[@BenjackWander]

As General Galido Chief Philippine Army saying in his speech that Tawi Tawi is one of the best place to visit in the Philippines. Good Job Kumander D…Exploring Southern Philippines ☝️ #chiefphilippinearmy #departmentoftourism

[@christopherturco197]

What a terrific adventure this has been! Every time you go to places in Mindanao that were once deemed off limits, you surprise us with how welcoming they are, and beautiful, too. What a special place Tawi-Tawi is. Well done, Kumander Tom Jones!🤙

[@KumanderDaot]

I really loved Tawi-Tawi! Such an inspiring place! Kumander Jones signing out 😁

[@Neal_only1]

The best all time Filipino narration is done by Kumander Daot all over the Philippines and deserving also Citizenship. Well done Sir BRAVO !

[@honusblanco1259]

I wish the local government start educating locals on proper garbage disposal, institute environmental laws and employ waterway cleaners. That’ll be a great tourist attraction.

[@tracy062]

madami potential pilipinas kulang lng displina mga tao at palpak na LGU

[@d.l.c7456]

Currently visiting Sindangan Zamboanga DN, it's the same thing. Locals aren't practicing Garbage Waste Proper Disposal/Management. They lacked discipline.

[@emman2702]

Educate the locals abt garbage?u can even fish around their houses.worry and educate here in the land about garbage and clean water.wala clang alagang baboy only fishes swimming happily with them for hundred of years.marunong pa kayo sa kanila

[@jojopaps8468]

Discipline regarding proper disposal of any garbage is a big problem of this country

[@sarnaalpa2964]

​@@emman2702if you visit in future Muslim community.ubderstood there's no Pig.& don't ask them anymore. bcoz some understand some not they might be misunderstood your question ,they might get angry.

[@royallado78]

From north to south or even west to east coast... There is another common denominator to all Pinoy... Karaoke amd welcoming smile

[@junreyarsula4452]

Good afternoon watching from sitangkai tawitawi pondohan Pagadian

[@mrq8402]

Sitangkai has great tourism potential as an unusual and exotic destination in the Philippines. If only they develop more floating hotels that are of high quality.

[@emman2702]

They used to have a cinema there

[@koyfirmalino620]

As I watched your vlog. I continue to realize that guys like you kumander, together with you friends Kulas, Bret, many more foreigners vlogging here in the Philippines are truly bless to embrace our Country. Truly as Filipino, I am very grateful for accepting our culture. Stay Safe.

[@whatyourlifestyle998]

Hi all. I was amazed how you were aloud to walk around by yourself. All the stories I heard were, not so good. Now I see the peace . God bless everyone.

[@emman2702]

Ask the x'tians who lived in tawi2.don't always believed the media.

[@elamei3848]

The extremists portrayed the Muslim in a very poor way. but the truth is, they are very peaceful, hospitable, friendly, caring and loving in a genuine way. To see is to believe Thanks for sharing this video Kumander.

[@rahulmaron]

it's the media, not the muslims.

[@emman2702]

Thanks for ur kind understanding

[@elmira6672]

They are used to it..respect what they like to be. Muslim are pearl catcher they want to live over the river.

[@hakhaimo]

Blame it to media.

[@rodrigoduterte8337]

we seldom see vlogs in far away areas in the philippines like this..thanks for taking us along KD

[@simeonparafina536]

Thank you for presenting Sitangkai to the world. Even I’m a Filipino I am amazed to the beauty of Sitangkai. Nice blog, a simple way to present yourself as an ambassador to our Country.

[@Swissboyvlog]

It changes the image of Tawi-Tawi. Now the visitors will start to coming in. The department of tourism may support the place. I hope investor will come to build quality hotels.❤❤❤

[@reypocais3760]

This place is literally the water world. ❤❤

[@humminbird6990]

It is amazing how they built there houses above water.

[@Rogerla62]

Just amazing. I will be retiring to General Santos on Mindanao and look forward to exploring so many islands and beautiful and unusual places in the Philippines. I know that the history between the Philippines and the U.S. has not always been positive, but I have always believed that when you actually meet the majority of any country, they universally want to live in peace where they and their children can thrive. Thank you for showing us the good and not so good in the Philippines.

[@petebeltran6899]

Sitangkai has changed since we were there in 1978 during Martial Law to document the lives of the Sea Gypsies or the Badjao people. Sitangkai and the Sibutu group of Islets is the southernmost part of the Philippines, just stone's throw away from Sabah, Malaysia. Tha k you Kumander Daot for sharing this precious video.

[@jorgehtler]

Thank you for visiting us my lovely country and be the part of your content🇵🇭🤝🇬🇧

[@redentortiongco5686]

Maayong bungkag kumander ( a.k.a. tom jones)...what a great video and such a wonderful place..you even had a nice send off serenade..amping kumander.

[@arturoatari9814]

I, thank you for visiting Sitankay where most of my relatives were living there. Now you witnessed why tawi-tawians known as peace loving people.

[@lynsworldoflifetravels2690]

Wow. Amazing adventure... so thankful that you show what the southernmost part of the archipelago is like for us who are unable to visit it.

[@louiswynntorres]

Wow❤

[@ryanmonti4903]

Fantastic, a Welch man singing karaoke to Tom Jones (also a Welch man) . I also sing Tom Jones, but "Green, Green Grass of Home" is more my speed. Another good video neighbour! All the best to you and yours...

[@gg_Javier]

Another MASTERPIECE, Anselm/ KumanderD!! Congrats at Maraming Salamat!!❤ 🎉 🍻 The Tawi-Tawi series was an eye-opener. Colorful foot tours + awe-inspiring drone shots = HOPE & POSSIBILITIES! Some viewers commented that Investors should be welcomed asap, but in my opinion, the GOVERNMENT (federal & regional) should take on the initial steps. First & foremost, public funds should be used to improve the area's INFRASTRUCTURES -- esp those that DIRECTLY affect the people's quality of life (pathways and bridgeways, environmental systems). Secondly, collaboration btwn the govt, business sector and the community should be forged under a SLOW Growth mandate. Commercialization and Tourism do not always bring about good Progress, esp when done too soon. People's lives and culture must first be UPLIFTED and evolve. Development, if done hastily, could only bring about displacement & resentment. The locals deserve more. Their COMMON interests must be at the heart of any "Progressive" undertaking.

[@emman2702]

No need for greedy politicians n businessmen.people there are happy and hv survive for hundreds of years for the way they live.most of them living in a better condition compared to the mainlanders

[@vikterbanbik5903]

Nice content! People are nice. Beautiful places too, probably more tourists if people learn how to keep the place clean in Tawi-Tawi. Mangoes from Guimaras are the best. People are happy to see white foreigners speak their languages. Because western people don’t speak foreign languages just only English.

It's Not Unusual that Kumander D sings his fellow Welshman Tom Jones' song!😂

[@milomilo417]

Sitangkai really is VERY VERY interesting. But they should facilitate easier access. They should build an airport in the main island & build a bridge to the water settlement (which is anchored on a smaller island), much like Venice is anchored to Margera. It has very unique attractions: the incredible water city, an island with white sand, seaweed plantations, etc.

[@NeoKrypton21]

Ansel, it's embarrassingly sad to see that the river and sea there are with floating debris and garbages. 😢😢😢 Not a proud scene to brag. Thank God that the people there are of good heart and very warm as well, especially to foreigners. Nevertheless, thank you for sharing us how our area looks like there. I am from Manila and in Manila. This is my 1st time seeing that part of our country. Once again, thank you, Kumander Daot! You rock! 👍👌✌👊🙌💞
