00:00Who wouldn't want to eat delicious veggies like eggplant, sautéed cabbage, and pinata ang langka?
00:10Add sweet and refreshing fruits like watermelons, mangoes, watermelons, avocados, and apples.
00:17You'll have a healthy living because of the delicious foods.
00:21But did you know that aside from the typical vegetables and fruits,
00:24there are also a lot of local foods that can be found in the Philippines?
00:29At the Gulay Pamor Food Fiesta in Quezon City, Kamakailan,
00:32various Filipino foods were sold, some of which can only be found here in the country.
00:38Did you know about the fruits like morado, batuan, bunga ng lipa, or laguan?
00:44What about tibig, lipote, and dungon?
00:48There are also local vegetables like alibangbang, kulitis, kalyas, bawang ilokos, and kadyos.
00:57Local seaweeds like pokpoklo, kulot, and gamip can't be missed.
01:03And there's also a variety of flavors that you might not have used yet.
01:07There are also a lot of indigenous crops,
01:09as well as unique recipes from chefs and food merchants.
01:14Patrick first tasted the nut egg and creamy mushroom sandwich spread.
01:19But the taste is the same, it's more delicious, creamy, and you know, it's nutritious.
01:25Since it's a cookie and honey sandwich, the flavors of the ice cream were not missed.
01:30One is lipote cheesecake, one is cacao soy cream, one is pinit kalabasa seeds,
01:39balitanaw coconut, kalingang pili, and panucha caramel crunch.
01:45It's not just a simple feast,
01:48but it's a return because the condition of our vegetables is not well-known here,
01:54and it's slowly disappearing because of the different types of crops.
01:58The program also aims to promote and introduce the products of the agricultural sector
02:04and to help the food security of the country.
02:07Here in the Philippines, we're experiencing food insecurity,
02:12and we need this.
02:13Aside from that, we're losing so many parts of our food heritage.
02:17Welcome to the graduation ceremony of Kindergarten School Year 2023-2024.
02:25I am Maverick Cyrus Manayang Pelayo,
02:29and on behalf of my friends and classmates,
02:33we welcome you all to this wonderful event.
02:37This is my moment.
02:39That's what 6-year-old Maverick Cyrus Pelayo did at the end of kindergarten.
02:46He delivered his graduation speech to his teachers and classmates.
02:52There was no code. He memorized his speech.
02:57I really, really enjoyed going to school.
03:00And thank you to all my teachers.
03:04The valedictory speech of 6-year-old Ethan Clemens in Pasay was also amazing.
03:09I always have fun learning new things and do my best in my classes.
03:15They say that it's alright if I make mistakes because that is how I learn.
03:23Ethan's motivational message is that he will not only focus on his classmates,
03:29but also on the students of his life.
03:32In life, you have trouble and fall,
03:35but you can stand up against your own after learning something new.
03:416-year-old Sian is also on the honor list,
03:44but he is used to not having parents with him whenever there is a program in the school.
03:48So even on recognition day, he accepted that his OFW mother could not come.
03:55I said, Sian, who will attend your recognition?
03:58His reply to me was, Mommy, who is available?
04:01It's like I was fooled because he has honors.
04:04But what Sian does not know is that he is the one who strives in school.
04:08There was a good surprise.
04:11His mother, Grace, suddenly came to his side to take the medal.
04:18Sian continued to hide his tears of joy.
04:23Speaking of moral lesson,
04:25a lesson learned by Mommy Grace that was taught by his daughter.
04:30As a parent, let's give effort to the children.
04:35It's important for them.
04:39In this hotel and restaurant in Tagbilaran Hall,
04:43the employees' service is quiet but top-notch.
04:48In housekeeping, maintenance or in the kitchen.
04:52Welcoming to the guests and inclusive to the workers.
04:56Especially with hearing impairment, 70% of their employees.
05:01Like Joel, who has been in housekeeping for 14 years.
05:06The hotel helped him a lot to overcome the challenge of his disability
05:11and start a new life.
05:25In 2002, the hotel was opened by an NGO
05:29that supports the education of young people with disabilities.
