Siquijor Witches Part 1 | Filipino Legend

[@TravelBeans]

Really sorry guys, but for some reason this has uploaded in 480 instead of 1080. After we release part 2, we will release them together as one long vlog in 1080p. Going to blame it on the witches, first my laptop broke for the first time editing this so got delayed releasing this and now this 😂

[@DiPaTravelVlogs]

Travel Beans Can't wait for the complete part to plop out and show it to Dion on telli. I know I keep saying it over and over, but man! I love the intro! ❤💛💚💙💜 They get better and better. ***dreams away about living in the Philippines*** 😍

[@izzy7ph519]

Nice intro.... nice exit as well for Part 1... creepy!!! ... 😨 Can't wait for Part 2 ... 😄

[@Groon25]

Well, I think the witch is tech savvy maybe he/she is controlling your uploads 😂😂😂.Finally! Emma looks like in the Hunger Games setting in that moment when the birds were chirping in the background. But Im confused, harry potter is there as well... 🤔🤔🤔😂😂😂😂

[@arjayagustin1288]

Travel Beans i'm a filipino & i'm 30 years old...yes the legend exist since i was 4....😁😂

[@zurbehringer4735]

Travel Beans maybe the witches did aomethin to it

[@femr3602]

As a historical context to these “witches”, prior to the Spanish conquests, the healers of the people are women called “babaylan/catalonan”. When the Spanish came, the Catholic friars demonized these healers as witches in order to facilitate the acceptance of the Filipinos of Catholicism. Looking forward to Part 2.

[@DougMcTitties6969]

I remember my RPH Professor said that the early Filipinos favored the friars due to their superior supernatural power cuz they displayed supernatural abilities that surpasses their native healers. It is because of the “Man of Prowess” culture of the Filipinos, the more supernatural abilities you show the more you prove yourself to be the leader. The early Filipinos willingly submit themselves to the friars because of that.

[@microxas]

Albularyo. (AL-BOO-LAR-YO) faith healer. Its exist since pre-colonial times. They do perform healing, exorcism, massage (HILOT) and bewitching (KULAM) . it exist mostly in a remote area in the whole Philippines especially those places where medical services are not accessible. Sometimes rural settlers would rather see the albularyo than the doctors. It is cheaper for them.

[@atengvolley5749]

Michael Roxas ... or quack doctors, let me just add. Remote areas in d phils don't hav quick access to professional doctors so residents resort to these healers who practically learned from their oldies who heal on a trial-&-error method. Btw... i luuuuuv syquijor even if i haven't been there. As soon as i can afford, it's my first go-to ❤️

[@chrismeister15]

I've seen so many travel vlogs about the Philippines and it's mostly about Boracay or the other beaches so I really enjoyed this one because it's unique!! Keep up the amazing work guys!

[@TravelBeans]

Thanks! We're so glad you liked it! We had such an amazing day exploring Siquijor :)

[@jeffronylpausal5395]

Witches in Siquijor do exists 😂 They're just hiding their identity, I believe. But they won't actually harm you unless you harm them first.

[@ladyEnchantressGarden]

True. Even in the cities there are both in and out of coven.

[@indigo-streak9912]

Yeah. Names have power so if any of them gives their name and admit they're a witch they can expect _a few asshole witches_ to take advantage of this. A good rule of thumb for any witch: Keep quiet and practice.

[@ambiepotolin6853]

You look like Harry Potter( Daniel Radcliff)! 😀

[@trixiegarcia9156]

Parang gusto ko din matutu nyan gusto ko maging witch hehe

[@harvestmoon1033]

Witches are pretty much all over the world

[@hundsam2929]

I’m Filipino living in California and I feel like I’m tourist in my own country...thanks for sharing your vlogs

[@porkchop2325]

Hugs to hugs

[@user-sh2nv6vz6l]

Do be careful meeting a magkukulam they are evil sorcerer They are the nemesis of healer witches.

