I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS THE PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭 (Coron Palawan is NOT what I expected)

[@stecar9122003]

I'm watching from Anaheim, California. On March 24th my wife, mother in law and I will be going to the Philippines to see her side of the family in Meycauayan, Bulacan which is north of Manila. We will be going to our house in Silang, Cavite which is about a 15 minute drive from there to Tagaytay. It's very beautiful there and you can see the second most active volcano in the Philippines which is the Taal Volcano. I got so lucky to be in Silang at the house on January 12, 2020 when Taal erupted. What a amazing sight seeing Mother Nature at work. All of the volcanic earthquakes might not have been as exciting especially with all of the shaking happening. I can't wait to be back in the Philippines again to see family and friends. Excited to see more new places while we are there.

Steve i retired at 52 yrs old. Move to philippines 2009. I live in Baliwag Bulacan presently but have lived all over the philippines. Its a great place. The people very friendly ...culturally...and so pretty. Palawan it great I started coming here in 2002 and spent about 9 weeks a year till 2009. I have no interest in going back to wisconsin but i do miss the snow. Well have fun you will be so glad you came here.

[@javapua]

Claire, that's your song?!!! I'm an instant fan! I immediately drawn to this background song and wondered who's the singer and of course, eager to hear the whole song. Didn't expect at the end of the video that it's actually your original! Just wow! That tour you just made was really tiring. That's why a lot of returnees or those who prefer to have a relaxing vacation rent a boat just for themselves, just enjoying, chillaxing surrounded with those magnificent rock formations. The heavens have favored Ph with a lot of breathtaking wonders.

[@ClaireHawkins]

Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed the music.

[@Haloi-s2s]

I shazamed the song of your video, only to find out it is you singing!! Wow! I really really liked it, keep going 🎉❤

Hi Claire, I'm a Filipina nurse here in Buffalo, NY. I haven't been back to the Philippines since 2009. I am happy you are enjoying your time in my home country. I missed my country and ended up on your KZbin channel. By the way, I love your music. Thank you for vlogging the Philippines. Mabuhay!

Palawan was actually named "The Most Desirable Island in the World" by UK-based travel magazine Wanderlust for 2022. (It was also Travel + Leisure’s "Best Island in the World in 2020.) 13:05 - That was Banana-Q, very popular street food here. What a very short trip though. Thought you'd stay longer, not just in Palawan but in PH. You've probably left by now as i know these vlogs are usually shot days or weeks in advance. Anyway, hope you come visit PH again in the future. It's more fun in the Philippines! 🇵🇭

I hope I can come back soon!

You can't get water in a sea or lagoon clearer than that. The mystic beauty of Nature in the Philippines is just awesome.

Thanks for sharing. To be honest there are lots of Filipinos who haven't been to this beautiful place in Palawan. Im one of them 😁. Really wish I can visit this place someday. By the way, your songs are ABSOLUTELY fantastic. Beautiful voice and music composition. God bless you Claire and take care.

I was smiling the entire time I was watching your video. You are not the first foreign content creator to feature Coron but this is by far the one I enjoyed the most. It’s not too dragging and you featured all the best spots all in one day. Loved your song btw.. your smile and positivity throughout the video is just so contagious 😊

Aw that means so much, thank you!!

We stayed in the Philippines last year, we went there in Coron and we also went to El Nido in Palawan and did Tour A & Tour C💗😍 It's so beautiful!! We also did tours in Cebu and Sohoton Cove in Siargao💗😍

I love your vlogs cause of the music! it makes it so much better!. oh wow you're only there for that long? that's waaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy too short when visiting the philippines! it's too short to get the full experience. plus philippines is a vibe, it's so much different compared to visiting the other south east asian countries, well they have similarities, but just the way you could interact with the locals makes the experience so much better. interactions with the people compared to other nations are unmatched... just the fact that the people are all smiles and friendly.

[@ClaireHawkins]

I totally agree - I need much more time to experience more of this beautiful country! Thank you for watching and listening. Glad you enjoyed! 😊

Barely have I started watching Ms Claire's vlog when I readily subscribed coz I liked her style already. Her straightforward talking about her every actual experience in all of the sites is just worth engaging. She's worth every minute watching. Thanks so much Claire.
