I'm surprised with the amount of Muslims there
Mindanao Pretty Much Most Are Muslim , Some Christians and Some Catholic Too …. Don’t believe What People’s Say I Think it’s Ok Now …. Your in Southern Tip Close To SABAH , MALAYSIA…. ✌️👌👍👍👍👍🙏💕❤️🇺🇸
actually we are just use to say.. take care... but it doesnt mean its dangerous... we are just really use to say.. take care...
YOU LOOKS LIKE INDIAN
Don't forget to visit Indonesia.
I’m a christian and pure filipino tawi-tawi is a safe place muslim are so friendly and respectful
600 years before philipine full muslim country brother that real hisry spanish mishanary change to all peoplels chiritianity thats ture inshaa allah ll back all true fath again islam
@@siyabdeen Before that, the Philippine society worshipped nature. Should we revert back to this religion, too? Your mentality is backwards.
All islam country save
Also about 1390 years ago, many countries were Christian, until Islamic conquest of the Middle East. The countries there should be back to Christianity, since Islam was forced on many people. @@siyabdeen
I from india Muslim thanks brahter happy you life
May God protect our Muslim brothers in the Philippines, China, India, Malaysia and Indonesia
Everything are protected. No one will be oppressed in your brothers. It's quiet if they don't sow terror
Aamiin
@@tisoy6691what d y mean bro?muslim never make terror like you
Amen🤲
indonesia?
Philipinos just like other Malay people in Malaysia, Indonesia & Brunei ...the way they speak, their gesture and heart
My fellow Muslims from Philippines greetings from Mombasa Kenya 🇰🇪 Africa we love you so much
Much love Akhi
Tawi Tawi is a beautiful and a peaceful place..I only hear much greetings of Salam Assalamualaikum...masya Allah...alhamdulillah...I am from Sabah Malaysia
Salam my brother, much love to Malaysia, you can watch my series there also!
Sabah, Philippines😊
@aungmyintoo4635 why filipinos kept saying that sabah is Philippines? Why yall didnt claim it now? Claim it if you can and stop talking "sabah is Philippines" its so annoying
@@HannahHolalala 🤣🤣🤣
@@Nguyendelacruzsingh laugh until u get it, i dare u 💀
Philippines riches is really in the hearts of Filipinos. Life here is very slow moving, relaxed atmosphere, not competing or digging deeper , it means take your time and you will get there. MUST BE PATIENT and find your happiness.
Very well said
That's what I had imagine Philippines when I saw their lofi edits and you confirmed it for me, thanks
People in tawi- tawi are great people. Its nice to see that place on peaceful as ever.
Yes they are!
I love the muslim people of the Philippines! Sobrang babait nila.
MashaAllah such friendly people♡.. Asalamualaykum from Philippines as well 🇵🇭 ^^
Wasalam thank you!
do people in tawi-tawi speak Malay?
❤
Some times people just say it’s not safe, but when you go to see it your self, it looks other way round, you meet so many friendly people and have good fun.
this is very true!
Thank you to President Duarte for developing Muslim Southern part of Philippines where people can live in peace. ❤️ from Kuching City Sarawak East Malaysia
I don't see any development
I'm Muslim from the south. Mindanao. I dont see any development.
@@acesrusselcloud5676 Maybe in your province, in my place Parang Maguindanao we're developing! We have lot of budgets in BARMM and I benefits a lot. We're creating new BARMM office in our place, I get scholarships because of BARMM and I can say a lot! We're developing slowly thou but your case is different since you're from South. We're developing also our oil that Moro protected for many decades so watch out, Mindanao will be huge in the future
Salam brother! A Muslim here with some Chinese blood and Bruneian descent! Thanks for checking on us! I'm from North of Philippines or you call Manila but staying in Mindanao at the moment!
