BBC Travel Show - Siargao - Surviving the storm

[@orlandonecesito4904]

Thank you BBC for featuring one of our country's nature wonders. Big help to our tourism industry. We are grateful.

[@glitterstar4210]

what i luv about the Philippines is that it is soo underrated but then its good so its not overly populated with tourist and that the islands are somehow kept pristine, Siargao is on my bucketlist

[@dabudgetarianwanderwoman]

Very true!!! Especially El Nido... when I was there few days ago I am so happy that it is not super busy and lots of tourist, there are still tourist but not overly crowded which is good since everyone can enjoy the island and its beauty.... :)

[@dalisayhd1980]

Thank you for visiting and featuring us in BBC travel show.

[@danilolabrador2595]

Even us local filipinos were amazed how beautiful our country is, not only Siargao but each of every unique islands has to offer.. 🇵🇭

Maganda kaso maraming crime nga lang. Kasi tayu hindi safe sa bansa natin

[@pinoy1970]

Kahit Saan Bansa may crime, Tayong mga tourist kailangan din maging responsible.

@@pinoy1970 agree. Pero mas malala ngayun kumpara sa time ni President Dueterte. Yun lang napapansin ko.

[@wahtusy3519]

Talaga ba? Compare sa mga kapitbahay nating asian cities gaya ng Singapore, Bangkok at Kuala Lumpur, napaka baho at napakadumi ng Maynila. Yang palawan, siargao etc. masisira din mga yan kalaunan sa kababuyan at kamangmangan ng mga pilipino sa pangangalaga ng kalikasan. Asa ka pa dyan

[@keurikeuri7851]

Siargao was also affected by the Magnitude 7 earthquake a few days ago and possibly still feeling the aftershocks there. I hope everyone there is alright.

[@edzeljereza8234]

Your fellow Brits, KZbin vloggers 8 Miles From Home (husband, wife and daughter)went through that horrible experience (typhoon) but they persevered like true Filipino resilience and never left the island. They fell in love with the island and still reside there as of now.

The question still uncertain, when will the Philippines prevent the use of sunscreen with toxic chemicals.

[@jojojojo-bt6sd]

until western brands and imports are banned

[@krisandres2011]

When they become cheaper for consumers?

[@cheetabis]

Philippines is so rich of natural resources termed as third-world country. She doesn't deserve such term. 💖🇵🇭

[@Sanee-n1l]

Unfortunately it is truly a third world country or a less demeaning name, a developing country. Developed countries for your info have very good garbage collection system, water system functions well, no tricycles all over the place, traffic lights are everywhere. Most houses and buildings have aircon if it is summer and heater if winter time. No traffic in developed countries, roads and highways are clear because there are police officers that make sure traffic will not be caused by people. Sidewalks are well defined, paved and smooth for pedestrians in developed countries. The Philippines is truly beautiful when it comes to nature. I went to visit Moalboal and Oslob, Cebu, Philippines recently, those 2 places are incredible for me. More beautiful and memorable than Bali. Bali was developed so many years already and so the government and private sectors had planted flowers and beautiful trees to beautify Bali while Oslob and Moalboal are truly nature, however the Philippine local and national government had not developed both places for convenience of tourists. Garbage and litters were seen everywhere close to the tourist spots. The roads and side walks leading to the tourist spots were not paved well smoothly and definitively for tourist's convenience. The local government was only after collecting fees but were not beautifying the surrounding places close to the tourist spots, very disappointing. Tourists will not spend big money to go see trash so hoping the local government of Oslob and Moalboal will remember it. There are thousands of places on earth to see so the local government should improve those places all the time. It is the source of their income and their people.

[@verlindaallen3335]

This was 2 years ago . " 8 miles from home" another KZbin Channel has a well documented video of typhoon Oddette 2 years ago. Very un nerving.

[@seaweedhero1707]

2:50 "Little over a year." And yet, uploaded 7 days ago, exactly TWO years after Super Typhoon Odette / Super Typhoon Rai. When was this show broadcast? And why is Philippines the only country that gives a Second Name to every Typhoon? It's wild!

[@vareseources]

Because most of the names are in Chinese where in fact, China is not getting hit. The names are also in alphabetical order so we know what number the typhoon is. Odette, for example, is the 15th typhoon of the year, hence it starts with the letter O.

[@seaweedhero1707]

@@vareseources Interesting. So, is it only a China Vs. Philippines thing, or any other country do this, too?

[@vareseources]

@@seaweedhero1707 I don't know about typhoon naming in neighboring countries but Filipinos don't like Chinese names as they ar hard to pronounce and sound the same, especially people's names.

[@krisandres2011]

The PH typhoon naming system is unique to us since we get so many typhoons. The first letter of the name signifies what order the typhoon enters the PH Area of Responsibility. The first typhoon’s name would begin with A, then B, and so on.

[@krisandres2011]

Sheer-gaw. Is that what British pronounce the island in question?

[@derbdep]

She's Australian. Can tell from the accent. But noticed she's generally not too adept at pronouncing non-English words and place names in general. Not all Australians would pronounce things the way she would. In standard UK English, it would be pronounced as "See-ar-gao" or "shar-gao" when spoken at speed: not too different from Philippine pronunciation.

[@bayareatanders]

In the Philippines some priest have fathered children and the catholic church and the legal system does not do anything about it.

[@elpidioreal9917]

What are their names and the names of their bishops. Are you a deceiver?

[@marierocher4422]

The PH is a newly developing country not a full developing country. Lots of islands need rehabs. Tourists should not adventure in underdeveloped areas with negative comments. Even developed countries have bad areas. Remember it’s still partly underdeveloped country. Just stay in good cleaned beaches unless they want to adventure in places not ready for tourism.

[@Princeofgryphondell]

Eh, Philippines isn’t all that…

[@uniquecorn4995]

bbc should cover the PH govt next. much more interesting 😂😂😂

[@eduardochavacano]

calling it the next Bali is ridiculous. Unless they mean it will be over developed to accomodate vloggers who will flock to the island. Soon, it will have more vloggers than surfers. It is a very beautiful island. But it is not half the charm of Kuta, Sanur, Seminyak or Ubud. Bali is studded with glorious temples and iconic Balinese architecture and landscapes. This had a few things that are best Demolished. It is a nice island. But it needs to know what not to rebuild the next time Mother Nature decides to be a cleaning lady.
