This is exactly my jam. Just hopping on a motorcycle and heading off into the mountains, playing some pool, chatting up the locals. This is what the Philippines is really about. Talk about a great day.
My dear girlfriend and i are moving to cebu the 17th of november cause she will start working as a nurse there and i am so excited to go do province exploring! You doing these kind of things does give me more confidence to do the same. Thank you!
Aloha ❤. Thanks Tom for Sharing and being a Positive Good Person like You ! No m Matter where you go ! Just Follow your Instant also you GOT A GREAT KMAR PERSONALITY AND PEOPLE SEE IT AND FEELS IT TOO. Neva like the Military Suit Was Looking at you and Follow you in the Beinging ! I Could see Him Staring 👀at you Walking and Talking to the Three Woman selling there clothing Outside store ! But Love your Videos also Meeting People ! Your a FUN , GOOD , FUNNIE PERSON TO TRAVEL WITH ALSO VERY OPENMINDED AND GET ALONG WITH GOOD VIBE PEOPLE CULTURES 😊👋 ! Take Care Godbless You where ever you Go...... !!
I started watching MJ's channel and got to know Roaming Hogan from there. I am a real fan of you and MJ now. All 3 channels are unique but they all have interesting adventures. I look for your content especially because I enjoy your interaction with the locals and the format of visiting different places without knowing ahead of time who you will meet and where you will end up. You make us feel that we are roaming with you!
Hi Tom, nice video playing pool with the locals exception of the guy dressed in fatigues, while you were talking with the ladies. Take care and stay safe.
Greetings Smooth Operator, Another great post from you. Love these run by the seat of your pants journeys to the province. Love the area where you visited. I know this is a spontaneous thing you do, but I was wondering is there a way google map locate the road and area you went in your video? So if people find it an interesting place they too can go there? I know I would be interested to go where you’ve been here. Best regards, California Fan and Redsox Nation Faithful
The Philippines look so chill and relax there. The ladies seem like they love the American people or any tourists. That come by and say hello to them. Do you like their sense of humor.......😅😊
This is a perfect example of what I said in my other comment. If you did this exact thing in Indonesia, you wouldn’t find anyone that could speak English in most places. They would smile and be friendly, but you couldn’t communicate. You wouldn’t be called Joe like the Philippines. You’d be called mister. Speaking fairly fluent English gives Filipinos a distinct advantage when it comes to be friendly and welcoming to foreigners. It’s why there’s so many call centers there I’m sure…..along with so many OFWs. It’s very smart for the Philippines to teach English like they do. It’s giving them an advantage other countries in SE Asia don’t have. Not including Singapore.
Good thing English subject is being taught in the school and English language is the medium of instruction here also, that's the reason why we can speak and understand English even just the basic.
Loved the views Tom! My morning routing is, make coffee, check for Roaming Hogan or Meljean's videos before starting the day. I'm not sure if the road goes all the way to Toledo city on the other side? I would loved to explore it one day😊.
Apparently jump shots are considered a foul in the barangay. Nice 2-ball in the side though. Good to find a relatively level table on the side of a mountain. I enjoy these “roaming” vids.
Hi all. Yes I get it everyday. I live in the province and in a small province house with the 5 other families homes on a small block. And 30 pigs. It a dirt road and all the neighborhoods on this road say the small thing. Hello Joe. I don't mind as long as they call me late for lunch
Really one of your best Tom. I recently returned from San Antoni northern Samar spending a month in the Philippines with my love and will be back at Christmas. Thanks for sharing this today best wishes from Melbourne
I holidayed in Mindanao from the early 80's until we built our house in 2005 and moved there to live in 2008. We lived in a small town in Bukidnon close to CdeO. I enjoyed living in the Bukid as the air was more fresh less humid and cooler than at sea level. The thing I would not do but you do is drive around on your motorbike without body or head protection. I have witnessed and seen the outcome of many motorbike accidents in my almost 40 years of association with the Philippines. Yes I can understand you wanting to travel around but be careful as you well know medical facilities are not always available and if so can be very expensive. I personally have travelled around Mindanao, Bohol and Camiguin always taking my Isuzu. When we go further afield, we fly and go on organised tours. Yes your young and enjoy life but be careful maybe thats why MJ always worries when you drive fast she is just being cautious, take care.
Oh my gosh! This guy is so brave that he had guts of going to this rural outskirts. I an a Filipino but im afraid to go that kind of place alone. But in fairness, the people there are friendly. Well, thats how Visayans are treating visitors. Im a Visayan also who speaks Cebuano.
Seems fine to me. Nice people. Try the hood in America if you want to see a dangerous and sketchy place. I've ended up in the hood quite a bit and it was always unplanned. One time was a party and gang members were there. They had guns everywhere and lots of drugs and alcohol. I ended up getting along with them well due to my outgoing personality at the time. Was able to get the other white guys with me to loosen up since they seemed nervous at first. So much so I got the guys hosting it saying " you're the coolest white guys we ever met."
