[@jessiesantiago7994]

Thanks!

[@natehovee]

Thanks a million, Jessie!! Your contributions and support definitely mean a lot, and I hope you'll enjoy the projects I've got in the works.

[@jessiesantiago7994]

I've watched the full Siquijor grand tour. It's worthy of National Geographic quality. Outstanding video.

[@natehovee]

What a compliment! Thank you!!!

[@teresitamacaraeg1469]

Siquijor is a beautiful place.Thank you for featuring this island.

[@natehovee]

Thank you!!

[@bobskie1175]

As always, well done video, Nate! Siquijor is beautiful and pretty inexpensive to visit, yet lots of picturesque and beautiful spots to offer. Your presentation is always the best around !!!

[@natehovee]

This is incredibly heartwarming, and I greatly appreciate your kindness and support. I'll look forward to seeing you at the next premiere! 😊

[@KnightSword0110]

Im planning to visit Siquirjo from Panglao, and i would stay in Siquirjo for one week. Is it a long time there?

[@bobskie1175]

@@KnightSword0110: It depends on what you intend to do. Siquijor is a small island and practically you can finish sightseeing and beach hopping in 2 days. If you intend to make it a relaxing vacation, 1 week is I think more than enough. Siquijor is getting to be popular destination now.

[@jenniferbee8159]

I saw you have internet line. What is the speed please?

[@michellelorabrewington6254]

Siquijor island very beautiful ❤❤❤

[@theswedishfilipinofamily9349]

Maayong Hapon (in Philippines) maayong buntag (from Sweden) Siquior is a dream destination for me, will probably go there with my Filipino family in the end of February, any special recommendations during that period? Keep up the great work . Mabuhay

[@themediterraneanguy]

Philippines riches is really in the hearts of Filipinos. Life here is very slow moving, relaxed atmosphere, not competing or digging deeper , it means take your time and you will get there. MUST BE PATIENT to find your happiness.

[@shirylvernaiz9114]

Thanks Nate! I am from Siquijor and currently working here in the US. You did well with those practical tips when visiting the island. It has been years that I have not been home. I am quite surprise on how much tourism has improved. Although, I surely miss the island the way it was when I was growing up. Keep up the good work!

[@natehovee]

Thank you, and I send my best wishes your way from across the Pacific! I hope you can return soon for a visit. 😊

[@mariloutangon8526]

Hi Nate really appreciate how you made all this research and happy to know all this tips and other videos of Siquijor Island. Im from Siquijor but currently working in manila. Every two years i visit my kid and family in my island of Siquijor. Thank you so much and have a great time as always

[@janetceniza8091]

husband speaking age 80 - missed the live, was scraping my deck so my wife can paint it. She enjoys rolling the paint and I would " hate " to spoil her fun. She just got back to Wash. State June 19th from 2 months at our home on Mactan Island. She had to get and train a new maid to watch over the house and our 3 little kids, Chicko, Mocha and TinTin- she also added 3 new AC units to the house, picked up a new car - a 2021 Mitsubishi ( excuse the spelling ) She already has our tickets for our return this Nov. thru the end of March 2024. Very nice video and the many good tips.

[@natehovee]

Thanks so much for this, and it's a pleasure to hear from you. I wish you and your wife a safe and enjoyable journey back to the Philippines later this year.

[@mariaethelytaylor2736]

As always, wonderful video in showing the beauty of the island of Siquijor. The tips are very helpful even to a person like me who is not from the local area.Keep up the good work. Thank you so much.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@natehovee]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for the kind support, Maria!!

[@user-rc6mf2mx5k]

Thank You Nate for promoting the island Siquijor

[@whitewave16]

[@natehovee]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for your kind words, and I hope to see you at the next premiere. 😊

[@David-jn4fx]

Grr Nate! 😍 I’ll come soon enough! Love it. Wonderful tips! Always have to be safe!!

[@natehovee]

Thanks a bunch, David! 😀

[@benburns5995]

Hi Nate, thanks for this helpful video about 10 tips for Visitors to Siquijor Island. I often wonder how the local people survive around the intermittent power outages. It has to be challenging keeping food safe, in the warm climate, with the extended outages. The Family run Roadside Restaurants seem to be a big hit with good food at affordable prices. The friendliness of the local people is a big hit as well in the Philippines. Thanks for also including the 3 bonus tips towards the end. I especially liked the Scuba diving tip with the awesome footage of you swimming in the beautiful Coral and the school of fishing below you. Have to ask, what type of fish were in the school below you? With all of the helpful information and the way you connect with your audience, always make for a great video and viewing experience.

[@natehovee]

Thank you so much, Ben!! As always, your thoughtful remarks are most appreciated, as is your constant support for my channel. 😊

[@reineyangson5900]

How many days do we need to visit all the places you mentioned

[@fallingforthephilippines6834]

Did we understand you correctly, you've lived on Siquijor the past year? I've always said I want to make Siquijor my home island, I fell in love with the island in 2016 when we stayed at Coco Grove. Since then we've been there many times since we live in Dauin, near Dumaguete City just an hour +/- away on a ferry. Great tips! Especially the one on ATM for new expats, those are such a common mistake new expats make! Thanks for such great videos! Hope your channel blows up, you do such a great job!

[@natehovee]

Thank you!! I've thought about featuring Dumaguete in a future video.. I've had wonderful visits in the past, and yes, Siquijor is indeed an enchanting island. I miss it, for sure.

[@eugenejavillo3493]

Great video. Planning a trip there later this year. The next time you visit Luzon, check out out Zambales and Batangas. Are there any fishing boats youd recommend in Siquijor? 🎣 🐟It's one of my favorite activities when i travel around the Philippines. See you in November 🤙

[@natehovee]

Wonderful! I hope you have an amazing trip. I'm not aware of any specific fishing boats that offer fishing opportunities for visitors, but when you arrive on the island, I'd ask around San Juan, especially near the public market. You can also check with staff at your hotel/ resort, as they may likely have connections.

They often play reggae on their portable giant speakers, and they're super cheap.
