00:00This fish is from Misamis Occidental, it is said that it is fond of eating raw food.
00:23Sugpo!
00:27Butiki!
00:30Sea Urchin!
00:33Nimit!
00:34Oh, you even have the sun!
00:37How many of these did he eat? He's still alive!
00:40Mga ka-ha!
00:45Mga ka-ha!
00:46What are the exotic food trips that you've done?
00:52Well, of course, because of the travel show, I've experienced the Bayawak, Malpalaka, Malpalaka.
01:01It's normal.
01:02Ahas!
01:03Nowadays, a lot of people are doing food content vlogs,
01:11that's why people like Retshi Asister, also known as Boy Kilao, have joined.
01:19But can you be sure what food content he's doing?
01:23Aside from eating raw food,
01:28the content also includes eating live animals.
01:32There's no intro to this. Let's try this.
01:36He tried eating a quiet sea urchin.
01:44Even if it's noisy.
01:47I'll try it, idols.
01:48He even moves a fish-shaped fish.
01:56Butiki!
01:57Legit.
01:58It's alive.
01:59I'll give you a partida.
02:01No vinegar.
02:05And you're even alive, Bukid!
02:07No tricks, no tricks.
02:13I started vlogging in May of 2023.
02:19It's been more than a year.
02:22I just posted a video,
02:24and they saw what I did, the yellow sea urchin.
02:29It went viral.
02:30They told me to post another video.
02:32Until I decided to vlog.
02:35My first reaction when I saw my brother's video,
02:40of course, I was surprised.
02:42And I was nervous about what would happen to his health.
02:47Because he's exotic,
02:48it's hard to believe that he can eat it.
02:51But maybe it's because my brother is strong-willed.
02:55This is what I caught in Monsud.
02:58Stay tuned.
03:03The eating of raw meat began in the prehistoric era.
03:07The Homo habilis and Homo erectus ate raw meat.
03:12In the rise of civilization,
03:14in regions where there's limited firewood,
03:17like the Arctic,
03:18indigenous people got used to eating raw fish and meat.
03:22In Japan,
03:23the eating of raw fish, like sashimi,
03:25was traced back to the 8th century.
03:27Back then, instead of soy sauce,
03:29sugar was used as a dip
03:31because using soy sauce is expensive.
03:34Now, back to Boy Kilaw,
03:36who can't wait for raw fish to become sashimi,
03:40which he catches.
03:41That's how we do it.
03:42He doesn't plan to make this kind of content,
03:45but because he's a fisherman
03:47and he lives by the sea,
03:49the raw fish he catches by the sea
03:51is what he likes to make content about.
03:53Before Boy Kilaw's crazy eating of raw fish and fish roe,
03:58he even ate his favorite raw fish
04:01that he even shared how to make.
04:04Let's go.
04:07Let's do this.
04:08I'll put the ingredients here.
04:11Our bangoso is still fresh.
04:20Now, I'll mix the ingredients here
04:22that I made earlier.
04:39Kinilaw is a popular Filipino dish here.
04:42Kinilaw is usually made with seafood.
04:45It's made with vinegar and citrus juice
04:48from calamansi and other ingredients.
04:51The acidity of vinegar or citrus juice
04:53helps the seafood's meat to be cooked.
04:58When it comes to Kilaw,
04:59it's like eating raw meat or fish
05:02with only the vinegar and salt in Bisaya.
05:04According to the old Spanish-Tagalog dictionaries,
05:09Kilaw is a way of cooking
05:13where the meat or fish
05:16is cooked when the vinegar is diluted.
05:19So, this tradition has been around for a long time in the Philippines
05:23and it's not surprising
05:25because we are an archipelago.
05:27We have a lot of fresh fish.
05:30That's why Kilaw is common.
05:33It's a natural product in the Philippines.
05:35It's not imported.
05:38Kilaw is a way of cooking
05:40where seafood is high in protein,
05:43low in carbohydrates,
05:46and saturated fat.
