EARTH DAY DIARY - Badjao Spearfishermen, Spearfishing in Bohol, Philippines

- A segment we filmed for Earth Diary about the Badjao fishermen from Bohol, Philippines.
The BADJAO tribe are nomadic SEA GYPSIES. They can be found in SE Asia, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, with numbers around 100,000. Traditionally, the Bajau, even today, live mostly on the sea.
Badjao divers descend 20meters (65feet) to sea floor, hearts slows down to 30beats per minute, squezzes its lung to 1/3 of its initial volume, even without weights he is negatively bouyant enough to strive across the bottom of the sea as if like hunting on land, 2 1/2 minutes of hunting under pressure. He can still manage to stay as long as 5 minutes!
I am a scuba diver. I'm also from the Philippines and most people use the term "badjao" to refer to someone who is very poor or a scavenger. However, the real BADJAO tribe that originated in the southern part of the Philippines are great divers. I really admire how they hunt underwater with only a breath or two. It's rather sad that their good name is used as a term for low life people.
Sending my best to all fisherman in Bohol and all over the Philippines. 👌

Thats because these badjaos that begs on public transports/streets are introducing theirselves as badjao, sometimes they are saying that they came to city coz their resources like house/boat are devastated by natural calamities.
R u sure they are originated from philipine?
their hunting ground has been smashed for centuries, not enough fish now to feed all .
Lol. The "real" badjao. They all real and they go everywhere to spread their culture and lifestyle. No such thing as "real" badjao since everyone have the same culture with slightly different language.
Thanks for the information about your culture. I don't want to make a mistake and disrespect anyone when I go to the Philippines. Because I'm a diver as well scuba and free.
There ought to be an event like this one in the Olympics. These people will definitely bag gold.
Too bad white ppl takes the bag.🤷🏾
They don't have nationality....
High energy❤
I fished with these people and learned now spear fishing is all I want to do with my life can’t wait to move back to the Philippines
I have befriended badjaos at Basilan, Sulu and TawiTawi. I've learned the art of free diving from them. It is the reason why my alias is "badjao" on my 26 years in the Philippine Marine Corps.
Navy seals 👍
Sure ya did.
Are Badjaos all follow islam?
@@rdu239 No
Even if they taught you. If your not from the tribe. U do t have the genetic mutation to do what they do as good as they do. You necer will in all of your life. No offense
The way that man rows the whole boat with one hand and a foot so effortlessly is impressive.
Current
He’s turning it
That why you should cherish what you have. Seeing these people struggle for a living made me feel blessed. May God give them the prosperity.
I'm sure many of them would view every person working 8 hours a day everyday for someone else to barely scrap by as a struggle.
your life might be seen as struggle from their point of view. They might not stress as much as you do.
they living in life of abundance
If this is what you take from watching this video... I don't know man. I couldn't do what they're doing and I find it pretty impressive
They might be happier than us though…
That yellow fish she chopped in half is a raccoon butterflyfish. 11:44
At that size they go for about $140ea in the US for aquariums
Much respect for these people and their fishing technique. I can't barely hold my breath for a minute under water. Wish I can visit them someday.
Evolution did that, not these people.
@@Scriabin_fan A little bit, but evolution isn’t happening that fast so it’s only a little factor. It’s their training. There are people around the world who can hold their breath for even longer. So to say it’s just evolution is wrong.
Our DNAs are pretty wild…to take learned information and experience from one human and develop it as an original talent with biological changes from the previous generation at times in another is just crazy
Badjao are originated from Philippines since 500AD, but migrated coast to coast which is why they reach Indonesia to Malaysia, This Western documentary must put a full description because Malaysia and Indonesia might claim them due to confusion
I'm from Texas,USA. But I think this is such a great way to live. I want to own a ranch and just live off the land, seems such a peaceful way to live.
That's all our ancestors used to do...they definitely weren't as unhappy as us. Do it. Live your dream. ♥️
@@ladykd2355 hey now 😂 who said I was unhappy? But yes, I'm sure they didn't have to much worries
Hi from Galveston, fellow Texan!
I am from the third world the life these people live it is not peaceful at all ,only immigrants know the value of America, just watch the video and be grateful that you live in the richest country in the world, poverty is part of hell ,I have been trying to travel to your country every year via green card for the last thirteen years
@ladykd23 your ancestors lived off more than the land. Just sayin
I remember when I was a kid, domestic flights was so expensive so we opt in to ride a ferry. We usually see badjaos every time the ship docked and we can see them, begging for anything, from the ocean. We throw pieces of coins, sometimes food. I was really amazed on their diving skills imagine me throwing a coin from 3rd floor of ship to them in the ocean, they find those coins in the ocean.
I think what u saw are local kids in the town of the port. Not necessarily Badjaos. I live in such a town. It's become one way for them to earn a few sums for their living.
It's prohibited now
You can see them in land begging.
Superb Dufferson lol who’s gonna stop?
@@hejoaaja_bhholi7937 gurl, the authorities. Are you a Filipino?
Imagine being a diver with all the latest gear and this dude just walks by with his stick
It's amazing how he can still keep his oxygen and energy for that long when he has to spend so much effort moving his arms to keep himself down against the buoyancy. I would be tired and needing to breathe just like in about 15 seconds of doing that.
I'm a filipino and this is my first time hearing this language. After all there are more than a hundred different dialects ( 8 major ) spoken in the Philippines.Tagalog being the universal.
Languages not dialects
@@jrexx2841 80+ filipino dialects
@@user-vo8uh6vv8p Wrong. We have 180+ different languages with respective dialects.
Kaya pala it's difficult for us to be united because of multiple languages 😂😂
@@user-vo8uh6vv8pLanguage*
These badjao divers have a huge potentials to be a an olympic divers that could represent the Philippines. They should start training ppl like them. These people are born and it's already marked in their blood that they're an amazing swimmers.
corruption will prevent that
I was thinking that too. However they live in a simple and excellent healthy lifestyle. Perhaps going in that direction will cause him to have stress and it seems like that something that they like to avoid. Therefore shelf the bounty of nature and feed their families and their content with that.
Learning and knowing with extraordinary people.
Great documentary...! I thank you all.
I from the Philippines, I know we all have different dialects from town to town island to island but without subtitles I'd have no clue what he was saying I never been down south just Manila and iloilo panay
I always admire the diving skills of the badjao tribe.. so amazing❤️
Free diving spearfishermen are some of the best hunters in the world simply because of the conditions they have to deal with to prove for their loved ones.
Respect to the native Badjao from a native Tunisian Amazigh.
Magnificent People of the Sea, merci how splendide is your Filmmaking, capturing the essence of Their Being, Bravo💞
You learn something new everyday. I'm glad to have seen this video and learn a little bit of Badjao culture.
In
The badjau are probably the best underwater hunters
I began diving when I was around 7 years old since I enjoy the sea and it's not far from my house. I was able to hold my breath for two minutes longer when I turned ten since swimming is enjoyable. At the age of 10, I also went swimming with my pals in the middle of the ocean. I haven't been in the sea in almost 12 years, therefore today I can't hold my breath for more than 40 seconds.
The real sons of the sea... 👌🏻

