FILIPINA POLICE HELPS ME - I Crashed a Philippines Event! (BecomingFilipino Apayao)

A FILIPINA POLICE OFFICER HAPPENED TO BE IN THE GYM WHEN I SUDDENLY FOUND MYSELF CRASHING A FOUNDATION DAY IN KABUGAO APAYAO!
I wanted to drive up across the Apayao mountain road during the day this time, so I started out early. This land locked Province sits right along a massive river, and takes you up from Cagayan Valley into a unique mountainous environment. I had been here before in 2019, but never took the time to visit the Municipality of Kabugao. And on this morning... I didn't just visit it! I ended up crashing their 109th Foundation Day!!
Talk about surreal timing!
Luckily as I walked into the gym where a cultural show was happening, a Filipina police officer helped me out. I was able to better understand what was going on, and have an awesome time with the local community!
Apayao rules!! Kabugao is such positive vibes... this is "part 1" of my crashing a foundation day in Apayao!
Thank you Filipina and Filipino police!!!
POWER ON!

Hi Kulas, I have a message for you on your Instagram

[@digitalsuperman]

its so refreshing to see tribes being on the spotlight. they need exposure so people are made aware of their culture.

[@fernandoesteban2345]

Truly outstanding documentary Kyle. Not a lot of Filipinos have ever been that far into the mountains of Northern Luzon. Thank you!

Such a wonderful part of the Philippines

[@Noreen_Reynoso]

It’s interesting how the tribal clothes of the Mountain provinces are similar to the Muslims of Mindanao. - When it comes to music instruments, the gongs in this video are more simple than the elaborate ones in the south. I enjoyed your beautiful videos of Northern Philippines that were filmed about 3-4 years ago. I’m already enjoying this trip as well. Power on!! 👊🏼👊🏼

[@aaliaalotaibi340]

@@Noreen_Reynoso pareho ngayon ko lng din napansin dahil nabanggit mo kahit sa sayaw similar din pero mas hanga ako sa kanila kasi masisipag tlga yung kung saan yung kabuhayan eh sa kanila lang tlga. Sa amin kasi may tribi na hnd ganon ka sipag tapis ang ginagawa nila paraakaahon sa hirap o makakain ng masagana eh ipagkasundo yung mga anak nila ja ikasal kahit minor pa taposalalaki yung lupain nila kahit nasa bindok parang balakid sa kanila yun na mahirap eh transport mga product ikanga kung ayaw maraming dahilan pero kung gusto may paraan. Hnd nmn lahat ganon karamihan masipag nmn, mindanao sobrang daming tribo iba pa yung sa parti ng cotabato down to Maguindanao.

[@bizzwhacz9248]

Kyle,greetings from Ohio, you have a natural positive interaction with people, do keep this up, you have been an awesome inspiration. Salamat kaayo ug amping perme sa imo.

[@thestevecbr]

I love the Cordillera region. specially Mountain Province, Kalinga and Ifugao. I suggest pass by Bontoc, Mountain Province and go to the Museum there to get a history of the Igorot, the indgenous people of the Cordillera. a trip to Sagada also in Mountain Province and last but probably the best (for me), is to see Batad (amphiheater style rice terraces) and Banaue rice terraces in Ifugao. when you have passed by the places I have mentioned, get a ride from Bontoc, Mountain Province to Baguio via the Halsema Highway. you will see the Cordillera Mountain Range. the view is spectacular! (reminds me of the Swiss Alps…) and tell the driver to stop when you pass by the “highest elevated highway of the Philippines” in Atok, Benguet and take photos!

[@deys888kaye]

Thank you Kulas for featuring these people and their culture. Pretty special episode. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@juanofturin9763]

Really inspiring when u had ur haircut again w/ Manong Piping… Truly , very heart warming… I am hoping that u will see again in this trip the Tatang whom u gifted w/ ur Canadian shirt when u strolled around the rice terraces. I can still remember u had coffee & some biscuits w/ him when he invited u to his home & u actually bought those biscuits frm the local store there…& he was very apologetic cuz he doesn’t have any in the house at that moment… Very nice vlog… Hats off to what ur doin ! GODBless ! More power ! Always watching frm Turin Ciao !

[@rickyph5320]

It's super cool. Thank you for sharing with us the beautiful places in our country, especially in the part of Apayao that we rarely see.

[@denzyrfernandez7700]

Welcome great Kyle to my beautiful region - The Cordillera. It's good your back to renew your experience here and enjoy the scenic mountain ranges and cool weather. Enjoy your road trip, bro. Power on! 💪👍🙏

[@NickyDunn]

Good Vibes. Always positive. Thank you for sharing. Happy Thursday. Power on.

[@esveeflowers1177]

I’ve almost reached boredom of your Davao vlogs like same-o same-o but … a different scenery in Apayao is like a breath of fresh air to me. I am from Central California but was originally from Northern Luzon. Obviously, seeing the people, food and culture brings nostalgia and memories about that part of the Philippines. Am looking forward to the continuation.

[@dassiice]

It is so fantastic to see how you "fit in" every place you come to Kulas. With your great friendly attitude you get along with every one. Respect to you dude :) Hoping to have some advice from you WHEN I come to the phillipiness. Power on :)

[@franciscamanis2068]

Thank you for showing Apayao. My parents almost settled there in Apayao year 1950's but after 3 years they left so I haven't been to that place yet. I enjoyed watching and learning some of their language too. Have fun Kyle. It's rainy summer here in Canada.

[@Livingabroadalex]

Amazing video as always! I am learning so much from your videos. 🍁🥳

[@hagarragah5640]

I've actually followed the Apayao river starting from Kabugao till the downstream area at Tawit. We used a "barangay", a flat bottomed boat that can negotiate the river when the water is low. We camped at the river for three days searching for the Phil. Eagle that was reportedly seen. We saw white bellied fishing eagles, brahminy kites, serpent eagles but no PE. It was an adventure though. Back then, the road towards Kabugao (capital town of Apayao) passing by Conner from Piat was rough as they come.

[@GTX311]

Some FYIs: Taddo is the Isnag courtship dance, Talip is the war dance. Dongdong-ay is actually a song that is shared amongst all tribes of the Philippine Cordilleras so you'll find that it's not only sang by the Isnags but also other Igorot tribes like the Itnegs, Kalingas, etc. Since each tribe speaks a different language, Ilocano is used as the second and the common language of all Igorot tribes. Igorot tribes are not limited to the Cordilleras; they also exists in the neighboring provinces like Ilocos Norte and Sur, Cagayan, Aurora, Nueva Ecija, etc.

[@nurjandabar9723]

uggayam, dissodi, palaris, dewas and ul-ulul where also a native songs from Apayao.

[@J11_boohoo]

Yes Ilocano is used as a lingua franca but fyi, I am from Kabugao, and since Kabugao is very isolated, it remains very pure, meaning not many can speak ilocano, most have some knowledge, but most cannot speak it in Kabugao
