The lady is not mad. There are lots of Filipinos who talk like that as if they are shouting. We are used to that, some are because of their hypertension, while some are just because of their high energy😊. But I think the lady likes you and you just made her excited and eager😁🤭❤️
Jonathan, it is very easy to fall in love with you, warm, personable, smart yet humble and culturally adaptable especially to Islanders with their foods and spontaneity . You find Filipinos warm and nice because you also show respect and acceptance with whatever they can offer like greetings , smiles, and shows interest with everything around you .
I am currently in Thailand and thinking about trying the Philippines instead. Looks great!! I might join you there... :) Been here 1.5 years and the language barrier is getting me down.
We'd love it if you could come. And stay if you want :) Philippines is actually the 5th largest English-speaking country in the world as English is one of our official languages here.
I haven't had any language barrier issue at all here as you see in the videos. I was living in Thailand as well, but packed up everything and brought it over here in case I wanted to stay... so far it's looking like i'll stay here!
Just discovered your site and spent the whole Sunday watching your videos. What I like about you is that you are very respectful towards the Pilipino people. Filipinos are very hospitable and it’s easy to see how they are very comfortable with you. Keep on doing what you’re doing. 😘
Thanks for showcasing not just the place but the friendliness of the Pinoys Jonathan. Adobo is our national dish in case you didn't know yet. Different regions cook it differently. Some even put coconut milk in it.. You can "adobo" almost anything actually. There's also Adobong Kangkong (water spinach), Adobong Hipon (shrimps), etc. Music/singing is actually another passion of us Pinoys aside from basketball. Especially there. A lot of famous singers here hail from Cebu. There's even a place there where they make and sell guitars. But almost all Pinoys in all regions love music. That's why videokes are very popular here. You might not be familiar with Lea Salonga, but she is very famous in Broadway and the West End, being the first to play Miss Saigon and winning a Tony and Olivier Award for it. She also did the singing voices for Aladdin and Mulan in the Disney animated films. Also did some acting work in Hollywood, and many other prominent work in Broadway, recording and live performances. So i guess you could say she's the most famous Filipina singer in the world. :)
oh wow, she sang in Aladdin and Mulan?! That's huge. I'm checking her out now. I can tell that singing is a passion here! I play the guitar and really miss it when I take breaks from editing 😂 maybe I could find a super cheap used one around here. And I'll be trying adobo everywhere I go!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL Nice to know you're into music as well.. Speaking of Adobo, here are my food recommendations.

It does have a laid-back atmosphere here! It seems the cities have a lot of activities to do as well with the malls, night markets, etc., but very different from these small towns. I prefer the lower stress lifestyle also.
I really hope you upload more videos! When I saw your channel, I said hmmmp.. another foreign vlogger.. but what makes your videos different so far is how you connect with our people. We already know our country is beautiful so it will be a lot more fresh to see how foreigners immerse themselves into the culture. By the way, how you connected with the lady in this video is just so cute. It's like you too are well acquainted already. Jonathan, you haven't even yet scratched the surface of what the Philippines can offer. I hope you stay here long and keep the videos coming! :)
Been to moalboal just a few days ago, absolutely fell in love with the place, the most beautiful water, the cheapest food, not even foreigner price, and the nightlife is incredible, will definitely come back, still have the moalboal high right now
Singing releases endorphins, the happy hormones. Explains why most Filipinos are generally cheerful :-) So memorize the lyrics of your favorite song :-)
Just started watching your videos recently, I’m a filipina living in California and I love watching videos of my country since I missed it so much! Enjoy your time and stay safe as well! Keep the videos coming , I will be watching everyday! Can’t wait to see you do Canyoneering , looks like a fun thing to do near Moalboal!!
The group of dancers had me in stitches 😂😂😂. I would honestly feel a lil uncomfortable if I would be in his shoe, but I appreciate that this guy's a good sport.
