00:00Let's go to Davao, where durian is being sold in their Kadayawan Festival.
00:11There's a party going on in Davao City.
00:15Long live Kadayawan!
00:22Along with their Kadayawan Festival,
00:25it's also the time when the King of Fruits,
00:29or the King of Fruits, is in full swing.
00:33He's stomping on the streets,
00:35making fun of the terminals,
00:37and selling fruits at the fruit stands.
00:42You won't be able to avoid it,
00:45or you'll die because of the smell.
00:48There's no other, but durian!
00:55Here in Magsaysay Park,
00:57where you can find a lot of fruit stands,
01:00durian is flooding.
01:02The price has dropped.
01:0460 kilos of durian, ma'am, sir.
01:07My father loves durian so much.
01:10My mother sells durian delicacies.
01:14That's how they make a living.
01:16Durian's skin is thick and wrinkled.
01:20This is not a joke.
01:23He's an expert in peeling durian.
01:25I'm going to pound this,
01:27because the sound is like a hammer.
01:29They're also experienced in how to cut it.
01:33When we cut it, that's the guide.
01:35How to open it.
01:36One, two, three, four, five.
01:41Oh!
01:44They say durian is delicious here.
01:46It's our first time eating durian here.
01:49When in Davao, do what the Davaoennius do.
01:52Eat durian with your bare hands.
01:55It's sweet.
01:56Actually, we're happy because we won't have a hard time.
01:59And so that it doesn't stick to your fingers,
02:02or leave its smell,
02:04there's a technique.
02:06Put water on its skin,
02:08and wash your fingers with it.
02:10There's no smell, sir?
02:12No smell at all.
02:13If the durian is not delicious,
02:14you can replace it with a more delicious one.
02:17For those who are on the go,
02:19Alma also sells durian meat
02:22that costs P250 per container.
02:26It should be hard before it travels.
02:32The durians harvested on Jose's farm
02:35here in Kalinan, in Davao City,
02:39are for export quality.
02:41In demand in China.
02:43We have a Chinese member.
02:46He's the one who started going there,
02:48and the market there is strong.
02:50They eat smoothies,
02:52flavoring their foods,
02:54and they also do transshipment in other countries.
02:56It's a big help to the farmers.
02:58Two types of durian are harvested on their farm.
03:01The so-called durian puyat,
03:04which has a bigger and thicker meat.
03:07And the D101,
03:09which has a heart-shaped and creamy meat.
03:13It's a bit bitter, but it's creamy.
03:15It's been a long time since I've had a creamy durian.
03:17Come on, let's look for one that can be harvested.
03:26For those who are on the go,
03:28they should be careful when picking them up.
03:30It's dangerous because it can hit people.
03:34When you pick it up,
03:36you should also put it in a bag so that it won't fall down.
03:50Jose, who used to be rich because of poverty,
03:53was blessed with three hectares of land.
03:57Now, it's multiplied by ten.
04:00Three hectares before,
04:02Jose already has three hectares of 3,000 fruit-bearing trees.
04:07Including durian.
04:09For those who can't export durian,
04:11our locals will do it
04:12so that they can taste the cheap durian.
04:15For God's sake, it's still worth it.
04:17Durian pasta is really expensive.
04:1977% of the durian supply in the Philippines
04:24comes from Mindanao.
04:25The soil here in Davao is clay-loam,
04:28which is suitable for growing durian.
04:31It can also penetrate the roots of the soil
04:34because it's a bit loose.
04:37So, for those who crave for durian,
04:39it's so good in Mindanao.
04:48In fact, in Kidapawan City in Cotabato,
04:51you can unlimukbang durian for only P150.
04:57How many have you eaten?
04:59I'm only on my third plate so far,
05:00but I still want more.
05:02For you to know, there are also a lot of durians in Kidapawan.
05:06We have 600 hectares of durian here.
05:10It's around 100 to 200 kilos per day.
05:12LGU is in charge of this.
05:14It's for the farmers who love to give
05:16so that they can grow more in the field.
05:18The newest holder of the title of the most durian
05:23that can be unlimukbang in one sitting is Mark.
05:27In just one minute,
05:29Mark was able to finish 1 kilo of durian
05:32or almost 7 seeds of it.
05:51He has already worked hard and won 1 kilo of durian.
05:55He also won P1,000.
05:57I bought a lot of durian to eat.
05:59I bought a lot of rice to eat.
06:01Did your handsome face work?
06:05Yes.
06:09Durian has a high cholesterol content,
06:12but it doesn't mean that it has bad cholesterol or high cholesterol.
06:16Durian doesn't increase blood pressure.
06:19Durian has a high fiber content.
06:21If you have diabetes,
06:23just make sure that your blood sugar level is not too high.
06:27Durian from the city of Tigak Kidapawang
06:30is not just eaten by hands.
06:36They also grill it so that it will have a smoky flavor.
06:42This is how the Durian Boys do it.
06:44They grill or sinugbang durian.
06:48In our office in Thailand,
06:50we are allowed to grill durian because there are a lot of durians in Kidapawan.
06:54Each member has a griller and a griller.
06:57When it's cooked, it will have a smoky flavor.
07:02And they serve it.
07:05And to level up the taste of the durian,
07:09they blowtorch it.
07:13And they also grate it with cheese.
07:18Yay!
07:21It's savory.
07:22It's sweet from the durian.
07:23It's salty from the cheese.
07:25It has a smoky flavor.
07:30Because the durian is so creamy,
07:33it's also good as a candy and other delicacies,
07:37just like what Roberto and his family sell.
07:41She made lakko of her pasilya sa leche.
07:45She made lakko of her pasilya sa leche and even the durian yema
07:50in government offices on foot.
07:53Durian in Canada,
07:55unlike in the Philippines,
07:56has a smoky flavor.
08:08The distinct taste of durian is still there.
08:12Aside from durian,
08:14Davao is also famous for their cocoa,
08:17which is made into chocolate.
08:19But for those who crave for these two fruits,
08:23no problem!
08:25Because of Lake Cebu,
08:27in South Cotabato,
08:29the cocoa and durian
08:31are mixed together.
08:34It's also not bitter.
08:36The color is green if it's raw.
08:38It's brown if it's ripe.
08:41When you open it,
08:43you'll find the durian's flavor.
08:46They call it durian cacao.
08:49Durian cacao is similar to durian.
08:51It's from the D.I.
08:53My brother planted it.
08:55Only one fruit grew.
08:57It smells like durian,
09:00but it looks like cacao.
09:02Its local name is Smocambo.
09:04It came from Central and South America.
09:07It has a similar climate.
09:08It's not really a relative of durian
09:10but a close relative of cacao.
09:12Durian is more delicious.
09:14It's bitter.
09:16Smells like hell,
09:18but tastes like heaven.
09:20So yummy!
09:22That is durian,
09:24which is truly
09:26unique!
09:31Thank you for watching, Kapuso!
