Really enjoying this. Absolutely love the Philippines. Was meant to return in June, but due to health reasons, cannot. Loved the little village. We stayed in a village in Bohol. Wooden / bamboo house, water from a well, no foreigners. Mindanao....spent time there, again, in a village not far from Pagadian. I never felt threatened, people were amazing and friendly.
Love the videos Ben only been watching for a few weeks now and it’s honestly opened my eyes to all these amazing countries would love to travel the world
Ben, that was one of your best vlogs: we went from the crowing-roosters and dog-manure streets at the beginning to more and more exciting scenery. Well done.
@@amaliahightower yes it's only one island. There are many all over Philippines, some are working, some are some got married with philipino and some settled or tourist. It's great to see them here and the local phillipinos helping them
LMAO @ Ben saying that the rain is starting to piss him off, then cut to the next scene of Ben and Kat swimming in a torrential downpour 😆😆😆 Sometimes swimming in the rain is fun....
Ben, I arrived here in the Philippines two weeks ago from San Diego California and am staying at a resort in Metro Manila, but now my girlfriend and I are visiting her family for a week on the island of Pilar in the Comotes Islands off of Leyte. You talk about no other foreigners, I'm the only foreigner on the island! One hotel and only six rooms and no WiFi, I'm using a Globe Simcard. The beaches though are amazing, blue and green water and white sand. Look up Cawit resort in Pilar.
Hey Ben another amazing video, even with the rain downpours I would still rather be there when it’s raining than the uk when it’s warm 😀, looking forward to more adventures in the Philippines! Keep up the great work and safe travels
@@SilverfoxJB we went to the Canary Islands at the school holidays a couple weeks back and my missus was browsing property for sale in the windows I pretended to not realise what she was doing but I hope she’s finally coming round to my idea of getting away full time 😀
If Harald Balder wound up in Bebeladan, it would've took him all of 10 minutes & he would've been having breakfast in a random families home, like he's known them all his life😄
Great video Ben. You forgot to tell us the name of the beach hut at the end? My girlfriend is filipino , and been having chemo ,and i would really like to take her somewhere on Palawan to recuperate.
There are a lot of Spanish words that we've adopted in our local language, a lot of times we don't even realize it's Spanish coz we already forgot to speak Spanish when Hollywood came. That's why when Kat tried to speak Spanish to the lady, she didn't understand it. We didn't adopt the Spanish word yes "si" in ourlanguage, "si" means something completely different in the local language. The US established the school system here so English is widely spoken. That's what 333 years in the seminary (Spanish rule) and 50 years in Hollywood gets you. 😄
Hope you are enjoying the crazy weather.. what a nice zipline ride and nice hotel you are staying with a great ocean view. Good luck to both of you. Enjoy great beaches and our hospitaly.
Love to do that stuff you are doing, but for now i am stuck with 3 small kids so that is not happening. Love this video and to see somebody who is able to travel like you do. Travel more with that girl! Watching you from Sweden
Good video mate and it’s nice to see Kat at the beginning of your trip . Philippines is somewhere we would like to visit but not sure as we’re in our 50s and it looks a youngsters crowd lol I’m sure people will comment 👍
Hahahaha Ben you cheeky monkey! Asking Kat if superman is her favorite position. She responds "i don't know what my favorite position is right now" Ben responds "I think i do...." 😆😆😆
Great video bud. I really want to travel to the Philippines one day and you have given me some perspective...thank you! I am watching from the great white north...Canada.
Ben..Cat is your sweetie pie! She has been adventurious..uplifting in many ways! Katrina is great. Her smile makes me smile..Love, Laura..A Meemee from New Hampshire
@boardrigger Idk about that. The Philippines has some beautiful wholesome/traditional women in the provinces. A rarity in the west. It's practically extinct here. Plus, they have long black hair. The most desirable color of hair for distinguished men.

Where is everyone watching from?! let me know
Croatia.
Philippines, enjoy your stay Ben!
Kenya 🇰🇪 🎉 and sometimes USA 🇺🇸
Los Angeles
The Netherlands.
The scene at the end where you're showing your hotel room and beach front looks amazing. Im glad you guys enjoyed your trip to the Philippines!
Disclaimer on this video: There is no pregnancy involved
More appropriate & honest title would have been about getting stuck on a zipline
Or is there…
congrats mate
I think it's just reference to Kat's sickness (oddly in the morning) in the last video.
Bare back packer Ben

Nice to meet both of you in El Nido!! 👋 As I shouted while we're in the kayak, you should visit Cebu next!
Got my spliff in hand and ready for

Ben, that was one of your best vlogs: we went from the crowing-roosters and dog-manure streets at the beginning to more and more exciting scenery. Well done.
Cat “I don’t know my favorite position right now” Ben “ I think I do” 😅
@@marty3076 i checkd it says make eyes contact
Ben, please travel more with Cat. She's beautiful, adventurous and funny.
Cat is the perfect travel companion, funny, adventurous and enthusiastic.
Ben: **hops on a bike to stroll a rough and wet terrain**
Also Ben: **Vietnam flashback intensifies**
☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️ PTSD
The place looked like an Jurassic era place
@@BackpackerBen you should visit Russian and Ukrainian village in pyillipines, it's very popular. Over 10k Russians are living there
@@socio-economicnewsnetwork4740 didn’t know 10k Russians live there! I think the island is Samal.
@@amaliahightower yes it's only one island. There are many all over Philippines, some are working, some are some got married with philipino and some settled or tourist.

