I'm sorry to see something bad happen to you, but I'm happy that your thoughts and actions are correct. It's wise not to get involved in any side! Although you wasted time and money, you gained safety and can continue traveling! Your face looks like an angel, it has pros and cons, so be careful no matter what you do in the future! You may encounter unsatisfactory things during your travels, so you should be open-minded and seize the moment! I wish you all the best and happy travels! 👍🥰🙏 p. s. Be sure to keep the video that captured the driver's crazy behavior. It may be useful in the future. This is a way to protect yourself!
My gf and i hired a private taxi to boracay from iloilo. No joke she puked 11 times! The driver scared the hell out of me, he was going over 110kph on 2 lane country rds, passing around corners. Just nuts. Glad you made it safe finally
Use Grab in the cities and busses (Five Star or Victory Line) are your best bet. I was lucky to have a family friend drive us around with a rented car. Taxis and any random person offering you services are a HUGE no-no!
I speak Cebuano and hiligaynon, I can understand them. The two filipinas got angry with your driver because he cut them off near a bridge 'taytay' in their language. She's saying that he almost caused them an accident and their family was with them. Your driver didn't hit them actually and said that they were the ones not giving him way. But probably the fear of being in an accident with your family members with you got them really angry. Be safe but still enjoy your journey.
Bro this is the part of travel vloggers life. Nothing will happen bro take care. Dont worry. You did the right thing by removing yourself from the situation.
U got the words out of my mind there.... I wud simply add n say to Him, "Ikaw Lang eh di mo tinawagan at sana sabay tayo nagROAD TRIP.... of all the places bat kace jan pa sa Dumaguete ka napadpad beh...Kung ako ang kasama mo I'd prolly take u to gud places na di ka mapapahamak like Baguio, Tagaytay, Antipolo etc etc etc"
Zane, I'm the guy who said hi to you in Dumaguete; the guy who stopped his motorcycle and shook your hand as you were just sitting on the sidewalk, waiting for someone. What an unfortunate event you went through. But, anyways, I hope you enjoyed Dumaguete. It's actually where many expats choose to live. It's been voted as one of the Retirement Havens of the World by Forbes Magazine. But, yeah: what a FRIGGIN' day!!!
Hello, I planned to fly from iloilo to lapu lapu, rent a scooter and drive to Southern cebu, take ferry with the scooter to dumaguete and siquijor, then ferry back to cebu, and drive the scooter back to lapu lapu. What do you think ?
@@zanetravel Your driver hit them somewhere ,.and just leave them as nothing.. that's why they chase him and we're so angry..

I got into a similar situation in Indonesia. Me, my wife and son were driving with a Driver from Grab, and he just turned right to turn around in the road, and a motorcycle hit the car on the right side and flew at least 5 meters. He started fighting with the driver, and at least 10 other people who saw it started pushing the car. I got super scared. Luckily, my wife's friend, who works close by, saw it, shouted that it was a kid in the car, and let the driver leave us at the hotel. My son slept through it all in the car and didn't notice a thing.
Shit happens anywhere. Thankfully you are okay. Most provincial buses wont stop for you if you are near their final stop. They cannot force you to be involve, testimonies are valid only if it is given voluntarily. just to be sure, have your country's embassy number on speed dial.
The Ceres Bus has certain points in the cities where it officially stops. Because otherwise, you would never arrive you destination, if you just stop everywhere someone is waving hands. Only when your on the bus, you can ask the driver if he can let you at a certain point. Sorry but what do you expect? There is only one lane per direction! Does your Greyhound busses just stop somewhere along the roads? I feel sorry for you because of the accident of course. I only understood after 20 minutes what was going on though. btw, nice, 1000 Pesos. I think he would have brought you to Cebu for that money :D at least somebody got very happy this day :D Just use the Ceres bus next time, from Bacolod to Dumaguete. Nobody dares to cross the road in front of them. Even the really good ones with proper seats and aircon are just 500Peso for the whole route
There are big beautiful air conditioned Ceres bus going to Dumaguete non-stop. Its not crammed and quite comfortable. It is safe too. But good to know you are okay. Take care always buddy and thanks for visiting my hometown Bacolod city!
Life is a journey of ups and downs , full of good and bad doesn’t matter what country your in ….the more you do in life the more you will experience this 😊 Enjoy your journey…..
