- I DIDN'T PLAN TO COME HERE. And when I did, I was just looking for mossy forest. I didn't find mossy forest, but I couldn't get enough of what I did find.
A narrow valley floor, full of upland rice and vegetables, surrounded by forested mountains, the only outlet the Caraga River, and the only road in newly built. And plenty of Mandaya culture that I'm excited to explore more in the future.
And they certainly don't see many outsiders here, let alone foreigners!
The Sea of Clouds is first up, and we close with Tagbibinta Falls and some food! But Maragusan's true gem is in the next valley over - and I need to explore it more some time, with better planning.

I am a Filipino and living my entire life here in the Philippines but I didn’t know such place, I didn’t realize how big Philippine is until kumander Daot showed it thru his lenses, good job
Same size in terms of square mileage as my country Norway, but 20 times as much people!
Because he has enough money to travel around in the Philippines, unlike us that we have first to think if our budget can do such thing. Many of us including me are outdoor lovers, pero uunahin muna natin ang iba pang mga mas mamahalang bagay na pag-gagastusan.
I've been there twice as a mountaineer hiking in forests more than 20 years ago and I'm sure there's plenty of changes nowadays in that beautiful place.
Time to visit and explore your own country!
Korek I can only fully tour my own barangay😂😂😂
KD, you have the gift to be a good storyteller. Keep it up!
Right? I say that, too. 🙊🧚🏼♀️👍
You got nice content not covered by the other vloggers. Your channel will really grow. You are a natural story teller.
The school deserves some support, it would be nice project if we (the community ) get together and share some of our blessing through kumander. whatchu think guys?
Hope I can be back here again soon!
Good Morning Kumander
What's truly sad - KUMANDER - is that you don't see a BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY right in front of you... {VEGETABLES} - "the Prices Are HIGH in the CITY, and Low Here" THE WOMAN told you - all you need to do is set up a "CSA-type" system or just become a VEGETABLE DISTRIBUTOR - buy a van with a COOLER - drive out buy the vegetables at wholesale, and bring them to the city.. I'll bet you'd have half the VAN sold over FACEBOOK and to CZcams - locals before you'd even get back to the city.
Keep making amazing blogs brother
@@LevAgency those middlemen are incredibly powerful, that's the issue. They have a LOT of control and they are not very nice to those who try to undercut them.
Otherwise I would love to truck veggies. I've looked at doing it before. It's just... Cut-throat, sometimes.
Am a 75 year old follower of Zamboanga City. YOU are right, its not proper to do business re; the vegetables because this will give yiu enemies. I AGREE the Middle men dont like it. Anyway you ate happy exploring and still earning from your vlogs. You are friendly and respectful and thats what the natives like. Take care....
So special to see this beautiful, isolated valley before it changes. As you say, with the new road will come great changes, not only for the natural environment, but also for the people. I truly appreciate that you've made it possible for us to see this as it is now! 💯👍
Aloha at Mabuhay! 🤙
Wow a very good vlogger and a great storyteller. The content is very educational talagang pinag isipan.
Mountain roads n Mountain communities never seize to amaze me. Born n raised in PH n never in my dreams discovering places like these... thanks KD! Superb vlogging keep it up...
Ang galing diba!
It's awesome when a plan doesn't come together....and something even MORE AWESOME happens.
No doubt, you're beginning to be very good in documentary type of vlogging. Kudos to you.
Now this vlogging with CINEMATIC touch! PERFECT!!
Any galing po diba. So refreshing sa mata
@Alan Bularon Kumander Daot is into photography before he became a vlogger.
As usual, stunning drone shots from your vlog docu. You are truly Kumander Daot, the Explorer
KD you're bocoming more like mike corey/fearless and far of BBC only he's international but then you are the renown kumander daot of davao region. You have a way of your own which makes me wanna say you're unbelievably amazing!!!!
Glad to see this beautiful scenery, without Kumander D , I was not able to see this one , being a Filipino I’m proud of you Kumander D for exploring the beautiful place in the Country thank you.
Salute to you Kumander Daot. You know more of the Philippine geography than most of us Filipinos. it's a shame that we learn this from a foreigner who found love in this country. I love your narrative style with touch of humor. Very entertaining and educational! Please keep on! Thanks for showing us arround our own backyard!
The beginning. Lol. You crack me up. Wow. Amazing drone footage. Your such a great storyteller. Another enjoyable video. Cool tunes. Good vibes.
