I enjoy the way most of your videos focus on the locals. To me that definitely sets you apart from the other RUclipsrs. The locals make the videos the scenery is just a added bonus.
I have been watching all of your Philippines videos & they are my favorites! I went in 2019 & miss it so much. I didn't do a lot of the touristy stuff because I was visiting a friend & doing some volunteer work while there (mostly Bohol, Cebu, & Camiguin areas). Your videos are more like the side of the Philippines I saw & I feel like it shows the real Philippines. I cannot wait to go back!
Oh how’s Camiguin?! I’d love to make a video there. And thank you for watching! I typically don’t do the touristy things either, but this one is definitely an exception!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL Oh yes- it's good to see some touristy things too! We did see the Chocolate Hills, tarsiers, & several other places! I definitely recommend Camiguin- it's beautiful! There's old church ruins & the sunken cemetery is fascinating. Also you have to go to White Island while there! We only had 3 days in Camiguin & it wasn't enough- beaches, rainforest, & volcano!
Para sa ating mga Pinoy, mahalaga ng mga Taga iBang bayan sa ating bansa. Sana pahalagahan po natin ito. Love you mga kababayan ko. Thank Sir Jonathan for liking our country, and our people.😊😊😊
don't be an ediot my country the Philippines is not beautiful as what they said, it's so humid here and we have tons of ugly chicks...my advice? go to Thailand or Indonesia
So happy you like our country Jonathan. That's also the reason why I like watching your videos. You know that's the nature of us Filipinos, even in the face of poverty and difficult times we still manage to smile and laugh. Take it from me, I lost my motorcycle with the bank, and I can't work anymore as a delivery driver, my wife and I ate once a day because of the financial situation we are in but we're still happy and one reason for that is your videos. Watching your videos makes me smile and joyfull.
I was a bit worried that you won't do an El Nido tour and miss out on all its beauty. Knowing that you prefer just exploring around compared to group tours and whatnot. Truly, nothing compares to the beauty of El Nido.
@@piyelpiyel4 dude let the man explore the beauty of the Philippine island, he knows what he was doing, and he is actually complementing it all by the view
@@eduardochavacano are you the guy that hated pilipino’s you’re everywhere, your name is pilipino but I see a lot of your comments with foul mouth, you’re spreading lots of negativity, it is time for you to get a life , I’ll pray for you
The massive limestone cliff and the crystal clear blue water is what Palawan set apart from other island destination in the Philippines.Palawan is definitely the most beautiful island in the Philippines but overall, Siargao is the best island for me.
But the food is catered ONLY to Filipino tastebud--fish and rice. They SHOULD have a couple of American or anything good for foreigners but rice and fish and that would complement the foreigners' visit of the beautiful islands.
@@miguelbalisi9952 The hotel provides whatever food suits the visitors. The food served in the island hopping tour is part of the tourism marketing the local food dishes. How would you experience the food culture of filipinos if you will not try any of their dishes.
You haven't seen the rest of Palawan yet, kapatid. Nothing in Siargao can touch the raw beauty of Southern Palawan (Palawan is more than just Coron and El Nino). But to each his own
@@miguelbalisi9952 , sounds like a privileged American. You come to another country, experience the culture. That’s the highest goal of a true traveler. If you’re a foreigner and just want to eat your own cuisine, stay home or cook your own food. I feel sad for such travelers
I'll be visiting some of my relatives in The Phillipines sometime this year. Around Manila. I'm coming from Alabama. Great, fitting music. See you later on, Jonathan 💪 I plan to move here in about a couple years.
Jonathan, you're making me feel like going home. Ive been here in the US since 2008, became citizen here in 2020 and haven't come back yet.Thank you for sharing.
Watching from California, I plan to visit there next year,I have to visit Palawan thanks for showing us this beautiful place,enjoy your stay in the Philippines and stay safe 🙏always watching your vlogs 👍👏
Nearly 11 years ago, we were in the Big Lagoon. It was close to the public because Survivor Sweden was filming and only El Nido Resorts clients were allowed. It was an experience to explore the lagoon to ourselves : me and my wife. Really immersed ourselves with the tranquility and calmess of what this place can give... Explore Palawaan and hope u can try the Vietnamese food from one of the remaining former refugees who ran a restaurant in Puerto Princessa. Love ur videos.
