00:00 As our way of saying goodbye to 2023,
00:02 let's say hello to another new adventure.
00:05 Two of the very active Sparkle artists
00:08 will be joining us for the Outdoor Challenge.
00:10 It's performer-vlogger Mika Salamanca
00:14 versus actress Jake Texon
00:16 in our first ever amazing canoe race.
00:19 This is Kayak Kuyan.
00:22 Hello, Kuyan Don!
00:25 I'm used to dramas, but today, I'm going to do an action scene.
00:29 Sorry, I left my microphone because I changed it.
00:34 Hi, Mika. Hi, Jake.
00:37 Hello, Ku.
00:38 This is how you handle or hold a paddle of kayak.
00:42 First of all, get the center.
00:44 Balancing it on your head.
00:46 Then, hold it like this.
00:48 Then, form a 90-degree angle.
00:50 It's like a box.
00:52 Then, when you paddle,
00:53 don't bend forward.
00:55 There.
00:56 So, slowly,
00:58 it rotates.
00:59 Our challengers are used to it.
01:02 And when we come back, they'll be ready for the race.
01:05 Go!
01:06 Mika and Jade are just warming up.
01:12 The lap will start later.
01:13 Welcome to the first ever Amazing Earth Kayak Race.
01:16 Their goal is to reach the flag first.
01:20 Are you ready?
01:24 Ready!
01:25 Get set.
01:26 Go!
01:27 [whistle blows]
01:28 They're racing here in Tallac.
01:45 I'll just kiss you when you fall.
01:48 I hope you don't fall.
01:49 [screams]
01:50 [laughs]
01:52 I thought I was going to fall.
01:55 In an area of 244 square kilometers,
01:58 this is the third largest lake in the country.
02:01 It's inside the Taal Volcano.
02:04 There.
02:06 They're in the middle.
02:08 Mika is leading.
02:11 Eyes on the side, guys.
02:14 50 meters to go.
02:18 [screams]
02:21 I'm going to fall!
02:24 Is it possible for Mika to catch up?
02:27 10 meters to go.
02:29 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
02:34 There.
02:35 They're ahead.
02:36 Yeah!
02:41 My back really hurts.
02:45 And my core muscles are really working.
02:47 But I really thought about winning.
02:50 And after this,
02:52 you'll be able to do it.
02:54 You're a strong, independent woman.
02:56 Like that.
02:57 [screams]
02:59 I was so happy when I reached the finish line.
03:02 It was the first time we were able to do it.
03:04 Even though I lost, I still enjoyed it.
03:09 Congratulations to our winner, Mika Salamang.
03:13 A beautiful race in a beautiful country.
