02:15 that this will happen.

02:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

02:21 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

02:24 But we managed it.

02:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

06:12 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

06:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

06:18 [FART]

06:19 That's a good sign.

06:21 This is a worthy adventure.

06:24 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

06:27 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

06:30 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

06:32 Reserve parking for motorcycles only.

06:34 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

06:36 It's a good start.

06:57 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

06:59 [FART]

07:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]

07:01 How long will it take before we reach Fecong Bula Falls?

07:05 How many cans of milk?

07:09 How much ice?

07:10 And where will the ingredients be stored?

07:13 That's what's put into the giant halohalo that is now being sold to more than 1,000 people at the Halohalo Festival in Esperanza, Sultan Kudrat.

07:22 If it's already packed at the regular-sized halohalo.

07:25 Do you want to go home?

07:27 It's already packed?

07:28 Help me!

07:29 I really can't.

07:30 I'm hungry.

07:31 Go inside, madam.

07:32 You'll be sorry.

07:33 Go inside!

07:34 You might not be able to handle it if it's packed.

07:37 The people here in Esperanza, the blood type is O.

07:47 A.

07:48 How come their halohalo is getting out of stock?

07:53 In the town of Esperanza, the reward is halohalo, the pastime is halohalo.

07:59 We saw how the halohalo industry flourished in our town.

08:05 We want to highlight this and this is what we call the Halohalo Festival.

08:11 In the 1970s, halohalo stalls appeared in their market.

08:17 One of the first to sell halohalo was 75-year-old Nanay Inday.

08:23 She was the only one who was able to assure them of a halohalo queen

08:26 because she's been selling halohalo for 37 years.

08:28 And like her stall, she's also a very busy person.

08:33 I was able to build a house, a concrete house, because of the salary.

08:38 I was able to finish my nursing degree because of the salary.

08:42 I was able to buy a small minivan so that I can serve my family.

08:49 Aside from Nanay Inday, there are 23 other halohalo stalls in Esperanza Public Market.

08:54 Do you also want your own giant halohalo?

08:57 Just buy it by request. Just bring your own container.

09:17 Like the ones we just finished this morning, the next halohalo ingredients are also mixed.

09:21 The favorite of the Ilonggos of KBL, Okatios, Baboy, and Langka,

09:26 also have a version of the Sultan Kudrat.

09:28 But their version, instead of Langka, they put banana peel.

09:33 To remove the bitter taste of the banana peel, it goes through a smoothing process.

09:39 The peeled banana peel is sifted by salt and squeezed to remove the liquid and make sure it's not bitter.

09:47 That's the perfect combo of Okatios, Chicken, and Ubad.

09:51 We can also cook the banana peel with mung bean ingredients.

09:56 But for us, the Ilonggos, we prefer that the Okatios will be the ingredient.

10:01 This is their version of KBL.

10:05 They use banana peel.

10:15 Gingery.

10:17 I like it.

10:19 Yummy.

10:20 This is delicious.

10:23 Very gingery.

10:25 Actually, it's more flavorful than the Tinola.

10:30 It's really good.

10:32 Yum.

10:34 So good.

10:35 But it's not just the banana peel that they use in their Sultan Kudrat.

10:40 What is the other type of banana peel?

10:42 I think they use yellow ginger.

10:46 Because usually, it's like this.

10:50 Let's see.

10:52 This is also our Ubad.

10:54 Right?

10:55 Okay.

10:56 I don't know what type of Ubad this is.

10:59 But it's probably the Ubad of...

11:01 Ubad of bitter.

11:08 I guess it's the chicken.

11:12 Chicken.

11:13 Yes, chicken.

11:14 It's really bitter.

11:18 It's bitter.

11:19 The banana peel is also bitter.

11:21 I'm not saying that it tastes like banana peel.

11:24 But it's bitter.

11:25 So this is the Ubad that I tasted.

11:28 It's bitter.

11:29 Generally speaking, I didn't appreciate the taste of bitterness.

11:34 If you combine it with all the ingredients of that dish,

11:40 it's okay.

11:41 Ubad of palm tree.

11:43 No.

11:45 Ratan.

11:46 Ratan.

11:47 It really has...

11:48 bitterness.

11:51 Just like banana, ratan also has Ubad.

11:57 This is the chicken that was minced in the Ubad of ratan.

12:04 We use the minced chicken

12:08 in every important occasion.

12:11 Like when there's a wedding or a funeral.

12:15 In Christian, the cake that you feed your spouse,

12:20 we use the minced chicken.

12:22 We were requested to use it, especially when we have royal blood guests

12:27 because they really wanted to eat it.

12:30 We tried the food of Sultan Kudrat.

12:33 But do you know who Sultan Kudrat is?

12:36 Let's ask the locals.

12:38 I don't know.

12:39 I don't know who Sultan Kudrat is.

12:42 I don't know.

12:43 I don't know him.

12:45 He's from the city.

12:49 He's a hero.

12:51 Sultan Kudrat is a very brave man.

12:54 I don't know.

12:56 The Muslims who were led by Sultan Kudrat,

13:00 they were led by Sultan Kudrat.

13:05 Why was the province named after him?

13:08 Because he's one of the...

13:14 Maybe because...

13:18 The people who lived here were led by Sultan Kudrat.

