Aired (January 18, 2025): Isang uri ng larvae na kung tawagin ay 'uok,' ligtas nga bang kainin?
At viral online ang video kung saan makikita ang isang buwaya na parang batang nalulunod sa isang ilog sa Indonesia. Diumano, ginagawa raw ito ng buwaya para makakuha ng atensyon ng tao na posibleng target niyang kainin.
Samahan si Kuya Kim na himayin at alamin ang kuwento sa likod ng viral video na ito sa 'Dami Mong Alam, Kuya Kim!'

FunTranscript
00:00Thank you for the ice cream. So good.
00:03What a delicious strawberry.
00:05Ice cream yummy.
00:07Ice cream good.
00:09Ice cream yummy.
00:11Ice cream good.
00:13Everything is an ice cream dance trend.
00:15Ice cream good.
00:16Ice cream yummy.
00:18Ice cream good.
00:20Ice cream yummy.
00:22But this girl seems to have a different type of ice cream.
00:25What is this white and creamy dessert in the video?
00:31It's just the inside.
00:32It's like we're just sipping it.
00:36What is being chewed and swallowed in the video is not ice cream or ice candy,
00:42but a worm.
00:44Those worms are called worms or coconut beetle larvae.
00:48What will you do if you see a drowning kid?
00:57The video will have more than 24 million views.
01:04But the truth is,
01:10the kid is not in the video.
01:15It's not.
01:16It's a worm.
01:25In the comments of the video, there's a debate going on.
01:27Some people said that this worm is being used to get people's attention that it can be eaten.
01:33But according to others, this claim has no proof.
01:37What is the truth?
01:38Let's find out later.
01:40You know a lot, Kim.
01:45In Barito River, Indonesia, this video was filmed.
01:50You can see that the worm is spinning.
01:52It's possible that he's doing a death roll.
01:58Here in the Philippines, a huge worm will return.
02:04For the No. 1 Adventure Chevy in the Philippines,
02:08here's the worm.
02:11Why is there a worm here?
02:13Even if it's January 20, we can still see it again.
02:17In Lulong, the capital of the country.
02:19You know a lot, Kim.
02:21Do you know that in real life, worms are not like worms that can be friends.
02:25The worms are the ones that can be friends.
02:28They can be friends with each other.
02:30They can be friends with each other.
02:32They can be friends with each other.
02:34In real life, worms are not like worms that can be friends.
02:37Worms are naturally territorial and very aggressive.
02:41If they're on the ground, there's a chance that a worm will run away
02:45because they're slow on the ground.
02:47But if they're in the water and the worm is swimming,
02:49the truth is that humans don't fight.
02:52You know a lot, Kim.
02:55Let's go back to the viral video.
02:58Is this a new way of raising or attracting attention
03:01of a person they're planning to eat?
03:08What kind of tree do they call pepe?
03:12That can be planted in the mountains of Labada.
03:16KABANGHA-BANGHA AT KAHA-NGA-HANGA
03:22KABANGHA-BANGHA AT KAHA-NGA-HANGA
03:24It was targeted by the Sinayard Community in the interest of the online universe.
03:27But why did these videos go viral?
03:30Join me to find out the stories behind these viral videos
03:33and trending topics here at
03:36You know a lot, Kim.
03:38And you should too.
03:40For those who are preparing for Christmas,
03:42it's not a coincidence that Ate's KABANGHA-BANGHA
03:44in her viral videos
03:46got 13.8 million views.
03:49This is called UOK or Coconut Beetle Larvae.
03:52It tastes like Enoki Mushroom with Cheese.
03:55Yummy, right?
03:57Do you want to try it?
04:01Marian's viral video was taken in Mindoro
04:03when her family was on vacation last Christmas.
04:06It's so delicious and yummy.
04:14A video of a coconut tree
04:16with leaves and branches
04:18is getting 1.2 million views.
04:20It's said that it's used as fertilizer.
04:24Another type of tree is called Pepe.
04:27It can be planted in the mountains of Labada.
04:31When I first saw the tree,
04:33my reaction was,
04:34oh my gosh, yes!
04:38The poor coconut tree
04:40is always compared to humans.
