The good thing in the Philippines is that the locals speak English, even the young kids. And they are very friendly, too.

*_kuya Jonathan is one of the kindest American here in the PH! stay safe always kuya J..._*

Life is so much better when everyone is just so welcoming and compassionate. Stay Blessed Brahdah!

I just got back from Leyte. The WHOLE trip was stress free and relaxing. The moment I landed at L.A.X. for a transfer flight back to Texas, I immediately felt the stress. First off, L.A.X is a nightmare to navigate. Secondly, the people were not friendly, from the workers to the flyers. No one was smiling and greeting each other. Twelve years till I retire. I am counting the days!

Nothing more relaxing than hanging out in the Philippines 🇵🇭

What makes these videos so special and enjoyable is the interactions with the locals and being out away from all the touristy areas. How many times do you need to watch videos of the same mall, over priced resort, 5* hotels, etc. and no interaction with the people, I've seen it once, don't need to see it again. But these videos it's always something new and the people you meet and actually talk to are what make these great. Thanks for showing us the real world side of Philippines, not just tourist hot spots, and the friendliness of the people.

you have a kind soul! showing the very sense of humanity!❤

After living in Japan, China, UK for many years and visiting many other countries I have realized that while in the US you may have a bigger house, a bigger salary, a better university, in other countries even for average people the food most people eat everyday is better (and cheaper), the fun they have every weekend is better (and safer), the cities they live in are better (and more bustling), the history/culture they experience is better (and more interesting), and the women they see everyday are prettier (and well mannered). The US has positives too (great outdoors, work opportunities, diverse, friendly people) but the truth is I guess we are rather boring haha. I certainly can understand anyone who decides to live outside the US. Enjoy life where ever you are!

Its really good to go around and talk to people randomly!👍🇵🇭🇧🇭

I love that you are exploring Bohol with us watching you do it. I am so happy that you are enjoying the Philippine treasures. ❤️❤️❤️

My gf is a filipina andd her sister lives in bohol tagbilaran. Ive beencto panglao twice (stayed at the alona swiss resort which i highly recommend) and ive been around many places in the philipines and Bohol is probably my favorite region. Its a cozy island and the people were very nice.

loved this :) I love the generosity and the experience. This exactly what I want to do some day, drive around, chat with the locals and buy food from stands to share (helping the vendor and the locals both).

i also really hope the locals know how much your videos help there business

I was born in Bohol and l will assure you to all foreign and local visitors hospitality and caring of these people are. Enjoy to the fullest. Thanks.

Man I can't say it enough Jonathan I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! I'm 9 years away from retirement and my plan is to go home to Manila to live 6 months out of the year. You've brought me so much Joy with your videos and I always look forward to your next and next and next videos. Thank you for helping me to enjoy my home country while I am away from it.

Out of all the foreign vloggers, You are very genuine with the people and respectful our culture. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you Jonathan for showing us Philippines and always being kind to Filipinos ❤️

Love the way you communicate with the locals . And be friendly to each of them. God blessed and stay safe and have fun.

Just a bite of halo-halo will quickly put you in a de-stress mood. Those family owned resorts away from the touristy spots are highly enjoyable, great finds Johnathan.

Unplan tour. Good communication to people. Nice guy

You're making me miss Philippines. I must go back. I've also been to Bohol many times. It's basically my favourite spot.

I love this, just shows there are really nice places to find off the beaten path and away from the average tourist area. I think a lot of people would like to talk to the people and enjoy their company so it is nice to get a good idea of places to visit.

That's pretty cool that you could buy halo halo for all of those people and it was still less than $10

My wife and I also love traveling around the quiet side roads of Panglao. Never been to that area near Bikini Beach though. That Bobo Cafe looked interesting. I love all of the Philippines but Bohol is my ideal Philippine island. Perfect combination of everything.

You make the best videos of the Philippines and your experiences there. You are my favorite blogger !

Love your blog because you communicate with the locals. And something native and simple quite place with the sounds of ocean love it. I grow up not far from the ocean and lake. And I always play as a kid in the ocean . Love the simple local beach. And native .

Hi Jonathan, it was great to see the excitement on the individuals that you treated to Hallo Hallo. It always amazes me how friendly and appreciative the Filipino people are to tourists that they interact with.