Hi, Jonathan you are the Vlogger that I respect, you and Dustin Bacpack in Cebu. Espicially Dustin help a lot of Filipinos struggling in the little town of Toledo, by building them houses and helping everyone in crisis.. Amping Jonathan you understand our culture, race and a good humility, compassion and kindness, love can make this World go around.. "Amping Jonathan" 🇵🇭
I shake my head at those RUclipsrs who go to El Nido and don't go on at least one boat tour. They miss out on some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. Good on you for checking it out. Tour C is awesome too btw. Looking forward to more of your El Nido vids!
I was there a few years ago and we had a speedboat so we covered a lot of islands in one day. We stayed at the Cauayan Beach resort and our villa was on the beach. Stayed for 3 days and enjoyed the island hopping tour.
Shimizu Island is the name because during World War 2, there's many Japanese Sunken Ship, somewhere at that location. Correct me if I am wrong I search and Googled it a Diver name Shimizu drown, and they could find him, so that's why they call the place under his name..
Try visiting Romblon too made up 3 major islands, climb Mt. Guitin Guiting, Cresta de Gallo, Cantingas River where you can swim and drink the cleanest water. Beautiful beaches in Tablas Islands
So I met a Filipina and I am now in Cebu via Angleles and Manila. Thank you for the videos. There are a lot of youtubers who film all the positives and no negatives and make fake videos to get views. Your videos seem real and honest. I've seen it first hand now, going to Moalboal tomorrow. Thank you, been here 2 weeks, got 2 more to go, maybe it is real love. If you find a Filipina she is a keeper!!!! I think lol Love your videos!
You should come and visit Coron next. The tour destinations there are more stunning. You can go hiking there as well and also you may want to relax on a hotspring.😁
I wanted to sleep but I cant stop watching these clear waters in this video. All I can say Im proud being Filipino. Were maybe poor but rich in the nature's beauty and we also hehe....thanks for coming sir!!
Not Everyone though ok … Some of Them They don’t Understand and Struggles To Constructs a Sentence They Said yes with Everything Even if they don’t understand What they Saying…. Only the People’s Who go to School Understand a little or Basic English..✌️✌️✌️
@@piacash5216 Well Majority can speak, understand and comprehend English regardless of their accent, intonation and fluidity. It says 98% of Filipinos graduated Highschool, so it means atleast 98% of Filipinos can speak English 🙂
When I was there doing the same tour, also solo, there was something in the rock formations that's so captivating. They're like the skyscrapers of nature.
I just did Tour A in January and regretted not taking more photos and videos. Now I can just tell people to watch your video. Looks like the water was calmer for you. It was a bit rougher when I went which made for a few concerning moments, but it was still gorgeous.
I have been to El Nido twice! And if given the chance, I would definitely go again without a doubt. It’s a breathtaking paradise, and definitely worth every penny. ❤️❤️❤️
Hello friend thank you for your lovely 😍 vlog on the island 🏝 hoping experience 😊. Elnido and those wonderful images❤️ you shared with us. A really lovely vlog and thanks for having us along Simon and Beth 👍🙋❤️
God bless us I love it very beautiful and I enjoy watching this video. To all visitors thank you so much for visiting Philippines. From Lani D. Nepomuceno, Philippines 🇵🇭
Watching you Jonathan almost all ur vlogs. It's nice and interesting. So enjoy your day guys everywhere is beautiful and really amazing views of our beloved country the Philippines. 💖🇵🇭🇪🇬
I have never been to Palawan Watching your vlogs actually all of your blogs in the Philippines you just don’t know how much I enjoyed and loved it I lived in Chicago USA for almost 50yrs I missed Philippines
Not sure if it’s true but I was told by our tour guide that it was named after a Japanese tourist who drowned on the island who’s last name was Shimizu.
Such a gorgeous EL NIDO 😍 I really enjoyed watching the beautiful views and sceneries. Love to visit there someday. Thank you for the tour Jonathan. Stay safe, your new subscriber !😊
TIP: when you go on tours, you can request the boatmen to reverse order the stops. so you dont go so busy with the other boats. you go to the last destination (supposedly) first...and you will find that your boat has the place all to yourself. halfway you will meet them all but on your last stop (supposedly the first) you will find everybody has left. ha ha thank me later.
I went there (not the same guys from the tours) and I didn't know how to swim, I almost drowned the first time. But I learned a bit so it wasn't that bad. I didn't go to Secret Beach because I was scared to get hit by the rocks (and my not much experience at swimming too).
Great video, I've been enjoying your content on the Philippines, that's where im going soon and it ur videos have great scenery and interactions with all the fellow Filipinos. Keep up the great work.

