00:00The food here in Rubicia is so delicious.
00:04This is a true delicacy.
00:07It's still hot.
00:11It's crispy.
00:12We've been here for a long time. It's 1979.
00:16I know why.
00:18And in our tasting of the things that make us proud,
00:21we have someone with us.
00:23A loud and proud Kapampangan.
00:25Go, go, go!
00:27And another close friend.
00:30Yes, I'm Rufo Mekinto,
00:32Ma'am Panggam, Philippines!
00:35I want to dedicate this episode to myself.
00:38Hope I like it.
00:41On this trip, you can't say no, no, no.
00:44Is that included?
00:45Don't put your hands together, Ma'am.
00:48Ready?
00:49Ready, sir.
00:50I'm the one who asked if you're ready.
00:51You're the pilot.
00:52Ready, sir.
00:53Kapampangan.
00:54Kapampangan.
01:00Ah!
01:02Kapampangan.
01:04For Brazilian or Cebu,
01:06you need Kapampangan.
01:10Because of all of the challenges in life,
01:12we're going to make it.
01:13We're really going to fly.
01:16There's no way.
01:19It's a real trip.
01:20of the Philippines, in Pampanga.
01:28Have you ever seen a motorcycle flying?
01:31You heard it right.
01:33That's what we're going to ride on our trip to Pampanga.
01:37It looks far from the airplane,
01:39but it can carry us to the sky.
01:42That's the Ultralight Aircraft.
01:51Charles will tell me that this is his first time flying an Ultralight.
01:55That's true.
01:57So, we're in good hands.
02:01After Charles taught us how to operate the controls,
02:04all we need to do is take a deep breath.
02:07Ready?
02:08I'm the one who's asking if you're ready.
02:10You're the pilot.
02:11Ready, sir.
02:13From the Himpapawid,
02:15you can see the vibrant colors of the surrounding Pampanga.
02:22You can see the sea.
02:31We're flying over the Pampanga.
02:33That's the Pampanga.
02:36We're flying over Pampanga.
02:37That's the Pampanga.
02:39That's the lake.
02:41That's the sound of the Pampanga River.
02:43That's the sound of the Pampanga River.
02:45That's the sound of the Pampanga River.
02:47What's our current height?
02:49We're at 800 feet.
02:51And our speed is 45 miles per hour.
02:53And our speed is 45 miles per hour.
02:55The birds are beautiful, right?
02:57Is that a bird?
02:59Yes sir, that's the Pampanga River.
03:01Yes sir, that's the Pampanga River.
03:15At least, we saw a lot of houses.
03:17Not just buildings.
03:19Yes, houses, greenery, mountains, river, birds.
03:21Yes, houses, greenery, mountains, river, birds.
03:23Yes, houses, greenery, mountains, river, birds.
03:25But we still enjoyed it.
03:27But we still enjoyed it.
03:31Moonland RPS 1457.
03:33Moonland RPS 1457.
03:35Downwind.
03:37Runway 08, full stop.
03:39Runway 08, full stop.
03:43This is Captain Aureliano speaking.
03:45This is Captain Aureliano speaking.
03:51Here in Good Boys Flying,
03:53we teach you how to fly a plane
03:55and it's open for everyone and anyone
03:57for aspiring pilots,
03:59frustrated pilots,
04:01or simply just anyone who wants to be a pilot for a day.
04:03And in those 30 minutes,
04:05we're going to be able to teach them how to fly a plane
04:07in the most basic way.
04:09And on top of that, it's a scenic flight.
04:15From new cars,
04:17we will try the old
04:19transportation of the people of Pampanga.
04:21Riding a Kalabaw
04:23and pulling this thing.
04:25Is this your first time riding a...
04:27I don't know, a Kalabaw?
04:29I didn't ride it. Maybe because we don't have a Kalabaw.
04:31The twist
04:33that we're going to go through
04:35is not that, but a bumpy road.
04:41Will Rufa May be able to maintain
04:43the demure, mindful,
04:45and cutesy in the whole Kalabaw ride?
04:47Go, go, go, guys.
04:49Go, go, guys.
04:53Don't fall.
05:01Long live the Kalabaw!
05:03Wow.
05:11You're so cute.
05:13You're so cute.
05:15Your arms are so soft.
05:17You're so cute.
05:23Are you okay, baby?
05:25I can do it.
05:27Go, go, go.
05:29It's just a trip.
05:35A Kalabaw from the moon
05:37landed in your hometown.
05:39What do you do to entertain him?
05:41Nothing.
05:43Because I don't know him.
05:45Behind the clouds, there are airplanes.
05:47There are airplanes.
05:49You have a point there.
05:51Maybe it's in Cubao, Ibabao.
