Transcript
00:00On December 4, 2012, our country was hit by the strongest typhoon of that year, the Typhoon Pablo.
00:21We were scared because it was dangerous.
00:24The clouds were falling. There were bananas and trees.
00:29When I was young, I had never experienced such a strong typhoon.
00:35Everything we had here was destroyed by the Typhoon Pablo.
00:58We lost hope, but with God's mercy, we were able to get back on our feet.
01:14In fact, some of those families that had no home before Pablo,
01:18they saw it as a blessing in disguise because now they have a home.
01:24Tonight, we will go to a province that is not usually visited by the people of Mindanao.
01:31A province that was hit by a typhoon, but was sustained by a tragedy.
01:36We will go to a province that is not usually visited by the people of Mindanao.
01:53Are you coming with me?
01:56We will go to a province that is not usually visited by the people of Mindanao.
01:59Mindanao, Mindanao
02:04This place looks far from the stories of the people of 2012.
02:10In 2016, four years after the Typhoon Pablo,
02:16came the journey of Drew.
02:18You should wear this.
02:30A place full of hope.
02:32There is no end to the tragedy.
02:34They are the Mandaya tribe.
02:38This is a dance of welcome from the former tribe of Mandaya,
02:41the first people to live in the Davao Oriental.
02:45Mandaya means the people who live next to the river.
02:48The Katiel is in front of the Pacific Ocean.
02:59This monument was a reminder of the tragedy that happened to the people of Katiel.
03:04It is only two years old.
03:06This is the Typhoon Pablo Memorial Shrine,
03:10made by the great Kublai, who is actually from Davao.
03:15As you can see, you can see a family.
03:18A family, the father is trying to hold a tree
03:23so that it will not hit the mother and two children.
03:26Apparently, this was a real image or setting that happened in 2012 when the Typhoon Pablo came.
03:34They made this shrine to remember the people who went through hardship.
03:41And from hardship, there is no direction but up.
03:57Alright, first I was sketchy because we reached 6 hours from Davao Airport to Katiel.
04:05This is our first location actually.
04:08I was impressed little by little.
04:14Aliwagwag Falls, ladies and gentlemen.
04:19It's big, right?
04:21Is there such a place in the Philippines?
04:23Is there such a place in the Philippines?
04:27Let's go up.
04:29Presenting the so-called longest cascading waterfalls in the Philippines.
04:34This is Aliwagwag Falls.
04:37It is 1,110 feet above sea level.
04:42From the road, you can see and hear this falls.
04:46Truly magnificent.
04:51They call this Stairway to Heaven
04:54because of the 136 waterfalls that follow from the top of the mountain.
05:01One of the damages of the Typhoon Pablo was the trees surrounding Aliwagwag.
05:07That's why the number of tourists decreased in 2013.
05:11But after 3 years,
05:12they're back and they're booming.
05:18Eco Park is really well built.
05:20It was really spent.
05:22World class.
05:24Nice tables and chairs.
05:26Nice floor, tiles.
05:29Look at that.
05:30Nice piece of artwork.
05:32Impressive.
05:33Very impressive.
05:35Wow.
05:37According to the local tourism office,
05:39the number of tourists visiting Aliwagwag is now reaching 7,000 a week.
05:44There is no way but up.
05:47Because of the beauty of the falls,
05:49if you want to jump and have fun,
05:52you have to go to Aliwagwag Falls.
05:55It's a must-visit place.
05:57It's a must-visit place.
05:59It's a must-visit place.
06:01It's a must-visit place.
06:02Because of the beauty of the falls,
06:04if you want to jump and have fun in this water,
06:07you have to go to the top of Mount Aliwagwag.
06:11Swimming and jumping are prohibited in the higher part of the falls.
06:16But don't worry,
06:18because they have a pool area in the foot of the falls.
06:21That's why I jumped into the water to have fun.
06:24It's cold.
06:31It's cold.
06:41But in the cold water,
06:43there are things to do here.
06:45My spot in Aliwagwag is instagram-perfect.
06:55If you want more excitement,
06:57go up a little more and cross this man-made bridge.
07:06You will reach what they call the Monkey Bridge.
07:16This is the closest you can get to the famous falls here.
