- A HUGE LANDSLIDE HAS DESTROYED PART OF MY FARM IN AGUSAN DEL SUR.
And the calamansi was doing so well!
The good news is that only 150, or 5% were buried by this huge landslide - but it's difficult to see all the same!

Andrew, thank you so so much this is really generous 🙂 regards too to Lolita!
With this kind of amount he can buy 200sqm land ! And have new crops !
I am watching this today as my wife's cousin was laid to rest just yesterday from the landslide in Davo de Oro Masara and her and her children left behind are on my mind. . It is so sad what has happened this rainy season. My wife and I are in the US now and were able to raise some money to help the families that lost everything in that landslide. I reached out to you, and you were so kind to respond to my message about their situation. I pray for all the families there. Filipinos are so resilient in the face of adversity it's just sad that they must be. I've only been there a hand full of times, but the Philippines has a special place in my heart. Not just because it has given me the love of my life but because I have come to love so many of the people that i have met there in the precious time that i have spent in the country. Thank you for your videos allowing me to feel as though I'm there when I cannot be. Salamat Kuya
Sorry for your loss gid bless
Our club has just sent relief packs for 300+ families who have evacuated to Mawab poblacion... I really feel for them, having lost everything, and not just a few trees. This January and February have been horrendous... I hope the rest of the wet season will be less destructive.
@@KumanderDaot that is awesome we were only able to help about 20 families I’m so glad that more help is coming from others it broke my heart getting messages from my sister-in-law of others we asking for help and we were not able to meet their needs. Unfortunately just as my eyes are bigger than my stomach my heart is bigger my wallet I wish neither was true.
your fishpond is los and now your farm... pugong lang kd. god is good we are here to suport you in all ur future indeavor
Your personal loss, and the lost lives of all who perished in the recent landslides is devastating; the Filipino people are some of the strongest and resilient I have ever met. My thoughts and prayers are with those families right now. May the support come in time to make, a concerted impact, that will assist in a speedy recovery for all touched by this sadness.
Be like Filipino KD. Resilient,strong and full of hope.
love your positive outlook on what happened tp your farm...❤ as always you choose to find the good side, Kumander Daot!!!
I’m so sad about the landslide but glad no one was hurt in your farm. Praying that you’ll find a solution and that your farm will prosper. 🙏🥰
Kumander, don't worry it is only part ofyourfarm. You can replant and recover... don't give up. Things would be better ahead. Behind the storm is bright sky
Keep strong Kumander as things happen even to good people like you. Our thoughts are with everyone affected and those who lost loved ones. Nature can be so beautiful but also so cruel. Recover strong and you are never alone to deal with ups and downs. We are always here for you buddy. Take care my friend 🙏
I spent my childhood from 1963 to 1972. I remember that all forests were full of giant trees. Heavy rains always occur, but there is no flooding or landslides. Unfortunately, the logging firms cut all the trees and sold them to Japan without reforestation.
Deforestation impacts on so many lives; like chaos theory, the effects will reverberate over many seas. It's ironic that the beautiful and precious land, is again bearing witness to the same abuse, experienced 3 decades ago - do we never learn...?

Ooh no, I am sorry to hear, Anselm. Looking at the glass half full, you’re safe and all not lost. I hope there’s solid foundation below the soil on your farm to withstand the next natural disaster. Best wishes!
the sun is up... everything will be ok kumander... filipinos are courageous, hopeful, and resilient... and you are a filipino too😊❤
There will be many cities in philippines will sink under ocean in the future bcus of high sea lvl
That is a massive landslide.
Great to see you are still very positive.
Life is all about hurdles and how we work around them.
Sorry for the loss of all your hard work.
Thinking of those who have lost their homes and loved ones.
You're looking well. I hope you and your beautiful family have a wonderful weekend.
You're a great narrator.
So hard to see something you've put so much time and effort into taking a hit like this! You'll come back from it stronger. Thinking of all those affected 🥰❤️
Hello Kumander D, silent subscriber here. So sorry for the loss part of your calamansi farm, just keep going ...plant trees where the landslide is. Trees that grows fast to protect your farm from heavy rain that can cause damage. God Bless.
Love to hear you talking. Nature is what it is. Keep smiling, one day at a time.
