HIDDEN FILIPINO RICE TERRACE CAFE - Antique Mountains Surprised Me (Climbing Philippines)

[@BecomingFilipino]

What made this even more magical? I had no clue the place existed... just saw a sign at 5pm while roaming on my scooter... and saw the ridges hoping I could climb. Spontaneous Philippines Adventuring. BEAUTIFUL.

[@thebalotchronicles6382]

Im glad u enjoyed the food Kulas! It's 10/10 isn't it? That is our friend's restaurant. They have a vision for it to become a tourist spot in our hometown. Thank you for featuring it to your vlog. Thank you for appreciating our "banwa". Lovelots from UK. :)

[@kalisicruz7383]

congrats kulas! finally 1m subs. you deserve it! power on!

[@Cuteshang]

Enjoy travel sir kulas

[@xxv]

I love how Kulas doesn't celebrate 1M subs (but still, congrats Kulas). Cos he doesn't have sub goals like any other content creators, his goals are to inspire people and be inspired by people. Keep it up Kulas.

[@therainmaker8946]

that’s a fact..apir🤨

[@niebasabe3664]

true!

[@cebamy]

So true!

[@RSGEProductions]

Looks like he hasn’t made much content since then , barely gain any subs

[@alphaomega6365]

Kulas should be a model vlogger for all travel vloggers visiting the Philippines. His content has always had substance.

[@bryansarty3821]

I'm almost 66 years of age. I only started to watch Kulas a couple of months ago. It is so inspiring in the way that he can present the beauty and the many cultures of the Filipino people and this diverse country. This was my favourite episode! I have to go and must see it myself! Thank you Kulas for opening my eyes! I finally know what I want to do in my retirement years.

[@boyskiz]

All I can say honestly is Wow. What a beautiful and enchanting place. Maraming salamat Kulas. The Philippines is truly beautiful.

[@get_busy_living]

I love how I have never heard him say "click like and subscribe" and now has 1 million subscribers. Congrats bro..👏👍

[@elizerlaguna3713]

Kyle, that's a very nice adventure hiking up the tall mountains on your trail. I've heard Benito explained one of those mountains, Mt. Baloi. I remember my father, a veteran of WWll telling us stories a long time ago during the Japanese occupation. They were assigned there as advance party to meet the American GIs from Australia bringing guns, ammos, foods and other logistical needs for the liberation of the Philippines. He's now resting at the Libingan Ng Mga Bayani, Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City.

[@BecomingFilipino]

Thanks for sharing your story.

[@ermanmarajas6367]

Wow... I spent my childhood days in Tibiao, Antique and have passed by Valderrama then but I have never gone to where Kulas climb and viewed the hidden rice terraces of the place. Several mountains were mentioned by the guide who knows the place so well. I am familiar with Mt. Maja-as, the majestic mountain, that can be viewed from the Antique School of Fisheries in Tibao. Every morning when I wake up then, the majestic view of Mt. Maja-as never fails to amaze me. Whenever I go home from Tibao Central School to home, I walk facing the view of the majestic mountain. The school where my dad was the high school principal has a wide-open space that gives one a great view of the mountain and the river streams up there are visible. Those were the days, 50 years ago but are still vivid in my mind.

[@christopherturco650]

It's almost impossible to not get such spectacular drone shots when you have such amazing beauty to work with, but the views are unsurpassed. Nice job! Benito is such a beast handling that climb and leading you to the peak - legend!!! And the food looked so incredible. I can't believe all the gourmet level food found in the most remote places around the PH. That cafe is 100% fire! Great food, great views, great building/architecture.

[@racheldimayuga4636]

So glad that you showed us the beautiful Mt. Igcoron and climbing it without any plan. We love that about you, so spontaneous to show us the beauty of Antique mountain. Reminds me of the rice terraces in Baguio. More power to you Kulas.

[@chetonichi]

Our hope and expectation of a climb were well exceeded. What a lovely turn of events finding Teraza and Benito. Then summiting Mt. Igduao and providing us a glimpse of the 'Trilogy of Panay' in the distance! Easily one of your top 5 all-time best episodes in my book (I take that back, top 3). Thanks and Kudos Datu!

[@sportyguy9326]

The PANORAMIC VIEW of the hills and mountainside is just MAJESTIC! I didn't realize Antique is another emerald gem found in the Philippines.

[@burningheart1224]

Wow.. What an amazing place...really my Philippines is a Paradise. Thank you Kulas for showing these amazing places. We, that cannot able to reach places like you do. I hope that the Tourism Department of the Philippines give you a acknowledgement for these kind of documentary. Its really helpful for the Dept of Tourism for promoring the amazing beauty of the Philippines.

You leave me speechless, again. Never get enough of BecomingFilipino.

[@bebot2014]

my father was a WWII vet and then served for 30 yrs in military, during the war he was with the guerilla movement in the Visayas and Antique was one of the islands where they hid, the places you mentioned were the same places he mentioned in his stories about his war life, he was a foot soldier so he really had to transfer from one place to another, this is the only time I see what these places look like, thru your video and I appreciate it so much...

[@silvanomanuel2589]

I always follow your vlog ever since, I think for me this is the coolest discovery of vlog. I didn't know that place exist.

[@raindrops4857]

This is one of my favorite episodes you had Kulas. Wow! just wow!😍 I really need that kind of nature right now! Thank you for showing it.

[@BongiePilapilMacas]

I remember a friend of mine who became a doctor he hails from Antique , son of a poor farmer yet he was smart and passion to finish medicine . He was a great inspiration and big help to the community. Dad to say he passed away years ago in New York City , he was about to leave for the UK for a scholarsjip grant for further studies. Each time I hear of Antique I am reminded of my friend and the hope of young people in our country. There's always hope ! Power on Kulas! Power on Philippines!

[@garyburgmylifeandtimes6354]

That is an amazing place to decide to establish a restaurant. It looks extremely out of the way meaning you ready must want to go to that restaurant to eat but it definitely looks like it was worth it. That might even rate as a bucket list restaurant. Awesome sunset to have your tea too.

Hi Jesabe. Couldn't help replying to another subscriber of Kulas from Pandan, Antique. I was born in this place too tho I grew up in Taguig where I reside till now. Si Nanay is a Saracanlao from Botbot while si Tatay is from Callan. My yearly vacation made me cherish Antique so much. So proud of our province that in every visit I bring friends and officemates along so they can also savor the meeting of the mountains and the sea. All my guests say that Antique is truly beautiful and blessed. By the way, i can speak fluently the karay-a dialect, my lola's hardwork. She is a Barrientos from Sta. Fe, Pandan. Again, glad to meet a fellow Becoming Filipino subs from Pandan. Kruhay!!!
