00:04 Hi Believers!
00:05 I'm sure you'll be amazed not only by our experiments,
00:08 but also by the people we'll meet this morning.
00:11 A kid from Lodi, in the field, using the Mathematical Principle.
00:16 An indoor go-kart race, so much fun to ride.
00:22 A game of tag, spinning around the spinning ball.
00:28 The teddy bear is so cute, but it's not a game.
00:31 What could it be?
00:33 A donut, how to split it so it's edible.
00:38 All these and more, here in I Believe, because I believe that science is everywhere.
00:45 Good morning, iBeliever!
00:51 Good morning!
00:53 Good morning, guys! Good morning, Ate Shairon, Ate Rodfil.
00:56 Good morning, Chris! That's good to be back.
00:58 I have a question, guys.
00:59 What?
01:00 Will you believe me if I say that there's a connection to math in playing the tambol?
01:04 Of course!
01:06 No!
01:07 What's the connection to drums?
01:10 It's for cracking.
01:11 Yes, and that's before the pandemic.
01:13 I can't connect the math to playing the drums.
01:17 To hear is to believe.
01:24 With the help of our cool kid drummer, here is 11-year-old Gio Valerio!
01:29 Go, Gio!
01:32 Yeah!
01:34 [Drumming]
01:37 [Drumming]
01:40 [Drumming]
01:42 [Drumming]
01:44 [Drumming]
01:46 [Drumming]
01:48 [Drumming]
02:17 [Applause]
02:18 Wow!
02:19 That's amazing!
02:21 Wow!
02:22 Welcome to I Believe, Gio!
02:24 Hi, Chris! Hi, Kuya!
02:25 Hello, baby!
02:27 I'm curious. How long did you start learning to play the drums?
02:30 I started learning to play the drums when I was two years old.
02:33 Two years old?
02:35 Two years old!
02:36 How did that happen?
02:37 Did your friends teach you?
02:38 Did anyone teach you?
02:39 First, I just watched YouTube videos.
02:44 Then, I started to love milk cans,
02:47 and I started to play the timba, and I started to cook.
02:52 When I was four years old, my mom enrolled me in a drum lesson.
02:56 I joined the contest, and my coach was also my guide.
03:02 How often do you practice?
03:05 How many hours per session?
03:08 Sometimes, I practice 30 minutes per song,
03:12 and sometimes, I practice for an hour.
03:14 Gio, can you teach me how to play the drums?
03:16 Of course!
03:17 Try it! Go, go!
03:18 Actually, Chris is also jealous.
03:20 He's a basic drummer.
03:21 First, you have to do this part.
03:27 Like this.
03:29 I want to learn how to play the drums.
03:31 What you have to do is,
03:32 count to four, and play it slowly.
03:35 One, two, three, four.
03:37 Use your right hand.
03:39 One, two, three, four.
03:42 On the count of one, you have to do it together.
03:44 One, two, three, four.
03:48 One, two, three, four.
03:50 One, two, three, four.
03:51 One, two, three, four.
03:53 And then, on the snare,
03:57 One, two, three, four.
03:59 One, two, three, four.
04:00 That's my goal!
04:01 The left one, you can do it!
04:03 You can do it!
04:04 Our brains can do it!
04:07 One, two, three, four.
04:08 This is Shaira!
04:13 I'm not!
04:14 I'm not!
04:15 This is Kuya Chris!
04:16 He's talented!
04:17 Kuya Chris!
04:19 But, this is too much!
04:21 This is for me.
04:22 What do you call this?
04:24 Hi-hat.
04:25 Hi-hat.
04:26 This is the snare.
04:27 Yes.
04:28 This is the bass.
04:29 Yes.
04:30 So, this is just on the four.
04:31 Yes.
04:32 Look at Kuya Chris!
04:35 Pep, speed it up a bit.
04:37 Okay, miss.
04:40 You know how to play the drums!
04:42 You're teaching us!
04:44 Thank you, thank you.
04:48 Wow!
