Man Siargao is so beautiful. All these coconut trees, so much fun just to ride around there. Love that island! My favorite in the Philippines🙏🇵🇭
It’s an amazing island! Probably my favorite island so far as well!
Bohol or Siargao??@@travelescapesOFFICIAL
This is where my girlfriend is from, we're going to be go there end of the year to meet her family. Thanks for the video sir!
Just booked my tickets to bohol and been planning my trip since starting your series on the Philippines. You inspired me to travel for the first time in my life, so salamat po jon! :)
Try freediving in Panglao!
i was in philippines including siargao late april/late may & it was awesome.out of all the places i went siquijor,bohol/panglao & siargao were my fav. i always motorbike around. i went too those pools & saw that coconut forest view.also saw that man-made forest in bohol which was beautiful..i was at those pools in siargao late morning with a ton of ppl mostly locals & we all had fun jumping off that big rock into that one really deep pool. also tried calamansi juice 4 first time and it was cold & delish & cheap too..but that coco juice they sell on the side of the road is unreal good with those chunks of coconut in there.
I think it’s my favorite too! It’s just different. So much to do!
My bff for 25 years is bisaya, never heard me saying a word in visaya until I learned some words from your vlog and she was surprised!
😂 next time something frustrating happens Yell out “eye nako!” Hahah and then put oy at the end of sentence if something is extreme… for example, “it’s so hot oye!” She’ll love it! 😅
there's one more famous line! when arguing, you can jokingly say "AYY AMBOT SA IMO !"
it means " i dont understand your point!" or '" I cant figure you out!" 😎🤟
@@se_amable001 I like that ambot sa imo, again I heard that through my vo worker here in the states.
And also "Sana all! Haha
Beautiful place everyone always nice.
yep! I agree! Thanks for watching Koala man!
Love your videos. How you immerse with the people. You're a lot of Fun. I'm Filipino but grew up in Canada. And not Fluent with the pronunciation of the Filipino Dialect. Still learning like you. Keep Going.

Nice tour man, i was all over Siargao during the late 80’s most of the gas station is in a small hut and gas is in the bottle of soda. Grreat🎉

Good video bro, yeah that was a cockfight, each to there to own if want to watch but cool you stopped and chatted with the locals outside of it. Easy scooter drives along those beautiful views looked amazing and kudos to you sharing 3B's nice little resort.

Goodness, Jon! Your channel has been growing rapidly! Keep it up! You deserve it!
Thank you! I’ve had a lot of loyal supporters helping the channel grow!
I am going back to the islands in December, for a month. I was thanking of riding the island of Mindanao Island. What is your thoughts. With some of the trouble on that island. Where should I land and find a bike? And so on.
Beautiful beach and a nice location.
Yes it was!
Hello Jonathan, nice to see you enjoying the beach area! You are lucky I have not been to any of those places and I’m from there originally! Looks like a lot of fun! I plan to go there and retire early! Take good care my friend!
So many Filipinos that have moved abroad are planning on retiring here! I hope my videos are helpful in showing you areas you may want to visit when you come back! Thanks for watching!
Hi Jonathan, we love to see your vlog always and this place is so perfect!! I wish to see that place too ❤ be safe always. And thank you for appreciating our country.
Jonathan I’m loving your vlog showcasing, small and big resorts the area because me and my husband are going there within the next few months with our brand new motorcycle 🏍️ with solid stainless steel side car
Hoping you will be there too🤗
oh that sounds awesome! Which island are you going to?
Beautiful place Siargao ❤ Nice road trip adventure, enjoy and be safe. Welcome to the Philippines🇵🇭❤️💜Watching from Florida 🇺🇸 New subscriber here😊
Hey thanks for the sub! I’ve been to Florida many times (I’m from Alabama). Thanks for watching and subbing!
Having a slight taste of small amount beer are their friendly gesture.. that is their way of greeting that is used to their culture in an outskirt area.. 1 full cup of beer is a caution.. But i rather use precaution, good thing you refuse the offer
My favorite Magpungko! Great video-Awesome Siargao!
