00:00Our fellow Filipinos in Bafitak, Laguna are feeling lucky today because the Three Kings Festival is being celebrated there.
00:07That's right. We just met them earlier.
00:09Sister!
00:10Yes, I'm from there.
00:12You arrived so fast. Is there no traffic today?
00:14No, there's no traffic.
00:15Oh my gosh, they've been waiting for years.
00:18It's called Pasabog.
00:20It's the stealing of money.
00:22And to make their celebration happier, the UH Kings visited there.
00:27There are so many gifts to bring.
00:29There are three kings and three ladies.
00:31There were horses earlier.
00:32They're so handsome.
00:33One of them might be pregnant.
00:34That's right. I wonder if they're already following their horses.
00:36Just like the surprise of the King of Deliciousness, Chef JR.
00:40That's so beautiful.
00:42He prepared a special calamay.
00:45What's inside? Can we taste it?
00:47Calamay!
00:49They made calamay there.
00:57Good morning and Happy Three Kings Festival, Kapuso!
01:02Happy Three Kings Festival!
01:04We're still here in Papitak, Laguna to celebrate their celebration of the Three Kings Festival.
01:11This is done yearly, Kapuso.
01:14Every January 6.
01:16And this is the official reminder that the Christmas season is over.
01:22That's why our three kings are Melchor, Kaspar, and Baltazar.
01:26But there are also three kings.
01:30Good morning!
01:31We have here,
01:32Anjay, our king who will bring happiness.
01:36Good morning!
01:38Chef JR will bring deliciousness.
01:42And of course, Kim will bring surprise.
01:47Kim will bring surprise.
01:50Our UH King, Chef JR!
01:54Thank you so much, Jenzel.
01:56You're right, Kapuso.
01:58And of course, as the King of Deliciousness,
02:00or the King of Food,
02:02we have to go to one of the signatures of Papitak.
02:06Their celebration will not be complete without this.
02:10This is their Calamay Galapong.
02:12So later, we'll see the process.
02:14Okay, Chef. Do you need help?
02:16There you go.
02:19There you go.
02:20Our horse is calm.
02:22And that's what our guests told us.
02:25That every year, part of their program is their Calamay Cooking Competition.
02:32Here.
02:33You're from Barangay, sir?
02:35Barangay Locong, sir.
02:37And they are the back-to-back champions of their Calamay Cooking Contest.
02:42Am I right, ma'am?
02:43Ma'am!
02:44Ma'am, why is our Calamay Galapong special?
02:48Of course, it's part of the cooking of love.
02:50And of course, there are recipes that we put in there,
02:55and we have secret ingredients that we put in there
02:57so that's what we win every year.
03:00But ma'am, when we say Calamay Galapong,
03:03what are the basic ingredients that we use?
03:07Of course, the galapong, coconut milk, peanuts,
03:10cheese, condensed milk, and dairy cream.
03:18And ma'am, they have a secret ingredient here,
03:21which is all-purpose cream, right?
03:23Apparently, that's what makes them win this year.
03:27Last year, you also won, right?
03:30Ma'am, why do you think Calamay Galapong is part of the celebration of love?
03:36It has become a tradition since our ancestors.
03:40During tradings, people will cook Calamay Galapong.
03:46Okay. And ma'am, how long does this process take?
03:49We can see that it takes two people to cook Calamay Galapong.
03:53Yes, so that the galapong will be finer.
03:58And how long does it take to cook, ma'am?
04:00About 45 to 1 hour.
04:03And ma'am, is Calamay Galapong an ordinary meal
04:07or is it just a part of your celebration?
04:10It's not ordinary.
04:11It's our specialty during tradings.
04:15So, no one will taste this on other occasions?
04:19No.
04:20Wow, my dears.
04:21As you can see, they even served us here and the process is continuous.
04:27In fact, I think they've been doing this for more than 45 minutes
04:31and it looks like they got the texture they wanted.
04:34So, ma'am, how long have you been cooking Calamay Galapong?
04:40It started with our parents and our ancestors.
04:45But maybe when I started cooking since high school,
04:48we were able to cook Calamay.
04:51And to think, my dears, that this is inherited
04:54from our ancestors, not just from our grandparents.
04:58Calamay Galapong is really unique.
05:02And of course, we are here with our other dears
05:06who are really celebrating.
05:07Of course, we will not miss the chance to taste this
05:10and we will be garnishing it with UH 2025.
05:15I put it the other way around.
05:18And we will not miss the chance to taste this.
05:20But Jensel, Kim, they said they have a surprise for us.
05:25Chef, of course.
05:26Yes.
05:27But Chef, yes.
05:29Aside from Calamay, my dears,
05:30it has also become a tradition here
05:32that whenever there is a feast or celebration
05:34of the three kings, the money will be thrown.
05:38Yes.
05:39The throwing of the money symbolizes
05:42a continuous blessing.
05:43And of course, it also symbolizes
05:45a good start of the year.
05:47That's right.
05:48So what are we waiting for?
05:49Let's throw the money!
05:50Let's throw the money!
05:51Let's throw the money!
05:52Let's throw the money!

05:58Let's throw the money!
05:59Let's throw the money!
06:00Let's throw the money!
06:01That's amazing!
06:02That's really amazing!
06:03I want to do it, but my dears,
06:06the throwing of the money is continuous.
06:09We'll be back later.

06:42and the UH Three Kings.