04:49 It's good to teach, not just to play.
04:51 In music and drums,
04:52 there are mathematical explanations
04:54 to explain the concept of rhythm.
04:56 This is the strong, regular, repeated pattern of sound
04:59 over a period of time.
05:00 The basic period of time in music
05:02 is called a bar or measure.
05:05 And the number of beats or sounds
05:07 that an instrument makes in a measure
05:09 is called a time signature.
05:12 One, two, three, four.
05:14 One, two, three, four.
05:16 One, two, three, four.
05:17 Most songs today have a 4/4 time signature.
05:21 It means that there are four beats in each measure.
05:25 One, two, three, four.
05:27 Look at Kuya Chris!
05:30 The combination and repetition of different time signatures
05:34 in each instrument gives rhythm to the sound.
05:38 Go, Gio!
05:39 Give me a beat.
05:40 [drums]
05:44 It's easy to play and it's pleasant to listen to.
05:47 That's why it becomes music to our ears.
05:49 Imagine, even in playing the drums,
05:52 there is a mathematical principle.
05:54 I believe.
05:55 I-believers!
05:56 It's time to do some mental exercise.
05:59 This is the Break Bender.
06:01 [cheers]
06:02 You have a donut, but you're a sham to your friend.
06:06 Okay.
06:07 One donut, sham to the person.
06:09 Okay.
06:10 To divide the donut into nine parts
06:12 just by using three slices.
06:15 And the sizes don't have to be equal.
06:17 The size of the parts can be different.
06:20 I-believers, you have to cut a donut
06:28 into nine pieces or nine parts.
06:31 Straight?
06:33 It's still mine.
06:35 So, let's look at Ate Shira.
06:38 Why is it like that?
06:40 Three slices.
06:41 One, two, three.
06:45 Okay, so we have how many?
06:47 One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
06:52 Oh, you're wrong.
06:54 But you're close.
06:55 It should be in the middle.
06:57 You were on the right track.
06:59 So, Rodfil, how many are you?
07:01 Six?
07:02 So, that is not the correct answer.
07:04 Let's put this aside.
07:05 I will show you the solution.
07:09 So, one, two, and three.
07:14 So, look.
07:15 There's one, two.
07:17 It's not an X, right?
07:18 One, two, three, four.
07:21 This is small.
07:22 Five, six, seven, eight, nine.
07:26 Wow!
07:27 It's not that easy.
07:28 Our whole group has a doughnut.
07:31 Yes.
07:32 So, after that brain bender,
07:34 this is the scientific wonder.
07:36 A small car, electric, but fast.
07:39 Oh, I'm sure that will make the kids happy.
07:42 Yes, the kids at heart.
07:44 Yes.
07:45 We will be joined by Jamier, Zobarte, and Sonia Mejia
07:49 in Believable.
07:52 Believable!
07:56 Hi, Believers!
08:06 We are here at Taytay Rinald
08:09 in the new venue for Deal Seekers.
08:13 Yes, and we will do the Believable Challenge here.
08:18 Please, let's go.
08:20 Wait up.
08:22 Woo!
08:24 I'm curious to know what's inside.
08:29 Oh my, Believers, I have nothing more to say.
08:32 This is so cool.
08:34 This is so fun.
08:37 And we are here with Sir GM Bugayong,
08:41 the CEO and founder of Drift Motor Speedway.
08:44 Hi, Sir.
08:45 Hello.
08:46 Welcome to iBelieve.
08:47 Thank you.
08:48 Hi, Chris and to all the iBelievers.
08:50 Hello, welcome as well.
08:52 Our indoor go-kart is really open for everyone.
08:59 If your kid is as young as 3 years old,
09:02 he can drive here.
09:04 Adults who weigh not more than 110 kilos.
09:07 So, we will teach you how to drive our go-karts.
09:12 We have a debriefing session.
09:15 We will explain as well how well you are doing
09:18 while you're driving our go-karts.
09:20 So, anyone can come.
09:22 Our go-karts are not an ordinary go-kart.
