It's better if it's simple, not the one where almost everyone is wearing a bikini. You can see their v_g_n_ right thru. The place has lost its decency. They have turned the place into a westerner atmosphere. The Mayor should make beach rules. It's just my opinion.

actualy siargao they called it break away place because some locals dont need internet for thier vaction , a vacation no tech no office work, just full fun

I think People who does these comparison between Bali and Siargao are forgetting that Bali has decades to get their infrastructure to work on and improve. With Bali's proximity to Australia helped a lot. Aussies been visiting Bali since the 70s as the surfing destination. The main reason is because it is cheaper to travel to Bali than to travel around Australia.. Siargao on the other hand is a very recent tourist spot. Give the island a couple of decades only then the two islands should be compared.

We Preserve the authenticity of our islands as it is. As a paradise! It cannot be a paradise if it is not a nature made, to the likes of a digital nomad. You can stay in Bali if you like there. Our islands are for people looking for an escape, a haven from a world of complicated confusing battles of accumulation of everyday life!! There are lots of touristy islands that can be good for your particular liking!!

SIARGAO IS FOR ME THE BETTER...ITS AUTHENTIC NATURE AND REAL ISLAND LIFE

Siargao is a new and rising tourist destination, It is like comparing grandpa and grandson

That's the problem of many tourists comparing each country. The thing that they don't understand is CULTURE. It's just a matter of fact that other culture don't prioritize this and that and on the other hand they do. Even if you go island to island you will see the differences. Even us Filipinos not native to other parts of the Islands sometimes feel culture shock because of diversity.

I would say, I prefer resto or Coffee shop no internet at all. I observed that everyone is more busy with cellphone than concentrating to savoir the food or coffee. These places are not for staying longer that what it is intended to offer. You eat, dine and go, let others make use of your slot as they may also in their way after eating or dining. Though it's harsh for me to say, but then everyone you go Turing becuase u want to enjoy the place not sulking on ur phone.

both are DIFFERENT VIBES AND CULTURE THEY ARE BEST IN DIFFERENT WAY

No comparison island has their own beauty😊

I want Siargao to be more "exclusive" and not be opened to more tourists.

for me, what's indicative is how the final choice was made, despite what you pointed out as the very german, organized, logical way of looking at things. it seems like if it was made with a point system, bali would be the chosen one. even you looked surprised by her choice, at first...although you did agree, too. again, what i see is how it's indicative of what people, in general, look for in our lives: balance. while, of course, there's value to very systematic, logical and efficient way of doing things, humans aren't robots or purely AI and there's the very real need for a robust social aspect...that real interaction with a real community and real people...the very real need to have real conversations and interactions.

beautiful places in the philippines are intend to enjoy and relax and self reflecting no needs for gadget thats why they dont have stronger wifi vacation in the philippines means enjoying life with out gadget enjoying with the comfort of family and friends with a beautiful places enjoying life to the fullest.

Bali is bigger than Siargao. Bali land area 5,780 square kilometers Versus Siargao 437 square kilometers Bali can ba compared to Cebu Cebu land area 4,944 square kilometers. Although Bali is bigger land area but Cebu has a city and one of the best airport in Asia. Awarded recently as best airport in Asia under 5Million passengers category.

Comparing Bali and Siargao it's like comparing apple to orange.

True is hard to compare bother places. It's just depends what you like, sometimes to get away from the city life and Untouch natural place is better. The less technology the better, to relax.

Siargao face in pacific thats why its more beautiful.but lots small islands in phil that not known by tourist

When im done here in germany, Siargao would be the first place im goin to visit. Uwi na talaga ako ng Pinas🇵🇭❤️

Nelly also is a tourist fan of Bali as her other homebase😊😊😊

They compare so you're aware what to expect whenever you travel there. Especially with first timer traveler going there. Etc.. And your expenses, the culture.... From those comparisons those places can see these videos to better and improve and have ideas on what people think of their place, any places

Siargao is just recently develop and touristy spot compared to Bali. What I like Siargao is not crowded not a lot of people. But Siargao is developing tourist Island.

Lucky for everyone heading to Indo, they could embraced unique culture of Bali, wondering it's thousands of temples, surf it's ultra consistent surf breaks. And whenever they feel like to surf with smaller crowd of close friends and family they could go to Mentawai Islands, with way better beaches, way better surf waves than Siargao, amazing and polite traditional locals (ones that do not necessarily dancing wildly on the bridge with bikinis despite being biological mens😂😂😂😂)

Nelly, you did an excellent job, as always, with videos. What I like about Bloggers is that they feature videos like this that discuss tourist areas' advantages and disadvantages. This is an excellent channel to tell the current administration to improve things. The Philippines has recently launched several initiatives to promote the Philippines as a tourist destination, but there has yet to be anything regarding internet connection. It is true that. 'IT IS MORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES' BUT NOT INTERNET CONNECTION (in some tourist areas). This is a complete and honest title, so tourists and visitors will only expect some things to be correct. I will echo what Nelly said. SMART AND GLOBE WAKE UP!!!!!!! As bloggers can see and hear, she still chose the Philippines despite its internet flaws. I love the Philippines and, of course, Nelly. Even though I live in the US, my heart still belongs to my hometown, Manila.🥰

Why compare Bali which has been a managed tourist destination for nearly a century already, with Siargao which is only emerging as a destination of note in the past 10 years or so only? Definitely Siargao is still raw in many respects, even if it has some luxe side to it. The tourists that should go to Siargao are those that prefer the simpler, authentic destinations that offers more direct connections with nature and with people, rather than those looking for comforts and other stuff in 'contrived' set ups. Bali is decades ahead in commercial tourism. But personally I wouldn't want Siargao to rush, join the rat race and go for the numbers game, at the expense of its environment, social values, natural allure, etc. I prefer a more laid back vibe for our islands. I dont want to 'destroy' my country and my people in the name of big bucks. I think a certain number of mass tourists will definitely help our economy, but too much can be detrimental. To tourists, you are very welcome to the Philippines - we will welcome you with open arms. But pls don't make demands for experiences you enjoy elsewhere. They have their allure, we have ours. And know that we cannot lure you at all costs. But we will try our darned best to improve our services as best as we can so you enjoy every moment with us. But if you are impatient and are looking for something else, its ok to come later.

Those coffee shops that don't provide internet, most probably, they are avoiding people to lurk ("tambay") in their shops for the longest time and only ordering a cup of coffee, leaving no place/seats for other customers who will later enter the coffee shop. You know us filipinos, we are too shy or too polite to send people away and let them know that they need to leave the coffeeshop if we will see them working even if they are not ordering anything. We will just choose to avoid the probability than to face a difficult situation. So, this is really bad for business owners. Just saying my opinion about this situation.

I prefer a laid back Siargao and no masses of tourists! Mountains? You may go to the southern part of the island of mindanao Mt. Apo is waiting for you and if it’s too high you can go back to your favorite mountain in Bali! I‘m glad if all the tourists just stay away from Siargao 😂
