Dejabu KD! Clearly, ur demeanor shows a deep emotion n a feeling of nostalgia being in a place u've been some years ago. I'm emotional, too. The fact that I grew up in La Union province but the closest I've seen the Cordies is Bagiuo twice before heading out to Good Ole USA...
Trully, Cordillera brings back memories... when I was in my younger years without electricity climbs the tip of the mountain in the late afternoon to see the distant lights of downtown wondering how to live there in plains. Same thing maybe someone wondering in the plains how it feels to live in the mountain. Enjoy, record the memories not only in your memory cards but in your heart and mind. Cheers!
The Philippines is a beautiful and an alluring country. The people are warm, kind and respectful. Greetings from a police smiling at KD show how warm and respectful they really are. The mountains in pine trees and glorious rice and vegetable terraces are a sight to behold.
"Every challenge has its fantastic ending..." - K.D You might not have realized yet, KD, but for most us who are watching you... you are more than just a content creator, or a story teller. You are an inspiration. All of you... BoyP, Kulas, Bret and you. Thank you for inspiring adventure seekers like me. We are up for more challenges ahead. Because we know, the Ending will always be Fantastic!
Baguio and Sagada through your lens is different from the rest of the vloggers. I love those drone shots from the mountains and the rice terraces! I hope this vlog will get a million views! Keep safe KD!
I just love to see this. My first trip to Philippines was in december 2016. I first went to Banaue and Sagada. I just love it there, like you say, peaceful. It is fresh air and so beautiful. I hope to soon go there again. Then I also will add Bontoc and Baguio. You are one of the best Vloggers of all out there. You are genuine, humble but with good sense of humour. Also very respectful to all people. Greetings from Sweden!
I am really so glad you visited my town and my roots, the Cordilleras! By your lenses you show the life and resilient filipinos in the mountains! The weather is what I am always looking forward to when I come home. Being overseas for so long and watching this reminds me of this of my love for my province. Thank you KD for visiting us finally!!! Your fan from Atok here.
Wow!😲 Such spectacular country there high up in the mountains! And the views.🤯 Love those drone shots.❤ I got a sense of the peace and calm you were feeling as you were driving at the upper heights of the mountains. Except, of course, at the point where only motors could go through. Just seeing your video as you drove through there was giving me that queasy feeling in the pit of my stomach. (I have what I call a healthy fear of heights, especially when there is no barrier between me and such a frightening drop off.) That mountain drive on the Halsema Highway looks so exhilarating, though. Who knew Kumander Daot could do emo? 16:40 Watch out, Kulas!
What an awesome place, KD! I'm totally amazed at all ur drone footage... the dense housing system, the incredible rice terrace, the vegetations, the windy mountain roads n on n on. U guys are so lucky to explore such beautiful creations of nature. God bless KD, BP & GP...
Welcome to our place Anselmo ❤❤❤. The way you narrate your story makes me love my native land more. Matago tago ka ( it means you will live long) it is our common words of blessings to our visitors.
For locations like these, where the terrain is mountainous, drone footage capturing all the details from a bird's-eye view would be epic. It's really cool to watch. Highest elevation is record would be the identity of the area which is really cool. 😁
Use of vehicle's wheel as trolley to move produce between mountains is ingenious. Bontoc is the capital town about 30 minutes down, go visit the museum.
story telling at its best again. the sound. the tone of your voice. the narrative. the view. the story. and the man behind and in front of the camera... EPIC!
