00:07 Good evening, Kapuso!
00:09 I'm your brother Kim, who will give you a trivia behind the trending news.
00:13 The residents of a barangay in Antique are saying that the water from the sea is not salty.
00:20 How did this happen and did they save the drink?
00:23 [music]
00:27 A lot of questions are running through their minds.
00:30 When they go on vacation in the barangay of Barangay Baramig in Libertad Antique,
00:34 they say that the water from the sea is the reason why they are so rich.
00:37 It's really a shoreline. I was really surprised.
00:39 The water is fresh. I didn't know that the chan was sick.
00:42 This is where they get the incidents of drinking.
00:44 When I was young, we also drink here.
00:47 It's fresh and the taste is good.
00:49 But why is it that the water they get in the barangay of Barangay Baramig is not salty?
00:56 Brother Kim, why is the water from the sea salty?
00:58 Brother Kim, what's the matter?
01:02 It is estimated that 70% of our planet is covered in water.
01:06 And 97% of this water is salty water.
01:09 Did you know that the saltiness of the sea comes from the soil?
01:11 The process of rain starts.
01:13 When the rain falls from the atmosphere, it mixes with carbon dioxide.
01:16 It becomes slightly acidic.
01:18 When it falls and mixes with the soil, it erodes the rocks and gets a little salt and other dissolved minerals.
01:24 When the rain mixes with the sea water, the other minerals that are left are gone.
01:28 And because of some chemical process, the only thing left is salt.
01:31 The other salt in the sea comes from the hydrothermal activity and volcanic activity that happens under the sea.
01:38 Meanwhile, the water that comes from the sea that is drunk by the people of Barangay Baramig,
01:42 they only get it during low tide.
01:44 It's salty if it's high tide.
01:45 Because during low tide, you can only see the mouth of a buccal where the water that can be drunk comes from.
01:50 There's a buccal that really comes out.
01:52 Maybe from the forest.
01:54 The question is, is it safe to drink water from here?
01:57 We conducted a water sample quarterly.
02:01 It's negative for microbial.
02:03 It's safe to drink.
02:04 We still need to be careful because we can get diseases like cancer or parasitism, especially when it rains.
02:10 Of course, it's still a buccal.
02:11 It can be mixed.
02:12 We have precautionary measures to do.
02:15 We need to boil the water because it can kill microbes.
02:18 But the water in this sea is not only drinkable.
02:21 Because it's so salty, whoever drinks it won't drown but will drown.
02:27 This is considered one of the saltiest waters in the world, the Dead Sea,
02:36 that can be found between Israel and Jordan.
02:38 Its salinity is around 34%.
02:41 It's almost 10 times saltier than the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean.
02:45 Because of the high concentration of salt,
02:47 the water in the Dead Sea is denser than freshwater.
02:51 That's why our bodies can easily drown here.
02:54 Are you okay?
02:55 Meanwhile, to watch the trivia behind the viral news, tweet or comment #KuyaKim.
03:01 What's next?
03:02 Always remember, what's important is what's known.
03:04 I'm Kuya Kim and I'll answer you 24 hours.
03:08 My dear friends, what's important is what's known.
