I remember I was on this island last Dec 2022, the vibe is quite different. Few residents and probably more people will settle here in the next decade or so. And yes, I'm planning to buy/build a house as a retirement home in the future. Enjoy your Siargao vacation mate!
Thanks for the lovely comment, yeah completely advise it as a place to settle down and even if you wanted to move on from their the development will definitely appreciate in value regardless, really nice place 😊
My favourite place in siargao and every time we’re going home at going by drive from Davao to siargao so lovely place and full of fun and happy family blessings
Meh,, not a single cultural site to be seen. Waves are average. Better going to Mentawais for uncrowded beaches and surf. Why do Bali need to be compared with this island while Bali has many amazing sibling islands for surf destinations. 😂😂😂😂. Same experience? Buahahhaa. Mentawais blow this siargao soooo far away, yet no Mentawaians claiming their islands better than Bali. I bet you can't prove me wrong.
Did you watch Nias Pro 2024? Now that's what we call proper surf competition, even your marama got big barrels there 😂😂😂, next will be Rip Curl Padang-padang 2024 Bali. Oh, did you see how much better Mentawais by footages of Andi Eigenman & Philmar's vacation at Aloita resort Mentawais this early June, must be painful for you to know that what I've told you is true, right? You don't have any significant cultural sites like Bali, not even your waves on the same calibre, then what is your comparison based from? We have dozens if not hundreds far less crowded islands for surf, yet they don't shamelessly obsessed to compare their island to Bali for tourism gain 😂😂😂.
@@simplyyank1119 eww did someone get out on the wrong side of the bed today? It’s a personal opinion which we are all entitled to. Have the day that you deserve…
they always says Phi is a 3rd world country bec urban devt is not that expansive, particularly in provinces, well..urban devt in the Phi is highly regulated by the govt. many parts are protected and many communities put premium on preserving its natural beauty and landscape...and we valued it...
We'll never beat Indonesia in tourists arrivals..if they have 18-20million a year against 3-5million arrivals in the Philippines.. not very nice to compare between the two country they were way too far in thier arrivals
Yeah we totally understand but even though Bali is very beautiful, it has too many tourists and not that cheap especially in touristy areas. Thank you for you insight Larry.

Thank you for the lovely message :)
If you check out Siquijor also. It has the Siargao vibes with much much less tourists. Enjoy Phils.
Have heard fabulous things about Siquijor, it is on the list 😊
Wow that's awesome 👌
Thank you 😊😊😊
Enjoy your trip.
Thank you Paul!!!
Siargao is better than Bali for sure. Same experience, less commercial. It's like Bali was 10 years ago before the crazy overdevelopment happened.

@simplyyank1119 have you heard of personal opinions?
Just a thought 🤔💭
Thanks for the views also 😘

My favorite in Siargao is Bucas Grande and magpupungko.
Thank you for the recommendations, maybe when where are there again we'll try and check them out

That is a very good point, thank you.
wow.....
You are comparing a country to an island, that could be a mismatch, anyway they have their own beauty that captivate travelers so no need to compare.

I like your video but protect your skin on your head with a broad brimmed hat. It looks painful to see your fair skin being burnt by the tropical sun.
Thank you for your comment we will do better to protect ourselves from the sun 😊
