00:00The so-called feast of the farmers in South Cotabato has become an instant blessing for the people of Madla.
00:08It's delicious to eat.
00:09If you're hungry, you can eat.
00:10If you want to increase your allowance, you can pay in UPOM.
00:13Let's go to the locals here.
00:15What will they buy?
00:17Rice or glass?
00:19Sister, what will you buy?
00:21Rice or glass?
00:23Glass.
00:24Glass?
00:25Why glass?
00:26Because it's delicious.
00:27Brother, I'm sorry.
00:28It's up to you.
00:29Rice or glass?
00:31Glass.
00:32Glass?
00:33Why?
00:34I'm used to it since I was a kid.
00:35You're still used to it?
00:36Are you also curious about what's inside the glass?
00:39Here it is.
00:41Why do people choose glass instead of rice?
00:48What's inside the glass?
00:50The tipaclong because it's delicious.
00:53The tipaclong.
00:54What do you call this?
00:55Apan.
00:56So you're the one who cooks the tipaclong?
00:59My mother.
01:00Your mother.
01:01How much is one glass?
01:03It's P50 per glass.
01:04So it's equivalent to one...
01:07Yes.
01:10You heard that right, Bierros.
01:11The weight of a kilo of rice is equivalent to a glass of apan or tipaclong.
01:16Tipaclong's daughter.
01:20Catching apan is like treasure hunting.
01:22Wait for it to darken.
01:24Use the plastic bottle and flashlight you have in your head.
01:28You need meticulous hands and sharp eyes.
01:39This is what happens when you catch it.
01:41It jumps.
01:43Then we'll put it in the container.
01:47A small pan.
01:49There's no lid.
01:54There are more apan when it rains.
01:57And it's harder to catch.
01:59It's even harder when the moon is full.
02:03This is what happens when the moon is full.
02:06The moon jumps.
02:08If I were you, I'd just buy it.
02:13So you catch it in the field.
02:16There's a catcher.
02:18There's a catcher.
02:19Then we sell it in the field.
02:21Pesos in the field.
02:22Artic, raw.
02:23Is it dead or still alive?
02:25It's still alive.
02:26Oh, it's still alive.
02:27When I put it in the freezer, it sleeps.
02:30And when the cold is gone, it comes back to life.
02:33It comes back to life?
02:34It comes back to life.
02:35Oh my God.
02:37Cryogenics.
02:39Like that.
02:40That's amazing.
02:41So this is where they sleep?
02:42Yes.
02:43If in other places, they eat chicharon or mani,
02:46here in Polo Molok, they make chicha with fried apan.
02:51When it rains in the pool, this is what you're used to.
02:55You really eat apan.
02:58What does it taste like?
02:59It's good. It's like chichirria.
03:01It's like chichirria?
03:03Can I...
03:08You eat all of it?
03:09Yes.
03:14It's like chichirria.
03:17You forgot.
03:18There's chili.
03:19There's chili.
03:21I feel like I'm going to throw up.
03:24Are there different sizes of apan?
03:27Is there a small one and a big one?
03:29It's a mix.
03:31Because there's a big one and a small one.
03:35It's good.
03:37The old curse for farmers has become a blessing
03:40because the locals are now able to make a living from it.
03:44What else is helping you from apan?
03:48To increase my allowance.
03:50Okay.
03:51To pay my debts.
03:53To pay your debts? Okay.
03:54And to eat every day.
03:56In 1998, apan started selling in the area.
03:59And Ate Beth was one of the first to see its potential.
04:02I told them to bring it to the highway.
04:04We'll try to sell it there.
04:06It took three hours.
04:08I brought mangoes and food for us.
04:12After three days,
04:15I said, let's try to cook and sell it here on the highway.
04:19Maybe it'll sell.
04:21I cooked until a lot of people started selling apan on the highway.
