FISHPOND PROJECT DELAYED! Reality of Farming And Future Plans in Davao

[@KumanderDaot]

Good morning everyone! Hopefully my materials will arrive soon and I can get going on this project! It might be a week until the next one as I have a few important things to sort out in Davao City first! See you on the other side and as always, thanks so much for the support!

Hi Kumander Daot I’m your new subscriber from Visayas,…. Because of you I see and learn a lot of thing’s about Mindanao…..👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽 by the way your a good film maker 👍

[@rahulmaron]

If you fear or worries about fishpond project failure, think of it as a youtube content project instead which is an always win for you. It's just a matter of mind conditioning. I always do this when applying jobs, courting a girl, or do ambitious projects and is the reason why I never had dissapointments in life until now 😂😂

[@yunakasakura6464]

Naka pa picture jud mi sa imo gahapon KD, thank you kaayo buotan jud kaayo ka😍😊stay safe always.

[@JohnSmith-bz9be]

The drone shots were top-notch, and again, enjoyed the music. Congrats on becoming a professional film-maker, you do have the genuine talent for it. You are playing it smart with the fish pond and not repeating stuff that affected you negatively. It is nice hearing you managing your mental health and taking things "chilled". Good luck with your fish research. :)

[@mylahbarreto5265]

Looking forward to seeing the fish ponds come to life again!

[@NickyDunn]

Haha. You scared Madman. 😆 Congratulations on your new title. And 111K Subscribers. Good vibes.Beautiful drone footage. Nice road trip. Cool quad ride. Keep positive. What will be, will be. I spent too many years worrying. And it doesn't change the outcome. Be positive and keep happy. And all will be good. 😃 So glad you got yourself outside. Being around others is definitely great for your health. And everyone is so lovely. Great tunes. Great video. Thank you for sharing. Look after yourself. Have a great weekend. You Nhel and your fur babies. Take care.

Showing new places/barrio/towns is another thing I like about your vlog. I already miss your good friend David, the funny but serious guy especially in helping the T'boli tribe.

[@mylahbarreto5265]

It’s awesome you’re finding other ways to utilize the ponds. Such a beautiful spot!

From mountains to the seas…all great contents! We’ve been to Hinatuan once before; it’s a magical place. More power KD.

[@perlagrant3813]

Anselm I’m loving your blogs, you have a natural talent and the voice for media. Sending love from Perth Australia, hope you’ll make your fish pond an educational place that hopefully I can visit one day. Your place looks so peaceful and I love your Bahay kubo .

[@smallville3075]

Show us more of your interactions with the locals, it’s endearing. It makes my day brighter😊

[@El_.5794]

Kumander speaks the Bisaya language as a necessity since he always have to interact with the locals everyday in dealing with his fish pond and other business before that. It also helps having a Filipina wife as a resource

[@theodorebolan6724]

Your fishpond nipa hut is looking better again. Actually there’s a song called ‘Barcelona’ sung by Freddie Mercury of the band Queen. Do what makes you happy Kumande D, that is the most important in life and good for our soul and health. Nice video from the vlogger Kumander Daot. 😊

Kumander you’ve improved a lot when it comes to your mental state of mind. Sometimes it just takes some detour of plans and visit it in the future when it’s the right time for you. My congratulations to your new passion! I love how you interact with the people around you! Stay safe always!

[@rg3746]

If you decide to continue fish farming, it's a must to have an aeration system. This will significantly reduce your mortality rate . I wish you luck

[@christinaa19]

Wow, This vlog is so amazing. Wonderful to see the philippines that way. You are very talented to capture images! Keep up the great work. I look foward to continue to follow you on this new journey! I found it very interesting to see this content from Canada. You are living a very interesting life in the Philippines. Please continue to make us dream (and see also the real life struggle). I am a therapist and your story really touches me. I am amazed by your strenght and emotionnal awareness. Thanks you for being so open and contributing to prevention and mental health awareness!