I hope they were paid also for this video. Would be alot of help for them

Greetings from Naples, Florida. We loved those shells at 8:00. Awesome video. Thank you so much for sharing this part of the world with us. 👍
great people ,let them live the way they are,from california
What a great place. God bless this people around.. Thanks for sharing this video
god bless? they are living proof against the existence of god
They are not only great divers but they are also good dancers here in the PH
Dang, looks like overfishing left those waters picked clean
I saw a Lionfish he just ignored. Those things can clean out the whole eco there.
@@DataSpook doesnt matter overfishing is ruining eco systems and that's really unfortunate ;-;
@@bamboozledpotat doesnt matter? well yea it does Lionfish are a big reason to reefs being killed.
they took part on destroying it.... Badjao alwys spear parrot fishes
We call them ORANG BAJO. their community spread along in middle and eastern Indonesia archipelago. Respect for them. Despite they are spread out everywhere but they keep tradition and language.
Nice to know, I saw another video of sea nomads,
but they reside in Borneo .
Philippines= Badjao
Borneo = Bajau.
Im not sure if they are tribally connected to Indonesian Orang Bajo.
I ran out of breath watching this.
😅😂😂😂
Hahahaha i feel you 😂 i just know how to swim, but sustaining breath under water w/out any equipment to breath' it can't be happen🤣
Love you Badjao people , may Jesus bless you and keep you safe ❤️❤️❤️
As I hear the guy talk, it seems like the Badjao dialect has been evolve into a visayan dialect. We are all brothers.
Nope' that is their native dialect/language, i clearly understand them. Though we have a different tribe, we have the same dialect but in a different accent. Our tribe called Sama tribe can be found in Zamboanga City,
Nope.far from bisaya dialect. More of B'laan tribe and some Muslim base on the intonation but still diffrent from these two dialect
My great respect for these Fishermen
I am a Moro from mindanao and I can tell that we have a little similarities in dialect because I understood some of what he said.
Can you guys understand Indonesian or Malay? Because of your proximity to the two countries?
@@jrexx2841 few words yeah
@@jrexx2841 the sabah is for the moro people since maranao and melanau has the same language so yeah
the most impressive part is that Jimmy can talk under water
Rakib Islam lmao best comment