05:55Believe me, I'm from there.
05:57Not in Pampanga, but in Cubao.
05:59I'm also from Cubao, right?
06:01Maybe I'll do it.
06:03I'll show him the trip of Drew.
06:05So he'll know, he'll be informed
06:07what he can go to.
06:09We'll be friends.
06:11But of course, the important thing is
06:13the nearby rivers.
06:15Because I know, I feel like it's a Karabaw
06:17and he wants to cool down.
06:19There's a well, there's a water.
06:21So it's right.
06:23I'll show them the rivers
06:25because if there's a well, there's a water.
06:27Then there's the Karabaw.
06:29Aren't you afraid
06:31that you'll ride near the Karabaw,
06:33just relax,
06:35and the river is there?
06:37At first, I thought it's easy.
06:39I didn't know it's like that.
06:41The road is also...
06:43Everything is rough.
06:45What do you think?
06:47Like me, rough me.
06:49Oh my God.
06:51Yes.
06:53Okay.
06:55It's just like that.
06:57That's why I rode hard.
06:59But if you think about it,
07:01that's it, you can't go fast.
07:03I think the Karabaw rides
07:05are like diesel.
07:07They're used to it.
07:09It's used for a long time.
07:17Let's go for a ride
07:19in Pampanga.
07:21You can find a powerful car here
07:23to go around the places
07:25that were flooded.
07:27Who would have thought
07:29the result of the calamity.
07:31After a few decades,
07:33it will be fun.
07:35Of course, it's a game.
07:37Yes, you rode a 4x4.
07:39Don't drive.
07:41Do you trust me?
07:43Of course.
07:45I don't trust myself.
07:47But you know what?
07:49With your mentality,
07:51I go, go, go.
07:53Let's go.
07:57That's the challenge.
08:03Where are we going?
08:05Is this the way?
08:07Where are we going?
08:09There's a way.
08:11There's a way out of here.
08:15I think we should get in the lock room.
08:17Let's follow them.
08:21Follow me.
08:23Let's go, go, go.
08:31It's dirty.
08:35It's dirty.
08:47How was the experience?
08:49This is the worst ride of my life.
08:51It's a rough road.
08:53That's why I changed my name
08:55from Ruffamay to Ruffamayna.
08:57It's scary.
08:59Because I know there's a way.
09:01But we really fell
09:03into the mud.
09:05Can you imagine that?
09:09It's really a journey.
09:11I guess that's why
09:13we go to Pampanga,
09:15specifically Borac,
09:17because of the terrain.
09:19It's fun to play in the river,
09:21in the misung lahar.
09:23There's no terrain here.
09:25No, it's not the terrain.
09:27It's the terrain.
09:29The terrain.
09:31How can you create
09:33a positive and lasting impact
09:35to the world using the abundant
09:37sands of Borac?
09:39Just like what we're doing now,
09:41I guess the lahar became a perwisho.
09:43But after how many years,
09:45that perwisho became a playground.
09:47But I know there's a place
09:49where everything is here.
09:51You know, I have relatives
09:53who really built a house here.
09:55But not in Borac,
09:57but near Lubao.
09:59Kubaw?
10:01Above?
10:03Yes, above.
10:05But anyways,
10:07everything is restored.
10:09It's connected to what you're saying.
10:11It's connected to what you're saying.
10:13Yes.
10:15Yes.
10:17It's a positivity.
10:19It's the impact
10:21to the
10:23volcano.
10:25Because
10:27it erupted.
10:29That's why there's a big impact.
10:31Like,
10:33PAK!
10:35Right?
10:37And this,
10:39PAK!
10:41Keep off the grass.
10:43Because it's slippery when wet.
10:45Right?
10:47Keep off the grass.
10:49Green, green grass.
10:51I don't know.
10:53Maybe I'm confused about what happened to me.
10:55I forgot everything.
10:57But this wasn't just a playground
10:59for the people of Pampanga.
11:01That's why the Ablasning Balas Festival
11:03was built to celebrate
11:05the blessing of the wind
11:07from the eruptions of Mt. Piritubo.
11:09One of the main parts of the festival
11:11are these cool cars.
11:13Can you imagine
11:15these remote-controlled trucks?
11:17These super cute
11:19remote-controlled rock crawlers
11:21were the highlight of the exhibition.
11:23While the 4x4 Off-Road Extreme
11:25Category Challenge
11:27was a smooth win for Jeffrey.
11:29It was hard.
11:31It was a bit of a challenge
11:33to play 4x4.
11:35I enjoyed playing 4x4.
11:41We'll end our 10-over-10 food trip
11:43but we didn't run out of money.
11:45Pancit Palabok
11:47is sold all day long
11:49but it's always hot
11:51so the Paroquianos
11:53come back for it.
