00:00In Pangasinan, you can find some of the biggest salt farms in the country.

00:06That's why it's called Pangasinan, because it's a salt farm.

00:11It means this is where the salt comes from.

00:13And here in Western Pangasinan, we have a lot of salt farms

00:17where the salt is fine and white.

00:22I'm here now in Bolinao, Pangasinan,

00:24where you can find the biggest salt farm in the Philippines.

00:30This salt farm, which has an area of 500 hectares,

00:34can produce 30 million kilos of salt per year.

00:39But how is salt made?

00:46What they do is they first put salt water, the salt bed.

00:51They wait for one day.

00:53After one day, this is what the salt bed will look like.

00:57As you can see, there are some that are already salting.

01:03To get that, we need to scrape it.

01:06With a scraper.

01:09It's like you're just leaving.

01:13How do you do this?

01:14Do you do it by hand?

01:17We don't do it by hand.

01:21We do it by hand for our customers.

01:25For whom?

01:26For newcomers.

01:29It removes impurities.

01:33The salted salt is transferred to large baskets.

01:38Actually, it's not heavy,

01:40but imagine if you do this all day,

01:43it will hurt your back.

01:45There's a lot of waste.

01:47Is this okay?

01:49Yes, it's okay, ma'am.

01:50Is this okay?

01:51Yes.

01:52So we'll carry this.

01:53We have a cableway carrier.

01:55How much salt do you harvest in one day?

01:5811 kilos per basket.

02:0011 kilos per basket.

02:02And in one day, you do 700.

02:05In one area only.

02:06In one area only?

02:07Yes.

02:08Because there's a commercial area here.

02:12Whoa!

02:13It's heavy.

02:16It's heavy, sir.

02:19One of their specialties is the salted chicken.

02:24So this is really cooked in salt.

02:27It's not salty.

02:28No, that's how it is.

02:29Okay, let's taste it.

02:30What we do is we do brining.

02:34After the brining,

02:35before we cook the ingredients,

02:37it has a tanglad.

02:39It has a tanglad?

02:40Yes, it does.

02:41The taste is different.

02:44I expected it to be very salty,

02:46but it's not.

02:47The salt is just right

02:50that mixes with the lemony taste of the tanglad.

02:55And it's soft for a native chicken.

02:59So it really needs to be slow-cooked

03:01as long as it's a chicken.

03:03It's delicious.

03:04The salt particles should not be removed

03:08because it has a big role in making our dishes delicious.

03:12It also gives life to many of our countrymen.
