00:00It's quiet.
00:07It's peaceful.
00:11It's peaceful.
00:13That's what we're hoping for in life in the province.
00:16But that's not all in the province of Quirino.
00:19Because here,
00:20OeƱos are also popular.
00:24Last one. Last one minute.
00:27OeƱos are beautiful.
00:33We have a beautiful house.
00:35And a beautiful house.
00:38OeƱos are many.
00:40And of course, there are OeƱos adventures.
00:46We haven't tried the lake yet.
00:48There's always a first time for everything.
00:50Let's go.
00:52If I have gone to a place,
00:54I have conquered the place.
00:56What do you say, Veros?
00:58How can we say no to Quirino?
01:06Let's start in Rumaragasang Tubig,
01:08in this part of Cagayan River.
01:13Welcome to Governor's Rapids.
01:15Here, water tubing is a hit among tourists.
01:18This is the ride along Rumaragasang Tubig
01:20while riding an inflatable raft.
01:23The tubing is fun.
01:24You'll get wet.
01:26You don't know if you'll fall.
01:29And then,
01:30I'm sure there are some points
01:32where you'll free-flow.
01:35But that's not what I'm aiming for, Veros.
01:37Because I found out that the boats
01:40are still floating along Governor's Rapids
01:43even though the water is still shallow.
01:47Is this safe?
01:54There's only one way to find out.
02:05Hi there.
02:06We're going back to Governor's Rapids.
02:08Well, now,
02:09we're not going to ride
02:11and play with what we call tubing,
02:14the interior of a truck,
02:15the wheels of a truck.
02:17But we're going to ride a legit boat.
02:20A modern boat.
02:21It's a modern boat
02:22because it has a motor.
02:24We haven't tried it here yet
02:26in Governor's Rapids.
02:27And hey,
02:28there's always a first time for everything.
02:31Okay?
02:32Let's go.
02:36How long will it take to get to the boat?
02:39From here to there, sir.
02:41It'll take about 3 minutes.
02:433 minutes?
02:44Yes, 3 minutes.
02:45The boat can carry up to 5 passengers.
02:48Heroes can also have a me-time.
02:52I'm so happy that I'm with my wife
02:54because I really don't have anyone with me.
02:57In this boat ride,
02:58we'll cross the Seven Rapids
02:59in the middle of the river.
03:07I'm still lonely.
03:11As we pass by the flowing water,
03:18I can say that it's safe.
03:21But if you compare the tubing,
03:23this one,
03:25this one,
03:26I think,
03:28what can I say?
03:29If you want a safe path,
03:31a little wet,
03:33I think this is the safer
03:35and more conservative option.
03:38If you just want to do sightseeing,
03:40we went to what they call Letter C.
03:43On the way there,
03:45you can see the sidewalls
03:47of the mountains.
03:50I think that's what's beautiful
03:52because they're white
03:53and there's a lot of water.
03:56Very therapeutic.
03:58And then,
04:00I feel like
04:01you can see the whole city.
04:03Very peaceful.
04:04And then,
04:05you're very secure.
04:07It's like,
04:08it's up to you to do what you want.
04:10So I just felt very secure.
04:12But I hope you have someone with you
04:14when you go to the mountains.
04:15Because sometimes,
04:18it's a bit lonely.
04:19Like what I said to Kuya,
04:20go straight to the cliff,
04:21jump,
04:22even if there's no water.
04:25The use of wooden boots
04:26in Rapids Viejos
04:27is not uncommon.
04:29Wooden boots
04:30are more resistant to water.
04:32Plastic,
04:34when it hits a rock,
04:35it's easy to break.
04:37Wood,
04:38even if it hits a rock,
04:39it's just a little
04:40and it will break
04:41right away.
04:45In the middle of Governor's Rapids,
04:47there are a lot of fish that live here.
04:49Just like eels.
04:52But they're not just present in the river.
04:54Because here in the town of Madela,
04:56they're also present in the rice paddies.
04:58Kiwit is what they call the eels
05:00that live in the rice paddies.
05:02And the truth is,
05:03it's a festive day
05:04for the locals.
05:05Because these kiwit
05:06are very O.A.
05:07when it comes to
05:08catching fish.
05:10That's why the locals
05:11like to catch them.
05:12You can eat the kiwit.
05:14And one dish here,
05:15it's called Moderno Atake.
