@@rexmascarina2169 It's still mostly for local tourism at the moment. As they've said repeatedly, foreigners are still at risk there and need prior coordination with locals to be there. But hopefully it will change in the coming years. These areas are some of the most poverty-stricken areas in the Philippines because of the still relatively recent violence. Which is a shame because it has a very high potential to be prosperous as a tourist destination, not only for the beaches, but the preserved culture.
15:29..OMG.. it madded me seeing that dangerous jump off in the bridge the worst i've ever seen.. What the heck are you thinking and doing? The current still strong and the possibility to slam in the post under the bridge and a long way to swim going back to the seashore.. Daot gani.. 😊
Actually, there's still some danger in some parts of Mindanao, basilan included. But it's not as dangerous as mainstream media portray it to be. Sensationalized and exaggerated. There's danger to tourists in every country in the world. Take a local guide to show you around especially if you're not familiar with the place. There will always be people who would take advantage of you if you're naive or don't know any better, so be smart and bring your common sense always.
Nakakatuwa ipinakikita nila ang magagandang tanawin ,kultura ng ating bansa,at inaalis nila ang maling paniniwala na magulo at pangit ang lugar na yan.kabaligtaran pala ang lahat.MABUHAY ANG BASILAN ,AT MGA KAPATID NATIN SA MINDANAO NAPAKAGAGANDA NG MGA LUGAR NA NGAYON LAMANG NATIN ,NAMIN NAKIKIKITA👍👍👍❤❤❤😊🥰🥰 sana ay patuloy nating ipakita at ipakilala ang mgagandang lugar ng ating MINDANAO.❤ at mababait nating mga kapatid na mindanaoans
Thank you so much Kumander Daot for Featuring Our Place 🥰 keep safe♥️♥️ Little history about Basilan Basilan was called before BasihBalan ”, derived from their legendary weapon called “pira” which was made of basih, meaning iron and balan, meaning magnetic.
Thank you Department of Tourism in Basilan for helping Kumander Daot show the beauty of Isabela City/Basilan, its culture and its people. No doubt Basilan is a tourist destination. The culture is well preserved which the people of the northern Philippines don't know much about. Thanks Kumander Daot for your contribution in showcasing this beautiful place!
_you are killing your intro narration. much better than any other local mainstream media travel journalist. you always wow me with that accent and style of narration to compliment those cut scene sequence. never thought you would be a great vlogger. lez get it kumander!_
I’ve heard that Basilan is a beautiful place. It is a paradise in itself. I hope to go there someday. Thanks for this great vlog. It is very interesting and informative.
Basilan in General, which includes Maluso Province, and Isabella is one of the most underrated places to visit here in the Philippines. If you read news, tabloids, etc, and U.S. Travel advisories, they say, "it's not safe to go there", "not safe to visit the place", etc. But in Reality it's one of the best places to visit here in the Country. "Langgas Island" in Maluso (Featured by Kulas) and Malamawi are just 2 of the gorgeous places that anyone should not miss when they travel in there. I went there twice.
The province of Basilan is lush with greenery and has abundant marine resources. I remember for the first time there seeing fresh eggs of the pawikan laid on the sandy shore. Hope that tourists will consider this place as one of their destinations.
Ang ganda naman nitong nature at kultura dito. Peaceful while you visit there. I hope this peace is continuous at any time. Gagaling talaga hugis ng kanilang mga bangka at ang bibilis pa. Nag converge ang dalawang forces ni Filipino Kulas at kumander !
Really enjoy watching two white guys getting famous in Mindanao. A kumander who vlog about agricultural side in the south and an authentic datu who introduced the beauty of Mindanao.
He lives in Davao so learning Cebuano is a must or a priority over Tagalog. As for Tagalog, he has to learn it in order to be able to communicate in other parts of the country that are not bisaya speaking.
So glad to see you joined Kulas in Basilan. Yes, I would say I’m one of the people who will be afraid to hear the word Basilan and thanks to you and Kulas that changed. Beautiful local people and beautiful place. Oh and ‘lipunan’ is tagalog for society. 😊
its nice to see how friendly and promoting basilan paradise island hope that peace and zero crime rate to uplift the standard of living and provide jobs about tourism.
Love the clear water of Basilan. hope you have your own merch or just wear a personalized shirt of yours so that everybody might see it and will boost your subscribers. Because, you really have a nice content that everybody should watch and see the beauty of Philippines. God bless and more power, kumander!
Kumander Daot .. I wish I could meet you one of these days!! I really love what you do. You and Kulas are such a lucky person to be able to experience the Philippines. I’ve been trying to travel around the Philippines whenever I get a chance which is so rare . ❤️❤️❤️
Ohhh, those beautiful children with their big smiles, how they love to interact with you! This vlog is one of my favorites of you. Get one of those awesome boats!! Thanks KD for taking us there. I truly appreciate it.
