Discovering the Secrets of Guimaras Philippines SLOW TRAVEL
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 вер 2023
- Guimaras is an island province located in Western Visayas, Philippines that boasts of rich resources and beautiful coastlines. The “Guimarasnons” are the proud locals of the thriving group of islands that is known to have one of the best and sweetest mangoes in the world and the freshest seafood that you will ever taste in this lifetime. We took the unfamiliar road during our visit to get to know the people of Guimaras during their normal routine that’s not usually seen by tourists.
Take a serene break with us and watch the video until the end to discover Guimaras in its raw beauty and form.
Special thanks to these people who made this documentary possible:
Councilor Katya Tico Delgado - Jordan, Guimaras LGU

I nominate Erwan for DOT secretary and FEATR as the new tourism department. You're doing more work than the current officials in showcasing our country and culture with zero confidential funds in place. Bravo!
Very wrong
Wrong... Erwan don't deserve to be part of politics where everyone is being criticized whatever color you represent, whichever side you choose to be in.
@@HuwagSalangin chill dude. It is a satire. He is doing a great job promoting our culture better than the people in position, that are paid for by our taxes, to do so.
It's so impressive to see how FEATR keeps improving their channel to showcase not only amazing delicacies in the Philippines but to capture the sceneries, let the locals talk about their stories, cultures and traditions for Filipinos to get inspired and be more curious about our own nation as well other than foreigners.
I am so glad that this type of melancholic voice over is still present in Featr’s content. Loved it back in the Overnight Series and love it still to this day. Great job, Featr team!
Thanks for staying with us! ❤️
Yeah agreee
A masterpiece. I've been to guimaras multiple time already but it seems there's a lot i haven't explored after seeing this video. Thank you for featuring the lives of the locals. It made me appreciate how hard working they are and we need to support more of their products. Keep it up. More videos likes this please. Thank you!
I am from Guimaras and I have friends who live in Brgy. Morobuan. Life there is simple and peaceful.
6:45 I absolutely love the fact that the sails are accurate. Real paraw-style indigenous crab-claw sails with accurate rigging. They may not be preserved in modern motorized boats, but they can live on in these models.
Dont get me wrong, I appreciate that you features places/islands here in our homeland..but one can not do justice of how truly beautiful our homeland is, and the people living in it together with their way of living, IN JUST A COUPLE OF MINUTES. I want a longer video of this 😂 ...eh kasi nakakabitin 😂😂
Can i just say ,that this deserve so much praise. Yung tipong 8minutes video pero ang galing at ang daming learning. It captures the heart of locals din sa guimaras.
I love guimaras
been to guimaras twice, laid back lifestyle and peaceful. salamat Erwan and Featr team, great job!
kudos to the writer. As always you guys are great! my parents are from ILOILO 💕
The feels this early Sunday morning makes me miss Guimaras. Thank you for this superb storytelling .
Glad you enjoyed it!
SO SO SO BEAUTIFUL MIND BLOWING 🤯🤯🤯
Hindi naman ako taga guimaras pero naiiyak ako sa narration. 😢🧡
Most underrated province IMO. Been going there since I was a child, I consider myself half-Guimarasnon since my mom's from Nueva Valencia.❤
My mother's clan is Gonzaga from Barrio Magamay, Nueva Valencia.....my second home as a kid growing up in Jaro, Iloilo City where my father is from. I would spend summers there during my childhood and Guimaras was still a sub-province of Iloilo...running barefoot in the rice fields, ride the jeepneys on the roof, getting water from the well down the hillside....no electricity, no running water, roads are dirt, accompanying my grandpa to the beach so he could catch some fish for dinner while I stay on the beach and just play around waiting for him...walking to the next town for their fiesta along with my cousins and uncles and aunts and various other relatives in the middle of the night in absolute darkness using palm leaves as torches....those were the good ol' days.
nice BGM, nice voice over... excellent scenery.. i never thought we dont have content like this.. hope you cover all our heritage, specially history, food and culture and i hope reach all of our indigenous people here in Philippines.. i love this kind of content..
Thank you, FEATR, for making me appreciate my own country more than ever thanks to your videos and documentaries beautifully highlighting the place, the culture, the food, the people, and their stories ❤
Thank you Erwan for this series I have been looking forward to visit Guimaras I had read about the beauty of this land hopefully I’ll have the chance to visit this beautiful place many thanks your avid follower from Northern California. Stay safe and cool.🙏♥️🙏
I would love to visit this place, people are living with peaceful. Love and beauty island Philippines.

