00:00If most of the beautiful girls who go to showbiz can't break a plate,
00:08she can break what she can do.
00:11She's so strong!
00:13Oh no!
00:15Are you okay? Are you okay?
00:17Herlene Nicole Boudot, 20-something,
00:22the one and only, Rizal!
00:25I don't have time to talk.
00:27Pantico Brown.
00:29And she has no artist in her body.
00:31I'm a bit clumsy.
00:33You don't have that.
00:35Herlene Boudot.
00:37The next question of many,
00:39where did she come from?
00:41She was just born and raised here,
00:43in the famous Art Capital of the Philippines,
00:45where it's rare to see,
00:47and where the food is delicious.
00:49I'm drooling.
00:51I'm just telling a story and I'm drooling.
00:53It's solid, right?
00:55Yes.
00:57And who's the best to join a march in a city
01:01if not the locals?
01:03That's why today,
01:05we're going on a march and a food trip
01:07in Rizal with Herlene Boudot.
01:09Come on,
01:11come with me.
01:13Last year,
01:15it was a good thing that
01:17Rizal's coffee shops
01:19opened in the province.
01:21It became a favorite of many riders.
01:23It's relaxing.
01:25It's a relaxing nature view.
01:27It's nice.
01:29In the city, there are a lot of cars.
01:31Here, you can enjoy the rides.
01:33There's no traffic,
01:35no pollution.
01:37The air is fresh and cool.
01:39If you're looking for a cafe that's not just
01:41hashtag for the gram,
01:43delicious and family friendly,
01:45I got you, Vieros.
01:47In this cafe,
01:49aside from the overlooking view,
01:51one of the things that the adventurers
01:53tried here is their rabbit meat.
01:55Presenting rabbit ham,
01:57rabbit sausage,
01:59and adobo flakes with rabbit meat.
02:01Actually, the food is great.
02:03And especially,
02:05it's very peaceful here.
02:07There's no stress.
02:09It's 10 out of 10 for me.
02:11The food is cheap.
02:13It's also pet-friendly.
02:15That's why we can bring our pets here in the mother time.
02:17One thing that we really liked
02:19here is the view.
02:21And second, the food.
02:23It's affordable.
02:25It's also delicious.
02:27It's also perfect to have a cup of tea
02:29while admiring the sunset.
02:31Wow!
02:33Usually, our guests come here
02:35from Quezon City, Pasig, Caloocan.
02:37They come here to see
02:39the view of the camp.
02:41Riders Hub was chosen
02:43as the result where
02:45the overlooking view and hot coffee is a perfect combo.
02:47That's why cafes
02:49have their own rules.
02:51Aside from the dining experience,
02:53you can also have a glamping
02:55or social camping in this cafe.
02:57But with the cold breeze
02:59at night with this view,
03:01ah!
03:03Just a few steps away,
03:05you'll reach another cafe.
03:07In Antioquia,
03:09you'll find 1,000 flowers
03:11that shine when it's dark.
03:13Actually, I scrolled it on TikTok
03:15and I saw that it's pet-friendly.
03:17So that's the reason why we're here.
03:19We really go around
03:21from Rizal.
03:23This is our fort.
03:25It's relaxing.
03:29We'll go around Angono-Rizal.
03:31We'll go with Earline
03:33to a place where every corner
03:35is her home.
03:37So what's up, guys?
03:39We're here at Angono-Rizal Market.
03:41Who are you talking to?
03:43Oh, there's a camera.
03:45I thought it was just us.
03:47So you're here.
03:49So this is your show.
03:51If Earline is a beauty queen,
03:53there's another queen in this market.
03:55There's this
03:57known as Gulaman Queen.
03:59Gulaman Queen?
04:01Rain or shine,
04:03she's here.
04:05Her name is our Gulaman Queen.
04:07Ate Mia,
04:09get out of there.
04:11Get out of there, Ate Mia.
04:13It hurts.
04:15This is our Gulaman Queen here in Angono-Rizal.
04:17If you don't ask,
04:19I'll get mad.
04:21No, I'm just explaining.
04:23Okay.
04:25Ate Mia's position
04:27is really an institution
04:29here in Angono Market.
