LOKAL Filipinos SAVING Siargao BRINGING Life BACK North

[@8milesfromhome]

I thought I'd list all the instagram profiles for the places we visited in this video to help bring some exposure to what they are doing up in North Siargao. Jungle Garden Villas instagram.com/jungle_garden_siargao/ Lokal Snackbar & Market instagram.com/lokalsiargao/ Aqwa Beach Bar instagram.com/aqwasiargao We hope you'll make the effort to go visit this charming and beautiful community on Siargao island. :-)

[@learnisnyder1069]

Nice places in the North. Tourists are back to gathering together.

[@grimreaper3576]

Siargao is really a dream place and thank you for helping local for getting good exposure 😊

[@leighandrew235]

its nice that tourism would be spread all across the island not just a particular area so that economy would gain more for locals and that the influx of tourist not just concentrated to a part of the island to avoid over crowded tourism and have a sustainable tourism.

[@bengpiloton5766]

[@fayemirabite9565]

I love your blog its so peace ful and nice area the siargao.fresh air. Happy fathers day god bless to your family enjoy philippines islands.

[@wavemaker2077]

That rooftop restaurant is surprisingly full of people! Lucky for you guys, there is no virus in the island. Once Siargao opens to the whole Philippines, wearing of face mask and social distancing has to be observed.

[@karldelacruz9208]

Local are very friendly .thank you kabayan take good care of our visitors.

[@margotdumia8543]

beautiful drone shot and the sound of the beach, so calming. your blogs has been my work from home "companion" on you tube, they make me feel calm, relaxed, and full of good vibes.

[@roldann]

Story is cuteness overload and she really feels at home in the island. Have not explored the northern part and Burgos and can’t wait for things to open up and travel gets back so we can also explore the raw beauty of the place and the localsü

[@jamlorenzana2047]

Wow! The Lokal store is amazingly cool. The local products are various. A lot of different things.

[@leticiaremo6386]

Good morning, beautiful family! My day is not complete without watching your vlog! Story have a soul for music! The way she close her eyes and feel the music is so endearing! Maybe, you can buy her a ukelele for a start, so she can learn to strum snd even sing! You are so blessed to have an angel! 😇😇😍😍

How is it possible that your "being trapped in paradise" gets better and better with every video. We are so happy for you. Just wish we were there.

[@mdiaz1780]

OMG! that marketplace was really buzzing! I had a bit of a culture shock! I got so used to the stillness and peaceful vibes of your vlogs that I couldn't wrap my head around that buzz. What a contrast! But good to be around familiar people, though! Stay safe and enjoy Siargao!

[@lanisaz211]

Wow, it's like normal life is back in Siargao. Nice to see a lot of people gathering around.

[@maisieisla6820]

Love the island vibe. 🌴🌅 Keep safe everyone! 😷😷

[@originalfightfan5464]

11:17 is so crowded thats scary.. just stay safe and keep social distancing... covid 19 still rampant..

[@rancaba6410]

Hello Guys, Pretty nice to see you on the Island of Siargao. Have more fun 👍...

[@noemiangeles481]

Amazing to see you all together and on our side of the world we're isolated from each other. Enjoy the good life and camaraderie. This lockdown changes life's priorities!

[@tybell8899]

Please please! Dont let your guard down now.. Especially when it involves your mom and Story.. This pandemic isn't at an end yet.. Every day more is learned about Covid-19. The lack of face masks being worn, social distancing, and other mitigation is why more lives will be lost.. Story is one of those cute kids that everyone cant help but wants to hug.. That cute little smile.. You must insist on masks(both) being worn if you allow her to be hugged.. Are you prepared if you, your wife, and mom become infected? I see people being too cavalier at a time when infections are on the rise worldwide.. Be safe.

[@hamogsadilim9403]

Story is so smart, adorable and sweet lil angel. Enjoy your stay!

[@christyfernandez]

Breath taking views I miss Philippines so much

[@lydiafano6707]

The first time I stumbled upon your vlog last week I just could not stop watching the vlogs. You have such wonderful small family. I am a Filipina Nanny here in NYC and I just can’t believe how amazing your guys being parents to your lovely daughter, Story. She will surely grow into not just a beautiful person but one with a huge heart to human race and nature. I hope I could go home and see you guys first quarter of next year. God bless and stay safe. Kisses to Story!!

[@alen2782]

This is the best blog ever. I don't know but i really feel relaxed while watching. More adventures for your beautiful family. Belated Happy Father's Day.

[@rajoschannel4338]

Max Gerrard Happy birthday from the Philippine Islands!

[@petronilodiaz6152]

Thank you very much guys for supporting the local business. Been watching your vlogs for some time now and has always been fun....especially Story!

[@lonelytraveller5062]

Story is so adorable. I salute the parents for raising this cute little treasure. What I like is how she manage to talk to older folks with ease. That's good parenting My only worry is that she has little kids to play and interact with her because I remember one clinical psychologist strongly advise that children must learn to interact with their peers and those who are older by 4 years old, otherwise they will grow up having a sense of resentment to their peers and a sense of constant doubt to elders and that is not good. Anyway, you have done a fabulous job for making her so adorable.

[@bellejameson7385]

So cute story and smart she,s so pretty little moana enjoy the beauty paradise in siargao guys keep it up!!! were here always following the every day journey of all you guys especially the cutie pie moana story

[@maryannmonderin2856]

Muahh Muahh on those chubby cheeks of Story, her face so bright as her beautiful smiles.. just like Mum and Dad.. g;ad to see you with Ave and Martin again but being by the beach all to your own to catch a glimpse of Siargao's stunning sunset on that side and listening to the rippling sound of the waters is so soothing for the soul. have a great time there. Be safe and Stay blessed and happy! Hello to Ave & Martin too!