Thank you for sharing. Have a great week. To you. And Nhel. And your fur babies.
Kumander D, You vlog like an experienced documentary presenter. The music and video complement each other as in the movie. I enjoy and look forward to your vlogs.
I miss your UK vlogs but this is equally awesome. The food vlog is always interesting , And you saved the best part for last! Hahahaha. Look at you, 100k subscribers! Congrats, Anselm! 👏🏻 🎊🎉🍾🎈
This is a great vlog @Kumander Daot.
National Geographic level presentation 👏👏👏
I watched this without skipping the ads .. and i watched this twice 😁.
This area is similar to the Cordillera Region of the Northern Luzon although less mountainous. The mountains are also lower and easier to navigate than those in the Cordillera.
The Caragan valley is wide and awesome, almost like those in fantasy movies.
The musical score when you enter the valley ( time 6:30) is dope 👍 .. like the one use in GOT 😁
Nice one KD!
Kumander! You may have not find your mossy forest but I think you found a chance to explore anew location which I have never seen before and I was jaw-dropped by the scenic beauty of those places! Very awesome Kumander!
thanks for showing this remote places kumander and maybe some concern government agencies will hear the cry of the people in this area about not having electricity,maybe through your vlog thier cry for electricity will be heard more power kumander D...
Don't worry Sir, Maragusan is a first class municipality, they are not short of connections anyway. For sure this problem has already been figured out for resolution by the LGU, the mayor knows what is good for the people. I have trust in them, irrespective of political groups, as I haven't heard of any local official in Maragusan involved in corruption eversince. Salamat po.
Even just from the video, I can feel some of what captivated you about that valley. It’s a special place for sure.
Born to be a storyteller. Always amazing content.
Amazing road trip and beautiful drone shots over the mountainous area of Davao De Oro you have Kumander. 👍👌
Good day commander d grand pop always watching your blogs happy to see the new places You discover
Background music as well
Ang galing mo Kumander... Excellent storytelling voice, very good editing.. Keep it up
Thanks for bringing us to these places that are not visited too often. And thanks for bringing their stories out to us.
kD your intro background music is so dope.Just marvelous.
Wow what a stunning mountain drone shots Kumander D I love & enjoy it 😊 thank you for making an effort to bring us this kind of place which is absolutely beautiful 🙏🙏👍👍
Kumander Daut im so greatful of your vlogs in Maragusan wherein we were able to see the nice infrastructure of the newly completed roads and your vlogs so informative we appreciated your effort to make us know how wonderful the lives of the Mandaya... In the Philippines
never heard of this place you know you educate me well to see this vellage, the sea of clouds and the community, i like the highway in the middle of those mountains. though its still rough roads its give more beautifull place that someday it will be a nice tourist spots of DDO. amazing place😊
If you speak English only, this is by far, the best CZcams channel today, in the Philippines. These videos are the kind of videos that you will probably save or go back to as a reference to discovering The Philippines, especially Mindanao.
Amazing how you bring these places to life!!! 👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Your deep explorations to the untreaded paths are very educational. You reach audiences who never get out of their homes and never know about other places in their own homeland. Thank you, KD, for sharing your trips.
You're a really excellent storyteller. Keep up the good work
Stunning view. That sea of clouds is so amazing. Another great video Kumander D
I am very impressed by your drone footages. You leveled up you drone game to a new level. Keep up the great work Kumander
Wow those finger kind of balcony feels like in the movie😁
Btw, this vlog is one of the empression that mindanao is becoming safer and safer, hope that someday it will completly become safe for the whole parts of mindanao for the development and buisenesses can trive.
What an amazing place! Living for your unique storytelling!!!
Nice sight seeing, beautiful view in the middle of nowhere ! Loved it !
Really mystical, as you said. That valley including those sea of clouds are very similar to some parts of the Cordilleras in Northern Luzon. Thank you so much for exposing beautiful and interesting places in Mindanao, KD. Surely,we don’t just see things, your videos are equally educational. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I never skip an ad everytime I watch your videos. I love your contents and this is the only way I can support you. More blessings, Kumander!
Such a beautiful place! Thank you for sharing Kumander D. Again, your video is awesome!
Spectacular view. I remember my hometown in another island that have same view. But I agree with you KD that it is a mystical valley.
Helps you in a therapeutic way but your visits in these remote places are gems of blessings to us who lived in cities and a little bit off than they that don’t have basic needs like electricity and the like. Thanks for creating an awareness. God bless you sir!
