00:00 We're going on a road trip!
00:04 We'll go to the oh so familiar sights of Negros Oriental.
00:09 Of course, we'll start with the skin.
00:17 We'll discover new things in our taste and sight.
00:29 It's green, it's gooey, is it edible?
00:33 What are you doing?
00:46 It's just a green mango shake.
00:48 I'll be a plastic if I say it's not bitter.
00:54 [music]
01:17 And of course, just like any other viajero adventure, there's something awesome at the end of the road trip.
01:24 Watch out for that, viewers!
01:26 I thought it was the people we ate with earlier.
01:29 I thought it was them.
01:32 It's not red.
01:42 [music]
02:05 Negros Oriental
02:07 Here, you'll see world-class diving sites and a zero-crime rate tourist spot.
02:13 Believe it or not, that's what I'll prove tonight.
02:18 Fasten your seatbelts, vijeros. We're going on a road trip around Negros Oriental.
02:24 Are you coming with me?
02:31 To get to Negros Island, you'll need to travel for at least 1.5 hours to Dumaguete City.
02:38 Touchdown, Cibulan Airport.
02:41 From here, you'll get a chance to buy a car to start your road trip.
02:47 Nice!
02:48 But as for me and the B&D crew, we rented a van to avoid the traffic.
02:53 We won't be taking too long.
02:58 First stop, Cibulan City.
03:01 45 minutes from Cibulan Airport, get in the private van.
03:06 Your twins are waiting for you.
03:08 Twin lakes, that is.
03:10 There are two lakes here, sir.
03:20 That's why they call it twin lakes.
03:22 What we're seeing here is...
03:24 That's called Lake Balin-Sasayang.
03:26 Okay. What's the name of that bird?
03:28 Bird?
03:29 The locals before said Balin-Sayaw-Sayaw.
03:32 Balin is a lot.
03:33 Later on, it became Balin-Sasayaw.
03:36 It's area is 76 hectares.
03:39 And then, its elevation above sea level is 830 meters above sea level.
03:45 If we're going to the other lake, the smaller one, Lake Danau,
03:48 we're boating, and then we trek up to the viewing deck,
03:51 it's 840 meters above sea level.
03:55 Wow, that's nice.
03:57 This twin lakes is a must-visit place in Cibulan City.
04:01 You'll know why, my friends.
04:03 Do I need to say more?
04:05 If you're just here, try birdwatching.
04:08 Because of the growing trees and the lively ecosystem,
04:12 it's not surprising that many birds live here.
04:15 As a birdwatcher, where is the best spot for you?
04:22 Okay, there's no best spot here because the birds,
04:25 they transfer from one footing to the other.
04:28 If the tree is full, they eat from that.
04:31 So from here, the best way would be for you to get a boat,
04:34 and then go around.
04:36 And how long is the experience?
04:40 It's about one hour.
04:43 [music]
04:45 To make it worth it,
05:06 try riding a boat and going around the lake in a dance.
05:11 All for 500 pesos.
05:13 Sir, I think it's still a bit far.
05:18 It's upside down.
05:20 What?
05:21 It's upside down.
05:22 Oh, my God.
05:23 It's still upside down.
05:25 Huh?
05:26 It's still upside down.
05:27 It's still upside down?
05:28 Yes, it's side B, side A.
05:29 Reverse, there.
05:30 Ah.
05:31 There.
05:35 It's close.
05:37 Yes, there.
05:38 The American guy got carried away.
05:41 Be a hero tip, watch out for flying birds.
05:44 As you cruise down the lake,
05:46 make sure that your binoculars and cameras are ready.
05:49 This is what we call twin lakes.
05:51 This is the biggest lake,
05:54 and it's deep.
05:55 And the lake,
05:57 the dance is upside down.
05:59 We probably hiked for, I don't know, 10 minutes.
06:03 But it's loud.
06:05 When you're here, you shouldn't rush.
06:07 Because you're just here to appreciate nature,
06:11 go bird watching.
06:12 If you brought your cameras with you,
06:15 that's a bonus.
06:17 You can go anywhere.
06:19 You can just put your boat aside
06:21 so that you're closer to the trees.
