00:00When it comes to walking, Juan is often scared.
00:06He is always on guard and often avoids people.
00:13But wonder, do you know?
00:16Here in Pampanga, walking is their favorite activity.
00:20It is also considered a delicacy in their area.
00:23This is a perfect day to have a snack and make Relleno or Tugak Betute, as the people of Pampanga call it.
00:33That is why I wonder invited a restaurant where the bestseller is Tugak Betute.
00:39I learned from my parents, from my mother especially,
00:43because she loves to cook and at the same time they cook for the festivals here in Pampanga.
00:50So we highlighted Tugak Betute because it is the most exotic food of Pampanga.
01:00But before we taste it, of course, we need to work hard.
01:04Our guest is one of the cast of Running Man Philippines, Buboy Villar.
01:11Do you see the mess behind me?
01:16That's not mine.
01:17That's not from Pampanga.
01:19I was invited by I wonder for a challenge because of course, I love challenges because I am runners.
01:26I am the running man.
01:27The other runners might get jealous.
01:30I am the...
01:31I am the...
01:32I am one of the runners.
01:34But before the challenge, of course, Buboy needs someone to accompany him and teach him how to catch fish.
01:40We got to know our wanderer, Romeo, here in Magalang.
01:45I remember when I was a kid, maybe 8 years old,
01:49I was with my father and my grandfather in the field.
01:53Sometimes, the fish would get caught in the net so we would catch them.
01:58Every rainy season, Romeo is used to catching fish so he can feed his family.
02:05Romeo, what are you doing there?
02:08Why don't you want to...
02:09Why are you hiding?
02:10We are supposed to be here in Magalang.
02:12What are you doing here?
02:14I will teach you how to catch fish, sir.
02:15I will challenge you to catch fish.
02:17I don't want to.
02:18You are making me look like this.
02:20Catching fish.
02:21Catching fish.
02:22Catching fish.
02:23Catching fish.
02:24Catching fish.
02:25Catching fish.
02:26Why are you making me look like this?
02:28I'm supposed to be catching fish.
02:29I should've just joined you.
02:32I thought you were going to give me land here.
02:38To catch fish, Romeo and his brother will use a net with a hook.
02:43I thought it's just for fish.
02:45Even for fish, there's a net?
02:47Okay, there's one here.
02:49Fish.
02:50Let's go.
02:51You go first.
02:52So if you get caught, you go first.
02:57Bro, what are the best tactics to catch fish?
03:01Fast, like that.
03:02What do you think?
03:03It's not that I'm in a hurry.
03:05I just want to see how to catch fish.
03:08Of course, we need to be quiet so that the fish won't be caught.
03:16So, the first thing to do is to be quiet.
03:20Why?
03:21Why did I join you if we need to be quiet?
03:23If we need to be quiet, it's just the number one rule.
03:26I'm already a bit tired.
03:28Enough talking, Buboy.
03:30Let's start the challenge.
03:33Do you know if there's a reason why they only play in the rain?
03:37Not in the sun?
03:38My grandfather told me that they ask for more rain.
03:45That's why they do that.
03:47Your brother should be able to answer this.
03:50Brother Kim, we should know this.
03:52Let's test it first.
03:53Let's catch one first.
03:55It looks like your nets are weak, Buboy.
03:58Do you have that?
04:00Can you stop the horn?
04:02We're catching frogs.
04:04Excuse me?
04:06I already talked to my friend.
04:10After half an hour of waiting,
04:13Oh, I saw something.
04:15There it is.
04:17That's it.
04:18You're making it hard for me.
04:19You're making it hard for me.
04:21Is it mine?
04:22Did I catch it?
04:24Where is it?
04:25Where is it?
04:29Can I catch it?
04:30Am I not going to catch it?
04:31No.
04:33Are you a cat?
04:34No, you're a frog.
04:35You're a frog.
04:36You're a frog.
04:37Where are you?
04:39Buboy is a true runner.
04:41He's really good at catching frogs.
04:44It's hard to catch it.
04:45I thought it would be hard to catch it.
04:47It's slippery.
04:50Nice one.
04:52There it is.
04:53Is it like that?
04:54Yes, it's like that.
04:56We've been here for hours,
04:57and we only caught one.
05:01Wait a minute.
05:05Let's call it Wonder.
05:08Wonder Pet.
05:14Ta-da!
05:16Do you think I passed the challenge?
05:18Yes, you did.
05:19How many have we caught so far?
05:21About 134 fish.
05:23That's not true.
05:25He's just kidding.
05:27How many are there?
05:281, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6?
05:32Six.
05:33We caught six today.
05:35But at least I caught six, right?
05:37How many do you think beginners should catch?
05:39It's hard to catch six, right?
05:40Yes, it's hard.
05:42After being caught,
05:43Buboy cleaned the last fish
05:45from Romeo's mother.
05:49Here it is.
05:51And here we are at Miabe,
05:54which is still here in Pampanga.
05:56I saw something to eat here,
05:58so we're going to cook
06:00what we caught earlier,
06:02Palacan.
06:03Not Chucera.
06:08I'm so hungry.
06:09I want a snack,
06:11and I chose Miabe
06:13for you to cook.
06:14Yes.
06:15Can we?
06:16What can we cook there?
06:17Rilleno.
06:18Rilleno?
06:19Yes.
06:20Rilleno sounds good.
06:23To make Tugak Betute or Rilleno Palaca,
06:26Risa will cook the fillings first.
06:32Is it normal here in Pampanga
06:34to cook Palaca?
06:35Yes.
06:36It's the exotic food of Pampanga.
06:40A lot of people come here
06:41because they want to experience the taste
06:44and the flavor of the fish.
06:48Right.
06:49Here in Pampanga,
06:51in other places,
06:52they throw the Palaca here.
06:54They eat it.
06:55There's no waste.
06:56There's no waste.
06:58Once it's cooked,
06:59it will be filled with Palaca.
07:02Are you going to shoot?
07:03Yes.
07:04Okay.
07:05I think I'm okay with the last one.
07:08Eight months.
07:09Okay.
07:11And you can see,
07:12the Palaca,
07:13the Palaca is being eaten again.
07:16After adding the fillings,
07:18it will be fried until golden brown.
07:23After a few minutes,
07:24the Tugak Betute is cooked.
07:29Okay, commanders.
07:31The Tugak Betute is cooked.
07:34Okay, commanders.
07:36The Tugak Betute is cooked.
07:39We caught it earlier.
07:41Let's get the biggest one.
07:44Are you ready?
07:54It's different.
07:56It's tasty.
07:57To be honest,
07:59the biggest difference is
08:01in the Tugak Betute itself.
08:03I can't eat it.
08:04If you've already tasted the Rilleno,
08:06which is really good,
08:07the Palaca is very different.
08:10How can you eat it?
08:11It's like,
08:12when you eat it,
08:15it tastes like crab.
08:16It's like that.
08:18The Tugak Betute,
08:19passed to our runner.
08:22Our fellow countrymen believe
08:24that the blessing of nature
08:26is also a blessing for them.
08:29That's why all the owners
08:30can eat and survive
08:32because what we're talking about here
08:34is the survival thing.
08:35How can our fellow countrymen
08:38survive
08:40in the calamity of their livelihood.
