00:00Our trip today is special because I will be with one of the closest people in my heart.
00:15Papa, you forgot about me!
00:17Oh no!
00:20Sorry. Let's go. Ready?
00:23Wow!
00:28We will be together on a trip with my youngest son, Primo.
00:33And we will go to a paradise if there's a saying.
00:36The view here is breathtaking.
00:38Sometimes, it's like a piece of heaven.
00:42That's why this place is close to my heart.
00:48A trip full of excitement.
00:50What did the professor say when he was being called?
00:53What?
00:54I'm dying!
00:57I can't pronounce it.
00:59Kakitan!
01:00Hello, camera.
01:02Where's the camera?
01:04I'm just talking to one behero.
01:06I'm not the most adventurous kid. Do you know who is?
01:09Who?
01:10Dora the Explorer.
01:11Dora the Explorer.
01:12And new experiences for the child and the feeling child.
01:15This one?
01:16All of them.
01:18It's a good thing that I'm free.
01:22Join us, Primo, on our trip to the tributary of Heaven on Earth, El Nido, Palawan.
01:33The activities in El Nido are not just for studying.
01:37The following tricks are also basic for them.
01:42There.
01:44Down.
01:47The 60-year-old father, Abe, grew up with calabou.
01:52That's why he's close to them, especially to his calabou, Enero.
01:57He's so close that he'll make him do tricks.
02:01Kuya, I heard that you made your calabou a dog.
02:06Yes.
02:07How did that happen? How did it start?
02:09How old is Enero?
02:10Four.
02:11Four?
02:12Four.
02:13When he was two years old, I taught him.
02:16Why did you think of teaching him?
02:18Because you wanted to have a dog.
02:20I thought of it. The dog taught me.
02:22Why didn't you teach the calabou?
02:24I just tried.
02:26Let's see if Enero can really follow his father, Abe.
02:30Good.
02:31Good.
02:34There.
02:37Good.
02:38Lie down.
02:39Lie down.
02:40Lie down.
02:41Lie down.
02:43There.
02:44There.
02:45Does he know that you're his master?
02:47Yes, he knows.
02:48Oh, he's doing that.
02:51So, let's say that I'll hold his tail and I'll try to...
02:57He'll follow you.
02:58He'll follow me.
02:59Is that the easiest trick that they can...
03:04Learn.
03:05Learn, right? Because they're called calabou.
03:10I'll just show you a trick, Father Abe.
03:12Watch carefully.
03:14You'll be amazed.
03:15Enero.
03:17Lie down.
03:18Lie down.
03:22What do you know?
03:24Did you see that?
03:26So amazing, right?
03:29Wait.
03:30To prove that it's not a trick, one more time.
03:32Lie down.
03:34Lie down like that.
03:36Here.
03:37Bend.
03:38Bend.
03:40Lie down.
03:41Lie down.
03:42I don't know.
03:44Lie down.
03:45Lie down.
03:47Lie down.
03:48Lie down.
03:51There.
03:52Very good.
03:53Lie down.
03:54Lie down.
03:55Lie down.
03:56Enero's obedience is not just up to their farm.
04:00It also marked the history of Barangay Barutuan.
04:03Because the calabou were raised in their place,
04:06it's a tradition that has been lost for decades.
04:08But this year, they tried to bring back the tradition.
04:12Of course, this is our first year trying to revive this culture and tradition.
04:18Father Abe's love for his calabou, Enero,
04:21can be compared to the love of a father to his son.
04:25It's really hard.
04:27Since I was a child,
04:29when I wake up in the morning,
04:32I make him coffee.
04:33Then, I feed him.
04:35I feed him until he grows up.
04:38That's why he's kind to me.
04:43But it's not over yet.
04:45Because the farmers and their calabou breeders
04:49are from New Ibahay.
04:52Brother Edmund and Mark ride on the back
04:55and ride on top of their calabou.
04:58How, how, calabou?
05:00My calabou, sir.
05:01He's my boss, sir.
05:02That's why my calabou is obedient.
05:04Ninety-nine percent.
05:05Calabou is easy to teach.