Andre Serilliano if you're actually in that moment you just enjoy it, because the way people approach you in the Philippines are actually in good vibes,you didn't feel any awkwardness. I heard people said Jonathan is so handsome and humble that's why people asked politely if they can take selfies with him😁😊 . So if you visit Philippines in future just enjoy and talk to locals we are very happy to have good conversations 😄😁
It’s happy to see foreigners visiting our country with a SMILE 😃 on their faces. Enjoy your stay while exploring different places in the Philippines 🇵🇭
Thank you so much for saying that! You made me happy with that compliment 😂. I would never want to be disrespectful to a country and the people kind enough to host me. Especially when they're this welcoming and kind as they are here!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL The Cebuanos sound like they are angry even if they are not. The Ilonggos on the other hand sound sweet even if they are already angry. 😅
Hi Jonathan, Its me again! Glad that you were able to rent a motorcycle already. Just love the swimming scene with the group of ladies that was hilarious in a good way. And your drone shot was spectacular. Im sure it would be even nicer in the middle of the day. So far Im loving this Moalboal tour. Looking forward for more vids coming soon. Take care always. Belle
Mannnnnn it's all true isn't it??? Smiles for days and a lot of people that will genuinely help you. I see you made it to Cebu. Not sure if you remember, but I had said that might be your best bet for oceanside living with decent internet. Enjoy the hell out of it all!
Yeah man! It's all true! And my internet where I am right now is not bad at all! I teach video classes from here and can upload without a problem. Thanks again for the tips!!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL I'm sure I'll be..just for visit..yeah....need also some rest from work and moalboal has everything..friendlypeople..beaches..nice resorts..beautiful corals...I bet I'll met the turtle first than u😅hhhhh joke..better luck next time for searching them
I really loved your Philippine series. You are down to earth, and can be connived with locals pretty well. And I am so happy that your subscriber is getting bigger and bigger, good job. Filipinos will definitely follow you watching the way you do your vlogs. ❤️ Safe travels po
If you are still in MoalBoal, I would like to suggest that you venture towards Osmena Peak by motor bike and hike up the hills for about 20 mins. Its about 1 1/2 from MoalBoal. No doubt the video will be epic, but if you want a more epic shot, I recommend that you go up the peak BEFORE SUNRISE! It means getting up at 2 am, and accompanied by a local, if you can manage that it can be done. Good Luck, and safe travels.
I saw this in Mergim's vlog! I'd like to do that this week actually! What about sunset? The 2am might be a bit difficult as I also work teaching English online; it would throw off my schedule. Thanks for the tip!
thank you so much for the sub!! The problem is I keep trying to learn Tagalog and everyone keeps teaching me Visaya, which is confusing me 😅 I don't think they speak Visaya in the next island I'm going to, so I'd like to learn Tagalog instead.
most local viands in the Ph have strong tastes because they were conceptualized to be eaten w/ rice w/c harmoniously tempers the distinct flavor of the side dish. also , vinegar and soy sauce are there to enhance the taste of the food. more so if you sprinke the dish w/ kalamansi ( aka calamondin in english) or those little round green lime/lemon found mostly on the table by the dipping dish. if you want to spicen things up, just add and crush several chillies to your dip.
The gal where you had your 1st meal sounds like she likes you. She told you Balik meaning Come Back. You should’ve told those vacationers to subscribe to your channel. Filipinos love Americans! Really enjoyed this video speaking some Tagalog❤️🇵🇭
You're right, I should have given them the channel name! ooo balik means "come back", I thought it meant you're welcome. Thank you! And she was very funny! I may try to do a video of speaking only Tagalog, hahah.. I'm not ready for that yet, though
Oh wow! That's a great water adventure. Diving with sardines is an amazing experience. Cool joyride too. Just noticed your loving adobo dishes. Thanks for sharing another wonderful and exciting vlog. Stay safe and have a great day.
Where you spoke to the young girls selling souvenirs. That is where you will see the turtles. Before the typhoon, I used to walk on that ruined bridge and watch them in the shallow water. Between Cabana and Chilibar is a good area for that.
Since I found you on TH-cam I have been sleeping late. You and your videos are keeping me up late. I love it!!! Thank you for touring the Philippines. I am from the Philippines but grew up here in America and I don’t know anything in the Philippines but the place in carmona cavite the place I used to live in when I was there. Thank you again! And I think i am addicted to your vlog. Have a safe trip and enjoy!!😘😘😘
Oh man seeing you eating adobo, makes me crave for it (again) moments later I’m eating a left over adobo. Haha The lady at the carenderia where you ate lumpia is funny and you’re funny. Nice vlog. Thanks!