09:26 We're using electric go-karts.
09:28 It has different speed levels.
09:31 It's very safe for the kids and adults.
09:34 We have four speed levels.
09:36 For those who are 3 years old,
09:38 for those who are new,
09:39 we can put them in level 1 and level 2.
09:42 And then for adults,
09:44 we have level 2 and level 3
09:47 so they can experience our go-karts.
09:50 First of all, our go-karts have seat belts.
09:53 And then we also give you helmets.
09:55 And so, we provide all of these to you.
09:58 So, you don't have to worry about bringing anything
10:01 when you go here.
10:02 And here it is, Chris.
10:07 He taught us the different parts of the go-kart.
10:10 Yes, and do you know, Chris,
10:13 that the record holder of fastest speed here
10:16 was achieved by a 11-year-old kid.
10:19 11 years old?
10:20 Yes, he rode this whole track in 19.35 seconds only.
10:25 He is Ewan Gavin Bugayong.
10:28 He's good, right?
10:29 Wow, you know,
10:30 kids are really inspired.
10:32 They're inspired.
10:33 But can we catch up with him?
10:35 Of course, we can.
10:36 Me?
10:37 We?
10:38 We're competitive, right?
10:39 We're G.
10:40 G.
10:43 Here are our believable go-karters, Jamier and Zonya.
10:47 So, we have two kinds of go-karts.
10:57 Our junior go-kart,
10:59 the top speed is 35 kilometers per hour,
11:02 which is, again, on level 4.
11:04 And our pro-kart for adults,
11:07 the top speed is on 45 kilometers per hour.
11:11 So, our goal is to really have a world-class indoor go-kart park.
11:17 Go-karting is the name of the kind of career
11:21 that is achieved by using a go-kart,
11:22 a small vehicle with four wheels.
11:25 Art Ingalls invented this in Los Angeles in 1956.
11:30 The following year, the first official organized race
11:34 was held in the parking lot of Rose Bowl Stadium in California.
11:38 Back then, their machines were made from lawnmowers.
11:42 Not long after, indoor karting became popular.
11:46 I believe.
11:47 Kuya Chris, this is where we will find out our official time.
11:52 Can we beat the fastest record of Ewan by 19 seconds?
11:56 Let's see.
11:58 Okay, I'll go first.
11:59 My time is 30 seconds.528.
12:05 Not bad. You can do it, beginner.
12:08 You, you.
12:09 And for me, it's 27.277 seconds.
12:13 Wow, you're good.
12:16 This experience is so fun.
12:22 Thank you, Sir GM of Drift Motor Speedway.
12:26 Thank you.
12:27 See, iBelievers?
12:29 We still have a lot of experiments to do.
12:31 So, just wait for iBelieve.
12:35 Ready, set, go!
12:37 Wait, wait, wait. What's happening?
12:40 Kuya Chris, our race is getting slower.
12:43 We're racing.
12:44 What a waste.
12:45 I'm sure I'll win.
12:47 Because I'm like a rabbit that runs fast.
12:50 Not a slow turtle.
12:52 Hey, you're too much with turtles.
12:55 They're slow when they're in the land,
12:57 but when they're in the water, they're fast too.
13:00 I'm like that.
13:01 Speaking of turtles,
13:03 do you want to make your own turtle?
13:06 It's like swimming.
13:08 Hey, Kuya Chris!
13:10 It's a bit faster.
13:11 These are the things you'll need.
13:15 These egg trays.
13:16 Clothespin.
13:18 Alambre.
13:20 Clay.
13:22 And this egg shell.
13:24 Okay.
13:25 We also have a design for the turtle's eyes.
13:29 Oh, cute!
13:30 So, first, we've already shaped this alambre
13:34 so we can put it inside our clothespin.
13:38 Like this.
13:39 Ooh.
13:40 We'll fill the bottom of the egg shell with clay.
13:43 Okay.
13:44 So it will have some weight.
13:46 And then, we'll put it here.
13:53 There.
