Coron Island Vlog: Filipinos Saved Foreigner with Chicken Adobo and Rice| Price Shock in Cozy Island

[@lornacabang5368]

yan ang nakakainis sa mga driver na yan masyadong mapagsamantala sa mga foreigner, tamang singil lang mapalocal or tourist.. BE FAIR, BE HONEST, BE TOURIST FRIENDLY... Dyan kayo nabubuhay, yan ang hanapbuhay nyo dapat.. TAPAT!!...

[@JABM-AU]

That's because local government does nothing to punish them.

[@DianaFCampano]

Mga walanghiya sa mga tourists

[@bethserran]

Dapat 50 pesos lang iyon the most. That is so wrong, when they take advantage of the tourists. They give they Filipino a bad reputation for not being honest. But, it happens every town that are flooded with tourists. It happens in Bangkok, Thailand too when my husband and I lived there for 3 years because of his job. It's not only the Filipinos but any tourists spot in the world, except Japan that I know. The Thai people are worst. Sila pa ang galit pag nabuko mo sila.

[@antonioapostol4739]

Yan mga Pilipinong mapag samantala hanggang ngayon di pa rin nagbabago. Magpasalamat kayo may mga tourist na nagbibigay ng hanap buhay sa inyo. Pag di pa kayo magbago at masira ang lugar nyo gutom aabutin nyo. Calling the LGU... gawan nyo ng solusyon ang bagay na yan...

Bargaining/haggling is normal here in the Philippines , whenever they charge you a high price, one of the technique i learn is go the a local store first buy something and you ask the local how much is the standard fare.

I notice many foreigners visit coron i think that place is gorgeous with many attractive scenery that's why the foreigners are attracted to go there if my impression were negative maybe it would depend on people after they experience the province of coron

For me till now is it most unfavorite place where I ever been in PH 🫣🫣

Nice! 👍 U already know how to deal the minimum rate! For transportation.. and make TAWAD!.. 👌

[@MsJelena]

😅😅 that wasn't my goal I just was truly surprised by this price . And before paid 200 pesos for entrance in coron. What probably was the most expensive environmental fee. I just was happy that I'm alone not with kids 😅 or I couldn't pay that

[@erlindasalvacion7344]

Thank you jelena for sharing your videos so much enjoyed your journey in coron in Palawan islands. I hope more explore more islands in the Philippines. See you on your next videos and please take care of your self and safe. GOD guide and bless you always with your family's. 🙏💝🙏💙🙏💓🙏💜🙏💗🙏💚🙏💛🙏💖🙏.

You can not snorkel in lake with life jacket. That’s ridiculous !!!❤❤❤

[@MsJelena]

Yeah kinda hard 😅

[@bethserran]

This time of the year even though it's summer, but starting June until October, it is rainy season. It is just you have a bad luck going to Coron, but it's voted #1 place to go for beautiful beaches. When we went to Coron in 2016, life jacket was not needed to swim in that lake. As the guy told you, someone drown in the middle of the lake. You should visit the twin lagoon too while you are in Coron. It's so beautiful!! Jelena, you should reach out to a German girl who moved to the Philippines with her husband and her kids permanently. She has a KZbin channel. Her name is Bella. She lives in Mindanao. Her husband is half Filipino and German too. You are more fluent in English than her. Jelena, we stayed at Two Seasons Resort when we went to Coron and found no problem. You have the whole beach island to yourself, but any great resort will cost you. You are staying in the city of Coron, not in the resort island of Coron. Another great resort is the Discovery Resort too.

[@MsJelena]

Bella is back to Germany already...

[@VanessaSedaya]

You look very relaxed and chilly after all those overprices and no beach 😅

Most tricycle driver there in coron take advantage when you are a foreigner , just negotiate the price if he don’t go down the price look other tricycle.

