During the covid pandemic (2 1/2 years) I was in a province in the Philippines. While there we built over 25 C.R's (toilets) and built and repaired many homes and distributed food and other essential items thanks to this youtube channel and the subscribers.

Raymund is always concern of your safety saying multiple times: careful. I grew up with 3 brothers, everytime they went out to play, I always shouted out to be careful, and that they would all come home unhurt and okay, otherwise our father would be mad at us 5 kids.

One of the best trait of every filipinos is that they still willing to help you without asking in return..keep safe dude

Yes.I'm so glad you are enjoying your stay in Toledo, Cebu in spite of this pandemic. You've been there since the lockdown started and you have not left. I wish they would grant you an honorary citizenship so you do not have to renew your visa when it' expires. The people in that small community are very lucky to have you around. You make your fellow Americans proud. God bless you always.

I happy that some foreigners still know how to get along with my fellow country men. Keep it up guys and i hope you get home safe.

I missed “nilupak”,that’s what we called it you’re so lucky that you are in the Philippines enjoying our culture, far from the city live a simple life and contented with the simple people sorrounds you, take care and God bless!🙏🏼

Most in visayas we called it linuyang or linusak,the wooden rod is alho and the stone is lusong that's more tasty especilly your sweating while smashing it and mix with banana 😅😋. Then if you crushing it more very sticky the losung will come together with alho whe you pull it up really i miss my life in Cebu watching from UAE.

Dustin, this is really such a great video. I had a house in the Visayas, and tried Tuba. It is really good, especially when fresh! Tuba is nothing more than the fermentation of the sap taken from coconut tree or other types of palm trees. In the Philippines, the Tuba which is consumed is mainly from the sap of coconut palm and that’s why they call it coconut wine. It is just so cool how it is naturally fermented in the plant from the sun. Anyway... You can google it.. lots of info on it. Sometimes it is orange in color. Hey, I live in Luzon. San Juan, La Union. if you are ever up in Luzon, feel free to drop by! After covid 19 that is. I'll take you out for a surf. I have an extra board! Keep up the great videos... You show the TRUE Philippine spirit in your videos. You capture the natural beauty of the land and people. This country is more than just El Nido and Boracay! Its so refreshing to see the real Philippine culture being captured. I do a bit of gardening here.. and i put up some videos.. I just do it for fun. chek them out if you have load and time! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mrV3isWfype8kas.html Mabuhay! Mark in San Juan!

Niluyang plus tuba plus laughter ..... what a great life you have during this quarantine days... you're so lucky... take care always.... have more fun

watching from USA where we're locked in the four corners of our humble home. You are lucky you are in the best place. Here, virus is spreading. Grocery is limited...

Raymond sure is handy with that knife 🔪 and other tools . Sounds good , amazing what you can learn living off the land . Glad to see your all doing well ❤️😊

We call the coconut husker ‘kabayo’ or horse...i miss that from my childhood in Cebu. My parents had one, and our maids would ride on it to create coconut milk from scratch.

I've watched over 2 dozen of your vlogs the past few days and i've kind of enjoyed it...maybe just a bit tired watching vlogs full of brolls and cinematics...this style suits my taste during these times...keep posting Dustin you're doing great

WOW! Reminds me of Vietnam. We live just like this. Even the coconut stuff we use for fuel too... Thank you.

Filipino humor at its best

a lot to learn in province life specialy when Raymond shows his talents and skills😎

It's rare for me to never skip an ad. I hope it helps.

I've been eating that at home before. ..life is so simple and beautiful in province. And we call this nilosak.

i think you are one of many foreigners who went beyond miles to experience a typical provincial life in the Philippines. an immersion. more power to your channel. stay safe.

Its nice to live in province than in city... More fun and adventure that u will never forget...

A simple province rich life. Doesn’t make since but that what ive missed the most. Bring me back to Philippines.

Off the grid living is much better than living inside the 4 corners of a house all day everyday thats for sure.

You are in the best place right now in "quarantine" period. Province life with Filipinos.

Yummy Luyang! Love love Luyang. Mashed cooked unripe banana with grated coconut and brown sugar. Lami kaayo na dong

Hi Dustin...your humble and kind..I really appreciated how treat my kabayans over there in Philippines 🇵🇭.Hope many people follow your steps...Stay Safe and GOD BLESS...Watching from UAE 🇦🇪👍

I really miss my hometown.my province life where I used to live. Green and natural scenery, fresh air that I am always wanted, wishing to go back soon to my homeland🇵🇭.😭your video that remind me how simple my life was. The life of contentment and simpleness walang arte arte than to live in the modern luxurious city

Dustin, You are lucky to be guarantined @ Raymond’s and see how the locals make tuba, linuya, climb coconut trees and their lifestyle & show it to us. I was a city girl in Cebu City and never knew how locals make tuba & linuya. Thanks! Be safe!

