Why You Need to Visit Siargao NOW! 🇵🇭 Philippines

[@josm15241]

Jonathan, I am from the Philippines but I have never ever been siargao. I ❤️ watching you and you're such a friendly man. I'm here in the UK.

[@RR52517]

Jonathan is really friendly. His personality suits well in the Philippines.

Did you know that you can go to Heaven for free? This one decision can change your life and eternity forever. You've heard that Jesus Christ died and rose from the dead - it means He paid the price for your sins so you can be forgiven, saved and have a personal relationship with your Creator. All you have to do is be willing in your mind to have your life and heart changed, believe in your heart that Jesus rose from the dead and follow/seek Him daily. Watch how the Holy Spirit moves in your life.. much love and God bless you!!

[@Jttw2131]

If a place like this existed in the US, it would cost $1000/night. The native food looks so delicious and people are so friendly.

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Wow fantastic tour again. Thanks very much. I really miss the Philippines. I love the Filipino people and the food

[@rastaman111888]

Nevermind the Jackfruit..thats sinegwelas right there..besides the seed that you dropped. been a decade i have eaten that..omg . I miss🇵🇭 so dearly.

Only the most virgin Pacific Ocean 🌊 water 💦 that enters the Philippines and exits to various Asian countries due to the rotation of the earth 🌎🌍. Love the Philippine beaches!

[@elpidioreal9917]

In the Philippines the ocean 🌊 current flow from the east to the west because the rotation of the earth. So, the ocean water is constantly changed with virgin ocean water from Pacific Ocean.

[@JetSetJourneys.Podcast]

The beaches in the Philippines are truly paradise with the Pacific Ocean's pure waters! 🌊💙 There's nothing like those crystal-clear shores-absolute perfection! 🌴

[@benburns5995]

Hi Jonathan, the gorgeous footage of the Sunsets with the Orange and Purple glow made up for any parts that were darker. I always marvel at the food prices in those little markets for the quantity of food and the reasonable prices. I can see why in your last video you commented that you might move to Siargao as it is such a stunning place. All of the beautiful Coconut and Palm trees are so plentiful. Looking forward to your other videos featuring your time in Siargao.

[@The-Angry-Vet]

Thank you for doing an in depth coverage of Siargao! I moving to the Philippines in 1-2 years and was looking for an area to live. I saw a video of Siargao and fell in love so I’m trying to see every tiny detail of what my future home is like. Your video sealed the deal it’s definitely going to be Siargao!!! Thank you

[@rednaxelahcitorfaznebo2830]

There are a total of 48 islands and islets in Siargao. You need to do island-hopping to enjoy the beautiful sceneries. You can do snorkeling in white sand beaches with pristine water.

2 words - kermit pizza. best pizza I ever had outside of Italy - better than any pizza in the USA I ever tried. Should be a business to support too as that place was destroyed by the hurricane and they had to start again from scratch. The pizza is 10 out of 10. Damn good pasta too.

Since jackfruit is huge it doesn't grow on the top of the tree. The fruit grows at the lower part of the tree. It's covered with a soft sack to protect the fruit from pests. Until it's ready to be cut off from the tree. If you plant jackfruit at least 5 years it will have fruits.

[@berticusspartacus8489]

5:21 that other fruit is called Santol (cotton fruit)

[@agapephilerostorge]

Yes and tastes sour and acidity, best eaten with salt or when pickled. Personally, I'd pick that last if there are a hundred different fruits to choose from. 😝

[@azd3boom144]

Spent all of last December there! Amazing place and people!

Cannot wait for more, great content!

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

[@TeacherEric173]

When consuming a ripe Jackfruit, it is important to tear it apart to discard the seeds and the soft outer covering (brownish). One should only eat the soft outer meat covering (yellow). The brownish fruit known as Santol is also called Cotton Fruit or Wild Mangosteen. It has a sour taste due to the thick soft flesh, and the seeds should not be eaten. The soft flesh of Santol can also be cooked.

[@lindabuck2777]

Good to know! I love learning and at 69 just turned, so many things I never stop-still a sponge!!! Thanks Teach🙏🏻❤️blessings of health love and joyfilled days!!! Imma sub to you-Teacher teaches many things I’m jazzed! Thanks🙏🏻🤔❤️

You can boil the Jackfruit seeds, taste like potato.

[@DC-uo5hy]

Brilliant, one of your best tours. I look forward to the next. Thank you.

hi Jonathan, those are small jackfruit, there are some huge one. Also the one your pointing out besides packed jackfruit is peeled santol -- sweet tart

[@808_TexN]

Great videos 🤙🏽 Get a DJI for better low light quality if you want to film at night.

