EXTREME River Adventure To CRYSTAL BLUE WATERS (Jipapad, Eastern Samar) 🇵🇭

AN EXTREME RIVER ADVENTURE TO THE CRYSTAL BLUE WATERS OF ZANISI FALLS OF JIPAPAD, EASTERN SAMAR!
Is this the Philippines best adventure? At the edge of the forest in Samar National Park, is this beautiful waterfall named for an Italian priest who played a big part in the history of the inland town of Jipapad.
We start in the tourism office with some of the excellent wood carvings that come from one of the far-flung barangays here.
Then after a wander around this heritage town, we are presented with an unusual dish: frogs!
This provided an excellent stomach filler for the real adventure; a bote (torpedo boat) ride to Brgy Cagmanaba, located in a beautiful valley just outside the forest. Locals here survive on the copra harvests from the many coconut plantations nearby.
The crowning jewel of Jipapad? Zanisi Falls - an incredible sight.
We're leaving Eastern Samar for now. What an adventure it has been.

I love watching your vlogs. As a Foreigner married to a Filipina, it helps me understand more about places and the history of the Philippines. Thank you!

[@ManongdoMJ]

thank you Kumander Daot for promoting the less explored part of Philippines. Youre the bravest Foreign vlogger that ever reached the critical/less explored places in the country

[@bridgetchrista]

You are really keeping your Guardian Angel very busy because you go to these places which may be a number of us Filipinos ( me included) have not even visited🙏🏿

[@lornaramirez6567]

Wish this barangay take care of the river for their own benefit did you bring home a sunka? Take care Kumander D

[@aurorasarmiento4694]

Another wonderful vlogs you have made Anslem, your journey to less popular and promoting it as well to our locals and foreigners alike....thank you very much, your bravery to go beyond is unthinkable, your enjoying every minute of it, and it is really recommendable....as if I am with you exploring every nook and cranny of my country....just keep it coming Anselm, and praying for your safety in every steps you make...God bless you.

Amazing place. That falls looks like a painting!! The water is so fresh blue😮 andThat bird was the tour guide..or maybe the watcher of the chanel. Awesome!

[@alexd7491]

You did it again KD. It was fascinating documentary about places in Eastern Samar specifically this town of Jaipapad. By the way, when was that big flood again?

[@therainbow488]

This vlog is epic and I love it. Funny when you said first things first, there's tuba.😂 Secondly, you don't know where you're going. Lol!

😍 Lots of eye candy in this vlog, KD = wood carvings, colorful boats, choco rice cakes, statues, ancestral homes, landscapes, even your new bike shirt. 👍

[@aldaperlitapolestico9848]

Thank you for featuring Jipapad, KD. It warms the hearts of every Filipino that you feature unknown places in the country. The Cannosian Missionaries really contributed to the growth of this town.

[@dharmendradayal44]

That was some amazing vlog by amazing Kumander Daot visiting farthest Samar. 👌🇵🇭

[@gabyrancid]

wood craving really appreciated

[@gramo63]

I hope someone will tell the Filipino woodcarver (featured from 1:31 to 1:54) that the Philippine Flag on his T-Shirt sleeve is displayed WRONG. It should be displayed on the LEFT SLEEVE -- so the Triangle faces FORWARD. If the PH Flag is worn on his chest pocket (left or right) then the PH Flag is displayed OK. The same with the PH Flag displayed horizontally on a wall -- the Triangle faces the LEFT. Therefore, on the LEFT sleeve, the Triangle faces LEFT -- and FORWARD.

[@rednaxelahcitorfaznebo2830]

From your loyal subscriber. I really appreciate Kumander Daot for showcasing the nature-beatiful Samar. I think you're the first foreigner-vlogger to feature Samar. May I suggest, you also visit the picturesque Islands of Romblon and Camotes group of islands of Cebu province.

[@KumanderDaot]

Romblon is amazing! Need to explore that area more as an LPA was coming when I was last there!

[@merliecaranzo302]

[@christopherturco197]

When you asked "You know what it tastes like?" when you ate the frog, I was expecting you to say "frog."😂 I wonder why people always say frog tastes like chicken. Maybe it's actually the chicken that tastes like frog. The river there is very beautiful as are the falls. Quite unique. Seeing how much the river rises is truly impressive, too. I would imagine they have to bring everything up to the 2nd floor of their homes to avoid losing it all in the flooding.

[@KumanderDaot]

Hahaha maybe chicken actually tastes like frog! I like your logic 😁
