Yupppp.❤💯👊🏼
I Tooooooo, Live in Nj. And I LOVE Filipino Americans. My family has Filipino via marriage. In Barnegat , down the shore.... And one of my ( really great ) doctors is Filipino, born in Brooklyn NYC
Mahwah NJ best neighboorhoods
Man, you're so down to earth and very respectful! Filipinos and all the world love you! I'm watching you from Charlotte, NC. Safe travel friend.
Thanks James! I think showing respect is very important
That is why Filipino people L❤️VES you because you’re so down to earth and no pretence. Pure AWESOMENESS Jonathan!!! Enjoy and be safe always. GOD Bless🙏
still Philippines has cheaper price food😊😊
I just got back from there. I did 4 trips into Manila within 6 weeks. I got to go to Boracay and Tagaytay. I love all of the beautiful Filipina's I got to meet!!! Such an incredible country and as a solo traveler, they were very welcoming. I feel like I will have them as friends forever!!!!
enjoy the world, Jonathan!! You have a lot of Filipino supporters who love you.. Come back home to the Philippines (Bohol)soon ok?
Yes the language barrier is a little difficult but you can get by
Filipino supporters should also support Jonathan wherever he goes.. not just in the Philippines
Don't forget to provide him pagpag when he returns
Same dude in vid. Was hyperventilating over freakin buffalo wild wings. Such childish. Embarrassing the Americans.
My wife is from Cebu. Her family is at Opprah Village, Capitol Hills. She says this is very new.
It looks new around there!
The friendliest, happiest people in the world.
You are a celebrity there.

Lol
Your "enthusiasm" and down to earth way of filming makes your videos a pleasure to watch. Looking forward to more 🙂
I'll keep watching you because at this point it's no longer the place you visit but the vibe you're bringing wherever you go
I love hearing that!! Thank you for supporting and watching regardless of location!
Yes we love all your vlog so we are always watching you ,even you are in another country 😊😊😊 take care and God Bless 🙏🙏🙏
It's a fantastic airport and everyone is so helpful. I'll be back in May, can't wait!
it was and the staff there were super friendly!
I’ve been thru Mactan International 8 times in the last 2 years … you are correct, very chill, calm, organized, and friendly airport 😁👍🏻. Planning on retiring to the Philippines 🇵🇭 in approx 7.5 years🙏🏻❤
I'm have dual citizenship (USA and Philippines) not originally from Cebu but had a wonderful time vacationing ❤ GOAL is to have OPTION to RETIRE in 3- 5 yrs. But 7 yrs is 💯 for sure I'll be RETIRE (45 yrs old). We own house and land in different part of the Philippines however I want to have a VACATION house in CEBU ❤❤❤
Funny thing is just yesterday I was at that same Mactan airport (after 11 weeks and 12 islands philippines) feeling sad to leave back to cold and wet Holland. But I will be back in a few months.
It's partly you and your content who made me desite to go back to the phillipines after 14 years and I will keep following you even if it's outside the country 👍
Oh thank you so much for your support! I hope you enjoyed your time in the Philippines!!
Cebu's airport is awesome. I won't fly in or out of Manila if I have a choice. Stay safe man.
It is! So much better than Manila airport chaos 😅. Thanks for watching!
What is awesome about Cebu airport? One feature that makes it awesome?
Apart from you can leave the Philippines from there
@@BonVoyage861lol its not manila airport.
What is awesome in Cebu airport??? Not crowded, very smooth check-in, the staff are super friendly
We are going to miss you , but of course, we are going to support your vlog all the way. God bless you Jonathan and more places to visit 🩷💕🩷
Thank you so much for the support!! I’ll be back soon!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL you always have a soft spot among many Filipino heart ❤️ Jonathan . Thank you also for loving our country and its people
Lol please... You guys are mad supportive online but in the Philippines scamming all the time and borderline hostile. No. You guys need to be exposed.
@@MagnumNYC No I am giving the reality. If you have half a brain in your head and go there you will see what I am talking about. It's not just 'my experience'. It's how things are there.
I’m better than that ✅❤️💪😎🍊🍎🍠...😍🤗🐣🐔🐮🐷..👍
We will miss you here in the Philippines, Jonathan. I'm your subscriber here in Caloocan, Manila. But don't worry will still support your vlog and looking forward for your great videos so that we can still see the world. Hope you enjoy and have a safe Journey.
Oh thank you so much for that! That means a lot! I’m looking forward to making content here and already planning out videos for when I get back to the Philippines! Thank you for your support!
