- Why I'm STILL Here! | PHILIPPINES BOHOL
The Plan was to stay in Bohol, Philippines for a week. I have stayed in Bohol, Philippines for a month so far! In this video, I explain why I have stayed in the Alona Beach area of Bohol, Philippines for so long while giving a tour of the Alona Beach Area of Panglao.

Thanks for watching!!
The "no video upload" silence was worrisome. Comforted to know you're well now. Because your aura is very welcoming, Filipinos picked up on that and seek your attention. You, being friendly & kind won't ignore anyone thereby, you stop whatever you're doing to ensure no one is feeling left out. You treat every person equally. THAT'S A VIRTUOUS CHARACTER TRAIT RARE TO ENCOUNTER in our society today. Glad to see it exists in you, Jonathan. Thank you for teaching us all HOPE IS ALIVE.
It has been awhile! I've spent a lot of time editing this other video I'm still working on, which still isn't finished, so I posted this in the mean time! I'm happy to hear that you view me as friendly, someone else here in the comments thought I was rude in this video. That was not my intention. Thank you for watching as always, Dolores!
Jonathan, pay no attention to the negative comments. You don't need their validation. Just be your true self and Filipinos and generally good people of the world sense your genuine soul and kind heart. You win people's hearts effortlessly and the naysayers are those you don't keep nor waste your precious time with. There are so much darkness in the world today. Watching your videos is one activity I look forward to patiently. It's a respite from the sadness of watching news on how people mistreat one another. I hope you can figure a way to INCREASE your video UPLOADS. It's a favor sincerely very much appreciated.
thank you so much , Dolores! All very true! haha, I'll definitely try to post more often!
AGREE!!
I definitely agree.
Dolores, you are good in describing Jonathan.
It's amazing how you already learned many of our dialect words and actually used them precisely. You're really living the Filipino way already
Jonathan, you`re so friendly and so humble, you dont ignore those peeps seeking attention. MY favorite vloggers you and "becoming Filipino" those smiles is soo kind. KEep safe always.
I love hearing this!! Becoming Filipino has awesome energy! Thank you so much!
Hat's off to you sir... Caring for animals in need while explorering got my respect sir... Thank you
Sometimes you just can’t leave them there to suffer. Thank you for watching!
Admire you for being patient with people!!! It shows how you love what you do. Keep smiling!😊
I really do love it!
Kudos to you kuya Jonathan for being friendly to my countrymen and showcasing what our country has to offer. My only hope is that you get to visit our mountainous region in the north of the Philippines which is Baguio. It is a very perfect place to spend summer it is even called The Summer Capital of the Philippines because of its cool climate and very beautiful sceneries. Wouldn't you want that see another side to the Philippines and not just beaches. More power to you kuya 👍
No need na sabihin yan. Alam na nya yan before sya pumunta sa bansa natin. Majority ng mga turista na pumupunta sa Pinas (mapa-blogger man o hindi) ay nag research yan sila kung anu-anong lugar ang dapat puntahan sa Pinas. Maybe one day ay aakyat yan ng Baguio City.
I laughing all the way people are friendly and you just smile watching you from Florida.
Hello there Jonathan. I'm a new subscriber to your channel. I originally came from Philippines, born and raised. I'm here in Chicago cuz Roseland Hospital petitioned me as a nurse. It's nice of you to try to learn some visaya and tagalog words. I'm missing the beauty of my birthplace and through bloggers like you, my homesickness is somewhat relieved. Philippines is undiscovered and under represented. Thank you so much. You are doing an excellent job of showing the world the beauty of Philippines and its people. God bless and more power!
The Filipino peddlers are not pushy, that's one thing I am thankful for. You say no, they leave you alone and don't run after you like in Thailand and Cambodia. Btw, I myself, have just recoverd from being sick and I was positive for covid. I had fever, cough, cold and sore throat for more than a week, it sucks!
Good to learn that you have recovered from Covid.
@@ronnienestor Thank you, you're so kind.
Vietnamese peddlers are so annoying and pushy.If others see u buying from the other peddlers they will aggressively want to buy from them too
Young man be safe all the time.
Glad you recovered. I'm excited to see your upcoming videos. Stay safe and healthy.
Thank you! I’m glad I recovered also! 😂
My american friend, His name is Jonathan as well, he visited Bohol last 2 years ago, now he's living in Bohol until now😂 He was stucked and loved the place. Visited Bohol last February for the first time and I really2 love the place. Even considering living in there. Been to everywhere in Bohol, seeing your videos makes me really miss Bohol💕😍😍 Thank you.