Thank you for showing to the world That mindanao is not bad to visit Remember guys when helicopter Explode in jolo? The people living in the mountain helped the dieng helpless military.....ask me who did and who are the kidnappers i will tell you...... Thank you KD. For promoting mindanao...... take care and kamaya
Fantastic video. You are a brave man, Kumander Daot. But, please, still be very careful, because sometimes appearances can be deceiving in places like this. It is a fact, and not exaggeration like what others are commenting here, that a lot of bad things happened in Basilan in the past. Before, even soldiers were not safe in certain parts of that island if they were not in sufficient numbers and fire support. Just be careful.
I know Basilan is geographicaly beautiful , and its people. I was just boat away when I first visited Mindanao. I hope someday , I can. But my on the other side of the coin , iMindanaos natural beauty , especialy on that area is somewhat protected of its negative image from over commercialism of tourism, I wish its natural beauty remains for more generation.
Good job KD keep speaking in tagalog sooner or later u'll get d hang of it. U learned bisaya n u speak it very well so tagalog is no sweat. I'm amazed with their boats in different flashy colors built to glide over water almost with their aerodynamic design...
Thanks 4 d ❤ KD! I appreciate ur advice to potential tourists to contact local authorities before visiting d place. That's very considerate on ur part. Be a responsible traveler always. GB 🙏...
Kumander Daot reopened our eyes that Basilan is beautiful and peaceful. The people are so friendly. Salamat. I also praised the vlogger for his visit in Quiapo Muslim community . Cheers from Manila.
Nice dance mashalah...very welcome tourist sa basilan see di msma kming tga Mindanao di totoo mga Balita at pnnkot NILA sa mga tourista n pmunta sa mindanao.yong nnira sa mindanao watch this.keep on sharing pra nmn mraming tourista pmunta sa Mindanao mktulong sa ating bnsa.
Oh! Wow! Ang sarap ng pagkain nila mga seafoods! I love it. I wish that one day i will go to Batanes, Basilan and Tawi Tawi. The Northern most and Southern most part of the Philippines.ang gaganda ng mga beaches nila at maraming isda.❤️🇵🇭
Another amazing vlog! So good to see you and Kulas in the same vlog. You both are doing a remarkable job of showcasing the beautiful island of Basilan. Your vlog is so entertaining; it always have the elements of a KD vlog- some history, featuring a culture, gastronomic experience, beautiful drone shots, precious interactions with the locals, and most of all, the spontaneous light and hilarious "daot" moments. Thank you for taking us with you on this wonderful trip. Stay safe always.
Basilan is where isnilon hapilon came from,the guy who started the marawi seige...you really went there KD! thats very brave of you,you are a very lovable guy so i bet everybody loves you,be safe always KD.thanks for the great vlog.
18:06 I can see why you want one of those boats. They look so cool and are fast! Glad you had such an amazing time in Isabela de Basilan. Yours and Kulas' videos made me want to go there and experience it for myself. Puhon!
@@NickyDunn Aloha! Even though I haven't been commenting, I've been checking out your videos regularly. Mr. Wigglebutt is getting big. Keep it up with your vlogs and keep making it fun!
@@christopherturco650 I hope you are ok. Thank you for watching. It would not matter if you did not. Just not seen you in a while on youtube. I hope you are ok, he is a lovely boy. We are very blessed, lovely puppy growing fast
@@NickyDunn Thanks for your concern and interest. Been going through some life "stuff" - emphasis on "going through." All in all, I'm well. Just don't always get to see vlogs when they first come up, so I don't always comment, or comment early. I keep it positive and keep powering on! God bless!
oh gezzz one of the best video I watched from u again!!! The place and the hospitality and how u put them together in this video is the best to learn and engage with Basilan. Great people u experienced here! I’m envious!!
Hi! Commander DAOT I love your vlog about Mindanao,Southern PHILIPPINES it's informative and now in the Province of Basilan what a beautiful place stay safe🙏❤👍 watching fr.Doha,Qatar 🇶🇦🇵🇭
Wow beautiful place pero wala pa gaano pumupuntang tao o tourista diyan dahil sa mga nakaraang kasaysayan ng Basilan sa mga Abu Sayap sana tuloy tuloy na ang kataimikan sa mindanao magiging payapa na ang philipinas sa mga rebelde god bless to all
Basilan got treasures in art and beautiful white sand beaches. The local are very friendly and kind and I love the way you KD and Kulas mingled with people of Basilan. Kindness and respect always open doors to opportunity and happiness. Worth watching vlogg.
THANK YOU FOR COMING OVER BRO!! What an awesome day!

More collab ni Kulas please. Lingaw mong duha.

You and Kulas have a blast, enjoying the company of our brothers and the place....thats what misinformation is all about from media......God bless .
Beautiful island, beautiful people! I like the way you present Basilan. Honest and not sugar-coating anything. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent beach
White sand and yummy Yummy food 😋 😍 😊
Basilan is tranquility, mabuhay!
I'm so glad and proud to see the happy and kind people of Basilan. I loved their smiles, it's a contagious happy smile. Allah bless them more!
I’m so amazed how you can communicate both in Tagalog and Visaya. Most Filipinos can’t even do it, like myself 😃😁
My Tagalog is so bad though haha
He lives in Davao so learning Cebuano is a must or a priority over Tagalog. As for Tagalog, he has to learn it in order to be able to communicate in other parts of the country that are not bisaya speaking.
