- Philippines Most Underrated island?! 🇵🇭
As I've traveled around the Philippines for the past year, I have found both underrated and overrated Filipino islands. In my opinion, Siquijor is a very underrated Filipino island! The Philippines has 7,641 islands, many of which are incredibly beautiful, however, there's more to a Filipino island than just beauty. Siquijor island has a relaxed, welcoming vibe that is super comforting. Thank you for watching!

Been to Sequijor too earlier this year and it was great! Not as busy with tourists as some of the other islands, which was cool. Really liked that place. Missing the Philippines now, will be back soon 🙏
I could live here honestly! Good restaurants, and as you said, no crowds. Let me know when you get back man!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL Hi Jonathan I also recommend you going to Marinduque as well, you can visit Maniwaya Island and go to the sandbar, Poctoy Beach in Torrijos.
Hi kuya Ken ill miss you here i hope you back❤❤❤
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL truly underrated bro. But most of the foreign vloggers who went there was mesmerized. You should go also to camiguin soon after ☺️
Jonathan I think you misunderstood whoever you were talking to in that store cuz sometimes we Filipinos don't understand foreigners when you talk fast plus your accent is misunderstood
your kindness to that dog shows the kind of human being you are. Thank you
Not only do i get entertained with how jonathan tells his story about each travel but i also love how he genuinely interacts with the locals, especially the kids and sometimes even animals 😁
So nice to have met you. We love the way you treat and interact with the locals. Respect!
Hey! It was great to meet you both tonight as well! Maybe I’ll see you around again! Thank you for supporting the channel!
I’ve heard great things about that island. Bucket list for sure! I like that you speak some bisayan and your nice to the locals and stray dogs. I’m learning Bisayan too from my wife before we move to Mindanao next year. Have fun! Spread the love! Let’s help promote the beautiful Philippines and the amazing people! LETS GOO!!!🎉🎉🎉
Wow! That's an AWESOME WHITE SAND BEACH ⛱️ Clear Water 💧😮 Just so Beautiful Philippines.😍 🌴🌵🇵🇭🌿🌾🏝And Jonathan Thank you So Much for Giving Water on that Beautiful Doggie Much appreciated. Thank you, brother. Stay cool. 🐩🐶😍🇺🇸
I've been following this guy on his vlog trip.. Not even single video i got bored. His video kept me to restore my islander dream. Kudos to you Jonathan. More subs to come and more power. Safe travel!.
I love to hear that! Thank you for following along!
One of the reasons why Siquijor is not so popular among the locals is the stigma that the place is allegedly inhabited by witches who could put a spell on you. A lot of people believed that folklore but as you can see, it is a beautiful and enchanting island. I agree, Siquijor is indeed underrated!
very nice of you to give thirsty doggie a drink
He was definitely thirsty
I enjoy watching your vlog Jonathan. I am Filipino living in Canada and with content, it reminds me about the happy moments I had when I was still in the Philippines. Pls keep it up.
My friend I watched you from the start that was beautiful sharing your water with the dog just shows how truly you're a good man enjoy your trip mate much respest😅😅

You are making me miss Siquijor. I definitely need to return soon.
It’s such a great island!

🙂 thank you for watching!
Great video Jonathan as always, and you built up some good karma points with that thirsty dog, love it!!
Thank you for watching!!
Been to San Juan Siquijor 3 weeks ago. It was the best place for my kids they don't wanna leave the island when we are about to head back to Dumaguete. We are back now in Canada and will definitely go back there on our next vacation.😊
Yeah! It’s such a great island!!
The rain cleanses the air - the more I watch your videos the more I wanted to go home to Laguna Phil famous for Agricultural University and hot springs. We left 1962 and never been back since now @ 77 yo and the more I watch your videos the more I need to go. Thank you so much for your videos. ❤👍😊
Thumbs up 👍😂❤ very good weather and crystal clear water.... I want to swimming again 😁😍
Beautiful Philippines 🇵🇭
It is!
Wow my native and beautiful land ❤❤❤❤
oh you're from Siquijor??
@@travelescapesOFFICIALnot on that island, I'm from the northern part of the Philippines 🇵🇭 I miss my land so much, I traveled to some Asian countries and still my land is the most beautiful place and country, its all-natural, thank you for traveling in the Philippines 🇵🇭
I have to tell you a funny story about "magandang hapon" (good afternoon). My brother married a Filipina and I've had Filipino friends for most of my life so I speak a little Tagalog.
I used to work in California in a company that employed about 70% Filipinos. I went up to some Filipinas one afternoon and said "magandang hapon" with the accent on the second syllable. They giggled at me and I said "What did I say wrong"? They said it's pronounced "magandang hapon" with the accent on the first syllable. The way I said "Hapon" with the accent on the second syllable means "Japan" so I said "Good Japan" to them.
