00:30I was amazed, I was surprised, I was like, there are so many hidden beauties of Bukid

00:56North.

00:57When you see these places, you will think that you are in the Philippines.

01:03It's cold.

01:04I don't like it.

01:05Wow.

01:06It's crazy.

01:07It's crazy.

01:08This is so cool.

01:09I'm so excited.

01:11Let's spoon ourselves.

01:29Let's spoon ourselves.

01:37It's delicious.

01:38I can't explain how it tastes.

01:39I'm going to die.

01:53I'm going to kill you.

02:00I'm going to kill you.

02:10Our dream is to open up the freedom of youth.

02:15Not only in Bukidnon, but all over the world.

02:17What is the value of land in the lives of people?

02:22I'm going to kill you.

02:24Not only in Bukidnon, but all over the world.

02:38Before we can learn new knowledge, we need to empty our cups.

02:52Let's rest here in Bukidnon, Wakawander.

03:05This is my third time in Bukidnon.

03:07I was here for a coverage.

03:09It's not like this, I don't remember what I saw there.

03:15What did I see there?

03:17I fell in love with Bukidnon.

03:21I fell in love with Bukidnon because I saw beautiful places there that I've never seen before.

03:31In my return to Bukidnon after 14 years,

03:34I was full of anxiety and excitement about what I will discover.

03:39The first stop I chose was known as one of the cleanest waters in Northern Mindanao in 1990.

03:51Wakawander, welcome to Bukidnon.

03:54We're here at Lake Apo.

03:56I'm in Valencia City.

04:01Look at the view, it's so beautiful.

04:06While I was admiring the picture-friendly Lake Apo in its floating cottage,

04:10I couldn't help but pause and feel grateful for the beautiful view.

04:15The aura was so beautiful.

04:17Travel photos, check now.

04:22Lake Apo is a type of crater lake.

04:24It means that it was formed from a volcano that was filled with water.

04:29It has an area of 24 hectares and can reach up to 26 meters deep.

04:34It was called Lake Apo because the word Apo in Bisaya means old, just like our grandparents.

04:43According to the legends, there was an old man living in this mountain who mistreated his grandson.

04:50And as punishment, the gods of the mountain gave him the place where he lived until Lake Apo was formed.

05:00When we arrived at the other side of the lake,

05:04we saw the entire barangay of Gino Yoran in Valencia City.

05:10Why would you have a problem if you don't have a budget to go to other countries?

05:14While here, you can already see what other countries have, right?

05:20Of course, let's take a look at the Philippines first, right?

05:24There.

05:25Can you see what I see?

05:27Oh my God, this is so beautiful.

05:29Beautiful.

05:30There.

05:31Old trees.

05:33There.

05:34Mountains around.

05:36Wow.

05:37This is really for family, for friends.

05:40You can really do everything here in this beautiful Bukidnon.

05:45And you will enjoy this one to one.

05:47The beautiful views here.

05:49So this is just one of the places you can go.

05:52I will include it in your IT.

05:55If you go to Bukidnon, this is Lake Apo.

06:03In lowering the temperature in Bukidnon,

06:05what else is delicious to plant?

06:07If you can't pack chocolate bars,

06:09or if you can't take a hot bath,

06:11it's made from cocoa.

06:13Wow.

06:17There, wonderers.

06:18Did you know that Bukidnon is starting to be known

06:22because of their cocoa products?

06:27There.

06:28Mmm.

06:29Oh, I can already smell it.

06:33Mmm.

06:34It's really tasty.

06:36Until the end of my teeth.

06:38Hahaha.

06:40The mountains are rising.

06:42Pine trees are growing.

06:44The fog is thick.

06:45It is accompanied by a cold climate.

06:47Wonderers, we are not in Baguio, okay?

06:50We are here in Pine Ridge, Malaybalay, Bukidnon.

06:56It was opened to the public in 2020.

06:59This place is a partnership with Bukidnon Tagalwanon Tribe.

07:04They own the area.

07:05We developed the place.

07:07And, of course, we share a certain percentage

07:12in terms of income.