Me too Sarah, I love Bohol. I was there last September and October and definitely will be back next year. Thanks Sarah 😊
Kuya Jonathan, I recommend that you include the Loboc River Cruise on your itinerary while in Bohol, it will be a welcome respite from the daily walking on the town under the heat of the sun. Loboc river cruise is very relaxing and the fee is reasonable and already includes a buffet meal plus live music while you cruise. Perhaps you might want to check CZcams videos of loboc river cruise so you have a good idea of what you are getting into.
Happy to see you back blogging! I'm glad you’re well now. How we missed you!
👋hello from San Diego.🥰
It's amazing you winded up there!!! I think what's unique and special about your blog and of course you- was that you were able to connect with complete strangers who were not the biggest threat. The fact that these Filipinos, including me, are having their simple lives with regard to what life is, being able to take care of what's necessary in life, and beyond that they are easy to approach. That smile you got from locals represents the Filipino character and it is what I have missed right now, in fact writing this comment made me feel like planning a vacation this upcoming year!
No matter what...We never stop loving you
Great video keep up the great work... and have fun..
I love that crystal clear kayak! Definitely gonna try that when I go back home!
I'm glad that you're okay already. Congratulations on your 55.6k subscribers. I'm very sure that the number will go up because your videos are very worth watching indeed. God bless ❤️
Great vlog mate bohol looks nice really great place enjoy
One of the things I learned when traveling years ago is that while it's okay to tell people where you've been, NEVER tell them where you're going next, or when.
This is smarter, to be honest
Can you please be more specific? And can you share your experience(s)?
@@AbaYHUHisKing If you need to divulge your travel plans let it be to someone you know and trust, not to a world of strangers.
Almost everywhere you travel one of the most common questions is "how long are you going to be here?" Why do you think that is? For some it is simply a matter of curiosity, for others a gauge as to whether or not there will be opportunity to profit from their interaction with you. And, for a few, an opportunity to rob you, knowing you may no longer be available after a day or two to follow up with the authorities.
@@AbaYHUHisKing I think they are referring to safeness. It is to avoid danger like people who wants to stalk Jonathan and do harmful things. He is a vlogger so there will be a time that a crazy person will do anything to get his attention and stalk him or something. Those kinds of things will just be a pain in the ass and will cause a lot of trouble with your plans. Meanwhile I agree with the comment, he is also a vlogger as I've mentioned and followers of this channel will always want to know which destination he is going next. My advice for that is a smarter plan, you can tell your followers where you are going next in your videos but only once you have left that place or about to. Like uploading the videos late. But it really depends on him. Whatever suits him best.
@@TB-xx4gc I agree. I thought you had a personal experience and wanted to hear all about it.
Jonathan living his Best Life! Thanks for the videos
Absolutely loving your videos, I've just booked a Philippines tour, after watching this I know what I'm doing in Bohol for my 5 days that will now be jam packed with acivities
Salamat po Jonathan for posting your videos it’s often educational and very helpful regarding status on the country 🙏😊
I have just started watching your channel. You seem really nice, humble, and respectful person. People will love you over there because of that.
Hi Jonathan, good to know you're well. Stay safe and God bless.
Hey there ! Thank you so much for this video. I LOVE the Philippines and Filipino people. My wife and I are visiting Bohol in August. I can't wait!!
Your videos are awesome very informative I like the unpredictability of where you go and what you do awesome job
Thanks for this update video on your stay in Bohol. It is a bummer that you got sick there but at least you are not on a time crunch to leave. You have probably met and communicated with more people in the Philippines than in any other country that you have visited.
Very true about the lack of a time crunch! I couldn’t imagine having only a few days for a trip here and then getting sick for the entire trip. And yes., hahaha, I without a doubt have met more Filipinos than any other country 😅
We wish you a nice time here with us and a lot of success and reach with your VLOGS 👍👍👍
classic dude.....your positiveness is great for a change
Happy TO SEE NEW UPLOAD JONATHAN ✌️👌🙌👍👍👍 GOD BLESS YOU AND BE SAFE ✌️👌👋
Jonathan, great content and wonderful close insight to the Philippine reality!
Been following you so the time for our trip there just shortens!!
Also, great little gems you found in Panglao!!
