00:00Oh no! We're going to Batangas, Veros!
00:10The town that's close to the mouth of the Taal Volcano.
00:13It's said that something is going to happen.
00:18Let's go to Tanawan City.
00:20Let's go one by one to see the explosions of their town's fireworks.
00:25On this trip, I have a lot of fireworks.
00:30Hi, travelers! This is your morning sunshine, Shire Diaz!
00:35Hey, Shire! It's Saturday and there's no first heat!
00:38Come with me on my trip!
00:39Let's go!
00:41Good morning, travelers! I'm Andrew Perquera, your first heated weather presenter.
00:45Today, we're here in Tanawan, Batangas.
00:48As you can see behind me, the waves are strong here in the Taal Lake.
00:51That's because of the strong wind that's blowing in the weather.
00:54It's raining! It's sunny! There it is!
00:56It's uncontrollable!
00:57Follow me on our trip!
00:59Let's go back!
01:01Wait! We're going back!
01:04We're going to be teased.
01:06Next question, we'll answer it back.
01:08Whatever the question is.
01:10We'll give you rice in return!
01:18Food trip!
01:19There's a lot of flavors.
01:20It's delicious to eat together, especially when it's raining like this.
01:25At playtime, here in Batangas.
01:28Wow!
01:34This September 8, the Siglawan or Siglang Lawa of Tanawan was officially inaugurated.
01:40The aim of this celebration is to promote tourism in the town.
01:44And one of the most anticipated celebrations is the Bankarera in the Lawa of Taal.
01:50We're showcasing the culture of the people of Tanawan.
01:53The culture of using boats.
01:56This boat was used by their ancestors in the past.
02:01And we used this boat as a way of recreation.
02:06And we also used it for competition.
02:10We met Tatay Benedicto, who has been participating in the history for three years.
02:15I feel very happy when I'm in the Lawa and I'm a boatman.
02:18Especially when we're in a position here in our Lawa.
02:23But it's not just the boats that are leading in Tanawan.
02:27There are also boats that can be carried by one hand.
02:31Wow!
02:33There's a mechanism in these mini-boats.
02:36There's a battery that connects to the back of the boat.
02:41These mini-boats also row in the river.
02:45But we only have the batteries for the rolls.
02:49Nine balls is possible.
02:51It's not like the rechargeable ones.
02:53Who came up with the idea of having an exhibition?
02:57We just saw it in other places,
03:01that there are mini-boats like that.
03:03Then we tried to make one.
03:06Until we learned from others who are interested.
03:10That's why we were able to make boats.
03:14That's why there's a competition.
03:16Jason is only 15 years old
03:18when he first tried to make his own mini-boat.
03:22These boats really go through a lot of time.
03:26How much do you spend on each boat?
03:29Maybe up to 2,500 pesos.
03:322,500 pesos?
03:33As long as the boat can run.
03:34After that, if you win, what's the prize?
03:39It depends on the sponsor.
03:42Last June, we had a race.
03:46The champion won 10,000 pesos.
03:4810,000 pesos?
03:49The second won 7,000 pesos.
03:50The third won 5,000 pesos.
03:53The fourth won 3,000 pesos.
03:54How many of you compete?
03:57There's a lot of us.
03:58I think there were 20 of us.
04:01Ready?
04:021, 2, 3, go!
04:11One of my hobbies before
04:13was remote-controlled cars.
04:17My brother and I.
04:18Actually, he started it.
04:19So, I'm familiar with what they call Dynamo.
04:22It's funny because there's no remote control.
04:26It's just the machine and the battery.
04:31It would have been better
04:32if we could see the boats in the water.
04:36But we weren't lucky with the weather.
04:40But at least there's a pool and a body of water.
04:43We could see them rowing.
04:49They also row to earn money.
04:52Aside from the Philippines,
04:53there's Cotinta, which is green,
04:55Buchi, and Puto, which are yellow.
04:58Palitaw, which is not white,
04:59and Puto Bawo, which is not ube,
05:02but a different color.
05:04No matter how many colors there are,
05:06that's how much they sell.
05:08When I established that business,
05:11I averaged a minimum of 25,000 sales per day.
05:17But before there were colors,
05:19Andy went through a dark tragedy.
05:22He was one of those affected
05:24by the eruption of the Taal Volcano in 2020.
05:27It started that night.
05:29We were still here a week after the eruption.
05:33When we left,
05:34the municipality turned off the electricity and water.
05:37So, there was no source.
05:38The volcano erupted and there was COVID-19.
05:42So, we weren't ready.
05:44We didn't have any savings.
05:46So, in order to provide for my family,
05:49I thought of a business that was fast.
