00:00Vieros, do you know what fruit this is?
00:04You're wrong.
00:06This is not a fruit.
00:08This is the fruit of the nipa or nipa palm fruit.
00:11But do you know how and where you can get it?
00:14For those who are curious,
00:17this video just got 34 million views.
00:20This was made by a vlogger named Cusinerong Viajero,
00:23from Hilongos, Leyte.
00:25He used to be a driver in Mindanao,
00:27but because of being a vlogger,
00:29he now has his own car, house, and land.
00:32What can I do for you, Vieros?
00:34In his videos,
00:35he shows how simple it is to live in the province
00:38and how to cook for his family.
00:40He also sells this to his 2.3 million followers on Facebook.
00:44But this is really hard.
00:45Nice content.
00:46But I hope you talk.
00:47I hope we can hear your voice.
00:49Talk to your videos.
00:51Their online Lodi doesn't talk in his vlogs.
00:56Can we hear the voice of Cusinerong Viajero for the first time?
01:01Hi, Sir Drew. Welcome.
01:02I'm Cusinerong Viajero.
01:03Welcome.
01:04Sit down.
01:05You'll talk?
01:07I don't know.
01:08Let's go.
01:09Let's go.
01:11Viajero Drew meets Cusinerong Viajero.
01:14That's why today,
01:15we'll literally taste the life of the province.
01:18First on the list,
01:19we'll taste the viral nipa palm fruit.
01:22Do you really eat this?
01:23Shouldn't you eat it?
01:24You don't really eat it?
01:25I eat it, Sir.
01:26It's delicious, Sir.
01:27What people know is that nipa is made from seeds.
01:30But here, you eat it.
01:32Is there no one who dies from it?
01:33No.
01:34It's delicious.
01:35No one dies from it.
01:36Wait, wait.
01:37Tell me where to start.
01:38Because this is not normal.
01:39I don't know because I haven't tried this yet.
01:42But for you, it seems normal.
01:44Yes.
01:45Here, for us,
01:46I'm the only one who can...
01:48You're the only one who can make it.
01:50You can cook it, right?
01:51Yes, I can cook nipa.
01:53Where did you learn it?
01:54From your parents?
01:56From your grandparents?
01:58Yes, from my parents.
01:59Even before that.
02:00Even before that?
02:01Okay, so how do we do this?
02:02Here, let's start.
02:10Taste it. It's delicious.
02:11So if you do this,
02:13you don't have to cook it anymore?
02:15No, you can eat it.
02:16How do you do that, Bro?
02:18Be careful, Sir.
02:19How?
02:20It's like Lanzones.
02:22Yes, it's like Lanzones.
02:24But...
02:25It's more delicious than Buko.
02:27Maybe it's because it's Lanzon.
02:29Oh, no.
02:31It's delicious.
02:35I'm sorry.
02:36You'll forget your nickname.
02:39True.
02:40But I said Lanzones,
02:42but you said it's more delicious than Buko.
02:44I get you because it's consistent.
02:46It's closer to Buko than Lanzones.
02:49Lanzones has a distinct sweetness.
02:52This is like...
02:55Actually, it has a bit of lychee.
02:58The leaves of Nepa Pound Fruit are usually used
03:00in the roof of the house.
03:02And the fruit,
03:03aside from being eaten raw,
03:05can also be used as a snack.
03:07That's why this is considered
03:08one of the most important economic Philippine crops
03:11because of its many uses.
03:13Wait.
03:14Do we just eat this?
03:16You can also make it sweet.
03:18Sir, we're going to make Nepa Con Hielo.
03:20Okay.
03:21Let's try it.
03:22Let's start.
03:23The ice first?
03:24Yes.
03:25Okay.
03:26It's okay.
03:27You're holding the ice.
03:32This is what I'm doing.
03:34Try it, sir.
03:39It's delicious.
03:42Do you like it, sir?
03:43It's delicious.
03:44It's not too sweet.
