THE PHILIPPINES IS BEAUTIFUL! AND THERE IS NO BETTER VIBE THEN VISITING A PLACE WHEN THEY ARE CELEBRATING A FESTIVAL! In this video, I head back to Tawi Tawi for a quick trip to pick of some of the local "tipo" (banig) mats that I had made in Mapun. It happened to be the Provincial Festival in Tawi Tawi, so a delegation from Mapun was there. Known as Kamahardikaan, there are lots of activities, events, and performances that happen during the month of September. I was really fortunate to be able

THIS REMOTE ISLAND PARADISE IN TAWI TAWI MIGHT BE ONE OF THE BEST IN THE PHILIPPINES! Mapun is an isolated municipality in the Sulu Sea. This part of Tawi Tawi isn't just one island, but actually quite a few. On this day, we take a boat to one called "Manda". What an incredible experience it was! The ocean is pristine and turquoise, the sand is powdery white, the rock formations are powerful, and the corals are beautiful! Truly this is an island paradise... one that I feel to blessed to have set

THIS FISH MARKET IN TAWI-TAWI MINDANAO COULD BE ONE OF THE CHEAPEST IN THE COUNTRY? It was surreal not only walking around and seeing what was being offered, but the prices were very cheap (compared to where I live in the Philippines). They have unique fish, some of which I am not so sure about (could be endangered... could be dangerous... I am not 100% sure though, and am not one to judge without knowledge and understanding of local culture). Anyways, in this video you will see us visiting the

One of the best things about having awesome Filipino friends who are great at cooking? When you find an island paradise in Tawi-Tawi, they can take the fresh fish you bought at the market, and turn it into a delicious meal!! We left the main island of Simunul and ended up crossing five minutes to a smaller island called Sangay Siapo. This island is paradise! Clean water, white sand, coconut trees... during high tide the turquoise blue water stretches out forever... and low tide brings a golden g

Welcome to the birthplace of Islam in the Philippines, and the National Cultural Treasure... Sheik Karimol Makhdum Masjid. If you were wondering why I was wearing a Gamis and Kupia the other day, it was because we were inside this important Masjid (Mosque) here in the Philippines. Yes, this is the first Mosque ever built in the Philippines. Back in 1380 an Arab missionary and trader started teaching Islam in Tawi-Tawi and with that... it began to spread across the islands.

*** THE MOST INCREDIBLE BADJAO BANIG WEAVERS! *** Two years ago I was given a banig from Tawi-Tawi. Woven by hand, it was one of the most beautiful mats I have ever seen! And now, here in Bongao, I had the chance to meet some incredible Sama Dilaut (Badjao) weavers who create these works of art! Meet Helen (66yrs old), Sabilayda (45yrs old), and Nurkisa (68yrs old). Entering their little house on stilts in the community of Luuk Banka (village of boats), I couldn't help but watch in wonder... Sit

THIS VOLCANIC LAGOON IS A PHILIPPINES NATURAL WONDER! Mapun is the farthest municipality of Tawi-Tawi. This island community floating in the middle of the Sulu sea isn't just home to beautiful people... but some incredible natural wonders! In this video, we explore the third lake lagoon. Taking a local boat around the outside of it was absolutely mind blowing! The green vegetation, the mysterious water, the corals... just everything was incredible. The area also has a little bit of a "story" to
