I learned a lesson from this typhoon, when my Wife and I make it over there eventually I will make sure I have a back up plan for everything that I can think of, a well solid constructed home like yours with solid block or concrete, a good metal roof, chainsaw, generator, stash of cash, food provisions, gasoline. etc.
It seems the surrounding trees sacrificed themselves to protect your home! Your house looks untouched! Amazing! I can only imagine that the builders did a great job on the roof construction. Well done!
That is such a cute little house. Take pictures and send them to your contractor. No major damage after a storm that strong is saying something. Kudo's to the contractors and architect. Nothing warms my heart than seeing neighbors helping neighbors like those guys with the chain saws. Here in the US we have natural disasters all the time. Hurricanes on the Atlantic & Gulf coasts, tornadoes in the center part of the state, earthquakes on the west coast. Blizzards in the north. The problem here. Many people EXPECT the government to come save their rear ends IMMEDIATLY. It just does not work like that. It takes time to get the resources gathered and then moved and delivered and that's here in the USA where we have the ability the move things like no other. It still takes time. You have to be able to support yourself and your family for at least a week and in some cases two weeks if you are in a remote area. I've been watching many video's on the aftermath of Odette and a few things are extremely clear. * Odette was a massive storm with a very wide damage path * The spirit of many Filipino's is just amazing to behold. Still smiling & laughing So happy to see your parents house survived with minimal damage. Looks like mom gets to redo the garden.
im so glad i found this video. atleast I am able to see and know how the typhoon affected Dauis area. I saw the news about the typhoon and saw how it affected other parts of bohol, and it broke my heart. I am based in the UK but my family is in Mariveles Dauis. I haven't heard from my family for 4 days now. i have no other contact. I don't know how they are and don't know what the state of our property is in. I am glad you are safe and so are the other residents. I am still trying to reach my family and praying they are alright. If by any chance you can pass by Mariveles.... please let me know. thank you
Good person like you you should be lucky as the disastrous typhoon ravaged most the bisayan and some Mindanao island . Being good person is for sure deserve to be protected. You seems for me is a strong positive person as well proud to have you around on that place .
Hello i did not skip the adds to help you take care there in Philippines, you know my mother house are back to zero,buts it's OK important things that they are OK.i was smiled to see you that you are happy to live my country. Watching here in Kuwait😊
Glad to see your house and family survived well under the circumstances. I understand why many want to live in the province. We didn't get electric back in my condo in Cebu City for about 12 days. The generator ran out of fuel and a week later with fuel, it would only run a couple of hours/day. Internet is still down more than 3 weeks later. Water is reliable again for the past week but many have to wait for the water truck to fill containers.
the good part here is your house stood the test of Odette.. that how mother nature works.. you be fine and recover strong.. last, your humble home is a paradise man.. ill quit my job here overseas to stay in that lovely home and live a quiet life away from city.
Hi , Thank you for sharing , i hope and pray ,,all,, will help the Fishermen to Sail soon , to help the Fishermen to Fix there Ships , Boats , so they can catch Fish to feed everyone . Blessings , Be Happy =)
I'm a new subscriber here sir.. i enjoyed watching your vlogs since i subscribe a week ago. Then this thing happen.. it's very sad.. but i'm glad you and your family are safe.. i'm from Bulacan suffering from depression. So much sadness for me watching the situation over there in bohol.. hope everybody is ok..
OMG 🙏so sorry 🙏hopefully there will be no more typhoon like this anymore in the Philippines..We Pray for Bohol ,Siagao 🙏 and all the victims from other places too. 🙏😥stay safe too from covid/ omicron good luck 🍀
