WHY Bohol is the HIDDEN GEM of the Philippines 🇵🇭

It's going to be a full-on adventure day. What? Oh my God. I got the shot. We had quite a few unexpected moments on our Bohol adventure, but today turned out to be the highlight of our trip. So Carson met this lady a few years ago and surprised her today for his birthday. I'm really happy to see you. Yeah, I'm as happy. Come here. Yes. What a cute town, really. Hello. Hi. Happy birthday, Conor. Thank you. Aw. What a day. What a way to start the day. What a freaking day. Welcome to Ander in Bohol, which is praised as the white sand beach of Bohol. And I have to say, it's really... I'm wearing sunnies, but oh my God, it's just hurting my eyes. It's so bright and it's so beautiful. Turquoise waters. A beautiful beach. Very cute area for families to hang out. We're blessed to be here. We're going to celebrate Carson's birthday today. Yeah, yeah. 25, baby. 25? 31. What? 31. Nice. 30-30s. It's the best time of your life. I'll tell you. Today we're going to see some waterfalls and some cenotes. It's going to be a full-on adventure day. Someone is enjoying. We're just men. It's very, very white here. Alrighty. I have no idea where we are, but we had to stop at a checkpoint because we have to pay an entrance fee. So it's 30 pesos for the waterfall. And then from here, we leave our car and we take a hubble hubble to the waterfall. I think it's just some kind of like, I don't know, security. I don't know. I don't know what it is for, but yeah, we can't go by car. So it's probably a narrow road or something like that. All right. Which one? It's your birthday. You can choose. All right. We're coming. Whoops. Holding on to my hat. Okay. It says no entry on four wheels. That explains it. Also, this is much better. Way better. Alrighty. Thank you, Cuya. We made it to Ken Mantat Falls. And yeah, you need a guide to go to the falls. I don't know why. Carson. So why did they say we need a hubble hubble? Because of Odette. Because of Odette, there was a landslide before. Yeah, the road's really nice. But they said because of Odette and landslides. And why do we need a tour guide? So we don't do anything that's illegal. We won't do that. But yeah. We have a tour guide. He's lovely. What's your name, Cuya? Jim. Hello, Jim. So Jim is navigating us to the waterfall. Oh, Carson. We have a guide. That's why we have a guide. So we reached the waterfall. There's some people swimming. Looks nice. Hello. How's the water? Is it good? Wow. Nice. You see it? Really nice. Unfortunately, there wasn't that much rainfall in the last month. So there's not much water. But I think we're going to take a dip nevertheless. We found our base camp. Yeah, I mean, just look at this view. Phenomenal. Oh my goodness. So many SIM cards. I'm packing for my next trip. And I have six SIM cards with me right now. Four here. Two in my phone. And honestly, it's getting really ridiculous at this point. I travel a lot. And every time I land in a new country, it's the same routine all over again that costs me so much time. Find a SIM card at the airport. Wait in line. Probably pay too much. And then hope it works. It's super time consuming and honestly frustrating for me. Let's get comfy for a travel hack. So I have some good news. I recently discovered a service that saves my life literally. It's called Saily and it is an eSIM service. And honestly, I don't know how I live without it. I won't need this anymore. And I don't have to spend time at airport kiosks anymore either. So total game changer for me. Saily lets you choose from affordable eSIM plans in over 160 countries and 8 regions. And the best part? Once you download it, you're set. You don't have to get a new SIM card for each country. You just land, activate and boom, you're connected. No more wandering around looking for Wi-Fi or dealing with those airport scammers trying to sell you overpriced SIM cards. And trust me, I had quite a bunch of those. The best part about it is the plans are affordable. So you're not burning money on roaming fees either. And it works on iOS and Android. So all I'm packing now is my phone. And honestly, Saily has changed my life for the better. No joke. And I think you will love it too. Plus, you can use my discount code to get 15% off your Saily data plan abroad. As always, the link is in the description box down below. You will save so much time, so much money. It's hassle-free. You will love it. You're welcome. And now, back to the vlog. Do you like the water? Yeah? Aww. Found myself a little chill spot here. Kuya is creating a waterfall for me. Thank you, Kuya! Beautiful nature. There are not many people. I think you're enjoying yourself. In case you guys want my spirit animal. Cheers, mates. To