While other Filipino youtubers are racing to show their international trips/vlogs, we have Erwan who is busy promoting local tourism and exploring the beauty our country has to offer. And that’s what I love about him. Kudos!
oo nga, yung sa suggested videos dito puro mga artista na youtubers na pumunta sa ibang bansa.
Yes, its good information especially for me who is Indonesian. 😊
True !
Amen
it is not only erwan but also kulas "becoming filipino" does it as well
This man (and the team) deserves to be in Netflix 💯
NatGeo why not feature this man right here??
Make this blue if you agree
Yes,they should! We learn a lot from his documentaries
@@vivianmariesimon6194 super
trueee
Yes super duper Agree❤
Pleeease
When you say CONTENT, it's ERWAN.
Erwan being the best writer, narrator and content creator as usual. 👏
Pauline Hebres Totally agree!
Narrator? Not at all. He keeps on mumbling..
@@guitarcovers299 if you listen carefully and be attentive , there are lots of stuff in what he had "mumbled". perhaps you are not interested just only watching.
Exactly what I thought too
anthony bourdain of the philippines.
"...our earth doesn't need us. In the cities we are the kings and queens ruling over our domain, in nature we are but humble guests"
I love these lines. 👍🏼
Unoffially shrm me too! Such a truth!
The quality of this video is much better than those in TV ❤️
🙌
Seriously though! Who needs cable these days when we’ve got Erwan? Haha
Indeed!
And erwan’s narration makes me feel to move my ass, and go on enjoy and travel ph. Woah, thanks for an inspiring video ❤️
Amen to that!! Better than rated k and jessica soho's .
"Don't chase what everyone before you has pictured. Come for immersion, connection, come with no expectations, and just enjoy the journey."
EH
I felt humbled 💋
I love this too! Powerful! :-)
I love this too...
❤️❤️❤️
"Look for immersion, connections. Come with no expectation."
Nice...
This is what travel vlog should look like. Interesting content. Great narrator.
shiela marie Arca i agree! And i love it!
Very true a story teller
I totally agree - professional and amazing content.
Totally agree
Exactly.
you are so correct about how Igorots so patriotic,. .I myself is an Igorot, and so proud to be one. .
As a tourism graduate, I salute your sustainable tourism advocacy! On point man!
I think you were looking for this phrase: "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time"
Cinematography at it's finest! 👌
*at its'
i agree.. this is definitely netflix quality..
Nat geo quality
I need editors like this!
do you know what camera is he using?
"It stands as a testament that our Earth doesn't need us. In the cities, We are the Kings and Queens ruling over our domain. In nature, we are but humble guests and like old good visitors leave nothing but gifts behind and take only our memories back with us. Don't chase what everyone before you has pictured." -Erwan
You just dont do content, you also share knowledge thanks kuys !
sooooo true.
Man Erwan's vids are LIT! His videos are like that of The Discovery Channel or The National Graphic. Thank you for showing the beauty of Sagada and of our lands here in the North.At the same time you never forget to leave a reminder about the sacredness of our traditions. RESPECT SIR and QUALITY WORK!!
That's what I'm thinking also that I heard or watch something like his videos.
You can tell there’s so much work and research done in this video. Thanks for this Erwann!
Agree, great work!
Underrated vlog. These are the kind of videos that should trend! Amazing!
True
I'm from Mountain Province. I love how this video captured the countryside, comforty vibe of the mountains. Also, I love you how you pronounce "Etag", with the schwa sound. 😊
Please continue making informative, fun and adventurous videos. ❤️
Exactly, it sounded perfect 😊
Erwann's channel is like watching national geographic, awesome content.
This should definitely be on netflix! It would definitely be a must watch. The quality and cinematography is at par or even better than what we see on tv.
This place is so much magical. Ang hirap iexplain ung feeling. Ma aattach ka tlga sa Sagada. We'll definitely come back.
I agree!
Dang, this is what I love about you Erwan. You promote Philippines through your content but you never miss out on the chance to remind people and possible tourists, how tourism with respect should be done!! Kudos! That's how a vlogger should be, you allow us to have a glimpse of the experience you've had without failing to remind us that we should responsibly enjoy as we tour! 🤩😍
thanks for watching!
