My Dad's LAST DAY In The Philippines (British Family's Thoughts)
MY DAD IS LEAVING THE PHILIPPINES.
It was an emotional last day as we remembered the trip and even the years before. But it was a worthwhile one all the same.
From Filipino classics for lunch (what does my dad think of bagoong?) to pasalubong to searching for fruit out of season, and of course my dad's honest thoughts on the Philippines!
It's an emotional goodbye - and until next time!
From Davao, a few days later, I moved onwards south with my Australian friends (@travellingsticks) and David aka Bell Boy (@TravelingTutor)
We're headed to T'Boli for a few days where we met David No.2 - the man, the myth, the legend!

Hopefully your Mom too in the near future! Your Dad's words saying how happy you are now KD made me cry. He is the happiest Dad ever witnessing his son's journey.

I felt that way too; I was in tears (of joy) watching and listening how precious his son's condition now. May they back someday with Daot's mom.

That very short statement from lolo daot 😢😢😢
I'm very happy when your dad says to you; that the last time you were in, YOU ARE IN THE DARK SIDE. NOW, YOU ARE BACK AND NORMAL AGAIN, very precious to me ! I'm SURE while on the plane GOING BACK TO UK, HIS HEART is jumping for joy.. You might have added 40 years of extended life to your parents.

"the dark side" means something completely different in English.

@@ziggarillo It all depends on the topic. Try to digress what it really meant.
I feel so sad for Kumander’s father who was probably trying to conceal his tears while leaving him and his family behind. The Kumander himself although was laughing and smiling appeared sad for his father’s departure. Boun Voyage Sir.
You have been blessed with a caring and loving father
KD is full of positivity despite his past experienced.. Lily is a gift❤
Back to your old self is precious to me,, Awww what a beautiful dad could say to a son, Anselm you are blessed to have a dad who loves you so much… Hope he will come back again soon…❤❤❤❤

I think both his parents visits him last 2018,,
Glad to have seen your dad in your videos. He's very charming. Here's to seeing him again in your vlogs soon!
How good to see your Dad so proud of you and visibly relieved at the progress you've made in your journey to good health again, which I know he'll be so thrilled to share with your Mum. I'm so happy he had the time with Lily and to begin to develop that relationship with her, too. Lily really warmed up to him in a short time. I can't say it enough how cute she is, and so smart, too.
Your dad is so cool and he is happy to see you getting better. Hope he stay more longer to travel the PH.
We are all precious in the eyes of our parents. So, don't let them down.
British people are so kind ,they have a good heart .I remember I had a friend from UK he has a good heart.

I think the Brits may have other good body parts. Like lungs, livers and kidneys -- and Brits make ideal organ donors.

I really miss watching your videos kumander. You rarely uploaded videos this past months. Looking forward on your adventure in NV. You should have given grandpa one of lily's toy so he has something to hold if he misses his granddaughter.
Kd Cherish the memory, thankful your dad was able to travel the other end to witness what life you have become, some parents would love to do it but they can't physically. Hoping your dad and mom can come together for another memory.

Got me all emotional when he said how precious it is to see you doing so well! I may have teared up🥰 So lovely for you to spend that time together and for him to get to know Lily. Going to pop over to your friends channels, any content to do with the Philippines is always worth a watch. Dont get too drunk on that gin! 😜🍹🍻🍹
Tatay talaga! Papa visited the son just to check on him if he is ok… you are loved KD!
Have a safe trip to your dad back to UK
Spoken like a true Dad.
Kare-kare and bagoong go together like love and marriage; you can’t have one without the other.
🇬🇧 DAD's trip back to UK: * Fruits from PI are welcomed in UK, Kumander? I don't think fruits are allowed in US. * for your MOM: what items did you send her? I'm curious since you give the best pasalubongs, yet we didn't see any in the vlog. * Any bottled Calamansi to UK? * So, Anselm, will you be bringing your family to UK in the near future?
Grandpa bonding with Lilly ❤. Great seeing your Dad enjoying his visit with you😊