Just learn to be resilient Kumander D. because you are now a true Filipino by heart. Your farm is flourishing despite the landslide. Plant more trees and fruits and annual crops to add cover to the land. Godbless your family. Keep going Kumander D.
Yes Kumander, plant bamboo in your farm. It holds the soil together. Malakas ang kapit ng bamboo sa lupa. 👍
the calamansi will hold the soil together once they become mature...
Kumander Daot Laban lang Kay God is good and merciful .have faith and pray always.🙏💞💞💞🇵🇭🇯🇵
A crazy idea: there's a steep slope abaca net that DPWH uses to encourage growth on mountain cuts after landslides.
Are those abaca or coconut husk? Either way I really like the look of them
I think both fibers are used
@@nathanmontenegro9017 would make sense... Abaca is super strong and coconut husk is a great planting medium
Spent many years working on a property that grew various citrus trees. My boss told me with citrus you need 5 years profit to cover 6 years of produce. Wish you luck Kumander. I’m sure you got this ❤
Hi Anselm, you should look into Vetiver grass to stabilize the slope. Plant it along the contours especially at break-of-slope. Vetiver grows a massive root system which is 5m+ deep. It's used for geo-engineering worldwide. Vetiver is related to Citronella and Lemongrass.
tvnwi.org/what-is-vetiver-grass/
Trying to source vetiver grass here... It is fantastic stuff. I hope it also smells like citronella haha
@@KumanderDaot It's a long time ago that I researched it (in Hong Kong). I seem to remember that you can harvest citronella oil from the roots. I may be wrong, so don't base your business plan around that.
Potential by product in complementary therapy, and herbal teas...!
You must plant also bamboo, it can help to protect your farm.
Yes, i agree. Bamboo keeps the soul together. Malakas ang kapit ng bamboo sa lupa. 👍
Be strong, KD, and God will make a way for restoration and blessings.
Thanks Kumander.. I'm shocked by the rain.. I just left Cauayan on negros 2 weeks ago and our well was dry as a bone and the filter sucking dirt! I was there a month and we barely had a few drops of rain.. and blam.. you guys are chock full of rain. In my area during the rainy season the highway gets waist deep 2-3 times a year.. its a real shame the drainage isn't just a little bit better even but i understand the constraints. "This is the way" to quote the Mandalorian as myself and my partner often do. Great video. I love the life story side.. you are genuine man and it shines through.. never hide your oddness.. haha.. anyone who pretends to be normal I am highly suspect of!
Haha never pretend to be normal! I also apologise on behalf of Davao region for taking all of the rest of the country's rain!
@@KumanderDaot quit hogging the rain or we will send down a our best karaoke singers to love song it back from you! Beware the sweetness of the Negros sugar cane trio! (Tap dances out of the room)
You are now becoming resilient in life and adjust to what nature throws at you. Keep up the good work and your idea of planting bamboo is nice. You have options to choose on the variety of bamboo over there and the future you plan for its use ( lumber, decorative, or an erosion preventive measure).
Praying for you and your beautiful family KD!
@~13:00 KD makes a dubious face, but everyone DOES love lotsa him talking! 🗣️🎙️i certainly do. 🙏🏽💚
My heart goes out to you, Kumander. All that hard work undone by the sovereign power of nature which mankind has battled with since the dawn of time. As you said, "it's just plants.." and it only represents five percent of your orchard.
Powerful video…. Thanks for sharing your video and upbeat spirit 👍🏻👍🏻
Best wishes from Aus mate remember when the going gets tough
the tough get going.🍻
Just don’t loose hope Kumander we’re here praying for you and your family. God bless you a
so sorry to see this. I hope you take it in stride and don't let it get you down. keep strong.
Hey KD, I didn't venture to that side of Mindanao due to weather warnings for once I headed the advice looks like it was the right thing to do. Your getting a much more pragmatic outlook on these ups and downs ...onwards and upwards😀 Stay safe and love to your family 👍
Give and take about six months when all the stems and roots gets stronger and grip the soil better, you will have kalamansi all over. The landslide area, some of the plants might sprout back up. The fully grown Calamansi trees will prevent future landslide as their roots will keep the soil intact.
