Your coverage is better than some television shows. The DFA should commision you to cover other Philippine Islands. This is informative, educational and entertaining.
@Nate Hovee thanks for showing us places in our country we ourselves as Filipinos have never been to and that's a little sad. There's just too many to see and it would take money to do that. New subscriber.
Stunning travelogue, very well assembled, unobtrusive background music when appropriate, and some of the most beautiful sights that humans can experience. A close friend (years ago) hailed from nearby Bohol and often spoke of the Chocolate Hills in that region, but I don't recall hearing about Siquijor, so this was a most pleasant diversion. Thank you so much for this. You are living the good life. Enjoy it!
Siquijor Island... the best well kept secret anywhere in the Philippines. I was born and raised in the sleepy town of Lazi, albeit lived in the US since many moons ago now. But I have never parted ways with my beginnings. I still maintain a little "hut" in the "Island of Fire" and I do visit as often as I can. Thank you Nate for showing the world, a glimpse of the true idyllic life in and images of our far-flung little Island. I have never been as proud and as much, realized how pristine and beautiful "my" Island really is, up until I saw this clip. The wonderful tour speaks for itself. Magnificently done indeed.
Nate you have beautifully shown us the island of Siquijor and anyone watching this vlog will be enticed to visit the island, myself included. Thank you very much for sharing with us your knowledge of Siquijor. Kind regards!
Hi Nate, sorry to have missed your recent livestream and Premier for this video as well. Thanks for this great documentary of Siguijor Island. Looks like you did a great job of covering the famous Caves, beaches, churches and resorts that are part of the Island. As always your video narration, filming and editing skills were top notch. Really enjoyed the underwater sanctuary footage with all of the beautiful colored fish and Sea Turtles. Seeing the White Stone churches and hearing their history was fascinating as well. Nate, again great video and looking forward to your future content.
Can't thank you enough for all your encouragement, support, and thoughtful words, Ben! Please do pass on my video link to any friends and/or family who may also find it interesting.
I didn't realize it was a 40-minute video; for me, it was like about 10 minutes long. 😅 Great video and production. I didn't know Siquijor is a secluded island in the Philippines. More videos, por favor! ❤
I've been island hopping in SEA for 45 years (we were in Boracay in 1984 when it was just a handful of bamboo huts) and have been living on the beach in Mexico for the las seven years. My wife and I spent seven weeks island hopping in the PI the last December and January. Ended up in Coco Groove in Siquijor and never left until are scheduled flight force us to leave. Coco Groove is the ultimate tropical island resort.
Exactly what I would expect from a Nate Hovee vlog. Informative, entertaining and mind blowing documentary about the Philippines 🇵🇭 Siquijor Island. Excellent!! 😊.
Hi, Nate! You deserve a million subscribers. No fancy color grading or captions needed, your footages are great, and the narration is clear and precise. I love your work!
Your video just proved that Philippines has a lot to offer and you made me proud of the country more for its beautiful islands and SUQUIJOR is one of the must-go-to destinations. You did an excellent job Nate. More power to you and I’m sure your channel will be famous. 👍
Great vlog Nate, loved it. Better then other foreign vloggers who showcase certain places without thorough research, no substance and just wants the subscribers. Please explore more of the Philippines and create great videos like this. Thank you. 😊
New subscriber here from Washington state and I'm from Cebu city. Thanks for promoting my beautiful country and hope you love it too! Take care and God bless!
Our house help while growing up we’re mostly siquihodnon. And the tales they told about their personal experience about the mystical were really something
Thanks for this great video Nate. I'm glad Siquijor really made an effort to preserve the natural beauty of the island. Good job, they also took the opportunity during the pandemic to renovate some of the infras and restore the damages caused by tourism. Siquijor is back to it's original pristine form and i hope it stays that way for a long time.
Wow, you did a well job about Siquijor. Nice vlog Nate. This is the 3rd vlog of yours I watched, first was a vlog about the abandoned hospital in Clark in a former US base. Thanks for showing this to the world. God bless.
