Paddy epic music when you are on top of Mindanao Island 🙌😎👍. I had that adrenaline rush when I was on top of Cebu in 2014 haha. 😅😂🙌😎👍

Great music video ..cool voice 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@morganlaperal7161]

Very few bloggers would literally climb mountains for their viewership. My hats off to you. The lengths you would go to please your audience. I never thought much of this channel initially but I have found a much deeper respect for you. More power and loads of subscribers. In case I haven't said it already, but I just love love love your channel.

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Thanks a ton

[@globalismoblackman]

​@@PaddyDoyle. Respect man I respect your grit and tenacity climbing to the top of Mindanao Island 🙌😊. I am a lazy beach ⛱️ dude when ever I am in the Philippines lol 😅.

[@MomshieYien]

Agree!

[@Mutiny960]

Mmmmm...sorry. I come from a different world of Appalachian Trail thru-hikers. 10k happens before lunch. Not trying to downplay what the guy did. If it was tough for him then it's TOUGH. No one can take that away from him. But atributting some overall untruth to what he did. is not fair to those who do it everyday.

[@eagledon]

Philippines is so diverse, high mountains, incredible beaches and lagoons and grat people❤

[@symph2000]

And magnificent waterfalls!

"Everyone just goes at their own pace and there's just a thousand different ways to the top but when I lose the sight of the person in front of me I can't see the person behind me and I start to think, am I going the right way?" -it hits hard about how life works. I hope I make it to the top! It's true that it is not about the top, it's about the journey.

[@FeelKoreaTV]

필리핀은 아름다운 나라입니다. I have been to Philippines more than 10 times. But not enough.

[@CandiStar]

I use to be a very athletic and fit person. Then life got rough, got injured, and now out of shape. I love hiking and seeing the beauty of nature but, my back/knees have taken a toll on me. Thanks for sharing this and I’m a new subscriber.

[@sasvaruk]

that is how sacred Mt. APo is for us people in Mindanao! I live in davao and climb it 6 or more.... climbing mt APO is a journey to the self... that's all i can say about it.

[@infinote1260]

I also climbed, 52 philippines mountains to date. I love seeing vloger climbing mpuntain. Just subscribed.

[@jrldtlld]

I'm gonna cry, thank you for showing the world the beauty of Mindanao! ♥

[@rogerlecuyer6951]

I have been following you for 2 years thrilled with your adventures and all of the special places you have been privileged to enjoy. You have inspired this almost 70 year old to travel more and experience new places. Can't thank you enough . I get strength from your zest to do more thank you.

[@cristinavera88]

Love this series. Doesn't feel rushed. Your taking your time exploring and love that its not all in a budget. That your taking guide tours just like any foreigner would do so it gives us hope on going. Thanks for all your hard work and safe travels.

[@Cawaveride]

You said thank you to us in the forrest but, Thank you for providing amazing content that not only is entertaining, but informative. You videos have a personality and truth to them. I can feel your feelings while watching them. It is your personal touch that puts the icing on the cake. I could go on about how I enjoy your videos, but it is just more of a thank you for working so hard.

[@PaddyDoyle.]

ah thanks mate!

[@jon888umali]

This is awesome!!! I've always wanted to climb that mountain. Thanks for taking me (and your viewers) to Mt. Apo!! I truly appreciate the sights, sounds and experiences you've shared! Keep it up and more power!!!

[@markclayton626]

Lovely video Paddy, thank you kindly for making and sharing, love to you and all in the Philippines 🇵🇭 from 🇬🇧

[@LostUndertheSky]

Stunning, this is a side of the Philippines most travelers don’t visit. Had no idea how beautiful that place is. Thanks for sharing

[@TheShepRad]

Thanks for quality content Paddy. My fiancée and I discovered your channel 2 days ago, and we've been literally binging it the entire weekend. Finally no-nonsense, no instagram bimbo channel that makes you fall in love with the travels. We're planning to visit Vietnam in October. Going to study your e-book, and make our plans. You've got yourself subs for life! Looking forward to the next episode! You're going to reach a million subs soon enough! Good luck! Radek & Pati from Dublin

[@johngagne986]

This is one for the Book Paddy! What a trek this was mate. Thanks so much for taking me along. Time for you to bu a good pair of ankle boots my friend. Timberland or similar! Might as well add one more Brand to the list right?

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Glad you enjoyed it and YES I will have to get myself a proper footwear for Nepal

[@erikwithak8460]

Thank you, Paddy. At 11:08 you perfectly describe me. Love seeing these beautiful places alongside you, and what goes into traveling there. A million thanks!

