Dipping into Philippines’ World Famous Beach Boracay 🇵🇭

[@malditongamercano3630]

Sweet Bro!

[@normaacey3513]

I like listening to Mergim speaking Tagalog. He is fun to watch, always smiling.

[@maricar75]

can't imagine what Boracay looks like in the 50's & 60's must be real paradise

[@rexcapades7489]

20+ mins of Mergim vlog a day keeps me happy all day. It is the first thing i watched while having breakfast.

[@rosebrown2267]

Those green algae will turn into white sand after two weeks but duting summer they are visible. Best time to go there is in september until february because the beach is free from green algae.

[@Armis71]

If you want to see the maximum beauty and turquoise water of Boracay, go in the morning, because the angle of the Sun just hits the water at a perfect angle.

[@jetbisayaadventures1437]

Water is so clear but your vlogs are clearer and clearer as always because you always update us everywhere.

[@jayneh2006]

What a crystal clear colored water bro!!! Spectacular!😮

[@manbibar4299]

🇵🇭💖Just Enjoy Mergim. That is what Boracay is for!!!👍🤟

[@onlynice9567]

I swam with that "green stuff" last year Mergim and I don't mind. They say those are responsible for keeping the white sand in its powdery texture.

[@revelinagarcia2539]

The green stuff is seaweed. It is seasonal. It is supposed to be responsible for keeping the sand white and very fine. In the 1980's I traveled there the shoreline was lined with coconut trees and very very few houses. What a huge change . I am from Aklan. Been living in Canada for over 30 years. We will be there in August. Thanks for showing us the places.

[@absfinal]

seaweed is delicious

[@mattserle6624]

The leading cause of the algae problem in Boracay is the excess nutrients in the water. This is due to the area’s lack of proper waste management and sewage treatment practices. Sewage and other forms of waste are discharged directly into the sea, increasing nitrogen and phosphorus levels. This provides an ideal environment for algae to thrive. Nothing to do with keeping the sand white 😅

[@jonathanwaddington]

@@mattserle6624 sewage isnt discharged directly into the sea

[@mattserle6624]

@@jonathanwaddington but other forms of pollutants are

[@jonathanwaddington]

@@mattserle6624 but if sewage isn't why comment it is? The green alage has been happening for decades way before tourist started going, tourism may have made it worse but it would happen either way

[@marilousumo226]

Yes Boracay has the most beautiful powdery pinkish white sand

[@nightwing4065]

Whoa, there's a lot of people in Boracay. Beach is Life! Life's a Beach! 👍

[@perlaaguinaldo]

Hi mergim once i open my youtube im always looking for your channel bec everyday youre uploading .our stressfree enjoy your travel and take care always.👍✌️😍😄🙏🙏🙏🇵🇭

[@007thematrix007]

@ 9:40 facts 💯 crystal clear turquoise blu/green waterz 🌊 🏝 almost like glass! @ 18:31 that's f*ckin' funny 😂

[@Rcrdo072]

I remember seeing that green algae when whole boracay was shutdown due to secretly dumping of sewage into the sea by some establishments there.😮

[@jetbisayaadventures1437]

Omg ! Mergim where are you now again! That’s so beautiful ! You must be very very happy where you are!!! Lol! You are reaching more and more paradise whohoo!

[@noelfelipe8857]

HI MERGIM...FYI IT'S A NATURAL ACCURANCE THAT HAPPENS ATLEAST TWICE A YEAR...IT MAKES THE SAND WHITER AFTER IT HAPPENS...ITS MOTHER NATURES WAY OF CLEANING IT AND FOOD FOR OTHER SEA CREATURES...ENJOY...KEEP SAFE.

[@jonathanwaddington]

It only happens once a year, around feb/march to May(sometimes it happens earlier than Feb, normally when the sea temp rises)

[@ZeCabreira]

I wish you could go to Amanpulo in Palawan. It's a bit expensive, but there's no HAB (Harmful Algal Bloom) there. Perfectly clear water, and not a lot of people.

[@oxoelfoxo]

a bit?

[@Padudie]

Amanpulo is not a bit expensive. It’s TOO EXPENSIVE

[@sarahcopey]

Mergim, the main purpose of the Crystal boat for girls is for picture taking. and the kuyas are usually good photographers, they'll guide you what pose to do. haha

[@fonplain8094]

Wow Boracay beach! The World's famous beach due to its whitest and finest sand beach like talc and clear water..often voted by many international travel magazine's as "The Best Beach in the World" amazing!

[@ChristineWeber8]

Looks amazing!!

[@CrazyBeatbox]

New sub here-your vlogs are so informative. Love the way you interact with the locals!

[@maritesvlogs96]

Another wonderful video

[@U_KCuF]

Go to siargao, cameroon island, romblon and many island to explore

[@RDLACHICA]

You had a blast really. Good haggle there! Thanks for a really good.close up of the sea bed!

[@maxeldutz2433]

There is white sand beach in luzon called "Calaguas Island".

[@zicDC]

usually when the summer season hits really hot they showed up to the shores to cleanse fracking white sand

[@trishislove04]

@mergim if you are still in boracay, attend the miss universe philippines event tomorrow in aqua boracay. U just need to pay for ticket i think its 1500 pesos That would be an interesting vlog ❤

[@marilousumo226]

Other islands/ beaches has deep blue or Gatorade colored clear waters .. Boracay has green clear waters

[@papotmejica8914]

Yes mergim show us the whole island of boracay 💯👍😅😀❤️

[@lucillegil5306]

Go Mergim love this Boracay content❤️

[@francisG15]

Rent an atv or buggy and ride up to the top of the hill and have a great view of boracay and the surrounding islands

[@h2obig1]

That algae is what makes the sand white and fine

[@richvaldz3975]

Hi Merg.. you can see only clean sand areas on Station Zero..Takecare enjoy!!

