I'm sorry to see something bad happen to you, but I'm happy that your thoughts and actions are correct. It's wise not to get involved in any side!
Although you wasted time and money, you gained safety and can continue traveling!
Your face looks like an angel, it has pros and cons, so be careful no matter what you do in the future!
You may encounter unsatisfactory things during your travels, so you should be open-minded and seize the moment!
I wish you all the best and happy travels! 👍🥰🙏
p. s. Be sure to keep the video that captured the driver's crazy behavior. It may be useful in the future. This is a way to protect yourself!
My gf and i hired a private taxi to boracay from iloilo. No joke she puked 11 times! The driver scared the hell out of me, he was going over 110kph on 2 lane country rds, passing around corners. Just nuts.
Glad you made it safe finally
I speak Cebuano and hiligaynon, I can understand them. The two filipinas got angry with your driver because he cut them off near a bridge 'taytay' in their language. She's saying that he almost caused them an accident and their family was with them. Your driver didn't hit them actually and said that they were the ones not giving him way. But probably the fear of being in an accident with your family members with you got them really angry.
Be safe but still enjoy your journey.
Classic case of road rage driving it’s dangerous 😮
I’m really sorry your holiday turned into a horrible experience. Hope you are OK.
Bus is safer . Next time don't hire taxis or private cars for long travel because it's way expensive and fraught with danger
yea, private cars are also not registered with the regulatory agency and you cant sue them when something happens to you.
How about rent a scooter and take the ferry?
Use Grab in the cities and busses (Five Star or Victory Line) are your best bet. I was lucky to have a family friend drive us around with a rented car. Taxis and any random person offering you services are a HUGE no-no!
Bro this is the part of travel vloggers life.
Nothing will happen bro take care. Dont worry. You did the right thing by removing yourself from the situation.
Zane, I'm the guy who said hi to you in Dumaguete; the guy who stopped his motorcycle and shook your hand as you were just sitting on the sidewalk, waiting for someone. What an unfortunate event you went through. But, anyways, I hope you enjoyed Dumaguete. It's actually where many expats choose to live. It's been voted as one of the Retirement Havens of the World by Forbes Magazine. But, yeah: what a FRIGGIN' day!!!
Hello, I planned to fly from iloilo to lapu lapu, rent a scooter and drive to Southern cebu, take ferry with the scooter to dumaguete and siquijor, then ferry back to cebu, and drive the scooter back to lapu lapu. What do you think ?
Hey man! It was so nice to meet you. I had a good time in Dumaguete! Thanks for saying hi and watching!
@@zanetravel
Your driver hit them somewhere ,.and just leave them as nothing.. that's why they chase him and we're so angry..
There are big beautiful air conditioned Ceres bus going to Dumaguete non-stop. Its not crammed and quite comfortable. It is safe too. But good to know you are okay. Take care always buddy and thanks for visiting my hometown Bacolod city!
Bacolod is the City of Smiles but there is nothing to smile about what you just experienced. So stressful 😮.
This is real traveling zane and whatever happened on the way is part of the adventures. You'll just remember it someday and laugh it of
Life is a journey of ups and downs , full of good and bad doesn’t matter what country your in ….the more you do in life the more you will experience this 😊 Enjoy your journey…..
I got into a similar situation in Indonesia. Me, my wife and son were driving with a Driver from Grab, and he just turned right to turn around in the road, and a motorcycle hit the car on the right side and flew at least 5 meters. He started fighting with the driver, and at least 10 other people who saw it started pushing the car. I got super scared. Luckily, my wife's friend, who works close by, saw it, shouted that it was a kid in the car, and let the driver leave us at the hotel.
My son slept through it all in the car and didn't notice a thing.
DO NOT WORRY!!! just relax and enjoy dumaguete 😊
Sorry you’ve had to experience such in my home country🙏God was with you still and hopefully that driver learned his lesson well! Goodluck and stay safe for the rest of your travels❤
Zane, my option is still public transportation if I'm new to the place and I'm just alone. If ever I'll use private transportation, it's mostly with family members and relatives. So careful man.
