    I am a filipino from Cebu living here in the U.S. for quite some time now and I watched your videos and made me feel home sick. I miss my home country, nothing compares. Thank you for all your uploaded videos about my country and enjoy your stay there. Appreciate it! 🙏

    These back flipping Filipino kids are entrepreneurs. That was so nice of you to give them money for effort. Been watching you as I do household chores here in Chicago. I'm in USA working as a.nurse. Thank you for taking interest in exploring the undiscovered and under represented Philippines. Filipinos are genuinely thankful for foreigners who take interest in our culture, values and traditions. God bless you in your future endeavor. Be safe always. Will keep watching. Me and family just subscribed.

    Thank you for supporting those little sari-sari stores, they earn little so those daily buyers are keeping them afloat. Paging the Tourism department of Siquijor to cement the steps up and down those falls to make it convenient for travelers/ tourists and to attract more tourists locally and internationally..

    Nice video!! I love how patient you are with the locals! I am a Filipina married to an American and we live in North Dakota. We are so excited to go home in December. My family is from Cagayan de Oro City. Looking forward to escape the harsh winter of the frozan tundra. How crazy would it be to bump into you in our travels. We are also planning to live there in the next few years. We will definitely be following your journey!

    I remember when I was in school we address our teachers as Sir or Ma'am or anybody in authority, I think its a form of respect and being polite. When I get here in the U.S. everybody just call them by their first name it felt awkward at first calling my supervisor her first name but I get used to it eventually.

    Turon has a different banana inside, it's locally known as saging sabà similar to plantain, it also usually has jackfruit in it. Lumpia is always savoury but comes with various fillings and could be fried or fresh.

To help you w the language/dialect, words are pronounced by syllables w the sound of the vowels (A, E, I, O, U), w no dipthongs, slang, schwa, etc. Enjoy, and always ingat on your advantures.
