    If the Amazons in Brazil are the lungs of planet Earth, the Tubbataha National Park in the Philippines is the spawning ground of marine life in our vast ocean. We humans must take care of nature so that Mother Nature will take care of us.

      Indeed the Philippines should be one of the richest countries on earth. It has incredible beauty, Nice weather, vast amounts of natural resources and an educated but welcoming people. Your one downfall is that you do not embrace capitalism but leftist ideology. It has destroyed your country. Marcos brought great wealth to the Philippines because he embraced the western capitalist mindset. Every leader since him has destroyed wealth of the Philippines. Hopefully young Marcos will embrace his father's legacy. The requirement of masks in the ranger station is so absurd but its what you leftists do. It's a sign post of the foolishness of leftism.
      I am soon coming to the Philippines to set up an orphanage. I will teach them to be true capitalists. Maybe one of them will grow up to be president. But if young Marcos does not radically get rid of the leftist system of governance, the Philippines is headed for disaster. In the US, the leftist idiot now in charge is destroying everything he touches. This will literally kill many of the world's poor. Gas prices have more than doubled for poor of the world but it is just the tip of the iceberg. Everything is going to get much worse except for those places that truly embrace capitalism.
      So many South Koreans come to the Philippines for vacation. They have embraced true capitalism and it has made them wealthy. And South Korea has no where near the natural resources of the Philippines. If the Philippines ever embraces true capitalism it will be far wealthier than South Korea. I sure hope so but I honestly don't see it.

    I did a lot of diving and underwater still photography in the Philippines from 1983-87 and 1990 returned for another five year tour during which I had a 10-meter boat constructed in Batangas giving it to our boatman when leaving. I did hundreds of dives around Anilao and also took trips to Apo, Moal Boal, Mactan Cebu, Puerto Gallera and El Nido several times. Tubbataha is still on my bucket list because it was the one well known dive spot I missed due to the difficulty getting there in those days.
    Back then we worried about the future of the reefs due to dynamite and cyanide fishing (to capture aquarium fish) and pollution. I’m very glad to see there is now an active conservation movement there and that in some of the places I’ve revisited via your videos things are much improved.

      The Tubbataha Reefs are undisputedly right within Philippine territory and not part of the disputed waters of West Philippine Sea or South China Sea. The Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park is located in the middle of the beautiful Sulu Sea so it's right within Philippine territory. Hence, China cannot make any false claim that they own Tubbataha because it's not even part of the disputed Philippine Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) but an integral part of the Philippine territory!

    My admiration to Tubbataha 🌊
    Back when I was still in Grade 3, famous na kaayo ang Tubbataha Reef and my interest has grown labi nag makakita kog pictures sa mga libro sauna pag elementary nako. Amazed lang jud ko kaayo ani nga lugar and up until now, this nature park is so beautiful- a park of its own. I hope I can visit soon and many more can wander and explore the wonders and enchanting depths of Tubbataha. I have so much admiration of our waters and it’s marine life and makasad nga daghan na kaayong mga species ang classified as endangered na today. Let’s help preserve our waters - our marine life. Dili ta dapat mutugot nga ang atong mga sagbot ang mupatay sa atong kadagatan. Padayon ta mga Sea Saviors! 💙

    Definitely an epic location that's on the bucket list. Jacques Cousteau would be proud of you. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I predict big things in your future.
    After a long battle.....much longer than any of us expected, momma has finally passed. It's unfortunate that she didn't live to see my future plans. I'm sure you can relate Finn. The wheels are in motion for my return to SE Asia now. The place where I'll take my final breath. Most likely home base will be Indonesia, but after watching all you vloggers in the Philippines, i'm not sure now. I'll have to visit and decide. I guess it was good I just couldn't watch anything in Indonesia.....too upsetting I wasn't there. After a couple years with this pandemic, and mommas illness, I really need a break. I will be offering any of the vloggers that helped me mentally escape free housing and rides if any of you want it. You, Wil, Kulas, and Justin to name a few. I am a little mad at Kulas now though. Lol