05:17But before we taste it,
05:18let's catch some kiwit
05:19in the rice paddies.
05:21So do you usually have
05:23nets
05:26in the fields?
05:28For catching?
05:29No, we don't.
05:30Really?
05:31No, we don't.
05:32We catch them like this.
05:34Like this?
05:35Yes.
05:36Like this?
05:37Yes.
05:38Like this?
05:39Yes.
05:40Like this?
05:41Like this?
05:42Yes.
05:43And then?
05:44And then if you see
05:45something moving,
05:46you catch it.
05:47You catch it?
05:48Yes.
05:49You can't just use
05:50a net.
05:52You can't just use a net.
05:53You can't just use a net.
05:54You can't just use a net.
05:55You can't just use a net.
05:56Because they'll go inside.
05:57Yes.
05:58Let's get better
05:59at catching kiwit, Bierros.
06:03But it's not easy
06:04because kiwit are O.A.
06:05at catching fish.
06:07Yeah.
06:10It's a good thing
06:11you're here.
06:13It's easier to catch kiwit
06:14at night
06:16because they usually
06:17swim in the water.
06:19Good job, Kuya.
06:20Job well done.
06:22It's morning already.
06:24You know, Bierros,
06:25we've been here
06:26since 2 a.m.
06:29After that,
06:30it's a good thing
06:31the sun came out
06:32and Kuya caught
06:33some kiwit.
06:37And they're not cute.
06:39They're a bit big.
06:42It's a win-win situation
06:43to catch kiwit
06:44in Palayan, Bierros.
06:45Aside from the fact
06:46that they're cheaper
06:47in Palayan,
06:48they also sell these
06:49for Php 200 per kilo.
06:52You know,
06:53the texture of the eel
06:54is...
06:55Eel.
06:57It's slippery and slidy.
06:59I guess it's not in
07:01my nature
07:02that
07:03it's like that.
07:04Can I touch it?
07:05I guess I can do that.
07:07It's a kiwit.
07:10But
07:11it's okay
07:14to cook
07:15and eat.
07:17Kiwit
07:18are usually
07:19a local dish.
07:21This is one of the
07:22main dishes
07:23of the people
07:24here in Turin.
07:26It's good for the body
07:27and it's a good source
07:29of protein.
07:30That's why we make it.
07:32In 2021,
07:33a kiwit dish
07:34won the
07:35Kirino Culinaria
07:36Competition Cuisine Show.
07:39The kiwit embutido.
07:41It's giving modern, huh?
07:43The outcome
07:44of the meat
07:45of the eel
07:47is better
07:48than making
07:49the embutido.
07:50That's why
07:51we came up with
07:52this concept.
07:53It brings out
07:54the flavor.
07:55Half a kilo
07:56of minced
07:57kiwit meat
07:58will be mixed
07:59with other flavors.
08:00It also has
08:01carrots,
08:02eggs,
08:03and cheese.
08:04The mixture
08:05will be rolled
08:06in foil
08:07and steamed
08:08for 30-45 minutes.
08:09You can eat it
08:10steamed,
08:11but it's better
08:12if you buy it
08:13kiwit to taste it.
08:16Okay,
08:17I get it.
08:18When you think of
08:19eel,
08:20isda,
08:21it has a
08:22flavor.
08:23Absolutely,
08:24you wouldn't think
08:25that there's
08:26fish here
08:27with the embutido.
08:29It's tasty
08:30and it's salty.
08:32I feel like
08:33I need a sandwich
08:34with rice
08:35and eggs.
08:37This is perfect
08:38for breakfast.
08:39I haven't had lunch yet.
08:42The shelf life
08:43of kiwit embutido
08:44takes up to
08:45a month
08:46in the freezer.
08:48Visitors
08:49from Metro Manila
08:50and outside
08:51the province
08:52of Quirino
08:53know that
08:54Quirino has
08:55a unique product
08:56and that's why
08:57they order it.
08:58They make
08:59kiwit embutido
09:01not just kiwit embutido.
09:02Their product is unique.
09:03Here in the
09:04Quirino markets,
09:05this vegetable
09:06is spotted.
09:07This is not
09:08potatoes.
09:09Have you seen
09:10ube?
09:11White?
09:12That's right.
09:13It's a root crop
09:14that I call
09:15tugi.
09:16We'll also
09:17boil this vegetable
09:18in a game
09:19with local
09:20Quirino players.
