Jonathan is very genuine. He really like Philippines and the people. He is not staying here just for vlogging but he really loves the people. The fact that he interacts with the locals a lot. Not pretending.

[@jerbybenignos488]

He is one of my favorite Foreign vlogger besides Tagalog Kurt

[@denzyr9569]

No wonder why a huge influx of foreigners are frenzied in coming to the Philippines not only bcoz of its natural pristine beauty but the filipinos themselves who are truly friendly and chatty and most of all, the non-language barrier bcz english is pretty much widely spoken in the country.

[@TheLifeOfJoyVee]

Philippines has the lowest in terms of Foreigners. Unlike in Thailand.

[@se_amable001]

its nice to see the siargao crowd is a mix of both foreigners and locals 🇵🇭👍

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

That’s the great thing about the lack of a language barrier here. We can all hang out together unlike many other countries with the language barrier.

[@TheQuantumTraveller]

Damn son. Gotta say Jonathan, your street interview skills are smooth. You really know how to get people to talk about themselves and what they're doing. Love it.

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

Thanks! It's easy to communicate when everyone is so friendly!

[@gracesambugaro372]

I really hope that all the people preserve the beauty of Sunset Bridge and appropriately throw away their trash.

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

Yeah she was saying they just throw it on the ground. Hopefully not in the ocean also. They definitely need trash cans otherwise people will do that it seems

[@bartyslattfast]

​@@travelescapesOFFICIAL"you call someplace paradise,kiss it goodbye"- The Eagles. I'm glad the local people are making a living but someone needs to protect the area or the reason people come will get ruined in the end

[@corinthianunley3121]

Hi Jonathan from Charleston SC!! I came across your vlogs a couple of weeks ago and now I'm hooked. I'm a Filipina who moved to the US when I was 17. I recently went back 2 years ago for the first time in decades. I sponsor a couple of families with children and the mothers are the only ones supporting their children; hardly anything to eat and no housing 😞. I love seeing you genuinely interact with the kids and everyone you meet. Thank you for showing everyone kindness and gratitude. Godspeed with your travels , thank you for showcasing my beloved country and much success with your channels. I subscribed and binge watch on my weekends off. Ingat and Salamat!

[@suzannegonzales2748]

Love that you ask questions to the vendors.. very helpful to people that are looking to seeing these islands.

[@josephrobi6806]

Philippines is vibrant people that make it unique 😅

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

I completely agree!

[@marjunmarcelocristobal2678]

Love the Channel for Showing the Beauty of the Philipines❤

[@michaelwalker5867]

Love your videos from the UK wish I was living there beautiful people

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

Thank you!! You’re right they are!

[@BernadethpenarandaSy]

❤❤❤❤❤ Jonathan im here in surigao city now from Laguna we have a plan to go in siargao but we knew to much expensive the transportation

[@jurgen4466]

Love your positive and friendly attitude and love towards life and your streams from the Philippines interacting with all happy and joyful people! ❤🥰

[@floren879]

Sunset bridge completely changed with lots of food vendors now! Need more trashcan badly!

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

Yeah! None of that was there last time I was in Siargao !

[@lvg0001]

That bridge really is the hot spot. It's crazy how that one woman started the night market.

[@JosieMartija]

I like the way you exchange conversation with the locals . You’re doing a good job. I like your energy.. Keep it up. Stay safe and enjoy.

[@seventhskin1]

I love these people so much, it makes my heart swell when I watch your videos.

[@francesmcdonald8145]

Siargao everywhere now is party place 🎉 🎈 🎊 🎊 🎈 🎉 🎈 The amazing thing is happening at the sunset bridge. The party is free for all. God bless to all Siargao islanders, foreigner, and bloggers thanks for sharing ❤

[@revelationmd]

Looks amazing but as others have said - it’s the people that really make the country! Thanks for uploading!

[@gracegonzales2380]

the bridge looks crowded but nice for sunset😄

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

Haha yes both are true!

[@jdee8407]

The local govt there must enforce every vendor there to have their own trash can. If not they get fined. Throwing trash just anywhere is not acceptable.

[@bugsalmudafar2973]

So jealous! Would like to visit that place when I go home.

[@pinoyvision]

I know that island Barbie parks her ice cream stall somewhere there. That would be nice if you’ve seen Barbie ice cream

[@mrlaughoutloud]

Everyone can speak english in the Philippines 😮. Blows my mind.

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

it's the second official language here!

[@HadassaMiguel]

Yes,it's not difficult to travel in the Philippines because everyone can speak and understand English.You do need to use a Google to translate 😊

[@milaaquino261]

Hi Jonathan I have been watching all your videos about my country . Thank you for your sincerity and respecting the culture and the people. Stay well and many more good blessings to come all through your life. Enjoy your stay 🙏🙏😘.

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

hey! Thank you so much for watching my videos! and same to you!!

