Aired (March 15, 2025): Ang lamang-dagat na kung tawagin ay lokot, inilalabas ng sea slug na dansol. Ang lokot, tila pansit ang hitsura at maihahalintulad sa seaweed ang lasa. Dahil dito, bukod sa mga isda at karaniwang lamang-dagat, may iba pang panlaman-tiyan at bulsa ang ilang mga pamilya sa Oriental Loay, Bohol. Panoorin ang video. #GoodNews

00:00They say that the Filipino Salon Salon is not complete if there is no Pancit on the table.
00:06But what about this Tila Pancit? Have you tried it yet?
00:11Do you believe that these are not really Pancit, but a type of sea fish that is just caught in the sea?
00:21We met the fisherman Rudney from Oriental Laway, Bohol.
00:26They say that their life here is simple.
00:28Their daily life is also caught in the sea.
00:32The life that I grew up with was not easy because I was the stepfather of my siblings
00:40and I was helping my mother for our family.
00:44I started fishing when I was in grade 2 or grade 3.
00:48Sometimes, I was absent because I was drinking.
00:50I really wanted to help my mother so that we can have food to eat.
00:53Aside from the usual catch, their target is also the rich sea,
00:57which is called Lokot or Pancit Pancitan in other places.
01:01Rudney was just a kid when he got used to eating this.
01:05In the morning, when the low tide is high, my cousins go to coastal areas to catch Lokot.
01:13I also want to learn how to catch it and I also learned how to fish.
01:18This is popular in their area, especially when the tide is low.
01:22They just pick it from the rocks and grass in the sea.
01:26This is so delicious.
01:29It has a sweet and salty taste similar to seaweed.
01:35When we catch a lot of Lokot, we go to faraway places.
01:40We exchange our Lokot for banana, ube, gabe, or kamuteng kahoy.
01:46Because the fishermen also like Lokot.
01:50That's why they don't just eat Lokot on the table,
01:54they also earn from it or give it to their neighbors.
01:59When I come home from the sea, especially when the tide is high,
02:02I give it to our neighbors, especially the elderly.
02:06They really like it because it's sweet.
02:08These snails are from a type of sea slug called donzol or sea hare in English,
02:16which is the offspring of sea snail and octopus.
02:19Most of the time, Lokot's color is green because donzol's favorite food is sea grass and worms in the water.
02:26But what is the Lokot that they release into the body?
02:30According to the story of the elders, this is a donzol snail.
02:35When I researched it, I found out that Lokot is a donzol egg.
02:39Sea hares usually lay eggs in the rocks.
02:43They also lay seaweeds.
02:45But that's what people collect.
02:48It's yellow or sometimes a little orange.
02:50It's like strands of pancit.
02:54It's not dirt, but thousands of donzol eggs.
02:58It's eaten in different places.
03:00But according to an expert, it was cleaned thoroughly.
03:04Just like in Puguita, donzol is also released in ink,
03:09which can be harmful to humans when eaten.
03:11Usually, it's in vinegar or it's put in ink.
03:14It's like ink.
03:15But I would refrain people from eating sea hares.
03:21Because of the large number of eggs in one Lokot,
03:23many of them do not live and become donzol.
03:27Meanwhile, Lokot is already a part of Rodney's family.
03:31He has three children who are trying to study with the help of the sea.
03:36I have a son who is studying in a college.
03:38My income is really not enough.
03:40They don't catch fish every day.
03:43That's why eating Lokot is a big help to their family.
03:47There are times when you can't catch fish.
03:50When I come to Pangpang, I look for Lokot
03:53so that I can bring it home to my family, even just for a meal.
03:58In fact, they learn different dishes of Lokot
04:02because they often eat it at the table.
04:04Their favorite dish is Gisado, Sinabawan, and Kinilaw na Lokot.
04:10And since Rodney has already caught a lot of fish,
04:13he will eat three Lokot recipes.
04:16It's like he's prepared.
04:18When cooking Tinolang Isda,
04:20they just mix Lokot like this.
04:24There, our fish is cooked.
04:26The next thing I will put here is our Lokot.
04:34This can also be made with vinegar.
04:40When cooking Gisado ng Lokot,
04:42they just mix it with garlic, onion, bell pepper, long pepper, and other flavors.
04:50There, our onion and garlic are already cooked.
04:55The next thing we will put is this Lokot.
05:01Mmm, this is okay.
05:04The Lokot dishes can now be partied with.
05:10It's like Tinolang Manok with a mixture of sotanghon.
05:16It's delicious.
05:17And Salusalo in the province will not be complete
05:20because of the pandemic.
05:22So, we have to make it again.
05:25It's delicious.
05:26And Salusalo in the province will not be complete
05:29Madam Rose, I would like to give you some food.
05:33if the neighbors will not taste it.
05:40Wow, it's delicious.
05:41The taste of Lokot.
05:43Wow.
05:44Try it.
05:48Wow.
05:49Very good.
05:50Whatever it is, as long as it has Lokot,
05:52it's the most delicious and the best.
05:55As they say, the sea is wide.
05:58That's why we are also eager for its blessings.
06:01Maybe you don't know,
06:03what you are going through in Pampang,
06:06you can already benefit from it.
06:09This is okay.
