EMERGENCY FISHPOND REPAIRS (What To Do Now?)

[@jaredgalvin]

Not a regular viewer, but in the past I've witnessed your tribulations trying to keep that pond afloat, up to the point of hanging your neck. You've come a long way since then, and now travelling that Cateel road without a heavy burden on your chest proves you've overcome the harshest challenges in your Philippine life. Life goes on indeed.

[@BudotsTV]

Kulas helped him a lot. I can still remember when he used to live in the very small tiny house near the fishpond and I think it's the first time that Kulas meet Kumander Daot. But that was a very long time ago. The important is the present where both of them are ow living happily as a successful vloggers in this country.

[@aranjuezdavao]

Kumander D, please don’t lose hope. You inspire so many people. I completely understand your feelings about a place like Maglahus-while it’s a picturesque place to visit, making a life there is a different story. Your fishpond, which you’ve aptly described as “a labor of many headaches,” reflects your incredible tenacity and determination. Through your efforts, you not only sustain yourself but also provide for those who work alongside you and their families. Keep going; your hard work is making a difference!

[@Jonathan-je9uh]

I remember back in the day when you had all the emotional turmoils with the lake and fish, and a scramble to get them all out in time, you sure have grown since then mate, well done..

[@adrianayremedia3233]

You have the right mindset, not to let it rot.

[@noddrey]

You can open a kind of floating resto/cafe, where your customer can do fishing and pay for it per weight. You can raise mud crubs, prawn, and tilapia

[@hoolianapo7655]

You're doing great. You've gone a long way. Slowly, maybe, but surely you are moving forward!!! 👍👏 Indeed, you are an inspiration!

[@trentdiaz8197]

*_Good to see you all fine at the fishpond! Time heals. Apart from selling, you can lease it too._* 😎😎👍👍

[@Moto_G_Tee]

Hahaha! Kalamansi King of Agusan! Right on! My two fave content creator! Some guys here is right kumander, don't sell it. Property appraises in time. You can lease it out, or slowly improve it. Just choose the right people to be with you. Ayos!

[@Lolsure666]

DO NOT SELL IT. That place looks heavenly.

[@jackastor8357]

Potential eco tourism

[@RealLifesJourneyBecomingPinoy]

Not long until we are finally in the Philippines, hope to meet with you Kumander Daot my friend...

[@wilfredojr.cainglet-hj6ys]

I am an avid viewer of your vlogs because contents are relevant & brings in something new in every episode. Gogogo lang kumander you enjoyed lots of viewing support from my fellowmen. I've had a year-long stay in Cardiff & Swansea & they are pretty nice places in UK.

[@Mahaplag1]

I'm glad and salute you Kumander keeping the Fishpond...as you said you will not abandon the "Labor of Headache" yup live the life of slow motion...enjoy the journey of life even the steps you are taking is emotionaly or physically painful...life to live is a prevelige...enjoy all the areas of life because it is a One Time Offer to pursue the potential of what you are.

[@maribelrex2319]

[@marjolizaful]

That's a fun vlog😂 You always have that sense of humor Kumander D😊 Wishing you & your family a great year ahead ❤🇨🇦🙏

[@KumanderDaot]

Hoping for a great 2025 for all of us!

[@henrydgeyser1869]

Kudos to you, KD, for the words of wisdom (or words to live by) you've shared here with us.

[@johnwilsonlee1086]

idyllic, that's the word of the day. 😁 cheers KD!

[@KrisBaybay]

you inspired me a lot for being optimistic and courage . ty

[@christopherturco197]

Kulas and others have been making you eat bangus so much lately that you thought the tuna was bangus. lol It's amazing to see how much healing you've done over the past 2 or 3 years! Being able to drive the Compostela Road without anxiety and being able to cross the water to your fishpond house are great examples of this.💪 You've come such a long way. So happy for you, Kumander!😄🤙

[@seaweedhero1707]

Hempcrete! Bamboo! Good luck to you!

