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.

[@noelsalac-cn9ey]

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

[@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.

[@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. 😊

[@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

[@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 ❤

[@lyricvideo1999]

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

[@Fay-q1v]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@ballroomdanzer]

Nicky Dumapit is very talented.

[@milbee2188]

👏👏👏Bayawan, sana whole Philippines

[@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!

[@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]

❣❣❣

[@koidiaz5591]

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

[@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. ❤

[@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!

[@charlesericksonclamornoril3446]

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

[@EdwinMiranda14]

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

[@jeffreysoria4969]

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

[@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🙏🏼

[@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.🇵🇭🇺🇸🙏🙂

[@menarchemum]

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

[@dennissalamante6785]

They are the MODERN HEROES OF OUR GENERATION... MABUHAY PO SA INYO!!! MAY YOU LIVE FOREVER....i'm joy

[@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. 🙏💔🥹🙏

[@imjhi151]

Sana ganito lahat ng public servants para sa bayan .. May malasakit at pagmamahal di puro kuakot at pan sarili

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.❤❤❤

[@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!!

[@jansoriano7451]

[@jhingpal-ing7564]

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

[@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.

[@jellybeanstalk0000]

Sooooo heart-warming naman ng vlog na to! ❤

[@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.