04:31Her stores are like a work of art
04:33and very colorful.
04:35She's been selling Sagot Gulaman for 4 decades
04:37and she's the 3rd generation
04:39in their family.
04:41Before, their business was just Sagot Gulaman.
04:43Now, they're doing
04:45Halo-Halo.
04:47This is what you were telling me earlier.
04:49That you've been wanting to work
04:51for Ate Mia for a long time
04:53because she's the best employer.
04:55The benefits are different.
04:57I'm not ready.
04:59I'm not ready.
05:01Sorry.
05:03I'll just apply
05:05with resume.
05:07I'll be the one
05:09that Ate Mia will accept
05:11because I'm the owner here.
05:13What's that?
05:15Oh my God.
05:17With envelope.
05:21Oh my God.
05:23I have 4 kids.
05:25I need an extra source of income.
05:27So, I feel like
05:29maybe
05:31you need another
05:33Hey!
05:35With picture also.
05:37Employee. With picture.
05:39Oh my God.
05:41Anywhere street then, but Ortigas City.
05:43I mean, it's a 45-minute scoot.
05:45But I feel like
05:47I will be on time.
05:49Ate, please check our resume.
05:51Ate Mia, sometimes there's traffic in Ortigas.
05:53Right?
05:55It's up to you now, Ate Mia.
05:57Your country
05:59is here.
06:01Your question here is
06:03Let's see.
06:05Let's see.
06:07Let's see.
06:09Where did that come from?
06:11I'm so excited.
06:13You're so excited?
06:15I'm so excited.
06:17You're so excited?
06:19Yes.
06:21Oh my goodness.
06:23Ate, what else can we do
06:25to prove that
06:27we're the ones
06:29that fit the job.
06:31Requirements.
06:33Yes, there are requirements.
06:35We need a pleasing personality.
06:37Pleasing personality.
06:39Not angry, right?
06:41Ma'am, your hair color is beautiful.
06:43Ate Mia,
06:45our baby.
06:47So cute.
06:49Not baby.
06:51Ate Mia is not a baby.
06:53What else?
06:55Hardworking.
06:57Buy now.
06:59Buy now.
07:01It's so cheap.
07:03Buy now.
07:05I'm cleaning.
07:07Oh my gosh.
07:09What else?
07:11Good at attracting buyers.
07:13Buy now.
07:15Challenge accepted, Ate Mia.
07:17Attracting buyers?
07:19Our task, Erlin,
07:21is to attract 3 customers
07:23who are wearing the same color as us.
07:25Then we'll mix them up
07:27and give it to Ate Mia.
07:29Yeah, I was ready.
07:31In 3, 2, 1.
07:33Let's do this.
07:35This is a strategy battle.
07:37You want 500 pesos?
07:39I just need to give
07:41a nice color.
07:43Let's go there, ma'am.
07:45Is that okay?
07:47Just here.
07:49Erlin's discarding is different.
07:51I can do this.
07:53I'm colorblind.
07:55Erlin is so competitive.
07:57Let's go here.
07:59My cameraman
08:01doesn't know how to wear shoes.
08:03Let's go here.
08:05This is perfect, guys.
08:07While Erlin was looking
08:09for his customers,
08:11I completed my task.
08:13While my producer was explaining,
08:15I was looking for
08:17people who are wearing the same color
08:19as me.
08:21I told him,
08:23I have 500 pesos
08:25for you.
08:27500 pesos? I'll go with you.
08:29I think we'll win
08:31in Stage 1.
08:33Erlin's customer is wearing a different color.
08:35Guys,
08:37if you're not wondering
08:39why there's brown here,
08:41you know that
08:43if you can't see brown,
08:45that's what I'm wearing right now.
08:47Pantico Brown.
08:49Get in there.
08:51Erlin and I are face-to-face
08:53in making Halo-Halo.
08:55Brother, you're right.
09:03I'm mixing it with my hands.
09:05You don't have that.
09:07Erlin and I are almost done
09:09in making Halo-Halo.
09:11I won't fight you.
09:13Our Halo-Halo is passed to the customers of DIY.
09:17It's delicious.
09:19She gave me a little bit of love.
