I am a Filipino from Cebu who happened to come across your channel because I saw you were in Jeddah, KSA where I used to work for 4 years (I missed that place so much). I immediately subscribed to your channel and enjoyed your vlogs. You are an amazing family. One of the kindest in the world I have to say. Now, I am really pleased that you came to my beloved hometown Cebu, Philippines. ❤️ U all.
Aw thank you so much for this sweet and kind comment. Happy you are enjoying our videos 😊 We had such a fun time in Cebu! Thanks so much for subbing 🙏🏼

Hello hows your day? I want to share you This is a message from your loving God. God is a loving God and want to save us all. God dont want anybody to suffer or have a hard life. Meaning of life is love and that's what God wants. Thats the meaning of life. If we would take care and love each other that would solve all the problems. But world is not like that. World is a sinful world. God dont destroy this world but we humans do. His immediately ready if you want to serve him. God will show you the right path what leads to life. Its a path of love. God made us and have eternal love and mercy. This world is not what God wanted. But he gave us free will. You can choose good or bad. Thats why he send he's only son Jesus that we had mercy. Jesus is God too because he is God's only son. Now this world have went to very wicked and our God is crying. So many peoples are on the path of destruction. World have allways been wicked but now is extremely bad times going on. God want's peoples to come back to serve him and he wants to give forever life and happiness. God is a God of love, mercy, justice and a judgment. He love us peoples as much as hes son Jesus. There is one big lie going on this world. Its an evolution lie. First please think this thing. Why all the fruits, berrys and vegetables taste so good? Anybody can go to own home kitchen and try to do the same taste. Then look up please and watch those extremely beautiful birds. Do you really believe birds came from dinosaurs? We need very light bones, right size, correct shape, a bird's beak and feathers. And the same time birds are very beautiful. I send only these two questions to evolution professor and nothing came back(Why berries taste so good and how those little birds survived without wings) Then they say evolution gave animals camoflash to survive. Well if we look black panther. They say it's black because it's a night-time hunter and that black color also give it protection during night-time. First thing: evolution dont have brains and it gave that black color they say. Second thing: Please think how many shades of colors are and all animal have to be black. Third thing: Then they say there were many panthers with another color also and the best color was left. Because it's the best color in the nigh time. This is a lie also because: if you think like evolutionist's: the animals system also have to know to do black anymore. Rabbit is also brown when it's a summer and white when it's a winter. We need intelligence to do that. They say also evolution develops animals or Humans what kind of element we live. Why then fish have gills and whale have lungs? They say first came the first cell and that was finally a fish. And then finally fish came to land and it was frog or something. But thats inpossible because gills should also transform to lungs under the water. They brake their own logic when they say that. And how about a whale. Whale proves also God is real because it have lungs. Theory of evolution tells everything started from ocean. They also say that plants came from ocean and thats why we have now. Thats a lie because: The plants have an underwater pollination system. If something comes to the beach it will die for it. And they are breaking their logic again. Fish and other water animals and plants belong to sea. Only our loving God can create life and everything what we humans and animals need. People can try to think but the deeper we try to dig the more lost we are. We cant ever create life from nothing. A simple car engine also needs its maker, parts, fuel and the right structure to work. I had health problems about six years ago. Finally it was so bad i thought im gonna die. My heart was beating fast. My blood pressure was high. Then i started to lose my energy. When i try to walk my legs felt heavy and my stamina went very bad also. Then i started losing my sleep. Eventually i crashed a little into the road and asked God and Jesus to help. Finally I started to run in the toilet all the time too. Then the very awful thing came. I lost fastly almost all my ability to sleep and I started to loose my weight. Blood came out of my nose and I started to lost my hairs too. I visit hospitals and private hospitals too but they couldn't help me. They gave me beta blockers to my heart and finally medicine to my high blood pressure too. I wanted to get inside the hospital but they refused to take me in. In private hospitals they couldn't understand why they dont take me in the main hospital. Finally I contact to other country and I asked can you take me in the hospital. Then they asked where are you here? I told im in the other country and I need a help. But they told me we cant take you in because you dont live here. So I can tell you money didnt help me. Later I told my family im gonna die very soon because I felt completely awful. Finally I asked again God to help me. Then finally my Mother saw one Angel vision and three Jesus vision. After that it took few days and my health came back. I got my sleeping back and my heart started to calm down. I started to gain weight. Blood pressure went back to normal and finally I got all my hairs back. This Is very short version what happend to me but I was close to death. God Is real and loves us very much. When you begin to seek God you Will find True love. Read the Bible too please because its a perfect book. Thats how you know God Is real💕🙏. Read what Jesus told because its perfect talking💕🙏
The area you explored at the beginning of the video is the Carbon Market/Pasil district, located in the heart of downtown Cebu City. This neighborhood is often perceived as one of the more dangerous parts of the city. However, I appreciate your bravery in walking through Pasil's streets. This area is frequently overlooked, despite being the primary source of fresh produce for many of Cebu's major establishments. Though it is a place marked by poverty, it vividly represents the true essence of Cebu. The small oranges you saw are known locally as 'KIAT KIAT,' which are mini mandarin oranges or clementines. As a Cebuana myself, I completely agree with you that there is a lack of proper management when it comes to handling both tourists and the whale sharks. These majestic creatures deserve better than being used as mere tourist attractions. The current practice of feeding them to lure tourists is quite disheartening. If you're still in Cebu and looking for more places to explore, feel free to reach out-I’d be happy to suggest additional locations for you to visit. Thank you for visiting my hometown!
