00:00 Clean, white and soft skin.
00:05 Can you imagine the secret of our contessera and gawander, Shane?
00:09 To achieve this, not regular visits to derma and not beauty products.
00:16 But the rarest sea creatures found in La Union province.
00:29 Asian swamp eel or kiwet, if you will.
00:32 Back then, beauty pageants were full of Shane.
00:39 Since I was a child, I've always liked to join beauty pageants.
00:43 Because many people told me that I can do it,
00:47 that my skin is beautiful and fair.
00:51 But for her beautiful skin,
00:54 would you believe that Shane doesn't use any beauty products?
00:59 He lives off of these.
01:01 But for the kiwet, his glowing skin is rare.
01:07 Shane believes that he achieved fair and clean skin because of eating this.
01:13 Shout out to our gawander!
01:16 Sana all!
01:17 I don't use any skin care products.
01:22 I just eat kiwet.
01:24 That's all I have in my skin.
01:28 That's why it's fair.
01:29 But even though Shane achieved fair skin,
01:32 he's still working hard for a cleaner skin
01:35 because his goal is to get rid of the corona
01:39 and join the beauty pageant.
01:41 And the solution?
01:43 Kiwet.
01:44 If that's your secret, Shane,
01:47 let's go on an adventure in the town of Sidipen, still in La Union.
01:52 Shane's story is that he was just grilled when he tasted the kiwet.
01:56 That's why our gawander, Tatay Noly,
01:58 will teach him a trick.
02:00 The trick of the kiwet.
02:03 When you eat kiwet, your body gets stronger.
02:07 But Tatay Noly,
02:09 Shane will accompany you to catch the kiwet
02:12 before you show your big trick.
02:15 Unlike the typical hand-to-hand catching of the kiwet,
02:19 Tatay Noly uses a net.
02:22 It's easier to catch because you just have to lay down and wait for the net.
02:26 In a long net,
02:28 a long rod or fishing rod is attached.
02:31 Here, the small shrimp will be stuck and he will feed the kiwet.
02:34 Tatay Noly's advice is that the shrimp is alive
02:38 so that the chance of catching is higher.
02:40 The fish is laid on the river
02:46 and after 4 hours,
02:48 it can be removed.
02:50 Tatay Noly,
02:52 did Shane successfully catch the kiwet?
02:54 Oh, your assistant seems to be good, Tatay Noly.
03:01 Tatay Noly also taught Shane
03:07 how to use the so-called net
03:09 to catch the kiwet.
03:11 Shane is lucky because that day,
03:14 he was able to catch a lot of kiwet.
03:17 In eating fish every day,
03:19 we can say that it's still safe
03:21 to have variety and balance in our food.
03:27 For example, chicken has certain nutrients
03:30 that you can only see in it or it's high in nutrients.
03:33 There should be always this moderation,
03:35 variety and balance to all of the food items.
03:38 Where else will you direct the kiwet?
03:42 In the kitchen!
03:45 Now, Tatay Noly will show us
03:47 his recipe for the raw kiwet.
03:49 Father, what are the processes
03:51 of cooking kiwet?
03:53 First, we remove the inner skin.
03:58 This skin is tough,
04:00 especially if it's a chicken,
04:02 but even if it's a chicken,
04:04 it's not good if the skin is raw.
04:06 The preparation of the raw kiwet
04:10 is just like the usual process of raw fish.
04:14 Just cut the skin of the kiwet into small pieces.
04:17 This is how you season a raw kiwet.
04:20 If you can make ricado ng luya,
04:23 you just pound it like this.
04:26 When cutting fish,
04:29 you can add vinegar and squeeze it at the same time
04:31 to remove the fishy smell and make it more delicious.
04:34 You can add a little bit of garlic,
04:37 but you will pound it with onion.
04:40 After that, add calamansi.
04:42 If you don't like calamansi, you can add lemon.
04:45 Wonders, our raw kiwet is now ready.
04:52 It's so delicious.
04:57 This is really delicious.
04:58 Because you requested, Shane,
05:02 the different kinds of kiwet ingredients,
05:04 here it is.
05:05 And it looks like Tatay Noly is still waiting for you.
05:09 This is what we call tinungbo.
05:11 It's from Opopla, Sudipo, and La Union.
05:14 This is what we ate before and until now.
05:17 You can taste it.
05:19 Is it a lot or just a little?
05:21 Just a little, father.
05:22 Aside from their kiwet,
05:24 Tatay Noly also prepared a kiwet paksiw.
05:27 The favorite of the northerners, dinengdeng.
05:30 Tatay Noly also cooked it,
05:32 but of course, kiwet is still the main ingredient.
05:35 The kiwet was also made like this,
05:37 just with eggplant.
05:39 I believe that when you eat kiwet,
05:42 it helps to clean the skin,
05:45 and to make the body beautiful and strong.
05:50 But I wonder,
05:52 is it possible that the Asian Swamp Eel or kiwet
05:56 can make the skin white and clean?
05:59 The eel or also called naigat or kiwet in the north,
06:04 relatively, they are high in calories because of its fat content.
06:09 The eel has collagen,
06:12 just like other fish species,
06:15 that has high collagen content in the skin and bones.
06:21 Just like other fish species,
06:24 it has high collagen content.
06:26 Collagen is what we need.
06:29 It serves as the protein.
06:31 It serves as the protein in the human body.
06:35 So it also supports us to give us a beautiful skin,
06:40 the most elasticity and strength in our body.
06:43 Hep hep, Tatay Noly and Shane,
06:52 it looks like you enjoyed eating kiwet.
06:55 Kawander, I will challenge Shane to eat kiwet.
06:59 The one who eats first will be the winner.
07:03 Okay, let's start.
07:05 This kiwet is delicious.
07:15 Hurry up, I might lose.
07:19 I'm almost there, Shane.
07:25 How can you wait? I'm almost done.
07:27 Ouch!
07:29 You ate a lot of kiwet, Shane.
07:33 I'm sure that in the next beauty pageant,
07:38 you will also achieve to be the grand winner.
07:42 Yeah!
07:44 I'm not sure if I can do it.
07:46 I'm not sure if I can do it.
07:49 I'm not sure if I can do it.
07:52 I'm not sure if I can do it.
07:55 I'm not sure if I can do it.
07:58 I'm not sure if I can do it.
08:01 I'm not sure if I can do it.
08:04 I'm not sure if I can do it.
