Really sorry guys, but for some reason this has uploaded in 480 instead of 1080. After we release part 2, we will release them together as one long vlog in 1080p. Going to blame it on the witches, first my laptop broke for the first time editing this so got delayed releasing this and now this 😂
Travel Beans Can't wait for the complete part to plop out and show it to Dion on telli.
I know I keep saying it over and over, but man! I love the intro! ❤💛💚💙💜
They get better and better.
***dreams away about living in the Philippines*** 😍
Nice intro.... nice exit as well for Part 1... creepy!!! ... 😨 Can't wait for Part 2 ... 😄
Well, I think the witch is tech savvy maybe he/she is controlling your uploads 😂😂😂.Finally! Emma looks like in the Hunger Games setting in that moment when the birds were chirping in the background. But Im confused, harry potter is there as well... 🤔🤔🤔😂😂😂😂
Travel Beans i'm a filipino & i'm 30 years old...yes the legend exist since i was 4....😁😂
Travel Beans maybe the witches did aomethin to it
As a historical context to these “witches”, prior to the Spanish conquests, the healers of the people are women called “babaylan/catalonan”. When the Spanish came, the Catholic friars demonized these healers as witches in order to facilitate the acceptance of the Filipinos of Catholicism.
Looking forward to Part 2.
I've seen so many travel vlogs about the Philippines and it's mostly about Boracay or the other beaches so I really enjoyed this one because it's unique!! Keep up the amazing work guys!
Thanks! We're so glad you liked it! We had such an amazing day exploring Siquijor :)
Albularyo. (AL-BOO-LAR-YO) faith healer. Its exist since pre-colonial times. They do perform healing, exorcism, massage (HILOT) and bewitching (KULAM) . it exist mostly in a remote area in the whole Philippines especially those places where medical services are not accessible. Sometimes rural settlers would rather see the albularyo than the doctors. It is cheaper for them.
Michael Roxas ... or quack doctors, let me just add. Remote areas in d phils don't hav quick access to professional doctors so residents resort to these healers who practically learned from their oldies who heal on a trial-&-error method.
Btw... i luuuuuv syquijor even if i haven't been there. As soon as i can afford, it's my first go-to ❤️
Witches in Siquijor do exists 😂 They're just hiding their identity, I believe. But they won't actually harm you unless you harm them first.
True. Even in the cities there are both in and out of coven.
Yeah. Names have power so if any of them gives their name and admit they're a witch they can expect _a few asshole witches_ to take advantage of this.
A good rule of thumb for any witch: Keep quiet and practice.
You look like Harry Potter( Daniel Radcliff)! 😀
Parang gusto ko din matutu nyan gusto ko maging witch hehe
Witches are pretty much all over the world
I’m Filipino living in California and I feel like I’m tourist in my own country...thanks for sharing your vlogs
Hugs to hugs
Do be careful meeting a magkukulam they are evil sorcerer
They are the nemesis of healer witches.
Filipinos are loud guys, sorry for that.
That is how we share our positive vibes with everyone - that was really intense indeed! :-D
It was great meeting them, they were a lot of fun.
Travel Beans hehehe
I'm Fili and sometimes I'm annoyed with too loud fellow pinoys. I can't see much positive with loud noisy people lol taking over the scene. Not all Filipinos are acting like those. Luck I wasn't there.
I’m quiet but Americanized so I def get it my ppl be loud af🇵🇭🤣🤣🤣
The cinematic effect is so lit. Can't wait for the part 2.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :D
I really enjoyed the cinematography and the energy of this video. Loved the interaction with the fun Filipino family...definitely made me smile. Looking forward to part 2...Keep up the great work!
hahaha 480 or not that was a great way to end it! Very catching and leaving people with question. Your storytelling is geting better which makes your vlogs better and better everytime!
You really impress me with your cinematography. How I love it, just like movie! This is the best Siquijor video I have seen, thank you!
