I am from Cotabato City Sir and I am very grateful that you tried to visit our City despite all of the ppl saying "it is dangerous" and having the courage to go here all alone - but in my opinion, it's better if you have someone to guide u all along because there are still some places here in Cotabato that we are very proud of such as the Grand Mosque that was located in Barangay Kalanganan II as well as the tourist spots in Timako. There are some cities here that are not so far in our City that you can try to visit as well and for sure, you'll be amazed in what you will see because there are lots of places here in Maguindanao that are not so famous but it is safe and has a good-looking view.
As a person from the city, I honestly feel embarrassed whenever I see tourists going around Cotabato alone. I honestly don’t think the city is convenient enough for the tourists. This was informative and was also a hard watch for me 😂. Kudos to you, Sir, for trusting the gut and explored it anyway despite the people saying that it’s a dangerous place. I’d love to know about your genuine impressions on the city.
@@mujiahidmentang2806 I know how it is in Cotabato because I'm a citizen in Cotabato, myself. I can say that it's pretty safe in Cotabato but it's not convenient enough for foreigners or people who've just visited for the first time simply because it doesn't have much to offer, unlike cities like Davao. Despite that, it's still a developing city, and seeing its current state, we can all agree that it's much better than the Cotabato we've had before.
@@mujiahidmentang2806 I never said people in Cotabato are bad. Taga Cotabato ako bun, Sir. I just simply commended him for visiting Cotabato despite the popular belief that it’s a dangerous place to be in. Also, in addition, I felt embarrassed because Cotabato doesn’t have much to offer to tourists unlike Davao, Gensan, etc. But seeing the current progress that Cotabato is going through, I can see the city thriving and becoming a choice for comfort in the near future.
Cotabato before were purely muslims but nowadays its kinda mixed with christians and they were good together no discrimination. Notice the man said its dangerous for foreigners but nowadays its peaceful. God be with you and keep you safe.
Cotabato city is safe Place but some people think Its dangerous here in cotabato because they didnt explore enough thats why They think cotabato is dangerous
you need a time/day watch, Marshall! or just look at your phone date/day widget every morning, haha. apparently the sights to see in Cotabato City are the grand mosque, the city hall/People's Palace and some cave. guess you'll take us around in the next vlog/s.
Welcome to cotabato sir, you should've tried to go in Manongs near at the jollibee highway. They're famous for their pastries and tasty shakes! for sure will blown you up :D
my goodness! they can't leave you to eat in peace! hahahaha! amazing you don't even ask for some tissue, fork, knife or anything? i always do that. i also enjoy going on travels like that- sans the vlogging.. enjoy!
Cotabato city is safe now people. Dont be fooled sir, they are not locals.very safe Even for foreign tourists. But its better to have a local to introduce or guide you around. The grand mosque at tamontaka, wear decent clothing for men and women, must be in pants. The sunset at timako hills is always a pleasant experience. Barbeque stands around the city are exceptional and bbq native chicken near central pilot school are the best. Its safe as most people are not roaming around beyond 8pm, like any other typical provincial life/culture. However the city does have its nightlife so it could cater to all needs of the locals. I could say, the city is actually balancing well the religious culture and modern culture presently for all people in the city. I have lived primarily in quezon city and fortunately not missing the metro traffic when i got employed here more than 2 years ago. 😊
I suggest you go out On Night because theres a lot of beautifull places here Like inside the People palace and lot More beautifull areas that you can explore and its safe because theres a lot of police stationed in every corner of cotabato so its really safe but dont go On super because its kinda dirty there
To those who have commented that Cotabato City is dangerous and not safe for tourists or international vloggers, I want to let you know that Cotabato City is much like any other place. No country is perfect; there are good and bad aspects everywhere, including crime and violence, which are common in all countries. I have been living in Cotabato City for 28 years and have not heard of any violence experienced by international tourists. Nowadays, many foreigners from around the globe visit Cotabato City, and some even choose to stay here because it offers fresh vegetables and fruits, and the cost of living is much cheaper compared to other cities. I work for an NGO and have collaborated with people from various nationalities, especially from Western countries. They commute to our office in Cotabato City by bicycle or on foot every day, which indicates that Cotabato is safe. Let’s not assume that Cotabato is dangerous for those who want to visit. Here, you are safe as long as you are not involved in any illegal activities. Nothing will happen to you if you respect the local laws, just as it is in your own places.
Yes he meant documentary. It's not hard to understand but some people don't put the effort to understand what the person is saying. Intellectual laziness 😂
I keep seeing foreigners going to that hotel. That's like the worst hotel you can find in cotabato. Just go to the downtown they have better hotels or Alnor if u wanna be somewhat comfy and luxurious
Many of maguindanaon sir, is uneducated...lack of money thats why they cant speak english...sometimes even tagalog they cant even understand or speak only in their dialect...sorry for my english its not too good 😅 im trying my best to explain to you... Keep safe 🙏❤❤❤
kidnapping was rampant before that was 20-25 years ago but not now, Cotabato City is developing and progressive now. I've been there 3 times and the city is awesome and not what some people think.
There is no danger in Cotabato City. Nobody will kidnap you. Wait till you get out alive of Cot. City. I remember my friend Kerry Ann Lambert from Australia in 1981.
The guy that asked what's your purpose of filming around might be an abu sayaf itself..scared that the people will know their unorganized city will exposely bad....
im from cotabato, idk how the hell youtube is recommending this to me. Cotabato is not a good place to stay. Youre better off living in San Francisco in Agusan Del Sur than here. Shootings happen sometimes and unaliving people happens often when duterte is not the president of the philippines anymore. San francisco agusan or davao is a better place but davao is such a big place its quite pain in the ahh but much more safe than the majority of places in Luzon cities
@@erasergun. have you live here? last sickest photo ive ever seen from this city is a "unalived" body in the ground and people are looking at it at the distant stores like its a normal day lmao. go eat fetus homeboy

