Filipino Fishermen SHARE THEIR HARVEST! Going Home! Batag Island to Leyte

I'M BACK IN PINTUYAN!
And in this awesome town almost at the tip of Southern Leyte, it's off-season for the whale sharks - so the community of Brgy Son-ok that usually relies on tourism is now totally focused on fishing!
And it's a good harvest today - so they shared a couple of fish with me!
But we start in Batag Island, and its 1907 lighthouse - this purely concrete construction was part of the original plan to light up the entire archipelago from the south to Manila, and still stands tall (it can resist 200kmph winds!)
Then an earth trail to Amoguis Beach - which turns slippery in the rain!
The next day, back on the craziest boat I've ever taken (they know what they're doing!) and the wooden ROROs before heading around Samar's coast and over San Juanico - in the rain!
My destination is Pintuyan - last time I was catching pygmy squid, but this time of year they're only catching fish - especially mackerel (matambaka)! With a good harvest today - they gave me a couple of fish to grill!

[@teresitacampagna4960]

Great vlog! We admire you for your patience and for trusting the Filipino system of transport (crazy boat rides) which is a bit risky. Sometimes we fear for your safety but we're always relieved and happy that you end up safe and sound. Thanks for taking us back to Pintuyan. It's a lovely place. Not skipping ads to support your channel.

You are admirable KD you've got lots and lots of local friends everywhere you go. Just amping in your travel!!!

[@raquelfatal9959]

That's the second tallest lighthouse in the Philippines! It's nice up there! I frequently go there during my highschool years! Welcome to our home town Laoang Northern Samar! Very nostalgic seeing your footage, thanks for showing it to us. It was built by American Government to help navigate the sailing ships specially the warships!

[@offthecuffadventureswithjamie]

Yes sir that lighthouse is a testament to the design and construction quality! 💪🏻

[@user-mz4ce2rm9z]

Somebody made a comment that you are getting younger and not the other way around. It is due to your outgoing personality, always laughing and interacting with the locals when you get a chance!!! And you also like Filipino cuisine which is outstanding!!! You are no way squimish about the local food and that is a plus. Thanks for your amazing and informative videos!! Not skipping the ads no matter how lengthy it is to help you out a bit.🤪🤪🤪🤪🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰👌👌👌👌👌👌

[@zenithibarita2112]

The lighthouse is our historical heritage...I hope it will be restored to it's former glory someday

[@dannynicart2389]

Throughout its years of service, it endured numerous typhoons that had a significant impact on the province of Northern Samar.

What a journey! Excellent drone footage!

[@ReyvenBergado-tf2sc]

That's correct that lighthouse looks like the Bolinao lighthouse. It's like a replica maybe same engineer.

that lighthouse is a testament to when things were built to last. great job again kumander.

[@arizenzei]

Great job on the vstrom by the way! I knew that bike would be perfect for you. Imagine the poor sniper going through those trails. No doubt he could do it but poor poor sniper. 😄

[@KumanderDaot]

​@@arizenzeihahaha the sniper would be very unhappy with me

[@arizenzei]

Next bike soon, if i may be so bold to suggest the cfmoto mt 450 or the royal enfield himalayan 400/450. Both are not much larger than the vstrom and a more powerful engine allowing you to travel the expressway in luzon. Cutting down significantly your travel time.

[@KumanderDaot]

@@arizenzei yeah if you live in Luzon being able to ride on the expressways makes a huge difference

[@arizenzei]

@KumanderDaot i hear you bud but you might need it when you come and visit luzon again. 400cc is not that far off from 250cc in heft and performance. Just a thought anyway. Keep up the good work. Hope to meet you over a beer a one day.

[@rising_sun4441]

KD you should mark the Google map the places you went to Batag just like the cave which has no name yet as well as the beautiful beaches. Only the old lighthouse is marked on the map. I know the cave is somewhere North and the long beach is somewhere East.

Hi KD please be careful on using gasoline sold in bottles at the sides of the roads because there are some unscropolous people selling that gasoline and mixing with water with gasoline colorings it can damage the engine of the motorcycles.

That's not the Island of Camiguin in the background Kumander Daot! That must be Limasawa Island, only about 15 km distance. Camiguin is about 100 km and that is to far to see from sealevel!

[@KumanderDaot]

The locals said it's Camiguin. They also pointed out Gingoog area just beside it. I saw Limasawa too, it doesn't have the volcanic form!