@@BoholisAwesome Hey - I'm looking for our friend living on Bohol island, he's a vlogger from Poland, here is his YT channel: th-cam.com/users/UcieczkaDoRajuVlogvideos - if you get any info about him, if he lives or not or whatever just let us know about! Please! Greetings from Poland and we will be organizing some charity actions for all of you in the Philippines!
Oh! I saw Your house still standing! Thank God!!! But i feel sorry For those people who lost their belongings, but still theyre blesses coz they werent hurt and material things can be have again.
YYYikes! Thanks for the report. Many electric power lines are down. My guess is that electricity won't be on for 6 weeks. Do you have Richli water? It could take that long to get water service as well. No electricity = no pumps. We're in the US but we have a house in Songculan.
Thanks. Yes 4-6 weeks is a good estimate. After getting online and seeing the damage everywhere around the province, it’s going to be a long time. I do have Richli. They have generators but there is some other issue they are working on. Fingers crossed.
Island living is really hard during typhoon season. Since I'm a lazy person, I can only really live in the capital Manila. I can't kill boa and cobras so rural isnt for me. But my family says Bohol is beautiful when they went there. I hope Bohol gets speedy recovery.
it will cuz this is nothing compare to the earthquake in 2013 which did a lot of damaged in bohol ..... but siargao island was hit really good to this typhoon ..... hope, they can recover fast .....
Hello friend, we are so sorry to see that devastation by the typhoon.. Are you in Songculan? We have friends there.. best regards from Marc and Tikay happiness in France
Thank you 🙏 I’m in San Isidro. If you’d like me to check on them please send an email to boholisawesome at gmail with directions and I can go check on them.
Gud pm been watching your videos since yesterday. Pls update if its possible how is San Isidro, Talibon, Bohol I have relatives there and when typhoon landed in bohol there was a wake in their house coz a relative died the day before the typhoon came. Cant contact them pls if you could help reach them for me. Thank you very much.
Hi 👋 I’d love to go there but the gasoline situation is very bad. I can’t even get to the city. I’m almost stuck at home with no gasoline to go out and help.
Hello. Thanks. I’m not exactly sure of the technical side. We had an engineer come to the property before we did the blueprints. They made sure it was constructed properly. We did very well after the storm so I guess they did a good job haha.
Can you tell me what are those trees that have mostly fallen other than coconut mangoes and banana. I saw you cutting some near your house. We are most thankful to a number of vloggers who showed us the conditions on the ground. We who are outside of the areas hit by the typhoon are clueless.
OK I'm sorry but I've just gotta ask how can you leave your home specifically hoping to find power to charge your devices and don't bring your power adapter? LOL that sounds like something I would do
Can I ask how you were able to upload onto TH-cam? I hear the signals intermittent. I'm due back to San Isidro, Dauis myself for the holidays but I need to be able to work -send and receive files etc is it totally feasible or a pain to connect? Also, thanks for the updates
Hello. At my house I have connection a little bit. Not all the time. It took a very long time to upload. I don’t think it will be good for work. We have no power for a month at least.
Yup its less expensive to build a dream house in the Philippines than in a foreign land of course!but because of all the yearly typhoons it can ended up with disasters most times. So its not worth it, considering the logistics and government enforcements are so slow there i rather not. Even if u build a mansion to whatever u want there if alot of times theres no running water sometimes it’s stopped due to shortages and the electric power most of the times are out, so it makes no sense. Thats y i sold my house there! goodluck
I would like to try to go there but gas is very hard to find now. I think Paolo Rigotti has been there yesterday and did a vlog. Maybe posting today not sure
@@BoholisAwesome what a sad situation, thaks for your imformation. .sir.. my village now asking for help In VILLA TERESITA UBAY BOHOL..NO FOODS, NO SHELTER....Im just worrying about my family now becoz im far from them im now in manila...
Sorry I don’t know him or the Stanley house. But so far in Dauis there are no casualties. If you can send me instructions where his house is I can check. Send to boholisawesome at gmail Thanks 🙏

