00:00This snack is very popular in Japan.
00:05It's round and sticky.
00:08And usually, it has a sweet filling inside.
00:13The mochi.
00:15But did you know that we already have a version of this?
00:19The ko is called in a round and sticky shape that has a ring and a traditional sugar.
00:25And one of the first to make it, we found it in the town of Vinzons, Camarines Norte.
00:33As time goes by, how is the ko made?
00:40Using a traditional grinding stone, the sticky part is put to make it finer and to remove the juice.
00:47Then, the sticky part is filled with peanut and sweet sangkaka or panucha.
00:54This is the filling. Then, we'll put it in the sticky part.
01:00The filling inside will be round and firm.
01:04Lastly, we'll cook it in a steamer for 6 to 7 minutes.
01:17When I was a kid, angko was my favorite. It's still one of the best and a must-try here.
01:26This is my favorite snack here in Camarines Norte.
01:30When you come here, this is the most delicious snack that you can buy here in Vinzons.
01:38The local historian in Camarines Norte believes that this was the first snack in the 1950s.
01:45Angko! Angko!
01:48According to a story, there's a woman who plays with it while it's spinning in her head.
01:54One of the first to make angko in the remote area of Vinzons is Juliana Clasio Balani,
02:01or better known as Nana Oya, who was born in 1897.
02:08Nana Oya's great-grandmother passed it on to the Balani family.
02:15Until her great-grandmother, Biene, passed away.
02:18Biene is now 90 years old.
02:21Angko is their livelihood.
02:25When I was a kid, I was the first to learn how to make angko.
02:29After that, my children became engineers, chemists, and teachers.
02:36That's how I learned how to make angko.
02:38That's why I owe a lot to making angko.
02:41But because she's getting old, in 2000, she stopped making angko for her daughter-in-law, Maribig.
02:50As of now, they can sell up to 7,000 pieces in a day.
02:56Here are the quanders.
02:59I was able to finish these because I sold a lot of angko.
03:05Wow, angko is really a win-win.
03:09It's not just a snack that you can reach, but it's also a source of livelihood.
03:14The term angko is a Japanese term.
03:17It means a cheerful person with ambition.
03:21It means to be cheerful.
03:23The consumption of angko in our country, especially in Vinzons,
03:28can be a source of livelihood because it's different and delicious.
03:32That's why we have the ambition to eat it again and again because it gives us a smile.
03:39That's why there's no doubt that angko is like a snack that will make Juan smile.
