SCARY FLIGHT To Philippines Most ISOLATED Town - Palanan, Isabela
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 авг 2024
- THERE ARE MANY ISOLATED ISLANDS IN THE PHILIPPINES.
But this might be Philippines most isolated town, since it lies on the largest island of Luzon, but is totally disconnected from the "mainland" as the locals call it by the towering Sierra Madre range.
It is so isolated, that Emilio Aguinaldo called it his last capital of the First Philippine Republic!
The only way in is a 6 hour boat trip from Aurora, or a 30 minute flight in a small plane from Cauayan!
So I took a plane from one of the smallest Filipino airlines to find out!

Thanks for coming to Isabela, mate. Come back anytime. You know you will always have a home in Aurora. Will visit you in Davao when I get back to the Philippines. Hope to meet your wife and kiddo soon! We are grateful for your visit and can't thank you enough for featuring our province. Most Isabelinos have never seen the coastal part of Isabela and through your videos, I hope the government can appreciate Isabela more and put more funding towards it. Isabela is rich in culture, history and beautiful untouched nature. Salamat ha! Balik ka ulit. Bring the whole gang next time. 😄😄😄😄 We will make you some Ilocano tupig. ( grilled rice cake with coconut) 👍👍😁😁
Thanks so much for inviting me! This was an awesome trip!
Also yes tupig hehe
Be careful what you wish for. If it's my choice, I'd rather let the place as it is. Virgin, unexplored, natural scenery intact and untouched, gives more value to the rest of the Philippines.
@@michaelamontemayor448 I totally agree with you as per preserving the Philippines and keeping it untouched but also, progress is good.. I'm sure parameters will be set to prevent exploiting its beauty. Maski kalsada man lang sana, matapos na. This will give locals a chance to go to the mainland to seek medical attention without paying arm and a leg. Need pa mag plane para mangibang bayan. Just like any other provinces, I think Isabela deserves a little bit of notice. It is for people to enjoy and it is up to us to respect Mother Nature and preserve it for future generations. If we haven't seen it, we would not appreciate it. And it is up to us to preserve its culture, nature and its wonderful people especially the Dumagats❤️❤️❤️...
@@mbeeler33 agree, concrete roads are acceptable. Be aware that even ordinary inhabitants has the rights to oppose environmental degradation in the pretext of tourism to give jobs to the locals. But who does really profits from it but the wealthy capitalists. The locals remains their slaves. Most of them are naive. They are here to grab not to for charity.
@@KumanderDaot do you have any kontak number from there? like the hotel?
I am a Filipino but never had the chance to tour around the Philippines like you do. Thank you for the virtual tours Kumander. I really really really love your vlogs! ❤❤❤
Thank you KD. As an ordinary Filipino, I do not have the strength and resources to be able to see these remote wonders of The Philippines. Now with you, am teary eyed for the content of your videos, so touching! My knowledge of Philippine Geography, Culture, Food and her diverse people is being polished by your informative video content. Cheers to another awesome entertainment. 🤩🤩🤩
Yes adding my thanks. I always enjoy the videos but this one was very moving to me. For some reason I also got teary…I didn’t know quite why?! Then I read your comment & so I don’t feel strange! I do have relatives not originally from Isabella but moved there years ago from Ilocos Sur. In the “mainland” though. I especially loved -out of order- the family b4 the plane ride, the priest, the daughter of Kuya Boy & somehow how he introduced her -“this is my daughter, my youngest.” I think he said. He seemed pleased for you all to meet. Proud of her Im guessing. The trike ride. The church. The blue lagoon. The aerial views. Well everything. But the priest cracked me up with all his questions. It IS cultural. No offense meant I write this with a smile & love, but I often felt my Philippine relatives were very intrusive with strangers! Lol. It was always “how old are you? Are you married? Are you going to college? Don’t live together b4 marriage…”. 🙊🙈
If KD Anselm sees this please excuse my forwardness. I am still newish but I know you keep your art & work separate from your private life as much as you are able. But I also follow your wife, so I do see those precious aspects of your life too, a bit. You could’ve said to Father when he asked your religion, oh Father you will be glad to hear I’m married to one of your flock & also raising a wee Catholic. Though I’m not sure L is baptized, I suspect she is, just from following N. In any case, it is not your job to please others but I know that would’ve made the friendly & welcoming Father very happy…..