05:08You just have to be patient, sir.
05:09And there's discipline.
05:11Okay, let's do a sample.
05:13Brother Edmund versus Mark.
05:16Who's better at riding a calabou?
05:21Oh, if Mark rides it,
05:23it's like there's a built-in side mirror.
05:27Meanwhile, Edmund has other balancing skills.
05:31What's up, guys?
05:33Who's the chicken?
05:34This is for your calabou.
05:38Can't get enough of the cute gentle giants in El Nido.
05:41For tourists who can't afford to ride a calabou,
05:44like Edmund and Mark,
05:46there's still a chance to ride a calabou.
05:48We recommend riding a calabou
05:51because it's really fun
05:53and you might not experience it in other places.
06:00If in Manila,
06:02if the seafood is expensive,
06:04here in El Nido,
06:05even if it's lobster,
06:06it's not expensive.
06:07It's cheap.
06:09Lobster in El Nido is 1,500 pesos per kilo.
06:13While in Metro Manila,
06:14it's 4,000 pesos per kilo.
06:16It fits in your pocket.
06:17It can fit the whole family.
06:19Guys, we're here in front of the public market of El Nido
06:24because my son is interested in lobster.
06:28He hasn't seen a live lobster yet.
06:30He saw the cooked lobster
06:33and he hasn't tried the lobster yet.
06:35But now,
06:36we're here because...
06:38Are you interested to check out lobsters?
06:43That's not all.
06:44There might be other seafood that we haven't seen yet.
06:46Hello, camera.
06:48Where's the camera?
06:49I'm just talking to one animal.
06:52Let's go.
06:53Come on.
06:59What's this?
07:00No.
07:01Pusit.
07:02This one?
07:03Baby shark.
07:04Oh, pusit.
07:05Wait.
07:06Because Primo sees a lot of things,
07:08it seems like he's going crazy with my jokes.
07:13What happened?
07:14What's this?
07:15That is one of their antennas.
07:19That's it.
07:20Yeah, that's it.
07:22What did the fish say when he went to the dock?
07:25What did the fish say?
07:26When he went to the dock.
07:27What did the fish say when he went to the dock?
07:29What?
07:30I pulled a mussel.
07:31Pulled a mussel.
07:33Where did you get your jokes from?
07:36You're really mad at your dad.
07:38Sorry, Mama Ia.
07:39He's really mad at me.
07:40I knew it.
07:44If their lobsters are delicious,
07:46let's try the taste.
07:49It looks delicious.
07:52We're here at El Lido.
07:54We're near the sea.
07:55So it means that if we're near the sea,
07:57there's a bigger chance that we can get fresh lobsters
08:01or any generally fresh seafood.
08:10It's good.
08:12Steamed, but you know there's butter.
08:14Butter is always good with seafood.
08:17Totally different taste from each other.
08:20But still very yummy.
08:38If you are craving for lobster or lobster,
08:42if you are craving for lobster or lobsters,
08:47you know where to go.
08:52So, young and old,
08:54you can bond with the animals here in El Lido.
08:56There are also fruits that look like tutyal,
08:58but are unlimited on the farm.
09:01When it comes to animals,
09:04he appreciates it when he watches it on TV,
09:06when he reads it,
09:09or he sees it on the internet,
09:11or I tell him what I experienced on the trip.
09:16But you know,
09:18interacting with them up close,
09:21it's different from him.
09:24We're lucky because we got the feeding time
09:26of wild animals on a farm in El Lido.
09:29So this is how we feed the pigs.
09:31So this is the fermented fruits and vegetables from the market.
09:36And this is the water mixed with molasses.
09:39So this will serve as his food.
09:42Back time and eating time at the same time.
09:45Maybe like when I'm trying to get Leon snacks.
09:49Your brother's snacks, huh?
09:52Today is your lucky day.
09:54Bonding with pigs and goats, check!
09:57Will Primo like the vegetables and fruits here?
10:00Hey! Or, no?
10:02This is for you, this is for me.
10:05Okay, Papa first?
10:10Mmm!
10:12It's like strawberries.
10:15Mmm!
10:17Nice?
