[@mikamauger]

You're hyping the Philippines for me ! I'm going there in less than 2 months. I'm really looking forward to it. Thanks for sharing, love your energy guys

[@Joelfriend]

Ayy that's awesome, you should look forward to it, it is amazing!!

[@fkoff7649]

Thanks for the consideration. Please note though that rainy season starts in June to November, but no worries bec. even though it's a rainy season already at that time, you'd still get a lot of sunshine in between. So just check your weatherman or some weather forecast to make sure everything goes to plan. Take care, Enjoy! ^^

[@mikamauger]

@@fkoff7649 thank you for the information ! Yeah I already knew that but well, I'll make the most out of it. Rain won't stop me aha

[@kakampiangkakampink6148]

I highly recommend for you to visit my hometown Pagsanjan, in the province of Laguna, about a good 4 or so hour drive from Manila. The grand Pagsanjan Falls is a must-see and you will enjoy the local banca/boat ride paddled by seasoned boatmen. Enjoy tour trip by passing old Spanish towns along the way. A 'must visit' this is. IT'S MORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES!

[@mikamauger]

@@kakampiangkakampink6148 duly noted. Thanks a lot for the advice bro

[@t-ctrialcard3055]

Safety first: avoid standing near the coconut tree. Stay safe and enjoy my beloved birthland palawan.🥰🥰🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

[@kitty4k9]

Finally! After all those months of non-stop travelling, you have reached your destination - a place where you can actually say: I am so relax. An island is always free from noises of traffic jams, crowds, work-stress, rush-hours, etc.

[@BonanzaRoad]

You have discovered paradise on earth… The two of you are great together… I was in the Philippines once but didn’t have time to explore. I am definitely going to have to plan a return visit and check out all the wonderful places you have shown us. Many thanks! Keep up the great work! Have fun and be safe…

[@Joelfriend]

Aw thanks Jeff, really appreciate it! Oh wow you’ll have to return at some point we both love it here!

[@BonanzaRoad]

@@Joelfriend I’d love to join you guys on the group tour in a couple months but don’t think I can because of my work 🙁 Maybe another time. The itinerary sounds awesome and the price is right. Would be fun to get to know you guys in person…

[@nilomanalo]

When you see a coconut fell from a tree, it means the coconut is old. Old coconut has sour-ish juice and the meat is tough. Usually, locals grind the meat and put it as toppings on different delicacies or extract coconut milk from it.

[@phil-amvlogsi8359]

Since I am watching outside of the Philippines, I never get sick and tired of watching videos of foreign bloggers about the Philippines and so I can't promise that I will follow you in other countries. I then start to watch and support new foreign bloggers who enter the Philippines. i surely will watch you though if ever you return to the Philippines.

[@aedankelly]

Holy shit dude wtf! Haven’t checked in on ur channel for a little bit cuz I’ve been busy but congrats on the consistent high views!! All the work you’re putting in is paying off ;) keep it up 🤙

[@Joelfriend]

Ayy thanks a lot man, appreciate your support 🤙🏼

[@ronavs1990]

Be careful with falling coconuts guys. It can be fatal if it hits your head.

[@ididitfinallythankyou]

Wow...this is a wonderful island experience. So enjoyable to watch. Thank you for sharing. Big like here my friend👍👍👍

[@aaronreicher5596]

I visited while the huts were still under construction in 2019, I Love Darocotan island! absolute blissful paradise, the pigs have changed since then I see lol.

[@stormer6364]

Great place but Be Careful 10s of people get killed by falling coconuts each year.. .. Thanks for sharing

[@cathyq903]

That's an old coconut already that's why the meat is hard already but the water is so sweet.

[@aljondelacruz9048]

I'm a Filipino but I haven't been to Palawan yet, I hope I can go, djan, just enjoy your trip❤️

[@breeliam6775]

wow, your channel’s growing so fast and the views each of your videos is overwhelming... this is one of the great attitude of Filipinos, we are known to be hospitable to foreigners. Keep it up ang please enjoy our 7,000 plus islands. Mabuhay!

