00:00Good evening Kapuso! I am your Kuya Kim who will give you the trivia behind the trending news.
00:10It's Christmas in Angela City, Pampanga due to the closing of their traditional Parol.
00:16Let's enjoy their colorful celebration.
00:23The streets of Angela City, Pampanga lit up with the closing of this beautiful and colorful Parol.
00:29Every barangay has an entry to the procession.
00:31This is their year of Lubenas of Christmas, an old tradition of the Kapampangans.
00:35It also marks the beginning of one of the favorite Christmas traditions of us Filipinos, the Simbang Gabi.
00:40As a religious tradition that started in 1830, this symbolizes the deep faith and unity of the Angelenos.
00:50But do you know what is the symbol of the Parol that they are closing?
00:55Kuya Kim, what is it?
00:58Lubenas comes from the word Luvina, which means day.
01:02It refers to the day of Simbang Gabi.
01:04Most of us are used to going to Mass early.
01:09The Kapampangans perform the procession on the eve of Simbang Gabi as a penitence and preparation for the birth of Jesus Christ.
01:16And in their procession, they hold lanterns or Parol.
01:20The traditional Parol in Angeles is made of bamboo and paper.
01:26Aside from a dozen Parols that symbolize the Twelve Apostles,
01:29there is also a Parol that looks like a cross and a fish that symbolizes Jesus.
01:35But Lubenas is a tradition that is slowly disappearing.
01:38Aside from Angeles, the municipality of Magalang, San Fernando, Mabalacat, and Mexico.
01:44That is what Lubenas still has.
01:48In order for the religious tradition to continue, which is done every year, it was stopped.
01:55Now, it is still valid after the pandemic.
01:58And because it is a tradition for the Parol to be held in Lubenas during Christmas,
02:02another Christmas tradition is also in progress.
02:04That is why another town in Pampanga was named the Christmas Capital of the Philippines.
02:16This is the most anticipated Ligligan Parol or Giant Lantern Festival in San Fernando, Pampanga.
02:22The named Christmas Capital of the Philippines.
02:24This is where the Parol makers from different barangays in San Fernando come together to make Parols.
02:31The number of Parols is around 20.
02:34And did you know that Ligligan Parol, which was believed to have started in the 1900s,
02:39is part of the old tradition of Lubenas.
02:43Meanwhile, to find out the trivia behind the viral news,
02:45just post or comment,
02:47Hashtag Kuya Kim, what's next?
02:49Always remember, the important thing is to know.
02:51I am Kuya Kim and I will answer you.

03:00Good evening, Kapuso.
03:02I am your Kuya Kim and I will give you the trivia behind the trending news.
03:06If we Filipinos are used to the coldness of Christmas,
03:10those in Australia are sweating now because of the heatwave.
03:18Here in the Philippines, the coldness of Christmas is already felt.
03:21It's the same in other countries, like Japan, where the snow has already started to fall.
03:26But not in the land down under.
03:28In Australia, it's very hot now.
03:30In fact, according to a weather forecasting site,
03:3310 of the hottest cities in the world at 2 p.m. on December 16,
03:38in Australia,
03:40Birdsville in Queensland is the hottest,
03:42where the temperature reached 45.6 degrees Celsius.
03:45This was followed by Urandangi in Queensland,
03:48which reached 45.2 degrees Celsius.
03:51And Whitehaven in Victoria, which recorded 45.1 degrees Celsius.
03:56So this is one of the hottest countries now.
03:59Our countryman Lester, who is a doctor in Australia,
04:02seems to be not used to Christmas, but the weather is still very hot.
04:06I am very hot.
04:07From February, the temperature was very high, 40 degrees.
04:10He was happy with that.
04:12Second, I was in Australia in the summer.
04:14In the summer, the extreme weather temperature is expected.
04:17That's a big change for me.
04:18It's good that he went home to the Philippines.
04:21And he escaped the heatwave in Australia.
04:24At least here, the warmth of his family.
04:28Christmas in the Philippines is really different.
