Added:All right, so today I'm going to be asking locals to help teach me some Bisaya phrases. I'm sure there's going to be a some funny scenarios here. Maybe someone's going to teach me some bad words that I already know, but you know what? It's okay.

Oh gwapo, I know that.

Someone said "Yawa" to me and I don't know why.
All right, so today I'm going to be asking locals to help teach me some Bisaya phrases. Let's see how this goes.
But first things first, I'm going to go eat lunch at Barbecue Boss cuz I am hungry for some barbecue and Penong's isn't open yet.
So, see how this goes.

Is it okay if you're in my vlog?
>> Yes.
>> It's okay. All right, just making sure.
>> You're a blogger?
>> Yeah, I'm blogger.
I was actually going to go around today uh asking people to teach me a Bisaya phrase.
Do you Is there anything in Bisaya you could teach me?
>> In Bisaya, unang unang bisis.
>> Unang?
>> Unang bisis.
>> And what does that mean?

>> Unang higayon.
>> Higayon, yes.
>> And what does that mean?

>> Okay. Hear that, guys? Unang higayon, first time.
Uh and this is barbecue boss, too, right? Yes, sir. Okay. We found found a shortcut.
>> Yes.
>> All right. Let me get my uh money out.
Think I I have 50. Let's see.
Here, got 50.
>> Oh.
>> Salamat, boss.
>> Thank you, sir.
>> All right, I made it to barbecue boss now.
I learned a new Bisaya phrase, so that went well. Let's eat some barbecue here at barbecue boss. Let's see.
Maayong hapon.
Is it open?
>> Yes, sir.
>> Yeah? Okay. Just want to eat. Can I sit anywhere?
>> Yes.
>> Yes? All right.
All right. Maayong hapon.
>> Maayong hapon.
>> I got to get my tripod out.
>> Maayong hapon, sir.
>> All right, thank you.
>> Excuse sir.
>> Mhm.
Okay, here's the menu here.
Got uh grilled pork and fried pork barbecue.
So, it's all barbecue. They got chicken, pork, even sea sig. All right. I don't know what I'm going to get yet, but I'm going to quickly decide cuz I am hungry here.
Boneless chicken thighs.
Do you guys have a spicy barbecue?
>> Spicy? Yes, sir. We have spicy.
>> It's available?
>> Sir?
>> Uh like the grilled?
>> Yes, sir. Grilled.
>> Okay.
Just going to ask if they got the spicy.
I hope they do.
Cuz I was like spicy.
They have a big menu here actually. I don't know if there's Oh, there is another side I didn't even see. Okay. I didn't realize. I thought it's just uh only barbecue sticks now, but they got more than that. Decide what to get here.
Sizzling bulalo.
Okay. I'm going to get pork barbecue and garlic rice. And I think All right, right mango shake. So, could I get uh 10 pieces of grilled pork barbecue and spicy?
>> Spicy?
>> Yeah. And then a garlic rice.
>> Garlic rice and >> And then a fresh durian shake.
>> Fresh durian shake.
>> What is a pa-a? Chicken pa-a?
>> Chicken leg soup.
>> Oh, chicken leg. Could I get uh one chicken pa-a?
>> One chicken pa-a.
>> Yeah.
And I think that'll be it.
>> Thank you.
>> Yeah, thank you.
>> Yes, sir.
>> All right. So, I got 20 to 25 minutes here. When they come back, I'm going to ask them to teach me a phrase in Visayan. Let's see how this goes.
So, whenever you go to like a barbecue place in the Philippines, they'll give you uh calamansi and chili pepper. And what you do is you mix it with this uh with soy sauce. And it's like a it's like a dipping sauce. It's really good. And it's spicy. I always crush the chili pepper so it's even spicier. I'm going to do it now before my food comes so I can eat right away.
Okay. So, it's how it looks uh before I add the soy sauce in it. And I'll add the soy sauce now.
And this is how it looks once it's done.
The uh perfect dipping sauce for barbecue. And I usually get pork barbecue, but I wanted to try uh the chicken pa atchu. Whenever I come here, I would always just get spicy pork barbecue, but might as well try something new. I'm really hungry here, so All right, and my my durian shake came. Since I'm here in Davao, you got to got to have some durian. I never had a durian shake. I did try durian at um Magsaysay uh long time ago.
Let's try the shake.
Definitely tastes like durian.
Mhm. Now, if you never had durian before, it has a really strong scent to it. Um I don't even know how to describe it. It's almost like garlic or something, but more pungent. And when it's in a fruit, which is sweet, it's like kind of a weird combo, but once you taste it, it's good. It's got like a custardy texture, too, but the flavor is really good for me, at least.
It's hard to describe the flavor of durian even, but it is really good. If you come to Davao, you have to try durian, or even anywhere in the Philippines, you should try durian cuz back in the US, it's extremely difficult to find.
And maybe it's because it smells so strong, I don't know. But it's not an easy fruit to find in the US, so come here to Davao, try some durian, whether it's the fresh durian or a durian shake.
I recommend it. And I know some people can't get over the smell. I've even met some people from here in Davao who don't like it, so it's not for everyone, but I like balut, too, so I guess uh I'm just different. I don't know.
>> That's my fried rice.
>> No problem. Yeah.
All right. My pork barbecue came and my rice. Still waiting for the chicken, but I'm going to start eating now cuz I am hungry and it looks good. All right.
It's good.
It is spicy actually.
What's even better when you dip it in the chili pepper calamansi soy sauce mixture.
It just makes it even better.
Thank you.
Excuse me. I was wondering, could you I'm filming a vlog and I'm asking people to teach me a phrase in Bisaya?
Could you a phrase in Bisaya? Could you teach me something?
Yeah, word or a phrase or Whatever you like, up to you.