05:48It's also rich in iron and iodine
05:52that can help our body
05:56to produce energy.
05:59Most of the time,
06:00Kilaw's customers request him to make content for them.
06:05I didn't come up with the exotic Kilaw.
06:07I just made requests from those who support me
06:12because they want to watch Kilaw.
06:15I also ate a lot of Kilaw,
06:20such as Butikin and Igat.
06:25For example,
06:27the first thing I tasted was exotic.
06:30I didn't understand the taste.
06:32Butikin tastes like fish
06:36with a bit of fat.
06:38I don't have a permanent location.
06:40If I can catch my Kilawin there,
06:43I'll eat it there.
06:45Because of Retchie's vlogs,
06:47his Facebook page now has 1 million followers.
06:51I made the content
06:53because I saw bloggers making money.
06:58If I make money,
07:00I can also make money.
07:02If more people watch my content,
07:06I feel like I can make better content.
07:13There's something they're afraid of
07:15in the stories of Iloilo and Antique
07:17that are called,
07:18lights.
07:21According to the story,
07:22lights are like giants
07:24that look like monkeys
07:26and live in the forest of Tanay Island.
07:29They have slender bodies,
07:31long hair,
07:32big teeth,
07:34and sharp nails.
07:37But there are those who say
07:39that sometimes,
07:40they wear a Tampi,
07:41or a small underwear.
07:45When it gets stuck in raw meat,
07:47it likes the living victim more.
07:50Right?
07:51Just like humans.
07:53That's why it's called,
07:54lights.
07:55Because it eats people alive
07:57and doesn't cook on fire.
08:00It only attacks at night
08:02when people are asleep.
08:06But there's one thing it's afraid of,
08:08fire.
08:10That's why people in remote areas
08:12before going to sleep,
08:14make a hole under their bed
08:17or in front of their door
08:19to stop the possible attack of lights.
08:23The good thing about this,
08:24making a hole under the bed
08:26or at the door of the house
08:28is a part of the culture of the Antique people.
08:31Especially in many remote places in Antique
08:33where there's no electricity yet.
08:37According to another story,
08:38it's known to be scary
08:40and it chases dogs and monkeys.
08:46Now, the story of lights
08:48is still a legend.
08:50Because until now,
08:51there's no witness to its true existence.
08:56Let's go back to Boy Kilao.
08:58Did he eat botiki and igat?
09:01In this case,
09:02for eating botiki,
09:04Boy Kilao sat in front of the table
09:06so that he can show his food in front of the table.
09:11We didn't want him to show
09:13what he's going to do next.
09:16Here, we don't have vinegar anymore.
09:21He quickly ate botiki,
09:23ninoya,
09:24and nilunok.
09:25I can't do what Boy Kilao is doing.
09:30It's rare for a person to do that.
09:35For eating igat,
09:37he went to his fish trap
09:39to catch fish.
09:42This is what I caught in the mountain.
09:47This is a challenge for you.
09:48This is a light challenge.
10:00There's only one thing that comes to my mind
10:02when I'm content with
10:06eating light food.
10:08One thing that comes to my mind
10:11is that I can eat light food
10:13because it's for my family.
10:15Sometimes,
10:16I'm afraid of the effects
10:18of what I eat.
10:21I might get sick
10:23or I might get poisoned.
10:26Eating raw meat
10:28can be harmful to our body
10:30and can lead to
10:32vomiting,
10:33diarrhea,
10:34and food poisoning.
10:36This can come from places
10:38or habitats
10:40that carry toxins,
10:42infectious diseases,
10:44and bacteria in our body.
10:46Remember that it's better
10:48to cook the food
10:50that we eat
10:52to ensure food safety.
10:56Food gives us energy.
10:58But for those who love raw food
11:00or raw meat,
11:02we always remind them
11:04to be extra careful
11:08because eating raw food
11:10is not for everyone.
11:12So for safety,
11:13if you're not sure,
11:14don't do it.
11:16Aha!