Dustin is so cool trying everything the locals eat. Just be careful you don't want to have upset stomach.

We will miss Raymond and that simple place when time comes that you need to leave.😩

Your lucky that you ecperience the province life, it is more happy than in the city. People living in the province are more survivor than people in the city, dependent on technology.

Yes we did, my grandmother always made that when we are still kids, miss that stuff but I cant trust anyone how the made 😥😥 miss that stuff, hopefully maybe a year or 2 i can go back to province.

In my province surigao it called a nilupak....thats favorite of all Filipino...from Toronto Canada

I love the way how you get along w/ my countrymen, a good sport !

Raymond is Definitely ur Brother from another Mother!

You'll learn a lot about life, literally working for food, and resourcefulness in most ppl from the provinces...

Province life is simple and happy. Enjoy your stay Dustin and learn how poor people survive. You are amazing guy.

Provincial life is the best. Everything you need is around you. Nice video. Simple yet great quality content. Thanks again for sharing.

Wow nkkamiz mamuhay s probinsya!taga Western Samar ako!Ang tawag s amin ay NILUPAK💗💗💗😋😋😋

You will never go hungry in any province while in the Philippines. You can always find something for survival. It's truly more fun in the Philippines. Have a blessed wonderful day!

That milky white drink you had is not yet called 'tuba' because it has not fermented yet. It's fresh coconut juice from coconut flower buds that's why it tastes very sweet. The liquid contained inside the coconut fruit (which most vendors falsely called coconut juice) is actually called coconut water. The juice starts to ferment only after about 2-3 hours and the taste changes from sweet to something you haven't tried before and it becomes 'tuba' or toddy. Most toddy gatherers add a ground bark of a mangrove species locally called 'tungog' to add color (a range of hues between bright mustard yellow to orange red) to the drink to make it more visually appealing to consumers.

I am one of your thousands of subscribers now..from LA..

Love the place, love the people, love them all. Fantastic life and vlog. Raymond i am your fan na, so funny. Mr. Dustin thabk u so much you open every people how to survive in a simple ways. God bless you all

I miss that in Samar we call it Linupak .... I haven’t eat that kind of food for a long time I remember my childhood we always eat linupak try it with cassava it’s good too ....glad u enjoying province life D stay safe guys 👌👍👍👍👍

Ur a lucky guy bro. The filipinos in the rural are the jolliest and most generous The fresh air, tuba and the simple life

If I remember right, the last time I had linuyang could've been more than 45 or 50 years ago. looks yummy. will try it whenever I get a chance to visit cebu. thank you for sharing.

I cracked up when raymund start portioning the linupak. 😂😂 Kinda reminds me of some of childhood friends bullying when share a food together. Lol when i see u and raymund chilling with tuba after eatinh linupak/linuyang. You have the best place for quarantine. Damn!

New subscribers here your lucky to stuck in the province which is Zero infected and you've got good friends and nice family who adopted u there...

So simple..real Filipino way of living..

We called that here in Batangas"nilupak"sometimes we add sprite and margarine.And the one that u drinking is "tuba"..😀

I had it in Jalajala Rizal in 1946 as an 8 year old. I still remember how delicious it was.

Wow that word linuyang! New subscriber sir an OFW from Riyadh Saudi Arabia. Great film

Wow that's a new one to me. I must try. We normally grate banana/oats and make porridge. Boil and have with adobo. Simpling pumamuhay guys🤘 Boil banana skin and water is good for the pigs.

Thank You. It would not hurt to put a similar message at the end.. Whatever you can afford is greatly appreciated. The more you build your channel the more people you can help.

we call it linubak in our provice. you can put cheese or margarine on top to make it even tastier.

Happy to see you enjoying simple things in life Mr. Dustin. Things that money cant buy and moments you will cherish in life. When you get older you will smile remembering or watching these videos while drinking your hot coffee. More vlogs sir. Keep safe and God bless you

Namiss nko ni niluyang, nilupak etc... Kakamiss hayssss buhay probinsya

Ohhh, I miss that kind of Food. I think, the last time I ate Linuyang was since more than 40 years ago. Linuyang is common in the province as you need a big wooden mortar and a pestle to prepare it. Some use a rock mortar.

Watching these videos reminds me so much of my childhood days in Bohol, Philippines. I wish I was home, not stuck abroad. Looking forward to more videos.

Province is fantastic everything is natural and fresh organic air. I loved province.thanks for your nice video. God bless 🇵🇭👍🌸🌱🦋

Im here because of GMA NEWS 🥰 GODBLESS

Oh my God! I miss the sound in the background, the sound of radio when I visit my family in the province, here in the city mostly of people don't have radio because there's Television.

Made me miss my province "ILOCOS SUR..." Its really more fun in the province,..