07:25Make sure you have your trekking shoes or sandals
07:29because it's hard to walk on this bridge.
07:41And to get dry from the chilling water of Aliwagwag,
07:44let's zip-line.
07:46Of course, the view of the Aliwagwag River is awesome
07:49that it originates from this beautiful falls.
07:54Let's go!
08:16Nice!
08:18Like what we said,
08:2011 years ago when he drank beer,
08:22it's smooth.
08:25Next,
08:27a one-of-a-kind seafood sampling,
08:30Davao-Oriental style.
08:33And an off-the-beaten track that we will visit.
08:39What? You're coming with me?
08:43What? You're coming with me?
08:47Another one for the book.
08:48Another one for the books,
08:50our Aliwagwag Waterfalls Experience.
08:53And the activities that are related to it.
08:56Awesome!
09:04And since it's getting late,
09:06I'm going back to the town proper of Catil
09:09to cook our dinner,
09:11their local lobster,
09:13Banagan.
09:15For us in Manila,
09:16the price of a lobster is Php 5,000.
09:18Here, it's only Php 600 to Php 750,
09:21depending on the size.
09:23But the taste is different.
09:25To prepare the lobster,
09:27I sautéed garlic and onion,
09:29long pepper,
09:31and added the banagan.
09:39I poured a glass of clear soda
09:42and salt.
09:43Then I covered it and let it cook for 5 to 10 minutes.
09:47The sweet and chili banagan is now cooked.
10:03You know,
10:05if you're looking for pork,
10:07lechon,
10:09hay,
10:10or kulot,
10:12it depends.
10:14If it's fresh, no problem.
10:16The lobster is fresh.
10:18Actually, the lobster they offer here is a different kind.
10:21This is what they call
10:23banagan.
10:25Banagan.
10:27Banagan.
10:29Anyway,
10:31let's try it.
10:38Shit!
10:40Because when it's fresh,
10:42the crustaceans,
10:48it's effortless.
10:50Effortless.
10:52Mmm.
10:54Mmm.
10:55Mmm.
10:56Mmm.
11:01Mmm.
11:02Mmm.
11:08Even if you change the name of the lobster,
11:11it's still different.
11:13This is the offspring of a lobster,
11:15cousin,
11:17you know,
11:18if it looks like this,
11:19the texture is still the same.
11:21That's what you're looking for,
11:23the texture.
11:25Very crunchy,
11:27very succulent,
11:28juicy.
11:30And it depends on how you cook it.
11:32If you add clear soft drink,
11:34you know what I mean?
11:36To sweeten it.
11:38If you add ginger,
11:40if you add a little bit of this.
11:42It's up to you.
11:44But what's really important,
11:46is fresh.
11:47And this one,
11:49is
11:51not fresh.
11:53It's not fresh.
11:54It's very fresh.
11:56There.
11:58Let's do it again.
12:18Mmm.
12:19Mmm.
12:20Mmm.
12:21Mmm.
12:22Mmm.
12:23Mmm.
12:29Madayaw na temprano, Katil!
12:34The people of this place are very active in farming.
12:37But the typhoons that hit here in 2012 were still strong.
12:41That's why the Katilenyos
12:43are looking for alternative jobs.
12:47This is Mang Exiquias.
12:49He suddenly became a tricycle driver after the typhoon.
12:52The people who live here in Kuan, in Katihel,
12:56our house was destroyed.
12:59No one was left behind.
13:01But in the mercy of God,
13:03in my own effort,
13:05I was able to survive.
13:07I was able to own a car like this tricycle.
13:11In Kuansangbagyo,
13:13we lost hope.
13:14But in the mercy of God,
13:16we were able to survive.
13:20We were able to find a way to live.
13:31Mang Exiquias was one of the thousands of people
13:34who were given a house
13:36from the various helpers in Katihel in 2012.
13:41You can even see
13:42how the housing projects here are color-coordinated.
13:47I'm now with Olan,
13:49another Katilenyo who witnessed the change in his hometown.
13:54You can see that all the houses here are new.
13:58And mixed in here,
14:00the others were given...
14:02U.S. Aid.
14:03Yes, U.S. Aid.
14:04The other houses...
14:06The other houses here were given by non-government organizations.
