00:00The Adobo is now boiling, so I put it back and mixed it with the baguio and seasoned it with salt and a little bit of sugar to balance the taste.
00:21There it is, it's cooked.
00:22It's perfectly cooked, so what are you waiting for? Of course, let's taste it.
00:30This dish is different from the one in Ricado.
00:34It's long, smooth, and looks like bulate.
00:37What is that? Adobong bulate? It looks scary.
00:43It's color is like bulate, and people have a natural aversion or don't want to eat bulate.
00:48But did you know that even bulate can be eaten? It depends on the preparation.
00:53The video got more than 21 million views.
00:59But what is this?
01:04And what does it taste like?
01:06It's black.
01:16How can a human being
01:22have a color of a burning coal?
01:25I always sleep with this.
01:29And why is this being looked for by a family that was left behind?
01:32Most of them ask if there's a green bone or not.
01:40Are green bones real?
01:42In the Chinese culture, having green bones after cremating a person's body is considered lucky.
01:50The small amount of green bones of a relative or loved one in life through accessories can attract prosperity.
01:57But luckily, there's a belief that these kinds of bones can only be seen in people who were truly good when they were still alive.
02:09Do you think you also have green bones?
02:14Guys, Daddy has green bones.
02:15Daddy has green bones.
02:25Kamangha-bangha and kahanga-hanga.
02:28Comedians were targeted in the interest of the online universe.
02:31But why did these stories go viral?
02:33In our next episode, join me to talk about the stories behind the viral videos
02:38and trending topics here in
02:40Dami Mong Alam, Kuya Kim!
02:42At first glance, you'd think that there's a person wearing a suit in the viral video that got 21 million views.
02:52But it's not true!
02:53It's Dekiman Time!
02:56These bones that can be seen after cremating a person are called green bones.
03:03It's a sign that a person was truly good when they were still alive.
03:08The video has 1.1 million views.
03:11Who got the green bones?
03:14Is the belief true?
03:17Guys, Daddy has green bones.
03:24We met 46-year-old Aikel from Novaliches, Quezon City.
03:29He was able to prove that he has green bones from his late mother.
03:35Just this year, his 80-year-old mother, Imelda, started to lose weight.
03:40At that time, I didn't know that it was a stroke.
03:44That's when I noticed that she was breathing heavily.
03:50We brought her to the hospital.
03:52They told me, Sir, we don't have a vacant bed here.
03:57So, I brought her home.
03:59That's when I saw that she wasn't breathing and she was cold.
04:04When Aikel's mother died, he was able to get a free cremation from their barangay.
04:09I said, right after the cremation, can I see her face?
04:16She told me, ah, the green bone that you're looking for?
04:21Then, I said yes.
04:23Actually, I had no idea what that green bone was.
04:27Aikel was very surprised to see his mother with green bones.
04:30It's just small.
04:32Maybe it's just 1cm in size.
04:34And there's a small one.
04:36And then, he offered me a container if I wanted a green bone.
04:42Ever since Aikel wore a green bone container, he started to get lucky.
04:47I put it on the rails.
04:49About the green bone, a lot of people commented.
04:51I started to monetize on the rails.
04:54I've been doing it for a long time.
04:56Maybe one year already.
04:57There's no doubt that his mother was really lucky when she was still alive.
05:01She doesn't know how to get angry.
05:03One of her habits is to help.
05:06That's why Aikel doesn't deny that his mother has a green bone.
05:13I, Domingo Zamora, am not a good person.
05:20The court finds Domingo Zamora guilty of the murder of his sister.
05:25Guilty of the murder of his sister, Joanna Zamora Pineda.
05:30Have you heard of Domingo Zamora?
05:33He's a notorious convict who was sentenced to prison for murdering his brother.
05:38But Domingo Zamora is just in a movie.
05:41That's the character of our beloved Denis Trillio in the movie, Green Bones.
05:45Where he will be joined by Ruru Madrid.
05:48Are you curious why the title is Green Bones?
05:51Bros, are you familiar with the word, Green Bones?
05:55Green Bones.
05:57Green Bones?
05:59Did you know that the ancient Chinese believed that the body is burned.
06:05If there's a bone that's green, it means that person is a good person.