05:52So, I came up with the idea of food.
05:55He thought of a product
05:57that was affordable.
05:59I started with 500 pesos.
06:01It's cheap here.
06:02It's cheap to grow.
06:03The things here,
06:04like banana leaves,
06:06we don't buy them anymore.
06:08Here in Bacolod,
06:09the banana tree is growing.
06:13Every morning,
06:14he gets these leaves
06:15to wrap around his shop.
06:17Sir, when we stack the leaves,
06:19they turn yellow.
06:20So, when we put them on the floor,
06:22they look ugly.
06:23Especially if you have an occasion,
06:24like an event.
06:26They need a good presentation.
06:29Andy also has his own way
06:30of choosing the leaves.
06:32This one.
06:33The one that doesn't have a lot of leaves.
06:35Ah, okay.
06:36The last one.
06:37Okay.
06:41I'll try it.
06:42Okay.
06:44There.
06:45There.
06:48They'll clean it one by one.
06:50And it can be used
06:51to wrap rice cakes
06:53or other things
06:54in their leaves.
06:58Sir, it's like he's getting angry.
07:00Huh?
07:01It's like he's getting angry.
07:02You know,
07:03my brother always says
07:04that when I do something,
07:05and he's holding something,
07:06it's like...
07:07It's like he's angry.
07:08Yes, it's like he's really angry.
07:09Then, sir,
07:10you'll put it on my hand.
07:11Ah, okay.
07:15Like this,
07:16we'll have our hands
07:17full playing this game.
07:18There are so many Gs,
07:20not one left,
07:21but Andy and Shana.
07:24For this game,
07:25they need to give
07:26the same answer
07:27to my questions.
07:28We'll really know
07:29how you know.
07:31How no?
07:32How…
07:34preh, preh, preh,
07:35How well
07:36do you know
07:37each other?
07:38Okay.
07:39We'll count
07:40with our hands
07:41the answers
07:42Okay, let's say we have An-sha with us.
07:45An-sha.
07:46Because you don't have I-sa.
07:49We should have it with us, right?
07:51What a waste.
07:52Where's Caloy?
07:53He's not here.
07:54He said he has a lot of money.
07:56He has a lot of money.
07:57Well, it's not An-sha-ka.
08:01It's An-sha-do.
08:03It sounds like An-sha-gwa.
08:07What is the month and day
08:12of
08:15Shaira's birthday?
08:17May!
08:18Looks like they're trying to be friends.
08:21May 3.
08:22Correct.
08:25If they both got it right,
08:27let's give free taste to the person in front of them.
08:30What is the size
08:34of

10:50So, let's go.
10:54What is this?
10:55Do you want to eat something?
10:56What, what?
10:57Grilled.
10:58Kutsita na grilled.
10:59Kutsita na grilled?
11:02Oh my God.
11:03That's what we were missing earlier.
11:07Latik.
11:08Latik.
11:09Gemab.
11:10Gemab.
11:11Okay.
11:14Why aren't you eating?
11:15I don't want to eat!
11:18Reward, reward.
11:201996.
11:22Right?
11:23It's delicious.
11:24This is what gives it color.
11:25This is what gives it victory.
11:26I mean, it's different in color because it's green.
11:29It's really the same.
11:30It's delicious.
11:31Start of the show.
11:32Who is Shaira's bias in BTS?
11:36Jungkook!
11:39We're already tired of him every morning.
11:41His mouth is full.
11:42Okay.
11:43Everything.
11:44Even the inter-serve, the cameraman, the bosses in the control booth.
11:47Everything.
11:48Bystanders.
11:49I know.
11:50Jungkook is Shaira's bias.
11:51It's Jungkook.
11:56It's like there's milk, right?
11:57What do you call that?
11:58It's filling!
12:00I don't think there's anything filling inside.
12:02Are you kidding me?
12:04No, bro.
12:05Swag.
12:06There's one thing in front of you that's like this, right?
12:07It's colorful.
12:08It's colorful.
12:09Latik is colorful and delicious.
12:12Latik is like a mochi-style food.
12:17It's delicious!
12:18It has an ube filling inside.
12:22It's so delicious.
12:23And it's crispy on the outside.
12:25I like how it's roasted on the outside.
12:28It's like a roasted...
12:30It's roasted and moist on the inside.
12:32And the drink.
12:33Ma'am AC, Ang Syarap is here to stay.
12:37It's coming back!
12:39Ang Syarap!
12:40Wow!
12:41It's beautiful!
12:43One of the traditional foods in Batangas is Bulalo.
12:46Imagine this.
12:47You look at a hot pot while you're drinking a hot soup.
