Sea Outcasts: How Filipino Tribes LIVE in Deadly Seas 🇵🇭 - Full Documentary

This edit is our documentary spotlight of the seafaring people we encountered on our latest series to the Philippines. Journey with us as we delve into the lives of the Sama, Bajau, and Tausug peoples, as well as the pioneering crab farmers of Manila Bay. Their stories, told through our lens, reveal the ingenious ways they've adapted to life on the water. It's a captivating exploration of survival, cultural vibrancy, and the deep-rooted connection between these communities and their environment.

I was scuba diving in apo island a few years back, was about 20-30 feet down, when I suddenly see a little kid with a wooden plank attached to one of his legs, and a fishing line full of fish attached to it. Little dude was just hunting for his lunch. Absolute beast. He couldn't have been more than 12-13 years old.

[@novelozo]

@@yapaul6226 The timing and useage of the clips and narration in the first 1/4-1/3 of the doc is fantastic and hooked me. Everything about it is sooooo clean from cinematics to quality of grading to choice of split second clips to group. I generally skip fast paced hard cut and story telling types of videos. This is how it should be done 👏👏👏. I produce various types of videos professionally, and i know what it had to have taken to conceptualize & complete this piece. Very very very well thought out, planned and executed. Beautiful video The host, as well, really focused in and stayed on topic for what its about. He couldve easily been passively biased at a couple spots that wouldve killed the vibe (like most other similar types of videos) but he didnt 👍 I havent yet checked anyother videos on the channel, but this one compelled me to have to express all that i just did. Theres A LOT to learn from this video outside what it was even intended for

As a malaysian i just found out bajau people are Philippian, I always thought they were orang kepulauan, it seems it meets in the middle, it makes a lot of sense. We've always known them as sea people, we love the bajau people. They dont live as outcasts like you put in your documentary, they are ocean people like orang bugis and are blessed with extraordinary skills, no need of expensive equipment. The parts of malaysia that were restricted were because we malaysia are also strugling. Our seas are also scarce and thus the restrictions are to restore the reefs and wildlife.

[@StickyKeys187]

It’s not Philippian, it’s Filipino. Sounds like you’re quoting the Bible or sum. Also they are a trinational group of people. If you watched the video you’d find that out. Also Sabah is a contested land isn’t it?

[@kikoyworld]

A lot of Ethnolinguistic groups in Sabah and North Sulawesi are Filipino tribes/groups that are sadly taken over by another country. If you search it, you'll see these tribes and their languages belong to the Philippine group.

[@njrom2975]

They are treated as outcast , in some places , people look down on them because they don’t value land living and education and they keep having babies even if it’s not economically feasible as a family. Don’t talk what you assume because from where I’m from badjaos are treated as outcast sometimes, not all times but they do get discriminated , and I also don’t condone it but it’s the reality!

The video in question has been excellently crafted, and I concur with your opinion. Ordinarily, I don't engage with this genre of videos, but this one captivated me enough to watch it entirely. Based on my understanding of sea-level rise, it appears that, unfortunately, these communities are facing a real risk of losing their homes and land in the upcoming three decades, particularly if the current rate of ice melting continues.

There was an upperclassman who was always winning competitions at state level when I was in high school. I remember he did an interview and they asked how he got to be so great at swimming and he said that when he was growing up in the Philippines, their family was always struggling, but they lived by the docks where a lot of ferries would come by. Foreigners would toss coins in the water and him and his friends would dive to collect them everyday after school and give it to their parents so they can help buy food. That story always stuck out to me. I'm Filipino too but grew up in the US so my childhood was very different. It's crazy to know how our environment can mold us in such a way
