Your chanel begin to boom in the Philippines. You did not have enough viewers from other Southeast nations. I hope you have a good video in Boracay and Palawan. Do not forget to do the UFO and Paragliding in Boracay as well as sunset cruise.
Wow an adventure! Next stop Sardine run and sea turtles in Moal Boal and if you have time try the Aguinid Falls in Samboan, the reverse climbing the 8 tier falls, visit the Cebu's highest peak The Osmena and Casino peak, check it out
Those whalesharks are not caged or restricted, they can go anywhere they want to feed but they know that during early of the day food will be abundant in that area hence they came. 😊✌️
As I said over and over again, the whale sharks have been visiting in Oslob waters for time immemorial since perhaps before my grandparents were born. Oslob is actually the breeding and spawning ground of krills, the small crustaceans that form the main diet of these whale sharks. Feeding was only started in 2012, a year after videos of local tourists went viral on different social media platforms. But as early as early 1970s during my childhood, I already heard about whale sharks in Oslob as normal sight everyday as they sometimes got entangled in fishermen's nets and sometimes slaughtered the juveniles for their liver which they said really tastes good.
In this sanctuary, they are properly nurtured, safe and looked after. They are free to roam, wander, even leave because they are not confined/restricted. They are loved, respected never harmed or nothing of the sort.
Okay here’s my thought on wether it’s ethical or not for the whale sharks. 1: the sharks are not getting enough food for them to stop migrating to other places to find more food. 2: the people taking care of them now used to hunt them for food. But they realized they can make more money by taking care of the sharks. 3: we don’t know if it’s the same sharks that come everyday to get snacks. 4: as far as I know, marine biologists haven’t tagged any of those whale sharks to find out if they didn’t migrate or not. 5: when it comes to breeding season, no amount of food will keep the sharks in oslob. They will migrate to their breeding grounds wherever that is.
I've said this a few times in other youtubers vlogs. I think the whaleshark diving in Oslob should atleast be regulated as i read an article saying that the whalesharks there have more scars and lesions (from contact with boats and divers) compared to those elsewhere. And i do see it in the videos. The article stated too that the constant feeding at the surface exposes them to more heat which might affect their overall health. But i think not just heat exposure but possible overfeeding also? Not to mention lessening their activity (instead of looking for food) which might not be good too.
The whale shark topic, is all base on people options. At the same time you have to realize it is a tourist attraction, you can't expect all of those people to go out on private boats just to see a Whale Sharks. That's why they set rules like no touching, no sunscreen, no motor boats, etc..
Welcome to Cebu - an island of a thousand adventures...Maybe head back to Cebu City this Sunday (Jan 15) for the grandest Mardigra/Festival in the Philippines - the SINULOG...Enjoy our Island of Cebu and the Philippines!
Coincidentally Sinunog Festival will be on Sunday so head back to Cebu City a treat and for sure you will discover that Filipinos know how to party, street dancing like no other to the next level, out of this world experience, that is why it is more fun in the Philippines, cliche I know but it is true. To see is to believe.
im always amazed by this gentle giants whenever theres a a vlog about i really watch it hoping someday i can swim with whale shark some say that travelling within philippines much costlier compared to their neighboring countries
For an experience that's more eco-friendly you can see whale sharks in the while in Donsol instead of Oslob. A boat will take you out in open waters searching for whale sharks. There's no guarantee that you'll find some, but there's a good chance when you go at the right season.
🇵🇭❤️ It"s so awesome to watch on a big screen TV, like we are actually there. You guys are very good with your cams and drones!🤟👍 Thanks for these beautiful videos!
Hi there, we had been to Tan-Awan in December 2022 and paid only 500 Pesos each for swimming with the whale sharks. Is the price in January still the same or did they increase the price already?
Whaleshark are being hunted close to extinction before in the Philippines. It's good the locals now understand the preservation of whalesharks as well as getting good business from tourists. The choices are do you want the whalesharks to be hunted by fisherman or preserve them which can help tourism business. It's a win-win situation.
Hi! dont leave Cebu coz their is a Sinulog Grand Parade happening in Cebu City. A greatest crowd ever happening in this country every 3rd sunday of January.
We do sometimes overreacted in some sort of cases without weigheing the whole situation. What now are those wild animals in Zoos should not be feed because you gonna interrupt there way of life? The Whale Shark in Oslob are roaming free in the wide Ocean and not held in captivity and they are being feed not with other kinds Food.
I think that whale shark really go to that place eversince sometimes they leave the place go somewhere else but return they just put so much controversies
Its better to feed the whale shark for money rather than the fisherman catch the whale shark slaughtered and sell to markets for its meat.... U guys are awesome...
Until 1992, whale sharks were being hunted in the Philippines for their fins. Just for their fins to make into shark's fin soup. Would you prefer the fishermen there revert to the old ways?
Absolutely not, we just wanted to point out our views on it, we don’t think it’s a bad thing but we just wanted to point out that there’s pros and cons ❤️
You could hv hunted sharks right. It is a big difference hunting sharks and whale sharks. Tourists have a choice whether they will support local tourism which deals with wildlife.
Is building lodges around watering holes in Africa, so tourists can watch wildlife while sipping cocktails, more ethical? Are the safari parks in USA and UK more ethical? Or housing the whale sharks in giant aquariums like in Japan, Taiwan, and USA more ethical?
Those whale sharks are not caged and free to swim whenever and wherever. Just like any living animals (or human), you go where the food is. The country has laws protecting them and activities associated with whale sharks are closely monitored by BFAR - the government agency responsible in protecting and preserving our fisheries and aquatic resources. I'd rather see them in our waters than them migrating to our bully neighbor's waters and end up in a pricey bowl of soup or dumplings. (Just kidding) We respect your opinion, though. 😃
Be careful your bad comments, subscribers do not like that. You must not comment not good on the camera. If you do not enjoy, you better not post your dislikes.
I respectfully disagree. I think it's fine to post constructive criticism as long as you're respectful, balanced and fair, which I think they were. It's helpful to the country as well. And those who are overly-sensitive can leave if they'd like. It's the freedom we have.
I was about to comment before seeing this, that I only have respect for Jacob and Cloe for expressing reservation about the ethics of feeding whale sharks which they balanced anyway from the point of view of how tourism helps local communities in return. It only shows how responsible they are as humans, more than thinking about being tourists, or as vloggers who need to tow the line of what’s popular to say, or not.
@@jacobmcguire1 having said that, the natural whaleshark watching in the open seas is in Donsol, province of Sorsogon (in the southern most tip in the island of Luzon). Other tourism draw in the area is Mayon Volcano which with its near perfect cone is an attraction to itself. And, as you said, it helps to do some research before going as to when is the best time to go there (which is January-April or May).
Cool.. Lovely experience with our Whaleshark. Hope to see you again. :)
dont cry baby ..welcome to ypu ..only in the phillipines beach and falls its great destination in the world...😍😍😍