All foreigners are showcasing their beach experiences and you guys are hunting the Faith healers..Lol...weird and entertaining video :-))
Haha glad to be different
Hahahah! It's quite unique though😉
I love that you show these things too. It highlights different aspects of the Filipino culture. The beaches are amazing, but there are also other interesting stuff in our culture.
They got curious of what locals beliefs on this island...they want to find out if this one true...white peps are more brave whenever they’re curious but Filipino easy to believe without seeing it
I been waiting your vlog Travel beans...finally you've upload new one.
Hope you enjoyed it. Our laptop broke for about 4 days so got delayed until it was fixed.
Healers and people who practice such stuff are common in remote islands and mountians in the Philippines. Commonly healing is practiced by doing faith or spiritual massage. 😅
Guys, your music scores give me chills. Man. Hahaha! Great frames, compositions and transitions. New subscriber here! Great great great job guys!!!
Aw thanks so much! We LOVED making these videos!
My family is from this Island ! Haven't been there since I was 7. It's still so beautiful . Can't wait for part 2
Witches? No problem. You have Harry Potter right there beside you. Nice intro BTW.
vernon nery 😆😆😁
vernon nery that's what I think too
Revnon Ryne ahahaha
😂🤣😂🤣😂
Omg... he does look like Harry Potter...! But that's a compliment!
Love the cinematics. I can only dream of doing that in such a beautiful location. Healers and witches notwithstanding, thank you for taking the time to bring such scenery to life. 👏
He looks like the grown up Harry Potter
Ah, that's so sweet of you guys, thank you for appreciating the filipinos. :-)
It is indeed an honor to have you here on the country, grateful and happy to hear from you. :-)
omg i love this video, the opening feels like an eerie creepy mini documentary, great job guys! cant wait to see the next one!
Oh wow, love these vlogs!! New subscribers here.. the cinematics are freaking awesome!!
Aw thanks so much!! 🙌
Very cool. Can't wait to see part 2! Natural healing is usually the best way to go, especially if they deal with energies!! I hope I was cool...ooo part 2... Lol
Can't wait for part 2, excitiiiiing !!
Love this video. I was anticipating this.
Well thought of sound track at the beginning. It is a joy to watch you guys.
ooooolala loved this oneeee
Enchanted island of my beloved Philippines..how I wish I could visit there and enjoy the peace and quiet..You guys are really lucky to visit paradise..
I went to Siquijor a few years ago and i still remember, upon arriving in the tiny port I felt chills (in a good way). The water in the port was so clear and turquoise even though the weather was super gloomy. It really felt magical!! I really felt that there was some sort of spiritual being/energy surrounding the island. Siquijor is so beautiful and underrated. Thanks for making this video! I know for sure to go back and learn more about the witches. My great grandfather was a healer but sadly he passed away before I could learn more about his gift.
WOW just WOW! I Love the Drone shots!
thanks for sharing your moment in Philippines..I love it..now I'm one of your subscribers..take care guy's
this is a pretty cool adventure.its like were watching a movie witches.looking forward part 2.soooocoool!
Love your vlog!!!! The music awesome.
You are lucky to find one!!! Beautiful video my friend. I haven’t been to Sequijor but watching this video makes me feel like I am actually in this beautiful place 💕😘😁👍
Nice video, great edting as if im watching a movie. You've got one new subscriber!
ive been in siquijor few months a go and i love it, btw i like ur videos keep up the good work!
Interesting video and adventure..It is a Filipino thing that they love to have pictures even to foreigners.
Thank you for showcasing our dear island. Proud Sijuijodnon here💙
You guys are awesome. I enjoyed watching ur videos =)
It's not a legend. It's real.
Legends are real😶 😯 😲
That intro was awesome! ❤
Thanks so much!!
Healing is something that's very old in the Philippines. You will find it in almost all rural areas.
Will be waiting for part 2.....fun fun adventure😁
Excellent video!
Their power is inherited to them, and it will to generation to generation. The power can cure but there's a bad side, if someone appears in their dreams (even someone close to them) they have no choice but to do something bad to that person, otherwise it will make them weak or they get sick.
