00:00The province of Bukidnon is known for its mountainous area.
00:06It has a cool climate and a wide variety of crops.
00:13That's why it's also known as the Highland Paradise of Lindanao.
00:19Its name comes from the Bisayan word bukid which means mountain.
00:24To get to Bukidnon from Manila, you need to take a plane to Cagayan de Oro Airport.
00:38From Cagayan de Oro Airport, you need to travel for 2 to 3 hours to Bukidnon.
00:47My first stop, of course, is one of the most famous stalls here in Bukidnon.
00:55It's nothing else but what they call the Comoynal Ranch.
00:59Of course, before we go up to my cowboy trip, I need to buy a hat.
01:08This is what they call a cowboy hat.
01:10Come, join me, Kawandor. Let's buy one.
01:12What's a good color?
01:13What's a good color?
01:15Is it this? Is it this? Is it...
01:17Mini, mini, my Nemo, which one should I choose?
01:22This one.
01:24This one looks good.
01:26How much is it?
01:27P150.
01:29After buying a cowboy hat, it's all set.
01:33How can I get there?
01:35It's so tight. This is perfect.
01:37Sir, can I go up?
01:39Can you carry me?
01:41Can I go in front?
01:43I'm just kidding.
01:46To get to Comoynal Ranch, you need to travel up the mountain by car.
01:53Wow! Adventure!
01:55The fare is P150 for each trip.
02:02Delicious!
02:04After a 15-minute drive,
02:07you will see a beautiful mountain.
02:18Kawandor, this is not New Zealand. This is Bukidnon.
02:23Guys, the mountain is so beautiful.
02:27And I'm the only person here, Mama Su.
02:29Wow! All the things you see are my stats.
02:38Comoynal Ranch is a place where different types of animals are taken care of.
02:44It is located in the town of Impasugong,
02:48home of the finest cowboys in the country.
02:53Horses are commonly used by locals here for tourists,
03:00for farm work, and as a means of transportation.
03:07That's why I visited Empoy at Comoynal Ranch.
03:10What else? Horses!
03:13We're almost there.
03:15Kawandor, I'm surrounded by horses.
03:19We're going to ride a horse. This is my first place.
03:23Is it kind, Kuya?
03:28It's my first time, Kawandor, but I trust you guys.
03:32I love you, guys.
03:34Whitey, don't do that to me.
03:36And after a few minutes of force,
03:40I'm happy because I'm not used to riding a horse.
03:45I'm not afraid because I know that they'll remember me, Kuya.
03:49I'm more afraid of you.
04:06And of course, Kawandor, after welcoming me earlier,
04:10now we're going to meet the cowboys.
04:18And here in Comoynal Ranch,
04:21known as Rodeo King,
04:25for 15 years,
04:27the main livelihood of our Kawandor, Jansli,
04:32has been cowboys.
04:33Let's talk to Jansli.
04:35Why did you choose to be Rodeo King?
04:39They told us to play rodeo, Sir.
04:52How do you ride a horse that won't get hurt?
04:55Hold your horse.
04:57Hold it like this.
04:59Like this?
05:00Yes, like this.
05:02Like this?
05:04Like this, Sir.
05:06Like this, Sir.
05:08Come closer, Sir.
05:10Like this?
05:11Yes, like that.
05:16Put your foot here, Sir.
05:18Here, here.
05:20It's okay.
05:21I rode it earlier, right?
05:22I'm okay.
05:23I just want our Kawandor viewers to learn that
05:26that's the proper way to ride a horse.
05:29Tourists who visit Comoynal Ranch
05:33are offered a horse tour for Php 200.
05:38And because of his long career,
05:41he was called Rodeo King of Ipasugong.
05:45So you're Rodeo King?
05:47What about Bianca?
05:52But Kawandor,
05:54aside from horses,
05:55there are also a lot of cows here.
05:57Comoynal Ranch is the only ranch owned by the municipal government of Ipasugong
06:03and only one in the Philippines.
06:05For example, if I have a cow, I will put it here
06:08and I will pay the municipality.
06:10And then, in return, the cowboys here will take care of it.
06:16Because of its beautiful location,
06:18the cowboys' ranch became a popular tourist spot.
06:27Let's go!
06:28Let's ride a horse!
