MY JOURNEY TO SULU (Is It Safe?)

THIS IS MY JOURNEY TO SULU.
Is it safe? Let's find out!
From Davao to Zamboanga to Jolo - this is an introduction to Tausug culture, the beauty of the island province, and so much more!
It was a unique feeling to hold a ferry ticket going to Jolo. I had to read it a few times, to convince myself this was really happening.
Sulu, a province with a history of unrest and conflict, has recently opened up to tourism. It has been declared free from the ASG which put off visitors for many years - so let's dig deeper, and see what we find!
I had a couple of days in Zamboanga first, so we also explored there - something I like to do, as you can see the cultural links to the islands past it.
IMPORTANT - DO NOT GO TO SULU UNLESS YOU COORDINATE FIRST WITH THE SULU PROVINCIAL TOURISM OFFICE. THIS IS MANDATORY.

IMPORTANT IF YOU ARE THINKING OF GOING TO SULU You MUST contact the Sulu Provincial Tourism Office first. That is their protocol, not to mention it has only just been opened for tourism. DIY Trips are not allowed! Also... they are awesome and will arrange everything for you. Very very helpful!

[@lynamus]

[@DrewsTravels]

The legend of Travel Vloggers. Thank you Anselm for the inspiration to create Drew's Travels, documenting province life in rural Leyte. Life in the Philippines provinces is tough, the Filipinos may be poor, yet they are always resilient, smiling and forever welcoming to the traveller.

[@johnsarip5316]

[@loyspark]

You are one of a kind, Kumander. You explore areas others are afraid of. And thanks for showing this beautiful Sulu. Ayaw paminawa ng mga negative nga komento sa uban ara. Wa ra nay mahimo. 😂

[@mtnluvr]

Wow. I thought travelling to Sulu was dangerous. People, mostly foreighner were being kidnapped o murdered. Thanks Kumander Daot for showing us the new Sulu.

[@YeshaTutuh-to8rw]

[@piniritongoctoartzDRP]

Nice travel buddies mate! Maayong Gabii nimo dha Kumander

[@angeltaloyo9791]

. You provide Filipinos a window to the unseen beauty of a region of the Philippines generally associated with strife and violence. You are a pioneer for all Filipinos, domestic and abroad, to see a part of our country that has been drilled in our heads as dangerous and unfriendly. You provide excellent service to the Philippines and its people with authentic love, curiosity, and observation. You open a door of reconciliation, allowing Filipinos to be united and to love one another more. You inspire me to return and contribute to the further development of the Philippines. Thank you for your excellent insight into the videos you create. I thank you for this.

[@goy7303]

Nindot mga beach diha

[@tinaraphael9783]

[@drone-ph]

Amazing outcome of Peace and Order Sulu😮😲❤🎉

[@jimcainglet]

Awesome!

[@shirgo5700]

Zamboanga and that region was my mother's home town. I miss hearing Chavacano because my both my mom and her family are mostly gone or too far away.

[@Googlemarsplanet]

Thank you for your hard work producing another great video, can’t wait till the next one , the world 🌎 is a beautiful place , in uk our government tell us not to travel there , ? Why ? Live in London if you dare ! See my point !

[@Eclectic.Nostalgia]

good vlog. you remind me of kulas' good vibes

[@betchnerarizo6930]

Wow... Amazing place...

[@aprilsvlog3815]

I love this Episode 😊😊😊 cus you and your lovely wife travel together ❤️ 💕 😊

[@cantonchannel2073]

amazing ❤

[@omynurse]

One day. maybe. I'll visit this place again also. The last time I was here in Jolo was more than two decades ago. That is if I'll have a chance to. I'm happy to see you both made it and back safely too. Sorry I could not be with you on your way back. Just had a very Daot week. Plus, all of my footage went kaput because my phone went Daot. Including the one's in the airport and at the hotel.

[@user-rs6wj4pz8p]

I hope the sulu can be developed further🇵🇭

[@NeoKrypton21]

Hey Ansel, you look good looking and great with your hair cut. Gwapo! Lodi! hehehe. Enjoy and take care always, Man. God Bless.

[@calroach1]

Wow I lived right across the street from the mosque in Tumaga. As an American I never felt any danger.

[@mariayssabellelovemarajo8207]

What a beautiful place.......❤❤❤❤

[@nelsonlomod9601]

Sulu is safe because kumander brought along the wife.

[@nhelplummer]

Yes, yes! 😄

[@mylahbarreto5265]

Interesting place!

[@biboyumandar1538]

White Sand Beach plus Blue Water is a perfect combination.

[@rafylobits150]

its nice to colab with your wifey kumander ..