[@DC-uo5hy]

These videos, especially this one and the last one, make this old fellow want to be back there. Friendliest people in the world. Johnathan of Alabama, too.

[@ramm1338]

[@SeverinaNacario]

What a beautiful sunset, have fun Jonathan

[@mathewchalifour1992]

I am in Ormoc picking up my Fiance!!! Love the videos! I have learned a ton from your videos. Keep up the great content.

[@bernadetteoneill7014]

This could be the bridge where Barbie Siargao sells her ice-cream. Very popular! 😊👍🍦🍦🎉

[@antonchuplok8927]

Love the sunset

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

Yeah that’s a great spot to see it!

[@Mark-pw1yw]

Night markets are popular in the Philippines, looks very vibrant

[@nightwing4065]

Sunset Bridge is packed with people. Have you seen Barbie selling ice cream? 😅

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

Yeah it’s slammed! I haven’t run into her no

[@brettpower6508]

She's away in davao

[@LilethMansour]

I always love isaw! When I go home to visit, isaw is my first street food I eat!🤤

[@robadventure8007]

Wow! Siargao! The bridge is amazing..but they don't care the main purpose..to see sunset! They are just happy with the friendliness of the crowd!👍🇵🇭🇧🇭

[@burgundyzero2865]

your videos always make me happy and miss home so much.. I am from Bohol now iNj for 20 yrs but I wanna go back and retire home ..Thanks for bringing us along with you, Jonathan! Keep it up! 🎉

[@Mary-zd8xo]

Sticky rice with mango was already a “dish” in the Philippines in 1970s but it wasn’t popularised. I remember having it as a teenager. I’m one of your subscribers, Jonathan I need to have my notifications bell on.

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

Ohhh thanks for the info! I had never seen it before!

[@olip4333]

U really becoming Filipino now @Jonathan 👍🏼

[@JimboandGhen]

wow, great story on the young lady Erica moving from Manila to Siargao and first starting the little street vendor business. The beer and Cheesy Macaroni looks delicious.

[@FilipinaAnneLuna]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

Annneee

[@SimsimsamTravels]

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

[@bryanbanogon4261]

You made my day by visiting "Sunset Bridge" (now I know the place, thanks to you!). Sadly you didn't see Barbie over there but it was nice that you showed me what they sell over there. Thanks Bro!

[@floren879]

Love purple rice sticky rice Philippines - White and purple sticky rice with mangos or w/o is a good snacks for us in the Philippines!

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

It was so good!

[@richardsaturay5562]

[@3dots166]

Hi Yanik and Helena, enjoy Philippines.. In 4 months time, I'll be traveling to Germany with my Mom and brother.. It's good to say that we will be having a cultural exchange and I am looking forward about it.

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi Filipino are the one of the most fantastic people in the world they always want to help people, especially if you get away from Manila

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

Filipinos are some of the friendliest people in the world!

[@Filipinacutey]

[@delianato2696]

[@wtb472]

Sticky rice with mangoes is something that we already have in the Philippines. It’s not a copy of the Thai dish. The presentation though varies. In some areas, the sticky rice is wrapped in coconut leaves and then served with sliced fresh mangoes and thick hot chocolate. I think a similar presentation as the Thai’s would be Cebu’s puto maya.

[@SomethingSomethingg]

I really really want to go to the Philippines but I just have to get through my anxiety of traveling for so long and so far first.

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

Oddly enough I’ve gotten more anxious about that flight lately even though I’ve made it many times. It is a long trip. Or you could fly to a country halfway in between, see the city for a couple days, then take another flight for the second half to the Philippines

[@SomethingSomethingg]

@@travelescapesOFFICIAL Do you mean the flight back to the United States?

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

@@SomethingSomethingg yeah.. it's a long flight

[@Chris-im6mi]

Thank for sharing Jonathan!!! That was a beautiful area to go. I really wish they would station more large bins onto the bridge for trash and recycling. I feel the trash problem back home really takes away from the beauty of my country. I can't wait to see your next video!! Salamat Jonathan!

[@Thecraneoparator]

Johnathan !!!!!! I enjoyed your video again thank you very much 😊

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

Thank you for watching it!!

[@ukmuph7594]

Hey Johnathan, you weren't eating thai food. I'm from Cebu city and the sticky rice you were eating is a tradional Cebuano breakfast called puto maya. Its normally wrapped in banana leaves and served with sikwate (real hot chocolate) and mango. It can be also found in Visaysas and Mindanao region. Glad you liked it.

[@dwaineabella]

mango and sticky rice is also original in the Philippines in our province in Pangasinan we call it ninyugan with ripe mango

[@SomethingSomethingg]

One thing I was very surprised to see is that not many people are looking down at their phones. It's so refreshing in 2024 to see people being present and living in the moment and enjoying each other's company. There's nothing more tragic than when I go to restaurants in the states and families are all just looking at their phones and not even talking to each other

[@mac5665]

so true😊

[@jaysecond42]

Young generations all throughout the country in Philippines now use english as their main language

[@knoican3934]

nice video I feel like I want to go to Siargao❤

[@FilCanGil]

Special thanks to Erica for starting the bridge market and especially for helping Brianna set up “Barbie’s Ice cream”💪🏼🙏🏼

[@eloisasunga7188]

You should check out Barbie, she's selling ice cream there...