Hi Anselm! Sorry to see this setback on your farm. Appreciate your positivity, hope you, your family and your community get stay safe.
~ Well, the road is rocky and the hillside’s mud
Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood ~
From the picture only a portion was affected by sland slide. Just keep it up Commander. Business is a trial and error.
Mother Nature really is our enemy and we can’t do anything about that but prevention. I feel sorry for you but compared to other devastations, you’re still lucky and blessed. Take care always and stay safe and healthy Kumander D. 😊
Absolutely... Nature rules supreme! I'm also grateful that it's only trees.
Kumander what I did in my newly planted Kalamansi in Dizon Farms Mindoro was a Mulching with fertilizer bags, i cut the bag open so its wider and make a hole in the center of the bag and a slit so you can slide it to the trunk .that's about 1meter square of mulch ,and put a good amount of dirt on 4 corners of mulch to keep it from the wind, the mulch will last a year or so before its rotten up
Laban lang po, Kumander daot!
Do not use too much Glyphosate (herbicide ) grass helps hold the soil together, especially in the rainy season
All the best Kumander D....stay safe 🙏
God bless you always keep up good works
Anga oi...asa man ta ani....sa punong ug bangus bahaun...sa kamansian guhuon....matabuk ra natu ning mga pagsulay.....amping.
You need to have the rain water get to the bottom of the hill without making the soil on top to soak in the rain and the soil soft and runny and slide down. Maybe stragically position rain water channels will help.
No skipping of ads to support KD
Kumander i have been waiting this farm and i wanted to see it be successful. I think this idea of a what you are growing is a great idea and I want to see this turn out good.
Stay Positive & Enjoy Life!👍
Ayos lang yan KD be strong Tuloy ang buhay
Your cam quality is very nice KD! 👋😊
Laban lang KD.Praying this won't happen again
You should plant big trees in between the calamansi so that it will hold the water to avoid landslide...
Thinking of either big fruit trees on the steepest parts or bamboo. Bamboo grows (and roots) much quicker...
@@KumanderDaot that's nice my friend... i wish someday i can own a calamansi farm like you...amping amigo..🙂🙂🙂
I was born and graduated elementary in Mindanao. I came to the states when I was 12 with my family. Seasonal floods and earthquake is part of life. You learn to pick up the pieces and move forward. The resilience of the Pinoys is part of what makes the people humble and beautiful. Baha lang ka !!! Pinoy ta !!! Kaya nato ni !!! Arise !!! Bangon ta oy!!!
May the new year be good to us Kumander, may the dragon scrare away all the bad luck. :) Life goes on.
love your positive attitude kumander❤
What a land slide! We hope that you can recover soon from your losses.😥
Time to hit Researchgate and see which crops deal with erosion the best. Hard to know what to do when the soil actually disappears like that though.
Praying for you and your family 🙏
All is well kumander.....
You need to plant bamboo on the edges of your farm in able to hold the valley/mountain sides of your farm and if your farm is near the river/lake/falls/ stream you bead to plant a mangroves on the edges in able to have a protection from storm, landslides & home for the fish or any mollusks species. Have a break and you will recover from natural disasters ❤
Maybe it will be a good idea to plant trees all over the place. Trees are known to hold the soil intact. Mango trees (the carabao mango variety) will be a good idea. At least you have 2 kinds of fruits to harvest in the same land.
Mango doesn't grow so well in this area... It rains too much... Durian and lanzones would though. I'll figure out what grows well beside calamansi, those would be better for the steeper areas.
@@KumanderDaot Durian would be wonderful. During harvest season, you can hire people at 1,000 pesos per hour. The only catch is that they have to catch the durians with bare hands. 😂
I am sorry for your loss of land here. Staying strong.
ingat lagi kumander, hope you recover.
it is a 10 year cycle.... may not hit in the same area but a 'once in a decade' calamity occurs in the philippines.
Always Ride Safe Kumander..
Ur being resilience will make u succeed in ur goal kumander.. Never give up just lear what life teaches u..
Omg!!! Sorry to see that kd!
Seeing as the most rainfall came through the landslide, you should try to rebuild it with a trench formed in the same spot, to direct water through more effectively in the future with less damage
Try planting some vetiver grass: they have deep roots
So sorry for the damages to your farm..
