00:39I wonder...
00:40The questions of Juan, are there answers?
00:42I wonder!
00:49Wow! Adventure!
00:54So great!
01:00No matter how difficult the journey
01:08Just hold on
01:14Because no matter how challenging the experience
01:19It's definitely worth it in the finish line
01:30Do you know that before we reached this beautiful view?
01:50We went through a lot of adventures
01:53Of course, let's take a look at the Philippines first
01:57Can you see what I can see?
02:00It's like we're in another country
02:05This is so beautiful
02:12Wow!
02:14It's just a proof that one thing is more delicious when it's hard
02:28So you're the rodeo king?
02:29Yes
02:30What about Bianca?
02:34It's delicious
02:35Do you eat pork?
02:36I eat it even with a spoon
02:39Just like the stories that we're going to meet tonight
02:42Our wanderers came from poverty but succeeded
02:46No matter how difficult the journey
02:54It's definitely worth it in the finish line
03:00Wanderers, welcome to Bukidnon!
03:03Woohoo!
03:12Bukidnon province is known for its rich mountains
03:18Cool climate and vast fields
03:24That's why it's called Highland Paradise of Nildanao
03:29Its name comes from the Bisayan word Bukid which means mountain
03:38To get to Bukidnon from Manila
03:42You need to take a plane to Cagayan de Oro Airport
03:49After landing at Cagayan de Oro Airport
03:53You need to travel for 2 to 3 hours to Bukidnon
03:59My first stop, of course, is one of the most famous markets here in Bukidnon
04:05It's nothing else but what they call the Comunal Ranch
04:10Of course, before we go to my cowboy trip
04:15I need to buy a hat first
04:18This is what they call a cowboy hat
04:21Come with me, my wanderers, let's buy one
04:23What color is good?
04:25Is it this? Is it this?
04:27Is it this?
04:28Mini, mini, my Nemo
04:30Which one should I choose?
04:32This one
04:35This is beautiful
04:36How much?
04:37How much?
04:38150
04:40After buying the cowboy hat, it's all set
04:43How can I get there?
04:45It's so tight
04:46This is perfect
04:47Sir, sir
04:48Can I go down and up?
04:50Can you handle me?
04:51Yes, camera 2
04:52Can I go in front?
04:54Just kidding
04:57To get to the Comunal Ranch, you need to climb a mountain
05:02Ride a Haval-Haval
05:04Wow! Adventure!
05:06The Haval-Haval is 150 pesos per trip
05:13Delicious!
05:14After a 15-minute hike
05:21The mountains are getting higher and more beautiful
05:24The people will greet you
05:29Hey, my wanderers, this is not New Zealand
05:32This is Bukidnon
05:35Guys, the mountains are so beautiful
05:37And I'm the only person here, Mama Sue
05:40Wow!
05:41All the things you see are statues
05:44Comunal Ranch
05:49The Comunal Ranch is a place where different kinds of animals are taken care of
05:56It is located in the town of Impasugong
05:59Home of the finest cowboys in the country
06:05Horses are usually used by the locals here
06:08For tourists
06:11For farm work
06:13And also as a means of transportation
06:17That's why I visited Empoy at the Comunal Ranch
06:21What else? Horses!
06:24We're getting closer
06:26Wanderers, I'm surrounded by horses
06:30So, we're going to ride a horse
06:32This is my first place
06:34Can I bite you?
06:35I'm scared
06:39This is my first time, Wanderers
06:41But I trust you guys
06:43Love you, guys
06:44Whitey, don't do that to me
06:48And after a few minutes of force
06:52I'm happy because
06:53I'm not used to riding a horse
06:56I'm not afraid
06:57Because I know that they will remember me
07:00I'm more afraid of you
07:06Woo!
07:19And of course, Wanderers
07:21After welcoming me earlier
07:23Now, we're going to meet the cow
07:26Oh, I mean cowboys
07:31And here at the Comunal Ranch
07:34Known as the Rodeo King
07:37For 15 years
07:39Cowboys have been the main livelihood
07:42Of our Wanderer, Jansli
07:46Why are you called the Rodeo King?
07:50We're not cowboys, sir
07:51We play rodeo, sir
08:03How to ride a horse without getting hurt?
08:05Hold the horse
08:06Hold it
08:07Hold it like this
08:09Stretch your arm
08:10Like this?
08:11Yes, here
08:13Here?
08:14Here, sir
08:17Here, sir
08:18How can I spread my arms?
08:19Closer, sir
08:20I want to
08:21Yes, there
08:26Press here, sir
08:27Your foot here
08:28Here, here
08:29Yes, there
08:30Wait, it's okay
08:31I rode it earlier, right?
08:32I'm okay
08:33I just want our Wanderers to learn
08:36That that's the proper way to ride a horse
08:40The tourists who visit the Comunal Ranch
08:43Are offered a horse tour
08:46For 200 pesos
08:48And because of his long term job
08:51He was called the Rodeo King of Ipasugong
08:56So, you're the Rodeo King
08:57Yes
08:58What about Bianca?
