@@GunterD1337 Personally I never gave a crap about Starbucks but I have the impression that Starbucks in the Philippines is like the Nintendo Game Genie. Filipinos seem so fkng proud to sit in there and have a coffee. It allows them to dream that they're white Americans.

Another hardcore tour but an amazing one again......thanks for taking us along Tom! 👍👍😊

Fair play Tom, good to see some footage of the poorer areas. Appreciate you taking the time to show that side of the Philippines. Such a country of contrasts.

I love what Tom streams the real people of the philippines.. not places like dumagetti which seems to be just full of Americans. tom gives us real insight into the real culture of the philippino people. the poor are actually the rich in humility.. not egotistic and false. great video tom love your work.

Reminded me of where I use to visit when I stayed in Phillipines great people so poor but welcomeing and friendly though dangerous night time stay safe

Good to watch Tom you give importance to underprivileged people and make their blogs. Humanity first. 👌❤

1st time watching your solo stuff, great energy. And I appreciate where you go and what you show. The nitty gritty side. I am a Brit living in Cotabato City in Muslim Mindanao, so I very much see and live this side of the Philippines that most don’t see, and I very much prefer it!! Good work and good luck.

A great comment Michael👍👍

Bajaos are water nomads, kinda like water Gypsies. The government of the Philippines supposed to protect them financially (obviously with very little). They usually have elders that you have to speak to before you go in and video. Usually these kids will swim when you throw coins into the water that is what they were trying to tell you when you were by the water... Its a very cool and historical story behind them. Definitely worth the read.

Great video Tom, glad you are back there. You give a unique perspective

They are good people ♥️ i remember years ago when my family had vacation in cebu before mo dunggo (arriving to the pier) they will ask money and we throw it away into the sea and they will swam even it is so deep. Badjao is very good swimmer even a 5 years kid they could swim already if im not mistaken ♥️

Hey Tom. What an experience going there by yourself. It's something to be seen for sure Tom with lots of helpers to guide you. We are up north on Bantayan Island for 4 nights at La Playa Estrella resort

Another real, straight truth bloggs! Great job!

Thank you Tom for showing the other side of Beautiful Cebu ,yeah! It's crazy and busy community but residents are friendly ,the kids are just curious to see a foreigner Roaming with Camera,what a simple life yet Happy. If there's any member of Local government Unit watching this video? You can do more for the Beatification and Cleanliness of this Area.

I live way out in the provinces near Badian. While we burn or bury our garbage, many just throw it down wherever they are. On the 150m walk from the road to where our houses are there must be thousands of COVID masks alone. The government can try all they want, but unless the people want their environment, and especially their home environments cleaner, it would be a useless proposition. I am making a little difference by educating my neighbours, and especially the children, who are far more trainable, as to the multiple negative implications of trash everywhere.

@@Kevins-Philippine-Retirement Spot on, Kevin. The issue is the ignorant, lazy people. The government is not responsible for how the people act. The people just don't care about their environment when they see no future. They just drink, partake of drugs, gamble, have sex, produce unwanted children, steal and search for food and shelter. Then the cycle repeats itself and gets increasingly worse.

It's a difficult life for many Filipinos but it is good to see this side. They are still happy, welcoming and friendly. Certainly wish help could be extended by the government so they can have better conditions around them.

I’m pretty confused by the wealthy in the Philippines. I understand there will always be poor but one purse could go toward building real sustainable businesses that could employ poor folk. Instead some just buy super expensive items as if the function of a 2k purse is different from a 5$ sturdy cloth bag.

Very nice of what u are showing. Nice to see video like that. Keep up the good work Tom.

That was insane! Thanks for checking that place out, looked pretty full on.😎. ✌

love your videos on philippines man. im addicted and Im gonna watch them all 1 by 1 :)

So many of these places here in Cebu.. you gotta love the smiles. Cordova is another interesting place by the sea. Enjoy your journeys..stay safe

Wow, I couldn’t walk through there. I would be a nervous wreck. I would like to be fishing. Those people seem so happy, happier there than all the rich people in the states. I wish I was younger.

Wow! This is amazing. I am Filipino and lived in Cebu for 20 years in the 80's and didn't even know this place existed until I saw this video clip. I have heard of Badjiao people there and I thought they live somewhere farther down rural areas. Watching this clip made me realize that some people really live in their own bubble and I'm one of them. Or does everybody live in their own bubble in many different ways?

Great vlog take my hat off for you 👍❤️

This is an amazing vlog, would have it even more if you could have spend more time with the local.

Another very interesting place. Even though they don't have much they seem very happy. That was quite the gang of kids you had following you around. It is just sad there is so much trash around these areas. It is very interesting to see these kinds of place and how people live

Great Vid incredible sceneries' WOW~~~~

Great video Roaming Hogan, kids are amazing🇺🇸🇺🇸

Great show thank you Tom

Best upload yet Tom. Can see how much colour you've put on your face too since leaving Ireland. Big contrast to your body bro. 🙂

Thank you Tom for showing us the other side of Cebu. Hope the mayor and other govt. Officials do something about that place specially the cleanliness of the area. I pity those people. Be safe and healthy Tom. Take care of yourself. I think the govt. have no idea about their situation.

Very good to see and bad people who complain about there lives should go to theses place and see for themselves how lucky they are , Filipino still smile and greet you

Thanks again!

Amazing theese kids are so small just floating around on there own

hello! sir Tom, oh! I never thought this place excess in Cebu. thanks for showing us the deep side of Cebu that everyone seem kind of your present there you here negative comments about individual that lives in low proverty are bad people if you not from there. 💕🦋 Texas

There's really good news regarding that area. Mike Rama the mayor that just got re-elected has big plans for that place. SRP is going to be a major business / leisure spot in Cebu, with the new bridge done, investors are going to flood that area. That said, they're going to have to clean up the place at some point, and Mike Rama is already fast tracking plans for socialized housing and beautification of that area.

Badjaos are not natives of Luzon or the Visayas. They are from the bottom south part of the Philippines, mainly in the island provinces of Sulu and Tawi-tawi. They moved to Luzon and the Visayas to search for livelihood. I think they are still part of the larger Moro ethic group.
