I'm sorry the guy asked you for a water, next time just say no, a good person will help for free...I'm filipino but I'm embarrased to tell you that some of my kababayan would see you/foreigners as money instead of a person......but anyways i hope you won't get disappointed because i assure you that there are more and more and more Filipinos who will treat you good and will respect you.
He was actually asking for soda, which is more expensive, and even lied to Jonathan that there's no water so he can get what he wants 🙈. Classical na makapal ang mukha.
That water will protect his security!!! That was normal especially when you are visiting other places! If you want trouble or kuripot ☝🖐don't give him a drink... Goodluck 💤🍌💩atsuuup 👍

As a filipino and from Davao. I feel embarrassed of what these drivers doing. Instead of helping him (the tourist) they're taking advantage of him. SO SAD to see!!!
@@darkboard5556 I know it's Samal coz this video was taken in Samal. I just said that I'm from Davao. I'm only commenting about what these drivers did to him (the tourist). I understand that they are just trying to earn money to survive and support their families but not this way. Instead of helping him they took advantage of him. We should welcome all the tourist with kindness.
Those motorbike rental guys are despicable. Those kinds of people do that to local tourists too. Best way to treat them is to avoid and ignore them immediately from the start. I'm sorry you had that toxic experience with them
those mc driver at the port are just shamless. local tourism officers should do something about them, bunch of scammers and manipulative people. sooner or later tourists won't go to samal island because of them. SHAME ON THEM!!!
Hi Jonathan! I'm from Davao City and I saw your Vlog in SAMAL Island just now. Please bear with those drivers in the port area as they are a bit silly and annoying sometimes. There's a lot of high end resorts in SAMAL for you to discover. I hope you have someone to accompany you so that you can resist some of the opportunistic people who wants to get something from you. Although they are not harmful but sometimes it's annoying to mingle with those kind of people. I salute your patience towards that kind of people. I hope you enjoy Davao and Mindanao. Stay positive 😉
Samal Island is home of some of luxurious beach resorts, Pearl Farm, Kembali Cost and Discovery Samal are some of those. But its natural beauty comes first for me. The white sand and crystal water really made fell in love with this island and thats the reason why I kept on coming back.
I'm glad to have you back vlogging regularly again... those guys and the rentals... id walked away, got a trike, like you said, and went to a hotel and rented from there... great video!!!!
I love Samal, first retired in Davao 2006 and spent a lot of time biking Samal and Talikud. Try a mountain bike, cheap and healthy. Loved seeing how Samal is now,,,thanks for the video.
Just visited Samal Island 3 weeks ago , outright it became my number 1 among beaches I visited from Luzon , Visayas and Mindanao.. Well , im lucky the tricycle driver i encountered is so polite and didnt overcharged me .
Which beaches did you visit in samal? The driver who ended up driving me in that video seemed like an honest man. It wasn’t that close my hotel, so I think he gave me the right price of 150 peso
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL Im the type of traveller who doesnt book in my accomodation , to check / inspect first is my rule , not only the hotel / resort itself but surroundings / neighboors . I end up in Pearl Farm , the top most recommended by friends , and Kuya driver is so polite , patient and considerate . I cant recall his name , i misplaced his contact number but he said he is from Cagayan de Oro and lives in Samal Island with his wife. Mabuhay Kuya tricycle driver ! If your reading this or anyone who knows him , kindly put his name here.
There's rude people everywhere not really a big deal when I've travelled in Europe and America its been the same. Had some good encounters had some bad ones thats life.
Lol I used to live nearby cagayan de oro city its really nothing to do in CDO unless you just want to go to malls or bars I believe there's SM MALL, LIMKETKAI, GAISANO, ORORAMA, AYALA MALL, etc...
East of CDO is Medina maybe 5 to 7 hours away from cdo, where Duka Bay resort is located its not so crowded beach. I don't recommend to drive motorcycle as when I was there too many accidents related to driving motorcycle
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL brother try to visit HAGUIMIT FALS very beautiful there.dont say the guard that you are getting swimming,just say only filming.
I love that you keep teaching me some Basayan and show it in subtitles! I always do better to see it spelled out LOL - Been living in north west Mindanao (Canadian) for nearly a year will you make your way up here on this tour?
Don't ever do business with those people who offered you expensive service (even after huggles) . TAKE CARE AND ENJOY THE REST OF THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS!😊
I've been to Mindanao a couple times but only in very specific areas in South Cotabato. I can recommend the Sarangani province, very close to Gensan, for a relaxed experience and nice beaches surrounded by mangrove forests. They charge you a tourist fee in the checkpoint, last time it was around 20 pesos, earlier this year. Also Lake Sebu is worth a visit, one day should be enough, there you can go into traditional boats and learn about the indigenous tribe T'Boli, who are the original inhabitants of that area
I hope the local authorities in Samal would crack down on people who overcharge and take advantage of tourists like those disgusting men on your video. What a shame. Hope you had fun though.
