SCARY FLIGHT To Philippines Most ISOLATED Town - Palanan, Isabela

[@mbeeler33]

Thanks for coming to Isabela, mate. Come back anytime. You know you will always have a home in Aurora. Will visit you in Davao when I get back to the Philippines. Hope to meet your wife and kiddo soon! We are grateful for your visit and can't thank you enough for featuring our province. Most Isabelinos have never seen the coastal part of Isabela and through your videos, I hope the government can appreciate Isabela more and put more funding towards it. Isabela is rich in culture, history and beautiful untouched nature. Salamat ha! Balik ka ulit. Bring the whole gang next time. 😄😄😄😄 We will make you some Ilocano tupig. ( grilled rice cake with coconut) 👍👍😁😁

[@KumanderDaot]

Thanks so much for inviting me! This was an awesome trip! Also yes tupig hehe

[@michaelamontemayor448]

Be careful what you wish for. If it's my choice, I'd rather let the place as it is. Virgin, unexplored, natural scenery intact and untouched, gives more value to the rest of the Philippines.

[@mbeeler33]

@@michaelamontemayor448 I totally agree with you as per preserving the Philippines and keeping it untouched but also, progress is good.. I'm sure parameters will be set to prevent exploiting its beauty. Maski kalsada man lang sana, matapos na. This will give locals a chance to go to the mainland to seek medical attention without paying arm and a leg. Need pa mag plane para mangibang bayan. Just like any other provinces, I think Isabela deserves a little bit of notice. It is for people to enjoy and it is up to us to respect Mother Nature and preserve it for future generations. If we haven't seen it, we would not appreciate it. And it is up to us to preserve its culture, nature and its wonderful people especially the Dumagats❤️❤️❤️...

[@michaelamontemayor448]

@@mbeeler33 agree, concrete roads are acceptable. Be aware that even ordinary inhabitants has the rights to oppose environmental degradation in the pretext of tourism to give jobs to the locals. But who does really profits from it but the wealthy capitalists. The locals remains their slaves. Most of them are naive. They are here to grab not to for charity.

@@KumanderDaot do you have any kontak number from there? like the hotel?

[@Aminahforever4277]

Thank you KD. As an ordinary Filipino, I do not have the strength and resources to be able to see these remote wonders of The Philippines. Now with you, am teary eyed for the content of your videos, so touching! My knowledge of Philippine Geography, Culture, Food and her diverse people is being polished by your informative video content. Cheers to another awesome entertainment. 🤩🤩🤩

[@wintersojourn9356]

Yes adding my thanks. I always enjoy the videos but this one was very moving to me. For some reason I also got teary…I didn’t know quite why?! Then I read your comment & so I don’t feel strange! I do have relatives not originally from Isabella but moved there years ago from Ilocos Sur. In the “mainland” though. I especially loved -out of order- the family b4 the plane ride, the priest, the daughter of Kuya Boy & somehow how he introduced her -“this is my daughter, my youngest.” I think he said. He seemed pleased for you all to meet. Proud of her Im guessing. The trike ride. The church. The blue lagoon. The aerial views. Well everything. But the priest cracked me up with all his questions. It IS cultural. No offense meant I write this with a smile & love, but I often felt my Philippine relatives were very intrusive with strangers! Lol. It was always “how old are you? Are you married? Are you going to college? Don’t live together b4 marriage…”. 🙊🙈

[@wintersojourn9356]

If KD Anselm sees this please excuse my forwardness. I am still newish but I know you keep your art & work separate from your private life as much as you are able. But I also follow your wife, so I do see those precious aspects of your life too, a bit. You could’ve said to Father when he asked your religion, oh Father you will be glad to hear I’m married to one of your flock & also raising a wee Catholic. Though I’m not sure L is baptized, I suspect she is, just from following N. In any case, it is not your job to please others but I know that would’ve made the friendly & welcoming Father very happy…..

