Filipino Hospitality Saved Our Island Trip 🇵🇭
Guimaras Island, Iloilo Philippines - Filipino Hospitality Saved Our Island Trip
1st impressions of Iloilo ➡️ • Iloilo - My New Favori...
Right in front of Iloilo there is an island called Guimaras island. My friend Joseph and me rented ourselves some motorbikes for the day and went over there to explore. After a short 20 minutes ferry ride from Iloilo we found ourselves on an island which, to be honest, wasn't that spectacular. But we experiences some awesome Filipino hospitality later on, which made this day unforgettable....

Filipino attitude it's really hospitality they will not leave you until the end especially even they can't eat as long as they can help people...this is cultural we adapt to our ancestor in ancient times..i proud to be a Filipino..
Guimaras is not known for spectacular beaches and tourist spots but for its abundance of delicious mangoes.

Yeah too bad Ken you should have tried their mangoes or at least visit a cafe that sells a lot mango flavored food and drinks. But there’s one spot that a filipino vlogger and her norwegian boyfriend went to and it was nice.

As you don't visit Boracay because of mangoes, so you don't come to Guimaras because of the beaches. Every place has its special things, what has to been known before coming to theses places. Actually Guimaras is THE best place for mangoes worldwide !!!
Oh gosh, a BIG shout-out indeed to all those friendly and helpful locals who came to save your day. Yeah, Filipinos hospitality at its BEST. Though Guimaras Island doesn't look that spectacular, but the help rendered would make it a memorable one. Thanks for sharing this off the beaten path adventure. Great content, Ken. Cheers Ken and Joseph.
That's how helpful and Smart Filipinos are and Guimaras island is known for their mangoes 🥭
It's my first time to watch this vlog. Thank you for visiting Philippines 🇵🇭,your right Filipinos are friendly and hospitable.
Its a Filipino culture to help one in need called Bayanihan. The mos famous bayanihan culture is when Filipinos help carry a house and bring it to a different location
No beautiful beaches but the people are great and kind 😆🤩😍❤️
guimaras island is not lnown for their beaches but definitely its a hidden gem of western visayas, been there several times and found nice beach resorts and cheap too you just have to ask the locals because google map is not reliable sometimes but mangoes is definitely world class
What a relief! And how kind the locals there!! You had such an unforgettable day, Ken 🥰
In the Philippines....If you need help, just Ask! The whole town or village will drop everything to help you. 👍
This was another interesting vlog highlighting the amazing hospitality of the locals that you meet. I felt myself actually waving to the guys at the end who sorted out Joseph's problem 😅 Stay safe and well 🏴🇵🇭🙏
Thanks Ken for sharing another great content. Loved it as always too.👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for showcasing the positive traits of Filipinos❤
Oh those colored ones you saw at the basketball court were just plain water mixed with food coloring. Just to make their Christmas tree more colorful and Chrismassy. Filipino ingenuity!
Lovely video again ken, you made it!
Ken,U experience the true hospitable,friendliness 'Bayanihan', trait of the Filipinos.they extend their hands to help you and your friend☺👍 Filipinos band together whenever someone need help.☺👍
You can visit in northern part of Iloilo..many beautiful beach there. Like in Sicogon Island and Isla Gigantes
that's how filipino's helping each other, just don't be afraid to ask for help if your in trouble when your in PH since all filipino's well known as most very hospitable and helpful......
Speaking of Guimaras, did you know Ken, that island is where the world famous mega sweet Philippine mangoes come from? Almost all 5-star hotels around the globe get their mangoes from the Philippines. In fact, try Magnolia ice cream mango flavor. It is made from real, as in 100%, mangoes from Guimaras island!

