00:00 We met a guy who is just good at lifting big pieces of stuff.
00:06 And he's lifting these while crossing the...
00:09 Alhambra!
00:10 Wow!
00:28 Oh, did you take that?
00:30 It's high, right?
00:32 I don't think I can lift that.
00:37 Papa?
00:39 Good thing we met Boy Alhambra first.
00:43 This is Edgar Sabado Jr.
00:48 Or better known as Boy Alhambra.
00:51 He was born that way because of his ability.
00:57 He was born in Alhambra.
01:00 Alhambra was almost Edgar's hometown.
01:07 He could lift,
01:08 carry and wear clothes,
01:11 sit,
01:17 eat,
01:21 and play guitar.
01:23 He even had a siesta.
01:26 Wow, he's really a philatelist.
01:28 Edgar's amazing talent
01:31 started when he watched a siesta like this when he was a kid.
01:35 I first practiced this at my grandmother's shrine.
01:39 And when I saw this, I was proud of myself
01:42 and I was different from the kids in the mountains.
01:45 I'm proud of myself.
01:47 I'm happy with the skills I learned.
01:55 Phenombolism or tightrope walking is what Boy Alhambra does.
02:01 This is the art of walking on a thin wire or a rock.
02:05 This art requires a strong balance, focus, and skill.
02:12 This is called phenombolist.
02:18 The earliest evidence of tightrope walking
02:20 is from ancient civilizations in China,
02:23 Egypt, Greece, and Italy.
02:25 Boy Alhambra is really hard to do.
02:29 Now, in the morning and evening,
02:35 Boy Alhambra fulfills their daily needs.
02:38 But if he has free time,
02:43 he can balance on the tightrope he walks on.
02:46 Edgar, you're here.
02:53 Hey, I'm just here.
02:56 Since he learned to walk on the tightrope,
02:59 he can now walk while his hands are at his back.
03:02 He can now walk on a wire
03:10 that has two containers full of water.
03:13 Or he can even wear shoes.
03:16 He can do all of these on a 10-feet-high,
03:20 or a 10-feet-high wire without a harness.
03:23 Edgar spends a lot of time practicing
03:29 so that he can perfect his stunt.
03:31 When I first started, I practiced for three days.
03:35 I've improved my skills.
03:38 Even though his stunts are circus-like,
03:41 he's often invited to parties.
03:43 People's reactions are different.
03:47 Some are happy with what I do,
03:50 and some are scared.
03:52 Today, Boy Alhambra will sample
03:58 a spectacular exhibition.
04:00 He'll walk on a wire
04:05 while passing a long,
04:07 and big, 20-kilo cross.
04:11 [music]
04:13 Boy Alhambra's neighbors seem to be excited.
04:26 He's not done yet.
04:30 He added another one,
04:32 and walked on a wire.
04:34 [music]
04:36 In total, Boy Alhambra's wooden harnesses
04:43 weigh 35 to 40 kilos.
04:45 But even though he adds more to Edgar's weight,
04:49 it still doesn't look like the wire he's stepping on
04:52 is steady.
04:53 The wire's strength depends on the material,
05:00 diameter, and type of construction.
05:03 A thicker wire is stronger.
05:05 Edgar's harness is 1.6 millimeters thick.
05:10 A thing's strength is measured
05:12 by the tensile strength of the wire.
05:15 It's measured in megapascals.
05:17 The tensile strength of the wire
05:19 is the greatest stress it can bear
05:21 before it breaks.
05:23 The steel wire Boy Alhambra uses
05:25 has a strength of 370 to 460 megapascals.
05:29 This strong wire can lift
05:31 almost 100 kilos or two bags of rice.
05:34 Boy Alhambra's next step
05:37 is to show it on camera.
05:39 He'll try to jump off a 20-feet-high wire.
05:43 Can he do it?
05:45 To make sure Boy Alhambra's safety,
05:51 he'll put on a harness.
05:53 The rescue team will also be there.
05:56 He'll climb up the wire
05:59 and cross it.
06:01 It's too dangerous.
06:03 His team members will take their own video.
06:06 Boy Alhambra started to jump off the wire.
06:10 The audience seemed to be shocked.
06:22 But how does a person
06:28 jump off a strong wire?
06:30 According to the expert,
06:33 the center of mass has a connection.
06:36 The center of mass is the point
06:40 of a thing's body
06:42 that can be described as stable.
06:46 The center of mass is important
06:50 to maintain stability.
06:54 In the case of our tightrope walker,
06:58 we can say that he needs to maintain
07:02 his center of mass directly on the rope
07:05 so that he won't fall while walking.
07:08 Finally, our hero succeeded.
07:14 Thank you.
07:15 I'm amazed by Boy Alhambra's talent
07:18 because he has no talent here.
07:22 I want to show the world
07:26 that I can show my talent
07:30 to the world.
07:33 We want to thank
07:35 UP Combrosoc Gandingan Awards
07:39 for recognizing AHA
07:41 as the Most Development Children's Program.
07:44 You can expect more fun learning
07:46 from the amazing team of AHA.
07:49 Thank you.
