10:25 — I am reviewing this video and loving the whole beach look, shops and walkways.
Seeing as you mentioned Bali, any plans to go further afield in Indonesia? Java and the Banda Islands are very photogenic and there's not much YT coverage of them. Flores as well (with the exception of the Komodos)
Please dont convert dollars to peso coz we already know its value. Filipinos are getting poorer because of foreigners always telling things are cheaper so the local businesses are making commodities expensive. We Filipinos could not afford the prices anymore because our salaries are not increasing for years. Have a pity for us Filipinos. 😢
You must have a T shirt, when you surf, to protect your chest skin.
Playboy Gabe with his sexy ladies. hahahahah
Nice to see you inthe Philippines,, hope you injoy your travel
Philippines has friendly people and a different alternative to somewhere like Thailand, but Thailand definitely has the islands with the beautiful beaches.
camiguin is also an amazing little island to visit Gabe 😀
crazy actually being in the same country as you for once! i am in siquijor currently. i didn't have enough time to fit siargao unfortunately (plus its rainy season there) but i have been having a lot of serious FOMO about it. i feel like watching these i can really see what i am missing. enjoy!
try the san mig light. its better. it is not light.
Those prices are ridic expensive. Too many tourists coming over.
Hey I think the "balancing wings" on the boat you were describing are called "outriggers". ☺
Philippines is getting very expensive
this is funny comparing Siargao to Bali? Siargao is nothing but surf and hook up and very very way behind Bali. Bali has more culture and spiritual aspect. Id rather go to Sri Lanka than Siargao if i love surfing and Siargao is so expensive compare to this 2 destination

Maybe for a short vacation, yes. For the long term, no. There isn't as much variety as in Bali. There are no private schools for children like in Bali, there isn't reliable internet and electricity throughout the year like in Bali, and the prices are higher than in Bali.
Siargaou is BETTER THAN BALI MORE CLEANIER ETC ETC
No comparison, please? Bali is Bali and Siargao is Siargao. It's like when you come after your trip from Indonesia or Thailand you don't ask, can you speak Thai or how much is the tuktuk ride?! So annoying! Learn to blend with locals, learn the language, and adapt to the culture! That's how Filipinos love to see and hear from foreign visitors.
Another "Bali of the Philippines" …. Call it as it is. You are in Siargao. Stop callling and comparing it to other place. It has its own charm. Nakakasawa na.
I went there in 2008. It was really lovely back then. In 2008 Bali was since long a place where tourism had gone too far. When I visited Bali first time in 1994 there was already massive traffic congestion in the Kuta area. In terms of surfing the two might be comparable, but nothing else is comparable.
Beautiful beaches but PH cultures not too interesting unlike thailand & bali indonesia
Back to india
More like "some rude guy stood there filming when some people were walking". (joking) 😋
SIARGAO IS SIARGAO, not the next Bali or anywhere else. Let's leave it at that.
We keep missing each other on the road
Welcome
I'm.off to Danang Bet I see you there
Bali has lost its charm,polluted due to overtourism,,paradise lost as many would say..prostitution is widespread..I'd rather prefer that our islands in the Philippines not become another Bali..by the way Boracay is much more beautiful than Bali.
This was the best spot so far👌 🍻