Oo nga masarap ang manga ng Guimaras PERO turista si Ken at ang dinarayo niya ay mga lugar na makasaysayan at merong magagandang tanawin o beaches - HINDI ANG GUIMARAS MANGO na mabibili mo sa Cubao Farmers Market. Magnolia ice cream nga na Guimaras mango flavored ay pangkaraniwan lang saan mang sulok ng Pilipinas.
Bro if that happened to you guys in the States, you’d be on your own. 😂 Filipinos amaze me to no end 🎉Lucky for you you were in the Philippines

Felt sorry for you two for what happened. Hope you did visit the famous beaches or did the island hopping in Guimaras. Actually there's so many things to discover in there. Hope you can visit the island again and please enjoy your stay in Iloilo. If may I suggest, you should visit Bucari, Leon for a change.
This trip turned into a true adventure. Joseph was spared.

Great vid
You should visit Gisi and the light house its the 2nd oldest light house in the Philippines, also white beaches are located in Nueva Valencia Guimaras , also another attraction there is the Wind Mill and try to visit the Mango Research center and Trappist Monastery. ou should also try eating Mango Pizza since Guimaras in known for its sweetest mango in the world.
It just a water with food color a simple and unique christmas tree decoration from locals
Ken, fyi the mango of Guimaras is the sweetest mango in the whole wide world according to Guinness world of records..
great people,nice new episode Ken.Say,are you coming to Phuket too during your stay in Thailand in Jan.?
There are a lot of beautiful beaches in the northern part of Guimaras I think, some are private undiscovered beaches, crystal clear water.
Take care my Idol Ken God bless 🙏❤
Hello Ken, hope you visit also Bacolod and try the best Chicken Inasal of the Phils. After that explore the beaches of Sipalay you will enjoy it for sure. Enjoy 😉
Great video ad always ! I really appreciate that you continue to put out great videos. I’ve said before that you inspire me to try to vlog and change my lifestyle to more happier pursuits. Can I ask . What is your method of holding the camera while on a motorcycle. Seems like you hand hold the camera and go from viewing you to viewing the road . I want to film from a motorcycle also … any advice would be greatly appreciated ! I will be in the Philippines 🇵🇭 soon ! 😊 Salamat 🙏
you have to go to alubihod... magic island in guimaras... reymens beach resort is a good one... highly recommended.
Mr.ken i suggest you visit up north especially in San Fernando pampanga for sure you can experience the Filipino Christmas experience because that is the christmas capital of the Philippines, yearly they have a giant lantern festival.
you should have a boat tour island hoping in very popular Gigantes Islands when you come back to iloilo.
Now this unique video like this a lot.
Visit Sipalay beach and mountains of Don Salvador Benedicto of Negros Occidental province
nice video on your experience in guimaras island....👍 just asking if that man with you is already permanently on your vlogs...?
Good day sir.. inside of the water in the Christmas tree was a colored water they put inside
If you are still in iloilo , try to visit Bavaria restaurant in Jaro. It's a German restaurant. Draft beer and sausages are so good.
I miss my country very much. I miss my family, family and friends
If you go in the municipality of nueva valencia you can find beautiful beaches
lovely, hope you come across with my relatives there in Guimaras hehehe (Fario and Gonzaga and Esmama FAmilies). I miss them and The Guimaras Island :-)
True Filipinos are the kindest people in the world...if vice versa Filipinos happened liked this in GERMANY 🇩🇪...MAYBE no one help for the filipino guy for his motorbike...
All’s well that ends well guys.
Familiar with Guimaras as have a place next to Talkong Island Marine Reserve so made me laugh when seen you turned right off the ferry rather than going left. It is though a beautiful place if you know where you're going. Great you sharing your experiences with the people, one of the reasons why I fell in love with the place.
I think maybe you should have gone the other way from the boat harbour .Anyway it was good the locals helped you out with the bike..The mango plantations would have been great to visit
what a great adventure
good friends,,, best in ilands hopping like puna pasayan magic iland and so more and ear sweet mango.. thats Christmas tree is coloring of creap paper, enjoy guys and discover more beaches welcome to my city Iloilo guys👍💪👋❤️🙏⛱️🚣🏊😄😄
Welcome to my hometown ken,did you try our sweetest mango?😊
Hi Ken, you should visit Tigbauan Iloilo, the bakchoy and taho there is awesome.
so that's we call a Real Adventure hahahaha.... not just the fork road also the " KEY" being locked ......you've just unlocked a new core memory hahaha
Sir come visit pangasinan, northern part of the philippines theres so many beautiful beaches here....
Idol ken, GOD BLESS PO!
Sir ken go to sun juaquin..or you will injoy so many beaches👌👌👌😁
Guimaras Island is best known for its sweet, succulent mangoes.
Those are just water with food colouring filled into ice candy wrappers. We used to make it into chandeliers to decorate our college dorms during open house events.
You are in the land of the sweetest mango in the world🥭🥭🥭👍
the ladies at 3:30 are so sweet. they are really a good local.
Visit reymen beach like boracay at guimaras. 😊
Ken you can try Siquijor it's an interesting island as well
If you're still in Iloilo Province you need to go to Higante Island, the best of Iloilo.
Good day and blessed u always. If you want to enjoy exploring here in NEGROS OCCIDENTAL AND ILL TOUR YOU GOIN AROUND OCCIDENTAL AND GOIN AROUND ORIENTAL...WE WELCOME YOU AND JOSEPH AS WELL. KEEPSAFE ALWAYS...
You should do the tour in Iloilo at gigantes island.
Sir ken you should try to visit our beautiful island here in Camiguin its a little paradise

