A Jungle School Funded by Social Media in Palawan Philippines with Erwan Heussaff and Pastor Jasper

Are you ready to go on an adventure in the jungles of Palawan? Erwan Heussaff is journeying into the depths of Puerto Princesa with Jasper Iturriaga, a former pastor who is now a photographer, director, and an inspiring humanitarian who helped build the jungle schools atop the scenic mountains of Palawan.

We learned about the teamwork behind the jungle schools and the amount of heart that is put into making education accessible to those who need it the most. This is a travel video that goes beyond your screen—this is real life with no edits, no filters, just the reality of the lives of some of our brothers and sisters in the mountains.
While we were definitely challenged by mother nature on this trip, our post production work was made easy by our new Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i and the Lenovo Legion Slim 5i . We would like to thank Lenovo, Intel and Microsoft for partnering with us for this video.

Thank you Erwan and the Featr team for capturing our stories in the jungles! 🙌🏽❤️🙏🏽

[Fckvloggers]

When I was an active mountain climber, I got the chance to meet communities similar to this and heard stories from locals that will just tear your heart. I’m glad to see that there are these people who now gives the IPs a fighting chance in life. Thank you Erwan for documenting these and I hope more Filipinos open their minds and hearts to help protect the Lumads and their homes.

tama yung sinabi ni tatay "akala nila ginto yung hinuhukay, hindi iyun ginto, ang ginto ay yung mga tao yung makatulong ka sa mga tao" The school itself is gold!

When Pastor Jasper was talking about pilot Dan, my heart broke again to pieces. He was such a compassionate human being. I still hope they will be found. This is such a wonderful feature.. thank you, Featr team and Erwan. ❤ God bless you more.

[simplethings]

Erwan is not just a husband, chef, or food vlogger but a man on a mission. Kudos to The Fat Kid Inside Team!💙💙💙

[kristelann]

sana mapanuod to nang bise presidente at mahiya sa bilyon-bilyong confidential funds niya. Mabuhay po kayong mga walang sawang tumutulong ❤

[sharplance]

this is so timely...when govt is focusing on Confidential Funds some amazing people builds school to far reach places. Well done!

[czarNorbel]

Amazing!! Baka mahiya ang pamahalaan ng Pilipinas sa mga ginagawa ninyo!! God bless Pastor Jasper! ❤❤

"Hindi ginto ang hinuhukay. Ginto talaga na lahat ng tao matulungan." Nice line! this is so I had worked as a volunteer teacher to jungle schools in Mindanao and working with the IPs sometimes get the misrepresentation of goldmining. But the true gold are actually the people, they are of great value and they need to be helped. This is a nice eye-opener that many other will help these communities.

WOW your channel is like a National Geographic Channel (Philippines Version) . Every Episode is really informative, emotional expressive and giving an environmental awareness. I think you can send these to documentary shows for journalism - like Pulitzer Prize ... Im not sure what kind of award winning bodies but your ideas and shows deserve an award. Thank you for your team, all of you have a beautiful mind!

[johuliganga]

Pastor Jasper is our modern-day hero. Mabuhay po kayo!

[andrearamosnimo]

I hope our government will do something about this. We have a budget to improve our roads and everything else but for our young people who need education, bakit wala? 🥺

Godbless you more guys. Those people who gave their lives for others deserve to be honored.

Thanks, Featr for this episode.

[jennibulan]

I pray the Jungle Schools won’t be subjected to red tagging by the insecure authorities 😭🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

This is a heroic effort by everyone up there, by the communities, the teachers, Jasper and the Featr team. Kudos!!! How can we help?

[joyceannediana]

Nakakalungkot naman yung nangyari kay Sir Dan, yung pilot. Kaya more power sa lahat ng mga nagpapatuloy ng magandang nasimulan nya para sa community. Sana marami, or lahat ng mga bata doon makapag-aral talaga. Thank you FEATR for this video.

"Education is a great equalizer"
"Education is not just for a select few, but for everybody"
Love this! Thank you! 😍😄

Thank you Erwann for using your platform for this kind of content. It's not because these people need recognition, but they need full support from our government.

Last August, I had the pleasure of meeting Chef Martin. During our conversation, he shared with me about Featr's upcoming video, the Jungler School. He expressed his appreciation for the viewers, acknowledging that without us, they are nothing. However, he also noted that without our support, events like these would not be possible. It was heartening to see this video, which served as an eye-opener for us, making us realize that the little things we complain about are insignificant when compared to the challenges faced by others. I am grateful to Featr for creating such content. Thank you, and may you continue to thrive!