[@defyme1464]

Filipinos are loud guys, sorry for that. That is how we share our positive vibes with everyone - that was really intense indeed! :-D

[@TravelBeans]

It was great meeting them, they were a lot of fun.

[@defyme1464]

Travel Beans hehehe

[@littlesparrow34]

I'm Fili and sometimes I'm annoyed with too loud fellow pinoys. I can't see much positive with loud noisy people lol taking over the scene. Not all Filipinos are acting like those. Luck I wasn't there.

[@psjsushi321]

I’m quiet but Americanized so I def get it my ppl be loud af🇵🇭🤣🤣🤣

[@wahleedtaula2097]

The cinematic effect is so lit. Can't wait for the part 2.

[@TravelBeans]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :D

[@christinel4569]

My family is from this Island ! Haven't been there since I was 7. It's still so beautiful . Can't wait for part 2

[@doughsoshi4382]

Healers and people who practice such stuff are common in remote islands and mountians in the Philippines. Commonly healing is practiced by doing faith or spiritual massage. 😅

[@vernonnery22]

Witches? No problem. You have Harry Potter right there beside you. Nice intro BTW.

[@chocoluver18]

vernon nery 😆😆😁

[@johnkevinsilagan9139]

vernon nery that's what I think too

[@RoseRose-ly1ee]

Revnon Ryne ahahaha

[@dibax33]

😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@CoccinelleMiraculeux]

Omg... he does look like Harry Potter...! But that's a compliment!

[@antoinefigafetta6405]

All foreigners are showcasing their beach experiences and you guys are hunting the Faith healers..Lol...weird and entertaining video :-))

[@TravelBeans]

Haha glad to be different

[@luckyjazzy1060]

Hahahah! It's quite unique though😉

[@Hazelnuttie]

I love that you show these things too. It highlights different aspects of the Filipino culture. The beaches are amazing, but there are also other interesting stuff in our culture.

[@hundsam2929]

They got curious of what locals beliefs on this island...they want to find out if this one true...white peps are more brave whenever they’re curious but Filipino easy to believe without seeing it

[@defyme1464]

Ah, that's so sweet of you guys, thank you for appreciating the filipinos. :-) It is indeed an honor to have you here on the country, grateful and happy to hear from you. :-)

[@johnyboy6664]

Enchanted island of my beloved Philippines..how I wish I could visit there and enjoy the peace and quiet..You guys are really lucky to visit paradise..

[@vonvon1188]

Guys, your music scores give me chills. Man. Hahaha! Great frames, compositions and transitions. New subscriber here! Great great great job guys!!!

[@TravelBeans]

Aw thanks so much! We LOVED making these videos!

[@Kennclarete]

Healing is something that's very old in the Philippines. You will find it in almost all rural areas.

[@greyekko]

In Bohol (where my parents are from), blowing smoke (using a Tobacco leaf) on one's back is a traditional way of healing people from his/her tummy discomfort, fever, sprain, and other pains one might be feeling in his/her body. We call it "Buhot". I think healers also use that style of healing to drive away negative energy/bad spirits wished upon a person by another ("Gibuyagan").

[@gigiiswifeyy]

I went to Siquijor a few years ago and i still remember, upon arriving in the tiny port I felt chills (in a good way). The water in the port was so clear and turquoise even though the weather was super gloomy. It really felt magical!! I really felt that there was some sort of spiritual being/energy surrounding the island. Siquijor is so beautiful and underrated. Thanks for making this video! I know for sure to go back and learn more about the witches. My great grandfather was a healer but sadly he passed away before I could learn more about his gift.

[@Hazelnuttie]

Next time you go, you should try Davao. It is in Mindanao (which is deemed to be “more dangerous”, but I feel like it’s actually safe). Try going to Samal island in Davao. My friends and family went to Giant Clam Sanctuary and the corals are still in good condition and well protected

[@albertteng1191]

davao is very safe, safer than in japan

[@DivertLiving]

hahaha 480 or not that was a great way to end it! Very catching and leaving people with question. Your storytelling is geting better which makes your vlogs better and better everytime!