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

My friend Ken has one and recommends it also. I might make the switch!

[@markusdee6136]

16:59 wow that's trust-based serving. You take a picture of your orders and you show those pics to the cashier.

[@dinbee4611]

Locals understand jackfruit more so as "langka". The other pre-packed fruit u were pointing/asking about beside the jackfruit pack is called "santol" (cotton fruit) and it has been pre-peeled.

[@eli.capinbxu]

In Siargao, it is called "Nangka" not langka (tagalog)

[@ferdiesanantonio7940]

​@@eli.capinbxutagalogs call it both nangka or langka....means the same to us

[@Katashiki]

i was just there a month ago, Siargao is such a beautful island. Love your videos, keep it up!

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

Thanks so much! And I agree! Siargao is definitely one of my favorite islands!

[@Venus_LakeandSky]

Hi, Siargao is already in Mindanao Jackfruit is being sold here at Whole Foods, staff are amazed at how it looks and I make them smell it! That’s my favorite fruit And yes, it’s always with seeds.

[@ricmanalo434]

Thanks for the virtual tour of Siargao, it's like being there although I've never been there.

[@reycasas8082]

Thanks for sharing your experience of Siargao . I miss the fruits there. I especially loved the Sineguelas, or Spanish Plums, that are on the fruit stand. Maybe next time you are buying fruits, try anything that you haven't tried before ( but as a traveller, I think you might have tried all of them). Some are good by itself while others are eaten with salt.

[@iyamatoalcantara475]

great video man, but its feel short to me, 😅 please upload the continuation as soon as possible.. 😆 thanks! have great day!

That jackfruit you can even eat the seeds by simply boiling it until it becomes soft.

[@karstbroekhuisen2835]

Siargao Island Villas has quite goot internet speed, awesome island. Bar 150, El Lobo and Sidargo for Nightlife, Sunset Bridge for street food. TIP: rent a tricycle driver as a guide for an island tour.

[@JetSetJourneys.Podcast]

Great tips! 🌟 Renting a tricycle guide is definitely a smart way to explore Siargao and enjoy its hidden gems. 🚲🌴 Also, those nightlife spots are must-tries!

[@herminiasmith1357]

Very comprehensive and very informative tour video, Jonathan! I've been a subscriber since I saw you playing with kids in Pasay hitting cans with slippers! Very nice that you are in Siargao right now. Perhaps you should check local lady, Marielasin, married to an Australian and how they live fishing in a hut in the ocean. You may contrast their life with that of the Swedish couple Emy and Johann who are also living off the grid over there. Someone like Mariel would be a perfect partner but you are in a place where you have an opportunity to meet and mingle with lots of foreigners! Keep up the good work as well as have fun!

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

Thank you so much for following along since the Pasay video! That’s a great idea but I don’t know how to get in contact with Marielasin 🤔

[@emmans05]

The best mangoes are in Guimaras island, Western Visayas. Close to where you leave in Bohol, Central Visayas.

[@randysalerno6274]

the fruit looked amazing... you need to try mangosteen and lanzones if u haven't already

[@lanaava]

@17:00 lol take a picture that’s new.. at first I thought she was going to say for the gram 😅😅❤

[@x2pher]

Santol is like mangosteen but when you peel the 1st layer(brown/orange skins) it can be eaten. Some santol are sweets or sour. Bro ✌️

[@M.Evans82]

Thank you for sharing your experience and travel knowledge with people like me who plan to visit places like the Philippines. Only question is what if you don’t speak the language at all, how difficult would it be to get food and travel safely?

@@travelescapesOFFICIAL I will be flying into Cebu and spending time on Mindanao near Dipolog. But I have a few days that I can explore other places, just haven't decided which places yet. By the way, I haven't used either camera, but I thought I read/saw reviews that the DJI Action 4 has better night capabilities than the GoPro. You mentioned something about the low-light issue at night in the video.

[@travelingkakabsat]

This is favorite island thus far!! It is so naturally beautiful and LOVE how largely undeveloped it is. When we visited in June from Cali, we stayed in the heart of BGC, a beachfront Boracay resort, and a new beachfront, boutique hotel in Siargao. Stayed in El Nido beachfront resort that served the best Filipino breakfast a few years ago as well. Can you tell how much I love the beach?! 😂 Wish I had more time in Siargao, it is so easy to escape Tourism Road when you want to, and just enjoy nature 😊