[@yramnatogada449]

Good morning too😀😀😀😀👍👍👍👍

[@kevwanders]

[@chainovytv1862]

Guys you found a so amazing beach and the cutest bahay kubo it so beautiful I wish I go the place in the future. Enjoy exploring in my country take care and God bless 🙏

[@susmaryusep1497]

Wow nice place..it..seem less people go there.that ideal place for me..its really an adventure

[@generosetepait8619]

That place is just pure paradise! It's my first time seeing this place.

[@maritesdegula7232]

the coconut that you found,is a mature coconut which is good in cooking or making coconut oil that's why it is tough.so when you want ut soft find young coconut.

[@rosaliefie7630]

nice to be home again; my country is indeed beautiful; thank you guys

[@bisayakaayo8595]

the cocnut you ate was older , the younger coconut is much more delicious and the water much more refreshing!!!

[@rish9359]

Your location is really stunning❤ I love your accommodation You should drink the coconut that has still green color (not the brownish because that's already kinda old coconut)😊

[@zenthumb]

That place looks deserted. For awhile it looks you two were the only people there. That place is great to retreat. 😊

[@lovtwotravel]

Great location but make sure you tell your followers about the Nik Nik’s the tiny little sand flies that bite you everywhere you need to be 100% covered up afternoons and evenings

[@bedjrocks5550]

What an amazing view it's like paradise ❤️

[@angeljean888]

PHILIPPINES IS REALLY PARADISE..

[@elpidioreal9917]

When they tried the coconut i was like nooo. if it fell of the tree, it means it's a bit old so the taste is much different hahaha love the enrgy of you two! enjoy the rest of your stay hereee. It looks like you own the whole place tho.

Hi your girlfriend is beautiful and she looks so fun! And you look fun! Don’t stand underneath coconut trees. Many people actually die from coconuts dropping on their heads specially if it is windy. Have fun! You could spend a life time there and always discover something amazing.

[@charmsmanz6204]

There's really something about your vlogs that make me feel so happy.. :-)

[@utotmo8453]

Philippines is paradise

[@lnc8186]

Isla is the tagalog word for island and pronounced EES-LUH. Pls be careful of falling coconuts and the one you opened is not the kind you eat because it’s old and only used for extracting coconut milk. The green coconut is the kind you eat.

[@ahdcme]

i never thought having like that in ph. it's like having your island🥰🥰

[@-Vinny_boy-]

adobo is my fav philippino food

[@susmaryusep1497]

Try visit guimaras island. Mango festival 3rd week of may..sweetest mango in earth.

[@pinkvelvet3865]

That's an old coconut cause the husk are already dark & the meat is hard. The young coconut is green & the meat is soft to eat.

[@evelitaolegario3922]

The old coco meat is the your process for coco oil, while a young coconut meat (husk is still green) is what we call “buko or butong in visayan”

[@jayveemasamayor5868]

the coconut u had is already lubi 😆✌🏻

[@armunro]

Fireflys mean the environment is really clean and pristine.

I think you need to experience the Tao expedition island hopping

[@yramnatogada449]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👊🙏

[@dennielamir6737]

get the young coconut and they taste so good

[@pongpong123able4]

That coconut is already a mature fruit, or say, it has ripened already. If you want the fresher coconut fruit, the ones with softer pulp, you have to climb up the tree and look for the younger fruits

[@lunar-e.6620]

When back in Manila try to visit at SM-Aura Mall, in BGC.... there you can fine a Jollibee branch with ROBOT Staffs. Robots would do serve the food order by the customers. Experience the modern Robotic technology of the Philippines, how it does.

[@anaroseflores7339]

Hi I really like your vlog, beautiful place. We have a plan to stay in that island. Can I ask how's your food there? Is there a restaurant near there? I hope you can answer my questions, thanks in advance

[@timberhead2069]

is-la The coconut is already a niyog(mature coconut). It has hard meat. Buko is the the young coconut. Sweet juice and soft meat.
