- Our new Filipino friends took us to the beautiful Malabsay Falls just outside Naga City.
We met Lionell outside his restaurant 'BurgBox' one day in Naga City and he offered to take us to see some of the beautiful waterfalls here in Bicol.
We drove to Mt Isarog national park which is a stunning place unbelievably green and right under a volcano - seriously the nature here is ridiculous.
We spent the day at Malabsay falls eating delicious homecooked Filipino carinderia food and swimming in the refreshing cold water while avoiding the evil leeches.
We've met some super nice Filipino locals on our trip so far looking forward to seeing more of the Bicol region these next few weeks.
Check out Lionells burger restaurant in Naga City - BurgBox. The guys a legend.

Have you been Bicol before? 🇵🇭
So many beautiful places around here.
Huge shoutout to Lionell for taking the day off to take us to Malabsay falls!
Hello I’m new subscriber. I enjoy watching you eating carinderia foods in all your vlogs . Love it that both of u are both adventurous and not picky eaters like some other couple foreign vloggers .stay safe .
Thanks so much! Yes we eat anything foreigners are so boring
Just wondering how much longer you guys will be staying in Philippines?
@@kristinelizaso2352 Few more videos coming!
What nice people, proud to show you both around. A lovely day out apart from the leeches 😮
Really nice of them Carol to say we didn't know them atall!
Super people taking you there 👍🏻.
You’re principles are right about fees & spending. Sometimes people think westerners are dripping with cash & expect it to drip into their pockets. It’s obvious you’re travelling on a budget & very respectful to everyone you meet & support small local businesses all the time. Keep it up 👍🏻
Idiots some people
this is a great find ...very local..
Thanks!!
Beautiful
Wow lovely places in naga Bicol
Beautiful have you been to Naga?
I wanna go there
Glad to hear you appreciate Filipino food. My mom is from Bicol and so my favorite dishes are anything with coconut milk. 😄 She has lots of stories about Mt. Isarog but I’ve never been there. Nice to see it in your vlog. Enjoy PH and keep safe!
You should visit its beautiful! As for the food yeah the Bicolano dishes with coconut milk are the best 🇵🇭🙏
nice time and beautiful place
Thanks so much for watching
Yeah
Wow that falls is awesome for sure it's freezing isn't it?
Cold but not for us English were used to it!
Thats the good thing of having local person. Can take you to places which arent much visited by tourist.
Yeah really cool
dont think they are dodgy, they are probably commisioned by the owner to look after the property as it is a private property. meaning they own the land and when they open it to the public they need to maintain it. you see you have a proper walkway which costed them to develop for the visitors convenience. i think thats how it works as well anywhere else unless it is public property and the government is the one maintaining the place and it will be for free. hope you understand coz you will encounter more of this in the philippines. as you can see, from your travel in the philippines so far everyone has been so friendly to you and very helpful and generous so dont think badly of them. i understand the skepticsm but filipinos in general are very hospitable and accomodating so it is a bit sad for filipino viewers and might give them disappointment if you will keep showing negative interpratation of things. beside you have filipino companions so as long as it is ok for them meaning it is ok coz to tell you, they will be the first one to defend you if they think you are being taken advantage of thats how they treat guests. thank you, cheers and safe travels and wish you have more great experiences to come in the philippines. lessen the doubts about the people, filipinos are very honest in general. even the street kids you encounter, dont ignore them or feel pissed coz you are not accustomed to it. we are a poor country and sadly we have a lot of them. a little help wont hurt but if not its ok too just dont show them you dont like it. visit legazpi albay too, home of the mayon volcano the most perfect cone shaped volcano in the world.
Hey I'm always honest. Our Filipino friends told us it's a scam, should pay entry price and nothing more! No other country I've travelled in 2 years does things like this! I have to point it out so the country can improve it's tourist treatment.
Us white tourists were the only ones who had to pay this sadly.
Stay tuned for more of Bicol and Legazpi! Mayon is beautiful 🇵🇭🙏
i apologize for the misconception. thought you were complaining bout the entry fee thats why your filo friend was explaining the situation there. 😂 hope it was an isolated case coz generally they wont treat you like that. cheers and hope more great things you will encounter there to compensate for that one bad experience. im a fan by the way, been following your trips. enjoy and have fun. im currently living in australia but im from there in bicol specifically letazpi albay! try atv to mayon. it’s fun. you can haggle with price. usually the standard fee is 1000 to 1500 but with charisma you might get it for 700. hehe. dont be shy to haggle it is part of the culture there. have fun!
