Kulas, Baler Bay was the location site to one of the greatest Hollwood movies ever made...."Apocalypse Now" starring Martin Sheen, Robert Duvall, Marlon Brando, and Harrison Ford. Baler Bay itself was where Robert Duvall said the famous line "I love the smell of napalm in the morning" as war helicopters hovered over him on the beach. Francis Ford Coppola, the director, paid the Marcos' government to use their military helicopters for the scene but they only had a window of 3 hours to use them. The locals saw the actors and crew surfing during the filming and adapted the sport after filming wrapped up and that's how Baler became known as the surfing capital of the Philippines! The entire movie was filmed on location in the Philippines. Pansanjan River in Laguna is where they filmed the final scenes with Marlon Brando. Years later, Martin Sheen's son Charlie Sheen would return to the Philippines to film the Academy Award-winning movie "Platoon".

Is therine the only owner of this business or is it a govt owned?

Love your content. I’m a Filipina-Spanish born and raised in Hawaii. I have never been to the Philippines! Some of my siblings and I would like to visit one day as we are getting old. Your filming gives me a glimpse of where we could possibly go. Truthfully, I’m not even sure what part of the PI my parents came from. I think my mom is from Vegan. We are Ilocano. My father was a sakada hired to work in the sugar cane industry. Thank you, I thoroughly enjoy watching you blend into the culture, and am envious of your language acquisition.

Support the uyab Catherine = Therine! Power on Maragondon!

Baler is where the surfing culture starts in the Philippines because of the hollywood movie Apocalypse Now by Francis ford Coppola. It was filmed in the 70s in Baler bay and they left the surf board they used in the movie and the locals adapted the sports and that's how it started.

That Baler beach front looks like it's somewhere in SoCal until you go ground level and realize it's in the Philippines! Therine's a natural in front of the camera on TV. Must be all that vlog training/experiences she has gotten throughout the years in BecomingFilipino.

Good day kulas Im always waiting your vlog. Amping kanunay brod.

Thank you so much for all the beautiful photography of the Philippines

I love the earrings of Ms.Therine.Have a nice day Kulas .

Congrats Therine, its awesome seeing live on television.

Have fun, Kulas. The production crew is very cool.

Hello kulas, watching from Don Carlos Bukidnon❤😊Power on, I've been following you, 2 years, and counting❤

Wow, I'm happy that Likhamg Maragondon has been showcased on tv so with other traditional products from Mindanao which I believe are more often seen. Looking forward to watch the clips if not the whole.video of your filming project. Alley Cat! Nice name of that restaurant . Little story : My former employer's beautiful cat name is Alley, because she's been found in an alley. No one wants to claim her and the Animal Society said it's okay to adopt her. Hence, she's been my profile picture since.

Cheers from San Diego 🤙🏼 that's my friend's sister and nephew 😁

That's just child safety neglect. Don't glorify it

BUYANI is a combination of 2 words, BUY and ANI (Harvest)

I was in Baler once with my friends from the records bar to take a swim but the heavy rains discouraged them taking a swim and so I swam alone on the beach taking on the big waves at that.

WOW! Pako I miss that. I haven't eaten that for a refreshing salad, for a long time...

great video watching from dumaguete city

Hi Kulas😊 Damo nga salamat san imo oras pa picture sa mon @Resorts World Manila with your baby-love (without hesitation when we requested)👌We’re so glad to see you in person … mga subscribers mo in Samar (who are FilCan citizens residing at Vancouver, where you came from 😮)

Baler has a great stage drama cultural community❤❤❤

Kulas if you remember the Russian vlogger Andrei which you had met at the airport; that hotel is where they also stayed before heading to Davao City.

Proud fiancé there. 😊

❤❤❤❤❤❤

My aunt young sister of my father who are living in watertown new york she almost 30 years over there but she never forget filipino language.

Kulas try to go to Dingalan Aurora, take Magsaysay road in Nueva Ecija, then Gabaldon, the view is so scenic there, then go to the viewpoint in Dingalan at the grotto , it is very beautiful there.

Looks like you're doing a surfing film productions. Last time you were in Siargao, now here in Baler and for a guy who did not surf.🙂

Mannnnnnn from Surigao to Baler that quick... 🤙😊

Filipino dialects and Tagalog are so cool. I know Tagalog and I'm glad I can speak it (so proud of myself 😊) and want to learn visaya and other dialects as well. Those Filipinos/Filipinas that can't speak Tagalog or don't even try. Well.. too bad! To interact and speak to Filipino locals in Tagalog or a filipino dialect is much more fun than making them speak to you in English 🤨

Buy = like english to purchase. Ani = harvest. Buyani is a play on the word Bayani, which means Hero.

How sad and funny that the Filipina had to have Kulas translate for her. It’ll be good for her to rediscover to her roots. 🇵🇭I am inspired how you are so immersed in our culture. Daghang salamat!

A beautiful provincial surf town

KULAS , EVERYBODY LIKES YOU IN THE PHILIPPINES , WHEREVER YOU GO . . .

Baler Aurora should be promoted as a surfing area of the Central Part of Luzon. We need more foreign and local tourists to be here not just cramming on Siargao.

Sister nakakahiya ka, the naturalized filipino is telling you what is umbrella in tagalog. Kahit born and raised in other country try to teach your kids our national language. Some parents are paying for their ti learn multiple foriegn language Why not start with basic, don't have to pay.

Those were some Daniel Marsh style cinematic shots at the beginning of the vlog, brad. The production crew look like such a fun bunch of people to be around. Congratulations to Therine and Likhang Maragondon for being featured on that TV program! She deserves all the recognition she gets for all the work she puts into Likhang Maragondon.

Thats what happen when your trying to learn so many dialect at the same time. You confuse words from one dialect to another. Bisaya for thigh is 'paa', in tagalog its 'hita'. Bisaya for legs is 'bitiis', in tagalog is 'binti'. Bisay for foot is 'tiil', in tagalog is 'paa'.