06:24 If you're closer to the trees,
06:26 you have a better chance of seeing endemic birds
06:29 or different types of birds here.
06:31 But then, if you're okay,
06:33 there,
06:35 we'll stop here,
06:37 and after a short trek,
06:38 we'll go to the other lake,
06:41 which is Lake Danau.
06:43 We're still busy with the dance.
06:47 Let's go to the Kakakambanian Sidanaw.
06:49 It's a long walk to see the lake.
06:57 But don't worry,
06:58 it's worth it because I heard
07:00 it's really beautiful.
07:02 Looks like you're having fun.
07:04 How do you enjoy the place?
07:06 How do you enjoy the place?
07:08 Oh, I love it. It's great here.
07:10 I'm thrilled, especially the mist.
07:14 The mist is mystical.
07:16 First, like, okay, and then boom.
07:19 No need for that.
07:24 No, no drugs.
07:26 No drugs.
07:28 The mist will get you high.
07:31 How's the water?
07:33 The water is perfect.
07:35 And if you want to cool down,
07:38 go down two meters,
07:40 drops about five degrees centigrade.
07:43 Yep, Lake Danau is beautiful.
07:47 I don't like it, I love it.
07:49 When you're at the lake,
07:51 just relax and appreciate the water and the view.
08:01 Viejeros, you know what?
08:03 I'm getting hungry.
08:05 Where's a good place to eat?
08:07 And since we're here,
08:11 let's go to the food haven of Negros Oriental.
08:13 It'll take us about an hour to get there.
08:15 Viejerotip, if you're traveling for an hour,
08:19 make sure you have something to eat.
08:22 But if you don't, just go to sleep hungry.
08:28 Let's try their hummus first.
08:31 I think it's Greek food.
08:34 I guess that's what I eat in Greek restaurants.
08:39 For those who don't know,
08:41 hummus is made with garbanzos.
08:43 It's mashed.
08:45 There you go.
08:46 Good appetizer, high in protein.
08:48 You got your pita bread,
08:50 you got your olive oil.
08:56 Very good.
08:58 I like the chef/owner.
09:04 He said, as much as possible,
09:07 they want to use local produce.
09:10 It's part local.
09:12 Here are their appetizers.
09:14 You got your shrimp rolled in bacon.
09:18 Anything with bacon is so good.
09:23 Salad.
09:25 This is interesting.
09:27 Edible ferns from Lake Balintasayaw.
09:32 You can't miss out on choices here.
09:36 Starting at 500 for 2 pesos.
09:39 We're happy we have extra money.
09:43 So most of the food that we're featuring,
09:48 60% seafood.
09:50 We're in the middle of the ocean.
09:52 This is their salmon.
09:55 Looks like it's grilled.
09:57 The presentation is good.
10:01 But then, this is the interesting part.
10:05 It's tuna wrapped in nori leaves.
10:10 It's crunchy.
10:12 And you also have your vegetable.
10:17 It's like tempura.
10:20 With sauce.
10:22 I guess if you just want to experience something new,
10:32 something out of the country,
10:35 you know, type of cuisine,
10:37 KRI might be the restaurant for you.
10:47 Dumaguete City, City of the Gentle Giants.
10:50 Because you can also find here
10:52 the warm and friendly whale sharks or budanding.
10:56 We drove less than 30 minutes from Cebulan Airport
10:59 to get to Dumaguete.
11:00 Aside from this gateway,
11:02 going to different dive spots and beaches in Negros Oriental,
11:05 it's also known for its foodies.
11:07 We can't miss out on a well-known coffee shop
11:15 where they make our all-time favorite dessert.
11:18 Yup, the melt-in-your-mouth San Trival and Silvanas.
11:25 From the classic dessert,
11:30 we'll go to the Bide sa Handaan,
11:33 which is about 10 minutes from here.
11:34 May I present to you,
11:36 Dumaguete's version of Lechon.
11:39 Our Lechon looks ready.
11:41 What's the story behind Jerry's Lechon?
11:44 Our Lechon started in 1982.
11:47 1982?
11:48 We're the oldest Lechon in Dumaguete.
11:51 Wow.