The small orange ( mandarinn) is called kiat kiat Thegreen banana or we call is Saba ..what we use in banana que or turn ( street food - banana coated with caramelized sugar ) It become yellow when it is ripe ...
@@darwinmendoza1118 Excuse me if I contradict. In my opinion, bananas are not plantains in English, although there is a banana variety called plantains. Saba (and cardava) comes from Philippines and are planted in Malaysia, Indonesia and other places and they are cited as varieties of bananas in the Internet. Cardaba of Cebu and Bohol is maybe the saba in Manila. Maybe, because there is saba in Cebu which is smaller. If boiled, it is yellower and deliciously firmer of texture than cardaba. Btw, cardaba and saba are cooking bananas, mostly by boiling in its peelings, or frying. Both could be eaten raw when ripe. Saba is relatively rare maybe because of it has smaller size, so planters avoid them. Cardaba is the one used in fried banana que, maybe because it is plentiful and bigger. I can cite 2 Dominican Latina YTubers filming a fruit stand in a Manila mall. They show some bananas which look like lacatan, some look like Cebu's cardaba. Then they commented that "there are no plantains here, and never seen one in the PH". They have stayed in PH for at least half year and gone to many cities/tourist destinations as far as Zamboanga. Also, pictures of plantains in the Internet show that the fruit is elongated, similar to lacatan, but surely looks different. Sorry for the lengthy story... it is just because I am curios about plantains when I view a YT vid wherein "uncontacted" Amazon tribe people (still naked in bahag) cross a wide river , when there is less water, to ask civilized tribal Amazonians for stuffs, like shirts and foodstuffs, and plantains were the most preferred. I wonder why they can't grow plantains at their side of the river. Maybe they are too lazy. For one thing, they resist the Brazilian government's efforts to bring them to civilization. And they get angry when they are not given, even threatening to kill their donors. If plantains were given, they fight for it. And they get angry when they are not given, even threatening to kill their donors.
This video is like watching a movie or documentary. Well edited and well narrated. This is absolutely the most beautiful video about Cebu I've watched on UA-cam.
I am happy for your family loving and enjoying in our country,THE PHILIPPINES. I am also grateful that your family really are down to earth conversing to locals. GOD BLESS AND ENJOY MORE IN OTHER CITIES OR PROVINCES OF THE PHILIPPINES.I got teared when I watched your daughter in one of your video,where she cried because of what and your family experienced local life. I remember she said,she learned a lesson of not complaining of what you don't have but be grateful of all the blessings you have. I am a filipino working as university professor in Japan and missing my country.
Hello in Japan 👋🏼 We are having an amazing time! It's a beautiful country! Yes Ella was very touched after visiting Tondo. It made a big impact on her.
Hello Jo Life fam! Cebu is my dad's hometown and definitely in our bucket list to visit soon. Good job sharing the place. We can tell you guys having so much fun and appreciate your humbleness. Keep up the good work, guys🥰
I was there in Cebu City last January to celebrate my 1st sinulog festival I've never expected to many people celebrating the awesome sinulog festival ever thank you for this video greetings from zamboanga City Philippines 🇵🇭❤❤
Mall of Asia ( SM ) - MOA in Pasay Manila is the 3rd largest mall in Southeast Asia ...the oldest China Town is in Binondo Manila The biggest IKEA mall in the world. is in Pasay Manila
Welcome to our country Philippines,if you are tire and stressed of your daily needs,go to Philippines is the medication of your stressed in life,so many things you can do Philippines,is the stressed reliever,
Another pretty and interesting trip with ..The JO.s on Cebu. Never heard of the place but glad I found it. Amazing those big shopping centers and fruit markets, It always amazes me how all those heaps of Fruit and Veg can be turned over so quick to still have it all fresh. Thanks JO's I really enjoyed the trip. I must give a big shout out to the Electricians there....Now which one is the live line and which is the negative one..Hmmmmn....Are this one...ZAAAAAP...ouch...Byeeee.
