I used to live in the refugee camp in this beautiful island Palawan from 1982-1986 before immigrated to Canada . The camp is not far from the airport and just beside the beach . I used to go swimming almost everyday . I can’t wait to come back to visit , Hopefully end of this year .
I was also in the Palawan refugee camp from 1988 to 1990. I am always grateful to the country and the people of the Philippines. I have the same beautiful memories as you and am currently living in the US
This is really Puerto Princesa. But there’s more historical sites you can visit not just the Plaza Cuartel. ☺️ Thank you for visiting Puerto Princesa as well as Palawan! ❤️
Plaza Cuartel is near the Cathedral? Then it's really not something special. But it's nice, when you got time and if you live here. But if you are on 3 day holiday and you are staying on a great hotel, might as well hang out by the pool. It is a beautiful city to live. But the city your should might as well be canceled.
One of the first travel vlogs, I’ve come across with such information on the area you’re visiting. I mean it wasn’t the plain surface information, but y’all really did some research with your destinations. From the historical/cultural to the necessity of prices. You were able to showcase the beauty and provide substantial information/guide. Earned a new subscriber here!
ontherecord Thank you and thank you for the support! Lots more to follow...😃
Thank you for visiting our beautiful hometown 😊 God Bless to the both of you!
😍
I’ve been watching your palawan vlogs and they were all very informative! I think this is what real vlogging is all about, not just taking good videos but also going an extra mile to give a little background/information about the places! Well done! I think you guys should have more subscribers. Keep it up!
🙏🏼Thanks Doch! Our main goal isn't to build up a bunch of subscribers. If people like the videos and chose to subscribe, that's awesome, but honestly we just want to put utile content out there to help others...👍🏼
Yes, I totally agree on that

I've been there last year and Palawan is an amazing place 😍 ,have much thing to do(activities)and the place is so clean, it's really fansy... and many places to discover about it's historical 😍...hope to be there again next time 😍....i love Puerto princesa 💗
Proud palaweneo here...thank you to discover my beautiful home town. Godblees❤ both of you
@abby How's the internet connection there? Is it good for those working from home?? Thank you!
I like you both no words to say only good and original compared to other bloggers couple, I suggest focussing on culture, the heritage of wonders, not only beaches but history and facts just like "Fearless & Far" one also my favorite too. Love you...
Thank you! It's good to have the variety that other people's videos include too though. It's a great way for people to express their creativity and we're fortunate that we live in a time where we can view so many videos on demand!
Many more videos to come! Hope you'll enjoy them 😃
You never failed to amaze us the way you show the beauty of the place.
I commented on your vid 2 months ago hoping I could make the trip and now I just bought my tickets going to visit Manila and Palawan end of this year. It is happening and I m ecstatic.
Thanks for your video .
Solid tips. Love your straight to the point style. Transitions are on point too!
Hope you had an amazing stay in Palawan and we're looking forward to have you back again someday!
I’m here now in Puerto Princessa, will consider checking those places.. I love “lato” specially with spicy venigar.
Thank you for showcasing Puerto Princesa, comeback comeback !
I like PP as it has a great mix of cultures and becoming more modern every year!
Thank you so much, now that give me an what to do ...plan to visit on April 2019
Nice! Give the girls at Palaweño Brewery our best 😍🍻
Wow! Thank You for showcasing our lovely City.
Fantastic video , cheers. Was there several years back and didn't hit any of these places .. next time
Great video! I love how you captured some of my City's best places to go to. Plaza Cuartel is my favorite since I was a little girl, I would always drag my parents there before or after going to church since the Cathedral is very near.
Thank you 🙏🏼Happy we could bring back some memories 😃
Thank you for the nice video you shared guys...truly puerto princesa and the entire palawan is a paradise...you can see more amazing spots in palawan..its seems to say "come back,come back"
This is my hometown..
Thank you guys for visiting palawan
Thank you for visiting our place and thanks for representing us.. All palaweños are hoping that some other tourist out there try to explore our city too. Have more fun in palawan guys enjoy.. 😉Maraming salamat😊
katejell Aspelleza need little help please reply
Woow... thanks guys for the tour... soon, i will visit that city
Just got back from Puerta Princessa and visited the sites you mentioned in your video. Happy we saw them except sad news about the four women running and operating the brewery. The original owner passed away two years ago and one other moved on to something else. Only two women are running the business and because of Covid, the business almost went under. A lot of bags of yeast were lost and now they are trying to get help from the government to get a loan. I hope they make it because the beer was good. Thanks for the rest of the information, it was helpful.
Really luv your video's. Very informative in so many ways. Many travel vloggers have just a few interests and they tend to only cover their interests. The combo of the two of your interests shows us a more varied look at what their is to do in each city you visit. The thing I find so interesting when I watch you, is that you show so many different things to do. For a example, I have never been a "museum" person, however I went to some of the places you have went to the museum's and was blown away how interesting they were, thank you so much for opening up to me something I had no interest in. You have opened up my world. Totally appreciate what you are doing!!!
MARK begley Thanks Mark! Very honored by your comment and glad we could help! Travel does tend to have that special impact whether large or small. Crazy story but we actually ran into someone that watched our videos in the most remote part of Thailand (Phu Chi Fa) 2 days ago. He said he was there because of our video! Amazing feeling to have such reach on total strangers across the world. Gives us even more motivation to push boundaries! Lots more to come over the next year...
Your ability to capture showing us your full day in a video that is the perfect length shows that talent in your editing!! Your videos are spot on timing wise. You cover the whole day from how you are getting to where you are going, the sights along the way , the refreshment stops, the meals, the places of interest. It's like seeing the location your at from sunrise to sunset!! I feel like I'm walking right beside you, I feel like I'm seeing what you are, I'm tasting the food and drinks just as you describe them. I truly believe that your passion and your love of life makes this so enjoyable and real. I live in Vermont,(US), however when I watch your video's I'm traveling the world with the two of you. So refreshing.. I could never thank you enough. Wishing you safe travels, enjoyment and happiness!!! Thanks for being you. Be Happy! Mark
Thank you thank you thank you... I am here in Palawan and your Vlogs have been the focus of my family's trip. So helpful and informative. Next part El Nido...
Hey Moe! Thank you and glad we could help 🙏🏼Enjoy El Nido and say hi to Doris for us 😃
Thank you for featuring our City. Hope you stay a little bit longer because the city has more to offer. Like beaches in Nagtabon, Talaudyong beach, iwahig penal farm (prison with wall), and many more. Hope you come back for more. The Palawan cursed, Kambak-kambak means come back come back.
Great stuff... You can also go adventurous on food by trying out crocodile sisig and the tamilok worm.
Excellent drone footage of the the magnificent bay area and the cathedral! Kudos to ur travels and ur vlog.
Daryl Pingol Thanks Daryl! More videos to come!