10:19It's good!
10:20It's quite good.
10:21It's quite good?
10:22It's quite good.
10:24That's what they call a mulberry,
10:26a type of berry that's abundant here in El Lido.
10:29Hey, that's for you too, some mulberry.
10:31Come on, son.
10:32You're still a kid.
10:33Let's make a gift for your siblings.
10:36Good thing it's free.
10:39So, my favorite part was feeding the goats
10:43and getting Oppa because I love Sinigang.
10:46I like feeding goats like this.
10:53How was your experience with the younger goats,
10:56the Kapirang goats?
10:57They're all like doy.
10:58Is it a pet?
10:59They're like do-doy?
11:00Doy but less crazy.
11:03Less crazy.
11:04Primo experienced those in a program in El Lido
11:07called the Earth School.
11:09Its goal is to teach kids about nature.
11:13The whole purpose of our school is to develop
11:16sustainability and creativity.
11:18And we find that those values are really felt here
11:21by our entire community in El Lido.
11:23Ever since before, when I travel,
11:26I get education and experience as a traveler.
11:29Of course, there are books,
11:30but there's nothing like experiencing it on their own.
11:36Oh.
11:38Go, go there.
11:39Go.
11:43Tung Bugtung, a princess sitting on a cup.
11:47Correct.
11:48The province of Kasuy is also famous.
11:50One of the products they make from here is
11:53Sweetened Kasuy or if they call it Bandi.
11:57I wish I could give you cashews.
12:00I'm running out.
12:01Every day, Bandi is cooked by Vanessa.
12:05She learned how to cook it from her mother.
12:07She will share with us their famous Bandi recipe.
12:11The sweetened Kasuy will be weighed one by one.
12:15It's really manual.
12:17How many pieces do you make every day?
12:19Two cans.
12:20Two cans?
12:21Yes.
12:22How big is the can?
12:23Five.
12:24Five gallons?
12:25Yes.
12:26So about 10 gallons?
12:27Yes.
12:30So after this process, what will happen?
12:33Here it is, sir.
12:34Hold it.
12:35Let's hold it.
12:36You will cut it, sir.
12:37Carefully.
12:40There.
12:41There.
12:43There.
12:44There.
12:45There.
12:46This is also a remover.
12:50After peeling and cutting each Kasuy,
12:53it will be peeled manually.
12:56This is really messy.
12:57Yes, sir.
12:58So you really need gentle hands.
13:00Let's be careful.
13:02We're done peeling.
13:03This is what we're done with.
13:05You can eat it.
13:06Some people eat it with a fork.
13:07With a fork?
13:08Yes.
13:09We need to wash it several times.
13:18And this is also manual.
13:20You will measure or spread the banana leaves for it to soak.
13:25I'm curious because my daughter, Primo,
13:27loves cashew butter.
13:29Yes.
13:30I don't know if she will like this,
13:33but I will let her try it.
13:34Okay, sir.
13:36Primo's taste test in Bandi.
13:37Stay tuned.
13:40Just like Kasuy,
13:41this local dish is also popular in Barotuan.
13:46It's easy to make,
13:47and it's easy to eat.
13:48What?
13:50Half of the bread.
13:51Half of the bread.
13:53Buy it.
13:54Half of the bread.
13:57Ma'am, do you have half of the bread?
13:59Yes.
14:00This is delicious.
14:02I'm hungry.
14:05Open it, sir.
14:07It's there.
14:08It's hot.
14:09It's still hot.
14:10It's fresh.
14:16Sir.
14:19What kind of bread is this?
14:20This is what I'm going to eat.
14:23That's what I said.
14:24It's bread.
14:26It's hot.
14:27It's hot.
14:28It's bread.
14:31Sorry.
14:32It's still early in the morning.
14:35It's bread.
14:37You made me feel dizzy.
14:41I'm sorry.
14:42Just taste it.
14:43You'll get rid of your anger on me
14:45if you taste that fresh bread.
14:48There.
14:50Here.
14:52You're so stubborn.
14:54Right?
14:55Is it good?
14:56Let me show you the bread.