Kumander Daot first love in the Phil., her name is Sagada 😍. The love of nature, beautiful sceneries, beaches and the simple living in the province and the people changes KD life forever. You are one of us now gentleman. We love and respect you, God Bless.
I miss that place, I was there last December to do Sumaguing all the way to it's smaller chambers going deeper and Lumiang cave connection. If you're into adventure it is a must, but if you're not, the town is nice and peaceful also has really nice cafe's. I was born in Baguio but moved to Vancouver, Sagada reminds me of how my place in Baguio looked like 25 years ago.
Very beautiful and scenic. I say, your editing skills are getting more polished Kumander! You may just reach half a million subscribers before the end of this year if you pass out stickers or cards through your travel routes.
Perfect timing on your trip to the mountains. Never go there though on the rainy season coz of the landslides. Your videos are always inspiring. Keep it up Kumander Daot.
So many awesome moments in this one Kumander. There’s many awesome places in the Philippines, but there is something so powerful about the Cordilleras. Even the quick, simple statement by the guy with the Tamaraw pulling up gulay, “Everything is possible.” speaks to the strength of the mountain people. While I enjoy watching the adventures of Kulas and Bret, I love your style….it’s more documentary and less “reality TV”. Keep doing what you’re doing brother.
Wow Kumander D, believe me we're balling tears making me miss home😍😹... you just showed the intersections in Abatan Buguias Benguet where my home town to your left side towards Mankayan town... not Monkayo😹... I remember Kulas BecomingFilipino had his drone to this area in the past too that made me watched/subscribed his channel back then. Great to know you've been enthralled amongst the PHILIPPINES CAPITAL PINES OF CHILL with your pals kabayans. Enjoying every bit of your journey and grateful for sharing with us FBI abroad (full-blooded Igorots). If I'm not mistaken you just experienced our wild mountain tea endemic to Benguet or mountain provinces we call it GIPAS or GEEPAS tea. I miss it so much!😢😂 Here's a recent vlog from FDG Stages shared about the tea ruclips.net/video/-KT8xI_yOUs/видео.html or you may ask the lady host if that tea is Gipas. It's never serve or rarely serve in any restaurants or Karinderias in the past but time has change at least they try to share them with the public now 😄 otherwise, it was a secret local tea amongst other wild berries/mushrooms we have in the mountain provinces, oops😹 ingat as inyong tatlo💕
Love the drone shots Kumander D! You really showed the winding and sometimes dangerous road. Most videos I’ve seen were the hanging coffins right away but never the road and the vegetable terraces on the hills. By just viewing, it looks peaceful and your face speaks of it. You look so calm and happy. Your cheeks are pinkish seems like you will thrive there if you try to live there for a while. Thank you for showing us Sagada and the road to it from Baguio city.
I am a Cordilleran living in Europe and Im so glad i stumbled upon your videos. I really like the way you present your vidoes, informative and so meaningful content. I gotta say i get emotional watching your vlogs in my hometown.
I wonder why Sagada gives that vibe of being a serene place. Everyone who goes there have this feeling of calmness. Feeling peace inside. Sagada is a good place for those who feel depressed and uninspired.
You were looking forward to a veggie meal after passing highland vegetations along the way, the funny thing is, you opened up servings of lowland veggies. However, I must say beef in Benguet is so good! Cows are being fed grasses on pasture lands. That system of hauling veggies using the wheel of a vehicle is surely a good help to the farmers. Am sure Nhel and Lily will love to vacation there. Thank you KD for these awesome awesome drone footages of Baguio, Benguet and Mountain Province. “Ganasem di biyahe ya pasyar mo” (Enjoy your trip and visit). Much 💕.
