Good morning everyone! Hopefully my materials will arrive soon and I can get going on this project! It might be a week until the next one as I have a few important things to sort out in Davao City first! See you on the other side and as always, thanks so much for the support!

The drone shots were top-notch, and again, enjoyed the music. Congrats on becoming a professional film-maker, you do have the genuine talent for it. You are playing it smart with the fish pond and not repeating stuff that affected you negatively. It is nice hearing you managing your mental health and taking things "chilled". Good luck with your fish research. :)

Welcome back Anselm. I like ur new title "Self Employed"... film maker, documentary/vlogger n d like 👍. I'm also glad u decided to revive ur fish ponds not 4 commercial scale but start small experiment with d best species suitable 4 ur ponds. Less stressful... one's psychological/mental wellness is key 4 survival n longevity. Cheers KD!...

Your fishpond nipa hut is looking better again. Actually there’s a song called ‘Barcelona’ sung by Freddie Mercury of the band Queen. Do what makes you happy Kumande D, that is the most important in life and good for our soul and health. Nice video from the vlogger Kumander Daot. 😊

Showing new places/barrio/towns is another thing I like about your vlog. I already miss your good friend David, the funny but serious guy especially in helping the T'boli tribe.

The vlog is absolutely well made. Looks like its becoming your bread and butter. Keep it up Kumander. More Power!

Just stay positive kumander!! There’s always a rainbow after every storm! Keep on!👌💪🤙

Looking forward to seeing the fish ponds come to life again!

Haha. You scared Madman. 😆 Congratulations on your new title. And 111K Subscribers. Good vibes.Beautiful drone footage. Nice road trip. Cool quad ride. Keep positive. What will be, will be. I spent too many years worrying. And it doesn't change the outcome. Be positive and keep happy. And all will be good. 😃 So glad you got yourself outside. Being around others is definitely great for your health. And everyone is so lovely. Great tunes. Great video. Thank you for sharing. Look after yourself. Have a great weekend. You Nhel and your fur babies. Take care.

KD 's knowledge of the different localities of mindanao is really outstanding,given that he is a foreigner 😁.

It’s awesome you’re finding other ways to utilize the ponds. Such a beautiful spot!

From mountains to the seas…all great contents! We’ve been to Hinatuan once before; it’s a magical place. More power KD.

Show us more of your interactions with the locals, it’s endearing. It makes my day brighter😊

Anselm I’m loving your blogs, you have a natural talent and the voice for media. Sending love from Perth Australia, hope you’ll make your fish pond an educational place that hopefully I can visit one day. Your place looks so peaceful and I love your Bahay kubo .

Glad to hear your plans for the fish pond! I was fascinated by the fishing village in Hinatuan and especially the Sibadan Fish Cage & Resort. What a terrific concept out in the middle of the water. Looks quite spectacular from the drone view. I'm in agreement with you that it's much better than an aquarium - all natural. I'm surprised, though, you didn't by one of those fish and "try one" later on the B-B-Q. 😜😂 I think the wonder of the ancestral homes is that they give us an insight to what the area looked like years ago - perhaps during the Spanish colonial era. Beautiful architecture and quite historic! I'm a sucker for history and especially when it's so accessible. The feeling is as if we have been transported back in time! Aloha at Mabuhay! 🤙

I love your plan about the fishpond, KD. You can do it!!!Another great vlog, always worth the wait!!!👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

If you decide to continue fish farming, it's a must to have an aeration system. This will significantly reduce your mortality rate . I wish you luck

If I could only see you or meet you in person, i will give u a Big Tap on your shoulder. U r doing a great job, Kumander.

You keep me coming back. No matter what word people use for you, you do you and we'll keep watching.

you are like eric von daniken with robin wiilliams humor and your best friend is like a young ron howard,,,,,,,keep going

KD your fishpond location is perfect for fish farming, eco tourism, I hope they leave the environment as it is. Structures that blend and harmonises to its environment only. May I suggest, take note or not, go for culturing and propagating. Search for tilapia and bangus that lay eggs. Build a hatchery pond. Should be smaller. After hatching mothers are transferred. Because they eat their young. Cannibalism occurs. Avoid using feeds, it is expensive, prevents and kills algae from growing, which serves as their food and shelter during hot season. Too much of it will kill them too. It diminishes oxygen. Fish is as big and as fat as with feeds. Besides it is organic. Consumers today are organic eaters. Process is long but sustainable. For more details and correct ponds compartments size proportions, and more knowledge, Bureau of Fisheries and Acquatic Resources (BFAR) will provide information. I could write pages for you. 😁 BTW I am a graduate in Bachelor of Science in Fisheries. Major in inland fish culture. Good luck with your fishpond adventure.

hello KD, nice to know that you are not affected at all by some delay as you call it "chilled"....yes I agree with John Smith your drone shots is awesome.....grabe astig ba KD....keep it coming ...and God bless.

