00:03 Good evening, Kapuso!

00:05 I am your brother, Kim, who will give you trivia behind the trending news.

00:09 There are many people who got lost in the explanation of the water in a beach in Capiz.

00:13 Why did this happen?

00:15 We will give you an explanation.

00:17 [music]

00:21 Shane even caught the student's eye while walking in the middle of a beach in Rojas City, Capiz this weekend.

00:27 [music]

00:28 The water in the sea turned blue.

00:31 It was really blue.

00:32 I thought it was street lights or just a moon.

00:35 I got closer and I captured it with my cellphone.

00:38 I was really amazed because it was the first time I saw it.

00:41 The light of the water in Capiz can be explained by science.

00:45 Because it is in organisms that are called bioluminescent organisms.

00:49 [music]

00:52 Brother Kim, how can a living organism turn blue?

00:56 Brother Kim, what now?

01:00 Bioluminescence is the light that comes out of a living organism.

01:04 It happens because of a chemical reaction.

01:06 Two chemicals are needed to produce bioluminescence.

01:09 The first is luciferin and the second is luciferase.

01:12 This is a cold light.

01:14 It means that less than 20% of it generates thermal energy or heat.

01:18 Bioluminescence serves various purposes.

01:20 It acts as a defense mechanism.

01:22 It is used for attracting mates or also for luring prey.

01:25 It can also be used to communicate with other organisms.

01:28 Most bioluminescent creatures are found in the ocean.

01:31 Some of them are fish, jellies, and bacteria.

01:34 In the case of the light of the sea in Roa City,

01:36 The one that you see there in the ocean is not actually just limited to us.

01:40 There are a lot of organisms.

01:42 So unless you're going to take that particular water sample and really identify the main cause.

01:47 But the most common one that produces bioluminescence are often produced by planktonic dinoflagellates.

01:53 So these are single-celled organisms that are called protists.

01:56 I was amazed by the nature.

01:58 I thought I would only see it in other places, but here, I can see it.

02:02 When we were praying last night, I saw it too.

02:04 We can't see anything that's supposedly glowing.

02:08 In Pilar Campus, it's every night.

02:10 But did you know that not only in the ocean, there are bioluminescent organisms,

02:13 there are also on the ground.

02:15 One of them was the cover of an award-winning Kapuso film.

02:18 [music]

02:23 The planktonic dinoflagellates are probably one of the most popular bioluminescent organisms on Earth.

02:29 Like other bioluminescent marine species,

02:31 the light that comes from planktonic dinoflagellates is also due to the chemical reaction that happens inside their bodies.

02:37 Aside from using their light as a defense against predators,

02:41 most planktonic dinoflagellates use their light to find a mate.

02:46 Meanwhile, for more news, tweet or comment #KuyaKim, what's next?

02:52 Always remember, it's important to know.

02:55 I'm Kuya Kim and I'll see you in 24 hours.