I just need to eat if I want hiking or do any physical exercise 😅

[@noonenoticed9381]

Hi Jelena, I know you're sorry about the driver getting sanctioned by the local government of Coron. If I were in your situation, I would feel the same. But please don't take it too much. The driver was at fault, it was very clear that he was trying to overcharge you by 50 pesos. It's not the first time that a vlogger exposed the problem of drivers overcharging passengers. What you did to vlog your experience was just part of being a vlogger, and you know what, it is actually a blessing in disguise. You are bringing a good change, and being an inspiration for the Philippines. Thank you for helping our country become better. You actually contributed to an improvement among those tricycle drivers so they will be transparent and truthful from now on. You helped future passengers to not get victimized by the overcharging scheme. The driver may be kind, but he still tried to overcharge you. That's a lesson learned not only for him but also for other service providers. Dont worry too much about the fine and 2-week suspension. The penalty will not last forever, it's only a punishment for 2 weeks and some loss, but life always moves on. And there's a good reason why it happened. The video was actually a blessing in disguise. The driver becomes a better public service provider, and other drivers will be more disciplined next time. I thank you for being real. For contributing to the country's betterment. This is not just our country, you treat our country as your own, with love and care. Thank you and please continue vlogging! You inspire many Filipinos to appreciate our very own. You bring us to places we have never went to. And we see the beauty in diversity. Thank you and continue to be part of the Philippines. Mabuhay! Love, love, love. 💕🙏🇵🇭🇱🇻🇩🇪

[@MsJelena]

Very very sad situation for me.. especially because guy had 3 kids.. I'm searching now money to pay for him this punishment and a little bit more...

[@noonenoticed9381]

​​@@MsJelenathat's so very kind of you. As a compassionate human being myself, I totally understand how you feel and would probably do the same. The driver will surely appreciate that. But don't be too apologetic. Don't take it on you. You tried to save the driver by pleading with the Coron LGU. Now, it's up with the Coron LGU if they will listen as they deemed the driver guilty of attempting to overcharge a passenger. But I wish they can be more humane, and be considerate to forgive the driver as per your appeal.

[@MsJelena]

@noonenoticed9381 they told me I should think better next time what to post online and what is done is done. 🤦‍♀️

[@noonenoticed9381]

@@MsJelena it was never your fault. I watched the video, and just like your other vlogs, it was real experience and fun to watch. Some people are just trying to put the blame on you, to make you feel guilty. But don't take it seriously, everything will be fine. Some are just marites, esp online where content creators get bashings for simple things, we get misunderstood regardless of our intentions, and it's not the worst yet. Just ignore them. We cannot please everyone. But reading the comments on Facebook, I am glad that 99% of Filipinos love and support you and encourage you, cheer you up. You cannot get discouraged by the 1% haters who have less understanding, do you? 🤣 I wish you the best and enjoy your life here in the Philippines. I was actually amazed by how much you easily adapt to our country. 😂 You are amazing. Your energy brings positive vibes and I don't know, vlogging is not easy but you are one of the few who we find authentic, positive, bright. You are all in one. And we find you unique because you look like a total foreigner, innocent, and yet, your energy is like very local and not easy to deceive. You are wise and smart. You adapt really well, and we find that really interesting.

Yan ang sakit ng Pilipino, mapag samantala. Pag nakakita ng foreigner, i jack up nya ang,presyo. Masama ito dahil kapareho lang natin mga dayuhan, gusto rin magtipid para kasya budget nila. Kaya ikaw Pilipino, charge ka lang ng tama para lalo dumami turista sa atin at diyan tayo nabubuhay sa pagpunta nila dito sa atin. Huwag swapang, ayaw ng Diyos yan.

Jelena, You should have set your expectations before making the trip to Palawan. Haha. You should have researched and read first, or should have had watched other vlogs for Palawan. Come to think as well why even us common Filipinos are not able to make it to the likes of Palawan and Baracay. Well, the mere fact is that prices and expenses are very high and expensive. We call the prices there as 'tourist's price'. Even us local are being charged a high price and expenses there. We call those people who are able to afford a vacation in those places as 'well offs' and 'wealthy'. So, it best to always check first so you won't be surprised and shocked. Hahaha. Then your expectation and agenda can be managed and handled well. For me, I like Palawan. I just don't like the expenses and tge prices there, period. Just saying. Sorry. Peace. 👍😂✌

[@MsJelena]

I never do a lot of researches before 😅😅😅 I heard that it is expensive but i didn't expected that so much. Especially ferry El nido- coron 2800 pesos was schock for me 😳