Feeding the whale shark is better than killing them for food for the locals.
100% ❤

Tama ka jan bro. Thats the best option for survival

Jacob and Chole did not understand and they just want what they want with their adventure.

It’s so magical on big screen

Vid duration does not matter
Take your time, enjoy and keep safe
The friendly nature of the world's most amazing wild animals was incredible and very cool in your video.
Coincidentally Sinunog Festival will be on Sunday so head back to Cebu City a treat and for sure you will discover that Filipinos know how to party, street dancing like no other to the next level, out of this world experience, that is why it is more fun in the Philippines, cliche I know but it is true.

I saw in a Thailand vlog too (tonyoi koh tao). They are migratory. Even in tenggol island Malaysia.

Wow super nice there amazing 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰very beautiful places in Philippines ♥️
Anyway Is There A Hotel In Oslob, Cebu Phillipenes?
WOW!
💖
Do you need reservation for whale shark swim?
We do sometimes overreacted in some sort of cases without weigheing the whole situation. What now are those wild animals in Zoos should not be feed because you gonna interrupt there way of life?

Whale sharks in Oslob is free not caged or constricted in one place. They CN come and go. The one thing should be done is the tourist who comes close.
It was impossible to keep out there way unfortunately 😓
Better to feed them than butcher them for survival and their population has even thrived rather than waned for that matter.
rent a motorbike while in Cebu for 400-500 peso
agree with you guys ..those sharks supposed to be in the wild ..
The music r too loud and the dialogue too soft.
Will prefer without the loud music
Had to adjust volume up n down while watching the video
hypocites , unsubscribing!!!
Me too!
