00:00Once upon a time, there was a desert in the middle of the island where all you can see is sand.
00:14Sand here, sand there, sand everywhere.
00:24But who would have thought that a few decades later, from the desert,
00:30a very rich and progressive city was formed.
00:37The houses here now have buildings and are even futuristic.
00:44While the way of life is very rich.
00:48That's why it's called the Playground of the Rich and Famous.
00:53What kind of car is that?
00:54It's a car made of amphibian.
00:56Wow, it's a car that can also go to the sea.
00:59And this country has a very strong connection with our Filipinos.
01:04Because this is also where hundreds of thousands of our countrymen choose to settle.
01:10In the hope that they can experience a more peaceful life here.
01:15Welcome to Palacero!
01:18Our trip today is to the highest level.
01:21This is really high, guys.
01:23In the city of superlatives of the United Arab Emirates or UAE.
01:32Where you can see the most eye-catching.
01:36From the top of the Burj Khalifa here in Dubai.
01:46The most expensive.
01:48Each of these gold bars is priced at 4.4 million pesos.
01:54Because there are 50, 220 to 222 million pesos.
02:00All of it.
02:02And the most luxurious.
02:04So I would say this is 5 million pesos.
02:07More, more.
02:08Madam, let's go home.
02:12We will also go on wild adventures from the big city.
02:18To the desert.
02:21Oh my God!
02:22It doesn't have brakes!
02:24Oh my God!
02:28We want to stay alive.
02:29Sir Mad?
02:30We will be alive.
02:35Come on.
02:36Ouch!
02:37Oh my God!
02:43I'm nervous.
02:44I think this is a bit wild for me.
02:46Oh yeah, it's heart-shaped now.
02:48Kapuso.
02:49Yeah, Kapuso mo Jessica Soho.
02:52Two hands, two hands down.
02:53Okay.
02:54And lean back.
03:01Now in 2024, as part of the upcoming 20th anniversary of Kapuso mo Jessica Soho.
03:09Our team moved to the first opportunity in the Middle East.
03:15And here in Hello Love, Dubai.
03:24A few hours from Manila, our team arrived at one of the cities or emirates of UAE, Dubai.
03:33Here, you will think that you are still in the Philippines.
03:36Wherever you look, there are Filipinos.
03:40The first stop in our Dubai adventure is considered one of its icons or symbols.
03:48This is the only tallest building in the world.
03:52The unparalleled 2,717 feet Burj Khalifa.
03:58Burj Khalifa has 163 floors.
04:02With its many windows, it will take 3 months to clean all of this.
04:11To reach the top of the world's tallest building, we will ride the fastest elevator in the world.
04:1810 meters per second.
04:20So we are not far from the 66th floor.
04:25So we are not far from the 62nd floor.
04:31Your ears will really pop.
04:33Okay, so we are on the 125th floor.
04:36Just like that.
04:37Hello everyone.
04:38Okay, hello.
04:39Here we go, we are in the highest building in the world.
04:43It's so high.
04:49It's like a miracle in the desert.
04:56828 meters.
04:59160 levels.
05:02This is the tallest building and tallest man-made structure in the world.
05:09The Empire State Building in New York has been abandoned for a long time.
05:15The Petronas Tower in Malaysia.
05:17From this vantage point, you can see its highlight.
05:21From this vantage point, you can see its highlight.
05:23That's the white needle point that lights up.
05:29Inside Burj Khalifa, there are observation decks, hotels, and residential units or condos.
05:37How much do we pay if we want to stay here?
05:39Actually, Ma'am, when the Burj Khalifa opened, 48 hours.
05:43The Burj Khalifa residence was sold out just only in 48 hours.
05:47Wow, they have a lot of money.
05:48Exactly.
05:49Ma'am, can you give us an idea?
05:50How much?
05:51It's approximately 500,000.
05:55U.S. Dollars?
05:56U.S. Dollars.
05:57Let's go to the lotto so we can live here.
06:00They started this building in 2004.
