00:00Good evening, Kapuso! I am Kuya Kim and I will give you a trivia behind the trending news.
00:10There is a jeepney in Leyte that is not only traffic, but also the waves.
00:15This jeepney is floating in the sea.
00:21The jeepney is the king of the road.
00:23But there is a jeepney that is floating in the sea.
00:31This is the water jeepney made by RG.
00:33They were curious. A lot of people made a video about it.
00:36RG made the water jeepney for 5 months.
00:38I bought a junk jeepney. That's the only design I made.
00:43It still has a battery. It's just like a jeepney.
00:45We just put an ellipse. It's like a boat.
00:48It can be ridden by 6 passengers.
00:50But RG clarified that this is not for cruising.
00:53We just used it for cruising. I didn't rent it.
00:56And to make it more fun, he plans to upgrade it.
01:00I will change the engine. Then I will make it work in the sea.
01:07Kuya Kim, why do jeepneys become the king of the road?
01:10Kuya Kim, what now?
01:12Jeepneys are not only a symbol of our culture.
01:15It is also a part of the everyday life of many of our countrymen.
01:18Because it can be massaged, it is one of the most popular public transportation in the country.
01:23That's why it deserves to be the king of the road.
01:26But before there were jeepneys in the time of the Americans,
01:29until after the Second World War.
01:32Here in the Philippines, there are what are called auto-kalesa or jeepneys.
01:36These are cheap imported vehicles that also served as share taxis at that time.
01:40But after World War II, most of the American military vehicles were sold to the Filipinos.
01:47This is their Kinostomys.
01:49It is equipped with an iron roof, a longer rear part, and a wooden and steel design.
01:54This is the first jeepney we know of.
01:57Do you know the famous design of jeepneys?
02:07Before the jeepney modernization program was launched in 2017,
02:10this is what most of the jeepneys we drive look like.
02:14Iconic!
02:15One of the so-called pioneers who remodeled and redesigned the appearance of jeepneys at that time
02:20is Saraw Motors, owned by Leonardo Saraw.
02:24Leonardo was not the first to alter the left-over vehicles of the Americans at that time,
02:28but he was one of those who saw the potential for mass transportation.
02:33He lengthened the rear so that more people can ride,
02:36and he put a railing at the back and top so that people can attach and store their belongings.
02:43Meanwhile, to find out the trivia behind the viral news,
02:45just post or comment,
02:47Hashtag Kuya Kim, Ano Na?
02:49Always remember, the important thing is to know.
02:52I am Kuya Kim, and I will answer you 24 hours.
03:01Good evening, Kapuso.
03:02I am your Kuya Kim, who will give you the trivia behind the trending news.
03:07For those who hike Mt. Apo in Mindanao,
03:10this is the most common trail.
03:12You can see and pet
03:15blueberries.
03:19A new species of blueberry was discovered in the highest mountain in our country.
03:24This is the Basinium Phallax that flows through the Rio Light Boulder at the summit of Mt. Apo.
03:29The group of Filipino researchers, Maverick and Tamayo,
03:32identified the so-called species of blueberry.
03:35But because of its limited habitat,
03:37it is recommended to be considered as a critically endangered species.
03:41But for those who crave berries,
03:44you don't need to hike Mt. Apo to taste it.
03:47Because do you know that there is a fruit that we often see in stores
03:52or that grows in our bakurans,
03:55which is not many, but it is a true berry.
04:00This is a banana.
04:01Berries come from a flower that has an ovary and seeds inside.
04:07So, botanically speaking, a banana is a true berry.
04:12Meanwhile, to find out the trivia behind the viral news,
04:14just tweet or comment or post
04:17Hashtag Kuya Kim, what's next?
04:19Always remember, the important thing is to love.
04:22I am Kuya Kim and I will answer you 24 hours a day.
04:26Good evening, Kapuso!
04:28I am your Kuya Kim and I will give you the trivia behind the trending news.
04:32In the province of Cagayan, a dead fish has been spotted.
04:35The fishermen were confused as to how it came back to life.
04:46While the fishermen were sailing in the sea of Cagayan,
04:49Gerald saw something.
04:51While the fishermen were sailing in the sea of Cagayan,
04:53Gerald saw something.
04:55It was a dead fish.
04:57It did not leave its place.
04:59But when it came close,
05:01Gerald noticed that it was injured.
05:03Its neck was broken,
05:05and the sun's rays hit its shell.
05:09Wow!
05:10It was also smelling.
05:11The fish was dead.
05:15How did it die? It was so big.