Solid talaga jan sa sagada.. Kung gusto nyo mag unwind sa nkakastress na maynila, pmunta lang kayo dito. The best!
Kudos kay erwan lupit ng editing at cinematography! 👍👍👍👍👍
My pleasure touring sir erwan...no words can describe how he inter act with people he meets....he's so cowboy and very generous...u are not just visiting our place hence ure also advertising our product and marketing our tourist spot thank u so much for that...thanks DOT Baguio for recommending us to be the tour guide so we had the chance to tour along with a very great man like sir erwan even for a very short time....God bless u more
Wow. That’s awesome to experience touring Erwan and his team.
Mond tacason yes it is indeed sir....
I did not grow up in Sagada, but my mom did and I go there from time to time. This just means so much for us Igorots. 💜 Thank you for being respectful to our traditions and culture. And for being a good role model to other tourists visiting the Cordilleras or any other place. ♥
Way back in 2016, We chose Sagada to be our Thesis Subject. We noticed the negative impacts of tourism on the environment, culture, lifestyle of the Sagada Igorots. Now, I am very happy to see the Improvements in Sagada's Tourism. Responsible Tourisim it is. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗
It would be great to see you in TV as a TVHost --- having your own Program featuring natures/places & foods. Kudos to your Vlog. Better than in TV programs aired. ❤️
Erwan's convincing people to visit Sagada is amazing.. This guy is one of the best! 👏👏👏
And the cinematography is 💓💓💓
I think you just found my "home."
(I'm typing this off the cuff, so bare with me...)
I immigrated with my younger brother to the United States twenty nine years ago. I was barely twenty and my bro was almost fifteen.
I did what most immigrants do in their new "home": put my head down, don't ask questions, just get in the grind. So I did.
I am very thankful for the opportunity given to my brother and me. We're very grateful for the chance to provide some support to our love ones in the Philippines. We didn't want to waste it. So, we participated in the grind with purpose.
Years went by. Things happened. School, military service, part time jobs, more school, etc.
In the 29 years I've lived outside the Philippines, my concept of "home" became more complex because of the "grind." For first 19 years of my life, I called Baranggay Olympia in Makati my home. Then Maryland became home. Then Illinois. Upstate New York. Idaho. Now, California. All of those places are a part of me. Those places are my "home."
In all these years, I have this fascination with the mountain region of Northern Luzon. It's like my "spiritual home." I can't explain it. I was born in Makati and I've never been to Baguio up until two months ago. I have no reference as to why I yearn to explore the northern part of Luzon. But as I get older, that yearning keeps on building up. So, two months ago, I dragged my husband across the Pacific Ocean, to explore Asia once again. This time, we made Baguio as one of our stops.
On our way to Baguio, I remember getting more excited as my brother in law's car threaded up the windy road to the mountain town. When we got to Baguio, I felt calm and joy kinda washed over me. I felt really good. I felt home.
Too bad we were only there for a long weekend.
I'm back in San Francisco, but I can't wait to go back to the mountains of Northern Luzon. My fascination with Benguet has grown ten folds since that since trip to Baguio. But the fascination is not just that anymore. It has morphed into something else. I want to find a home in the mountains on Northern Luzon. Some place with a firmly rooted cultural heritage.
But I don't want to find just a "new" home. If permitted, I want to find a community to join, respect its tradition, and help foster its culture.
The trouble is I did not know where to start. Until now.
So, thank you. Thank you for showing me where to start.
beautiful story ☺️ wishing you the best of luck!
@@featrmedia Maraming salamat!
Nice story u have there. I am an Igorot (Benguet/Mtn Province), been living here in NZ BUT i always miss my hometown. The feeling of emptiness is always on me, and always consider cordillera is my HOME. I must go back home after retiring. :)
*rich culture and tradition
*natural resource endowments
*more peaceful and serene
*cool CLIMATE
Hope u find our place home for u.
