00:00In our new trip, the more the merrier.
00:05That's why you're all invited,
00:07even if it's a big family
00:12or friends.
00:13No one will be left behind.
00:16It is really recommended for family and group of friends traveling
00:21because we have wide open spaces here which the family can enjoy.
00:27In a place where the more the merrier.
00:30Sounds fishy, but it's legit.
00:34Our admission fee is 150 pesos.
00:37If you want to take a bath in the pool, you have to pay 75 pesos.
00:41If you want to go to the eco park, you have to pay 100 pesos.
00:48Prepare your feet, eyes, and that's it.
00:51Because the agenda for today,
00:53it's a one-to-one road trip,
00:58nature trip,
01:09and food trip.
01:17Their beef is so good.
01:18So good.
01:20And it's calm when it comes to the budget,
01:22because I answered tips for budgetarians of family and group of friends.
01:31When it comes to Davao, durian is a must.
01:35But what most people don't know is that there's another type of fruit that's very popular here.
01:40The banana capital of the Philippines is the town of Panabu in Davao del Norte.
01:45But the fruits here are not spread.
01:47There are a lot of monkeys here.
01:49There are a lot of banana farmers here.
01:52And they are our companions in our first activity, the banana harvesting.
01:57So Agria is designed and focused in agriculture.
02:01That's why we call it the agricultural metropolis or agropolis.
02:06They have 67 varieties of bananas here.
02:09Yes, 67 varieties.
02:11And we were able to harvest one of them, the Grand 9.
02:18It's one of the rarest varieties of bananas,
02:21because it's a bit white.
02:25So now, Kuya Munet and Kuya Hernante will show us how to harvest bananas.
02:33There, slowly.
02:38Then it will go back to where it was.
02:41It won't go back.
02:42Okay.
02:44This cushion is just for the shoulder.
02:48You will put it here so that when it falls, it won't hurt too much.
02:54So you can go left, you can go right.
03:03So can I try?
03:04You go first.
03:05You're nervous for me, right?
03:06Okay.
03:07Baby, I'm just kidding.
03:13There.
03:15Okay.
03:16Got it.
03:17Let's try it, B1.
03:19I mean, travelers.
03:22So this is how you do it.
03:24Like this?
03:25Or to the left?
03:26Whichever.
03:27You, which one is stronger?
03:29I think I like this one better.
03:31Okay.
03:32So this is the padding.
03:34This is the cushion.
03:37Okay.
03:45Okay.
03:56Okay.
03:57Like this.
04:06Let's eat.
04:11Oh, no!
04:14The newly harvested bananas are sent to their packing house.
04:18This is where their OC comes out.
04:20They are thoroughly washed, selected, and placed in boxes
04:25the bananas that passed the final screening or quality control.
04:31Can I do that, sir?
04:32Or not?
04:40Let's get the one like this.
04:43That's how you prepare it.
04:47Why do you do that?
04:49Do you remove the one with blemish?
04:51The one with dirt?
04:52Yes, sir.
04:55So after cleaning and packing, do you need to dry it or not?
04:59It's okay.
05:00Okay.
05:03Is this for export?
05:05Or just for local consumption?
05:09Local consumption.
05:10How much do you harvest?
05:13Around 60 kilos.
05:1560 kilos per week?
05:17Or more?
05:18More.
05:24Sir, look at this.
05:26I brought all of these.
05:27I don't know what to call this.
05:29What is this?
05:30Mango?
05:32Sit here for a while.
05:34I can't believe this.
05:35Why is this yellow?
05:36I only know that this is a banana from the market.
05:39Latundan.
05:40Latundan.
05:41Taba.
05:42Saba.
05:43Yes.
05:44You said that when you eat saba,
05:45you only cook saba.
05:46Is it delicious?
05:48Yes.
05:49But I don't know if this is the same variant.
05:51I only know that the cabin dishes are so pretty to look at.
05:56They're not the tastiest, they're not the sweetest,
05:58but they're so pretty to look at.
06:00Hence, this is what we export to other countries.
06:05That's why it's important to look at them.
06:07Don't touch it.
06:08It's mine.
06:11It's white.
06:13Wow, look at this.
06:14It's so perfect.
06:16So, when we buy this in Hong Kong or Japan,
06:20it's so expensive because it's so pretty.
06:23Sir, I really saw it.
06:24Made in Philippines when I went to Japan.
06:26That's why.
06:27When you choose, it's written,
06:28Made in the Philippines.