I miss you kuya.take care of you always when you travel.I hope you can come back here to the philippines.🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 mabuhay ka kuya
Another good vid 😊 I agree about how much better flying too or from Cebu is compared to Manila 😊
I was in Panglao a few weeks back and loved it so can’t wait to get back and explore more ……enjoy your Thailand trip😊
While watching your vlog, my brain took me to my memory lane in Thailand 10 years ago. But, by the looks of it, I'm kinda complete stranger from what Thailand is at present. It doesn't look like that as far as I remember. A lot of changes, huh! Take care, brother!
Mactan Airport is head and shoulders above Manila - particularly in the International terminal. Love that you found this and I hope it makes your departures and returns to this beautiful country all the more pleasant! 🙏👍
Not for long. The New Manila International Airport in Bulacan will be operational in 2026. Plus the NAIA 1 terminal is starting its rehabilitation and it will up to par with the best airports once completed.
@@InTheKnow-jz8pf That's exciting! Those kinds of improvements go SUCH a long way toward bolstering the Philippines' reputation. I look forward to seeing the results.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 ipaglaban mo pa yung WORST AIRPORT@@InTheKnow-jz8pf
@@InTheKnow-jz8pf But for the meantime, let's keep our head low as NAIA keeps giving embarrassment to the Philippines and the Filipino people. Unless NAIA is managed and operated by a private firm, it will keep giving us embarrassment in the years to come.😞
Love your videos and will follow and enjoy any travel videos you put out! Thanks so much for taking us with you!
Thank you so much for following along!
Hello Jonathan, I hope that you enjoy your vacation in the Philippines especially in my place, Siargao Island, I am proud to be a Filipino, I am from Canada, 23 years already here. Take care and enjoy.
Don’t forget to pick up iya a little stuff animal or something when you’re there, I love to see her face light up when she gets a present from you!
Cool story bro😂..
Agree 100%, it is the most relax and chill airport I've ever been.
Ok Jonathan enjoy traveling and discover the world were still here to support you. Filipino love you.
As I mentioned before, I was in Cebu City a few weeks ago. When I was in that airport I went to a counter to get a Coke Zero. One of the girls was singing. I mean, who other than Filipinos sings at a place where you get drinks? Singing is a part of Filipino culture.
I brought up the fact to the girls that many Filipino singers are famous such as Arnel Pineda and Lea Salonga.
you're so kind please come back to the Philippines.. we are happy to have you here
Hi Jonathan, enjoy your stay in Thailand. I'm looking forward to watching your upcoming videos. Ayo-ayo, amping 💕
I went to that airport before leaving Cebu. I have a niece that works there at the airport. I ate in that first booth you ate at the third booth but that’s a nice restaurant.
Say hello to Ann.
My wife is from Cebu.
I just flew through the Cebu International Terminal last Monday and yes, it’s chill like that. It was one of the fastest and most relaxing experiences of any airport I’ve flown through. Folks, if going to the Philippines, don’t go through Manila. In fact, my flight from Canada was cheaper to Cebu than it was to Manila.
Hi Jonathan
Wishing you a great time in Thailand, be safe and stay healthy till you get back to Pinas
Sonia from Sacramento CA USA
Great channel I'm planning to move to the Philippines for a year to try it out, thank you for all the great videos
Awesome! Thank you for watching and I hope you enjoy the Philippines!
Jonathan, you are so nice and polite. I like your demeanor, such a Southern gentleman you are!
Just left there a week ago. By far the cleanest and most organized airport I have ever been too.. Also the most friendly. I was surprised you were allowed to film as much as you did They are more restrictive here in the states.
The ambiance of the Cebu airport so relaxing 😌 the breeze 😊..definitely awesome 👏
Terminal 2 at the Mactan-Cebu Airport is relatively quiet in certain times of day because most or about 70-80% of its international flights arrive and leave during the night, especially from early evening to wee hours in the morning. Most flights operating at night are arriving or departing for South Korea as Koreans make up about 60% of all international visitors to Cebu.
You’re so kind Jonathan❤ You’re always welcome in Philippines.
I on my third visit to Philippines - one mi=onth in 2022, two months last year with a fortnight in Vietnam in the middle. This year, I've been almost two month here - got a 30 day extension during my first week here - I'm two smalll towns south of Tacloban, Tanauan. Monday next, I will travel to Vietnam for a month and return here for two more weeks before flaying back to Dublin with a week long stopover in Bangkok - my first visit to Thailand. I'm probably at least twice your age and making up for the many years that I didn't travel. I'm more interested in the people and he way of life and travelling with my guitar and playing at the markets introduces me to many - maybe even pays for my food for the day. I'll definitely try the mango and sticky rice once I get there. Unfortunately busking by foreigners is illegal there - I might cha=ech out whether I can play with a sign saying; PLEASE DON"T GIVE ME TIPS
I enjoy your videos and I'm really surprised you're managing to stay single.
Actually the Philippines has 2 new modern airports. Under construction is the New Manila International Airport in Bulacan Province that would change the game.