14:10The other houses were given by the government,
14:14the so-called MSAP,
14:16Modified Shelter Assistance Program.
14:18For some,
14:20especially the families who didn't have a house before,
14:23it was like...
14:24Of course, it was a victory.
14:26Yes, because they had a new house.
14:29But for others,
14:31they saw the typhoon Pablo
14:33as a beautiful disaster.
14:40Olan will take me to another famous falls here,
14:43Mahanob Falls.
14:45It's only a 5-10 minute walk from Bukid.
14:48So, let's go!
14:49Even though it's a bit white.
14:54Like the other falls that are off the beaten path,
14:56it's free to go here.
14:58It's good to have a guide with you,
15:00or in my case,
15:01a local.
15:11So,
15:13this part of the Philippines,
15:16you're lucky when it's rainy season
15:18because the water pressure in the waterfalls is high.
15:21But,
15:22I mean,
15:25the feeling that I get
15:27when I'm close to the waterfalls
15:29is just,
15:30you know,
15:31I don't know,
15:32soothing,
15:33relaxing.
15:34I don't know if it's the sound
15:36that when you're close,
15:37you hear the sound of the water,
15:39or when you get there,
15:41it's the beautiful side of the water,
15:43and then,
15:44the sun hits you,
15:46or you feel the shock,
15:49not from the sky,
15:51but the shock
15:53of the water
15:55smashing you
15:56from below.
15:57I mean,
15:58these are the factors that
16:01experiencing any type of waterfall,
16:03don't get me wrong,
16:05any type of waterfall,
16:07nice waterfalls,
16:08it's just,
16:11you won't forget it.
16:12It's going to be there in your memory, guys.
16:15Beautiful.
16:17There, I said it.
16:18It's really beautiful to see.
16:21We're two for two
16:22in the beautiful falls of Catiila.
16:32When you go down the falls,
16:33one of your pots is ready.
16:35It's ready.
16:36The red banana
16:37that we call
16:39Morawo.
16:40Imagine,
16:44we're experiencing
16:45a different
16:46variety
16:48of banana.
16:49They call it
16:50Morawo.
16:53It's the favorite food of birds.
16:56What's Morawin?
17:07I don't know if
17:09it really looks like that
17:10when it's ripe
17:11or
17:12it looks like that
17:13when it's really ripe.
17:14From what I can taste,
17:15it's a bit
17:20overripe.
17:22Which means, it's sweet.
17:24Which means,
17:26this banana cake is delicious.
17:33Up ahead,
17:34we are going
17:35under the sea.
17:39And we'll taste
17:40different kinds of food
17:41when we return
17:42to
17:43Catiil.
17:45Where's Tilapia?
17:48What's that?
17:49That's Padpad to us.
17:50Padpad?
17:51Yes.
17:52Just Padpad and you got caught?
17:53Padpad.

19:27Typhoon Pablo
19:28in 2012.
19:29Everything we have here

19:31by Typhoon Pablo.
19:34The churches,
19:35the houses,
19:37even the trees
19:40and the houses
19:41around here
19:42were all destroyed.
19:44According to Olan,
19:45the monument of Rizal
19:46was the only one
19:47left standing
19:48when the typhoon hit.
19:49In Catiil,
19:50we can say
19:51that we are
19:52one of the
19:53very resilient
19:54people on earth.
19:56Three years
19:57have passed
19:58since that typhoon.
20:00As you can see,
20:01we got up
20:02to continue
20:03our journey.
20:11Another destination
20:12for the locals here
20:13is Baybay ng Mahok.
20:16It's said that
20:17this place is famous
20:18among the youth
20:19and also
20:20among the local stories.
20:24According to the stories,
20:26this cove is said
20:27to bring life.
20:33No matter how strong
20:34the typhoon is,
20:35for sure,
20:36no matter how good
20:37you swim,
20:38you'll have a hard time here.
20:41That's where
20:42the Pacific Ocean is.
20:44Guys,
20:45the typhoons
20:46get weaker
20:47every month of October
20:48until April.
20:51Alright, guys,
20:52we're here
20:53at Mahok Cove.
20:56Usually,
20:57during the summer,
20:58the locals
20:59swim here.
21:00But
21:01this is not yet
21:02summer.