I tuned into this video because these places are your favorites!!! Banaue terraces are popular tourist destinations but Sagada is spectacular I believe!!!! Stunning photography!!! You are authentic KD. Your laugh is infectious Big guy😂😂😂😂🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰👏👏
thank u KD for showing the beautiful farms in the province... it shows hows the hard work of people and live decently in the elevated mountains with their lovely and welcoming homes...
Anselmo my Auntie was born in the little hospital in Sagada and spent her first 5 years in the little town of Besao near Sagada. Then WW2 began and her family were marched and trucked to Bagiuo by the invading forces and then eventually to spend 4 years in Sto Tomas Prison. Years later she was able to go back and see her childhood home in Besao and many early day friends. Great video Anselmo thanks!
Kumander ..,' your a great storyteller..! Superb videos., your skills go hand in hand..! From your first upload to this one., the best / 1 of the best travel blogger and storyteller...!
Kalinaw. Kalipay. You have become such an amazing videographer.. You have inspired me to take that path next month as part of my Luzon journey. Thank you!
Yesss the beauty of the cordilleras..gandaaa ..i was there wd my co..teachers 2014? Nice shots..there u will see urself higher than d sea of clouds...God of creation n wonder...he alone is to be praised..😮😊
KD is so lucky having gone to the most scenic spot in our beloved Phils. I got so zealous. A native from N. Mindanao but still striving for a better life outside of the country. Hope in the near future I can do the same you guys are enjoying now. God bless you KD and your family. Watching from California.
The roads are excellent despite some areas are dangerous, and the design of the farmland is truly fascinating. It seems like the crops are benefiting from the good weather conditions.
That street in the yoghurt house used to be less busy. Now there's just too much vehicles there. I 've been to Sagada twice after every 5 years. I need a long time to forget the aches when hiking thru the falls and doing spelunking.
DANGEROUS ROADS ..... Super like .... Yours truly was Born in Sagada but raised in the beautiful Baguio City. Watching this made me miss my origins even more. I cry while mesmerized how it has deeply improved through the years. The awesome views amidst the treacherous mountains will lead us in awe and brings joy and tranquility .... Like you, I'm not a coffee drinker too. I don't want to be addicted Lol. Warm water or hot tea is good enough for me ... Enjoy the adventure. Hope I can do a reaction video to this if it would be alright with you. I would make it shorter and would credit you like what I do with some of Kulas' videos of Becoming Filipino .. . ... Enjoy the thrilling and enchanting journey as you find more places to conquer .... and you are right indeed, Dangerous roads lead to beautiful places .... Have a great day !!!
Amazing ingenuity of the villagers carrying their vegetables from way down there up to the main highway!!! Such wonders never cease to amaze me!!!!🤪🤪😆😆😆😆😆🌼🌼🌼🌼👍👏
Kumander daot is a very good drone shoot scenery and and very good story teller about the said place. More vlog and more subscribet kuman D. God Bless you
This is the place I have really been excited to go back to. These are my favourite memories from my FIRST WEEK in the Philippines!
Dejabu KD! Clearly, ur demeanor shows a deep emotion n a feeling of nostalgia being in a place u've been some years ago. I'm emotional, too. The fact that I grew up in La Union province but the closest I've seen the Cordies is Bagiuo twice before heading out to Good Ole USA...
💖 thanks KD for reigniting my bucket list 💖💖 MLSO to Boy P..... enjoy! GOD BLESS your adventures.....
💖💖 YOU ARE MY BEAR GRYLLS IN THE PHILIPPINES