11:55There's also something
11:57that's not made from shrimp or squash
11:59but from papaya.
12:01Let's try it.
12:03We're here at
12:05San Nicolás Market
12:07which is the oldest public market
12:09in Angeles City.
12:11We're going to do a food crawl.
12:13Let's start the crawl.
12:17Even though there's a lot of people
12:19here in Pampanga,
12:21the stalls are still busy.
12:23Our first food crawl itinerary
12:25is Almas Palabok.
12:27Ma'am,
12:29it's 3.45pm.
12:31What time did you start?
12:33What year?
12:35The year we started
12:37is 1979.
12:39We open
12:41at 4am.
12:43So from 4am
12:45to 6.30am
12:47So that's 14 hours
12:49of service?
12:51Yes, we cook
12:53and by 6 or 5.30am,
12:55we have customers.
12:57Do you take a break?
12:59Do you have Saturdays and Sundays?
13:01No, we don't.
13:05How long have you been
13:07selling food?
13:097 years.
13:11Why do you come back?
13:13Because it's delicious.
13:15This is where Almas' vegetables
13:17are willing to wait and eat.
13:19But even though they don't
13:21get along with a lot of customers,
13:23they still order hot food.
13:25Generous serving for 60 pesos.
13:33Okay.
13:35Fight.
13:37I know why.
13:39I feel like
13:41serving is different
13:43when the food is hot.
13:45It's really fresh.
13:49Amazing.
13:59Let's eat
14:01their Okoy.
14:03Best of the best sellers.
14:05Is it okay, Okoy?
14:07Where's the Okoy?
14:09Do you have it?
14:11Do you have Okoy?
14:13Do you have Okoy?
14:15Do you have Okoy?
14:17Do you have Okoy?
14:19Do you have Okoy?
14:21Do you have Okoy?
14:25Even though
14:27other stores have already closed
14:29Otis' stall, it's still famous
14:31among their customers.
14:33When did you decide
14:35to make Okoy with papaya?
14:37A long time ago.
14:39A long time ago.
14:41Why did you choose papaya?
14:43Papaya is more delicious
14:45compared to other Okoy.
14:47Let's try it.
14:49I don't know if you'll like it.
14:51I think so.
14:53Maybe I'll sing later.
14:59This is a normal Okoy
15:01that we usually eat.
15:03It's made from bean sprouts
15:05and carrots.
15:07My mom likes green papaya.
15:11I think what happens with the texture
15:13is that
15:17it's still crunchy
15:19but
15:21it's fuller.
15:23Php40 for a thick Okoy.
15:25You have vinegar
15:27and you can sing
15:29so that people inside the kitchen can hear you.
15:37Rufa May Quinto,
15:39or Peachy,
15:41was born here in Pampanga.
15:43And if there's one thing
15:45that our Kapalans know,
15:47it's their cooking skills.
15:55What we're going to cook
15:57is the Kapampangan Shrimp Dish
15:59called Lagat Paro.
16:01But what's special about Lagat Paro
16:03is that the Kapampangan
16:05is made from
16:07pingol,
16:09a type of plant that can be found
16:11in the mountains in Pampanga.
16:13It's usually used to make
16:15other dishes in Pampanga.
16:19It's delicious.
16:21It's just salty.
16:23What we're going to do
16:25is recreate
16:27the dish
16:29that we've tasted.
16:31Will we be able to copy
16:33this dish?
16:35Since they don't have any cooking utensils,
16:37they use a spoon to cook the Lagat Paro
16:39in a pot.
16:41This is the traditional way to cook it.
16:43So, let's set the beach.
16:45Then we'll taste it after it's cooked.
16:55Here it is.
16:57After how many minutes,
16:59our Lagat Paro is cooked.
17:01While I'm mixing it,
17:03I'm making my own Lagat Paro.
17:05I added a little bit of salt.
17:07We can dip the fish in the sauce.
17:09So now, I'm adding
17:11vegetables and tomatoes
17:13because that's what Ricardo did.
17:15Even in Sinigang,
17:17he's an authentic chef.
17:21I don't know what I'm getting.
17:23Wait.
17:25I think there's something wrong.
17:27Wow! It tastes like water.
17:29Really?
17:31I think I didn't season it enough.
17:33I think I didn't season it enough.
17:35Maybe it's because you don't have any utensils.
17:37I'm the same.
17:39Try it, Peach.
17:41I don't want to.
17:43You can taste it.
17:45It's delicious.
17:49It tastes like water.
17:51It tastes like water.
17:53It's not good.
17:55But in fairness,
17:57It's not good for you.
17:59In fairness,
18:05I'll taste it properly.
18:07Taste it.
