Hi Jonathan, you know a lot of Bisaya words already which is a good thing. I love all your vlogs. I'm always looking forward to watching them. Ayo-ayo, amping...
im pleased to see the hills have largely recovered from the damage from the earthquake a few years back... i was fortunate to have visited just a few months before the earthquake and had the opportunity to see them in their full glory, as well as a chance to tour one of the oldest spanish churches in the philippines that sadly did not survive the earthquake :( if you have the time to go back, i do recommend making the hike to one of the observation areas at the top of one of the hills... its tough to get a sense of scale from the drone footage, but trust me, by the time youve climbed the staircase to the top youll appreciate just how HUGE those hills are... its a 'leg day' activity for sure :)
Sooner than later the squatters will destroy the chocolate 🍫 hills the department of tourism they already reported to the DANR but no response was received.
For a much more scenic drive in Bohol, drive south then east towards Jagna, Duero, Guindulman and then Anda. Coastal roads with mountainous backdrop. Then if you want to see treeless rolling hills and climb them, continue the drive to Ubay town. The treeless rolling hills are to your right side between Alicia and Ubay. Along the way you will see waves of rice fields on both sides of the road (you'lll start seeing them in the town of Candijay).
If you're still here in Bohol, I'm inviting you to go to a fiesta just near Tagbilaran City this 8th of December. Glad you stayed this long in Bohol enjoying.
HI Jonathan!! AWESOME VIDEO! MY FIlippina wife and I are visiting Bohol from 14 to 18 AUGUST... I CANT WAIT!If you are still in Bohil it would be great to meet up .HAVE A GREAT DAY . GREETINGS FROM CHINA.
Keep up the great work on your channel, very entertaining videos. You have the best type of personality for the type of content you are sharing. I saw in one of your earlier episodes that you are trying to decide what area in the PI to visit next and become your home base to work from. If you choose the Dumaguete area, let me know and maybe my wife and I could meet with you and share a meal. The second best decision I have ever made in my life after getting married to my wife has been retirement in the Philippines.
Thanks for watching! I don’t have plans as of now to visit Dumaguete soon, but it could be a possible destination! And this is a great spot to retire! I’ve read many comments of others wanting to do the same!
Hi Jonathan, you got some nice video and pictures of the Tarsiers. Hope you can get back and see the Chocolate hills. Nice that you were able to get some drone footage of the Chocolate Hills from the road. The scene at the end of your video in the water and the beautiful trees and sunshine in Loboc was awesome.
whoa you can communicate now in bisaya. I have a feeling that you will probably live in Cebu as your home base 🎉 If I ever see you here when you come back in the States, I am going to talk to you in bisaya😂
Bohol.. one of the best places in PH but its the hospitality of the locals that really made the place awesome.. Hope you can visit other places in Luzon region particulary Southern Luzon (Batangas, Laguna, Cavite & Quezon Provinces). Enjoy the adventures Jonathan in our beloved country.. Power on!!!
Thanks for sharing jonathan the tarsiers are do very cute i thought they are big hahaha they are so quite toofont be afraid viewrs accompany you in your blog eberyday.take care always.
OMG! They sure are - I’ll need to bring a magnifying glass so that I can see these precious creatures up close❣️🤣 Thanks for sharing - take care & safe travels! Mabuhay❣️🇵🇭🇺🇸❣️
“The journey is the adventure” I love that statement.I’ve been trying to plan my short vacation in the Philippines for the next couple of months from now but I can’t come up with a good plan at all coz I know how the trips can be unpredictable! I’ll just take the time to do my adventure when I get there and surprise myself instead😅
Great videos from the PHI! Just discovered your channel. Since you’re a lot using the scooter , may I ask how difficult is it to ride in PHI? I have a driving license and think I could easily do it. Could you ask in the shop to give you a little intro or would people look weird at you? 😂
If people want to go there don't desensitize yourself to.the actual experience of Bohol by watching vlogs and go there and enjoy it as.a.truly.new.experience
I contacted the department of tourism . I told them the numbers of squatters down below ⬇️ chocolate 🍫 hills is keep increasing my response was from Bohol tourism they said they already reported to DANR but no response and no action.
Hey man, amazing videos. One question: I‘ll be in the Philippines in two weeks. first we plan to stay around 8-10 days in Cebu region and then head to Palawan. Would you recommend Bohol as the homebase instead of traveling around? From your videos it seems to be a great location to stay for trips. Thanks for your reply.
hey Cristian! In general I would travel around instead of just staying in Bohol if you have limited time. I've stayed here so long because I'm not in a rush; I live in the Philippines now. Bohol is a great hub since it's a 2 hour ferry ride to Cebu city, roughly 2 hour ferry ride to Siquijor, maybe 3 hours to Camiguin, and it has an airport, but it has gotten more crowded lately on Alona Beach just so you know. It depends on how much time you have and if you don't mind living out of a bag. I wouldn't skip Palawan... Siargao is great too. Siargao is for surfing while Bohol is for diving and free diving. Hope this helps! Enjoy your trip!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL Thanks man. Yes, we will continue to Palawan after Cebu. Currently the plan is Bohol, Moalboal, Coron to El Nido to Puerto Princesa in 3 weeks. I‘ve been to Palawan 4 years ago and did the Tao Experience from El Nido to Coron. Best trip I‘ve ever done. Thanks for your reply and keep pushing your videos👍
@@cristianfeani5851 no problem! what is this Tao experience? I'd like to look into it. I'd probably do it in reverse if possible, from Coron to El Nido
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL One last question. How is the Covid situation? Do you still need full vaccination to take planes and ferrys? I just saw that you need to test to enter the country if you are not fully vaccinated. Thanks for your reply.
Hmm.. I don’t have kids, so I’m not sure. A lot of people bring their kids to the top floors of the malls where they have game rooms. Other than that I’m not sure, sorry I couldn’t be more helpful!
Yep. Driving fast isn't worth risking the lives of others. These people who fly through towns as fast as possible are doing just that, risking the lives of others. There are kids and animals that run out in the street and can easily be hit. In these videos I'm driving even more slowly because I'm filming, but in general I do drive slowly.
Two things you need to know about Tarsiers: 🐒 1) They're the second smallest primate in the world. 2) They're highly trained in the ways of the Force and are of the order Jedi Grand Masters. So don't mess with them! 😂😂😂
I might make a video about that actually! But the short answer, I'm loving my time here and the people I've met! Very centrally located, near Siquijor, Cebu, Camiguin, etc. There's great diving, beaches, restaurants, etc. if you want the beach... then there's the other side of Bohol like you see in this video! and a few more reasons I could expand on in the video!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL Thank you for the reply, Yes, Bohol is more cheaper to travel and the best island to visit because in just very short of time or just in a day, more places you can explore. Geographically, Bohol has 22 major river basins and 59 minor river basins, and on that sites alone, 1 week is not enough. Anyways, you have very informative vlogs, Congratulations!, Keep the video posted! 👏
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL you are lucky that its food. When my wife went to Bali last 2018, monkeys robbed her bag of dry clothes while she was swimming.
Oh no..the entrance to the Tarsier park was not paved well. What is Bohol's local government doing? They should make the entrance more enticing and welcoming, not too plain and actually ugly....
@@eli.capinbxu most moronic suggestion, government is making money out of tourism, simple things as sidewalk and road pavement for safety and beautification are absolute must for a tourist area. No wonder international and local tourists are going to Thailand. Talo talaga ang Pinas ng Thailand.
that chocolate hills is not as beautiful like before... because of mother nature vs human and climate change.. they called it chocolate hills cause its turn chocolate color when its summer...
bohol is so underrated, so many beautiful areas and hidden gems!!!
Very true!!
Any other tips on where to stay in Bohol?
@@cristianfeani5851 areas or hotels?
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL both😊