Carson's birthday. We just finished our lunch. I didn't want to vlog because there's a whole tourism briefing going on over there. So, it was not that peaceful, unfortunately. So, I'm just looking for food here. Eat my suman. Have a little dessert. This is actually just sweet rice in a banana leaf. So, I had this all over the Philippines. Pretty good snack. Salad. Almost tastes like chocolate. Very smoky. Alright, we reached our next spot which is not a tourist spot. It's the hometown of Nanang Karen, I think. So, Carson met this lady a few years ago and surprised her today for his birthday. And the reunion was really, really sweet. You can see it on his vlog. I didn't vlog it. I was just, you know, holding the camera and just observing and taking it all in. This town is very sweet. In the middle of the jungle. And we just got invited to her home. So, I'm just going to show you. How old is he? He's strong and healthy. What's your secret? I eat fish and vegetables. Okay, so fish and vegetables. How old is she? 83. And her husband? She's still looking very young. 1941. I was born in February 20th, 1941. She is still looking very, very fresh. Very young. She has the most beautiful smile and a very, very kind heart. Very glad I met you. So, Carson, this was your birthday wish? This was my plan to come to Anda for Nanay. Wow. I'm very happy to see you. Yeah. Yes. Hi. Hello. So spicy. Come here, little kitten. Yes. Auntie Nelly. Nelly. Joey. Wow, Joey. But you can call me Naya. It's my Filipino name. Nelia. Oh, wow. Nice name. Yes. Super beautiful. Wow. This universe. Right there. I'm Filipino. Black nose. You're beautiful. You're very beautiful. You are. Yes. You are very beautiful. God help me, my prayer. My prayer is to linger with you. At the end of the day. In a dream that's divine. My prayer is to rupture in bloom. Made still by the sea. On your lips close to mine. Wow. Oh, Lord. Oh, tell me the word that I'm going to you. My prayer is to rupture in bloom. What? Made still by the sea. On your lips close to mine. Wow. On your lips close to mine. Wow. What's your name? Natalia. Hello. Such a nice town here. Found another animal to pet. Another cow. Which one do you want? Coke Royal or Sprite? Oh, Sprite. Sprite? I didn't have Sprite in a very long time. We got invited for some drinks and snacks. For a little birthday get-together. Oh, we got Sky Flakes. Sky Flakes, soft drinks, Coca-Cola. Yummy. We finished our drinks almost. Had our Sky Flakes. We'll try back there. Sprite, Coke, Royal. Like Power Rangers. And we had our snacks. We had a lovely conversation. What a cute town, really. Look at that. The chickens and the dog are eating the coconut. It's good. It's a tree of life. So we are literally in the middle of the jungle. And there's this super, super cute town. Has a school. Hello. Hi. Some very, very friendly locals. The town is very sweet. There are a lot of animals. Chickens, dogs, cows. The only thing missing is a goat. But yeah, otherwise, I think this is the perfect province town. It's just very green. It has these mountains in the back. It's so sweet. Another spot where Zoe found... Look at this child. Look at this one. I'm being pickpocketed. It's time to say goodbye. Love you. Let me give you a hug. Thank you. Thank you so much. Stay this smiley. Wow. You have a very good energy. Very kind energy. Thank you so much. Okay. Bye. Hi, guys. What a day. All right. We made it to one of the cave pools. What? Oh, my God. This looks stunning. The way how the light hits the water. I'm very excited for this guy to do some free diving. We're probably going to jump in, swim a little, have some fun, get some shots. Ooh. Exciting. This little kitten is just so cute. He is so cute. I'm sorry. We have to go and have some fun now. All right. So I always put my GoPro into water housing. It is waterproof, but after all, I just want to be safe when it comes to the depth. In the heart of Andar lies a hidden gem. Kabadnau Pool Cave. A natural masterpiece. Where emerald greens meet turquoise blues. And light dances across the water. It's as if time slows down. Dreamy light rays guide your way. Highlighting the beauty in every corner. This place feels like a secret known only to nature. She got the shot. We got the shot. Okay, now we have to catch a ferry. Yeah, now we gotta go. Okay, just came out and wow, it was so, so nice. We took some really nice pictures. The light rays are phenomenal. And meanwhile, the whole town came out to say hi to us. Hello. Hey, wanna say hi to the vlog. So. From Bulacan. Bulacan. Oh, I've been to Bulacan. It's beautiful. Yeah. Many river in Bulacan. Ah, okay. So you, who's from Manila? All of them. Oh, all of you. No, I live here. You live here? Yeah. There we go. Picture.
