LIFE In Philippines Waterworld (AGUSAN MARSH In Flood)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- THIS TIME OF YEAR, THE AGUSAN MARSH IS FLOODED.
All 15,000 hectares of one of Mindanao's most ecologically important areas are covered by vast amounts of water coming from its wide watershed, as far away as Maragusan.
Some Agusanon Manobo communities have adapted to life here, in the Philippines' Waterworld.
They take care of the Marsh, and harvest its big freshwater fish.
Let's take 48 hours to see more!

I never know that Philippines have this kind of nature. This is heaven and different nature of the Philippines. I only saw mountains and oceans but this is one of a kind❤
Visit Agusan Del Sur!
The biggest crocodile was captured there.
Kumander, you are a proper documentarian. Your video technique, cinematic style, narration, and editing are always so impressive! (When you offer your Master Class, I want to be the first to sign up.) You truly have a gift. I loved everything about this visit to the Agusan Marsh through your eyes, and your ability to get the best quotes from the people you encounter makes the video so much more enriching for us your viewers. "We can change the fish trap's position, but you can't change your wife."🤣 The Manobo are such an admirable people. They have such a beautiful view of life, their legacy, and their place in the world.
Keep up the great work! This was more than worth the wait.🔥💯🏆 Aloha at Mabuhay!🤙
Really appreciate it Chris! Was worth staying up until 1am to get this one done last night! These places inspire me!
I also laughed at their sense of humour haha!
@@KumanderDaot Being up late editing this didn't have any adverse effects on the final product. This was brilliant!
Apart from the fact that this is one of your best videos in terms of quality and compassion for local culture, it is more importantly (to me at least) a demonstration of how sensible government environmental regulation can work with local communities to protect and preserve the environment. I was moved by how the Agusan locals understood, accepted and welcomed this type of governmental regulation and management for their own benefit. This is NOT what we see in more developed countries like the US where there is so much mistrust (perhaps deserved in some cases) that the people end up working against their own interests!!! GREAT JOB, Anselm. PS: get ready for the EURO 2024 pool in June, my friend!
So inspirational to see how they work alongside the government and really maintain the environment there. They are really part of nature - that's how they feel!
BTW Looking forward to Euro 2024 😁
I bow to your creativity, each of your films can, without exaggeration, be called an expedition. Thank you for your work !
Thank you Kumander for your documentary of the Augusan Marshland and the people. Again, as many documentaries you have done in the Island of Mindanao you have exemplified yourself by showing to the world the jewel of Mindanao, the indigenous peoples’ culture and tradition. I couldn’t be much prouder to be from Davao. God Bless you and guide you whatever you do.
You remind me of the late Anthony Bourdain when he narrated his travels: you both sound very poetic in delivering your stories. Your university educational background really shows on how you explain your observations on people and their culture. You belong to the caliber of Discovery Channel documentary journalists.
Kumander, I think that you have found your calling. Your vlogs stand out from other expat vloggers in the Philippines in that your content about the people, their culture, and the topography, is very interesting and educational. Where others vloggers focus on themselves, your vlogs focus on others. You appear to be honing your skills as a producer of documentaries and hope you continue to do so. It's cool that you share your learning experiences about becoming an organic farmer. You have a lovely family and are no daot. Greetings from Canada, eh!
I find so much inspiration in seeing the lives of others in very unfamiliar settings (for me). My face, for now, is not so inspiring, I even forgot to shave 😁 thanks so so much for appreciating the lives of those I meet 🙂
Great content !
❤ your vlogs it’s like National geographic God bless you sir watching from Washington state USA 🇺🇸
i respect people who hasknowledge of sustainability…❤❤❤
Im a huge fan of nature documentaries and im so happy seeing this docu from my beloved 🇵🇭..salamat KD.
Great Content as usual Anselm. Very interesting. Even though I live here in the Philippines I always learn more about the Philippines when I watch your vids.
Hope you're doing well Brian!
I really admire you Kumander. There is no inhibition in yourself. You almost like a Filipino tourist.
Im so impress of Kuya on how he thoughts about to value what thet have and take care of it. Hopefully most filipinos will think the same as what he think not blaming the government instead make a move on how they survive. GodBless to Agusan Marsh and to you sir.
So many unique and interesting places in the Philippines and for each one of them, there are genius, hard-working people who figure out how to use it to their advantage and carve out a livelihood from it. Fascinating!
Great comment!
Thank you very much Kumanded D! You are taking vlogging to higher level. What you just produced is already a documentary - cinematic effects, narration and focal subject matter. Well done.
Kudos to the community who is protecting this nature’s gift. Lets support them.
First time i see Agusan marsh this close and detail. Highly recommended for educational purpose. You should be inducted as the best educational content creator, Kumander D!
Such a different world so far away. Gorgeous work!
What an amazing vlog! The community are such marvellous custodians of the precious ecosystem they live in, and I’m blown away by their friendliness and hospitality. We’re flying in to Mindanao later this week from Sydney and this video makes me want to get there even sooner!
Highly recommended! Safe trip!
Thanks for this awesome vlog. Thanks for featuring this floating village. The people are so admirable the way they protect the environment.
Look how happy and contented they are. They are happy just having simple things in life.
This is your niche Kumander D. No vlogger comes close to your documentary work. Please continue. Supporting you all the way!
Brilliant work, what an amazing community. Thanks for educating us all
I like the thoughts of manong fisherman. If everyone thinking is like him there will be prosperity

