TOURISM SECRETARY VISITS SULU! Huge Moment For Philippines Island Province (Mindanao)

SULU TOURISM IS ON THE RISE! 😊❤️🇵🇭
I am filled with so much love and inspiration right now. In fact, it is hard to put into words how I feel. A mix of belief, joy, happiness…
It was beautiful. So beautiful.
Not only did I get to appreciate and immerse myself once again amongst a beautiful community of Tausugs. But on this day, I witnessed something I deeply appreciate... the Department of Tourism Secretary just visited the Province.
Sec Christina Frasco, magsukul, daghang salamat, maraming salamat po. I may not be a Tausug, I may not be born and raised in Mindanao… but as I type this today, I am a proud Filipino. You coming here, it is a testament. Over the years, I have been so privileged to have experienced the beauty that exists in abundance here across the Southern Philippines. I have had so many moments where people share with me things they love about who they are, and where they are the from. The beautiful things that uplift them, and also uplift the lives of others. I have seen it, and I have experienced it…
But honestly, I have also become accustomed to those beautiful things being overshadowed. Still to this day, when I mention places like Mindanao or Sulu… it isn’t uncommon to be met with expressions of fear, negativity, and uncertainty.
But today, seeing you here, a DOT Secretary… 💪😊🇵🇭❤️
Times are changing. Peace, progress, and the love people are sharing is shining through!
Mindanao…
Sulu…
Another beautiful part of the Philippines!!
POWER ON!

[@garyh8512]

Great work! I was in Sulu last in 2015 on a Philippine discovery/holiday/honeymoon trip with my wife who is from Tagum City, to visit family. While it was still considered unsafe , we had escort with family and found everyone friendly and welcoming. I'm looking forward to returning and NOT seeing roadblocks and military at every turn. Peace wins!

You made that happen brother! Just in case anyone was wondering.

Nakaka proud as filipino makita na mabigyan nang spotlight ang SULU and i cant wait what SULU has to offer. Kyle, thank you very much for what you do promoting the beauty of the Philippines. For the love that you have to our beloved country. I wish you all the best in life and more adventures to come. Much love brother. ♥

[@ramyessajulhaide9677]

Hiii, Kulas!! I'm the one who's wearing black hijab and red shirt. The one who talked to you in front of Shara's Cafe. Me and my friends really enjoyed our short but memorable conversation. Thank you for coming, this is one of the sign that Sulu is now peaceful and open for all. Kudos sayo, magsukul usug marayaw Kulas!!❤️

[@ramyessajulhaide9677]

And it was "exotic fruit" not food, I'm really sorry for the confusion but I'm glad it made you laugh AHAHAHAH see you when we see you, Kulas!!

​@BecomingFilipino = It must be inspiring and MOTIVATING to revisit places, and seeing the PROGRESS being made, Kyle / Kulas. Big or small, planned or random, you continue to make a difference throughout the Philippines. Journey on, Kulas! 👍🤙 P.S. What an honor to see the DOT Secretary up close and personal -- thru your vlog, Kulas. Her presence speaks volume. 🫡

Well Done Brother Kulas/Kyle. Amazing!!!!!!!Please help Jolo, Sulu become the Future Tourism Destination of the South...Hoping one day that investors will help the Island and give livelihood to my Awesome Muslim Brother in Jolo..Kudos!

[@user-ne7qc5kx5j]

The tausog teen girls are full of life and appreciate the presence of kulas. The people of sulu understood the importance of global tolerance even the Saudis are now more adept of the importance of technology and innovation to further the cause of humanity. Muslims are more tolerance and peace seeking in these new generation. The past is just a glimpse of the memory. Human advancement is important for the sake of human survival.

[@christopherturco197]

Your videos always exude good vibes, but this one especially so - even more than usual. This gave me such a good feeling that I want to board a flight for Sulu tomorrow. It was so momentous for the DOT Secretary to go to Sulu. And it was also a delight to see Sadiq again. Your encounter with the group of girls at the end of the video was so fun to see and made me literally laugh out loud - especially the girl with the glasses! What an awesome group of young ladies! So happy to see Jahndee again. It's been a long time since he was in one of your vlogs. (I was wondering who was serving as your cameraman.)

I am from Mindanao but have not visited the province of Sulu. I have seen several vlogs about this place and it is very beautiful especially the people, they are beautiful inside and out. Their culture is awesome! ..food, music, dress, language and tradition, etc. So proud of these places...Sulu and Tawi-Tawi. I wish many tourists will visit these two places. I see it is safe place to see and experience.

[@loveorangeToledotribe]

This made me emotional 🥹🥹🥹 so happy for Sulu! Finally they will be seeing as a beautiful place to visit… their culture alone has many to offer to the tourists. Sulu is not a dangerous place if you are respectful and kind and so pure love. Good luck to Sulu!!!

I'm hoping that the whole Mindanao will showcase it's natural beauty and wonders to the rest of the world. For so many years Mindanao has been isolated from the Philippines in terms of tourism as stained of terrorism in the area which brings fear to the tourists to visit Mindanao. Thanks Kyle Jennerman a.k.a Kulas for letting me world knows how safe and beautiful is Mindanao nowadays. You deserved the grant for Filipino citizen with your dedication and love for the Philippines your channel is a platform of posivity and showing the beauty of the whole Philippines. God bless and take care everytime you roam the country. May the Lord Jesus Christ will protest and bless your journey that you'll be covered HIS mantle of protection.

[@user-mz1gw5cm5f]

Imagine Sulu becomes the next Palawan. Knowing Sulu has a rich culture and very beautiful beaches and mountains to explore. I hope and pray that the people of Sulu will be knowledgeable enough to maintain a peaceful community and be aware and think about positivity that would bring the next generations to prosperity. I am sure Sulu Hulu will surpass Bali Indonesia if peace will be the people's priority.❤

[@MRBIGSLICK66]

I think it’s great. The DOT visited Sulu for tourism. A beautiful and very historic area that should be discovered. Will be great for the country and local economy. The unfortunate part, especially from the US is the ignorance of understanding Muslim religion. It’s still the Philippines, full of loving and proud, caring people which translates individually, although some stigma still exists on the Muslim culture abroad. The Philippines shows how Christianity & Muslim Religion can coexist without conflict of beliefs. 🙏🏻🇵🇭

[@artvandelay409]

I commend you Kyle for showing a side of Sulu that many of us foreigners never see. Their culture is beautiful and they have made great strides to encourage tourism in that area. However, I will never be able to disassociate Sulu with the many kidnappings....especially the kidnapping of your fellow Canadians that resulted in their beheading in Sulu in April of 2016. Although the government has declared that area free of terrorists, there are still many of the leaders that yet to be captured. I wish the people of that area all the best in promoting their beautiful island but I'll stick to visiting the rest of the Philippines on my visits.

Muslims in Mindanao are very different from Muslims in the Middle East. The Filipino Muslims can still see the Filipino character, their smile, friendship and how they get along with a foreigners. They are rich in original Filipino cultures.