[@christopherturco197]

Glad to hear your plans for the fish pond! I was fascinated by the fishing village in Hinatuan and especially the Sibadan Fish Cage & Resort. What a terrific concept out in the middle of the water. Looks quite spectacular from the drone view. I'm in agreement with you that it's much better than an aquarium - all natural. I'm surprised, though, you didn't by one of those fish and "try one" later on the B-B-Q. 😜😂 I think the wonder of the ancestral homes is that they give us an insight to what the area looked like years ago - perhaps during the Spanish colonial era. Beautiful architecture and quite historic! I'm a sucker for history and especially when it's so accessible. The feeling is as if we have been transported back in time! Aloha at Mabuhay! 🤙

[@NickyDunn]

I Love your comments. Always positive. 😁Have a lovely weekend, Christopher.

Thank you for showing us all a glimpse inside this area of our beloved country. So inspiring. And of course, I am most happy that you are finally going to get the right kind of WORK, done by the right set of people with the right set of skills for your fishpond. PUSH Kumander! PUSH lang ng PUSH!

[@atlantafan1156]

Great footage! Is very meditative and reminiscent of my childhood growing up in southern Mindanao. My father tried raising tilapia in brackish water by the coast in the 50’s which was a failure. Transferred the fish to a spring fed pond in the mountains, and I remember the best tilapia I’ve ever eaten. None of ones we buy in US can compare. Thank for sharing. You goodness radiates through the film!

[@iangiles3360]

Kumander, I strongly recommend that you plant Vetiver grass along your fishpond walls. This will stop soil erosion forever! Pls. Pls. Pls try!,,

It would be nice to bring David from tboli to Cateel just show him around. That would be nice.

[@nicdel347]

Have fun on your new plans to revive your fishpond. Maybe someday I can bring my grandkids to check on what fish species you may have. Peace and God bless.

[@francisingreso9185]

one way to prevent dike damage plant kakawate trees or use branches of madre de cacao trees around on your pond dikes

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

Looks like a retaining wall filled in with sand and rocks.. Is what you need.. Dike barrier.. Could build a dock like walkway over wall barrier elevated on poles to walk above the retaining wall.. Cement in foundation posts and tied into each other for support.. That would keep your house land retained and not wash away. Docking posts for boat dock tied into one another or not.. Would keep a walking area level and strong . don't short cut it 😂✌

[@KumanderDaot]

I would love to do that but the DENR won't allow it 🙁

[@francisingreso9185]

just an advice k-daot improve your fishpond by installing pipes water outlet with wire mesh in order to have a maximum water livel incase of raising flood water of the pond during rainy seasons and to prevent the distruction of the dikes. good day and more power bro.

I like your interactions with the locals in Bisaya, when you are trying to adjust to them in order to be understood well. The locals will appreciate you better as they don’t get intimidated of having to communicate with a foreigner. Actually, you’re not a foreigner anymore. You’ve been in Mindanao and a resident of Davao for 5 years already. Keep up the good trait Kumander. This vlogging hobby has made positive results in your life. Keep it up and stay safe and healthy

[@alreyes1877]

Kumander, stick with what you are doing..passion and being busy kept you from whatever demon lurks around us..Everyone in the community who loves and tries to assist you with open hearts and minds means most than any riches on earth. Your advantage also is your quick knowledge of the dialect and that gives extra footings with the locals which you helps a lot by being their customer, and extra monies for the help that they extended. Here in the USA, we're having medical and political disagreement that turns into pure chaos. I actually envy you. Stay safe my brother, be healthy and peace to you.

I always enjoy you videos as you do such a good job with the narration and getting the history of places you go. You have come a long way in a short time of vlogging. The people there must really love their fish ponds as a lot of them were in the shape of a heart. Not sure if they were meant to be like that but it looked cool to see so many hearts in the water. I can't wait till I can get back there and be near the ocean. Keep up the good work and stay safe. Remember it is 5thirsty somewhere haha.

[@geoffreymartinez2144]

You don't need to buy fingerlings of bangus or tilapia if you don't want to go commercial Kumander. Just make use of the "panaka"(fingerlings that comes in to your pond every time the high tide water comes in). Before you do that, you need to clean up the pond. Prepare it like you have to dry up the water first and when it's cleaned up, try dumping dry chicken manure inside the pond. Let it stay there for a week before you let the water come in from the irrigation canal. When "lablab" (algae) starts to develop inside the pond, wait until it gets thicker and abundant inside the pond because that would serve as the food of the fish. After that you could start letting the water from high tide come in when you want to change the old water in the pond every now and then. I hope this helps you with your plan.