Mactan-Cebu- Visayas Island
Clark International Airport- Luzon Island
I love Cebu Airport, very smooth every time i go through it
It was!!
Enjoy on your new journey and keep safe always, I have been watching and following your videos for more than a year already, hope to see you back again here soon in the Philippines, you are always welcome!
Just New to your page.❤❤ I'm a Filipino supporting vlogger who loves our country.
Thank you for your support!!
Hi Jonathan, have a nice travel. We enjoy your videos and we’ll support you channel always.
May God bless, guide and protect you throughout your life.
From U S A
Thank you so much for your support!!
Good to hear you’ll be back. But…. Rice, Jonathan! RICE!! 🍚🤨
Will be watching your other vlogs too as much as I enjoy your Philippine videos. Safe travels 🛫
🤣🤣 I’m sorry!! Hahah I know it tastes better with rice! 😅 thank you for following along with the videos!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL If you’re watching your waistline, you’ll be happy to know that 1 cup of white rice is 200 calories and it’s gluten free. So, 1/2cup at 100 cals per meal should be ok? 😁 Rice is life 🍚
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL rofl.... if you had rice you would never mistakenly have 'too much sauce'. Like spaghetti and meatballs with no spaghetti. But like the guy at the airport said, I won't be mad at you. 🤣
Thailand 🇹🇭 or Singapore 🇸🇬 sounds about right up your alley ❤😊Stay safe Johnathan
The giganto arched wood supports in the ceiling are crazy.
In my opinion..Its a really well run airport
wow, travel when you can Jonathan.... you have interesting videos! I can't believe how updated Cebu Int'l airport! Thanks for showing your trip...
Enjoy your next journey Jonathan
.. thank you for your visiting PH esp . Bohol my place we Filipino's support you anyway ❤ Bless ur journey tcare watchig from hk.
many people prefer Thailand over the RP for many reasons, but I will wait to hear your comparison
Thanks for showing Philippines to the world.
Best wishes in your new destination Jonathan. Keep safe. Salamat po.
Thank you!!
My wife said that the airport in Cebu looked like that in 2019.
My wife is from Bohol.
It's a very nice airport and well maintained.
I’m leaving Phuket today and grab is way cheaper than taxis here… and the grab cars have been really nice.
I also came in from Singapore.
Amping jonathan i hope you liked our chicken pork adobo, thanks for stopping by! ~Ken
Hey Jonathan, super interesting video. Cebu airport is a new domestic destination airport available to us from Cotabato City, Mindanao. I would have automatically looked at NAIA for International travel, but not now!!
Hi👋
Nice to see you again and your adventures. Hope you enjoy Thailand, tcare, stay safe 😊
Do you have a youtube channel? 2 seconds later...she's the camera lady for the video! 😆Classic!
😂 she was an excellent camera woman!
Hi jonathan always keep urself safe and enjoy philippines , watching from canada miss my country
Thank you I will! Thank you for watching even outside your home country!
Johnathon, Amazing video. Such respect for you.Cant wait to visit the Philippines. Been following you for some time now.Looking forward to this series..Good luck
Thank you for this video of the Cebu airport! We’re headed to Cebu in January then we will be taking the ferry to Bohol for a week. We would love to take you to dinner somewhere, your videos have helped us so much to prepare! We’re excited for our trip 😎 after Bohol we’re headed to Palawan then Coron. Far trip for us Canadians 🇨🇦
Have a fun trip! Yes Thai is loaded with tourists. Even back when Myspace was still being used and facebook was brand new people would post their Thailand vacation pictures there. I haven't been in over 10 years. Thailand is way more expensive then it use to be. I don't remember any taxi being 400 Baht. That hotel lady is very nice. =)
Bro try visit Portugal. You gonna like it too. Thank you for visiting my country Philippines 🇵🇭. Watching 👀 from Washington DC.
The grand opening was in June 2018. Our family was one of the last ones to depart from the original international terminal. I'm happy to have found your channel.
I recommend getting a waterproof backpack cover for rainy days
That would be much better !
@travelescapesOFFICIAL yeah super easy to put over your backpack and protect your valuables
We are going to miss Ann and her cool vibes
I’m sorry… she won’t be in most of my videos.
Seem she is doing some traveling of her own.👍👍
Ur video are jam packed with so much valuable info . . .
As a first time solo traveller, where would you say is the nest country to visit first?! The Philippines seems like such a welcoming country!?
Take care sir. Enjoy ur trip
My mother used to give me mango with sweet rice for snack, in a distant past, long long ago.
I loved Cebu City Airport. Was there august of 2023!
