00:00 JR, let's go to Bukidnon where the janitor fish is a hit as a dish.

00:06 Janitor fish?

00:07 Aren't fish hunters fighting over the river?

00:11 Let's find out from a catch and cook vlogger.

00:16 In the town of Maramag, Bukidnon,

00:24 a vlogger who loves fishing is a favorite.

00:29 Not here, not there, and not even in Tilapia, if not…

00:33 Janitor fish.

00:37 A youngster tried the fish of the armored sucker mouth catfish or janitor fish.

00:45 Now he's a family man, it's still one of his family's favorite dishes.

00:52 In fact, when he launched his catch and cook vlog,

00:58 his first content was the catch and cook of janitor fish.

01:03 In our fishing, we always catch janitor fish.

01:07 That's why we thought of trying to cook it for us,

01:13 so that we can eat it as a normal meal.

01:16 The taste of janitor fish is like a fish with a white flesh.

01:24 It's tasty, it's flavorful, especially when it's raw.

01:29 We've been eating janitor fish for 5 years.

01:34 Since then, we haven't felt anything different in our bodies.

01:40 The cleanliness of janitor fish is in the place where it was caught.

01:45 But what if janitor fish is Bukidnon's favorite dish?

01:49 It's not allowed in other places like Metro Manila.

01:54 It's a predatory or invasive species.

01:57 It can be eaten depending on where it lives.

02:01 Because of this, it's a food for fish feeders.

02:05 And if it's found under water, it eats janitor fish and is dangerous to human health.

02:16 See the flesh? It's so fat.

02:19 It's hard to stop something that we've been used to for a long time.

02:24 If it's not prohibited,

02:26 our countrymen should expand their knowledge about the dangers of this kind of creature in our environment.
