I tried YouTube to fix my Suzuki APV front bumper dent but boiling water cannot pop out the dent. Any tips?

Yes, that seems to be what is needed to be done. I thought, boiling water alone and not removing the bumper can fixed it. The ABS plastic bumper needs some pushing from the inside because it has a certain degree of hardness in it, and in tandem with a heater element. Therefore, the bumper needs to be removed first.
is there something behind the bumper, that prevents you from pushing it outward from behind?
if you can't get your hand or fist in, use a long but thin object, like a length of 2 x 2.
turn the wheel to the right to create more space.

APV is 7 months. How much will insurance shoulder? I checked suzuki casa and I was surprised they eeager to replace even if the bumper dent looks fixable with heater. Brand new bumper excluding labor is P17T. I read the insurance papers 3 pages but it is written in Esperanto - hard to get. I was in a hurry and didn't stayed long. Any tips? Can insurance shoulder the new bumper replacement? Staff also said I need to notarized the bumper dent with an attorney.
most insurance contracts have a participation fee of about 2 or 3 thousand bucks, plus hassle documents and loooong downtime for the vehicle.
the banawe boys can probably do it for a few hundred bucks, in less than 30 minutes, without bringing the bumper down.
how long na po?
mine kasi, a sentra, had one the size of a softball. it healed itself in about 2 weeks. one day it was there, two weeks later, it was back to normal. "self-healing bumpers."

It got fixed by Cebu's car dent/paint specialist shop for P1500.

For my case no need. He removed 2 plastic clips so his hand can push from the inside. In tandem with a heating device, one push popped it out. A few more heating to even the surface and wipe with water. After the fix, it looked like original. No scratches, no dents and all plastic clip/screw intact
I open the front bonnet hood of my Suzuki APV, intending to pour distilled water for the radiator. I need to make sure where to pour it. Need help. Also how often should I do this routine? I drive daily with aircon. Where I see dripping water which is normal. I'm not seeing dripping water this time, hence I think I need to pour in distilled water into the radiator correct?
A/c dripping is just a byproduct of the system (freon, etc)
The coolant or distilled water on the radiator has nothing to do with it.
Unless you are experiencing an overheat wherein you have very low on coolant level, then you should put at the very least distilled on the resovoir located near the radiator.
