00:00We have a surprise for you this Monday.
00:02Dambuhala!
00:04That's why our breakfast should be Dambuhala.
00:07Look at this.
00:08It's so long.
00:09This is Dambuhalang hito.
00:11That's right.
00:12It's a hito, Kapuso.
00:14It's so big, right?
00:15It's almost 3 feet long.
00:16It's so big and it weighs 5 kilos.
00:19That's why...
00:20Look, we'll all get full.
00:22There's a song about it.
00:23Hito, hito sa puso.
00:25Okay, don't give it to me.
00:27It's like I'll get sick again.
00:30Wait, but...
00:31It's like I'll get sick again.
00:32It's like I'll get sick again.
00:33But where can we buy this?
00:35And how much is it?
00:36Hey, you're laughing.
00:37You know that, right?
00:38So, let's tell Sean
00:40that he'll catch it today.
00:43Hi, Sean.
00:44How's your shirt and pants?
00:49Hito sa puso.
00:50Oh, I miss you.
00:51This is hito.
00:52It's hito only in Imos, Cavite.
00:54You'll see.
00:55It's worth 200 pesos.
00:57You can enjoy this for every kilo.
00:59And yes, you're right, Kapuso.
01:01Those hitos are worth a lot.
01:04That's why...
01:05That's what surprises our netizens.
01:07That's why we hired these hitos
01:10here in Imos, Cavite.
01:12Look at how big this is, Kapuso.
01:15Here, here, here.
01:16I'll show you.
01:17Just a moment.
01:21There.
01:24There, Kapuso.
01:26Wait.
01:27You know, it's really fresh because it's alive.
01:29Hop, hop, hop, hop.
01:33Hey!
01:34There, Kapuso.
01:35Oh, it's still moving.
01:37But as you can see, Kapuso,
01:39the hitos here are so big.
01:41Oh, my God.
01:42It's even bigger than my arm.
01:43That's why it went viral.
01:45So that we can learn more about these hitos,
01:48let's call the owner,
01:50Sir Jojo.
01:51Sir Jojo.
01:52Good morning, Kapuso.
01:53Good morning, Sir Jojo.
01:54You're taking care of it so well.
01:56Yes.
01:57What kind of hito is this?
01:59This is African.
02:01The African and the native hito.
02:03The native hito is half the size of the African hito.
02:06So, what's the difference in taking care of it?
02:10The African hito is easy to take care of
02:12because first of all,
02:13we feed it fresh tilapia.
02:16Wow!
02:17That's very nice of you.
02:18You feed it fresh tilapia every day.
02:20So, this size,
02:22is this the maximum size?
02:24There's even a bigger one.
02:26Wow!
02:27So, how big is it usually?
02:29About 2 to 3 feet.
02:312 to 3 feet?
02:32About 1 meter?
02:33Yes.
02:34You can see it, Kapuso,
02:35it's like my arm.
02:36Oh, you can see it.
02:37It's really big.
02:38So, guys,
02:40if our Kapuso want to cook this,
02:43for example,
02:44they come here,
02:45what can they do?
02:47They can grill it
02:48and they'll charge P100 per piece.
02:51I don't have P100,
02:52but can I grill this?
02:54Yes, you can.
02:55Okay, I'll put it down here.
02:57Is it here?
02:58I'll put it down here.
02:59Can I put it down here, Kapuso?
03:01Okay, okay.
03:02Just relax for now.
03:03Actually,
03:04he's preparing something.
03:05Oh, it's a bit naughty.
03:07There you go.
03:08Our Kapuso is preparing something.
03:11So, Kapuso,
03:12how do you grill a giant hito?
03:14Yes.
03:15Okay.
03:16I'll put it here.
03:17Yes, put it there.
03:18There you go.
03:20Okay.
03:21Okay, okay.
03:22I see you put some slices here, Kapuso.
03:25Yes.
03:26For what?
03:27That's for the inside to be cooked
03:29and not raw.
03:30And what else do you put?
03:32That's it.
03:33When it's almost cooked,
03:34we put margarine.
03:36There you go.
03:37That's what we put there
03:39for the hito to smell good
03:41and to be delicious.
03:43Okay.
03:44Your hito is big, Kapuso.
03:46How many people usually eat this?
03:49Here,
03:508 to 10 people can eat this.
03:52Wow!
03:538 to 10!
03:54So, you can eat this in one day.
03:55How many kilos do you sell?
03:5630 to 50 kilograms a day.
03:59That's a lot.
04:00Yes.
04:01It looks delicious.
04:03But aside from hito,
04:04do you have other fish that you sell here?
04:06We do.
04:07We have live tilapia and bangus.
