As true lovers of outdoor experiences, we were overjoyed to hear that the Philippines offers some of the best snorkeling and scuba diving sites in the entire world. Between the warm tropical waters and the abundance in marine life, we knew we had to give diving a try in the Philippines. Moalboal is a laid-back, coastal town on the island of Cebu, famous for its sardine run phenomenon, where you can see millions of sardines swimming in schools just a couple of feet from the shoreline. Join us as we experience the best of Moalboal and venture down into the underwater world of the Philippines!

In next week’s video, we get the chance to swim next to some HUGE sea creatures- any guesses what? 😁

[@cebamy]

OMG! You are in the island of Cebu where I grew up. Now that I’m living in the US, only get to visit there once in a while. I’ve never experienced scuba diving with the sardines run. But did see them while dipping upshore surrounding us. It’s just a normal sight. But seeing your video with them down below is a different experience in itself. I wish I’ll get a chance to experience that in the near future. Enjoy my country of birth and it’s people. They might not have the material things that America has but they/we are the most welcoming, friendly and warmest host ever. They/We treat our guests as family.

[@ChadandClaire]

What an absolutely special island to grow up on. 💖 You’re so right- there aren’t many material things, but what the people on the island have is so much greater. They have big hearts, delicious food, and joyful souls, and to witness that was beyond anything we could ever seek while traveling the world. Cebu and it’s people are inspiring!!! 🇵🇭 Thank you so much for watching- it’s an honor to experience your country of origin! 💕

[@bodvargregersen5161]

Loved it! It was so good to see you meet with Eric and Sarah and Sammy and Tommy, the best in the business! I am looking forward to the rest of your stay in the Philippines.

[@ChadandClaire]

Hahaha yes!!! 😁💗 We’ve talked to Eric and Sarah many times about how we LOVE that you watch both our channels! Thank you for supporting us all! 🥰 You’re the BEST, Bodvar! ✨

[@pursang0904]

Such amazing photography/videography in this video! The sardine shots are breathtaking! Great trip!

[@ChadandClaire]

You are too kind- thank you so much!!! When a place is so stunning and extraordinary, it’s easy to capture its beauty and magnificence. So glad we could share it with you! 🥰💗

[@ivenyap1604]

8:59 Nemo is just in Moalboal! 😍 Great video footages 👍

[@ChadandClaire]

Yes!!! Happy we got to see Nemo on this trip! 😁🤭 Thank you for watching! 💕

[@JessaWanders]

I did not know there was a scuba dive option! I should have done that 😳 Amazing video guys!!! If you're still in Cebu, make sure to do a street food galore at Sugbu Market 😄

[@ChadandClaire]

YES!!! We also didn’t know that was possible until we got to the dive shop! So glad they mentioned it to us. 🤿 Perhaps next time, you can try scuba diving! 😁 Thank you so much for watching and for the recommendation! 💖🥰

[@JessaWanders]

@@ChadandClaire how cool!!! I'm definitely gonna do that next time I go back, I'm planning a Humpback whale swimming in Tonga next year! I need to find 7 people to avail the private tour lol wish me luck!!!

[@carolmartin4413]

Oh gosh...the underworld seascape is beyond words..its beauty is indescribable....and the creatures living there...I need my one thousand sardines as pets! This was some serious camera work capturing the flowers, the creatures, the movements...you are now at the level of pro! Onward and upward!

[@luuk4k5en1]

Hey! Remember me? Chad or Claire, whoever it is. I am so glad you went to Jollibee. The place I asked you to go a few years ago. And if you didn't know the foods names you had, here they are: 1. *Chickenjoy* is the fried chicken which you dip in the gravy and eat it. I think it's MASARAP! (delicious in tagalog) 2. *Jolly Spaghetti* is the sweet-sarap spaghetti with ham, ground meat, and hot dogs. I don't like it, but my mother and Mommy Cherie does. 3. *Burger Steak* is the beefy, saucy, langhap sarap meal. It basically is just a Salsbury steak, but the Filipino way. It's a beef burger batty with mushroom gravy on it, served with rice. Now I basically don't like that thing, bc it tatses like a Swedish meatball.

[@mrslakebrook]

❤

[@ChadandClaire]

YES!!! We FINALLY made it to Jollibee! 🥳😋 Thank you so much for writing out everything we ate- super helpful, especially for other viewers! We forgot to say it on camera but the gravy was our favorite thing about the whole meal! So tasty! 🤭 The spaghetti was definitely interesting, but for any sweet tooth, I’m sure it’s heaven hahaha 😂

[@dianallamas7135]

The thing with Pinoy spaghetti, it's exactly that....Pinoy. we never claimed that it's like Italian version. Our version came out of scarcity and ingenuity. Love that you've opted for the scuba diving. Cheers and have fun

[@ChadandClaire]

Yes, absolutely!!! Jollibee has taken spaghetti and made it beautifully theirs! 😁 There’s nothing else like it out there (that we’ve tasted, at least) hahaha. 🤭 Thank you so much for watching! 💘

[@edwingo2237]

[@jesscatangay9384]

What a great underwater scenery, Sardine run a very rare phenomenon, seen only in South Africa but seasonal, but in Moal Boal and Napaling Reef in Bohol Philippines almost everyday just the near the shore.

[@debbiegallardo9853]

Amazing scuba diving experienced. I’ve been to Cebu one time but never try scuba diving. You guys rock👏👏

[@ChadandClaire]

Thank you!!! 💗 It’s definitely one of our top three scuba diving experiences. 🤭 So glad we go to see the sea life while on Cebu island! 🐠🐟🤿

[@RedWhiteBlue.]

You have to squeeze that Calamansi in the Kinilaw as this elevates the flavor more.

[@ChadandClaire]

Oooh! Fantastic idea- we are DEFINITELY going to try that the next time we order kinilaw! Thanks for the tip! 😁

[@SammyandTommy]

Wow, the sardine run looked absolutely incredible!! Love the shot of you guys with Nemo, his little family, and home..so sweet 🫶 also looking forward to the next time we can have that kinilaw, yummy!

[@ChadandClaire]

It was SO great having dinner with you both- we’ve gotta do it again in another country hahaha. 😁 Let’s see if our paths cross again! 🤞 Also- we couldn’t stop laughing at Tommy’s “also eating…” comment while we were editing 😂😂😂

if you had great time in moalboal, try diving with threshershark and tiger shark in malapascua, island cebu

[@FLipSide5254]

it's like whenever you see a clown fish, it's automatically name Nemo lol.

[@kosanmr2]

Funny, based on the last video, I was wondering if you guys would try Jollibee cos it’s in the States as well. And u did! Hahaha

[@ChadandClaire]

What?! We honestly did NOT know that Jollibee was in the States! I just Googled it, and it looks like most of them are in California (of course haha) and in other large cities. None are close to where we live, but now I’m determined to try Jollibee again in the US, just to compare! 😁😁😁

[@odemarkluidelacruz4259]

Jollibee have breakfast meals that's the better option rather than having spaghetti coz for most western pallette Jollibee spaghetti was made differently than the usual western taste preference. You forgot to snorkel and swim with the turtles on that area.

[@emmans05]

Its not meatloaf, it was burger steak patty with mushroom sauce.
