draw for many is siargao's largely unspoiled natural environment. and when you are zipping around on a bike it is easy to see how stunning this place is. in 2019 siargao was voted the best island in asia, and was dubbed the next bali with plans for further development on the horizon. in december 2021, everything changed. category five super typhoon 0dette hit the island offguard with wind speeds of up to 195 kilometres an hour. these winds caused up to huge ash may cause huge amounts of damage while storm surges flooded coastal areas. my

damage while storm surges flooded coastal areas. so it has been a little over a year since super typhoon 0dette hit this island, but you can still see the scars. it has been a tough time for the islanders who are so heavily reliant on tourism. visitor numbers have almost halved since 2019, following the double whammy of the global pandemic and the typhoon. but the industry is slowly recovering and developing new and resilient tourism strategies. this farm offers visitors the chance to learn how the island is evolving. siargao relies heavily on food imports, so wants to grow more

of its own crops. and tourists who want to try something away from the beaches get to join in. from the beaches get to 'oin in. ., _, , from the beaches get to 'oin in. the tour company we have created is _ in. the tour company we have created is called _ in. the tour company we have created is called lokal- created is called lokal experience so it is all about experiencing the local livelihoods in local ways of life, and what they really enjoys a really get to interact the locals, people like our farmers who spearhead the tours, heartheir farmers who spearhead the tours, hear their stories, hear about our lives. we tours, hear their stories, hear about our lives.— about our lives. we will do... anna-lena — about our lives. we will do... anna-lena is _ about our lives. we will do... anna-lena is originally - about our lives. we will do... anna-lena is originally from | anna—lena is originally from siargao and returned home ten years ago after working as a nurse in manila.— years ago after working as a nurse in manila. you need to ut nurse in manila. you need to put only _ nurse in manila. you need to out only one _ nurse in manila. you need to put only one seed _ nurse in manila. you need to put only one seed per... - nurse in manila. you need to put only one seed per... 0k. and what _ put only one seed per... 0k. and what was _ put only one seed per... 0k. and what was it _ put only one seed per... 0k. and what was it like - put only one seed per... 0k. and what was it like he - put only one seed per... ok. and what was it like he had during typhoon 0dette? and what was it like he had during typhoon odette? there was something _ during typhoon odette? there was something like _ during typhoon odette? there was something like two - during typhoon odette? there l was something like two stages. because in the first stage there is wind... and heavy

fainthearted. with thick cubed waves breaking over razor sharp coral, some professional surfers call it a death ride. but if surfing isn't your thing, there is plenty of other activities you can do in the water here. you can take a boat trip through the mangroves to anger at sugba lagoon. it looks like a tropical paradise you would see on a postcard. well, if your idea of paradise is throwing yourself of a 12 foot diving board. further afield from the shores of siargao is the island of siargao —— boho, the island of siargao —— boho, the home of the tarsiers. wow, they are so sensitive that even a camera flash or the touch of a camera flash or the touch of a human can severely hurt or even killed them. so they are

best looked at from a distance, guided by the volunteers. luzon, the largest island in the philippines is home to these rice terraces. they were carved into the mountainside more than 2000 years ago using traditional hand tools and techniques. visitors can hike or take of guided tours to explore the terraces and learn more about the indigenous people who built them. still to come on the travel show: they are half man half drone. this arm here? 0h, are half man half drone. this arm here? oh, i are half man half drone. this arm here? 0h, isee! ifind out if the human drones are the next social media sensation. and taking a dip with the stingless jellyfish. the stingless “ellyfish. the jellyfish_ stingless jellyfish. the jellyfish harbour i stingless jellyfish. the jellyfish harbour has . stinglessjellyfish. tue: jellyfish harbour has millions upon millions ofjellyfish. so

visitors preferred to part with their cash for stylised social media content. now it was my turn to become a viral superstar. now it was my turn to become a viralsuperstar. right, igot to get the moves down. this arm here? 0|c! —— oh, isee! {lilla here? oic! -- oh, i see! ok, take another— here? oic! -- oh, i see! ok, take another pose. _ here? oic! -- oh, i see! ok, take another pose. another. | here? om! -- oh, | see! ok, - take another pose. another. ok, so this leg _ take another pose. another. ok, so this leg down, _ take another pose. another. ok, so this leg down, this leg up. oh my god, are you serious? 0h, oh my god, are you serious? oh, that was bad too! laughs . i got to work on my moves.

i�*ve never seen anything like this before. but in this social media mad world, i think it is an absolutely brilliant idea. that looks really cool! i�*ll leave it to you to decide what looks better, man or drone? i have left to visit the national park on the island of burkas grande. i am told it is one of the few places on earth you will find a certain, rather slimy creature that is not normally that popular.

jellyfish are amazing creatures, they are tough and have been around for eons. with their foreboding tentacles equipped with venomous stings, it�*s no surprise they are not many people�*s favourite animal. i haven�*t travelled two hours by both just to do some sightseeing, and this is the realm of the stingless jellyfish. joining me on the adventure to the jellyfish sanctuary is christel. she is a student who has been studying the specific species at university. this will be the first time she sees them in the flash. , well, thejelly.

hello there. the month of march has been a bit of a roller—coaster, hasn�*t it? and friday was no exception. look at these contrasting weather conditions — a beautiful afternoon in scarborough, north yorkshire. pleasantly warm as well. different story in wiltshire. in fact, there was just shy of an inch of rain by some torrential and at times thundery downpours that moved through the country. we have actually seen quite an unsettled month for many — some areas seeing double the amount of rainfall — and the month is not out with more wet weather to come before we move into april. now, as for the start of the weekend, we are going to see further showers, not quite as many as friday, but this little weather front will enhance the showers from time to time. it�*s going to be a mild start to the day. sunny spells and a few isolated showers during the morning become a little bit more widespread into the afternoon, but there will be some drier,

brighter interludes and favoured spots for that is where we had the wettest of the weather, actually, on friday, so across southern and south west england, along with wales, 13 or 1a degrees. a line of showers from that front across east anglia, northern england and into northern ireland. a little bit more cloud but some sunshine into northern scotland but noticeably cooler as that northerly wind starts to kick in — 5—9 degrees here. now, it looks likely that we are going to see some wetter weather, though, from saturday into sunday with this area of low pressure bringing some rain once again into the south—west and so, that brings a bit of a contrast first thing on sunday morning. milder air sitting down to the south—west but eventually as that rain clears, the cooler northerly flow starts to push further south across the country. so, a grey, potentially wet start across the south first thing on sunday morning, slowly easing away to brighter, sunnier skies. a few wintry showers in the far north of scotland — keir sitting in the cooler air with around 4—6 degrees.

further south, it will be noticeably cooler but not particularly biting with it. now, it looks likely that that cooler trend stays on monday with plenty of sunshine before more rain arrives for tuesday. and just before i say goodbye, don�*t forget, as we move into the early hours of sunday morning, it�*s the start of british summer time. we all lose an hour�*s sleep but we gain more daylight. take care.
