05:21 [MUSIC PLAYING]
05:25 [MUSIC PLAYING]
05:37 We are back on the bus.
05:39 And off to the city we go.
05:42 From Petra, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:45 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:48 [MUSIC PLAYING]
05:52 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
05:56 [MUSIC PLAYING]

06:09 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:16 [MUSIC PLAYING]
06:23 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:31 I want to see more than mountains and deserts.
06:33 [MUSIC PLAYING]
06:41 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
06:52 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:04 So the Greek Orthodox community here in Madaba City,
07:08 they still use this church.
07:10 It's the building that they built
07:13 on top of the ruins of the ancient floor
07:18 from the 6th century AD.
07:19 Now, the importance of this floor
07:21 is that it's a mosaic artwork that represents
07:25 a map of the Holy Land, a map that
07:27 dates to the 6th century AD, about the middle
07:30 of the 6th century AD, which makes it the oldest
07:33 to represent the Holy Land still existing in the whole world.
07:37 It is the oldest.
07:39 And a very important representation
07:41 of Jerusalem inside.
07:44 It's like a bird's eye view of the city of Jerusalem.
07:46 Shows how the city, the holy city of Jerusalem,
07:49 looked like in the middle of the 6th century AD.
07:52 [MUSIC PLAYING]
07:56 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
07:58 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
08:21 This floor used to cover the whole width of the church.
08:24 So it used to be a full rectangle.
08:28 In it, mosaic stones were used, these beautiful colored
08:32 stones.
08:33 We think in the original one, maybe 2 million pieces
08:37 were used.
08:39 Unfortunately, we have some parts of it destroyed.
08:44 The existing parts, we think, it was like maybe 600,000
08:48 to 700,000 pieces.
08:50 This is the Dead Sea.
08:52 It's a map of the Holy Land, basically.
08:54 The Dead Sea, the Jordan River, you can see it here.
08:58 And this is the famous representation
09:00 of the city of Jerusalem.
09:01 The old city.
09:02 [MUSIC PLAYING]
09:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:16 Let me tell you about their mosaic art.
09:19 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:45 These are some of the mountains of Moab
09:49 and the city of Karak in Jordan.
09:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
09:56 [MUSIC PLAYING]
10:01 OK.
10:01 [MUSIC PLAYING]
10:13 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:40 [MUSIC PLAYING]
10:49 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
10:55 This part here talks about some of the religious famous
10:58 stories.
10:59 Like here, we have a model of the Babylon Tower.
11:01 [MUSIC PLAYING]
11:13 The Ark of Noah.
11:15 So they tried to tell the story, which includes religion,
11:20 of course, and famous religion accounts here
11:22 in the human history.
11:23 [MUSIC PLAYING]
11:29 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
11:35 [MUSIC PLAYING]
11:38 [LAUGHTER]
11:39 [MUSIC PLAYING]
11:41 So lots of the biblical sceneries.
11:43 This is the beheading of John the Baptist.
11:45 [MUSIC PLAYING]
11:50 Here's a nice setting of how they
11:52 assume the last supper would be.
11:54 [MUSIC PLAYING]
11:57 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:00 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:06 This is a replica of one of the famous discoveries in Jordan.
12:10 It's called the Misha Stone.
12:12 It's an inscription that dates about the middle
12:15 of the 9th century AD--
12:17 BC, sorry.
12:18 And it's the King of Moab.
12:20 He wrote this inscription talking
12:23 about his accomplishments.
12:25 And it was discovered in Jordan.
12:27 The original of it is now in the Louvre Museum.
12:30 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:36 Well-rooted among Jordanians in their ancient stories,
12:39 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:41 This is a model of one of the facades of Petra here.
12:44 Right.
12:45 [MUSIC PLAYING]
12:47 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
12:53 Important part of the Jordan culture
12:58 and different parts of the country
13:00 in the south and the northeast with the Bedouin life.
13:04 This is a setting of how the Bedouin tent would look like.
13:07 Bedouins are the nomads living in the desert.
13:10 They live in big tribal communities.
13:12 And they are very well known of their generosity
13:15 and their very strong tribal relations and ties.