I love your videos man I just get relaxed watching them. I’m a big fan of yours. From Missouri

It's really great when You accidentally find a phenomenal non-tourist spot. Foreigner tourist can be a bit obnoxiously loud.

Hi Jonathan, enjoy watching your videos and supporting your channel. Keep up your positive vibes & kindness. Whenever I’m off duty my friends and I we’ll travel to Asia and have the best of time. Our last visit was Bohol Alona beach beautiful beach, people were friendly and we had lots of fun. Miss the beautiful beaches and Red Horse (smile) we visit around Asia every chance off duty we get (smile). May God bless, guide and protect you throughout your life. From USA

Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I cannot believe how beautiful the young lady at 20:40 is... she can defeat my whole city with her natural look and kind attitude. Philippines is definitely on my list of travels with my lovely wife next year!

You look like you’re having heaps of fun in Bohol; I’m so envious here.

Another great one ! Thanks Johnathan !

You are so good to the locals ❤

Thank you so much Jonathan for this video You're the best..enjoy and take care every time..always watching here in st.petersburg Mabuhay...

Thanks Jonathan for being nice to my countrymen 🥰🥰🥰

Wow! You hit the jackpot again Jonathan! Your favorite random places and get surprised as always. Even had a halo-halo party going on! Excellent rare finds again Jon! Keep it up!🇵🇭🇺🇸✌

You did the local economy a great favor that day! 😊

youre so genuine man!!! thanks for visiting Philippines!!!

Hi Jonathan, kumusta? You're so generous with the locals & that sets you apart. I admire you for it. Ayo-ayo, amping 💕

Thanks for showing the "real" Philippines, especially in the "rural" areas. I will visit JUSH resort one of these days.❤

I just love your kindness, maybe some day we might visit the Philippines.

Thank you very much Jonathan for loving my country ❤

Ahhh that just sums up one of the things I ❤ about being back home in the Philippines. The impromptu gatherings and just the laid back lifestyle. The halo halo is great too, of course!

That the things I like, natural full of life, not crowded and peaceful.

You're a kind person. May our Lord Jesus Christ bless you always ❤❤❤❤

Welcome Back Jonathan. Enjoy brother.

Great Vid .. We need more of Anne with you

You will never run out of beautiful places to go and explore in PH

Hope you are living your best life in there Jonathan.

im in thailand now but just came from the philippines. el nido was cool but touristy. malapascua was too touristy & way too many motorbikes for a small island with non stop honking. cebu city was awesome,stayed in a high rise apt for $20 usd a night (unreal). siargao was pretty cool but, siquijor & bohol/panglao were my fav for sure. i loved just cruzin around bohol & panglao checking out places & meeting locals plus the beaches were right on & the prices in bohol/panglao were soooo cheap especially for a big plate of food with meat/veg/rice.loved it

We welcome all the foriegn people with open arms.Keep safe enjoy your journey Jonathan.The ambiance of the bahay kubo is very warm and peaceful.I remembered kne of your videos the kids called you opaw😆😆and for sure youre used to it😄

May lasengo umiksena umalis tuloy SI Jonathan 😊

Nice ...nata de coco the white one is coconut jelly there is another one main ingredient of Halo- halo is sugar palm we called it here kaong. Halo -halo is really refreshing dessert in this extremely hot summer even we are in transition period already summer to rainy season. Anyway take care.

Bohol is nice to live in.. Native sweets also bought there.. Their best known there is kalamayhati with different variations, etc.. 😊😊

You got that right! I am so envious you got to visit Philippines! 😍 And I love how you try different foods/snacks....

You’re pretty cool guy Jonathan so generous, thoughtful and kind , amping lang kanunay and God bless 🙏

That little kids accent is very good.

This is a great video I miss my country Philippines hoping to go home soon. Glad youre enjoying your holiday keep us update watching from cyprus ❤❤

The staff was so respectful OMG. I'll see you soon my Brahdah looking to arrive in November when it is cooler. My family was from Siquejor but I have never been there.

