It is a documentary not a vlog. Deserves more views. More vids please.
Totally agree! The quality of your content is absolutely stunning. The mission and purpose is so incredibly important and relevant. Well done!
💯
Easily 1mil subs already.. forreals
I agree
Video Log. Diary and documentation. In my perfective it's the same.
I lived in the Philippines for several years in Mindanao as a farmer and I'm retiring there this fall. Having said that I am scrolling through your videos and I find your thumbnails eye-catching, your title has excellent keywords in there for searching and your videos are edited well.
The weird part is one video might only have 10 or 15,000 views and the next video has 4 million. Both are about life in the Philippines and I find it incredible how one video goes viral and the other one which is just as interesting gets just a few views. I will be starting my channel once I retire there and I'm learning a lot about your titles and thumbnails. Great videos by the way
Im surprised no one has come up with water filteration system that can remove harmful stuff to make i drinkable especially from ocean.
@@dezikingThat would be difficult because the ocean has high concentration of salt
Bees don't waste their time explaining to flies that honey is better than shit. Maybe I see ya there. I have some friends there and look forward to going 🎉
@@dezikingdesalination is an expensive process
Thankyou very much for visiting our place sir. I hope you can come back here again
That looks really cool and like a fun place to live. Thanks for sharing
Where do you get your fresh water? Is it collected rain water or imported or both?
Nindot kaau inyo lugar bro. God bless sa inyo diha.
Hi Andrew, I'm an old subscriber of yours. I subscribed to your channel when I first saw you with Sonny (BEFRS) in one of his videos. I'm a native Tausug living in Sulu, seeing your videos in Tawi-Tawi and now Sibutu gives me a sense of pride and honor. I hope you can also visit my hometown it's not too far away from Tawi-Tawi.
I’ll be back in that part of the world at some point for sure. Would love to visit Sulu.
@@Andrew_Fraser I wasn't really expecting that you would response or even noticing my comment. Hoping to see you one day in person in our beautiful province.
Love this Andrew much appreciated bud…..man this is real living such beautiful people and places
Incredible place. I can’t wait to go back.
Thank you, it is my dream to visit the 7600 islands of the Philippines! You just showed me the farthest side of the Philippines
Had decades to do that. I'm happy with the almost a hundred I have seen.
7600 islands only 2000 are inhabitant and rest until now nobody lives.
mad respect for you Andrew! as someone who came from a muslim continent in this country, it brings me joy that this remote place is being shown to the world!! good job! great production!
These folks are living my dream life. Thanks a lot Andrew and team for this video, really appreciate it.
And shitting and pissing in the ocean - pathetic
How about the women who barely have any rights
@@yikes710 They don't have rights?
@@Nhibtauga they can’t wear what they want or say what they want, oppression at it’s finest.
@@yikes710 Ah i remember they are muzlim, guess it's their problem not mine
bravoo...you are the best cause when some one from west come to muslim area no one interest to make documentary but you not like that...i like your interest not islam fobia...bravooo again for you...thankyou bro....🎉🎉❤
I am also a content creator and i have a great respect for this man. Good job Andrew. Keep it up.
Enjoyed this video Andrew. I live in Manila and never knew about these things in my country!
Knew it mostly from snippets on TV but I'd probably never be able to visit
Happy to see Filipinos in southern Philippines living simple life there. Hoping they also get Govt assistance especially subsidies (4Ps) for Free education for each children.
Keep it up mate!!! Am sure a lot of us Filipino doesn't know some of those places in your documentaries exist..
Andrew thank you for visiting the Sibutu island in Tawi-tawi. Surprisingly it's the best seaweeds in the Philippines. Some people tried other places but only in sibutu island are the best.
Seaweed byproducts is the future. The local government should support the seaweed industry.
Galing nito. Nakatutuwa. You are a journalist.
all they need is solar panels to convert salt water into a drinking water, then they could start growing rice plus produce salt
And more rainwater harvesting storage.
- You talk alot but I absolutely LOVE your videos. I'll go with you next time if I could afford it. Coming from The USA ain't cheap my friend. 😢❤
really appreciate your love for the philippine island mate thank for visiting the remote place that hidden even on many filipino sweet as mate
Hi Andrew..They are known as "sea gypsy" because most of them can go in depth without any advance hi tech gear being worn or use. They can go in hours without having difficulty in breathing.Truly awesome.
you and mark wiens have the same expression while eating a magic words wow
Dude you are a go getter in cultural find. Absolutely amazing 😮
Wow very interesting. Spent my teenage years in the visayan region and I didn't venture enough to experience this. Thanks for featuring this.
I have been watching your blog lately. Just wondering if you ever heard of the fish "Ludong". This fish is called the "President"s fish and its endemic to a few areas of the Philippines. Particularly the northern part of the Philippines in Cagayan Valley. This fish is very expensive and I believe is one of the endangered species of fish in the Philippines. I hope you will be able to taste this unique fish. They also have the coconut crab..