Mahalo for the style of video's. It is nice to see someone highlighting areas of the Philippines not mainstream by other bloggers. Also love the historical context that you tie in to the areas you visit.
Just when we thought that there were no more hidden gems to explore you brought us to the idyllic wonder called Palanan. This has been a rare treat.
KD: the legit travel, culture and history vlogger, documentary creator! Bravo!
It's my first time to see a vlog featuring this part of our country. Amping Kumander!🤙
This vblog, above others I've seen so far, has given me a new APPRECIATION for you, Anselm / KD. Glad I found it. Learned a lot. Was awed by SIGHTS I would've never seen otherwise. (Thought "Blue Lagoon" was only a movie.) Saw genuine Filipino KINDNESS and hospitality THANK YOU, Kumander Daot! Safe travels.
It's incredible that such a blue color at the Blue Lagoon occurs naturally. That is such an amazing sight.
Old Capan is spectacular! I hope you'll spend a little more time there when you return from Palanan.
Yeah! I want to spend more time in Old Gapan!
You’re videos are all great. I’m surprised you’re not in the 500+ if not 1M+ subscribers.
NEVER IN MY LIFE I REACH THOSE PLACES 😊THANKS KUMANDER FOR SHOWING US THIS SIDE OF THE PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭 ❤
Never knew Palanan is isolated as this. Thanks KD for showing the beauty of this place. Truly a hidden Gem!
Good to see your video again Kumander! That’s a heck of plane ride!😮
I watch all Kumander's videos......but I really really like this one.....I could live peacefully in this Palanan Isabela place.....and not many places make me feel peaceful these days.
What captured me in this vlog is the Filipino hospitality. Another great content Kumander
Made all the difference!
As my Filipina wife said, wow, thats a vlog-----going to places we will never see and teaching us the history. Thank you Anselm. It is just so wonderful finding all of the friendly people with family connections. Loved the open trike ride, got you a seat and a leaf----all of the comforts. Brilliant
Wow, thank you for showing us another part of Philippines. Isabela province is beautiful lots of historical houses, hopefully the government will preserve them for future generations.❤
I am so envious Anselm. I guess you have already visited almost if not all the places in the Philippines. As a Filipino, how I wish I have the means to do that too. Through you, I am/was able to see the places in my country which I have not been to and I would like to thank you for that. I pray for your safety always as you do your travels. God bless you always. - Willie Fred Cabalar Badbaden of Toronto
Please say hello to manang Chiquita.
Wow, you continue to show us beautiful places in the Philippines we never knew existed! Great stuff!
Wow! you were able to reach such far place. Always take care and God bless you Kumander Daot.
That's my aunties and uncle in the video 😂 anyway, It was a lot of fun watching your vlog Kumander Daot. I am looking forward to your upcoming videos and adventures 😁
I wonder what route Aguinaldo took when he travel from lubuagan to palanan,,i think by walking through the mountain ranges of cordillera and sierra madre
Nice to see Kumander D with Boy Perstaym and Kulas again!!!!! WOW!!! Very entertaining as well as stunning cinematic shots on this video!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks KD for passing through my beautiful province of Nueva Vizcaya! I am feeling nostalgic right now☹️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Awesome,awesome vlog!Cant wait for the next episode.👌🏼🤙🏼
Thanks for visiting my hometown Isabela Kumander D! Wishing you a safe journey/trip up north in Cagayan Valley. God bless and hope you enjoy your visit and have a memorable adventures in Isabela. You’ll be entering the first town of Isabela which is the municipality of Cordon, my beloved town. Welcome Kumander D!
Nueva Ecija (Esiha), Kumander D. Great travel videos! I'm jealous that you've been to beautiful places in the Philippines. Thank you for sharing your travel vlogs! Take care!😍
Bro respect yo. That's remote and rough out there yet peaceful.
