an epic 33 day trip in the Philippines and in this video I'm going to share with you all of my favorite Parts okay wow absolutely stunning up here the time has come from one odd [Music] I think I'll get one too hands down wow oh dude this is fantastic this is of course plenty of food what a happy place we begin in Manila because it was the first half I want to say I've been to the Philippines at least 50 times but this trip was different because I was going there to get married which by the way I'm going to link down below my amazing wedding video on my main Channel which I hope you guys will check out but in Manila I did many new things most importantly I went to the Muslim quarter which was so cool there was a variety of different foods look how big this plate is oh I can't explain it it's coconut chicken spice rice all in one plate this is so good in different cultures and different people that I met I'm from the U.S [Music] I've never met an Iranian Filipino before this is a cool moment and I went into one mosque where I met some people from marawi which is where the Isis war was several years ago and I met these two ladies who gave me some heartwarming information about their hometown it is the Mara now we're being very devastated spiritually emotionally but I was really heavy what those ladies were saying but I'm glad I captured that to hear real stories from real people who lived that and not from the media it was really sad and it's something that sticks with me in my head and on the positive note I also went to binondo's we have just entered okay the chaos the real chaos foreign that is older than the independence of the United States of America 400 years old and you can see it's a foodie Paradise look at the line [Music] plenty of food options I don't know under a bunch of construction right now pretty crazy place man we did some epic food Adventures my whole trip in Manila was food I was eating all kinds of stuff from bizarre food like soup [Music] okay it seems like every Foreigner that comes to the Philippines has this like raw experience of all the food cultures that are in Manila like you can find everything and anything I mean he just had a very weird soup that I haven't tried yet but I had the black chicken soup I think so many things that I tried I don't even want to start it's actually good this is a plate of cow eyeball all right I'm putting it in the soup Hi boss it's crunchy yeah oh the texture the texture is very hard the flavor is like hard-boiled egg chewing through bones really really tasty meals oh my God it's a Jacuzzi of beef bones oh dude this is one of my favorite Filipino dishes already oh yeah Manila is amazing City but there's so many amazing hidden Pockets around town that I hope you guys get the chance to explore three wallets for one point [Music] bro that was amazing after Manila I went to Biko I'm going to bicol babe where are we going [Music] by the way my own volcano is on fire currently so if you're planning a trip to bicol now is the time to capture the cone-shaped volcano in the most beautiful ways if you're a photographer this is a photographer's Paradise right now with the province in the East where Deanna's from and we went to her hometown called polangi it's actually my fourth time there but my first time in the last like five years and it was an amazing experience I made a whole video on this channel about it but some of the highlights were walking through the old markets which I've never been to kind of in the the old part of the town as you keep getting deeper and deeper in this market it keeps getting more fascinating with different things like lettuce hanging over your heads coconuts everywhere hello I think that's what we're known for yeah remember I told you about the popcorn the reason why you don't like because you cook it you buy it like this and you cook it for the microwave no it's a whole Factory in here they got all kinds of things going okay these are childhood memories of mine popcorn made in the pot kids from these days don't know it because they have microwave popcorn right all right I'm going over here of course you have the Mayan volcano which is just epic it's the world's most symmetrical cone volcano ever in the history of the world I mean you can scientists even agree that it's the most symmetrical volcano it's super cool and right now I'm lucky enough to see a beautiful rainbow on the side right there it's so special to be able to come to Deanna's Hometown and see nature that is this beautiful amazing moment up here okay one more thing about my own volcano it doesn't even do justice seeing it on video because when you are there you see the volcano at every corner and it's just Majestic it's just so breathtaking and beautiful and it's just ah I don't know you have to be there you have to go there to see it for yourself and then of course you have Deanna's family and friends that were there when it was so cool we did a electron I did this thing called pamam hikan which is basically you know before a men and a woman get married and the man has to prove his Worth to the the female's family and you do so by serenading her and doing things in the field which I wasn't able to do Rice collecting and climbing trees but I did put on a Filipino outfit and uh serenaded her Deanna's gonna freak out when she sees me with this on okay no matter she's so pretty isn't she [Music] says [Music] it was really really a fun time and it's just so so peaceful out there in the province and just absolutely stunning foreign [Music] who is the last remaining tribal tattoo artist in the Philippines when I have a video coming soon on my main Channel I know if you click the link below I'll link all the videos the longer form videos to these uh in the description down below the journey to get there was crazy we had like a 12 hour drive from Manila up the mountains to the northern part of the island of Luzon Island and we went to this place called tagada which is this like high elevation mountainous really beautiful place in the Philippines we've made it to the highest points on any Highway 7 400 feet high right here check this out I remember driving there during the good old days when we did making a juicy on the road and we were driving through the mountains and we could look down on the clouds imagine that you are driving above the clouds that was surreal that was such a stunning I mean I'm getting Goosebumps just thinking of it such a stunning experience if you can go there definitely go there see the Rice Terraces and of course if you can want to visit and sure enough we had to hike up this mountain and we finally met Guang oh she's so amazing she's legendary she's so sweet all right so the time