00:00Thank you for the ice cream. So good.
00:03What a delicious strawberry.
00:05Ice cream yummy.
00:07Ice cream good.
00:09Ice cream yummy.
00:11Ice cream good.
00:13Everything is an ice cream dance trend.
00:15Ice cream good.
00:16Ice cream yummy.
00:18Ice cream good.
00:20Ice cream yummy.
00:22But this girl seems to have a different type of ice cream.
00:25What is this white and creamy dessert in the video?
00:31It's just the inside.
00:32It's like we're just sipping it.
00:36What is being chewed and swallowed in the video is not ice cream or ice candy,
00:42but a worm.
00:44Those worms are called worms or coconut beetle larvae.
00:48What will you do if you see a drowning kid?
00:57The video will have more than 24 million views.
01:04But the truth is,
01:10the kid is not in the video.
01:15It's not.
01:16It's a worm.
01:25In the comments of the video, there's a debate going on.
01:27Some people said that this worm is being used to get people's attention that it can be eaten.
01:33But according to others, this claim has no proof.
01:37What is the truth?
01:38Let's find out later.
01:40You know a lot, Kim.
01:45In Barito River, Indonesia, this video was filmed.
01:50You can see that the worm is spinning.
01:52It's possible that he's doing a death roll.
01:58Here in the Philippines, a huge worm will return.
02:04For the No. 1 Adventure Chevy in the Philippines,
02:08here's the worm.
02:11Why is there a worm here?
02:13Even if it's January 20, we can still see it again.
02:17In Lulong, the capital of the country.
02:19You know a lot, Kim.
02:21Do you know that in real life, worms are not like worms that can be friends.
02:25The worms are the ones that can be friends.
02:28They can be friends with each other.
02:30They can be friends with each other.
02:32They can be friends with each other.
02:34In real life, worms are not like worms that can be friends.
02:37Worms are naturally territorial and very aggressive.
02:41If they're on the ground, there's a chance that a worm will run away
02:45because they're slow on the ground.
02:47But if they're in the water and the worm is swimming,
02:49the truth is that humans don't fight.
02:52You know a lot, Kim.
02:55Let's go back to the viral video.
02:58Is this a new way of raising or attracting attention
03:01of a person they're planning to eat?
03:08What kind of tree do they call pepe?
03:12That can be planted in the mountains of Labada.
03:16KABANGHA-BANGHA AT KAHA-NGA-HANGA
03:22KABANGHA-BANGHA AT KAHA-NGA-HANGA
03:24It was targeted by the Sinayard Community in the interest of the online universe.
03:27But why did these videos go viral?
03:30Join me to find out the stories behind these viral videos
03:33and trending topics here at
03:36You know a lot, Kim.
03:38And you should too.
03:40For those who are preparing for Christmas,
03:42it's not a coincidence that Ate's KABANGHA-BANGHA
03:44in her viral videos
03:46got 13.8 million views.
03:49This is called UOK or Coconut Beetle Larvae.
03:52It tastes like Enoki Mushroom with Cheese.
03:55Yummy, right?
03:57Do you want to try it?
04:01Marian's viral video was taken in Mindoro
04:03when her family was on vacation last Christmas.
04:06It's so delicious and yummy.
04:14A video of a coconut tree
04:16with leaves and branches
04:18is getting 1.2 million views.
04:20It's said that it's used as fertilizer.
04:24Another type of tree is called Pepe.
04:27It can be planted in the mountains of Labada.
04:31When I first saw the tree,
04:33my reaction was,
04:34oh my gosh, yes!
04:38The poor coconut tree
04:40is always compared to humans.
04:42To humans, it's even sick.
04:44That's why now,
04:45a coconut tree is in good health.
04:47In this video that got 23 million views,
04:50a coconut tree is accepting people
04:52to catch food.
04:54Is it true?
04:56What will you do
04:57if you see a drowning baby?
05:05Let's go back to the viral video.
05:06According to the video uploader,
05:08Lukman Arisma,
05:09he was panicked
05:10when he saw someone
05:11drowning in the Barito River.
05:14But he took a good look.
