00:00 Don't be surprised if you go to Mindanao and see colorful things hanging in the shops.
00:05 The decoration you see is one of the biggest versions of calamay.
00:10 Calamay?
00:11 Yes.
00:12 And the labor of love is also done because it takes hours to count.
00:15 It's hard to mix it.
00:17 And it's definitely worth the wait for the delicious.
00:19 Raise the Filipino flag.
00:21 That's my story, "Dapat Alamo!"
00:27 This is not a flag, but when you pass by Lanao del Norte in Mindanao,
00:31 you will notice the colorful things hanging in the shops along the road.
00:36 No matter what occasion, this will not be missing in the food of the Maranaos.
00:40 The Dodol!
00:41 The town of Baluy is known for making Dodol in Lanao del Norte.
00:48 This is the version of Maranao with a very sticky and sweet calamay.
00:51 Almost everyone in their area knows how to make Dodol, according to Rhyma Batara.
00:56 I started making Dodol when I was 15 years old.
01:01 I thought of making this business so that I can help my husband in his business and also earn money.
01:10 There are only three ingredients in making Dodol.
01:13 Milk, sugar, and tapong, or black and sticky rice mixed.
01:18 After that, we add coconut milk and coconut milk.
01:23 We put it in a big pan and add sugar.
01:29 Then we add the ground rice.
01:32 Because of their location in Durian, they also mix it in making Dodol every year.
01:37 This gives extra sweetness to their rice.
01:41 After mixing for three hours, they will put it in the dried leaves of the plantain.
01:45 We sell our Dodol here in the side of the road, in front of our house.
01:52 If there is an order, we bring it to Marawi and Manila.
01:58 The big one is 200 pesos, the small one is 100 pesos, and the 50 pesos, there is 25 pesos too.
02:06 You should know that Dodol is one of the popular foods that is eaten during Iftar or during Ramadan.
02:12 The origin of it is, we cannot say, originally from Danau, especially in Mananao.
02:18 Because it's a popular delicacy in Malay and Indonesian countries.
02:27 It's typical of Malay cuisine.
02:31 It's more of agricultural because we are abundant in coconut milk,
02:38 coconut, sugar, and rice.
02:43 It's an antidote, so if you have food that is spicy, it's good as a counter to the spices.
02:50 Because of the long cooking time, Dodol can last for 15 days.
02:55 I sell it because it's for other expenses, so I can help my parents and my husband in business.
03:05 The colorful Dodol is like a decoration in a store, but it's not just a decoration or a store.
03:12 Because it's a reflection of the rich culture of Maranao and Muslim in Mindanao.
