[@BenjFresnido17]

JM, I think it's time to explore non-mainstream spots naman like Calaguas or Caramoan. They deserve to get more exposure from quality influencers like you.

[@JmBanquicio]

Awww thank you for this. Will visit these places soon 😍

[@Mssschaaa]

Agree po! More travel and videos to come please 🙏 Dahil sa videos nyo naging smooth ang travel namin to Boracay

[@majorpoint3977]

Yes! Marinduque and Romblon too

[@maylejana2001]

yes try din po Jomalig Island for those who can't afford airfare since ang mahal lately hehe

[@gleziejulesnarvaez8727]

Hello! Pwede po maki hingi ng details ng contact for island tour..thanks

[@glacyanneojeda4506]

We were here last January 29. Beware of the bankeros na dadalhin ka sa maling site for snorkeling. Yung pinagdalhan sa amin na snorkeling site is not the one shown in this video. Yung pinuntahan niyo po sir JM ay yung official snorkeling site (May tourism desk, naka-uniform yung mga snorkeling guide, and marami kang kasabay na bangka). Samantalang yung pinagdalhan sa amin, kumbaga, in lay man's term "colorum" (Isang bangka lang ang nakasabay namin to snorkel, walang tourism desk. Magbabayad ka lang kung kanino doon, yung guide namin ang babata at ang liliit ng katawan, and the worst part is: super lakas ng alon doon sa pinagdalhan sa amin ) Napaka-traumatic ng experience dahil muntik nang maaksidente father ko nung bumaba siya sa bangka to snorkel dahil sa lakas ng alon, humahampas na sa kanya yung bangka. And I mentioned earlier na ang babata and ang liliit ng guide kaya wala din sila magawa to help my father. Ang ending, nagkaroon siya ng sugat sa binti dahil nagpaikot ikot siya sa mga bato sa dagat dahil sa lakas ng hampas ng alon.

[@glacyanneojeda4506]

And it did not stop there. Yung mother ko, she just stayed in the bangka the whole time, hindi siya nag-snorkel. And nung umahon na kami sa pampang, pabalik na kami sa parang kubo nila kasi tapos na. Biglang inabot sa amin nung guide namin yung snorkeling device, yung glass na basag. Yun daw yung gamit ng mother ko, naapakan niya daw pagbaba. Tapos ang sabi pa nung isang guide nakita niya daw na naapakan ng mother ko, e he was not near the bangka that time. And mararamdaman naman ng mother ko kung may naapakan siya na nabasag, di ba. So they had us pay additional 500 for that. When I rewatched this vlog of yours, sir JM, I became certain na naloko talaga kami. Dahil ibang iba yung lugar na pinagdalhan sa amin. Nakakapang-hinayang lang kasi we were looking forward for this activity, dahil sobrang enjoy mo panoorin while snorkeling. Kaso hindi namin siya nagawa and naenjoy. 😥 I hope wala na sila mabiktima na iba. Just sharing my experience for those who plan to go snorkeling sa Balicasag na may gantong mga modus sila. Take note na lang na red flag agad siya kapag napansin niyong ang dami niyong kasabay sa dolphin watching, tapos pagdating sa snorkeling in balicasag, they are not there. It means iba ang pinagdalhan sa inyo. I'm sorry, ang haba ng comment ko. Ingat!

[@papaalphaoscar5537]

You will get more time with the dolphins if you set off early (5:30 AM) near Pamilacan island. You might even get to see whales and mantas depending on the season. Those pumpboat engines can give you hearing damage. You can improvise earplugs using tissue paper.

[@lanlan5783]

Hi JM! My husband and I watch your videos all the time. We are here in Canada but will be going home next week and will be in Bohol right away and I'm so glad I've seen your posts before we go so informative. Ikaw na Ang influencer talaga Kasi na influence mo kami! Keep it up!❤️

[@Esto_es_john]

The island hopping makes me excited on my upcoming travel to Bohol. You should have stayed at Henann, the staffs there are sharp and attentive :) thanks for uploading.

[@dixiegirl3959]

Kuya- what’s the weather like in Bohol in July August? Really want to avoid typhoon. But only time I have. I want to book soon. Salamat!

[@DreamsiDEALRealty]

Hi @JM! Can I have the contact details of your island hopping bangkero, PLEASE... Thank you!

[@athanincanada9800]

[@racheldano8686]

[@clairetrota2932]

[@sheilanovesteras3339]

I love watching ur videos… very informative… ❤

[@itsmejosh]

Thanks for the infos. We are going to the Philippines on the last week of September and considering Bohol to visit.

[@Dabarkads_Teen7123]

Ganda ng underwater view. Ang galing ng close encounter w/ the pawikans. Sobrang pricey nga ng foods nla. Mapapa English k talaga s ganda s Virgin island! Wow...mapapa sna all tlaga!!!

[@bhogzification]

Anu pong contact details ni kuya bangkero?

[@erbeexsuarez1319]

Hi Jm, ask ko lang yung rent ng boat na 2200 is good for 1 person lang ba yun?

[@dananthony6480]

New subscriber here! Great job and very informative! Question po: how long is the duration of the island hopping?