05:35From being an employment project,
05:38Kita and Odirisa Dao Dayamon are donated to the organization,
05:42Back to Idea, to support the educational program.
05:46In fact, there are people who are OJT in the hotel
05:49who are students of a school for the deaf in Bohol.
05:53Sign language is the way the employees talk to the guests.
05:58They are friendly and approachable.
06:01They write on the guests' papers what they want to say to them.
06:05Their supervisor and front desk staff also remember
06:09that they are hearing-able.
06:16Along with more than 500 students
06:18from the College of Commerce and Business Administration
06:21of the University of Santo Tomas,
06:23the 28-year-old Jerome Santiago.
06:27Santiago Jerome Concepcion.
06:31A success that can be considered that he graduated
06:34despite being fully blind.
06:40Jerome was only more than a year old
06:42when he was diagnosed with congenital glaucoma.
06:45He underwent several operations,
06:47but he still lost his sight at his age.
06:51It became a challenge for him to communicate with other students.
06:55For example, some subjects that he needs to see the graphs,
06:58but Jerome can't do it.
07:14With the help of Braille or touch-based alphabets
07:17for visually impaired people,
07:19and new technology like software that can read texts,
07:24Jerome was able to study.
07:26What makes me happy is that he is really hardworking.
07:29He really knows the lessons,
07:34even though we made some adjustments.
07:39But it was more challenging for Jerome and his family
07:42to see with their own eyes.
07:44There are people who look at themselves
07:49as higher than people with disabilities in general
07:55because even though a person has a disability,
07:58they still have worth and abilities.
08:01It hurts me.
08:03There are people who don't understand their situation.
08:09But just let them be.
08:12Go on.
08:13Congratulations to me.
08:15Graduation is a sign of success for those who studied hard.
08:19But for Jerome,
08:21it's a sign that physical challenges like his
08:24will be far away in life.
08:29And now that he's a graduate,
08:31the path is clearer for Jerome.
08:34Trust your abilities and believe in yourself.
08:38In times like this,
08:40the part of inaccessibility and challenges
08:44as a visually impaired student is already there.
08:52Adventure awaits in Laguna.
08:54The province is ready for places
08:56where you can relax and relax.
09:04Laguna is also hashtag blessed
09:06for its vast forests and mountains.
09:08For the outdoor exploration,
09:10let's go to Mount Makiling.
09:13Legend has it,
09:14this mountain is the home of the famous Maria Makiling.
09:19So bring your family or friends
09:22and you'll fall in love with its beauty.
09:29There are 30 stations to the mountain.
09:31And you can also experience the centennial trees here.
09:35The world's largest flower,
09:37Rafflesia, is also featured here.
09:39It's critically endangered.
09:41According to tourists,
09:42stations 12 to 30 is the exciting part
09:44because you'll trek in the forest
09:47and it will take almost 5 hours to reach the top.
09:51It's also an extra challenge to climb using a Rubik's Cube.
09:55But don't worry,
09:56because there's a soundtrack
09:58to prove that Makiling's ecosystem is beautiful.
10:08When it comes to Tuktuk,
10:09Laguna de Bay has a beautiful view.
10:11Batangas and Laguna will greet you.
10:18Maha Blanca is a classic Filipino dish.
10:21It was leveled up in Sulbek Barangay, Basuki ni Locos Norte.
10:25The dessert is packed with nutrition
10:27because it's topped with vegetables that will make your eyes clear.
10:31Kalabasa
10:33is made by Barangay Nutrition Scholar, Reshalene.
10:36Kids don't like to eat vegetables.
10:38But if you mix it with rice or other dishes,
10:44you can also mix it there.
10:47Reshalene often distributes healthy desserts
10:50to feeding programs in their area.
10:53In Lungsod, Lawag,
10:55there's a popular dish called Beat the Heat.
10:57It's a classic mix-and-match.
10:59It's also mixed with vegetables.
11:02It's appetizing because the Ilocano dish is present
11:06in every mix-and-match of Gurong Si Jem.
