00:02 In 1635, the city of Zamboanga was established as the oldest city in the country.
00:07 Due to its colorful tradition,
00:10 beautiful scenery, and rich culture,
00:13 it is a perfect place for tourists.
00:18 And for our adventure in Zamboanga,
00:21 we will be joined by a sparkle artist and proud Zamboangueña,
00:25 Cheska Fausto.
00:27 Buenos dias, fellow wanderers!
00:31 Welcome to Zamboanga City!
00:34 I was born and raised here in Zamboanga City,
00:39 so I am really a Zamboangueña.
00:42 My mother's side is my grandmother,
00:45 she is Spanish, but she grew up here in Zamboanga.
00:49 And my grandfather was an American.
00:52 [music]
00:55 Our first stop is the great Santa Cruz Island,
00:59 where you can find one of the most famous pink beaches in the city of Juan.
01:03 The island is a protected area,
01:07 so visitors need to pass through a short orientation.
01:11 [music]
01:14 Ride a boat, the journey is 10 minutes,
01:19 and you will reach the great Santa Cruz Island.
01:22 [music]
01:26 [music]
01:28 And because Cheska is alone on that island,
01:31 he took the beautiful paradise of the pink beach.
01:35 [music]
01:51 Kalimpahin or Pink Beach is its name
01:53 because of the crushed red organ pipe coral
01:56 that mixed with the finest white sand of the island.
01:59 And in 2017,
02:01 it was recognized by National Geographic
02:03 as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
02:07 [music]
02:10 It is said that it is the perfect time to try the yellow boat adventure,
02:17 which is the entrance of the Great Santa Cruz Lagoon,
02:19 which is the center of the city's biodiversity conservation.
02:23 [music]
02:26 Later, you will see under the water
02:31 the upside-down stingless jellyfish.
02:34 [music]
02:37 In catching upside-down jellyfish,
02:40 you need to be careful
02:42 and don't lift it from the water, fellow wanderers.
02:46 This is my first time catching a stingless jellyfish
02:49 and it is very safe to catch it
02:51 because it is stingless and it is very soft.
02:55 It is a must that you guys try and visit here in Santa Cruz Lagoon.
03:00 The Sambuanga adventure is not complete without a food trip.
03:04 That's why Cheska will let us taste the Oko-Oko or Sea Urchin
03:09 that is filled with rice.
03:12 It is often seen that the Sea Urchin or Tehetehe
03:16 is found in the shallow parts of the lagoon
03:18 where it is eaten by a fish.
03:21 [music]
03:24 Siti will show us how to cook it.
03:32 So what are we going to do now?
03:35 Here, we will clean it and remove the fish.
03:40 [music]
03:42 The bottom of the fish will be cleaned to make it clean inside.
03:45 The rice that will be filled here will be mixed with onions, garlic, and other seasonings.
03:52 Then, it will be placed inside the Sea Urchin.
03:56 [music]
04:08 There, so mommy Siti, this has been boiled for an hour.
04:13 It is cooked for an hour.
04:16 So mommy, how are we going to eat this?
04:19 There, wow!
04:24 The shell will be broken.
04:29 Actually, this is my first time to try Oko-Oko.
04:33 [music]
04:35 The taste of the Sea Urchin is almost like the taste of crab.
04:43 The fats of the crab.
04:45 It is so delicious and filling because it is made of rice.
04:49 [music]
04:51 Samwanga is a melting pot of different ethnicities and cultures.
04:55 Aside from being a lively environment and a best place that is perfect for a travel destination,
05:02 the real wealth of the Samwanga people is their people.