Welcome to the Igorot lands..enjoy the mountain views and indigenous foods
A beautiful place where you will be at peace with yourself. With the amazing rice terraces and mountains! Amazing!
To us Filipinos - you constantly inspire us to appreciate and love our country more! Great stuff!
Watching from the other room hahaha
Hello sa kabila hahaha
One of the best places I’ve been ❤❤ Thanks kumander daot for showing us again the beauty of Benguet province
I am really so glad you visited my town and my roots, the Cordilleras! By your lenses you show the life and resilient filipinos in the mountains! The weather is what I am always looking forward to when I come home. Being overseas for so long and watching this reminds me of this of my love for my province.

Nakakatako na ang daan, ngunit pinakamaganda ang paligid doon Kumander!
When you hear of the Philippines you only hear of the beaches. What an amazing surprise. Absolutely breathtaking.
Wow, ingenious, regarding the vegetables transport!
I watched a lot about cordillera vlogs particularly Halsema highway but , this is the best documentation ,
Same,i truly appreaciate it and make me want to go sagada,,
Wow!😲 Such spectacular country there high up in the mountains!

Serenity, it is.
enjoy and keepsafe guys
wow. spectacular rice terraces
Welcome to our place Anselmo ❤❤❤. The way you narrate your story makes me love my native land more. Matago tago ka ( it means you will live long) it is our common words of blessings to our visitors.
Cool to see that hauling mechanism they put up
For locations like these, where the terrain is mountainous, drone footage capturing all the details from a bird's-eye view would be epic. It's really cool to watch. Highest elevation is record would be the identity of the area which is really cool. 😁
KD's Amazing travels! I liked it!
Nothing short of awesomeness KD 😍 drone shots are phenomenal! Imagine paragliding, birds eye view at it's finest 💖
The mountain view and rice terraces are just breathtaking. What a glorious sight. Hope to visit this beautiful place someday. 🙌⛰️🇵🇭
Use of vehicle's wheel as trolley to move produce between mountains is ingenious. Bontoc is the capital town about 30 minutes down, go visit the museum.
Drive safe enjoyed your journey in luzon🙏
story telling at its best again. the sound. the tone of your voice. the narrative. the view. the story. and the man behind and in front of the camera... EPIC!
Watching from Seattle, USA😊 I am so glad that you love my home town. Enjoy po kayo 😊 please ingat lang po.. take care and God Bless in your travel🙏🇵🇭🥰
Kumander Daot first love in the Phil., her name is Sagada 😍. The love of nature, beautiful sceneries, beaches and the simple living in the province and the people changes KD life forever.
You are one of us now gentleman. We love and respect you, God Bless.
No better vlogger than a man who seemed to never outgrew his cheerfulmess from childhood. So different, so real.
I miss that place, I was there last December to do Sumaguing all the way to it's smaller chambers going deeper and Lumiang cave connection. If you're into adventure it is a must, but if you're not, the town is nice and peaceful also has really nice cafe's.

Thanks for sharing this video ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nice aerial drone shots! Kumander Daot is killing it! Sagada is stunning! 😱👍
Its good to see someone with a love for landscape. I've had that since a child.
I can see your excitement Daut! Thanks for the great video!
This is by far one of THE most visually stunning videos I've seen!
Very beautiful and scenic. I say, your editing skills are getting more polished Kumander! You may just reach half a million subscribers before the end of this year if you pass out stickers or cards through your travel routes.
Fantastic photography! Way to go Kumander!!
wow kumander thanks for the virtual trip. i haven't been to sagada in over a decade. a lot has changed!
Nice vlog Ansel aka KumanderDaot.Very amazing views😊
Perfect timing on your trip to the mountains. Never go there though on the rainy season coz of the landslides. Your videos are always inspiring. Keep it up Kumander Daot.
You can move here in the Cordillera Kumander. You can do your gardening and Off roading😀. I’m glad your enjoying my hometown. Cheers👍.

awesome drone video...
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
Awesome vlog! Beautiful mountain views!!!
Great video capture of landscapes. Thank you! Really enjoyed it.
I wonder why Sagada gives that vibe of being a serene place. Everyone who goes there have this feeling of calmness. Feeling peace inside. Sagada is a good place for those who feel depressed and uninspired.
I always wondered... It's like you come through the mountains and into a different world. An unexplainable feeling!
Wow!! Ganda !
Wow ang ganda nemen ..
You were looking forward to a veggie meal after passing highland vegetations along the way, the funny thing is, you opened up servings of lowland veggies. However, I must say beef in Benguet is so good! Cows are being fed grasses on pasture lands. That system of hauling veggies using the wheel of a vehicle is surely a good help to the farmers.

So amazing!
I tuned into this video because these places are your favorites!!! Banaue terraces are popular tourist destinations but Sagada is spectacular I believe!!!! Stunning photography!!! You are authentic KD. Your laugh is infectious Big guy😂😂😂😂🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰👏👏

👍😎🤿🇵🇭Really great video just such a spectacular incredible view! Thanks really enjoyed!
Amazing drone shots 😮😊
Pabor gyud basta kumander daot sa checkpoint😆
Yes you have to give it to the old ways of farming on mountains sides. Crazy excise everyday.
Anselmo my Auntie was born in the little hospital in Sagada and spent her first 5 years in the little town of Besao near Sagada.
