00:00Are you tired of being single?
00:02If your wish is to be taken,
00:07it's possible to make it come true.
00:10All you need to do is
00:14come back to the rock.
00:18This rock can be found in Lake Holon
00:21which is also known as the Crown Jewel of the South
00:24in the province of Tiboli, South Cotabato.
00:26Aside from camping, hiking
00:28and other activities that can be done here,
00:31another thing that tourists recommend is the Kissing Stone.
00:35I believe in it.
00:36A lot of people have tried to go back there.
00:38They also had a love life.
00:39Tourists here believe that
00:41if you go back to the Kissing Stone,
00:43you will find a partner.
00:45One day, Flory May believed in this rock.
00:49She went back,
00:51prayed,
00:52and only two months later,
00:54they were already in a relationship.
00:56And on December 2023,
00:59they were happily married.
01:01You will really have a baby.
01:05But what happened
01:07when a simple rock
01:09became the answer to your wish?
01:15According to locals,
01:17the rock is known as the Wishing Stone.
01:21But most of the wishes fulfilled here
01:24are about love.
01:26If you roll it on the rock,
01:27they're asking something to the stone.
01:29It became viral because
01:31around 100 stones were given.
01:35Because the more that you ask something to that certain thing,
01:39positively,
01:40the power and energy will be given to you.
01:43That's why tourists
01:45never stop climbing.
01:47One of them is Rene,
01:48who is hashtag single.
01:51Rene is happy to hike
01:53with his friends.
01:55That's why when they heard about the Kissing Stone,
01:58they were curious.
02:00One of our friends said
02:02that we will go to the back of the rock
02:03to find a partner.
02:05He said that we need to go back to a rock.
02:08That's why on April 2022,
02:10from Cagayan de Oro,
02:11the group will travel for 8 hours
02:13to reach the rock.
02:16When it comes to the Kissing Stone,
02:18there are a lot of people.
02:19We were laughing because
02:20a lot of people kissed.
02:21It's really weird.
02:22It's so weird.
02:23But because he's ready to fall in love again,
02:27Rene already kissed the rock.
02:29I kissed it.
02:30My tongue came out.
02:37I went back to the top of the Kissing Stone.
02:39I kissed the rock 360 degrees.
02:42His wish is that
02:43his partner will be seen
02:45and have a child.
02:47I really felt that
02:48my wishes will come true
02:50after I came back to the rock.
02:54Just a month later,
02:56Rene
02:57was already on the talking stage.
02:59But it didn't work out.
03:01All the people I chatted with
03:02or on my talking stage,
03:03we don't have the same hobbies
03:07in outdoor.
03:08That's why we didn't click.
03:11But he didn't lose hope
03:12because his friends
03:14who were with him when he went up there
03:15already had a boyfriend.
03:17And this is September 2023.
03:20The long wait is over.
03:22The kiss on the rock
03:25seems to have an effect.
03:27When Rene met Wendy.
03:29She has a TikTok.
03:30Her dance was amazing.
03:31I was mesmerized.
03:32I reacted a lot.
03:33That's when she noticed me.
03:35The first time we met
03:37was through Vibes.
03:39We've known each other for a long time.
03:41She was starstruck by me at that time.
03:43It's because I just took a bath.
03:45I haven't taken a bath for a long time
03:46when I don't have a boyfriend.
03:51The two of them are in sync
03:52when it comes to their hobbies.
03:55That's why Rene's single
04:00is finally taken now.
04:02I feel like at that time,
04:04she was in love with me.
04:06She always said,
04:07I love you.
04:09Even before I took a bath,
04:10I said I love you right away.
04:12It's so nice to be in love.
04:15But it's not just a girlfriend
04:16who gave Rene a rock.
04:18Even her one request
04:20came true.
04:21In the four months
04:22that Wendy and I were together,
04:24we really planned that January
04:26that we would go to Lake Olón in February.
04:28Suddenly, we found out
04:30that she was pregnant at that time.
04:32Do you know that this is considered a miracle?
04:35When Rene was young,
04:37the doctor told her
04:38that she will have a hard time giving birth
04:40because of her operation.
04:43But because of her belief,
04:45now, she will be a father.
04:48Before, she was kissing a rock.
04:51Now,
04:53she's kissing a baby
04:54and her soon-to-be wife.
04:56I promise you
04:57that I won't let you
04:58become our baby.
05:02Very good.
05:03I love you.
05:05I love you.
05:08We met Jimmy
05:10because of that.
05:11Actually,
05:12I've been single for a year.
05:15Jimmy came from a 5-year relationship
05:17before he became single.
05:19Because of the long time
05:20that he spent with his ex,
05:22he had a hard time moving on.
05:24You can't sleep,
05:25you can't eat,
05:26you're always in a daze.
05:28But they said that
05:30there are reasons
05:31and things that happened.
05:33So when he found out
05:34about the kissing stone,
05:36he practiced
05:37how to kiss it.
05:42And he immediately prepared
05:43for the high.
05:45I hope I can move on.
05:48And for today's video,
05:49we will accompany him
05:51on his journey to moving on.
05:54Before he sees the rock,
05:56he needs to climb it
05:57for almost 2 hours.
05:59And before he climbs it,
06:00he needs to go to the orientation.
06:04Here, you can also see
06:05the tribe of Tiboli
06:06welcoming the visitors
06:08by dancing.
06:16With his tour guide,
06:18Jimmy started climbing.
06:24Okay,
06:25we're here at the first station.
06:27This is what they call
06:29Century Tree.
06:31We're going to Lake Colón.
06:33Let's go.
06:44We're here at the second station.
06:46We're going to Lake Colón.
06:48In the middle of the high,
06:50it looks like it's raining.
06:53It's raining.
06:55How about moving on?
06:58There's a saying in South Cotabato.
07:00If you kiss a rock,
07:03you can find your way.
07:08Is there a rock in South Cotabato?
07:13Answer,
07:14to find your way?
07:18Jimmy's group
07:19accompanied Good News
07:20to climb it.
07:22We're here at the first station.
07:24We're here at the second station.
07:28It's raining.
07:36Finally,
07:38we're almost there.
07:40We're almost there.
07:42We're moving on.
07:48After two hours,
07:53Finally,
07:54this is what I've been waiting for.
07:58To kiss a kissing stone.
08:00You know the drill, Jimmy.
08:02You can kiss and hug.
08:10I hope
08:12I can move on
08:14and find a new partner.
08:18I hope I can find you.
08:24This belief
08:26is part of the culture of the Tiboli tribe.
08:28We are indigenous people.
08:30We believe in supernatural well-being
08:33that connects to stones,
08:34to trees,
08:35to rivers,
08:36to lakes.
08:37Our gods and goddesses
08:39live in the living things around us.
08:42We have a concept called the unconscious
08:45because we have a belief
08:49about something.
08:50Unconsciously,
08:52we make efforts
08:54to fulfill our wish
08:56from the kissing stone.
09:00That's why there's nothing wrong
09:02with kissing and begging.
09:05What's important is
09:06to believe and pray
09:08that your long-awaited forever
09:12will come and will come.
