Visiting a floating village in Agusan Marsh, Mindanao

[@kennyboyreyes8655]

hello sir, thank you very much for exploring our place, even though it is far away, you went even though I don't live there, but my loved ones are still there, and the man you talked to is my uncle, even though I live here in Metro Manila. somehow I will never forget that place, thank you for visiting and I hope you will come back and welcome always😊

Hi, I loved visiting Panlubahan. It's such a different, special place. I've tried helping the Protected Area people with information on how to deal with the hyacinth problem.

Where is the local convenience store? This was the most interesting video that I have seen in a long time. Thank you for sharing.

[@ajphilippineexpat]

You're welcome! The convenience store is at the southern (?) end of the tribal village. This video is the first documentary style I've tried.

[@rayarmendariz1233]

@@ajphilippineexpat In my opinion you did a good documentary.

[@CaseyJones-yj5kn]

This is definitely a part of Mindanao I wasn’t aware of! Thanks for sharing it!! My wife tells me that’s where Lolong was from…the largest croc 😳

[@ajphilippineexpat]

Yes from the Agusan River. I didn't see a croc on my trip but did feel a bit of fear when I jumped in the water. That's probably a leftover from when I lived in Darwin.

Cool trip very few will ever experience. Nice. Brought out the PhD in you I’m sure. Thanks for the tour

[@ajphilippineexpat]

You're welcome, and yes foreigners almost never visit Panlabuhan. One of the hidden gems (in the rough) of Mindanao.

[@DoubtingThomas333]

Very interesting experience for you, I'm sure. I'm quite surprised myself. 😮

[@ajphilippineexpat]

It was a great experience, mostly cultural rather than environmental since I didn't spend much time exploring the different swamp habitats.

[@DoubtingThomas333]

@AJ's Philippine expat footsteps just the fact people live there and like that. Reminds me of Indonesia in the old capital city where people have floating houses, just this is more rural.

[@ajphilippineexpat]

Yeah, hi Robin I'm fine. Just waiting until I get home before publishing the next video.
