UNIQUE FILIPINO BOATS on ACTIVE VOLCANO CRATER LAKE in MINDANAO (Lake Leonard, Davao)
I'VE BEEN MEANING TO GO to Lake Leonard for a while. It's a crater lake situated inside one of the Philippines' 23 active volcanoes, and the smell of sulphur confirms that. It's just nearby in Maco, Davao de Oro (Compostela Valley) province, and is downright awesome. And they have these GAKITS - bamboo, or PVC for heavy people like me - for paddling around the lake on.
The road here passes through an incredible valley, past the Masara mines, and the Mainit hot spring, an outlet from the lake, before becoming part of the crater rim.
After Lake Leonard, we go to Paloc, the vegetable capital of Davao de Oro, before descending into Maragusan proper, and the Aguakan cold spring. Cold water in a cold place? I don't know either.

I really admire these vloggers from Mindanao who do nothing but amazingly just showcase the beauty of Southern Philippines, what a great help to somehow change the perceptions of others who think Mindanao is chaotic and not safe. Btw, I'm from one of the little islands in Visayas but I admire Mindanao so much ♥️ hope to visit Mindanao soon!!!

You enjoy here ma'am:)
Someday I am going to visit majestic Mindanao! Thank you KD for showcasing Mindanao
You sound like the voice behind the BBC specially about Earth. Love to listen to your voice anyway.
Mindanao, the island that’s always been hated and feared by most. Then, “adventurers” like Kumander Daot and Becoming Filipino change the perception of those who do not live and or seen it. You and Kyle are awesome!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻These beautiful and naturally rich Island is mesmerising. Thanks for another amazing video. Next......
I've been here in the Philippines all my life and I never thought that Davao region is so stunning! So veey rich in natural resources. Thank you so much Kumander D for showcasing the beauty beyond compare of Davao! Mindanao, truly the promised land!🇵🇭❤❤❤🇵🇭❤❤❤🇵🇭
the drone shot while you were rowing in the middle of the crater was spectacular!

Beautiful!! Beautiful!! And beautiful!! Before, when I heard Mindanao, What' s come to my mind is abusayaf, But now ,what an amazing place!! Beautiful.
I am so impressed that the roads are so well built, never heard of before, always dirt track...certainly Davao/Mindanao has changed ...
It's like watching National Geographic Documentary. good Job Kumander D.
Love the road trip it’s my favourite that sulphuric waterfalls in crazy
Beautiful i wish im going there in the near future KD always safe your travel
Thanks Kumander, we went to Lake Leonard on the bamboo rafts, Mainit Vulcanic Falls for a hot shower, and Maragusan Sea of Clouds in Jan 2020, and it was nice seeing it again by drone! Also Tagbibinta Falls was also nice for a cool down. Nice one champion!
God create this beautiful nature .its amazing, your the best blogger KD, travel pa more show us pa more at other places around Philippines pra mag ka roon idea San kami mamasyal ..thanks
so nice. amazing Maragusan Davao de Oro formerly Compostela Valley. best documentation and stunning views by the drone. your legacy of showing it to all. Kumander S. you are MVP and a GOAV (greatest of all vloggers).
Congratulations Kumander on your one hundred thousand’s subscribers. We love you Kumander 🥰😎👍🏼🎉🎊🍾
Thank you for featuring our Humble Brgy. Sir. The vegetable Capital of Davao de Oro. :)
Use dry bag for ur daily go adventures. Protect your gadget always. Keep safe
I love your video format!! Documentary style 😍😍
Bravo! I need to go south in Philippines. I do watch your videos several times. Leave it on … on my tv. While I cook. Clean. Love your documentary videos of Philippines. Makes me want to go back. Your drone footage is great
I am always amazed at how someone from beautiful Europe can decide to live in rural, mostly impoverished area of the Philippines. I guess we always find something completely different from our normal interesting.
Hi great seeing your video's again on traveling and history of places you visit ,love these video's so much .
Congrats on your 100k! After this sure tourism will flourish there providing more job opportunities and airbnb's for tourists... well done K.D.

I am even willing to offer our house for the tourists to stay as long as they want - for FREE. My grandmother has a house that can accommodate at least 10 pax at a time.
So that's how beautiful mindanao is. Shame they never taught it in school. One day, i'll be enjoying those MAJESTIC VIEWS personally. Thank you for sharing your amazing adventures to us and showing us how mindanao truly is.

Lovely places indeed in Davao de Oro! What a surprise! This province is good for eco tourism. Thanks Anselm for taking us into nature trip, including your food trip! Padayon KD!
This video reminds me of once visiting Tagum City sometime around 2010 or so. We went to a hot spring mining town just outside of Tagum City. I don't remember exactly where it was, but there was an old natural hot spring resort. We got there too late for the hot spring pools but the river was very warm. It was a nice adventure.
Aguakan Cod Springs seems like a lovely place to visit. I like the way you presented this. You never know what you're going to see next.
Wow Mindanao your such a bounty beautiful place,.. Thank you sir Anselm kumander D.and congrats d 100 hundred thousand subs.to celebrate and more & more to come... Padayon!!!!

Astonishing views of Lake Leonard and Maragusan! Great video. Always enjoyable! And that cassava cake and eclairs from Tagum are amazing! Please just don't stuff yourself too much!
Kumander D., I love your style of vlogging because if I happen to miss watching the picture at the moment , at least I still catch up to what he was narrating about.

I like your videos it is very informative and educational to see different places in Mindanao...Hope you have the best of health ....Shout-out Luchy Naval from. Cebu...
Me think that you've found your paradise. And your LOVE for the various places is so palpable. Me think that you will find it difficult to ever depart from where you've found your paradise. Love your videos....American- Pinoy here on the West Coast of the USA.👌😁
Casava cake is good. I made a deluxe one one day with all the best ingredients. Cheese and young coconut in the mix. It was so moist and thick. 👍 I browned the top with a torch to caramelize the sugar and brown the cheese a bit. Wonderful camera work today..great editing again. Voice overs worked nice. Your accent works well to give it a worldly type effect 😁
I really love this adventure!
best musical score ❤️ thank you KD for sharing us your adventures and documentary contents.
Glad to see you living the moment. Keep laughing and enjoy life.
Thank you KD for featuring Lake Leonard in your vlog. I am born and raised in brgy. New Leyte, in the last 5 years I visited there for only 1 day last 2018. It's lovely to see how developed it is now, the drone shots make it looks more wonderful.
We love your vlogs, Anselm.
Kumander thank you for giving us an excellent tour of Davao de Oro, featuring Lake Leonard, Seas of Clouds, hot springs, Maragusan, with great drone shots, accompanied by beautiful upbeat music and great humour.

Kumander is rasing the bar!! 👏🏻 more good content and soon 300k!!
Your knowledge of the local topography is outstanding - specially coming from an outsider like you Kumander. 👍
I wouldn't be able to take a glimpse of such amazing place if not for your videos. Thank you!
Thanks to vloggers like Daot and Becoming Filipino, they surely are showing us Mindanao. As Filipinos from Luzon, we were always told that Mindanao is a war zone, that even Filipinos can be kidnapped any place and anytime in Mindanao. Mindanao has its own beauty, combination of Muslim and Christian architectures make the place very interesting to see. I love the greenery too o f Mindanao.
KD U R a good narrator, almost like narional geographic.
