PARADISE FOUND? Foreigner Explores Mystical Hidden Caragan Valley in Davao (Mindanao, Philippines)

[@elizabethbueno1896]

You got nice content not covered by the other vloggers. Your channel will really grow. You are a natural story teller.

[@dannynicart2389]

KD, you have the gift to be a good storyteller. Keep it up!

[@LuckyRain0rig]

Right? I say that, too. 🙊🧚🏼‍♀️👍

[@eloisebernardo1231]

Wow a very good vlogger and a great storyteller. The content is very educational talagang pinag isipan.

[@floranteguron3513]

Mountain roads n Mountain communities never seize to amaze me. Born n raised in PH n never in my dreams discovering places like these... thanks KD! Superb vlogging keep it up...

[@JourneyTogetherPH]

Ang galing diba!

[@paultejido9691]

I am a Filipino and living my entire life here in the Philippines but I didn’t know such place, I didn’t realize how big Philippine is until kumander Daot showed it thru his lenses, good job

[@odinson9686]

Same size in terms of square mileage as my country Norway, but 20 times as much people!

[@joseaballe4422]

Because he has enough money to travel around in the Philippines, unlike us that we have first to think if our budget can do such thing. Many of us including me are outdoor lovers, pero uunahin muna natin ang iba pang mga mas mamahalang bagay na pag-gagastusan.

[@joseaballe4422]

I've been there twice as a mountaineer hiking in forests more than 20 years ago and I'm sure there's plenty of changes nowadays in that beautiful place.

[@rignacio9586]

Time to visit and explore your own country!

[@laidzleyson45]

Korek I can only fully tour my own barangay😂😂😂

[@aclau7]

You’re the first KZbinr featured the caragan valley place kumander. Well done. I wanna go back to Aguacan though.

[@josefinacordero6112]

As usual, stunning drone shots from your vlog docu. You are truly Kumander Daot, the Explorer

[@lheckiboy9259]

The school deserves some support, it would be nice project if we (the community ) get together and share some of our blessing through kumander. whatchu think guys?

[@alanbularon7732]

Now this vlogging with CINEMATIC touch! PERFECT!!

[@JourneyTogetherPH]

Any galing po diba. So refreshing sa mata

[@greysg14]

@Alan Bularon Kumander Daot is into photography before he became a vlogger.

[@christopherturco197]

So special to see this beautiful, isolated valley before it changes. As you say, with the new road will come great changes, not only for the natural environment, but also for the people. I truly appreciate that you've made it possible for us to see this as it is now! 💯👍 Aloha at Mabuhay! 🤙

[@lourdesamosco993]

Glad to see this beautiful scenery, without Kumander D , I was not able to see this one , being a Filipino I’m proud of you Kumander D for exploring the beautiful place in the Country thank you.

[@rg3746]

No doubt, you're beginning to be very good in documentary type of vlogging. Kudos to you.

[@NickyDunn]

The beginning. Lol. You crack me up. Wow. Amazing drone footage. Your such a great storyteller. Another enjoyable video. Cool tunes. Good vibes. Thank you for sharing. Have a great week. To you. And Nhel. And your fur babies.

[@ZebraFacts]

If you speak English only, this is by far, the best KZbin channel today, in the Philippines. These videos are the kind of videos that you will probably save or go back to as a reference to discovering The Philippines, especially Mindanao.

[@timyongmd]

Salute to you Kumander Daot. You know more of the Philippine geography than most of us Filipinos. it's a shame that we learn this from a foreigner who found love in this country. I love your narrative style with touch of humor. Very entertaining and educational! Please keep on! Thanks for showing us arround our own backyard!

[@jackledesma9960]

KD you're bocoming more like mike corey/fearless and far of BBC only he's international but then you are the renown kumander daot of davao region. You have a way of your own which makes me wanna say you're unbelievably amazing!!!!

[@gee7436]

Even just from the video, I can feel some of what captivated you about that valley. It’s a special place for sure.

[@RobsDaily]

My hometown ... Maragusan a member of Mansaka Tribe.

[@denzelray1]

Born to be a storyteller. Always amazing content.

[@luchiegacis1249]

Kumander D, You vlog like an experienced documentary presenter. The music and video complement each other as in the movie. I enjoy and look forward to your vlogs.

[@lemuelnazareth7210]

Thanks for bringing us to these places that are not visited too often. And thanks for bringing their stories out to us.