Before president duterte the Philippines' national debt is 6 trillion pesos. After he leaves The position the Philippine's debt amounted to 13 trillion pesos. The corruption is worst. For example, in Philhealth alone 15 billion pesos were stolen by corrupt officials. I thought it was Glorias's term that has the worst corruption. After Marcos Sr, But it was Dutertes' administration. I didn't say illegal drugs shouldn't be a concern but corruption is more worst. It is the root of poverty which leads to the criminal act like drugs.
I’m an American born Filipino. I wish I had access to this commerce/lifestyle in Southern CA, especially the seaside markets. The closest I can get to this is Rosarito and Ensenada, our Latino counterparts. The nicest people on the planet are those who sell in open air markets, especially the street food!
Yes this is available all over the Philippines, it truly is a beautiful place
You're Asian kuya
Ma sha Allah. Bongao town has improved a lot. ! So many Commercial Establishments has risen up! Modernized now.
I'm from sulu, but I say what tawi-tawian are great people and very kind thank you for visit our place, and please come to visit here in sulu bro.
Thanks! 😃
I hope sultan sulu not claim sabah.....
@@narutokun5765shame on you! Sabah is belong to the Sultanate of Sulu, but I don't care! Malaysia stealing the country which is sabah is belong to the Philippines 🇵🇭
Is sulu safe for foreigners to visit
You are lucky!
You have reached Tawi tawi in your travels. We love our islands in Southern Philippines so much! Its largely muslim population! Like me, l love my muslim islands so much. You should see my child hood town too. The small town of Jolo, Sulu. 🌺💖🌺
Hopefully next time I will do that!
Hello Rose, I am a Pilipino and my name is Thelma, may question lang ako if you don't mind. My son is looking for a Filipina Muslim wife, may roon kbang kilala na ma refer mo to my son or my Filipino website ba na pwedeng ma meet na Filipina Muslim. Please let know, maraming salamat.
Love from Pakistan for our filpino Muslim brothers and sisters ❤
I’m a Catholic,but I respect every religion,We are all human being,We should love one another and respect mas all…thank you so much for showing me my country,it’s been so long since I went home..
I had the chance to visit Tawi-tawi in 2022. The place is a melting pot of different cultures and traditions. It's one of the safest province that I've been to in the Philippines.
You should have stayed longer bro. Haha. Two days is not enough for you to discover what Tawi-tawi has to offer.
I know I thought because of its size It would be enough, but its okay Ill def be back!
@@myertravels I'm also planning to revisit soon and go to the other island municipalities of the Tawi-Tawi.
P.S. I just bumped into your YT channel and am watching all of your videos now. HAHAHA. Thank you for visiting our country.

Nice vlog myer.I have never been to this part of our country would love to in the future.Thank you for featuring tawi-tawi.Its indeed a beautiful place it’s just that there’s tons of misconceptions that it’s dangerous and infested with terrorists.Its heartwarming that it’s been documented that it’s definitely safe and enjoyable to visit this place.
Thank you for giving us a bird’s eye view of the beautiful Tawi-tawi!
Thank you too!
You like that remoteness? Then you should try BATANES the northern most of island of the Philippines. Beautiful and distinctive different from the rest of the Country.
Next time I will do so
@@myertravels yeah batanes is underrated but understandable considering how hard it is to get there
Batanes is a must. Make sure theres no typhoon when you go there.
Yes that is very developed Muslim's part of philipone recognized to watch women dressed scarf on head congratulation to be living with dignity as Muslim women in philipine.❤😂🎉❤
Salam aleykoum brother =) I am also making vlogs and I just discovered your channel with this video.

It’s a great place to visit
that's just normal for us tausug ppl to be friendly ❤😊
We enjoyed visit with you 😊 thanks 👍🏼
I really have to visit here. They seem very humble and friendly people, of course it doesn't matter where you go, apply precautions and common sense.
Very beautiful, Philibenese islamic regions are very safe and hostable
I've always heard Tawi-tawi was unsafe but you proved me wrong. You're so friendly to the locals and speak clear english to them. I'm gonna watch all your vlogs from Massachusets.
Awesome thank you!