Hi Zane! My unsolicited advice for you is to take much bigger vehicles, if you want to travel long distance in the province, like bus than trikes or even taxi, more safer. Take care and God bless!
Hello, I planned to fly from iloilo to lapu lapu, rent a scooter and drive to Southern cebu, take ferry with the scooter to dumaguete and siquijor, then ferry back to cebu, and drive the scooter back to lapu lapu. What do you think ?
Zane, my option is still public transportation if I'm new to the place and I'm just alone. If ever I'll use private transportation, it's mostly with family members and relatives. So careful man.
I’m sorry for what happened Zane. That must’ve been so scary. to experience that. Thank God you’re fine and everyone is fine. They weren’t talking in Tagalog so I couldn’t understand them. Taxi drivers are notorious for crazy driving just like most drivers here. Idk if they ignore the road rules or just don’t know. Anyways hope you’re enjoying your time in Dramaguette. Yup those expats are seniors. Hope you meet them…most are vloggers also. Get used to Filipino time and just chillax 😂
I’ve stayed in that exact same Airbnb and the same exact room! Rooms are expensive in Duma, because the demand is high and there isn’t many rooms available so they can make the prices high. The woman that owns the place is really sweet, she also owns the little clothing store next door. It’s not that bad, I just took a bird bath… with room temp water it’s not that bad. There is a nice bread store down below…
You dodged a bullet ...I'm a subscriber, lived in Thailand for 16 yrs. They do anything to "SAVE FACE" and never take responsibilty. You learned sumthing but I understand as I've been there too.... it's NOT comfortable cause police will usually blame foreigners. File this away as an experience and stay safe
You’re a nice guy Zane…please be careful of you’re generosity. Seeing your video and noticing how kind you are, I hope you don’t fall prey to others that may want to take advantage of you, though you did stood your ground at first on that taxi saga, in the end your big hear took over…stay safe, fair winds and following seas kind traveler…
If you went with any other option you wouldn’t have this story to remember about how you got to Dramagete for 1,000 pesos! You should definitely pay for the service provided… expecting a safe and sane trip is an unreasonable expectation… it’s the Philippines 🇵🇭
Great vid, I m planning a trip to iloilo, cebu, dumaguete, and siquijor, which is similar to your trip. But I decided to fly to cebu and rent a scooter and drive to Southern cebu and take the ferry to dumaguete and siquijor. What do you think ?
This is one abusive driver obviously. I think one good option is to report them to the police together with the video footage to teach them good lesson and also to help his victims
Sorry you’ve had to experience such in my home country🙏God was with you still and hopefully that driver learned his lesson well! Goodluck and stay safe for the rest of your travels❤
Glad you made it safely - it'll be a good story later. Something like that happened to me in the Philippines about 13 years ago when I hired a private driver from Manila to Angeles City. Getting through Metro Manila was nuts and then just before we got on the Luzon Expressway the guy stopped by the toll plaza and crossed himself in the Catholic manner. I asked him what he was doing and he said he was praying for a safe drive. I joined in. In the Philippines, it's never just a straightforward drive somewhere. It's an ADVENTURE, haha!
The driver did not deserve any payment in my opinion. I hope he learned a lesson there and will not drive like a crazed maniac. He should be very very grateful he did not take a life and received half the payment for gas to get him back. Stay safe Zane and hope the rest of stay will be smooth and fun!
Crazy Taxi turned Trike Patrol. Wild day indeed i hope everything gets better after this hurdle. Normally in the Philippines, the passenger isn't involved in anything traffic related incidents.
From the sound of the situation, yes the driver drove crazy, it is expected when you’re in the Philippines, those women being from Canada should have stayed away from road rage. I don’t condemn the driver to drive crazy but it’s already instilled in his brain from living in the Philippines that’s normal to him. Those women who got involved in the road rage, did they really think they won’t get run over?! They sound arrogant and full of themselves being from “Canada” You have to realize the Filipinos in the Western World think differently from Filipinos who actually resides in the Philippines. Anyway glad no one died! The Taxi driver is less privileged compared to the women from Canada. Dont feel cheated for paying him. I hope he does learn his lesson, but I doubt it. Stay safe!!
