[@KumanderDaot]

@@eduardodonato5977 thank you so much! Kumander Daot... Well... It's a long story haha, Kumander came from my old staff in Cateel, and Daot was just my sense of humour 😁

All of our world is beautiful, but the Philippines seems to have a concentrated abundance of beauty, and it's people just adds to that beauty, beautifully!

Kumander Daot, yes "The Storyteller", thanks for appreciating our culture and our country....you really deserve an award for doing this...and I know that you love and enjoy every minute of it......take care and stay safe...God bless

[@delfatalaid1577]

Good documentary. Showed the bounty if this place. Thanks.

[@mertsbelmes3209]

David should start his own vlog! He's got that quirky personality that will engage us more deeply with a gem of a culture and landscape of the Tboli's. Thumbs-up if you agree to subscribe!

Kumander Daot "The Storyteller", deserves an award this year for Best Vlog Content, Cinematographer, Vlogger

[@eloisebernardo1231]

Agree ako dyan, may laman talaga ang vlogg ni Kumander D. Pinag aaralan talaga

[@bojomojo4109]

*TOTALLY AGREE!!* It is very informative too. In fact I'm learning new things from him about the places he goes. Unlike foreign vloggers in metromanila whose contents are nothing but just their repetitive daily routine which is kinda boring to watch. KD is different. Once you press the play button, you'd completely get immersed in his video.

[@blacksheep1969]

💯

[@noblewarrior1887]

@@bojomojo4109 Vlog's like this is what really makes KD stand out among vloggers in Phil. His cinematography and editing is superb plus his voice and narration is really suited for a docu type vlogs. I think if you get Kulas or Finn or your fave Bisayang Hilaw 😉😁 to vlog about this place , it would not come out as good and engaging as how KD does it. That said , i would defer to your DUMB assessment that vlogs of those vloggers in metro manila is boring (to you 😁) I think you are still young with limited knowledge and few subject of interests or maybe you are DUMB to think that people will have same limited interest like you hahaha 😉. You see, if you get KD to stay in this place for a month and do a daily vlog from there, i am sure it would become boring (even to you 😁) and not as good as these first few episodes. Those vloggers base in MM are OFTEN still churning out nice vlogs although they vlog daily. Testimony to it is , alot of followers are still watching and enjoying them (including you i think 😁) That's the advantage of doing vlogs in the Phil. There are so many subjects that you can cover. If you vlog about travel and adventures , there are 7641 islands you can explore. Along with island explorations are varied foods and cultures which can be featured as vlog subjects too. Even if you try to cover only 30% of the total islands, that would take many years of daily vlogging without running out of topic . Natural calamities and issues , which is abundant in the country, can be a vlog subject too every now and then. So in conclusion quit your Dumb thinking that MM vloggers are boring and not as good as KD. They just have different ways ..and maybe different topic during this lockdown time. And you , the Dumb with limited interest , is just you who has different likes not same to many of us hahaha😉 ✌

[@diometoca8710]

agree

[@KumanderDaot]

We are still trying to find someone who possibly knows exactly what happened at the time. These places are so mysterious and so intriguing!

[@charlietaclendo4641]

if you can gather a story and connect each details of that mysterious palace of Num Uk, it woud be one of the best too ... power ON

[@fambrown4250]

Legend has it that Nuk Um gold treasures and native scrolls are hidden deep on that cave and thousands of snakes were brought in to guard it, and reportedly no one dare to look for it and recently even foreigner adventurer kdaot bravery failed and brought shame to his thousands of viewers who are cheering for him. 😂 😝 😂

[@alexcb6725]

This is very informative content for all the tribes in the philippines that most of new gen forgotten..

[@mhikaelixamleedivinagracia5452]

The effect might be due to the fact that the plain is somehow tilted in such a degree that your brain cannot tell that it's tilted and at the same time felt the orientation of the plain. Thus, making your brain confused how to react.

[@powryllfergman7689]

Maybe a historian from the area could help you out man.

[@christopherturco197]

You have excelled in your vlogging so quickly! This series has been amazing thus far, and each one seems to be better than the last. I can't wait to see the next 2 installments!

