00:00 Aside from beautiful views, Tibiau also promotes the active industry of making "palayok".
00:10 I'm here in Tibiau, Antique.
00:13 Tibiau is known for its clay pottery culture.
00:18 In fact, there are barangays here in Tibiau that are really rich in clay.
00:25 That's why their clay pottery industry is so famous here.
00:30 Hi, Ate Nancy!
00:31 Hi, Ma'am!
00:32 Hello!
00:33 Is this what you're making now?
00:35 Like "palayok"?
00:36 Yes.
00:37 Ah, like that.
00:38 How much clay do you get?
00:43 It depends on the mixing.
00:46 Ah, just a little?
00:48 If I'm going to bring it, I'll just take this much.
00:50 But if it's for men, I'll fill it up.
00:53 Then let's help each other.
00:56 How many "palayok" can you make?
01:01 Three.
01:02 Three?
01:03 Yes.
01:04 You're really good.
01:07 So, this is what you're making?
01:15 Yes, Ma'am.
01:16 It's so beautiful!
01:21 The clay will be added with water and cement,
01:25 and then mixed with a "paa."
01:28 Do you need to wet the clay?
01:30 Yes, Ma'am.
01:31 Then you just tap it?
01:33 Yes, Ma'am.
01:34 To mix it?
01:36 Yes, Ma'am.
01:37 To mix it?
01:38 Yes, Ma'am.
01:39 And then the hard clay will soften.
01:41 So, it's still effective?
01:44 Yes.
01:45 This is also an exercise, Ma'am?
01:48 Yes, Ma'am.
01:50 After this, you do this, Ma'am.
01:52 Oh, it needs to be mixed?
01:56 Yes, Ma'am.
01:57 You do this, and then you do bricks.
02:00 This is taking a long time.
02:02 Yes, Ma'am.
02:03 You're tapping it because it's still hard.
02:06 How long do we tap it?
02:11 One hour, Ma'am.
02:12 One hour like this?
02:14 Yes.
02:15 That's a lot.
02:16 After one hour, it will look like this.
02:19 What can we do with this?
02:22 Bricks.
02:23 We can make bricks.
02:24 What about the "palayok"?
02:26 We'll make the "palayok" here.
02:28 This is the extra challenge.
02:31 Can I make a "palayok"?
02:33 Just like this?
02:34 Yes, Ma'am.
02:35 Press it a little, Ma'am.
02:36 Oh, why is it "palayok"?
02:41 Is it a ball?
02:43 Yes, Ma'am.
02:44 Is it a ball?
02:46 The bottom might get pierced.
02:50 No, Ma'am.
02:51 No problem.
02:52 We can do it again.
02:53 How did it become like that?
02:57 It's beautiful.
02:58 Oh, it's sticking.
03:01 Oh, my God.
03:02 It's sticking.
03:07 I think my body should be straight.
03:10 Patience.
03:12 This will also become a ball, guys.
03:14 I tell you.
03:15 What are we doing with this?
03:17 "Palayok".
03:18 "Palayok".
03:19 They really make "palayok" here
03:21 because a lot of their dishes here in Tibiau
03:25 are really cooked in "palayok"
03:28 because it's more delicious when it's cooked in "palayok".
03:30 I don't know what kind of "palayok" I'm making.
03:35 Oh, it might get pierced.
03:38 Wait, let's fix it.
03:41 Oh, it's broken.
03:43 Oh, my gosh.
03:44 Wait.
03:45 It's because it's thin here.
03:48 It's thin here.
03:49 So, it should be even.
03:51 Should I fix it again?
03:53 Yes, Ma'am.
03:54 Can you fix it again?
03:55 I'll fix it again.
03:56 Start from scratch.
03:58 Start from scratch.
04:03 Put a hole.
04:06 Okay.
04:08 Then...
04:10 It's beautiful, Ma'am.
04:11 It's becoming "palayok" now.
04:18 It's going to be "pasupa" now.
04:20 It's going to be full, guys.
04:22 It's like...
04:29 It's hard to put soup in this.
04:32 I think I should make it deeper.
04:35 Ma'am, I'll press it like this.
04:38 You thought it's easy to do but it's hard.
04:40 It's very delicate.
04:42 Your hands can't be heavy here.
04:45 It's like a "tabingue".
04:48 Ma'am, can you fix it?
04:50 Can you fix it?
04:52 There.
04:56 You're good, Ma'am.
04:59 Wait.
05:01 It's done.
05:04 I can put soup now.
05:07 There!
05:09 This is what Ma'am Nancy made.
05:14 It's going to be "palayok".
05:16 I don't know if this is a plate or a bowl.
05:21 As long as you can put soup, it's okay.
05:29 Okay.
05:30 We'll let it dry and then we'll put soup.