Life and death is not determined by luck. Luck didn't place the sun in the sky. Luck doesn't keep the waves in place. Luck doesn't give us four seasons. There is a time be born and a time to die. In fact, He who placed the sun, holds the waves back and set the seasons says "I knew you when you were in your mother's womb and formed your muscles and have named you." "I have made the stars and each have a name. I hold each breath that you breath of the air I have made for you..." He is very specific in His love for you, Zane. Life and death have nothing to do with luck. Thank Him that you are still alive. He'll appreciate it and you might even engage in a conversation with Him, who loves you. Stay blessed, Zane. Mark, in Dallas.
Of course you'll have to brake no matter who is not giving way. Don't let your ego get you and just brake period from a safe distance. Try to overtake only if the coast is clear. Don't race if you don't have the skill and patience.
My heart would have said to pay him nothing. The fact that he lied and twisted the story! If he gets some compensation after reckless driving and twisting the facts… this is bound to happen again.
@ 22:00 you are walking down a street toward the beach. Where is your backpack? Did you leave the first AB&B and rent another and left your backpack there? I'm confused, which is not unusual. 🤣🤣 I was watching your First Day in Dumaguete video which you kept referencing THIS video, so I paused your First Day video... to get this video watched. Yep, messy situation. Ok. I'm heading back to your First Day in Dumaguete video. Mark in Dallas. 👍
As you've probably discovered by now, every journey on the road in the Philippines is perilous, full of near misses and chaos. It's just part of the culture there.
Zane i watch your channel all the way from zürich Switzerland.thank god you are alright.Zane pls dont let the driver situation ruin your time in the philippines pls dont.by the way i am from Manila philippines.
Take care stay safe Sir your a very good vlogger and Ive always been watching your channel....try to take the bus next thankyou and I support your channel..
Car and people traffic are downright scary, dangerous, and awfully terrible anywhere you go in the Philippines. There’s no escaping! Makes me wonder if this “business associate” is sincerely going to give the full price
That’s horrible 😢 tsk tsk be thankful it’s not nighttime. Pls. don’t give them your passport. And beware of modus most of them charge too much even it’s not your fault. Better to take videos while riding different public or private transportation to show more detailed evidences. Take care always and have a blessed trip
Those two Filipino women from Canada were also speeding… that’s called dangerous driving! I don’t know where they got their driver licences from but I don’t think they would dare to drive like that in Canada…
You didnt do anything wrong so likely you wont get involved since you are just a passenger. Likely he just wants you to be a witness from the accident so he has a fighting chance thats why he wanted you to come along the police station but good choice for not coming along.
Either way be safe Zane, the local cities you are planning to go in the provinces arent really a touristy area even for a capital city so you are treading unknown waters
Sorry for what happened and I'm glad no one perished. I hear Ilongo dialect in the argument, but I don't understand. It's my mom's dialect and she's from Capiz. I can only speak Tagalog. Remember, you are not the captain of the ship. Your driver is responsible for your safety.
Glad Your okay Zane❤. Maybe this can be a great story for your travel diaries when you publish them in the future ❤ Hey it’s been very successful for Chris and Morgan❤
God sent guardian angels to those women run off the road & to you. They must’ve prayed in that moment …Otherwise yes it could’ve been worse. Thank God for His protection. Thank you Jesus 🙏🏻. I always ask the hotel staff/ concierge which is best / safe transportation. Or ask locals. Be safe and hope all runs smoothly. From Filipina in California USA… new subscriber
In Cambodia and Vietnam it's far safer to take a private car. The busses and minivan drivers are usually about 16yo and positively suicidal. Last time from siem reap to phnom penh the minibus driver was so terrifying even the Russians were complaining and Russians are lunatics.
I think this driver is at fault, dangerous, and should lose his job and/or his license for causing that almost deadly accident. But you should still pay him at least the 5,000 for the majority of the trip. Because you saw his driving and chose to stay with him. The accident is on him, totally. Voluntarily staying with him for 70-80% of a 7,000peso ride after noticing him drive dangerously? Sorry, but that's on you. Hope your future travels are better. Take care.
Smart not to get involved. Some countries will blame YOU for the accident because YOU hired the taxi. Smart not to get involved but never ever hire a taxi for long distance trips in a foreign country
I can relate to your experience, Filipinos can be unpredictable sometimes and commutes and travels. But your vlog is great and i love watching your experience the Philippines.