Too bad he was faking the "first time" part and your "bravery" image is unwarranted. Let's hope one day he actually does what he himself deems a worthy challenge.
Hi Tom, great video. The locals are friendly, nice playing pool with the guys. Wow! Your a good pool player. May God Bless & protect you always. From Chicago USA
damn, I'd wear a helmet, I risk it riding a bike where I am that has bike lanes, but for years I haven't risked it, have never really fallen except when mountain bike riding
Like 510 👍 Hello from Naples, Florida. An awesome ride! And we enjoyed the visit to the village. Thank you so much for sharing this part of the world with us.
Accepting tagay is crucial in some places.... where I lived for 3 years (Inabanga ) before leaving the Philippines forever at 10, someone was killed for arrogantly saying no.
I actually met Efren Reyes at nationals in Vegas in 2000(yes I play)not much of a conversation due to the language barrier but if it happens again I will have the wife translate,,,,
I hope you injoy your rides and had a good experience .its a nice place my home town people there are all friendly they always smile if you talk to them keep safe always on your travel vlog more subscribers
Fantastic Tom 16 months to my retirement and I hope to enjoy the little road trips through the provinces . I ride here in the states and some of the best times are on the unknown back roads. I hope to hell to stay away from the bigger cities and expat old man life. 👍
@jeffrey more....And he is still in Cebu City. Those mountain roads and villages are still part of Cebu City. You can't do the same outside Cebu because they don't have nice roads in their mountains. The roads in other islands and provinces are only on the low lands.
Great video, nice to see a vlogger show the other parts of Philippines which is great. I've been three times there already and have seen areas like in your video and love it. Can't wait go back to Cebu in January ✈️👍
nice to see an irish man visiting the philippines, to be honest, we got something in common when it comes to humor, i know coz ive been here in irelan for the last 5yrs
That jumpshot was a foul. You scratch and thouch the white with the side of the cue. That is what people in bars do, but to jump correctly you need a jump cue and hit the white with the leather only.
Great video. Have you ever seen a expat travelling the Philippines in a van? I’m thinking about a 6 month visit but I want to use those 6 months travelling around to get an idea of the country. I’m thinking it would be more cost effective to buy a van to sleep rather than paying weekly rates in different towns and cities.
Yes, some Filipinos do it. Using a van just like in the U.S. everything that trend in America are also a trend to the Philippines, like the battle of the UA-camr, boxing, basketball, to songs, ECT. I think we are the son of the U.S😅
That buidling you saw next to the old church might be the “new” church. With how rundown the old one is, it also might be too small to handle current crowds and isnt abkle to be expanded. So the new building next door with the benches (pews) might be the new open air church expansion. Lots of churches in philippines have shutters or are open since thye are to big to air condition and you need the airflow to let out humidity and heat. Generally the people in the countryside are wonderful and friendly. You might run into some who are less comfortable speaking english as it is less common in the countryside. So you may have to talk to a few people before you get someone who is both more fluent and comfortable speaking english. Also, in some parts of Mindanao you still have issues with Muslim rebels and in some parts of Samar you have Communist rebels. So in Samar I would recommend you stay down near the coast where they dont seem to have any issues with rebels. And in Mindanao make sure you are with friends or locals who will keep you in safe areas.
The guy wearing camo that was eyeballing you was probably a local NPA officer..... but as always your good nature and willingness to drink and mingle with the community prevailed.
Acutally thats bfat or staff law enforment from barangay., Where the baranggray assign a staff in high far away place to secure small village. As you see his observ8ng the behavior of pl entering the village, when its secure .his gone.. he is just doing his job .
@@dispelledword7818 Actually a Barangay Tanud could also be an NPA Officer.... or a Mayor might be a member of Abu Sayyaf. It's more fun in the Philippines. 😉👍
Thank you for the visit. It's amazing to see my barangay getting featured on your travel video. Come back again and I'll be your tour guide for free. 😅
Oh I see the lotto outlet there did you know what last October 1 almost 433 filipinos won first time ever happen in the whole world only happen here in this country but the jackpot price is only 233milyon something then the result is 550 thousand each.
The Philippines symbolize the simplicity of life. I love Philippines always
This is exactly my jam. Just hopping on a motorcycle and heading off into the mountains, playing some pool, chatting up the locals. This is what the Philippines is really about. Talk about a great day.
I like how you mingle with the locals and have entertaining conversations. Positive vibes is all that counts. Cheers 🍻
I love how they have the stores up in the mountains and the people are so friendly and happy too.
you arrived at baranggay sudlon 2 .. those people talk to you i know them..❤
My dear girlfriend and i are moving to cebu the 17th of november cause she will start working as a nurse there and i am so excited to go do province exploring! You doing these kind of things does give me more confidence to do the same. Thank you!