[@AkilezNewEngland]

American People should watch this Vlog about Sulu. They always portray Muslims in the Arab World but forget about the Muslims in Southeast Asia. The diversity of the Muslim Culture from Women wearing the full Burga, Semi-Burqa or t-shirt and jeans only and Freedom to be Free. Thank you Daot.

[@agnesfetters]

Beautiful white sand beach.

[@waylingawtv3347]

Wow parang Maldives Yung beach ang gqanda😍😍😍

[@nhelplummer]

True!

[@yamacal1589]

Good 👍 the wife is with you

[@glennrk8249]

It's almost a whole different world in terms of....a disbelieve...the fact that you cannot just travel to a certain part of the country....now, I know there several countries as wel with the same limitations like in South America or Africa...but since that I don't have a connection with those regions, it feels differently towards the Philippines.....I'm born here...but feels awkward that this is the reality....it's not imaginable or comparable...but Nort-and South Korea probably the best example.....I don't know.....but on topic. It's a good thing Anselm is showcasing this trip.....but les us not exaggerate that it is now all good. There is still a long way to go people!

[@bnmys6724]

Sharas cafe, just near the MPW 1st district engineering office of BARMM

[@nightwing4065]

4:35 WHOA, that's a very unique Mosque. I do hope the "rainbow" doesn't represent anything, if you know what I mean.

[@einryms8335]

It is associated with the colorful/rainbow color vinta (boat) that zamboanga is famous long before the rainbow is associated the lgbm community

[@jetbisayaadventures1437]

When there was a foreigner kidnapped and murdered it was spreading very badly for one or two that had happened, it literally killed the rest of the good things about the places and people and it included that whole Mindanao , without understanding or accepting it , that’s when Mindanao got the bad reputation. Besides the wrong assumption about Mindanao,the Muslims was left being judged as bad people and it was all wrong to think they are as bad news was spreading in Manila, so majority of people in the Philippines believed it was true. Now it is heading towards good perceptions ,good news and the bad stories are disseminating and disappearing, maybe when former Pres. Duterte took actions and give attentions to the Muslims people how to treat them, visiting them and even brought their leaders to Malacanang Palace where the President resides or meet officials ,the peace, the smiles and friendliness of Muslims and all other unknown group of ethnicity was given attention ,the welcoming from these people from other places, other country begun to grow and thrive now thanks to Pres. DUTERTE ,we now able to visit those places without fear and worries instead we each other treating as one Filipinos. With KD doing it as well , it’s all good! Hurray peace to Mindanao and to all Filipinos in the Philippines!

[@taboy_tv]

Kumander, what is the youtube channel of your Tausug friend Al?

[@KumanderDaot]

It's called "Omynurse"

[@Will67267]

it is the safest part of the Philippines.

[@acquisitium]

[@BoyPickup]

2:41 KD violated his own "bawal 'GUYS' " rule :D

[@KumanderDaot]

Well spotted 🤣

[@MrDAHSIN]

In Isabela I saw a sign saying "aso lang pwede umihi dito" 😂

[@seaweedhero1707]

0:23 Baka Dinuguan? Manok Dinuguan?

[@mrq8402]

They need to clean up their towns like in Malaysia or Brunei if they want to attract tourists.

[@emman2702]

U compare an island to rich and progressive country.how about tell the government to stop corruption.atleast we here in mindanao never resort to eating pag pag

[@pempscabana3047]

Hi Kumander DON'T go too much farther to critical areas some places there may not be friendly

[@rednaxelahcitorfaznebo2830]

If the Philippines continues to be peaceful, it will be very progressive country like Malaysia where Muslims and Christians respect one another's religion.

[@michaelamontemayor448]

Plus a strong man like the ex President Rodrigo Roa Duterte. Lee Kuan yew of Singapore. Pinoys are pasaway society. They need to be disciplined.

[@Jurgenmeoff]

I love this, such exotic locales. I don’t mean to be crass, but does all this street food ever cause intestinal issues? KD must have a stomach of steel. I would be sweating and looking for a toilet!

[@KumanderDaot]

I've not had any issues with the street food... It's always well cooked 😀

[@sirhcapor1380]

1st tym with ur wife in a vlog🫰🥰

[@trisix7091]

look at that beach!!! more beautiful than boracay. if only they promote it and focus on tourism? making tourist safe to visit. im sure people there will generate more income, more job opportunities for locals, local businesses, hotels and resorts. just imagine. for sure they will not go back to the old days, old ways. they will love tourist more than terrorist.

[@MySmallWorld.]

Sulu is very Safe and We love to see Freedom of Palestine...

[@jondelarosa-xo8tp]

How is the internet connection?

[@KumanderDaot]

Some places have starlink which is great, data is slow though
