I know I've said this before, but the passion you have for your home is so infectious. It's so clear that you absolutely love the land, the food, and the people there. I knew very little about the Philippines before I discovered your channel, but now, thanks to you and the other Fighter Boys, I know it's a place I absolutely have to visit someday! I can't wait to experience the beauty and hospitality of these amazing islands for myself. By the way, your positive energy is everything, man!
Mate so well put... Yeah this blokes channel is great! In 29 days I will be going there again and visiting some new places recommended by KJ, to say I am stoked AF is a total understatement! Bro you simply have to visit PI, it really is heaven on earth!
It has been just over two years since my wife and I left DAVAO. I WILL NOT let another year go by without going back to the Philippines. You definitely know how to motivate us Kulas.
Love the videos you post. I have been following for a few months now. Really inspiring. Forging plans to visit myself one day. You are truly blessed to have all the experiences you've had and I am thankful to have been able to have seen some of them. Salamat Kaayo! Keep it up!
You are such a joy to watch, Kulas... Your sincerity and genuine love for our country the Philippines are undeniable and quite inspirational... The Department of Tourism should hire you to become an ambassador of goodwill promoting everything or anything that is Pinoy... Mabuhay ka, Kulas... May the good LORD bless you immeasurably 😇😇😇
The gem of Northern Mindanao that most of fellow Filipinos don't know about. But glad that I'm one of the few who adore the beauty of nature in Mindanao and goosebumps of your word HOME 😘😘😘
The philippines is the best place to go for travelling, the food, the culture, the scenery & the people make you feel so welcome & part of the family. Getting to travel up & down the eastcoast was the best trips I have ever done, cant wait till I get back and see more & experience more of one of the most beautiful countries I have ever travelled too. I would encourage everybody to go to the Philippines & get out of their comfort zone, leave modern world behind & see, experience and enjoy everything the Philippines has to offer and feel what its really like to be happy & part of one of the biggest families in the world.
this is my home,your home, our home. together we travel with you kulas, watching ur videos it really feels like traveling with you learning new things with you.. goodmorning ..rock on... and apir
Kulas you have so much positive vibes in you. Cant believe a Canadian promoting Mindanao to experience what it has to offer. Im so grateful to you . Thank you so much Kulas!
Love the nature and breathtaking sites of Bukidnon - the lovely mountain ranges, vast farmlands, and it's greeneries! Love ko Rin Ang CDO and the majestic Camiguin Island.🤸🚴🤾🙅
Awww Kulas. This is so heartwarming video. The love you have with our province Northern Mindanao... ❤ You're also one of the best thing that Region 10 has.. so much pride Kulas. 👍👍👍
Awesome Kyle as usual. It is mind boggling how proud you are of our Country . Thank you for promoting it all the time. I know you deserve all the appreciations and all the credits along with your fellow bloggers Finn, Dan, Mike, Bret and more. Thanks to Kumar and missed Junjun too. See you on your next one.
I salute you Kulas! You are a genuine Filipino Ambassador to the world. So organic because you speak based on your experience going to these places, explore, meet the locals and learn their culture. Awesome!
You've opened Northern Mindanao and its neighboring provinces for the world to see. Proving that Mindanao is a safe place to foreign tourist like you and locals as well. There is this song by Yoyoy Villame, a Filipino singer, I'm not sure if you already heard him and his song, "Philippine Geography." In this song, Mindanao was referred to as "The Promised Land." I don't know how this title of Mindanao implies at present. Anyway, thank u and your friends for bringing good vibes to that place.
Kulas is no longer a foreign tourist just like what you said.. he is living in the Philippines particularly in CDO for years already and he is more than a local if i may say so.. that's why he said it HOME.
That's admirable for a Canadian to feel at home in the Philippines. It makes us Filipinos proud of our country. Indeed, home is where your heart is. This doesn't necessarily mean the place where your parents raised you.
The most warm hearted cover you've done kulas. Truly inspires me in an natural way. There's so much I don't know about my country. I may be in southern mindanao yet I becoming such an outsider. I heartedly thankful for ur love of our country. I wish to see u growing day older everyday with us.
You are a perfect Mindanao ambassador Kulas! Thank you. This video is worth watching and sharing. I've been to Cagayan de Oro, Bukidnon and Misamis Oriental. I've been to Cebu, Bacolod as well and I'm looking forward to explore more places in the Visayas region too. I've been to Davao several times too and fell in love with the local fruit called Marang. I'm from Zambales and most of the places I've been to are the provinces in Luzon (Central, Northern and Southern) but I hope to visit and explore more of Mindanao like Basilan. Sultan Kudarat and the likes. 😄👏🏾
This is perfect Kulas. I wanna show this to the Vancouver Philippines Consulate and they should update the website plus YOUR WORK SHOULD BE THERE AND YOU Dong Kulas.
Of all your videos, this is my fave! Because you put all your heart into this one, showcasing the beauty of Northern Mindanao, of our Mindanao! Been to Bukidnon twice but I feel like I have more to discover in it and to its neighboring cities. Thanks for this Kulas! You are now my favorite vlogger! ❤️
Gi blessed jud maayo ang Ginoo dinha sa Mindanao. Super amazing natural Islands, Natures & so many beautiful plants and tree's. Pwidi matanom bisan unsa.
I stayed in CDO the whole Summer time long, long time ago but haven't had the chance to explore its beautiful sceneries that you feature in your vlogs. I'd love to visit again, even for a week. Thank you for showcasing to the whole world the beauty of my beloved country, the Philippines! More power to you! Mabuhay!
Awesome video Kyle! You are so lucky to discover our country's natural beauty. I am living in Alberta for the past 8 years and I realized Philippines is one of the most beautiful place in the world. And I agree that you can experience what nature has to offer all year round. Take care Kyle❤
Wow! Kulas, so teary eyed ining imong video. I am from Mindanao particularly from your home city CDO. Some of those places nga imong gi mention akong ng na adtoan but there are so many pa jud nga bag o nga wa pa and the way you promote Northern Mindanao is very illustrative, very expressive and so detalyado. Thank you thank you Kulas. You are an amazing guy. God bless and always take care.
Wow! This vid is an excellent showcase of what a lot of people still don't know about that beautiful part of the Philippines which is skipped unfortunately by many travellers. Thanks for sharing your home in the Philippines. I believe you have been instrumental in changing people's perception of Mindanao (or at least the northern part of it). Stay safe and positive.. Godspeed!
Wow! Truly Amazing place! Thank you Kulas for sharing it to us who can’t even go there to see despite the fact that we come from that beautiful country! I love to see your videos!

You're the best ! Im'm so proud of you Kyle! Yung mas proud ka pa kesa sa mga totoong Pilipino and mas maganda pa afdverts mo kesa sa DoT. Everytime time I watch your videos, my tears fell down. We love you Kyle ! 😍❤
Oh my! Just wow! I am currently working here in London and my colleagues are telling me to go to neighboring countries for travel but this video made me realize that I need to explore my country first. It has a lot to offer. Can't wait to go home for a holiday! Mabuhay Pilipinas! I just subscribed :D
I just don't know but this video made me cry! 😢 Proud to be Mindanaon, from the province of ZAMBOANGA DEL SUR! Thank you for promoting Mindanao, Kulas! God bless you and God bless Mindanao!
Northern Mindanao is beautiful!
More to see!!!
