Dude, I’m from the Philippines ,but have never traveled outside Luzon and left my beautiful country 😌and since watching KZbin, and enjoying you foreigners vlogging places in my beautiful country, I TRULY APPRECIATE YOU ALL!🙏you guys are taking me to places I’ve never been in my country! Thank you ! Keep traveling, and enjoy the filipino camaraderie and hospitality .♥️🙏😉🇵🇭🤙

Likewise, mine's from Baguio to Mindoro. My wish is to bring my family from QC, where I grew up, to the (safest) farthest south of the Philippines as possible.

I admire those vlogger always interact with local people and try to understand and speak the language. You are one of my favorite now along with Caloy, Bret, and Kulas

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

I love hearing this! Thank you!!

[@BillGreenAZ]

@@travelescapesOFFICIAL It's a matter of showing respect to learn at least a few words of the local language. I try to do it for every new country I visit.

[@AlexisMagtajas]

I'm from Bohol and just started binge-watching your videos. Thanks for visiting our province.

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

Ooohh I live in Bohol! Thank you for binge watching! 😅

[@sonnycruz3812]

Hello Jonathan from 🇨🇦. I do appreciate you showing the world how beautiful Philippines is. And how you interact with locals is pretty amazing. You show them respect and that’s how vloggers succeed. More power Jonathan.

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

Thanks, Sonny! I see no reason not to treat everyone with the same respect and kindness they show me! Thank you for watching!

[@sonnycruz3812]

The reason why I admire your respect for the locals is that you don’t make fun of their intonations or accents and their broken English when they talk to you, unlike some vloggers I’ve seen where they make fun of how locals speak. You’re one some vloggers should emulate and learn from. You’ve been raised well, and kudos to your parents. Good job. Your channel will grow big time !keep it up!

[@MistisongBangus]

[@obetberroya9447]

Hello Jonathan. Puno has 2 meanings, depending on how you pronounce it. If you say it fast, puno will mean full. But if you say it slowly , puno will mean Tree. That's how Filipino/tagalog dialect is. There are many words that may mean different things depending on the pronunciation.

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

oh wow... that's tricky! haha.. thank you for explaining this!

[@sugbu-anon2035]

Punó=full púno=tree

[@glamalil]

Mapûno = lots of trees, Mapupunô = it's going to get full, Macapunô = coconut jelly

[@ArchieS-id8lf]

Love how locals will ask a random stranger if they have a girlfriend

[@rtorh7323]

its not just how you pronounce but on which dialect for this specific word..we shared a lot same words but different meaning..example is the word “langgam”

[@omegaman9330]

[@saintjao14]

Hey Jonathan, I love the place!!!! Thank you for showing it. You are definitely in the right direction. Please keep doing what you are doing now, immersing yourself in Filipino culture. I am excited to see you hit 100k in the Philippines.

[@doc2log]

Bohol does not have crocs or alligators, provably in the distant past but no longer in the present. Places in the Philipoines which still have crocs are Palawan, Agusan provinces, Surigao, and in the north like Cagayan Valley, isabela.

[@venuscoggins3479]

Hi Jonathan! So you finally went to Loboc and stayed at Loboc River Resort , there’s no crocodile in there as you been thinking of the way it’s located. Been there too but I SUP at the other resort Fox & The Firefly Cottages. Have fun exploring my hometown.

Love the raw and "real" content, this is what travelling is all about. Please don't ever sell out and become one of those "commercialised" travel vloggers who does it more for the fame than the love, many of them have forgotten why they started doing it. Don't miss Moalboal either, if you haven't been there, great little village about 3 hours from Cebu City, then check out Kawasan Falls, its beautiful.

[@michaelfloydmanding9114]

Hey Jon! Born & raised in Bohol here, but now based in Europe. Thanks for promoting my home province to the world. Generally, we still have a lot of things to improve. Coming home in December. Now a big fan & would like to show you around 🤗.

Jonathan, as far as i can remember, there are no crocs in Bohol. I could be wrong but, that resort is quite a gem. My next visit to the Philippines would definitely include that place in my itinerary. Happy Thanksgiving from Nashville Tennessee.

I already have the footage from the next day and thought about putting it together with this one for a longer video, but that would have taken a couple more days of editing, so I just went ahead and posted the first day. Several viewers have requested longer videos now, so I may start doing that! And I'm happy to give you the tour!! Thank you for watching as always, RV !

Hi Jonathan, great video of your travels and adventures on your way to Loboc River Resort. That place was so unique with all of the walkways built up on stilts and the the living quarters. Glad you included the footage of the river banks, it was fabulous. The way the sun was shining you could the reflection of the Palm trees in the water. Looking forward to part 2 of this video of the Chocolate hills and the Tarsiers. The footage of the Gas Station attendants helping you learn the local language was interesting as well.

Theres no croc.in loboc river the reason why the buildings above the ground its bec easily get flooded especially along the river when theres alot of rain.Glad you enjoy your stay there in the resort.

[@moondustgirl2132]

Here in Luzon, there's a resort in Quezon Province called Villa Escudero (which i've been to 3x). I highly recommend it if you visit Luzon again. It's a farm resort which showcases the old rural way of life in PH. Even the staff are dressed in the native attire used in the olden days. (Check out Fernando Amorsolo paintings to get an idea,) They have a a beautiful river too where you do bamboo rafting. Plus they have a cultural show featuring all the native dances of PH. You'll be surprised how many there are and how artistic and entertaining they are to watch. And you can also eat at the artificial falls with your feet in water. Many other attractions there to see and do. Check out their website. :)

From google for Loboc river: "There are no crocodiles or anything in the river that is dangerous. The most dangerous thing would be paddling too close to the river bank and a coconut falling on your head." I think you mentioned it twice about crocodiles.

Hi Jonathan. I've been to the Philippines twice and both times to Bohol. My fiance and I went to "The Bohol Bee Farm" on a private tour and stayed there way too long and missed the cave that is nearby. We stayed there the second time and it was just amazing to absorb the whole environment at the farm. I did find it too hot coming from New Zealand. I tresure my time in the Phillippines. The best experience of my life.

Maganda. The woodfloor, I wish mine is that shiny. Wala( no) crocs in Pinas Mr. Croc Dundee ( hehe). The first and last time I saw a croc was when I was little. It was an albino croc on display in a little nook by the theater. It lived for a long time. I could understand that when people see little bridges attached together In order to get from pt a to pt b that there's crocs underneath somewhere. Maybe ahas (snake) eeeewwwwhhh.😱 that's about the scariest monster under the bridges. But they just get their bolo or mahaba (long) kutsilyo (knife) I forgot the exact tagalog and they'll just start chopping it. Ha ha! Great place you found there good job JJ. Told u b4 that pinoys like to shorten and repeat names. Like halo halo (mix mix). Jonathan Travel(middle name) Escapes., you'll b called JT. Or Jonjon. Just get a pinay Gf so your pinoy ways will be accelerated. That carinderia girl looks cute. I could introduce u to my niece but she's here in US as a nurse and hardly speak tagalog. But she's a keeper, an angel. She babysat for a doctor couple's kid for a while and didn't know that she saved up all her earnings only to send it to the Philippines to help raising her cousins (pure golden heart). I'm gonna start crying. Okidoki, that's all for now JJ. Bye, b careful, God Bless.🙋‍♀️🙏