I commend the simple life of these people. Never go to Manila to work. There is nothing fun there. I myself wants to return to province life.
I spearfish from hawaii, im ilocano. This is crazy how skilled he is with minimum equipment. The 1st guy talks so loud maybe because his ears are messed up from the infection
I clearly understand what they saying 😅 our tribe called samal tribe from zamboanga city, which is similar to badjao tribe, we had the same dialect in a differnt accent! ♥️♥️♥️ Also in a different way of living.
Interesting! I'm curious: does the samal tribe also live off the sea and do freedives like the Badjao?
Mattee Mattee yes' but you cannot identify us, not unless we say so. We are multilingual, in part of mindanado there is a different dialect, but samal tribe know how to speak and understand, the way other people using their own dialect. Just for example "chavacano and bisaya" therefor no one can identify us as a samal😊
So beautiful stories n so imotional...I pray that God will keep them safe😥
Praying does nothing god Is fake
Emotional? Safe from what? Who is attacking them?
I love Philippines
they’re some cool
Bajau people also can be found in Indonesia.
My second time watching this outstanding documentary! It is by far one of the best videos about the Bajau ethnic group and their mastery of freediving.
How did you choose the village & people to interview? Translating the Bajau interviews into English must have been quite a challenge.
Who was doing the footage? Awesome underwater freediving shots!
If you travel by cargo ship in the some part in central and southern Philippines there are many Badjao that leave nearby. As a passenger on that ship we throw coins to those kids nearby and they will go and dive to get those coins. They basically asking us to throw them in the water and they will get it and show it to us they got it.
The translation is not that accurate though
The person taking the footage is in the credits...

Your not a cute girl
You gotta appreciate how close to the surface this guy becomes negatively buoyant. Barely any fat there, just muscle. Used to do rescue exercises with a guy like that. He had more muscle mass but he would just sink unless he was packing air and it made him heavy to lug around in the water and pretty difficult to do the more complicated exercises with because he’d sit so low in the water, when stripped of his diving gear … then again, he’d get cold pretty quick, that was like the only thing I had on him xD. Great guy and a great diver …
anak (child), telinga (ear), teman (friend/pairs), panah (arrow/spear). i spotted a lot of common word with Bahasa (Indonesian language)
pre colonial we are the same people..
Talinga not telinga. In sama badjao language.. here in bohol
telu (three), pitu (seven), ratus (hundreds) are kinda mix of javanese and malay.
I found some of the words have some similiarity to my mother language (Bataknese/Indonesia)..
Im so curious by now.. i love to see more of this lovely culture Bajao
Their language i thinknis a combination on malay, bornean language and tausog.
Super interesting comment. I was also curious about the origin of the language spoken in the video. I heard the guy saying some Bisaya words eg: "gamit" (use), & "trabaho" (work). Tho the Bajau traditionally come from south Philippines, Borneo, Indonesia area.
When i went to Virgin Island (Bohol) the Bajau i met there were able to speak fluent Bisaya. It seems they have retained their traditional language, and have learned the local Bisaya language.
I hear more visaya
I believe bajaos were part of the lost tribes who travelled by boats going to their land of promise(Mindanao) for one and half years. Most of them landed in Butuan, hence 9 huge boats seen and is now in the butuan museum. But im sure during their voyage, they encountered storms and hurricanes and of course to consider boat maintenance as well.. so i suppose they had immediate landing in some areas like indonesia, malaysia, borneo etc... My father and his siblings were from bohol migrated by boat to southern leyte that is why our dialect is a Bol-anon accent.But my father and his siblings are very good fisherman too...they build their own boat, tools for fishing like "Pana" (spear gun) and gogles and improvised diving gear ...please watch The God Culture series in youtube and investigate their research about the lost tribes of Israel to see if pieces of puzzle found.
Indo and Philippines have the same line age. Even bahasa lanfuage have the same meaning to Philippine language.
I admired their fishing skill. 👍👌
thank you for documentaries of our country Philippines...
Bajao mindset sea as Family and Sea as brother
Who else is here from the Joe Rogan podcast
In Philippines they are not Badjao to us.. They are the Goodjao.. =D
😁😁😁😁😁😁
Christofer Baq nc one sir haha
Bwahahahaha
Nice one