06:04By 2010, they officially opened it.
06:08There are a lot of Filipino workers who work here.
06:12Hello, hello, hello, hi.
06:14We also met a lot of Filipinos who work here.
06:18Wow, you're so lucky.
06:20Your job is to knock on the tallest structure in the world.
06:25How do you feel about that?
06:27It's a privilege to be here and representing as a Filipino.
06:31And also, it feels like home because there are a lot of Filipinos here.
06:34Here in Burj Khalifa, you raised the status of the Philippines.
06:38Yes.
06:39It's not just an icon of Dubai.
06:42It's also a symbol of the high ambition of the Emirates.
06:47It's hard to believe that it's only been five decades.
06:51Everything you see here is pure desert.
06:54When Dubai started doing all of this, the Philippines was far ahead.
07:01It took them only about five decades to do all of this.
07:06And now, they're the first world.
07:08It's just envious.
07:09Envious much, the kids said.
07:12Because if they can do it, I hope we can do it too.
07:18Next!
07:19And because we're in Dubai, where some of the richest people in the world live.
07:25Let's do what the Emirates do.
07:28We're going to ride a private yacht.
07:31Shala!
07:33Dubai has the biggest, largest, everything.
07:36Even their ferris wheel.
07:38Bigger than the London Eye or even in Singapore.
07:44Ouch!
07:45Oh my God!
07:46Oh my God!
07:48Hey, you Jabbar!
07:50I thought we're friends.
07:52You almost broke my finger.
07:56Ouch!
07:57Oh my God!
07:58It doesn't have brakes!
08:00Ouch!
08:02It's a free fall!
08:04Ouch!
08:05Ouch!
08:11Before Dubai arrived, what the state is enjoying now,
08:14it's just a small fishing village.
08:17Back then, fishing or pearl fishing was their main livelihood.
08:24Their climate is hot and cool.
08:27It's more than 50 degrees Celsius.
08:30Or even hotter.
08:32That's why the development of a futuristic city in the middle of nothingness
08:38is considered an urban miracle of modern times.
08:43The houses here are huge.
08:46There's like a giant picture frame.
08:49Or what they call the Dubai Frame.
08:52While the Museum of the Future,
08:54you'll think it's a sci-fi or science fiction film.
08:59Let's follow the historic Persian Gulf.
09:03And since we're in Dubai,
09:05where some of the richest people in the world live,
09:09let's do what the Emirates do.
09:12We'll ride a private yacht.
09:15Shalala!
09:17Very fancy!
09:18The UAE or the United Arab Emirates has seven emirates.
09:22And one of them is Dubai.
09:24Oil is the main source of wealth in this place.
09:28But it's about to run out.
09:30But they planned this.
09:33That's why they gradually shifted to tourism.
09:36They do everything big time here.
09:38And in style.
09:40Just like what we'll do this afternoon.
09:42We'll ride a yacht.
09:45And we'll cruise.
09:47To see the other sights of Dubai.
09:52Our yacht's captain.
09:54Our countryman.
09:55Captain Raul.
09:57Tubong Sipalay.
09:58Negros Occidental.
10:00How did you end up here?
10:01I've been here since 1999.
10:03I graduated from CIMAN.
10:04And my uncle was the first one to come here.
10:06So he took me in.
10:08He used to be the captain of a royal family yacht here.
10:13I've been there for three years.
10:15Our yacht is bigger.
10:16Maybe five times bigger.
10:18So your first boss was the ship?
10:19Vice President of Dubai.
10:20How is he?
10:21He's super nice.
10:23How long have you had yachts like this?
10:26I have plans to buy one.
10:28Of course, you can buy one.
10:30Almost 20 million.
10:32Dirhams.
10:33Times 15.
10:35So about 300 million.
10:37Wow.
10:38The people you'll meet here.
10:41It's a car.
10:42Correct.
10:43What kind of car is that?
10:44It's a Pibian.
10:46Wow.
10:47It's a car that can go to the sea.
10:49Yes.
10:50It makes a lot of money.