Great video, really enjoyed the swimming with the Sardines footage. It is unbelievable how many there are in one school. I have seen other Travel bloggers that filmed swimming with turtles there, so hopefully you will find a better location to see them.
You are getting so good with this! im getting excited just by watching just the teaser! look like you are having a great time there! keep up the good job! 👍👏👏
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL... I see the Blue Mango on the map of the Panagsama beach area... Isnt the sandy beach part up to the north a few kilometers.. The entire area looks awesome.... I will watch all of your vids and figure it out...
i like that "are you mad at me?" comment from you, Jonathan. hahaha! For those who don't speak cebuano dialect would always think we talk like we are mad. haha! our tone is just like that. wait until you hear us speaking the dialect while we are happy or excited, it's really chaotic with high pitch tone. loving your content of featuring my country - - not perfect but uour hospitality is very evident. I also don't know why we always smile even with many problems in life. More PH contents! Bless you more in your adventures.
Watching your escapades in the Philippines. Thank you very much for featuring our culture and our beautiful, unexplored Philippines. I'm going on vacation to Philippines next year and I'm watching to get some idea where to go and visit. I just subscribed and I'll just follow you. I appreciate the way you enjoy and explore our country. First time to hear about MoalBoal place. Thank you so much. God bless and "mabuhay"!
No skipping 6 ads , glad you seem enjoying your stay in my country, sad I have not been back in 3 years since the pandemic , living in London for 22 yrs now
Good morning bro!...another wonderful vlog!..ur having a blast out there🇵🇭nice!..if u have noticed it 🇵🇭every provinces/regions have their own dialect..Cebu..Visayan dialect and if u visit Iloilo they speak Hiligaynon to better communicate most of the country understands/speaks Tagalog(Filipino)...Enjoy and have fun!👍
I think communicating with the locals in the local language will be much more difficult because of these dialects! haha... I'm going to focus on learning some standard Tagalog
Right on Jonathan, I've been here since Nov 22 couldn't agree more with you,love the people here ,reminds me of how the us used 2 b met my wife soon 2 b
New subscriber here...thank you very much for promoting Philippine tourism....and I'm just here waiting for your new videos and I hope you continue to grow your subscriber to 50,000 and more...have fun buddy....
wow.. please explore Manila and the surroundings when you come back. I'm happy you want to learn more Tagalog.. I always love it when a foreigner wants to learn another language
Hey Johnathon not sure if you've tried Scuba Diving but i highly recommend you try and learn in the Philippines. Im a certified NAUI Divemaster andI have scuba dived in Puerto Galera, Boracay, and Bohol. All amazing. Only thing i would say is take your time in the training. Try to find a 5 star certified centre and go your own pace. You can do some amazing videos for your channel once you complete the course and the training alone will be great. Happy new year and have the best time in the Philippines.
She really was hilarious! I need to go back there and record her reaction when I tell her that a few thousand people have seen her video 😂 I think she would have a funny reaction to that, haha
Ei you must do the Kawasan falls canyoneering that is the most super fun and a true filipino adventure ever. hope to see that on your next vlogs. take care handsome.
Lumpia is a name we call many other wrapped food. Lumpiang Sariwa is fresh lumpia, not fried and mostly made of veggies or heart of coconut palm. What you have there is Lumpiang Shanghai which is made from pork. In cebu there's Ngohiong its fried and made from heart of coconut palm, etc.
Just found your channel. Good Vibes Bro….. you remind me of Kulas from “Becoming Filipino”👍 BTW, sobrang sarap (very delicious), the lady from the witness protection program chuckled when you said “sobre (envelope) sarap”. It’s awesome how you try to learn the language…..keep it up🙏🏼
You probably been to a few islands in the Philippines -- you have 7,600 to go - every island here is breathtaking. The most beautiful island in the Philippines maybe in the planet is called 'BATANES" - visit this island before you go home otherwise your vacation is not complete. Batanes has a touch of IRELAND AND SCOTLAND IN TROPIC SETTING. You tube it.