Keep up, and keep safe!
Hi Jonathan! Nice to see you again.. God bless stay safe and healthy! 🙏💕
Nice to see you are back vlogging. 😀
It’s been too long since I’ve posted, but I’ve still be filming lately! Just have to edit 😅
A very clear water 😊 Thanks for sharing your amazing video
Filipinos love the camera. You are so courteous by asking them if they want to be in the camera. The general rule here is “we want to be in the camera unless told not to do so.”
I’m glad to see enjoying & happy during your time in Bohol.
Jonathan you are without a doubt an excellent blogger. My wife is from the Philippines, and we are moving to Bohol next year. We would love to meet you and buy you dinner. You also are a fantastic unofficial ambassador for our country.
Nice feature. You’re a wonderful person inside and out. And so caring to animals too! Wish you good luck and good life!
You're one of the friendliest Vlogger, that is why Filipino's likes you much. No wonder I don't see any of your vids, careful what you eat around as well. Keep safe!
I love that most of what you do is spontaneous 😊💕
hahaha.. that kayak was definitely not planned!
Oh oh: what a nice name. I actually wanted that name as “pseudo name” but dropped the idea
Oh oh: what a nice name. I actually wanted that name as “pseudo name” but dropped the idea
You’re Awesome! Enjoy your videos!
thank you for watching!!
@travelescape thank you for the videos of my home province
Im new subscriber here from Cagayan de Oro, keep more videos coming, thank you for featuring different islands of Philippines , i enjoyed watching your channel.👍❤
Hello! It's a great thing that the locals are not snobbing you. They always show you a welcoming smile and a word of welcome. This is such a beautuful and enriching experience instead of taking it as a distraction to ur vlogs. You are dealing well with them when u respond to them.We find it more fun when we see u mingling with the locals. So... They're not distraction but they are an importnt part of ur experience and being in the phil. Where else in the world can you find such hospitality and welcoming smiles of people? All the best!
Hi Jonathan nice to see you back.
After recovery, another totally random day in the Philippine countryside = Content (who knew? haha) Awesome to see you back in your element and for the the kitten updates.
You could also have asked the gracious hostess/es for the nearest clinics or even a swab test should you need one while you're there (if you hadn't yet off-cam). Stay safe as always.
What a beautiful soul...for taking care of the kitty👍
I just realized one of the reasons why I like your videos is that you just go where "guidance" takes you.
You are good looking and good- hearted man. Keep the good vibes on! Ayo ayo
So dope to see this video ! It’s was cool running into you in Bohol. So random haha the California couple keep up the awesome videos
I love meeting viewers!! Thank you for following along and enjoy your time here!
Oh I thought you have found a Filipina gf🤭 I miss your vlogs already ❤️ I think I need to go to Bohol now😁😘❤️🇵🇭
😂 no no… we just met! Unfortunately, I’ll probably be leaving soon for the next adventure!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL Hahaha your title and thumbnail got me confused 😆 good to know you’re still single 🤸♀️🤗❤️
At least you’re getting a taste of being a rockstar!
Hahah, I think all tourists probably have a similar experience here!
Great to know you're doing Well now Jonathan. 🙏🏼👌🏻
Thank you!
Jonathan awesome beach tour and meeting locals. Funny that they still catch you on a kayak and still chatty hehe..😎👍🇵🇭🇺🇸😅
Awesome 👏
I am still hoping to watch a vlogger go to Batanes. It is a perfect destination for you and I’m sure you will love it. However, the weather should be perfect when you go there.
Enjoy!
I'd definitely recommend Coron, Palawan! Thanks for another video my man!
thanks for watching! I can't wait to go!
Injoy watching your vlog.
thank you so much for following along!
I haven't been in Bohol and while watching your vlogs it was amazing and now I planning to visit Bohol soon. Thanks Jonathan.
Thank you for watching! Hopefully the videos have been helpful!
Awesome!
Ayo ayo! and Amping permi! 💪😊
Lucky kitten that you brought back to good health ... Good man, Jonathan
Thank you Jonathan, it is beautiful there in Bohol. It is one on my list. Wow, look at that clear water. Yes, visit chocolate hills and the tarsier monkeys.
Yep! I have to see those little furry friends!
New subs here. Keep your spirit, sir. I am from Bohol, enjoy our natural beauty. Keep up!
Thank you so much for the support! I love your island!