Anselm . you go to places no one else has ever Vlogged ,that's why I like your channel so much fantastic valley untouched take care and thanks for the ride . :-)
Wow! Wow! Another story with a substance..
Mao ning DAOT nga MAAYO kaayo ang vlogs. Good Job KD! You are doing very good at this, please continue!
U can see the sunset very seldom in maragusan. I was living there almost 3yrs of my job...but I miss that place so much ❤️
So similar to Bhutan, albeit with lower mountains. Beautiful!
That place is a truly stunning. Wooow. Breath taking view indeed. Thanks KD.
Daot gani... 😂😂😂
Hi Kumander D, thanks again for this new vlog. Amping...
How We are so blessed by so many natural beautiful places here in the Philippines most especially Mindanao. Thanks to these Foreigners most especial mention to "KU

Breathe-taking view! Thanks Kumander D.
You are not only a vlogger but also a good narrator.

Another amazing discovery for K awesome very nice place ang friendly people. Thanks again K stay safe.
I just can't get over the fact that a foreighner is making me discover many beautiful places in my home country. Thank you, KD. Kudos to your beautiful vlogs of Mindanao. National Geographic-worthy always.
Thank you Kumander for a trip of a lifetime.a place I would have never known existed and I am an 80 year old Filipino. You found your calling, and it gives you peace and internal healing..I am sure the rest of your followers will join you in every step of your journey. Be safe and God travel with you.
A beautiful place, good morning sir 🤘🤘
So beautiful these areas and once again your narrations are very spot on. You have a voice that projects well. It reminds me of Leonard Nimoy in how well it projects. He was a great narrator also. Power on
You did it again, kumander!
Your vblog here had been a stress-reliever for me. Beautiful places here in my own country i never had known & hopefully i will cone to visit in time. Thank you for sharing...
Ang galing po diba...nakakatuwa
OMG, Absolutely beautiful and serene views. I love it when you take adventures like this. Another majestic discoveries.
Awesome 👏 view ,The sea of clouds ☁️ keep up on your journey Kumander Daot.👌💞💞💞🇯🇵🇵🇭
You’re the first CZcamsr featured the caragan valley place kumander. Well done. I wanna go back to Aguacan though.
I love this vid Kumander! Thank you for driving long and hard into this wonderful territory. It is indeed a mystical paradise. Excellent content. The vid is short and tightly done. Wow!
Wow! Lucky you that there is a good road now. That was the scariest mountain road I ever travelled on 5 years ago! Hope you can make it up to the uppermost part of kagan valley next time. Barangay Bahi. Headwaters of the caravan (kalinawan) river.
I bet that road was gnarly 5 years ago! I definitely want to spend more time there... magical place.
I love your descriptive narration! The sea of clouds was cool.. The roads through the valley must be really something for local residents. Must be great for farmers to transport their produce. Thanks for sharing your trip.
KD, this is indeed a very rare video which many are waiting for decades. Have stayed in Maragusan many times, but the local people told us very limited facts about Caragan Valley, as it is restricted to some degrees for the mansaka only, aside from being so inaccessible. But now YOU HAVE DONE IT!!! What a documentary achievement, you are the first to do this cover story with matching videos, and you deserve the highest award from the people and the Phil Govt. Salamat gyud kaayo.
I'm sharing your videos with my family and friends in canada i am in cdo 5 years now
I met kulas 5 years ago in 7-eleven one day i hope to meet you your videos are an inspiration thank you so much god bless
Very nice one! Hope someday we can go there!
There is really so much still to discover in Mindanao!!! All Filipinos should watch your vlogs.
Thank you for showing New Bataan, & Maragusan!
Just beautiful. Thank both of you so very much.
My favorite daot!! 😍😍
Awesome documentations. Nice one kumander daot.
Kumander D loves to eat soup most of the time. Love your vlogs especially the drone shots. 👍👍👍
Nice video and some info. Awesome job. Sinigang goat is good for curing hangover, KD likes it. 👍 Thanks for sharing.

Another very Informative Content KD and Amazing Drone Shots, Salute to you👍
Wow ang ganda ng landscape.
From your video it shows that area is more to do with farming, with roads being built the community will be benefited. A very informative video, quality of the video is very good, keep it coming. Thank you.
Kumander D, your blog is an excellent snapshot of the Compostela Valley or Davao de Oro. I’m glad that you featured a female vegetable grower and that you showed us the potential dangers of road building on the mountainous areas of Davao de Oro. 🌺🌸🌺