09:03But, Wanderers
09:04Aside from horses, there are also cows here
09:08Comunal Ranch is the only ranch owned by the municipal government of Ipasugong
09:14And only in one in the Philippines
09:16For example, I have a cow
09:18I'll put it here
09:19And I'll pay the municipality
09:21And then, in return
09:23The cowboys here will take care of it
09:27Because of the beautiful landscape
09:29The ranch where the cowboys will take care of the animals
09:33Has become a popular tourist spot
09:38Come on, let's go to Bukidnon!
09:47Wanderers, are your eyes full of the Comunal Ranch?
09:52Well, just wait and see
09:54There it is
09:57Our next destination
09:59A place that can still be found in the town of Ipasugong
10:03The Rotetix Ridge Camp
10:08And we'll be joined by our Wanderer, Hav
10:12Hav, proud Higaonon and Ipasugongon
10:20Since I was young
10:21It's been really my dream to become a beauty queen
10:24I represented the barangay where the Rotetix Ridge Camp can be found
10:28Which is the barangay that I always go to
10:33Let's go!
10:37Before getting to the top of the Rotetix Ridge
10:39You need to ride a 4x4 pickup truck
10:42For at least one hour
10:45Hi, Wanderers!
10:46The road here is a bit slippery
10:48That's why you need to hold on tight
10:54The journey is challenging
10:56But the views are amazing
11:02So, in front of me right now
11:04You can see the beauty of the mountain
11:07So, in front of me right now
11:09You can see the beauty of the mountain
11:15While in the middle of the journey
11:17I'll show you this perfect trail
11:20For your hashtag travel goals photos
11:27But let me remind you, Wanderers
11:29If you're going to ride this trail one at a time
11:33This trail can only carry 1,000 kilos
11:36And it will pass through wood
11:42Because it's rich in mountains
11:44The climate in Bukidnon is cold
11:46The climate reaches up to 15 degrees Celsius
11:49In the upper part of the province
11:51It's also normal for it to rain here every day
11:54Throughout the year
11:55Because of our climate
11:57They call it the Baguio of Mindanao
12:03After a journey of less than an hour
12:10I'll show you this beautiful view
12:17Wanderers, welcome to Rotipix
12:24You're really one with nature here in Rotipix
12:27Because this is where the mountains rise
12:33The cold climate reaches up to 15 degrees Celsius
12:37It's accompanied by a fresh breeze
12:40Wanderers, one of the must-visit spots here in Rotipix
12:44Is this spot where you can take a nap while swinging
12:53One time, the tagline of Duyan in Rotipix was trending
12:58Swing your worries away
13:00It went viral on Facebook
13:03Thousands of shares
13:05That's where it all started
13:10After enjoying the view
13:12Hab is dancing to the local music
13:26Even though I grew up here in Embasubong
13:28It's my first time joining them
13:31It's a fun experience
13:33They also taught me the proper steps
13:41Bukidnon is not only rich in the blessings of nature
13:44The culture of their province is also rich
13:47Bukidnon is home to seven tribes in Mindanao
13:51Second to the largest tribe in the Philippines
13:54Bukidnon
13:56Higaunon
13:57Talaandig
13:58Manobo
13:59Tigwahanon
14:01Matigsalug
14:02and Umayamnon
14:06Here in Talacag
14:07The Higaunon tribe has the largest population
14:12The Higaunon tribe is very brave
14:16They have a lot of culture
14:20They have a lot of rituals
14:24And the place where they perform their rituals
14:27Can be found in one of the most beautiful waterfalls
14:30Mindamora Falls
14:32Which is considered the second highest waterfall in the Philippines
14:37And today
14:38I wonder team will be joined by
14:40Janelle, Albert, Adrian, and Randy
14:45Local residents of Bukidnon
14:47They are fond of climbing mountains together
14:51That's why today
14:52They will try to climb Mindamora Falls
15:02We are now in the receiving area
15:05Mabuhay!