Tnks for sharing n' showing what's the places look like! I enjoyed watching ! For me it's not easy for us to visit those places coz we don't have enough financial to spend for touring places like that! Waiting for another beautiful vlog bro! Stay safe Good bless!

Thank you so much for d halu halu Treat Ur such a generous guy Jonathan it was nice meeting you 🎉

another great video lets go!!! i hope your ankle is doing better

Stay safe sir you're such a generous american god bless you

I don't think I could want halo halo more than I do right now. Thanks Jonathan.

Love your place and lifestyle man... take care and God Bless.

Very good sir! I'm glad you are picking up more Bisaya language. I love the non tourist areas of Bohol. The prices are lower, the people are friendlier, and there are many more unexpected wonders to discover. Thank you for showing us this. There is so much more to Bohol than Alona Beach. I retire to north of Sagbayan in July. I have a nice house there my Filipina wife built for us. Why don't you give us a video of the more common Bisaya phrases you have learned? It would be very helpful to many of us. I see how with just a few local greetings and thank short phrases, you become more than just another tourist to them.

That was really cool of you to treat everyone for some halo halo (Total pun intended 😁). Also like the native Kubo (Jush) resort. It's clean and practical. Friendly and accommodating staff as well.

that lil boy is just adorable ☺

thank you for a beautiful video its almost like I'm learning this new world with you Brosky!

Thanks for sharing your blessings ❤

Wow your having a great time. Enjoy and take care

Epic hospitality Jonathan . Great humanity

Coming in November, might be a good spot to hang out a few days

Nice documentation and promo of the place. Hello Jon!

Hello Jonathan!Watching from Los Angeles California.I miss my country. I’m from Samar Island.If you wish to learn waray waray dialect I’m happy to help.Maupay nga aga it means Good morning.Enjoy halo halo with the locals.I love watching your videos.

RIce or Fries? lol :) Friendly ladies. Excited to visit Bohol in September.

You are amazing. Another great content Jonathan! Great job, Well done. Very informative contents and hilarious too. I love how you are not shy to converse with anyone you bump into. Your vids are making me getting even more excited for my upcoming Island-Hopping trip in October to November. Can't wait, heh-heh. Have a good one matey, :-).

Thanks for your generosity Jonathan! Those guys surely enjoyed the halo2x party you gave. Daghan man layag diha sa tindahan heh heh! Enjoy your travel Jonathan. Keep safe!

Thank you for staying in the Philippines longer

Jonathan - i now live in Bacoor Cavite because school and work brought me to Manila. But I am originally from Panay island. Born in Iloilo City and grew up there and San Jose Antique. Also had my honeymoon in 2002 in Bohol and Cebu. I can understand your Bisaya.

Amping Jonathan of ur everyday's adventure , be safe always 🙂

We were living before in Bool District , Tagbilaran City , near the blood compact Sir Jonathan.

Wow...I'm from Bohol but I'm not lucky to explore Bohol ..hoping I can visit the nice places in Bohol soon ..in God's perfect time and will 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Great video. You're so generous for treating everyone to halo halo. That jush glamping site is really nice, clean and affordable (unlike US). Pearl resort was also nice.

I'm a Filipino 🇵🇭 but I've only been in Luzon, and I have never visited Visayas or Mindanao.

Checked out Pearl resort yesterday. Nice place to relax and chill. Been living in Dao for the last 12 months and did not know this place existed! Cheers for the video

I'm leaving davao city tomorrow. Bought a new house there. It's been a great trip.

You're such a great person. God Bless you.👍🏾

Love how you "give" to the locals 👍👍🇺🇸🫡🇺🇸😎

I already missed Bohol. I was there last week I stayed at Holabay resort for 5Days. And we toured The whole Bohol in less than 24hrs 😂 from Panglao to Ubay round to Tubigon then back to Tagbilaran and Panglao. Kapoy kaayo pero enjoy.

Kwek kwek is the quail egg. When you use chicken egg , it is called tokneneng

Nice place that you visited on the video. Im not sure if it's pricey but the peaceful place is priceless

Almost as good as a 'cooking with Anne' vid. Great job.👍👍

The first time I had halo halo it looked so strange... Corn,beans,corn flakes.... But it delicious

Enjoy your stay in the Philippines John. 😊 Take care. 😊