[@JJthelonelybullinasia]

Thank you for coming here to the Philippines to give your viewers a glimpse of life here that they may not have known before. I've been coming to the Philippines for 8 years and live here now. I'm humbled everyday by the simplicity of the people and how happy they always are.

[@Erzoneee]

The nature background noise is just something you need to hear in your life. The serenity and inner peace that you would be able to get is surreal.

I am Thai and have been Liverpool supporter for 45 years already. Anyway, congratulations in advance on Newcastle United success this season. I am sure they will finish top 4 this season. Enjoy your adventure.

[@stefanlouw6395]

LOVED this episode Paddy! So great to see you doing these mountain adventures on foot. I am an avid hiker myself and I know exactly what you meant when you said: "Paddy, never forget this feeling of being in the Mossy Forest"

[@YugenLife]

Hey Paddy!! We climbed Apo on the same day! But we did the climb in 2 days, came back down the next day. I remember seeing your team at the last town before jumpoff, having breakfast! Didn't realise you were having a not-so-good morning then... Happy that your stomach situation cleared up before the climb! You're right, the climb was brutal T__T I really enjoyed your video because you focused on the flora ... When you were filming your singing at one of the peaks, I didn't really know why you were singing... But now that I've seen this final video edit, I laughed a bit louder than I intended! LOL!! You're funny and I'm glad YOU MADE IT TO THE TOP~~!!! :D It's always nice to see other hikers' perspectives and their own experiences. :D

[@PaddyDoyle.]

Ah that’s awesome 😎 yeah singing randomly must have looked weird haha

[@miguelbalisi9952]

I've only climbed Mount Malibayo in Batangas province and it was quite an experience with the community that lives in the mountain. They live the simplest but good life. I know how going up the mountain was it's not for the frail. Showing us the beauty of the place and you had to endure what it takes deserves our subscription. Filipinos aren't fond of mountain climbing so we won't see the beauty of Mount Apo personally.

[@randomrachael420]

10:58 Thank YOU Paddy for capturing all these great moments and sharing them for us to enjoy!

[@christianeno3879]

What a nice experience and so inspiring, Paddy! Thank you for taking us along. And what a FUN song!

[@martmarten5341]

Thanks for sharing your soul on this way, specially in this mossy forest. Thanks for remembering those who can't be there for what reason ever. It's so good to experience that you are aware of the real deep reason why travel vlogs should be made 👍

[@donaldcroom1483]

in broadway musical theatre, one major objective of writing a song is not to create a top selling hit, but simply to move the storyline along. you’ve done just that masterfully here.

[@enelepa9046]

WOW ! JUST WOW, THE VIEW IS INSANELY BEAUTIFUL! HEAVEN ON EARTH !

[@NPRNTVChannel]

Your video to the peak of Mt. Apo is so amazing. I watched it from start to end. I grew up in Mindanao but never got a chance to climb Mt. Apo when I was young. I’m 70 years old now and living in California. I could not experience in person the beauty and splendor of Mt. Apo. I watched it in full with a teary eyes. You’re so lucky having done it while young and enjoyed it. Be safe and good luck young man in your next endeavor.

[@michellebeskin-clark5263]

Wow wow wow thank you for such an inspiring journey. Love the singing and the words from your heart. Some of us will never have that experience xxxx

10/10 One of your best videos yet. So happy you are doing more and more adventurous content!

[@syncrest-chantalks]

I was literally holding my breath on your videos and I was very teary eyed seeing your explanation about some things, the facts were there and memorable things to see.. But yes, I imagine these things when you look back when you are old, your adventures, the life on my country, you have now a subscriber.. People really don't know sometimes how this adventure means to other people, one of my patients was only 23 years old when he got lame and he wanted to see real tortoises, and the feel of the forest, damn I nearly cried because he was so young but never felt the things that we take for granted.. I am quite amazed how you do time for your edits.. Amazing content my brother... Hats off on your endevours, I can't imagine the memories you will tell your future generations... I believe thats why we are here for. To experience life and live, that's why I'm doing some of my vlogs too, you inspire me to pick my things, and go.. Thank you, people like you inspire me..

[@rmd743]

Raw nature that very few people have been to. Takes dedication and love for nature for someone explore Mount Apo. Thanks Paddy👍. A great glimpse of what we protect for generations to cone. 🇬🇧🫶🇵🇭👍.

[@arlenelittlestory9740]

The most beautiful, personal, kind of emotional vid of Mt. Apo so far. I am from Davao but never been to that amazing place. I would never experience any of that coz of old age, thanks for taking me with your journey through this wonderful vid.

