  • IS HARVESTING ABACA THE HARDEST JOB IN THE PHILIPPINES?
    Catanduanes is the largest producer of abaca in the world; this island province is the source of a third of this naturally-grown fiber, used for clothing, teabags, shipping ropes amongst other things.
    Today, I'm exploring the Happy Island from Puraran Beach to the north in Pandan. Let's see what happens along the way!

    I'm not so sure how happy that spider was, but I don't think you should stick around to find out. Maybe one day you can make it to Hawaii and see Happy Face spiders. They're really quite small and are found in very remote areas on O'ahu that I know of. I don't remember where else in the islands they live, but I'm certain they are on some of the other islands as well.

Interesting to see local manufacturing of surf boards. As always, your narration is so informative. There's never a dull moment in your vlogs. You sustain our attention and excitement as we watch your videos. More power to you and looking forward to more adventures. 21:00

    Abaca is the hardest fiber in the world. It is used in making Manila rope and paper money. Catanduanes is also used as the fastest way if you want to go to Caramoan instead of driving all the way from Naga.

    Honestly didn't know much about Abaca and didn't even know that we're the largest supplier of Abaca worldwide. Thanks for this informative vlog. It seems though that it's the middlemen who are profiting the most from it and not the locals who are harvesting/producing it. 🙁

    I didn’t know what the abaca plant looks like until this amazing vlog, KD. I feel like the cost should be >65 pesos per kg since it is so difficult and laborious to harvest/process. They certainly deserve more than what they get paid for, and hopefully the government provides some funding to support them especially during the typhoon season. L
    The province looks so majestic with its beautiful coastline, lush forests/hills, and verdant green pastures.
    Thank you for taking us along with you to remote places. Truly appreciate your hard work to educate us about the Philippines and the hard-working Filipinos.
    Take care always, be safe, and God bless. 🥰❤️

    The government should do something for this abaca , they must provide machines for easy and fast manufacturing abaca and could produce more products for exports. Then help the abaca farmers for their benefits and so, they will enjoy and inspire working in abaca farm.