[@bluedancelilly]

My family visited this island in 2019. We didn't search for witches, but did go to the old banyan tree which is also said to have healing properties from a body of water at its base (with nip-at-your-feet tiny fish).

[@peterrillera8624]

Dont forget to say tabi tabi po when passing through a big forest area or a big tree so as not to offend the spirits dwelling there.

[@takeahike858]

Peter Rillera tabi tabi po as I know it, is something you say when you see a termite mound because it is believed that a troll like creature will curse you if you don’t announce your respect as you pass near.

[@vamoalla9]

It's not a legend. It's real.

[@porkchop2325]

Legends are real😶 😯 😲

[@judimayagma199]

I been waiting your vlog Travel beans...finally you've upload new one.

[@TravelBeans]

Hope you enjoyed it. Our laptop broke for about 4 days so got delayed until it was fixed.

[@vladimirsiddayao9171]

Their power is inherited to them, and it will to generation to generation. The power can cure but there's a bad side, if someone appears in their dreams (even someone close to them) they have no choice but to do something bad to that person, otherwise it will make them weak or they get sick.

[@deathmare456]

It depends

[@nyxstart8642]

Not really that accurate. There’s something called being a “generational witch”.Witchcraft is a practice and anyone can get into it. Every witch practices differently and saying that they have NO CHOICE but to harm someone or they’ll get weak or sick is not true at all.

[@miguelmaya5078]

Terrific.... Glory to Lord Christ Jesus works of His ✋ hand just so amazing..... May GOD blessed you both... keeping you safe for exploring and presenting wonderful video blog....

[@zegzezon5539]

*_Stunning View!_* _Beyond the folklore, _*_Siquijor_*_ is a bewitching land of fine beaches with pristine waters._

[@TravelBeans]

Agreed.. such a beautiful island!

[@rhomallado2888]

This feels like I am watching a Blair Witch Project type of movie. With the home video camera and the actors did something foolish and then everything went wrong, creepy and scary. Hahahaha. Always stay safe you two. Love the both of you. BTW, there are really scary stories about witches or "mangkukulam" as we call it Filipino in Siquijor. There is a worse kind of witch and we call them "mambabarang". This type of witch will put curse on you and all sort of crawling insects, worms and bugs will get out of your body like in your mouth, ears, nose and sometimes there are inside your skin. There is also a mythical creature from urban legend known as "Aswang", that according to the legend, they originated from Siquijor. They are shapeshifters. They devour human organs like liver, heart, intestines. It scared the sh*t out of me when I was little. Anyway, it was nice to see a new video from you guys.

[@josedaugsaliot]

Thank you guys for visiting the island of siquijor. I'm proud to be siquijorian. GOD BLESS

[@little_greta]

Thank you for showcasing our dear island. Proud Sijuijodnon here💙

[@elizabethlibresshibahara5798]

I'm a Boholana been living Japan for 26 years now and it's been 10 years since my last visit there in 2008 so,it's really funny watching your videos and you have amazing character.thanks for travelling my country and watching your videos helped my kamingaw nabawasan ng konti.upload more from Bohol please.or if you're there yet visit my parents in Alicia Town.in a little barrio called Caupig my parents name are Destong& Lydia Libres.

[@Spy359]

I think the Filipino cultural tradition of "faith healing" has been practiced by non - modern healers of long ago. But only in the very hinterlands does it continue to thrive in the Philippines.

[@jcej6197]

You really impress me with your cinematography. How I love it, just like movie! This is the best Siquijor video I have seen, thank you!

[@alimbuyugin67]

couldn't write everything wanted to say coz the witches prevented me from doing so........you guys are very brave. what you are doing is the ultimate definition of adventure...i love your vlogs and i'm always praying for your safety.

