Don't you just love Mergim? ❤ He is taking us to the parts of the distant provinces we have never seen before!

[@1375chelsea]

Finn Snow has been around the PH for long time. He even went to Tubbataha Reef which is a rarity among vloggers.

[@observations2011]

Wow, amazing most of us haven't been there. The Philippines is so blessed with natural beautiful scenery. If only the Islands were utilized and developed properly then it would really be paradise.

[@melaniericket9333]

For me what needed is good and easy access to the island like transportation but leave the natural beauty for future generation to see. I love Batanes the way it is. But if you meant is more accomodation or lodging for tourist yes it will be great Batanes will generate more income as well. Love to visit Batanes in the near future

[@rm_alfaro]

​@@melaniericket9333 This is not Batanes! It's actually Mararison Island which is part of the province of Antique in Western Visayas. I guess you got clickbaited with Batanes in the thumbnail!😂

[@melaniericket9333]

@@rm_alfaro thanks for pointing it out

[@rm_alfaro]

@@melaniericket9333 No problem! Mararison Island and Antique Province in general deserve to be in the spotlight! Antique is so beautiful and raw! It's a place where the mountains meet the seas!

Mergim is a city boy however he explores roads less traveled and still enjoys it; he also loves tranquility....calm....refreshing , peaceful environment ....he seems to be a well-rounded vlogger. ...and viewers love him for that. Great video of Mararison island...the mountain view is stunnig. Keep up the good contents, Merg. God bless❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@mildredlopez143]

Adventure galore! Thank you for exposing the gorgeous hidden parts of the Philippines to the world Mergim! For me, the true beauty of the PH are mostly outside the big cities... the calmness, sceneries, people, and wonders of nature😊 Mabuhay! ❤

[@sallytetreault2955]

Your drone footages are never disappointing, along with the background music. Beautiful island and its spectacular views. So nice to hear you speak some Visayan/Tagalog words…soon you’ll be speaking the dialects like a local. Fascinating episode of your journey. Be well and stay safe. 😊

[@VincentPinpin]

Nipa is a type of palm that grows in brackish water. It is usually used as roofing material for the native huts called "Bahay Kubo."

[@vjabonador1067]

Mararison is gorgeous, every time I go there it's always beautiful, especially if you stay overnight with the locals and watch the sunrise. Also, the contrast between the black sand in the main island of Panay and the white sands of the island!

[@Henyo1070]

Nipa are palms that grow in mangrove/swampy areas in the Philippines and probably in S.E. Asia. These leaves are woven and used for roofing and walls of huts.

[@epi_diet023]

That is why I love my hometown Antique.Very quite with amazing nature and still unexplored .But the tourist guide did not even mention anything about the island...what a pity 😊.

[@ivyessonas146]

I'm a Filipino but I have never seen these places, thank you so much for your effort to go to these places and show it to us and the world. God Bless you Mergim..

[@NeoKrypton21]

Hello there. Wow, now you are on a treaking trip there, Mergim! The poeple there are amazingly friendly and peaceful. It was said recently that an old palace was discovered there. You seem to be not used in hiking or treaking. Hehehe. We can hear you catching your breath in the camera. Ate Maricar seems to just have took it without sweat there. Hehehe. I just can't imagine how tough it is for the children to need to take that daily high treak trail just to go to their classes. The view is so splendid on top.

[@josemarieerfe4271]

Welcome to Antique Mergim! Antique where mountains meet the sea. Please drop by at the Coop Ocean View Resort in Barbaza when you go next to the south and to the capital.

[@helenbeltran6420]

Wow, that's the North end part of the Philippines. So peaceful. Beautiful! ♥️🇵🇭

[@wave1806]

Nipa Hut or Bahay Kubo is a house in the Philippines during the days when there is no bricks or concrete yet It is made if bamboo and nipa..the roof is made of coconut leaves or anahaw leaves ( national leaves if the Philippines)

[@mcroann]

Mergim you are a good ambasador to philippines. Very good video producer.❤❤

[@alice.wonder]

Nipa huts were the native houses of the indigenous people of the Philippines before the Spaniards arrived. They were designed to endure the climate and environment of the Philippines. These structures were temporary, made from plant materials like bamboo. The best Filipino agalog translation for the English word nipa hut. The English word "nipa hut" can be translated as the following word in Tagalog báhay-kubo “Bahay kubo” means “country house”

[@jeken291]

We do not have a country house. Those are US terms only. Bahay Kubo or Nipa Hut is the humbled house of our heritage. It's been a house for our ancestors even until now you can still see bahay Kubo as the main house. Today, bahay Kubo is widely used in resorts, beaches and some other reastaurants. But it will never be a country house in terminologies.

[@alice.wonder]

@@jeken291 thanks for correcting me. but the bahay kubo or nipa hut is usually found among our countrymen who live in the mountains. because the bamboo and anahaw leaves to make the roof of the hut are taken for free from the mountain.

[@jeken291]

@@alice.wonder yes. That's right. But the term Country house is only for US. Because country house, are meant for those who leave in the in the country-side. Remember there are Country songs genre? Because those terms are applicable only in the US. Their country house are well built house as well but it just so happened it was in their countryside. Compared to our humbled bahay Kubo, which mostly came from natural and organic materials. Our country side versions are the provinces, barrios and alikes. The Rural areas. But bahay Kubo will never be a country house. In today's generations, the bahay Kubo gained more useful function other than being a typical farm and provincial houses. As what I've shared, bahay Kubo now adays are being used in resorts, beaches and even restaurants. That is why. But I get your point. It's just that bahay Kubo or just simply kubo is not the bahay Kubo we used to know before

[@alice.wonder]

@@jeken291 like what I said, They were designed to endure the climate and environment of the Philippines. there is one song i remember it was sung by JOHN DENVER and the title of this song is "take me home"....

I have enjoyed this video so much! Love the walks you went through cemented walkways there houses to houses, even finding a couple sari-sari stores. Even the elementary school being up there going up through those steps finding sort of hidden there is just fascinating to me, finally, those kids hopping/jumping the steps reminds me of me as a kid in my elementary school. Beautiful island! Might visit there someday! Subbed! 🙂