13:55 So it's stable.
13:56 And then, these are the hands and feet of the turtle.
14:00 So cute!
14:01 It's so cute.
14:02 The small one is the tail.
14:04 The tail.
14:05 And then, the head.
14:06 The head.
14:07 There.
14:08 And then, let's put the eyes.
14:10 And then,
14:11 baby turtle.
14:13 Let's eat it while it's spinning.
14:14 There, it's a turtle.
14:15 There it is.
14:17 It's like swimming.
14:18 It's like swimming.
14:19 There.
14:20 That's how they'll meet.
14:22 Let's go!
14:24 It's just snorkeling.
14:26 They are looking for fish.
14:28 And sea grass.
14:30 The "pagong" we made, the "ikot sa ipit,"
14:34 is based on a simple machine called wheel and axle.
14:37 It makes work easier due to the concept of mechanical advantage.
14:41 Even though we didn't use a wheel and axle,
14:44 the concept is the same for the gears.
14:47 Alambres are made from paper clips.
14:50 The gear or cog wheel is a type of simple machine
14:55 that can control the force and direction of the force.
14:59 In our experiment,
15:01 even though they don't have gears,
15:03 the alambres of paper clips serve as gears.
15:07 Due to their position and their side-to-side,
15:10 when the alambre that serves as a crank turns,
15:13 the alambre attached to the "pagong" moves.
15:17 So the "pagong de ikot sa ipit"
15:20 is a simple machine that is not only simple,
15:23 but also amazing.
15:25 I believe.
15:26 I-believers!
15:31 Look at my teddy bears.
15:33 Aren't they cute?
15:35 But, have you noticed something?
15:39 Actually, I made these teddy bears using face towels.
15:45 See? Do you like it?
15:47 Don't worry, guys. I got you.
15:49 I'll teach you how to make this using my life hack.
15:54 And these are the things we need.
15:56 Of course, a face towel.
15:58 We have rubber bands here, elastic.
16:01 We have ribbons.
16:04 And scissors.
16:06 And it's simple.
16:07 So if your face towel is like this,
16:10 you can fold it to form a square.
16:14 Then, you just roll the sides.
16:18 Make sure that one side is in the middle.
16:24 Then,
16:25 you'll also roll the other side.
16:29 So the two ends of the face towel
16:32 will meet in the middle.
16:34 Like that.
16:35 Then,
16:37 somewhere here,
16:39 hold it like this.
16:42 Then, you'll twist one of them.
16:45 Like that.
16:47 After that,
16:49 while it's twisted like that,
16:53 you'll open this one.
16:57 Then, this will serve as its head.
17:04 So now, using our bands,
17:11 you'll see that this is the head,
17:13 this is the body,
17:15 and this is the ears.
17:17 Then, for the ears,
17:19 to make it more defined,
17:21 we'll also put rubber bands.
17:24 Then,
17:33 I have a ribbon here
17:36 so that there's an additional cute outfit.
17:41 You can tie it with a ribbon.
17:43 Here on the small band,
17:45 it's up to you.
17:46 You can use a headband,
17:47 you can also use it as a scarf.
17:50 Whatever trip you're going on, go!
17:52 And there!
17:56 Aw, isn't it cute?
18:00 Ta-da!
18:01 You have a teddy bear!
18:05 Cutie!
18:06 I'll put it with Mama Bear.
18:08 And there,
18:09 they're now siblings!
18:11 It's cute!
18:12 It's so cute!
18:14 It's also colorful.
18:16 Right?
18:17 It's so cool, right?
18:18 It's really cool.
18:19 And it has a nice design.
18:21 You can put it on.
18:22 You can, yes.
18:23 Thank you, Ate Shai.
18:24 You're welcome.
18:25 Hi, Believers!
18:26 Thank you for joining us.
18:27 I hope you enjoyed it.
18:29 And we'll see you again next week
18:31 here at the happiest Sunday morning in the town.
18:33 This is...
18:34 iBELIEFS!
18:38 iBELIEFS!