Ha ha imagine being an electrician 🤣 I think they just keep adding new cables lol. We really enjoyed exploring the island. You guys would have loved that pork belly 🤤
Such a wonderful Family ❤❤❤That was natural and amazing. Thank your being honest about our country. Keep exploring and enjoy the beautiful nature of the Philippines. New subscriber here. Be safe and healthy!
The fat bananas are what we call Saba Banana. It is the kind used for cooking. If you have tried the Banana Cue or the Turon, it is that kind of banana. It is also sometimes included in some Filipino dishes like Nilaga and Pochero. I hope you can try those. We also have Lakatan Banana, which has a bit of salty-sweet taste to it and yellow-orangey in color. These have thicker peelings with a somewhat edgy feel to it. Also, Latundan Banana, which has a bit of soury-sweet taste and pale yellowish color. These have thinner peels which are smooth and round. Aside from these 2 popular kinds, there are also Señorita Banana, Green Banana (mostly for export due to clean-looking skin, but not really nice to your palate), and Butuan Banana (which is more like the Saba, but with too many seeds in it that you may not get interested in eating it), Morado (reddish peellngs), Lagkitan, and more.
At 2:51 its Chinese Tangerine. At 3:06, we referred to it as Saba or Sweet Plantain. It can be prepared by boiling, whether it is unripe or ripe, and can be either boiled or fried.
About the bananas name you asked it's " cardaba "in Cebuano,it's basically use for turon andbananaque...can be eaten also when ripe...maybe next time coming in Cebu try visiting Inambakàn falls in Ginatilan ,Cebu.I really like your video guys!❤❤❤
WOW! Love your video, that is Saging na Saba, there are different varieties of bananas in the Philippines. Enjoy your stay. It’s more fun having you in the Philippines! 🇦🇺🦘🇵🇭 Take care and stay healthy.
Thank you for sharing such nice video. Very rare to see foreigners to go off the beaten path. I don't know if you noticed, Filipino's are very warm and nice people. Most UA-camrs go to the Philippines because they don't mind being in the photo or video. I really love this video, thank you for sharing
Cebu, is one of the BEST CITY IN the PHILIPPINES. .LOts of Historical Places to visit...Nice White Sand Beaches, LUXURY HOTELS. Etc...Accommodating PEOPLE!!!!!!!!! Come to CEBU!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The green banana is Saba or Cooking Banana,.it is similar to plantains but its sweeter when ripe and some foreign tourist would call it ice cream banana because its very soft creamy and sweet when ripe..
3:04 It's a "saba", or cooking bananas, most popularly used for "bananacue" a very popular street food in the Philippines, highly recommend trying that, they can be found sold everywhere 😊
Great video once again. A lot of very interesting experiences. The whale-shark problem is difficult - I think sometimes as a tourist we have to accept that we're interracting with nature and animals in a sub-optimal way. It would feel different and "more natural" if you were the only people there, but that's an impossible fantasy. So might as well participate rather than not. Anyway, thanks for filming all these different parts of Cebu (and please dont forget to buy Ella those clothes which were so cheap and discounted, and did I mention cheap? 😆)
Thanks so much for watching 🙏🏼 Yes we were definitely on the fence about swimming with the whale sharks but we came all the way to Cebu to see them. We are glad we did in the end. I do hope they find a way to regulate it better in the future. Ha ha Ella and shopping 🤣
Living the Jo Life family.. hope you visit also in iligan city lanao del norte... a lot of water falls like maria cristina falls power falls in buruun, tinago falls.. maze park..timoga falls.. lawis river... hope you can try it to visit there.. too many amazing resorts to doscover land of iligan city.
The best month to visit cebu is January,, the sinulog festival celebration is the biggest in the country.. You should experience it next time in the vlog... ❤❤
I am from Oslob , it's very nice that you visited our place & enjoyed whaleshark watching.Hope next time you could visit as well the Tumalog Falls which is right now is temporary closed due to significant reduction of water flow , hopefully soon will open again. Love from Oslob❤
Hello there! I'm from Mindanao, Philippines. Welcome to Cebu! When me and my friends went to Kawasan falls almost 30 years ago, it was already a tourist spot but we have to walk from the main road (highway) using a dirt trail for about a kilometer or so to reach it. The resort huts were still rudimentary and we have to bring our own provisions like food and drinks and what not. There was no proper bath / toilet facilities back then. But the experience was unforgettable. Hope yours was, too !