The downside living in philippines specially in visayas rigion like bohol is always infested by typhoons. You would be experiencing typhoons 4-5 times a year.
I will never understand why westerners invest in land or condos in third-world countries, when they essentially really can't own anything, and the rules and regulations change overnight, as in they're meaningless. Rent a nice house in a nice neighborhood, or a nice apartment, it's dirt cheap and you don't have any upkeep or maintenance issues, period. You call the landlord whenever things break down, or simply walk away and find an even better place, again, dirt cheap. Invest in your own western country where you presumably have real laws, regulations and transparency, none of which exist in SEA for a foreigner. What's the point of all this except creating headaches for yourselves and throwing money away. If it's just to gift to your gf or wife that's obviously fine, since it can't be in a foreigners name anyway, but what woman will want to sit out in a remote home alone eventually, after the husband is gone, it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. SEA cultures are incredible tribal, they like neighbors close by, like really close, as well as walking distance to local shopping like food etc...this is so dumb and only westerners come up with these ideas. Unbelievable really.

Definitely. I wish I had.
Great that your home is fine! Those are really very sad aftermath sights! But what really sucks in the Philippines is the local govts.reeponse!!

Sir, do you know if Sagbayan and Bilar experience flooding? I am worried because I have friends there and no contact yet.
I don’t think anything flood there. Loboc has flood because the dam in Sevilla broke.
Little Jana I will look for you , near Tubigon ,Bohol
Sorry I haven’t been to Tubigon yet
Hi, nice channel ... tell me.. what did you do to ensure that your house is earthquake / storm resistant?
Hello. Thanks. I’m not exactly sure of the technical side. We had an engineer come to the property before we did the blueprints. They made sure it was constructed properly. We did very well after the storm so I guess they did a good job haha.
Wow your house is ok
Thankfully yes 👍
where do you buy your grocery, seems so remote ttheres not even a store in sight?
There are some shops not far away. We live in nature 😊
Like Kentucky widespread of damage houses during the tornado last week a lot people's died and still looking for survivors..
Crazy 😞
🙏🙏🙏💪
🙏
I bet you are glad you went with a concrete structure instead of the native coconut / wood alternative that foreigners / tourists usually prefer.
Very glad. Thanks 🙏
Iam from south Texas I experienced several hurricanes in my life time is this storm a first for u?
Yes this is a first for me. I grew up in Canada.
@@BoholisAwesome yes bohol is beautiful I stay at heanna resort wish I had explore alona beach a lot more maybe next time.
Praying that Bohol will recovered soon from typhoon Odette devastations.🙏🙏

Can you tell me what are those trees that have mostly fallen other than coconut mangoes and banana. I saw you cutting some near your house. We are most thankful to a number of vloggers who showed us the conditions on the ground. We who are outside of the areas hit by the typhoon are clueless.
Many around here are mahogany. I’m not sure the others. Thanks 🙏
Thank you for your reply. Mahogany is not native to the Philippines. I was told that it makes the land acidic and could be harmful to the environment.
OK I'm sorry but I've just gotta ask how can you leave your home specifically hoping to find power to charge your devices and don't bring your power adapter? LOL that sounds like something I would do
Haha 😅
With your location you should get solar power energy off grid.So when there's brown out your house will have electricity.
Agreed. I may have to make that investment. I thought it’s still expensive and had to make a choice for the budget.
Can I ask how you were able to upload onto TH-cam? I hear the signals intermittent. I'm due back to San Isidro, Dauis myself for the holidays but I need to be able to work -send and receive files etc is it totally feasible or a pain to connect? Also, thanks for the updates
Hello. At my house I have connection a little bit. Not all the time. It took a very long time to upload. I don’t think it will be good for work. We have no power for a month at least.
Their is an American Gentleman in Bohol called Michael Fazio, do you know if He is OK after the Typhoon?
I asked around and nobody knows him. But there have been no casualties in Dauis so far.
So sad,for this place I think in 2013 is earthquake and now typhoon 😢keep strong to all boholinio.
Thank you 🙏
Any news out of Puerto princesa? My ex husband lives there and we can't get any news

Yup its less expensive to build a dream house in the Philippines than in a foreign land of course!but because of all the yearly typhoons it can ended up with disasters most times.

Yeah luckily we had no damage
Imagine this happening 100 years ago man no indication there's a hurricane and then boom
I can’t imagine
its more bad in ubay area a lot of houses damage
Yes very bad there
I hope next time if their is an incoming typhoon trim down immediately the sorrounding trees so that if hit by typhoon it wont fall down
Luckily we did trim the biggest tree behind our house. Very fortunate. Thanks 🙏

Don’t plant trees near the house according to Chinese fengshui
Ok 👍
vn if u do get a signal it will be no good because u will not be abble to make a call to any because the rest of the country has no signal
