Please note that I shot this video before the abduction of Elliot Eastman from Sibuco town in Zamboanga Del Norte on 17th October 2024. This is the first reported abduction for many years. Elliot had been living with his Muslim wife for five months in Sibuco town, located near Sirawai town where another westerner had been killed in 2002. I hope and pray that Elliot is freed safely. I am no longer travelling in the Red Zone. Thanks for Watching. Please Leave a Comment and I'll do my best to Respond.

Hi, Mr. Philip! I’m one of the students you met in Cagayan De Oro a few hours ago (Outside the mall), I just want to say that you are one of my inspirations of exploring the world and thank you for including us in your video!! Me and my classmates are so excited to see more of your content. Stay safe and enjoy The Philippines!! 🥹✨
Alan Parsons Project became my favourate band after leaving Hamilton Ontario at 19 and moving to the Canadian Arctic (Yellowknife, NWT). Even after immigrating to the States and then retiring in the Philippines, I still enjoy their music. Saw them live a few times when I lived in Tampa Florida...
Enjoy Philip.Iligan is my hometown and now I'm in England...enjoy and take care..soon I'll be there with my husband...I want him to experience my place
Excellent episode. By the way, being something of a foodie(my dad used to own a restaurant in San Francisco, back in the day), I love the parts of your segments when you try local eateries. I've always loved Filipino food(not quite up to Balot yet, though), and everything from the presentation to your exchanges with servers or owners is great. We live(and eat) vicariously through you. I graduated high school in 1977, and back then I was steeped in Soul, Funk, and Latin rock(really miss my platform shoes). Discovering the Ramones' debut album at our Tower Records was a defining moment for me. When I first heard Joey belting out "Blitzkrieg Bop" my mind was officially blown. After reading about CBGB in NYC I soaked up all the music I could find from Robert Gordon, Patti Smith, Iggy, and New York Dolls. The 70s Ska Revival era with bands like The Specials, English Beat, and The Selector, also had a BIGG (see what I did there?) influence on me back then. My best bud Charlie was a Reggae addict, while I was all about old-school Ska and Rock Steady when we'd scour the local vinyl stores. Then MTV hit cable and the wonder of the 80s knocked me out. Charlie and I caught some of the most amazing bands at local venues like The Savoy Tivoli's "Night Club" room in North Beach and The massive Market St. Cinema stage downtown. We saw The Divinyls(I stood literally 3 feet in front of Chrissy Amphlett as she sang. Man.), English Beat, Oingo Boingo, Stray Cats, Robert Gordon, Joan Jett, and more back then) At heart, I'm really still an 80s kid. Split Endz, Oingo Boingo, Stray Cats, Elvis Costello, Joan Jett, Missing Persons, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Madness, UB40, and yes, more Ramones. My younger brother Mark was more of a metal, rock, and techno-geek. He literally amassed thousands of CDs in his life (almost all mint too), and left them to his beloved daughter(RIP my brother). I liked bands like CCR and Journey, and find that I listen to ballads much more now. I still crank up the Ramones every now and then, too.
I love Phillips videos.... He brings you into the REAL PHILIPPINES unlike many other bloggers ! His narratives are so descriptive and entertaining even a blind man would enjoy these videos . Philip is the David Bowie of the Philippines .....!
Gosh. I saw The Jam around 4/5 times. Once at Reading introducing songs from the not yet released All Mod Cons that is a classic album. They were amazing live. First 4 albums are great. Not so good after that. I'm happy you appreciate them now Tim.
In 1980 I think, I dated Hazel O’Conner just before her album and movie Breaking Glass was released. Okay, we really didn’t date, we just made out in a bar, okay, maybe she just blew me a kiss and said I was cute or get away from me, something like that. I took her LP back to the US and thought I was so cool that I had this great music that no one else had. Still enjoy it to this day.
Good for her and you! The Sound of Bread was forever being played on the turntable in our lounge. I've just rediscovered the sublime Make it With You, which is a wonderful tune.
Has the Art Shop a website where people can buy things online? Thanks for honoring the lady who passed away. Its always sad to here that good souls are leaving too early. Take care Phil and thanks for these relaxing content.
Hi Mr. Philip I enjoy your vlog, i’m Pilipino from Australia. I love group band Coldplay. Hope you enjoy traveling in the Philippines. Have a safe trip.
Hi Philip, just googled this on today’s google, this is what it advises regarding current issues, FCDO advises against all travel to western and central Mindanao and the Sulu archipelago. FCDO also advises against all but essential travel to the remainder of Mindanao, except for: Camiguin Island. Dinagat Island, best regards to you, 👍…..
I listened to AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Van Halen and Ozzy as a teenager in the 80's. Likewise, I didn’t care much for Journey or the Bee Gees at the time, but l've developed an appreciation for them lately. But I still listen to AC/DC regularly, my favorite band, lol!
No ransom was asked. That statement is ever since attached to that kidnapping news. You have inside facts? Otherwise try to be factual with what you spread. You can edit your post you know?
@@DennisSleeswijkI posted because I knew Philip was in the area. The initial initial news reports said it was for ransome. I recently saw there was no ransome. Don’t be an asshat.
Philip travel advisory’s are not made up just for the sake of it plus any travel insurance is void in those areas You were lucky that nothing happened to you but venturing into those areas was pretty reckless imho The Philippines has enough islands without traveling down there Just because you traveled to that area before and nothing happened doesn’t mean it’s safe for foreigners
THe hat is still you! I had to mute the music. WAY too loud for me. Maybe OK for Gen Z or hearing-impaired folks. Keep on with the content. That's what I come for.
You’re lucky you didn’t fall because of your medical condition. You could’ve ended up with broken legs and arms. It's stupid to ask people in the neighborhood about the military raid. Do you think that they would answer you with the camera on?

