00:00Oh my, that's a big one.
00:02Kim, do you know when you're standing or when you're snoozing?
00:08I snooze.
00:09Me too.
00:10Two minutes.
00:11I warm up.
00:12After two minutes, you're there.
00:13Sometimes, it's two snoozes.
00:14It's hard to stand now, especially when it's raining.
00:15But in Occidental Mindoro, even if it's late at night, you'll wake up.
00:16Not because of the alarm, but because of the animals that greet them every time it rains.
00:17That's the story we're going to tell you.
00:18In the middle of the night, while the residents of Barangay Mapagkalingan in Playa Occidental
00:42Mindoro greet their pets, they suddenly wake up.
00:51It's not because of the alarm, but because of the noise of the bats.
01:00The resident, Leia Sibayan, told us that every time it rains, the bats come out of their
01:06area.
01:07In the first rain of May, the bats come out.
01:08The bats are a type of insects that move around, where a loud sound comes from, that
01:15is like a scream.
01:16The bats only come out at night when the rain is too heavy, and their horns are also
01:22too strong.
01:23Leia is still a child.
01:24She is already familiar with the bats.
01:25She grew up seeing them jumping on the roof and nearby bungalows in their house.
01:26We already have a lot of bats that we see here.
01:27But the bats that we see in our house, we don't see them.
01:28The bats that we see in our house, we don't see them.

02:00The bat is also known as the Asiatic bullfrog.
02:04It can grow its tail and release poisonous liquid as a defense against enemies.
02:11In the study of herpetologist Dr. Arvind Yasmos,
02:15bats are considered invasive alien species or not native to the country.
02:21It is a stowaway or accidentally it is with other materials.
02:28For example, plants, garden plants that are included in it.
02:33This bat is originally from Southeast Asia.
02:38It belongs to Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia.
02:43Dr. Arvind also added that the increase of bats has a big effect on the population of native bats.
02:51We have studies and other researchers and herpetologists
02:56that have shown that our native frogs,
03:01these are the so-called wild bats,
03:04they are slowly disappearing or their population is decreasing.
03:08This bat is very tolerant of disturbance.
03:13Carnivorous or carnivorous and small insects are eaten by bats.
03:18It also grows fast, so it is over-competed.
03:21In other words, our native frogs are easily defeated.
03:24Within two hours, Leia was able to catch a bat.
03:30They clean it alive and add salt.
03:34When cooking adobong palaka, we peel it first.
03:37But it can also not be peeled.
03:39Then we just stir-fry it with garlic, onion, and ginger.
03:43Reminded by nutritionist dietitian Regiem Dante,
03:47it is important to clean the bat well before eating.
03:50With palakampetot, specifically, they have a defense mechanism
03:56or they usually have toxins in their skin.
03:59There are communities that eat even if it has skin.
04:02But in the spirit of safety, let's remove it.
04:05Palakampetot, we call it batracotoxin.
04:09It's a cardiotoxin and a neurotoxin.
04:12So it can cause heart failure and then it can cause your brain to stop functioning.
04:17After 15 minutes, you can taste the adobong palakampetot.
04:25It's delicious, salty, and sweet.
04:30It's delicious because it has bones and it's soft.
04:34We've been eating palakampetot for a long time.
04:37No one has been sick to us until now.
04:40Catching and eating frogs is a tradition in their community.
04:44It is still important to be careful.
04:48I am Marisol Abdurrahman and you should know the story.