Its no big deal but worth noting that its 6 hours by bus. They are air conditioned, never crammed, enough stops including an extended one for lunch. Movies playing and plenty comfortable. I found the bus to be prefable to car. I lived in Bacolod 3 years....
You should have stayed in Bacolod. There's nothing you can see in Dumaguete not unless if you go to mountain area. But if your destination is going to siquijor then you should really stay in dumaguete. If I only knew you were here we should meet up and give u some tips. Every island here in PH has a different culture. Take care brother..
@@eli.capinbxu there a lot to explore bacolod.. The Upper east. Megaworld, NGC, San Sebastian cathedral. The art District, the ruin,magikland,the splash park, campuestohan... The baywalk, bacolod public plaza. The bacolod museum. And many more.. In dumaguete only pantawan. And siliman. And Nothing much to see.. Boring place.. There is no Sm, Ayala Mall. Gaisano, vistamall, etc.. Only robinsons.. Stagnant developments..
It's all part of traveling and adventure. I listened to the driver and he was VERY apologetic. He knew he made a wrong decision and he knows that he's guilty. Those women were right and hysterical to the point of being violent. Zane, no need to be sentimental or apologetic. That's ALL part of experience. Take it or stop traveling. Good luck and enjoy the rest of your island adventure. Just for the record, I travel a lot. Last year i went to five countries here in Europe. This year, I traveled to another five countries. I am lame and have to ask people to help me board a train or taxi driver had to be told not to rush, etc.
I'm sorry to see something bad happen to you, but I'm happy that your thoughts and actions are correct. It's wise not to get involved in any side!
Although you wasted time and money, you gained safety and can continue traveling!
Your face looks like an angel, it has pros and cons, so be careful no matter what you do in the future!
You may encounter unsatisfactory things during your travels, so you should be open-minded and seize the moment!
I wish you all the best and happy travels! 👍🥰🙏
p. s. Be sure to keep the video that captured the driver's crazy behavior. It may be useful in the future. This is a way to protect yourself!

Bus is safer . Next time don't hire taxis or private cars for long travel because it's way expensive and fraught with danger
yea, private cars are also not registered with the regulatory agency and you cant sue them when something happens to you.
How about rent a scooter and take the ferry?
Use Grab in the cities and busses (Five Star or Victory Line) are your best bet. I was lucky to have a family friend drive us around with a rented car. Taxis and any random person offering you services are a HUGE no-no!

no worries. hes responsible for his driving habits.at any point 1000% your not involve in the accident...proceed and enjoy ur journey.....

Wash off the negative energy, enjoy life, and travel. I hope this bad experience turn into something nice soon. Take care Zane
Those two Filipino women from Canada were also speeding… that’s called dangerous driving! I don’t know where they got their driver licences from but I don’t think they would dare to drive like that in Canada…
You didnt do anything wrong so likely you wont get involved since you are just a passenger. Likely he just wants you to be a witness from the accident so he has a fighting chance thats why he wanted you to come along the police station but good choice for not coming along.
Either way be safe Zane, the local cities you are planning to go in the provinces arent really a touristy area even for a capital city so you are treading unknown waters
I think you should have given him some money. He did drive you close to Dumaguete for many many hours.
Rome to Rio website says a taxi from Bacolod to Dumaguete should be $55-$75.
Fries and rice are good too ;) I’m glad you made it safely .
u def. dodged a bullet there .....
welcome to dramaguete! 🤣
There are 8 hour flights with one stop for $3,500 to $5,000 pesos from Bacolod to Dumagete
Sorry for what happened and I'm glad no one perished. I hear Ilongo dialect in the argument, but I don't understand. It's my mom's dialect and she's from Capiz. I can only speak Tagalog. Remember, you are not the captain of the ship. Your driver is responsible for your safety.
bro couldnt believe you said 1,000 and asked a second time
rice? rice.. rice? rice.. rice? 1 rice.... rice?
Don’t be upset your safe and make good content . Be happy life goes on .
My advice Zane. Just leave it as is. They can settle it themselves. Nothing was hurt. There are more worst than that. Keep going.
Glad Your okay Zane❤. Maybe this can be a great story for your travel diaries when you publish them in the future ❤ Hey it’s been very successful for Chris and Morgan❤
if you help the guy, even though he did something wrong, the hope is that it makes him help someone.