It depends
Not really that accurate. There’s something called being a “generational witch”.Witchcraft is a practice and anyone can get into it. Every witch practices differently and saying that they have NO CHOICE but to harm someone or they’ll get weak or sick is not true at all.
Hi I live in siquijor and this is one of the first vid ive ever seen about siquijor!! and i just subscribed!!
Just woke up from a dream that I was in a voodoo place was a bit scared and curious and so I searched Siquijor and I found your vlog. Never regret watching the vlog!!😍 I’m a Filipino as well but never been to Siquijor maybe I’ll visit soon because of this.
*_Stunning View!_*
_Beyond the folklore, _*_Siquijor_*_ is a bewitching land of fine beaches with pristine waters._
Agreed.. such a beautiful island!
goosebumps!!! Whoooooooooo that intro tho 👏👏👏
awesome vloge once again!
The last music is creeping me out...but also teasing me to watch the second part nice vid. You guys know how to live real life 👏👏👏👊👊
Excited of part 2,, soo nice vlog
Can't wait for Part 2. 😁
Dont forget to say tabi tabi po when passing through a big forest area or a big tree so as not to offend the spirits dwelling there.
Peter Rillera tabi tabi po as I know it, is something you say when you see a termite mound because it is believed that a troll like creature will curse you if you don’t announce your respect as you pass near.
Ancestral territory of the Great Witches in the Philippines , Siquijor is the most Sacred place for all Fililipino Witches 🌟
I hope you guys enjoying your stay here in the island. I hope you discover more of the hidden treasure here in SIQUIJOR. proud siquijorian here. Cant wait to watch part 2. 😜😁
Wow!!! I just subscribed...
Didn’t even realise it’s 480, but then again I was watching on my mobile lol. I thought you could change it to 1080 (or 4K) on the video settings of the vid?
Your video is amazing guys !!
loved it...nice video
PART 2 PLEASE...thank you in advance
I am working on it. I will be as fast as I can, hopefully Wednesday!
This feels like I am watching a Blair Witch Project type of movie. With the home video camera and the actors did something foolish and then everything went wrong, creepy and scary. Hahahaha. Always stay safe you two. Love the both of you. BTW, there are really scary stories about witches or "mangkukulam" as we call it Filipino in Siquijor. There is a worse kind of witch and we call them "mambabarang". This type of witch will put curse on you and all sort of crawling insects, worms and bugs will get out of your body like in your mouth, ears, nose and sometimes there are inside your skin. There is also a mythical creature from urban legend known as "Aswang", that according to the legend, they originated from Siquijor. They are shapeshifters. They devour human organs like liver, heart, intestines. It scared the sh*t out of me when I was little. Anyway, it was nice to see a new video from you guys.
Can't wait on what will happen to your finger Alex! Hoping it will heal! (Fingers crossed)
In Bohol (where my parents are from), blowing smoke (using a Tobacco leaf) on one's back is a traditional way of healing people from his/her tummy discomfort, fever, sprain, and other pains one might be feeling in his/her body. We call it "Buhot". I think healers also use that style of healing to drive away negative energy/bad spirits wished upon a person by another ("Gibuyagan").
I really love being Filipino. Hshaha being loud is my personality haha
haha that's why it's more fun in the philippines!
I really admire that you gys are not afraid to go on places for the first time.. I just remembered the movie "Wrong Turn"
Very nice... The musical score and the cinematography is freaking good. It reminded me of the blairwitch movie.
Man can’t wait for part 2... how was it?
was it ever uploaded?
Best intro ever on your whole trip to Philippines..
Thanks, I really liked this one
OMG , the same healer did "bolobolo" on me and a bunch of my classmates...and we are a bunch of physicians on a reunion-vacation on the island! lol! By the way, your cinematics are gorgeous!!
Haha no way, what did you think of it?