09:21This is what my grandma taught me.
09:23My grandma makes Halo-Halo
09:25every summer,
09:27but at least she makes it.
09:37Even though it's approved by our customers,
09:39Ate Mia still has a final say.
09:45Actually, I don't need
09:47a vendor.
09:49Sorry.
09:51So there's no hope?
09:53So what we did earlier,
09:55it's deleted.
09:57There's no story.
09:59Oh, I see.
10:03Ate Mia, I was just looking at you.
10:07I was just looking at you.
10:09I wasn't looking at you.
10:11I was looking at my neighbor.
10:13Wait.
10:15I wasn't looking at you.
10:17Even though Erlin didn't accept us,
10:19Ate Mia and her children
10:21are good at selling.
10:23She's also the owner of
10:25a very colorful business.
10:27But if this can be considered
10:29as one of the first
10:31inventions of the ancestors,
10:33its texture can be compared
10:35to a kumanoi.
10:37That's why they call it kumanoi.
10:39It only needs four ingredients,
10:41but what makes it special
10:43is the amazing process
10:45that Nanay Liberty will show us.
10:47Since I was a kid,
10:49I've been eating kumanoi,
10:51but I don't know how it's processed
10:53before we eat kumanoi, Chef.
10:55The kumanoi mixture will be
10:57set on fire and mixed
10:59for up to three hours.
11:03It will be placed
11:05in a lianera.
11:09And then,
11:11the kumanoi will be placed
11:13on top of the lianera.
11:15Why do parents have to do this?
11:17Because this is only
11:19for professionals.
11:21Right.
11:23How long have you been doing this?
11:25It's been 10 years.
11:2710 years?
11:31When I was a kid,
11:33we used to make kumanoi.
11:35I prefer
11:37making kumanoi
11:39than washing it.
11:41It's my favorite.
11:43While we're waiting for the kumanoi to cook,
11:45Earline is
11:47cooking her own kumanoi.
11:55See?
11:57This is part of my acting skills, guys.
12:01The kumanoi will be left
12:03on top of the lianera
12:05for two hours
12:07until the top part of the lianera
12:09is cooked.
12:13Once it's cooked,
12:15let it cool and it's ready to serve.
12:17Brother Drew,
12:19you're married.
12:21Yes.
12:23You know the process of getting married.
12:25Yes.
12:27For us,
12:29it's like having a thrill.
12:31Let's go.
12:33Okay.
12:35Ready?
12:37Ready.
12:39Ready?
12:41Let's go.
12:53Oh, no.
12:55Now, repeat after me.
12:57I love kumanoi.
13:01Oh, my God.
13:03It's cold.
13:05It's basic.
13:07Stop teasing her.
13:09It's time to savor every bite.
13:11The feeling of kumanoi
13:13is like
13:15it's mashed.
13:17Even if you don't have teeth,
13:19you don't have a suit,
13:21you just have to swallow it.
13:23You'll be full.
13:25But what really levels up the taste
13:27is this layer
13:29is this layer on top.
13:31For the hardworking and
13:33well-prepared kumanoi,
13:35this breakfast is like a scene.
13:41I'm also looking at the Art Capital of the Philippines,
13:43the town of Angono.
13:45It's the hometown of two national artists,
13:47Carlos Botong Francisco,
13:49known for his painting,
13:51and Lucio San Pedro,
13:53known for his music.
13:55In the town of Angono,
13:57there are many kinds of art.
13:59But the biggest way
14:01of showing the people of Angono
14:03that they are welcome
14:05to their first Gigantes Festival
14:07where the streets
14:09are full of people
14:11and the puppets are dancing.
14:13The Gigantes symbolize
14:15people, animals,
14:17and the importance of the town.
14:19But it's not only the Gigantes
14:21who are proud of Angono.
14:23Even the small ones,
14:25like this delicious fried duck.
14:27Wow!
14:29Angono's fried!
14:31Angono's fried!
14:33Okay, we're here at...
14:35where are we now?
14:37E. Rodriguez.
14:39Did you say E. Rodriguez?
14:41This is really a duck.
14:43This is the real
14:45seller of ducks
14:47here in Angono, Rizal.