21:03It's still
21:04the rainy season
21:05so the waves
21:06are quite strong.
21:07As you can see,
21:08I'm not sure
21:09how tall the wave is
21:10but look at that.
21:13See, I'm no surfer
21:14but
21:15it looks like
21:16it's a good place
21:17to surf.
21:19Plus,
21:20look at the sand.
21:22Very clear.
21:25It's not
21:26powdery white
21:27like Boracay
21:28but it's still
21:29very fine.
21:31Ah!
21:36It's muddy.
21:43The fishermen
21:44also noticed
21:45that the waves
21:46are not getting bigger
21:47because of the wind.
21:49Dennis,
21:50a fisherman,
21:51said that
21:52he learned a lot
21:53from the Typhoon Pablo
21:54in 2012.
21:55The waves
21:56are not getting bigger
21:57because of the wind
21:58because it's very dangerous.
22:00What happened
22:01was that
22:02I experienced
22:03the impact
22:04of the typhoon
22:05and I was
22:06trying to protect
22:07my family.
22:08I was here
22:09in my house
22:10protecting
22:11because
22:12we didn't
22:13experience
22:14the typhoon
22:15that strong.
22:16What the
22:17Typhoon Pablo
22:18did
22:19was that
22:20all of our
22:21livelihoods
22:22such as
22:23cattle
22:24and our
22:25sea life
22:26were destroyed
22:27by the typhoon
22:29With God's mercy,
22:30my family was safe
22:31and I was able
22:32to get my vehicle
22:33back.
22:35My livelihood
22:36was okay
22:37and I was able
22:38to extend
22:39my knowledge
22:41I was able
22:42to try
22:43farming
22:44and plant rice.
22:51I was not able
22:52to go to Pisao

25:26a drunk shrimp.
25:28It's like a drunk shrimp, sir.
25:31It's good because
25:33when we eat crab,
25:35we only eat a small amount
25:36because
25:37we grill it.
25:38At least, this.
25:39You eat the whole thing.
25:40It's a win.
25:41This.
25:42That's a tuay.
25:43Tuay.
25:44Yes.
25:45Shell.
25:46It's a shellfish, right?
25:47Yes.
25:48It's like an adobo.
25:49It's an adobo.
25:54Mmm.
25:59It's good.
26:01It's an adobo.
26:02And there's also
26:03what's it called?
26:04Kinilaw.
26:05Kinilaw.
26:08I'm sure kinilaw is good, too.
26:09But
26:11the way it's cooked
26:13is different.
26:14It's like an adobo.
26:16It's good.
26:17There's onion,
26:18there's ginger
26:19to prolong the flavor.
26:20Yes.
26:21This is good.
26:22This is good.
26:24I'll just get some rice.
26:26This.
26:31Bukgay.
26:32Okay.
26:33This is how you eat it.
26:35Ah, yes.
26:36You need the fish.
26:37There.
26:40Mmm.
26:41Okay.
26:44This.
26:46I'll get this.
26:47Yes.
26:48I'll get it.
26:50This.
26:51Bukgay.
26:54This is removed, right?
26:55Yes.
26:56This is what it looks like.
26:57Ah, it's like...
26:59It's like a foot.
27:00It's hard to understand.
27:01There.
27:13It's good, too.
27:14It's good.
27:17It's from Nipa, sir.
27:18It tastes like land.
27:22It's from Nipa, sir.
27:23It's the most delicious land.
27:24Yes, it's delicious.
27:25It's delicious.
27:26This, this, this, this.
27:27It's like a lot of small fish.
27:29That's what we caught.
27:31Ah, you caught it.
27:32Yes.
27:33Deep-fried, too?
27:34Yes.
27:35It also depends on how you cook it.
27:36It can be paksu.
27:37Paksu.
27:39Sabaw.
27:40But if you deep-fry it,
27:41it will taste the same, right?
27:42Yes.
27:43Mmm.
27:46Okay, let's try it.
27:52It's good.
27:56Pad, pad.
28:02It tastes like tilapia.
28:05What's that?
28:06It's pad, pad for us.
28:07Pad, pad?
28:08Yes.
28:09We caught a pad, pad fish.
28:10Pad, pad.