You'll meet one of the friendliest and hospitable people in the world!! Enjoy your stay here in the Philippines 🇵🇭
It really is true!! So friendly! Thank you!!
The lady is not mad. There are lots of Filipinos who talk like that as if they are shouting. We are used to that, some are because of their hypertension, while some are just because of their high energy😊. But I think the lady likes you and you just made her excited and eager😁🤭❤️
The ladies were so "kilig" with you, sir😀
You're so friendly, Filipino people like that keep it up and keep safe Godbless
Thank you!! It's hard not to be friendly when everyone else here is just as friendly!
Jonathan, it is very easy to fall in love with you, warm, personable, smart yet humble and culturally adaptable especially to Islanders with their foods and spontaneity . You find Filipinos warm and nice because you also show respect and acceptance with whatever they can offer like greetings , smiles, and shows interest with everything around you .
I am currently in Thailand and thinking about trying the Philippines instead. Looks great!! I might join you there... :) Been here 1.5 years and the language barrier is getting me down.
We'd love it if you could come. And stay if you want :) Philippines is actually the 5th largest English-speaking country in the world as English is one of our official languages here.
@@moondustgirl2132 Yes thank you for the reply. Are masks still required? I don't see anyone wearing them. I want to go where there are no masks :)
I haven't had any language barrier issue at all here as you see in the videos. I was living in Thailand as well, but packed up everything and brought it over here in case I wanted to stay... so far it's looking like i'll stay here!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL thanks. I will probably do the same. Checking on retirement Visa options and transferring my money from the Thai bank...
@@cachegagetman oh good luck with all of that! I don't have any experience there
Just discovered your site and spent the whole Sunday watching your videos. What I like about you is that you are very respectful towards the Pilipino people. Filipinos are very hospitable and it’s easy to see how they are very comfortable with you. Keep on doing what you’re doing. 😘
thank you so much!! I always love to hear when someone enjoys my videos! and it's very true what you say about the Filipinos!
Thanks for showcasing not just the place but the friendliness of the Pinoys Jonathan.
Adobo is our national dish in case you didn't know yet. Different regions cook it differently. Some even put coconut milk in it.. You can "adobo" almost anything actually. There's also Adobong Kangkong (water spinach), Adobong Hipon (shrimps), etc.

@@travelescapesOFFICIAL Nice to know you're into music as well..
Speaking of Adobo, here are my food recommendations. These are some of the classic Filipino dishes that i think you should try if you get the chance:
LECHON - whole roasted pig stuffed with herbs (eaten mostly on special occasions.)
SINIGANG - a sour stew; can be made with pork, shrimp or even salmon. It's also
Taste Atlas' World's Best Soup in 2021.
SISIG - chopped pig face with chillis and other herbs and spices. The late Anthony Bourdain raved about this dish when he came over here for his 'No Reservations' show.
LUMPIA - fried meat or veggie spring roll.
KARE-KARE - pig and cow parts (tail, tripe, etc.) with some veggies in peanut
sauce. It's eaten with a little Bagoong (shrimp paste) that compliments
the creamy sauce.
DINUGUAN - pig blood stew with pork meat and innards. Some call it "chocolate meat"
coz of its dark brown color.
BULALO - beef marrow and shanks stew.
TINOLANG MANOK - chicken soup and meat with ginger and sayote.
CRISPY PATA - deep fried pork leg seasoned with special herbs and spices.
BICOL EXPRESS - pork stew with coconut milk and chillis.
PINAKBET - assorted veggies sauteed with Bagoong (shrimp paste).
KALDERETA - a thick beef stew with liver pate (or spread), potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, bell peppers, etc. Some even put cheese (called CHEESY KALDERETA).
BISTEK - thin beef slices marinated in soy sauce, kalamansi (local lime) and spices, and cooked again with soy sauce and topped with lots of onions.
TORTANG TALONG - eggplant omelette. Sometimes ground pork is added.
