00:00According to the survey of the World Health Organization in 2017,
00:04the Philippines is in the Top 10 Heaviest Drinkers in Asia.
00:08But drinks are not complete if there is no bottle.
00:14The province of Bulacan is known for their special Chicharon,
00:18which is delicious to pair with drinks.
00:20But aside from this, they also have a big bottle
00:25that comes from their vast Palayan.
00:28They just need to be patient in getting it.
00:30A big part of the province of Bulacan is agricultural land.
00:37Of course, there are a lot of farmers here,
00:38and one of the pests they consider
00:41are the eels.
00:43Because, of course, they swim in the Palayan, right?
00:48Then, they dig their nests.
00:51Then, of course, the water is wasted.
00:54And sometimes, when they plant a new crop of rice,
00:57they will swim in the Palayan.
00:59The rice will die.
01:01Am I right, Daniel?
01:02Yes.
01:03But the eels are really here, right?
01:04Yes.
01:05What are you doing?
01:06I'm swimming.
01:07Swimming?
01:08Ah!
01:11So, we will now look for holes
01:13on the side of the river.
01:16Yes.
01:16We will wait for the eels to swim.
01:19Hmm.
01:21How long will it take before they swim?
01:23About an hour?
01:2415 minutes.
01:2515 minutes!
01:28Okay.
01:29They use a tool called a sieve.
01:33They will put a ball of rice in the sieve.
01:36You just have to push it.
01:38There!
01:40Like this.
01:42Like that.
01:44It's like that.
01:45And when you push it, it will slide.
01:48So, how do we push it?
01:50We will put it in the container we caught earlier.
01:53The yellow rice eel,
01:57or eels,
01:58but the eel that was a pest back then
02:00is now a lucky one.
02:02Sometimes, when we don't have food,
02:05we sell the eel
02:06at a price of 1.60 per kilo.
02:10Sometimes, we sell it for food,
02:13for clothing,
02:14for the family's livelihood,
02:16for everyday use.
02:17We also get lucky every day
02:20when we catch eels.
02:21Kuya, tell me if someone is biting there.
02:24After waiting for a few minutes,
02:27there!
02:29Is there really one?
02:30Let me see.
02:32It looks heavy.
02:33Maybe it's just the soil.
02:34Let's pull it.
02:36There, there, there!
02:38It's so hard to get it.
02:39I don't think so.
02:41I don't think so.
02:43There!
02:49It's so hard.
02:51Of course, we caught the eel
02:53right in the kitchen.
02:57The process of making Sisig na Igat
03:01In the process of making Sisig na Igat,
03:02we first debone the fish
03:04or remove the scales.
03:06We won't be using a knife.
03:08What we'll be using is
03:10a pair of scissors.
03:11Ate Jennifer, how do we do this?
03:13We'll start from the tip.
03:15We'll cut it at the tip.
03:16At the tip?
03:17Just like that?
03:18Yes, ma'am, just like that.
03:21Until we're done, ma'am.
03:23Ah!
03:25It's hard to clean, ma'am,
03:26but it's delicious to eat.
03:29What does the eel taste like?
03:31It's delicious, ma'am.
03:32It's more delicious than pork belly.
03:34Oh, really?
03:36There!
03:37It's done.
03:38We've removed the...
03:40What do you call this?
03:41The eel.
03:42We deboned it.
03:43We deboned it.
03:44In the middle.
03:45We deboned it.
03:46It's long, right?
03:47Yes.
03:48Then, this is our fillet
03:50of eel, ma'am.
03:51It's already marinated, ma'am.
03:52It's already marinated.
03:53What are we going to do now?
03:54Now, ma'am, we're just going to
03:55cut it into pieces
03:56that are this long.
03:58Like this?
03:59Yes.
04:00Next, she's going to cut it
04:01and marinate it
04:02with salt and calamansi
04:03to remove the fishy smell.
04:05It's like it's still twitching.
04:06Yes, ma'am.
04:07Wow!
04:08Why is it like that?
04:09Oh, there!
04:10It's moving!
04:11That's normal for fish, ma'am.
04:12Huh?
04:13That's normal for fish.
04:15Oh, my God!
04:17I put salt and calamansi,
04:20but it's still twitching.
04:23That's normal, ma'am.
04:24Why is it like that?
04:25Oh, there!
04:26Never say die to this eel, okay?
04:34When the oil is hot,
04:35you can fry the marinated eel.
04:41How long will you fry it?
04:42Until the other side turns golden brown,
04:44we'll also flip it over.
04:46Oh, so it's like you're cooking
04:47lechon kawali.