Dude - you likely have no idea who I am, or maybe you do. For whatever reason, you randomly popped into my brain this morning, so I decided to see if I could track you down. Imagine my joy at discovering that you are alive, well, and by all appearances, living a life of freedom and wonder! This makes my year! Cheers - Dave
New sub here! So happy you're visitng my old hometown. If you want to see some giant clams, try to take a tour of Taklobo, the giant clam sanctuary near the western shore of Samal. The Coral Garden is also a nice spot to snorkel. Hope you enjoy Samal and Davao!
hi Jonathan @travelescapes😊. we are your avid fan here in Pensacola Florida USA. we miss your video upload after samal.. we are waiting for your next video. hope you upload soon. take care care. hope you're doing okay. God bless
In Ilonggo dialect we call mango , paho. Awesome for bringing us there in Samal Island. I live in Orange County, So. California. But I was born in Iloilo City. Never been to Mindanao Island.
Where are you Jonathan i come to your chanel today but still the same Wow great your subscriber now is 133k Congratulations september 16 now take careGod bless
Hi Jonathan, thanks for this video of Samal Island. I am surprised with the Mango fruit that they served some that was not ripe. With the abundance of Mango there they probably have many ripe ones. Those big Mango looked very green in the baskets.
Hey Ben! I’ve seen the unripe mangos in a few countries in this region with the salt, meant to be crispy and a bit tart. That’s intentional.. then the ripe, sweet mangos are also eaten, maybe without the salt and sauces. Thank you for watching!!
@@travelescapesOFFICIALI think the reason why is too sour bcoz they out vinegar as well, the green mango should eat only with salt or shrimp paste and not with vinegar
I've never been to Samal Island always wanted to go - even when I was young. But my parents always say - you spend dollar in Samal island. Your experience summed up what my mum said -- and this was well over 25 years ago.. so it's always been an expensive place then.. and i'm from Kidapawan city - and the closest "big" city is Davao.. by the way since you're in the area - if you happen to travel around there -- look for Lake Sebu (few hours drive) is also some kind of experience, and Makilala (kinda like half tamed monkey sanctuary) --- by the way, these two are opposite ends from davao...
You have a good, positive, calming, positive demeanor. Im a fan... These locals trying to rent their bikes for that price hmmm unbelievable. And the one asking for water hmmm.
What's up Johnathan..another cool video! Hey..you're saying it's hot..what do you think the temperature and humidity was when you were filming this?? Roughly Love the vlogs 👊✌😎
Ive been to Samal Island twice. The best resort in the island is the Pearl Farm. Stayed for 2 nights there. In 2015 a Canadian tourist with 3 others were kidnapped in Samal Island by extremist group. Two were beheaded. Samal island had been unpopular because of this compared to Bohol, Camiguin, Cebu, Boracay and beaches in Luzon and the Visayas.
Hi I agreed with the previous comment Please don’t get sucked in to those requests like asking for water or food . Just say NO.. Even with the restaurant. You don’t have to say yes if your not comfortable . You are such a nice guy and please be cautious . You also don’t have to constantly give tips or you’re gonna run out of dough very quickly. Just a gentle advice . Always stay safe Jonathan
Hello Jonathan, thank you for making the videos. Quick question, do the motorbike rental places provide the driver insurance? Travel insurances do not specify this from what I have seen.
those despicable guys ruined the PH images. hope the local government sees this video and have them punish for their behavior. they're like bandits robbing in broad daylight.
Yo, I'm in Bohol and me and my girlfriend walked by you tonight at alona beach! Would love some recommendations, tips, or even to meet up if you would want. Your vlogs were a tremendous help in me planning this vacation. Maraming Salamat!
Iam also a foreign guy who is studying here ..and i felt the same experience here that you had in this video..they will try to scam us ..but not everyone..there is alot of good peoples around..ingat po 🤞
Jonathan, the red paste is krill or ground baby shrimp 🍤 cook with seasoning flavor that is serve for green or unripe carabao mango 🥭 , i love those for snack tons of Mango has tons of calorie
I agree , those guys were trying to take advantage of you and I can telll from your facial expressions that you were getting uncomfortable around them. Just walk away , coz some will try to pressure you . 800$ too much and I’m glad you didn’t put your backpack down - just be aware always . Nevertheless enjoy.
