- PHILIPPINES SQUID FISHING IN SOUTHERN LEYTE'S WHALE SHARK CAPITAL, PINTUYAN!
Locals call this "pygmy squid". They told me that this seafood, found in the shallow bay, doesn't grow any larger than this.
At 5:30pm, just as the sun is setting, an armada of small fishing boats go out into the bay for around an hour, just enough time to drop these improvised fishing lines into the water and hook squid on! Pulling them up, how many will I catch?
Then it's time for some aged tuba and dinner - these "nucus" are delicious cured in vinegar, eaten raw - sweeter than the larger squid!
The next day, time to do what Pintuyan is famous for - spotting whale sharks! The whale sharks come in and out of the bay at their own leisure - they are not fed by humans. We saw 5! Better luck this time!
And what an experience that was!
Then I visited the mountainous spine of Panaon Island - what I'd always hoped to do. It was so windy up there but an absolutely fantastic contrast to the coast.
And in the eco park at the bottom, I walked along part of the 1933 Pintuyan to Liloan trail. Until the 1980s, this was the way in and out! A huge contrast to the new(ish) Saddle Road, named as maybe Philippines' most dangerous, that I entered Pintuyan on!
My trip is almost over. But this was an awesome ending!

After the scare you gave them a couple of years ago. Your parents must be so proud of you now. You are such a ambassador for Filipinos and the Philippines.
I have similar mental battles. You inspire me and I never miss your videos.
" KUMANDER DAOT IS SUCH A GREAT VLOGGER LIKE KULAS "
One-month binge-viewer, first-time writer! Phenomenal content! I appreciate the evolution, and feel like your videos have become BBC docu-series level content layered with VLOG-style storytelling.
I returned last month from Mati, visiting my Lola, and dearly missed it when I googled "Davao" and you popped up! Just a lil' nod, you have a subset of viewers like myself, 1st-2nd-3rd-4th generation Filipinos born abroad but with our heart still in the Philippines and seeking to fill that vacuum with media like this! Thank you from Canad🍁
Here's hoping we cross paths in the future!
Thanks so so much for this! I really appreciate it 🙂 Mati is such a beautiful place too, Davao Oriental is where I started!
All the best to you in Canada and I will do my best to keep filling that void!
What a great experience to be able to swim with whale sharks! The first time I ever saw someone doing that was when I was a child watching it on a Jacques Cousteau television program. From that time I always thought that would be so exciting to do. That's a definite bucket list item.
This is what is good with Kumander Daot's channel. His videos are full of activities and content. The most applauded and appreciated aspect here is how he gets himself immersed with the culture and is interactive and inter-mingled with the locals. This is real action. This is reality video. Again, Thank you, Ansel, for showcasing another area/part of the Philippine Island. Power On to the Channel. 👍👍❤️❤️🙏🙏
Pintuyan is so beautiful. i hope this video will boost the tourism their .
What a marvelous vlog! It's such a thrill to watch all your activities in this one remote town of Leyte. Your video shots of the landscape and seascape, and especially the underwater shots of the whales are just so awesome. Always love your narrative with some historical background of the place. Pintuyan is a lovely town. Thanks for taking us there.
Maajung buntag @Kumander Daot, saludo ko nimo sa imohang mga videos parte sa Pilipinas, especially about Leyte and Samar nga imong gi suroyan. Grabi pud ag imong biyahe ning tabok diay kag Padre Burgos gikan sa Pintuyan arang lajua niana nag pump boat ra mo. Kumander saludo ko nimo being a foriegner who's becoming a tourism ambassador of the Philippines. Thank you for your love of our country the Philippines sir.🙏👍👍👍👍👍
I always smile to see your channel. I love the work you put into it and how it has boomed. Keep up the great work. I love your content and humor!
Thanks so much for being part of the journey!
Oh, my God! What a beautiful part of Leyte you visited. Truly, the Philippines has lots of wonderful and fantastic places to show to the world.
Thank you, Kumander Daot, for this video. I'm sharing it with all my FB friends worldwide!
Whale shark is like some foreign visitor... First, they are only passers by in the Philippine sea then now they are already a residence... Part of the Wow Philippines
Hahaha 🤣😂 thumbs up ❤😁 nice experience with local fishing 😍😁
another documentary by MR.KD this channel deserved a million subscribers and views😊 more power sir KD
Hello kumamder , video is beautiful, 🙏🙏🏴🏴🏴
2x as Nice = do you know that I watch most of your vlogs not just once, but TWICE? So true! First run = I check out the Storyline, Scenery and Food ... 2nd run = I read the Comments, along with the rerun. ...
Highlights this time >> The DRONE shots are usually the "spice" that flavor the story, and this vlog was SPICY. The paved winding roads amidst the green mountains, the vast blue baywater surrounded by landscapes. ...
WOW shot >> 🐋 🛶definitely the closeup of whale sharks!! from 12:32 ... Who's the brave (and Funny Fisherman) who served as your cameraman underneath? 👏👏👏
The DAOT Factor >> your hearty Laugh + your unassuming and modest Personality + your Fluency of the dialects = disarm most locals and make you more endearing to them. You don’t hesitate to look silly or be simply human in front of them. Uplifting vlog! 💫 Thank you, Kumander. 👍
Kumander D. Another beautiful video.
Absolutely beautiful view of the town❤😊 happy to see you are having a great time staying in there.. Thank you for sharing the beauty of southern Leyte. Documenting it🙌🏼 really beautiful
I hope you return to Hinunangan, Southern Leyte in the future. We are retiring there in June and when you happen to come back to Southern Leyte, contact us and we will be happy to host you and explore Hinunangan's twin islands, San Pablo and San Pedro. More power Kumander!

Wow is this time of the year that whale shark appears in Leyte ? Your lucky to see it in wild
nice. thank you for dropping by my home town Pintuyan.
Very nice🎉
Pilar Sorsogon started the whale shark watching. Then Oslob got a bigger market share because the Butandings were being fed and domesticated.
Commander Daot just shared another beautiful site that can give income to the people as long as they keep the butandings wild.
Watching from Iloilo ❤❤❤
Another nice Adventure kumander
Done watching kumander Daot
Kumander Daot, you're on of the best. Truly and this is a beautiful spot. Might have to come check this place out for the whale sharks. They seem happier and more natural here. What a beautiful place. Amping and have a great day
I seldom comment on videos I watch on YT. but this time I cant help but say.. Beautiful and very natural!!
Glad you had nice encounters. The dive boat from Padre Burgos was Peter's Dive Resort which i had some of my best dives near Pintuyan. I assume you took the san Ricardo roro back to Mindanao
Yeah San Ricardo roro, glad it's back again!
I love this guy, it's always amazing to watch his vlog.

Hi Kumander Daot. I would like to invite you to a ride and birthday celebration on March 29th - March 31st at Calian, Don Marcelino, Davao Occidental.
The beach and mountains there are awesome! We are going on a camping trip with family and friends. Hit me a message if you are interested! :)
kumander daot sounds like Scottish
are you allowed to catch the fishes that are swimming under the whale sharks?
There's a protected area where you can't fish (marked by the buoys). But in front of the town is ok