10:52Correct.
10:53They're having a party.
10:55It's so nice to have a life like this.
11:00Yo!
11:01Wrapping?
11:02Wow.
11:03It's really nice.
11:05From Philippines.
11:07It's beautiful.
11:09It's beautiful.
11:10They know how to do it.
11:14Hakuna Matata!
11:16That's the only African word I know.
11:20From the yachts, look at the other iconic structures and buildings of Dubai.
11:25Like Dubai Eye.
11:27The biggest Ferris wheel in the world.
11:30Dubai has the biggest, largest, everything.
11:34Even their Ferris wheel.
11:36Bigger than the London Eye.
11:38Or even in Singapore.
11:40Here you can see there's a building with a twin.
11:43There's a building with a hole in the middle.
11:45All the designs, they're playing with their creativity.
11:50Because most of what you can see here in Dubai is deserted, unlike in the Philippines,
11:55Emiratis are passionate about extending and beautifying coastlines.
12:02Their solution is to make islands.
12:08Man-made.
12:11And the most popular of these is the Palm Jumeirah.
12:22We're going inside the Palm Jumeirah.
12:30That's the most expensive piece of real estate here in Dubai.
12:34It was built to attract Hollywood celebrities, sports superstars.
12:44Big time, all the time.
12:46There's no small time here.
12:51Here in Dubai, you can find the one and only 7-star hotel in the world,
12:58Burj Al Arab.
13:00That's the Burj Al Arab.
13:04How much does it cost per night?
13:06It starts at 1,000 dirhams, the cheapest one.
13:1015,000 a night.
13:12There are rooms that cost 50,000 dirhams.
13:16The design of the Burj Al Arab looks like a boat.
13:22The previous ancestors of Dubai started as pearl divers.
13:26It's like a tribute to their past.
13:30Maybe this is Dubai's lesson for all of us, for the world,
13:35that even if you look at how modern they are now,
13:39how magnificent their mansions, their cities, their emirates are,
13:45they haven't forgotten their past.
13:49Hello, love! Dubai! Habibi!
13:53In this part of Dubai, Old Dubai,
13:56you can see how the Emirates lived back then.
14:00There's New Dubai, where there are modern and magnificent buildings.
14:05There's also Old Dubai.
14:08They retained it as a reminder of their past.
14:13And to reach that, we need to ride what they call a water taxi.
14:20This is what their traditional boats looked like back then.
14:25Now, they're being retained for their water taxis.
14:30We're now in the part of Old Dubai.
14:34This is where the souks are.
14:37You can see where they bought their goods.
14:40This is where they bought their goods.
14:43This is where they bought their goods.
14:46This is the souk.
14:47You can see where they bought their textiles, spices,
14:52and of course, what the Filipinos wanted to bring home from Dubai.
14:57Gold!
14:59The Arabs, since ancient times,
15:02were known as traders.
15:04We're now here at Old Baladea Street.
15:08This is a place where you can have fun.
15:12You can see mountains of spices here in the spice souk.
15:18This is one of the most expensive spices in the world.
15:22Saffron.
15:23For those who love paella,
15:26this is what gives the color.
15:29This is expensive because they can only eat a little for every hectare.
15:34Oh, that's the flour.
15:35How many flours is that?
15:36More than a thousand flours.
15:38That's why it's expensive, because a handful of flours is equivalent to 1,000 flours
15:45and 1 hectare of their plantation for saffron.
15:54You can drink this.
15:55Very expensive water.
15:56Good for the memory.
15:57Oh, really?
15:58Yes.
15:59If you drink that, you'll never forget me and my shop
16:01because you have a nice memory with my saffron.
16:03Okay.
16:06But it's okay.
16:08Pour it.
16:12Very mild.
16:13And I give you as well present in the morning.
16:15Chocolate date at that one.
16:16Okay.
16:17Oh, my God.
16:18Please.
16:19You are such a bad person.
16:20You're offering me calories very early in the morning.
16:23How much is it?