13:23 He's our hero.

13:25 That's why the province was named after him.

13:27 He's a Muslim, right?

13:32 That's why he's called Sultan Kudrat.

13:34 Okay, bye.

13:35 Bye.

13:36 Sultan Kudrat is a hero of the empire of Cotabato.

13:43 His name is Sultan Muhammad I Patual Kudrat.

13:47 At the age of 39 years old,

13:49 he was appointed as the Sultan of Sultanate Maguindanao.

13:53 And for 52 years,

13:55 Sultan Kudrat was the leader of the now known

13:59 Lanao del Norte, Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao, Cotabato, South Cotabato,

14:04 Sultan Kudrat, Sarangani, Zamboanga-Cibugay, and Zamboanga del Sur.

14:09 During the Spanish rule,

14:11 Sultan Kudrat made a huge effort to protect

14:14 and not to give up a large part of Maguindanao.

14:17 He died more than 300 years ago.

14:20 In 1973, he was appointed as the Sultan of Maguindanao.

14:27 All of you who are watching,

14:28 we will do something fun and exciting.

14:30 That is the goal of the municipality of Bagong Bayan

14:32 to show that their place has potential.

14:35 In their desire to still enjoy the local culture

14:43 during the pandemic,

14:44 they made this pandemic project.

14:46 This place where we are now,

14:47 which is 400 meters above sea level,

14:49 they call it Bansada.

14:51 In English,

14:52 in full view.

14:53 Because you can see the mountains.

14:56 This place is so beautiful.

14:58 It's cold, it's windy,

15:00 it's very beautiful.

15:02 Cable car in this beautiful view?

15:05 Let's go!

15:06 It's so good in this beautiful view.

15:11 But we will do it together

15:15 during the Maguindanaon festival

15:17 which is so beautiful.

15:19 It's the Maguindanaon delicacy

15:22 that is offered to the child before eating.

15:24 Dudol is a Maguindanaon delicacy

15:26 that is prepared on occasions

15:28 like Akika or Binyag.

15:31 Dudol is offered to the child

15:33 in the belief that the child's life will be fruitful in growing up.

15:36 It's like a sticky,

15:38 to make the life of a Maguindanaon longer or strengthened.

15:43 Dudol,

15:44 I saw the ingredients,

15:46 I said,

15:47 it's like the ingredients of the squid we know.

15:51 Dudol is so delicious.

15:53 It sticks to the tongue,

15:55 but it doesn't get old.

15:57 It's a good thing that we have it.

15:59 It's a good thing that we have it.

16:01 It's a good thing that we have it.

17:05 It's a good thing that we have it.

17:07 It's a good thing that we have it.

17:09 It's a good thing that we have it.

17:11 It's a good thing that we have it.

17:13 It's a good thing that we have it.

17:15 Actually, I only see this on Facebook

17:17 that people who come here post.

17:19 I know the tourist spot here

17:21 but it's far and no one invites us to come here.

17:25 Would they like Pangandilan Falls?

17:29 There are many places where you can go snorkeling

17:37 and because of the high rock formation of the falls,

17:40 you can dive.

17:43 [Music]

17:45 There's Celso and Alberto diving.

17:52 [Music]

17:54 [Music]

18:01 You can do it!

18:11 Woo!

18:13 Why is Alberto?

18:15 Because you're trying.

18:17 I'm scared.

18:19 I don't want to.

18:21 I'm really scared.

18:23 Of course, it's still fun even if you don't dive.

18:25 But...

18:27 We went through many rivers,

18:29 rocky roads,

18:31 and we didn't expect that

18:33 behind the rocky road,

18:35 there's a faraway place

18:37 and there are hills.

18:39 There's a beautiful place like this.

18:41 If I get a chance to come back,

18:43 I'll make sure to bring a lot of friends.

18:46 Can we still reach Fecumbula Falls?

18:49 It's less than 1, 2, 5 minutes.

18:57 [Music]

19:07 It's just a 10-minute drive from the parking lot

19:09 to Fecumbula Falls.

19:11 [Music]

19:13 It's not raining that much

19:21 so the water is weak.

19:23 The best time or the best time of the year

19:27 to come here is apparently during summer,

19:30 June, July.

19:32 If you come here in June, July,

19:34 the water is higher,

19:36 the water is clearer,

19:38 and there are more spots where you can swim.

19:40 It's like a twin falls.

19:42 Maybe Fecumbula Falls is more

19:46 colorful in June and July.

19:48 When I found out that I'll be coming back to Mindanao,

20:02 I was so happy because

20:04 the feature of Mindanao is that the vibe is different.

20:06 I just super generally love Mindanao.

20:10 To tell you honestly,

20:17 I had zero expectations

20:19 of what Sultan Kudarat is offering.

20:23 The short span of our feature here,

20:27 it's a combination of you finding peace and tranquility

20:32 because of the mountains, because of the farmlands,

20:35 but at the same time, it's mixed with adventure.

20:38 It's a destination for all ages.

20:41 It can be greatly appreciated by everyone as well.

20:45 We've been expecting a lot of experiences

20:47 in Sultan Kudarat, my dear viewers.

20:49 This is our first trip to Sultan Kudarat,

20:52 but I'm sure this is not our last time here.

20:56 (upbeat music)