I'm also from Philippines and im a fisherman too. #JRTV is here.
Can someone or the owner of this video get me Jimmy’s contact details so that I can send some diving equipment to him and his friends please
Don't forget to send them several of the new Sea-Dweller Rolex watches too preferably the solid gold models and insure them against loss and damage.
Vindication sarcastic moron bitter like gourd shut up kung wala ka masabi maganda sa kapwa !!!!

ryan no not train them in scuba diving or to give them scuba equipment just to give now spearguns, fins, weight belts, wetsuits, etc things like those. From Japan 🇯🇵
I live nearby from where they are from. My name is Jojie Sanchez. A licensed tour guide here in the philippines and also a sport spearfishing enthusiast.
More bajau people in Philippines with 170,000 Bajau and Malaysia bajau only have 40,000
Dexter Skyder we have almost 500k in Sabah and second largest etnic. Now most of them educated in Malaysia. Our Chief of Minister is Bajau.
@@mrbig5097 Sabah is orinally a part of the Phils.. Until now they pay lease to the Sultanate of Sulu.
Dexter Skyder in malaysia to many bajau man join navy.there are good.i heard they people frend with jaws.they grow up together.
@@mrbig5097 actually you are referring to sama tribe.because sama tribe is called bajau in Malaysia.. Sama is much more educated. Some of them held higher position in govt office like tun datu mustapha etc.. While bajau here in the philippines is called palau or sama dilaut( sea gypsy)in malaysia..
Many peenoise here
What a beautiful life,a perfect harmony with nature .
Watching this it is not hard to believe we have ancestors adapted to living in the water we don't know of.
When the shark sees them :" oh shit you again ! Take care brothers 🖐️"
Shark is traditional food for bajau
no brotherhood for the both of them, they are a food to each other.
there are no sharks in their region
Thanks Joe for another one 😊
May Almighty God provide lots of fishes Around the envirous while they fishing (Ameen)
He won't. He provided them already and they killed too many of them.

They are migrated originally from Mindanao due conflicts, bohol is the best place to be their new home.
I want to say that the Bajo etnic originated from the Sulawesi islands (wakatobi), namely in Indonesia. To find out more, please find the origin of the history, thank you
Aaahhh... Maybe thats why I heard some words are similar to bahasa (Indonesia language), even Javanese.
Agreed

I'd love to be able to breathe and see underwater like that
They are not breathing they're holding their breath and you can't see underwater?
For us badjao it just normal ability that we have.. It just a normal things.. You might impressed because you all an urban people

Someone needs to teach them how to build an artificial coral with steel wires. I've seen this method before and it works just fine whithin months.

That's like spreading corn and using a deer stand instead of actual hunting.
How amazing. Very impressive!
I never heard of the language spoken by the interviewed Badjao man (it is somewhat a mix of Cebuano and some unfamiliar language) though I am from the Philippines. Truly unique!
it’s not even Cebuano
Its like a combination of muslim dialect and B' laan tribe here in GENERAL SANTOS CITY but my colleague who are also a muslim and a B'laan doesn't even understand them.