@Kumander Daot, man your the only foreign that traveled almost all of the Philippines. Thank you for loving our country the Philippines and appreciating the hospitality of the filipino people.#pusongpinoy♥️♥️♥️
Good work. Keep pushing forward. 🎉
thanks for showing us a little glimpse of Isabela
your video is yet the first one watched from that place
your courageous enough to go to that place on your own ,hats off to u kumander daot
Kumander Daot, welcome to my hometown Cauayan Isabela. You’re indeed adventurous and brave.
I love you kumander daot! I'm from Isabela and I'm so glad that our province is getting more love! Thank you for this!!!!
You came to my hometown province Isabela my town is Cabatuan before Aurora😊
I flew into Wyoming once on a twin prop plane like that 10 seater. The landing made it the scariest flight of my life. We had to make multiple attempts because the wind kept blowing us off course, but on the third attempt we touched down. It was the only flight where I felt like I was legitimately in danger of crashing.
Oh wait until the next one! The 10 seater was even scarier! The only time I thought the plane was going to blow over!
So instructive, Kumander!
Kumander u are the 1st vlogger to come there
Not even a local vlogger? Why? Maybe the roads or something.
@@salvadorviernes6311 only plane and boat can travel even so its expensive to go there btw the beach and that place is magical
@@furiousprotector8857 So if a boat shown in the video travels once a week. a ten seater plane is once a month?
@@salvadorviernes6311 yes
@@furiousprotector8857 No wonder, there's neither tourists nor vloggers yet it is a beautiful place but so remote. Well it is, what it is.
So grateful u pass by in Nueva Viscaya,our small province.Thanks for visiting Isabela K.D.So beautiful island.Never seen that place yet.no skipp adds.Wishing u more subscriber.God bless ure family en friends❤
Wow! Fr. Sam is truly hospitable and super bait. You're lucky Anselm, he saw you. God bless you Fr.
My kind of place to retire and settle in. It’s like in between Amazon and Papua New Guinea.

Your recent vlogs have been very interesting. You're taking me to remote places in our country which I will not see in my lifetime if it were not for your videos. Long live Kumander Daot.
You always surprise, amaze us thank you Kumander
Yo Welcome to the Cagayan Valley KD .... keep safe!
Welcome to Isabela Commander.. this is my province, enjoy your visit
Thank you Kumander Daot for bringing us there. Never been to that part of the country. I only been to few places in the Philippines lived here in the US more than 30 years.
I am from isabela but never been to this place. Hoping to go next year
I'm from San Mariano Isabela next to Palanan but I've never been there yet. Good video, you guys are funny, enjoyable to watch.
Wow..ganda ng lagoon same in enchanted river na lagoon malinis at bluest.
Thanks for bringing us to the far reaches of my country. Amping pirme.
KD,
I’m impressed dude, I thought I was an intense explorer when I was over there in PI, you’re taking it to a whole different level… Kudos! and Regards,
From the old,
Philippines walker👍
I would also like to add your research on the history of the places you visit are very valuable knowledge for those who view your vlogs. Your wholesome and happy character makes
your videos very entertaining. Thank you.
I liked the airplane ride in to that mysterious hidden place.
Wowww! Enjoy and have a good time Kumander D. ❤👍😍 God bless 🙏
Wow! Such another great adventure Kumander daot! Amping sa byahe. :)
I LOVE this for so many reasons! Thank you for the history lesson, and sharing another beautiful area of the country. Glad you’re safe!
im so happy that this place is still remote. look for a guide and trek to jamolong. and dont foget to feast on cheap rock lobsters while you are there.
youre so brave but this part almost look forgotten and its history is seldom known take care kd
How cool is this. I've been writing down places to visit that are isolated with good beaches and Palanan is one of my top picks. Choice video🥰🥰
KD, the vibe of the place is so peaceful, and the locals are friendly. I just love provincial settings where people are respectful and thankful for venturing their town, esp a person like ur'self. I trust they don't see a white guy visiting. Btw the blue lagoon lives up to its name. The water is truly blue. Have a safe flight back to the mainland...