07:17No signal and no internet here.

07:19So, leave what is behind

07:22and just enjoy nature.

07:24You can also have a me time

07:26with your loved ones.

07:32If you're looking for a quiet, quiet campsite,

07:36you will definitely like this place.

07:40We are proud to be a Tagalwan tribe.

07:43As you can see,

07:44the place is very relaxing.

07:49We enjoyed it.

07:50Hopefully, we can come back here next year.

07:52It's so delicious.

07:53It's like you're in Baguio,

07:56but Baguio from the South.

07:58Yes!

08:00Kawander, have you ever wondered

08:03where you can find a place to make chocolate

08:05like in Siguate?

08:07In Pine Ridge,

08:08not only is their campsite spacious,

08:11but they also have a 7-hectare cacao farm.

08:14One of the cacao farmers

08:16is a member of Bukidnon Tagalwanon Tribe,

08:20our kawander, Alex.

08:24Before you touch the sweet tablaya,

08:27you have to go through a bitter process.

08:30It takes 5 years for the cacao to grow.

08:34This is how our kawander, Alex, lived.

08:38He had bitter experiences,

08:40but he worked hard to find sweetness in his life.

08:43In 2006, I turned 12 years old.

08:48Thanks to my flockman,

08:51Ragsila Kabulan,

08:54I was able to promote my flockman.

08:57After 2 years,

08:59I was able to promote my flockman,

09:02Oberol.

09:07Back then, he was far from his family.

09:16Now, thanks to his hard work,

09:18he is with them every day.

09:20In every breath,

09:22Bukidnon's hard work and love for cacao farmers

09:24shines through.

09:29So the next time you take a sip

09:31of your hot sikwate from Bukidnon,

09:33know that you are special,

09:34kawander.

09:41When it comes to comfort food,

09:44Bukidnon's specialty is binaki.

09:50Mmm, it's cold, I don't like it.

09:55It tastes like cake-flavored corn.

09:57It's not so sweet.

09:59The sweetness is enough.

10:00And then, it's creamy.

10:04Binaki is made from crushed corn,

10:06milk, and butter.

10:08The mixture is put back into the corn husk,

10:17and then it's steamed

10:19in a steamer

10:25for 15 minutes.

10:28For the Bukidnon people,

10:30binaki comes from the word

10:32baki,

10:34which means

10:36palaka.

10:38Palak-palaka is the opposition

10:40when cooking binaki back then.

10:46The main difference

10:48between the two dishes

10:50is that

10:52the Bukidnon dish

10:54is made from

10:56crushed corn.

10:58Others even believe

11:00that binaki is made from

11:02crushed corn to make it look like

11:04binti ng palaka.

11:08Mmm, you're right.

11:12It's not surprising that

11:14corn is the main ingredient

11:16of patok na binaki.

11:18The province of Bukidnon

11:20is a top producer of corn

11:22in the entire northern Mindanao.

11:26Let's go!

11:28The amount of corn produced

11:30is more than

11:32300,000 metric tons

11:34per year,

11:36which is equivalent to

11:38more than half

11:40of the total production

11:42of corn

11:44in the entire region.

11:46One of the people

11:48who still cooks binaki

11:50until now is

11:52our wonder, Lisa.

11:54Our bakery

11:56was started by our parents

11:58in 1974.

12:00They started in Binangkal

12:02and then in

12:04Binabalot na Tinapay.

12:06We used to have two bakeries

12:08here in our barangay.

12:10They were the ones who supplied

12:12bread to Bukid.

12:14In 2010,

12:16they started selling binaki.

12:20More than a decade later,

12:22they are still

12:24selling binaki.

12:32Aside from the cheese

12:34that they add to the binaki,

12:36they also add

12:38fresh corn

12:40to their crops.

12:42Their binaki

12:44is not only sold

12:46in nearby provinces,

12:48but also abroad.

12:50We are proud

12:52because many people

12:54come to us

12:56to buy

12:58100 pieces of binaki

13:00from abroad.