8:45 if you need food,just swim out from your home and you can catch it..,hehehehe
The Bajau get most of their food directly from the ocean. They eat everything from many kinds of fish to sea urchins and octopi, all of which they catch mostly by spearfishing or gathering at low tide. Underwater, Bajau are famous for being able to hold a breath for several minutes.
Been binge watching your videos. It makes me miss the Philippines even more. Thank you for sharing and helping me experience a small part of home from overseas.
Great upload again, thanks for sharing Andrew :)
say kew kew! ahahha next time lets go together with LUROP PH nice video!
Thank you for Visiting that Island, proud to be a Pilipino. Hope to Visit that place someday 🎉❤
Such excellent, intriguing content, and the production, is superior! You need your own channel!
These vids are firmly in the field of food anthropology, and it's awesome.
Super interesting! Apparently some of them can hold their breath for over 12 minutes 😮
Thank you for visiting Tawitawi! I feel bad that this beautiful part of the Philippines has been neglected for a very long time now.
Carrageenan is a valuable product source from Seaweeds. Thanks for visiting our island Mindanao.
Amazing in every way! 👏😎 I would have loved for it to be longer, just chillin with the people in the communities and getting small story's from family's. Easily could be 3 or 4 hours and I would gladly watch each second. Lovely people from PH.
✌️ From California 🌴 ☀️
Thank you for covering these amazing folks that lived in the ocean without problem. Thank you Kuya 🇨🇦x🇵🇭
H Andrew,nicely done🎉.
These people are very intuitive.
I'm glad they figured out how to feed themselves well!
Beautiful photography 👍.
JO JO IN VT 🇺🇲💞
Been to Bongao and plan to visit Sibuto where my cousin lives with her family! Their family's business is trading seaweed.
The seaweed farming and use for food is also done here in the Caribbean.
When the seaweed is harvested, it is washed, dried and boiled and used to make a milk based drink.
That drink is know as either
" Irish Moss or Seamoss" based on what part of the Caribbean you live.
Very tasty and popular to the point where multinational food giants like Nestle also produce the drink and export it.
nice work on the vids dude
Let’s go! Let’s build this channel up! Love the contents! Let’s see more exotic foods!
Yoh Andrew!. You did another great job immersing into the culture. Your videos deserves the best from YT.. Cheers!.
another great video. keep it up😊👍
Your thumbnails stand out really well. Love this mini documentary!
Wild life, the world may progress but I do hope these traditions still carry on
Production quality, SUPERB! You deserve more subs!!!
I love this channel!, No Cap! 🤙🏾
Very Cool. I heard mantis shrimp are really good and expensive on the outside. I’ve finally found your page by accident. I have seen you on Sonny’s RUclips several times.
Wow, Andrew, you have came along way these videos are absolutely stunning and amazing. You deserve more views and they will come as long as you keep making this amazing above anything else content
Awesome episode, thanks for this. I'm wondering about the amount of microplastics that they consume by growing the seaweed on or next to old plastic bottles. Perhaps it's nothing to be concerned about, not sure, but that was my first thought.
Well they need to sell _something_ and that's what they can grow there. Starvation hurts more than a little microplastic.
what a first world problem to think about when you don't have to think of surviving day to day
First video from your channel I’ve seen! I found it to be very interesting! The presentation is excellent! I look forward to watching more content from your channel! ☮️🖖🏽
Very interesting video, tks!
Woaahh nice bro from 21k subs to 80k support you ma men friend of Sony lol but really amazing docs. Aswell as the video quality more subd ma men
Definitely a documentary my friend and fantastic at that, awesome drone shots !
Hey Andrew, what channel were you part of before? You look familiar. Anyway what you are doing now is AMAZING! A mix of doc, food, cool animation, etc. Keep it up please!!!
Hey Andy, The way they hang the Seaweed looks like the way oysters are farmed. Would oysters be a possible crop for them.? ✝️
Hey Edward, it’s should be possible. They cultivate a lot of oysters here in Vietnam, so it should work out even with the warm weather. Seriously though the seafood is everywhere in Sibutu. The spread they laid out for us when we got there was incredible. Definitely no shortage of amazing food. But what they really need to round things off is some carbs and greens.
@@Andrew_Fraser Hey Andy, The waters seem clean but how is the mercury ect. The price paid for the seaweed was ridiculous .06c for the whole sack 🐂💩. They also didn't seem to worry about sharks 🦈 either. I'm also baffled by the amount of hate replys to my comments. I can't imagine what you are getting. I personally like that you don't make the "average" video. Not the tourist friendly type but real people and their hardships. Can't expect too much variety in the cooking when they only have 5 basic ingredients to work with. Made me realize just how blessed I am. Seeya next time ✝️
@@edward2448 Water quality is amazing. I’m not sure if there is any way around the mercury though, especially if you are eating a lot of pelagics (which they do in the form of baby tuna), but I tend to think that stuff is a bit overblown. There is nothing in the water these guys aren’t comfortable with, that includes sharks. It’s the incredible breath holds these guys pull off that scares me; one mid-water blackout and you’re gone.