So every time after that I make sure to say "magandang ha'pon".
Hapon in Filipino means Japanese or people of Japan, and 'maganda' if used in greetings means good, otherwise it would mean beautiful. So using your accent, 'magandang hapon' actually means beautiful or pretty Japanese 😅
😅😅😅 It's really funny.
Yes watching your vlog. Doing good right and see more of your vlog ❤enjoy the island
Thank you for watching!!
What a great life able to see beautiful beaches whenever you choose! Truly great!
I’m very grateful to be able to do this!
so amazing! @@travelescapesOFFICIAL
Great Video, Thanks... Watching from Bantayan Island today which is really cool...
I’ve been wanting to go make a series there! Do you recommend it?
Cool vid bro... Siquijor is definitely a place were visiting... thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Hi Jonathan,thank u to visiting every Island,enjoy and more explore.Staysafe and God Bless.
I love that you have soft spot for animals.
I wish to live in Siquijor forever. Or anywhere where there's great beach and less people. 😊
I don't think she understood you. Or maybe she was just having a bad rainy day.😂
You got yourself a new hat, hahahaa!
😂 yep! One new hat, and I’m sure it will be destroyed within a week like the others 😅 … yeah, Maybe a misunderstanding or bad day haha
Wow 135 subscriber now hope it will be 1 million soon take care Jonathan
Nice beach enjoy your holiday! beautiful Siquijor Island.
Nice and thanks for the reach out. I will defiantly reach out when I head that way.
Going to SIQUIOR in a couple months!! Can't wait. Love your channel bro, crushing it off a GOPRO!!
You’ll love Siquijor! Yep! GoPro 9 is the best value for my money I’ve ever gotten considering it’s allowed me to create every Philippines video I’ve ever made!
I cant wait to come back home. So much had change over the last few years but theres just a different feeling when you step on the island.
It's good to see you again, I've watched your vids since you're 50k subs
Oh awesome! Thank you for following for so long!
Great videos thanks for all the hard work that you have provided also from Alabama Auburn definitely ready to move to the Philippines
Really awesome Island 🏝
Paliton beach was my favorite on Siquijor! In general I loved the vibes there!
Yeah! Super chill island in general
I'd love to visit Siqui soon!
you should!
The enchanted island of Siquijor. 👍
I need to visit a healer!
Thank you for your sharing your water with the white dog . Bravo
Vegan sisig?? Sounds so good I need to find this place!
Can’t wait to be on the beach in the Philippines this month 🙏
🥳 which beach are you going to?!
Siquijor is not just mystical island but a really stunning and chill island.
Sorry the store didn't welcome you and let you stay for awhile.
It’s so chill! That’s why I love it! Yeah, maybe there was some misunderstanding. It was just the feeling I got in the store
Yeah usually if they're not confident to speak English, they're gonna be shy to speak .
We need to find you a Mrs. Travel Escapes to go along on your adventures in the Philippines 🇵🇭 😁
Hey, do you plan on visiting the north of the Philippines? Like the mountains & rice terraces & such.
The Philippines is known for it's islands & beaches, but it's also got some beautiful mountains. It's a very underrated part of the country.
Your having fun and i wish i could go there bro
It’s a great spot for sure! Thank you for watching!
Awesome video
Thank you!!
Nice video bro!! Looks like a laid back kinda place, right up my ally!!! I love to check it out sometime. Thanks !
Thanks for watching! Laid back is definitely the way to describe this island. Some islands are crowded and touristy, this is not. Slight Hippy vibes as well
Great video bro
Thank you!
Thinking of heading over November December.
Where would you recommend for the best weather at this time ?
TIA
if the coconut is gelatinous it means it is a young coconut. The older coconuts have hard meat
That’s a nice beach
It is!
Hi Jonathan. I’ve been a fan. Its been a while. Nice to see your vlog. Love you from LA 😘
Thank you so much for following along!
Been all over that country lived there twice, been to pristine places Ill never mention, once word gets out it soon becomes no longer pristine.😊✌🏻
You should tell me in a private message 😂
Hi Jonathan, I love all your videos. How about the northern part of Luzon in the future?
I’d love to go up there!
Love your style bro 🤙
Thank you! I appreciate that!
We are also in siquijor now, would be nice to meet you👍
I’ll be around for a few more days!
I love these kind of islands. And the rain, on the rainy season it definitely comes out of no where.
Yeah, you always have to be prepared for rain!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL But it’s kind of fun, it’s like a cold shower on a hot day 😁
@@MrABroad exactly!
