![Meet the Whale sharks in Oslab ! [Battle Trip/2018.09.02]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/b7HQU_--Qdw/mqdefault.jpg)
This up close and amazing encounter with the one of the biggest underwater creatures, the whale shark we called ''Butanding", is another memorable and exciting vlog of yours Mergim. Continue to discover more exciting adventures and enjoy your wonderful journey in the country!
Very big and benign. I hope you enjoyed todays video :)
That boat has like 5 nationality in there from Japanese, Thai, South Koreans, British and Filipino. It's good to see how they bonded together. As for the Whale Shark, it's always as majestic as it can get BUT man that BGM that you choose makes me think of the Whale Shark like a character in a 3D animated film like Finding Nemo lol.
nice
Nationalities not races.
@@sitandchill2897 Done. By the way, it's sit and chill not sitandchill.
It's so lovely that even when you're traveling alone you still get to experience this with a friendly group of people ❤
Couldn’t agree with you more. I just keep meeting really lovely people everywhere I go :)
Awesome mix of different nationalities, that’s quite interesting when people you meet have the same curiosity as mine, enjoy people of the world
You'll soon hit 100k subscribers. What's important is you now have a solid base of followers who appreciate your vlogs and regularly view them.
True that :)
Such a majestic creature. I’m legit jealous that you got to do this, and got to get so close to it. The filming was great too, especially from the front when it fed itself. Fascinating how such humongous creatures just feed on tiny shrimp, krill and plankton. Great work again, Megrim.
Thanks hope you get to do this some day :)
It’s so nice to know tourism in there is booming. Good help to the economy. The Japanese are happy when they come to visit. No stress
You’re videos are always nice. Making friends with other foreigners. And even advertising Moalboal. Keep it up!
Thank you :)
Happy to see you mergim talking with co foreighners they're so friendly too like you hope you all enjoy oslob place. take care and God bless you all. ✌👍💖🙏🙏🙏
Two thumbs up
Wow its a very big whale shark thanks for this vlog and visiting Philippines.
Wow its awesome .. close to a whaleshark its beautiful...
I can’t believe we were that close!
Not only the Filipino people are friendly! Also the Whale! How amazing was that
Whale sharks are sharks, not whales... *smh*
@@AndrewBoniface09 obviously duh!!! just common sense
indeed ✨✨✨
Nice mergim
That's awesome whale shark
It's so much fun watching them swim next to you..
Yeah it was really fun watching going up and down eating away :)
Oh Wow, another bucket list of mine is to see these whale sharks. I am glad they are preserving the whale sharks in the Philippines. They used to hunt these creatures as food. I am glad tourism is giving livelihood for the local Oslob residents. Thanks Mergim for this lovely vlog and you have met fantastic people too. Experience the beauty of the people and the Philippines xx
Hope you get to experience it soon! Its quite the experience
As long as they are in PH waters, they're safe. If they go to our neighbor that starts with a C, they'll end up in restaurants.
@@lex5319 You don't have to hide the name of the country, just say it!
C H I N A! Where they will enter any countries economic zone to fish.
Filipinos have never ever hunted whale sharks for food. It's the Japanese, Chinese, North Americans and Europeans who poached these creatures for their oil and, in the case of Chinese poachers, for their fins for the valued shark fins soup. Whale sharks in Oslob have been visiting the area since I was a kid back in the early 70s and it was already a normal day to day sight for many locals in Oslob. Some of the local fishermen, though, hated the sharks, not because they feared from getting attacked but because they always got entangled in their fishing nets and fishing lines. Some fishermen hated them so much so they hit them with poles or oars or any hard objects they can get. The advent of social media specifically Facebook changed the way tourists documented their travels. So in 2011, a local tourist from Cebu City posted on his FB page on his encounter with the sharks with photos of him riding on the back of the shark, holding the dorsal fin and similar interaction which made his posts viral. The viral photos circulated on the social media like wildfire that Oslob officials was surprised to see a deluge of both local and foreign tourists to their sleepy town. The number of tourists grew exponentially everyday that worried local officials and concerned agencies about the 'abusive acts' by tourists on the sharks as more and more social media posts showing their (tourists) blatant disregard to the welfare of the sharks. One year later, the local officials of Oslob sought the help of DENR and WWF to set guidelines as to how they could regulate the interaction with sharks in a sustainable way. Thus in 2012, the current rules and regulations were officially issued and signed into local ordinances between the regulating bodies.
@@lionhearted1969 speak for yourself. I am a Filipino and we used to eat whale sharks during the 90s. So delicious!
This is awesome. Its great that you've captured this spectacle. I really admire your passion and dedication to your craft. Thanks in sharing this with us... Be safe Mergim. Cheers.

