  It’s a nation of over 7,000 islands, forming one of the most ancient archipelagos in the world, where both the wildlife and the people have had to adapt to survive. The Philippines 🇵🇭

  I'm Aussie, married to Higaonon baylan from Northern Mindanao. I've lived here for most of the last seven years. There are so many wonderful places and people here in the Philippines. I haven't been to Palawan or Bohol. However, apart from Misamis Oriental and Bukidnon provinces here in Northern Mindanao, I've spent time in Laguna in Luzon, and Cebu. Palawan is very well named. I understand that "Palaw" in Old Malay means "forested mountain ridge", and the suffix "-an" means "place". That's a perfect description of the geography of Palawan. I've also visited Camiguin Island, just to the north of Mindanao. It's an amazing place with two large active volcanoes, Hibok-Hibok and Vulcan, five other volcanic vents, hot and cold springs, and as far as I am aware the only sunken cemetery in the world. The old capital of Camiguin, Catarman,  was destroyed by the eruption of Hibok-Hibok in the 1870's, which led to the creation of Vulcan. Catarman was rebuilt in another location. Here in Mindanao we have "alamid", the palm civet, that will eat coffee beans and excrete them, for that really expensive coffee. There are also mangroves, which in Cebuano are called "bakhawan". Crab is "alimango", and butterfly is "alindanaw".

  I've lived in the Philippines 🇵🇭 for 15 years. I've travelled thousands of kilometres by bicycle, foot, boat, and local transport. I spent a month in the jungles in Palawan with the Batok and  cave dwellers. Also, many other places. Aetas in Luzon and still exploring. Amazing country and people ❤️

  I like FreeDocumentaryNature documentaries because of their quality. People who have studied nature have wisdom as well  as sence of humanity

  I like how you show the environment with almost to no human activity. You truly captured what the Philippines looks like with no human interference. Purely mesmerizing
