00:00When I returned to Bukidnon after 14 years, I was full of anxiety and excitement about my new discoveries.
00:09The first stop I chose was known as one of the cleanest waters in Northern Mindanao in 1990.
00:21Welcome to Bukidnon!
00:24Now, we're here at Lake Apo. I'm in Valencia City.
00:30Look at the view. It's so beautiful.
00:36While I was admiring the picture-friendly Lake Apo in its floating cottage,
00:40I couldn't help but pose and feel grateful for the beautiful view.
00:45The aura was so beautiful.
00:47Travel photos, check now!
00:50Lake Apo is a type of crater lake.
00:53It means that it was formed from a volcano that was filled with water.
00:58It has an area of 24 hectares and can reach up to 26 meters deep.
01:04It was called Lake Apo because the word Apo in Bisaya means old, just like our grandparents.
01:12According to legends, there was an old man living in this mountain who mistreated his grandson.
01:19As punishment, the gods of the mountain created the area where he lived until Lake Apo was formed.
01:31When we reached the other side of the lake, we saw the entire barangay of Gino Yoran in Valencia City.
01:39Why would you have a problem if you don't have a budget to go to other countries?
01:44While here, you can see what other countries have, right?
01:50Of course, let's take a look at the Philippines first.
01:54Can you see what I'm seeing?
01:57Oh my God, this is so beautiful.
01:59Beautiful.
02:01Old trees.
02:03Mountains around.
02:06Wow.
02:07This is really a family trip.
02:10You can do everything here in the beautiful Bukidnon.
02:15You will enjoy the beautiful views here.
02:20This is one of the places you can go if you have IT.
02:25If you are going to Bukidnon, this is Lake Apo.
02:30In order to lower the temperature in Bukidnon, what else is good to plant?
02:34If you can't pack chocolate bars or hot water bottles,
02:38you can make cacao.
02:44There you go, Wanderers.
02:45Did you know that Bukidnon is starting to be known because of their cacao products?
02:54There you go.
02:56There you go.
02:57Oh, I can already smell it.
03:02It's really tasty.
03:04Even to the tip of my teeth.
03:10The mountains are rising.
03:11Pine trees are growing.
03:13The fog is thick.
03:14It is accompanied by a cold climate.
03:16Wanderers, we are not in Baguio, okay?
03:19We are here in Pine Ridge, Malaybalay, Bukidnon.
03:23This place was opened to the public in 2020.
03:26This place is a partnership with Bukidnon Taguluanon Tribe.
03:31They own the area and we developed the place.
03:34And of course, we share a certain percentage of the income.
03:43There is no signal and no internet here.
03:45So, leave what is behind.
03:48And just enjoy nature.
03:50You can also have a me-time with your loved ones.
03:57If you are looking for a quiet, quiet campsite,
04:00you will definitely like this place.
04:04We are proud of Davao del Sur.
04:07As you can see, the place is very relaxing.
04:12So, we enjoyed it.
04:13Hopefully, we can come back here next year.
04:15It's so delicious.
04:16As in, you have to go to Baguio, but Baguio from the South.
04:20Yes!
04:24Wanderers, have you ever thought about where you can get chocolate like Sikwate?
04:30In Pine Ridge, not only is the campsite spacious,
04:33but their food is also delicious.
04:37In Pine Ridge, not only is the campsite spacious,
04:40but their food is also delicious.
04:41Because there is also a 7-hectare cacao farm here.
04:44And one of the cacao farmers,
04:46who is also a member of the Bukidnon Taguluanon Tribe,
04:50is our wanderer, Alex.
04:55Before you can touch the sweet tablea,
04:57you have to go through a bitter process.
05:00It takes 5 years for the cacao to grow.
05:04This is also how our wanderer, Alex, lived his life.
05:08He had bitter experiences, but he tried to find sweetness in his life.
05:34Back then, he was far from his family.
05:42Now, because of his hard work, he is with them every day.
05:47It is true that every breath,
05:49the hard work and love of the cacao farmers of Bukidnon shines.
05:55So, the next time you take a sip of your hot Sikwate from Bukidnon,
05:59know that you are special, mga ka.
