COLORFUL FILIPINO ISLAND VILLAGE - Beautiful Muslim Community In Balabac Palawan

THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE MOST COLORFUL AND BEAUTIFUL ISLAND VILLAGES I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED...
Balabac Palawan is home for many Filipino Muslims. In this case, we found ourselves immersed with the Sama Ubian on the island of Bancalaan. Our friend Tamin from Tatak Balabac Souvenirs invited us to visit his family home. This video is one of the most beautiful travel experiences I have ever had in the Philippines. We hop on motor bikes, cruise around Bancalaan, immerse with the locals, and appreciate the vibes.
Driving into a local sitio on the other side of Bancalaan... I was blown away by the colorful houses and vibrant community. Everyone was beyond welcoming, beyond positive... this Filipino Muslim community here inspired me so much.
Take a local journey through Balabac Islands with us...
And this colorful Filipino island village!
Power On!

    Beautiful island and sitio. From the looks of many of the houses there, it seems to be a more affluent community. This island would be worth a return visit one day. You should bring Therine one day. It's always fun to see how the kids react to your presence and follow you and Kumar around. Lots of smiles and good vibes!

    Kulas, the way Pinoy sits with one of the legs up on the chair or bench is like the Japanese influence in the Philippines during the colonial days. Now, I saw the Koreans are doing the same thing, too. Enjoy the ways of the local people. The kids love you and follow you around wherever you go. Thanks again for sharing your experiences with the different islands of the Philippines. Take care of what you eat along the way. Diarrhea and vomiting are easy to happen. Good luck and God bless. ❤🙏

    One really has to show respect to the community you're visiting. Engage with them. Reach out to them. Learn from them. And all of this can be done without being intrusive. And when you show your good intentions and they see that, they will welcome you with open arms and like a family. And this is what I really like about Kulas' vlogs. Watching you always. 🩷🩷🩷

    There are lots of people from Tawi-Tawi because back in the war 24 years ago on the conflict. The people move in Palawan. And 23 years ago there was a conflict in Palawan were the missionaries kidnapped in Dos Palmas resort in Palawan it was Gracia and Martin Burnham. And Oto is Tito for Tamin and Indi is Tita or Ate in Tamin. It sounds like hindi in Tagalog which is no in Tagalog. They use 4 stroke motorcycles already they don’t use 2 strokes anymore because it is pollutant 🏍🏍 And Kumar has the high motorcycle 🏍 And the soil is sandy in Palawan. The sand is from the beach actually 🏖🏝🌊🌊🌊 Like in Tarlac and Pampanga and Zambalaes the sand are from the lahars of the volcano it get’s in in the road during rainy season 🌋💨🌧🌧🌧 And 33 years later the sand or lahar in Pampanga and Tarlac can be still seen in the rivers and grassland the volcano erupted 33 years ago 🌋💨💨💨 Same in Palawan that there are sand from the soil I believe when it rains the sand get’s in the soil 🌧🌧🌧 Which is come from the beach 🏝🏖⛱🌊🌊🌊 And you and Kumar had a pilipit which a twisted doughnut 🥖🥖 It is good with coffee 🥖🥖☕️ And you had a fried noodles that you can put a vinegar on it 🍜🍶

    And there are lots of Muslim in Palawan because 24 years ago on the conflict the Muslims from Tawi-Tawi moved to Palawan during the war conflict. And 22 years ago in Dos Palmas Resort in Puerto Princessa there was a young actor died in the resort in Dos Palmas who was Rico Yan. And they heard him groaning and they thought that he was just snoring because they know that he snores really loud. And the actor named Dominic Ochoa woke him up he was stiff and lifeless already. And when they rushed him in the hospital he was pronounced dead on arrival.