LUMPIANG UBOD - a fresh lumpia (not fried) with palm hearts inside and served with a thick sweet sauce and sprinkled with chopped peanuts.
The PANSITS (noodles) of which there are many kinds like:
PANSIT BIHON - said to be a favorite of Barrack Obama when he was in the White House, cooked by a Fil. chef there.
PANSIT CANTON - Fil-Chinese fusion.
PANSIT PALABOK - rice noodles with rich shrimp gravy, shrimps, hard boiled eggs, scallions and other toppings.
Desserts / Snacks:
HALO-HALO - our unofficial national dessert.
LECHE FLAN - creamy custard with caramel syrup.
BANANA-Q - fried Plaintain bananas with caramelized brown sugar.
TURON - Plaintain bananas with brown sugar and jackfruit wrapped in Lumpia wrapper and fried.
GINATAANG BILO-BILO - bananas, yams, glutinous rice balls, etc. in a sweet and thick
coconut milk soup.
CHAMPORADO - glutinous rice with cocoa. You pour some milk before eating. Typically eaten for breakfast.
ENSAYMADA - sweet soft pastry bun topped with margarine, sugar and grated cheese.
BRAZO DE MERCEDES - a roll made of soft meringue and egg yolk custard filling.

Thanks and Bon Appetit! 😋
@@moondustgirl2132 thank you!! Lechon is number one for me next!
Lea Salonga is pretty awesome.
I envy those people living in the province. City life is so stressful here in the Philippines. Enjoy your stay.

Thank you so much for saying that! You made me happy with that compliment 😂. I would never want to be disrespectful to a country and the people kind enough to host me. Especially when they're this welcoming and kind as they are here!
Cebuanos and bisaya in general have a strong accent, like as if we are mad at you, But I'm telling you no, we're not. It's just our intonation. :D
haha, I knew she wasn't actually mad; I was joking around. But it is a strong intonation!
Agree I am cebuano too
Yes
Filipino Tagalog are soft spoken and sweet people:) lol
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL The Cebuanos sound like they are angry even if they are not. The Ilonggos on the other hand sound sweet even if they are already angry. 😅
Singing has become an outlet & a therapy for most Filipinos actually! Sometimes to escape the harsh realities of life too!
that makes sense... in my video I posted yesterday I ended up singing karaoke at a 2 year old's birthday party 😂

Eating it without rice -- is like eating pasta sauce without pasta.

Great video, really enjoyed the swimming with the Sardines footage. It is unbelievable how many there are in one school. I have seen other Travel bloggers that filmed swimming with turtles there, so hopefully you will find a better location to see them.
Thank you! That was really cool swimming with so many of them. I know the turtles are out there somewhere; I'll find them another day!

New Subscriber here.
Just saw this on my YT Feed
First vedio I've watch.
Super Cool... Awesome video... I am undecided on staying at White Beach or the more touristy area down the way... Thanks for posting these vids...
Thank you! Which touristy area? MoalBoal Blue Mango area where I've been in the video?
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL... I see the Blue Mango on the map of the Panagsama beach area... Isnt the sandy beach part up to the north a few kilometers.. The entire area looks awesome.... I will watch all of your vids and figure it out...
That's crazy been binging your vids. Much love from San Diego, cali.
Your great guy amazing video
Thank you so much!!
i like that "are you mad at me?" comment from you, Jonathan. hahaha! For those who don't speak cebuano dialect would always think we talk like we are mad. haha! our tone is just like that. wait until you hear us speaking the dialect while we are happy or excited, it's really chaotic with high pitch tone. loving your content of featuring my country - - not perfect but uour hospitality is very evident. I also don't know why we always smile even with many problems in life.
More PH contents! Bless you more in your adventures.
Wow! Nice adventure... Love to watch your video.. keep it up!
Thank you for watching!!
cant stop laughing 😂😂 .. we filipinos really love interacting with foreigners coz we find you very handsome like you are 😊😊

I love your video so much, Jonathan. Your adventure is inspiring, excited, and fun!

Have fun doing your vlog here in the Philippines!