12:51Ah, perfect.
12:53But what if the Bulalo turns into ice?
12:56Will you still eat this?
12:58Of course.
12:59It's a tradition.
13:00So when it gets cold, do you put ice in it?
13:04No.
13:05Of course, Bulalo soup is more delicious.
13:08It's soft.
13:10Here in Tanawan, Bulalo doesn't turn into ice.
13:13Instead, it's made into a drink.
13:16Presenting, Ma'am Chris' Bulalo Ice Cream.
13:21That's why we brought her here to the country side of Tanawan.
13:28We just want to know, Ma'am Syarap,
13:30how did you come up with the idea of using Bulalo
13:34and salted eggs?
13:36It's like a maze.
13:37Because we know that ice cream is sweet.
13:39Correct.
13:40But this is like a dish.
13:41A dish?
13:42Sir, I came up with this.
13:44I came up with different flavors
13:49so that the people of Tanawan can taste it.
13:53The people of Tanawan.
13:54How long did it take you to come up with this?
13:562013, sir.
13:58That's when I started making Bulalo Ice Cream.
14:00Isn't Bulalo from Cebu?
14:02No, it's Cebu Ice Cream.
14:04Just kidding.
14:06The process is, once the Bulalo is soft,
14:09it will cool down and the Cebu will be removed.
14:12Then we'll add the soup to the ice cream.
14:16Oh, the broth.
14:17Yes, the broth.
14:18I want to know,
14:19in that ice cream,
14:21is there beef?
14:22With strips, pieces, or bits?
14:25No, there's none.
14:27That's the full cap.
14:30Ma'am Chris sells this for 20 pesos.
14:32And she usually sells this for 2 hours.
14:36Do you have a high season?
14:38If you have a Bulalo season,
14:41maybe you have a Bula High season.
14:48If it's raining,
14:49or if it's raining,
14:51how do you sell this?
14:53Sir, this is July and August.
14:56That's when it rains.
14:58Until now, there's no rest.
15:00That's the strongest season.
15:02July and August.
15:03Not summer, sir.
15:05Not summer.
15:06Not full summer.
15:08Let's try the Bulalo ice cream.
15:11Try the Bulalo ice cream, ma'am.
15:13Colorful.
15:14It looks like vanilla, sir.
15:17It looks like vanilla.
15:19Yes.
15:21I can smell the Bulalo.
15:23You can smell it?
15:24Yes.
15:25Do you smell what you're going to eat?
15:32Sir, I'll taste the Bulalo.
15:33You'll taste it?
15:34I'll taste it.
15:35What kind of...
15:36What kind of...
15:37Do you taste the...
15:39the broth that has...
15:41lettuce, that has...
15:44Yes, it's like...
15:45corn.
15:46It's like it's all here.
15:48There, there, there.
15:49Did you smell it?
15:50Oh, yes, yes, yes.
15:52Bulalo, Bulalo.
15:54This is Bulalo.
15:56Bulalo.
15:57Wait, wait.
15:58This is the real test, okay?
16:00Okay.
16:01I remember my father,
16:02when he eats Bulalo,
16:04he wants to...
16:05when he swallows the Bulalo's broth,
16:07he'll put it in the electric fan
16:09and then his lips will become sebo.
16:12So this, I don't need the electric fan anymore.
16:14That's right, that's right.
16:17When it becomes sebo,
16:18it means it's Bulalo.
16:20When this becomes sebo,
16:21this is Bulalo.
16:24I can already taste the beef.
16:26Right?
16:27I can already taste the beef.
16:29This is the...
16:30This is the...
16:31There's...
16:32There's...
16:33There's...
16:34There's a slippery part.
16:35There's a little bit.
16:38There's a little bit.
16:39There's a little bit.
16:40There's a slippery part.
16:41And there's...
16:43There's ribs.
16:44Ribs part.
16:45There's a foil.
16:46There's a foil?
16:47There's a foil.
16:48Oh, there's a foil.
16:50Every day,
16:51Chris sells Bulalo ice cream.
16:54Maybe you have a big muscle, Chris.
16:56No, I don't.
16:58It's like a workout.
17:00Yes, ma'am.
17:01What do you want?
17:04Kiss?
17:05Don't kiss me.
17:06But I already have a wife.
17:08This is too much.
17:09Oh, cheese.
17:10She said cheese.
17:12That's Lugina.
17:13That's Chris Lugina.
17:15Is this right?
17:16That's too long, ma'am.
17:17Too long?
17:18Too long.
17:19Okay, there you go.
17:20That's a special edition Hello Kitty.
17:22Yes.
17:24There you go.
17:25It's a gift exchange.