18:11It tastes like water.
18:13It's sweet but tasteless.
18:15It's tasteless because we cooked it.
18:17Maybe we didn't put enough leaves.
18:19I think we didn't put enough of everything.
18:21We should've made leaves.
18:23Not just leaves.
18:25We should've made leaves.
18:27It's easy to cook.
18:29But it's hard to get the right taste.
18:31I think we don't have a winner today.
18:35A few months before the new year,
18:37But here in Pampanga,
18:39There's a new trend.
18:41Hold a stick
18:43And monitor your BP
18:45Because we're going to taste
18:47Deadly.
18:49Hi.
18:51Let's copy
18:53What we see on social media.
18:55What they call
18:57Asmr in true
18:59Asmr fashion.
19:01We need to
19:03Whisper.
19:05Can you hear my voice?
19:07Good.
19:09I should hold a spoon
19:11Or any utensil
19:13To make it
19:15Stick to the food.
19:17This is the specialty of Onions.
19:19Chicken Bagnet.
19:21With a pig's head.
19:23Ready?
19:25Did you hear that?
19:27Nothing.
19:29I was just testing the editor.
19:31Because he might add special effects
19:33And I haven't touched my face yet.
19:35It's necessary.
19:41For the chicken.
19:45It's easy.
19:51It's good.
19:57It's delicious.
19:59It's really cooked.
20:09You haven't heard
20:11And seen that in Asmr.
20:13Did they kiss you like that?
20:15No.
20:17You need to whisper.
20:21It's good.
20:33In fairness, it's hot.
20:37It's not dangerous.
20:39But the food is hot.
20:41That's what we're looking for in food.
20:43So we can enjoy
20:45The food that should be hot.
20:47Their chicken bagnet
20:49Is an egg from the idea
20:51To give a new attack to the chicken.
20:55And what they came up with
20:57Bagnet style.
21:07It's crispy.
21:19It's good.
21:23But in all seriousness,
21:25I'm still whispering.
21:27The spiciness
21:29And usually,
21:31When you eat food,
21:33The texture
21:35Is really important.
21:37The texture while you're eating.
21:39And I think that's one of the reasons
21:41Why the crunch
21:45Is like that.
21:47It doesn't have vinegar.
21:49So it's not Asmr.
21:51Here, there's vinegar.
21:53It's sour.
21:57Not only the crispy head,
21:59But the chicken bagnet helps with the sweat.
22:01You're wrong.
22:03Because they offer everything crispy.
22:07Calm down.
22:09Because we're going to do
22:11The highest level of travel with Rufa May.
22:13Yes! Go, go, go!
22:15The brothers of Aita
22:17Are playing hide and seek
22:19On the hill that we're going to try.
22:25Wait, wait.
22:27I want my dad to be alive.
22:29Yes, dad.
22:33Because of the simple life
22:35In the mountains,
22:37The hide and seek
22:39That the brothers of Aita
22:41Play with
22:43We're here in Porak, Pampanga
22:45To start the jungle games.
22:47Porak, you rock.
22:49Porak, you rock!
22:51And don't say you rock
22:53Because I grew up here.
22:55I want to know, you're from Pampanga
22:57But do you know how to play hide and seek?
23:01I know how to play.
23:03Maybe because I was young
23:05But it's also a game for men.
23:09Of course, we're patents
23:11To cook.
23:13Do you want to try?
23:15Yes, let's cook.
23:17I miss that.
23:19Pierros, are you familiar with this?
23:21This is their version of hide and seek.
23:23The hide and seek.
23:25Our go, go, goal
23:27Is to make the hide turn around first.
23:29Sounds easy, right?
23:33This is Reggie.
23:35He's going to teach us how to play hide and seek.
23:37Is that right?
23:39This is how you do it.
23:43Turn around.
23:45We're going to turn around.
23:47We're going to turn around.
23:49We're going to turn around.
23:51We're going to turn around.
23:53We're going to turn around.
23:55There's really a lesson.
23:57Reggie and I are going to do a sample.
23:59Peach, show us how Reggie does it.
24:03Oh, that's a good turn.
24:05It's like lying down.
24:09You know,
24:11our tie is not good.
24:13I think.
24:15Just try it.
24:17Wow, that's good.
24:19Practice.
24:27It's like you need to let go.
24:29And then go, go, go.
24:31And go, go, go.
24:33Your go, go, go is going too far, Peach.
24:35Yes, I'm going to change it to no, no, no.
24:37No, no, no.
24:39Is that right?
24:41And then you do this.
24:43It's like you're scratching.
24:45And then when you know there's a knot,
24:47then you remove it.
24:49It's like that.
24:51Yeah, go, go, go.
24:53To finish the game.
24:57Right?
