00:00Good evening Kapuso! I am your Kuya Kim who will give you the trivia behind the trending news.
00:10We will visit the heart of the ocean of an island nation in Oceania, where the largest coral reef in the world was once discovered.
00:22Almost 5,000 kilometers from the Philippines, you can find a country that I would also consider a paradise.
00:27It is said that the 1,000 islands that form here are also inhabited by the rich.
00:32This is Solomon Islands.
00:36And as proof of its rich nature, it was once discovered in the heart of the ocean that it is now considered the largest coral in the world.
00:44The natural coral is 111 feet wide, 104 feet long, and 18 feet high.
00:50And it is even bigger than the largest animal in the world, the blue whale.
00:57This Solomon Islands is rich and twice as big as the former record holder, Big Mama, which can be found in the National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa.
01:08Kuya Kim, are corals under water?
01:11Kuya Kim, what now?
01:14Even though they look like plants that give color under the sea, did you know that corals are not plants but animals?
01:20Corals are formed by small plankton-eating invertebrates called polyps.
01:26They are called cnidarians.
01:27They are the offspring of dikya and sea anemone.
01:30The small polyps grow and multiply until they form symbiotic relationships with other corals, which they form in coral reefs.
01:39We, Filipinos, also have a large coral reef, the Apo Reef in Occidental Mindoro, which is one of the largest contiguous coral reefs in the country.
01:46It is also the second largest in the world.
01:49But did you know that when corals are stressed, their bright colors disappear?
01:57When corals are stressed due to the change in the temperature of the water,
02:02UV rays and pollution are too bright, which are exposed by zooxanthellae.
02:07A type of algae or fungus causes its color to turn white.
02:12This is called coral bleaching.
02:14Coral bleaching is also a result of climate change.
02:17So, in order to protect corals, which are home to so many fish,
02:22let's not be responsible if they dive or snorkel in the sea.
02:26Recycling and throwing garbage in the right place should be done.
02:29Even minimizing the use of fertilizers is already a big help for them.
02:35Meanwhile, for you to know the trivia behind the viral news,
02:38post or just comment,
02:42Always remember, it is important to know.
02:44I am Kuya Kim and I will answer you 24 hours.

03:12How many bananas do you have now?
03:1320 per piece?
03:15Almost 100 pesos per kilo?
03:18Here it is, in all its splendor.
03:20There is nothing in this banana that is duct-taped on a white wall.
03:23It was sold for 6.2 million US dollars or more than 365 million pesos.
03:29I repeat, more than 300 million pesos for one banana.
03:33The banana was sold in Sotheby's Auction House in New York City.
03:37Who is ready to spend hundreds of millions for fruits?
03:41Well, this is Lake Hang Sining.
03:51Maurizio Catelan, an Italian artist, called this banana a comedian.
03:57He is the founder of a Chinese national cryptocurrency platform.
04:03It is worth millions of dollars.
04:06He believes that Lake Hang Sining represents a cultural phenomenon.
04:11It will be a part of history.

04:31Good evening, Kapuso.
04:33I am your Kuya Kim, and I will give you the trivia behind the trending news.
04:37The quadrangle of a university in Cebu is almost covered in colors because of their confetti.
04:43Let's enjoy their colorful celebration.
04:51This is what literally gave color to the opening of the year of intramurals
04:54of the University of Cebu, Banilad Campus in Cebu City,
04:57the rain of colorful confetti.
05:03Because of this, the whole quadrangle of the university is almost covered in confetti.
05:07This is what they call confetti wars.
05:09I had asked the UCCP president to have the intramurals unique and one of a kind.
05:15She thought of having confettis being launched from the air to signify unity via diversity.
05:25Despite being called as confetti wars, it's not actually a competition to begin with.
05:30It's just that the students have this kind of initiative or creatively thinking
05:35that more confetti, better.
05:37Confetti wars started in 2009.
05:40Since then, it has become a tradition that every student is waiting for.
05:43But how many confetti were launched in confetti wars this year?
05:47How long did they clean it?
05:50Kuya Kim, why are you the last one to launch a confetti if there's an occasion?
05:54Kuya Kim, what now?
05:56Kuya Kim, what now?
05:57It has become a tradition now to launch confetti whenever there's an occasion.
06:01Launching thousands of colorful papers is a symbol of good vibes and happiness.
06:06This is what we have prepared.
06:08This is also used in weddings.
06:10It is believed that it will bring luck and happiness to the bride and groom.
06:13Confetti launch was believed to start in Northern Italy in the Middle Ages.
06:17It has become a tradition in the 14th century to launch anything in the Italian parades.
06:22Aside from what they throw, there are candies, nuts, fruits, eggs, and mud balls.
06:26And because of the rise of technology,
06:28the old flowers and plants have been replaced with different papers of different colors.
06:34In 1885, paper confetti was first used in celebrating the New Year in Paris, France.
06:39And fast forward to 2024, we still have confetti and most of it is made of eco-friendly materials.
06:46If the University of Cebu does not follow the rules,
06:48their confetti does not harm the environment.
06:51We do not use plastic.
06:53It's free paper that we use.
06:55We do not allow other materials which are non-biodegradable.
06:59How many confetti did they launch?
07:01At an estimate, it's around 30 to 40 sacks of confetti.
07:04And even in cleaning it, they did it in one day.
07:07We have our committee as well assigned for that.
07:10After one hour, we already have cleaned the area.
07:14For those who want to launch confetti,
07:16some people buy party poppers.
07:19Do you know how this works?
07:24Most of the party poppers that we buy are placed in a tube with a trigger at the bottom.
07:30When you turn it, it explodes and makes the confetti explode.
07:35Let's try it.
07:37There!
07:38Beautiful!
07:39Inside this, there is compressed gas.
07:41The price of the gas is issued in a small hole
07:44and the wind passes through it quickly
07:46which is the reason for the sudden explosion and explosion of the popper.
07:50Meanwhile, to find out the trivia behind the viral news,

08:41My dream is to play in the snow and there, the dream came true.
08:47I almost fell asleep because of the thickness of the snow.
08:52You can fall asleep.
08:54That was one of my best experiences.
08:57But Nelson noticed something.
08:59I experienced the snow in Japan,
09:03but this is the worst experience I've ever experienced.

09:20We waited for more than 24 hours for our flight.
09:24We were taken care of here at the airport.
09:27What Nelson did not know is that he experienced a snowfall in Seoul.

10:18there are several cities near Seoul that lost electricity.
10:21There were only 5 nights due to bad weather.