It's good ur rest well keep safe bro take care 👍
Oh my! You are in my province of Bohol. Made me miss my place, and I am here in cold 🇺🇸.
Must be fun!
It seems that ur enjoying Sir
I love it here!
Your probably the biggest reason I’m headed over in January. Thanks a ton Jonathan 🎉‼️‼️‼️
Maybe I’ll run into you
✌🏼🇺🇸‼️‼️‼️‼️
Thanks u enjoy staying in Bohol n just enjoy..God bless
You are so good to the locals! And how are you surviving the heat and humidity? When we visited the Philippines two weeks ago, it was so hot but I love going to the beach at 6 am because the weather is perfect at that time. We went to a sand bar in Camiguin at 5:30 am and the weather was perfect! It’s amazing! But when noon time came damn! Too hot! 😂😂😂 take good care and keep the videos coming!
Noticed you just walk past Best Western, was just there 2 wks ago attending our annual family gathering. That beach area is a blast and so nice to spend an afternoon on.
I've watched a few of your most recent videos, but decided to start with Bohol. Friends and I are headed to Bohol (and surrounding area) for scuba diving. I'm also seriously considering moving to the PI. Been to Luzon 6 times as a sailor in late 80s/early 90s. Looking forward to checking out the past year.
Looking forward for the next one ….especially in Loboc.
I can't wait to see it there!
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL Yes absolutely, you can still stop at the house if you want to.
Take care brother! -from 🇵🇭
Cool bro 👍
i love Bohol we spent 3 nights there last june such a great time and friendly people
It’s Nice when you’re just walking without any plan. End up with a nice tour!😊
Honestly, some of my favorite videos had no plan 😅
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL 😎
This family is diversified ..many businesses 😃👍✌😎
I enjoy watching your video ..salamat❤😊
Heck yeah man. Love when you upload. Thank you for another tour!
thank you for watching!!
Crazy coming across someone vlogging about their experience in Bohol as I'm staying here at basically the same spot. Been already to chocolate Hills and seen the tarsiers, you'll love the experience I'm sure. The Irish pub is also great, fantastic atmosphere so nice to hear it get a shout out
Nice videos I am a Pilipina living in Germany with my loving Dutch husband
That lady is beautiful. You should court her. Filipina’s are the best.
Hey, new subscriber here welcome to bohol sir enjoy🥰🤩
nice I will be there in 2 weeks
Those are good and practical options. Touring Region 7. Central Visayas: Bohol, Cebu, Dumaguete (the city of gentle people where a lot of expats live) and Siquijor. Then off you go to Mindanao's Palawan and Coron. Then off you go to Luzon area. Ilocos region .
Ayo ayo kanunay Sir Jonthan.. amping always.... Filipinos loves you♥️♥️♥️ I'm from Siquijor Sir...
Dumaguete has a lot to offer also. There's cold spring in Valencia, then hot sulfur's going to Pulang Bato falls. Try to visit Apo Island also, best diving spot. Malatapay market, Zamboangita, is the starting point going to Apo Island. I miss the turtles there, and the limestone☺️, and the current of water going there, a wet adventure due to water splashing on the boat hehe. There's also dolphin watching in Bais and Manjuyod Sandbar a.k.a Maldives of the Philippines. Bird sanctuary and Mangrove Park. There's also caves to explore in Mabinay. Balanan Lake is Siaton. Enjoy and keep safe☺️
Wow my beloved province.
are you from Panglao!?
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL no....from Alicia...
My family is from Cebu, but glad to see other islands in the Philippines 😅
LMFAO he really took a kayak just to vlog in peace 🤣🤣🤣 I must say, you are very patient even when people are constantly distracting you. Have you always been a patient person or did you adapt this from travelling?
😂 and yet I still got distracted by people on boats 😂 I may have adapted by traveling for so long.. I’ve been a foreigner/traveler for nearly 9 years. I’m used to it!
That's good for you too!, If people talk to you while talking or vlogging just be polite and friendly eventually they will be your followers or subscribers.
Bro she is! ❤
Hope we run into you this coming Christmas in Bohol Jonathan.
very possible!
You got to visit El Nido and Coron, Palawan! Those two are the most beautiful places in the Philippines
I love you Travel Escapes. I like you. Im from Malolos Bulacan.
I'm glad your feeling better you should always bring some medicine with you when your traveling because some sari sari store will not carry those kind of medicine.take care❤🙏