04:42To humans, it's even sick.
04:44That's why now,
04:45a coconut tree is in good health.
04:47In this video that got 23 million views,
04:50a coconut tree is accepting people
04:52to catch food.
04:54Is it true?
04:56What will you do
04:57if you see a drowning baby?
05:05Let's go back to the viral video.
05:06According to the video uploader,
05:08Lukman Arisma,
05:09he was panicked
05:10when he saw someone
05:11drowning in the Barito River.
05:14But he took a good look.
05:17It's obvious that it's a baby.
05:21They often see babies
05:23in this river.
05:24But this is the first baby he saw
05:26that seemed to be asking for help.
05:30Before this baby style
05:32to pick up a person
05:34they plan to eat.
05:40It's better to call an expert.
05:42I'm not convinced
05:44that he imitated
05:46a drowning baby
05:48to attack
05:50other people
05:52in the river.
05:53Because it's not a natural behavior
05:55of a baby.
05:56Usually, we know that
05:58a baby floats.
05:59If it's just like that,
06:01it's because his body
06:02is limited in flexibility.
06:03And it's not like a human
06:05who can raise his hand.
06:08So, maybe someone
06:10removed a line
06:12or a rope.
06:14Or maybe
06:16he was caught in the net
06:18that he needs to do a death roll.
06:20A death roll
06:22to get away.
06:23So, if he lets him do that,
06:25he pushes his hand like that
06:27because he wants to get away.
06:30Another possibility
06:33is that at that time
06:35he has a prey
06:37that is big.
06:38We know that
06:39if a baby
06:41can't swim,
06:43he needs to do a death roll.
06:45So, he will force himself
06:47to swim.
06:55Babies are ambush predators
06:57or sit-and-wait predators.
07:00Because of their appearance
07:01that looks like a tree
07:02that was caught in the water,
07:03they are not immediately noticed
07:05by their prey.
07:07They are nonchalant.
07:12So, they don't need
07:13to pretend to be O.A.
07:15just to get food.
07:18You know a lot, Kim!
07:21What they call
07:23is a snake
07:25that can be caught
07:26in the mountains of Labada.
07:31It's delicious,
07:32tasty,
07:33and really yummy.
07:45In this place in Capiz,
07:51there is a tree that grows.
07:54What's special about this tree
07:59is that it blooms.
08:01As you can see,
08:02it really blooms
08:03so that it really smells good.
08:06It can be used for washing.
08:08I used white clothes
08:09and not colored ones.
08:10It doesn't stain
08:11and it also blooms quickly.
08:15The clothes smell clean.
08:18And they also use shampoo.
08:20My mother tried it
08:21and she said
08:22it really works.
08:26What kind of tree is that?
08:28Is it really safe to use?
08:36It's like a detergent.
08:39This video
08:40has 1.2 million views.
08:43That's why netizens
08:44are really excited.
08:46There are a lot of tree helps, ma'am.
08:48I'm curious
08:49about the smell
08:50of dried clothes.
08:51Me too, actually.
08:52That's my shampoo before.
08:53It's used to lengthen my hair.
09:00A lot of people are asking
09:01what kind of tree is this.
09:02The vlogger
09:03who made the video
09:04about the red tree
09:05that we know
09:06in Tumalag Capiz.
09:07She is Annalyn Funtilar,
09:0832 years old.
09:10She thought of vlogging this
09:12because she was curious
09:13about her mother's story
09:14about this tree.
09:15She got this.
09:16This is what it looks like.
09:17It looks like a tree branch
09:19but it's not that big.
09:20In the video,
09:21the tree branch was taken,
09:22washed,
09:23and peeled.
09:25The skin was tied
09:26and cut several times
09:27and soaked in water.
09:29A few minutes later,
09:30the water that the skin
09:31was soaked in
09:32started to bubble.
09:33My reaction
09:34when I first saw
09:35the tree bubbling
09:36was,
09:37Oh my, yes,
09:38it's bubbling.
09:39That's how it is.
09:40Oh, we still have
09:41a tree like that.
09:42To find out
09:43if this shampoo is effective,
09:44she also took
09:45a few baths.