LOVE THIS VLOG EPISODE SO MUCH. Teeming with raw, real and rich positivity from you, and from the communities you interact with. Thank you for showing us all a glimpse inside this area of our beloved country. So inspiring. And of course, I am most happy that you are finally going to get the right kind of WORK, done by the right set of people with the right set of skills for your fishpond. PUSH Kumander! PUSH lang ng PUSH!

My wife is from Managoy (Bislig City) we go there all the time. Going to Pier Uno where the paper mill was. All abandend buildings now. Enjoy UR vlog . Keep up the great work, Sir! also Marjiboc island great beaches ! Home of my sister-in-law & beautiful nieces.

Glad to hear you're doing something with your fishpond. Whatever it is, you can do it!

Thanks for showing us Tboli in Mindanao you're the first vlogger who showed about them I'm being informed how they live for me it's educational coz I lived and raised in Manila I only read about them nice🤗

Looks like a retaining wall filled in with sand and rocks.. Is what you need.. Dike barrier.. Could build a dock like walkway over wall barrier elevated on poles to walk above the retaining wall.. Cement in foundation posts and tied into each other for support.. That would keep your house land retained and not wash away. Docking posts for boat dock tied into one another or not.. Would keep a walking area level and strong . don't short cut it 😂✌

Kumander you’ve improved a lot when it comes to your mental state of mind. Sometimes it just takes some detour of plans and visit it in the future when it’s the right time for you. My congratulations to your new passion! I love how you interact with the people around you! Stay safe always!

One of the very best videos on the internet. Keep up the excellent work. God bless.

Kumander, stick with what you are doing..passion and being busy kept you from whatever demon lurks around us..Everyone in the community who loves and tries to assist you with open hearts and minds means most than any riches on earth. Your advantage also is your quick knowledge of the dialect and that gives extra footings with the locals which you helps a lot by being their customer, and extra monies for the help that they extended. Here in the USA, we're having medical and political disagreement that turns into pure chaos. I actually envy you. Stay safe my brother, be healthy and peace to you.

I wish you the ability to love yourself. You are a beautiful soul, with so much value. Realize your worth, appreciate the goodness you project & the confidence will grow. Smile on!

Being a foreigner in the Philippines you know we will always be looked after by the local people wherever you go.

Great footage! Is very meditative and reminiscent of my childhood growing up in southern Mindanao. My father tried raising tilapia in brackish water by the coast in the 50’s which was a failure. Transferred the fish to a spring fed pond in the mountains, and I remember the best tilapia I’ve ever eaten. None of ones we buy in US can compare. Thank for sharing. You goodness radiates through the film!

I love that you say you are a socially anxious extrovert! I get that. I am socially anxious, but want to be an extrovert. Well done KD at pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone! You are doing an awesome job!🥰🥰🥰

Have fun on your new plans to revive your fishpond. Maybe someday I can bring my grandkids to check on what fish species you may have. Peace and God bless.

nice to see hinatuan again although been only there on the usual tourist trail like enchanted river and sibadan cage. Its nice to see the community around it.

Yah, the posts are like that of Roman castles. Nice to see you again in Cateel.

Another amazing vlogg kumander, what a beautiful place to live , your vlogg is so interesting love from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 xxxxx

Good stuff Kumander Wally...everything so much more interesting when U get away from the soap opera of Cateel and the lazy lizards 🦎 to show other places. Good town Hinatuan , good memories.Go back and show more in the future ...well done 👍🦘🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

It would be nice to bring David from tboli to Cateel just show him around. That would be nice.

I'm including my Prayers for your Good Harvest.

You made my day by visiting to my hometown..Never seen it for 13 years..stay safe KDaot..