28:12Pad, pad fish.
28:15It's delicious.
28:17It's the winner.
28:19I'm going to finish this.
28:21Banisil.
28:22Yes.
28:26It's the same.
28:27It's the same.
28:28What's that?
28:29I'm going to eat it.
28:30Mmm.
28:31Go ahead.
28:34Oh, so you're just eating the juice?
28:36Yes.
28:38There's meat inside.
28:39There's meat inside, too.
28:40There's meat inside.
28:41There's meat inside, too.
28:42There's meat inside, too.
28:43There's meat inside, too.
28:57Salty.
29:03Let's put it back.
29:06There.
29:07Oh, I forgot.
29:11There.
29:16It tastes like mushroom.
29:19It tastes like mushroom.
29:30This is delicious.
29:32This is delicious.
29:36It's still alive.
29:41It's still alive.
29:49Why did you dump steroids on this?
29:52This is called wabang.
29:55Wabang.
29:56Wabang.
29:57It's like it has a bigger head.
29:59It's really small.
30:01Why does it look like it has ...
30:03It's different from pasayan.
30:05That's the name?
30:07Pasayan.
30:08Yeah, that's wabang.
30:09Well,
30:11same shrimp?
30:12Yes, same.
30:13Same taste?
30:14Yes.
30:16But the head is bigger.
30:18Let's try the bigger head.
30:27Beautiful.
30:29Buko?
30:30No.
30:31No.
30:32Fruit of Nipa.
30:34Fruit of Nipa.
30:35Yes.
30:36Is that what it looks like?
30:38Yes.
30:39Thank you, bro.
30:42So, what does it taste like?
30:43Try it, sir.
30:44That's enough.
30:49There.
30:50It's okay, ma'am.
30:52The texture is like a buko.
30:54Yes.
30:58The taste is like a buko.
31:01Only the shape is different.
31:08Some are crispy, some are soft.
31:11Yes.
31:12And because they also added milk,
31:16or sweetened milk,
31:21is it more expensive than a buko?
31:22It's harder to get, right?
31:24It's easy to get, sir.
31:25It's easy to get.
31:28It's good.
31:29It's like there are a lot of fruits.
31:31Yes, a lot.
31:32A lot of fruits.
31:33That's cheaper, sir.
31:34That's cheaper?
31:35Buko is more expensive.
31:37Aside from the various local delicacies of Catil,
31:40Can I eat this?
31:41Yes, sir.
31:44Mr. Lechon is present.
31:50Read it first.
31:51Read it first.
32:03Catilenos can make lechon whenever there's a party.
32:08Even if it's just a simple dish.
32:21How's that?
32:24We have found buko in Davao Oriental.
32:29Don't be silly.
32:30It's just silly.
32:31Or shall I say chilly?
32:41It's good.
32:42This is the best palakan I've ever eaten.
32:46It's good.
32:47Wow.
32:49What?
32:50Are you coming with me?
32:53What?
32:54Are you coming with me?
33:07We're not yet done with our trip to Catil.
33:10And guess what?
33:11They still have hidden falls.
33:15Third time's a charm in Tres Marias Falls.
33:19If you're planning to have a picnic or an overnight stay here,
33:22it's a must.
33:29It's great to see that after three years,
33:31like all the people here,
33:32it's back to normal.
33:33And it's even more lively after the strongest storm that hit them.
33:42Just like Ms. Wilbur, a farmer.
33:45He plants chili and falcata to make plywood.
33:48But before the storm hits,
33:50he plants corn and rice.
33:58We're scared because it's dangerous.
34:01There's corn and salt.
34:04The corn is the only thing that falls.
34:10The corn is the only thing that falls.
34:12And the bananas.
34:14The house is broken.
34:17And the corn is full of wood.
34:20We plant chili, corn, and rice
34:25so that we have something to live on.
34:29Is it easy to grow chili plants?
34:34Four months.
34:35Just four months?
34:36Yes.
34:37And then you can plant anywhere?
34:38Yes.
34:39How do you know if it's ripe?
34:42If it's red.
34:45But I've seen it in restaurants,
34:47they mix it with green.
34:48Why is it like that?
34:49No.
34:50It just needs to be red?
34:51Yes, red.
34:52So this is okay?