Oh my God, sorry for being late watching your documentary, Kumander. Impressive as always, from the filming to editing, always top notch.
I am also fortunate to spent a week in Agusan Marsh during the baha season last 2021. My favorite is their bulad and kohol, such a tasty treats. The people are lovely, inspiring, and admirable. I also love their sense of humor and their personal crocs, and aswang stories. Such a majestic place and not scary at all.
Wow another perpective on how Agusan Marsh is seen. I enjoyed watching this one Kumander D. Different world indeed!😊
Awesome documentary 💯
You are very lucky to experience a life like this kumander daog . This is how people spend their life who has little but rich with blessing in some way .

I enjoy your videos very much . I live in CA and retiring in a few months. I plan to spend more time in the Visayas . I will visit these places you have on your videos. I hope to bump into you to learn more ideas. Thank you
Wow! Thank you I have finally seen the Agusan Marsh up close, I only heard of this from school textbooks, and first time I saw this on a vlog!
14:51 I'm sure you're feeling the itch and the heat and the cold water, all at the same time. That's exhilarating.
Kum Daot -- Great work. This is a catalogue-quality vlog.
Beautiful I’m speechless, I know Agusan marsh but I don’t know that there’s a floating community on the marsh.
what a lovely people. Its amazing that they really serious about taking care with the nature for there future😊
Their approach really inspired me!
Been there, done that! Great experience and yes, great video document too! Life is pretty remote and simple there but near to nature. I hope you had a beautiful sight of the sky with pixie dusts of stars.
Cloudy skies hid the stars away but beautiful and calm all the same! A special place!
You're getting better and better man, Kumander Attenborough. 🤣😂😅 Keep on doing what you're doing. I like that you don't film yourself shoving food in your mouth when eating, as some other UA-camrs do, but just show what it is. Love it.
beautifully crafted. beatifully arranged. the narration is beyound awesome.
Shout out to you KD.Thank you for sharing this amazing travel video of Mindanao.

Very nice documentary Kumander!👍👍👍. I think it's even better than Attenborough's work😊. I could not remember the 'brough sailing on such perilous, flimsy boat😊😊. Your topics are always interesting and educational, we might see King Charles III Knight you one day😊. Sur Anselm sounds very grand indeed😅.
What makes you think that he will be knighted by King Charles. Think about it!😮😢😢😢
