The Best of Siquijor and Dumaguete (Negros Oriental Philippines)

[@justincarlo35]

I swear FEATR produces the best documentaries and presentations about our places, people and culture. Will always be a fan of this production.

[@linjea8503]

That is Erwan is James Beard awardee

[@TeacherRoniel]

I was crying while watching. Thank you for making me experience my childhood through this video once again. 🥹🥹 I miss my hometown.

[@featrmedia]

Glad you enjoyed it and that it brought back nice memories from your childhood. Thank you for subscribing! 🔥

[@maxx_ash]

You got a great community & a beautiful hometown! I can only imagine this excellent content from Featr, moreso from Daddy Erwan 🫶❤️

[@RPalma2973]

A breathtaking Story created by no other than Sir Erwan the great

[@angelica5744]

Same with me,

[@JonClark91]

I cried too! I am half Filipino and American and grew up and live in the US but it’s crazy how the Filipino spirit and culture still applies. I never realized that my mom’s giving nature and sense of community that she instilled in me was a cultural concept; this video taught me a new word, bayanihan. Things make so much sense now.

[@shanekarlrodriguez7352]

the waste management in bayawan city is v commendable. may wastewater treatment facility pa! so so cool. hope other provinces will consider to do the same. i also love how the locals give importance to protecting the environment and are really passionate about it. the warm people, interesting food, and greenery made me put negros oriental on my bucketlist. this episode is a personal favorite. thanks, featr!

[@noelsalac-cn9ey]

itong si sir NICKY DUMAPIT dapat maging RAMON MAGSAYSAY AWARDEE..pinoy proud

[@vontg6430]

I came cross your video just now; it's 10:58pm here in Bahrain and I can't help myself but shed tears cuz I really miss my hometown Dumaguete. Just thinking now Of coming back home. Haven't gone there for 8 yrs, well, you might wonder why- it's personal but yeah thank you so much. 😊

[@koidiaz5591]

This deserve million views! Kudos to Bayawan a model to all our cities in the Philippines! Husay! 🙌

[@ericmahinay3065]

I am overjoyed that you highlighted Siquijor, my home province, and Negros Oriental. There is always a connection between these two islands. Siquijor was formerly a part of Negros Oriental until the island gained the ability to stand on its own. However, Negros will always be Siquijor's mother island. The featured issues, which highlighted the value of living in harmony with nature and its inherent simplicity in a way that younger generations and millenials do not understand, were fascinating.

[@CasimiroBukayo]

In a time where AI-generated brain rot content, fake vids and crypto bro advice are everywhere, your videos provide the refresh we need.

[@ErlitasWorld]

Non stop tawa ko tunay kasi ito

[@menarchemum]

This is one of the BEST episode yet! The heart of the Filipino people is greatly featured!

[@alkhimirtv]

Yung Solid Waste Facility ng Bayawan ang dapat gayahin sa buong Pinas Kung ganyan ang tutukan ng Government natin siguro maayos at malinis lahat ng mga Bayan.

[@Fay-q1v]

Outstanding solid and water management. The best I've ever seen in PH. Kudos!!!

[@wenizafuentes7355]

Grabe to! This is an award winning documentary. Tagos sa puso at pagkamangha sa bawat stories. Ang galing ng Team FEATR 😍👏🏻 Salute to the PEOPLE OF NEGROS ORIENTAL 🥰

[@MamitaClaud]

I can hear the golden-bellied gerygone and sun bird at the background. ❤❤❤ I have to continue watching after the tree was being cut. I shared this to my children and friends who are conservationists of history and environment. Like many older jaded people as you have mentioned, I felt the realities of human frailties, politics and more for far too long. My bp skyrockets at certain issues. I relayed your message to younger people who can take the beatings of dissapointments, the highs and lows of their advocacy. I am not resigning. Just taking a step back so younger people can try and do their best. My purpose now is dissemination. A far cry to field work but still like you said, it's up to me what I will do with this information. Keep it up. You are the eyes that will show people what is important and what needs to be done with these historical-culture-environment-community issues that we need to deal with. Kudos to your team.

