PHILIPPINES MOST BEAUTIFUL SECRET? Bucas Grande Sohoton Adventure

SOHOTON, on Bucas Grande Island near Siargao.
This is a real pearl of the Philippines.
Maybe it's the Philippines' most beautiful secret?
And it was an adventure getting here from the mainland of Mindanao, rather than from Siargao, as most tourists pass!

Those jelly fish reminded of my child hood in Cebu. Jelly Fish fight with my friends. Thanks for the vid.

[@thethirdiii]

You're lucky buddy.. Maybe this island never been explored by any vlogger except you.. The road trip of any youtubers out there is so boring if they cannot explore deeply the places.. The youtubers out there must emulate the style of your adventure like what you've done to this part of your series videos.. If ever youtube ask questions or recommendation again to me i will recommend this a very interesting and very informative video.. Then youtube as a wild guess would brought your channel to their one of the headline top list world wide as what youtube did to your diwalwal video last year..imagine 100k subscribers reach the 1 million views for almost a month then the other popular youtubers out there can reach only almost a year a million views but you are very different.. youtube so very generous and thankful to your videos.. That's unbelievable..

[@ladyshinobi5391]

That's an expensive trip for you...I hope you get back your money from video... I watch full view... Thank you for sharing your adventures...

[@LeahandBlair]

I can't agree more and more with the wonderful comments you receive from Filipinos here Anselmo.💯💕 You are head and shoulders above Manila Pinoy Baiters, as someone said, you live and breathe the culture, there is nothing fake about you and that is why you have gained so much respect. Kudos. Apir 👍 take us to more undiscovered, beautiful, unbelievable places the Philippines has to offer. 🙂

[@algrand52]

The drone shots of the island cluster literally took my breath away! What an absolutely stunning place. I'm now seriously thinking of changing travel plans, forego Boracay and Romblon and see that piece of heaven instead. This is on you, KD, you did this. Lol

[@margaritasun7908]

WOWOWWWW! Mindanao as always!!!! Its only Kumander Daot's vlogs who features the best of the best of Mindanao!!! Thank You Sir Ansel!!! Another beautiful place unknown to me. Indeed!!! Mindanao is such realy beautiful!! The more I watch Mindanao vlogs , the more I understand why its true genuine residents from generations to generations " protect" it . Its a pride for the world to know & see , but it should be protected from invasion of abusive tourist commercial & industrial businesses , who IS ONLY FOCUS ON PROFITS but does not care preservation of nature * I think its as beautiful as El Nido , or much better.

[@LilyGWard]

Wow! That’s a very beautiful adventure and what an experience to swim with the jellyfish. Nice!😊

Looking back from your past vlog and watching this vlog now, I am so thankful that our Creator really guided you and blessed you Anselm. I am glad that vlogging and travelling help you to keep the pace of your life . Keep it up ,enjoy life and keep sharing the beauty of the Philippines..🙏🙏🙏

[@furiousrose1011]

Sohoton is one of the places I've been that I really want to go back. I was supposed March 2020 but then the pandemic happened. We joined tour from a travelling agency and was with a group of friends since I know it could be challenging to go there So jealous since you got there during jellyfish season there were only a few first time I was there. Yeah there are so much more to explore, you could do island hopping, there are a couple of good white beach.

[@burningheart1224]

Wow what an amazing place. You're so lucky to find a rare gem in the Philippines. Thank u for promoting these places. It will help a lot economically for the locals. Keep safe always. Interactions with the locals really help.

[@teresitacampagna4960]

Awesome Awesome adventure! I'm so proud the Philippines has such a beautiful and magical place. Seeing the cluster of islands on a boat is so amazing, but looking at it from above makes it so much more fantastic. Thanks for the great drone shots. What an incredible experience swimming with the jellyfish. The boat ride through the cave entrance is so exciting. One of your best vlogs!

Commander You should invest in a waterproof bag for that drone it will make it last longer and protect from acidental drops in water or rain protection even some ziplock baggies would be better than nothing