15:06Good afternoon to all of you
15:08Sir, Ma'am
15:09Let's do a logbook first
15:11After the logbook
15:14We will go to the viewing deck
15:19After the tour guide and locals are with us
15:22They will walk again to climb the mountain
15:24Within 12 minutes
15:26Until the view deck of the falls arrives
15:35But before we get there
15:37Mommy Sue
15:38Looks like Mindamora Falls doesn't want to show us
15:41Because of the strong rain
15:43The falls is covered by fog
15:51Our friends Janelle, Albert, Adrian, and Randy
15:54They are fond of climbing mountains together
15:57That's why today
15:58They will try to climb Mindamora Falls
16:04But before we get there
16:05Mommy Sue
16:06Looks like Mindamora Falls doesn't want to show us
16:08Because of the strong rain
16:09The falls is covered by fog
16:12But
16:13There is a ritual done by the locals
16:15That will make them leave the fog
16:18Here, when we have visitors
16:21We will do a ritual
16:23For us, they are open to listen to our ritual
16:27Because the ritual is a prayer
16:30For those who want to go to the waterfalls
16:35Before the ritual starts
16:37They will eat together
16:39Tobacco, manika, mamaon, and apog
16:43This ritual is a way for the people
16:45To ask for permission from nature
16:47To see Mindamora Falls
16:56Feeling proud and safe
16:58They will be given a prayer guide
17:04After the ritual
17:05It's different
17:15Here you can see the breathtaking view
17:17Of Mindamora Falls
17:23Here in Mindamora Falls
17:25The waterfalls are very beautiful
17:28And it's very high
17:32Tourism in the area
17:34Is a big help to the locals
17:38That's why they prefer
17:39To have more tourists
17:41Hello, Kawander
17:43If you want to come here
17:45To Bayug Mindamora Falls
17:47You should come here
17:48You are very welcome
17:52Hello, Kawander
17:53I'm here in Bukidnon
17:55The fruit basket of Mindanao
17:57That's why the fruits here
17:59Are just like this
18:02Pineapple
18:07In Bukidnon
18:08You can find the biggest
18:10Pineapple plantation in the Philippines
18:12The climate here is perfect
18:14For planting fruits
18:15And the land is fertile
18:19Now, the pineapple plantations
18:21Are just around 30,000 hectares
18:24That's why Bukidnon
18:26Has a lot of pineapple products
18:30One of them is the
18:31Paula's Pineapple Delight
18:32It's a bottle of pineapple products
18:35Like pineapple vinegar
18:37Pineapple jam
18:38And pineapple chili sauce
18:41Is that allowed?
18:43Here in Bukidnon
18:45We don't have
18:47When you go there
18:49We don't have anything to send
18:51Because when you go to Bohol
18:53There's really calamay
18:55Or when you go to Davao
18:57There's really durian pastries
18:59Durian jams and all
19:01Here in Bukidnon
19:03We don't have anything to send
19:05So that's what I saw
19:07That I can do
19:11But those pineapple products
19:13Are not just sauce
19:16They also mix it with food
19:18Yes, Kawander
19:20Here we have Ms. Paula
19:22She will teach us
19:24How to cook
19:26One of the most native dishes
19:29Here in Bukidnon
19:31Ms. Paula, what are the ingredients?
19:34The native dish here in Bukidnon
19:36Or what the nomads eat
19:38When there's no food to buy
19:40Is our dakan
19:42Dakan or taro
19:44The gabi here
19:46It just grows anywhere
19:48So it's like a dish for the natives
19:50Native dish
19:52With a twist
19:54Ms. Pao, is this pineapple
19:56Really included in the dish?
19:58Actually, no
20:00But I added a twist
20:02To make it a little special
20:04We also have a little pork
20:06To make it special
20:08There, that's delicious
20:10My dad is from Talaandig
20:12My dad is from Higaunon
20:14This is always our dish
20:16When there's no food to buy
20:18Because the gabi just grows
20:20Anywhere
20:22So that's it
20:24Next, we will add
20:26The star of this dish
20:28The pineapple chili sauce
20:30Dakan
20:32And pineapple chunks
20:34Ms. Paula, why did you choose
20:36To add pineapple?
20:38Because the sweetness of our pineapple
20:40Here in Bukidnon
20:42When you taste it, you'll know
20:44Yes, I really need to taste it
20:46And I'm excited
20:48And it's not done yet
20:50We will also add pineapple jam
20:52To make it more delicious
20:54After a few minutes
20:56Of boiling
20:58Dakan is now cooked
21:10Wow
21:14It's delicious
21:16Do you eat pork?
21:18Yes, even with a spoon
21:20It's like
21:22Bicol Express
21:24Like Bopis
21:26Laeng
21:28Actually, it's laeng
21:30Laeng?
21:32Yes
21:34That's laeng
21:36As in
21:40One more
21:42It's delicious here
21:44I really like to eat laeng
21:46Because in Bulacan, we put
21:48Susung filipino
21:50Because of Paula's unique product
21:52Her business flourished
21:54Her products are available
21:56In different stores in Bukidnon
21:58Life is not that good
22:00Because
22:02Many challenges
22:04I had a difficult childhood
22:06Because of poverty
22:08That pushed me to
22:10Work hard in life
22:12Paula's family recipe
22:14Is pineapple jam
22:16She's still in college
22:18She sells it to help her
22:20With her studies
22:22Because of pineapple,
22:24She's now a successful business woman
22:26I want to pass it down
22:28To the next generation
22:30To my children
22:32My recipe, I hope
22:34If God allows
22:36Even if
22:38I'm not in the world anymore
22:40I can still eat it
22:42I wonder
22:44Did you enjoy our Bukidnon adventure?
22:54Wait, there's more
22:56Next week, we have a lot of places