The last part was so funny!!!! Lol from here..in the rural things can be very hard at times but if you have friends like that every moment is worth keeping..i didnt skip the ads..keep safe..

Lamia ana LINUYANG NA sagimg kahit walang bigas solve ang na pantawid as gutom masarap !

In our place we called it "nilupak" and you can also make use of "cassava" instead of banana, and put some margarine to add flavor.

Ahh the legendary coconut grater.

Different provinces, different names and ingridients. Its also done with cassava, ripe bananas, butong(young coconut instead of the old Raymond used), peanuts, butter or margarine, & jackfruit. My best combo is manibalan banana(just starting to ripen), lukadon coconut(not so young but not so old), crushed peanuts, brown sugar and some margarine. Cheers!

in provinces, you may not get everything you want but if you take good care of the nature, it will provide you everything you need.

That's awesome! In my province eastern samar we call that binayo na saging masarap po yan😃 i miss that. Enjoy your stay in phils!

use the ripe banana taste sweeter,,,you can do like that also with the bread fruit and or cassava root,,,the same procedure and sugar....

We call it linubak in our province. rich in potassium. I sometimes added milk and peanut, milk and choko, I whipped cream or butter on top of the finished product. I mold it and it looked like a cake or sometimes it looked like a pie.

In Ilongo we call it Lenupak na sagiing you can also mix with corn langka masarap!

that food we called that "Linuyang or Linupak"new subs here from Riyadh🙂that thing that u drink we called that coconut wine 😁😁😁😁or Tuba

😂 your videos are more entertaining now that your with Raymond and his family....👏

Yummy cooked banana with coconut and love to watch your old videos with Raymund and Richard

That is called linopak in palawan. We used to make and eat that a lot. And that coconut flower sap is sweet when just fluck out the tree but leave it one day it ferment fast. Two day its strong.

Thats my favorite. Sagging nilung ag. Im a bisaya too.

People are welcoming there😊👍 ...way to go to “20k subscribers “

I am watching you from Boston, Massachusetts. Enjoy your stay in the Philippines. You will learn a lot about Filipino life and the way we live.

Hi Dustin! You and that guy with a red shirt have very natural good vibes, So infectious that I keep laughing of your simple subject matter where money can't buy.Thanks.

Hi .we used to do the same thing when we are still in the province..thats called nilupak..reminiscing the past ...nice job raymund and dustin..keep safe guys

Hey Dustin can I get a heart on this comment? I'm feeling really sad right now, and a heart might help me feel a bit better, cuz I have no interaction with people right now, nobody likes me, and this quarantine made it really worse, and a heart would really make me feel I have friends and might lift my mood up.

I miss that linuyang..that's part of my childhood ❤❤❤

Dustin is living life in UMArica 😂😂😂 learning a lot about life in the province yeahhhh👏👏👏👏 Awwwww so yummy 😋 😋 😋 😋 make me Drool 🤤 🤤 🤤 🤤 I Love that food... We call it LINUPAK in Iloilo... I have to make when I go back home... Yayyyyyy

I love banana and coconut together that looks good! Happy safe travels always!❤ Hello from Californina

Darn it. Dustin, if you were one of those bigshot KZfaqrs, I wouldn't hesitate to skip ads. But I guess I have to do my share of helping you.

Way to go, Dustin! That’s provincial village life in the Philippines. Have fun!

Wow Sarap naman po yan gawing Banana chips.New here in your house I'm always watching your videos good luck and God bless 😍

Making niluyag is good. I love to travel the whole Philippines.

Natural drink - tubâ - (coconut water fermented) Stay safe

Nice to see that you have no qualms living in a very basic existence. Raymund’s family am sure is very happy to have adopted you.. This is one of the kind of vlogs that is uplifting to the spirit. All good vibes. Thank you.

That " NILUPAK " was very famous during my high school years. Butter or margarine on top is the only add on needed. That variety of banana is actually called PLANTINE.

We called this food in Ilocano ‘linubian” or in tagalog “linupak”

Wow I remembered those things we always does that lusak saging yes you smash the skin banana to clean I love this vlog I miss my country Philippines watching from USA take care Dustin I’m glad your stomach is okay to eat anything god bless you all 👍👍👍

Simple but very satisfying, i know it taste perfect.

Very nice country side!! We have that in our province in Panay. We use halo " wooden tools to mix the food" The best is fresh rice pound inside the halo and pound it till it got soft. They put shreded coconut also and sugar and it's sure has very appealing taste..

I would absolutely love to be disconnected from the grid like you are there.

Tomorrow o will go to Valero's bakery in Union City California to buy some of that we call it linupak😂😂

Ganda naman lahat ay fresh,makukuha lang sa paligid ang pagkain..masipag ka lang magtanim

A new sub here....I enjoy the other side of Quarantine-much better than just inside the 🏠. Enjoy provincial life and stay safe♥️🌸🌿
