- On this week’s show Carmen visits the island of Siargao in the Philippines, 2 years after the surfer’s paradise was devastated by Typhoon Odette to find out how it’s bouncing back. On her journey she visits one of the few places in the world that’s home to the stingless jellyfish.
what i luv about the Philippines is that it is soo underrated but then its good so its not overly populated with tourist and that the islands are somehow kept pristine, Siargao is on my bucketlist
Very true!!! Especially El Nido... when I was there few days ago I am so happy that it is not super busy and lots of tourist, there are still tourist but not overly crowded which is good since everyone can enjoy the island and its beauty.... :)
Thank you BBC for featuring one of our country's nature wonders. Big help to our tourism industry. We are grateful.
the human drone is no doubt the best part of this episode..
Thank you for visiting and featuring us in BBC travel show.
Im filipino living abroad for almost 16 years.Im amaze how beautiful my coountry is..Can't wait to go home for good.
Even us local filipinos were amazed how beautiful our country is, not only Siargao but each of every unique islands has to offer.. 🇵🇭
Maganda kaso maraming crime nga lang. Kasi tayu hindi safe sa bansa natin
Kahit Saan Bansa may crime, Tayong mga tourist kailangan din maging responsible.
@@pinoy1970 agree. Pero mas malala ngayun kumpara sa time ni President Dueterte. Yun lang napapansin ko.
Talaga ba? Compare sa mga kapitbahay nating asian cities gaya ng Singapore, Bangkok at Kuala Lumpur, napaka baho at napakadumi ng Maynila. Yang palawan, siargao etc. masisira din mga yan kalaunan sa kababuyan at kamangmangan ng mga pilipino sa pangangalaga ng kalikasan. Asa ka pa dyan
@@wahtusy3519 may mali ba akung nasabi?
Your fellow Brits, CZcams vloggers 8 Miles From Home (husband, wife and daughter)went through that horrible experience (typhoon) but they persevered like true Filipino resilience and never left the island. They fell in love with the island and still reside there as of now.
The human drone genius ❤
Thank you for showcasing one of the Philippines best islands. I like the host, shes both bubbly and humble
Siargao was also affected by the Magnitude 7 earthquake a few days ago and possibly still feeling the aftershocks there. I hope everyone there is alright.
Thank you BBC for featuring the Philippines on your show. Mabuhay!

15:57 "Watch Yo Head!" - says No Helmet Guy.
some beaches are hidden, or hard to access the island especially in mindanao, there's pink beaches, and seafood island etc.
Its restricted and Palawan has more restricted and protected area.. some has wild crocs and sharks, snakes and other wild life aside from than some Guerrilas
When i search in other site i also search bbc my favourite show
You might consider the rodeo festival in the island of Masbate this April 9 to 13, 2023.
I love it, ... new subscriber here watching from Taipei...
i love philippine mangroves especially when it served with spicy shrimp paste
you mean mango not mangroves😅
❤
Filipinos are just too intelligent just for everything
except for mathematics, science, and reading comprehension, landing at the bottom ten out of 81 countries
Except when choosing their leaders lols
It's the reason why it's still a 3rd world country in 2023 for a reason 😅
"Human drones?" ..... ONLY in the Philippines.
Stop... It's cringe... We're not the only ones being capable of that...
Lets just be a responsible tourist to not dispose trash.. segregation of plastics and waste.. preserve natural resources and just promote natural local food
love the human drones hahahaha
I miss The Lonely Planet Show
What is that seed on 4:10?
is this show still going on? 😮 many, many years ago, when i was still in school. i looked forward to watching this programme on the telly.
i even remember henry golding being one of the presenters. pre-crazy rich asians.
.
The travel show never stop
You mean BBC channel this is BBC travel…
The question still uncertain, when will the Philippines prevent the use of sunscreen with toxic chemicals.
until western brands and imports are banned
When they become cheaper for consumers?
Pray for Shairgo Island 🏝 they are experiencing a small --"er" typhoon. New video put out this morning by
"8 miles from home "
This was 2 years ago . " 8 miles from home" another CZcams Channel has a well documented video of typhoon Oddette 2 years ago. Very un nerving.
i love bali but i prefer siargao not to be the next bali. keep it simple, local cuisines and keep the island vibes!!!
Filipino Bayanihan is Solid Sometimes Haha... 😂😂😂
2:00 better go soon
They should construct thick concrete with wind resistant architecture.
2:50 "Little over a year." And yet, uploaded 7 days ago, exactly TWO years after Super Typhoon Odette / Super Typhoon Rai. When was this show broadcast? And why is Philippines the only country that gives a Second Name to every Typhoon? It's wild!
Because most of the names are in Chinese where in fact, China is not getting hit. The names are also in alphabetical order so we know what number the typhoon is. Odette, for example, is the 15th typhoon of the year, hence it starts with the letter O.
@@genrerationx Interesting. So, is it only a China Vs. Philippines thing, or any other country do this, too?
@@seaweedhero1707 I don't know about typhoon naming in neighboring countries but Filipinos don't like Chinese names as they ar hard to pronounce and sound the same, especially people's names.