09:47And did she finish her clothes?
09:48It smelled
09:49and the clothes were clean.
09:54The tree that was seen
09:55this morning
09:56is called,
09:57in their place,
09:58Pepe.
09:59And it has a resemblance
10:00to Nara.
10:02The shape of that tree
10:03is like magaspang.
10:05And the leaves
10:06are like Nara.
10:08The leaves are small.
10:10Before shampoo
10:11became popular,
10:12plants have been used
10:13as a natural soap
10:14and cleaning agent for a long time.
10:15Some plants
10:16have saponin,
10:17a natural compound
10:18that bubbles
10:19when mixed with water.
10:21Its advantage is
10:22it's eco-friendly,
10:23gentle,
10:24and renewable.
10:29But the tree
10:30that Kapista Pepe
10:31is called,
10:32is it real?
10:35We challenged Annalyn
10:36to do it again
10:37using Pepe's tree.
10:39When it arrived
10:40at their house,
10:41it was immediately washed
10:42and cleaned.
10:43She left the peel
10:44and stick
10:45and mixed it
10:46in a bowl of water.
10:49You just need
10:50to mix it.
10:51This is where
10:52our camera man
10:53got it.
10:55It immediately bubbles
10:56with water.
10:59It really bubbles
11:00so that it becomes
11:01a soap.
11:08So,
11:09we washed it
11:10and mixed it
11:11with water.
11:13Annalyn's mother
11:14washed the clothes.
11:19We also invited
11:20our neighbors
11:21to check
11:22the inside of the clothes.
11:25To be honest,
11:26it's really clean.
11:32After the deliberation,
11:33the neighbors
11:34released
11:35their judgment.
11:43I have a contest.
11:44It's a battle.
11:45Do you know
11:46the names of the trees?
11:48I don't know.
11:49Do you know
11:50the names of the trees?
11:52Just a few.
11:53In 30 seconds,
11:54tell me the names
11:55of the trees.
11:56Okay?
11:57You.
11:58Nara.
11:59Tatol.
12:02Atis.
12:03Nyug.
12:04Oku.
12:05Nara.
12:06Kaymito.
12:07Kaymito.
12:09There's nothing left
12:10to think about, sir.
12:11There's nothing left.
12:14You mentioned Nara earlier,
12:15right?
12:16Nara is our national tree.
12:17It was made
12:18as a national tree
12:19from the 1930s
12:20to 1934.
12:21But did you know
12:22that Nara
12:23is not only found
12:24in the Philippines?
12:25It's not an endemic
12:26to us.
12:27Nara can be found
12:28in many countries
12:29in Southeast Asia.
12:30You know a lot,
12:31brother.
12:32I hope so.
12:33You too.
12:34I hope so.
12:35To prove
12:36that Nara is an endemic
12:37to the Philippines,
12:38we went to the city
12:39of Kawalina
12:40to collect
12:41the fallen trees.
12:42From the city,
12:43Kawalina City Environment
12:44and Natural Resources
12:45rented the area
12:46to Adeline.
12:47Locally,
12:48it's known
12:49in the province
12:50of Capiz
12:51as Pe-Pe.
12:52But it's more
12:53known as
12:54Soap Tree
12:55or Saling Kuge.
12:56It's native
12:57in Southeast Asia
12:58including
12:59the Philippines,
13:00Vietnam
13:01and Indonesia.
13:02If we're going to
13:03use it as a medium,
13:04it's better
13:05to consult
13:06with our experts
13:07first,
13:08our doctors.
13:10But remember,
13:11fellow citizens,
13:12you should not
13:13just cut down
13:14a tree.
13:15We have laws
13:16that protect
13:17our native trees.
13:18We need a permit
13:19from the government
13:20to do so.
13:25Wow!
13:26It's so good!
13:27It's so good!
13:28It's so good,
13:29it's so tasty
13:30and it's really
13:31yummy.
13:36Ice Cream Dance
13:41Thank you for the ice cream.
13:43So good.
13:44What delicious strawberry.
13:46Ice cream yummy.
13:48Ice cream good.
13:50Ice cream yummy.