13:02It needs 24 hours to be frozen.

13:08But wonderers,

13:10not only binaki,

13:12Bukid also has it.

13:16They also have

13:18a sizzling plate.

13:20We are used to having

13:22a sizzling plate

13:24for food.

13:30But this restaurant

13:32is different

13:34from Manolo Portich.

13:36Because of their

13:38sizzling dessert,

13:42this is

13:44sizzling binaki.

13:46He likes twists

13:48when it comes to dishes.

13:50Sizzling binaki is more like

13:52brownie a la mode.

13:54We made a square cake

13:56with caramel

13:58to sizzle on the sizzling plate.

14:00Purple corn has

14:02the same texture as yellow corn,

14:04but it's sweeter.

14:06Let's proceed ourselves.

14:08Let's go!

14:10Let's taste it!

14:12This is where the

14:14pictures are taken.

14:16Hello!

14:36It's boiling.

14:38Mmm!

14:42It's like a pudding

14:44with ice cream

14:46or something.

14:48It has almonds, right?

14:50It's delicious.

14:52It's delicious!

14:56What's my name again?

14:58Wow!

15:00It's delicious!

15:04If you're going to a place,

15:06it's not complete

15:08if there's no music

15:10and nature.

15:14For Datu Wawai

15:16of Talaandig Tribe in Bukidnon,

15:18this is the treasure

15:20that gives color to their life.

15:24One of the

15:26traditional instruments

15:28that he can play

15:30is two strings.

15:32This is

15:34katyapi,

15:36made of wood and boat shape.

15:40But it's not only

15:42the ability to play katyapi

15:44that Datu Wawai wants to share

15:46with the community.

15:48He also has another talent,

15:50painting.

15:52He doesn't use paint,

15:54but soil.

15:56He started in the 90s

15:58with simple painting using soil and paintbrush

16:00until

16:02he was able to make

16:04a modern version.

16:06When the soil hardens,

16:08it becomes clay

16:10and he uses it

16:12in different designs.

16:14Our dream

16:16is to open

16:18the minds of the youth

16:20not only in Bukidnon,

16:22but all over the world.

16:24What is the importance of soil

16:26in a person's life,

16:28because if there is no topsoil,

16:30there will be no rice to grow,

16:32there will be nothing.

16:34Soil painting is a gateway

16:36for the youth to understand.

16:40He also sticks

16:42glue to his work

16:44and the result is a 3D work.

16:50The rare works and workshops

16:52that Datu Wawai and his group

16:54are doing are expected to become

16:56historical sites in Bukidnon

16:58and set the Guinness World Record

17:00as the Soil Painting Capital

17:02of the World.

17:10Here at the Museum of Bukidnon

17:12State University,

17:14you can see the works of the group

17:16and the students they taught.

17:18Let's go!

17:20Let's travel and admire

17:22their unique music.

17:26I was greeted by students

17:28from 7 tribes of Bukidnon.

17:30I couldn't help but

17:32get excited and follow

17:34their unique instruments.

17:36The dance is like

17:38the movements of different animals.

17:40There are monkeys,

17:42birds,

17:44and lizards.

17:46This is where I met

17:48Isoy.

17:50She was one of the first

17:52to be taught by Datu Wawai

17:54how to paint using soil.

17:56She is also a visual artist

17:58and art teacher of the university.

18:00What a wonder!

18:02Did you know that

18:04in Bukidnon,

18:06the color of the soil

18:08is different in each place?

18:10According to experts,

18:12the color depends on

18:14the water,

18:16minerals,

18:18and other organic matter.

18:20In Lantapan, where Datu Wawai

18:22and the Talaandig tribe live,

18:24the soil is coffee and chocolate.

18:26Meanwhile,

18:28in Malaybalay,

18:30the center or capital of the province,

18:32the soil is yellow.

18:34In Talakag and higher places,

18:36like Manolo Fortich,

18:38the soil is silver.

18:40And to make

18:42our visit special,

18:44I will try to paint

18:46using soil.

