  • In tonight’s video I will show you how my sister Charlotte and I traveled the Philippines alone. We spent 1 month there, and got to visit some beautiful places. We will show you where we started our adventure, where we stayed, the cost of accommodations, how to get around, and some important and helpful tips at the end.
    I love the Philippines so much, and it’s honestly my favorite country by far. The locals take such good care of you, and you immediately feel so welcomed.

    I'm glad that you included the bad stuff that happened to your journey. Some videos just includes all happy all in order everything perfect experience. This is real! I'm sorry you got scammed so many times but I'm surprised you don't seem to be mad at all. I admire your patience, very few people can handle that with grace like you. I'd be mad if it happened to me. Thank for the tips.

      Conrad Diozon You have to remember that many Filipinos are on 12,000 pesos a month and after ridiculous government taxes 6000 pesos net per month that’s $170 Australian dollars that’s pitiful wages.

      I am an American Filipino , from San Francisco , and loves to travel. First of any country , even in US have good places and bad places .You see them nice on pics, but not in reality .I may say, the reason others show only good and happy incidents is because that's they all experienced.. I think this has so many negative in it coz
      1. it wasn't a well planned well informed tour..they moved to Mctan for example for a better room but said they barely have anything to do, when there are plenty things to do in Mctan ...
      2. They have wasted too much money changing accommodations, when there are reviews instead of basing decision on pictures lol..
      3. Also the guy they thought working for bus but jst a casual guy who helps with your luggage, that's not a scam. If someone helps , bell boy for example, with your luggage to get on your car/taxi , even in US , you give a tip, but am 100% sure in many countries a dollar tip is an insult..you can give that guy a quarter and hed be ok . so why is that a scam?
      4. The clinic they went to was on an island..The Philippines has hospitals better than some in US..but these ladies are in a far flung area, remote islands, they are forunate they found a clinic. i am 100 percent sure that wasn't a privately owned hospital.
      5. When riding Van express with no stops paying 15 dollars instead of 8 in a bus becoz it takes shorter time to travel yet complained it was packed , for 30 or 50 dollars they could have hired a van or car just for themselves if they want space
      6. fair for tricycle , where she said they were scammed hardcore, am. sure she's just talking about 10 dollars And not more than 20 dollars fair but usually it jst be a dollar or 2 or 5 depending on distance .Again , research or even jst ask locals or like she said the hotel knew the fair, asking is the key. you go new york , if taxi driver knows u dont know the way they take u in circles and pay 3x the fair..so seriously, they set their travel up to fail.
      So basically , any country you go too , youd get negative experience if you didnt make a thorough research..first time i went Dubai, i had a classmate, i went Korea , a friend, Thailand , a student , and so on so forth..but uf i dont know anyone , i usually make thorough reserach on hotel and then befriend stuff and ask everything i need to know..locals are usually nice and helpful. Better yet get a guided tour. Best to enjoy any country

    My filipina girlfriend and I spent 10 days in El Nido. Here's a tip. Fly from Cebu/Mactan airport, Directly to El Nido airport. ($40 AirSwift) A 15 minute trike ride to resorts. We stayed on the beach at MaryGold Resort. This way you don't have a 5 hour bumpy ride to and from Porto Princessa, and burn 2 nights there. Nothing like being on the Beach in El Nido, 1 1/2 hours after leaving Cebu.