06:29Made in Davao.
06:31I really tasted the local banana.
06:35What does that mean?
06:36The banana.
06:38Our conversations are so confusing when we're eating bananas.
06:43It's sweet, not sweet.
06:44It's confusing.
06:46I don't know where to start.
06:47But you know what's funny?
06:49When you're eating bananas,
06:50you don't touch it.
06:51Why?
06:52It looks like a monkey.
06:53Why?
06:54The monkey is the cameraman, right?
06:56Go there first.
06:58That's right.
07:00We're really talking nonsense here.
07:04Not only can you harvest bananas here,
07:06as I said earlier,
07:07no one will leave this family.
07:09For a day tour, our admission fee is 150 pesos.
07:13For 3 years old and below, they are free.
07:24They have animal feeding,
07:28pedal boating,
07:30and they can play in their earth mound playground.
07:36You can also try the kangaroo ride,
07:38where the kangaroo will pull your cart
07:40while going around the place.
07:42It's just a chill ride here.
07:44Right, Alberto?
07:46It is really recommended for family and group of friends traveling
07:50because we have wide open spaces here
07:53which the family can enjoy fresh air
07:57and they can actually do picnic here as well.
08:07And because we are G in everything,
08:09G as in Gagalingan,
08:11let's try skimboarding again.
08:21It's good that we have a champion skimboarder with us.
08:25So, when did you start skimboarding?
08:27And where did you learn it?
08:29Just here in Morgandi, 2006.
08:34So, it just started as a hobby,
08:36and then it became a job.
08:40Because you teach a lot of people,
08:42that became your life.
08:44I went to a lot of places.
08:46I went to the Philippines,
08:48I went to the Philippines,
08:50I went to the Philippines,
08:52What are you looking forward to?
08:53A lot of things already.
08:54Yesterday, I went to Mati, Zergao.
08:55Where's Mati? That's okay!
08:57Palawan,
08:58Have you competed in other places?
09:00Cebu!
09:01Oh, there, okay.
09:02Sambales.
09:03What do you feel ?
09:05Is that you're living the dream
09:07because you're enjoying what you do
09:10and then you're making money?
09:11Just focusing.
09:13At the very least,
09:14people are around me here in Morgandi.
09:22Moment of truth!
09:24Will I be able to join RJ?
09:27Or maybe I'll just fly back to the sea.
09:53You can see the intensity in his eyes.
09:57And of course, the timing is important.
10:00The way he pulls the skimboard
10:03so that he can throw it nicely.
10:08But what I see in him that I don't see in me,
10:11is the commitment.
10:14I guess I don't have much experience.
10:16Sometimes, you really need to have commitment.
10:18Before, I wasn't ready for commitments.
10:26We've been married for 9 years.
10:34So now, at least I can see that he's waiting for one wave.
10:37He's throwing it too fast,
10:39and he's shaking the board,
10:42that's why there's an oomph.
10:44How does it feel?
10:46Oomph!
10:47How does it feel after 3 weeks of doing it?
10:53You're doing it!
10:54How does it feel?
10:55It's fun.
10:56It's fun.
10:58Do you want to do it again?
11:00Again.
11:01Again and again.
11:02It's getting harder.
11:04There are tricks.
11:05Great.
11:06I'll just watch.
11:07JUMBO HOT
11:14Aside from the sea,
11:15this resort is also visited because the accommodations are affordable.
11:18They have open huts for groups who are only here during the day.
11:2210 to 12 persons can rent a regular hut for P350.
11:2830 persons can rent a jumbo hut for P1,000.
11:33They also have rooms for those who want to stay overnight.
11:38Most of our guests are family when they come here.
11:42They're all friends when they come here
11:46because our place is really safe.
11:49I don't put TVs in the rooms
11:52because when they come here, it's like a family bonding.
11:56Just say yes to New Adventures because there's a lot more you can do here.
12:01When the pandemic hit,
12:03their project was to build an eco-park inside the resort.
12:10This is where the koi pond,
12:15aviary,
12:16and other flower gardens were built.
12:19There are 6,000 koi fishes in their pond
12:22where you can try to catch a koi fish.
12:26There are 6,000 koi fishes in their pond
12:28where you can try to catch a koi fish.
12:33If you want to take a bath in the sea,
12:36it's only P50.
12:39If you want to take a bath in the pool,
12:41you have to pay P75.
12:47From being G,
12:48it looks like D, as in Deja Vu,
12:51is what will happen next.
