- BOHOL PHILIPPINES FIRST IMPRESSION! 🇵🇭
Bohol, Philippines is known for the chocolate hills, tarsiers, and stunning beaches, but I was not expecting this in Bohol. After spending only one day in Bohol, Philippines, I have realized that it has the full package. This video from Cebu to Bohol, Philippines shows the ferry ride then a quick shuttle to Panglao and Alona beach.

hi Jonathan. when traveling alone anywhere here in the Philippines, especially the tourist spots, you must gear up yourself with lots of knowledge on how to avoid those people trying to take advantage of you being a foreigner in making the fare higher than usual, as much as possible do not entertain those people who come towards you and offering assistance because the reason behind that is for them to get more from you. it is always best to have a Filipino local that you can trust in communicating with them because a lot of them are trying to earn more in a dirty way. just a piece of advice. enjoy your tour.
This is true if you are in or within the city destination. However, if in the province, taxis going out of the city will charge more as they need to compensate the gas they have to use going in back to the city. They will have no passenger when they go back to the city.
While it is true you need to be street wise to get the lowest prices, after a time intravelling i found paying the least is not always the best.
These people are living in pretty low conditions and paying more is like helping them.
Paying a little more to a foreigner is just a little bit to them it is a lot. A difference between going to bed hungry vs full stomach
or
Being able to pay for a months medicine or suffering without.
Many times I choose to not haggle the cheapest and feel low looking back when I denied a poor person a little more income when it could mean so much more to them that you would never know about.
SOME PEOPLES TRAVEL WITH A BUDGET SPECIALLY IF YOU Don’t HAVE EXTRA INCOME AND RELYING ON YOU TUBE SALARY, IF THEY Don’t HAVE VIEWS They Don’t HAVE MONEY Either … SPECIALLY IF YOU A FOREIGNERS ITS SCARY IF YOU Don’t HAVE ANY MONEY COZ NO ONE Or NOBODY GIVE YOU STUFF FOR FREE…. ✌️🙌✌️💕🇺🇸
@@piacash5216 But having and relying on UA-cam is still far better as it is a royalty, income without working once the initial work is done. You merely need to cut expenses and wait till you recharge from the UA-cam income streams.
Living in poverty without any secure royalty income is much more desperate.
With UA-cam royalty you get sick, the money still gets paid to you.
In a 3rd world country selling walking on the street when you get sick, no sick leave, no insurance (esp in poor nations) and without income you go without food on top of your illness.
If you think traveling on a budget is tough give a spare thought to those you come across not even travelling yet struggling to survive.

In a 3rd world country many cannot raise the initial cost of making a youtube. They are selling walking on the street and when they get sick, no sick leave, no insurance (esp in poor nations) and without income you go without food on top of your illness.

You are right Jonathan, there are 7,100 islands in the Philippines. Also in the Philippines we speak 32 dialects. The national language is Tagalog. I love to watch your videos Jonathan & I'm 79 years old.
Awesome! This is my next destination. Have been planning this for 2weeks now...Thank you.
You don’t look like a toad with your helmet Jonathan. What matter is you’re handsome. Enjoy your stay at the beautiful island of Bohol. You’ll never regret in choosing Bohol. Boholanos(people of Bohol) are trustworthy, honest, kind and nice people. Amping.(meaning take care in Bisayan dialect)
😂 thank you!
You actually look like Bumble Bee (from Transformers) hehe. Everyone loves the bee.
Jollibee😂
Nice one Jonathan, enjoy!
Tarsiers are pronnounced as "tar shears" in plural form and "tar shear" in singular. Love your videos Mr. Jonathan! Keep doing what you love because you are spreading joy and positivity, thank you for the contents!💯
Enjoy there in my beloved country Philippines 👍🇵🇭 From Fil-Am here in L.A.
Hello Jonathan nice to see that you've reach one tourist destination Bohol. Just keep yourself safe always.
Enjoy Bohol !
My favorite channel for now thanks for making a wonderful videos with our place / country thank you for loving us
I learned something from you. Never take the first person to offer. Always the highest price. I will remember this tip to next time I travel. My father always tells me. "There are good people and not so good people everywhere." Always be wise and careful. I have never been to Bohol, but I checked out some of the places to visit, which were terrific. The Choco hills, Tarsier, Dimiao Twin waterfall, Hinagdanan cave, River paddle boarding, Bamboo hanging bridge, and Loboc river cruise are among the popular to visit. Enjoy.
How is Panglao in December? Great video, my friend!
Thank you Jonathan, I will be there in Bohol tomorrow and your video gave me a lot of ideas even if I am a Filipino I still need this as I love to travel around the Philippines :)
Desperate for puti? Haha pathetic
Hi Jon if you are still in Panglao I recommend you try snorkeling in Balicasag Island.