[@RJ-gv4ep]

Could it be a sargassum seaweed they have a lot of that now in Cancun as well.

[@firnfejfjf944]

No skipping ads

[@jasphertampos9615]

That "Lumot" is seasonal here in Boracay especially on summer which is kinda sad because people tends to be more on summer but it is also the reason why the sand is really fine and white.

[@marydexplorer6370]

D last part of d video makes me laugh..when u smiled with that lady taking pic on d clear canoe..u know Filipinos love taking pics..😅😂 Go to El Nido or Coron ..view is breathtaking❤

[@bemcorrales5358]

Enjoy your Boracay trip, take care snd God bless 🙌

[@kirovibes]

Yay!

[@crunchynips]

You can go to the next island Caluya Antique an hour 45 minutes by boat

[@bhello99]

visit the white beach mergim around 6am.. thats the best time aside from sunset time..

[@tranquilityisland]

I think your next island tp visit is Calaguas Island in Bicol or Zambales, Northern part of Luzon.

[@panaplay1]

Mergim, Algae die and float, unfortunately this phenomena happen during summer time but enjoy your stay in Boracay love watching your blog.

[@richieliper4720]

You can go, too to station 1 where seaweeds are lesser.

[@filrubio2739]

Mergim ...I also enjoy your activities there in Boracay. ...as I watch you....Salamat....

[@mikeealtiveros137]

It’s good to snorkel there Mergim! Even near the shoreline, you can see some fish! The silver ones and those like zebra are what I usually see. Apparently they love when I rub my feet on the sand, seems like they eat something from the sand.

[@auenski1092]

Very very maganda, Boracay 🌊 Very very guapo, Mergim 😃🧏

[@xose2863]

Algae is part of the marine ecosystem. It shouldn't be seen as an eyesore that disfigures the beautiful seascape. You see algae because it's not a large swimming pool but the sea.

[@mayquestadio2759]

Wooow amazing boracay!!!

[@strawberryshortcakemitchell]

Mergim is living the life 😎🛶

[@diegogarcia-ud7ii]

I'ts actually LUMOT (loo-mot). And you're right mate, it's green algae.

[@jimcian]

Check out for Puka beach and the other side of boracay island

[@GlendaOdoy-ht5hn]

Hello mergim you're always fun to watch, always be yourself and have fun. Green algae in our province is called "lumot"

[@friedrichvonpaulus4823]

I like the moment 9:39

[@zacterrible]

Hi Mergim, what do you film with?

[@pinkvelvet3865]

Those mountains you are pointing is Panay island and not Boracay Island.

[@laniedeguzman_11]

Take care alwyz enjoy

[@richieliper4720]

Wooahh! That glass canoe rental is quite high!

[@cirques2932]

Try the land tour. Highly recommended! Just ask the kuyas there

[@abbeyrose5415]

Hahaha, the picture at the beginning 😂😂. It's proof that you enjoying the water..

[@hectorjuatco9384]

Present na talaga ang green algae. Pinakita ni Mergim vlog and he also mentioned lumot or green algae hindi sea weeds.

So crowded now, but it's part of the fun. 😊 Went there last May, Mergim. Not too crowded yet, good to know the tourism industry is booming and back to normal now.

[@pauleuc2212]

What cameras do you use Mergin?

[@BransenPass]

I believe it’s just iPhone. Sometimes you can see the camera reflection and it looks iPhone.

[@carlodurian3730]

I think it's 'lumot' (loomoht)...

[@mariamercedes3763]

Water is bluer from 10am-2pm

[@jetbisayaadventures1437]

Good thing you didn’t go that skiing selling people! I would not do that chances are they overpriced and short time! You’re getting smarter and smarter every island you visited! Be safe and have more fun.

Thats sooo cool

[@bonlavel9740]

Need the LGU to clean and contain the Lumot...dont wait the nature do the work and give a nonsense reason that make the sand soft.😂.they charging very high enviromental fee, but they allowed the Sea to be slimmy,and do nothing about it.The Tourist will be disappointed.😐

[@U_KCuF]

That lumot or green algae is nature and that algae becomes white that makes boracay sand more soft and white.. little knowledge is dangerous😂

[@richardnuevo]

Sorry to say this but this comment of yours is ignorance

[@heriosdesu]

LGU COLLECTS MANY AND MORE MONEY FROM TOURISTS and VERY LAZY TO COLLECT THE LUMOTS AND PLACE AT A DISTANCE FROM THE SHORELINE,😂😂😂

[@dispelledword7818]

Those are green alge not seaweed kid. It will turn into sea sand..try to read kiddo😂

Please visit siargao and palawan.

[@aimeerhernandez]

When the time Boracay was rehabilitated the lumot lessened, now it's back again 😢 waste water should be checked I guess

[@richardnuevo]

It's something natural so don't make an issue about it.. try to read the comments first and stop wondering why there's such phenomena

[@aimeerhernandez]

FYI: Urinating at the beach, sunscreen lotions, and outside showers contribute to the algal bloom in Boracay during the first quarter of every year. “Also, all dishwashing wastes should not be poured in the ground. Source: DENR (SHAREWORTHY: YUCKY GREEN ALGAE? SCIENTISTS SHARE TIPS TO PROTECT BORACAY’S ENVIRONMENT MARCH 21, 2022 - DECEMBER 30, 2022) Yes I know it's natural but because of the waste water it exceeded the normal limit.

[@mickiteoxon]

True algae has nothing to do with the white sand, the corals did the Boracay white sand billion of years.

[@aimeerhernandez]

@@mickiteoxon at this day and age when information is readily available I could not imagine why they believe that haha