16:25About 7 US dollars per gram.
16:277 US dollars.
16:28Okay.
16:29Can I just buy a little?
16:305 grams.
16:31How much?
16:3235 in your money.
16:3335 in US dollars?
16:35Okay.
16:36I give you 30 US dollars because you are first in the morning.
16:39Oh, thank you.
16:44Of course, our Dubai adventure will not be complete
16:48if we don't visit the desert
16:51and join the camels.
16:55We are in the countryside of Dubai
16:58and we are here in one of their camel farms.
17:06Wow, you have a nice place.
17:08This is really wonderful.
17:10You have 18 camels?
17:11Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:12It's not for racing.
17:13It's not for eating.
17:14Oh.
17:15It's not just for petting.
17:17All our camels are very calm.
17:19They like people.
17:20In 2016, this farm was built
17:23to serve the camels.
17:26Two years after it was established,
17:28it was opened to the public.
17:30The owner is an Italian named Luca.
17:33What is an Italian doing in Dubai
17:36raising camels?
17:37I moved here 10 years ago as a photographer.
17:39But with my girlfriend two years ago,
17:41we took this place.
17:43It was a farm that was already existing before.
17:45We decided to make it more beautiful
17:48and to create a real Emirati and Bedouin experience for tourists.
17:52I was given a chance
17:54to name one of the camels here.
17:57What is his name?
17:59I don't know.
18:00You don't know?
18:01If he doesn't have a name,
18:02you can give it a name.
18:03Okay.
18:04Now, you are now Jesse.
18:05Okay?
18:06Because you don't have a name yet.
18:07So, I will give you a name.
18:09Jesse.
18:10You are Jesse from here on.
18:12Okay?
18:13Oh.
18:14I already have a camel here.
18:15Hello.
18:16He is eating my blouse.
18:18Okay.
18:19Hi.
18:20Sorry.
18:21I didn't bring any food.
18:22Oh.
18:23Oh.
18:26Ah.
18:27You can kiss them.
18:28They are so kind.
18:29Wow.
18:30On the nose also.
18:31On the nose.
18:32Oh.
18:33Also, the kisses on the nose.
18:34Of course.
18:35Come on.
18:36Come on.
18:37He will kiss you.
18:38Mmm.
18:39They don't smell.
18:40She wants more.
18:41Oh, you want more.
18:43Oh.
18:45You are so sweet.
18:48Camels are considered a cultural heritage of the UAE.
18:53They are also a status symbol.
18:55If a family owns more camels,
18:58it means they are richer.
19:02But do you know what is inside the camel's hump?
19:07They don't feed it with water, but with fat.
19:12So, even if they travel a long distance in the desert, they can do it.
19:17If they go in the desert for 2-3 weeks without food or water,
19:20they can still take the nutrition from the hump.
19:22Here, they don't have big humps because we feed them every day.
19:24So, they don't really need to accumulate fat.
19:26Oh.
19:27So, that's how it goes.
19:28If you feed them enough, they will not grow their hump so big.
19:33Yes.
19:34Because for them, it's an excessive weight.
19:35It's like a runner.
19:36It doesn't have many muscles because it needs to be light.
19:38You hold it, yeah?
19:39Here on the farm, you can experience feeding camels.
19:43More and more and more.
19:48Ah.
19:52They are strong.
19:53Okay, here.
19:54Mmm.
19:55Mmm.
19:56The small one was stolen.
20:02Is this edible for humans too or just for animals?
20:05It's not poisonous, yeah?
20:06No, no, no.
20:07Let me taste one leaf.
20:09Let's taste it.
20:13Mmm.
20:14Very mild tasting.
20:16I thought it's the taste of malunggay, but it's not.
20:19Sorry, I tasted your food, okay?
20:21It's edible for humans, yeah?
20:26Yeah, for sure.
20:28For sure.
20:29If it is something dangerous, we cannot give it to the animals.
20:32I'm still alive.
20:33I was just curious, that's why I tasted it.
20:35Here you go.