17:26When it comes to Batangas,
17:28the food is always delicious.
17:33But here in Tanawan,
17:34the locals have a favorite.
17:38Kulawo.
17:39It's beef.
17:41It's boiled with achuete.
17:45It's an institution
17:46that can be considered its place in Tanawan.
17:48It's been 53 years
17:50since they've been selling kulawo.
17:52It's been passed on to the second generation of their family
17:54to continue their business.
17:58Good afternoon, ma'am.
17:59Good afternoon, sir.
18:00So, if you're ordering one order of kulawo,
18:03how much is that?
18:04Regular is 60 pesos
18:05and overload is 100 pesos.
18:07So, regular is 60 pesos.
18:08Did you say overload?
18:10Yes, sir.
18:11What does overload mean?
18:13It's 10 pesos here, sir.
18:16Overload is 10 pesos here.
18:17It's 10 pesos?
18:18Yes.
18:19What else do you include?
18:20Everything.
18:21All of it.
18:23Okay, next.
18:24Let's say this one.
18:25Isaw.
18:26Isaw.
18:27Okay.
18:29This one.
18:30Laman.
18:31Laman.
18:32Okay.
18:33This one.
18:34Tuwalia.
18:35Tuwalia.
18:36Tuwalia.
18:37This one looks like atay, right?
18:38Binubong.
18:39What?
18:40Binubong.
18:41Binubong?
18:42Yes.
18:43What is binubong?
18:44It's a type of fish.
18:46Can you resist binubong?
18:48Yes.
18:49This is atay.
18:50Yes.
18:51This is atay, right?
18:52Yes.
18:53Yes.
18:54There you go.
18:56What are these parts?
18:57Fat.
18:58Fat.
18:59This is what we need.
19:00Yes, sir.
19:01It's good for the stomach.
19:02For going straight to the hospital.
19:03No, sir.
19:04No?
19:05Yes.
19:06The inside of the fish is boiled for 2 hours.
19:08Then, it will be cut into small pieces.
19:11The soup will be added.
19:12And it will depend on your taste
19:14if you want to add calamansi, onion, and chili.
19:18I'm from Calamba, Laguna.
19:20We went here last night.
19:23It was cold.
19:24The weather was rainy.
19:26We liked it.
19:28It's affordable.
19:29Even for us, students, it's affordable.
19:32The soup is delicious
19:34because it's been boiling for a long time.
19:36If you taste the inside,
19:38it's really delicious.
19:44In 2020,
19:45the Taal Volcano erupted,
19:47where the town of Tanawan is located,
19:49along with the people.
19:50How many horses were left in the Taal Volcano?
19:54This is what it looks like now.
19:56Strong,
19:57healthy,
19:58and welcoming again to the tourists.
20:03We visited some of them.
20:06Sir, why are your horses so tame?
20:09It's like a dog.
20:10It's used to it.
20:12I let it ride here.
20:14You let it ride here?
20:15Yes.
20:17It's used to people who get married here.
20:20It's so cute.
20:22Did you get them from the volcano?
20:26Yes.
20:27It's like running wild,
20:29and then you let it go?
20:31Yes, we let it go.
20:32It's such a good horse.
20:35It didn't get left behind.
20:38I'll take it home.
20:39It's so cute.
20:40Can it ride a horse?
20:41What do they eat?
20:43In the morning,
20:44we feed it with wheat.
20:46In the afternoon,
20:47we feed it with corn.
20:49Okay.
20:50In the afternoon,
20:51we feed it with millet.
20:53I'm curious.
20:55How do horses sleep?
20:57Good question.
20:59It's closed,
21:00but it's standing.
21:01It's leaning.
21:02Really?
21:03They don't move.
21:04They don't sleepwalk.
21:06No.
21:07Sleep running.
21:09Sleep galloping.
21:10Sleep galloping.
21:13Horses know how to clean themselves
21:15or do self-cleaning.
21:16But Tino is doing something
21:18to groom his horses.
21:20What were you doing earlier?
21:22I was brushing the horses
21:24so that the thick hairs
21:26can be brushed.
21:27Then,
21:28we'll do the fishnet
21:29to clean the hairs.
21:33The fishnet will pass
21:35because the hairs are left.
21:37How often do you do that?
21:40Every day
21:42before we bathe them,
21:45we do that.
21:49These horses are well-maintained.
21:53Yes.
21:54When do you bathe them?
21:56Every other day.
21:57Every other day?
21:58My wife does that, too.
21:59I bathe a lot of horses.
22:00My wife does that, too.
22:02Wait.
22:03I feel like I'm related.
22:04You're related, too?