[@jaycardcast]

I really admire that you gys are not afraid to go on places for the first time.. I just remembered the movie "Wrong Turn"

[@rothoveb]

I really enjoyed the cinematography and the energy of this video. Loved the interaction with the fun Filipino family...definitely made me smile. Looking forward to part 2...Keep up the great work!

[@ericdelapena1973]

Hi! The drone video on the first part of this video, was it in Siquijor?

[@aphroditefriggaorozco8081]

[@loveamorenukiz8742]

SIQUIJOR IS A VERY QUIET AND BEAUTIFUL PLACE, JUST LIKE U GUYS I REALLY LOVE TO GO TO OTHER PROVINCES BEACAUSE IM A NATURE LOVER, I LOVE D SMELL OF A GRASS, TREE AND ALSO D BREEZE, AND THE PEOPLE IN THE PROVINCE ARE ALWAYS HAPPY,

[@joevicmeneses8918]

Can't wait for part 2, excitiiiiing !!

[@ferryanolin6707]

We didn't see any during our stay there. The beaches are beautiful! We had a great time at the fish spa. So serene and peaceful.

[@rosie3177]

Just woke up from a dream that I was in a voodoo place was a bit scared and curious and so I searched Siquijor and I found your vlog. Never regret watching the vlog!!😍 I’m a Filipino as well but never been to Siquijor maybe I’ll visit soon because of this.

[@nonenone6864]

How did you guys create the cinematic effect at the beginning. Help please? I'm so impressed !

[@bingbondal8106]

Interesting video and adventure..It is a Filipino thing that they love to have pictures even to foreigners.

[@drewlistones]

He looks like the grown up Harry Potter

[@FoodieA1C]

Love the cinematics. I can only dream of doing that in such a beautiful location. Healers and witches notwithstanding, thank you for taking the time to bring such scenery to life. 👏

[@tomifalkerson4509]

[@mathewgarcia7549]

Ancestral territory of the Great Witches in the Philippines , Siquijor is the most Sacred place for all Fililipino Witches 🌟

[@Mhike177]

Didn’t even realise it’s 480, but then again I was watching on my mobile lol. I thought you could change it to 1080 (or 4K) on the video settings of the vid?

[@bisayakaayo8595]

omg i love this video, the opening feels like an eerie creepy mini documentary, great job guys! cant wait to see the next one!

[@queencontrol9347]

very beautiful water very clear....awesome

[@lemonadejuice6340]

Ayyyy, nice that your enjoying our island. I'm a legit Siquijodnon

[@angeluxic]

Witches are very common in Philippines. Our country people who commonly grew or as we speak of "tubong pilipino" aren't freaked out because it's part of our culture, such as traditional healers like an "albulariyo" or a traditional witch "mangkukulam". I personally respect these people because they were part of our history. I was even blessed and naturally born with a third eye, so maybe my ancestor was a witch. All in all, Filipino witchcraft is creepy (I swear, in colonial times, dark magick was everywhere), but I don't mind visiting a witchcraft woman to aid me.

[@almostaussie4768]

Siquijor is home and Island of witches and its mystic! before it become the tourist destination. People/filipinos are scared to go there because of the lores :) We believe in those

[@marywilliams9781]

Wow this a great video. I loved it very much. Thanks for sharing this because I am also curious about them. I am a Filipino too and a hereditary witch. I need to learn more about them. But my parents forbid me to go their because someone told me they're much more powerful witches.

[@TravelBeans]

Oh wow, how interesting! From reading the comments, it appears that the person we saw was actually a healer and that there are witches on the island too! Thanks for watching.. so glad you enjoyed it :)

[@marywilliams9781]

Yes, it's one of our folklore and legends here. Even me, I used to believed them because I had once a friend of mine who was a healer and she was a white witch that knows how to to speak Latin while she was performing a ritual on me when I was infected by the said bad elements here. I was healed. But now she stop doing that because something happens to her. She uses her healing power and take advantage of it. One time I came to her and ask about those kind of stuffs,she refuses me already. I am aware of the witches their because my parents told me about their curses and "Kulam".