Happy Sunday kuya Jonathan..Godbless you!!!😊
Happy Sunday!! God bless you also! thank you for watching!
You are doing a great job for us to get an idea about how it is there. Thank you so much. Great. Cheers Tomaso de Grosso
so much fun to watch, as always🧡
Thats awesome place. Thanks.
it is! Thanks for watching Jonathan!
Siargao is amazing! 😱❤💯🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
It is!
Love your vids Jonathan! Your interactions with the locals are great - most of the other vloggers just seem to ignore them. Be safe and watch out for those street gangs!
Theres no street gangs there, the local municipality protect the tourist and siargao island is generally peaceful 27:18
@@tuting1965 I know - I was just teasing Jonathan because he called those little kids a "gang" - LOL
such a good video, love when you travel around in the PH
Glad you enjoyed it!
Next time go to the North of the country. Vlogg BAGUIO CITY AND SAGADA tourist spot.
Always watching your videos Jonathan keep safe God bless you MABUHAY
Thank you for always watching! Mabuhay!
The first time i visited Siargao, everybody was very chill. Island tourists spots we're superb, even the Sohoton Cove was worth the visit. Nightlife is amazing, walking the roads felt very safe. Overall an awesome experience.
It’s An amazing island !
Another great video ❤ hi Jonathan happy sundaY enjoy n keep safe
Thanks Lily Beth!!
nice to see the unspoiled part of siargao
That’s the great thing about the Philippines. Even near the tourist areas, if you drive a bit out of town, there aren’t tourists
Always watching happy sunday amping
Happy Sunday! Thank you for always watching!
I love these vids keeping it so real, and Im planning on doing the same later in the year
i heard you mentioned several times youre planning to live on the island and thats good really good that you find the island as your residential option. however, Philippine laws is strict since foreigners cannot personally buy and own a lot. But, you have options either acquire Philippine citizenship or marry a Filipina 😁
Good God! What a place! Cant wait to visit there!! Peace ☮
Hi I'm watching your vlog everyday watching here in Abu Dhabi UAE 🇦🇪 but I'm from Philippines visit also Pangasinan in Hundred Island nice place also
hey thank you for watching from Abu Dhabi!!
Cockfighting or "sabong" in Tagalog has been part of the Philippines since the Spanish colonial times. So it's been embedded into the culture. As much as everyone hates it, it's been part of us since the beginning.
Yes, I've heard about it a lot and I see the roosters around the country that are kept for it. It seems to be quite common, but it's not a topic I'm going to show. I prefer not to cover controversial topics on this channel. Everyone can have their own opinion on it
I'm a Filipino but I find cockfighting disturbing. I think it's "inhumane". It's just brutal.
WALA PA ATA KASTILA MAY SABONG NA DITO SA ATIN😊
I remember being taken to a cockfight in the jungle of bali with some local guys, was one of my fondest memories, my guy bought one of those losing roosters and brought it home for his grandma to cook, she made an excellent soup with it. Good times.
And it has ruined a lot of marriage ahahah
Nice. They have tipis? What are they? Sioux? Otoe? Pawnee?
Cherokee actually
The shakes are great. You get if from fresh fruits. Friendly tindera.
yeah it was delicious! She was super friendly!
Clear your scheduled calendar and as long as you stay in a safe place? You will truly enjoy the friendly locals and the never ending amazing nature the Philippines could offer.❤👍
,youve been there before, Jonathan! so this is your second time inSiargao, im in Germany. hello to your vlog guests.
Yep! I had to come back! They’re actually back in Germany already too!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL thank you for the reply, as well as that at Anne’s vlog! Enjoy sa among country, Dodong. ❤️🫰🏼
Can you make a video of travel essentials to bring to the PH such as backpack, hip pack, wallet, bag for passport, etc...
oh i love how isolated that Alegria beach area is! 😍☺️city life can be tiring at times.
you mentioned before that there's place in northern siargao where the people living there belongs only to one family. is that Alegria?