04:48Yes, ma'am.
04:49Oh, my God!
04:53Oh, my God!
04:59Oh, my God!
05:00Now, we'll cook it.
05:01Okay, okay, okay.
05:03After frying it,
05:04we'll cut it into smaller pieces.
05:09Mmm!
05:10It's delicious.
05:14It's like chicharon.
05:15Yes, ma'am.
05:16That's why some of us here
05:18who are drinking,
05:19while they're cooking pork,
05:22we're just catching fish in the forest.
05:25It's like chicharon.
05:26Yes, ma'am.
05:31And then, we'll mix soy sauce,
05:33white onion, red onion,
05:35calamansi, salt, and mayonnaise.
05:39Lastly, we'll add chili.
05:41Perfect for a wrap.
05:44Sisig na igat.
05:48After mixing it,
05:49our sisig na igat is ready.
06:03Let's taste it.
06:07Mmm!
06:10It's spicy!
06:14Mmm!
06:15Actually, it's delicious.
06:18I know this is a wrap,
06:19but it's perfect with rice.
06:22It has a crunch,
06:23the igat itself,
06:24and it's not greasy at all.
06:27The seasoning is just right.
06:29I imagined it as a wrap,
06:31but actually,
06:32it can also be a dish
06:34mixed with rice.
06:38Another considered pest
06:40by farmers
06:41are the susok.
06:43They live in newly planted rice
06:46which is a source of pollution.
06:49Because usually,
06:50when there's a lot of rice,
06:52they stick to the bottom of the rice field.
06:58That's why they eat it little by little.
07:01But the pesting susok
07:03became a blessing.
07:04They were able to sell and cook it
07:07and make it into a perfect wrap.
07:11Is it also perfect for the taste
07:13of our celebrity guest
07:14whose first bite is always perfect?
07:17Our morning sunshine,
07:19Shaira Diaz.
07:21Shaira, are you ready
07:22to dive into the rice field?
07:25My dears,
07:26how are you?
07:27I'm here now
07:28in a rice field
07:30in Balagtas, Bulacan
07:32to harvest the susok
07:34which is really famous here
07:36and it's made into a wrap.
07:39Ate Luisa,
07:40so these are the susok.
07:42What do you call this kind of susok?
07:44It's called pilipit.
07:46That's why it's called pilipit
07:47because it's long.
07:49Okay.
07:50Because the susok we see in our house
07:53are the big ones, right?
07:55Yes.
07:56So this is how they look like.
07:57Do you eat this?
07:58Yes.
07:59You can also sell it.
08:01Oh, okay.
08:02Really?
08:03Yes.
08:04What kind of food do you cook?
08:06Oh, my God.
08:07I'm stuck here.
08:10Oh, my goodness.
08:11This is hard, right?
08:13Your feet will really sink.
08:17Here.
08:18So there's a lot here.
08:22It's still alive.
08:23Yes.
08:24It's really alive.
08:25It's been a long time.
08:26It's like your tradition
08:27in your place.
08:29Yes, in Bukid.
08:32The susok pilipit
08:33or hagora asperata
08:35is a freshwater snail
08:37with a black and long shell.
08:40It's usually found in rivers,
08:42creeks, and irrigations
08:44like what you can see in Bulacan.
08:47I think I saw something.
08:49It's like a pilipit lump.
08:51So,
08:52when you see it,
08:54you have to do this.
08:57There's a lot here.
08:59So the technique is
09:00you just dig it, right?
09:01Yes.
09:02Your eyes should be sharp, right?
09:04Because sometimes,
09:06they're covered with mud.
09:09There's a lot here.
09:11In fairness.
09:12They're scattered, right?
09:15Here, I saw one.
09:16Here.
09:19It's also painful on the back, right?
09:21It's like you're planting.
09:23Here.
09:25But it's also scary
09:27because you can't see it
09:29because the water is black.
09:31So whatever you put here,
09:33but there.
09:35It's just for strength.
09:37There's a hole here.
09:40There.
09:41Look.
09:42We got a lot of pilipit.
09:44There's a lot.
09:45Ate Luisa will help me.
09:47Let's taste this.
09:49Pilipit.
09:51Susong pilipit.
09:53PILIPIT
09:55PILIPIT
09:57PILIPIT
09:59There.
10:00It's so fresh.
10:01They're alive.
10:03First, Susong will clean
10:05and remove the hard part.
10:11You're so good.
10:16There.
10:17They all fell on the table.
10:21And here,
10:22Susong,
10:23we already cleaned the Susong.