04:31The warmth you feel comes from the heart,
04:33and from the love of your family and friends.
04:37But why is it so hot in Australia this Christmas?
04:41Kuya Kim, ano na?
04:46Christmas in Australia is usually hot,
04:48because they celebrate it every summer.
04:51Australia is located in the Southern Hemisphere,
04:54or the part of the world below the equator.
04:57Because of the Earth's tilt orientation,
04:59Australia is facing the sun at this time.
05:01That's why it receives more heat.
05:04Meanwhile, to find out the truth behind the viral news,
05:06just post or comment,
05:08Kuya Kim, ano na?
05:09Always remember, what's important is what you know.
05:12I'm Kuya Kim, and I'll answer you 24 hours a day.
05:19Good evening, Kapuso!
05:21I'm your Kuya Kim,
05:22and I'll give you a trivia behind the trending news.
05:25There was a big news last year
05:27about the birth of an elephant in our country,
05:29Mali.
05:30But for those who missed Mali,
05:32you have a chance to see him again.
05:35Mali's body was reserved for his return home,
05:39in Manila Zoo.
05:44In all of his trips,
05:45he's always the truck driver.
05:47He's nervous here,
05:48because he only moves once,
05:50and his passenger might get sick.
05:53His ride is unique,
05:54because he's not a taxidermist,
05:55but he's a bodyguard.
05:56He's considered the loneliest elephant in the world.
05:59Viswa Mali, or Mali.
06:00A lot of people recommended Dr. Jason
06:02that I should drive.
06:04It's fun.
06:05Of course, I was chosen.
06:07I'm nervous too.
06:08I can't make a mistake here.
06:10We'll drive Mali.
06:12It's safe and sound that Ann will bring Mali
06:14to his home in Manila Zoo.
06:18Kuya Kim,
06:19how do you preserve an elephant's body
06:21in a taxidermy?
06:22Kuya Kim, what now?
06:25Taxidermy is called
06:26preserving an animal's body
06:27that is dead
06:28to display
06:29or to study.
06:30The skin is used by different chemicals
06:33to remove moisture and dryness.
06:34It's carefully arranged
06:36and attached to the form of the animal.
06:38To make it more realistic,
06:39it's painted or colored.
06:42In Mali's case,
06:43when he died in November last year,
06:45his bones were brought here to Angkat Bulacan
06:47for taxidermy.
06:48It was made by Dr. Jason, a veterinarian.
06:51When I heard the news
06:53about Mali's death,
06:55I immediately posted on social media
06:58any possible connection with Manila Zoo.
07:01A lot of people contacted them
07:02and suggested us.
07:03That's how we came up with the idea.
07:05Out of all of Dr. Jason's pets,
07:07Mali's lions are the most challenging.
07:10We can't stop him,
07:11just like what we do with dogs and cats.
07:14We can see that he's already decaying.
07:16The process needs to be continuous.
07:18That's when I decided
07:19to divide the team.
07:21That's why it took him a long time
07:23to finish preserving an elephant.
07:25Dogs and cats,
07:26it took us 3 to 6 months.
07:28Mali took us about 11 months.
07:32Until December 16,
07:34he was sent by Anne's group
07:36to visit Manila.
07:37It was a long journey.
07:40It took us 7 hours.
07:42We left home at 5 am
07:44because there was a lot of electricity
07:47that Mali could use.
07:49After more than 7 hours of travel,
07:53Mali was able to return to his home
07:56after more than 4 decades.
07:59I'm so proud of myself.
08:02I will never forget what happened to me.
08:05But do you know
08:06what's the biggest taxidermy animal?
08:15One of the biggest taxidermy animals
08:17in the world
08:18is an 8-ton whale shark.
08:21It's the centerpiece of a museum
08:23in Centerport, New York.
08:25The so-called whale shark
08:26has been preserved 2 times.
08:29The original taxidermy model
08:31was damaged
08:32so it had to be restored
08:33using a new method of preservation.