11:52 Jerry's Lechon started as a small restaurant.
11:57 Because this roasted pig is always in the spotlight,
11:59 Jerry quickly became known.
12:02 They even have secret ingredients that they mix with pork,
12:05 which makes every bite delicious.
12:10 Is there a difference in cooking Lechon?
12:15 Our Lechon is boiled in milk.
12:18 Boiled in milk?
12:19 Yes.
12:20 Ah, okay.
12:21 Why did you think of using milk?
12:24 It's because I'm used to it.
12:26 It's from my husband's parents.
12:29 So the milk is for the taste?
12:31 Yes, for the taste.
12:32 Not for the color?
12:33 No, for the color.
12:34 So it's even.
12:35 That's how they take care of their pork, my friends.
12:39 Give them a milk bath.
12:41 To make it more delicious, you're the one who chooses the pork.
12:44 They call it Bisbuk Lechon.
12:46 Let's try this, madam.
12:51 Usually, people don't eat here.
12:54 No, we don't eat here.
12:56 We just make Lechon.
12:57 They come here to order a whole Lechon.
13:01 Wow, it's just the process of cooking.
13:06 I'm getting intrigued.
13:08 [music]
13:17 This is my bed, my love.
13:19 Of course, I'll be the first to taste the skin.
13:26 It's crispy.
13:36 When I eat Lechon, my favorite part is the ribs.
13:41 The ribs are the tastiest.
13:44 How long has this been here?
13:49 About four months.
13:52 There's Lechon de Leche, right?
13:54 How many months is that?
13:55 About two months.
13:57 That's small.
13:58 But why do they order Lechon de Leche?
14:01 Because it's bigger?
14:02 Because they say the small one is more delicious.
14:04 The small one is more delicious.
14:06 So, how much is Lechon de Leche?
14:09 It's 3,000 pesos.
14:11 How about this?
14:12 3,500.
14:13 The bigger one?
14:15 It's 6,000 pesos.
14:16 That's what's inside.
14:17 Inside.
14:18 Okay.
14:19 Yum.
14:24 It's really good.
14:26 It's a little tasty.
14:28 And of course, it's a lot of fat.
14:31 You don't eat Lechon every day.
14:33 So, you should try it.
14:35 It's good.
14:36 Remember, if you want to make a Lechon Pasalubong,
14:42 you need to order ahead of time.
14:44 Solve?
14:45 Solve.
14:47 I've found a different kind of Lechon.
14:49 I've added more Pasalubong on my list.
14:52 It looks like we've been tested on the taste of sweet and spicy food, Biero.
14:57 Time to detoxify.
15:02 From Lechonan, we'll visit a new and healthy coffee shop
15:06 in a town around 10 minutes away.
15:08 This coffee shop uses all organic ingredients.
15:13 We're here in Dumaguete.
15:14 For the past couple of years,
15:16 different coffee shops have been trying to do business here.
15:19 Not just Metro Manila.
15:21 We're here at their local organic cafe in Dumaguete.
15:27 They don't use MSG.
15:32 They don't use any vegetables or fruits.
15:35 They don't use any fertilizer.
15:37 And to make it better,
15:39 all the ingredients they use are from Negros Oriental.
15:46 First on our menu, something familiar but with a twist.
15:52 Ha!
15:54 At first glance, I thought it was Pancit Canton with sweet potato.
15:58 I guess it's a tradition here in Dumaguete
16:01 that apparently, bamboo shoots and sweet potato are what they eat.
16:05 If it's a local favorite, then that's it.
16:08 Okay, so bamboo shoots.
16:10 This is healthier than Pancit Canton.
16:14 Pancit Canton tastes better.
16:16 Let's try it.
16:19 Ah!
16:20 Feels like home.
16:23 Next up, we'll try a different alternative to what we're used to.
16:30 Moving on.
16:32 This looks like chicken.
16:35 Hash brown chicken filet.
16:37 That's what they usually do.
16:39 They buy bread crumbs.
16:42 What they do is they just recycle.
16:45 It's not as soft anymore.
16:48 Bread crumbs.
16:50 Of course, sweet potato.
16:51 Sweet potato fries.