12:52Durian, please be good to me.
12:56When did I try durian?
13:01It's been a long time.
13:02Ah, I know why.
13:03It's because I don't really like it.
13:06But I'm always open-minded
13:08because I'm a certified beer drinker.
13:11I keep telling myself that.
13:13But let's see if this works.
13:16Oh, that's it.
13:18That's it.
13:22This is really good.
13:29Let's go back to the corn.
13:35I really can't eat it.
13:36Let's ask Ray.
13:39Because Ray doesn't eat.
13:41Ray?
13:42I won't go home to Manila
13:43if I can't eat durian.
13:48You don't like this?
13:50Because
13:52usually,
13:53for example,
13:54the flavor of avocado,
13:57when you cook it,
13:59or ube,
14:01you can't really taste it.
14:02It's like,
14:03is this really ube?
14:04But this,
14:05oh,
14:06it's like the durian
14:09that's been cooked
14:10and put here,
14:11it still tastes like that.
14:13You know, it's so unfair
14:14for people who like durian.
14:16Because it's a matter of preference.
14:19Some people,
14:20for example, my son
14:21doesn't eat bananas and egg.
14:23I love bananas and egg.
14:24So I will appreciate
14:26what I like.
14:27But for this,
14:28I might not appreciate it
14:29and I might not be able
14:30to communicate properly
14:32to you guys
14:33who love durian.
14:34So,
14:36I'll try it again.
14:38Being the certified VI Raya,
14:39I'll try it.
14:42It smells good.
14:47In fairness,
14:48it's not too strong.
14:49It's not too pungent.
14:50Durian desserts are available
14:52at Kara's Food Haven
14:53in Panabo City.
14:55Go for it, Ray!
14:58Biko pandan with mango.
15:00Now we're talking.
15:04I haven't tried it yet.
15:08It's so good.
15:10Of course,
15:11we know that
15:12biko
15:15and then
15:17pandan
15:18and then mango
15:19are sweet.
15:29Our correspondent for today
15:31is a literal correspondent
15:32for Jimmy Davao,
15:33Jandi.
15:40As a proud Davaoan,
15:41he will accompany us
15:42to taste the Bulkacong
15:44of a traditional
15:45homestyle restaurant
15:46in Balay Oboza.
15:48Let's go inside
15:49and taste it.
15:52Dear viewers,
15:53we have with us
15:54Sir Carly.
15:55And he will prepare for us
15:57the so-called
15:58Bulkacong
15:59with a twist.
16:00Why with a twist?
16:02Here at Dolla,
16:03what we use here
16:04is beef.
16:05So, the usual Bulkacong,
16:06we use carabao meat.
16:08And then we use
16:09peanut butter
16:10also in our soup.
16:11So, that's kind of different.
16:13Carabao is the original
16:14Bulkacong.
16:15For us,
16:17carabao has
16:18its own smell
16:19and then
16:20the meat is harder.
16:22So, it's not for everyone.
16:24So, in Dolla,
16:25for all the Filipinos
16:27or all of our customers
16:28to enjoy the
16:30Bulkacong.
16:31So,
16:32we have a pulley.
16:33So, now,
16:34we will first put
16:35the lemongrass.
16:36Lemongrass.
16:38Sir put it on high heat, right?
16:39So, the lemongrass is first
16:40compared to
16:41the spices.
16:42Because,
16:43for the aroma
16:44to come out,
16:45we need to
16:46put it on high heat.
16:47Okay.
16:52Who usually
16:53orders this?
16:54Because,
16:55the Bulkacong,
16:56according to
16:57our viewers,
16:58our viewers,
16:59because the Bulkacong
17:00dish is
17:01to remove
17:02the hangover.
17:03Yes.
17:04Actually,
17:05it's really famous
17:06because of that.
17:07Your customers are
17:08already used to it.
17:09After the night out,
17:10the soup.
17:11So, this is
17:12one of the places
17:13they go to.
17:14So, it's already seasoned
17:15and the peanut butter
17:16is already here.
17:17Okay.
17:20So,
17:21in less than
17:22five minutes,
17:23our
17:24Buli is ready.
17:31So,
17:32my fellow travelers,
17:33we will now taste
17:34the Buli,
17:35the Bulkacong
17:36with a twist
17:37here in Tola.
17:38The Bulkacong
17:39that I tasted,
17:40it's like
17:41a Balbacua.
17:42So, its taste.
17:43So,
17:44that's why
17:45the taste of
17:46their Buli,
17:47the Bulkacong
17:48with a twist.