Visits Marawi City...
Woooow that's my home town welcome sir hoping to meet you when I come back home for now here in Riyadh saudi 🇸🇦 keep safe sir ❤❤❤🫂
How can you compare Mindanao to the rest of the Philippines?
Cotabato city is a mix friendly Christian and Muslim community and a safe place to visit for foreigners
This foreigner has nothing to lose.
Jeepeys
The only difference in Manila and here in Cotabato is that people here won't scam you..
True
You have to be careful, esp in mindanao.. if you go to mindanao, davao is the safest and siargao
They’re not used to seeing foreigners in the deep South.
I think the man who said documentation meant if you’re making documentary.
Yes he meant documentary. It's not hard to understand but some people don't put the effort to understand what the person is saying. Intellectual laziness 😂

Keep safe sir please 🙏 😢 that place is not safe for you I'm so worried about you 😢 🙏 🫂🫂🫂

Yummy
Ik some of you came here to see maam grace and maam fillo
Nanpamba ka naoma kano a bicita migkape sa native....😂
contrary to popular belief, Cotabato is one of the safest place ever! People are nice, chatty and City proper has the most jampacked Jollibee store.
@@mrrobert177 Much safer than Manila
This is a good one. Three nights should suffice. 😅
@@ziggarilloyes po Agree
Good thing you weren't dressed in full armor like Magellan!
Good thing you're not kidnapped

@@jeromehernandez1138yes Sir big agree po 😊
its smoked tuna
That is not made by machine (foods) its hand-made!
If you ask the Manila And Media in Luzon are to bad, killer, kidnapped, bombings etc. this only placed are very safety and safe people's
Cotabato is muslim city of the philippines
That's the most uncomfortable video so far.
They were just curious, because vlogger in this city is seldom..
Well welcome to the Philippines one of the top friendliest countries to foreigners in the world
Except in mindanao thats kinda like a forbidden place in the Philippines, its where i live
Fyi, cotabato is quite safe, the dangerous part was the road way going to cotabato
There is no danger in Cotabato City. Nobody will kidnap you. Wait till you get out alive of Cot. City. I remember my friend Kerry Ann Lambert from Australia in 1981.
Looks not safe to go there...
It's safe to go here as long as you have meet good people
True beans