16:52 That's good chicken.
16:57 This is their version of shawarma.
17:01 This is made from sweet potato.
17:06 But the sauce is...
17:08 Hot sauce.
17:13 Hot sauce.
17:14 Hot sauce.
17:16 So, did you think that this restaurant is normal?
17:25 No.
17:26 They're meeting people to eat.
17:29 It's very conscious.
17:35 It's different when you're meeting people.
17:36 It's doable.
17:39 You can use other ingredients.
17:41 But this one also, their pizza is made out of sweet potato.
17:45 Sweet potato again.
17:46 It's alright.
17:55 You can taste the toppings.
18:00 It's not really the dough.
18:05 Of course, our visit here won't be complete if we don't try their bestseller.
18:11 Meet my green and gooey friends.
18:13 It's green.
18:16 It's gooey.
18:17 Is it edible?
18:19 Salyut soup.
18:21 Garlic salyut soup.
18:24 The crocodile will come out.
18:26 Don't play with your food.
18:28 How can I eat this, mom?
18:30 I smell first.
18:34 She doesn't want to eat.
18:36 If I do that,
18:39 I'll eat it.
18:41 Oh, it's okay.
18:43 Just close your eyes.
18:49 Just breathe.
18:51 Healthy, healthy, healthy, healthy, longer life, longer life.
18:53 You want more?
18:54 We're here.
18:57 If you're with your kids, don't show this.
19:02 She'll think, "Mom, I can't eat bitter gourd anymore."
19:05 "Son, what's wrong with you?"
19:08 "Just green mango shake."
19:12 I'll be plastic if I say I'm not skinny.
19:21 You know, my taste has evolved over the years.
19:24 We've been doing this for 12 years, right?
19:27 I used to not eat bitter gourd.
19:28 Now, I like bitter gourd.
19:31 I used to not eat...
19:33 "Alato!"
19:34 Now, I like it.
19:36 I used to not eat bitter gourd.
19:39 Even now, I still can't eat bitter gourd.
19:42 But for those who eat bitter gourd,
19:45 they like it to be skinny.
19:46 So, let's eat.
19:48 You know me, brothers.
19:50 If you eat a lot,
19:52 let's drink coffee.
19:53 It's good that I always have my cameraman, Jeff, with me.
19:57 Try it, sir.
20:01 You're making me nervous.
20:03 It's okay.
20:04 We're drinking coffee, but I'm the only one drinking it.
20:06 I'm not Alan.
20:07 Just sit here.
20:08 You go first.
20:10 Okay, I'll go first.
20:11 Why does it taste like a different coffee, bro?
20:16 Corn.
20:18 Corn, corn, corn.
20:19 I'm getting a lot.
20:20 This is actually corn, sir.
20:22 That's why it's so dark.
20:25 Is the corn good?
20:26 It's not good.
20:27 Try it, sir.
20:29 It's burnt corn.
20:30 Try it.
20:31 That's enough.
20:38 It's burnt.
20:40 That's why I can't forget when I cook.
20:42 Hey, this is good.
20:45 You're eating it, bro?
20:46 Yes, sir. This is my favorite.
20:48 There.
20:49 Is it good?
20:54 It's good.
20:55 This is the best.
20:56 It's good.
20:58 It's so good.
20:59 Of course, Jeff doesn't agree that we're the only ones who will taste these dishes.
21:03 Not Viejos, a family that eats together, stays together.
21:08 That's why, attack BND family!
21:11 There.
21:15 Let's go full tank, guys.
21:16 It's time to continue our march.
21:18 Let's go and visit the city of Valencia.
21:21 Less than an hour from Cebula, the trip will go by bus or van.
21:26 Our adrenaline junkie friends will be happy here.
21:30 Skateball or skate pool started in the US.
21:36 Surfers can't play with waves.
21:40 They're looking for an alternative where they can still catch a stoke.
21:46 We're all surfers.
21:47 And then, there were times when we didn't have waves on our island.
21:51 So we made a bowl here in the forest camp.
21:56 We'll play with a skate that looks like it's surfing.
21:59 So that's really our intention.
22:02 If extreme adventure isn't your thing, don't worry Viejos.