08:36For more trivia,
08:38post or comment
08:40with the hashtag
08:41Kuya Kim Ano Na?
08:42Always remember,
08:43it's important to know.
08:45I'm Kuya Kim
08:46and I'll answer your questions
08:4724 hours a day.
08:53Good evening, dear listeners.
08:54I'm your Kuya Kim
08:55and I'll give you some trivia
08:56behind the trending news.
08:585 days before Christmas,
09:00have you seen your villains?
09:02If not,
09:03get inspired by a villain in Matangas.
09:05It's not just a different concept,
09:06there's also a deep meaning.
09:11In all the villains
09:12or activity scenes
09:13that are now displayed
09:14in homes,
09:15parks, and churches,
09:16this is the one that stands out.
09:18Instead of being in a pool,
09:19St. Joseph and Mary
09:20were in a well
09:21that was submerged in water.
09:23And because their bones help
09:24their spouses,
09:25and their spouses,
09:26while they serve
09:27the needy,
09:28they received help.
09:30Maybe what we see here
09:31is that we need to help others,
09:33especially those who are in need.
09:35The bones continue
09:36even though it's hard,
09:37they can't do it.
09:38But their hope in life
09:39is still there.
09:41This is one of the three villains
09:42that are now displayed
09:43in the National Shrine
09:44of St. Padre Pio
09:45in Santo Tomas, Matangas.
09:46According to the leadership
09:47of Padre Pio Shrine,
09:48the concept of their villain
09:49is based on the experience
09:50of our fellow countrymen
09:51who were attacked
09:52by successive
09:53typhoons this year.
09:54We have fellow countrymen
09:55here in Laurel
09:56who were attacked
09:57by Hurricane Christine
09:58which is still in evacuation.
10:00That's where the inspiration
10:01came from.
10:02From there,
10:03we developed the concept
10:04to make it simple
10:05to build.
10:06The villains
10:07were built
10:08by employees
10:09who only used
10:10recycled materials.
10:11The old ones
10:12were piled up
10:13and put together.
10:14It's very challenging
10:15not to look like garbage
10:16but to portray
10:17the simplicity.
10:18And the message
10:19that came
10:20from their villain
10:21in the midst
10:22of our hardships
10:23in the midst
10:24of calamities
10:25is that God
10:26is always there
10:27to accompany us
10:28in our hardships.
10:29And secondly,
10:30it's a deep inspiration
10:31to us
10:32in helping
10:33our fellow countrymen.
10:36Kuya Kim,
10:37when did you use
10:38the villains?
10:39Kuya Kim,
10:40what now?
10:41Kuya Kim,
10:42what now?
10:43Before the villains
10:44or TPTC
10:45that we're displaying
10:46now became popular,
10:47there are old movies
10:48from the 4th century
10:49that show
10:50the birth of Jesus.
10:51In 1223,
10:52St. Francis of Assisi
10:53set up
10:54a pool
10:55that he filled
10:56with diamonds
10:57and he also put
10:58an ox and donkey
10:59to show
11:00the birth of Jesus.
11:01According to experts,
11:02this is probably
11:03the first live nativity scene
11:04in history.
11:05It spread
11:06quickly
11:07in different parts
11:08of Europe.
11:09In Italy,
11:10it's called
11:11presepio.
11:12In France,
11:13creche
11:14which means
11:15crib or crib.
11:16In Spain,
11:17the villains
11:18became popular
11:19in the 16th century
11:20and did you know
11:21that there's a province
11:22that seems to have
11:23a connection
11:24with their culture
11:25that's why
11:26they're called
11:27the Villain Capital
11:28of the Philippines.
11:32The Villain Capital
11:33of the Philippines
11:34is the province
11:35of Tarlac.
11:36Here,
11:37the villainism
11:38of the Tarlac Festival
11:39is being perpetuated
11:40year by year
11:41where the villains
11:42are making
11:43the nativity scene
11:44better.
11:45The province
11:46has a deep
11:47connection
11:48and love
11:49for how they
11:50create each
11:51petal
