Petition to have a podcast that are related to engineering stuff na pwedeng makasabay kahit mga non-technical peopel hehehe, sana manotice thank you Engr. Young!

[@sakurachaerinsong6731]

Yes to this please

[@BudotsTV]

Ok ang podcast kaso fewer audience lang as compared to doing it like this. Mas ok na tong ganito, parang TONI TALKS lang pero more on Slater Young fields lang na part ang topic. 😘

Next guest should be Sanitary Engineer. I’m intrigued why the Philippines has no or less Sewerage Treatment Plants that are very necessary for the cleanliness of our seas, ocean and rivers like Pasig River and Tullahan River.

[@TheFilipinaExpat]

Agree!! Sir @thatguyslater Please po! Growing up abroad this is one thing I have noticed na lacking sa Pinas po!

[@redsoil5]

@@TheFilipinaExpat Sa Pinas kasi akala nila yung Drainage System is the same as Sewer System. Yung kapit bahay ko nakita ko minsan nagtatapon ng used oil sa drainage. Sinita ko at nagalit sa akin. He doesn’t know that used oil will go directly into creek then river and finally the sea. My other neighbor try to build a house without Professionals. His plumbing from kitchen and laundry goes directly to drainage system or pipes, only his Toilet 🚽 and bath are connected to Septic Tank. Basic principle of Sanitation is “ONLY RAIN WATER OR ANY POTABLE CLEAN WATER WILL GO TO DRAINAGE SYSTEM”. Kaya yung discharges from Septic Tanks supposedly will go to Sewer Pipes but the Philippines has no Sewerage System that’s why there’s no choice but to discharge it to Drainage Pipes.

[@kristoffersonnicole9809]

As a geologist, this is actually very informative and I’m glad to see the audience being informed of these concepts. I also got excited when Doc Allan mentioned LiDAR and Georesistivity!

[@joseramonhilado506]

Wow. This videos should be viral and should be showed in school or at work. Para akong nag attend ng seminar at ang daming nalaman. hahaha

[@ulys2az]

This video represents how CPD units should be earned.

[@marrykated.9031]

aii true.

[@danicamaebicar9584]

Agree

[@jaymharvillaluna1941]

sarap makinig kahit wala akong alam sa topic na tapos ko yung video hahahahah sobra simple ng pagkaka explain nga mga pinag uusapan nila

[@relaksdiego5457]

My professor in college in a couple of subjects, one of the best engineering educators I had. He is always passionate in sharing what he knows and explains it in detail nice to learn from the best. More power Dr Allan Botuyan☝️👍

[@user-md4zj8qt5q]

Ang sarap panoorin sobra, nakakatuwa mag explain si Doc very simple lang and galing mag analogy, kahit masyadong technical hindi nakakaboring. Ang sarap siguro netong maging prof haha, sobrang passionate e. Ramdam mo yung passion nya sa ginagawa nya and sinasabi nya and si Slater nakakatuwa panoorin haha dama mo yung excitement nya sa interview.

[@natoresma]

I waw an OJT in Sir Allan's company in 2005/06, It was one of my best engineering experience, and I still appreciate til now.

[@kentcodes]

...and the most important one might be about getting a soil test! The podcast mentioned it can really impact the foundation type you need, which is crucial. Knowing the soil beforehand saves a ton of headaches (and money) down the line! Now I feel much more prepared to tackle my villa project.

[@johnjolly2087]

As a foreigner who is buying land and building a mid-size (150-200 sq meter), high quality home in the Philippines for my wife I can't tell you how happy I am to have stumbled access your channel. Building considerations are different worldwide and you have given me so much insight of what to do and what not to do. Many thanks. New sub.

[@camillefacun4138]

I graduated CE a year ago. I've never come across a podcast/interview video that discusses engineering before and I'm glad there is now. This episode already gave so much info and already excited to see the next video. I'm looking forward to watching more of this stuff. Keep it up! Thank you Engineers!

[@maryannesantocildes1075]

I'm no engineer but I can watch this over and over. Kudos, Slater! Very informative 👏

[@lauragraceramos]

Same! Nerding out moment :)

[@66chelski]

Really impressed with the guest, yes he's got doctorate in geotech and his knowledge is expected but the way he articulated it was in a way that everyone engr or not can understand, his analogies were spot on such that a very a technical term can be digested easily

[@wyttrecords3889]

im a new start up real estate developer, I'm neither engineer or architect. your videos has been very informative for me ever since. more power to you sir Slater!

[@jeromevillamor1210]

Salute sa dalawang engineer na 'to, sobrang underrated talaga ng Geotechnical, dito mo mare-realise kung gaano ka technical gumawa ng establishment

[@3p11692]

This is a content that would benefit both technical and non-technical people to understand more the importance of engineering and other professions in the construction sector. Thank you for all this information and hopefully mas marami pang ganitong content ang i-publish. 🙌🏽

[@kimaldrinfrias8057]

Grabe 50 Mins yung video pero di nakaka inip panuorin nakaka tuwa na may mga ganitong content dami mo matutunan na di ka mag babayad thank you so much engr. young

[@raisadelossantos2200]

It definitely sparked an interest, engineers! I’m a nurse but I found this discussion very interesting and informative! Glad I dropped by :)

[@clairevisande1937]

The questions that have flooded during the launching of the project for Rice of Monterrazas are now answered by Dr. Bontuyan. For this kind of projects which billions-worth Hindi talaga pwedeng walang back up na research and tests yan. Kodus to this very informative episode. Nakakataba ng utak talaga.

[@techtake111]

[@ronalynmaelominoque5931]

Dudeeee that was big brain, sobrang dami ng natutunan ko. As an architecture student this will help me to consider a lot of things in designing lalo na sa mga slope lot, very helpful and knowledgeable. Grabe ngayon ko lang nalaman na when the tree is slant high tendency na prone to flooding sya😯 hope to have more videos na like this, yung advices na galing talaga sa best experts na binubusog ka sa new learnings💗💓

[@natureskissGod]

slanting tree = past landslides happened in the area exposed tree roots = prone to flooding in the area

[@gr1nxofficial122]

As an Architect Student, this Podcast Helps alot of peoples to understand some free knowledge about Engineering Stuff etc. Even with/without degree in engineer or in architect can benefits knowledge after watching this video not gonna lie. Sana marami pang ganitong content ma produce si sir Engr. Slayter not just flexing some projects, but also the starting plan scenes.

[@jekusinatv6958]

Wow ako na,walang knowledge sa about sa klasi ng lupa dami kong natutunan sa vlog nato.Thank you now i know what to do kapag bibili ng property .Thank you for sharing this informative content .