[@soldierboyUSA20]

You're turning Filipino Kumander; resilience is sticking itself on you Bro. I'm Fil-Am who also oens a farm in Bataan on my wife's insistance I'm not a farmer, but like you, I learned. Many times we want to give up due to many challenges we faced, including bad actors we hired. But over a few years, we finally have a staff who cares.❤ Hand in there KD.🙏😄

[@FeliTongson]

Anselm you are a great man, an amazing vlogger, and followers who like your style of storytelling and you are loved💕💕💕💕💕❤️

[@Nosyaj6053]

its time to focus your time on family and at the same time your farm and fish pond for recreation...travel adventures can wait...have a rest kumander😊✌️

[@victoriacavero829]

God bless you and continue what your doing throu the guidance of our Almighty 🙏

[@raenikuletz2673]

Good memories. They say life is what we make out of it. And no matter what happens life goes on. I hope you won't let go of that place and maybe somehow someday you will find something good to do with it.

[@corazondelosreyes3949]

I enjoy your videos showing that part of Davao! Thanks for sharing your journey, your interaction with the people, your eating the local foods! More power to you KD! ❤❤❤

[@TowManDave00]

Good for you Kumander!... You are stronger today than you were in 2019... All the best to you in 2025!!!

[@ynrv1969]

Wish you all the best kumander ( best of luck for Red Tilapia venture (fish 🐟 fond ) )

[@BarrioRunner]

KD, it is hard to deal with mother nature in the Philippines. Wet and dry seasons with storms just make it difficult to deal with. It's best you keep the house and ponds for the future. Keep smiling and laughing as you go. John

[@JamesAlonsabe-x1n]

Your fishpond is really nice, KD. I think it has some good potential considering that Cateel is growing and developing and is a beautiful place. Suggest better to make the riprap more permanent by using rocks or boulders to rebuild the structure where the nipa house is located. But the investment will be significant. However, the value of the property will be enhanced.

[@maudave]

To overcome hardships of your past, extraordinary accomplishments you have achieved in the Philippines. Your story is inspirational in so many ways. Thanks for sharing hard moments, it gives hope and encouragement to never give up. Great video Take care

[@Dannaxx]

God Bless you always Kumander D!

[@merlitopilapil4477]

Never surrender KD, maybe this time your fishpond will be successful. Just hire a good and trusted caretaker.

[@iSUPREMO666]

Always amping kumander! salamat for another happy vlog

[@TheThailightZone]

Wow I remember years ago when you previously did a lot of work to shore up the mud walls, replace the thatch, fixed the gates between ponds.

[@EudsMorales-qx1is]

fish pond is a realygood..busenes..it depends on your..management..

[@mondschamita6123]

[@jonieservidad4664]

[@esperanzagilpo2714]

Ecosystem project KD-study and also co lab with local experts and share your outcomes with your viewers serially 👀🤓🤔 Perseverance pays off❤

[@KeepingupwiththeJoneses1999]

I laughed so hard regarding your pasalubong comment. Lol. I visited Mike and Mama Rose last November and met Kulas and Kumar. My only regret was not meeting you. You are a big influence, and I hope we get the chance to meet. Hopefully after moving to the Philippines in 2025 I can complete the Philippines loop within 12-18 months. I have so many questions, but I hope I can ask in person. Best wishes

[@KumanderDaot]

All the best and hope your move is successful 🙂

[@JonasAbendan]

No kumandor daot if not of the fishpond. Keep it KD!

[@SAUDIBOY99]

Amping po kumander

[@usebiodiesel]

Loved this video. I like the variety of shots. Your very good at capturing the feel and the spirit of the Area. I'm Curious how do the locals think and feel about the fish ponds? Could it be a top place of employment for the locals where young couples could raise families on the income? Would you reach out to the Filipina pea for a collaboration?

[@ageselram60]

Nice place Kuya.💖💖👍

[@johnsylvestersanchez574]

Good morning kumander d

[@BoholanaChimixVlog]

Fullwatching gyud sir KD balik Cebu Nako sir. Hopefully next year mkapag pa picture napud ko that time with sir Kulas too(Your senior citizen subscriber & Longtime follower from Laak )

[@trinarussell4599]

Kumander, what if you use concrete cement instead of wood? In the long run it might be cheaper than wood.

[@80pinoyboy]

I would use shoreline rocks and build your boundaries with that,that’s how Hawaiians use to make fish ponds

[@duckylangley]

They have the same kind of exercise park in Tagum

[@Huazelei2374]

Long leb!! KD!! 🫡🤙

[@teresitaacampadovlog8379]

Watching ❤❤❤

[@dioscoroguanzonjr247]

Kumander daot pwed ba dyan ung catfish or mudfish, halo ata ang tubig dyan tabang ang salt water.