@@rogiedaet1 Ahah I'm a good haggler I'm from Northern England we don't like to spend money!
I appreciate your support. Bicol is our favourite region 🇵🇭❤️
happy to hear that, if only i were there i would love to show you around too. bicol is underrated. not much foreigners go there but it has a lot to offer and still very raw. most of our touristy spots are in visayas such as boracay, siargao and cebu. i talk a lot. haha.
thanks for replying btw. you are very connected to your followers as i can see. filipinos will love you and you will have a big following in the philippines for sure. more success for both of you! looking forward to more of your adventures. cheers mate!
@@rogiedaet1 Of course I always have time to respond to the people who support me. Have a great day 🙏
Ahh yes, my hometown
beautiful town
Nice seeing you chase the waterfalls! Leesh has been leeched 🤣
Your the man responsible for my leech paranoia
Hi mate I hope you visit visayas region theres alot beautiful beaches and hinatuan enchanted river in mindanao
Thanks for the tips!
That's great that the locals took you to the park. As always, and i'm sure you guys are aware, but just keep your wits about you because there's always scammers and people with ill intent. That being said, what a nice day to spend at a waterfall and that food is choice. 👍 Remember, 'ginataan/ginataang' anything just means it has coconut milk/cream. So anything can be ginataan. Also, totally very Pinoy of you hiking in 'tsinelas/chinelas' 👍 That's the true Pinoy way. Hahaha. As for the entrance fee.....yeah, most places do charge some kind of an entrance fee and some places do require a guide but this one doesn't seem to need one. BUT if I can play the devil's advocate, there are places that are private property and they have these caretakers to oversee. But then there are places that are just ridiculous, especially charging you more just because you're a foreigner. Sorry that you encountered that.
"sana all" the literal translation is hopefully all but the context is more like, 'How I wish" or " if only." As always, totally impressed that you just got stuck in especially with the dinuguan. Yes, it is made with pigs' blood but there's variation. We personally use ginger and lemongrass but it is mostly cooked with vinegar in it. That's why it doesn't have that iron taste, not as prominent. And that water looked totally refreshing and I can relate to the feeling of swimming in ice cold waters....perks of living in Canada. 🥶 But we love the cold water. Anyhow, happy trails to you both and looking forward to more adventures and I really like that you're going into the less touristy spots and there you will find the gems. Cheers.
Hey cheers for watching and for the information i appreciate it! Yeah the entrance fees and overcharging is the one thing you guys need to work on it doesn't really happen in other countries it can be a bit of a shame.
How amazing is fresh cold water! We will eat anything we find Bicolano food to be extremely delicious, I wish more people would try before saying all filipino food is bad. Hope you enjoy the next videos have a great day my friend
Well, I hope you guys can tour more places because so many regions have so many amazing foods that aren't pretentious. Just down right home cooking. Where I'm from, the Visayas region, namingly Bacolod City in Negros Occidental, we are known as the sugar bowl of the Philippines. We have popularized chicken inasal and the amazing sweet that we produce from that are. Let me know and I can point you to some awesome food. Also, in October, we are also known for our Masskara Festival.
Having said that, since you're still up in Luzon area, Pangasinan province is the culinary capital of the Philippines. Great places there too. So have fun and till the next video. Cheers.
@@dianallamas7135 thanks so much all sounds amazing 🙏
Sana all is slang for "I wish". Filipinos always come up with new slang all the time and sana all is the current one. Another word for carinderia is turo- turo, means point point. You turo turo (point) to the food on display.
Ahhh thanks for explaining!!
There's a lot of falls in Libmanan, Camarines Sur in Bicol but if you wanna try good beaches I recommend the white pebbles beach resort in Bagolatao, Minalabac, Camarines Sur but I advice you to rent a motorcycle if you wanna try it since it's location is a bit far from Naga. You can also explore Ragay and Camarines Norte. We have a lot of beautiful beaches to offer with clean waters. Our locals are very friendly and accommodating too. If ever you want to swim always make sure that there is a person left in your cottage to watch your belongings just incase there's a bad person who took fancy over your things. Remember to always be careful.
I am not informed that the entrance fee of foreign nationals are much higher. I don't think it is fair and it is quite embarrassing to know. I am sorry for that bad experience but I hope that it won't affect your willingness to know more about our province (Bicol) and our country (Philippines).
It's nice to see you being humble to our locals. Thank you for that.
