I'm Indonesian, I did this journey last April 2022 from Tagum city to Manila, I landed in Davao but I stayed a week in my friend's house. After I did the south belt journey just before Pandemic from Davao to Cotabato, I made a promise to myself to complete the journey from Davao to Manila and I made it. Other time, I will do North Luzon trip. I met so many new friends along the way. What a friendly country. One of the biggest surprise is the Phiippines has one of the best inter province and inter island road in South East Asia. The road is so wide.

Gretchen is a very smart, beautiful and down-to-earth person. Kudos to her and I wish her more success in her career.

Nakikita ko si GH sa tv pero i never thought 1 may vlog pala xa 2 magaling xa mag vlog 3 kind pala sya talaga. Nutural ang pagiging mabait nya 4 wala kyeme. Cowboy ba 5 sya pala producer 6 keep it up ms Ho good job more power to you continue your good deeds! Likewise to your team! I enjoyed this vlog parang kasama ako sa byahe. New subscriber mo na ako Gretchen.

Kung hindi ko pa napanood ito hindi ko malalaman na possible na pala yung Luzon to Mindanao travel via land😍 As a person who loves travelling, HINDI AKO PAPAYAG NA HINDI MASUBUKAN 'TO!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Because of this vlog ,I have learned there’s a bus going to Davao and the documentary was perfectly made,informative and not boring. Magaling si Gretchen

I'm a foreigner but have an affinity with the Philippines because my wife is of Filipino heritage. I hope you keep creating informative, educational, and inspiring stories about all facets of Philippine society. Power on and God bless you!

Gentong content gusto kung mapanood💖💖💖

I’ve driven in Europe passing through 8 countries in one day. But this seems to be more exciting than my European road trips. Epic.

I Nominate Ms. gretchen as the best blogger of the new year. My First Time to view her Blog and it mesmerzed me. She is intelligent, no doubt, compassionate without fills, exudes sincerity and he speaks clear, understandable Pilipino. Finally, di sya maarte which shows she is a High Class journalist. Thank you Ms. Gretchen for my new year you tube treat!

Ung halos 1 hour ka nanonood pero punong puno ng kwento ng pag asa ..sarap panoorin ..kaya d ka magsisisi sa 1 hour halos na pagtutok... kudos maam gretchen... galing tlga

Napaka heart-warming naman ng kwento na 'to. It reminds me of my first journey to Manila. I was born and raised in Leyte. I took the Philtranco bus on my first trip to Manila, to continue my studies. I was 14yo and I was traveling alone. It was a typical Promdi story. Pero cguro malakas na talaga loob ko kahit noong bata pa ako. Kahit noong 3rd HS na ako sa Manila, ako yung nagyayaya sa mga classmates na pumunta kahit saan. Nakakarating kami ng Cavite, Tagaytay, Batanggas at Antipolo to think ako yung Promdi. With the support of my older siblings i was able to finish college, pero nag-worked din ako as service crew sa mga fast-food chains like Wendy's, Jollibee and Carl's Jr. I did quite well in school so pinalad na maka pag worked abroad. From working in a few posh hotels in Dubai, now living in Canada and became a Canadian citizen several years ago. I visited 33 countries so far and counting. I've also traveled on buses, trains, and ferries across Mexico, Colombia, Canada, USA, Europe, Middle East and even in the Caribbean such as Cuba and recently in Puerto Rico. I've been to many famous destinations and landmarks around the world. I don't know what it is but travelling keeps me sane and grounded. I just love exploring different places and cultures. And it all started with my first travel by bus from Baybay, Leyte to Pasay City when I was 14. Kudos Miss Gretchen Ho for this beautiful documentary.

Grabe im hooked! Gretchen is so genuine, she made the documentaries simple, and very relatable... its extensive and lots of quality content, i also like the charitable segments that they do... the stories of the people they meet along the way, spontaneously. i'ts my first time to watch a local travel docu and actually finish it. I love her toothy grin... i hope you keep making more vids.

Ang galing ni Maam Grechen Ho, isang Filipina na ang puso ay tunay. a high profile broadcaster, a famous athlete, from a prominent family, artista, and yet simple, practical, and helpful. ... prettiest pa

maganda yung content very informative; yung biyahe, yung route, travel tips, yung mga passengers at yung host. galing mag magbigkas ng mga tagalog words, walang kiyeme at cowgirl na cowgirl. love it!!!