13:52Ice cream good.
13:54All the Kiki Ice Cream
13:55dance is trending.
13:57Ice cream yummy.
13:59Ice cream good.
14:01Ice cream yummy.
14:03But this girl
14:04seems to be on a different
14:05ice cream trip.
14:09What is this white
14:10and creamy dessert
14:11in the video?
14:12It's just the inside.
14:13It's like we're
14:14just sipping it.
14:18What Maya is eating
14:19and sipping
14:20in the video
14:21is not ice cream
14:22or ice candy
14:23but a worm.
14:25Those worms
14:26are called
14:27coconut beetle larvae.
14:35Here in Caloocan,
14:36we found a girl
14:37eating a worm.
14:39I'm Marian Ignacio.
14:41I'm the one who uploaded
14:42the video
14:43of me eating a worm.
14:47Cheers!
14:48Marian's viral video
14:49was taken in Mindoro
14:50when her family
14:51were on vacation
14:52last Christmas.
14:54So we just added
14:55a little water
14:56and a little salt.
14:57That's all.
14:58Nothing else.
14:59And it reached
15:00almost 13.8 million views.
15:03That's it!
15:04Eating a worm
15:05is not new to her.
15:07When I was young,
15:08I used to see
15:09my siblings
15:10or my parents
15:11eating worms.
15:15And when my siblings
15:16would ask me to do it,
15:17I would say no.
15:24Worms can grow
15:25on a dead coconut tree
15:26in just three months.
15:29It evolves
15:30from an egg
15:31to a larva,
15:32a pupa,
15:33and an adult beetle.
15:35Wow!
15:36You know a lot!
15:38Thank you for the ice cream!
15:40So good!
15:41What a delicious strawberry!
15:43Ice cream yummy!
15:45Ice cream good!
15:47Ice cream yummy!
15:48Is it a worm?
15:49Is it yummy?
15:51Or yucky?
15:52Ice cream yummy!
15:54Ice cream good!
15:56Ice cream yummy!
15:58Ice cream good!
15:59Wait!
16:00Let me show you
16:01how to eat this.
16:02Look at this.
16:03Do you know what it is?
16:05It's a worm.
16:07A worm?
16:08Yes.
16:09Underneath?
16:10Underneath.
16:11A worm?
16:12Yes.
16:13Have you ever eaten a worm?
16:14Not yet,
16:15but there are a lot.
16:16Is it yummy?
16:17Yes, it's yummy.
16:18Wow!
16:19It's so big!
16:21But worms
16:22are not new
16:23to Marian's area.
16:26Instead of seeing worms
16:27on other trees,
16:28we asked her
16:29where these trees
16:30came from.
16:31The worms
16:32we caught
16:33were big.
16:34And we caught them
16:35from a tree.
16:36It was a hard tree
16:37that was already dead.
16:38Then they were
16:39surrounded by worms.
16:41They were caught
16:42from the inside
16:43of a palm tree.
16:45Even though it's big,
16:46it has a different taste.
16:48It's so good.
16:49It's tasty.
16:50And it's really
16:51yummy.
16:53That's why Marian
16:54was convinced
16:55to try this.
16:56One day,
16:57I tasted it
16:58and I suddenly
16:59liked it.
17:01Every time we go home
17:02to Mendoro,
17:03I always look for it.
17:06Marian's community
17:07is making a living
17:08by collecting worms
17:09from the mountains.
17:11And they sell it
17:12for around P700 per kilo.
17:15When we buy it,
17:16it's still alive.
17:17And what we do
17:18when we cook it
17:19is we steam it.
17:22We remove
17:23the seeds.
17:24We just pull it
17:25and there you go.
17:28After we remove it,
17:30we can eat it.
17:32But are you curious
17:34about its taste?
17:36Some people say
17:37it tastes like
17:38enoki mushroom.
17:39Others say
17:40it tastes like
17:41cheese.
17:42If you're wondering,
17:43are you willing
17:44to eat this?
17:45It tastes
17:46like earthy
17:48and creamy.
17:50Is it safe
17:51to eat worms?
17:52I still haven't suggested
17:53that it's raw.
