00:00Do I look like I have an answer to my question?
00:04I told you, I have an answer to my question, but it's not a fish.
00:12What is it?
00:13It's a fish.
00:15What is it?
00:16It's a fish, that's what I said.
00:18To be honest, I don't want to answer,
00:23but my conscience wants to.
00:30When they said fish, it felt like something was happening to me.
00:34I was so happy.
00:40I am Apolloina Morales,
00:43the mother of fish,
00:45the queen of fish in Angono.
00:49I am the fish queen of Angono.
01:00In 1972, no one sold fish, no one.
01:10My dream was to sell fish.
01:18I caught fish, but there was no fish.
01:23The water rose, in 1972, the rain stopped.
01:30My house was flooded.
01:33The fish I caught in the highlands,
01:38their house was also flooded.
01:42I don't know if I caught fish,
01:46I don't know if there were fish.
01:51I told my husband,
01:54I told my husband,
01:56we will sell fish.
01:58He said, no.
02:00The water was so high, there was no place to sit.
02:05When he got closer, I told him,
02:09I will sell fish.
02:11He said, yes.
02:14I told him, yes.
02:16He said, but not fish.
02:22What?
02:23Fish?
02:24What?
02:25Fish?
02:26I said,
02:28where will I get fish?
02:30The water reached our fish,
02:33the fish was floating.
02:35He said,
02:37you will catch fish and sell them.
02:46To tell you the truth,
02:49I am not answering back.
02:51But my husband wants it.
02:54And we are having a hard time in life.
02:57When he said, fish,
02:59as if he did something to me.
03:02I was so happy,
03:04but my husband got angry.
03:07He said, he will sell all the fish I catch.
03:10I accepted it,
03:12but he said,
03:13that's fish.
03:14I said, is that bad?
03:16I said,
03:18if you don't want it,
03:19I will do it.
03:21I will sell it.
03:23I will take care of it.
03:25I said that.
03:32There was a carpenter
03:33who was working on our small house.
03:36He contradicted my husband.
03:39He said, what is that?
03:40I will cook fish.
03:42What fish?
03:44Papaya.
03:45I said that.
03:46And where will you get that?
03:48I saw him buying fish.
03:52He was drinking beer.
03:54I said,
03:56I will sell it to Tito Riano.
04:00He said,
04:02aren't you ashamed?
04:04Why would I be ashamed?
04:06Why would I do that?
04:10I said,
04:12if you don't buy it,
04:13I will bring it to you at 3 o'clock.
04:16When it's already 7 o'clock,
04:19and there's nothing to sell,
04:22you have a tricycle,
04:24you bring it to us,
04:26and we will cook it for you.
04:28When it's almost 7 o'clock,
04:31I said,
04:32there's nothing to sell at 7 o'clock.
04:34You will have to pay for it.
04:37How will I pay for it?
04:39It's all gone.
04:42I can't hide my happiness.
04:45I'm so angry.
04:51What I'm really buying,
04:53no one is selling it,
04:56just me.
04:57That fish,
05:01before I made it,
05:03it has a history.
05:05The peso of that day,
05:08it's a hundred pesos now.
05:11If you buy it at 7 o'clock,
05:13at 7,000 pesos,
05:15it's 700 pesos.
05:17That's why we bought
05:19two lots of land.
05:22We are having a hard time.
05:25I don't know how I will make a living
05:28for my seven children.
05:32I fed them well
05:34and not in a bad way.
05:43My name is Maria Teresa Cruz.
05:46I am the daughter of Mrs. Apolonia
05:49who started the Itik here in Angono.
05:52I started learning how to make Itik.
05:57Of course, since I am the daughter,
06:01I saw what they were doing.
06:04I learned how to make Itik.
06:07I learned how to make Itik.
06:10I saw what they were doing,
06:13how to make it.
06:15My husband,
06:17we are the ones who made it.
06:19He doesn't make Itik anymore
06:22because he is old.
06:24Especially now,
06:26he is old.
06:28He can't make Itik anymore,
06:30he can't do it anymore.
06:32Since I got married,
06:34I am the one who makes Itik,
06:36the two of us got married.
06:39When someone buys Itik,
06:42they will ask,
06:44do you need sauce?
06:46They will ask like that.
06:49I told my mother,
06:51how much sauce?
06:53My mother said,
06:54let's make sauce.
06:56We made sauce.
06:58Of course, when you make it,
07:00when others see it,
07:01they will also make it.
07:03Because the sauce is really a partner.
07:06When you buy Itik,
07:08it really has a sauce.
07:16Fried Itik, 240.
07:25My mother said,
07:27how old are you?
07:29My mother said,
07:32the queen of Itik is in Angono.
07:36I am the queen of Itik,
07:38in Angono.
07:40My mother said,
07:42the queen of Itik is in Angono.
07:45Even though I am poor,
07:47I didn't study.
07:50I am far from my country.
08:01We have our own land.
08:06Even our children have their own house.
08:10So I am really thankful
08:12to Itik and to my mother.
08:15Even to the one up there,
08:17Viva.
08:25I am thankful
08:27to everyone who supports me