I grew up in Sagada, Besao and Baguio but I have lived in the silicon valley of California more that I have lived in the Philippines. I like to visit those beautiful places of northern Luzon but I prefer to live in the USA.
Real high quality content! 👍 it’s great how you’ve shown how beautiful the cordillera is and also how rich the culture is here.
Please don't skip the ads. It's one of the ways of giving back to Erwan having these kind of AMAZING videos. Kudos to him! 👌❤️🎉

This man is just so passionate and humble in everything he's doing. I always feel it.
>"Earth doesn't need us. In nature we are but humble guests.
>Don't chase what everyone before you has pictured. Look for immersion, connection, come with no expectation -Erwan Heussaff
Amazing!! Hoping to visit soon🙏🏽 I’m from Baguio but my childhood I lived in Samoki Bontoc, Lepanto Mankayan. I haven’t been back in over 40 yrs long story lol. but I want to take my daughter with me and show her our beautiful mountain province. Right now we live in New York City. Stay safe everyone!❤️
I am also from Mountain Province, lived too in Lepanto then moved to Mankayan and now my family is in Baguio.
My roots is fr Besao mt.province... proud igorot here... thank u for promoting our beautiful province.....
THE BEST ERWAN! ♥️♥️♥️ PROUD TO BE IGOROT HERE. 💝❤️❤️❤️❤️
UA-cam is so lucky to have a valuable content creator like you, Erwan. Such an inspirational influencer right here hindi yung puro pacute at sarili lang lagi yung video sa channel nila. This man is making a huge difference in terms of promoting our country. More power and success, mate. 10/10 💜
I miss Sagada. After this beautiful blog, I hope to visit Sagada again after the pandemic.
Proud Igorot here from Mt. Province... The respect you've shown to our culture is very much appreciated .... Thank You... 😁 "Gayyem di Ka-Igorotan"(Friend of the Igorots)
"Never chase the pictures the one before have taken. Look for connection, immersion. Come with no expectation. Just enjoy the journey."
We are only a guest of nature.
Hayzz napaka catchy...
I miss sagada so much 😭😭 after this pandemic i surely comeback.
National Geographic channel is shaking. Also, Anthony Bourdain is resting well in peace knowing that a good storyteller is here with us right now. AND also, the editing skilllllzzzzzzz galeng
Sagada my favorite town. It is so peaceful and i love how the people are. No one is rich and no one is above anyone. All people respect each other. Man i miss the town, the air, the vibe and everything. Cannot wait for my 3rd trip!
May I enquire, is there direct flight to go to this place? What is the recommend day tour agency? Thks
@@wongjenny8858 there is no direct flight and you can only visit on a car or by a bus. There's a lot of travel tours in the town center and you can also look for a companion since some spots needs certain number of people.
@@renzyboy69 Thanks for sharing .
@@renzyboy69 Do u mean we take flight to Manila and from there charter bus or car?
@@wongjenny8858 yes
Grabe idol!! Cinematography, story telling, everything!! Sa lahat ng video mo kitang kita yung passion mo to do those things, continue doing what you’re doing Erwan!! You don’t just film for money or fame, you film to inspire and deliver a message to your audience. 🙏🏻🙌🏻
i really enjoy watching erwan's vlogs especially the way he promote sustainable tourism here in the PH.
Discipline is truly what will preserve this place. To anyone who plans to visit Sagada please be one with the place and blend yourself.
"In the cities we are the Kings and Queens rulling over our domain. In nature we are but humbled guests. And like all good visitors we leave nothing but gifts behind and take only our memories back with us.
Dont chase what everyone before you has pictured.
Look for immersion, connection. Come with no expectations. And just enjoy the journey."
Such a great Narrator! Galing kuya. God bless!
This vid brings back memories... realizing that theres more in sagada to come and look forward to...vivid cinematography...crisp editing...amazing storytelling...great erwan...
When vlogs turn into documentary, can’t stop watching your interesting contents. Shout out to your team👏🏻
Best history teacher ever!! Thank you so much Erwan 💖
True... 😍😍
Celina Kim Tan indeed! Very educational. I salute this kid! He is not good, he’s great! We are blessed, he is sharing his talent with us eh?