[@username9657]

Hi Travel Beans...if you want to see witches...get here in Luzon in the place called Quiapo...there's a place there that sells "witch stuffs" and "amulets"...finding a witch there will be more easier...

[@dibax33]

That place is cool... im from cebu never been to that place.. but planning to go there

[@Educated_Guesser]

Hi I live in siquijor and this is one of the first vid ive ever seen about siquijor!! and i just subscribed!!

[@Betchaiandkidsworld]

You are lucky to find one!!! Beautiful video my friend. I haven’t been to Sequijor but watching this video makes me feel like I am actually in this beautiful place 💕😘😁👍

[@drexeljrcanasa8528]

Love this video. I was anticipating this.

[@robertandjulie]

Hi im ur new subscriber...im wondering if that island really have witches.

[@unitedkingdomphilippines2910]

Emma i watched also your old vlog, you are similar face with tulisa...why you dont try to explore in northern luzon to change, and make some different vlog like history about philippines ..

[@jenniferdavis2110]

I'm a Filipina living in NY ...you guys has to be very careful out there..it's not a joke! ASWANGS are real!

[@josephseason]

Are you guys FBA dropshippers?

[@elenojianoran838]

Very nice... The musical score and the cinematography is freaking good. It reminded me of the blairwitch movie.

[@arbengagam129]

The last music is creeping me out...but also teasing me to watch the second part nice vid. You guys know how to live real life 👏👏👏👊👊

[@betelgeuse286]

Nice video, great edting as if im watching a movie. You've got one new subscriber!

[@mckyleerafols1460]

Siquijor is such a beautiful place to stay.i stayed there as a teen! I hope i can go back and visit

[@justiceempire1170]

Witches in Siquijor recently eradicates the stigma of calling themselves as such since they really do perform great works of healing as well as destruction. But today, they wanted to renew such image. Most of the great Witches and Healers comes from Siquijor. So do not mess around with them. Such old & creepy stories bring a lot of enchantment & attraction to dat small island.

[@regineinao134]

I hope you guys enjoying your stay here in the island. I hope you discover more of the hidden treasure here in SIQUIJOR. proud siquijorian here. Cant wait to watch part 2. 😜😁

[@rafaelamalones9901]

Can u pls tell me where in siquijor

[@mimi2songbird]

sound effect really suited this video. laugh so hard about those filipinos taking pics. cant wait for the part 2.

[@kaishiden4586]

wow watching the drive is great the road is maintained. thanks for sharing always safe trip

[@jefftusing8976]

A traditional method of healing especially for those people don't have access to hospitals or clinics. You should try "HILOT" basically it's like a massage but more intense and you feel better once you try it.

[@enshongdatuin300]

That intro was awesome! ❤

[@TravelBeans]

Thanks so much!!

[@manyan611]

Excited of part 2,, soo nice vlog

[@MrSinfulm3]

Best intro ever on your whole trip to Philippines..

[@TravelBeans]

[@leticiaperez9146]

For us, more beautiful than our beaches is BATANES! It'll transport you to another place and time. It's like being in New Zealand.

[@richardorbeta1550]

[@laroya12splays78]

How can i reach that place?

[@JuanaDelaCruzPH2nd]

WOW just WOW! I Love the Drone shots!

[@VanishingKaizer]

When we visit the island, we respect the locals, smile at them not because of the witchcarft they know but because they're friendly. Its a peaceful island.

[@user-hk7ly4ug8f]

Is there an HD or at least 720p version of this video? Right now it's 480p.

[@TravelBeans]

Thanks for pointing this out, have no idea how this happened. I don't want to take it down now so I will upload part 1 and 2 together as a full video in 1080 once part 2 is out.

[@defyme1464]