05:17It might have been dead in the sea for 2 to 3 days.
05:20What happened to the poor dead fish?
05:24Kuya Kim, are the dead fish still coming out of their shells?
05:29Kuya Kim, what now?
05:31Unlike what we usually see in cartoons,
05:34the dead fish do not come out of their shells.
05:36Because their bodies are attached to it.
05:39Their shells have three parts.
05:41The carapace or upper part,
05:43the plastron or lower part,
05:45and the bridge that connects the carapace and plastron.
05:50They have six bones,
05:52including the backbone, breastbone, and ribs.
05:54It is attached to the inner layer of its shell.
05:56So the size of the fish is also the size of its shell.
06:00How did the dead fish die?
06:02According to marine biologists,
06:03Gerald saw a dead fish.
06:07It could be a green sea turtle.
06:09This is one of the most common fish in the Philippines.
06:13The scales or scutes of the carapace are flaking off.
06:18The animal's body is decomposing.
06:21It has been dead for quite some time.
06:23We cannot determine its cause
06:26unless you prepare a necropsy.
06:30I think it was hit by a boat's propeller
06:33because that spot is passed by boats
06:36carrying tourists to the island.
06:39We just left the fish in the sea
06:41because it is already smelly.
06:43The documentation of the death
06:46should be reported to the DNR.
06:48They will conduct a further investigation.
06:51But do you have any idea
06:52how big the smell of one of the most believed
06:55largest fish in history is?
07:01It has been estimated that it has been 5 to 10 million years
07:04that live in freshwater swamps in South America
07:07the largest fish in the world,
07:09the Stupendemys geograficus.
07:12Their shells are almost 10 feet long
07:14and weigh 2,500 pounds.
07:17According to experts who examined the recovered shells
07:20and lower jaw of the so-called Pagong,
07:22the shells of male species of the Stupendemys geograficus
07:26are hard in the gills
07:28to protect their snout.
07:31Meanwhile, to find out the trivia behind the viral news,
07:33post or comment
07:35Hashtag Kuya Kim, what's next?
07:37Always remember, the important thing is to know.
07:40I am Kuya Kim and I will answer you 24 hours.
07:45Good evening, Kapuso.
07:47I am your Kuya Kim and I will give you the trivia
07:49behind the trending news.
07:51Are your bones okay?
07:53If so, let's play Chinese Carter
07:55with students from Leyte
07:57that went viral because of their competitiveness
08:00to the next level.
08:06There are a lot of throwbacks in this video
08:08of students playing Chinese Carter.
08:10In every question,
08:12the audience is cheering.
08:14The Chinese Carter match
08:16was held at the sports fest of Leyte Normal University
08:18in Tacloban City.
08:20I uploaded the video to share that
08:22even now, Luxong Bitik or Chinese Carter is still played.
08:26Among the participants were Matthew and Marion.
08:28Their story is that they were forced to join the game.
08:31Well, no.
08:33It was accidental.
08:34Every tribe has to have a representative.
08:37If a tribe does not have a representative,
08:40the other tribe will lose.
08:43The two of us decided,
08:44since we both have experience,
08:46I started playing Chinese Carter
08:48when I was in Grade 4.
08:49I started playing when I was in Kindergarten.
08:52But because the Carter was getting higher and higher,
08:54it was also difficult to jump.
08:56Their technique was,
08:57I was picturing how high the Carter was.
09:01I was just making sure that my landing was safe.
09:03Was their strategy effective?
09:06Brother Kim, is Chinese Carter a game from China?
09:09Brother Kim, what is it?
09:10That's why we call it Chinese Carter.
09:13Because it originated from China.
09:16In China, it is called Chinese Jump Rope
09:18which was first played in the 7th century.
09:20Its origin is not as a game.
09:23It was used as a tradition for gambling.
09:26It was also played for the first time by other countries.
09:28In Germany, it is called Comet Twist.
09:30In the United Kingdom, Elastics.
09:32We can see here that the concept has changed.
09:35It has become a Filipino game.
09:37We have also indigenized it.
09:39It's an example of a compound exercise.
09:42It involves multiple organs.
09:44Meaning, its benefit will be multiple.
09:46Just like any other sport,
09:48we need to practice so that our body can adapt.
09:52Meanwhile, how was the match between Matthew and Marion?
09:59Thankfully, it was not a game.
10:01Thankfully, we won because we have a good mother,
10:04which is Matthew.
10:06We are proud to represent our tribe.
10:09It's really fun to watch our children play.
10:12This is Brother Kim, and I will answer you 24 hours a day.