20:38And look, he's still hungry, yeah?
20:41Oh, yeah.
20:42The technique for feeding camels is that you should hold the grass tightly at the end.
20:51But, it was too late when I found out.
20:56Ouch!
20:57Oh my God, I got bitten.
20:59They're trying to grab their food, you know?
21:00Yeah.
21:01Their teeth are not sharp, yeah?
21:02No, no, no.
21:03Camels don't easily harm people with their teeth because they don't have complete teeth.
21:06Hey, you, Jabbar.
21:08I thought we're friends.
21:10You almost bit my finger, okay?
21:12You hurt me.
21:15I think they're having a nice time with you, you know?
21:17Ouch!
21:18Oh my God, I got bitten.
21:22How do you ride a camel?
21:25I don't know.
21:31What's his name?
21:32His name is Hua.
21:33Hua?
21:34Yeah.
21:35Hua, hello Hua.
21:37Hua, let's be good, okay?
21:39Be good, Hua.
21:40Be nice.
21:41Always lean back now because maybe they can go down once more.
21:45Oh my God, I'm so nervous.
21:47He told me to lean back because I might fall down.
21:52I think he's a bit wild with me.
21:56You're a nice camel, Hua.
21:59Now, I'm going to try how to travel in the desert behind them.
22:10Our guide, Omar, is coming down.
22:12It's like he's doing an exhibition.
22:26Camels can travel long distances.
22:33They can travel far.
22:36Even if there's no water or food, they can still survive.
22:42Camels are very important in the desert.
22:46They live and find food.
22:48Maybe human civilization as we know it,
22:52we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for these animals.
23:02My lower back hurts.
23:05For a first-timer, it's not easy to ride a camel.
23:08It's a different kind of descent.
23:19I was about to fall down.
23:21Fortunately, Samson helped me.
23:31Thank you, Samson.
23:32You're my angel.
23:33Samson is a good rider.
23:36Samson might change his mind.
23:39You're really my angel.
23:43Today, you're my clown and my angel, Samson.
23:49Are you ready?
23:51Let's go to the exciting part.
23:54In Dubai, you can fly.
23:57Skydiving.
23:59We are in Skydive Dubai.
24:02We're going to jump off a plane.
24:06And the winner of Hamon is Miss Universe 2015, Pia Wurtzbach.
24:13How are you feeling right now?
24:15My heart is beating fast.
24:17Let's warm up first.
24:19Smile all the way.
24:21She did it not once, but twice.
24:37I feel like crying.
24:38I have a fear of heights.
24:39But with family here, you can conquer your fears.
24:42I'm really happy to be doing this with them.
24:44What an experience.
24:49For those who are still looking for physical pain,
24:52this is for you.
24:54Desert Safari.
25:01Ride a 4x4.
25:07Please make it fast.
25:08Don't kill us slowly, okay?
25:14Ah!
25:18Ah!
25:20Oh my God.
25:26Ah!
25:28This is a free fall.
25:30There's no brakes.
25:32It's still spinning.
25:34Oh my God.
25:36Ah!
25:45After an almost one-hour trip in the desert,
25:49the sun is about to set.
25:53But the night is just beginning.
25:57Imagine, in the middle of the desert,
25:59there are party parties.
26:11Can I join you?
26:12Yes.
26:13Okay.
26:17We're from the Philippines.
26:24They're challenging me.
26:29I don't think I can do this.
26:31They're on a different level.
26:34Woo!
26:39I've seen a few deserts,
26:41but in the distance,
26:43the desert of Dubai
26:45is the first desert
26:47that I've stepped on,
26:49experienced what it's like to be on the sand.
26:52What I've read,
26:54what I've said,
26:55what I've told,
26:56is that the desert is beautiful.
26:58And when you see this,
27:00you know that God has risen.
27:03Because even though it's a desert,
27:06it's still beautiful.
27:08From this desert,
27:10here in Dubai,
27:11there's a paradise
27:13just like Dubai.
27:15It's like a miracle in the desert.