34:53No.
34:54What else?
34:55This is rejected.
34:56Rejected?
34:57Yes, it's broken.
34:58Oh, it's broken.
35:00Instead of planting rice or corn,
35:03which takes up to half a year before it's ripe,
35:05Manny became an alternative for other farmers,
35:07like Mang Wilbor, to plant chili plants
35:09because it grows fast.
35:11Since 2012, Mang Wilbor has been planting chili plants
35:14and he brings his chili plants to the field.
35:19Once the chili plants are ripe,
35:21he will plant them for two to three days.
35:27And then he will pick them to grind and make powder.
35:36Once the powder is done,
35:38he can bring it to the packaging.
35:40This is perfect for serving!
35:44Let's taste how spicy they call it
35:47Hot Pablo or Dumang.
35:53If there is a sauce or actually a condiment
35:56that I can add to all my food
36:00aside from lechon sauce,
36:03chili powder or chili oil.
36:05Okay, let's go with chili powder
36:06because we're featuring chili powder.
36:09It's my first time trying it in a Chinese restaurant.
36:12I was like, hey, chili powder!
36:14He added it to rice,
36:15he added it to sweet and sour chuchu,
36:17he added it to fried wonton,
36:19he added it to my delicious mango juice or mango shake.
36:23Let's ask ourselves,
36:25what are the foods that go well with chili powder?
36:29Is it true that whatever I eat,
36:31that has chili powder,
36:33it's a good thing that I have my crew with me.
36:38Seriously, that's really hardworking.
36:42Just hanging.
36:45Ray, Mong, and our researcher, Shane.
36:50No.
36:51This is what I said earlier.
36:53I said, I think chili powder
36:56can be added to all kinds of food.
37:00Do I have a point here?
37:02I just want to know,
37:03in the foods that we're featuring today,
37:06in your taste,
37:07does it go with chili powder?
37:09Assuming that it has chili powder.
37:13I don't know what chili is.
37:15Huh?
37:16I don't know what it is.
37:17Just try it.
37:18Just try it.
37:20There.
37:21Is that okay?
37:22Okay.
37:23What kind of question is that?
37:24How do I prove it?
37:25You're saying a lot of things.
37:27Just put it there.
37:29Oh, it's super spicy.
37:33Okay, Mong.
37:36Okay.
37:37Okay.
37:38Okay.
37:39There.
37:42This is crazy.
37:45There's no magic.
37:58It's a bit spicy.
38:00This is the new suman.
38:01Suman chili.
38:05There.
38:06There.
38:08Let's try the chili in cassava,
38:10or in kamote kahoy.
38:12What are we doing here?
38:13Let's eat.
38:14Let's eat.
38:16There.
38:17We were right.
38:18Chili and cassava
38:19don't seem to go well together.
38:22We should drink this first, right?
38:24Yes, it's super spicy.
38:27Cheers, sir.
38:28Cheers.
38:30It's good.
38:33I didn't know you could say that here.
38:35We're not the only ones who say that here, right?
38:37Yes.
38:39Why did you put the barbeque here?
38:48For our main entree,
38:50presenting the ginataang rat-rat.
38:53Ginataang rat-rat.
38:55It's not a rat.
39:00It's a grasshopper.
39:01There.
39:03You know what?
39:12It tastes like luchon.
39:13It's because of the tamarind.
39:15It's delicious.
39:26It's good.
39:28It's good.
39:30Wow.
39:32This is probably the most delicious grasshopper I've ever eaten.
39:36It's good.
39:37Wow.
39:38It's a winner.
39:48In my visit to the province of Lampang,
39:50I learned a lot.
39:53In my visit to the province of Katihil,
39:55I saw that this town has a lot of potential to become a tourist destination.
40:00It's true that there was almost no typhoon Pablo in 2012.
40:04In Katihil, I was able to prove that sometimes,
40:07a trip is not just about the destination.
40:10It's not just the place,
40:11it's the people who live here that make a place beautiful.
40:15As the Katihilenos say,
40:17Padayong Ngani Kamo.
40:20See you next week, travelers.
40:22See you next week, travelers.
40:53In the next episode...
41:01They also call it a birdhouse.
41:04A house with a bird that lives in it.