09:21Oh my God.
09:22Just Annie,
09:23not the whole garden.
09:25Ate,
09:26I'm all alone.
09:28We have
09:29Ronald with us.
09:30They are Team
09:32Malu
09:33Son.
09:37We also have
09:38Vincent
09:39and PJ.
09:41They are Team
09:43Narangpin.
09:44Pintas!
09:46Anyway,
09:47this is the
09:48process of boiling
09:49tugi.
09:50Is this your first time?
09:51Yes, sir.
09:52Yes?
09:53We really
09:54took the
09:55unknown
09:56about tugi.
09:57But earlier,
09:58I heard
09:59from you
10:00that they are
10:01the ones
10:02who sowed tugi.
10:03What is your reaction
10:04to sowing tugi?
10:05I was shocked.
10:06It's hard.
10:07It's hard?
10:08It's hard,
10:09especially when
10:10there are
10:11holes.
10:12Holes?
10:13Yes.
10:14I think
10:15we have an advantage
10:16because
10:17we don't need
10:18to sow
10:19a lot of tugi.
10:20The challenge
10:21for our players
10:22is not to sow a lot
10:23but to make
10:24the tugi
10:25grow.
10:26Oh,
10:27where are
10:28the ones who will sow?
10:29Huh?
10:30I thought
10:31they went home.
10:32No, sir.
10:33They went home.
10:34I thought
10:35they went home.
10:37The ones
10:38who sowed
10:39didn't sow.
10:41So,
10:42are you ready?
10:43Yes, sir.
10:44Team
10:45Malu!
10:47Team
10:48Mati
10:49Pintas!
10:513,
10:522,
10:531,
10:54Go!
10:55This is a battle
10:56between the OAs.
10:57Haha!
10:58Don't be
10:59nonchalant.
11:00Are you
11:01Team Malusog?
11:03Oh, perfect!
11:05Oh, my God.
11:06It's just Annie,
11:07not the whole garden.
11:08Or Team
11:09Nagpipintas?
11:11I'm all alone.
11:14Team
11:15Nagpip
11:17Pintas
11:19It's over.
11:20We lost.
11:21This is an intense battle,
11:22Beheros.
11:23Last
11:24one minute.
11:25They might
11:27get hurt.
11:29They might
11:30get hurt.
11:31I'm sorry about that.
11:33They will buy
11:34all their strength
11:35without knowing
11:36what the prize is.
11:37We don't have
11:38a long-awaited ambulance.
11:39So,
11:40I'm sorry.
11:41Oh, we have one.
11:42We have one.
11:43So, it's okay.
11:44It's too big.
11:45Let's go.
11:46We have one.
11:47Oh, look.
11:48Look.
11:49One of them got injured.
11:50He got hit in the head.
11:51It's worth
11:521,000 pesos.
11:53Shogodakis.
11:54Shogodakis.
11:56kindly,
11:57call
11:58I mean, thank you.
11:59Shogodakis.
12:00I'm tired.
12:01It's okay.
12:04Shogodakis.
12:08Perfect.
12:095,
12:104,
12:113,
12:122,
12:131.
12:14Okay.
12:16Good job.
12:18XD
12:21Perhaps,
12:22to make the weight
12:23fair,
12:24we'll remove
12:25the soil
12:26attached to the roots.
12:27When it comes to
12:28texture and taste,
12:29what can you
12:30compare it to?
12:32Gabi.
12:33Gabi.
12:35So,
12:36it's not like
12:37Sinigang
12:38is thicker
12:39but this
12:40is thicker.
12:43Both teams
12:44are really energetic.
12:45team?
12:46It's not easy.
12:47It's not easy.
12:48It's tiring.
12:49But exciting.
12:50Because it's fulfilling once you get the crown.
12:51It's very fun.
12:52But that's the challenge.
12:53Yes, that's the challenge.
12:54Who is biased in the team, Veros?
12:55Because each team is a G and G, they have to choose their members one by one.
12:56What do you think, Veros?
12:57Which team is awarded the highest O.A. in singing?
12:58For Team Malupso, who is the winner?
12:59Who is the winner?
13:00Who is the winner?
13:01Who is the winner?
13:02Who is the winner?
13:03Who is the winner?
13:04Who is the winner?

13:36Who is the winner?
13:37Who is the winner?
13:38Who is the winner?