13:21 So this shows you how the life of a Bedouin in a Bedouin tent
13:27 would be.
13:28 It's a section of the ladies doing the daily work.
13:32 And there's the men's section over there.
13:35 Having fun.
13:36 Playing the music with the famous Bedouin instrument
13:39 called Rababa.
13:40 Rababa.
13:40 It's an instrument with one string.
13:44 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:45 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
13:51 That's like--
13:52 A disrespect.
13:53 Oh, wow.
13:54 So you usually drink the coffee.
13:56 And whatever you want from them, they
13:59 will give you to make you drink their coffee.
14:02 It's like a welcome drink and a very important sign
14:05 of welcome to their house or to their tent.
14:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:10 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:12 Ooh, my taste buds can't wait.
14:33 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:34 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:37 A couple of days that we stayed here in the Middle East,
14:41 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:43 Apparently, neighboring countries,
14:53 then, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:54 type of cuisine.
14:56 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
14:57 Side dishes or appetizers.
14:59 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:00 To the point that [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:02 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:03 Anyway, cut the long story short.
15:21 It's very healthy.
15:22 It's very filling.
15:23 You have lots of choices.
15:26 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:28 Of course, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:30 It's either skewered barbecue meats or whatever.
15:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:39 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:40 Well, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:51 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:53 Type of alcoholic drink.
15:56 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
15:59 It's colored milk.
16:01 You think it's milk, but it's not for babies.
16:03 How it's presented and how it's mixed, it's so simple,
16:09 but it's weird.
16:11 Grapes, I'm sure, light colored grapes.
16:14 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:16 Star anise, right?
16:18 So [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:28 From the anise and the grape combination,
16:32 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:34 Yes, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:36 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:37 As you know, drink moderately, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:57 And then you drink [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
16:59 You drink not--
16:59 Like beer.
17:00 Like beer.
17:01 Like wine.
17:02 It's also good with food, yes?
17:04 With food.
17:05 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:07 Cheers.
17:08 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:12 I like it.
17:13 I like it a lot.
17:15 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:18 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:21 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:24 Minty or menthol aftertaste, but I guess it's refreshing.
17:29 And the aftertaste, it's sweet.
17:31 So guys, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:40 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:42 Have a few laughs.
17:43 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:47 Cheers.
17:48 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:49 [MUSIC PLAYING]
17:52 So usually, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
17:57 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:01 Of course, they serve kebab.
18:03 Beef kebab.
18:03 Beef kebab.
18:05 But this one is chicken.
18:07 Masawi.
18:07 Masawi.
18:08 And then they have a different type of--
18:10 Mushroom.
18:11 A mushroom.
18:12 Mushroom and garlic.
18:14 Mushroom and garlic.
18:15 Great combination.
18:17 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
18:19 Chicken inasal.

18:43 [LAUGHTER]
18:45 [MUSIC PLAYING]
18:52 After sampling all the best of Jordan's delicious treats,
18:55 we are back on the streets of Amman.
18:57 [MUSIC PLAYING]
19:01 And we are going downtown.
19:06 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:08 Amman is the capital of Jordan.
19:10 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:11 Session Road.
19:12 [MUSIC PLAYING]
19:14 It's busy.
19:16 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:20 When I say they're happy, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:25 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:26 For their loved ones.
19:28 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
19:30 Think Divisoria or Baklaran.
19:33 Similar vibe.
19:34 [MUSIC PLAYING]

21:53 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
21:54 you'll really learn something new.
21:55 Don't just listen to what you hear.
21:57 Put your earphones on. You'll catch up.
22:00 I learn by myself.
22:02 So what do you do? Do you just listen to her or to the books as well?
22:07 No, I just listen to the kids.
22:10 To what I see.
22:11 Wow.
22:12 A domestic helper here in Amman is Miss Helen.
22:15 Her story is, she came from Lebanon and Saudi Arabia before she came to Jordan.
22:20 I really just stayed here.
22:21 Where is your family?
22:22 In the Philippines.
22:23 Your husband is there?
22:24 Sorry, my husband passed away.
22:26 Your husband passed away. I'm sorry.
22:27 How many children do you have?
22:29 Just one.