It is the msm propogandists who wanted to tarnish the Muslim communities reputation
Assalamualaikum brother Myer, great to see your travel.I enjoyed watching this, Masha Allah. So we waiting you visit our country, Indonesia. We welcome you.
Wasalam and thank you brother
This Vlog of yours is very Pure and have a very positive Vibes I love the way You stroll around the place and Show How Beautiful Tawi Tawi is I'm a Filipino but I've never been in tawi tawi Soon I will visit that Beautiful Place As well More power to your vlog and keep safe always my friend. Since I Watched your vlog in Zamboaga City I'm still here enjoying watching
Thank you so much 🙂
I never believed anything that the media says I tell from my eye 👁️ those people very nice kind
Exactly! thank you
If you're an extremist kidnapper of that island, how can you kidnap foreigners if you will be the one to say it's dangerous over there?
Sulu is just dangerous before because the Government doesn't give the Muslims their own rights when infact Muslims were there for 600 years before Magellan came and colonized most part of the Philippines. And those terrorist are just dogs of politicians who use Islam so the Muslims will not go against them
Masyaa Allah hope can be there Insyaa Allah from🇸🇬
Thank you Sir for this video! I like Mallasia, Philippine, Indonesia.
Nice one bro,new subs here,tnx for promoting our Mindanao,
Thanks for the sub!
Panggih Panggih. Pan Pan, Tawi Tawi means cute. Repeating the words means small, little or cute. Like Bongao ,is a small town. Tawi Tawi is a small Province with many small, tiny islands. So, Tawi tawi is just a small, with many tiny, cute islands. 🌺💖🌺
Thanks for sharing!!
i would like to visit too are you from this place
@@yousafsardar8411 yes. Go! And enjoy the islands.
You are near the Mt Bongao in this Vlog.
Reason why Mindanao was once marked as an unsafe place to visit in the Philippines because a “few” Foreigners were kidnapped by the Rebels. They were there as Missionaries converting Muslims to become Christians. A few Missionaries were kidnapped and never seen again. I heard this story back in the 90’s.
I’m pretty sure they will improve Tawi-Tawi in the near future. That place is the Seaweed Capital of the Philippines.
I see, yea but it was a great place and I felt very safe
Of course, Tawi Tawi is a muslim majority teritory. You cannot just go round and land there and attempt to convert people from muslim to christianity? That is an outright offensive to their way of life and faith. I will not be surprise if you will find yourself in a very dangerous place if that's the case. And then since you are an outsider you should be careful not to offend a local. Wag siga siga eh di ka naman taga doon. But if you go there, behave , be polite , just enjoy the local scenes, respect the way of life of the locals then I'm pretty sure you will be unharmed. That's my take on that.
Missionary christian is kill because Quran teach if you not convert you will die or pay money for your life
is there any airport there in tawi tawi ., are you from there
Ouh i see...
Appreciate taking us off the beaten track.
Salam bro. Glad to see you showing the world the different cultures. Filipino are def kind and social people.
Wasalam, thank you brother!
Aww man you missed out. That cone shaped thing wrapped in banana leaf is one of best snacks from that region. If I remember correctly, its a steamed dessert made with rice flour and coconut milk. It has a rather gentle type of sweetness and fragrance thanks to the banana leaf.
Darn its okay next time I will def try
Alhamdulillah, I'm from Malaysia and first time watching your video✌️❤
Hope you enjoyed it! Welcome aboard! You can go back and watch my Malaysia videos also! Thank You!!
Thank you for sharing! ❤️
Thanks for watching!
It’s time for mindanao to be explored..
From east to west, north or south of the Philippines.....we are all of the same blood, nothing will change.....we are Filipinos.
They are not fat like majority of Filipinos… What is going here???
Good morning family and good health to everyone especially MENTAL. Thank you brother for sharing. 💯💕💯✌️
Thank you for watching!
it is so amazing that even the most remote part of the Philippines every where u go there are always english signages on the market, shops and stores
Tawi tawi is such a charming town but because of stereotypes it lags behind in development.