I’m sorry for what happened Zane. That must’ve been so scary. to experience that. Thank God you’re fine and everyone is fine. They weren’t talking in Tagalog so I couldn’t understand them. Taxi drivers are notorious for crazy driving just like most drivers here. Idk if they ignore the road rules or just don’t know. Anyways hope you’re enjoying your time in Dramaguette. Yup those expats are seniors. Hope you meet them…most are vloggers also. Get used to Filipino time and just chillax 😂
Dont worry Zane! You got it on video so no worries, you have all thr evidence you need, plus it is on CZcams so we have your back!
Hi Zane! My unsolicited advice for you is to take much bigger vehicles, if you want to travel long distance in the province, like bus than trikes or even taxi, more safer. Take care and God bless!
Hello, I planned to fly from iloilo to lapu lapu, rent a scooter and drive to Southern cebu, take ferry with the scooter to dumaguete and siquijor, then ferry back to cebu, and drive the scooter back to lapu lapu. What do you think ?
I’ve stayed in that exact same Airbnb and the same exact room! Rooms are expensive in Duma, because the demand is high and there isn’t many rooms available so they can make the prices high. The woman that owns the place is really sweet, she also owns the little clothing store next door. It’s not that bad, I just took a bird bath… with room temp water it’s not that bad. There is a nice bread store down below…
You handled yourself very well in that situation. Stay safe and enjoy your travels. 🙌🙏
The Ceres Bus has certain points in the cities where it officially stops. Because otherwise, you would never arrive you destination, if you just stop everywhere someone is waving hands. Only when your on the bus, you can ask the driver if he can let you at a certain point. Sorry but what do you expect? There is only one lane per direction! Does your Greyhound busses just stop somewhere along the roads?
I feel sorry for you because of the accident of course. I only understood after 20 minutes what was going on though.
btw, nice, 1000 Pesos. I think he would have brought you to Cebu for that money :D at least somebody got very happy this day :D
Just use the Ceres bus next time, from Bacolod to Dumaguete. Nobody dares to cross the road in front of them. Even the really good ones with proper seats and aircon are just 500Peso for the whole route
Shit happens anywhere. Thankfully you are okay. Most provincial buses wont stop for you if you are near their final stop. They cannot force you to be involve, testimonies are valid only if it is given voluntarily. just to be sure, have your country's embassy number on speed dial.
Glad you made it safely - it'll be a good story later. Something like that happened to me in the Philippines about 13 years ago when I hired a private driver from Manila to Angeles City. Getting through Metro Manila was nuts and then just before we got on the Luzon Expressway the guy stopped by the toll plaza and crossed himself in the Catholic manner. I asked him what he was doing and he said he was praying for a safe drive. I joined in. In the Philippines, it's never just a straightforward drive somewhere. It's an ADVENTURE, haha!
So sorry for that incident. Just started watching your vlogs from Chicago. My beautiful the Philippines
Hope this experience doesn’t stop you from enjoying Philippines.
That made for one hell of a vlog!
Thankfully you are okay. Take good care of yourself on your travels...x
Glad Your okay Zane❤. Maybe this can be a great story for your travel diaries when you publish them in the future ❤ Hey it’s been very successful for Chris and Morgan❤
You’re a nice guy Zane…please be careful of you’re generosity. Seeing your video and noticing how kind you are, I hope you don’t fall prey to others that may want to take advantage of you, though you did stood your ground at first on that taxi saga, in the end your big hear took over…stay safe, fair winds and following seas kind traveler…
Crazy Taxi turned Trike Patrol. Wild day indeed i hope everything gets better after this hurdle. Normally in the Philippines, the passenger isn't involved in anything traffic related incidents.
Zane i watch your channel all the way from zürich Switzerland.thank god you are alright.Zane pls dont let the driver situation ruin your time in the philippines pls dont.by the way i am from Manila philippines.