22:06I told you,
22:07men bathe their horses
22:092-3 times a day.
22:10Wow!
22:11Women do that, too.
22:12Women do that, too.
22:13Women do that, too.
22:14Men do that, too.
22:15Women do that, too.
22:16When it rains,
22:17it takes longer
22:18to bathe the horses.
22:20But most of the time,
22:21they still have a grooming session.
22:23It's a brush-up, right?
22:24That's his hairstyle.
22:25Oh, down.
22:26Like this.
22:27Is this right?
22:28I'm doing this, Tino.
22:29You like this, right, Whitey?
22:31What hairstyle do you like, Whitey?
22:33Oh, no.
22:34We'll make him a hairstyle.
22:35He needs a hairstyle.
22:37Kimpy.
22:39Kimpy, are you scared
22:40when, for example,
22:41the horses are kicking you?
22:43That's what happens to the horses.
22:44At first,
22:45they would kick me from behind.
22:47Oh, because they're aggressive?
22:48Yes, they're aggressive.
22:49How did you get rid of them?
22:50How did they become like this?
22:51I bathe them every day.
22:54That's what happens to women.
22:56They just bathe their horses.
22:57They just bathe their horses.
22:58Yo!
22:59I have a friend,
23:00his name is Shire.
23:01He's a bit grumpy in the morning.
23:03You know,
23:04when he takes a bath, he's not like that.
23:06That's funny.
23:07Fun fact,
23:08I've never been horseback riding.
23:09Ever.
23:10What?
23:11Ever.
23:12Even in Baguio?
23:13Never.
23:14Tagaytay, never.
23:15Oh, okay.
23:17That's why when I first saw
23:18how grumpy they were,
23:19especially Whitey,
23:20the horse.
23:21Whitey is different.
23:22His connection is different
23:24from Whitey.
23:25How is his connection?
23:26No, Whitey's connection
23:27is really like,
23:29you guys.
23:30Oh, like that?
23:31Yes.
23:32Meant for each other.
23:33So, of course,
23:34I used to be afraid
23:35of horse riding.
23:37That was my mindset.
23:38But now,
23:39amazingly,
23:40so good.
23:41This one is nice.
23:42So nice.
23:43Tay, is it right
23:44that this horse is gentle?
23:47I think that's right.
23:48But is it right that
23:50sometimes,
23:51there's a person
23:52who matches with a horse,
23:54like this one matches with me.
23:56Is that right?
23:57Is there something like that?
23:58Yes, there is.
23:59Shire will not be caught
24:00in bonding with the horse, of course.
24:03Guys,
24:04I chose Baya.
24:06So, how old is Baya?
24:08Baya is 5 years old.
24:10Ah, okay.
24:12He's not that naughty,
24:14he's just steady.
24:17Okay.
24:18Horses have different personalities.
24:22Earlier, someone approached me,
24:24he got away from me.
24:25Then, this Whitey,
24:26I noticed earlier,
24:27he's getting closer to people.
24:29So, this one,
24:30so earlier,
24:31he's just like that.
24:32You can try coloring him.
24:35So cute.
24:37He's just behaving, guys.
24:39It's funny.
24:40It's like you are natural,
24:42I mean, around horses.
24:43Really?
24:44It's like you're being watched
24:46out of excitement.
24:47No, I'm really surprised.
24:50But I just saw
24:51such a gentle horse.
24:54He's like a horse.
24:55Really?
24:56Actually, he's super gentle when he gets close.
24:58Because the horses I encountered,
25:00before,
25:01they're shy to people.
25:02Even though I tried.
25:03We didn't give
25:05good weather,
25:06Mr. Weatherman.
25:07And we could only maximize
25:09whatever we can, right?
25:11When we can shoot,
25:12we can shoot.
25:13This is Drew's trip.
25:14Yes, that's right.
25:15You can never say no
25:16to Drew's trip.
25:17I've been wanting to
25:18guest in here for a long time.
25:19Me too.
25:20Actually, this is my dream.
25:21I've been watching this since I was a kid.
25:22Yes.
25:23Just for you.
25:24Uncle Drew's trip
25:25with his niece.
25:27Aunt Shaka.
25:28Bro, that's beautiful.
25:29Uncle Drew with Aunt Shaka.
25:31Shut up.
25:32Shut up.
25:33Shut the f**k up.
25:37In every place we visit,
25:39the provinces have their own
25:40way of living.
25:41Here in Tanawan,
25:43they don't just eat.
25:45They have a good view
25:47of their big economy.
25:49They also have their own way
25:51of living.
25:53A way to be strong
25:55and active
25:57in the face of any
25:58obstacle or obstacle.
