00:00If you're going to a place, it's not complete to rest if there's no music and nature.
00:14For Datu Wawai of Talaandig Tribe in Bukidnon, this is the treasure that gives color to their life.
00:22This is one of the traditional instruments that he can play.
00:27He can only move two strings.
00:33This is the katiapi, made of wood and shaped like a boat.
00:40But it's not just the ability to play katiapi that Datu Wawai wants to share with the community.
00:46He also has another outstanding talent, painting.
00:51He doesn't use paint, but soil.
00:55He started in the 90s with simple painting using soil and paintbrush.
01:00Until he got old, he was able to create a modern version.
01:05Because when the soil hardens, it becomes clay and he uses it in different designs.
01:14Our dream is to open the minds of the youth,
01:19not just in Bukidnon, but all over the world.
01:21What is the importance of soil in a person's life?
01:25Especially the topsoil.
01:27Because if there's no topsoil, there's no rice to grow.
01:30There's nothing.
01:31Soil painting is a gateway for the youth to understand.
01:39He also sticks glue to his work and the result is a 3D work.
01:45The rare works and workshops that Datu Wawai and his group do
01:49are expected to be a way for Bukidnon to carve history
01:53and to set the Guinness World Record as the Soil Painting Capital of the World.
02:05And here at the Museum of Bukidnon State University,
02:08you can see the works of the group and the students
02:11who were taught by them.
02:20Come, let's travel and admire their unique music.
02:26I was greeted by students from 7 tribes of Bukidnon.
02:30I couldn't help but dance and follow their unique instruments.
02:36The dance is similar to the movements of different animals.
02:39There are monkeys, birds, and horses.
02:47This is where I met Isoy.
02:49She was one of the first to be taught by Datu Wawai
02:52how to paint using soil.
02:54She is also a visual artist and an art teacher at the university.
02:58Do you know?
02:59Here in Bukidnon, the color of the soil is different in each place.
03:03According to experts,
03:05the color depends on where it contains water, minerals,
03:09and other organic matter.
03:11In the area where Datu Wawai and the Talaandig tribe live,
03:15the soil is brown and chocolate.
03:18Meanwhile, there is red here,
03:20which is the color of the soil.
03:23The soil is brown and chocolate.
03:26Meanwhile, there is red here in Malaybalay,
03:29which is the center or capital of the province.
03:31The soil is yellow in Talakag.
03:33And in high places like Manolo Fortich,
03:36the soil is silver.
03:40And of course, to make the visit more worthwhile,
03:43I will also try to paint using soil.
03:46Isoy and I will do the challenge with our interpretation of
03:50I wonder.
03:51Let's go!
03:56Isoy tried using different colors of soil.
03:59The message of this is I wonder
04:02because we should have a lot of knowledge.
04:06But before we can learn new knowledge,
04:10we need to empty our cup.
04:14You're right, Isoy.
04:15I chose to focus on the basic colors of the soil,
04:18black and brown.
04:20Not bad for a first-timer.
04:23I was able to complete the inverted question mark
04:26in the I wonder logo.
04:27See?
04:28With matching outline and shading.
04:31Juan's questions, we will give the answers
04:34here in I wonder.
04:39Isoy painting is amazing.
04:42Sometimes, even if you like to paint,
04:44when you don't have money,
04:45it's expensive because what you use is pricey.
04:47Especially the paint itself.
04:49But here, it's just soil.
04:51And different colors.
04:53Wow!
04:54You're amazing!
05:16I wonder.
05:17Let's go!
