  • 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.

    @brianmorales Před 2 měsíci +13

    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!

    • @KumanderDaot
      @KumanderDaot  Před 2 měsíci +5

      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. 👍👍❤️❤️🙏🙏

    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.

    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. 👍

    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.

      There's a protected area where you can't fish (marked by the buoys). But in front of the town is ok
