Solo in the Philippines - Sunrise at the Beach
Solo in the Philippines - Sunrise at the Beach
I was once again left sitting alone at home, as my missus just left to Leyte (a couple of Islands away) for a school reunion. Being solo in the Philippines is probably not the worst thing in life. ... but not what you think.
I just grabbed my dive-gear ant went out solo diving at a shallow reef, as I needed some alone-time, with no humans around.
I watched a beautiful sunrise at the beach and was under water at around 6:30am in the morning, with no other human nearby.
I didn't plan to make any recordings, so I left my video-lights and other camera at home. But having my little GoPro and a selfie stick, I was just bringing it. Now, there are different opinions about solo-diving, but rest assured, I am aware about the danger, and have my extra tank and other important stuff with me.
Even there is some light missing, and I basically used the raw footage without modifying (other than the piano soundtrack), I am sure you get an idea about the beauty of the underwater-world.

Carnival in the Philippines with my Girls

There is a small carnival in Dumaguete at the Pantawan Peoples Park. A carnival in the Philippines is always fun. The rides would not pass any safety standards, but most people come out alive from the carnival rides. I went to the carnival in Dumaguete with my girls and we had a great time... well, I had anyway. Other then the rides, there is a lot of other fun stuff, like food and drinks stand...

    Are you staying longer than a year? After one year , they become stricter, but it should still be manageable. I am in my fourth year on a tourist visa and will extend this week, feeling a bit nervous. "In relation to the above, the Chief TVS, Chief SVS, and all ACOs are instructed to submit the name, address, passport copy, and other pertinent details of all TVV extension applicants who have extended for more than one (1) year every first Friday of the month. For strict compliance." from memorandum IRD-2024-024.

    • @DiveMonster
      @DiveMonster 4 місяці тому

      How can you be in your 4th year, when the maximum stay for tourists is 36 months? I think it is totally legit for a country, that they want to know why someone is in their country. And to be honest, nobody staying that long could be called "tourist". It is a great privilege, that we foreigners can stay that long. Not many other countries allow that to "tourists". Having said this, just a few years back, one had to bring copies of passport, including copies of all pages with extension stamps/stickers (when they still had them) and a picture for each single 2-month application. Each other extension was a good chance, that one of the officers took you to the side to ask some questions. Nowadays it is completely painless. Regarding the memorandum, it does not affect tourists at all. It is more work for the BoI officers, and thats about it.

      @@DiveMonsterI went outside so it resets and I was wrong in my comment to call it a tourist visa it is actually an Temporary Visitor (9A) which makes a big difference since temporary can be even 10 years in a legal context (funny thing is that Filipina pea etc and those vlogger immigration lawyers don't seem to understand that. But I agree it is an easy visa relative to other countries I am not complaining.

      If you went out it starts again. Otherwise I am on 20+ years. No need to be nervous. I am here since 2003, but other than during covid, I normally get out 2-3 times a year. Just about to pack my travel bag to see Iron Maiden in Tokyo. That pea chick talks basically click-bait nonsense in all of her videos I came across, as do all that vloggers. I dont follow any, but they do pop up on my feed occasionally. Many of them actually have to survive from the little money they make on YT. Thankfully I am not in that position, and don´t need to make drama titles and put semi-naked chicks on my thumbnails. I started this channel, so my daughter learns to film and edit for our other channel.

    There was an old expat guy, spamming for that place on any FB-group he could find, always mentioning, that he is not connected to the place. So we finally went there, and OMG, it was such a bad experience about basically everything. Outdated design (perfect for depressing funeral receptions, though), non-existing service and really bad food. That was easily the worst dining experience we ever had in Dumaguete.

Me too, find that spamming very pitiful, but if that gives his life some sense on his old days, let´s be happy for him.

      That must be about the biggest pile of nonsense I read today. That dive was at Pescador Island, not any whale shark watching side. However, reading that "it will die" simply shows, that you have not the slightest clue about the aquatic world, and absolutely no clue about whale sharks. Maybe you self-educate yourself first before you create a rather pitiful picture of yourself with your gibberish. Real divers would get themselves correct information and also will know that you talk total BS 🙂

      We usually do that, we order the starters first, when they arrive, we order the mains, just to get the food in the right order. In that case, we were probably way too naive once again, as the lady was well spoken, and confirmed all, including to serve the appetizers first. If there was anything pleasant during our visit, I would say, the chairs were comfortable and the aircon working. With the rising food options in Dumaguete, basically everything else was sub-standard compared to similar priced places in the city.

    5:56 original spirit and heart of the Philippines for the 15 seconds skit. Youth may not realize what is passing them by as they aspire to the Internet. Philippines in 1990 when I was 25 years old, before mobile phones is still dear to my heart. Btw, I was in Dumaguete in 1992ish before there was even electricity on the entire island of Siquijor and there were no cars nor even pension houses much less hotels in Dumaguete. I had to sleep in an old Spanish house that had been converted to place for tourists to sleep. I reckon you weren’t even born yet, jejeje.