Erwan creating these type of documentary videos is an eye-opener to every Filipino to go back, learn our roots and respect indigenous people as well as their ancestral lands. Hats off to this team! More videos like this in the future, please! 👏🏻
I literally cried while watching. Been to Sagada once. It's a beautiful treasure that needs protection. Thank you Erwan.
We visit Sagada last April. I remember the adventures that we had. It’s not only the beauty of Sagada that amaze us but also their culture. How they preserve their culture. There are lot of things that we learn from Sagada. Thank you Erwan for featuring Sagada. It is so very informative💞
ua-cam.com/video/xVzucJHV0Mk/v-deo.html👈❤️ here sir
Made me fall in love with Sagada again. First visited Sagada last 2014 and it could be gleaned from this video that nothing changed, the culture is still intact, people are still warm and friendly and Sagada is still a sanctuary! Looking forward to your next videos featuring the Mountain Province! ❤️
You make me fall in love with the Philippines even more. You put so much work in every video. Not just letting your viewers see the sceneries, you tell every place’s stories. Honestly one of the best content creators.
Yes when in Rome, I like how you communicate with the locals in your vlogs, so raw and honest indeed you are fit to be our Tourism ambassador 🤗🤗👏👏
Good model for sustainable tourism. I hope others tourist destinations here in Philippines follow suit. Thanks Erwan for sharing.
Sagada is the most beautiful place I have ever been so far here in PH. Will be back again on November.
Couln't agree more...
So many good reminders for future tourists. Big Yes to sustainable tourism. Thank you for making this beautiful vlog.
When erwan said "the special and unique feeling when you're in Sagada" that's exactly what i felt when i went there. ❤
Respect begets respect. Ur one respectful man, ur content shows much knowledge, respect and integrity (kudos to ur team, well researched)
Living abroad, Ive met fellow Filipinos ignorant of us IGOROTS, and belittle our culture. Thanks for this content Erwan, hope it will bring light to them.
Really appreciated that u integrated to the community.
Sagada is such a beauty. I love how the indigenous groups have worked hard to preserve the place by not letting outsiders own any land or business in Sagada.
The trip maybe l9ng and tiring, but the reward is priceless.
Great video, Erwan!
This is very underrated video. This kind of video should be trending. Cinematography and storytelling is the I've seen in a while. Those mainstream TV shows got nothing on this.
Im from Bontoc Mt. Provice. Thank you for featuring our place. I hope u enjoyed the Country side of the Phil.
#IgorotSide #WeTheNorth
Erwan is the perfect example of "Tangkilikin ang sarilin atin"
Wow. Hands down the best docu done about the place (hometown!). 😭👌 You should be recognized for your work 'cause it's just magical.
wow na wow.. Salamat ng marami sa pag feature sa napakagandang Cordillera Region.. specially sa bayan ng aking Ama. nakapunta na ako Bontoc, Sagada at sa Buscalan, napakaganda. maraming maraming salamat
Thank you very much for featuring Sagada! I first went there in 1992 when it was still simple. We were just starting out with our teaching careers. No big hotels except for few rugged inns and restaurants. It was paradise! A former teacher of ours is buried there, Dr. William Henry Scott, who wrote a lot about the Mountain Provinces and was a missionary there for 50 years. All the best to you!
never had the chance to go back since 2006. but will always have fond memories of that trip. thank you for sharing ur adventure, erwan!
I really appreciate what your doing... showing the true beauty of the Philippines via Sustainable Tourism 🤗
I had a solo travel in Sagada last year and it was a great experience. Watching this video shows me a different perspective of exploring the place. And now here I am thinking of going back again. Thank you for this video. Very inspiring indeed.
proud to be an igorot..thank you for the respect you gave to our culture and traditions..
Kudos to the team...this one deserves to be shown on national TV..
Thank you for visiting, promoting and appreciating our culture. Iyaman mi unay ♡
To all tourist : Let's all be responsible pleasee. We're begging.