Please come back here soon in Iloilo City zane❤🥰
Take care stay safe Sir your a very good vlogger and Ive always been watching your channel....try to take the bus next thankyou and I support your channel..
Love the new shades 😎 Thank you for helping the Driver by the way ❤
You were left at Sibulan, just before it turns towards the town center.
One more thing zane always bargain.you will be fine zane.😊
I can relate to your experience, Filipinos can be unpredictable sometimes and commutes and travels. But your vlog is great and i love watching your experience the Philippines.
Always take care Zane❤🇵🇭
Glad you had it sorted out 😊
Fries and rice are good too ;) I’m glad you made it safely .
Road rage is common in the Philippines everyday, it's normal. Enjoy your stay!! ❤
I don't know which part are you from in the Philippines, but this is exactly what I don't see here. I have never seen a road rage in the Philippines!
If you went with any other option you wouldn’t have this story to remember about how you got to Dramagete for 1,000 pesos!
You should definitely pay for the service provided… expecting a safe and sane trip is an unreasonable expectation… it’s the Philippines 🇵🇭
Yes lots of stupid drivers here . They don’t give way to pedestrians . They think they’re the king of the road. They need road education .
Of course you'll have to brake no matter who is not giving way. Don't let your ego get you and just brake period from a safe distance. Try to overtake only if the coast is clear. Don't race if you don't have the skill and patience.
I think majority of vloggers here in the Philippines have encountered some type of accident like this. Be safe Zane!!
Wash off the negative energy, enjoy life, and travel. I hope this bad experience turn into something nice soon. Take care Zane
Glad you ok Zane Stay Safe And God Bless 🙏🙏🙏✌️👍👍👍👍👍👍💕🇺🇸
You dodged a bullet ...I'm a subscriber, lived in Thailand for 16 yrs. They do anything to "SAVE FACE" and never take responsibilty. You learned sumthing but I understand as I've been there too.... it's NOT comfortable cause police will usually blame foreigners. File this away as an experience and stay safe
Thank goodness you're ok and no one got seriously hurt🙏🏽 btw, love the new airbnb. Stayed in the same one last year! I hope you got a chance to order stuff from downstairs cafe👍😁 Hit up Ground Zero for their pepperoni pizza!😋 and you’ll love Siquijor !!!
You are a good man Zane, I am sure God will always protect and guide you. Keep safe man and God bless.
OH MY GOD PLS TAKE CARE ZANE GOD BLESS
There are 8 hour flights with one stop for $3,500 to $5,000 pesos from Bacolod to Dumagete
Lol you passed by our house!!!
31:32 Philippine time is a real thing 😂
I've been watching your videos for a while now and can't believe the unlucky situations you can get in 😢
Its no big deal but worth noting that its 6 hours by bus. They are air conditioned, never crammed, enough stops including an extended one for lunch. Movies playing and plenty comfortable. I found the bus to be prefable to car. I lived in Bacolod 3 years....
Don’t be upset your safe and make good content . Be happy life goes on .
New subscriber here
I learned something about traveling in the 🇵🇭from this video 😊😅😅
Wow! You are really having an adventure! It’s good when funding is not a problem!😁😁😁
It's just a typical Tuesday in the Philippines. 😁
I started watching your channel during the Japan series and thas was absolutely amazing. All your videos are very informative and amazing. If there is one country you should go back to it should be Japan, it is so cool learning about it because it is my dream to go there.
Oh its normal here for taxi driver drive like that. Canadians and Americans are very new to this.
yes BRO i watch your all blogs, you go to SIQUIJOR island its verry nice there and verry cheap also ..its verry nea in DUMAGUETE city..
Great vid, I m planning a trip to iloilo, cebu, dumaguete, and siquijor, which is similar to your trip. But I decided to fly to cebu and rent a scooter and drive to Southern cebu and take the ferry to dumaguete and siquijor.
What do you think ?
