Ever the pioneer Anselm... Greetings from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 brother 🇮🇪 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Good tyre balance is essential in life... Aerin was delightful Being your own boss is so much better than being a nurse a lot less dangerous... Your ability to adapt Anselm is essential 👌 in the Philippines 🇵🇭 people are always looking out for your wellbeing in the background after being there 15+times I have come to appreciate this... Looking forward to our return for Pasko After 3 long years And my wife seeing 👀 our Mama Luz Keep up the good work 🌄...

[@christopherturco197]

What a blessing to have met Al. He's such a good, honest man. That will be one of the things that make you always think fondly of Zamboanga City.

[@KumanderDaot]

Al is really a great guy! Turned a bad situation into something very cool!

I really appreciate your being a Filipino loving person. I wish you the best of everything as you experience what the Filipino can offer while you are still in the Philippines. From California USA, I wish you the best of luck.

[@bluesnowconeplays5362]

We all love Al. We hope you see each other again soon. Way to go Basilan! yeah just take care bro, always log to coast guards there. They will watch out for you. Such a great place, Basilan.

Only in the Philippines would you enjoy dinner 1, 2 and even 3. Don’t be dismayed if you get late or removed from what you originally planned. The order of unplanned events could come as a blessing and worth the wait.

I feel nostalgic, i miss my provincr life . Ur vlog id getting better even more Love the scenery , flock of trees n plant n green grass. This is what i love in the province life. Basilan is starting to a more progress t

[@melodyramos7010]

Zamboanga is a beautiful city, from what I recall as a teenager! I went there in the 1970s one summer, for a Church Youth Conference. It was sooo lush and clean! The ocean and the surroundings was a perfect match…We were there for a week! We rode the boat from Davao City to Zamboanga. I had fun of course! BTW, there were lots of Muslims at the time! They were very nice and friendly. Missed that place…Basilan, on the other hand looks cool and nice! I have heard lots of positive vibes about it from friends who live there. Well, glad you had a great time despite the hiccup! Take care…♥️🙏👊🏼🇺🇸🇵🇭

[@MYYOUTUBECHANNEL12345]

Hey Anselm, your blog is getting better and better, good to watch...it seems you really take a good effort to make it more appealing to watch, very informative as well.

[@Papa_Dan]

Nice one bro! After a rocky start, you covered a lot of ground! Missing the Philippines!

[@concerncitizen8988]

Al is an interesting and nice guy. He has his own story to tell. Anselle's journey has been very interesting. Experiencing and seeing different things, meeting people and randomly eating local food and other unexpected setbacks along the way. People are friendly and things are looking up, although Basilan and Jolo has been thru a lot in the past with history of encounters with some rebels against the military.

Hi Kumander Daot Good morning Non stop exploring lol❤️❤️keep safe always ❤️

[@omynurse]

Great video Anselm. I am on it. LOL. It's me AL. Sad to know your trip to Basilan got "Daot". Well there are things that does not go as planned. But still, you had fun. Maybe one day i could accompany you get around Zamboanga City, There are places here that I myself have not gone to. Stay safe my friend.

[@KumanderDaot]

Al, you are the real hero of this video! All worked out in the end. I'll come see you next time I'm in Zamboanga for sure!

[@darlenecabatuan333]

Good Day kumander Daot always love your video 🙏❤️🌹❤️

[@wavemaker2077]

Good idea about the inflator. I rarely gets a flat tire but it is good to have them just in case.

[@KumanderDaot]

It's been a lifesaver a few times 🙂

[@NickyDunn]

Hiya, always love the music you choose. I love that sign. Leave your ego at the door. Shame you missed your boat. That's good least they know who's on the island. Lovely drone footage. The food looked delicious. Love the lights of the bridge. Great video. Have a great day.

[@joeycoloma]

Yummy street food in Basilan... Sana all... 😋🤤

Power on Kumander Daot! Watching from Victoria, BC, Canada.

[@trisix7091]

thank you and kulas. even though I'm from Manila and never been to basilan and don't have a plan, because of you and kulas, I can see and appreciate the place. I wish there's no conflict anymore. imagine the tourist that will flock there? locals will have a job. thank you and always take care kumander.

[@thethirdiii]

Dude that's good old days but yeah now is really different maybe they are not partners in crime anymore.. 😂

Thank you @cryslerdecena7557. It is me AL. Commander Daot inspired me and I actually now started my own channel to tell my story somehow.

[@garyburgmylifeandtimes6354]

Glad to hear they took personal care of you in an area foreigners do stick out. It’s safe as long as you are with friends and don’t try to freelance on your own.

[@KumanderDaot]

I think this experience is a good reminder that if you go to these parts of the Philippines, you should COORDINATE FIRST, especially if you're a foreigner. BUT YOU CAN STILL GO THERE! Just speak to the Isabela City Tourism Office - they are incredibly helpful and will take care of you! Risks still exist, they are thankfully not as bad as in the past, but they still exist!

[@thethirdiii]

I have a positive outlook but as you travel on the same direction over and over again in west coast of mindanao that is something unusual to a foreign tourist.. Be careful buddy.. Don't be complacent.. Anything can happened on the streets.. As i observed you cannot reach 50k views a day, still struggling . In my own opinion if you don't mind maybe you can divert your path and explored again visayas region like what happened to Matt and Molly your fellow brit compatriots..same followers with you then sky-rocket to 200k after they explored visayas region and special mention my favorite "mr. deadpool" as he explored visayas again.. With all the clumsiness and very emotional trip but look at it 1.01M followers.. Unbelievable.. That is immortal living legend hero aka "Deadpool".. 😆

That tire repair person is very honest, plus he very knowledgeable. It’s sad that with his education and work experience to be tire repair person is not good for the country. He mentioned that the salary he get working as a nurse in his community is low. That’s why he went overseas for work. The government should do something about the low pay for nurses.