03:45And you can't get tired of the sweetness.
03:50It's good.
03:52Because of the delicious Nepa Con Hielo,
03:54I almost forgot the real name of the cook.
03:57Guys,
03:58this is Arnel Celesio,
04:0035 years old.
04:01What I want to show is
04:03the life in the province
04:05is not boring.
04:06If you're patient here,
04:08you'll live.
04:09You'll have a lot of things to cook,
04:11vegetables,
04:12food.
04:15Because of vlogging,
04:16he also got help
04:17from hundreds of people in their barangay
04:19through giving free groceries every year.
04:22He's fond of cooking.
04:24He also used his wife's sweet tongue.
04:28My wife is the one who pushed me to vlog.
04:31She's also a food vlogger
04:33that even my followers don't know her.
04:36They're ready to have a hard lunch.
04:38The wife of Chef Bihero
04:40is behind the page of Taste of Pinas
04:42that has 1.8 million followers.
04:45This is Irene Celesio.
04:47We met in Manila.
04:49At first,
04:50I persuaded the caretaker
04:53to let me bring the food.
04:56But the time came
04:58that I brought the food
05:00because I wanted to court her.
05:02It's the first time we've seen people
05:06that you're together.
05:08They don't know
05:09that you're ex-girlfriend.
05:11Yes, it's the first time.
05:13We're separated by pages.
05:15My content is more on business recipes,
05:20home cooked meals.
05:21His content is counter side cooking.
05:23Watch out.
05:25Food vlogger, sweet lover.
05:27We started our relationship
05:30because of food.
05:31That's why we were able to vlog.
05:34Who do you think is better at cooking?
05:38Me.
05:40She's fast.
05:41She's fast.
05:42Kids always request me
05:44to cook like this.
05:51Not new in Irene's vlog,
05:53Taste of Pinas,
05:54are the recipes of different kinds of rice.
05:55But we found a suman
05:57that has a big arm
05:58and can fill 3 people.
06:00This is Magsaysay.
06:02But it's not only big,
06:05it also has a surprise.
06:09Mango Bud
06:11Mango Bud
06:13Mango Bud
06:15Mango Bud
06:17There are other kinds of this
06:19that you can choose.
06:20There's Mango Bud
06:22with mango filling.
06:23Choco Bud
06:24with chocolate.
06:25And Res Marias
06:26made from 2 colors of sticky rice.
06:30Behind this strong business
06:33is 80 years old,
06:34Nanay Natividad.
06:36I've been married for 35 years.
06:39Until now,
06:41I don't have a job at home.
06:43That's the job I thought of doing
06:47so I can help my husband.
06:50Because of her customers' requests,
06:52the ordinary suman
06:53was made extraordinary.
06:55Bigger and more expensive.
06:58Before, we didn't have anything.
07:00Now, God's mercy,
07:03we were able to build a house,
07:05we were able to buy a small plot of land.
07:07Magsaysay's business
07:09didn't disappear
07:10because Nanay Natividad's income
07:13was enough for her 1 dozen children.
07:16The extraordinary suman
07:18was passed on to the taste of tourists.
07:21It's sweet,
07:22and it has a chocolate filling.
07:24It's delicious and unique.
07:26When I go back to America,
07:27I'll bring this to Pasalubong
07:29because many Filipinos
07:31are looking for rice.
07:33It's delicious.
07:34Because I like it sweet.
07:37And it's soft.
07:39It's crunchy and delicious.
07:42It's super soft.
07:43And the chocolate is just right.
07:47It's really delicious.
07:49The business started
07:51and was passed on to Nanay Natividad's children.
07:53Partida,
07:5445 years and counting,
07:56Nanay's Magsaysay.
07:57I'm thankful to God.
07:59I thought of this
08:01so I can help
08:03my children.
08:05Now that I'm old,
08:07I can't work anymore.
08:10My children are the only ones
08:12who work now,
08:13including my grandchildren.
