As you said, even with the blackouts, it was such a great day :) It makes me really happy to know you’re enjoying the videos.

I'm loving the longer, as-it-happens, local immersion vlogs. Power on and live, not for tomorrow, but for today! * You met more friendly locals who are so giving. * That epic sunset at 15:07 was stunning (my new computer background), and, * Despite the loss of power (twice) the Filipino's really know how to adapt and just go on with life. Here in the states we'd be angry and find anything/anyone to blame.

I like how you interacted with the locals in Moalboal. There are two vloggers, Becoming a Filipino and Kumander Daut, who are based in Mindanao. They have become very close with the people in the community. By the way, Becoming a Filipino is a Canadian and Kumander Daut is also a British like you

[@gramirez72]

Yes, Mergim, _Kumander Daot_ , aka Anselm, is a Brit, I’m not sure if he’s Scottish, I hear a hint of the accent but he seems to have that Scottish intonation, and he’s quite boisterous and funny. Anyway, he speaks fluent Visaya, been living in Mindanao for a while now. Here’s one of his videos: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2Gze5qYi9dplc0

out of all the incoming foreign vloggers here in PH, Mergim is the most underrated atleast for me. Quality content as usual. You may not able to obtain more subscribers as fast as the others but I am pretty sure that it is because others viewers may not able to come across your to you rchannel yet due to youtube algorithm or something. I am 100% sure, 100k subscribers is fast approaching, then 200k then 1 Mil, just be consistent and keep uploading quality contents. We will support you all the way. 😇

[@graceantonio3573]

This is great! Plenty Filipinos are talented in music, singing & having a band, having a good time with friends specialy at a beach is commonplace. As one politician once said "Filipinos are happy people, jus give them their food & their music & freedom to worship GOD & all is well." The simple life in the privince is good, I grew up in the province, in Negros Island as I am from Bacolod City, it wasn't a posh life but I missed it so much when I was already here in Manila as my mom moved here for me to study in college, in the island of Luzon, I got to see beaches & provinces here but I would have pangs of "sentimental longing" for the province where I came from, but of course through years of living in "Manila" --by that I don't mean Manila City itself, its how we commonly refer to being in Luzon or the city life in any place or district of Luzon, bcoz I lived in Makati & then in Paranaque, then we moved again to live in Las Pinas, a district refered to as in the south of Luzon. I grew up in the province seeing & experiencing that scene you jus showed. Its great!

[@badlongon525]

Cebuanos and Bisaya people can really speak in English, I mean not just know English, but they can really talk confidently in English. That's why a lot of tourist go there coz they can communicate well with the locals. plus they are really really warm and friendly which tourists love.

[@RihannaCarlaMorgan]

Is it true they prefer speaking English than Tagalog?

[@badlongon525]

@@RihannaCarlaMorgan yup coz they're probably shy that their strong visayan accent will be ridiculed which isn't always the case with English given that foreigners arent particularly keen or mindful of the visayan accent.

Thanks for this video, Mergim. Really missing the beach vibes, just chillin to some music with a few drinks. I noticed when you bought the Coke in a glass bottle the lady was saying to place/transfer the contents in a plastic container with straw. This is usually because small stores would return the bottles back and when you bring the bottle they would ask you for a small deposit and they'll return the money once you return the bottle. Anyway, keep your videos coming and make the most of your stay in Moalboal. Cheers!

I love the fact that even with no electricity you found the resilience of Filipinos.. Especially during Brown Out(No electricity). We normally gather around a candle/light to share stories, share a song together and share a beer or meal or snack. The way you are going most likely you will have a fun and great experience here, especially if you are so approachable. -Even if you don't know the song, you can just share the moment and vibe. Thats also something that is prominent here in the Philippines, we are kindof like a singing culture.