Very peaceful and isolated! The town with one family was in Pacifco where we stopped and walked on the beach and talked to the surf instructors! I show it again in the next video when I drive back, I stop and talk to the woman who told me they were all one family.
Stay longer! More Siargao vid pls 😎🏝️🌴🥥
More to come! I’m editing the next one now! Thanks for watching!
Don’t forget Suggs Lagoon, which also has island hopping tours different from General Luna.
Im finally coming over after i get this house sold. Where are we hanging out first once i get there?
Have fun roaming our lovely islands guys! Stay safe Godbless all ur ways!
Thank you! and thanks for watching!
Thank you Jonathan for always responding to me 😊
Thank you for watching and commenting!
I love watching your vlogs. Brilliant!shout out from Ireland
Shout out to Ireland!!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL Yay! Keep it up man, it makes me little homesick seeing all the beautiful places of my country you shown, well I haven't been in all of them but been to few. Hi hi to Anne
hugs x
@@pinaysabelfast1510 hopefully you can visit and see the beautiful islands again before too long! Thank you for watching!
@travelescapesOFFICIAL My pleasure!!! Keep it coming, ;ove love love them all :)
Hi Jonathan, love your videos. Im in Siargao.
Ohh thank you for watching them! Siargao is amazing!
I could tell that you like jungles and a beach nearby. You should reach out to Valentina Loving Philippines , she partly lives in Samal for 11 years now, but have just started vlogging. So does her husband Friendly Russian.
I think you would love that place. They have different fruit trees and you could hear wild birds in their land. That’s somewhere you haven’t been.
In Samal there’s a small Russian community?
Jonathan, how are you? Have you been to Limasawa Island? Since you live in Bohol, just take super boat (super ferry?) to Cebu, then, another boat ride again to Limasawa. Its a historic place.
I've never heard of this! Thanks for the tip!
Great video Jonathan. Whats even crazier, is the fact that all the coconut trees there have the cuts in them from being harvested!
thanks! Yeah, the notches for climbing them?
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL yes, I thought that was wild how many they cut.
About those cold springs, maybe best avoid contact with any groundwater, as it can lead to schistosomiasis.
Nasty parasitic disease. This is very common in Leyte, Samar and Mindanao. See CDC advisory.
oh wow thanks for the info!
Also don’t worry about the kids…most kids in Philippines are so playful and likes talking to people specially on foreigners they really ask to many questions not just on foreigners from abroad but people that are not from their place even if your also a Filipino.And they are very rascals but they r not dangerous for sure…
We called that 'Sabong' hehe the roasters fight mostly happened when fiesta of the barangay is almost near. 🎉😊
We are going to bohol. Leaving this tuesday. If I see you I'll yell "Jonathan opaw!"
Usually around the world, its called Smoothie but in the Philippines its usually called Shake for fruit blend drinks. Also Sukli is tagalog. For the change in Bisaya and Ilonggo, its called Kambyo
yeah I think there was a bit of confusion there when I called it a smoothie
Sukli is still bisaya in Dumaguete, Bohol and Cebu. Our kambyo has different definition.
you're welcome Jonathan
omg!! the puppies at 3B resort!! too cute
They were!!
Wow amazing place❤😍
It really is!
Plan or no plan go out and enjoy, life is good.
Happy 5th month's old baby James 👶 🎂🎊🎁
happy 5 months old baby James!
I can’t wait till I can adventure around the Philippines. 1 and a half more years to go
It's amazing that a chicken fight is cruel but boxing, wrestling and MMA are ok
Well, chickens can't consent, but humans can consent to fighting. Not that I have a problem with chicken fights, I was hoping he would show us. If anything I view that as just part of someone elses culture, who am I to step on their culture and project my own morals?
Is this the same Siargao that Philly in the Philippines just moved to? You should drop by and say howdy to him!
