00:00 [music]
00:02 Disneyland, in the middle of the city
00:04 [music]
00:12 A colorful and big house
00:15 The owner is
00:17 Iguana Man
00:19 [music]
00:21 Jellyfish, welcome to Swimming in the Swamp
00:25 [music]
00:31 Why is the water wasted?
00:33 Did it go to the water planet?
00:35 The water is wasted
00:37 It's hard to get rid of the water from the orb
00:40 [music]
00:43 All these and more here at Aha!
00:46 From one pair
00:48 to two
00:50 to three
00:52 to more
00:55 Now, almost 100 iguanas are cared for by the breeders of the city
01:00 [music]
01:02 But this is the heaviest of all
01:05 Literally heavy
01:07 How much is it?
01:09 It's a lot
01:11 [music]
01:19 In this house, there are more animals than humans
01:23 Dan!
01:25 [music]
01:32 How about Dan?
01:34 He loves caring for iguanas
01:37 I'm happy because he's a different animal
01:40 He always has me here
01:42 He's always looking after his pets
01:44 Dan was the first to take care of an iguana when he was in high school
01:47 But because he was still young and didn't have enough knowledge about this
01:50 Dan temporarily stopped taking care of it
01:53 In the year 2021, I thought of taking care of it
01:59 So I got one pair of iguanas
02:03 And I added another pair
02:07 [music]
02:09 Gradually, he learned the right way to raise and take care of iguanas
02:14 For me, if you're going to raise an iguana, start with a baby
02:18 While you're raising them, you have to teach them
02:21 Because they have different habits
02:23 Some are easy to get used to
02:25 Some are easy to get used to
02:27 Some are easy to get used to
02:29 For the cuckoo, you can't avoid it
02:31 Because if it bites your skin, your body
02:34 Especially if you don't cut it
02:36 You'll get hurt
02:38 If it bites you, you'll get hurt
02:40 [music]
02:44 Did you know that iguanas don't like cold weather?
02:47 And they love heat?
02:49 Just like the summer heat in the Philippines
02:53 But even if they're hot, they can still smell
02:58 They're also herbivores
03:01 Iguanas usually have a long lifespan, about 15 to 20 years
03:05 They also exchange skin and tail
03:08 Iguanas are the smartest reptile species
03:11 They can remember and look like their owners
03:15 The reason why he started breeding iguanas
03:18 Is because he started seeing more and more of them
03:22 I decided to breed iguanas
03:25 Because I like seeing breeders
03:28 That can produce different bloodlines or morphs
03:31 Different colors
03:33 Green, red, red hypo
03:36 These are the colors of the iguanas that Dan bred
03:40 Iguanas multiply quickly
03:43 But it depends on the breed
03:45 How many hatchlings they can produce
03:48 I didn't know that an iguana breed could hatch
03:53 From 60 to 90
03:55 But for me, it was only 50+
03:58 And all of them were successful
04:02 I only had 40 of them hatched
04:06 Dan's advice to newbies in breeding iguanas
04:13 And other exotic animals
04:15 Before you start breeding exotic animals
04:18 Make sure that the iguana you're buying
04:21 Has a legal and sufficient documentation
04:24 You also need to register with the DNR
04:26 So you have proof that you're legally breeding iguanas
04:31 If you want to be a licensed and registered breeder like Dan
04:34 You also need to get a different permit from the DNR
04:37 Dan usually sells the so-called "normal green iguana"
04:41 Which is very expensive
04:43 It only costs around 3,000 pesos per piece
04:46 With papers
04:48 Aside from making money
04:50 Another reason why Dan is still breeding iguanas
04:54 Breeding iguanas is a big help to my mental health
05:00 It's a stress reliever
05:02 It relieves fatigue and problems
05:05 That's why it's worth it
05:06 Let's go back to one of his most special pets
05:10 His biggest iguana
05:22 It weighs almost 5 kilos
05:25 And it's the size of a 7-year-old baby
05:28 Making things that make us happy
05:30 Has no equal value
05:36 Just make sure that your method is legal and safe
05:42 So that in the end, there's no blame
05:45 Aha!
05:54 The fields we found in Batangas are said to be like Disneyland
05:58 In this 6 hectares
06:03 The visitors will feel like a prince and princess
06:06 How true!
