PEACEFUL BASILAN! Filipino Muslims and Christians Live Together Here! (Mindanao, Philippines)

[@whoisperfect_no1.381]

KD, you cant just Imagine how much I appreciate all your efforts in featuring Basilan in your content. Believe me even the Abu Sayyaf would not even dare mess with you because they now you have a pure heart...with nothing but good intention...Hope and wish that DOT would reward you with Philippine Citizenship...as a token of appreciation in what you do.....

[@teklaanddagul2468]

You really get into the different diverse cultures. Respecting, taking part, showing others, enjoying the true heart of the Filipino spirit. And consequently you also enhance the lives of people you meet. Thank you, KD! 💓

[@deborahswain9414]

I'm happy for you kumander daot. You Love Philippines so much. I subscribe with you all the time.Philippines is beautiful country ❤ very relaxing.

[@paolobythesea4481]

while sharing and exposing such an amazing filipino subculture not many are familiar with, what a phenomenal experience for you, the locals and for us your dedicated viewers to learn so much by osmosis and through your lenses. thanks a million Anselm!

[@carlomancao1067]

Wew im glad basilan is peaceful now. Basilan is very different back then. Thaks

[@christopherturco197]

Lots of good vibes, Kumander. Somehow, I think that there would be no difference in how people behaved there, even if they weren't celebrating their fiestas. So many good and kind people there. Glad to see Langgas Island the way it is - so unspoiled and pristine. Maybe it's better that they haven't been inundated with tourists all these years. Long live Daot!

[@jjp844]

Together w your friend Kulas, the videos you upload are really quite different from the other visitors that we have here in 'pinas. And I love it. It really brings Pinoys together. It reminds us that we are just one nation. Thank you. Always ingat on your adventures, Kumander.

[@silvanomanuel2589]

Kumander you are respected in all parts of Mindanao, we are proud of you.

[@teresitacampagna4960]

Another amazing series of vlogs - from Siargao to Maluso. So many beautiful places and local cultures that in my lifetime I'll never get the chance to experience. Thank you for the wonderful tours. It's so fascinating how well you interact with the locals. By mastering the local dialect you have naturally blended with the Filipinos. It's always a pleasure watching your vlogs. Looking forward to more vlogs.

[@trisix7091]

wow! beautiful island, smiling people, the food. I wish there's no conflict anymore so we and the foreign tourist can go there freely. imagine the job that will create there for the natives and locals. haay......

[@trueblood896]

This is what i love about your vlogs. They are very educational and eye opening. I just love it. No matter where we are from, we are all human beings and we share the same planet together with all God's creation.

[@osiarap]

Amazing encounter! You're different, so unique than the others for you immerse yourself unabashedly. God bless you.

[@constantinoaumentado8973]

Really awesome people. Muslims is our brother I do bow my head onto them

[@LilyGWard]

Amazing mix of cultures in Isabela and loving this series of yours in Basilan. Even though we’ve seen some in Kulas’ vlog, it’s still nice to see your different video about that beautiful island. Great that you were there during their fiesta. 😊

[@jc-vj3ie]

What a beautifull stunning island. If only peace is reigning that place it could be the most beautiful destination in the world. Its just a glimpse that this vlog showed to us. To many wonderful islands in jolo,siase ,tawi2 part. Way much better than maldives. I pray and hope that thoose bandits will recourse their life and embrace peace. Thank you kumader daot for always showcasing how beautiful the mindanao it is.

[@whoisperfect_no1.381]

[@orlandonecesito4904]

I thought the island of Basilan is about 95% Muslim populated. I never expected it is very diversed in religion and culture. Many thanks KD.

[@KumanderDaot]

The cities are very diverse 🙂

[@lenylubiano6300]

thank you for visiting our place kumander( aq po ung nagpa picture sau hehe)

[@randyragasa6774]

They look so happy to be in the video, i like the spirit of my kababayan, love from ilocos.. stay happy...

[@jovitagibson5567]

Kumander Daot, komusta? I love watching you interacting with my kababayans over there in the Philippine islands. That Langgas island is very interesting island formation. From the air scenery, it looks like there is a lake within a small island, not knowing if is a natural mangrove. It is nice that the maintain the natural habitat of the island, & not turned into a tourist money making schemes.Thanks for bringing us along in your travels to the most remotely places in the southern most islands in the Philippines. Now, you can really witness it yourself how truly friendly the filipinos are? I noticed that the poorest of the poor in our filipino society are the most friendly bunch of people! I love them all! Sometimes, I just wish I could visit some of those places, and give each one of them a gift of some kind, just to brighten their days! If I win the lottery, I will ! It's a promise! Watching from British Columbia, Canada.

[@jovitagibson5567]

i meant, they maintain the natural habitat of Langgas island.

[@KumanderDaot]

I really love how they've maintained the natural habitat 🙂 I'm doing well thanks, how are you?

[@jovitagibson5567]

Kumander D., I have sent a little surprise for you thru the balikbayan box that I sent for Kulas ( Kyle), to Cateel. Sorry, that it will take 2 1/2 mos., before you guys will get it. It was shipped in the middle of July /22. Thanks.

[@charlietaclendo4641]

Anselm, you are most familiar with the people in Basilan than any other familiar artists of the country. (Better to say Anselmo, easy to hear by Pinoys). The best thing you are doing in Basilan is the prone video. People are eager to see and appreciate. Thanks Anselmo. Thanks Basilan.

[@humminbird6990]

Wow,, this island is indeed a Paradise Island. My dream and wish one day I will visit Sulu.

Basilan is very beautiful place. Why escorted by military and tourism, is it required to visit Basilan?

[@KumanderDaot]

It's a good idea as a foreigner. Nobody knows what could happen. It's a precaution because nothing bad has happened for a few years. But you never know. But you won't notice that you're being escorted, it's very subtle

[@zackyfleibel7043]

it's not the religion that causing the problem it's the people, politics, and money !! some goverment official high ranking one wants some finance from the governent, they only way to get that supply of cash by causing a problem in the most populated muslim areas, because throughout the world the muslims pictured as terrorist.

What is the mode of communication of the people of Basilan? Is it Tagalog, Bisaya or Chavacano? Like when the people go to a restaurant, how to they talk to the waiter? Do they talk in Tagalog, Bisaya or Chavacano?