Oh we just went along with it, at the tour guide's behest. We have a Filipino saying for it " Bahala na!" or in Spanish - "Que sera sera!" Whatever will be, will be! Just for experience I guess, but it was ok! I have grown to love Siquijor a lot though! It was the very mysterious island of my childhood when our ship passes by it coming from Cagayan de Oro City where I grew up. But I am glad that it is only now being discovered otherwise the island people's way of life would be very urban like the other big islands in the country.! Enjoy the rest of your stay in the country and safe , happy travels!!
Great intro. I thought I had started watching a movie then I remembered i was watching a vlog haha
Aw thanks! We loved making the cinematic intros to the Siquijor videos! ❤️
Love the topic of the video. Maybe you can re-shoot it near twilight because I can imagine that jungle path shot towards the end will be so creepy at that time.
Another epic day guys. :-) I loved the vibes so much!
So glad you liked it :)
Travel Beans
of course - you are my everyday pill. :-)
Hi! The drone video on the first part of this video, was it in Siquijor?
480 not really bad.... For me its about content.... And that was really fun guys....to my fellow Filipino that was so hilarious.... 😂😂😂😂
very nice intro. :) editing is on point.
Thank you :D
Terrific.... Glory to Lord Christ Jesus works of His ✋ hand just so amazing.....
May GOD blessed you both... keeping you safe for exploring and presenting wonderful video blog....
We didn't see any during our stay there. The beaches are beautiful! We had a great time at the fish spa. So serene and peaceful.
2019 comin home :) siquijor!!
Happy to see you worked through the Technical Difficulties. Great job, did you need to have a witch remove a curse.? hahah Beautiful people, so friendly with huge smiles.
wow watching the drive is great the road is maintained. thanks for sharing always safe trip
How did you guys create the cinematic effect at the beginning. Help please? I'm so impressed !
The lady looks like a movie star. Very nice couple:)
Just subscribed here...i love this so interesting 😉
The sensual healing is humorously hilarious, and with a background music. 🤣
wow rural Philippines. Haven't been there in ages. Thanks guys!
Nice video. Keep it up guys! 😉
sound effect really suited this video. laugh so hard about those filipinos taking pics. cant wait for the part 2.
Siquijor is home and Island of witches and its mystic! before it become the tourist destination. People/filipinos are scared to go there because of the lores :)
We believe in those
I live on Siquijor, and we rather call them faith healers.
yes your right... I live in siquijor also

@@rossellebondoc6263, okay 👌

I think the Filipino cultural tradition of "faith healing" has been practiced by non - modern healers of long ago. But only in the very hinterlands does it continue to thrive in the Philippines.
what Gimbal did u used?
new subscriber here..i like your cinematics..superb!
SIQUIJOR IS A VERY QUIET AND BEAUTIFUL PLACE, JUST LIKE U GUYS I REALLY LOVE TO GO TO OTHER PROVINCES BEACAUSE IM A NATURE LOVER, I LOVE D SMELL OF A GRASS, TREE AND ALSO D BREEZE, AND THE PEOPLE IN THE PROVINCE ARE ALWAYS HAPPY,
Love the cinematography
Thanks so much! We loved making this style of vlog!
Next time you go, you should try Davao. It is in Mindanao (which is deemed to be “more dangerous”, but I feel like it’s actually safe). Try going to Samal island in Davao. My friends and family went to Giant Clam Sanctuary and the corals are still in good condition and well protected
davao is very safe, safer than in japan
I'm a Filipina living in NY ...you guys has to be very careful out there..it's not a joke! ASWANGS are real!
Ayyyy, nice that your enjoying our island. I'm a legit Siquijodnon
I'm a Boholana been living Japan for 26 years now and it's been 10 years since my last visit there in 2008 so,it's really funny watching your videos and you have amazing character.thanks for travelling my country and watching your videos helped my kamingaw nabawasan ng konti.upload more from Bohol please.or if you're there yet visit my parents in Alicia Town.in a little barrio called Caupig my parents name are Destong& Lydia Libres.
Too bad about the quality guys, but it really didn't take anything away from the storytelling - it was really great! 😄 Great cliffhanger at the end, can't wait for part 2!! 😊