14:59Is it good?
15:03Stubborn.
15:07It's not just bread.
15:09This bread is made by Violeta.
15:11It's so good.
15:12It's crazy good.
15:14I can finish it in an hour.
15:17Because I have a lot of vegetables.
15:20She's familiar with Barangay Barutuan.
15:23It's more delicious if you cook it with bread.
15:27We'll give it a try.
15:29The leaves of the batuan are boiled until it's fine
15:31along with different spices and spices.
15:34It's added with coconut.
15:36And it's wrapped in leaves of gabi.
15:39It's boiled for up to 5 hours
15:41so that the taste will be more intense.
15:47It's good.
15:48It looks like laing.
15:51But it's not.
15:52What I taste is very gingery.
15:56There's a lot of ginger.
15:58Maybe you should add more chili.
16:03Add more coconut milk.
16:05It might look like a super saiyan line.
16:09On our trip to El Dido,
16:10the local products of Provincia are approved by our parents,
16:13especially my son.
16:18Okay.
16:19We try this first.
16:21Apparently, this is what they call chowloon.
16:24I think because the noodles are long.
16:26Chowlong.
16:28The long noodles.
16:30Okay?
16:31Okay.
16:32Here.
16:34I'm on camera.
16:36No, it's just rolling.
16:37It's okay.
16:39It looks like I'm passing through my son's delaying tactics.
16:44Let's find out why these Vietnamese noodles are famous in Palawan.
16:49My proud brother, Micaela,
16:52loves chowlong,
16:54a localized version of Vietnamese Pho.
16:56Because of his love for it,
16:58he built his own restaurant.
17:00I hope all.
17:01We love chowlong so much.
17:03We have a lot of vegetables.
17:05There are tourists who come back here to eat chowlong.
17:10Chowlong is famous in Palawan because of the Vietnamese refugees.
17:15But this is equivalent to goto in the Philippines.
17:19But these noodles are not really called chowlong.
17:24This is called banh cam.
17:26In general, they call noodles pho.
17:30But the particular rice noodles are called banh cam.
17:34You're too much, Primo.
17:36This is your favorite.
17:38It's pho.
17:40Okay.
17:43How does it taste?
17:44What does it taste like?
17:45It's sweet and garlicky.
17:47Sweet?
17:48Garlicky?
17:49It's like...
17:50It's like mami.
17:51Like that.
17:52Beef mami.
17:53Chicken mami.
17:54When it rains.
17:56Okay.
17:57What else do you want to try?
18:01You want to try this one?
18:02Yeah.
18:03Okay.
18:04Primo was targeting one of your favorite foods.
18:09I want this.
18:10This is what you like.
18:12Delish.
18:13You said it was delishioso.
18:16Can I get some?
18:17You want to get some?
18:18This one?
18:24Tastes fishy.
18:28This one, you want to try?
18:29What's that?
18:30This is daing natakong.
18:32Daing?
18:33Yeah.
18:34Oh, no.
18:35Okay.
18:36Just take a small piece.
18:38Small piece.
18:39Just take a bite.
18:40All of it?
18:47I'm not a fan.
18:48Yeah.
18:49Not a fan.
18:50Yep.
18:51Sorry.
18:52Yeah.
18:54Well, we really have different tastes.
18:56Because when it comes to other locals and tourists...
18:58It's delicious, sir.
18:59It's delicious.
19:00It's fishy.
19:01Vanessa and I made a fishy bandi.
19:04Primo will taste it.
19:06This is what we cooked.
19:09Bandi.
19:10Pandi?
19:11No, no, no.
19:12There's brief and there's pandi.
19:16And cashew butter.
19:17So, this is sugar and cashew.
19:19Here, big piece.
19:22Hallelujah.
19:23Wow.
19:26Just to balance it out.
19:28I'll eat on my right.
19:31Okay.
19:32Which would you want to take home?
19:34For Pasalubong?
19:36For the Ates?
19:37And Mama?
19:38And your siblings?
19:40This is for the Ates.
19:42That's for Mama.
19:44Or my sibling.
19:47This is for Mama.
19:48Maybe just one.