Need to know anything about Siquijor? Nate got you covered. This is the only video you need to watch if youre planning to go to this island. Looking forward for more!
A few years back, people from Luzon, the rest of the Visayas and Minadanao, no one would dare go to Siquijor due to its unwarranted reputation BUT I'm soo glad that the island has found its niche as a bucolic, peaceful islabd. So now, a lot of people want to live therr but I hope the oeople of Siquijor will orevail and protect their environment and heritage!!❤And wow, those caves and underground springs are amazing!!
I remember back when I was a kid they say Siquijor island is a grave site and that evil came from that island now seeing all this vlogs changed my mind like it's not how I imagined it and I live in Mindanao and I can relate cuz I remember being scared of that place that I made an oath never to go there but how can u not obviously it's a mystical paradise
For many, many years, Siquijor Island and its people have been the butt-end of every negative talk and false tales by most everyone all over the country. As people, we have been ridiculed, looked-down upon, scorned and laughed at, for our culture, our ways, our accent and even our names. As humble as we are, instead of fighting back, we learned to roll-with-the-punches. We rode along and took everything as a pun on jokes. At times though, one could only take so much, so to stop all the nonsense, a threat to put a "curse" on one, would always do the trick... sometimes even an apology. Times have changed. People now, know better. Siquijor Island have remained idyllic and pristine. We as 'Siquiodnons" are as proud as ever and there was never a need to prove ourselves. Today, words have spread... "If you want to visit Siquijor Island, bring U.S. Dollars because that is the monetary unit there." And for the curious... is "Barang", "Paktol" and "Kulam" still being practiced in Siquijor Island? Who knows??? www.flickr.com/photos/41070995@N06/albums/72157622124752044
Man, I SO want to live there. It's definitely on my list to see next year when I come to Dumaguete. What a wonderful tour - thanks so much for this! Looking forward to more :-)
only from you this time...i was in dumaguete then but afraid of going there...now its seems like an open book to all..but of course with all its magical secrets...keep safe..thanks
Our Department of Tourism needs someone like you, Nate! Your vlog shows not only the beauty of the island but you also give a historical background of the place. I never thought Siquijor as an interesting destination at all. But because of your vlog, I am enticed to go and pay a visit. And… Im not even fond of traveling at all! Youre doing a wonderful job here, Nate. Thank you.👍👏👏👏👏
Wow Nate welcome back, we missed you! xx Thanks for featuring Siquijor, I will include this on my bucket list when I visit Visayas some time this year.
I'm so impressed how you delightfully delivered your narration of this island. You're so informative in describing the island's history... that anyone who would listen to you will be entice to get a flight to this destination!!! I can't wait to hear for more. You're like a professional journalist/broadcadter or even better! I've passed on your RUclips vlog to friends & relatives bc that's how amazing you are! Thank you! P.S. perhaps you can add prices/cost for the activities/ lodging?
Thank you so much for this thorough and heartwarming comment, Jenny!! I tremendously appreciate the admiration for my work, encouragement, and tremendous support. Yes, I'm considering another video on Siquijor, which would address the cost of living on the island. Stay tuned for more content, and thanks again!
I've watched your Pampanga/Clark videos Nate and have enjoyed them so much, but this Siquijor video is proper top notch stuff that you can see on BBC or Nat Geo. Well done!!
Great job Nate for covering the history of Siquijor! Well done, I will definitely visit this island when I go home one again! The Department of Philippine Tourism should hire you as a speaker of their tourism industry.
I'd love to have you both come for a long visit!! Please let me know, and of course I'll show you two around the island. 😊 I hope all is going very well for you and the family!
Wow.Its worth to watch your wonderful documentary about Siquihor island.Never been there,Thank you for promoting our tourism as well.Stay Safe Sir Nate❤God bless.😊
This is such an in-depth story about Siquijor. You could really see the time and effort exerted in the video, and I highly appreciated it, Nate. What a job well done! Keep it up! and God bless you!
Beautiful nature destination. Good for sharing it to us Nate. Less people and quiet. Most of all a lot of trees which I love the most. I might visit there when I go home this year.