It’s so nice isn’t it!? It must be relatively new
oh so sad kuya Jonathan but im sure your back 100% you need experience and explore another place safe travels always❤❤❤
Yes! Enjoy world! You already made a mark in Philippines! 👍🇵🇭🇧🇭
Pilipino best Friendly/Hospitable/Happy/working Hard People/beautiful Manuhay Philippines!
there's an international airport in bohol, direct flight to international airports. The tiny airport was replaced
I’ve flown from Bohol to Seoul before actually. But to get to Thailand I would have had to fly to Manila first, then Singapore, then Thailand if I flew out of Bohol
yea that's too many stops, id do the same as urs@@travelescapesOFFICIAL
We will miss you Jonathan!
Mango Sticky Rice, looks yummy ! Had me nervous you were leaving PI, I was like whats going on Lol 😅Safe travels✌️
Have a safe travel Jonathan ❤ enjoy your journey as we are always enjoying watching all your vlogs 😍
Thank you for always watching!!
New sub here. Loved that you enjoyed your stay in my country. I work here now in Maryland and I watch almost all of your videos, making me homesick. More power to you!
Safe travels po..looking forward to your next travel vlog
Thank you! And thank you for following along!!
Cebu T2 and Clark International Airport Passenger terminals are both built my a contractor GMR-Megawide. Cebu roof design inspired by Cebu’s ocean wave and Clark Airport Terminal wavy roof inspired by Arayat and Sierra Madre mountains.
My wife is laos and cooks laos n Thai food but never made mango sticky rice. So I went to a Thai restaurant and tried it. It was really good.
Oh I was even thinking of going to Laos since I'm so close to the border up here in Northern Thailand now! and yes, Mango sticky rice is so good!
Loved my time in Bohol/Cebu and that airport, was amazing, can’t wait to be back, I flew Scoot, nice and cheap flight, no issues
Glad to hear you enjoyed your time there! Yeah no problems with Scoot for me either
Koh Samui is the same, with taxis, I’ve walked from Koh Samui airport to Chaweng, takes just 20mins, the same with Phuket airport. At Phuket airport there’s a regular bus that goes all the way to Rai Wai beach, stops anywhere you want to get off, very cheap too! Enjoy the food 😊
Consider the Philippines your second home, you're always welcome here.
thank you so much!!!
good luck to your journey..even so its sad to here that...but its ok..hope you come back to our country..,have a safe trip...,good bless to you journey..,☺️☺️☺️☺️✈️😍😍😍
Thanks!
Wow thank you for this!!
Coffee on me or tuba lol.
It's new , updated a few years ago, 5-7 years ago it was small and hectic.
I've always wondered what the inside of the airport scanner (?) Looks lik. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the virtual tour of Thailand, the first foreign country I've been to but only in the airport enroute to Europe.
Take care and be safe, proud to be from Philippines😊
Certainly I would still be watching because you have a different perspective of presenting things and situations. If you know by now, 'mapagpaubaya kami', hahaha. But seriously, it is nice that you explore other countries other than us. It makes your life experience more complete and that is good. It also makes you know yourself better and be happy with the decisions you make. YOLO di ba? So do not worry, just enjoy and make lasting memories.
Have a safe trip. I was just in Cebu in April last year. It's a very nice airport and the Filipino people we just have to love them, they are so chill and friendly 😊
Are you guys bots or low IQ?
I spent 6 year living in Singapore and did a lot of work trips to Thailand.....mango sticky rice is the best.
Nice vid dude! Thailand and the Philippines are some of my favorite places on the planet. Can't wait to go back in a few weeks!
The Philippines is not afraid of transparency, when they do not fear the camera they know they have great things to offer.
Nice video. Thai ppl seem so friendly. The food looks delish. Bucket list destination
im gonna miss ur Philippine adventure... i really enjoy all your videos.... feel like i'm with ur travel too.. hope to see u come back in our country.. salamat na marami sa pagbisita ... enjoy ur next journey
you are so funny, i just cross your channel accidentally but i enjoy watching your channel. Kudos for you...❤
Thank you sir for visiting our country
Thank you for watching! I’ll be back soon!
Jonathan been following your TH-cam channel for some time now great content and welcome to the Land of Smiles! Although I see many smiling faces in the Philippines 🇵🇭. I’m in Thailand 🇹🇭 presently been here for 7 years but heading to the Philippines in a few months might see you there!Enjoy your stay!😊🇹🇭
Good luck Jonathan, it’s good to explore other countries and see it at your own perspective compared to other vloggers too.🙏🏻🤗
FYI the New Clark City Airport 3 hours away from Manila is the biggest airport and the most modern. While we are currently building the largest and it's located in Bulacan Province near in the north of Manila also. It's calles the New Manila International Airport. The newest train line the MRT 7 will have connection there soon.
Love watching your videos God bless you always wherever you go keep safe
Hey thank you for your support!! Plenty more to come!
Have fun Jhonathan,,, and dont forget to try some tai sticks i hear they are amazing 😊