I’m from Bohol. Good thing you are smart
Now we're talking. I'm amazed how well you bargain. Wow!
U may want to see the other side of Panglao- Anda which they call the new Boracay.
Yes, Panglao has the best “nightlife” in Bohol. The beach where you were just strolling is called Alona Beach. If you ever go back there, get yourself a massage along the beach. It’s the most soothing, relaxing feeling after having a long day, and not to mention how inexpensive the cost for an hour massage!!! 😁😁😁
Hi Jonathan, if you are planning to stay on a quiet place near the Loboc River, I highly recommend Loboc River Resort. Very serene place 😊
Just beautiful I've been there 12 times and stayed in hotels and with Filipino friends home
Thanks for logging your taxi experience! Haha I'm noting all the tips and prices down for our Feb visit.
Thank you Jonathan, I never been to Bohol, thank you for the travelling tips especially the transportation and it's charges, I will plan to go there
I hope it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Hi Jonathan,sir that helmet is a protection for any kind of accidents,keep on enjoying your adventure in Bohol
Yeheyy you feature two of resort i been working for before to the Lost Horizon & the isis Thai restaurant ❣️🎊👌
It's lovely out there
Bro beware of the driver who are scammers . And even vendors too. Any where now in this world u can't avoid this situations. I know ur smart enough to handle the situations. Always stay safe and Godbless you anywhere u are! Mabuhay!
Hi jonathan! Welcome to bohol! Im from bohol.
Thank you!

Thank you !
Jonathan goes road to 50 k🙂🇵🇭👍
Hopefully!
Wow! Nice place!
You content is authentic, local interaction 🙂
check out candijay rice terraces and can -umantad falls, two hidden gems beside each other, you will not regret it!!
Alona beach is where I stayed when I was there. Best place to stay IMO. Obv your next video is going to be about chocolate hills I guess
Hi Jonathan, try visiting Bee Farm while you are in Panglao Island....enjoy !
Shout out watching your Vlog, Bohol is a Beautiful organic air
Jonathan wow proud of you, just mentioned that you are from Alabama correct me if I'm wrong. We are from Alabama too.. welcome to Philippines. Congrats enjoy and have a great time in bohol. Try to go to camiguin Island 2 hours boat ride. Camiguin Island is small lots of beautiful spots too.
Yeah I’m from Alabama! You can get to camiguin from here?!? I definitely want to go if I can. Thank you!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL yes you can, go to Jagna peir then boat ride to camiguin Island. My hubby and I will be there. Enjoy & have a great time. Keep it in mind they have a tight protocols..good luck
@@frances3517 oh awesome thank you!
hi.....new subscriber working here at hongkong China ...from Northern Philippines....keep safe and enjoy bro.I
I always smile when people interact with you offerring you some sales and then you're caught and you always say No. Sales and promotions don't disturb you .. Good job... Just be careful on some too good to be true offers. 😉
Hahah, I’m very used to sales as I’ve lived outside the US for so many years. It’s just a part of my daily life as a traveler 😂
I remember I took a jeepney going to Panglao much cheaper but that van is more convenient though.
Becareful sir, especially during night. Enjoy and be safe.
Jonathan, why don't you post videos more often? Daily or every other day, I would welcome and enjoy. I'm sure others do, too. Hope you would consider, thank you.
Hahah, I’m a slow editor. I overthink things and make 100 changes before posting a final product. The quality of my videos would suffer if I posted daily, unfortunately
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL ...... Maybe, in the near future you can make it happen. Thank you for the reply.
HEY,MAN IM YOUR NEW SUBSCRIBER ..THANKS FOR YOUR NICE VIDEO..IM FROM BOHOL ,PHILIPINES HAVE A NICE TRIP 👍👍👍
Hey, that was my house behind the fence at 4:18. I hope you enjoy your visit.
Include Balabac and El Nido in your itinerary here in the Philippines. 😊😊
In Tagbilaran the metered taxi is allowed to charge the return empty trip, so even local who take a city metered taxi pays the metered amount x2. Its only convenience is you don't have to haggle for the price. A few weeks ago i paid P400 for a tuktuk from Tagbilaran port to Hennan resort hotel in Tawala, Panglao.
My mom has a BnB you can stay there, it's in Candijay like 2hours from Panglao...
You're smart Jonathan for not picking the first one who offered the highest price, njoy BOHOL im from another town too…
I am going to be Bohol November 1.
im visiting bohol on my return visit to the philippines, returning may 2023! and its true about the pricing, even though it was my first time visiting, i knew how to bargain, was it pricey from cebu city to bohol? did you take Cordova Point Ferry?
Always wear your helmet for protection. Take care and enjoy.
hey bro you can visit also calaguas island in southern part of luzon
I also enjoyed my stay at Alona Beach 6 years ago :-) !!