Hallo from Germany 👋Thanks for sharing with us the real beautiful Philippines paradise 🏖🏄♂️Well done guys 👏and keep it up for the great work 👍😁✌
LMAO @ Ben saying that the rain is starting to piss him off, then cut to the next scene of Ben and Kat swimming in a torrential downpour 😆😆😆 Sometimes swimming in the rain is fun....
Didn’t realize until the end…Ben you just made another livelihood for the Philippines thru that promotion. Cheers and God bless you❤
brilliant video mate. hats off
Kat’s such a trooper!♥️🥰😊❤️
Cracking vid. Looking forward to the next one!

Agreed mate! Many thanks
Agreed, as a Brit who mainly lives in Malaysia I’m Stuck in the UK now for a few months and its shite!

@@invertedvertigo22 Good luck, you'll miss some things, but when you go to back to visit, you'll soon realise its worth the trade off.
Totally amazing, glad you guys are loving it.
That hotel room is epic and the price is incredible… what a view. Look forward to more videos of you guys. Watching from crappy UK lols
i wanna go to the uk !
Hey Ben!
Where are you at the moment? I’m vlogging around the Philippines.
Are you staying here for long?
If Harald Balder wound up in Bebeladan, it would've took him all of 10 minutes & he would've been having breakfast in a random families home, like he's known them all his life😄
Yes, I would never have that sort of nerve. I get embarrassed walking into a crowded cafe or bar
@@SilverfoxJB You should talk to a therapist about your social anxiety they'll help you get rid of it.
@@ForLegalReasonsThisIsAJoke1 they will help me get rid of many ££££s Maybe, I'm happy as I am
Yes Harald is not shy talking to locals and going in their homes for food he is amazing Miss him
@@SilverfoxJBThe unlived life is a tragedy 🤷
Best of luck to the lovely couple. Thanks for the beautiful video.
Great video Ben. You forgot to tell us the name of the beach hut at the end?
My girlfriend is filipino , and been having chemo ,and i would really like to take her somewhere on Palawan to recuperate.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🤗🤗🤗
Just come back from Vietnam nha trang. After watching this I already booked my next vacation in El nido ✌️