Good morning bro!...another wonderful vlog!..ur having a blast out there🇵🇭nice!..if u have noticed it 🇵🇭every provinces/regions have their own dialect..Cebu..Visayan dialect and if u visit Iloilo they speak Hiligaynon to better communicate most of the country understands/speaks Tagalog(Filipino)...Enjoy and have fun!👍
I think communicating with the locals in the local language will be much more difficult because of these dialects! haha... I'm going to focus on learning some standard Tagalog
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL ...Enjoy the 🇵🇭 and it's hospitality!
Tagalog is our national dialect and english is second based on our education
nice travel to the philippines.

Sweet video. You went right by my wife’s house there in moalboal. I’ll be back in October
wow.. please explore Manila and the surroundings when you come back. I'm happy you want to learn more Tagalog.. I always love it when a foreigner wants to learn another language
I have a lot more to see in Manila! I actually do have a Binondo video that I might post.
Thanks for choosing the Philippines enjoy your stay in Cebu
Hey Johnathon not sure if you've tried Scuba Diving but i highly recommend you try and learn in the Philippines. Im a certified NAUI Divemaster andI have scuba dived in Puerto Galera, Boracay, and Bohol. All amazing. Only thing i would say is take your time in the training. Try to find a 5 star certified centre and go your own pace. You can do some amazing videos for your channel once you complete the course and the training alone will be great. Happy new year and have the best time in the Philippines.
Jonathan your famous there...your new subscriber..
Also check out Lambug Beach in Badian. Probably the best beach in the area. You're very close to it.
Perfect! I was looking for a video idea for today, that might be it!
Thank you!!
Keep safe always and have fun 👍
Thank you!!
That Store personnel so hilarious. She's being sarcastically joking 😂 Enjoy the Philippines
She really was hilarious! I need to go back there and record her reaction when I tell her that a few thousand people have seen her video 😂 I think she would have a funny reaction to that, haha
She’s not mad. Bisaya accent are strong and we sound mad.lol😂. I truly enjoyed your channel
thanks for bringing me along man..
Ei you must do the Kawasan falls canyoneering that is the most super fun and a true filipino adventure ever. hope to see that on your next vlogs. take care handsome.
keep on showing the beauty of the philippines and good culture. keep it up❤❤❤
Lumpia is a name we call many other wrapped food. Lumpiang Sariwa is fresh lumpia, not fried and mostly made of veggies or heart of coconut palm. What you have there is Lumpiang Shanghai which is made from pork. In cebu there's Ngohiong its fried and made from heart of coconut palm, etc.
I'm happy you're enjoying your stay 😊😊😊 Have fun on the other PH destinations that you are visiting soon! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Watching all the time.
Wow a lot of sardines awesome ❤❤❤❤
Now i want to go to Moalbaol. Thank you for your vlog. Please enjoy your stay and keep safe.
I love cebu too every time we had our vacation with my husband we went always cebu in moalboal very nice
Just found your channel. Good Vibes Bro….. you remind me of Kulas from “Becoming Filipino”👍
BTW, sobrang sarap (very delicious), the lady from the witness protection program chuckled when you said “sobre (envelope) sarap”. It’s awesome how you try to learn the language…..keep it up🙏🏼
I’m spending 6 months in Philippines next year and I’m definitely going to cebu.
Good luck bro stay safe & enjoy the beauty of my country 👍
Thank you!
Hi i like your energy and interaction with the people thats why i subscribed right away!Enjoy,good luck and God bless you more!
Lumpiang shanghai!! Sobrang sarap! 😊☺️🇵🇭👍
I was close! 😂 I got it now! Salamat!
Great video Johnson
You probably been to a few islands in the Philippines -- you have 7,600 to go - every island here is breathtaking. The most beautiful island in the Philippines maybe in the planet is called 'BATANES" - visit this island before you go home otherwise your vacation is not complete. Batanes has a touch of IRELAND AND SCOTLAND IN TROPIC SETTING.
You tube it.
Spent three weeks there, So freeking beautiful.
sobrang sarap, very delicious, in Cebu its like Lami Kaayo
New subscriber here! More local interaction. Take care and enjoy! ❤️🇵🇭🫰
Thank you for the sub!! Local interactions are my favorite part of making the videos!