Wow, I really enjoyed watching this video! Awesome Siquijor grand tour, Nate. Siquijor is such a beautiful place in the Philippines, a paradise for nature lover like me who grew up in Baguio City but currently resides in San Diego, CA. Thanks God for blessing Filipinos with so many beautiful places and rich natural resources in the Philippines that makes us unique and feel so blessed/grateful to live in a paradise, a piece of heaven on earth. Excellent job well done in showcasing the beauty of Siquijor,Nate! Thank you and God bless you for inspiring me and others to check out beautiful Siquijor someday.
Thank you Nate.... I typically skipped longer videos .... But your an exception to the rule... I can't resist the great content and cinematography.... The province is great...
Comprehensive and very informative reporting about a tourist destination. Thank you for featuring. Siquijor actually I’m a Pilipino but never visited this island. I appreciate learning more from you.
Your documentaries are amazing! You obviously have done an extensive research and work in presenting Siquihor, this what separates you from others posting in You Tube. You’re awesome!!!!!
Nate makes very good quality videos. The only problem is that they are far and between. It would be great for the viewers (and to him) if he can upload videos more often. To those who plan to stay in Siquijor longer, they might want to learn more about the malls, grocery stores and restaurants available in Siquijor. They might also be interested in rental apartments in Siquijor.
There are no large Department Stores, nor Malls of the big-City types, anywhere around the Island. Except for canopies of tall trees, there are no skyscrapers either. There are no traffic lights, nor flashy neon lights that light up the night life. There are for the most, a few smaller version of a Grocery Store, several Mom-and-Pop stores, and a few smaller franchise operated businesses and Gas stations. There are however many good places to eat but most are run as part of established Resorts or smaller Hotels. One can arrange a stay for longer periods at "Home-Stays", a private house for rent much like AirBnB, anywhere around the Island. Much of the busy businesses are concentrated in the towns of Siquijor, Larena and San Juan. The rest, Lazi, Maria and Talingting are more of a bedroom community. For the past ten years or so, the tourism industry has brought life to the Island but its infra-structure of all kinds are still at its tail end playing catch-up. At the same time, the Islanders are cautious about over-development and instead preserving its eco-system lest it be overrun by the industry's sudden influx of visitors that it can not accommodate. It is after all, a far-flung Island... away from it all.
Thank you Nate for featuring our island. Don't forget to come over for the fiesta in Larena, same as last year with Jedo,Makval and the rest of the gang doing karaoke!😊
i won't be surprised if this video will be used in schools or by the department of tourism office to showcase siquijor. as a cebuana who hasn't been to the island this makes me want siquijor as my next trip destination. thank you nate for this very well thought out video.
Thanks so much! This is encouraging, and I hope the video can indeed be used throughout the country to showcase the beauty, wonder, history, and potential of Siquijor Island. 😊
Wow! I like it! This is one of the most comprehensive travelogue I've watched for Siquijor Island. I wish, we could be featured when the right time come. Congrats Nate!
Wow! Probably the best destination vlog about Siquijor that I've ever watched. The Philippine tourism board couldn't have done a better job. Great work, Nate. And thank you.
Hello Nate! Where have you been? It's been a while. I've been waiting for your new vlog; it has finally arrived! As usual, it is always fun to watch your videos. It feels like I've been there in person. I hope to see more of your vlog soon. Sending my love from the UK! ❤❤
Always in awe of your travel vlogs of the Philippines, my native land. I went to college in Dumaguete but never had an interest in visiting until 3 years ago after living in Florida for 25 years. I wished I had done it sooner. It's not a big island but truly is a gem and lots of natural beauty. I am very impressed of your content, narration and organization of your vlogs. You are such a professional and everything you have outlined in this vlog are very informative. Keep it coming. Thanks for all your preparation and professionalism, Nate! More power to you!
Another fantastic job here Nate! Philippines Department of Tourism is surely very happy & thankful for this again! And Siquijor of course! Best vlog/endorsement of Siquijor I've seen so far!!