David is the true MVP

[@barrygilbert1002]

Beautiful content, Kumander. You're now a certified Daot Historian. Watching you while having our breakfast.💪👍😂

[@KumanderDaot]

I have since found out the following from someone who was there in the 1960s: - It was a cattle ranch, the widest in Asia at the time. They raised Brahman cattle for export to Australia - The tower was for armed guards to spot cattle rustlers and thieves. - The palace was just an ordinary house on top of the cemented base - They bred racing horses there too

[@naditperme5158]

Why its abandoned?

[@edwardpabrua6474]

Ohh that is why,the owner built that sniper tower.salamat kumander D sa info.

[@filamcouplethisisourstory]

Thanks for the updated info. I got anxiety watching you go up that tower. I have altophobia or fear of heights.

[@dwcubatch83]

please keep doing more of these type of contents. Mysteries, myths, forgotten history, etc in the philippines. You’re getting better abd better at this!

[@loumartin8584]

That's awesome, Philippines really has a rich history, just look at the old houses, churches! They spell a rich culture & history 😍

I am jealous, KD nailed it. Most filipinos especially living luzon and visayas doesn't want to go as far as that place. very hard. Thank you for showing us that place. Awesome

[@ameliasagge9349]

As if i am watching national geographic.... Thank you kumander D for touring us to the beauty of our own native land..

[@tedsvlogs01]

This is the only vlog that I actively follow from the Philippines. I'm always interested to see what happens next. Anselm, I really love how you capture the culture of the places you visit. Whether at the local restaurants or by talking with different local people. It's insightful to sit down with the elders and hear what they have to say. It may sound odd, but I love how you show the different conditions of the roads. It really brings me along the journey with you and as an expat living abroad, it's something I always pay attention to and comment on. Lastly I just want to say that I believe you provide a complete picture of where you're living and I appreciate that. Thanks for taking us all along your journey!

[@KumanderDaot]

Really, really appreciate that. Thank you so much!

[@marclopez9834]

With the sovereignty issue in the West Phil Sea, our brave T'boli brothers show us on how to deal with it. This episode Kumander D is timely with the present events as it shows us that even if an envader had succeeded in occupying their land and constructed a fortress on it when they were down, still, Surrender was never an option when fighting for what is legally ours... recover it.

[@tessabela]

land territories are more specific than sea territories... and much easier to claim. this issue with WPS everybody wants to go to war against China. tsk. with this corona pandemic raging the world, and still a little house lizard wants to start a war with the sleeping dragon... that will mean the annihilation of the Filipino race, man. sometimes, we really have to choose our battles.

[@marifender4643]

Documentary at its finest❤️. Thank you Kumander D for making this video series to which most of us Filipinos are not aware of how beautiful this T'boli tribe is and how they well guarded the nature.

[@SuperPAPAsmear]

Great vlog, Kumander Daot! You got me interested to find out the history of the Nucum palace, the oppression the person who own the palace did to the people of the area and how they fought to reclaim their heritage. I could not find anything. I hope someone who knows its story share it. Thank you.

[@madamebrunhilda5105]

Very good documentary! I find the Tboli tales fascinating! I wished you’d squeezed him for more story. Oh, I believe those female dancers on the river, there is a story about their dance. I think they were mimicking a bird courtship. I maybe wrong. But it has something to do with birds. Good job Kumamder D!👍👍. If you can, and all these quarantine requirements are over, would be great if you could do a segment on the Ifugaos. Although I am sure that there are other tribes in Mindanao with just as much an interesting story.

I am happy that they got back their tribal lands in the end. Looking forward to the 3rd part if this series. You make it look fun but you are definitely putting a lot of hard work to this. Thank you. By the way, I like Indiana Daot too!🙂

[@puravelasco8653]

After you showed us the idyllic beauty of the Tiboli area, Kule Trail on your way to Lake Holon which gave you and me (us) a sense of peace, it was really weird for you and for me (us) to experience the visit to the Abandoned Palace which reminds me of the movie Schindler’s List. The Chinese landgrabber reminds me of the Nazi officer who would randomly shoots community people from his balcony. Watching you trying to understand the place, made you queezy. I’m so happy that you briefly featured a T’Boli who spoke about his community’s struggle to get back their ancestral land from the landgrabber. Thank you to David for giving you/us the chance to know about the Abandoned Palace. Yes, after a freaky experience, you need a sip of beer. Me too.
