Basilan - You Won't See This On The News In The Philippines (MUST WATCH!)

[@csiman5459]

I stayed in Basilan at a bad time. I was there as part of a special action forces battalion sent to fight extremist rebels. As I was sent there to fight I could not help also but to admire the beauty of the place, the beaches are so pristine and crisp white, the people are friendly, and the best seafood I have ever had anywhere in the Philippines. Too bad it has such a bad rap with all thats going on around that place. You are a brave, brave man to go there Kulas... and oh by the way, that Jollibee in Isabela is such a big surprise for me because one of the hardest battles that I have fought in happened in that place. Kudos to you Kulas! Suroy pa more! ❤😊

[@BecomingFilipino]

Thanks for sharing this... I hope that this place continues to get better and seeing the locals first hand now... I believe it can :)

Hi Kulas. I am from Isabela, Basilan and this video makes me so proud that I am from Basilan. This is amazing cause we've been receiving so much negative news from the media and we need videos like this for people to see how beautiful Basilan is. I've experienced the same thing your friend did when I was working in Cebu and now I can show my friends there this video. Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks for this Craig. Yes, I wish I could just say: If you are a foreign National... Go Go go! :).... But unfortunately you can't at this time to Basilan as there are still areas of concern.

My heartfelt thanks for this video Kyle. It brought back my sweetest life experience and it happened in Basilan. Years ago, I attended a friend's wedding in Zamboanga City. Unbeknownst to me, a student of mine from Basilan waited patiently outside the hotel where the reception was held. As I came out from the reception, he surprised me by holding tight my arm and short of pleading asked me if I would like a short visit to his place in Basilan. He assured me that I will be safe. I tried to hide my worries about safety but I believed in him, so we went. I have no idea what his place looks like. He is a Tausog and I found out that his village is on a reef; with houses on the stilts interconnected with narrow wooden planks with most stretches without hand railings to balance. I had the impression that everybody in the village knew of my arrival as many people look out of their windows and watched me trying to manage those narrow bridges. I felt so humiliated watching an old lady (probably in her '80s) walking on a plank nearby as if she was on dry land. I shared a simple lunch in their simple hut and pleasant chat about their daily life. They treated me like royalty and with so much respect that I felt I was welcomed in a palace. It was too late to go back the same day to Zamboanga City. My student booked me for the night in a hotel not too far from the village. Again, I was assured for my safety. A relative of his (who has a high rank in the "rebel" group will be in the next room as my personal guard). I don't even have to register in the front desk for everything was already arranged. I sincerely stated that I wanted to meet his relative but he wished that I rather not see him for his safety. I took some pictures around the village before I said my goodbye. I am now an American citizen but when times get rough and to ease myself, I just daydream that wonderful experience. I still remember it like it happened yesterday.

[@julglenjed5931]

Wow kulas! I have been following and watching your videos since day 1 of your journey and honestly this trip from Basilan is definitely my favorite! Coz you know,We know only a few about Basilan and some of it negative as our local news only covers about the fighting,bombing and the bandits..i could'nt even remember someone as brave enough to stay there and cover the whole island,that just sends a chill on my spine after reading your caption that you're actually in "Basilan". I was like wow Basilan? Really? Actually part of me envy how lucky you are to explore parts of our land that most of us locals from the other island would'nt even dare to try. Basilan maintain its prestine features because it has not been commercialized. Our thanks to you Kulas for taking as to where our mind restricted us to go. May God bless you and keep you and your group safe as you continue to explore the Philippines! Mabuhay!

[@MayumiP2288]

I've been to Basilan twice and I remember the first time we went to Malamawi Island. We took the habal-habal route to White Beach. To be honest, at first I was feeling quite nervous because we were told at that time there were still isolated kidnappings of local people in the place but I was praying in my heart for a safe journey. The feeling I got when we passed by the outskirts of Malamawi was indescribable. The view of the beach was amazing. The clouds and the sky was so beautiful it hurts! I have fond memories of Basilan and Zamboanga. I can't wait to go back there in the future.

[@mrpuh777]

Hey, dude! You're awesome. I'm Filipino but I live somewhere in southeasia. I commend you for showing us the beauty of Basilan. I wouldn't even step on that island. I guess, even us Filipinos have this misconception about Basilan. Thanks for the enlightenment. Be safe!