Thank you for watching! I’m sure it was quite different in 2014!
Talking bisaya getting better
I want to learn it!
Try to visit CAN UMANTAD FALLS at Candijay, the tallest falls in bohol.
Oh wow, they are so cutieeees! its a shame am a Filipino but haven't seen a tarsier.
What lovely, tiny little creatures! I'm looking forward to seeing them soon! Thanks for showing the way.
Oh yes Bohol is beautiful ❤ Enjoy your trip
It is!
Drive safe and take care... Beautiful video 😍😍

Listening to Come on Eileen by Dexy's Midnight Runners while riding. Nice

I so love the hills! 🥰
Yeahhhh
Im going there early next year 😀feeling exited here 😊
I love Bohol! So much to do! You’ll love it!
Unggoy is also called amô in bisaya.
Missing home! Thank you so much for showing BOHOL to the world😍
It's underrated really.
It is definitely underrated! Thank you for watching!
Awe so cute the tarsiers!!
they are!
great bohol trip and tarsier experience!🐒
it was!!
Im back on top jonathan. Yahoo!!!! 🎉🎉🎉
👏👏!!
I love your vlogs. The last time I saw a Tarsier was when I was 8. And I remember one snarling at me. It was still adorable tho
Woah, snarling?! Maybe you woke it up haha
Thank you! 😂 I’m not surprised that they snarled. They were probably woken up 😬
Could you do a kind of travel guide, breaking down avg cost per day on low n high budget etc, would love that
Try to visit also calaguas island, calalanay island, carol island and more here in camarines norte province, BICOL,.
I visited Bohol several times. Beautiful place.

It's better the chocolate hills be seen during summer or during sunny so the hills are brown like chocolate kisses.
That’s what I heard! I’ll need to go back
More video of them would be nice
More videos of who?

I've been there in man made forest just 6 months ago, sure it's spooky especially around dusk when I came.
It is!!
My FAVORITE BABY YODA 😅😂 THANKS FOR SHARING THIS VIDEOS MR J ✌️👍👍👍👌🙌
Great videos from the PHI! Just discovered your channel.

Just saw in the news the string of tornadoes that hit Alabama and left a lot of destruction. Hope your family there weren't affected and are safe. 🙏

I already go on bohol
In 14 years, only time I've been in fog was in the manmade forest.
I was wondering how many tarsiers in that enclave…?..
Good question! I’m not sure. There wasn’t a tour with information
I would like go to Bohol for one day trip and return back to Cebu. Any suggestion for initienarary ?