[@lauralberg156]

Amazing how you bring these places to life!!! 👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@apteryxmantelli]

Your deep explorations to the untreaded paths are very educational. You reach audiences who never get out of their homes and never know about other places in their own homeland. Thank you, KD, for sharing your trips. You're a really excellent storyteller. Keep up the good work

[@artatitsbest7434]

Ang galing mo Kumander... Excellent storytelling voice, very good editing.. Keep it up

[@lancegomez384]

Great job Kumander keep up the good work,all the best>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[@bryanbanogon4261]

Kumander! You may have not find your mossy forest but I think you found a chance to explore anew location which I have never seen before and I was jaw-dropped by the scenic beauty of those places! Very awesome Kumander!

[@noblewarrior1887]

This is a great vlog @Kumander Daot. National Geographic level presentation 👏👏👏 I watched this without skipping the ads .. and i watched this twice 😁. This area is similar to the Cordillera Region of the Northern Luzon although less mountainous. The mountains are also lower and easier to navigate than those in the Cordillera. The Caragan valley is wide and awesome, almost like those in fantasy movies. The musical score when you enter the valley ( time 6:30) is dope 👍 .. like the one use in GOT 😁 Nice one KD!

[@evrianjohnojaurigue1610]

Kumander D ,YOUR VERY WELCOME TO OUR PLACE IN MARAGUSAN YOU ARE OUR FRIEND

[@nelsulbentad6100]

Kumander Daut just go,go and explore!! You came to my hometown new bataan!! Its good that you have a nice drone shoot..

[@barrygilbert1002]

Amazing road trip and beautiful drone shots over the mountainous area of Davao De Oro you have Kumander. 👍👌

[@carlitosarinas5466]

Good day commander d grand pop always watching your blogs happy to see the new places You discover

[@loliapo1224]

Background music as well

[@Neal_only1]

So beautiful these areas and once again your narrations are very spot on. You have a voice that projects well. It reminds me of Leonard Nimoy in how well it projects. He was a great narrator also. Power on

[@pinaylp4174]

hello po, new viewers here,..mega like sent with a greeting from Chicago USA and Bukidnon,Mindanao,Philippines..always take care po

[@haydeeobedoza8313]

Kumander Daut im so greatful of your vlogs in Maragusan wherein we were able to see the nice infrastructure of the newly completed roads and your vlogs so informative we appreciated your effort to make us know how wonderful the lives of the Mandaya... In the Philippines

[@JackOBryan]

It's awesome when a plan doesn't come together....and something even MORE AWESOME happens.

[@marilynlariba6443]

Wow what a stunning mountain drone shots Kumander D I love & enjoy it 😊 thank you for making an effort to bring us this kind of place which is absolutely beautiful 🙏🙏👍👍

[@corazonstites5207]

Nice sight seeing, beautiful view in the middle of nowhere ! Loved it !

[@zjm4130]

[@densword6940]

Stunning view. That sea of clouds is so amazing. Another great video Kumander D

[@einnorodrajaf4803]

You're s good narrator Kumander 👍👍👍🇵🇭🇬🇧

[@junamatsumoto8368]

Helps you in a therapeutic way but your visits in these remote places are gems of blessings to us who lived in cities and a little bit off than they that don’t have basic needs like electricity and the like. Thanks for creating an awareness. God bless you sir!

[@SuperPimpmylife]

I never skip an ad everytime I watch your videos. I love your contents and this is the only way I can support you. More blessings, Kumander!

[@조명수-f2l]

Drone shot wow na wow kumander

[@lissafoster]

I miss your UK vlogs but this is equally awesome. The food vlog is always interesting , And you saved the best part for last! Hahahaha. Look at you, 100k subscribers! Congrats, Anselm! 👏🏻 🎊🎉🍾🎈

[@KumanderDaot]

Hope I can be back here again soon!

[@royduncan173]

Good Morning Kumander

[@LevAgency]

What's truly sad - KUMANDER - is that you don't see a BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY right in front of you... {VEGETABLES} - "the Prices Are HIGH in the CITY, and Low Here" THE WOMAN told you - all you need to do is set up a "CSA-type" system or just become a VEGETABLE DISTRIBUTOR - buy a van with a COOLER - drive out buy the vegetables at wholesale, and bring them to the city.. I'll bet you'd have half the VAN sold over FACEBOOK and to KZbin - locals before you'd even get back to the city.

[@pdr09091972]

Keep making amazing blogs brother

[@KumanderDaot]

@@LevAgency those middlemen are incredibly powerful, that's the issue. They have a LOT of control and they are not very nice to those who try to undercut them. Otherwise I would love to truck veggies. I've looked at doing it before. It's just... Cut-throat, sometimes.