04:09Oh, that's it.
04:10Sorry, I didn't see you there, guys.
04:13So, this is our bangus.
04:15Yes.
04:16And tilapia.
04:17Where does this giant hito come from?
04:20Our hito comes from Bulacan.
04:23Oh, Bulacan.
04:24So, how does it get here?
04:25Does it smell good?
04:26We deliver it.
04:28But usually,
04:29how long does it take to grill the giant hito?
04:31This is 30 minutes side-by-side.
04:34So, that's one hour.
04:35One hour?
04:36Yes.
04:37That's a bit long.
04:38I'm a bit hungry.
04:39But it's perfect.
04:40It's good that we have something ready.
04:41Let's taste it.
04:48Wow!
04:49Here you go.
04:50Wow!
04:51Thank you, Sir Jojo.
04:52Here you go.
04:53So, Kapuso,
04:54our breakfast is ready this morning.
04:58Giant hito for breakfast.
05:01For more food adventures,
05:02just tune in to our morning show
05:04where you're always first.
05:06Let's taste it.
05:18Mmm!
05:19It's good!
05:21The skin is crispy.
05:22And of course, I added soy sauce.
05:23There's rice.
05:24It's complete.
05:25Actually, it's a bit like tilapia.
05:27The taste is similar.
05:29I can taste it.
05:30But I can see that there are different kinds of hito.
05:33Yes.
05:34What is this, Kapuso?
05:35We have gata,
05:37adobo with gata,
05:38and we also have paksiw,
05:40and we also have grilled tilapia
05:42and grilled bangus.
05:43Mmm!
05:44You know, this is perfect, Kapuso.
05:46Actually, Sir Jojo,
05:47this hito in Davao is our family's favorite.
05:50That's why we always eat it.
05:52But usually, we deep-fry it.
05:55So, this grilled hito,
05:56I just tried it today.
05:57So, I'll try it again.
06:00It's funny, right?
06:01Mmm!
06:06I'm just trying it.
06:08Mmm!
06:10I'll just keep eating, Kapuso.
06:13Just tune in to our morning show
06:15where you're always the first to eat.
06:16The first to eat!
06:19I'll just keep eating.
06:26Meanwhile, let's continue our trip to Cavite
06:30where the giant hito is being returned.
06:33Oh, Sean!
06:34Did you eat a lot there?
06:40Yes.
06:41Yes, Miss Maris.
06:42I ate a lot.
06:43That's why I caught a new one.
06:46There you go.
06:47There you go, Kapuso.
06:49We're still here
06:50at the viral, viral giant hito
06:53here in Imus, Cavite.
06:55As you can see, it's huge.
06:56That's why it went viral.
06:58These are actually called,
07:00like what they said earlier,
07:01African hito.
07:02It grows to,
07:03like what we said earlier,
07:04about one meter.
07:05The one I'm holding right now is about five kilos.
07:07And you can experience this
07:09for Php 200 per kilo.
07:11So this fish is about Php 1,000
07:13and it can be eaten by 8 to 10 people.
07:15So it can be eaten by the whole family,
07:16the whole barangay.
07:17Let's go back to our friend here.
07:21Actually, that's not the only thing they offer.
07:23They also have tilapia here.
07:24This is their aquarium for tilapia.
07:26And this is the tilapia we grilled earlier.
07:29Let's put a little margarine.
07:31To make it tastier,
07:33let's put some slices here.
07:35There you go.
07:37They put it here, Sir Jojo.
07:39There you go.
07:40To make it tastier.
07:43Okay, okay, okay.
07:44Okay.
07:45Let's leave it there for now
07:46because it takes about one hour though.
07:48That's 30 minutes per side to cook.
07:50So that's a bit long.
07:51These are our tilapia.
07:53And there are also bangus.
07:55But earlier,
07:56we already tasted the hito that we grilled earlier.
07:59But there are other dishes here.
08:01There's paksiw,
08:02and there's ginataan.
08:03And that's what we're going to try now.
08:05Let's go.
08:06Let's try it.
08:08I'm going to use my hands
08:09because it's more delicious to eat with your hands.
08:12This is the paksiw, guys.
08:14There.
08:15Of course, let's eat it with a bit of rice.
08:21There.
08:22It's so tender.
08:23It's so delicious.
08:24As you can see,
08:25it's so meaty.
08:26So it's worth the price, guys.
08:29You can see how big this is.
08:30This is the grilled one.
08:33But it's the same one with paksiw and ginataan.
08:35So this is how big it is.
08:36You can get different kinds of dishes.
08:38And for more food adventures,
08:40just tune in to Mamansang Morning Show
