00:00Are you looking for a unique food trip?

00:05What if you're used to Pika-Pika?

00:09It's made from the flowers of Bougambilya.

00:17Bougambilya, Glabra or Bougabilya tree,

00:21is commonly seen in Bakurans.

00:23Because of its beauty and color,

00:25it's called the Cherry Blossom of the Philippines.

00:31But do you know, Macawander,

00:33that the colorful petals that we see

00:36are not the flowers of Bougambilya?

00:39What you see in Bougambilya,

00:42the colorful part of it,

00:44with different colors,

00:45is called bracts.

00:47So it's not the real flower.

00:49It's the one at the bottom,

00:50that's leaf-like,

00:52that looks like petals,

00:54but it's not.

00:55The real flower of Bougambilya

00:57is the small one that you see inside,

00:59at the tip of the flower,

01:01that's not very attractive.

01:03That's where the pollinators come from.

01:10One of the people who loves to plant this,

01:12our Macawander, is Josie.

01:14She started planting Bougambilya in 2020.

01:19Because my mother loves plants,

01:22when I was young, I didn't plant them yet.

01:25But when I turned 40,

01:28I realized that it's good to plant a lot of Bougis.

01:31That's why they say that I'm like my mother.

01:38From one plant to another,

01:40at present,

01:41she has more than 700 Bougambilyas in her garden.

01:47There are white, yellow, orange,

01:50violet, and of course, pink.

01:54But you know, Macawander,

01:56when it comes to planting Bougambilya,

01:58it's not just a simple garden for Josie.

02:00This is where she became a soldier

02:02in the middle of the trial.

02:06I joined a networking company.

02:09We invested a lot

02:12to provide education to my children.

02:15I was depressed until the flowers

02:19gave me happiness.

02:22I gradually forgot the pain and sadness

02:26of not being able to provide education to my children.

02:33Josie also posted her Bougambilya journey

02:36on social media.

02:39From planting,

02:42selling,

02:46to eating Bougambilya.

02:48One of her discoveries is Bougambilya.

02:52Can it be a snack and chips?

03:00In making Bougambilya chips,

03:02just mix cornstarch and egg

03:06that will be the coating for our Bougambilya.

03:18And fry until golden brown.

03:28Macawander, let's eat our Bougambilya chips!

03:33Does Bougambilya taste good?

03:39It's good. It tastes like chips.

03:43It's good and crunchy.

03:45It tastes like potato chips.

03:51It's okay. It's good.

03:53The taste is just right. It's not salty.

03:56It's like pork chitsarong.

04:01But wait, Bougambilya

04:04is not just a snack, it's also a dish.

04:09So Josie, teach us

04:12how to make a Bougambilya dish.

04:18Hello, Macawander.

04:20Today, I will teach you how to make

04:23a delicious Bougambilya dish.

04:29To make the dish,

04:31first, we will add the carrots and potatoes.

04:34We still need to add the favorite ingredients,

04:37because this is already cooked.

04:41When it's boiling,

04:42we will add the eggplants,

04:44bitter gourd,

04:45sardines,

04:46and alucon.

04:49We will add all the ingredients,

04:51and the last one, we will cook it.

04:54And we will also add the Bougambilya chips.

05:03Bougambilya

05:10Macawander, the apple is cooked,

05:12so let's add the Bougambilya.

05:23It's good.

05:24It smells good.

05:26Bougambilya.

05:27I'm eating it now.

05:30I just ate it, but it's good.

05:33It's good.

05:34Their dish is really good.

05:38It's good.

05:39Yes, the one on the tree,

05:41it can be mixed.

05:42It's good.

05:44It's really good.

05:47But I wonder,

05:48is Bougambilya safe to eat?

05:52Generally, Bougambilya is not a toxin,

05:55so it can be consumed

05:57as long as it is properly prepared.

06:03So, Macawander,

06:04take a look around,

06:06and try to eat it,

06:07because who knows,

06:08just like Bougambilya,

06:11the simple thing that we think

06:13is good for our health,

06:18can be used as an advantage.