Our dinuguan is quite sweet because with add gata (coconut milk) If you try to eat the dinuguan in Manila you can easily diferentiate their dinuguan to our dinuguan in Bicol because they don't add gata (coconut milk).
You can try to look in deeper places in Bicol, we also have lots of clean rivers to offer. Some areas don't actually put entrance fees.
I am really grateful that there are vloggers who wants to explore small provinces like ours.
If ever you want to explore more provinces I recommend my mother's homeland, the Batangas province (San Juan, Batangas) 🙏 their accent is very good and they still manage to preserve old style houses. You can also feature the Marcos Highway and you might see the big statue of virgin Mary there. They also have amazing foods and tourist spots to offer.
Thank you very much
Mabuhay! 🇵🇭
Thanks so much for the comment I really. Appreciate it 🙏
To rescue you.

I like this vid
Not sure why some falls have entrance fees. Not all have like the one we went to in Pangasinan. Maybe because that one's in a national park. Maybe the fee is for maintenance of the place. But yeah, i guess the government should be the one to spend on it.
I wonder why the Dinuguan you had was sweet. Maybe Bicolanos add coconut milk to it too. Otherwise it's actually a bit sour because of the vinegar. Btw, we also call Dinuguan "Chocolate Meat" coz of the color. :)
You know, there are nicer falls than that just a few hours drive from Manila like the ones in Laguna and also in Tanay. Maybe next time, try to explore that area too. :)
We paid the fee it was 20 for locals 50 for foreigners. Then they added a 'guide' fee which nobody had to pay apart from us foreigners :(
The dinuguan has coconut milk in there yes! It's delicious!
@@EllisWR Yes, that's weird. Plus the fee should be the same for locals and foreigners. Will try to send your vid to our DOT and let them know about it.
@@moondustgirl2132 Yeah lots of places in Asia charge more for foreigners! Thanks for support
Hey bud ! What software and cam you use ? And do u upload footage to laptop then editor ?
Hey mate I use premiere pro to edit on my laptop and a Sony FDRx3000 to film. My videos don't really have any editing in though it's super easy.
@@EllisWR do you import from cam to laptop ? Then upload from laptop to editor
@@daletravels23 Import footage to laptop then edit from my laptop with the editing software yes :)
@@EllisWR cheers bud im having some technical issues lol
Ya they will be responsible to find you.
The reason why they charged you guys just in case they the one that will find you if you guys disappear in that area is very virgin forest.
They charged because they are greedy and have 0 respect for tourists. Other countries don't do this.
dinuguan is a pork blood stew
It's delicious do you like?
Yes They Have A Version of Dinuguan in Sweden and Denmark They Called it Blood Stew , And Blood Sausage They Don’t Tell me What it Was , Until I Found Out They We’re Pork Blood, And I don’t Eat Pork …. But it Was Delicious 😂😅😂…. ✌️✌️✌️
@@piacash5216 Why no pork?!
@@EllisWR Every time I Eat it Before I Got a Headache 😂😅 The Doctor Told me Not to Eat it Coz of The Cholesterol He Said it gives me Headache so Weird 🤣😂😅✌️
There's a typhoon coming
Bad news
Be careful with the leaches you guys might end it up swallow it while you guys eating.
That sounds terrible aha
Don't Get it Twisted. People die and get lost ....and if you go by yourself.... you don't know the terrain. You slip, You fall, You ouchie.
THE LAST thing they need is a PR disaster of 2 foreigners dying
butt puck somewhere because they are alone and no one to help them.
That in effect would cripple travel not only to ALL of Phillippines, but this area in particular.
Sana all.
Is your comment serious? I think I can walk down 50 concrete steps without somebody holding my hand.
Funny that the guide tax only is chargeable if you have white skin lol.
😂
John chapter 3 is for everybody in the world, which includes people in the Philippines.
Wow! You really do complain about spending lil bit of money 🤦🏻♀️ you didn’t even pay the entrance fee for the people they brought you there 🤦🏻♀️ you’re like the only vlogger that is so cheap to tip or help locals out ugh!
I don't like being lied to and overcharged thanks hasn't happened anywhere else really in 2 years so.
I'm not here to be a white saviour and I'm not rich like most vloggers you see.
Is supporting local businesses not enough? I've only spent money in family businesses the entire time in this country. We also spent 450 pesos on food for us all was that also not enough for you?
If you don't like go watch some idiot throw money around instead 👍
They Entrance Fee Should Pay The Same For Locals or Foreigners, You Guys Have To Report This ….. ✌️