22:06 There's still a lot of activities to do here.
22:08 This eco park resort is already inside the skate park, the perfect venue.
22:18 The forest camp is probably the first eco-friendly adventure resort here in Negros.
22:24 Of course, there are nature pools, rock wall, our zip line, and then we also have a bike trail.
22:30 We can also guide on our hikes.
22:34 From Cebula, we'll travel for an hour via private van to reach the city of Valencia.
22:46 If you don't have a private van, you can take a bus.
22:51 Here, we'll find the natural wonders of Negros Oriental.
22:57 And did you know that the Vizayas region is also home to the Corrientes supplier?
23:02 Yup!
23:03 Let's get to know Valencia, Viejos.
23:07 We're going to Red Rocks Waterfalls.
23:10 That's one of the main attractions here in Dumaguete.
23:14 I thought that the place where we ate a lot of sweet potatoes earlier, the local organic cafe,
23:21 there, there's a fire.
23:24 My friends are already popping up. I thought that was it.
23:26 The one I can smell is coming from the sulfur smoke from the sulfur vents.
23:31 Apparently, it gives geothermal energy.
23:35 Apparently, we're here in the town of Valencia,
23:38 which is one of their biggest geothermal plant.
23:44 So, if you're going to Red Rocks Waterfalls,
23:48 don't doubt your friends.
23:51 Just smell it.
23:53 Or you can just let go so you won't be seen.
23:56 From the town proper, we need to travel about half an hour to reach one of Valencia's popular tourist spots.
24:05 A place where you will fall in love.
24:08 But, tip!
24:13 It's a rough road to get to the top of the mountain.
24:16 Where can we find it?
24:17 So, I suggest that we just go for a walk.
24:20 We're from Twin Lakes, and now we're here at Twin Falls.
24:33 That's why it's called Twin Falls because
24:36 this is where the other one comes from, which is sulfur water.
24:40 Now, on the right side, you can see another falls, which is natural spring water.
24:48 That's right.
24:49 This is where they diverge and go up and down.
24:53 It's so funny because I almost forgot that we already featured this.
24:57 We also experienced this Twin Falls a couple of years back.
25:02 It's just that it looks different now.
25:04 Different in a sense that it's better because, if I remember it correctly,
25:10 we came from a freshwater fall, and then it took us a while to go down and experience the sulfur water.
25:20 Now, right now, you have your, I guess, cemented steps.
25:25 You have your railings.
25:26 So that it's at least less hassle for the tourists.
25:31 You just have to think about how you can enjoy Twin Falls.
25:36 This falls is called "Pulang Bato" because of the reddish water that you can see here.
25:44 The color of the red rocks around the falls comes from the red rocks.
25:48 According to the locals, the water can turn red on your body.
25:52 It's just like a joke.
25:54 Let's see if I can become a Redman.
25:58 [Music]
26:17 It's not red anymore.
26:18 Oh, my! The sulfur is hot!
26:22 It's cold!
26:27 Aside from the red rocks, there are also falls next to it.
26:30 The water here is lower and weaker.
26:34 That's why you can just chill out and enjoy the breeze.
26:39 If you're looking for a natural jacuzzi, let's try a hot spring nearby.
26:55 The Red Rock Hot Spring comes from the ground.
27:00 It's like a sludge.
27:03 It's called Red Rock because the rocks are red because of the sulfur.
27:10 The water is not too cold and not too hot.
27:17 It's just right for swimming.
27:22 It's relaxing and therapeutic.
27:26 You can relax for 20 minutes from the town proper.
27:31 It's only 10 pesos.
27:33 We've been to a lot of places in the road trip before, but this is just a bedtime.
27:39 I'm sure we won't have a hard time finding accommodation.
27:43 From budget stay to luxurious accommodations.
27:47 In Valencia, there's a cheap backpacker's resort.
27:51 It starts at 850 pesos per head.
27:58 You won't have a problem with your stay.
28:00 Don't understand the noise at night because there are noises in every room.
28:06 If you have an extra budget, you can stay at the hotel.
28:16 If you have an extra budget for accommodation, try to travel to the nearby town of Dawin.
