00:00In the fish market, not only do they remove the fins, but also the scales.
00:04But here in the Dagupan market, there's a different kind of scales
00:08that can't be seen in the fish, but in the soup.
00:12Scales are called in the Pinukuloang Lamang Laob ng Baka, an authentic dish of the Dagupan people.
00:18We got to know Betta and Mercy here in Kaleskesan.
00:23They are from the family that was the first to sell scales in the whole of Dagupan.
00:28Is this the world-famous Kaleskes?
00:32Yes.
00:33What are the ingredients of Kaleskes?
00:38The bones, the skin, the meat, this is the bones.
00:44There are bones?
00:45Yes, and this is the skin.
00:47Skin? What does it mean?
00:49Lapay.
00:50Lapay.
00:51Pancreas.
00:52Pancreas.
00:53And this is the meat.
00:54How much is it per order?
00:5550.
00:5650 pesos?
00:57It will take 5 hours for the scales.
01:00To save money, they use wooden sticks.
01:04The customer can choose the scales.
01:10And this will add more flavor.
01:21What does it taste like, sir?
01:22Well, because I put calamansi, it's a bit sour, right?
01:26But then we put chili, it's spicy.
01:30But sometimes, that's what we're really looking for.
01:32The sourness, the spiciness, and the long-boiled meat.
01:39Because it also comes from the bones, right?
01:42There are no bones.
01:43Oh, there are no bones.
01:44It's all meat.
01:45That's all.
01:52Oh, it's so tender.
01:56On this day, I will try to help Nanay Beta and Nanay Mercy in selling.
02:07Where should I put it?
02:08Over there.
02:09Oh, over there.
02:10You might be able to get in.
02:13Oh, it's over there. Thank you, bro.
02:16I really want to get a real fork.
02:21I feel like this is just a fork, not a fork.
02:23Where should I put it?
02:24Over there, sir.
02:25Oh, okay.
02:26It's hot.
02:27Oh, okay.
02:28You might get in.
02:29So, I'll put it here.
02:31You can put the soup.
02:32Let's put the soup.
02:33Yes.
02:34So, I'll get it here.
02:35Yes.
02:40Is it done?
02:41It's done.
02:42I'll put it on her head.
02:44Sorry.
02:45It's hot.
02:46It's hot.
02:47She might get in.
02:48There.

03:40For more than six decades,
03:42Kaliskesna has been the breadwinner of Nanay Mercy's family.
03:46She's the third generation to sell it,
03:48and she has no plans to be the last
03:50because she will continue to pass on the Kaliskes recipe
03:53to the next generations of her family.
03:58This food is one of the most inventive recipes of Bagus.
04:04Which of these should be awarded?

06:16The dishes that are prepared won't be left out,
06:18such as pinaputukang bagus and cheesy baked bagus.
06:22Hi, ma'am.
06:23Hi, sir.
06:25Are you a bagus, sir?
06:26I'm a bagus?
06:27I eat a lot.
06:28It's like I'm becoming a bagus.
06:30You're a bagus, sir.
06:31In Tagalog, I love you.
06:33Oh, wow.
06:36You're really something.
06:38And our last contestant, contestant number 8.
06:42Hi, sir.
06:43Hi, ma'am.
06:44I'm a bagus, sir.
06:45You're a bagus?
06:46Okay, share your bagus.
06:47I'm a bagus, sir.
06:48Violets are blue.
06:50I want to go fishing with you, sir.
06:54Basta bagulos.
06:55Pleasure.
06:59I like how you do it.
07:00How many times did you practice that?
07:02Ten times.
07:03Ten times?
07:05Ten times?
07:08There was an earthquake.
07:09Sir, wait a minute.
07:10Oh, I saw it.
07:11Your head went up.
07:14Sir, we're just making sure that no one saw it.
07:17No one saw it.
07:19The pick-up lines are strong.
07:20This is the battle against the most delicious bagus dish.
07:23So, after careful selection,
07:25I will choose the bagus dish of Tobia Ros.
07:28It's a very tough choice.
07:30My top 3 is...
07:32Third?
07:33The paella.
07:35I'm a fan of mayonnaise.
07:36So, I guess, whatever you put in mayonnaise,
07:39like this,
07:40well, since it's bagus,
07:42you just put mayo,
07:43and then you have rice.
07:46For me, it's like a full meal already,
07:47so that's part of my top 3.
07:50For my top 2 favorites,
07:52the bagus sisig and bagus teriyaki.
07:55I love how it tastes,
07:57and this one as well,
07:58because it's crunchy.
08:00It's very delicious,
08:01and it has a savory and sweet combo.
08:05The winner of this award is none other than
08:07the founder of all of these dishes,
08:10Chef Eric.
08:11We just started with the most basic traditional Filipino dish,
08:16which is grilled boneless bangus.
08:19Then, eventually, we thought that
08:21we need to come up with other kinds of dishes
08:25so that there won't be any customer fatigue.
08:29And eventually, I have a friend who is a chef.
08:32We joined forces.
08:34Chef Eric discovered different kinds of bangus dishes
08:37made with love by his grandmother.
08:39And now, he will also share his bangus
08:41to many eateries across the country
08:44because his business already has more than 70 branches.