@@mjfern 👍
Jonathan just visit beautiful beaches of Batanes Island and Romblon
Your Very Lucky, Im Born & Raised in Phil but i never been stel ILOILO, Residing in Malaysia ❤
Ooo Malaysia’s awesome too though! I just posted 3 videos in Malaysia on my other channel! youtube.com/@TravelEscapesDetour?si=iJQzsdEruzXJ6Q4z
Thanks, Jonathan, for being so kind, especially towards God’s creatures and his children! I hope my people are as kind to these stray animals as you are!☺️
Jonathan find the three trees in the ocean there it is very beautiful and the snorklimg and diving is great there.b
Wanted to go there anyways, now it seems like a must.
Thanks Kuya Johnathan CU soon
it's a super chill island! Parts of Bohol can have traffic and tourism, but Siquijor doesn't really have that. I love Siquijor!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL ❤️
YOUR VIDEOS ARE AWESOME, CONGRATULATIONS ! ONLY MISSING TO PUT INTO THE TITLE " EPISODE # " SO WOULD BE MUCH EASY FOR FOLLOW UP !
Fellow explorer from Alabama here. Love the videos. Very inspiring. Thank you.
I plan to scoot around some of these islands starting later this year. Is there one that you suggest to start with? And which is your favorite island to potentially make home base, now that you have explored for a while?
Me and my wife arrived in Siquijor two days ago. Our third time… We stay at lala-o, Elnora del mar hotel, which is maybe 5 minutes from Paliton beach going south. Would be nice to meet for a chat. We love your channel!
Thanka for saying Hi Jo - just missed Alex when he was in Paliton Beach 😅😅
Maybe the best island in the Phillipines after Palawan. Super friendly people l! Not overcrowded by tourists. You can have piece or party like an animal. choice is upto you. One of the best restaurants in Philippines. Weather is usually good. You have beautiful beaches ( Paliton, Candanay sur, salgdoong , water falls. Just an amazing place to live a life!
I'm heading back to the Philippines on Saturday and the week after I am going to Siquijor. I'm looking forward to visiting as many places as possible, I love the Philippines.
Never been to Siquijor but definitely on the bucket list
It should be!
Philippines has a lot of underrated islands! That is a good thing?
I know there are plenty more!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL I just saw your Travel day video ~ I know you live in Bohol, But if you are trying to travel a place to shoot content ~ I would think about Cebu City or Lapu2 to set up to live ~ I live in Cebu PT coming in December ~ Cebu is a better jumping off place
Thanks we see you again
thank you for watching!
It’s our third time on siquijor
It’s awesome, isn’t it?!
nice thing you did for that dog God bless
Hope to visit Siquijor in the future 🙏
Hi Jonathan, Siquijor Island is indeed beautiful will all of the beaches and lush vegetation. Looks like you have to constantly be prepared for sporadic rain showers on the Islands.
I think the storeowner did'nt understand you. Say next time in Tagalog "Pwede makisilong?" Filipinos are always friendly and accomodating. Great video! ❤
Yeah, maybe they didn’t understand, but since I didn’t get an answer I didn’t want to be rude, so I left. Thank you for watching!
Siquijor mystique the island of beauty and witchcraft.
Nice
Thanks for watching!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL 😅😅😅😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
We hope to make it there on opur next trip. We thought about it last time, but we ran out of time.
Coconut is one of the super foods 🥥🍈
Yeah!
Hi jinathan have a great day
Thank you! You too!
Thank you for giving the puppy your water :)
If you wanna take shelter from the rain or the sun, you can ask people, just say "puede mo silong?".
No one will deny you.
Thank you for giving the dog a water🥰
We lives in san juan
I came here as fast as I could
awesome!! I love to hear that!
Handsome,added to the beautiful view ❤
I’m wondering if they understood you when you asked if you could stay at that place to shelter urself from the heavy rain . I don’t see why they wouldn’t let you .
yeah maybe they didn't understand. I think I missed something, but I didn't want to be rude and use their store if they didn't want me there. I just didn't responses when I said hello
Bro, I think the owner of the shop was kinda shy talking to foreigners for some reason. Her, having no response when you were asking permission to hang there for a while til the rain stops doesn't mean that you are not allowed to stay.
Always remember the filipino hospitality. 👍
HELLO JONATHAN HOW ARE YOU?
Wow Siquijor island again that looks clean and clear water than Boracay
Love siquijor ❤😅😊
So do I!
Your camera is very clear. Are you using 30 fps or 60 fps on your gopro?
I just use 1080p 30fps
Always choose the brown colored coconut,it’s tastes better than the green colored.
❤❤❤
Siquijor the Mystique island❤
Hey Johnathan, I am planning on visiting the visayas in November can you recommend any good camp ground to do some camping? I am not choosy but if somewhere on Bohol comes to mind can you let me know, thanks
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
