This is How They Treat You in PHILIPPINES Bohol 🇵🇭

[@damn671]

I love Philippines so much. My favorite country in the world. I've been to 32 countries and Philippines is the most special to me. The locals are just super friendly and welcoming. They treat you like a long lost friend

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

They really are a different level of friendly here

[@g4m3r1993]

Just as a side note - you have a badass username

[@OnePanda512]

At first i was touch by your comment until i notice youre username 😂

[@baoyatnagrag3812]

Kangkong or Swamp Lily in English? Not sure...

[@vergelpila25]

Any dish with coconut milk especially it's a little bit spicy...is masarap!!!!

[@OkiBlaze]

Thanks!

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

Hey thank you so much for this!!

[@juzdion]

Big respect to those vloggers who also try learning the dialect of the places where they are staying. Just like you sir. It only shows that you love what you are doing and really tried to understand the culture

[@noelstanton401]

Once again so informative. As an Australian , living in the Philippines,so wish more Aussies would come here.

[@wavemaker2077]

Aussies usually go to Bali.

[@painrick]

G-day from Melbourne, I’m coming to the Philippines for the first time thanks to the great work of Vlogs like this, see you there in October !

[@doonyfam8431]

So true, I'm an Australian Filipino and most Aussies flock to Thailand or Bali.

[@lenseofanomad]

theres another youtuber in iiloli city rightnow whos aussie.

[@carmencasper4460]

Hi Jonathan ~ you are so sweet and genuinely kind to Filipinos that is why they (we) love you. What you just ate is called Ginataang Kalabasa with veggies and crab. It is a Filipino vegetable stew made with squash, usually shrimp, and long beans cooked in coconut milk. Ginataan means “done with coconut milk”. She mentioned the dish has “sayote” which is chayote, a member of the gourd family. I like eating sayote.

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

Thank you so much Carmen! I just reciprocate the kindness shown to me here. Thanks for the explanation of that dish! I really enjoyed it. And thank you for watching!

[@Mrright1in7eyes]

Philippine's english is clear even though its not perfect because that part is a province and normal civilian. But the english is very understandable and can communicate very well with americans or english speakers

[@juzdion]

Also I love it when you ask permission to film. Not everyone loves to be in the camera but at least for Filipinos it's quite a normal thing 😂

[@benburns5995]

Hi Jonathan, can see why you love living in the Philippines. The Customer service and friendliness of the people are really great.

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

Hi Ben! Great to hear from you! Yes, it really is what makes this place so enjoyable!

[@annchee1329]

I just stumbled on your channel, and am loving all the culinary and cultural aspects of this country. They locals/Filipinos exudes such kindness and friendliness...........

[@nigeljohnson8995]

Must say I have watched about 15 of your vlogs over the last 2 days and really enjoyed them. I like how polite you are. There is some good laughs. You have a good way of engaging with the nicest people in the world. And agree with all of your conclusions. Many thanks, so nice.

[@gem6399]

Hi Jonathan, The green leaves she mentioned are "kangkong" which is "water spinach" in English, I believe 😊

[@bernadetteoneill7014]

Nice conversation with the locals & few Bisayan phrases. Well done. Lami kaayo! Stay safe. 👍

[@Arnel_A67]

really like your interaction with locals and having local food ❤👌

[@jerryboi511]

Jonathan, you're so easy to talk to -- even at times when you don't understand each other. And that lady was so friendly! They definitely need to charge more for their dishes.

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

she's extremely friendly! and yes, I have seen similar dishes more expensive at other carenderias around here

[@erutt]

No. Inflation is bad for locals. People from other country can pay more if they want as a donation if they want.

I love adobong kangkong with fried fish. And I love any food with gata especially squash and bulad that's why I don't always cook it otherwise it'll be another diet?-What is that?-Is that delicious? moment for me. And kangkong/tangkong is water spinach in english.

[@zinantabariba1916]

I love ate so great conversing in English! Proud of you!

[@evilkamatis542]

It's sad to hear that she lost her business during the pandemic. The truth though was A LOT of people have lost their business during the pandemic and it sucks so bad. The economy plummeted down during those times and a lot of us have to do something else to do a living. It was tough, but being a Pinoy has it's own perks. Even though life was so hard, we still smile and laugh and move on.

[@georgeacenas2349]

Her food presentation's good. Scooter customers are always around. Hope she sets up another roadside establishment again!

Hi Jonathan, kangkong is called a poor man's diet and it turns out to be nutritious food according to the scientist. The other leaves is called Malunggay or Moringa in English. Stay safe and God bless.

@@travelescapesOFFICIAL It's almost the month of May, expect a lot of festivals. Usually, the first week, like every town will have a fiesta. It's not as big as Sinulog in Cebu or Masskara in Bacolod, but it's still great. If you stop by, people might invite you to eat lechon or drink in their homes.

[@msbee-xj8ni]

The ladies were so kind and pleasant. Sometimes I wish I live in the provinces in the PH. Life is so laid back, quiet, peaceful and simple. The world is too stressful now. Btw, when she said you were strong to travel alone. Filipinos do not tend to go traveling by themselves. It's always with a friend or group of friends or family. It doesn't necessarily mean the place is unsafe. Filipinos are always surrounded by other people so it is very rare to be lonely there. Kangkong is water spinach. Guinataan (coconut) dishes mostly is a Bicolano dish.

[@jocelynjaca2323]

I hope you enjoy staying our country.....

[@emersonparanada9781]

Thank you Jonathan for featuring our country The Philippines in your vlogs. Thanks for spreading the positivity, You did mentioned you also speak spanish right? Do you know that Zamboanga in Mindanao is a Spanish Creole speaking City? you can check it out if you could make a content of it, it would be interesting to see if you and the locals there could hold a conversation. Thre are also places there in Mindanao which are not touristy and could surely use vloggers like you to promote the hidden beauty of their places like Sulu, Tawi Tawi , and Basilan, some say there are sites there that are far more stunning than Boracay, Bohol and Siargao, do check these out and see if any are good a suggestion for your future contents, Thanks again, Good Luck and Safe Travels :-)