The mom reminds me of Katy Perry and the daughter reminds me a lil bit of Keira Knightley. Such a lovely fam. Hats off to travel vloggers, I can't see myself doing what you're doing full time.
Enjoy and luv watching your vids and subscribing to your channel, your channel name is almost the same as the way I called my wife " Jo of my life ". I am pleased by the overwhelming appreciation of my Cebu City. I missed the place because I am away living in New Zealand at the moment..
That banana breed is called "Saba". It turns yellow when ripe but mostly eaten when boiled, fried in oil, or used as a vegetable. But it is most popular as street food called Banana Que, fried in brown sugar caramel.

Aside from these 2 popular kinds, there are also Señorita Banana, Green Banana (mostly for export due to clean-looking skin, but not really nice to your palate), and Butuan Banana (which is more like the Saba, but with too many seeds in it that you may not get interested in eating it), Morado (reddish peellngs), Lagkitan, and more.
That's so interesting! Thanks for all the information 🙂🙏🏼
love real blogs like this showing both contrasts
Really happy you enjoyed our video! We had a lot of fun making it ☺️
must be fun
Welcome to Cebu city lifestyle ❤😁
Thanks for the welcome! So much fun!
At 2:51 its Chinese Tangerine. At 3:06, we referred to it as Saba or Sweet Plantain. It can be prepared by boiling, whether it is unripe or ripe, and can be either boiled or fried.
Ah ok. Thanks for the information 🙏🏼
If you have more time, visit Malapascua. North Cebu.
Thanks for the suggestion 🙏🏼

Delicious food! I am stuck on Vietnamese food and Shushi then Curry, my 3 favorite's foods! Even tried Fugu twice.
Those green fat banana's are called "saba" which can deep fried it with sugar.
Cooking banana
We Filipinos loves you guys👍🥰❤️🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 enjoy and be safe always 🙏❤️🇵🇭
Nice blogggg love it
The green banana is Saba or Cooking Banana,.it is similar to plantains but its sweeter when ripe and some foreign tourist would call it ice cream banana because its very soft creamy and sweet when ripe..
Thanks for the info!
3:04 It's a "saba", or cooking bananas, most popularly used for "bananacue" a very popular street food in the Philippines, highly recommend trying that, they can be found sold everywhere 😊
Great video once again. A lot of very interesting experiences. The whale-shark problem is difficult - I think sometimes as a tourist we have to accept that we're interracting with nature and animals in a sub-optimal way. It would feel different and "more natural" if you were the only people there, but that's an impossible fantasy. So might as well participate rather than not. Anyway, thanks for filming all these different parts of Cebu (and please dont forget to buy Ella those clothes which were so cheap and discounted, and did I mention cheap? 😆)
Thanks so much for watching 🙏🏼 Yes we were definitely on the fence about swimming with the whale sharks but we came all the way to Cebu to see them. We are glad we did in the end. I do hope they find a way to regulate it better in the future. Ha ha Ella and shopping 🤣
Living the Jo Life family.. hope you visit also in iligan city lanao del norte... a lot of water falls like maria cristina falls power falls in buruun, tinago falls.. maze park..timoga falls.. lawis river... hope you can try it to visit there.. too many amazing resorts to doscover land of iligan city.

I remembered climbing and reaching the top of the falls at Kawasan and then jumping to the water.
Sounds like so much fun!
Hello there! I'm from Mindanao, Philippines. Welcome to Cebu! When me and my friends went to Kawasan falls almost 30 years ago, it was already a tourist spot but we have to walk from the main road (highway) using a dirt trail for about a kilometer or so to reach it. The resort huts were still rudimentary and we have to bring our own provisions like food and drinks and what not. There was no proper bath / toilet facilities back then. But the experience was unforgettable. Hope yours was, too !
It was definitely worth it to see the whale sharks. They are so beautiful. I hope they improve the system in the future though! Thanks for watching 🙏🏼

Those are Saba Bananas at 3:04
It's a cooking banana mainly used for Filipino Banana Que and Turon.
Enjoy and luv watching your vids and subscribing to your channel, your channel name is almost the same as the way I called my wife " Jo of my life ". I am pleased by the overwhelming appreciation of my Cebu City. I missed the place because I am away living in New Zealand at the moment..
Love this fam... From iloilo city Philippines.. newly subs here ❤️
That banana breed is called "Saba". It turns yellow when ripe but mostly eaten when boiled, fried in oil, or used as a vegetable. But it is most popular as street food called Banana Que, fried in brown sugar caramel.
Welcum to the Philippines ❤
Thank you 🙏🏼