06:07 [Music]
06:23 This month, the royal palace was just opened
06:28 Their shout is "Leraw, the first biggest immersive theme park in the Philippines!"
06:34 You can see the growing castle here
06:37 Like in children's books and movies
06:39 There's also a bonus overlooking view of Taal Lake from here
06:43 Hear ye, hear ye!
06:47 The royal palace of princesses from far, far away was opened
06:50 That's why this castle princess is already a G
06:54 From castle princess, she's a passenger princess
07:03 From Tanawan Municipal Hall, it's a 10-minute drive via tricycle
07:07 And not via carriage, you can already reach the palace
07:10 When it comes to entrance fee, there's no princess treatment here
07:32 Entrance fee is 1,500 pesos
07:34 There are 2 palaces inside the theme park
07:37 Each castle has different attractions inside that you can experience
07:41 That's why, when the cat is away, the mice will play
07:45 And since Evil Stepmom isn't here
07:47 Get out of the way and enjoy, castle princess!
07:50 Ah, my dear guests, let's just stay here in the castle studio
07:58 Let's go!
07:59 [Music]
08:03 When you enter, you'll notice that the dress of the princess is like Cinderella's
08:09 What? There's a flood in the kingdom?
08:18 The water is so cold, my dear guests!
08:24 This is the flood zone or water district
08:29 They recreated the look of a flooded street
08:31 Where you can see a car that's floating
08:34 So far, I enjoyed it because of the hot weather
08:43 It's so cold inside
08:45 When you go around other attractions in the studio castle
08:48 You don't need to wear shoes and just wear socks
08:52 This is also a way to maintain cleanliness in the kingdom
08:56 [Music]
09:05 This is the infinity LED room
09:08 There are different optical illusions here that use different colors and patterns
09:12 Sometimes, we just get blinded by our eyes
09:18 [Music]
09:24 Just like a moving static image
09:26 The path here is a bit confusing because of the optical illusion
09:31 [Music]
09:38 There are also big LED walls in the cosmic projection room
09:42 You can see different visual images and videos of outer space here
09:52 If you're tired of the castle princess, this is the perfect next attraction
09:55 There's also a view of the castle pop that we'll visit later
10:08 The last attraction here is the next level of the jungle
10:13 It's a tropical rainforest
10:19 We're like in the jungle, right?
10:22 If the castle pop is just a bit chill, the amenities in the studio castle are more interactive
10:37 We're here at the castle pop, right? Let's go around
10:45 [Music]
10:49 Happy afternoon everyone! Welcome to castle pop!
10:53 In their J-Theater, you can watch animated short films
11:01 Shh! Focus on watching the castle princess!
11:12 We're now here at the Astro ballroom
11:15 The balls are so big and the color of the balls changes once you tap them
11:22 Are you looking for something relaxing and a bit action?
11:31 Well, in this room, you'll get the best of both worlds
11:35 Welcome to Chill! You can ride a person!
11:41 If you're just here for a chill ride, you can also ride their carousel
11:44 This is your car if you chose the trail
11:52 This is a mini version of the drop tower for G's in their thrilling activities
11:56 Show your hidden dance moves in their disco room
12:06 You can dance here!
12:09 There's a slide here to the last attraction of the castle pop
12:14 Slide away princess!
12:16 And last but definitely one of the most fun attractions, the giant rubber ducky room
12:24 They put 35,000 rubber balls and rubber duckies here
12:33 And rubber duckies are what they put here
12:36 No judgment even if you're swimming or you're diving in the balls
12:48 Overall, it's nice because as a whole family, we enjoyed it and our inner child is healed
13:00 It's highly recommended
13:02 Our favorite part is the rubber ducky
13:05 Because the kids really enjoyed swimming in their balls
13:11 It's a problem-free experience
13:13 You don't have to go anywhere to have a Disneyland feels
13:17 Sometimes, you'll just reach a happy place for everybody
13:24 Aha!
13:28 You'll be able to see the jellyfish because of their cute looks
13:31 But something smells fishy
13:36 Because they're not all, we can mix them up
13:39 It's not just painful
13:45 A kid got burned in the fire because of the dikya or jellyfish
13:51 It's a joke
13:54 A kid got burned in the fire because of the dikya or jellyfish
13:58 It's possible that he'll still be alive
14:00 We tried to bring CPR to revive the kid but unfortunately, it didn't happen
14:09 But what's with the jellyfish in Surigao?