[@mrpuh777]

By the way, that Jollibee tho..haha!

[@evangelinacruz5546]

Makes me wonder Kulas why most of our kababayan from these provinces not only from Basilan but other beautiful provinces migrate here in Manila where it's so crowded, crime infested and they end up hungry, homeless and most of the times victimized. There is not a lot of opportunity in Metromanila specially if you have no education most of them end up being maid, underpaid and physically and mentally abused. Maybe you can shed light to this people when t b ey see your example. Thank you for all you are doing, also promoting tourism to the Philippines, God Bless you, be safe.

[@sherimagnedagooc1117]

I grew up in Isabela City but I was born and now staying in Zamboanga. We really need this kind of publicity because honestly, Basilan has not undergone a lot of improvements in the past years, maybe because no one wants to invest due to the negative news. We thank you so much, Kulas for believing that this province could still be visited and that it is not like what they see or hear in the media. Apir kaayo! ☺

[@jerichobalbuena]

Kulas,i very much appreciate how you show to others a glimpse of Southern Mindanao. It is but inspiring to see that there is beauty amidst issues surrounding the area. Truth be told that only a percent of the population in the area are bad elements, same as with all other areas in the Philippines. As a Filipino myself, I have been wondering to what is in the South most of our archipelago. And it makes me want to go there with what you have shown here. With a little shot of faith and love, I think that peace will lighten up the situation in the area and be more open to tourists in the near future. Kudos to you Kulas and your team!! God bless.

I was moved by this video. I am originally from Balingasag, Misamis Oriental (born and bred), and have never been to Western Mindanao (farthest I've been was Dipolog and Dapitan) because of all the 'bad things' I hear on the media about this side of of the region. Funny how one person who happens to have a non-(typical)Pinoy skin (but clearly have a big Pinoy heart) would be the one enlightening a misinformed local like me. Thanks Kulas for showing us the other side of Mindanao. We, the people of Mindanao, will forever be grateful to you. Amping sa mga byahe, ug sa kanunay, daghang salamat! Apir :)

[@jessneonbayud]

[@normp4914]

When I was in Manila, my friends there said “don’t go to Mindanao, it’s not safe” When I was in Zamboanga, my friends there said “don’t go back to Manila, it’s not safe” I always felt safe everywhere in the Philippines.

[@silverbackalphamale4132]

That just changed my whole perspective of Basilan. The place just got so much potential when it comes to tourism. I still have so much hope that the place be freed from conflicts and bad elements of the nation so every Filipino can visit and enjoy every bit of the Island. I guess Basilan is shouting "No to Terrorism. YES to TOURISM!"

[@maribelteklado7491]

Was teary-eyed watching this. You are the connection. Someday I hope to see this beautiful place. My aunt was married to a man from Basilan.

[@spyware3113]

Your desire to show and share to the rest of the Philippines Basilan and it's conditions is unwavering and admirable for peace - loving Filipinos. Thank you for investing to go to Basilan and showing us its people and culture. If only the government can finally destroy, to the last member, the Abu Sayaf Group, can Basilan start receiving tourists and see its beauty once again. Keep well and safe wherever you go on your travels. Mabuhay ka, bai!!! 😊

Thank you Kulas for showing my birthplace, Basilan and I've never visited it since we moved out of the Island in 1962..( to Zamboanga , Sibugay),but I've got a very good, exciting and happy memories during my childhood in that place.

Wow! Thanks Kulas for sharing this. This is so cool. Enjoy & keep safe always. Filipino-Japanese here in Tokyo. I’m your avid fan.

[@fernandoferdinand4866]

That was a beautiful video Mr. Jennermann, thank you for sharing that. I'm a Filipino Canadian and would like to connect more with my beautiful heritage and your videos are helping me do that but as my mother has urged me to go to the Philippines so I can learn more my language and to embrace my culture. It is truly amazing. Thank you again, must watch your other videos! :D

[@jsizzl3101]

Thanks for this video definitely brought a lot of memories back. Born and raised in Isabela City, Basilan but currently in Detroit, MI. Spent a lot of my younger days swimming and eating delicious seafood at Malamawi Island.

[@preciousbrowneyes]

Ganahan kaayo ko Kyle. So inviting Basilan. The locals are so lucky to have that kind of place and a virgin island. Thank you for sharing. Bless you more and take care always. Cheers!