Don’t sweat the haters mate. I like a bit of controversy. I figure if it’s only positive comments, then the video was kind of boring. Every comment, good or bad, fuels the algorithm.
@@Andrew_Fraser That grilled tuna looked good. I think I would prefer some lemon or butter on it instead of a side of seaweed. When I was a kid I could dive for 5 minutes. Now at 65 I'm not doing much diving. ✝️
@@edward2448 Personally, I’m now a massive oily fish fan, but growing up in Australia, I wasn’t. Back then, I was swayed by the Australian fishing community mindset that prized only white, flakey fish. It was my travels through Europe that opened my eyes to the complete bliss of anchovies, sardines, and mackerel pâté, and showed me how closed-minded I had been about fish varieties. Nowadays a good Japanese style Saba Shioyaki is about as good as it gets for me.
They call it latok as well we Malaysian calling it, in Peninsular Malaysia it's kinda hype now, grilled fish restaurant having it as side dish or salad, i have high respect for this kind of people especially the bajau tribe, they live on the water, pity them that some of them don't even have nationality and life kinda hard if we go and try to live how they did so far all this time.
Great video , we need more video discovering and revealing how to farm and making a living side by side with nature without harming the nature

Overall, you did an exceptional job.🎉
Nice, you're not using AI generated thumbnail
just came across this vid and got to say it was great ! keep it up.
Happy to see someone actually coming to visit despite the general media stigma.
I grew up in the Philippines really far South in a city called General Santos for close to 2 decades very close to the coast much like this vid.
Despite being in a predominant Christian community we never really had friction with the Muslim communities there as well as the so called "rebel areas" that the general media likes to throw out even though we were being treated as foreigners and being told that those areas are dangerous.
It's really nice to see people visit the south and see it for what it truly is. Friendly nice people just trying to get by.
This is a documentary already. Great job. You gained a new subscriber.
thanks again.
Andrew make these kids longer like 30 minutes min pls. Love your stuff
One day I’ll try some super long edits. These are already a ton of work though.
amazing chaNNEL
Like it. Feels like watching a show from Netflix😊
I love those seaweeds guso and the lato. I could eat that everyday with just vinegar
wonderful episode, great job.... thank you for covering tawi tawi
Thx. for the video. I was more interested in knowing where they get their drinking water from.
Where do they get their drinking water from?
They buy it from boats. There is a shot of the delivery boats in the previous episode if you want to see what they look like.
Like Andrew said they are imported from mainland and larger islands. They also harvest rainwater (those blue plastic tanks outside).
Wow, a foreigner going to tawi tawi, you're brave
Yeah more of this will be awesome! Job well done
I hope you tipped them well for the samples and tour! ❤
Great video!
Awesome documentary as always ... no fresh water to shower n drink ... .. alot of work, i want one of those mantis shrimp as a pet😅
I’m looking forward for you to explore in the Philippines...Thank you!

Great show Andrew sorry I was an ashle with my last post. No excuse your show is perfect 👍 and very genuine. 💕🌻🙏😎
I’m not sure about that Sonny fellas though 🧐🧐🧐 😜 no I’m kidding. Keep it up bro sorry I’m that song…. “I’m an ashle, you’re an ashle 😅😅”
Thanks. My show is definitely not perfect but glad you like it. Just trying to improve each episode.
@@Andrew_Fraser You're great man andrew. Thanks for making the Planet a better place to be in. Loving being here. 🥰Love and light from Sydney and Samoa and NZ. yes I go back and forth.
awesome video!
Great video. My first time viewing one of your videos outside of with Sunny. Keep it up. Subbed. Peace.
Awesome video.....
Interesting insight into this wonderful lifestyle. Gave your channel a watch after your appearances alongside sonny side in besteverfoodreviewshow
good work mate 👍
What a beautiful place and people 💜
Tawi tawi is one of my Favorite place in the Philippines ❤
Kami gumawa nang mga class room dyan sa sibuto water supply at grandstand dyan napaka Ganda Ang Lugar dyan mas lalo na sa tahing
laaawl... I was expecting sunny to chime in.. then i realized that dude created his own channel.. hahaha def gonna sub.. dude was great with sunny! im interested in seeing what he does
we need to promote their food in Filipino restaurants. It would change the Filipino food game
I think being born into that lifestyle & culture they’re all very happy people even with their scarcity.
Nice video,,,,
I’m just wandering…where they put the waste water and there poo
In the ocean - tribe of primatives - pathetic - would touch the seafood there
Straight to sea. Don't be too finicky, Venice used to do the the same till recently, they just dump everything into the lagoon.
Very interesting place and very unique way of living! Love the videos! Where is the next location going to be? Is there any extra room in the group lol or is there a open spot for a random person who dreams of adventure?! I look forward to your videos, your living the life i can only dream of!
Great job Andrew.
