Tawi Tawi Tribe

Drew Binsky - I traveled to the Philippines' most remote (and dangerous) island called Tawi Tawi, in search of the Badjao (Bajau) Tribe -- who can hold their breath for up to 13 minutes while free diving.  Guys - I have been coming to the Philippines for the last 8 years and I've traveled to more than 50 Filipino islands - but I'm telling you that nothing compares to what I experienced in Tawi Tawi. The Badjao (Bajau) people are so kind and genuine, despite not even having a Jollibee in their community (it's hard to find this around the country!).  I hope you enjoy watching this story and I welcome any of your comments or questions in the comments below! Also, in case you were wondering, I found multiple sources online showing that the Badjaos (Bajaus) can hold their breath for up to 13 minutes, including a National Geographic article which you can also search for on Google.  It's incredibly impressive and the Badjaos (Bajaus) are true superhumans!