22:30 Just one?
22:30 Yes.
22:31 Ah, where is your son?
22:33 At home.
22:34 Isn't it sad that you're not together?
22:38 Actually, there are times when you'll be sad, especially when you remember the time when...
22:45 Mostly, when it's Christmas, or when it's his birthday.
22:48 That's when you'll be sad, especially when you see your family together.
22:54 Then I think, how I wonder if I was with my family.
23:00 That's what's painful, because for how many years you've been away from your family.
23:07 So it's painful, especially when you see your children walking together.
23:12 It's really painful.
23:14 But there's no choice.
23:15 There's no choice.
23:16 You have to be strong-willed.
23:18 You've been here for a long time, so you're okay with living here?
23:22 Is your income okay?
23:23 Thank God.
23:23 Is your income okay?
23:24 It's okay.
23:25 Is your employer okay?
23:27 Thank God.
23:29 If my employer isn't good, I won't be able to stay with them for a long time.
23:33 If I'm not far from them, I'm okay.
23:36 Because sometimes, it's like, "Oh, it's been a month? Oh, Christmas is over? I'm going home!"
23:41 It's fast.
23:42 It's really fast.
23:43 Because, of course, we met Filipinos in Israel.
23:49 They said, their way of life is okay there.
23:54 Is it okay for other Filipinos to live here?
23:57 Actually, honestly speaking, no.
23:59 Because abroad, it's just luck.
24:03 Sometimes, it's like a gamble. Sometimes, you win. Sometimes, you lose.
24:06 It's just a try and try again.
24:08 Let's talk about your employer.
24:10 Yes.
24:11 We heard that your employer is famous.
24:13 Yes.
24:14 Who is he?
24:15 Osama Jow.
24:16 He's the director of the cinema. He makes movies.
24:20 He makes movies.
24:21 Actually, he has a shooting today.
24:23 He's going to appear in Ramadan.
24:25 Have you been with the...
24:27 That's what I've been dreaming of.
24:29 I can't do it.
24:31 I can see your humanism.
24:33 It's like you're an FBJ.
24:35 It's like you're doing this and that.
24:37 Helen accompanied me to meet other Filipinos here.
24:41 There are Filipinos here.
24:43 Later, they suddenly increased.
24:48 Nothing compares to Filipino camaraderie, right?
24:51 Hi.
24:53 Can I take a picture with you?
24:54 Yes.
24:55 Hi, Filipinos.
24:57 We're filming.
24:58 We're filming.
24:59 Can I take a picture with you?
25:00 It's another beautiful morning here in Jordan, my friends.
25:04 And we're going to check out one of the modern but still ancient landmarks of this country.
25:09 Is it noisy?
25:10 Okay, let me show you what I mean.
25:12 Is the sun okay here?
25:15 Very good.
25:16 Wow, beautiful here.
25:18 Yeah, it's our capital, Amman.
25:21 Very nice.
25:22 This is the old part of the city.
25:24 They call it the citadel here.
25:26 It's like the acropolis of ancient Amman.
25:28 And these new plates here, they show you how the name of the city developed.
25:33 Through the ages.
25:34 Before this city was called Amman,
25:37 it was first called Rabat Amon in the 13th century BC.
25:42 Rabat means capital or king's quarters.
25:46 And Amon is related to the Ammonites who lived here.
25:50 But when the Romans and Greeks conquered Jordan,
25:55 King Ptolemy II of Philadelphia named the city.
26:00 He called it Philadelphia or brotherly love in Greek.
26:04 And when the Muslims came in 630 CE,
26:09 they named the center of Jordan Amman.
26:12 Derived from Amon, the first name of the city.
26:15 During Jesus' time, this was called Philadelphia.
26:19 But we call it Philadelphia of the Decapolis.
26:22 The league of the ten cities that included Amman and other cities north from here.
26:27 And we know from the Bible that Jesus traveled to the Decapolis areas.
26:33 We know that many people from the Decapolis used to go to hear him and to follow him wherever he goes.
26:40 When you come here, you'll feel like you're time traveling in the beauty of the Roman structures here.
26:47 During the Roman periods, they built this temple here dedicated to Hercules.