[@camillebaes07]

ilang neses ko inulit ulit mga vlogs mo sa bohol last lst month and today since i am planning to go there. Thank u for the very informative, clear and detailed vlog as in🙌

[@byaheni1day]

Same here

[@호랑이-t9y]

Thank you so much, JM. Nag Bora kami last year and every time pinapanood ko videos mo, grabe.. parang nag ttravel uli ako pabalik. I will ask my sister na sa Bohol kami as my graduation gift. Thank you thank you for giving us amazing, honest, and informative content. I really appreciate it!

[@javieranselmo1]

Looks like walang turnover Yun day shift worker sa night shift. Good na realized Nila ang fault came from them. And when you get to Manila, first thing you do is to buy a go pro camera. Sooner or later you will hit 100k subscribers since you're doing a great job doing travel vlogs local and international. 👍

[@liverpoolpictorial]

Hi JM, love your videos. I'm sure I saw you singing on stage at Hard Rock Cafe, Glorietta about three weeks ago. If it was you, you have a good voice.

[@kingjoseph5127]

Sir JM may contact number po ba kau kay kuya boatman?

[@lynarmende2057]

While i am watching you in your island hopping napapangiti rin ako feeling ko nandyan din ako!😊

[@kailine3008]

sa true lang, pang world class talaga ang beaches natin kaya i hope maalagaan natin ng mabuti ang ating islands. also, sana matutukan talaga yung mga businesses na nagoovercharge. may mga cases ng nareport sa Bohol na ganun yung nangyayari so hopefully, maaddress nila yung issue before maturn off ang mga tourists na pumunta sa Bohol.

[@Malanela]

To me, isa sa basis ko to say na overpriced ang isang tourist destination ay sa singil ng mga tricycle drivers. Doon ko napupuri ang El Nido, Palawan. Kasi regulated ang transportation fee. Hindi dahil traveller ka, tatagain ka sa presyo. Just sharing :)

[@kailine3008]

@@Malanela That's true po. Davao also, nasunod sila sa tamang presyohan ng public transpo nila. Share ko na din lang yung experience naming family when we went to Davao a long time ago. Nahatid kami ni taxi driver sa maling branch ng hotel and what he did was something na kind of impossible na maexperience ko dito sa Manila. Nagsorry sya samin and hinatid kami sa tamang hotel branch without charge. Pagkakamali daw nya yun so hindi daw sya dapat bayaran. Kami naman, nagiinsist na bayaran sya dahil syempre gusto naming bayaran yung time, effort and gas ni Kuya. Tsaka naiintindihan naman namin na talagang minsan, nagkakamali tayo kahit hindi naman natin sinasadya. In the end, nirefuse pa rin niya na bayaran namin siya. Not saying na dapat lahat ng drivers ganito pero naappreciate namin si Kuya driver. Bihirang bihira na lang yang mga ganyang drivers ngayon.

[@kaycabuyoc4724]

Sobrang clear! Dapat group talaga para hindi ganon kalaki ang expenses!

[@MomoMimi-yp5gy]

Nagbayad pa po ba kayo ng guide fee?

[@deandrake2723]

kuya eye candy

[@farahpagar]

JM thanks sharing this vlog , dahil sa vlog mo na-enganyo akong mag-snorkeling sa Balicasag Island sa Bohol ,kasi mabait yung mga guide plus pati pag rent ng go pro for underwater shots , natuloy din kami ng fam last year.

[@saskiaaa]

magkakasundo pala tayo, parehas natin fave ang Dunkin Donut, esp Boston Cream and their Iced Coffees. Anyways, i super loved this vlog. Itatanong ko pa nga lang regarding dun sa GoPro, like pano mo makukuha yung videos ayun pala isesend / transfer sayo. Ang galing. halatang walang alam dun T__T Ang ganda nga sa Virgin Island, nakaka mesmerize tingnan sa video mo, what more pa kaya jan sa personal. And the dolphins are so majestic and a wonderful sight to see. Baka maiyak ako pag nakita ko yung super daming dolphins na nag lalangoy sa dagat. And ang cool tingnan nung pawikan, sobrang upclose. naalala ko si Dudeeee sa Finding Nemo haha di ko sure if yun name nya basta si pagong dun. =)) Mas lalo ako na excite mag Bohol. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Sana makita rin kita and makapag hello sayo ^.^

[@JMFCVlogs]

[@kaii_f9245]

Just went in Bohol, Joiner aq for Island Hopping I only paid 500 for seat fee and aq lng pinay sa bangka namin😅kapressure. I joined thru Bohol Tipid Trips fb page - seat fee lng cla, so you need to pay for entrances/vest and snorkeling fees, which was 450 all in all

[@Inayjet28]

We experience the same experience….. dear……same na same….. ang reason kya we dont recommend this place….. Samadhi resort poor management……kami isa pang reason kasi may inaccept ung foreigner n may ari dw…. Kawawa ang kpwa pinoy natin na nag wowork dun wala silang magawa just to follow what the foriegner owner say….

[@ndepodcastlifechangingmome9019]

In hawaii there is a place sanctuary to snorkel with the turtles but u cannot touch them and if the turtle also touches you you are fined 1000th dollars even though its not your fault thats how they protect the turtles you have to maintain distance and no touching

[@elviracatherinetalaoc2070]

That’s one thing I noticed. Most of the prices went up. We went to Boracay last month we noticed that everything went up. Lots of people now are going to Thailand because they get more bang for their buck.

[@byaheni1day]

Ano ba yan, masyadong naman expose ang mukha mo rather than showing more beautiful views and nature.👎👎👎