Gandang experience Ang byahe sa bus, Dami mo madaanan magandang views.... Tlgang nakakapagod ngalang tlga...

After watching this, Gretchen has won the top spot of my favorite vlogger in youtube 🙌🏻🙌🏻. Im a native of Samar, and relate na relate ako sa first oart of her journey. Yung Luzon to Samar na segment. Oh the good old days! Naoa reminisce ako bigla sa mga bus trips + roro trips nun..

I love Gretchen ! Simple and down to earth person 😍

Halos isang oras pala itong dokyu, di ko na napansin sa sobrang enjoy ng aking panonood. Please continue to create more high quality documentaries like this as it is highly appreciated by us, your viewers. More power to you, Gretchen and team.

Ito na ang pinakagusto kong episode mo Ms. Gretchen. Misty eyes ako lalo na sa bandang dulo. And the rapper add spice to it. And oh, 'di talaga madali ang mawalay sa mga mahal sa buhay. Wish ko lang na darating ang araw na 'di na kakailanganin ng mga kababayan natin na lalayo at mamasukan bilang kasambahay dahil sa hirap ng buhay sa probinsya.

Ganda ng genagawa mo Grett sana marami palsying matulong ngan mo at God na magbigay ng Blessing sa iyo at ang Ganda ng Pinas talaga

Worth it ang 55 mins na panonood , kudos to you ms Gretchen Ho and Team

1st artist na bloger na manila to Davao. Hindi maarte. Try to challenge sa mga bloger. Iba kasi ang Land trip dahil kung ikaw ay mahilig gumala. And love travel perfect po ito to see the provinces of the Philippines while nasa byahe. Thanks also make this content kasi yung iba hindi pa alam itong byahe at ng bus company. Ito parang dagdag information sa mga taga mindanao at karatig lugar I can't believe it po. 55mins pala tong video pero sulit po

Quality ka talaga Ma’am Gretchen,,,Idol May naalala tuloy ako sa Biyaheng Manila to Davao Same Bus,,,,

First of all isa ito sa pinaka sulit na 55 mins na pinanood ko sa youtube. 2nd nagulat ako sa last segement mo na nag kita kayo ni Bea P., in which classmate ko sa CSA Makati wayback na makikita ako na same Bea P. Na nung high school kahit sikat sa Ateneo. The video was all documented the texture, substance and how you Gretchen Ho as a person as the compassion would be genuine and as much as in your element, you heart and intellectual integrity is every bit impressive in your artistry and talent.

I couldn't believe that i finished this without skipping a part of the vlog. This is an eye opener to everyone that as much as people would want to experience a better life, the opportunities in the country are very limited and it is evident in the vlog that it may require huge amount of sacrifice even at the expense of a happy family. God Bless, Ate Gretchen! You are an inspiration to many!

Congratulations WIN Team, this episode is worth to watch. More power!!!

*Kahit maging 5 hour vlog pato di ako ma b-bored pag gantong content. Galing pa ni Gretchen. Astig!* 😎

Wow! Very informative and nakaka encourage to try this. Gretchen's is really a compelling journalist at kitang kita na walang arte at di pretentious. Kudos to Gretchen and her team!

Ung Tinapos ko ang full vedio ako ang Na excite sa mga susunod na eksena I mean what a beautiful places Na nadadaanan nila.

Nakakataba ng puso na mapanood ang dokumentaryo mo, Gretchen. You're an awesome journalist. And wow, helping this poor family reunite after 10 years is just heart-warming. Thank you for caring to those who are in need.

I am from Cateel, DavOr and currently living in Leyte for almost 8 years without going home, last year lang po ako nakabalik sa Davao Oriental and ganitong-ganito talaga ang experience ko but 23 hours straight po ang byahe. Fulfilling po talaga ang makauwi sa pamilya and totoo nga po ang " It's good to be back home" hehee

Hello Gretchen sobrang naaliw ako sa inyong biyahe Manila to Davao. Pakiramdam ko kasama mo ako sa bus habang pinapanuod ko ang video. Pakiwari ko napaka sarap mong makasama sa paglalakbay. Naibigan ko rin ang Barcelona at Madrid na Vlog mo. Sa pamamagitan mo kami ay naipapasyal mo at nalalaman namin ang history ng iba’t ibang lugar. Gustong gusto ko ang iyong pagsasalita at pagiging matatas sa Tagalog, at ang iyong kagandahan ay di nakakasawang panuorin. Aabangan pa namin ang iyong mga vlog sa darating na mga araw. Mula dito sa Santa Clara, California ipinaabot ko ang aming pagbati sa iyo. Mabuhay Ka !!!

