Aired (November 4, 2023): Ang Siargao, isa sa mga tinaguriang pinakamagandang isla sa buong Asya. Kaya naman ang iba, kahit ang ibang lahi, ay nabighani sa ganda nito.
Pero noong 2021, isang malakas na bagyo ang humagupit sa isla na ito. Kumusta na nga ba ang Siargao makalipas ang halos dalawang taon?
Ngayong Sabado, samahan si Howie Severino na tuklasin ang #SiargaoMagic at kumustahin ang lagay ng isla at ng mga naninirahan dito.

14:29 (speaking in foreign language)
14:31 So tell us about that.
14:32 - When we were doing relief efforts,
14:35 (speaking in foreign language)
14:36 we identified some of the families
14:38 that were sheltering in one house.
14:41 (speaking in foreign language)
14:44 At that time, it was still post-pandemic,
14:47 so we were concerned of their health.

17:48 - But there was something that brought you here.
17:51 - When I chance upon this island,
17:53 (speaking in foreign language)
17:54 I felt like it really healed me.
17:56 I have so many past traumas also to my (speaking in foreign language)
18:01 and I just wanted to just get away from it,
18:04 to the locals, even if they don't have much,
18:07 they really try to welcome you,
18:08 give you (speaking in foreign language)
18:13 which is one of our Filipino traits,
18:21 being hospitable.
18:22 (speaking in foreign language)
18:24 Along the years, (speaking in foreign language)
18:29 we always greet each other along the road
18:35 and also with the Siargao nuns,

19:33 (speaking in foreign language)
19:37 (speaking in foreign language)
20:05 Siargao has always had this magic
20:07 to attract people from all parts of the globe, even then.
20:11 - So tell me about this magic.
20:12 I mean, what makes it special?
20:15 (speaking in foreign language)
20:19 - So it's you and your relationship with nature
20:26 and they carry that when they're on the ground.
20:28 - So where were you during Typhoon Odette?
20:31 - I was here, I was in the island.
20:33 I wanted to leave the island,
20:36 but for some reason, I decided to stay.
20:38 Looking back now, I'm glad that I stayed
20:41 because I am now even more grounded to the island.
20:46 It was probably the most traumatic,
20:49 terrifying experience I've ever had.

21:04 (speaking in foreign language)
21:09 (speaking in foreign language)

22:25 (speaking in foreign language)
22:30 (speaking in foreign language)
22:59 (speaking in foreign language)
23:03 - The island needs more sustainable initiatives, I think.
23:12 (speaking in foreign language)
23:16 They're far from the tourism area,
23:19 so employment is (speaking in foreign language)
23:27 So it's good that they're farming now
23:30 because it can really help them
23:34 not just address food shortage for their homes,
23:38 but eventually become entrepreneurs
23:41 and earn from their farm.
23:43 (speaking in foreign language)
23:49 (speaking in foreign language)
23:53 - First of all, national concern.
24:13 (speaking in foreign language)