I want to go to the Philippines right now because of your vlogs. I always watch your vlogs since then. 💖 from Puerto Rico

What you saw was the tip of Palawan. Wait until you see San Vicente, Balabac, and Coron Palawan or join the Tao expedition. They're equally magical.
Palawan is like Heaven on earth 🌎 look at that clear water 💧

You should at least come back and visit! So much to see and do here! Thank you for watching!
You know the life here, it's difficult to get a time off from work. Especially on my husband's job. He's an American and I shared this video to him.

I’ve actually had this one for a few months, but it’s not an everyday style for me. Thank you for watching!
I wonder how Ha Long bay compares with El Nido, because El Nido sure is beautiful!
Wow Philippines 🇵🇭
Watching from Thailand 🇹🇭
I noticed that you are the most friendly caucasian tourist blogger in the Philippines,,

Awesome content Jonathon. Thank you for bringing us along on your fantastic adventures into the Philippines.
Wow ..look out the beauty of water stunning 😍
much enjoyed, the cliffs and beaches incredible. food on the beach yum!!
Shimizu 清水 means "Pure Water" in Japanese.
Now I can see why.
Not sure if it’s true but I was told by our tour guide that it was named after a Japanese tourist who drowned on the island who’s last name was Shimizu.
@@carlosi13 That's what the name Shimizu means, either i felt bad after hearing that tragic incident.
This guy is truly passionate about what he is doing. I like that. We need good guys like him.😎

Hi Jonathan, great video of the Island Tours. The water was such a beautiful color and you could see the big rocks really well.
Wow!! You are living the life my friend!!!
Wow, that secret cave and area is incredible 🥰 so beautiful
I always watch your video Jonathan and we support you all the way
Here in japan , i recommend nagasaki , sasebo ,goto ,miyazaki in Kyushu region & okinawa for exploration,related to water.
Beautiful emerald green water
That looks Amazing! I want to go there!
Those clear multi colored waters are so inviting indeed!!
Oh man. I miss the Philippines. So excited to go back. I have a new place to visit next time. Thanks bro. Me and my asawa will have new adventures.
Holy molly!!! That nature????? Men! Thats epic!!!
You have to go to Coron Palawan.
It might be the top of my list now after seeing this
Not expensive inclusief lunch. Thanks for sharing your amazing video

Don't worry about the sunscreen, it goes with fun in the sun, I am so jealous, that place is lovely.
😂 thank you!
I am so happy you finally did an EL NIDO tour… 👏👏👏
Verry nice water color
I want to go back there the water is so clear and happiness overload while swimming very relaxing...
went there December and it was so beautiful.. might come back again for more adventure...
Great video, I've been enjoying your content on the Philippines, that's where im going soon and it ur videos have great scenery and interactions with all the fellow Filipinos. Keep up the great work.
Great content again Jonathan. Can’t wait to get there. Moving late July.
Added on my bucket list.
it definitely should be on there!
There's a lot more beautiful islands and beaches in Palawan. Hope you see most of them. Ingats!
Finally, I've been waiting for these boat tours. :) Thank you.
Thanks for watching!! I need to do more of them
Explore also San Vicente, Coron, Balabac, Busuanga, Linapacan and Puerto Princesa. All these places I've mentioned are also in Palawan
I was just there a week ago. Just simply beautiful place!
Great video Jonathon ! The beauty of this place is the most beautiful place I have seen !
Try visiting Camiguin Island, you’re gonna love it too…then from there, go visit Davao, not very far from Camiguin(and Siargao too)…..
