Yup, Water Buffalo can be so contented and chill. It's one of the reasons to move to such a well adapted tropical paradise culture.
Was someone making mozzarella too? Thx for the views – I want to escape February Philadelphia. ♡

It sure is . And if you say its one of the best that a gd rap cause uv been everywere
Siargao is stunning! The only drawback I have is that it's situated at the edge of the Pacific, and it's at the path of typhoons. So my advice is to avoid the rainy or monsoon season.
A rice meal for the price of what a local earns in two days, ripped off again
The music selection is always great on Gabriel's videos. Gets me to hear new sounds and styles which is nice.
😊❤🇧🇦🗻🏔⛰
If I was there I would organize tricycle races for the locals. I would allow engine tuning (cc should be fixed, so no engine replacements, only tuning), but everyone would have to wear safety helmet and body protection. I would sell tickets for the races and get insanely rich.
During my weekly phone calls with my mother, guess whom comes up? Gabriel of course, "guess where he's at today…"
Any plans on going back to Japan?
Lots of greens, paddy fields, coconut trees, beaches looks like Kerala, India.
The Philippines have a lot of motorcycles. Their gas must be high.
Enjoy there sir🎉🎉
00:30 $12 for a sandwich, cookie and drink in the Phillipines is a bit steep.
not as cheep as other Asian countries
Please. Said the dude whose been on all of one of the 7,100 islands in the archipelago. Go to Jolo next! You’re gonna love it! 🙏🏻
fairly cleean
To many dogs.
I’m in country now and headed there in the next two weeks! ❤️
Don't waste your time with Boracay.(I am here now). Unless you are a kitesurfer. IloIlo is a waste as well. Bohol is surprisingly nice. Especially the snorkelling tour to the island off shore from Panglao. Swimming in schools of sardines is quite the experience. Best snorkelling I have ever experienced. There is swimming with whale sharks but much better on the island of Cebu.
Wonderful Island of Siargao thanks for touring with us. Gab, your vacation is more Fun here in the Philippines. Your swimming experience was fascinating. 🥰👍
Day 4 asking Gabe to hangout with me.
Great video Gabe, I,m considering moving to the Philippines, so your videos are giving me some wonderful insight. Oh, and that $5 a day scooter, sounds like a $5 a day scooter, LOL. But it does the job.
Hi Gabriel, that was an enjoyable day getting around and seeing the other town. The guy with the eleven-acre property working his hands with no major tools by himself in that hot jungle field is unreal. Overall, you had a wonderful time in and around Siargao Island. It felt much like Vietnam with a lot of Western influence.
😊
Man that moped sounds like it has the flu. Surprised you traveled all over the island with it and it didn't break down.
Just don't see it. Sorry. This is not a tropical paradise to me. The beaches aren't even nice. And too crowded
It could be that You need to pull the brake on your left hand to get the starting engine to work…. dunno, could be
Beautiful adventure with a squeaky rear hub housing😂😅
wow
Getting tanned up Gabriel 😊😀😎☀️🌊
YOU HAVE TO HOLD THE BREAK LEVER WHILE STARTING……
Mutya is like a beauty contest gab! 🙂
Everyone is so nice, wow.
That is the freshest market I’ve ever seen! My friend who is from Phillipines she used to use one of the local fruits as a mosquito repellent. I can not remember the name of it but it is similiar to Genipa plant.
Thank you much Gab👍🏼
You should visit the Siargao cockpit for the ultimate 100% genuine Filipino experience. Just ask any adult male local where the "sabongan " is.
Your videos of the Philippines are the most authentic. Once again thanks for sharing