17:51It's a bit
17:52sweet.
17:54It's really
17:55like a different
17:56dish.
17:57So,
17:58if you compare it
17:59to the ordinary
18:00Bulkacong,
18:01it's like
18:02a Balbacua
18:03mixed with
18:04Bulalo.
18:05So,
18:06let's taste
18:07the meat
18:08of the Buli.
18:09Because the
18:10Bulkacong,
18:11their meat,
18:12the carabao,
18:14is mixed.
18:15So, it's crushed.
18:16So,
18:17the chunks are
18:18still in place.
18:19So,
18:20let's taste it.
18:21There.
18:26Perfect.
18:28The meat is tender.
18:30It's like
18:31Nugay Canigilatan.
18:33The meat is really
18:34tender.
18:35And of course,
18:36it's delicious
18:37mixed
18:38with
18:40rice.
18:43The rice is good.
18:49It's good.
19:02Family gatherings?
19:03Events?
19:04Or even if there's no auction,
19:05but you want to go on vacation?
19:06My answer is clear.
19:08Let's go to Camp Kalinaw!
19:14It has 4 loft bedrooms
19:16that can accommodate
19:1736 persons.
19:25If you rent the whole guesthouse,
19:27for weekdays,
19:28there's P44,000.
19:31That's with free breakfast
19:34and
19:35exclusive use
19:36of the whole resort.
19:37On weekends,
19:38our rate is
19:39P49,500
19:41with free breakfast
19:42and
19:43exclusive use
19:44of the whole resort.
19:48Enjoy their infinity pool
19:50while looking at the mountains.
19:59If you're looking for a natural pool,
20:01just walk down the slope for 5 minutes
20:03and you can take a bath
20:05in this cool water.
20:08Hey,
20:09it's bath time!
20:12Philippines
20:13Philippines
20:14Philippines
20:15Philippines
20:23They also have an in-house cafe
20:24for your daily coffee fix.
20:28Out of the blue,
20:29there's a kitchen
20:30that you can cook
20:31or bring your own food.
20:38If you want to bring your boats,
20:40If you want to relax, if you want to be stress-free and far from the downtown, far from the traffic.
20:48But it's still in Davao City, so it's not that far to travel.
20:58Maybe you haven't tried the so-called first and original Lechon Baka in Davao.
21:03Pure U.S. Angus beef for only 100 pesos.
21:07Yep, I'm not kidding, Bierros.
21:09So is it really true that you started Lechon Baka here?
21:13Actually, it's a pandemic baby.
21:17Okay, so budget, well, not budget meals, but about the pricing.
21:26So 129 to around 179 bucks.
21:29So let's try the salpicao first.
21:32Salpicao would be just right, just fair.
21:37So I'm expecting it's going to be very garlicky because as you can see, you've got like fried garlic bits drizzled on top.
21:46We shouldn't have eaten before this location.
21:50How can I finish this?
21:52As you know, my wife and I are beef lovers.
21:56And anything to do with beef, we love.
22:02Love, so yes, salpicao, garlicky, pasok.
22:06May konting sipa lang because see the pepper flakes?
22:10Just the right amount.
22:11So kahit hindi ka masyadong mahilig sa maanghang, saktong sipa lang, hindi masyadong offensive ba.
22:23Iba kasi yung Lechon Baka.
22:25If you compare this to a fast food burger steak, it's incomparable.
22:32Why?
22:33The patty is thicker, it's bigger, and you know it tastes better.
22:39Parang homemade ba.
22:40Parang ginawa mo sa bahay mo.
22:45Wow, so good.
22:48Calling all seafood lovers, arat na sa kainang ito sa downtown.
22:54Kabubukas pa lang nito, pero marami silang suki dahil sa beach vibes.
23:00Pero ang highlight ng kainan, ang kanilang pangmaramihan na boodle fight na kaya busugin ang buong pamilya at ropa.
23:06Bawat boodle fight ay may kasamang alimango, hipod, bahong, pansit, kanin, at side dishes.
23:13I come up with the name El Patrona because I used to work with the Mexican people and with Filipinas.
23:19So I decided na i-combine ko yung Mexican foods and Filipino, and that's why it's all started.
23:26Mukhang palavaran din sa kainan ng mga bagets na ito.
23:29Ang boodle fight na para sa limang tao, pinagkasyan nila sa sampu.
23:33Actually, the food is very good, especially more on seafood siya.