has come and now I'm getting a tattoo from the legendary [Music] thank you it was just such a pleasure to meet her I mean she was on the cover-up magazine like she's super famous it was just a great great experience to meet wongoda yes one another thing is book came to the Philippines and one of the first covers was actually one odd I commented underneath the picture on the Instagram profile it's so beautiful and it's such an empowering message that book sent super super love the cover see that part of the Philippines after that as we were going back down to Manila we stopped at the banawei Rice Terraces which is a UNESCO world heritage site first yeah absolute Beauty we're talking like my beautiful miles there's a picture of me of these like stepping stones which makes Rice Terraces and it was the ifugao tribe which hundreds and hundreds of years ago the ifugabe had made it by hand like literally the men and women were out there like carving these rice terracism and today it's just so beautiful I mean I was flying my drone and getting the most epic shots in my opinion this should be like one of the seven wonders of the world it is that outstanding I agree [Music] I was actually super super surprised when I met the ifugao because they were able to speak English like it's so unreal and when I asked why they are able to speak English they told me that the missionaries came to that area and taught them English and so that's why they are able to talk to tourists as well after the banana Rice Terraces which is a province just north of Manila and is famous for none other than it's Cece [Music] so we went to a link saw things all right the CC has arrived yeah she's only played a pork snout Eyes Ears bringing all the parts of the pig that you don't eat normally they chop it up put it on the sizzling plate with onions and it's just fantastic and it originates in this city and actually the great Anthony Bourdain who is my role model and Idol said that this is the most underrated dish in the Philippines and it's probably going to take the World by storms wow it's definitely the best cheesecake I've ever had it's fantastic bro about not to mention something that I admire about the Philippines is that every part of the animal is being used for some sort of dish so in this case as he said you have the nose you have the eyes you have knuckles I don't know like all sorts of pieces that are combined in a dish that is really delicious it's very heavy but if you have enough rice with it it should be fine this is the best it was just wonderful full video yeah when it's crispy just crazy what do you think about that good good boy he's just listened to the whole conversation he wants to be involved after Pampanga we went back to Manila for a few days and then it was time to get married so Deanna and I went to balison Island which is a private island you have to make a private plane to get there a charter Department we had 80 of our closest family and friends to join us and it was just an absolutely incredible two-night three-day retreat in balison we had perfect weather I don't want to get too into detail because I'm working on the most epic amazing piece uh 15 to 20 minute video on my main Channel about the wedding and that's linked down below but I just want to say that it was absolutely amazing and um I guess that's it I'm not going to tease it anymore but just know that it was the most beautiful picturesque wedding that we could have ever dreamed of after the wedding all the people from the wedding went to bork having a wedding in balasin island is like winning the lottery because it's so exclusive you can't just go there you need to be a member yes it's a membership or have somebody who is a member invites you there that's pretty cool I mean that's very unique saying I had my wedding in Palestine Island which is none other than the most famous party island in the Philippines and probably in the world you have an amazing Beach and along the boardwalk you have all these bars and clubs and restaurants and things going on it's just an absolute blast see dude I even think so because he's jumping on my my uh my lap here and fun fact dudo is actually from the Philippines right right you're from Cavite Manila if you ever go to the Philippines and you only have a few days because you get perfect Beach fun Good Vibes everything on this small island after Boracay to wrap up an amazing month in the Philippines Deanna and I headed down south to an island called tawi tawi which a lot of Filipinos think is the most dangerous island in the country let's do it tawitawi is remote I mean it is way down there in the southwestern corner of the Philippines almost close to Malaysian Borneo Island like a quick boat right away maybe like 20 30 miles from there it's so rural down there that there's no Jollibee like that's how you can differentiate if a place in the Philippines has people and not if there's Jollibee or not there's not so many people down there but it's famous for the bajao tribe the bajao tribe are known to be the world's best free divers because they okay I did a video about the Bedell tribes on my channel we'll pop up right here it's on Nellie's life check it out it's very interesting it's people who actually oh there's also a reaction video that I did people who live on water and their whole life evolves around fishing and Diving there are different types of bajao people but you know watch the whole video here free dive without oxygen they just dive down in the ocean which by the way is insanely picturesque blue and colorful and they have this Spear and that's how they catch their fish and they go down there and they hold their breath up to six minutes it's absolutely fantastic it was an amazing story to be with the bajaos and to eat food with them to learn about their lives but I really wanted to go somewhere and I got like second degree burn on my back and actually it is still really red after like over two weeks at a time so anyways um tawi tawi was great it's a very different part of the Philippines they speak a different language it's Muslim it's very different than the other parts [Music] hands down so this trip I was able to do it around the Philippines from north south west I know what you're saying Nelly is dangerous there but I think if I go accompany maybe it's going to be a wonderful wonderful experience I gotta say that this is my favorite country in the world I've been saying this since 2013 two years before I met Deanna it's just the best the people are so nice welcome to the Philippines yeah nature is wonderful it's cheap it's fun it is fantastic and I wish I was there right now and if you've ever been to the Philippines please comment below what do
