00:00Rojas City can be found in the northernmost part of Panay Island.
00:07This is the capital city of the province of Capiz.
00:10Since we're talking about seafood,
00:12first on our list is one of the largest seashells of the city.
00:17The province of Capiz is known as the Seafood Capital of the Philippines
00:22because of the abundance of seafood that can be obtained from its rich seabed.
00:28And you can find different types of shellfish here.
00:32They say that there's a type of shellfish called kagaykay.
00:36It can be found here.
00:39But what is this guy doing here?
00:42It looks like he's digging in the sand.
00:45Let's get closer.
00:48What are you going to do?
00:50Try this.
00:52It looks like you're digging in the sand to get the kagaykay.
00:56It's for it to come out.
00:59I can't see anything.
01:01Is this what you're going to use?
01:04Do I need to put this in the...
01:06Baywang.
01:07Baywang?
01:09Why is there a rope here?
01:11This is used to pull this.
01:14I'll pull it.
01:16And then?
01:18Just like this.
01:20Here.
01:21It needs to be standing.
01:24Like this.
01:29It needs to be deeper.
01:36It needs to be deeper.
01:42Just like this.
01:45It needs to be standing.
01:47Just like this.
01:49And then?
01:50I'll wait.
01:51If there's one, it'll make a sound.
01:54It'll make a sound?
01:55The kagaykay.
01:56Where will it make a sound?
01:58You'll know when it's loud.
02:02Loud?
02:05It'll make a sound?
02:08It's like I can't hear anything.
02:11Does it need to be slow or fast?
02:13Slow.
02:15It can also be fast.
02:16Maybe I'll miss something.
02:18I didn't get anything.
02:21It's easy to do, but it's not easy.
02:26It's not easy to go through the process of pulling kagaykay.
02:34Is there an easier way?
02:38We do this every day.
02:40You do this every day?
02:42Every day.
02:43How many?
02:44Sometimes there's a lot.
02:46Wow, really?
02:47If the waves are big, they'll come out.
02:49If the waves are big, they'll come out?
02:56Can I still get kagaykay?
03:01That's it.
03:02I heard something.
03:04There.
03:05Wow.
03:07This is so beautiful.
03:10It's so clean.
03:13Wow.
03:15This is different.
03:20I didn't hear that.
03:26That's it.
03:30No, that's wrong.
03:35There's a big one.
03:39Wait.
03:41It's flying.
03:45You got it.
03:48That's it.
03:49It's flying.
03:51Finally, I got something.
03:53It's flying.
03:55I got two.
04:00So, you do this every day?
04:02Yes.
04:03When there's water, we stop.
04:06When we reach the water.
04:09So, fishermen do this every day.
04:12Usually, they do this when the waves are strong.
04:15They can't swim.
04:17They just look for kagaykay in the sand.
04:20It's a bit challenging
04:22because you have to swim through the whole pool
04:27just to get it.
04:31We've been fishing for a long time.
04:35We've been fishing for a long time,
04:38but we only caught a few.
04:41They sell kagaykay for 100 pesos per kilo.
04:48We have a lot of fishermen.
04:59I caught a small one.
05:02This is one of the traditional fishing methods
05:06here in Rojas City, Capiz.
05:08I'm impressed with the fishermen here
05:11because they are really hardworking and patient.
05:15Because they still use the traditional way
05:18of getting food,
05:20the beauty of their environment is preserved
05:22because they don't use illegal methods.
05:26So, in Capiz, you just have to be patient.
05:29Just be patient.
05:32There's more, there's more!
05:36If you're patient, you'll catch a kagaykay.
05:45This is a small one.
05:46There's a small one!
05:48Oh my God!
05:49Can you sell that even if it's small?
05:51I used to buy this, but now...
05:54This is also mine, baby.
05:56This is a different price.
05:59This is a different price.
06:01It's 50 pesos, so it's 30 pesos.
06:03It's beautiful and clean.
06:07It took us a long time to catch a kagaykay.
06:12You might think that it's hard work here in Capiz
06:17because you really have to be patient
06:19to catch a few kagaykay.
06:21But that's what's amazing about the people of Rojas City.
06:25They are really willing to be patient.
06:27And their way of not harming the environment
06:32is also the reason why they receive blessings every day.
06:36Let's cook this.
06:39These are the kagaykay we caught.
06:41It's really hard to get, but they say it's delicious.
06:45I'm here with Sir Bong.
06:47We're going to cook mutia ng baybay.
06:50Mutia ng baybay!
06:52Yes, ma'am.
06:53Actually, that's a kind of soup here in Capiz.
06:56Yes, ma'am.
06:57It's like a seafood chowder.
06:59Is this the kagaykay?
07:00Yes, ma'am.
07:01We boiled it to make it easier to cook.
07:04So this is what it looks like.
07:05Yes, ma'am.
07:06It opens like this.
07:07It opens like this?
07:08Yes, ma'am.
07:09It's like jelly.
07:10Yes, ma'am.
07:11But I think it's more delicious.
07:12Yes, ma'am.
07:13It's sweeter.
07:14Really?
07:15Try one.
07:16Okay, ma'am.
07:17I might finish it.
07:18Okay, chef.
07:19Okay, let's start, ma'am.
07:20You can do it.
07:21You can do it.
07:22You can eat it.
07:26It's delicious.
07:27Let's saute it.
07:28It's not seasoned yet, ma'am.
07:29It's not seasoned yet?
07:30Yes, ma'am.
07:31It will be more delicious later.
07:32It's delicious.
07:33Maybe it doesn't have bubbles.
07:34No, ma'am.
07:35It's clean.
07:36It's really clean, right?
07:44Oh, you put butter right away to make it delicious.
07:46First, we'll put butter.
07:49We'll saute the onions.
07:51We'll just saute it.
07:52We'll caramelize the onions.
07:55Why did you put butter?
07:56Because our chef before, ma'am,
07:58our head chef,
07:59he joined a competition
08:01and then he thought of making a menu
08:04that's really named after this place.
08:07Because the butter…
08:08This is Barangay Baybay, ma'am.
08:10Yes.
08:11The butter is known to be like a bay walk.
08:13Yes.
08:14And this is where we get the butter from.
08:16You get all of it from Baybay, the sea.
08:18The butter, ma'am.
08:19Correct.
08:20We'll also add the squid, shrimp,
08:22and white wine.
08:25Just a little.
08:26Next, we'll add the flour to thicken the soup.
08:30And then we'll add the kagay kay.
08:34Then, let's add salt and pepper, ma'am.
08:37Lastly, we'll add the fresh milk
08:40and all-purpose cream.
08:43About three teaspoons.
08:44Oh, just a little.
08:45Just a little, ma'am.
08:47Just wait for it to boil.
08:51After a few minutes…
08:55And here's our Mutianang Baybay with Kagay Kay!
09:00Let's taste it.
09:05Let's taste it.
09:06I'll taste the soup first.
09:11Mmm.
09:12Super creamy.
09:15Mmm.
09:16Good!
09:17Good!
09:19Even the kagay kay has no aftertaste.
09:22It's good!