I suggest that you & the community plant hard wood trees around the area.
It's a good year for a Welshman it's the year of the dragon.
Wow what a slide for sure... I hope no more..
You plant mahogany tree there Kumander that’s the best. And they grow so easily you can harvest then after 10 years have a research on it
😢❤ Your Resilience is admirable in this devastating time... Proud of you Boyo...!
Can't control nature!
@@KumanderDaot Definately, once the root system develops it will hold things together, the Biodynamic Agricultural Architecture you are developing with your land, will pay off in the long run. You have to appreciate the natural biodiversity was heavily traumatises, when the land was raped several decades ago, and since then the violent chemical abuse and inharmonious farming, unfortunately did little to pay respect to Mother Earth. You are doing the right thing in paying back and repairing the abuse She suffered; Complex Trauma, is no different in Land or Man, it takes time for both to heal. May the Gods continue to protect you and enable you to continue on you journey in life; each hurdle, is a test of your strength and compassion - and with each one you will grow, Spiritually and Psychologically, becoming a wiser and content being. 🙏
How to make a small fortune investing in the Philippines. Invest a large fortune.
Tough luck KD. But what doesnt kill us makes us stronger. Just keep on fighting back...
Let's just hope for better things to come tho it's quite sad Amping Kumander
Try khus khus grass. It has very deep roots and animals dont eat it nor doesit ever get dry even in droughts.
I remember my father's story as a youngfarmer , their about to be harvested rice field was eaten ravaged by locust , he said he and his father cried❤❤❤
Thanks
Really appreciate it!
Plant gemelina trees they grow fast and hold the soil.
Lemon Grass has deep root system so I could help strengthen the soil.
failure is a ladder on your success don' t give up
You plant fruit trees on the hills in order to hold soil from eroding.
Kumander Gwapo, nice haircut! That's quite a dilemma you have, since the terrain is all fairly steep slopes. Just wondering if there's a way to retain the soil at the bottom to avoid having all the soil get washed away when these heavy rains come? Obviously, it's better to have a way to mitigate the rain damage at the top, if you can redirect the water away, or prevent it from flowing down the slopes with so much volume and force. However, you don't want to lose all the soil that does get washed downhill, especially after the earth has been loosened up by the earthquake and after-tremors. Glad it didn't turn out worse for you.
That's a tough break. Yes, it's not a home or life, thankfully, but it's more than "just plants"; it's hours and hours of hard work, money and future income too. I admire your good attitude, and it is recoverable. Still, just sad to see, as is the devastation and losses of so many Mindanao locals. But, in a few years or even months, it will all be just a memory. Amping.
Take care
Plant vetiver grass has deeper roots. Will prevent erosion on the moutian side.
I got the heart and you got the blood
We cut through iron and we cut through mud
Then came the warnin’ that was before the flood
That set everybody free
What to do? VETIVER!! In Philippines it’s called Mora and it is used to keep hillsides stable.
Mora! Now I know why I could never find it, I was asking for Vetiver!
Sir next time stick bamboo in ground to tighten ur soil, Veitnam use this same tecnique as foundation for thier homes
When I first saw your land, I immediately suspected that your land will be susceptible to landslides. Steep land with deep rooted trees removed and not rocky. So naturally, landslides will occur in times of heavy rain. But be strong and continue to persevere.
Kumander don't plant bamboo close to your calamansi because bamboo has substance in its roots that suppress the growth of any plant surrounding it.
Damn, so sorry!
Hope the rest sticks together 🤞
So sorry 😢 🙏🏼
Kanang area na nag landslide mahimo na nimong natural water way.
For ur perimitter fence mas maayo ang kawayan bai. Aron pwede nimonh maharvest.
KD, you're a poet and you didn't know it. But your feet show it. They're Longfellows! 9:33
In case you're not familiar with him, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was an American poet from the 1800s. He's probably best known for "Paul Revere's Ride" Not a favorite poem, or topic, in England, I'm sure.
I learnt something knew today!
With the continuous earthquakes.. we just can’t help but expect landslides and massive flooding. Hope this would end soon.
😊 GOD BLESS PÓ daot ka sayang
❤❤❤❤