[@PKAdventures]

awesome video as always. i'm not sure if your German friend was serious about traveling for Mango Sticky Rice, or if he was just being sarcastic

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

😂 he was joking… “traveling the globe is search for the worlds best mango sticky rice” hahah.. he’s always joking

[@PKAdventures]

@@travelescapesOFFICIAL but you gotta admit, people travel around the world for waaaay less noble reasons lol and as a chef, and a fat guy, i could definitely understand if he wasn't joking

[@craigchapman5076]

What's up bro! Good to see your videos again..what a cool event! Can't wait to check it out..heading over there in October! Have a great day 👊✌😎

[@MexiCars]

That sticky rice ith mango is not only Thai,lol..Im Ilongga grown up in Mindanao and thats what we alway eat tht as Merienda,We call it Ibos with Mango sometimes Brown sugar

[@maxeldutz2433]

Have you seen your fellow American selling icecream in catangnan bridge? Her channel is ISLAND BARBIE

[@Jason-47..]

Great video and it sure makes me want to return there again.

[@user-fq7zh1sn9g]

Watching this video travel vlog, makes me want to visit Siargao.😊

[@brettpower6508]

Guys doing backflips off the bridge was pretty cool!

[@lzlsanatomy]

They should build a proper plaza there and leave the bridge to motorists.

[@honusblanco1259]

FYI. We have our own mango sticky rice in the Philippines, but usually the Sticky rice is in suman form.

[@Just_Haider_]

U should definitely try do some house hunting in siargao!!

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

I think I might!

[@savortunes6038]

Wow! Thanks for sharing, this amazing, video with great music, delicious foods, excellent place very interesting 👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤ Like, and support 👍👍👍❤❤ Take care and God bless!

[@restymcdonald8339]

Pros is nice and lively…. Cons will be, trash will go directly to the ocean

[@MickeysTechSpot]

Love this island seems so different from other islands seems so modern clean relaxing I was in philphines before but I never visited the islands or the beaches it seems like I missed so much missed Ann's live steam worked all day could get my butt out of bed did know when stream started my time lol watched her steam hard to here people talking too much in background they need better microphone I did want to complain to her lol but I always enjoy her humor lol😎😎🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗😁 I love ur channel also I hustled subribed to you u teaching me about the islands how they work think I want to come there again maybe someday live there too !

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

Thank you for watching!

Cool, very nice, looks safe too,nowadays🎉

[@HipSpirit]

Beautiful ❤

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

It is!

[@kyleesteban467]

A way to compensate for the trash issue is, charge accordingly. It shouldn't come out of the businessmans pocket. Public throws trash on the ground, they should pay for the clean-up. Or, more trash accessable units.

[@idakristinedemesa5234]

1.) Puto Bumbong IS NOT ube sticky rice. It is sticky rice but has no ube. The purple color is food color, but the legit one uses black (dark purple) glutinous rice and white glutinous rice. No street vendor will use black glutinous rice because it’s super expensive. 2.) Filipino ice cream is also called “dirty ice cream”, not because it’s dirty but becaue it’s sold on the street. It’s mostly made of coconut milk instead of whole milk. It’s not vegan though because they add a little bit of skimmed milk. 3.) Mango sticky rice DID NOT originate in Thailand. It’s a Lao food. When Thailand invaded a part of Laos, they embraced their food like sticky rice and mango sticky rice.

[@Myk904]

Well, because barbie ice cream were there 😊😊😊

[@user-we8ld8ro9n]

Oh my gosh!! I love cab cab!!! I can eat few pieces everyday

[@250sabre]

You should try and meet Phillyinthe Philippines, he just moved there from Angeles city !! Great KZbin channel !! Would be a great interview !!

[@tuting1965]

What i noticed is a lot of local children roaming around the bridge, i think the local there should not allowed children to play there! 18:09

[@Mina_B_6175]

Omg Jonathan! 😂 You put the chicken intestines up in the camera. I couldn't watch you eat it. It may be my mom's culture, but I was raised in the USA.

[@danp1043]

LOL. I hope you someday get to follow your Mom"s path back to her homeland. It's a fascinating place full of the most wonderful people who have learned to do the best they can with what little they got, and still appreciate the joy of each and every day.

[@angelotimonera7967]

Hi Jonathan, hope you'll try visit Barbie's ice cream someday while you're there. She also has a stall as well around the place and you can sing karaoke there. Thanks!

[@janicemiranda2004]

Oh welcome to siargao ☺️☺️👍👍now you are part of afam bridge 😅😅 just kidding.
