Filipino Fishermen SHARE THEIR HARVEST! Going Home! Batag Island to Leyte

I'M BACK IN PINTUYAN!
And in this awesome town almost at the tip of Southern Leyte, it's off-season for the whale sharks - so the community of Brgy Son-ok that usually relies on tourism is now totally focused on fishing!
And it's a good harvest today - so they shared a couple of fish with me!
But we start in Batag Island, and its 1907 lighthouse - this purely concrete construction was part of the original plan to light up the entire archipelago from the south to Manila, and still stands tall (it can resist 200kmph winds!)
Then an earth trail to Amoguis Beach - which turns slippery in the rain!
The next day, back on the craziest boat I've ever taken (they know what they're doing!) and the wooden ROROs before heading around Samar's coast and over San Juanico - in the rain!
My destination is Pintuyan - last time I was catching pygmy squid, but this time of year they're only catching fish - especially mackerel (matambaka)! With a good harvest today - they gave me a couple of fish to grill!

    Great vlog! We admire you for your patience and for trusting the Filipino system of transport (crazy boat rides) which is a bit risky. Sometimes we fear for your safety but we're always relieved and happy that you end up safe and sound. Thanks for taking us back to Pintuyan. It's a lovely place.