Wow what an adventure & showing us the most remotest places in the country. Always stay safe & thank you !
wow Anselm great journey i love it😂❤ takecare
Wow KD!! Amazing blue lagoon!
Nice to see this place that I have never been in. Thanks to Kumander Daot for showing this to us
My parents travelled as far Isabela Cagayan because of the Palarong Pambansa days! I only hear of these places from them. Thank you Anselmo❤
Seems kumander d finally found his real purpose. I’ve seen ur downfalls with ur fishponds tru kulas, felt sorry and wished u well…became one of ur 1st subscribers and look at how far you’ve come. Keep up d good work man, u have d best experiences in the country, thank u for showing us those places we never knew existed
Wow !!! you have seen more places in the Philippines remotely visited by Filipinos. 👍👍👍stay safe and God be always with you🙏🙏🙏
I've been there a decade ago. Few Isabelans dream to see that place because it's really risky and too remote though it's called the hidden paradise. By the way, I was born in Isabela. Nice vlog, I love it.
Gwapo kaayo komander stay safe Godbless
buti pa kayo nka punta dyan...salamat for bringing us to this part of our country
Salamat KD, those remote areas are really lovely. How I wish, I can see it's natural beauty .✅
Great video. Can feel the peace set in. Thanks.
traveling the Philippines is easy for foreigners who speaks English because everybody undertand and speak the language..
What I like in your videos is that while watching, it like I'm there too
This is really funny experienced for you kumander Daot,😂😂😂 yes I noticed people are so nice,Amping pa.din👍👍
Forget the fishpond business. You are happier doing tours. Thank you, KD.
Thats a very beautiful and peaceful town. Good place to relax and to have a healthy mind
i think my first time to see this even in a vlog.. beautiful white sand beach.. so untouch
God bless us thank you so much for visiting Philippines and enjoy your life and keep on smiling so that you have long life and healthy. Thank you so much. From Lani D. Nepomuceno, Philippines 🇵🇭
Enjoyed this video immensely. Thanks, Kumander. I'm hoping to be visit Isabela when i get back to the country again. (Don't tell Kulas, but I think your videos are way more entertaining. )
Thx for visiting my home town it has a beautiful island mabuhay ka kumander
You are so brave, Kumander Daot!!
that beach looks great!
You made it! Congratulations!
Soon, road will reach Palanan, Gov't still working on it.
Just fell in love w/ur channel. Very adventurous trips i hope to indulge in someday. Thank you.
Oh, I really wanted to see that place..good for you had been there
Going to Isabela, Palanan,your destination, I'm pretty sure you passed my house in San Mateo. Wow! You guys are very adventurous. Palanan is a place that rarely gets visitors from another country but pretty soon there will be US Military base in Gamu not too far away from Palanan.
Commenting before the vlog is over but I hope and think this is another Diwalwal vlog.
Nice one KD, stunning lagoon. Big tnx KD for extending your extramile, another accomplishment! Have a good one buddy.
The food must be expensive there. Everything has to be shipped by boat. I wonder if a road can be built to cut through the Sierra Madre mountains. But I'm not even sure if that is a good idea. Once a road is built, settlements will sprout along the Sierra Madre roads. The trees in Sierra Madre might disappear in the future once settlements reach that place.
He mentioned and show the road under construction,,it comes all the way from bulacan, 10:12
Beautiful lagoon.thank you k. Daot for showing to people this interesting place .
Such a great trip and experience meeting people. 👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks KD for showing the otherside of Sierra Madre
When I saw Kyle in the vlog, I thought he's finally going to make it to Palanan. But it looks like Anselm went there by himself.
Wonderful vlogging very educational indeed you are the epitome of of being anAmbassador of goodwill amongst Filipinos be safe and will pray for your daily journey so proud of our sense of hospitality happy cheers 🌷🌷🌷
Great presentation of yours ur a nice documentaries ,👍👍👍👍
Wow you made that difficult trip to isabela. Grabe ka KD. Tindi mo.
New subscriber here, Lucky you. I am also from the Province of Isabela and had not been there yet.