Sorry for some of the abusive ppl but dont generalize maybe they just really need money. I hope you still enjoy Samal! Waiting for more of your vids sir Jonathan! Keep going 👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
Hi Jonathan, I was going through your blogs about El Nido. There was a particular video about accommodation at Corong beach at El nido. Video title - I wish I knew before El nido,philippines. Can you please make that video available again. That video seems private and not available for everyone.
i was showing my fiance your vlog. she lives in DAVAO she straight away said I SEEN HIM!! she was sitting in a shop with her friends and she said you walked in and said to her ohh you took my chair lol she siad sorry and moved next to her fiends hahaha...then she wanted to watch you davao blog
Yes!! That was in Mang Inasal! Haha.. I hope she understood my humor when I said that. I think I said “you stole my chair! 😂” it was definitely meant to be in a joking manner, so hopefully she understood that (but she did steal my table 🤣) I was sure to say thank you as I was leaving though. Tell her I said hello!
and this the video I was filming the day I saw her! I cut out the Mang Inasal scene for this video, but I might include it in another video. She might be in background as I eat halo halo 😂 but I don’t think she is. I think the camera was pointing the other way ruclips.net/video/KlL-XtnS_ps/видео.htmlsi=7UYJuXiRuouzH4MA
Small mango is the sweetiest variety of all kind of mangoes here in this country also known as "Bisayang mangga". The carabao mango is that big size that you've seen but not kind of sweet.
It's called "travel escapes detour" youtube.com/@TravelEscapesDetour?si=Z3nPBwf3M86vgwBJ . I've only posted one video there so far, but I have footage from Malaysia, Japan, Turkey, etc. that I'd like to start posting there soon!
From the sour mangoes to the rude motorbike guys, then the sneaky guy asking for water, the room was so expensive and then having to pay to go to the beach, I would of boarded the first boat out of there and found somewhere else to stay.What a horrible experience for such a nice guy! Hope the rest of his trip was much better.
I am so sorry sir jonathan for that encounter I am from Samal Island if you will come back in our island you should be more wiser sir when taking a ride there sir coz some drivers there sir is very opportunistic I am very sorry for that... But hope you enjoy your stay here in Samal Island sir Godbless❤❤❤
Great video thank you very much, I have a question, did you have any skin infection or did you get any vaccinations like hepatitis ab shots or typhoid shots or any other vaccinations just want to know so I can get them before I come to the Philippines, be safe and God bless 😊
Hoy! Samal don't take advantage foreigner tourist is not good to our tourism place, the other tourist spots place like, Cebu! Buhol! Palawan motor bike is only 400 pesos rent for 24 hours. Subrang mahal naman ang renta ninyo dyan sa samal. alam na ng mga foreign tourist ang rentahan dito sa atin, lalo na ng mga bloggers matagal na sila naka tira sa bansa natin.
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL you should try Santol....now that is sour lol. And it's also good with bagoong (shrimp paste) The meat around the seed is sweet though...

Just say no to that person asking water. They are taking advantage. What a shame.
I would like to travel with you. Retired Georgia pharmacy owner. Your local approach is great ! Say the words. Can't leave before tomorrow.
Visit Iloilo City also and you get to see Guimaras Island is also just near IC too and also just a boat ride away too.
What is your other channel name?
It's called "travel escapes detour" youtube.com/@TravelEscapesDetour?si=Z3nPBwf3M86vgwBJ . I've only posted one video there so far, but I have footage from Malaysia, Japan, Turkey, etc. that I'd like to start posting there soon!
From the sour mangoes to the rude motorbike guys, then the sneaky guy asking for water, the room was so expensive and then having to pay to go to the beach, I would of boarded the first boat out of there and found somewhere else to stay.What a horrible experience for such a nice guy! Hope the rest of his trip was much better.
I am so sorry sir jonathan for that encounter I am from Samal Island if you will come back in our island you should be more wiser sir when taking a ride there sir coz some drivers there sir is very opportunistic I am very sorry for that... But hope you enjoy your stay here in Samal Island sir Godbless❤❤❤
Great video thank you very much, I have a question, did you have any skin infection or did you get any vaccinations like hepatitis ab shots or typhoid shots or any other vaccinations just want to know so I can get them before I come to the Philippines, be safe and God bless 😊

Hoy! Samal don't take advantage foreigner tourist is not good to our tourism place, the other tourist spots place like, Cebu! Buhol! Palawan motor bike is only 400 pesos rent for 24 hours. Subrang mahal naman ang renta ninyo dyan sa samal. alam na ng mga foreign tourist ang rentahan dito sa atin, lalo na ng mga bloggers matagal na sila naka tira sa bansa natin.
Oh i would try the manatee

I miss the sour mango with bagoong or sea salt....
I was not expecting you the sourness! 😂
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL you should try Santol....now that is sour lol. And it's also good with bagoong (shrimp paste) The meat around the seed is sweet though...