[@guernseygirl6608]

I loved the video Paddy. I love how you blend facts, experiences and personal feeling to all of your content. I love the singing too...Best vlogger in my whole library. 😍

[@jedreston]

Happy to share the trail and the trek with you Paddy. Too bad you weren’t able to join us on the last night at Lake Venado during the “tagay” session.

[@phineasp.quimby3162]

From 7:45 -11:11, I got a bit emotional as you were describing what a wonderful feeling being in such a remote yet mysterious and mystical place. I grew up admiring Mt Apo growing up in Davao. I always wondered as a child how would it feel to be at its peak. My family traveled to some towns near it but never quite of the volcano's vicinity. I now live in the US - 25 years to be exact and this is the FIRST TIME I see someone take a video of this magnificent wonder and I just want to say "THANK YOU!"🙏

[@herchickenlegs4]

Paddy you are so brave. I used to looked at that Mt Apo in far distance when we still lived in Davao and when I was little now I'm living in UK. Thank you so much for sharing this. Hands down to you Paddy Mt Apo is so beautiful. Not very many bloggers was able to climbed that Mt Apo I only know Finn Snow and Kyle kulas. (Becoming Filipino)

[@Chrusttee]

The way you describe your feelings about the forest on the way up to the summit is exactly how I felt the first time I witnessed the limestone cliffs all around El Nido (tour A&C). Looking forward to seeing your experiences there.

[@DaWoife]

Thx Paddy for this video. I am one of those you will can’t go there. Very good exposure at the sunrise. Your videos always getting better and better. Thank you for inspiring me to be brave to go my own way and try something new out and leave my comfort zone.

As a person with disability, amputee here, watching vloggers, like Paddy Doyle, do this kind of stuff really makes me happy, even though I will never have the opportunity to physically experience this, seeing this experience through their lens, feels like I have a taste or glimpse on what it is like to experience this first hand. Thank you for this Doyle

Wow Paddy i loved the video the setting in th forest was epic it looks like the movie avatar that was so nice thanks for sharing 🥰👍🙏

[@zenyjensen2545]

[@melitacarnell9036]

Yeyyy...you did it, thanks for visiting Mt Apo I know it must have been one of the hardest thing you've done in your young life so far .... I was born in Davao but been living in US... Maybe one day when I go back there I might try ....but overall thanks for featuring My Apo....Bukidnon area 8s also a beautiful area to 3xplore it's majestic natures ....

Oh and by the way thx for all your previous videos that have helped us on our current 2 month trip around Thailand, We are half way in and having a ball. The singing thou hmmm?

[@TheDacsleek]

I would love to climb Mt. Apo one last time. My last climb was on 2006 on the same trail you have trekked. Thank you for bringing back a piece of memory. Congrats!

[@joelgallegos5691]

I was there last year and I can feel you that it was an exhausting journey but it was worth the climb. Salute to you!

[@renochui]

Thank you, Paddy ..Too old to do this but it brings old memories and I was young.

[@how2what4]

Agreed, I prefer the mountains over the beaches. I've been living in Manila for about a year and craving to view English KZbinrs hiking the mountains in this country. This is exactly the type of content I've been looking for. I hope you hike more mountains here, you've gained me as a subscriber.

[@Nessyk01]

Love the song ! Who wouldn’t sing after that climb !🤩

[@chicotimevlogs7523]

Wow!! you made it to the top, and i love the way you sing out there ...take care always and have fun here in the Philippines..

[@lawrencecalleja7659]

I love it, this video! A thought came through my mind watching, perhaps answering a question I had. I have seen many vlogs/blogs from foreigners touring the Philippines, and of course they show the same places. I just realized while watching this video that although I see the same places shown in the videos, it never gets tiring. In fact it makes me miss my home country more and more. Each video I have seen are unique/different in the way they are presented by foreign vloggers/bloggers. You are doing an awesome job with putting together your content, story telling and music. Can’t wait to see your next video. Thank you and hello from L.A. California.

[@marialu2722]

I’ve trekked in the Patagonia, Machu Pichu , the Yosemite etc when I was much younger, in my head I can still do all this but in reality my knees are telling me I’m almost 60 and definitely too challenging now. Thank you, although I’m only watching your experiences, I can still imagine how it feels and it always brings me back. I also love your back on the road song in Cebu as your happy place, because I’ve always told people that I’m at my happiest when I’m on the road. I love watching your vlogs. More power to you 🤗

[@maricarflores6890]

Thanks!