06:12Sir, if you die, what color of bone will you see?
06:16White.
06:18If it's burned, what color?
06:20Black.
06:22Watch Green Bones.
06:23It's a good movie. You'll understand what I'm saying.
06:28Actually, he's not really bright green.
06:31He's a bit white with a bit of green.
06:33And Green Bones is just too small.
06:35In this crematorium, we met the master operator, Domingo.
06:39I've been operating cremation for 18 years.
06:43Most of them ask if there's a green bone or not.
06:51But if there is, we tell them.
06:57Today, this family is operating cremation for their deceased father.
07:21Can you find a green bone in his bone?
07:30When the body of a person goes under the cremation,
07:33the color of the bone changes depending on the heat inside the crematory or cremation chamber.
07:38When the temperature inside rises to 570 degrees Fahrenheit,
07:42the organic parts of the bone start to burn.
07:45That's why it turns yellow, brown, or black.
07:47When the temperature rises to 1,400 degrees Fahrenheit,
07:51the bone turns completely black.
07:53At a temperature of 1,470 degrees Fahrenheit,
07:57the color of the bone turns white or gray
08:00depending on how long it's exposed to this high temperature.
08:04Just wait, Kim.
08:07Almost two hours later,
08:11the body of Father Elinel is here.
08:18His family is looking for a possible green bone at the same time.
08:24Later on,
08:26Can you find a green bone?
08:31the operator found a piece of his bone known as a green bone.
08:38I was shocked when my brother put it in my hand
08:42because I saw our father's face turned white.
08:45Our father loved us very much.
08:50Father's green bone
08:52was buried in a small container and given to his family.
08:55Even if his family is no longer alive,
09:00when they get a green bone,
09:04they are still physically with him.
09:07When it comes to science,
09:09why does a person's bone turn green after going through a cremation?
09:12Why does a person's bone turn green after going through a cremation?
09:14Why does a person's bone turn green after going through a cremation?
09:16Because in our bones,
09:18there are copper metals
09:21or what we call copper.
09:23Copper.
09:25Most of the copper in the body is in the bones
09:28because it helps the person stay alive.
09:31When we cremate a person,
09:34while the bones are cooking,
09:36the copper is left inside the bones
09:38until we get bone ash or abo.
09:42Copper oxide.
09:44The color of copper oxide is green.
09:47That is the reason why we get green bones.
09:54It really depends on the amount of copper
09:57that the person ate or ingested when he was still alive
10:01for us to actually get green bones or abo.
10:06What are the other reasons why we get green bones?
10:12We always choose to be a good person.
10:18You know a lot, Kim.
10:20And you should too.
10:25Baka Kapuso, it's the Kimantai!
10:34While the adobo was cooking,
10:37I put it back and mixed it with bahagia.
10:39Then I seasoned it with salt and a little bit of sugar
10:43to balance out the flavor.
10:45And there, it's cooked.
10:47It's cooked just right.
10:49So, what are you waiting for?
10:51Of course, we're going to taste it.
10:54This dish is different from the one made by Ricardo.
10:57It's long, smooth, and it looks like bulate.
11:01What's that, sis?
11:03Adobo bulate?
11:05That's scary, sis.
11:06It looks like bulate.
11:08And people have a natural aversion
11:11to eating bulate.
11:13But did you know that even bulate can be eaten?
11:15It depends on the preparation.
11:17In the making of this unique dish,
11:19the video gained more than 21 million views.
11:23But what is this?
11:28And what does it taste like?
11:36The surprising ingredient that you see here
11:39is called puyoy.
11:41In Bisayas, puyoy is used as a food in Panginistan.
11:44It's also a type of eel called lesser thrush eel.
11:48Compared to sea eel or igat,
11:50it's thinner and has more meat.
12:00Here in Matan, Aklan,
12:02we got to know my Tukayo, Kim Zaraga,
12:04who cooked puyoy in her vlog.
12:09Kim started vlogging in 2022
12:11depending on what she was preparing.
12:13And puyoy is one of them.
12:15I got to know about puyoy
12:17because I used to vlog in Sasing.
12:20Then my family in Manila,
12:22since I'm not familiar with exotic food here,
12:27they told me that I should try vlogging puyoy.