Nate, thank you for the very detailed information about Siquijor. You did such a great job explaining about the island. Because of what you did, I will definitely visit the island with my friends next year in 2024. Looking forward to more travels of you around the Philippines. Bart Costa, San Diego, CA.

Thanks!
You're awesome! Thanks again super much, Jessie! 😁
Your coverage is better than some television shows. The DFA should commision you to cover other Philippine Islands. This is informative, educational and entertaining.
I've seen tons of Siquijor vlogs but none of them is comprehensive and detailed compared to this one. Awesome job, Nate. You are simply amazing!
Thank you immensely!! Great to hear.
@Nate Hovee thanks for showing us places in our country we ourselves as Filipinos have never been to and that's a little sad. There's just too many to see and it would take money to do that. New subscriber.
Men! What a paradise!!! I had been watching many vloggers, but no one show that other paradise!!! Men!!! I can live for all my life there!!!
Do it before it’s too late😊Life is short.
Exactly 💯

A million thanks for this, rmelin13231!! Your positive words are heartwarming and greatly appreciated.
Ditto that
@@natehoveeGOD bless you dude. May He keep you safe in JESUSCHRIST name. Amen
The home island of my grandparents! We’ll be there next week for a family reunion. Love Siquijor !
Wonderful to hear!! Please do share with friends and family, and warmest wishes to you all.
Yes my cousin's family live there. Our local guide!😊
Siquijor is trully magical, it has something that cant be explained while you were there.
Nice vlog. I'm from the Philippines but I never thought that Siquijor is a tourist destination too many beautiful places.
Siquijor Island... the best well kept secret anywhere in the Philippines. I was born and raised in the sleepy town of Lazi, albeit lived in the US since many moons ago now.

Kudos to the planter of the man-made forest. Seems he chose native trees to plant.
I love Siquijor stayed there last year 2022 for 3 months and was there too last March for 2 weeks . Candanay Beach is also very nice .

Thanks so much for sharing this positive comment, @doc2log!
For many, many years, Siquijor Island and its people have been the butt-end of every negative talk and false tales by most everyone all over the country. As people, we have been ridiculed, looked-down upon, scorned and laughed at, for our culture, our ways, our accent and even our names. As humble as we are, instead of fighting back, we learned to roll-with-the-punches. We rode along and took everything as a pun on jokes. At times though, one could only take so much, so to stop all the nonsense, a threat to put a "curse" on one, would always do the trick... sometimes even an apology. Times have changed.

Thank you so much for this thorough and heartwarming comment, Jenny!! I tremendously appreciate the admiration for my work, encouragement, and tremendous support. Yes, I'm considering another video on Siquijor, which would address the cost of living on the island. Stay tuned for more content, and thanks again!

Wow, I really enjoyed watching this video! Awesome Siquijor grand tour, Nate. Siquijor is such a beautiful place in the Philippines, a paradise for nature lover like me who grew up in Baguio City but currently resides in San Diego, CA.
Thanks God for blessing Filipinos with so many beautiful places and rich natural resources in the Philippines that makes us unique and feel so blessed/grateful to live in a paradise, a piece of heaven on earth. Excellent job well done in showcasing the beauty of Siquijor,Nate!

I love how informative this vlog is. You're a rare gem for a travel youtube. Kudos!

Thanks so much, and please do share the video on social media when you get the chance. I'm extremely appreciative of your support!
Great content Nate. Get engage more with the locals.
The locals are fantastic! I enjoy meeting many people on the island, especially during the holidays and fiesta periods. 😊
Thanks for this inmersive virtual tour. So much rich heritage and beautiful sceneries. Siquijor will definitely make my bucket list.
Your documentaries are amazing! You obviously have done an extensive research and work in presenting Siquihor, this what separates you from others posting in You Tube. You’re awesome!!!!!
Can't thank you enough!! It's wonderful to receive these encouraging remarks, and I hope you'll continue to tune in for upcoming videos. 😊
❤️for sure….