[@charlesericksonclamornoril3446]

There's nothing more genuine than people who experienced hardships. Its the experience, not the wealth that is valuable.

[@pearla123-u5f]

Born and raised sa Dumaguete but never saw this side of Neg. Or. Being a fan of FEATR's documentaries and always wondered how Dumaguete would be presented and I must say, This is beyond I could imagine! Thank you FEATR for creating this wonderful video! Boss Nicky, hurot akong bilib nimo! DAGHANG SALAMAT

[@mar01605]

I notice your comment, did youtube banned us filipinos from using the word "Negro" now?. which is our freaking word thats part of our culture. Because of this narcissist foreigners that think our culture should adjust to their culture.

👏👏👏Bayawan, sana whole Philippines

[@eatsnostalgia4breakfast]

sure im not the only one who cried while watching this 🥺🥺 sana ganto sa lahat ng part ng Pilipinas. thank your @FEATR for always serving us beautiful documentaries ❤

[@ywsonder_31113]

This episode, particularly the waste management segment in Bayawan, left me in tears and filled me with hope. Seeing a community come together to create positive change is truly powerful. I wish the entire Philippines could replicate this model. Thank you, FEATR, for sharing this impactful story and inspiring us to strive for a better future!"

[@ballroomdanzer]

Nicky Dumapit is very talented.

[@gregoriokakilala5734]

I hope, ang schools mag coordinate sa inyo sir para i-educate ang mga kabataan sa pag alaga bg kalikasan. Field trips dyan sa land fill. Congratulations sa grupo nyo sir. ❤

[@lyricvideo1999]

Grabe ganitong content ang dapat pinapanuod natin!!!! Grabe salamat for sharing this with us!

[@zenfinity8]

This video put me in trance and feels like I’m back home as a child. Thank you for featuring Neg.Or… I’m proud to be a Negrenses

[@featrmedia]

❣❣❣

[@jeffreysoria4969]

pinopause ko talaga. and yes, malinis nga. kudos!

[@kdlntr]

I so love this vlog! Thank you Erwan and team. The way Nicky Dumapit explained his advocacy is quite impressive! Alam niya ang ginagawa at passion niya. Sana mapagpatuloy ‘to. Also si tatay at nanay na gumagawa ng Ligoron ang husay and I was surprised nakakaride pa sila. Well done po! 💚 Hoping for more videos like this. Solid!

[@judithtamayo8335]

Hello, this video brings a lot of memories from my birth country Philippines. Living away from home for 50 years (visited only about six times since I left in 1975). Yes, as a child, I used to help my mother made landang, a very laborious process. For many families then, it was already a meal for many days. I remember eating different recipes out of the “landang” product like: ginataan-cooked with coconut milk similar to tapioca, landang mix with young shredded coconut, brown sugar, etc then steam cook, there were some other ways of cooking. Erwan, I watch a lot of your videos bc I love cooking. Unfortunately, bringing Filipino products to USA is so restricted I will only dream of eating landang when I’ll visit PH hopefully summer of 2025. Thank you for sharing this very touching video. Good luck to all your future endeavors.🇵🇭🇺🇸🙏🙂

[@evelyncsaba8412]

It’s such a blessing to see/hear Tatay Rene planting those critically endangered trees/plants. We need more people like him❣️ Enjoy watching your videos…heartwarming & educational…Thank You🙏🏼

[@imjhi151]

Grbe! Gusto ko mag bisita sa Province nila ❤ soon. Galing! Basta po tlga may passion at mgnda ang goal para sa bayan more positive results. ❤

[@jhunneoyiesariapanliliogar2033]

This video brought back a lot of my memories growing up at a time when a greater part of Manila still looked and felt like a rural area with its luscious greeneries teeming with all sorts of insects, animals and birds you don't get to see nowadays. I miss those cold foggy early morning adventure walks with my brothers to catch dragonflies or mantises as well as some small guppy fish for our glass jar aquarium on a stream that leads to one of the tributaries of Pasig River a few meters away from our house. I wish it stayed the same for children to enjoy and marvel at. 🙏💔🥹🙏

[@RemariesVlog]

So heartwarming to see this video of Siquijor my hometown and Dumaguete where I graduated. ❤😊

[@jansoriano7451]

Featr is like the go to vid for your slow mornings.