Don't misunderstood, that kid probably have that “hatchet” (or bolo in some term) because it is used to cut woods. The time you met them is around the time that kids like them gathers or assembles to go to a nearby mountain or hill to gather and bring firewood down to their house. It's a fun time of the youth, well at least for me haha
Edit: It's pretty safe and they don't venture that far. Also, most of the time, they have adults with them. They only took dry/fallen woods, we have laws after all-dunno if the law's applicable in that part of the country
so whole some, love the warm interactions
I think that "weapon" is for agricultural purposes? Hehehe it's quite a common sight in the provinces. Kids holding bolo to cut grass or fruit trees hahaha
I was just there in March. I loved it. I spent 4 days there with my fiance
Have you been to Sibuyan Island , its nice, and really not that soo many foreigners the place is amazing☺❤
I haven’t been there! I’ll look into it!
Sukli is more tagalog. Im visayan so we use the word CAMBIO, means change in spanish. If youre from spain or latin america you will survive living in the Visayas and Mindanao because there are almsot 10,000 words in spanish that we been using for the past 500 years.
Beautiful place 😊
It really is!
@10:44 I like that you’ll give her business after she helped you ❤ That’s probably what I like about most vloggers. I appreciate the little things 🫶
That’s good idea Jonathan, Keep using some filipino words in your videos and let us know the English of it so we can learn some basic bisaya and tagalog too, hahaha
That's the plan!
Beautiful island❤!
It really is!
Hi Jonathan…it’s so nice to see you enjoy ur stay in the Philippines…I just want you to know that Bisaya is not the national language in Philippines…Tagalog/Filipino is our national language in Philippines…Bisaya is only used or spoken at Visaya Region so if your not is Visayas you speak in English/Tagalog because other people don’t speak and understand Bisaya like if you go to Manila or at northern part…and also sukli is Tagalog not Bisaya…
Mr. TRAVEL ESCAPES the kids there are used to bring along with them FARMING TOOLS they aren't weapons.😊
Haha yeah I was joking about the weapon 😅
Wow I wish I could visit here
Try sagada its a nice place
Cockfighting is not only in the Philippines, I believe it is commonly found throughout the Southeast Asian region, including here in Indonesia.
Cockfighting in my country has also been a culture in society since ancient times, but since our government banned all forms of gambling for good in the early 70s, cockfighting has slowly disappeared itself from the culture of our society.
Of all regions in Indonesia, only Bali still legalizes cockfighting because the local government insists that it is their culture that must be preserved, and guarantees that it no longer involves gambling in it, but still gambling is still often found..
yeah, I've heard it's fairly common there aw well
I love those puppies 🐶 🐶🐾🐾❤️❤️🥰
Yeahhh me too!
I'm inlove with siargao now!!!!😍
Any background on your German friends? Their English has almost no hint of an accent. Do they work/live in USA? Or are the schools just that good in Germany?
you're right, both of their English is perfect, I'm not sure why though
Can you go here in Jolo, Sulu?
2K per night for me it's expensive, maybe that price if it's ah pension house or something with good facilities, but If it's just an ordinary room 2k it's so expensive, maybe It's just because they know they are lots of foreigner and tourist that is why the price is high, in some place in mindanao there is some Pension house with good fasilities and very cheap for back packers. you can rent for about 500 or 600 pesos for 1night.
Nice 🙂
Thanks for watching!
You have to plan ahead in advance before everything shutdown like prepare for emergency
Puno and sukli are both Tagalog. 😊
That cockpit fight is called "tupada" and it's a normal activity in the provinces
yes I see the roosters all around the towns that are kept for it
Hi Jonathan, I wanted to let You know that I now have a Philippine phone. My U.S. phone only works with Wi-Fi.

So when You notice the name, kyle, it's me Eric Solkamans.
Love what You do.

Jonathan you're lucky to explore the beauty of my country. With my very low pension, I can't afford even to explore the nearby provinces in our city. 😅
