00:00 It's so good to have a food trip, Pat.

00:01 Especially when you're trying new flavors.

00:03 Oh, wait a minute, Kim and Pat.

00:05 It's okay to try new things once in a while.

00:08 Because you never know, it might be a part of your taste buds.

00:11 You might discover something new.

00:13 That's my story.

00:16 Let's go!

00:17 What's cooking?

00:22 Is that lechon?

00:23 Barbecue?

00:24 Hugas burger patty,

00:26 but it's not pork or beef.

00:28 It's grilled fish.

00:30 That's what the people of San Vicente, Sula and Eastern Samar call "podpod."

00:36 They say that food with podpod is very lucky.

00:41 It's perfect to be mixed with ginataang gulay.

00:43 We don't need to use other condiments.

00:54 Podpod is enough to add flavor.

00:56 Podpod is round shaped because it's shaped like money.

01:00 You can also cook it or fry it

01:03 and dip it in vinegar with garlic.

01:06 Mmm, it's delicious!

01:08 The island of San Vicente is a well-known fishing community.

01:13 It's also the original production of podpod in the province.

01:16 Podpod was invented because in the past,

01:19 when fishermen caught a lot of fish,

01:22 this was a way to not waste their catch.

01:29 You should know that podpod can last up to a month before it's destroyed.

01:34 According to the Eastern Samar Tourism Office,

01:37 out of 1,500 residents,

01:40 only 15 families are continuing making the traditional podpod as their business.

01:47 One of the people who makes podpod on the island is Emma.

01:50 We've been making podpod for 10 years

01:52 and I learned it from my ancestors.

01:56 She buys fish from her neighbors to make podpod.

01:59 The fish that we use for podpod are

02:03 dorado, yellowfin, blue marlin,

02:07 baliling, and woodless.

02:10 The fish is cleaned and boiled for at least an hour.

02:15 The fish is removed from the scales,

02:16 chopped into small pieces, and then boiled.

02:18 The ingredients for podpod are

02:22 salt, pepper, calamansi, and vinegar.

02:28 And she will mix it.

02:29 She will give it a round shape,

02:30 similar to a burger patty.

02:33 It's called podpod because

02:35 we make it by boiling it,

02:39 then we podpod it.

02:41 Podpod is soaked for an hour to cook.

02:45 That's why we soak it or boil it.

02:50 We let it cook because it makes the podpod more delicious.

02:56 The price of 5 thin pieces of podpod is P150.

03:00 It's P300 if it's thick.

03:03 Podpod is important to me because

03:06 I get my daily expenses from it.

03:11 I teach my children about it.

03:14 I get all my needs from it.

03:18 The local government helps the podpod makers

03:22 to continue this industry.

03:25 The local chief executive organized a group

03:28 through DTI, Peso, and Dolly

03:31 for the packaging of podpod.

03:34 Not only is the Philippines rich in food,

03:39 but also in food.

03:41 With the right care and support,

03:43 traditional foods like podpod

03:46 will be continued and tasted by the next generation.
