00:00Kuya Kim, what are the first three things you think of when you hear the word Batangas?
00:06Marako, balisong, and coffee.
00:10Kuya Kim, this is one of their main dishes.
00:13The ingredients and the process are simple, but there's something special about it.
00:17It's panucha.
00:18Oh, panucha.
00:19That's right.
00:21You should know my story.
00:23Oh!
00:28If you combine the sweetness of peanuts and the sweetness of sugar,
00:33you can make a panucha that will make the town of Batangas proud.
00:46In front of the nearby tables and hot towels,
00:49the workers in Taal Batangas are busy making their panucha.
00:55Bet, who is 75 years old, has been in the business for more than 30 years.
00:59In 1990, she and her husband, Leopoldo, started making panucha.
01:05At first, my husband was just a vendor.
01:10We couldn't rely on him as a vendor.
01:13We needed to earn a lot.
01:16When our customers started increasing,
01:20and I started seeing suppliers,
01:22we started making our own panucha.
01:25Bet is proud of their panucha
01:28because not only does the taste of their panucha change,
01:31their baskagan or molde is also made of wood
01:34that has different sizes.
01:36Even the small drumsticks that are used to spread the panucha are also made of wood.
01:41They buy these tools and they last for 10 years.
01:45We can't afford to buy gasol,
01:49because it's too hot.
01:51We need it.
01:53In the book, which tells the story of the historian and professor Jaime Salvador Corpuz,
01:59it is said that the panucha of Taal Batangas is one of the versions of the panucha of Samani.
02:05Before the arrival of the Americans,
02:07the making of the panucha of Samani was simpler
02:09because they just combined the mani and the coconut milk.
02:13First, the Americans taught them how to add sugar
02:16and how to shape it into a circle.
02:19The panucha is one of the delicacies of the so-called El Pasubat of Taal Batangas.
02:25We have what we call El Pasubat.
02:28These are the specialty products of Taal.
02:31This is E for empanada,
02:34L for longganisa,
02:36P for panucha,
02:38S for suman,
02:40B for balisong, barong,
02:42and then T for tapa.
02:44In making the panucha,
02:46first, they will dissolve it in water and boil the red sugar.
02:49Then, they will pour the mani.
02:51They will boil the mani until it's cooked.
02:53After 30 minutes,
02:55they will set it aside before pouring it in a basin and spreading it.
02:59When the panucha has cooled and formed,
03:01they will remove it from the mold and wrap it.
03:05Depending on the quantity,
03:07the panucha can cost from P10 to P35.
03:14It's not too sweet.
03:16It's just right. It's balanced.
03:18It's delicious.
03:19It's just right in taste.
03:21And it has a lot of latinas.
03:24Even though Beth and her husband are old,
03:27they still have plans to stop making panucha.
03:30But she is already preparing her children for their sweet business.
03:34My husband and my children's studies helped us a lot.
03:39For our maintenance, we get the medicine here.
03:42The ingredients are simple.
03:44The process is also simple.
03:46The panucha made by Taal Batangas
03:48is a smiley panucha.