10:25So what are we going to do next?
10:27We're going to cook it.
10:28We're going to cook it.
10:29Okay.
10:31We're going to sauté the ginger,
10:32garlic, and onion first.
10:40For example, you can also cook.
10:42But I can do it.
10:43I just can't do the soup.
10:45There.
10:46Let's brown it first.
10:48I hope Ma'am Cara can taste this.
10:50Ma'am Cara,
10:51I'll do my best
10:53so that
10:55we can cook this for you.
10:58Pilipit with coconut milk.
11:01When the garlic turns brown,
11:03we can now add the squash.
11:06Next, we'll add the coconut milk.
11:08Let's wait for it to boil.
11:10Until it boils,
11:11so that the squash also softens, right?
11:14Yes.
11:15Okay.
11:16Let's wait for it to boil.
11:21Let's wait for it to boil.
11:24We'll season it with whole pepper,
11:26and also crushed pepper,
11:29seasoning,
11:30and salt.
11:33We'll also add a ladle
11:35that will remove the slime from the Susong.
11:37When the squash softens,
11:39we'll get a few pieces to crush.
11:43And then we'll add the cleaned Pilipit Susong.
11:47Next, we'll add the coconut milk
11:49or the first coconut milk and Malunggay.
11:56What is it for?
11:57Why do we need to crush it?
11:59So that the squash goes into the Susong.
12:02So that when you bite it,
12:04the squash goes with it.
12:05Oh, so when you bite it,
12:07there's meat.
12:08Okay.
12:09Lastly, we'll add the crushed squash.
12:15We'll just wait for it to boil.
12:17Later, we'll cook the Susong Pilipit.
12:26Wow!
12:27Susong Pilipit!
12:30Ate!
12:32It smells so good!
12:35I'm so proud.
12:37Look!
12:38Let's drink!
12:40Let's go!
12:48There, it's still hot.
12:50Let's eat!
12:55Mmm!
12:58I already have something, but...
13:02Wait.
13:03It's sticky, but it's so good.
13:05Oh my gosh!
13:08Mmm!
13:10It's so good.
13:13Wow!
13:15It's so flavorful.
13:17Our seasonings are just right.
13:19Maybe it's better if it's a bit spicy.
13:22If you like spicy food,
13:24go!
13:25Add chili.
13:26But this is perfect.
13:28It's so good.
13:34You'll get hungry.
13:35Let's go!
13:46There.
13:47Let's pull it.
13:48There, there, there!
13:50Wait, wait, wait.
13:51It's stuck.
13:52There!
13:57It's so hard.
13:59Igat, which used to be called pesa in Palayan,
14:02is also considered a blessing by the farmers.
14:05It can be used as a dish or as a snack.
14:10Aside from igat sisig,
14:11there is also a big snack made from igat.
14:21First, cut the igat.
14:24First, saute the garlic,
14:27yellow ginger,
14:29Tagalog ginger,
14:30and onion.
14:35Then, add the sliced igat.
14:42Soy sauce.
14:44Season it with soy sauce,
14:46bay leaves,
14:48pepper,
14:49and seasoning.
14:51When the igat is cooked and softened,
14:55you can now add the coconut milk.
15:01We're done making ginata kang igat.
15:06Here, ma'am.
15:07Let's see if it's cooked.
15:08After a few minutes,
15:09you can see that it's cooked.
15:11It's cooked.
15:12It's cooked.
15:13It's cooked.
15:14It's cooked.
15:15It's cooked.
15:16It's cooked.
15:17It's cooked.
15:18It's cooked.
15:19After a few minutes,
15:20our ginata ang igat is cooked.
15:27Okay.
15:28Let's taste this ginata ang igat.
15:32It has yellow ginger.
15:34Actually, this is a side dish,
15:35but
15:36for me,
15:37when there's coconut milk,
15:38there's always rice.
15:42It looks delicious.
15:43It's delicious.
15:45This is a winner.
15:47It's delicious.
15:54The concept of a combination of alcohol and drinks
15:57was brought to us by foreigners.
16:00But,
16:01even before the Spaniards arrived,
16:03there were drinks and drinks in our country.
16:06For us Filipinos,
16:07drinking is a part of our culture.
16:11For us Filipinos,
16:12drinking is a symbol of
16:14solidarity,
16:15togetherness,
16:16and unity.
16:17We enjoy it.
16:18So, most Filipinos
16:20come from work.
16:21So, they think that
16:22after work,
16:23we need to do something
16:25to alleviate our fatigue.
16:28Because we Filipinos believe
16:30that after work,
16:32we need to be more diligent
16:33in our work.