Oh my....sukod sakpay naimatunan si Manong Jr Guindalos!!!!! Wowwww he sure changed a lot and even wowwww for his English skills and knowledge about our town. Congrats manong!!!!!
Looking forward to more eps for this series! 🙌🏼😍
They're coming soon!
Just WoW. Hindi pang ABSCBN or GMA docus pang National Geographic.
From Content,filming,and Narration ang galing very informative.
We need more of these videos out there. Promoting and preserving at the same time.
So LOVE your travel diary.. not only it is informative, but it is also made with alot of heart and respect for the place and its people.
Erwan serving us content like no other can! Justtt wow 😍❤
Hi Erwan. Im from Baguio City(Benguet). Beautifully made video, thank you so much for visiting Sagada and you share about the amazing nature in the mountain, the tradition and culture.
This is an amazing way to let Filipinos know that our very own Philippines has so much to over.The cinematography is 😱! 💕
*offer
Sagada will always be my favorite place in the Philippines. From awesome tourist spot, kindest people, best isaw ever. Wont have any 2nd thought in going back there. Your vlog erwan is so damn good.
Beautiful video indeed! You've certainly got the qualities of a good writer, narrator and an effective travel blogger! Bravo! Never get tired of going back to Sagada!😋
In 1961 at the old Mountain Province I believe it was fellow PACD(now DILG) trainee Washington Salibad who was assigned here in Sagada. He was so lucky to have helped in developing it into a tourist spot. Wonder if fellow 13th batcher trainees of the then Presidential Assistant on Community Development can still remember us their fellow trainees at UP Los Banos Laguna Philippines? Warmest regards from your fellow trainee who is now in USA!
"You can't get so hung up on where you'd rather be, that you forget to make the most of where you are" This definitely made me realize I should be reconnected with my roots and I should learn more about our very own culture. This one's a great vlog. Thank you for showcasing Mt. Province (Sagada) Erwan! Going there first week of October and I'm excited!
ps That's a perfectly weaved top! :)
Fell in love with place 10 years ago that I went 3 times in the same year despite the challenge of getting there. It still holds as one of the most beautiful places I've been to. I hope it stays the same. Indeed, it should be #morefuninthephilippinesforever
If you were my history teacher, I would never be absent plus I'll enjoy learning so much hahahahaha bonus na yung visuals mo hehe
Grabe tong si Erwann pakibigyan na nga to ng sariling TV SHOW napakagaling niya!!!
Erwan's vlogs featuring local tourism is something we have to watch over and over again.
The profoundness in your words and beauty in story-telling. Your choice of words are no non-sense. Always love watching you, Erwan! ♥️
Erwan, how have you not been picked up for a documentary. Thank you for all that you do to raise awareness about the beauty of the culture in the more remote places of the Philippines. Great writing, cinematography and voiceover work.
My husband and I drove to sagada from tarlac last yr..it took us 12hrs to get to the town proper. We loved it there. We wanted to get a property there to settle down at. Beautiful place and beautiful people. BEST COFFEE. i cant wait to go back. ❤
There's one thought that left a strong mark in my mind as the best thing to do in our next local trip. It is to develop connections with the locals as the best source of information on their place, places, food, customs/activities to explore, to visit and to discover. Keep it up! Very informative, detailed, etc. Likewise, you have so much things to tell about the place like you belong there. Love it!
We need this type of travel documentary for all the Philippine provinces. Truly inspiring.
Thanks to you Erwan. You're the best Travel Vlogger! The Music, the Content and the Cinematography is so Lit.
This is why you are one of my fav vlogger co'z you promote everything what's in the Philippines natural resources and also you promote presevation . As a EnviSci alumni, sustainable development must be pursued and focus by our local government so in that way we can enjoy everything our natural resources freely. .
Thank you so much Kuya Erwan 😊😊😊
This what separates erwan from other vloggers. Quality content, nice cinematography and great storytelling.
I love Sagada. It’s where my roots came from. The ambience,the foods,the rituals,everything. And yeah Erwan is right that you have to respect their rituals.
