    That was a really interesting video mate, as someone already said. I started watching you when I was looking for info on my Mondeo, now look where you are in life, such a great change and I would say for the better! This video was on a par with Bald and Bankrupt, a great production, top marks for a top video👍

      thanks Roger, much appreciated , just trying to do things before its too late or I have to come back down to reality. problem is not having more of a plan, missed oportunities and wind noise did not help but thouroughly enjoyed the trip to Marawi as not many Westerners would venture there, cheers😊

    Love the lake.... thats oki with me...
    No sharkies or octopussys.....
    The destruction is sad to see....
    I guess most folk who lived there will never be able to afford to rebuild....
    adapt to whats left maybe...
    roads been fixed and I guess there is power there...
    Great Vid joe90..

      ⁠No grudge at all thinking of your safety only,most of your audience have never been to the Philippines so they have little knowledge of the conflicts in that part of Mindanao and the saving face here,all I know is you upset( them ) and they come after you.I have seen the poster of those wanted in CDO I have seen how some look at foreigners we know kids ride around on scooters with those hand made guns just a while back in Negros a teenager shot dead in the street.Foreigner's have to have there wits about them,I had a knife pulled on me just because I said to a old guy you cannot piss there kids play there he said F off it's my country I learnt a lesson from that.