Thank you Mergim for featuring Cebu it seems that you have explored & almost showcase all of cebu w/ch other foreign vlogger missed. I know ur tired frm a long trip. Never skip advertisement as a way of supporting u. Take Care Always! subscribing from start to..as far as you go.
He's barely covered 1% of Cebu. Cebu is too big to cover in just one year. Even us locals aren't able to cover the entire province of Cebu after all these years.
True @ Giorgio Okanayev

A well-planned trip and worth the time to get there though it was only thirty minutes with the whalesharks. It's amazing how there was orderly chaos at the visitor center. I guess you could say it was part of the experience. 🤗 Lots of people from all over happy to be there. 👍

Nice ONE
Love this video. You really took time to video the whale sharks. And its so nice to see tourists from east asia coming back to the philippines. They use to come in big groups before the pandemic.. hope their countries will also ease up travel. Love japan! Been to all the place you’ve been to. And also busan and seoul. Can’t wait to be back.
Wow great video mergin meet a lot of friends and enjoying in moal boal with whale sharks 😍❤️👍👍👌

That is a massive whaleshark.wonderful adventurem
Absolutely Massive whale sharks :)
So glad you finally saw those gentle giants😁 Keep up the good work, Mergim😁😁
Luv this episode, raw & spontaneous
Thank you :)
EXCITING TRIP YEA?! ENJOY PH WATERS, MERGIM. AND YOUR CO-PASSENGERS..
I experienced both OSLOB and DONSOL in Sorsogon (BICOL REGION). and I must say I prefer the one in Sorsogon aside from whale sharks are free on the wild. What's exciting about is that you get the chance to be on the open waters and dive run with them. Unlike OSLOB obviously they used it for attraction and whale sharks aren't that big and healthy... so if you want more exciting, run and dive with them in deep waters I recommend DONSOL. worth every experience. take note The whale sharks can be big as BUS.
Couldn’t agree more with your comment. Unfortunately the way they do it in oslob feeding them , interferes in their natural way of life, fixing them around the waters of Oslob
Weh, Donsol sucks. More expensive and a 50/50 chance to spot one. 👎So stick those bus-size whale sharks on your butt!
Awesome
Nice!!!!!
Nice vlog, Mergim. It's like a virtual trip of the whale shark watching experience. I hope nobody took your shoes. :)
Thanks, my shoes were still there :)
Thanks, my shoes were still there :)
@@MergimVlogsYT Hoping the glue job is holding up.
@@MergimVlogsYT Cool. Good to know. :)
They're so majestic.
These benign creatures love to eat :)
If you plan to go to Bohol, there's also a place you can encounter whale sharks. It's in Lila, Bohol.
Epic adventure
I’m jealous. That’s in my bucket list.
I hear ya.
Great day
That was amazing!! Thanks Mergim
Nice episode! Great footage of the whale shark. Hope your shoes were still there at the beach.
Nice vlog mate
Great footage! ❤️
Thanks
Wow amazing day ❤️
It was :)
I wish i was there ❤️
Amazing!
Let me share this! Thank you. Great undersea photography.
Great company with all Asians. You were with Thai, Japanese, South Korean and Filipinos watching whale sharks. Great video 👍
Thank you Mergim for this....I enjoy much...ingat...
Cool
New sub here...thank you for promoting ph...and for being a nice person to us..
Wow!
Mergim -- I hope you have more footage of the ride from MoalBoal to Oslob. I google earth drove it. Was it that beautiful along the coast?
The sunrise by the coast was rather nice :)
My Hometown-OSLOB
Impressive
Wow what an experience ... so nice to see you underneath the water so close to the shark fish.. definitely this one will memorable for your adventure... and you have interacted with people of different nations in your stay there.. Take care bro
Noti gang🔔
Yayy :)
Nice vlog Mergim, many vloggers came to Philippines but I think you've got the most detailed and nicest content though. I'm from Cebu, explore more north of Cebu's islands.... That funny Japanese girl, cute ❤️....😅😅😅
I once swam with them too in oslob still one of the best experiences
It’s a great experience :)
@@MergimVlogsYT truly is also go check aguinid and tumalog falls
That so fun Merg. The Whale, and the people with different nationality.
Now this is the MAN!!! Awesome video
Agreed 😂😂😂
I stayed in oslob last aug 16 to 18 this year for my airbnb. unfortunately, I wasn't able to experience whale shark watching because of limited time. But, thanks to your vlog I get to know some info. Will definitely try pretty soon. Continue to discover more best places here in Cebu like mainit spring in malabuyoc, aguinid falls in samboan and also tumalog falls in oslob which I was told it is only 2 km away from the whale shark vicinity.
