00:00What will you do if you see a burning tree?
00:08Is this what you call a flame tree?
00:13Did you also hear the sound of a burning fruit?
00:17Cool, right? And very hot!
00:25What if you notice a burning tree?
00:31A fire broke out nearby!
00:40That's what the witnesses say.
00:43Is this the reason or the result of a fire?
00:47This is not the first time that a tree has been seen
00:50that ignited the hearts of its inhabitants.
00:55One of the possible reasons for this to happen is the fire.
01:00It is said that a flame tree has a temperature that is five times hotter than the surface of the sun.
01:08A tree usually has water in its body.
01:12And if it is hit by a flame tree, there is a possibility that it will explode.
01:17Or burn.
01:21Another possible reason is the natural process of tree rot.
01:25When a tree or any plant rots,
01:27it is known that this end product is heat.
01:31If it is exposed to heat, there can be spontaneous combustion
01:35or sudden burning if the condition is right.
01:38And sometimes, this can be the cause of wildfires.
01:44Let's go back to this video.
01:46Unfortunately, the tree in the video died.
01:51And according to the expert, there may be other reasons why it was burned.
01:56I can only hypothesize why the tree is burning.
02:00Because the inside of the tree is already hollow.
02:02Hollow means that the inside is already rotten.
02:05There are many reasons.
02:06It can be disease.
02:07It can be anise.
02:08It can be water.
02:10That penetrates the inside of the wood.
02:12If it is a highly urbanized area,
02:14and there is a hole in the tree that is in the middle of many people,
02:18there may be people who are the first to wear garbage
02:22inside the hollow.
02:23But here in Albay,
02:25there are natural fruits that bloom.
02:28This is not the only place where the rich and the poor live.
02:31From this volcano,
02:32there are also the rich and the poor.
02:35And even the beach.
02:38Do you also have something to do with the fruits that also bloom?
02:42This is the hanga or petroleum nut.
02:46In hanga,
02:48the reason for the bloom is that
02:50it contains heptanes and terpenes.
02:53These are volatile compounds that are flammable.
02:56The fruits, technically,
02:58have a high concentration of those.
03:00Do you also have something to do with this volcano
03:03when it blooms?
03:05It can be seen in the wild,
03:07especially in areas where the elevation is high.
03:11The question is interesting.
03:13Is it a natural phenomenon?
03:15It is a natural phenomenon.
03:16It is a natural phenomenon.
03:18The question is interesting.
03:20If the petroleum nut grows in areas that are involved in volcanoes
03:24or in hot spots because it glows.
03:28But that species can be found throughout the Philippines.
03:33So it was first collected and described in Benguet,
03:36in the Benguet area, Mountain Province.
03:38If you see these fruits,
03:40be warned,
03:42don't eat them!
03:43It's like eating a fruit that contains gasoline.
03:49Gasoline is not edible.
03:51And also, it contains cardiac glycosides.
03:54Cardiac glycosides are compounds that affect the rhythm of the heart.
04:00You can have heart problems and also lead to diarrhea.
04:04All in all, it's not advisable to eat the fruit of petroleum nut.
04:09But it can still be used.
04:12These are natural oils that can be used for massage.
04:16There are folkloric or traditional medicine studies
04:20where indigenous people use it for massage.
04:27We met Tatay Angelo.
04:29He said that this oil is really spicy.
04:34When I applied it to my body,
04:36I felt the heat, the cold, and the spiciness.
04:39And there's no pain when you apply it.
04:43Now, I'm wondering,
04:45if you don't want to be close to insects,
04:47you don't want to be close to flies,
04:49you don't want to be close to insects that can bite you,
04:52why is this so good?
04:54It doesn't have any bad effects on the skin.
04:58It doesn't itch or anything.
05:02Tatay Angelo's wife is an albino.
05:05That's why she decided to raise albinos
05:08and make a business of selling this oil.
05:13Albinos are herbal oils, my friends.
05:16When you apply it, even if it's black like this,
05:19it still contains albinos.
05:22To prove that it's albino,
05:24let's test it.
05:25There's no fee.
05:26For example, you just want to watch or see it.
05:31Does albinos have benefits?
05:33Remember, this is still not a solution to serious feelings.
05:38I only rely on herbal medicine if there's research done.
05:42If there's no research,
05:43how would you know that it is really effective
05:45and it is safe?
05:46Its effectiveness,
05:48its protective mechanism,
05:50its effects,
05:52and is it safe to use?
05:54From trees that suddenly catch fire
05:58to fruits that sprout,
06:01you just have to think about
06:03what other sources of life there are.
06:07Aha!
