00:00But this is a very warm welcome from Bani Pangasinan
00:05who are celebrating their watermelon festival.
00:07Yes, we're very happy and there's a lot of watermelon
00:10and they're going to eat it together.
00:12Here it is, hundreds of people are going to cut and eat watermelon together.
00:17With us is our festival queen, Shuvie.
00:20It's starting, look at that.
00:22Hi, Pampamigas and Kapuso!
00:24Yes, we're still here at Bani Pangasinan
00:28to celebrate their annual watermelon festival.
00:34As you can see, this is a 9-day long celebration, Kapuso and Kapuso.
00:39They're celebrating this in the last week of January
00:43because it's just right for the long-lasting harvest of the harvesters.
00:47Look, there are so many watermelons.
00:51There, there's a yellow one here.
00:54There's also a yellowish one here.
00:56And there's an orange one, which they call Dayanan.
01:00There are many other kinds of watermelons, like the Eclipse.
01:03As you can see, it's green on the outside,
01:07but inside, you can see yellow.
01:10There's also the Abbey, where it's green with stripes,
01:14but inside, it's red.
01:17There's also Helen, where it's green, but when you open it,
01:21the inside is orange.
01:24There's also Victoria, where it's yellow, but the inside is also yellow.
01:27And of course, the most common one, the most popular one,
01:31is the Bufalona, which is usually red on the inside.
01:35A while ago, Kapuso and Kapuso celebrated the most popular contest
01:41where all the harvesters were the winners.
01:45And the winner is none other than this watermelon.
01:49Wow, this is really heavy.
01:52Kapuso, this is really heavy.
01:55That's why I won.
01:58Congratulations to you.
02:00Kapuso, this is really heavy.
02:01But aside from that, there are many other activities
02:04that are happening here in Bani Pangasinan.
02:07One of them is the fruit carving,
02:10where we can see many students in Bani who are carving.
02:16There, we have Kuya, what's your name?
02:18Raymarc C. Anama.
02:20Yes, what's the concept of your carving there?
02:23Flowers.
02:24Flowers, we can see the flowers.
02:27It's really sweetening for the people of Bani Pangasinan.
02:31I feel like they're really sweet here.
02:34They say that's why the watermelon is sweet for the people of Bani Pangasinan
02:42because the water that Kapuso uses is half salt water and half water.
02:48Look at that, it's really sweet.
02:50And we can see, we're going here now,
02:53the very long grill for slicing and watermelon,
02:57where we have 410 participants
03:02with a length of 100 meters
03:04that can reach 1,200 kilograms of watermelon.
03:09Oh my, Kapuso.
03:10Is everyone ready?
03:13Yes!
03:17Let's start the grand mass slicing and eating in 3, 2, 1, go!
03:35It's red, it's beautiful.
03:37Oh my, where's your slice?
03:39Yes, how was the experience?
03:42Happy, happy.
03:45Oh, there's also yellow, red.
03:47This is fun, fun!