As a expat living in Bacong, just south of Dumaguete. If you have AC and internet hot water is not a big deal. I have it in my house and never use it.
Are you still in Dumaguete? Try going to Wuthering Heights so you can relax 😊. Take care
God sent guardian angels to those women run off the road & to you. They must’ve prayed in that moment …Otherwise yes it could’ve been worse. Thank God for His protection. Thank you Jesus 🙏🏻.
I always ask the hotel staff/ concierge which is best / safe transportation. Or ask locals. Be safe and hope all runs smoothly. From Filipina in California USA… new subscriber
In Cambodia and Vietnam it's far safer to take a private car. The busses and minivan drivers are usually about 16yo and positively suicidal. Last time from siem reap to phnom penh the minibus driver was so terrifying even the Russians were complaining and Russians are lunatics.
have you traveled much in asia? lol it seems fairly par for the course actually. glad no one was hurt. cheers
I think this driver is at fault, dangerous, and should lose his job and/or his license for causing that almost deadly accident.
But you should still pay him at least the 5,000 for the majority of the trip. Because you saw his driving and chose to stay with him. The accident is on him, totally. Voluntarily staying with him for 70-80% of a 7,000peso ride after noticing him drive dangerously? Sorry, but that's on you.
Hope your future travels are better. Take care.
Smart not to get involved. Some countries will blame YOU for the accident because YOU hired the taxi. Smart not to get involved but never ever hire a taxi for long distance trips in a foreign country
31:32 Philippine time is a real thing 😂
I've been watching your videos for a while now and can't believe the unlucky situations you can get in 😢
I can relate to your experience, Filipinos can be unpredictable sometimes and commutes and travels. But your vlog is great and i love watching your experience the Philippines.
Dude your face @11:34 🥲 I could feel the awkward energy from that incident 😫
JESUS is LORD over the Philippines. Amen! GOD Bless Mr. Zane and thank you!!!
Its no big deal but worth noting that its 6 hours by bus. They are air conditioned, never crammed, enough stops including an extended one for lunch. Movies playing and plenty comfortable. I found the bus to be prefable to car. I lived in Bacolod 3 years....
Oh no, that's rough! Did the driver ran over other people and was he recklessly overspeeding?
See there are some notorious part where women intentionally fall themselves infront of car and blame the driver to extort money
@@hustlersgame8759that happens a lot in the USA but Philippines too?
@@gissneric in some bad parts of the city, but it's mostly rare. I have only heard but never seen.
@@hustlersgame8759 11:38 We will never know for sure, but based on Zane's experience he did said the driver f'cked up.
You should have stayed in Bacolod. There's nothing you can see in Dumaguete not unless if you go to mountain area. But if your destination is going to siquijor then you should really stay in dumaguete.
If I only knew you were here we should meet up and give u some tips. Every island here in PH has a different culture. Take care brother..
The tourist attraction in Bacolod is only the Masskara festival other than that, nothing much to see.
@@eli.capinbxu there a lot to explore bacolod.. The Upper east. Megaworld, NGC, San Sebastian cathedral. The art District, the ruin,magikland,the splash park, campuestohan... The baywalk, bacolod public plaza. The bacolod museum. And many more.. In dumaguete only pantawan. And siliman. And Nothing much to see.. Boring place.. There is no Sm, Ayala Mall. Gaisano, vistamall, etc.. Only robinsons.. Stagnant developments..
You are such a nice guy. They financially took advantage of you. If you had paid 200 pesos for the tric driver, that would have been plenty.
Welcome to the Philippines. The way they drive there is crazy! No real rules there!
It's all part of traveling and adventure. I listened to the driver and he was VERY apologetic. He knew he made a wrong decision and he knows that he's guilty. Those women were right and hysterical to the point of being violent. Zane, no need to be sentimental or apologetic. That's ALL part of experience. Take it or stop traveling. Good luck and enjoy the rest of your island adventure. Just for the record, I travel a lot. Last year i went to five countries here in Europe. This year, I traveled to another five countries. I am lame and have to ask people to help me board a train or taxi driver had to be told not to rush, etc.
Bacolod port to Capitol Lagoon ₱150
Few Kilometres to Dumaguete: ₱1,000.
Bacolod trike fare now justified