12:31When they told me that,
12:32I asked my acquaintances,
12:35my cousins,
12:37I was the first one to cook puyoy
12:39when I vlogged her.
12:41And she also thought that puyoy is just an eel.
12:45It was the first time I saw it.
12:47I was a bit surprised
12:49because it looks like an eel.
12:53Because it's thin,
12:55and the color is reddish.
12:57Many people mistake puyoy
12:59for an eel because of its appearance.
13:00What makes it different from an eel
13:03is that it has eyes, mouth, and tail
13:05like a fish with fins.
13:08There are more than 800 species of eel in the world.
13:11And some of them can live for a decade.
13:14The European eel can live for more than 50 years.
13:19Other eels can bury themselves
13:22in the sand or mud
13:24where its head can only be seen.
13:27One of the behaviors of eels
13:28is that they usually burrow in the mudflats.
13:33If they burrow,
13:35it's like they're looking for a nest
13:37and they go in there.
13:39Eels have different sizes
13:41depending on the species.
13:43They can go down to 13 feet
13:45or as long as a standard surfboard.
13:47You know a lot, brother Kim.
13:49You know a lot, brother Kim.
13:51But aside from eating,
13:53puyoy also eats.
13:55That's why in Kim's vlog,
13:56we're going to find out
13:58what it tastes like.
14:11The lesser thrush eel
14:13is found in salty
14:15and white environments.
14:17Puyoy is a small eel.
14:19It's just small.
14:21Usually, eels
14:23are harvested in the mudflats.
14:27They're harvested.
14:29You'd think they're big.
14:31That's what they look like.
14:33But they're slimy.
14:35They have a lot of slime on their bodies
14:37that would protect them
14:39from the harsh environment
14:41that they live in.
14:43It's red, but you can see
14:45the difference in color.
14:47But aside from eating,
14:49puyoy also eats.
14:50She tried cooking it herself.
14:52What does it taste like?
14:54I'll just mix this
14:56and sauté it well.
14:58Then I'll add vinegar and soy sauce.
15:00I also added pepper.
15:02Then I followed that
15:04by adding water
15:06to cook it well.
15:08My adobo is already boiling,
15:10so I put it back
15:12and mixed it well.
15:14Puyoy's taste is delicious.
15:16I thought of vlogging puyoy
15:18because aside from how it looks,
15:20it's hard to find
15:22and of course,
15:24I can promote our place
15:26because this is where it's harvested.
15:28To taste and judge,
15:30Kim will cook again.
15:32Before cooking,
15:34Kim washed the puyoy.
15:36She soaked it in seawater
15:38and added salt
15:40and vinegar.
15:42Then she washed it with water.
15:44I washed it with salt
15:46to remove the slime
15:47and to prevent it from moving.
15:49I can't cook it
15:51if it's still moving
15:53like before.
15:55Onion and garlic.
15:57We'll just sauté it well
15:59until it's golden brown.
16:01Then we'll add laurel
16:03and pepper.
16:05We'll just sauté it partially
16:07and then we'll add the puyoy.
16:13And now,
16:15this is what I do
16:17with the puyoy
16:19so that I can grill it.
16:21I didn't season the puyoy
16:23because I'm going to add
16:25pampahit here.
16:29What do you call this, mommy?
16:31Spaghetti.
16:33Spell spaghetti.
16:35A-S-P-A-G-
16:38U-I-C-A
16:40Spaghetti.
16:42Mommy,
16:44this is for you.
16:45Did you know that
16:47there's a type of eel
16:49called spaghetti eel?
16:51It's found in shallow tropical waters
16:53in the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
16:55This skinny eel
16:57can grow up to 5 inches
16:59up to 55 inches.
17:01This is for you.
17:03Happy New Year.
17:05You know a lot, Kim.
17:07You know a lot, Kim.
17:09We grill this
17:11like we're grilling fish.
17:13Let's go back to Tukayong Kim.
17:15The puyoy is ready to eat.
17:17The puyoy is ready to eat.
17:19He's already grilled a few.

17:32It's delicious.
17:34It's delicious.
17:36It's delicious.
17:38This is delicious.
