00:00Here in Talisay, they consider mangroves or bakawan to be rich.
00:07The reason for the popularity of Talisay is what they have been getting for a long time from the bakawan,
00:11the shellfish called tuhoy.
00:20In the three coastal barangays of Talisay, in San Nicolas, tuhoy is the most abundant.
00:25The most accessible for them is tuhoy because every low tide,
00:29wherever it is, here in the area of Nipaan or here in Mangrove, they can get it.
00:35One of the ones who has been getting tuhoy for a long time is Ate Floribel.
00:38She is only 8 years old when her mother, Bebang, taught her how to get it.
00:43It is important for me to get tuhoy because when I was still studying,
00:47that is what I sometimes do to get by in school.
00:50In the past, 100 pieces of tuhoy cost P20.
00:53But now, they sell it for P1 per piece.
01:00For us to know, it makes a sound when you hit it hard, when you catch it.
01:06It makes a different sound when you don't catch it.
01:09It also has a sound.
01:11When Ate Floribel gets a little bit of tuhoy, instead of selling it,
01:14they just make it rain.
01:17The usual dish here is the specialty of Nanny Bebang,
01:20which is tuhoy soup with biswa and patola.
01:24We have also tried it many times,
01:26but we have never been able to get it.
01:28We have never been able to get it.
01:30We have never been able to get it.
01:32We have never been able to get it.
01:34We have never been able to get it.
01:36and patola.
01:38We have already featured different types of clams many times.
01:42But this tuhoy,
01:46you have been honing it for a long time,
01:48since you were 10 years old.
01:51All year round?
01:52Yes.
01:56When I was young, even though you can't buy meat,
01:59they still had it,
02:01they can sew it,
02:03You don't have to do it like that, as long as you have a tool, sir.
02:17There, there, there, there.
02:19Let's put it here.
02:24Oh, that's right, mom.
02:26You don't have to put salt.
02:30In fairness, you know what's good about cooking with mom?
02:34You know the combination of misua and patola.
02:38Great combination.
02:40It tastes fresh, even though it's saltwater, but saltwater fresh.
02:44And definitely, it's not salty.
02:46When the community learned how to create and invent,
02:59they discovered that they can create more than 20 dishes out of tuhoy.
03:04It helped the locals a lot because there were a lot of people ordering
03:08and they had an additional source of income.
03:11But who will take home the Queen Tuhoy Crown?
03:14Ladies, be ready for the test.
03:16I mean, the taste test.