[@saudauy6721]

Am a 75 year old follower of Zamboanga City. YOU are right, its not proper to do business re; the vegetables because this will give yiu enemies. I AGREE the Middle men dont like it. Anyway you ate happy exploring and still earning from your vlogs. You are friendly and respectful and thats what the natives like. Take care....

[@valarmorghulis8139]

Spectacular view. I remember my hometown in another island that have same view. But I agree with you KD that it is a mystical valley.

[@rosalierebolledo8009]

Wow! Wow! Another story with a substance..

[@yteduser]

I just can't get over the fact that a foreighner is making me discover many beautiful places in my home country. Thank you, KD. Kudos to your beautiful vlogs of Mindanao. National Geographic-worthy always.

[@lily0423pretty]

Breathe-taking view! Thanks Kumander D.

[@robertokapulong8380]

How We are so blessed by so many natural beautiful places here in the Philippines most especially Mindanao. Thanks to these Foreigners most especial mention to "KU

[@WinnieSantos-er5kz]

Nice blog, kumander daot. Your improving. 👏👏👏

[@aminahforever4277]

Really mystical, as you said. That valley including those sea of clouds are very similar to some parts of the Cordilleras in Northern Luzon. Thank you so much for exposing beautiful and interesting places in Mindanao, KD. Surely,we don’t just see things, your videos are equally educational. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@1lolofred]

Thank you Kumander for a trip of a lifetime.a place I would have never known existed and I am an 80 year old Filipino. You found your calling, and it gives you peace and internal healing..I am sure the rest of your followers will join you in every step of your journey. Be safe and God travel with you.

[@jeanvarela3903]

Such a beautiful place! Thank you for sharing Kumander D. Again, your video is awesome!

[@fayefaye_4908]

Wow ang ganda ng landscape.

[@michaelrobles5401]

thanks for showing this remote places kumander and maybe some concern government agencies will hear the cry of the people in this area about not having electricity,maybe through your vlog thier cry for electricity will be heard more power kumander D...

[@alfredocasanova4510]

Don't worry Sir, Maragusan is a first class municipality, they are not short of connections anyway. For sure this problem has already been figured out for resolution by the LGU, the mayor knows what is good for the people. I have trust in them, irrespective of political groups, as I haven't heard of any local official in Maragusan involved in corruption eversince. Salamat po.

[@kramt32]

I am very impressed by your drone footages. You leveled up you drone game to a new level. Keep up the great work Kumander

[@puravelasco8653]

Kumander D, your blog is an excellent snapshot of the Compostela Valley or Davao de Oro. I’m glad that you featured a female vegetable grower and that you showed us the potential dangers of road building on the mountainous areas of Davao de Oro. 🌺🌸🌺

[@gingerj5718]

woooww very nice view!!!!

[@jmomandia]

There is really so much still to discover in Mindanao!!! All Filipinos should watch your vlogs.

[@lindaangeles-hill3014]

So similar to Bhutan, albeit with lower mountains. Beautiful!

[@maryjeanmacabenta5190]

U can see the sunset very seldom in maragusan. I was living there almost 3yrs of my job...but I miss that place so much ❤️

[@vickypalod3860]

OMG, Absolutely beautiful and serene views. I love it when you take adventures like this. Another majestic discoveries.

[@rosequiling9666]

That place in Phils is perfect for you. Love the Philippines.♥️

[@rosendotorreon7809]

Beautiful place is a good place to live thanks Kumander to showcase these part of Mindanao

[@tinaraphael9783]

Another amazing discovery for K awesome very nice place ang friendly people. Thanks again K stay safe.

[@teoparco8362]

exploring beyond davao reach and its communities unknown to us, good road developments for accessibility,,,, -- daot gid,,, ayo ayo lang!!!!

[@alfredocasanova4510]

KD, this is indeed a very rare video which many are waiting for decades. Have stayed in Maragusan many times, but the local people told us very limited facts about Caragan Valley, as it is restricted to some degrees for the mansaka only, aside from being so inaccessible. But now YOU HAVE DONE IT!!! What a documentary achievement, you are the first to do this cover story with matching videos, and you deserve the highest award from the people and the Phil Govt. Salamat gyud kaayo.

[@einnorodrajaf4803]

The girl who took your picture is beautiful ❤ Bsgay kayo 😀😀😀

[@mikemikie8312]

Anselm . you go to places no one else has ever Vlogged ,that's why I like your channel so much fantastic valley untouched take care and thanks for the ride . :-)
