Inside MANMADE TUNNELS In Davao's Filipino-Indonesian Town (Balut Island)

[@charlesetienne6037]

Another gem from the KD, who else no other one makes me see the Philippines like him. The Philippines people must be proud of you for such motivation to show the world what a beautiful country this is with plenty of hidden treasures and natural beauty.

[@FeliTongson]

I believe that the reason the locals are so friendly with you Anselm is because they respond to your positive and cheerful personality, they are loving it. And could they not,!you are the friendliest vlogger they have ever met!!! Great job once again!!! ❤❤❤💕💕💕⭐️⭐️⭐️👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@josephpendon4589]

Thanks!

[@jg465]

Great reminder of the migrations of our Austronesian ancestors. We are all one!

[@FinnSnowVlogs]

Happy to see you were allowed to explore the islands compared to my trip few years back :)

[@KumanderDaot]

This was great, I wasn't sure what to expect!

[@gg_Javier]

As an avid follower of both @FinnSnowVlogs and KumanderD, I can't help but wish for a COLLAB trip. What a treat that would be, fellas!

[@rebeccaj]

Having a catch up because I've missed many! Just love your storytelling and learning the history of these beautiful places, that we otherwise, would never hear about or get to see😊

[@englishmadeeasy5377]

I'll stop watching your videos because they always make me teary eyed. Kidding aside, this is another genuine documentary-esque vlogging showcasing such a hidden gem as the Sarangani Island of Davao Occidental. I am a davaoeño and I spent most of my childhood in neighbouring Barrio Bato, Sta. Cruz in Davao del Sur but I have never been to this incredibly beautiful place. It's very interesting to know there is a harmonious co-existence amongst different local and foreign tribes/ people here who proudly call themselves davaoeños. Kudos once more to you Anselm and I can't thank you enough for making my day today.

[@TheTweetkiss]

I love this video! I saw a video about an island in Indonesia on social media, some folks there speak Filipino!

[@reynoschicote]

The Philippines is blessed with 7,641 beautiful Islands is just amazing. Thank you very much KD for exploring the less travelled islands. Mabuhay !

Dang, kumander daot sir. You're very lucky. You're basically more pinoy than me and many pinoys arround you because you see the country more than us. Please continue sharing your trips so we locals can see the country too and realized how beautiful our philippines is.

Good evening from Arizona! Fascinating vlog. I can't get enough in one viewing, have to watch it a few times. Truly a hidden paradise in this part of Davao province. The drone shots of the islands are just spectacular. The beaches are beautiful and the waters so pristine. So much history behind this small cluster of islands. The people are wonderful and the food looks delicious. Miss the curacha and kinilaw. Thanks again for this awesome vlog.

You just keep finding the most interesting little islands to explore. Always the kindest people, too. That demon fish was really fascinating with its horns. I wonder, if you eat it, will it make a devil out of you?

[@AngryKittens]

It's called "cowfish" in English, and no it's not edible. It belongs to the puffer fish family and is poisonous.

At 20:30 you mention about the Majapahit empire influence in the Philippines, I hope you delve more about history of that area, including the Sri Vijaya empire influence in that Country. thanks.

I'm still learning more about those empires and especially their impact on the Philippines.... It really intrigues me.

[@MarieChristine95]

Wow, delicious crabs! They’re more expensive than gold here in Australia, and they’re not even fresh! But Cucuracha is cockroach in Spanish😊.

Yes, there wasn't a border before. The Sangil, the Sama, and the Tausug were the most affected when literally their homelands were divided into three borders between the Philippines, Indonesia, and Malaysia by colonizers.

[@KumanderDaot]

Yes - these were fluid boundaries before! So interesting to see how the cultures merge!

Probably - most of the Indonesians are either Marore or Sangil here, but most others are from Sulawesi/Ternate.