This is what people are recommending before that I try. Bulcachong. So I'm going to have to come back there one day or a different location and try some Bulcachong which is apparently some sort of carabao soup. I never tried it before but I will try it. I think I got one more street to go and I made it to People's Park.
All right. I think People's Park is left here.
That's what I was told.
So going to make my way there.
Some friendly police officer said hello.
And here is Apo View Hotel here and I think People's Park is just one one more street up. Not going to pretend I've never been here before. I have but it's always good to have local interaction when you're here in Davao. So as soon as we get there we'll be asking around for some Bisaya phrases and I'm very busog after that meal. That was great great chicken and pork barbecue I had at barbecue boss.

They want you to have a good time here. Hanoi Vietnamese cuisine. Okay, this is People's Park right here.

All right, so I'm going to look for maybe one more person to ask here to teach me and then after that I'm going to go maybe Rojas Night Market. And here's the exit over here. I'm going to head towards that.
The exit and then there's a casino Filipino right behind it. Well, I think it was successful. I learned quite a few new Bisaya phrases and even an Ilonggo phrase. So, that was a successful mission here at People's Park in Davao City.
I want to buy some water.
Need some tubig.
Hello.
Need uh tubig?
Uh good morning. Uh sorry.
Bisaya? Uh good morning.
Learning. I'm learning.
Uh salamat.
Got some tubig. Need uh need some water.
Getting pretty pretty thirsty here. Uh there's someone longboarding here. Uh first time seeing that in Davao.
Seen a lot of skateboarders here, but never seen a longboarder.
Just going to stop for a minute so I can drink.
Okay. Let's see if there's a garbage here. And there is.
All right.
So, I'm going to go ask more people to teach me Bisaya.
Okay.
I don't know where I'm going to go next, but I'm going to look for somewhere that is going to be good to approach local people.
I was just at People's Park.
I'm looking at my Google Maps now. See where to go next.
Okay. I'm going to head this way. It looks busy over here, so should be a better spot to talk to people. Surprisingly, People's Park wasn't that busy today, but I still learned a few new phrases. Few Bisaya ones and even an Ilonggo one. So, it's an improvement. Okay. It's not as busy over here, but I think straight ahead there is like a street food area where it gets pretty busy sometimes. I know where I am now. This is the Day Two Inn bar.
And then right next to it is Suplados bar.
Not Not my type of bars, but I I have been there before.
Look at the 7-Eleven under construction here.
And here's the bar entrance for Day Two Inn and Suplados.
Been there before, but uh hello.
Definitely not my type of bar. I prefer to go to Parking Space or Cowboy Ranch.
A lot of salons here on this street. It's all salons.
There's another foreigner in there getting his hair cut. And here's Mang Inasal.
It's a super popular restaurant here that a lot of people like to come eat barbecue.
Yeah, this is the area I was looking for. It's pretty busy now.
I should be able to learn some Bisaya.
Let's see.
Some people get nervous when they see me and I'm not quite sure why. Kind of interesting.
And sometimes you get weird looks too, but it's okay. It is what it is.

>> I have souvenirs.

>> 300 pesos.
>> All right, bro. And here's a sticker if you want one.
>> you, sir.
>> Yeah, thank you, too.
All right, so now I got a pipe for when I go to Thailand. I can can smoke a lot of cannabis through that pipe when I get to Thailand. All right, it's not as busy over there. So, I'm heading back this way and see if I can learn some more Bisaya. Let's go.
All right, it's always busy in Jollibee, of course. It's like everyone's favorite fast food joint here, so always busy.
And once again, it's not so busy over here. It's nice thing about Davao, though, that I can just walk and vlog anytime of the day and I don't have to worry about someone trying to snatch my camera. It's safe here. I don't know if I was in the certain areas in Manila, I'm not sure if I'd want to do that.
But, don't got to worry here in Davao.
All right, I'm crossing here.
Look, we got rock and metal shirts here.
Cool.