Ito yung mayaman na hindi maarte, down to earth.

I wasn't expecting this to be a very well-produced show. What wonderful content. I had a beautiful, humbling 55 minutes experience. Growing up in SoCal, I would love to travel and see more of my home country someday. Thank you for your God-given talent and your whole team's hard work. Happy New Year!

Ang bait mo mam Gretchen! Sana mabigyan ka ng walang kataposang biyaya galing kay LORD.❤❤❤ AT SANAY ma meet mo ang mahigit isang daang basketball kids na lebre ko silang te ni training,puro mga batang pobre.salamat.

I never felt that it was a 1-hour documentary, mix of emotions felt brought by different stories among the passengers. Thank you maam Gretchen for creating such wonderful documentary. Thank you also for visiting Tagum City. Proud Tagumeño here.

napaka solid ng docu na ito.napaka simple ni ms grechen at ung pagod alam natin hindi madali bumiyahe ng 2 days..God bless you po sana marami pang docu na mapanood

I admire Ms Gretch for doing this blog. Ang hirap ata na nasa bus for a couple of days. Wala syng kiyeme at very simple st yotoo di kagaya ng ibng vlogger na feeling privileged. This vlog is worth my subscription

My aunt lives in Davao. Pero di ko pa sya nabibisita or napupuntahan, never pa. I hope I can visit her and dati pa mas gusto kong mabyahe by bus for the reason na you can enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. And I thank you for making this video Ms. Gretchen. It gives us an informative way of traveling, not only by land and also by sea (thru ferry).

maganda itong episode na ito gretchen! napakahusay nyo! keep on doing good episodes! bravo!

First time ko makapanuod ng video ni Gretchen. Ganda ng content at ang taas ng quality. Makabuluhan, relatable at inspiring. Ang ganda ng pagkakakwento at ng mismong kwento ng mga pasahero. Thanks for taking us with you Gretchen and team! @30:27 tawang-tawa ako, pati si Gretchen walang ligtas sa spam texts.

FINALLY, I find my time to watched this episode,(tagal ko Na syang target, kaso na busy nga :D )napaka informative and tunay na sulit syang panoorin. I was amazed sa buong kwento, kaganapan at sa lahat ng iyong nasaksihan Gretch.

Ung ibang contents sa youtube, around 10 minutes lang pero parang nakakasawa o nakakatamad na panoorin; but this is almost 1 hour long and yet, i watched every minute of it. This video is very simply done/presented but touching and appeals to your emotions. God bless you more GH and may the Lord protect you and your crew in all your travels.

Grabe, well-produced documentary and at the same time for a good deed💙 kudos to you and your team Ms. Gretchen. I have been a loyal fan since 2011 and still admiring you and your personality silently..💙

Gretchen, you are down-to-earth (walang arte) and attuned to the plight of the Filipino masses. I've traveled quite intensively and watching this documentary brought back pleasant memories of the places I've visited in the Philippines. Job well done Gretchen! 👍

2nd episode na napanood ko. Ang ganda, very informative at ang touching din lalo na sa yung mga stories ng nami-meet mong tao. Ang galing m, Gretchen, nakakahanga. Keep it up!

Pinasaya at pinaiyak mo ako’t nakita ko muli ang kagandahan ng loob ng bawat isa na involve sa documentaryo ninyo. Sana’y biyayaan pa kayo ng marangyang kasaganaan at kalusugan para makarami ka pa ng ganitong dokumentaryo… salamat sa iyo at sa buo mong crew.

Kudos to the whole team! 🥺🙏

I have my family living in Davao city, I'm from Cagayan province and my mode of transport whenever I go to Davao is by plane, although I did plan to go there by land but to this date, still a plan. This post of Ms. Gretchen Ho gave me an in-depth info about the duration, fare and the problems that go with it. Surely, many people like me who are thinking of traveling to Davao city first time by bus will appreciate this video.

Wow! Ang candid ng documentary na eto. Thumbs up Ms. Gretchen :)

Congrats Gretchen....as if i was also on the trip.....first class vlogger po kayo...

Madam Gretchen, I like your music. Very interesting trip, stay safe po...

I left the Philippines in1983 and worked in another country. I was really thinking how I can go around the Philippines to see the beauty of it. I think this is the best method. Thank you Gretchen and company in posting this blog.