You two are such an adventurer, you go where ever you want to be, that's crazy! Stay safe guys 👍
The dog Frank is a nice touch I wish all accomodation came with them LOL!
Excuse me , but what dog?
Frank chilling on the door step, nice!
Hope you are enjoying the crazy weather.. what a nice zipline ride and nice hotel you are staying with a great ocean view. Good luck to both of you. Enjoy great beaches and our hospitaly.
Arghh, Harold has been there and bald to tawi tawi via mindinou. Also other vloggers,I think your the first Ben though lol
😂😂 definitely so..
I always like your videos before i even see it because I know it will be great.
Watching from the mountains of North Carolina USA, great video Ben..We loved it!
Awesome! Thank you!
Cat is a great gal👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Um grande beijo para ela😙Beautiful destination, too.
is Cat pregnant?
@@RYTG that what I was thinking
@@RYTG I don't think she would be smoking if she was pregnant.?
@@LukesJukesAm I tripping or I haven't seen her smoke or talk about smoking in this video (or in many others eventually)? 🧐
Love to do that stuff you are doing, but for now i am stuck with 3 small kids so that is not happening. Love this video and to see somebody who is able to travel like you do. Travel more with that girl! Watching you from Sweden
Bonnie & Clyde ❤ you'd be foolish to ever let Kat go anymore
I think you and Kat should get married. You're a perfect couple. I can see the chemistry.
Nice one Ben n Cat, gongratz both do enjoy PH, my second home : @ ) get yourself some Balut, if you can stomach it : @ )
Will be looking for balut tomorrow ;)
@@BackpackerBen Best of Luck Bro, your reaction will make good viewing, hi 5zzzz bruv if ya do it as I couldn't lol enjoy the Red Horse and Sisig :P
Great to have your videos back again.....enjoyed this one.
If you ever release merch, t'shirt with "can't fault it" would be a good first 😂
Or 'Mincin' Round Manilla'
Ah-ha
Look at this dog... Here in the Philippines
Dear Backpacker Ben & Harry Jaggard, enjoy your adventure in Mindanao. Have a great day & take care.
‘I drive next to you!’ And off he went 😂😂
What an gentleman
Who was he telling “ i drive next to you” i missed that part
@@georgeliakaris53 to cat when they realised they both couldn’t make the hill on the bike!
@@Lionking1190 ok thank you that makes sense, Ben was using his usual dry humor , thanks again for the explanation
I liked your sales pitch. Much obliged and I'm going to el Nido!
I'm watching from Brisbane, Australia. Its getting cold here unlike where you are. A very nice video. Cheers.
4000 😉
4305
Honestly mate, that was fun as hell :) Can`t wait for my next holiday to experience this as well. Keep the fun going!
No one has ever been there making videos. Errr. 8 Miles From Home, Kumander Daot, Paddy Doyle, BecomingFilipino
Paradise ! Great video.
Ben put the camera down and focus on Kat , keep her happy 24/7
Good video mate and it’s nice to see Kat at the beginning of your trip . Philippines is somewhere we would like to visit but not sure as we’re in our 50s and it looks a youngsters crowd lol I’m sure people will comment 👍
Noooo there’s many people here in 50s 😎
Hahahaha Ben you cheeky monkey! Asking Kat if superman is her favorite position. She responds "i don't know what my favorite position is right now" Ben responds "I think i do...." 😆😆😆
Double cable zip line, thats extra safe. I have only built single line units in Australia.
Kat is just amazing
Great video bud. I really want to travel to the Philippines one day and you have given me some perspective...thank you! I am watching from the great white north...Canada.
An Aussie, who lives in Holland. I love Asia, heading to Bali in three weeks 🥳🥳🥳 Bet you don't visit big mouth Tim while there. 🤣🤣🤣
I certainly hope not
🌴🌴🌴 Hi 👋🏼 Ben and Mrs. Ben 😂😂😂
Still catching up on some older videos. Blessings,Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊🇺🇸
Congrats on the pregnancy Ben
Have to give it to you Ben. Kat is very pretty and has a great personality so cheer's mate
You've done well.
Another video with beautiful Kat,wonderful!
Loved this Ben,Kat and Frank 😎
What a lovely little fishing village and that zip-wire looked fun..no need for apologies Kat that hill looked brutal 😳... ❤💙
Actually Ben I'm watching from Lucena City,Quezon Province.Have been here 8 years but plan to go home to the UK soon!
Why
I don't wanna go to the Philippines, I'd get pregnant
Wonderful video about Philippines. Always watch your channel, the content is so interesting and informative. Salamat po
I won't.
Your videos are fantastic and fun! Keep it up
13:46 Tim is too heavy for this zipline ride.
I do have to say that the zipline across the island was absolutely epic! That looked sooooo fun! I would do that all day long!
Awe man. I came for the pregnancy as advertised. 😂
Cool vlog... how to semi wander around Palawan... nice place to stay with a well fed Frank... God Bless.
Good to see Kat wearing appropriate safety clothing while on a motorbike
Ásia requires helmet as a safety clothing and lemme tell ya, it’s already a big ask 😂😂
Ben..Cat is your sweetie pie! She has been adventurious..uplifting in many ways! Katrina is great. Her smile makes me smile..Love, Laura..A Meemee from New Hampshire
Can not believe you sending Cat home - Cat needs her own channel
I’m pretty sure Ben isn’t sending her home she probably has work
Kat was really exhausted that heat can you knock you down creeps up on you 😊
You got yourself a girlfriend, good for you. I'd definitely would want to be single if I was traveling to the Philippines.
Ever heard the term "Bringing sand to the beach"? Having your own clean sand at the beach is priceless at times.
@boardrigger Idk about that. The Philippines has some beautiful wholesome/traditional women in the provinces. A rarity in the west. It's practically extinct here. Plus, they have long black hair. The most desirable color of hair for distinguished men.
How much do they cost?
Keep Kat on as a permanant addition to your vlog. She adds much to the content. Your subcriber numbers will climb.
Love how Ben thinks the UK has failed and yet he is in a country where they live hand to mouth😂
Well, since kier Starmer took over, things are really turning bad.
your funny ben i like you! good video man. first found your page throught the b&b lands end drive. i live in bristol.
8:43 nice banana at 70 pesos
I have worked with some great people from the Philippines, when they go home for a break I am going to ask them to take me with them.
agreed, they are great people
You going to hook up with your Best Mate Tim K??🤣🤣🤣
Very good Ben in Puerta Vallarta,Mexico formerly of London
Better than UK? 🤣 Enjoy mate
From Norway, new follower here. Through the whole video i was thinking, they are not drinking enough water, please hydrate!
Bloody hell Ben you’re so unsympathetic! Cat says they she’s dying and you say ‘let’s keep it going!’ Poor suffering girl 😂
She must learn the way
13:10 😂😂😂
Watchin* from Australia guys keep up the great videos💕💕
The title 😅 surely trolling
My thoughts as well.
Yes no pregnancy involved. Click bait title to get people to click on the video
@@dee74raz are you a mystery Meg? 😂😂
I'm only a few minutes into the video and I'm cracking up already....You two are great!
Click bait 😂 Just another view hungry youtuber 💀
thumbnail defo saying "oooo mince" - legend mate loving these new ones 🙌
This was brilliant, you obviously like the country