Nate makes very good quality videos. The only problem is that they are far and between. It would be great for the viewers (and to him) if he can upload videos more often.
To those who plan to stay in Siquijor longer, they might want to learn more about the malls, grocery stores and restaurants available in Siquijor. They might also be interested in rental apartments in Siquijor.
Yes, I hope to upload more videos more often, and I appreciate the support and interest in my content!
There are no large Department Stores, nor Malls of the big-City types, anywhere around the Island. Except for canopies of tall trees, there are no skyscrapers either. There are no traffic lights, nor flashy neon lights that light up the night life. There are for the most, a few smaller version of a Grocery Store, several Mom-and-Pop stores, and a few smaller franchise operated businesses and Gas stations. There are however many good places to eat but most are run as part of established Resorts or smaller Hotels. One can arrange a stay for longer periods at "Home-Stays", a private house for rent much like AirBnB, anywhere around the Island. Much of the busy businesses are concentrated in the towns of Siquijor, Larena and San Juan. The rest, Lazi, Maria and Talingting are more of a bedroom community. For the past ten years or so, the tourism industry has brought life to the Island but its infra-structure of all kinds are still at its tail end playing catch-up. At the same time, the Islanders are cautious about over-development and instead preserving its eco-system lest it be overrun by the industry's sudden influx of visitors that it can not accommodate. It is after all, a far-flung Island... away from it all.
A video presentation par excellence. Nicely put. Mabuhay!
Thank you Nate for featuring our island. Don't forget to come over for the fiesta in Larena, same as last year with Jedo,Makval and the rest of the gang doing karaoke!😊
I'm so looking forward to seeing you all again!! 😁
i won't be surprised if this video will be used in schools or by the department of tourism office to showcase siquijor. as a cebuana who hasn't been to the island this makes me want siquijor as my next trip destination. thank you nate for this very well thought out video.
Thanks so much! This is encouraging, and I hope the video can indeed be used throughout the country to showcase the beauty, wonder, history, and potential of Siquijor Island. 😊
Wow! I like it! This is one of the most comprehensive travelogue I've watched for Siquijor Island. I wish, we could be featured when the right time come. Congrats Nate!
this is the probably the most comprehensive informative video about Siquijor
Thank you so much!!
Wow! Probably the best destination vlog about Siquijor that I've ever watched. The Philippine tourism board couldn't have done a better job. Great work, Nate. And thank you.
What a great compliment!! Massive thanks. 😊
Hello Nate! Where have you been? It's been a while. I've been waiting for your new vlog; it has finally arrived! As usual, it is always fun to watch your videos. It feels like I've been there in person. I hope to see more of your vlog soon. Sending my love from the UK! ❤❤
Tremendous THANK YOU!! 😁
Nate, I love your vlogs, they are very informative, historical, and entertainment. Thank you for taking us around Philippines.
This is wonderful to hear. Thank you immensely! 😀
From what Nate showed us, I love this island already. So refreshing, a great place to recharge!
It really is!
Always in awe of your travel vlogs of the Philippines, my native land. I went to college in Dumaguete but never had an interest in visiting until 3 years ago after living in Florida for 25 years. I wished I had done it sooner. It's not a big island but truly is a gem and lots of natural beauty. I am very impressed of your content, narration and organization of your vlogs. You are such a professional and everything you have outlined in this vlog are very informative. Keep it coming. Thanks for all your preparation and professionalism, Nate! More power to you!
Thank you ever so much, Bob!! I hope you enjoyed my newest video. I'll look forward to seeing you at the next premiere!
Very educational most of all. Love your travel vlog & the best one I've seen in showcasing the hidden gems of this part of the Philippines. Thank you!
Thank you!!
dreamy siquijor, so picturesque , so laidback , feels like time stopped there for hundreds of years!
I feel like watching a documentary on par, if not better than what's commonly aired in commercial productions
Thank you!!
Your vlogs are always professionally done. I feel like I'm watching National Geographic.
Wow, thank you very much! I greatly appreciate your support and encouragement. I hope to see you at the next premiere! 😊