    Reminds me of some of the experiences I've had there. My wife is a Filipina, so we mostly stay with family when we're there, and one of her brothers who is a taxi driver, does the driving for us in the general Manila area. You went to quite a few places we haven't. Bantayan is on our bucket list. But we saw a lot of familiar sights in your El Nido footage. And yes, we've struck good accommodation and not-so-good accommodation whilst journeying around the islands - one place in Siqujor the toilet was permanently blocked despite all efforts, in El Nido I got eaten alive by mosquitos at night regardless of the amount of repellent I used, and we struck one place in Laoag that smelled like it had been deserted for a hundred years. This smell disappeared about 10 minutes after we turned the aircon on, but it was as loud as jackhammers, and only seemed to have one setting - Antarctic! The last time we were in the Philippines was November 2015. Man, I miss it!
    One thing that we do when we go to the Philippines, with my wife being a Filipina and me being white, is I stay around the corner out of sight and she does the booking, buying, haggling etc. The sight of white skin very often doubles or triples prices. Being white also made me a magnet for beggars while staying in Manila. They're cunning, too. They'll often get their children to do the deed, because they know very well that children are harder to say no to. The hotels encourage you not to give to beggars as it usually gets spent on gambling or worse, and if you really want to help the poor, there are various charitable organisations you can contribute to. Being a white male also made me a magnet for pimps and prostitutes, even when accompanied by my wife! And they always seem to go deaf when you say the word No. Mind you, I remember back in 2009, I was in Robinsons Mall (a place I detest) waiting for my wife outside Mercury Drug. She wanted some medicine of some kind but the queue was so long we waited there for over an hour. Amid the throngs of people coming in the nearby entrance was an obvious Lady Of the Night. I saw her looking around, and then she spotted me, and immediately she started heading in my direction. The look on her face said, "Aha! A Customer!!!" - until she saw that I was holding the hand of a small boy who looked like me (my son). Immediately, the look on her face said, "Oh Bugger!" and she changed direction away from me. Also Airport staff always seem to pick on me, and act as if I'm there to serve them. I love the Philippines, but I loathe its airports. NAIA Terminal 1 in particular.
    That's some of the hassles you can face in the Philippines, particularly in the cities. That said, I can't wait to go back!

    Hi Camilla, I really enjoyed your video. Well done for the good work. It brought me back to the places I visited as well and it was around the same time too :) You should definitely not over plan it as nothing will go as planned. I visited Bantayan island but got hit by typhoon for 3 days so I couldn't see much of the island. Then I head up to Malapascua, which you should have visited as it is an amazing place and then a day trip to Kalanggaman Island. You would have loved it. I choose not to go to Oslob and swim with the whale sharks exactly because of the reasons you mentioned on your video, it is really sad how this is handled. I am really happy that you have enjoyed the Philippines and stayed safe, hopefully, we will be able to travel again soon and continue exploring the rest of the 7k+ island :) 👍😀

    Thank you for visiting the Philippines. Hope to see you again. When you come back in Manila, stay in BGC or Makati only as it is the most cleanest and modern cities suited for tourists. Also I noticed that too there are less or none tissues on toilets, usually its just a a paper towel near the entrance faucet, i think they do this because many users waste the toilet papers and dont properly dispose it so they avoid giving it out for free. There are also 7,000+ islands in the PH and many of tourists spots are far away from each other even taking a plane one to another so this could also mean that tourists are spread out. Thank you again beautiful girls for the visit, and enjoy! :) Next time you try Siargao, Bohol and Boracay - They are good tourists places too :)

    @Camilla.....I think you need to ask the locals first before calling it unethical’ act. You don’t k ow the real story. The sharks really go there in Oslob even before tourism began in 2011 because it is there feeding ground. Their main diet which is krills, a shrimp-like zooplankton, are abundant in that area. For decades since during my childhood days in early 1970s, the whale sharks have been visiting that area. The reason why they feed the sharks is to gather them together for easy monitoring by the boat crew who are the guardians or stewards of the sea. If they don’t feed the sharks in one area, the sharks spread out in large expanse which is hard to keep an eye if tourists observe the regulations in protecting the sharks or not. You know what, before the feeding began, tourists posted photos on their social media accounts riding on the back or holding the fins or simply touching the body. That’s because the sharks were scattered in large area and tourists swam by themselves to meet the sharks without the watchful eyes of the boat crew. The feeding is just incidental for the protection of the sharks, not to invite the sharks because they would naturally go there because it’s their natural feeding ground where krills are abundant.