13:39Who is the winner?
13:40One five for the four of you.
13:45Because Tugi is Tugidder.
13:48Tugidder.
13:49Perfect.
13:50Tugidder.
13:51Tugidder.
13:52Perfect.
13:53Tugidder.
13:54Tugidder.
13:55Tugidder.
13:56Tugidder.
13:57Tugidder.
13:58Tugidder.
13:59Tugidder.
14:00Tugidder.
14:01Tugidder.
14:02Tugidder.
14:03Tugidder.
14:04Tugidder.
14:05Tugidder.
14:06Tugidder.
14:07Tugidder.
14:08Tugidder.
14:09Tugidder.
14:10Tugidder.
14:11Tugidder.
14:12Tugidder.
14:13Tugidder.
14:14Tugidder.
14:15Tugidder.
14:16Tugidder.
14:17Tugidder.
14:18Tugidder.
14:19Tugidder.
14:20Tugidder.
14:21Tugidder.
14:22Tugidder.
14:23Tugidder.
14:24Tugidder.
14:25Tugidder.
14:26Tugidder.
14:27Tugidder.
14:28Tugidder.
14:29Tugidder.
14:30Tugidder.
14:31Tugidder.
14:32Tugidder.
14:33Tugidder.
14:34Tugidder.
14:35Tugidder.
14:36Tugidder.
14:37Tugidder.
14:38Kyempe yung taste ay hindi overpowering kasinga most food crops naman talagang hindi overpowering.
14:44So, I think it serves as a filler.
14:48Nice!
14:49Lagay mo nang suka.
14:51Lagay mo nang toyo.
14:52Lagay mo nang sili.
14:53Okay na!
14:55Patagal naman sa tiramisu, bahot layer talaga namang infused with tugiy goodness.
14:59My homemade cream with tugi!
15:01Butterfingers dipped in coffee with tugiy charcoal!
15:05Tugiy jam at sweetened tugiy!
15:08In my opinion, Tuguey is a filler.
15:15Tuguey, I feel, acts as a filler.
15:21There's no specific taste that will overpower.
15:24I think, of course, when it comes to Tiramisu,
15:27it's the sweetness of the cream or the chiffon layer cake.
15:34From the six mountains of Tuguey,
15:36to the real mountain,
15:38to this vast mountain,
15:40I discovered a dragon!
15:45The truth is, it's just a stone that looks like a dragon's head.
15:51But it's not far from this limestone cliff that looks like a crown.
15:56That crown is the plan of the beauty queen who is with us,
16:02and this pride became a contestant in Miss Philippines Earth 2021.
16:09Hi, travelers!
16:11Welcome to our show!
16:13I am Saira Garote Ballesteros,
16:15a.k.a. Saira Bee.
16:17And today, we are here at a well-known attraction,
16:21in the town where the crown of stones was found.
16:26We are here at Tantaan Interior!
16:33There's only a 10-15 minute hike to the crown of stones.
16:39The path we took was made of stones.
16:43So, we arranged it step by step
16:45so that at least our visitors won't have a hard time.
16:49Even the kids,
16:51actually, the elderly who have a hard time walking,
16:55they have a hard time because there are a few steps.
17:00But they still insist on coming here because this place is really beautiful.
17:06When it comes to Tuktuk,
17:07there are breathtaking and aesthetic nature views.
17:11The crown-shaped stone itself can also reach Tuktuk.
17:16Because it was placed on its side.
17:19Did you know that the last time I came here,
17:21it wasn't this beautiful?
17:24And the first time I came here,
17:26it wasn't like this.
17:27There were no steps.
17:28As in, we went through the stones.
17:32Through a hole at the bottom.
17:36This place was discovered only in 2020.
17:38And until now,
17:39the development of this place is still ongoing.
17:42If you're like me,
17:43you're really fond of nature,
17:45you'll be amazed here.
17:46Because aside from plants,
17:49scenic view,
17:50the stone is also the highlight of Coronang Bato.
17:53As in, you'll be amazed.
17:54So, it's a must-visit for me.
18:02The mountains of Sierra Madre
18:03have a lot of benefits for the province of Quirino.
18:07Aside from being a big help to tourism,
18:09it also serves as a protection against storms.
18:13Above all,
18:14these mountains serve as a home for marine life.
18:18In our visit to them,
18:20we learned that
18:21their resourcefulness in cooking is O.A.