The PH typhoon naming system is unique to us since we get so many typhoons. The first letter of the name signifies what order the typhoon enters the PH Area of Responsibility. The first typhoon’s name would begin with A, then B, and so on.
@@genrerationxBut it’s not all Chinese names though. Some are from other Asian countries.
Philippines is so rich of natural resources termed as third-world country. She doesn't deserve such term. 💖🇵🇭
Unfortunately it is truly a third world country or a less demeaning name, a developing country. Developed countries for your info have very good garbage collection system, water system functions well, no tricycles all over the place, traffic lights are everywhere. Most houses and buildings have aircon if it is summer and heater if winter time. No traffic in developed countries, roads and highways are clear because there are police officers that make sure traffic will not be caused by people. Sidewalks are well defined, paved and smooth for pedestrians in developed countries. The Philippines is truly beautiful when it comes to nature. I went to visit Moalboal and Oslob, Cebu, Philippines recently, those 2 places are incredible for me. More beautiful and memorable than Bali. Bali was developed so many years already and so the government and private sectors had planted flowers and beautiful trees to beautify Bali while Oslob and Moalboal are truly nature, however the Philippine local and national government had not developed both places for convenience of tourists. Garbage and litters were seen everywhere close to the tourist spots. The roads and side walks leading to the tourist spots were not paved well smoothly and definitively for tourist's convenience. The local government was only after collecting fees but were not beautifying the surrounding places close to the tourist spots, very disappointing. Tourists will not spend big money to go see trash so hoping the local government of Oslob and Moalboal will remember it. There are thousands of places on earth to see so the local government should improve those places all the time. It is the source of their income and their people.
3:51 does she not get bullied in the area? That last name is really funny for the people in the area.
Her apelyido is Outen . Almost oten. If you know Bisaya you know what it means.
And you are so damn proud of your dirty minds.
Hahahah😂
Oh tinda ko
TMI
No. not next Bali...the people in Siargao satisfied with what it is now...they don't want it like fully developed like Bali...coz the island life vibe would be gone.
Big companies are buying land and the politician alvarez also
justice for Diego
There's a dark side to the island that not many speak of. Many expats come up missing every year.
???????
@@ibyanglontok4488 You won't see this info on the brochure. Do your due diligence.
@@ibyanglontok4488 War on drugs
hmmm
Please, not the next Bali. Keep Siargao away from toxic Western commercial dirt.
Yep.
Exactly my thought
True!!!!! We love it as it is... so like El Nido... I dont want it to be like Phuket or something... over tourist is not also good... :)
Not the next Bali. Just look what happened to Boracay. Tourist, business owners and politicians in Aklan abused Boracay island.
It is beautiful here. Im currently here now. Yes it is very develop, but still super beautiful..
Its already restored, cleaned, developed and regulated. Its like a modern nature now, what are you talking about?
Whatever you say, boracay is beautiful.
Indonesia is the undisputed most beautiful place in the whole world!! 🤪🤑😜😁🥴
Try to search "the most beautiful islands" and you will see
...yeah, its the hot spot for party goers who only lnow jellyfish as a cocktail, n appears to be more tourists than locals threre ..party on dude ..., sure the rollin' cash is makin' local happiness too...
Sheer-gaw. Is that what British pronounce the island in question?
She's Australian. Can tell from the accent. But noticed she's generally not too adept at pronouncing non-English words and place names in general. Not all Australians would pronounce things the way she would. In standard UK English, it would be pronounced as "See-ar-gao" or "shar-gao" when spoken at speed: not too different from Philippine pronunciation.
In the Philippines some priest have fathered children and the catholic church and the legal system does not do anything about it.
What are their names and the names of their bishops. Are you a deceiver?
bbc should cover the PH govt next. much more interesting 😂😂😂
Eh, Philippines isn’t all that…
The PH is a newly developing country not a full developing country. Lots of islands need rehabs. Tourists should not adventure in underdeveloped areas with negative comments. Even developed countries have bad areas. Remember it’s still partly underdeveloped country. Just stay in good cleaned beaches unless they want to adventure in places not ready for tourism.
calling it the next Bali is ridiculous. Unless they mean it will be over developed to accomodate vloggers who will flock to the island. Soon, it will have more vloggers than surfers. It is a very beautiful island. But it is not half the charm of Kuta, Sanur, Seminyak or Ubud. Bali is studded with glorious temples and iconic Balinese architecture and landscapes. This had a few things that are best Demolished. It is a nice island. But it needs to know what not to rebuild the next time Mother Nature decides to be a cleaning lady.
Well, it is helping the nation's economy. Be happy.
Somebody sure is cranky. 😁
I'm always amused of your comments in every contents like this😆😆😆
He is always negative about his comments on the Philippines. Each island has its unique charm. But he likes to compare each of them according to his own truth.
@@JunBermz Especially liked "according to his own truth". 😎
Every time a devastating typhoon hit it's back to zero again on agriculture, tourism and businesses that's why countries who doesn't experience this natural disaster became rich in their tourism
It’s like bali with english speaking local.