[@mrclever384]

I am a Filipino but never had the chance to tour around the Philippines like you do. Thank you for the virtual tours Kumander. I really really really love your vlogs! ❤❤❤

[@kahawaiihele]

Mahalo for the style of video's. It is nice to see someone highlighting areas of the Philippines not mainstream by other bloggers. Also love the historical context that you tie in to the areas you visit.

[@rickyph5320]

It's my first time to see a vlog featuring this part of our country. Amping Kumander!🤙

[@bencyellorin7874]

KD: the legit travel, culture and history vlogger, documentary creator! Bravo!

[@johnblenkiron5126]

Just when we thought that there were no more hidden gems to explore you brought us to the idyllic wonder called Palanan. This has been a rare treat.

[@gg_Javier]

This vblog, above others I've seen so far, has given me a new APPRECIATION for you, Anselm / KD. Glad I found it. Learned a lot. Was awed by SIGHTS I would've never seen otherwise. (Thought "Blue Lagoon" was only a movie.) Saw genuine Filipino KINDNESS and hospitality THANK YOU, Kumander Daot! Safe travels.

[@grayessamm4203]

You’re videos are all great. I’m surprised you’re not in the 500+ if not 1M+ subscribers.

[@MikeZee83]

Good to see your video again Kumander! That’s a heck of plane ride!😮

[@jlew5545]

I watch all Kumander's videos......but I really really like this one.....I could live peacefully in this Palanan Isabela place.....and not many places make me feel peaceful these days.

[@christopherturco197]

It's incredible that such a blue color at the Blue Lagoon occurs naturally. That is such an amazing sight. Old Capan is spectacular! I hope you'll spend a little more time there when you return from Palanan.

[@KumanderDaot]

Yeah! I want to spend more time in Old Gapan!

[@3llo267]

Never knew Palanan is isolated as this. Thanks KD for showing the beauty of this place. Truly a hidden Gem!

[@clydeseaside345]

As my Filipina wife said, wow, thats a vlog-----going to places we will never see and teaching us the history. Thank you Anselm. It is just so wonderful finding all of the friendly people with family connections. Loved the open trike ride, got you a seat and a leaf----all of the comforts. Brilliant

[@fredbadbaden5322]

I am so envious Anselm. I guess you have already visited almost if not all the places in the Philippines. As a Filipino, how I wish I have the means to do that too. Through you, I am/was able to see the places in my country which I have not been to and I would like to thank you for that. I pray for your safety always as you do your travels.

Nice to see Kumander D with Boy Perstaym and Kulas again!!!!! WOW!!! Very entertaining as well as stunning cinematic shots on this video!!!!!!!!!!

[@wavemaker2077]

The food must be expensive there. Everything has to be shipped by boat. I wonder if a road can be built to cut through the Sierra Madre mountains. But I'm not even sure if that is a good idea. Once a road is built, settlements will sprout along the Sierra Madre roads. The trees in Sierra Madre might disappear in the future once settlements reach that place.

[@einryms8335]

I flew into Wyoming once on a twin prop plane like that 10 seater. The landing made it the scariest flight of my life. We had to make multiple attempts because the wind kept blowing us off course, but on the third attempt we touched down. It was the only flight where I felt like I was legitimately in danger of crashing.

[@KumanderDaot]

Oh wait until the next one! The 10 seater was even scarier! The only time I thought the plane was going to blow over!

Salamat KD, those remote areas are really lovely. How I wish, I can see it's natural beauty .✅

[@damiankeyte]

I took that same flight back in 1999 and 2000 to film a documentary there. The runway was still dirt back then. If it rained, there was no chance of landing. During one of the flights, the pilot mentioned that the governor of the province had died in a plane crash on the same course. A helicopter was sent in to retrieve the bodies and it also crashed. My pilot joked that the governor died twice. Not what you want to hear flying over the Sierra Madre 😜