Ken if you go there in guimaras island. better try Alubihod beach. That the better beach there.
guimaras is known for mountain trail biking and its famous mangoes.....it has its wind turbine to generate electricity. u just visited just 50% of the island...
Come visit Siquijor island near Dumaguete.mountain resort.
That's Sinougora Beach resort ❤ At Guimaras Island
So sad that you didn't try to taste the sweetest mango in the world! 🥺🥺... But maybe someday!😀😀
Hi ken,❤
Check out this Guimaras vlog by Dabble and Travel where they featured some of Guimaras' highlights including a hard to find beach. Contrary to what others are saying here, there are numerous beautiful beaches on the island if you know where to find them! kzread.info/dash/bejne/hH2eo7Knfqi4dpc.html
Well, you have good days....you have bad days..... This is one of those... Nevertheless, not exactly a bad experience...And you got some assistance from the locals here..... Stay safe , and take on the road..... Cheers mate!!
Ken, Guimaras island is composed of 5 towns. You can’t appreciate the beauty of Guimaras island with in few hours only. All the beautiful beaches are located in Nueva Valencia, Jordan and Buenavista. I just open a place called Guimaras isle agritourism park. The head teachers from Iloilo came to relax in there and they are very happy and said that our place is a paradise! There’s fishpond and beach to enjoy at the same time you can do boat ride going to our big fish farm. You’re very much welcome to stay in my place next time you plan to visit Guimaras. The best time is during the month of May which is the mango season where you can enjoy the sweetest mango in the whole world.
try marindique island sir the hearth of the philippines
hello @KenAbroad I think you didn't go to the best beach resort in guimaras.. If ever you can come back in guimaras I recommend this 2 beaches. First the Nature's Eye Beach Resort & Andana Beach Resort.. 😊
Have you tried BAVARIA restaurant? I don't know if it's still there in Iloilo but would definitely be a good idea for you to have a review of it. Btw, you haven't explored Guimaras that much yet. It's my personal favorite beach destination even if im also a traveller jumping places 😂
Guimaras island, is famous for their Mangoes.
5:25 those are food colors mix with waters. I think they’re having a small xmas party.

Interesting story, this video. Guimaras is for its famous mangoes, Ken, not beaches =D Unfortunately, you weren't able to cover much of the island or you likely would have come across interesting spots to have mangoes in a variety of servings. The day's experience is so unusual, though, nothing is like it. Thanks for the share ü
but you should try their Mangoes, guimaras mangoes are Top notch international quality. they have a different sweet aroma that even other countries import too.
You should visit Siquijor Island.
go to el nifo ken so your friend and you will enjoy the beach take care.
Next visit province of marinduque
Proud PINOY
Ken enjoy your eating and drinking imperador hehehe 😀😀😀😀
Hey, Ken! Let’s play football once go back here in Manila!!! :)
Go to Gigantes also
