00:00Maybe you're wondering if you've also tasted the viral soup of Manila.
00:07This is the Tumbong Soup, a soup made from pork or beef bones.
00:16But the people of Matangas will not be left behind.
00:20In Manila, they call it Tumbong Soup.
00:24The people of Matangas have Tumbong Dagat.
00:27Tumbong Dagat is delicious.
00:29It's really the best.
00:31You should try it.
00:35But it's not literally Tumbong.
00:39Tumbong Dagat, which is also called Kibot and Lobot Lobot,
00:43is a type of sea anemone that lives in the sea.
00:48It serves as a residence or a hiding place for fish.
00:52This Tumbong Dagat was invented because of its resemblance to Tumbong.
01:08Brother Empoy, what are you doing there?
01:10We're not here to relax.
01:12We're here to catch Tumbong.
01:15Tumbong? What?
01:17Not your Tumbong, Tumbong Dagat!
01:21There they are.
01:23Are they already there?
01:24Yes, let's go to them.
01:26They said there are a lot of Tumbong there.
01:28Mariel, let's go.
01:29Let's go.
01:30Can I go in?
01:31Just kidding.
01:32I'm heavy.
01:33I'm heavy. Let's go.
01:35Our wonder is Mariel Pamintuan.
01:38She's not only good at acting in Black Rider and Widow's War.
01:43She's also good at various challenges.
01:46But will Empoy be able to catch Tumbong Dagat?
01:52Ouch!
01:53I'm about to fall.
01:54What happened?
01:55It's not my Tumbong.
01:57Yes, it's my first time. How about you?
02:00You're asking me?
02:02You know what? It's recess.
02:04I don't know how to catch Tumbong.
02:05I don't want to know how to catch it.
02:06I don't want to catch it.
02:08So, what's the connection with recess?
02:10Recess, that's my favorite subject.
02:12When I was a kid.
02:13When I was in elementary school.
02:15Hey! It's Alvin!
02:17Alvin!
02:18Alvin!
02:19Hello!
02:20You're a big boy now.
02:21You were small before.
02:26Alvin, how are you?
02:29To teach them how to catch Tumbong Dagat,
02:32our wonder is Alvin.
02:35I was still in elementary school.
02:37My father taught me how to catch Tumbong Dagat.
02:44When he first taught us,
02:47when we were kids,
02:50we didn't like it right away.
02:52But when we tasted it,
02:54and we always ate it,
02:56it became delicious for us.
02:59And it's true that Tumbong Dagat is delicious.
03:02Dad, are we near yet?
03:05We're still far away.
03:06I'm still looking for us.
03:07Dad, we might get caught.
03:09I'm scared.
03:10Dad.
03:11Here, we already found you.
03:13Let's go.
03:14What's that?
03:15Why are you making your son sit?
03:18To catch Tumbong Dagat,
03:20you need to throw it.
03:22It sinks in the sand.
03:24Of course, it's facing the sand.
03:26Wow.
03:27Okay.
03:28Let's try it.
03:29I'll show you.
03:31So, you're going to move it.
03:33You really have to use your hands.
03:35You really have to throw it.
03:38There.
03:39That's it.
03:40It was just like that earlier.
03:41I thought it was big.
03:43It's alive.
03:44It's alive.
03:45Get ready, Tumbong Dagat.
03:47For me, Galamay.
03:54Here.
03:55It's your time to shine.
03:56You're the one who caught the Tumbong Dagat.
04:00I'll catch it for all of you.
04:02You can do it.
04:03There.
04:09You're good.
04:12You're not good.
04:13You didn't catch it.
04:16Here, there's one.
04:18There's one.
04:19There's one.
04:20I'm really good, Mariel.
04:22Because this is deep.
04:25First step, catch it.
04:26That's right.
04:27Mariel, catch it.
04:28You'll see it, guys.
04:34There's a bird.
04:35There's a bird.
04:36There's a bird.
04:37There's a bird.
04:38There's a bird.
04:39Here it is.
04:40Here it is.
04:41Here it is.
04:42It's so cute.
04:43Maybe there's a stone with it.
04:45Remove the stone.
04:47Of course, Mariel won't be the last one.
04:50She'll also try to catch the Tumbong Dagat.
04:54Step one, catch it.
04:55Catch it.
04:56Okay.
04:57Step two.
04:59Okay.
05:00Step two.
05:04Alim, it's deep.
05:05It's deep.
05:06Use your hands.
05:07Use all of them.
05:08There.
05:09That's right, Alim.
05:10That's right, Alim.
05:11There.
05:13That's a big one.
05:15It's a big Tumbong.
05:17It's big.
05:19There.
05:20She caught it.
05:21Yummy.
05:22Is that Tumbong Dagat?
05:23It's like a cone of ice cream.
05:25Tumbong yummy.
05:27After an exhausting challenge,
05:30where will the Tumbong Dagat that were caught go?
05:33Empoy and Mariel will be joined by Alvin's wife, Amelita.
05:37What we're going to cook today is Adobong Tumbong Dagat.
05:41Wow.
05:42Is that your specialty?
05:44Yes, it's our family's favorite.
05:46Family.
05:47What about the other family?
05:49She doesn't have a family.
05:57While we were catching it earlier,
05:59it looked like it was having a hard time.
06:01I thought it was biting.
06:03Yes.
06:04But it's not scary to catch it.
06:09Because it sinks in the air,
06:12so you have to catch it quickly.
06:15After washing it,
06:17we can put it in the pan.
06:22We'll saute this.
06:24We'll saute this and season it with soy sauce and water.
06:32After a few minutes of boiling,
06:34the Adobong Tumbong Dagat is cooked.
06:41Here it is.
06:42What we worked hard on earlier, Mariel,
06:44the Tumbong Dagat Adobo.
06:47Adobo?
06:53It's like an Alimango,
06:55but it's more like a tapioca.
06:58It's like an Alighis,
07:00but it's more like a tapioca.
07:02And the texture is like this.
07:04I can really taste the exotic flavor,
07:07especially when I eat it while staring at my brother.
07:17It's funny.
07:20But aside from its taste,
07:21did you know that the Tumbong Dagat
07:23is also a winner in terms of nutrition?
07:27What's good about it is that it has an added collagen
07:30that we can get.
07:32Collagen helps to beautify the skin
07:36and is a part of our immune system.
07:41The Tumbong Dagat is really delicious.
07:44The others are just so-so.
07:47But our experience earlier was that it was too hot,
07:50and we felt like we wouldn't be able to finish it.
07:53We thought it was easy to get,
07:55but it's hard.
07:56Isn't it more delicious to eat when you worked hard?
08:00Yes.
08:01It adds flavor to our food, right?
08:05When you're tired,
08:06and after, you'll eat the Tumbong Dagat you caught.
08:11So that's our overall experience
08:14in catching the Tumbong Dagat.
08:17It's really an adventure.