Smart not to get involved. Some countries will blame YOU for the accident because YOU hired the taxi. Smart not to get involved but never ever hire a taxi for long distance trips in a foreign country
The driver did not deserve any payment in my opinion. I hope he learned a lesson there and will not drive like a crazed maniac. He should be very very grateful he did not take a life and received half the payment for gas to get him back. Stay safe Zane and hope the rest of stay will be smooth and fun!
Charge to experience. It is still safer to take the bus or boat going around the area. Less convenient, but they are accuatomed to the places where they are going. Keep safe
Be safe brother,,, enjoy,, come back to iloilo on january experience dinagyang festival,, the most unique and happy festival in the phillippines,,,
were sorry for what happend to you in our country and i hope you'll enjoy your vacation here in philippines even tho there is a problem
Are you still in Dumaguete? Try going to Wuthering Heights so you can relax 😊. Take care
Hi we’re filipino canadian concern about your safety, please be careful, god bless
This is one abusive driver obviously. I think one good option is to report them to the police together with the video footage to teach them good lesson and also to help his victims
Welcome to the Philippines. The way they drive there is crazy! No real rules there!
glad your ok, your a trooper...
As you've probably discovered by now, every journey on the road in the Philippines is perilous, full of near misses and chaos. It's just part of the culture there.
i take the three wheelers around when i am in the PI , its a wild ride haha. fun, but crazy at the same time
That part of the Philippines is not so developed. Life must have been too simple there.
you so brave to travel alone zane.. just be careful always.
Glad you're okay, take care bro
Unlucky man, what a crazy day
rice? rice.. rice? rice.. rice? 1 rice.... rice?
I spent more that 1 week in dumagute and Siquijor last September. You can stay in DOLCE AMORE Resort, a nice resort with its own Italian restauant. Hope to 🎉see you there ❤
Hilarious 😂 subscribed
Next visit us in Davao province 😁
Dude your face @11:34 🥲 I could feel the awkward energy from that incident 😫
don't worry about not paying driver; he didn't deliver on his end of the contract.
For my long trips I take...
Cooler with ice, fruit, juices and sandwiches. I buy a cooked chicken, cut it up and make chicken sandwiches.
There with hot coffee!
And my favorite honey roasted cashews!
Take an aircon Bus much comfortable and safer
Hahahaha....
trike driver: "dumagete, uhhh u shud take the bus"
Zane: " i'll give you 1000 if u take me there“
driver: " ok sure, no problem " 😂
was that like 2 KM? he was done for that day for sure, went home early and had some gin and lechon with his friend lol
Na budol ang kano
Cant blame zane, he was from a traumatic situation and want ti get over it and atleast rest in a airbnb
That is only $20.....
Welcome to the Philippines!
Hello, I planned to fly from iloilo to lapu lapu, rent a scooter and drive to Southern cebu, take ferry with the scooter to dumaguete and siquijor, then ferry back to cebu, and drive the scooter back to lapu lapu. What do you think ?
bro couldnt believe you said 1,000 and asked a second time
Be safe Zane
Hi mate, what camera do you use? I love the videos btw, they are inspiring me to do something similar
Love all your videos. But i think you need to do more content of the culture of the country so people can see. But i love your videos. Be safe❤
Your a good guy and very honest .
Glad you're safe...
You are such a nice guy. They financially took advantage of you. If you had paid 200 pesos for the tric driver, that would have been plenty.
That’s horrible 😢 tsk tsk be thankful it’s not nighttime. Pls. don’t give them your passport. And beware of modus most of them charge too much even it’s not your fault. Better to take videos while riding different public or private transportation to show more detailed evidences. Take care always and have a blessed trip
Nah bro. As a Filipino American, I would say you’re too brave to be traveling alone and meeting strangers.
US is the safest on earth.
I can honestly say I would feel safer in the Philippines than being in the US!!
@@KnH07 😂😂😂😂😂
That shades looks good on you, bro.
Unfortunate situation. I hope it does not happen again.
Rome to Rio website says a taxi from Bacolod to Dumaguete should be $55-$75.