18:24We use wood peels.
18:27This is what serves as a cauldron.
18:30Our ancestors invented this.
18:32Because at that time,
18:34they didn't have a cauldron.
18:36Now that we're a generation,
18:39this is also what we use.
18:41They use fresh tree peels,
18:43which are cooked in a clay pot.
18:45When used fresh,
18:46it doesn't get burnt easily
18:48and can be used again.
18:50What we usually cook here
18:54are fish,
18:57meat,
19:00and rice.
19:02What they cook in this way
19:04is called binisbis.
19:07But today,
19:08they'll try a different way of cooking.
19:12Can a cauldron of tree peels
19:14also use an oven
19:16to cook this pizza?
19:20The pizza is placed on a wooden piece of wood.
19:24Then it's flattened
19:25to cover the top of the pizza.
19:29Wooden pieces of wood are used
19:31to close the wood.
19:33Then it's baked for 5 minutes.
19:37What do you think, Beros?
19:38Can this be cooked?
19:40To make sure,
19:41the farmers thought of
19:43placing the upper part of the wooden piece of wood
19:44on top of the pizza.
19:46And the result?
19:58It's not too overcooked.
20:03It's just right.
20:05Our pizza is successful.
20:09Winner, winner, pizza dinner!
20:14These trees
20:15are not used for cooking.
20:17But they say their fruits are delicious.
20:19Do you know what this is?
20:20Before I reveal it,
20:21let's eat first, Beros.
20:23Let's eat.
20:24We ate fish,
20:26rice,
20:27and meat.
20:29I feel like our cameraman, Rick,
20:31is tasting everything.
20:34Even Jerry
20:36is tasting everything.
20:38But, Siri, what is that?
20:40Bayabas.
20:41That's right.
20:42These are the trees of bayabas.
20:44There are a lot of bayabas in this resort.
20:46So they thought of making
20:48bayabas ice cream.
20:49Sour?
20:50Or sweet?
20:51Or both?
20:55When it comes to guava ice cream,
20:57you know what?
20:58What I really appreciate
21:03is Jerry.
21:05So, what do you think?
21:06His ice cream is better
21:08than the guava ice cream.
21:10Which is good?
21:11Yes.
21:15Kirino Motorismo
21:16is one of the most anticipated
21:17rides in the province of Kirino.
21:20There are many events
21:21in this ride.
21:22There are competitions.
21:26And there are also chill rides
21:28that go around the province.
21:31Did you notice a rider
21:32in an event?
21:36Sir Sam.
21:39In his boldness,
21:40do you think he's 70 years old?
21:43He's Sir Sam's
21:44most anticipated Thunder Rider.
21:47He's so cool.
21:49He's amazing.
21:50At that age,
21:51he can still ride a motorcycle.
21:54He's so cool
21:55because he knows
21:56all the events
21:57at home.
21:59I had the opportunity
22:00to ride with Sir Sam
22:01in a ride.
22:07When did you find
22:08that passion for riding?
22:11Early 80s.
22:12During my first year
22:13in the service
22:14in the government.
22:16Our president
22:17at Kirino State University,
22:18Sir Sam.
22:20In his career,
22:21he can be considered
22:22one of the stress relievers
22:23in riding a motorcycle.
22:26What does riding give you?
22:28The joy of going.
22:29The joy of riding.
22:30The joy of riding.
22:31The joy of riding.
22:32The joy of riding.
22:33The joy of riding.
22:34The joy of riding.
22:35The joy of going places.
22:37Going to places.
22:38Because for me,
22:41if I have gone to a place,
22:43I have conquered the place.
22:45I think you're one of the
22:48aged
22:50riders that I know.
22:51In Kirino.
22:53In Kirino that I met.
22:54What keeps you going, Sir?
22:56Keeps me young.
22:58What do you think
22:59is the correlation
23:00between riding
23:01and I guess
23:03the youthfulness
23:04or fitness?
23:06Physical activity.
23:07Physical activity.
23:08Movement.
23:09Reflexes.
23:11Correct.
23:12Instincts.
23:13When you're riding,
23:15you have to be alert.
23:17100%
23:18Yeah.
23:20The time has come.
23:23Take a break.
23:37This place is so lively.
23:40From the rich
23:42to the cheerful
23:43thinking
23:44and manner.
23:45The locals
23:46give their all.
