WHAT IS ZAMBOANGA SIBUGAY? Philippines Motor Travel Across Mindanao (BecomingFilipino)

WHAT IS ZAMBOANGA SIBUGAY?
Well, it is a Province in Mindanao on the Zamboanga Peninsula, and one that I just arrived in driving my motor across Mindanao from Davao City. In this video, we start in Lakewood Zamboanga Del Sur. The Municipality is literally home to a lake called "wood lake". From there, we head down the highway to Buug, stop for coffee and fruits along the way... before arriving in Ipil, the capital of Zamboanga Sibugay Province.
I was lucky... my favorite place to stop for a snack was open!!!
What is Zamboanga Sibugay? Well, we learn a little more at the end of the video when I meet a local!
Power On!

Zamboanga needs this kind of exposure, tourism would be of great benefit to the area.

Subanen is our tribal language, good morning in Subanen is "Ghempya Sheselem". I'm now here in Davao city. "Poquito" means "a small", the right translation is "Poco" or "a little bit".

Zamboanga Peninsula was composed of 1 City and 3 Provinces, namely: Zamboanga City, Zamboanga del Norte, Zamboanga del Sur and Zamboanga Sibugay. Pueblo was the central downtown of Zamboanga City. Dipolog City was the capital city of Zamboanga del Norte. Pagadian City was the capital city of Zamboanga del Sur. Municipality of Ipil was the capital of Zamboanga Sibugay. Chavacano was the official language of Zamboanga City. Bisaya (Cebuano) was the official language of the 3 mentioned provinces. Good luck!!! Pasya is laag in Chavacano. Amping!!! Cuidao!!!

[@ynameje4317]

Sakto. Dipolog here.

[@miraevanano1412]

Bisaya??Official language haaahahaha.

[@JourneyWithDavaoJack]

Hello Kulas. It's been three years since I visited the Philippines last. I am always so busy but I also always take time to keep up with your videos. As much as we miss the Philippines, we DO have many Phil-Am friends here in Texas to CHIKA CHIKA with. Thank you for keeping us all connected.

[@xinziearusuke4696]

[@monchan54]

Learned something new today, thanks to you, Datu Kulas. Didn't know that there was another meaning to "ATM" in PI, as you demonstrated @9:16 into the video. Gotta be careful asking locals w/c one I mean if I should need an ATM. LOL! BTW, don't know when you hit 1M subscribers, but CONGRATULATIONS, kapatid! Amping and lakas pa more! Cheers!

[@christopherturco650]

I've felt like I've been on this trip with you as I watch. Almost as good as being there in person! This has been such a trip of good vibes. Love the people you've encountered along the way - old and new friends alike. I am so surprised, however, that the ladies at Kape Tiempo had never had dodol before even though they are somewhat close to the area where you got it.

[@CayorZson]

My father watch you everytime but he suddenly passed away 😔😔😔 in 2021 January 4

[@manuelpenaranda7444]

[@rodelsalatan6994]

Galing ni colas nakarating na sa bayan natin ❤❤❤. From paranaque

[@jinph9548]

Very beautiful. I hope our DOT would help these resorts affected by the pandemic to bounce back. I have never been to this place but in this video, I can see so much potential it just needs a little help from our tourism department and let it be known overseas and included in our tourism ads.

[@starryglowhawkins6044]

Love it! 😍😍😍

[@JM-ij4fn]

I've never been to this part of our island. It's like I'm having a road trip within Zamboanga peninsula.

[@maedana1150]

From Ipil Zamboanga Sibugay,thank you kulas....

[@marlaruce]

Whenever the place Zamboanga is mentioned, what cames into my mind is Zamboanga City and nothing more. Little do I know that there are other places named Zamboanga like Zamboango Sibugay which I must admit do not know anything about the place. At least now, I got to know something about the place from your vlog.

[@allenfrancis8107]

Zamboanga city, zamboanga sibugay, zamboanga delnorte, del sur are all part part of zamboanga peninsula

Thanks for learning with me

Did you know in some parts of the Philippines that it is rude to take away plates from the table even if you're finished if there is still someone eating. Plates should be ot be taken away until everyone is done eating. :)

[@elmerfrejoles98]

Thanks for showing man! We like your enthusiasm about touring Mindanao! Most local people in PH outside of Mindanao wouldn't even dare go where you went because of bad perception in that area. With changing image and publicity, more tourists would visit those places.

[@AngryKittens]

Kuya's "origin" of Sibugay from "Sibug bagay" is folk etymology, uses Cebuano words, and INCORRECT. As usual, when someone claims that the name of some place in the Philippines is because of Word A + Word B, or involves some sort of "misunderstanding" between natives and foreigners, they are ALWAYS wrong. Compound words are very rare in Filipino languages. The name is derived from the Subanen village of Sibugay (spelled Sibuguey, Sibuguei, Sibuguy, etc. in Spanish records) which was friendly to the Spanish during the Moro Wars of the Spanish colonial period. It's also the origin of the name of Sibuguey Bay. It was a former subject of Cachil Corralat (Sultan Kudarat of the Maguindanao Sultanate) and a significant outpost during the Spanish conquest. The MEANING of the name is not known. But it's etymology would be Subanen, not Cebuano, like Kuya describes it as.

Hello kulas, pokito is Spanish language for little my father was born in Zamboanga dipolog city. They speak some kind of Spanish language mix.

[@franzjosephaque2066]

Sibugay comes from visayan word sibog which is come closer to seat. And you had a mallachan sort of like banana ketchup the original color is yellowish-orange 🍌🍶 And you dip it on fried saba bananas that is similar to plantain 🍌🍌🍌🍶 And you went there before just couple months before the pandemic hit. And the park that you went was abandoned maybe it was due to the pandemic. And it had landslide the bus stop 🚌🛑 It gets land slide when it rains really hard 🌧🌧🌧🪨🪨🪨 And it is really hot from 10 AM to 3PM because it is closer to the equator and the sun is further from the atmosphere ☀️ It gets really hot at 12 noon in Canada and US because it is farther on the equator ☀️🕛🇨🇦🇺🇸 And it is like a 10 hour drive from Davao City to Ipil. It is better to live at midnight because it is less traffic 🕛🚫🚥🚦🚗🚙🚌🚐🚛🚚🛻🏍🛵 And the guy from Ipil had a shirt from Viajero which was ordered online from Cagayan De Oro and sent to Ipil.