14:49Aside from the fried duck,
14:51you can also buy the inside of the duck.
14:53Lin, there's already vinegar.
14:55It's like you're already here.
14:57I'm still lining up here
14:59every Friday
15:01until 8pm.
15:03I'm still lining up
15:05until there.
15:07Until there?
15:09I'm not being asked to be quiet.
15:11That's how it is?
15:13You're not asking me to be quiet.
15:15You're not asking me to be quiet.
15:17You can buy a whole fried duck
15:19for P240
15:21for P240.
15:23Mom, can I help you?
15:25Go ahead.
15:27Arlene, are you okay?
15:29I'm okay here.
15:31I've been here for a long time
15:33in Angono, Rizal,
15:35and I've been buying ducks here.
15:37I just saw
15:39such a handsome vendor.
15:41If you can buy this,
15:43I'll buy it.
15:45There's no more
15:47ducks. I'll just bring rice.
15:49I'll just bring rice.
15:51But it's familiar.
15:53Shout-out to Ate Ian.
15:55This fried duck
15:57is ready to be fried.
15:59Arlene will teach us
16:01how to eat it like a local.
16:03It's just like this.
16:05It's small.
16:07It's small.
16:09It's small?
16:11Relax.
16:13You'll eat it right away.
16:15Take a bite.
16:17It smells good.
16:19It's a good style.
16:21It's like this.
16:23It's not thrown away.
16:29It's delicious.
16:31It's delicious.
16:33It's solid, right?
16:35It's tasty, right?
16:41It's not hot anymore.
16:43That's right.
16:45It's not hot anymore.
16:47It's not cooling down.
16:49It's good.
16:51Arlene and I visited
16:53the kitchen of the ducks
16:55where we met Ate Mylene.
16:57You know,
16:59I noticed that
17:01this is one of the longest
17:03fried ducks.
17:05How long has it been?
17:0740 years.
17:0940 years?
17:11I'm still alive.
17:13I want to know
17:15why the ducks
17:17became popular here in Angono.
17:19I'm a jesmosa.
17:21I'm a real jesmosa.
17:23It's said that
17:25Angono can be called
17:27Angono.
17:29That's why it's called that
17:31because every time
17:33cars pass by here,
17:35they go to Pinamonan,
17:37Taytay, Paluas.
17:39Angono
17:41is really like
17:43a duck.
17:45That's what you can smell.
17:47Yes, that's what you can smell.
17:49Mango.
17:51Every day,
17:53200 to 300 ducks
17:55are sold here.
17:57I heard that
17:59they don't throw fried ducks here.
18:01Yes, they just throw the eggs.
18:03Oh, they just throw the eggs.
18:05They can also make
18:07a dish with ingredients
18:09from Bicong King,
18:11or the owner of the duck.
18:13And this is a caldereta.
18:15It's made from the head of the duck.
18:21But Erlin has a favorite part of the duck.
18:23My favorite part is the neck.
18:25The neck?
18:27Yes, the neck.
18:29Because of the neck,
18:31that's where I get excited.
18:33I'm just telling a story and I get excited.
18:35If you bend your neck,
18:37you can see the mountains
18:39surrounding the province of Rizal.
18:41The land here is fertile,
18:43so in the neighboring town of Angono,
18:45in the town of Murong,
18:47there are a lot of watermelons.
18:49And their one-town-one product
18:51is the Atyarang Kangkong.
18:53Most of the residents
18:55know how to make
18:57Atyarang Kangkong.
18:59The shelf life of Atyarang Kangkong
19:01is one month.
19:03Even if you don't put it in the refrigerator,
19:05it's still good.
19:07It's just right in terms of sweetness
19:09and seasoning.
19:11It's just right in terms of sweetness
19:13and softness.
19:15But not all watermelons
19:17can be found in the town of Murong.
19:19The other area of this town
19:21is a favorite destination for off-roaders.
19:23They are good at doing a kind of motorsport.
19:25The vehicle is parked on a bumpy road
19:27or roads that are usually used as a detour.
19:29It may look stressful.
19:31But it's relaxing
19:33for some people.
19:35It's something that Erlin and I will try.