19:49You have three siblings.
19:50But one sibling only?
19:52No, like all of it.
19:53All of it.
19:54Okay.
19:55Good job, ma'am.
19:58Okay.
19:59Good job, ma'am.
20:01It's not just in my food that Primo wants to be an adventurer.
20:04There's also the water activity.
20:06How is Primo in swimming in the water of El Nido?
20:09In 45 islands and islets of El Nido,
20:12you won't run out of choices.
20:14And the perfect family bonding?
20:16Of course, snorkeling.
20:19One of the reasons why El Nido is one of our favorite places to visit
20:24is because it's not just convenient to come here for a swim.
20:29You can already find accommodation or resort here.
20:34Of course, people already know that El Nido is full of islets and islands
20:42that I guess are for all ages.
20:45You'll see here that this is one island or islet that people go to.
20:52It's called Shimizu Island.
20:54It's one of the many El Nido-Taytay managed resource protected areas.
21:01The waters of Palawan, they're really known to be very clear.
21:07Actually, the color is a bit teal.
21:10And for me, in the Philippines,
21:12there's still no defeat in the clarity of the waters of Palawan.
21:17One of the things that I teach my kids is how to swim.
21:22Swim, swim.
21:45Good thing he enjoyed the colorful fish under the boat.
21:52Hi!
22:01Hi!
22:02Hi!
22:09Kuya, how's your experience in the open water?
22:11The best.
22:12Scared and excited.
22:15What did you enjoy the most?
22:17Seeing the fish.
22:18And looking at the water.
22:23I see all those primos, dad.
22:28A lot of firsts in this trip,
22:30which is a good thing and one of the reasons why I invited him.
22:34For them, it's play, right?
22:36And if they're learning while playing, then it's worth it.
22:42Just like Primo's taste of different foods that are unfamiliar to him,
22:45this spot in El Nido is also challenging.
22:49But it's a challenge accepted for their grandparents,
22:52who climbed this.
22:54Can a BND team do it?
22:59How much we have to walk to get to the top of the rock,
23:02it's almost 10 meters before we reach the top of the bridge.
23:13In just a week, they have to climb the rocks.
23:16It's easy.
23:20Next, they have to climb the hanging bridge, which is 50 meters long and 30 feet high.
23:26Sir, why did you leave me here?
23:31They have to climb 200 meters more before they reach the peak.
23:34But because they put improvised paths and steps,
23:38it will be easier to climb.
23:41After 15 minutes and 82 breaths per second,
23:44this is what we climbed.
23:53It's advisable for exercise.
23:56I thought I couldn't do it, but I did it.
23:59It's an exciting experience.
24:01Even though they're 12 years old, they did it.
24:04We did it, even though it's a little scary.
24:07But the breathtaking view is really worth it.
24:13Worth it, we can say.
24:15From here, you can see Bacuit Bay, the largest marine sanctuary in the Philippines.
24:22You always say, Papa, can I come with you?
24:25Right now, are you happy that you're with Papa in front of the camera?
24:30No.
24:33Tragic.
24:35No, really?
24:36Yeah.
24:37Yeah?
24:38Because I'm so proud of you because you tried so many stuff.
24:42What's your favorite part of the trip?
24:44That I get to be with Papa.
24:47Okay, that's pretty sweet.
24:48Of course, when you're with your son, it's fun.
24:50Especially when your cousin is old,
24:54he has a lot of knowledge, a lot of things to say,
24:56and he's very spongy.
24:57You can learn a lot from him.
24:59There's teasing, there's...
25:02Sometimes...
25:06Being unpredictable.
25:07But that's part of the fun.
25:08That's part of traveling with kids, you know?
25:11And there's nothing like having, you know, alone time,
25:15like one-on-one with them.
25:17Do you want to go on a trip with your dad?
25:22No.
25:23Okay, good. Thank you.
25:25I love traveling alone.
25:26And I love traveling with Papa.
25:29Traveling with kids is extra challenging.
25:33But in these times,
25:34we remember to be with them,
25:36we make memories,
25:38that we and our parents will bring along
25:41until we grow old.