16:35Because drinking
16:36is not considered a vice,
16:38it's a part of our culture.
16:40It's a part of what we call
16:42the cultural domain.
16:44In the continuation of our Pulutan Food Trip,
16:48there's another Pulutan
16:49that can only be caught in Palayan.
16:53These are the Palakang Bukit.
16:55Because there are a lot of places here in Balagtas, Bulacan,
16:58the farmers,
16:59of course,
17:00aside from the fish,
17:01they also catch fish.
17:03This is also caught in Palayan, right?
17:04Yes, ma'am.
17:05So, this is their last fish,
17:06Ate Jennifer.
17:07Yes.
17:08What we're going to cook is
17:09Fried Palakang Bukit, ma'am.
17:10Fried Palakang Bukit.
17:14It's just like this, ma'am.
17:15It's easy to remove.
17:16First, we'll clean the Palakang Bukit
17:18and we'll remove the skin.
17:20We'll just remove the head,
17:22and then,
17:23just like this, ma'am.
17:24We'll just pull it.
17:26To dress up the whole fish.
17:29It's like you're just taking off
17:30the skin of the fish.
17:31Yes, it's fast.
17:33We also need to remove
17:34the inside of the Palakang Bukit.
17:37Okay, so this is the
17:39fried Palakang Bukit, ma'am.
17:41Palakang Bukit, ma'am.
17:42We'll just cut it.
17:43But you can also use a knife, ma'am.
17:46Next, we'll cut the Palakang Bukit
17:47into smaller pieces.
17:50We'll add a little salt
17:52to our Palakang Bukit, ma'am.
17:54To make it taste better.
17:56We'll also add pepper.
17:58It's like you're just cooking
17:59fried chicken.
18:00Yes, ma'am.
18:01Because the texture
18:03and taste of the frog meat
18:05is like chicken.
18:07Like chicken.
18:08After that, we'll add the Palakang breading
18:10using egg and cornstarch.
18:18We can now fry it.
18:25We'll now make the sauce.
18:29We'll mix vinegar, sugar,
18:32ground pepper,
18:33and onion.
18:35You can also use ketchup, ma'am.
18:36Yes, ma'am.
18:37We'll just mix it.
18:39We already have the sauce.
18:40Instant sauce.
18:42When the frog turns golden brown,
18:43we can now take it out.
18:47Fried frog!
18:48Let's eat!
18:52And our fried frog
18:53is now ready to be eaten.
18:57Okay, let's taste
18:58this fried frog.
19:03Mmm!
19:05Actually,
19:06if you haven't tried this,
19:08think about it.
19:09You're eating fried chicken.
19:12It tastes like chicken.
19:13And it's crunchy.
19:18Mmm!
19:20It's really like chicken.
19:21The bones are just smaller.
19:24You can eat it whole.
19:33In provinces with large farms,
19:35farmers are used to eating
19:37wild fruits.
19:39But remember,
19:40not all wild fruits
19:42can be eaten.
19:45Just like the ripe palm trees
19:47or karag,
19:48if you will.
19:50Compared to palm trees,
19:51wild palm trees
19:52have a clean skin
19:54while the palm trees
19:55have a rough skin.
20:04Atinesa!
20:05Hi, Ma'am!
20:06How's the catch?
20:07Do you have any?
20:09Let's see, Ma'am.
20:10We have a catch.
20:11We caught this last night.
20:13Ah, okay.
20:14You know, guys,
20:15I just realized
20:16that these kinds of fish
20:17are very loud.
20:18So, let's see.
20:19Let's check
20:20if we caught anything.
20:21To catch a catfish,
20:23they use a net
20:25that's square-shaped.
20:27After leaving it in the water,
20:29the fish are trapped here.
20:32There!
20:33There's one!
20:35There!
20:36You're so good!
20:38There!
20:39Oh, sorry!
20:43I caught a small one.
20:46It's not a catfish.
20:47It's not.
20:48Oh, my gosh!
20:49How do I hold this?
20:51Oh, it's like a catfish.
20:59I don't want that!

21:01Catfish or climbing perch
21:03are often seen
21:04and caught in lakes
21:06and other water-abundant places
21:08like the Kampungan.
21:11These fish have a habitat
21:13in Tilapia.
21:16There!

21:41I don't want that!
21:42Let me do it, Ma'am.
21:43It's like a catfish.
21:44Let me do it, Ma'am.
21:45In order to catch this fish,
21:47it needs to be caught
21:48inside the hole.
21:49But we have one,
21:51two,