Hi Tom, nice video playing pool with the locals exception of the guy dressed in fatigues, while you were talking with the ladies. Take care and stay safe.
the phrase " better to practice than to produce" haha you are awesome Tom
By the time Tom wants to produce, it might go kaput😅😅😅
You really need to make more of these travel videos. It’s nice to see the people and the scenes. Always watching from Panama City Florida, USA. 🇺🇸
Nice mate more videos like this please
I use to do the same thing in Cambodia 🇰🇭 love it
Reminds me a bit of the Cordillera Region. Sweet vlog again!
Hi Tom, I’m glad that you embrace the culture of the Filipinos. Always be safe. Regards to dai Meljean 🤗
Liking the longer Vlogs, and keep them coming
I'm new to your channel but I have enjoyed this video. I hope to see more from you soon.
Beautiful view Tom......
A nice day out with the provincial locals. 👍

You forget about Malaysian we speak English too and second most visited in SE Asia after Thailand 🎉because we spoke English and Arabic

I’ve seen plenty of travel videos and I think the Philippines is one of the safest countries, outside of Manila.
Philippines very safe , you have to avoid the foreigners
@@ChrisTaylor-wn4ps For real. Most kidnapping cases of foreigners here are also done by their fellow foreigners.
Seems fine to me. Nice people. Try the hood in America if you want to see a dangerous and sketchy place. I've ended up in the hood quite a bit and it was always unplanned. One time was a party and gang members were there. They had guns everywhere and lots of drugs and alcohol. I ended up getting along with them well due to my outgoing personality at the time.

Nice one Bro. Keep it up! 😁
Hi Tom, great video. The locals are friendly, nice playing pool with the guys. Wow! Your a good pool player.
May God Bless & protect you always.
From Chicago USA
Practice makes perfect .
My american boyfriend and I watch you and mj’s vlogs all the time!!! He loves your vlogs!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Another great blog Tom, you always get along with the local Filipinos.
This is a beautiful vlog. Seems you're in a good mood to vlog.👍👍
I've been looking for videos like this for sometime ... glad I finally found this one. good stuff 👍👍
Great content Tom 👍
damn, I'd wear a helmet, I risk it riding a bike where I am that has bike lanes, but for years I haven't risked it, have never really fallen except when mountain bike riding
Good job tom! You becoming a Filipino by with locals! More vlogs like this one! 👍👍👍 enjoy 💕💕💕
Like 510 👍

Cool Tom, it's what I'd like to do, ride around the province.
Sure you had a great time.
Keep up the great work, 🍻 cheers 🍻
Good video, your a very brave young man. The people were indeed very friendly.
"Food spots but it's like they're cooking in their house". " Maritess the ladies " 😃👍 Relaxing provincial life.
It’s good to see you again, bro!
Red Horse is life!!! 🍺
Tom you should go to Angeles at the walking street.

Great video mate . Keep it coming 😊
nice video again I miss your videos
Great video, nice to see a vlogger show the other parts of Philippines which is great. I've been three times there already and have seen areas like in your video and love it. Can't wait go back to Cebu in January ✈️👍

You can find the turo-turo it stands a side road small restaurant.that ppl can afford the good food specialty like you as travelers
Brilliant idea and video.
Wow, you just went to my hometown. Proud of my mountain place , Sudlon 2 Cebu Philippines ♥️, thank you for visiting at my place Roaming Homan
Very nice blog

Thanks for ur good videos
nice to see an irish man visiting the philippines, to be honest, we got something in common when it comes to humor, i know coz ive been here in irelan for the last 5yrs
Great video as usual Tom. I like it when you go out and mingle with the people. Is it legal to drink and drive in the philippines? Just curious.
Everything is legal until someone has an accident. You should probably learn Filipino driving before introducing the local substances.
That jumpshot was a foul. You scratch and thouch the white with the side of the cue. That is what people in bars do, but to jump correctly you need a jump cue and hit the white with the leather only.
Great life.
you should know how to use google map or waze which is important if you are lost . stay safety and be vigelant with your sorrounding. bless you
That makes me want to visit.
