I'm Filipino and I really admire these people for their unique trait and sticking with their traditions, specifically because most people who live close to the sea use bombs for fishing (like i swear those people have no patience. other people fish for a living and they dont disrespect the ocean like that, even when at desperate times)

They probably would crush at Olympic swimming.

I'm not a Badjao, I'm a Goodjao

My great grandma is one of these people, but she was also "landed" and come from the city of Cebu.

Badjao are also in Indonesia and Malaysia but they live more modern lives, not nomadic or tied to making a living from the sea in dangers

Not only in southern Philippines, my uncle can do that too, can hold long in water

[ronaldmaggay]

they still follow the old Austronesian power ☝🏽

I watched a documentary they can hold their breath for around 5 minutes if they are lucky.. good swimmers yes but thats about it..

[myrnalenviray]

They are the sea monster in the philippines

[mattb]

None of that happens because of who they are it happens because of what they do. Nothing unique in their genetics. That doesn't take away from there unique lifestyle however.