Wow,tenchuuu for featuering Featr,,para narin aq pumunta ng Morobuan,,watching Riyadh KSA.
Forgive me for being an addict. I cannot get over it. In fact I love getting high on this ...
Watching every episode of FEATR, I mean.
Maraming salamat, ERWAN, and all the wonderful people behind every episode of FEATR. Every video is so entertaining and educational, pretty much like an instructional media. Looking forward to your next episodes. Lo❤️e you FEATR!
I love Guimaras for their friendly people, mangoes and beaches.
Got here early because it's my region 😊😊😊
Narration and the story 💯
I am soon retiring in guimaras and it is my dream to contribute one or another by way of maybe marketing their harvest or just helping in children's education. Thank u Erwan and team for showing the life there.
Waiting for the Guimaras mangoes episode.
Beautiful ❤️
I hope my hometown, Antique, gets featured next.
Beautiful🌴🇵🇭

Dito po kung saan lumaki ang aking Nanay, dito rin nag serve ang aking Lolo Jose as Brgy. Captain.
To lay out the catch like that to dry and no predators is cool
Not to be a downer, but I despise the "myths" of Princess HALFOFPLACENAME who fell in love with OTHERHALFOFPLACENAMEHERE. And they died and the place they were buried became known as HALFOFPLACENAME + OTHERHALFOFPLACENAMEHERE.
It's one of the most common fake "myths" in the Philippines explaining a certain place-name. It's damaging, because it obscures a place's TRUE history. Which in most cases might not be that interesting, but in others are actually far more interesting than some over-used story of folk etymology.
Guimaras is the Hispanicized spelling of Himara-os (alternate rendering: Himal-os, Himal-us, Himud-os, etc.), which means to struggle for a living. To survive basically day-by-day. cf. Tagalog "Nakara-os"/"Nakada-os", root word "da-os" ("to finish", "to get through"). THAT to me is a more interesting fact than some fake random princess and a recycled tragedy.
Damn. The sea really makes one pensive. You should've gone to the side of the island that faces Siete Pecados (between Iloilo, currents to Negros), another myth of crossing seas, following your will. Pwede ring mag free diving sa Nueva Valencia.
Another one
The Cow seem to know where to go, how I wish I did Too
Fish, seafood products needed hardwork. Di po tamad mga manggagawa, napagkakaitan lang ng sapat na bayad kapalit ng produkto nila.
How about sea weeds farm in Guimaras?
GOD’S COUNTRY
Is there anymore? waiting…
"The cows seem to know where they're going. How I wish I did too."
As a local Guimarasnon, I do appreciate you featuring our province. I love FEATR Chanel but in my opinion, you have done injustice to the whole province of Guimaras.

Homesick is real
Guimaras is probably named after an Iberian peninsula place actually under Portuguese rule Guimaraes.
Not really, no. The old names of places are preserved in Spanish records (and it still annoys me how so few local government units even read these records). Guimaras, even in the 1800s, was still called by its native pre-colonial (non-Hispanized name): "Himalos" or "Himalus", which obviously has nothing to do with Guimarães OR with an imaginary Princess Guima.
@@AngryKittens until the colonial name Guimaras wqs used since some Portuguese sailors or explorers, soldiers were employed by Spain.
@@tadrod2323 Again no. Guimarás is the Spanish rendition of the native names, "Himara-os"/"Himad-os"/"Himud-os"/"Himalos".
Guimarães' resemblance to the name is coincidental. They are not even pronounced similarly. Guimarães is pronounced "Gee-ma-ra-esh". Its alternate spellings include Guimaráes, Guimaràes, Guimarâes, Guimarais, or Guimarãis, but never "Guimarás". Moreover, other than the brief 60-year Iberian Union from 1580 to 1640 broken by the Portuguese Restoration War, Portugal and Spain were not exactly friends and there's absolutely no reason for the Spanish to name an island after the ancient capital of Portugal.
_Enfrente de Iloylo esta una Isla de pocas leguas, llamada Himalos, o Guimaras, corrupto, que es de la administracion del convento de Ogtong. Es Isla de apacible temple, y muy fertil de todos los frutos de esta tierra, de buenas maderas y aguas saludables._

POETRY
This type of storytelling is not my cup of tea. I prefer the old format. No tea, but I couldn't finish this video. Felt too close to poverty porn when it's from an outsiders perspective, you don't hear from the locals at all. The subjects are just that. Subjects.
