Great restaurant with an epic view of Mayon volcano. 😱👍 While you're in Bicol area you should also try Laing Pizza & Chilli Ice Cream.

You should visit Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar in Bataan where these old Spanish era houses all over the Philippines were preserved and made into a resort hotel .. amazing how they were able to bring and preserve them in this place ..

This is kind of video i wanted to see most on your vlogs, chairman. The food and travel. A delicious combination.

nice view and good food! awesome combination! 😁

That view is stunning with the beauty of Mt Mayon. I can stay there the whole day.

wow thanks for showing us the views in Mt Mayon, will add that to my travel list

We were in Bicol region to do the whale shark watching in Donsol. Unfortunately it was cloudy so we didn’t see the full Mayon volcano, and there were no whale sharks.😞 Mergim, you were so lucky to see the volcano and experience good food! So jealous!

The architecture you talk about that's like a fusion of spanish and asian styles is a traditional filipino style house called Bahay na Bato. It evolved from Bahay Kubo, which is basically a wooden house that stands on bamboo or tree trunk stilts; similar to what you see in other southeast asian countries like Thailand or Indonesia. When the spanish came, a lower floor made of stone was added onto the house, but the upper floor & interior remained wooden, and the stilts either became arches or was replaced by stone walls depending on the house. The roof also evolved to became tiled instead of thatched. Meanwhile Chinese influences added those sliding windows & the style of tiles used for the roofs; which is why many bahay na bato has that curved tile roof shape you see in many east asian traditional houses. However the actual style of the roofs remained similar to the traditional Bahay Kubo; the only difference is that now it is tiled & it also got that east asian curve to it. There's also another type of Bahay na Bato which is exclusive to the northernmost islands of Batanes, which pre-dates spanish colonization. Those houses, along with the Idjangs, are similar in style to traditional okinawan architecture from before okinawa became part of japan. The Idjangs are all gone so we don't know what they really looked like, but there are still some Batanes-style Bahay na Bato still standing today. There used to be way more Bahay na Bato before WW2, but unfortunately there's only a few left nowadays. The war coupled with economic deterioration really dealt a huge blow on heritage buildings.

Mayon volcano it has majestic beauty...when it show it self to you...some folks said it welcoming you.....

That was a very delicious and inexpensive lunch in a very nice place.

What a beautiful place in Bicol the stunning beaty of volcanoes and lovely delicious dishes wow and I feel hungry now yummm

Food looks great. That is an epic feast...

Mt Mayon is the only volcano in the world that has a perfect cone. I read that somewhere. 🌋🌋🌋 WOW… food!

the majestic Mt. Mayon in the background + sisig +bangus + lechon kawali 😋

More Scenery Mergim at Bicol. Stay safe 🙏

Mukhang masarap😋😋 ang kinakain mopahinge ! with matching mayon volcano, perfect .

Congratulations! To Philippines beautiful culture for winning World Guinness Record In 313 Dishes and recipes from Pork products itself. It's a proof that Philippines has beautiful, simple,rich culture since 300 years of Spanish colonization

If I'm not mistaken, you're the first vlogger in Mt. Mayon... Another good video chairman 😅😅😅

The upstairs is old Philippine architecture from the early to mid 1900's. Would luv to see a resurgence again in traditional style.

I believe that's how most old houses of rich people across the country, with those type of windows, looked before World War 2, Mergim. That was a good view and good choice of food, reminds me of when you went to Tagaytay.

love the scenery! 😊

Thanks Mergim for this travel in Bicol featuring the ever perfect Mt. Mayon 🌋💚 The foods look good however the Bicol express and pinangat are not presented authentically. No skipping ads to support you 😘🇵🇭 Quezon province hopefully added on your future trips. Beautiful white sand beaches ie Cagbalete in Mauban, Polillo, Jomalig, Alibijaban , Balesin slands and so many more. Happy travels and take care 🙏

WOW 😮😮😮😮. FANTASTIC SCENERY AND THE MAJESTIC MAYON VOLCANO .AMAZING ❤❤❤

That coconut in Bicol Express is 'gata' and it has chilis...

Philippines has so many beautiful scenery. Oh and that Restaurant is a typical Filipino House during the Spanish era

Philippines is beautiful in nature. Hope I see those places when I go home to retire next year in Bataan Phiippines.

wow.. very cinematic.. love it

Food and the beautiful Mayon Volcano

We've been twice in Bicol, both summertime. We went to the inner side of Mayon Volcano where there's a walk leading to a wonderful waterfall. We paid entrance, I think then sometime in 2016, about 10 pesos. It was a delightful adventure, for less money.

A very picturesque episode of your travels and mouth watering choices of delicious foods. Happy to see that you’re living life to its fullest. Be well and stay safe. 😊

Wow...what an amazing trip so far! Great weather for it too!

Can't beat that view and the food! Stay safe!

Mergim -- The architecture and the volcano made me homesick.

Nice view up there and savory cuisine if Bicol's pride! Enjoy! 🙏🤙🇵🇭

Welcome to Albay sir! My hometown😊🌋⛰

Plenty of foods for one😊😋😋😋

Damn you Mergim. Now my stomach is grumbling like an angry volcano.

Im wondering if Mergim tried the spicy ice cream

Try the bicoll chilli icecream

You should stop by lake Buhi if you are still in Bicol. Also Sorsogon City it looks beautiful and it’s relatively expensive to buy property there compared to other cities nearby. You know what that means.

Wow! The perfect cone! In any angle you look at it, enjoy, tcare, stay safe 😊

Bicolanos are known for spicy dishes. Enjoy the culture and the local food. You lived in thailand and I'm sure you're familiar with spicy food.