28:21 You can find the best and the most luxurious accommodations here.
28:28 You can stay not only in one room but in the whole house.
28:35 Do you want a cotto type?
28:39 There's also this.
28:54 For 10,000 pesos per night, you can sleep in this fully furnished unit.
28:59 So luxurious.
29:02 You can just stay here for a night.
29:05 Not too fancy, not too basic.
29:08 This place is about 45 minutes away from the Maguete City proper.
29:12 I'm actually pretty impressed with the resort.
29:19 It's new but homey.
29:21 But it's not like they haven't changed.
29:23 I think they've been here for more than 10 years.
29:25 They've expanded.
29:26 But anywho, they have around 28 rooms.
29:28 This is my suite.
29:30 When you enter, you have a holding area.
29:33 I guess this holding area is for your guests.
29:37 Why?
29:38 Because outside, you have a bar, a ref, and you can serve water.
29:47 See?
29:48 Cool.
29:50 You can also take a shower here.
29:55 And of course, there's an entrance.
29:58 There.
29:59 Oh wow, sorry, I had a wild night.
30:02 Anyway, flat screen TV.
30:04 You have your Hawaiian cabinet.
30:08 King-size bed.
30:09 Really, really good.
30:10 And your mega bathroom.
30:15 Shower, toilet, jacuzzi.
30:19 Alright.
30:21 So this is actually just good for two.
30:24 It's priced around 8,000 bucks with free breakfast.
30:28 They give you a beach bag.
30:30 See?
30:31 Devil is in the details.
30:33 So I'll give you this because you'll be going to the beach.
30:37 Okay?
30:38 Okay.
30:40 Enjoy yourself.
30:41 Okay.
30:42 But wait, before we sleep, let's try the specialty of this resort.
30:48 We'll feature or highlight what they offer for cuisine.
30:53 So this is actually owned by a Swiss/Filipino.
30:58 They also offer Japanese cuisine.
31:02 You have your sushis.
31:04 Right.
31:05 But of course, we're here in the Philippines.
31:08 Right?
31:09 You can't miss out on Kinilaw.
31:12 Niaw na shrimp.
31:15 And again, of course, we have Europeans also as well.
31:18 So we have, okay, fine.
31:20 Pizza.
31:21 Pizza is for everyone.
31:22 Right?
31:23 Pizza is for everyone.
31:24 Let's eat.
31:26 What should we eat first?
31:27 Ray, what should we eat first?
31:28 Rice first.
31:29 Okay.
31:30 Okay, rice, rice, rice.
31:32 Let's calm down first.
31:34 That's just a highlight.
31:35 We're just being shy about food.
31:37 Let's try their Swiss dish.
31:49 If you have a resort or establishment that has been around for a decade, more than a decade,
31:55 you know that their food is already good.
31:59 It's really good.
32:00 And the taste is Filipino.
32:05 So, this is good.
32:07 From Europe, we'll go to Asia.
32:15 We'll try their sushi.
32:19 Before Drew's trip, I didn't eat sushi.
32:22 But when we went to Hokkaido, boom!
32:25 Really.
32:26 My senses were enlightened.
32:30 When I got back to the Philippines, I was like, "Hey, I'm enlightened about Japanese cuisine."
32:36 This is, I think, prawn.
32:41 Whatever it is, it looks good.
32:44 We can't decide what to eat?
32:46 You have options.
32:48 Options, options.
32:50 It's fresh.
32:58 Crunchy.
33:00 Flavorful.
33:02 They have variety.
33:04 The feel of the resort is just very homey.
33:10 It's not like a very commercialized resort.
33:13 Hey, you know what I mean.
33:15 Come here.
33:16 It's your home.
33:17 Away from home.
33:18 That's okay.
33:19 Okay?
33:20 Okay.
33:21 Let's eat.
33:22 Let's eat.
33:23 We passed through three cities on our road trip.
33:30 And we've come to the end of our adventure.
33:32 Of course, we've saved the best for last.
33:36 [music]
33:40 This is the best tourist spot I can say, Negros Oriental.
33:48 There are a lot of dive spots here and beautiful views.
