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!!

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!

[@matrices3987]

Ocean currents have nothing to do with the rotation of the earth.

[@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.

[@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.

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.

[@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.

[@PizzaLord]

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.

[@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.

Siargao is like an Old late 80’s vibe.. pls maintain it that way..don’t allow big concrete hotels..

[@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 🤔

[@azd3boom144]

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

[@ericdemeo5249]

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

[@marierocher4422]

Jackfruit and lanzones are my best. Please try the very small size pineapple is so sweet.

[@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]

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

@@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.

Thanks! I’ve never really done a video like this giving a full tour. I thought I would try it out and see if viewers like the more informative video style. Thanks for your feedback!

[@pinkvelvet3865]

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.

[@user-fq7zh1sn9g]

Wow! Never been to Siargao. I must put on my list to Travel someday🙂 Thanks again for sharing your Travel video, very informative. The fruits and food dishes looks good🙂

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

I loved the night life when I was here. I tried surfing for my first time ever but unfortunately I dislocated my finger, I didn't know it was so rocky at Cloud 9.
