π΅πβ€οΈ It"s so awesome to watch on a big screen TV, like we are actually there. You guys are very good with your cams and drones!π€π Thanks for these beautiful videos!
Wow enjoy explore moal boal nice falls and swimming big shark it's more fun in the Philippines god bless stay safe
hope you enjoy PH, keep it up guys and stay safe
Feeding the whale shark is better than killing them for food for the locals.
Wβ€οΈW! Thatβs Lovely! Cheers for more awesome and incredible adventures!π₯β€οΈβ¨
Your chanel begin to boom in the Philippines. You did not have enough viewers from other Southeast nations. I hope you have a good video in Boracay and Palawan. Do not forget to do the UFO and Paragliding in Boracay as well as sunset cruise.
Okay hereβs my thought on wether itβs ethical or not for the whale sharks.
1: the sharks are not getting enough food for them to stop migrating to other places to find more food.
2: the people taking care of them now used to hunt them for food. But they realized they can make more money by taking care of the sharks.
3: we donβt know if itβs the same sharks that come everyday to get snacks.
4: as far as I know, marine biologists havenβt tagged any of those whale sharks to find out if they didnβt migrate or not.
5: when it comes to breeding season, no amount of food will keep the sharks in oslob. They will migrate to their breeding grounds wherever that is.
Be careful your bad comments, subscribers do not like that. You must not comment not good on the camera. If you do not enjoy, you better not post your dislikes.
Those whalesharks are not caged or restricted, they can go anywhere they want to feed but they know that during early of the day food will be abundant in that area hence they came. πβοΈ
For an experience that's more eco-friendly you can see whale sharks in the while in Donsol instead of Oslob. A boat will take you out in open waters searching for whale sharks. There's no guarantee that you'll find some, but there's a good chance when you go at the right season.
rent a motorbike while in Cebu for 400-500 peso
Awwww 2160p60
Itβs so magical on big screen
Countries like Norway, Denmark, Japan & Iceland still actively engage in whaling. They killed thousand of whales each year for thier meat and body parts to be sold for commercial gain. While whales in Philippines are feed for keeping them alive. βοΈ
Until 1992, whale sharks were being hunted in the Philippines for their fins. Just for their fins to make into shark's fin soup. Would you prefer the fishermen there revert to the old ways?
Whale sharks in Oslob is free not caged or constricted in one place. They CN come and go. The one thing should be done is the tourist who comes close.
You got a tiny brain whale shark are not captured they are visitor in that area for food before it becomes a tourist attractions they a free to go Anywhere in the ocean they are not inside the aquarium like other countries do.. so don't be stupid and comment like an expert remember the brain of whale shark is bigger than yours.. they know better than you in there living environment if they feel threaten they will never come back that area again… Understand lol πππππππ
Is building lodges around watering holes in Africa, so tourists can watch wildlife while sipping cocktails, more ethical? Are the safari parks in USA and UK more ethical? Or housing the whale sharks in giant aquariums like in Japan, Taiwan, and USA more ethical?
Those whale sharks are not caged and free to swim whenever and wherever. Just like any living animals (or human), you go where the food is. The country has laws protecting them and activities associated with whale sharks are closely monitored by BFAR – the government agency responsible in protecting and preserving our fisheries and aquatic resources.
I'd rather see them in our waters than them migrating to our bully neighbor's waters and end up in a pricey bowl of soup or dumplings. (Just kidding)
We respect your opinion, though. π
Welcome to Cebu – an island of a thousand adventures…Maybe head back to Cebu City this Sunday (Jan 15) for the grandest Mardigra/Festival in the Philippines – the SINULOG…Enjoy our Island of Cebu and the Philippines!

We do sometimes overreacted in some sort of cases without weigheing the whole situation. What now are those wild animals in Zoos should not be feed because you gonna interrupt there way of life? The Whale Shark in Oslob are roaming free in the wide Ocean and not held in captivity and they are being feed not with other kinds Food.
The friendly nature of the world's most amazing wild animals was incredible and very cool in your video.
Don't forget that Filipinos are proper TRIBAL PEOPLE and RESERVATIONISTS for thousands of years.
Gentle giants! Love this episode.
Coincidentally Sinunog Festival will be on Sunday so head back to Cebu City a treat and for sure you will discover that Filipinos know how to party, street dancing like no other to the next level, out of this world experience, that is why it is more fun in the Philippines, cliche I know but it is true. To see is to believe.

Better to feed them than butcher them for survival and their population has even thrived rather than waned for that matter.
I think that whale shark really go to that place eversince sometimes they leave the place go somewhere else but return they just put so much controversies
The whale shark topic, is all base on people options. At the same time you have to realize it is a tourist attraction, you can't expect all of those people to go out on private boats just to see a Whale Sharks. That's why they set rules like no touching, no sunscreen, no motor boats, etc..
agree with you guys ..those sharks supposed to be in the wild ..
hypocites , unsubscribing!!!
It is a chicken and egg issue – if there is no tourism, they kill them. But by luring them, they cannot migrate to other places to mate. They are migratory creatures like whales. It's all about money.
Wow an adventure! Next stop Sardine run and sea turtles in Moal Boal and if you have time try the Aguinid Falls in Samboan, the reverse climbing the 8 tier falls, visit the Cebu's highest peak The Osmena and Casino peak, check it out
Dont leave cebu yet guys there will be a sinulog feast in a few days you will see colorful street dance competition leading it this yearly occasion is their governor of cebu gwen garcia in fact she can dance too
Hi! dont leave Cebu coz their is a Sinulog Grand Parade happening in Cebu City. A greatest crowd ever happening in this country every 3rd sunday of January.
I've said this a few times in other youtubers vlogs. I think the whaleshark diving in Oslob should atleast be regulated as i read an article saying that the whalesharks there have more scars and lesions (from contact with boats and divers) compared to those elsewhere. And i do see it in the videos. The article stated too that the constant feeding at the surface exposes them to more heat which might affect their overall health. But i think not just heat exposure but possible overfeeding also? Not to mention lessening their activity (instead of looking for food) which might not be good too.
Hello Everyone! If i were you, do not subscribe or watch their videos. Look at their attitudes, I do not like it. I already stop watching their videos. Bye!
Unsubscribing and unliking this vid. Reasons? Here we have another Youtube vlogger wannabe self righteous and preachyπ€£ Why the hell did you post this vid if you felt uncomfortable??? for content? for views?
Its better to feed the whale shark for money rather than the fisherman catch the whale shark slaughtered and sell to markets for its meat…. U guys are awesome…
dont cry baby ..welcome to ypu ..only in the phillipines beach and falls its great destination in the world…πππ