19:37But before that,
19:39let's get to know this group of people
19:41who are good at off-roading,
19:43the Salikawsao Off-Roaders.
19:45We are a group
19:47of friends
19:49who are
19:51fond of off-roading
19:53activities and sports.
19:55All the hard work
19:57is worth it
19:59because they get a lot of joy from it.
20:01You get to do what you love
20:03by going to places
20:05that are far away
20:07or places that are not visited by cars.
20:09Sometimes,
20:11the off-roaders spend more than one day
20:13with the off-roaders.
20:15This activity is not for the faint-hearted.
20:17That's why the presence of mind is important.
20:19For example,
20:21the off-roader went fast
20:23on my side.
20:25But it was slow.
20:27It was slow,
20:29but it hit the tree.
20:31When I got off my side,
20:33the off-roader hit me.
20:35Groups of people go off-road.
20:37They need to help
20:39when there are obstacles.
20:41They get lost
20:43or get damaged in the middle of the trail.
20:45But Erlin doesn't care about that.
20:47Today,
20:49he's in charge of his first-ever off-road ride.
20:51I didn't know that there is
20:53something like this.
20:55Morong is 4x4.
20:57I thought it's D.
20:59But it's Marami.
21:01They don't have D.
21:03They don't have D?
21:05For example, Ding Ding will be Ring Ring.
21:07Sandok will be Sanrok.
21:11There are many.
21:13That's how it is here in Morong.
21:15That's why it's 4x4.
21:174x4.
21:19I didn't know that.
21:21Stop delaying tactics, Erlin.
21:23Let's get it on.
21:25I'm nervous, guys.
21:33This is the first destination.
21:37Hey!
21:39I thought you won't shout earlier.
21:41And now,
21:43we're riding in a garner.
21:45I hope it rains.
21:47Why are we going to the next destination
21:49suddenly?
21:53Request for
21:55backup.
21:57But with the help of
21:59our other companions,
22:01the ride continues.
22:03Their car is going up the tree.
22:05The car is going up the tree.
22:07Now, it's Erlin's turn.
22:13It's scary.
22:15It's speechless.
22:17This experience is so fun.
22:19I'll repeat it.
22:21But my brain prepared
22:23because it's sudden.
22:25I thought it's just a bump car.
22:27I thought
22:29it's just a small car.
22:31This is what we're talking about off-road.
22:33We still have a long way to go.
22:35That's why
22:37we need to stop.
22:39We're lucky
22:41with the weather today.
22:43But it's still adventurous
22:45because we're here
22:47on Drew's trip.
22:49Whatever the universe
22:51gives us,
22:53we'll just utilize
22:55and maximize.
22:59It's so fun.
23:03Despite our off-road adventure,
23:05our day tour in Rizal is worth it.
23:07How was your trip today?
23:09Are we going here?
23:11No, the whole day trip
23:13in Angonon.
23:15You took me around
23:17your hometown.
23:19I was happy earlier.
23:21Now, I'm not happy anymore.
23:23But let's go back to your hometown.
23:25You're enjoying it.
23:27That's what we noticed.
23:29You're so proud of your hometown.
23:31I grew up there.
23:33I know everything there.
23:35I know all the gossip.
23:37Everything new and old.
23:39We studied there.
23:41My hometown is small
23:43but I grew it up.
23:45I'm so proud to be a part
23:47of the Art Capital of the Philippines.
23:49That's great.
23:51You're giving
23:53heart to art.
23:55Wow, that's beautiful.
23:57Heart to art.
23:59As a tourist,
24:01it's fun to travel with a local.
24:03It's different when you come
24:05from a local.
24:07You know what's
24:09more delicious.
24:11There are things that are nostalgic for you.
24:13What's nostalgic?
24:15It's like you're going back
24:17to the place where
24:19you're used to.
24:21It's like I remember
24:23when I was a kid.
24:25And you're happy.
24:27It's like you're connected to
24:29the food, the places,
24:31the people you meet.
24:33That's what's nostalgic.
24:37It's a bonus.
24:39We're happy when we travel alone
24:41but we're never alone
24:43when we travel.
24:45This is such a great addition
24:47when we travel
24:49and we have a local tour guide.