That bicol express is worth visiting Albay, Philippines with that perfect cone volcano in the background. Amazing vlog Mergim ! NYC to Albay is about 20 flying hours?

Welcome to my birthplace Mergim!❤❤❤

Thats a Bahay na Bato. The windows are what we call Capiz Shells...

Enjoy the pride mayon volcano of bicol region philipoines

Thank you for visiting my hometown, hope you have a great time here!

ang ganda grabe ❤😮 proud bicolana ❤

So happy to see you really enjoying the fantastic sceneries in Bicol region.😍👍😊

Thank you for featuring Albay in your vlogs. I hope you can visit more beautiful places in Bicol particularly in Sorsogon.

All i can is awesome!! 😍😍❤️❤️

Omg the foods 😮😘👌

this is a good new discovery 🎉 when i go to these places, i no longer book a hotel, i just rent a car and sleep in it because these places have fresh and cool air at night.

Dang! Spectacular majestic Mt.Mayon incredibly amazing! Dude,as always another great content btw you made us crave eating authentic ilokano sisig .😊

Beautiful place! The food is yummm! Thanks for this awesome vlog mergin! Keep safe! Watching from Australia!♥️🇦🇺🙏

Great series

That’s a lot of food for one person

wooowww Filipinas ❤❤

I LOVE this video. Having lunch with a BEAUTIFUL VIEW of the Mayon Volcano, PERFECT. The food so DELICIOUS. I can’t wait to be back in Manila, although I’m not exactly going to have a happy vacation ( taking care of my not so well brother) still can’t wait to eat all my favorite foods and visit the restaurants I’ve seen on Utube .

Seems like you have an extended stay in Bicol Region!

Thank you for this video. Im going home to bicol for a holiday. I will definitely visit this restaurant. ❤

The last time i saw your video then i subscribed you just have 23k subscribers😅 but look at now you already had 160k plus subs congrstulation🎉

Mergim, have you tried lava Ice Cream?

Hola Bicolandia!

Hope to visit that restaurant this year

yr adam's apple should have it's own KZfaq channel.. THNX for these GREAT vids Bro!!

My hometown.i love the coconut foods as well.

Hi Mergrim our mate, please visit Sorsogon Province too, Bulan in particular. 😀🙇

😂❤😊 AH MERGIM YOU HAVE CONVINCED ME! I MUST TRY SUMLANG LAKE RESTAURANT THERE, SOCORRO! WHAT A NAME FOR A RESTAURANT, ITS A COMMON FILIPINO WOMAN NAME BUT IT ALSO MEANS "SORROW" OR HEARTFELT PAIN LIKE GRIEF. YET, THE BEAUTY OF THE PLACE & THE FOOD IS A REAL CELEBRATION! MT. MAYON IS SPECIAL, ITS OUR "COMPETITIVE" VOLCANO BEAUTY AGAINST MT. FUJI OF JAPAN AHAHAHAHAAAA! WE ARE PROUD OF IT! A FEW FRIENDS & MY BROTHER HAVE COME NEAR BUT NEVER CLIMBED IT. THERE WAS A TIME IN THE 70s IT WAS LIKE A "CHALLENGE" DUE TO THE DANGER OF "NPA INSURGENTS" (NEW PEOPLE'S ARMY) BUT I GUESS THAT HAS DIED OUT NOW, I HOPE. GOD BLESS YOU! YES, BICOL IS A WONDERFUL PROVINCE & I REMMBER HOW THE "BICOLANA OR BICOLANO" WAS THOUGHT OF AS VERY FILIPINO NATIVE IN OUR CULTURE IN THOSE BYGONE ERAS OF 70s TO 80s THAT HAD THE "POP" CULTURE OF APRECIATING OUR PROVINCES. MT. PINATUBO IN PAMPANGA ERUPTED THEN, I GUESS THAT RAISED AWARENESS ABOUT MT. MAYON TOO. TCARE!

bicol is so beautiful. i have to visit this place

Your lunch looks delicious!

You have to try Pinangat , eat it w/ hot pandesal and hot coffee. You can buy it to Centro Camalig , Albay.

You were in Vigan. They have a lot of old ancestral houses there. If you want to see great, big, awesome ones, go to Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar in Bataan (Bagac, I think?). Mind you, the entrance fee is pretty steep but it’s beautiful in there. There are restaurants . You may not be able to film everywhere with a big camera but a cellphone will be allowed. Who cares though? You may want to just do a cultural trip, sans film making.

Nice ❤

FAMOUS FOOD here in our place is LAING AND BICOL EXPRESS. then your question is, is that the best restaurant not yet. It so happens they are located near our volcano

no new vids for awhile now..waiting for the next vlog..always watching your content mergim

YUMMMMY!!!!

Thanks for visiting Bicol!! By the way, there’s no word, Bicolonian. You can use Bicol, Bicolana or Bicolano.

Wow🥰😍

Wow

so delicious

try pansit palamigan..

🎉❤😊thanks

Idol mabuti naman napasyal ka sa Bicol, dumeeretso ka na sa amin sa waray/

Actually, if you go around there in the residential areas in camalig proper, or just near their town center, just near sumlang lake you'll find more heritage houses like these from spanish era that are well preserved by the owner families.

It's rare to see mt.mayon clearly. You're one lucky guy. 😎

Bicol region is known for spicy foods

Maurag si Chairman😊❤ magayon si Mayon🎉🎉

One of my favorite places in Luzon is in Kiudkad The Last resort + Daldagon Peak, Siruma, CamSur. Thank me later :D

Maaan I'm hungry right now

More bicol vids! 🙂

Damn! You really did enjoy Bicol!!! You could visit Caramoan for some beach Island hopping please!!! You'll enjoy it!!!! :-)
