I love the Philippines. I was there last year and stayed a couple of nights in Boracay. Love their beautiful sunsets. I watch it every night. Just a paradise out of this world. I prefer close to the nightlife and restaurant. I’m not so much of a quiet place so I stayed close to the clubs and bars. I want to go back there again! Love love love boracay beach!!!

[@bromartyt7143]

MABUHAY ENJOY BORACAY TAKE CARE GUYSS

[@patrickinigo3518]

I may say to the men and women of Boracay,SALUTE for making this place amazingly beautiful,GOOD JOB PEOPLE👍👏🤗

[@Chris-rj2pf]

Wow! It’s been 10 yrs since I went to Boracay. Enjoy!

[@denniszenanywhere]

This is the video I've been waiting for. Actual real time walking down Boracay restaurants and bars and alleyways and of course, the unmissable sunset! I'm like Madou the way I look at that sunset. Madou, you have try Ube halaya and everything ube (what you call purple) as PH is known as the original source of ube and supplies it to the world. It's not as common in other parts of the world -- so make the most of ube.

[@marjunmarcelocristobal2678]

ESKINITA in Filipino means Street Alley..coz the way how the shop looks like is a narrow alley. That LUMPIA is MOUTHWATERING!

[@johkarimchilltv7687]

One of The famost island in the Philippines boracay,, and you should go also the amazing island of siargao,, bohol,, and the incredible the one and only El nido and Coron in Palawan Island..enjoy your stay in the Philippines..

[@marjunmarcelocristobal2678]

That Sunset...SPEECHLESS!!

[@GlenAndMado]

Its a beauty! have you been here before?

[@ramonsaracamasura7156]

Injoy guys

[@moondustgirl2132]

The purple food you've been seeing is called Ube (pronounced "Ooh-Beh"), or Purple Yam in English. Although there are Purple Yams in some other countries too, it is said to have originated in the Philippines. It is widely used here for all kinds of snacks and desserts. 💜

[@robstratton6296]

it's taro.

[@moondustgirl2132]

@@robstratton6296Ube and Taro are related but they are NOT the same, in flavor and usage.

Thanks so much, We really appreciate you :)

[@pauliejojo8241]

You should try those exotic Filipino street foods: Balut, Isaw, Kwek Kwek, Siomai, Siopao, Chicharon, Fish balls, and Betamax to experience the extreme flavors of Filipino street food. Ube is the best local desert in the Philippines. The Philippines' Beaches are unique, no comparison to any of the parts of the world. Truly and proudly the Philippines.

[@GerrySakimaru62]

Purple yam, locally known as Ube, is endemic to the Philippines. You find them in a lot of desserts, like Halo Halo, and that pastry that Mado ate.

[@ChannelFredo]

Enjoy! It maybe the rainy season but you get White beach in its best condition clear of algae and seaweed.

[@efrenjrsumbingco3838]

Kamusta ka glen and mado. Enjoy your vacation in boracay. Godbless. 😊❤️ love you guys.

[@marilousumo226]

Enjoy the Boracay paradise

[@cristinasumadchat605]

There are a variety of lumpia. There is lumpiang togue, (pronounced as to-ge) lumpiang Shanghai, lumpiang ubod, lumpiang gulay etc. I consider lumpiang sariwa as the best. You both should try it.

[@leonardquinao6704]

After Boracay go to El Nido and Coron in the island of Palawan...you will be mesmerized just the same...😊

[@JonasBenavidez-ju5fq]

Enjoy there 👌👌👍

[@ekstensivelightssounds9560]

Iskinita means Hallway Purple Color is Called Ube Lumpia is Spring roll Mango in the Philippines is Very Sweet in the world enjoy Stayed in Boracay Paradise ❤❤❤

[@GlenAndMado]

Its such a tasty fruit, yummmm!

[@polgonzales]

❤ So glad you enjoyed your time at Boracay. If this was about June, then you cam towards the end of the peak season. I hope you return to see the rest of the country. Who knows you might get enough subscribers to get invited to endorse resorts. You are definitely the kind of tourists we love to have back. You’re a lovely couple. Thanks for respecting the island culture. 😊

[@polgonzales]

TIP: Locals don’t like getting dark under the sun- so the beach practically empty when the sun is glaring. Stay in the water to keep cool. 😊

[@polgonzales]

You gave us a great idea. Staying at the Balabag side. So calm and quiet. Thanks.

[@GlenAndMado]

haha very nice of you man! we would definitely love to come back in the future though :)

[@GlenAndMado]

I've noticed that, always love using umbrellas lol

[@polgonzales]

@@GlenAndMado Yup. One for rain and yes, one for the sun. Men normally don’t care. Methatione is a liver or is it, kidney medication but when they found that it cause skin to lighten (a side effect of the drug), it is now the leading drug for skin whitening. 😝

[@WelcomeToRabuAvenue]

it would be better to say Magandang Umaga po ( good morning) , Magandan Hapon po ( good afternoon) , Magandang gabi po (Good evening) instead of Kamusta ka? It is not customary for us to greet random people with Kamusta ka.

[@pcsixty6]

Purple ingredient is from Ube or purple yam

[@GlenAndMado]

You got that right, still find it so fascinating and delicious :)

Do you think we are as same size as Singapore?

[@cristinasumadchat605]

It depends on the area. You might be surprised, you get out of your house with an umbrella and jacket with the rain so strong. You ride a jeepney, when you get to your destination, the sun is shining brightly.

[@GlenAndMado]

This was recorded a while back :)

[@RochKin-n8h]

I really enjoyed this vlog. Awesome vlog. If you go to Siargao, there are probably more western tourists or residents there than anywhere in the Philippines.

Take care ( Ingat ) is pronounce as " E - ngat " not " Eng - Gat " 😀

It's not tagalog in Boracay, different dialect. It's no longer Salamat 😊

[@pinoymtbiker289]

Your girlfriend now is smiling brotha😅

[@rolandl8135]

The real reason why Boracay was shutdown was because of the construction of casinos and hotels/condos. They needed to expand the roads and shssshhh everyone and also claim some spots abandoned by small local businesses. Ask a local and they know this is true.

[@GlenAndMado]

didn't know that, thanks for a different insight of the situation, we really appreciate it :)

Please relax guys. You guys going thru these tourist spots and you guys are probably the loudest and anxious couple in the island. Just relax and enjoy the moment. Don’t be too demanding and let the vendors explain what they offer. You guys are not the first time Filipinos have to deal with. You guys need a couple spa/massage for 2 hours and I believe it will make you guys reenergize. 🫰🏽🫶🏽🇵🇭😎 why your complaining about the sand close to the shops and people are enjoying themselves. Stay away from tourist spots in Boracay. Stay at the quiet side of the island. You guys are not happy with lots of people or rats. Why you call them rats? That’s not good to say to brown people.🤔🧐😟☝🏾