18:48Isoy and I will do the challenge

18:50of interpreting the word

18:52I wonder. Let's go!

18:56Isoy

18:58tried to use different colors

19:00of soil.

19:02This message is I wonder

19:04because we should have

19:06a lot of knowledge.

19:08But before we can

19:10learn new knowledge,

19:12we need to empty our cup.

19:14You're right, Isoy.

19:16I chose to focus

19:18on the basic colors of the soil,

19:20black and brown.

19:22Not bad for a first-timer.

19:24I was able to put

19:26question marks on the I wonder logo.

19:28See? With matching

19:30outline and shading.

19:32Juan's questions,

19:34we will give the answers

19:36here in I wonder.

19:40Soil painting is

19:42amazing.

19:44Even if you like to paint,

19:46if you don't have money,

19:48it's expensive.

19:50Especially the paint itself.

19:52But here, it's just soil.

19:54And different colors.

19:58In Bukidnon,

20:00no matter where you look,

20:02the view is paradise.

20:04Perfect for nature adventure.

20:10Before we go

20:12to exciting outdoor activities,

20:14let's have breakfast

20:16at a local dish.

20:18This is their specialty,

20:20the champorado.

20:22Why is it a specialty?

20:24We use cacao.

20:26Cacao?

20:28Yes.

20:32Let's try it.

20:36It's not too sweet.

20:38The cacao is tasty.

20:42If you're looking for extreme adventure,

20:44come to Dahilayan Adventure Park

20:46in Manolo, Bukidnon.

20:48Here, you can try

20:50what is considered

20:52the longest dual zipline in Asia.

20:56It stretches 840 meters

20:58or the length of

21:0021 airplanes.

21:02And the height

21:04is more than 4,700 feet

21:06above sea level.

21:08It's a must-see

21:10in the nature view

21:12because sometimes,

21:14the cold weather

21:16can reach 5 degrees Celsius.

21:18Because we're from Germany,

21:20and we like hiking in the mountains.

21:22Also, the zipline here is really cool.

21:24It's the longest we've ever ridden.

21:26This nature adventure

21:28is not just for Gen Z.

21:30Young at Heart

21:32also tried it.

21:34We met Joy, Celine, and Rodelio

21:36from Davao City.

21:38They rapped

21:40the 320-meter-long

21:42version of the zipline.

21:46They also didn't miss

21:48the 840-meter-long

21:50superhero version.

21:52I enjoyed it.

21:54It was fun to fly like a bird.

21:56They told me to close my eyes.

21:58I looked down.

22:00I had my eyes open.

22:02I've been wanting to ride a zipline for a long time.

22:04I'm nervous because it's my first time.

22:06It's fun to ride a zipline.

22:10But not everyone

22:12is looking for an extreme adventure.

22:14There are also people like me

22:16who just want to chill while enjoying.

22:18Here at the Hilayan Forest Park,

22:20one of the relaxing rides

22:22is what they call the Rainbow Slide.

22:24But wait,

22:26I don't think I can paint

22:28my face because I'm nervous.

22:30What if I'm just slow?

22:34Yes, ma'am.

22:38What if my hand slips?

22:40No, ma'am.

22:42Ma'am, please don't let go.

22:44Hold it tight.

22:46Ready?

23:00It's fun.

23:02It's a good thing I tried it.

23:04Otherwise, I might regret it

23:06because I didn't try it.

23:08You must try these activities here.

23:12From my experience

23:14since we came here,

23:16everyone here is very welcoming.

23:18It feels good.

23:20Their culture is beautiful.

23:22The climate is beautiful.

23:24The views are perfect.

23:27Dear Bukidnon,

23:29I'm so happy

23:31to be back here in your place.

23:33I'm surprised that you have so many

23:35hidden beauties,

23:37beauties that I didn't see

23:39when I first came here.

23:41And now, when I saw this,

23:43I said that every Filipino should

23:45see this.

23:48See you every Sunday night

23:50at 7.50 p.m.

23:52on GTV

23:54and for Juan's questions,

23:56we'll give the answers here

23:58on iWONDER!