33:53 I'll take you to the town of Dawin, known as a top tourist destination that's a world class tourist attraction.
34:02 But don't get too excited, we're not going there because we have something new to try.
34:07 Ever heard of muck diving?
34:13 It's a type of dive where you need to dive under the sea to see sea creatures.
34:20 It's perfect to see sea creatures.
34:25 It's a great place to see sea creatures.
34:27 [music]
34:32 It's perfect to see different types of small sea creatures.
34:34 [music]
34:48 Are you excited to meet and greet them, Biero?
34:50 Me too.
34:51 My cameraman, Ray, and I are ready.
34:53 [music]
35:05 Biero Tip, you need a little patience to see these sea creatures.
35:09 [music]
35:17 After a few minutes of searching, finally.
35:22 I saw the king of the ocean, a lion.
35:25 Lionfish.
35:26 Just kidding.
35:27 These beautiful sea creatures have poisonous stings, so be careful, Biero.
35:33 Look, don't touch.
35:34 Aside from lionfish, there are also a lot of sea anemones that you can find here.
35:41 It's hard to look at, but they're also predatory animals.
35:46 It's rare to see them when you're muck diving.
35:50 [music]
35:53 It's not easy to see sea creatures when you're muck diving,
35:56 so when you're in Sinuete, you can just say, "Amazing!"
36:00 Worth the trip, right?
36:01 Before we go home, we have time to buy a gift for my wife.
36:10 Ten minutes from our hotel is a local market where you can buy a delicious type of suman.
36:17 We're here at the Dawin market.
36:20 Before we go home, let's buy some souvenirs.
36:23 They have a thing called "tapul" and you can buy it here at the market.
36:32 Good morning, ma'am.
36:34 Good morning, too.
36:36 We heard that you're selling tapul. Is that right?
36:40 Yes.
36:41 What is tapul?
36:42 This is sticky rice. It's delicious, sir.
36:47 No, no, it's delicious.
36:48 You just open it and you can taste it.
36:51 So, it's sticky rice?
36:53 Yes, it's sticky rice.
36:55 Then, you put some chocolate.
36:57 Like that?
36:58 Yes, okay.
36:59 This is sweet because it's made with sugar.
37:01 And that is with salt.
37:04 So, this is a bit salty, then you put a bit of sweetness, it's a win.
37:07 Yes.
37:10 It's almost the same when you cook it in an ordinary suman.
37:13 But what's special about this is the use of purple colored sticky rice.
37:20 That's why it's healthier.
37:37 Tapul is usually paired with hot chocolate or tablea.
37:40 It's perfect for breakfast or snack.
37:42 It's like suman.
37:45 It's like suman but without coconut milk.
37:47 It has coconut milk.
37:48 Locals usually choose tapul because aside from being delicious and cheap, it's also expensive.
37:53 A bit of coconut milk and a bit of salt.
38:00 It's good.
38:05 It's also delicious if you have a mango.
38:08 Sumaca.
38:09 Sumaca.
38:10 Yes.
38:11 Suman, mango, and banana.
38:14 Yes, banana.
38:16 How much is this?
38:18 It's only 10 pesos.
38:19 10 pesos?
38:20 Okay, ma'am.
38:21 I'll get 10.
38:25 10 pesos, okay.
38:26 10, 10, 10.
38:27 This is new.
38:28 Yes, ma'am.
38:29 So, the taste is really like suman.
38:32 Suman with a bit of salt and coconut milk.
38:37 It's not advisable to eat on its own.
38:43 It's better if you have a bit of sweetness.
38:46 Actually, if you have a lot of sweetness.
38:47 So, it's really good when it comes to that.
38:50 Sweet fruits.
38:52 Sweet mangoes are perfect.
38:54 Okay, ma'am.
38:57 Nice.
38:58 Thank you.
38:59 Thank you, ma'am.
39:00 In every trip, it's not important how far or near we are arriving.
39:05 What's important is that we did everything to make our trip worth it.
39:08 Negros Oriental, thanks for another via amazing experience.
39:13 Thank you.
39:14 Thank you.
39:15 Thank you.
39:16 Thank you.
39:17 Thank you.
39:18 Thank you.
