 provinces now 🤙😊 Maguindanao split into two
Beautiful island of Sulu and nice people. Thank you for showing us the island bro Kulas.
Jolo Sulu has a lot of beautiful scenery to offer, to the local tourist and international, food and their culture as well, hope it will remain peaceful so it will boost their economy.❤❤❤❤
In the late 60’s when I was a kid, Jolo Sulu was really beautiful before Martial Law. Tawi2x was under the province of Sulu,,, in those days people are laid back, there may have some lawlessness, but it was the best time of my life as a kid. Hopefully, achieve peace and prosperity 🤲👍🤲
What a trip to Sulu, Kulas! A giant whale experience. Enjoy & stay safe. 🥰👍🙏
The first foreign blogger to cover sulu ❤❤❤
Kulas, you are becoming an Ambassador of Tourism of the Philippines!!!😄👍
Zulu is so underated. I am praying that Zulu /Jolo would an everlasting peace.
Wow nice maganda ng gabi po from Washington state.
Keep on spreading hope ,love , faith to the world Kulas san .keep safe always and Godbless 🙏💞💞💞🇯🇵🇵🇭
Such an opportunity for your team to ride our coast guard ship
Sulu, such a beautiful place. Watching from Tawau, Sabah Malaysia.
Thank you sir kulas for visiting my homeland ❤️❤️❤️,, sana lahat ng mga bloggers mka visit dn at sana mkabalik po kaU ulit
Tanong ko lang kung may mga foreigners ba nakatira sa probinsya niyo? Like locals married to Americans?
What an entrance to Sulu ❤️🌹 congrats kulas
The art that the locals create there is really stunning, that is world class IMHO, very beautiful. This should be promoted more, and this is the very first time I've seen the beauty of Sulu thru your eyes Kulas. Thank You!!!

Our Muslim brothers are soo friendly and welcoming. it's safe to stay and leave there as they will protect you and keep you safe. i love their food. this place will become one of the holiday destination in future. nice video!
One of the most beautiful sunset❤I've ever seen❤
I am glad you got to explore Sulu, from what I am seeing it is a very beautiful place and the people are as Filipino as any other part of the country. I hope and pray that one day in the near future the Muslims and Christians people will recognize that faith and religion will not play in dividing as one. We are all brothers, we are Filipinos and belong to the same Country our beloved Philippines. Mabuhay
Brilliant kulas thank you for sharing your video enjoy your stay in Sulu. Food looks delicious
