00:00We're now in the gigantic Suman, ready for Island Hopping.
00:03We're going to a group of islands in the town of Inupakan and Hindang.
00:08Rumor has it that this island is protected from strong typhoons and strong tides.
00:13The secret is that the islands are protected by the saints.
00:21They live a peaceful life here.
00:23But the island has a hidden mystery.
00:26Rumor has it that the islands are protected from typhoons and strong tides.
00:37In the nearby island of Himukilan, the fourth largest island of the four islands,
00:43the strong typhoons are also protected.
00:46If an island is hit by a typhoon, it's not strong and there are no damaged houses.
00:51The secret is...
00:54The islands are protected by the saints.
01:01Upon entering the island, the image of the two saints, St. Peter and St. Nino, will appear.
01:07The locals believe that these are the reason why the calamities on the island are not a big deal.
01:15But how true is this belief?
01:17If there is a typhoon, we have to prepare for it.
01:24If there is a typhoon, we have to prepare for it.
01:34According to the Inupakan LGU,
01:36the northern part of Leyte is usually hit by strong typhoons.
01:40The towns of Inupakan and Hindang,
01:42where the four islands are located,
01:44are located exactly in the northern part of the province.
01:46They are lucky because only weak typhoons hit them.
01:50The last strong typhoon that hit the island was the typhoon Odette in 2021.
01:56There are no clear and clean lakes in Leyte.
01:59It's a disaster.
02:06The water in the Uhan Lake is so clear,
02:08no sweat in finding the fallen coins.
02:12Residents believe that if you use aloe vera in the lake,
02:15you will have a healthy baby.
02:17Those who forget to use aloe vera,
02:19will get sick.
02:22If you ask,
02:24you have to use aloe vera first.
02:28If you don't use aloe vera,
02:30you will get sick.
02:31You will get sick like us.
02:34Eat this.
02:35Eat this.
02:38This water is also clean,
02:39even if it has aluminum.
02:40It won't dry up.
02:41According to the locals,
02:42even if there is a typhoon,
02:43the water won't be dirty.
02:48But is the lack of aloe vera in the Uhan Lake
02:50still a problem?
02:53My mother doesn't use aloe vera to talk to me.
02:56When I was in elementary school,
03:02I used aloe vera to talk to my mother.
03:10In other places,
03:11aloe vera is no longer available.
03:14There is no entrance fee to the place yet.
03:16But what Father Giano is asking for
03:18is to be a responsible traveler.
03:20Whatever garbage you bring,
03:22don't throw it in the water or in the forest.
