00:00They say that the Filipino Salon Salon is not complete if there is no Pancit on the table.

00:06But what about this Tila Pancit? Have you tried it yet?

00:11Do you believe that these are not really Pancit, but a type of sea fish that is just caught in the sea?

00:21We met the fisherman Rudney from Oriental Laway, Bohol.

00:26They say that their life here is simple.

00:28Their daily life is also caught in the sea.

00:32The life that I grew up with was not easy because I was the stepfather of my siblings

00:40and I was helping my mother for our family.

00:44I started fishing when I was in grade 2 or grade 3.

00:48Sometimes, I was absent because I was drinking.

00:50I really wanted to help my mother so that we can have food to eat.

00:53Aside from the usual catch, their target is also the rich sea,

00:57which is called Lokot or Pancit Pancitan in other places.

01:01Rudney was just a kid when he got used to eating this.

01:05In the morning, when the low tide is high, my cousins go to coastal areas to catch Lokot.

01:13I also want to learn how to catch it and I also learned how to fish.

01:18This is popular in their area, especially when the tide is low.

01:22They just pick it from the rocks and grass in the sea.

01:26This is so delicious.

01:29It has a sweet and salty taste similar to seaweed.

01:35When we catch a lot of Lokot, we go to faraway places.

01:40We exchange our Lokot for banana, ube, gabe, or kamuteng kahoy.

01:46Because the fishermen also like Lokot.

01:50That's why they don't just eat Lokot on the table,

01:54they also earn from it or give it to their neighbors.

01:59When I come home from the sea, especially when the tide is high,

02:02I give it to our neighbors, especially the elderly.

02:06They really like it because it's sweet.

02:08These snails are from a type of sea slug called donzol or sea hare in English,

02:16which is the offspring of sea snail and octopus.

02:19Most of the time, Lokot's color is green because donzol's favorite food is sea grass and worms in the water.

02:26But what is the Lokot that they release into the body?

02:30According to the story of the elders, this is a donzol snail.

02:35When I researched it, I found out that Lokot is a donzol egg.

02:39Sea hares usually lay eggs in the rocks.

02:43They also lay seaweeds.

02:45But that's what people collect.

02:48It's yellow or sometimes a little orange.

02:50It's like strands of pancit.

02:54It's not dirt, but thousands of donzol eggs.

02:58It's eaten in different places.

03:00But according to an expert, it was cleaned thoroughly.

03:04Just like in Puguita, donzol is also released in ink,

03:09which can be harmful to humans when eaten.

03:11Usually, it's in vinegar or it's put in ink.

03:14It's like ink.

03:15But I would refrain people from eating sea hares.

03:21Because of the large number of eggs in one Lokot,

03:23many of them do not live and become donzol.

03:27Meanwhile, Lokot is already a part of Rodney's family.

03:31He has three children who are trying to study with the help of the sea.

03:36I have a son who is studying in a college.

03:38My income is really not enough.

03:40They don't catch fish every day.

03:43That's why eating Lokot is a big help to their family.

03:47There are times when you can't catch fish.

03:50When I come to Pangpang, I look for Lokot

03:53so that I can bring it home to my family, even just for a meal.

03:58In fact, they learn different dishes of Lokot

04:02because they often eat it at the table.

04:04Their favorite dish is Gisado, Sinabawan, and Kinilaw na Lokot.

04:10And since Rodney has already caught a lot of fish,

04:13he will eat three Lokot recipes.

04:16It's like he's prepared.

04:18When cooking Tinolang Isda,

04:20they just mix Lokot like this.

04:24There, our fish is cooked.

04:26The next thing I will put here is our Lokot.

04:34This can also be made with vinegar.

04:40When cooking Gisado ng Lokot,

04:42they just mix it with garlic, onion, bell pepper, long pepper, and other flavors.

04:50There, our onion and garlic are already cooked.

04:55The next thing we will put is this Lokot.

05:01Mmm, this is okay.

05:04The Lokot dishes can now be partied with.

05:10It's like Tinolang Manok with a mixture of sotanghon.

05:16It's delicious.

05:17And Salusalo in the province will not be complete

05:20because of the pandemic.

05:22So, we have to make it again.

05:25It's delicious.

05:26And Salusalo in the province will not be complete

05:29Madam Rose, I would like to give you some food.

05:33if the neighbors will not taste it.

05:40Wow, it's delicious.

05:41The taste of Lokot.

05:43Wow.

05:44Try it.

05:48Wow.

05:49Very good.

05:50Whatever it is, as long as it has Lokot,

05:52it's the most delicious and the best.

05:55As they say, the sea is wide.

05:58That's why we are also eager for its blessings.

06:01Maybe you don't know,

06:03what you are going through in Pampang,

06:06you can already benefit from it.

06:09This is okay.