I think maybe half the red-zone is deserved... The ForeSkin stretched from Liloy, to just north of the emerging eye of Zambo'... Marawi, Cotabo, Kudarat, and the Bollox down towards GenSan...
Geez Phillip, you put sooo much effort into the description of this vid regarding the area of Mindanao you wish to promote... or at least cheerfully Vlog. Contrasting your Comment with the vid Description involving a murder and now Today the kidnapping (just the day before this posing) is just dripping with irony..... better dripping irony than your bodily fluids. Be well and safe travels. I'm out. Peace and Love, B Goat
This video didn't age well. Probably safe enough where you were but Zamboanga is not. Just because he lived there, married a Muslim, and vlogged doesn't automaticallyl mean it's going to be safe for everyone else keeping a lower profile.
“So is the red zone safe”? UK intelligence says it isn’t and you won’t have any back up insurance or from the government should things go pear shaped. Wondering around there with a camera drawing attention to yourself is wreckless. Are you that desperate for the content?

The hat looks good on you and the Filipinos like you too. Very nice the many pictures of normal life with the interactions with the population.
I love Phillips videos.... He brings you into the REAL PHILIPPINES unlike many other bloggers ! His narratives are so descriptive and entertaining even a blind man would enjoy these videos . Philip is the David Bowie of the Philippines .....!
I enjoyed Iligan city also with good food. I gained some weight when i was there.
Was never into The Jam at the time, but now really appreciate them.
Gosh. I saw The Jam around 4/5 times. Once at Reading introducing songs from the not yet released All Mod Cons that is a classic album. They were amazing live. First 4 albums are great. Not so good after that. I'm happy you appreciate them now Tim.

BREAD! I never listened to them back in the day, but my lil pinay knows their songs so well!!!!
Good for her and you! The Sound of Bread was forever being played on the turntable in our lounge. I've just rediscovered the sublime Make it With You, which is a wonderful tune.
Has the Art Shop a website where people can buy things online?
Thanks for honoring the lady who passed away. Its always sad to here that good souls are leaving too early.

Perhaps you should visit Marawi
I listened to AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Van Halen and Ozzy as a teenager in the 80's. Likewise, I didn’t care much for Journey or the Bee Gees at the time, but l've developed an appreciation for them lately. But I still listen to AC/DC regularly, my favorite band, lol!
I listen to the same jazz musicians I listened to in the late '60s and '70s, plus newer artists, as long as they are swinging hard.
The Philippines and natives are very good people as their ancestry would bear out. That woman is very interesting and business like.
Good information
Iligan has one of the hihest muslim population after Zamboana City, it increased further as refugees were coming in during the marawi siegge
Aurora looked like a very nice town. Hope you get to stop in there sometime.
That one tune sounded like Steve Wilson 👍
Red zone looks good for you. It's easy on your budget too
What is in the Redzone that's a must see if there is a risk?
Mate for me it's Steely Dan...
An American man was shot in the leg and kidnapped yesterday from Zamboanga del Norte in Mindanao.
I saw your comment on my previous video Roland. Thanks for reporting that terrible news. I hope he's freed without further harm.
No ransom was asked. That statement is ever since attached to that kidnapping news. You have inside facts? Otherwise try to be factual with what you spread. You can edit your post you know?

You were lucky that nothing happened to you but venturing into those areas was pretty reckless imho
The Philippines has enough islands without traveling down there
Just because you traveled to that area before and nothing happened doesn’t mean it’s safe for foreigners
Next week, I’m having my ears sewn shut.
The art shop was amazing, I only live a few hours from iligan I looking for art to decorate a house for foreign tourists
"Oh entering the secret passage"
I beg your pardon young Sir. 😂😂😂
THe hat is still you!
I had to mute the music. WAY too loud for me. Maybe OK for Gen Z or hearing-impaired folks.
Keep on with the content. That's what I come for.
Scotty Boy is in Cagayan de Oro now and wants to meet you
That noise would get to me and I’m a drummer.
Bands like the Bee Gees and David Bowie won the Cold War, the first cold war
Horns, loud music, roosters and the cacophony of the day is too much for me and I haven’t traveled to the Philippines yet.
You’re lucky you didn’t fall because of your medical condition. You could’ve ended up with broken legs and arms. It's stupid to ask people in the neighborhood about the military raid. Do you think that they would answer you with the camera on?
She said " wala na'
It means you don't have any hair.😊
Be careful.
What's your take on the "safety" (for white foreigners) in Davao?
Fairly certain that’s the safest city in Philippines with lowest crime rate.
See how safe you are after a direct location there, MATE.Few ole momfs, or 2.Tell us all about it, Chalkey.
Stick to Cebu, my travel advisor.

No. But I'm kind of stupid.
I think maybe half the red-zone is deserved... The ForeSkin stretched from Liloy, to just north of the emerging eye of Zambo'... Marawi, Cotabo, Kudarat, and the Bollox down towards GenSan...
Army probably had a tip off... whereas they should have tackled the far end of the foreskin?
Eastman most likely the Caucasian washed up on the shore with a smashed in skull.