Kumander, I strongly recommend that you plant Vetiver grass along your fishpond walls. This will stop soil erosion forever! Pls. Pls. Pls try!,,

Loved your day adventure! Beautiful drone shots! So glad you have a plan for the pond and making documentary vlog type videos! Wishing you the best!

Awesome project and marvelouus vlog as always how can they ever call this man Daot? Perpekto unta! Kumander Perpek!✌️✌️✌️

one way to prevent dike damage plant kakawate trees or use branches of madre de cacao trees around on your pond dikes

People are so warm and friendly. KD you are a legend traveling in Mindanao Island. I really love watching your vlogs. There are lots of beautiful places in Mindanao and you can meet wonderful people along the way.

Wow, This vlog is so amazing. Wonderful to see the philippines that way. You are very talented to capture images! Keep up the great work. I look foward to continue to follow you on this new journey! I found it very interesting to see this content from Canada. You are living a very interesting life in the Philippines. Please continue to make us dream (and see also the real life struggle). I am a therapist and your story really touches me. I am amazed by your strenght and emotionnal awareness. Thanks you for being so open and contributing to prevention and mental health awareness!

You don't need to buy fingerlings of bangus or tilapia if you don't want to go commercial Kumander. Just make use of the "panaka"(fingerlings that comes in to your pond every time the high tide water comes in). Before you do that, you need to clean up the pond. Prepare it like you have to dry up the water first and when it's cleaned up, try dumping dry chicken manure inside the pond. Let it stay there for a week before you let the water come in from the irrigation canal. When "lablab" (algae) starts to develop inside the pond, wait until it gets thicker and abundant inside the pond because that would serve as the food of the fish. After that you could start letting the water from high tide come in when you want to change the old water in the pond every now and then. I hope this helps you with your plan.

Nice one bro! This journey to restoring the fish pond is awesome! You meet new people, learn new things and go to other places you've never been before! Your subscribers love you for what you do, bro! And I tell you, we all get inspired of your journey. Thank you, Kumander! More power to your vlog! ❤️💪👍🙏👌

I like your interactions with the locals in Bisaya, when you are trying to adjust to them in order to be understood well. The locals will appreciate you better as they don’t get intimidated of having to communicate with a foreigner. Actually, you’re not a foreigner anymore. You’ve been in Mindanao and a resident of Davao for 5 years already. Keep up the good trait Kumander. This vlogging hobby has made positive results in your life. Keep it up and stay safe and healthy

Have a nice day kumander D. Just stay positive. It will be fine 🤙🤙🤙🇺🇸

Looking forward to see your fish pond again untill its harvest time best to you K.

Don't stress yourself..One day at a time, I love your vlogs and that you speak the language. See you soon Amping

So far, the best content from all other vloggers been following..informative, real good shots and music choices. Keep it up, kumander..💪💪

Just be patient for life's ups and downs. Think Positive. God bless!!

just an advice k-daot improve your fishpond by installing pipes water outlet with wire mesh in order to have a maximum water livel incase of raising flood water of the pond during rainy seasons and to prevent the distruction of the dikes. good day and more power bro.

We use the same Weir method here in Nova Scotia to catch fish. Love this style of vlog.

thru vlogging, you're healing ❤️‍🩹

nice decision on fishpond as research center. the twigs and branches of flacatta are used by wood charcoal too by locals for little livelihood. sibadan fishcage astonishing. you are speaking the best language "kumusta" salamat kaayo" the best. you should have taken Delmar's real name and send money (via MHLuillier) for transportation to Cateel when the time comes the material are ready and no need to go back, it's comfortable?. but anyway, you have the point.

You make me excited and sad at the same time, visiting my birthplace and home city Bislig. I have not been there for years now. Shout out to all taga Mangagoy! Well done Kumander Daot!

Kumander your vlogging is almost like National Geographic including the narration. You adjusted so quickly in vlogging for such a short period of time. Way to go Daot!

Nothing worthwhile is ever easy. God bless and stay safe.

Wow, I salute to you not scared to visit any place in Mindanao.

I'm surprised! I didn't know much Hinatuan. I didn't know about the small community there.

i love all the drone shots u showed here!!! amazing!

Hang in there Commander.

Beautiful, beautiful landscape around your fishpond.

grabe pwerteng nindota sa imo mga drone shots Kumander!..Hawod na kaayo ka mag vlog ba..keep it up..keep spreading positive vibes and more local community interactions..love all your travels..keep safe Kumander and God bless you always..