11:09It includes Malunggay, Kalabasa, and Taro.
11:13We get a lot of vitamins and nutrients
11:18like iron, vitamin A, and carbohydrates.
11:23Students enjoy eating it.
11:25That's why it's a healthy mix-and-match.
11:35Garlic is a must in dishes.
11:38The peel is just thrown away.
11:41But UP Cebu Fine Arts student, Clint,
11:44has a bright idea to give Garlic Peel a new appeal.
11:48I was tasked to explore materials
11:53that can potentially be developed into products.
11:57There are a lot of garlic peels in the carbon market of Cebu City.
12:01Garlic Peel is rich in fiber.
12:03So I was thinking, maybe I can turn this into sheets.
12:07After a long process,
12:09the garlic peels turned out to be thin.
12:12He used it to make table lamps, tables, and tiles.
12:18But because garlic peels are thin,
12:22he discarded it to make it stronger.
12:26It becomes brittle.
12:27I had to mix it with 20-25% of avocado
12:31in order to stabilize the sheets.
12:34He posted his thesis achievement online.
12:37Many netizens were happy with his project.
12:40He already has more than 3 million views on TikTok.
12:43Does he plan to scale up his Garlic Peel materials when he graduates?
12:48But for Clint, it's not just a thesis project.
12:51According to the 2024 Food Waste Index Report of the UN Environment Programme,
12:56the household food waste in the Philippines is around 2.95 million tons per year.
13:01That's why his project is timely.
13:04It's not just that garbage can't be reduced,
13:06it can also be destroyed.
13:08Home Decker's Garlic Peel project
13:11can also provide livelihood and income.
13:14I'm really interested in exploring other materials like agricultural waste.
13:21It's significant because aside from reducing the waste,
13:25it can provide opportunities to be monetized or provide jobs.
13:30What is your parents' love language
13:33For our father's we met on Father's Day,
13:36they feel the love for the sacrifice made by silence and no resistance.
13:42The 59-year-old father, Esperidion,
13:45prays every day to help his children.
13:49At night, he makes food for his grandchildren.
13:53I just eat for them, for my grandchildren.
13:56That's all I can do.
13:58Father Leonardo, even though he's 80 years old,
14:01continues to serve his children without asking for anything in return.
14:06If there's anything, thank you. If not, it's okay.
14:09Father Abel is a security guard in Caloocan.
14:12His love language is quality time.
14:15He spends his vacation with his only child, Shalani,
14:18before going home to Cagayan.
14:20Sometimes when he goes home, I really cry.
14:27But there's nothing I can do.
14:29Life is hard.
14:33The netizens also say that their fathers' love language is the same.
14:38They are strict when it comes to cooking,
14:40they are strict when it comes to drinking,
14:41and even when it comes to calling their children simply.
14:46Our fathers, we usually don't notice their hardships
14:51because they don't go through it.
14:53But no matter how strong the circumstances of the home,
14:56they say that they will remove their anxiety
14:59when their children show their love.
15:02So to the fathers, Daddy, Papa, or Erpat,
15:07Happy Father's Day!
15:11This is Bonifacio Luna III,
15:13his father is the junior of his grandfather, Bonifacio.
15:17And his son, Fordy, is already the fourth generation of their name.
15:23They say that their name is similar to ours.
15:26But they are not only similar in looks and names,
15:30they are also gifted with music.
15:38We both know how to love music,
15:40especially my father, who knows all genres of music.
15:45Joneto Humores Sr. is still chasing to have a junior.
15:50I already have three daughters,
15:52and I already have a son.
15:54While Cesar and Lemuel,
15:56even though they don't have the same name,
15:58they chose the same career as an engineer.
16:01I am proud that I influenced him in that direction.
16:06They also have the same interest in riding motorcycles.
16:09We are mimicking our parents.
16:11I am thankful for my influence as an engineer
16:14because I'm happy with what I'm working right now.
16:17This is what I want.
16:18Daddy, Papa, Tatay.
16:20Whatever our fathers are called,
16:22they deserve to be given importance
16:24for their hard work and sacrifice for the family.
