[@mtnluvr]

Beautiful performance. Very talented Ilocanians.

[@floranteguron3513]

I am feeling nostalgic hearing ppl speaking authentic ilocano n listening to the songs in ilocano as well while performing on stage. The festival overall is awesome, no doubt about it. I'm glad to see Therine with Kulas n their friends. TAN-OAK festival rules...

[@bernardknowles8421]

Love your videos and showing ph at it’s best beautiful

[@bighand1530]

I’m watching a lot of Philippines vids. The fact that I might go there later this year got me in the mood. But the Philippines is interesting none the less.

[@arielalcober5562]

so nice to see the Ilocano Culture.. watching from Toronto.. Thanks much @BecomingFilipino

[@ronniecomoda39]

This made me SMILE! Starting my day with good vibes, nice to hear ilocano songs.

[@LeslieMae]

Love watching those drone shots, Kulas! Thank you for sharing such a beautiful video of Ilocos Norte (makes us locals go proud). Nanay Magdalena Gamayo is our LEGEND! ❣️ Congratulations to Currimao, well deserving for the title. Super apir!

[@LilyGWard]

Pinakbet pizza?! My favorite vegetable dish. Looks yummy! It’s so nice to see a young person doing and learning how to weave from the living treasure Lola Magdalena. Lovely place Ilocos Norte.😊

[@BecomingFilipino]

so inspiring seeing a young guy learning how to weave with Nanay Magdalena

[@RosemarieJoanAsas]

Just wow! I would like to express my so much appreciation to you for featuring again our beloved Province of Ilocos Norte ❤❤❤❤. Thank you very much Becoming a Filipino (Kulas) for this special video. I couldn't be prouder as one Ilokano here ❤❤❤❤

[@ivodeguzman2565]

Aww so beautiful tlg sa ilocos at syempre buong PH🇵🇭❤❤❤❤✌👊

[@WelcomeToRabuAvenue]

08:21 typical in Ilocos to hear Ilocano songs around the province. that's why i enjoy visiting Vigan. ....back to the distant past. my first trip to Vigan... At the break of dawn my school mate woke me up as our bus approached the old Quirino Bridge, looking eerie and attractive under the purplish heaven while the radio in the bus played softly the only Ilocano song i knew, Pamulinawen. How much more Ilocano experience can one get!

[@jopetsumcad]

Wow! That stage production is awesome! Kudos to the production staff, directors, writers, participants and everyone else!

[@MrBantaysalakay]

ang galing ng presentation nila, wow na wow

[@annettealegre-dy608]

Good morning Kyle "Kulas" & Therine❣️Watching from Las Vegas, Nevada❣️ Thank you for visiting again t The Province of Ilocos Norte , The Alegre clan hails from Banna, Ilocos Norte. I have watched you with Therine 2019 since then I followed and subscribed your channel. Love my Ilocano heritage, my mother from Santiago, Ilocos Sur, napeklan nga Ilocano. Correct me if im wrong, I learned from my Lolo the word Sarusar, is it the same as Camarin❓By the way , warmth regards to Cateel Community specially to Mama Rose at Al❣️ Sta safe, have a blissful Sunday everyone❣️😘🥰🤗🙏🎋🍀🇺🇸

[@gracebimmawig948]

Super ganda Ng mga performances sa festival 🎉🌹🎉

[@christopherturco197]

Mas maraming salamat for bringing us along on this adventure! Thanks for showing Ilocos Norte through your vlog. It was good to see a part of the region where my former girlfriend and her family, as well as so many of my friends in Hawaii, came from. That performance from the Currimao at Tan-Ok festival was so impressive. I'm not sure who impressed me more, the performers, or the stage hands. The stage hands really get a workout getting all the props in place and moving them around during the performance! I remember eating and enjoying my girlfriend's mother's dinardaraan ("chocolate meat" she called it - lol!), although I'm not a fan of liver in it. And her pinakbet was one of my favorites! 😋 btw I really like Therine's shawl 19:17. The color is gorgeous and a great contrast with her black dress. She's as beautiful and fashionable as always!

[@LUCYVLOG4YOU]

Enjoyed watching the performance and informative tourist places 👌 ❤️

[@jennifergonzales2642]

Kulas, thank you for sharing your trip to Ilocos Norte. I was entertained and amazed as well how beautiful the province is. I was there in 2017, went to Paoay, 4x4 ride, the Malacanang of Ilocos but wasn’t enough to appreciate the beauty of their culture. Their festival performances was impressive. Thank you for this educational vlog.

[@bighand1530]

Last time I was in the Philippines was 2010.

[@arji08]

Excellent production number, intelligent ilocanos

[@eleanorpakilit]

Growing up, we always say “ bari-bari apo” (like “tabi-tabi po” in Bisaya)when passing by a new place, visiting a place that we’ve never been, especially in the mountains or even near those ant-hills, we call “bunton “ in Ilokano.

[@finaaldaba5341]

Wow!!! What a beautiful presentation. What a great story. Great job Currimaoans 👏👏👏👏👏

[@philippinelife]

I was there about 5 weeks ago..what a beautiful place. 6 days around the north loop

[@apotheosis4757]

Beautiful 😍

[@unad1]

Dad is from Sta. Maria Ilocos Sur. I remember during Holy Week, we will spend a week there. The ancestral house behind Nuestra Señora dela Asunción church more known as Sta. Maria Church. Sabado de Gloria is at Suso beach. The rest of the time we were at the farm- getting mangoes, watching the carabao go around in circles as it juice the sugar cane, making balikutsa, playing in the tobacco field and more. In a few years we plan to retire back home and pay homage to our parents Ilocano and Cagayeño heritage.😊

[@gracebimmawig948]

Super ganda dyan. Wish I can visit there❤❤

[@gieseafarer4265]

Nice one

[@sidlee7205]

Love the show. Wow!

[@thorbay2155]

Thanks for showcasing Ilocos Norte and Tan-ok , Kulas . Agyaman kami unay . We were at batac 3 times last week and we heard that siren / call to “eat empanada” 😂

[@AngryKittens]

"kamarinn" is a cognate of Tagalog and Visayan "kamalig". In Proto-Malayo-Polynesian, the root word is "kamaliR" which means "house for [unmarried] boys", which evolved to mean "storage house" or "granary" in most Filipino languages.

[@pauljayoma8403]

dinuguan with bagnet is the best.try it next time around.

[@Ezihkhel]

When you mentioned about the migratory birds in Paoay Lake, I remembered reading about the Wild Bird Club of the Philippines holding an event by the lake from the archives of their monthly newsletter that they posted on their site, making the area around the lake a good place for birdwatching. That Dinardaraan looks really interesting and appetizing, as well as the Ilocano version of Empanada. Might look up some recipes online to try and cook them, since I am always open to learning some new recipes and I want to try and experience for myself how they taste and what makes their taste unique compared to the other regional versions of those foods.

[@mkito1796]

Hope you can once again visit the Mountain Province and check Lias Silangan which is a part of Barlig Mt Province and show us the drone view which I believe will make you amazed. Then hike, Mount Amuyao. Show us also the Shangrila of the Mountain Province. You only passed by when you were on your bike but you would be amazed that their is more to explore.

[@cordelyeran7206]

Love the outfits Therine and you are wearing. I presume they are from Likhang Maragondon. They look comfy and stylish as well. Therine must be in weaving heaven considering that her advocacy has to do with supporting the local weavers in her community.👍 Thanks for sharing with us what Ilocos Norte has to offer.