Going on a drive all alone is good therapy. 👍

See what happens when you make your videos so good you get to be a professional film maker congrats. I always enjoy you videos as you do such a good job with the narration and getting the history of places you go. You have come a long way in a short time of vlogging. The people there must really love their fish ponds as a lot of them were in the shape of a heart. Not sure if they were meant to be like that but it looked cool to see so many hearts in the water. I can't wait till I can get back there and be near the ocean. Keep up the good work and stay safe. Remember it is 5thirsty somewhere haha.

I Love You KD♥️ keep safe....keep Vlogging. You ang Kulas is part of my everyday routine.💪🏻

Aloha Kumander D from Maui. I gotta say it is very good of you to hire locals to do the job. Goon you and God Bless.

Hi Commander D! Try to preserve your land/ fish pond from erosion. Research on VETIVER grass and help promote the use of it!!!

Oh oh, No song about Barcelona? What about Barcelona by Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballé. Great to see you well and getting on KD

you have to research the kind fish would grow fast and sell quick, cost of the fish should be affordable. Fish is affordable for local people, because meat are expensive. It takes time to do research. Good luck.

Hi Anselm! What amazing blogger you are and the drone shot are perfect, you are a good human being thanks for showing us those beautiful places in Philippines 🇵🇭🇨🇦

maayuha na gyud nimo mubisaya KUmander uy ! bilib ko,wala pa gyuy accent. don't be shy about speaking bisaya because you are really good. that enchanted river ,i'M NOT SURE if thats the same river this british vlogger ' Eight miles from home " showed. It is indeed enchanted ,so beautiful and the water ceil blue and it is really clear .

You know in 2013 when You-lander hit us the biggest Typhoon 15th November 2013 to hit the Philippines 350k winds full on in Nailon it was like that our place all the trees were stripped all the houses in our town were damages even ours but we had just finished our house our side and in side no windows only our roof was damaged a little the whole house flooded all the way through but all was good we have solar in our house now but back then no power for 3 weeks we arrived and the power was back on we came from Australia Lets hope they do a good job this time fixing your pond and area !!!

Good day everyone!

Whatever you do, just stay safe & have fun!

backwards walking dogs at the pond house very nice

Congratulation for getting your certificate,and now you deserve proper recognition as film maker.Hope your influence enhances the image of Mindanao( real and raw and safe).

Happy to see enjoying the sights, spending days with simple folks in the community. From Nanay May of Antipolo City.

That music from Hinatuan until the ending gave it a good vibe Kumander. Nice!

We'll for your brand new fish pond kumander....

Thank you for the new video. I like that you visited different small towns. It is always nice to visit because they're the most welcoming people. Wish you the best and stay positive. You can do it 💪.

You should establish an eatery/restau bar at your pond where guests can catch the fish they want cooked and served for them. Hire johndee as the Chef.

super loved the drone shots! superb! 👏👏

Good job. Always enjoy watching your blog since the first day you have met Kulas. God bless Kumander Daot

good idea with your fish pond for research or education, try rice farming there KD just rent a land for 1 hectare

Hello kumander Daot hope everyone safe.nice to see the fish pond again beutifull place

Good luck Commander Daot watching fr Bunbury Western Australia Murray n Eva

Love it fantastic sir kumander so injoy waching your channel I love the Filipino people one day I will visit beautiful place keep up the fantastic job you thankyou oooooo mmmm

you are absolutely right do not go commercial on your fishpond operations , it will not make money since you have a small population in your area..do not get carried by suggestions that it will make money , they could have a vested interest in your money or investment..just be a top notch blogger !

Wow Kumander Daot, you really went to my husband’s hometown. So surprising Kumander went to Barcelona as his side trip, hahahahah… the last video clip was almost my parents in law’s house… so cool. Hope you’ll go there again and try swimming in the famous beach and go island hoping like Maraay then to the waterfalls and then also go Tagpoporan… hahahah.. thank you for visiting such a friendly barangay Barcelona👍 Keep safe always and God bless all your plans.🙏🏻

Nice kumander 😊👍👍awesome drone shots!

Nice for being registered.. BIR will be happy now

Cheers from Barcelona (Spain)! 😁😁😁

Kumander, slowly but surely lang...Keep it up..God bless!