So what is the best place in the Philippines the best state in the Philippines which is 99 percent Muslim? Noise
Come to Istanbul brother❤
Soon i Will!
I hope people from tawitawi will maintain their architecture, their cultural heritage and everything unique from them
Terimakasih atas segala informasinya.. Saya orang Indonesia tetapi sangat senang dengan video anda yang menunjukkan kepada dunia luar bahwa beberapa daerah yang dianggap "tidak aman" ternyata Philippines adalah daerah yang aman dan ramah.
Masha Allah, May Allah Keep them safe aamiin
this is the real adventure bro haha just walk around without planning...thumbs up
Thanks for watching!
Thankyou for this beautiful vedio 👍❤️
My pleasure 😊
You are in “ MOROLAND “ tawi-tawi and you are alive. You made it.
Long live islam and muslims from Sri Lanka ❤
Allahumma ameen
Nice video mate.
By the way what camera are you using?
Thanks for the tour about tawi tawi am i going to visit there
are you Muslim my friend
Yes he is
lam also Muslim that is why l loved you
Yes I am!! Much Love
Yeah nope. Our last island there is Sibuto island and another smaller island facing Sabah, Philippines 😂 and to the west of Tawi-tawi island is Turtle island in Sulu sea our boundary guard island on Malaysia but Sabah, Philippines.
Thank you for clarifying
@@myertravels yeah you're welcome 😂 but wait am sure Malaysians will protest in my posts 😂😂😂
Its really funny how malaysia have 5 unclaimed states in Thailand, but our country never trying to claim it. But The Philippines claimed that Sabah as their territory, but actually its not 😂 The Sultan of brunei have never gave sabah to sulu
@@HannahHolalala you problem with Thailand isn't ours 😂😂😂 you claim them if you wish.
But malaysia kept paying rental paymenta to sulu sultanate isn't it a fact of Philippines ownership of Sabah? Then Sulu sultan ceded Sulu sultanate to Republic of the Philippines that included too the Sabah territory
U can say anything u want,but malaysia won the courts, go check it out 😂@@kilometer6712
Hello Myer Loved Video Love California ❤❤
Hello 😊 thank you
The place is clean. I am impressed!
Christians need to inquire to the Tawi-Tawi Local Government if it's safe to visit. Anywhere in Mindanao, there are towns where Christians need to be escorted by the local Police.
No, they won’t bother you, I met Christians staying in my hotel and they had no issues.
@@myertravels The locals are fine but you can never tell when insurgents from Sabah will have a clash with the Marines. Becoming Filipino vloger made a filming in Jolo and Basilan. The Mayor and Tourism Dept asked him to be escorted at the given situation.
You dont know what u are typing, come to Mindanao and u will know how safe it is.
The very safe City in the Philippines is actually in Mindanao named Davao City.
@@OceanCy_7th Davao City is a Duterte turf. My cousins are from Iligan City. There is a difference between Maranao and Tausug Muslim. Maranao are peaceful business people of Misamis YET STILL, they did not say a word when Isis was around Misamis. You know the story.
@@ronmutuc8009 U said anywhere in Mindanao that Chirstians need Police escort. Christians in Mindanao dont need Police escort LOL. In Davao City there are so many Muslim with different tribes and no problem living with Christians, even in Luzon Manila have many Muslims living there.
So cool! Thanks for sharing. Be safe.
Thank you! Will do!
Hi idol im from Mindanao bukidnon province.
Thank you for filming tawi tawi.
I never been there.
I'm a Filipino Catholic but have a Muslim aunt as I'm ancestrally from Mindanao. Tawi Tawi I believe has great shipwrights- trimarans.
I would like to visit sometime to taste the Satay. I consider AARM part of the spice islands of SE Asia.
Sinkil is a beautiful cultural dance- our take on the Ramayana Epic. Salam Alekum- we're all Malay Austronesian.
Mabuhay.
Greetings to you and my Muslim brothers in the world ❤
Menjelajahi tawi tawi,asik sahabatkuu,, perjalanan yg menyenangkan