I have to stop one day at pp to go to el nido . Tq for your video .. ❤
Anywhere away from the heavily trampled tourist centers. Yeah I know. Good luck! Adventuring out to the less visited small islands. Places that haven’t already been featured so many times before on other channels. That being said I love your nuts and bolts how to with insider tips and recommendations with your daily expenses posted. Really cool!
Thanks Paul! Really means a lot!
the underrated place in Palawan in central palawan an but still love the island hopping esp starfish island there
Thanks! It's a quick tour and walking distance

I miss my hometown.... welcome to palawan madame and sir more blessings you both keep it up doing good...
😍
I would like to visit Palawan this year. Nice video guys!
Hi Guys, could you help me out with your experience.
I am travelling to Palawan ( just the north Coron and El Nido) and I have read reports of Malaria in Palawan?
I am not asking you guys for medical advice first and foremost🤓Just wondered if you took Anti Malarial’s for your visit to Palawan?
I remember in another video (but I’m not sure of your destination) at the end you discussed what cover you had when it came to vaccines.
Any help or reply would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Graham😃
Hi Graham! Never took malaria pills. Just got up to date on our tetanus shots and took some typhoid pills. Hope this helps!
Thanks so much for the info and speedy reply❤
thnk you so much guys for the info, we re heading there sooner and your inputs helps a lot!!
enjoy and wishing the best for both of you!!🐾
Thank you so much! Really glad we could help out! Let us know if you have any questions

😂

Awesome info, thank you! You guys have been one our absolute favorite channels since you started ..we voted for you (lots) during the cancun.com contest (we spend a lot of time in that area and you two were the best!). Anyways thanks again, your Palawn tips have really made our planning easier :-) Oh and since you asked, you guys should go to Tasmania (during Aussie summer) it is simply EPIC! Can only imagine how great your videos would be since the beauty of that place defies belief. All the best!
Thanks guys 🙏🏼 Glad to have your support with our videos and on the contest!
Happy you all are headed to the Philippines! You're going to love it! ❤️🇵🇭
We actually just had a guy from Tasmania say we should visit 😃 Would definitely love to pick a locals mind and take him up on a tour! Maybe 2019??
@@IntAffair If you have a local offering to show you around Tasmania you better hop the next flight...don't miss the trip to Bruny Island and get oysters at Get Shucked (yes that's really the name) we've eaten what they claim are the best oysters on several continents and feel comfortable stating the ones at Get Shucked are the best in the world...also awesome cheeses on Bruny...yeah we love to eat ;-)
@@KattieMetChris too tempting 🤤
This deserves a lot of views. Very nice! I'm a local from Palawan. 😊
Thank you Elaine!
You are very welcome. I become even prouder watching this. May God bless you more!!!!
Such high quality video. So professionally and with soooooooo much information. Very informative videos. I just love it. Helping me a lot as I’m planning for the Philippines tour very soon. But the bad side with me is that I can’t swim 😅. Your videos should have millions of views. I have seen all your videos on Philippines. Amazing work guys.
🙏🏼🙏🏼Glad we could help!

I love Puerto Princesa and El Nido :)
Hi, how's the internet connection in there? Is it good for those working from home? Thank you!😊
@@hotelandresorthorizon I work as a VA po but more on admin tasks. I don't really need fast internet connection 🙂 If you're downloading and uploading heavy videos, you're probably going to have a challenging time - just like anywhere else in the PH😅 Palawan is gorgeous. Would love to visit again soon.
Love you feature my town..your new friend from Palawan

Thanks God july 2019 PALAWAN IS number two..top ten most beautiful places in Asia..😘🙏
Wow Soo beautiful place and Very affordable!
Pretty sure it's spelled "Malou". LOL. You have to remember that most Filipinos have Spanish or English first names.
Same with "boodle fight", the method of serving directly on a banana leaf, which is actually Philippine English. It's pronounced as it's spelled in English (rhymes with "noodle"). Derived from a method of serving food to FIlipino and American military personnel way back when the Philippines was still an American commonwealth. It's from American military slang "boodle", meaning banned food soldiers used to secretly sneak into bases (like candy bars).
The serving method is traditional though, and is more properly known as _kamayan_ in Filipino (literally "[eaten] with [bare] hands"). The difference is that in _kamayan_ you eat individually, while in a "boodle fight", every dish is mixed together at the center and everyone in the group just shares it.
It's "Malu" --> www.palawenobrewery.com/
Thanks for the insight! 😉