[@fortuneybiernas5778]

My father was sales head of Solignum for Jardine Davies Inc in the 90s. He also handled Thoroseal.

[@KumanderDaot]

It's an awesome product!

[@stream2watch]

Eastern Davao Oriental is tough to make money in. Many hours away from the markets. The only advantage is cheap labour. Any agricultural business there needs to be run with a total control over expenditure and income. As a westerner, it feels like it is easier to make 10x as much just doing online stuff. If I ever do agricultural stuff there again, it will probably be greenhouses near a major urban city.

[@OnielGalarpe]

The place has potential but for now its a liability. If you can sell it for the same value then its good or if you can sell it with abit more then that would be alot better. On a business standpoint, it will cost you more money for maintenance and repairs with nothing in return. It is what it is Komander.

[@freedom341]

im glad u blog again fishpond. why not sell it , its not generating income , do unhave plan it to revive someday?

[@tinaraphael9783]

Good evening. Good people😅

[@farrahandkarlvlog]

That's your life before. That's why i noticed you there in fispond.how hard work before really working hard.

[@EudsMorales-qx1is]

lots of people succes on this buseness

[@ciro1953]

Please don't sell the pond rent it out for a week or day and put some tilapia and have tourist stay and they can catch their food and have it cook there

[@sandraanania8777]

Kumander where is that new falls you swam?

[@KumanderDaot]

Part of San Antonio going to Algeria. Near the highway

[@rosapangan3194]

Hi Komander. kmusta na. Am sorry to see your fishpond like that. Almost no soil under your nipa hut.

[@dindoguiyab9002]

KD,choose you construction materials,do not use nipa or Materials that decay through time,use G.I. sheets,so that u dont have to change it often.

[@itecfarm7533]

Make it a resort with restaurant then access thru river and from the place of kulas to you existing fish pond

[@manontondalan9941]

amsel i love your adventure but honestly it's very hard to find honest people .. i have so much loses in suppose to be business in that country but i guess i help them but it didn't help me but loses...on the other it's was experienced that did matter... yes enjoy while you can.

[@iForgoT0002]

you can make your Fish Pond to a tourist Spot Kumander, like Bohol River Cruise or similar I can generate Work to the People in that Barangay and Cateel

[@JONATHANGEVEROLA-o2v]

How is it goin are you a british who live in my region im here in the uk but i have land in the boundery between Davao de oro and Davao oriental.

[@jaredgarban3952]

Kumander daut! That red t-shirt is very nice, can I have it?

[@Vhfcjh]

Have you try to fill it with kangkong plant, to make a profit on the land? I don't know if it gonna work, just asking.

[@KumanderDaot]

This is a good idea 🙂

[@Eclectic.Nostalgia]

6:45 - spartan training when you come back home 😂

[@rodolfomora-r5l]

You better let Kumar find person to manage your fishpond kumander

[@jb4688]

Wow I’m surprised I thought you just abandoned the ponds long ago and left it to the people who were working it. I think your calamansi venture will work out better for you!

[@KumanderDaot]

There hasn't been fish in the ponds since 2020 - but I've kept up the maintenance to some extent just so it won't totally fall apart!

[@socorrocarcasona4567]

We learn alot from our experience. And that’s the best thing we can do to our past. Let’s keep moving and growing.

[@LumieSoucek-r2t]

Plant some Mangroves around that house to hold the dirt.

[@KumanderDaot]

I planted some a few times... None of them survived!

[@LynTu-ks8ed]

@@KumanderDaot maybe it depends on the species. How about talisay tree. The coconuts are thriving though. More of that I guess. Just take care if the roof when the trees got taller.

[@KumanderDaot]

@LynTu-ks8ed yes, the species are very localised! Because there are mangroves growing here naturally, but every time I replant, they don't grow. Talisay also grows, I think there are a few 🙂

[@qatmoon]

If i move to cateel to retire kumander sell it to me, please 🙏 message back.

Why make it as a natural fishpond, just let the local tilapia thrives and multiply. Fish occasionally as a recreation.
