PHILIPPINES FISHPOND CONSTRUCTION! Strongest Men In Mindanao? (Protecting My Davao Home)

[@terrygreaves8176]

It never ceases to amaze me the strength of Filipinos. They may be small in stature but they are incredibly strong and will just work all day doing that over and over and over again.

[@ianwatson3315]

And for around $3.00 a day!

[@romeoETmike]

Of course. This people had been trained to carry load since they were young boy. Their muscle and bone density is different than people you get muscles from food. If these people are eating like Americans and work hard as they did they will be much stronger. Manny Pacquiao is like that. He had been doing hard work and lifting since he was young boy from construction to carrying big tuna in the fishport all day. That is why he delivers hard punches.

[@romeoETmike]

[@orlandonecesito4904]

Super fluency of Bisaya dialect. For a Welshman like you it's amazing.

[@alexd7491]

KD, God Bless you for reviving your fishpond. Not only you’re going to be operational soon but also contributing to the community by putting locals employed, food in the market and grow local economy. You are a genuine Filipino KD.

[@elz665]

I am amazed of your "SALAMAT SA GINOO" or Thank you God. We pray for the successful rehabilitation of your fishpond

[@charlietaclendo4641]

Men from Hinatuan are the best fishpond builders of the whoel world. they are brave, fighter and strong. no hard work in mud and easy job on bamboos. It must be the first episode in KD flex for the film entitled "The Fishpond". It was a happy ending at the car wash. haha big thank you KD

[@concerncitizen8988]

Impressive. These people knows what they're doing. Manual hardwork but it's the right thing to do for practical reasons under the circumstances. 👍 Thanks for sharing this video.

[@kikootoyat6238]

KD when you visit them bring some merienda always...Filipinos appreciate those small things...even pandesal and instant coffee alone would be a relief for them...

[@thisiscamarie]

That carwash was hilarious! I was drinking my coffee and almost spit it out! Daot gyud ka, Kumander! Hahahaha Buanga oi! 🤣 On a more serious note, I super appreciate how fluent you are with Bisaya. You get even the nuances of the language, and wow, those numbers! I cant even say those numbers in Bisaya as well as you do and Im a born and bred Mindanaoan! Way to go with the fishpond, Kumander!

[@anxiousdog]

I’ve always imagined fishpond building to be hard but never thought of it to be this backbreaking hard. Thanks for giving us a glimpse of how it’s done.

[@claudiafernandez6125]

You can converse good bisayan dialect and you sound fluent to it. Congrats to your fish pond expansion.

[@evagracereyes930]

Those guys are really good worker. They know what they’re doing

[@spectrex1972]

Yes, watching them build fish pond in the US. MUCH RESPECT! Very hard workers and skilled. Have a lot of pride for yourself and your work.

[@kmercado6263]

Kumander you were born to vlog! Your cinematography skills is unreal! Kudos to the fish pond workers as well. its not an easy job indeed!

[@jackjohn8246]

Iam so impress how he speak the local dialect. 👏👏👏

[@christopherturco197]

Of all the funny things we've seen you do in your vlogs, this car wash is the absolute funniest! That was hysterical, Kumander!!! So glad you don't take yourself too seriously. Otherwise, you wouldn't have shared that with us. Salamat kaayo!

[@LoneWolf-oi4yx]

Daot carwashing 🤣🤣🤣

[@disbursingofficer]

Yes this is one of the moments when it can be unpredictably very funny!

[@anastasiabalonosyau3700]

Please take care all of them Kumander, they are working with you with a full dedication and hardworking.🙏🙏🙏💪

[@johnblenkiron5126]

This is explicit documentation of the mud dike building process for Filipino fish ponds and river embankments in general. Great work, Kumander. Great camera work and editing. Have a wonderful reunion back in Davao with your wife and pets. (I think that you should consider getting a trademark hat to compete with Kulas's headbands. What do you think?)

[@aliasmarg8ta127]

2:48 That's back breaking work. 5:15 God bless the people who makes an honest living. Every time you launched the noisy leaky boat I had been thinking a raft would be more practical. Bravo for the diskarte. I was wondering how you will transport the bamboo across the river. I never would have thought to cut holes and thread wood through them to keep them together.

[@aminahforever4277]

Those workers and the carabao are true legends! I see you are more inspired, KD. Happiness and satisfaction are soaring high when you have the right people around you👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@clintcahulogan3448]

Your house in the fish pond is stronger now. Like your life, it is more stronger now. Congrats Kumander! You can do it, a lot of people loves you. 😃👍

[@blairguinea6811]

Very picturesque fishpond KD , reminds me of the ones in Hawaii ................those Filipino boys work so hard, good to see Kulas

[@marlonmartinez7255]

After fixing your flatform its better to plant on top of it a bermuda grass or carabao grass so that the soil will not be muddy and erode easily and it add to beautification of the pond area.

[@cestiuseco7721]

Very industrious workers and really gets the work done.

[@atlantafan1156]

Interesting! Are the mud bricks similar to Irish peat? Very hardworking guys and very ingenious with making do with resources available. Can’t imagine what it’s like when I think of the heat, humidity, and insects that is not communicated on film. Your command of language is admirable. Rosetta Stone😂? I am sure you are garnering a lot of respect from the locals especially your willingness to get dirty as well as your humble persona. Thanks!

[@marieastwood5016]

Salute to K Daots"s worker very hardworking and creative. That's why Filipinos are hard workers proud of you guys,👍🌈I.love your Tiny Bahay Kubo, very cool and you can relax to live for few days or as long you want. Funny for running headband 😄😄😄 hahahah. You are funny K Daot with that power wash.

Wow! Kumander D, I am so amazed & incredibly impressed on how you fully adapt perfectly the Pilipino culture, it’s way of living. It’s just very inspiring for me being a Philippine born grandma but been away from my birth country for almost 50 years. You speak the local dialect without hesitation unlike other bloggers who don’t attempt to use the language/dialect. I learned so much just watching your videos. You have very hardworking people around & I’m hoping this time you will be very successful & that these workers will be loyal & respect you. You & Kulas are great together, excellent dynamics. Stay safe & healthy. God Bless you always KD. 🙂🇵🇭❤️🇺🇸

Great worker you have there Kumander, tell them we viewers are in awe of their honest to goodness work and hope that help will come their way sooner or later. In our place by the way, Baguio, City, we reinforce our houses perimeter with big rocks, and stack them one after another like what your workers are doing, we call it Kabite. Since no rocks in your place mud is okay.
