00:00Good evening Kapuso! I am your Kuya Kim who will give you trivia behind the trending news.
00:10Have you noticed plastic bottles containing blue water in your barangay?
00:16Do you know what this is for? That is also the question of a resident from Bulacan.
00:20Let's try to find the explanation.
00:24When Raymond goes out of his house in Malolos, Bulacan, this is what he always goes through.
00:29Out of the blue, plastic bottles containing blue water.
00:33I don't know who started it, but we saw neighbors doing it.
00:38It's like a story spread. Everyone is doing it.
00:42One of Raymond's neighbors who made this is Aiza.
00:45It's been around the house for 3 months. I imitated her.
00:50To make the water blue, he mixes it with annual bluing powder or tina.
00:57But the question is, what are these for?
01:11Are their discharges effective?
01:20Is there an explanation as to why dogs and cats are not afraid of plastic bottles containing blue water?
01:28The water mixed by Aniel is discarded by our countrymen to pollute and dogs and cats do not pee in their barns.
01:35Did you know that this technique is not only done in the Philippines?
01:38It should be noted that this is also done in India.
01:41While in Spain, Argentina, Japan, and Mexico, they only use bottled water.
01:47In Japan, this is called Neko Yoke, which means scarecats.
01:52One of the theories is that dogs and cats are afraid of these when the light reflects from the sun on the plastic bottle.
01:58Some say that dogs do not like the smell of angel or tina mixed with water.
02:04But according to the expert,
02:05There is no evidence that the use of tina or blue water can really deter dogs and cats.
02:14Even if this explanation is true, it is still not proven.
02:21They say that dogs and cats are afraid of plastic bottles.
02:24But did you know that dogs and cats are colorblind?
02:35To see the full colors, we humans have three cones in our eyes.
02:40Red, blue, and green.
02:42But dogs only have two, blue and yellow.
02:45While cats detect blue, yellow, and green.
02:49Because they are not sensitive to red light, they find it difficult to see other colors.
02:54And because dogs are one of the colors they see,
02:58this is also a possible reason why they are afraid of the plastic bottles they put outside.
03:03Because the color of the plastic bottle is visible to them.
03:06They avoid it.