26:57 Inside it, there used to be a statue of Hercules.
27:00 We believe it was like 10 meters high.
27:04 Let's just imagine that Hercules looked like this during the Roman periods.
27:09 Hercules is the strongest mythical god. He is the son of King Zeus.
27:16 Now I'm going to show you near the museum here,
27:25 what remained from that statue is two pieces only.
27:29 To show you how big Hercules' statue was, I'll go near the pillars.
27:36 Greece is beautiful. Athens is beautiful, guys.
27:38 Just kidding. I didn't expect that there are such beautiful ruins this side of Jordan.
27:43 I am just speechless, guys.
27:50 I didn't expect that after thousands of years, such ruins are still preserved.
27:55 Behind it is a piece of the elbow.
27:58 The big statue that once existed inside the temple of Hercules.
28:03 So you can just try to imagine if you put the pieces together, it's just gigantic.
28:08 Maybe the body is this big and the hand is really...
28:11 You think so?
28:13 That would be interesting.
28:19 There is also a place here in the citadel for Greek Orthodox Christians.
28:23 Where we are sitting, they used to worship here.
28:26 It's true that all the people who came and ruled Jordan are still alive in the traditions and beliefs left behind.
28:47 One proof of that is these stones are of different colors.
28:51 It's from the different tribes that were conquered in their country.
28:55 Next, one last view of the city of Amman.
29:04 It's beautiful.
29:11 Yeah.
29:14 Yeah.
29:15 Yeah.
29:16 One of the best views of all the map from here.
29:19 Are you with me on my trip?
29:22 Dear viewers,
29:26 Drew's trip received several reports about the members of our staff who are receiving the trip.
29:31 We want to let them know that our staff always have a valid document and ID.
29:38 And they are not asking for any payment from the places that are shown in our program.
29:44 If you have a nice report, just call the numbers that you see now or message us on our Facebook page.
29:52 Are you with me on my trip?
29:56 From the city of citadel...
30:06 You can see the real city now.
30:07 Yeah.
30:08 Nice.
30:09 That's the Roman theater.
30:11 Yes.
30:12 The modern is visible and the Jordanian is rising.
30:22 It's a beautiful view.
30:24 It's far from the view of Petra that I took last week.
30:32 You can see a view of the East Amman part which is the most populated area here in Jordan, in Amman city, in our capital.
30:40 And the downtown area down there.
30:42 So take a good look from the top over there.
30:45 But this is a very populated part.
30:47 You see the huge difference from where we came from.
30:50 It's a bit empty and not really a lot of people, not really a lot of houses.
30:56 And we reach Amman.
30:57 On the way to Amman, before you get to Amman, there are some areas especially when we're coming from the Jordan Valley.
31:05 Amman has the largest population in 10 cities of Jordan.
31:14 About 4 million people live here.
31:17 That's a big flag.
31:19 Yes. It's 126 meters high.
31:22 Wow.
31:24 The flag of Jordan.
31:26 Yeah, it's a landmark here in the city.
31:28 You look over there, you can see the complex of the royal palaces.
31:32 Landmarks here in the city.
31:35 And of course, has lots of our modern history was done there.
31:40 Our king lives outside the city now but it's a symbol for the city here.
31:46 Overlooking, if you're overlooking, for photographers and visitors like me,
31:51 Citadel is a perfect vantage point to see the 360-degree view of Amman.
31:56 The city is so beautiful in this part of the city.
32:02 One of the best views of all Amman from here.
32:05 You live in Amman?
32:06 I live in a suburb of Amman.
32:08 Ah, nice, nice.
32:09 Quiet, more quiet.
32:10 Join me in my guide, Fadi's stories.
32:15 This is certainly the perfect way to end my trip here in Jordan.
32:19 [music]
32:23 In my three days here in Jordan, I saw how much they care about their culture.
32:28 Even though we can't avoid modernization, we should not forget our roots.
32:35 And even though the deserts here are hot, it reflects the warm welcome of locals to visitors like me.
32:45 It's also one of the reasons why many Filipinos travel and work here.
32:50 But as all trips must end, I will say this,
32:54 Till we meet again, Jordan.
32:57 Jordan.
