Its his first time to visit the place, maybe his main purpose is to enter the sumaging cave. so many tourist destination now in the northern part of Luzon.

I agree, it's like the small towns in Nepal or Himalayas in the mountains. Even some of the buildings looks like it.

Not sure what "Circle" is - at first I thought it's the name of the mall but it could be the park But the people thought you're looking for a soccer game - that's why they can't give you proper directions Oh well I really admire your sense of adventure and free spirit Continue having fun in the Philippines 🇵🇭

The CIRCLE is just the big tree encircled with cemented pavement. Seung ha was already there twice, before he went up to the provincial plaza and pass by again going back to his hotel.

[@trakeguides]

You've gone deep in the mountain province. Most of us never been there or have seen that place. Thanks for taking us there.

Btw, for more remote provinces, you can mention “Home Stay” or “Transcient” coz there’s really few hotel in the mountains especially if far from the city.

Hi Seung Ha. I am a solo backpacker too and it's so nice to see you wander around. You are so confident and I can say that you are street-smart. In all fairness, good thing Filipinos are always ready to help- especially for foreigners. Please let me give you some advice since I already watched all your videos here in the Philippines. #1 Be consistent in saying "Hi" or "Excuse me" or "Good morning/day" when approaching someone. #2 You said - Can you take me there?- to sound more polite always use please so it will not sound like a command... "Can you PLEASE take me there?" #3 It is nice that you are doing your best to socialize with locals, but keep in mind that you should try not to get too much attention. I hope that you and your other followers will take this positively. You are traveling ALONE in different places with different cultures and practices so you need to be CAREFUL and MINDFUL. Enjoy your travel and looking forward to your future videos!

[@kilometer6712]

Boo try to be so polite too but saying his sentences is what he learned in Seoul 😂 we can forgive him 😂

[@backpackingonmyown]

@@kilometer6712 Yes thats true, thats why i told him to be consistent. This is for him not to be misinterpreted by other people. Yes we can forgive him, but remember that he's interacting with other people in other places with different cultures/practices.

[@2Fennie]

Seungha when you go to hotel ASK for hotel's CALLING CARD , so you can show to tricycle driver to bring you back to HOTEL , even in other countries we do these because we can not say the name of hotel correctly.

[@kathleencastro4647]

[@wintersky2109]

I think they misheard you with soccer Seungha. That's why they maybr misunderstood you. Maybe next time you should type it in a phone or write it if it seems like they don't understand or know what you are talking about. Instances like that are unavoidable though especially for tourists.

​@@rinacat1973 Oh really! As if you had been to that area huh! you see, that's a small town & Tabuk is very far from it, he said it would take 6 hour drive to go there, Do you think there will be an hourly departure of trips going there, it would be unlikely, probably only 2 trips a day(8am & 1pm). When I went there Jeepneys going to Sagada alone & other neighboring towns even took more than an hour or just one hour before departing from Bontoc. Don't put your kind of thinking/thoughts on these people as if they are doing what you think because honestly they are way different from most people in the lowlands especially behavior/character wise & they are more well-off, he even received a change from his 20peso tricycle ride.

There are two ways to go to Tuguegarao from Bontoc. You can ride in the bus going to Manila and stop in Bagabag then from there you can take another bus going to Tuguegaro.Anyway, it's good that you took the way via Tabuk so you can also see another Province of Cordillera.

Tuguegarao doesn't have tourist spots why is he going there?

If Seung ha chose his travel path via Tabuk thru Sadanga, he will not see the Banaue rice terraces.

@@technostadt5937 that's right. He should have spent the night there and headed to Batad Rice Terraces the following day. Then he could traverse Mayoyao, Ifugao and he could still see other rice terraces. From Mayoyao he could still go to Tuguegarao via Aguinaldo and Alfonso Lista then Santiago to Tuguegarao. He could have see so many scenaries while going to Tuguegarao