[@April..]

Ang galing ng FEATR. Nadadala ka sa Lugar na featured nila dahil sa mga tamang tao na ito. Marami ko natutunan.

[@EdwinMiranda14]

Sobrang astig talaga ng local culture!!! Taena!!! Angasssss naiinspire akong tumira sa negros bigla haha

[@Latikman1]

Ang galing ng FEATR sa pag present ng mga nakatago o nakakalimutang mga kultura ng Pilipinas. Marami kayong mga na Feature na mga Storya na hindi nakita ng mga sikat na Documentary programs dito sa Pilipinas. More power at more Projects pa FEATR, ang galing lang talaga na kung sino pa yung hindi dito lumaki sa Pilipinas (Erwan), ay siya pa ang nakakakita ng mga tagong yaman nito. Salamat sa Pag Share! Kudos!

[@roldanbiscocho9515]

Solid ni sir Nikki, Salamat Featr!

[@jhingpal-ing7564]

Thank you for featuring our beautiful Island SIQUIJOR! Hope you enjoy it! ❤👍🥰

[@iracortes5600]

Wow this is such an amazing episode!! Appreciate all of the people featured on this episode especially the Manang that baked pan bisaya and the guy with the insturments!!

[@ViktorPablo]

Quality content! 🔥🔥🔥

[@recordsncr]

very informative about the waste management. and ganda ng plan and program nila sana lahat ng LGU ganito

[@mariejoymanatad1576]

This episode is just wow! This by far is my favorite, although all your episodes are my favorite! This is such a breath of fresh air! I’ve learned so much from this episode about a delicacy I never heard before, 'Landang,' the Ligiron game, and a city I first heard about, Bayawan City, which is a role model for cleanliness and waste management. Tatay Rene’s effort to preserve endangered trees, along with inspiring stories from Nanay Lilibeth about camaraderie-‘meron pa palang bayanihan sa Pilipinas’-and Nicky Dumapit’s mission to preserve cultural Filipino games truly impressed me. I’m in awe of his instruments, oh my goodness!!! Thank you, Erwan and the FEATR team, for bringing our kababayan into the spotlight. This was truly worth my 1 hour and 30 minutes of time. Thank you, and God bless your team, Erwan!

[@febjasreal1360]

i hope ma continue ang tradition sa Ligiron ✨📣 ganahan kaayo ko magpagama pd anah atung kid pa ko and makasulay pero palwa ra diritso gi pa dula sa ako, pa slide ra diritso sa nay part na padulhog, tala angat ta Valencia~

[@DookiesNest]

The artistry,creativity and preservation of this documentary is really impressive❤

[@KeirraLavigne]

More of this please. so inspiring and refreshing at the same time. I agree, we need to stop or slow down at some point in our life to be aware of the surroundings we are in.❤❤❤

[@thatgirlchi]

ANG COOL NI SIR NICKY DUMAPIT 😮‍💨🫡

[@euriecalixto]

As a person who likes to gain knowledge and to know more about our country, video like these it made my day❤

[@febjasreal1360]

makamingaw tung moments na naay mag bike maglibud maligaya ug "bread" /pan bisaya ,sa amo i think kay puto bread tawag, i forgot the right term, mag andam kag naka daan ug money pag makakita naka nila doul na sa inyo~~ ✨ Good Job to Ate and sa mga ni help niya for the business ✨ hapit niya ta diha~ makalabang tag Siqui ~~ ❤

[@migovasquez0303]

I think it is safe to say that both Siquijor and Negros oriental now together with Negros Occidental are just called Negros Island region. Im from Negros and i welcome the integration of making it as a whole one big region. They are no longer part of central and Western Visayas. Thank god. Great video.

[@reyjohnmarksangcap3833]

Nice narratives. Siquijor and Dumaguete are some of my favorite places. Although Siquijor and Dumaguete are no longer part of Central Visayas. Just recently the president signed RA 12000 declaring the Negros Island Region as a separate region.