Was in Bohol last week doing some diving. Found the taxi/trike prices to be...inconsistent 😅
😂 yep!
Taxi and trike drivers rip off merchants not all always ask price
Hi Jonathan, the reason why the taxi is not doing the meter thing is that they are going out of the city. Normally, the charge that they are asking includes the gas fee they are going to use going back to the city. They won’t be able to get passenger in your destination that’s why they will gonna charge you a fixed price.
Drive safe
Good afternoon po
Good afternoon po!
Hi jonathan welcome to bohol enjoy
My home sweet home
Ok ill pause 1st my work and watch this video 😊
😂 thanks for watching!
very good you check different prices first before deciding..learn how to haggle. take care and always enjoy jonathan! just be careful with people wholl try to take advantage of you okay..and your stuff also..😊
*padayon lang.*
Nice video. Thanks for sharing.
You always need to haggle with these taxi service guys at the airport; you'll find a big difference in their prices! Stay safe!
I always say Meter Po when I get in a Taxi. If you going a long distance I wouldn't advise taking a Taxi unless you don't mind paying that higher fee.
Welcome to Bohol my province🥰
hi Johnathan, the afea and Islands within 2 hours of Cebu off a lot of exploring.
Hi jonathan always be safe put on your list to travel here in Bacolod City, City of Smiles you will enjoy here also
I wish to see you travel in pampanga,clark airbase and walking street!
Walang kadala dala tong mga mapag samantala jan sa Bohol
If you will have a terrible experience with the locals trying to take advantage of you again. Apologies. Even in my own country, I had multiple experiences where whenever I am new to a place (another province/city), they set the price way above the normal.
try to ask your local subscribers on how to get to where you are going for fair price on public vehicles. research your commute, some may have public vehicles like buses which will be cheaper. when you can try to meet up with a local person or contact the local tourism office.
Check out Birdwatchers at the end of the beach.
You are still good looking with that helmet. Your eyes are beautiful
I'd probably buy my own helmet if I have a life like yours. Jealous as hell!!! I'm here freezing my ass off in Belleville IL just 20 miles east of St Louis MO. In a few years I'll be traveling the world. Stay safe my MAN! Hope to run into you in the PI someday. Sige at magingat.
That Adobo is PHP205?
I am sorry for high paid of your transportation. That’s why we love tourist and we support tourist vlogger because of your contribution to the country. Hope u enjoy your stay. When u stay long u will know everything about better way to save money. Just enjoy for now. Better rent motor. Goodluck
Jonathan don’t worry about your helmet we all know you’re good looking guy have fun but don’t
let your guard down
like a less busy Boracay
Panglao and Alona beaches and resorts, are just as good if not better than on Boracay . Definition not as touristy. We will be there November and December. Btw you pronounce Tarsier wrong..hahaha
The toad from mario is epic. My students was shocked when i laugh alone.
😂 I chuckled to myself while making the video also 😅
Meet me
Filipino in los angeles. I will go home last week of january . Lets go to festivals. SINULOG. DINAGYANG. ATI ATIHAN
ETC.
I hope you go to boracay 😊
Im so sad to see you experiencing that bad side of our Beloved province of Bohol. AnywaysI hope you enjoyed your Stay in my Province ❤️😇 be safe
Jonathan DAMM!!! your EYES is killing me
😂
Hi, I'm suggest you sir baguio or bulucan in mindanao davao samal island also depolog little paradise island that's my suggestion to you i'm a filipina that good you just inquir some taxi or behicle to get cheap price.
Hey man. Be careful around the beaches coz some vendors charge ridiculously crazy prizes.
There was a scandal 2 months ago that made national news coz of that. For example, 1 crab meal was P700 (seriously).
Other than that, enjoy your trip!
🔥🔥🔥Foreigners - always ask a local for what fair price is for fares before going straight to taxis.
👋👋👍😎
I love your Iris💙
Hello there, just curious, where are you from in the USA? Or are you from Canada. Sounds like a USA accent. I grew up in California but was born in Pangasinan. Have you been to Pangasinan?
Hi Jonathan, I told you sometime ago, be careful, it's not all lollipops and roses. The villains will always surface. Just take it with a grain of salt, keep smiling, it helps. 😁
Tarsier is Grugo❤
its good you know what to do because 700 is way too much
do not skip Camiguin Island please
Be careful Sir,some are taking advantage of foreigners even the location is just some kilometers away and not far.
Do not fall for people with taxi fares. You can be scammed because of price gouging. Scout around for cheaper fare,
If you can , do your own tour as long as there are other tourist in the area. Guided tours are a lil expensive...
I suggest Don't carry a lot of cash though and high pesos bills 100's and below separate your 500's and 1,000's bills
He to hire for a motor bike?
I’ve got one, but it’s very expensive. 500 a day
Wew, you have to know how locals commute. It saves more money.
What's up Dude ?