14:12 Because of the tourists, they're even trying to swim in these
14:18 Oh!
14:19 Jellyfish are one of the most beautiful marine creatures
14:39 They're also called dancing sea fairies because of their graceful movements under water
14:45 But will you still accompany them dancing if they're that beautiful?
14:49 There's something scary and mysterious
14:52 Our free diver, Nada, is one of the jellyfish that got stung
15:01 Instead of fish, Nada will spearfish instead
15:04 Jellyfish will dive on her
15:06 The incident left a red mark on her face
15:12 Despite the name, jellyfish are not fish but invertebrates or backboneless animals
15:17 They don't have a brain and heart
15:20 They have a jelly-like body shaped like a bell or a bell
15:24 And their tentacles are attached here
15:26 If it's a Siphozoa or the true jellyfish, they can eat microscopic animals or zooplankton
15:37 And the box jellyfish, which is a class Cubozoa, uses their long tentacles to catch big prey like fish
15:51 They're found in the ocean, in all parts of the world
15:55 And they're often found in coastlines
15:58 Their tentacles are armed with tiny stinging cells called nylons
16:05 And these tiny stinging cells called nidosites
16:07 These nidosites produce nematocysts or tiny stingers that carry venom
16:14 So, their tentacles have two main functions
16:20 First, they catch their prey
16:23 And second, they defend themselves
16:27 The box jellyfish or as I call it, the most powerful type of jellyfish
16:34 The box jellyfish have a strong invenomation or sting
16:39 You can be hospitalized or you can die
16:44 What if there's a jellyfish that will leave a painful mark on us?
16:52 What if, I'm telling you, there's a place in the Philippines where you can still smell the "stingless jellyfish"
17:03 Here in Sohoton Cove National Park, jellyfish are a treat for tourists
17:08 Just two and a half hours away from the island of Siargao
17:14 You can find one of the few locations in the world where you can interact with the friendly stingless jellyfish
17:20 [Music]
17:36 One of the swimmers here, the vlogger Jared Azul, and his wife Rachel, who came from Legazpi, Albay
17:45 We went to Siargao last year, April 2023
17:50 We had no idea that there's a jellyfish sanctuary in Siargao
17:55 Because our expectation is to see beautiful beaches and surfing
17:59 And our idea for the sanctuary is to have a fish sanctuary
18:04 But to imagine what the jellyfish sanctuary looks like, it's like a first time
18:11 They know when they have a catch
18:15 Hello my friend!
18:18 It's overwhelming to see that there's so many of them
18:21 We didn't expect that there's so many jellyfish
18:25 You can't see any area in the ocean without jellyfish
18:29 Jellyfish don't sting here
18:32 But according to an expert, there are still stinging cells in the sea
18:38 But there's nothing to be afraid of
18:43 Jellyfish may have stinging cells, but we don't feel it
18:49 Because it's smaller
18:51 And secondly, their design is not for bigger prey or food
19:03 Every March until the end of May, is the best time to swim with the cute jellyfish in this place
19:10 How was Jared's meet and greet with the jellyfish?
19:13 I was stung by a jellyfish when I was a kid
19:16 But when I saw them, they were so cute like jelly ace
19:20 That's why the stigma of being afraid of jellyfish is not fulfilled
19:28 Jared says that swimming with jellyfish is memorable
19:32 We can describe the experience as amazing and fantastic
19:38 I also changed my point of view on jellyfish
19:41 Instead of being afraid, they can be cute and harmless
19:46 According to the expert, it's better to look at the jellyfish and not to touch them
19:51 If you're in the ocean or swimming, don't touch any marine organisms
19:59 Because sometimes we don't know that we can harm them
20:07 They also have a role that is affecting the ecosystem under the ocean
20:12 Truth be told, there's no intention to harm the jellyfish since ancient times
20:20 That until now, they're still a threat to us
20:23 So if we're going to visit their world, we should be careful
20:31 I'm going to swim with the jellyfish
20:34 [Music]
20:56 you