05:17It's obvious that it's a baby.
05:21They often see babies
05:23in this river.
05:24But this is the first baby he saw
05:26that seemed to be asking for help.
05:30Before this baby style
05:32to pick up a person
05:34they plan to eat.
05:40It's better to call an expert.
05:42I'm not convinced
05:44that he imitated
05:46a drowning baby
05:48to attack
05:50other people
05:52in the river.
05:53Because it's not a natural behavior
05:55of a baby.
05:56Usually, we know that
05:58a baby floats.
05:59If it's just like that,
06:01it's because his body
06:02is limited in flexibility.
06:03And it's not like a human
06:05who can raise his hand.
06:08So, maybe someone
06:10removed a line
06:12or a rope.
06:14Or maybe
06:16he was caught in the net
06:18that he needs to do a death roll.
06:20A death roll
06:22to get away.
06:23So, if he lets him do that,
06:25he pushes his hand like that
06:27because he wants to get away.
06:30Another possibility
06:33is that at that time
06:35he has a prey
06:37that is big.
06:38We know that
06:39if a baby
06:41can't swim,
06:43he needs to do a death roll.
06:45So, he will force himself
06:47to swim.
06:55Babies are ambush predators
06:57or sit-and-wait predators.
07:00Because of their appearance
07:01that looks like a tree
07:02that was caught in the water,
07:03they are not immediately noticed
07:05by their prey.
07:07They are nonchalant.
07:12So, they don't need
07:13to pretend to be O.A.
07:15just to get food.
07:18You know a lot, Kim!
07:21What they call
07:23is a snake
07:25that can be caught
07:26in the mountains of Labada.
07:31It's delicious,
07:32tasty,
07:33and really yummy.
07:45In this place in Capiz,
07:51there is a tree that grows.
07:54What's special about this tree
07:59is that it blooms.
08:01As you can see,
08:02it really blooms
08:03so that it really smells good.
08:06It can be used for washing.
08:08I used white clothes
08:09and not colored ones.
08:10It doesn't stain
08:11and it also blooms quickly.
08:15The clothes smell clean.
08:18And they also use shampoo.
08:20My mother tried it
08:21and she said
08:22it really works.
08:26What kind of tree is that?
08:28Is it really safe to use?
08:36It's like a detergent.
08:39This video
08:40has 1.2 million views.
08:43That's why netizens
08:44are really excited.
08:46There are a lot of tree helps, ma'am.
08:48I'm curious
08:49about the smell
08:50of dried clothes.
08:51Me too, actually.
08:52That's my shampoo before.
08:53It's used to lengthen my hair.
09:00A lot of people are asking
09:01what kind of tree is this.
09:02The vlogger
09:03who made the video
09:04about the red tree
09:05that we know
09:06in Tumalag Capiz.
09:07She is Annalyn Funtilar,
09:0832 years old.
09:10She thought of vlogging this
09:12because she was curious
09:13about her mother's story
09:14about this tree.
09:15She got this.
09:16This is what it looks like.
09:17It looks like a tree branch
09:19but it's not that big.
09:20In the video,
09:21the tree branch was taken,
09:22washed,
09:23and peeled.
09:25The skin was tied
09:26and cut several times
09:27and soaked in water.
09:29A few minutes later,
09:30the water that the skin
09:31was soaked in
09:32started to bubble.
09:33My reaction
09:34when I first saw
09:35the tree bubbling
09:36was,
09:37Oh my, yes,
09:38it's bubbling.
09:39That's how it is.
09:40Oh, we still have
09:41a tree like that.
09:42To find out
09:43if this shampoo is effective,
09:44she also took
09:45a few baths.
09:47And did she finish her clothes?
09:48It smelled
09:49and the clothes were clean.
09:54The tree that was seen
09:55this morning
09:56is called,
09:57in their place,
09:58Pepe.
09:59And it has a resemblance
10:00to Nara.
10:02The shape of that tree
10:03is like magaspang.
10:05And the leaves
10:06are like Nara.
10:08The leaves are small.
10:10Before shampoo
10:11became popular,
10:12plants have been used
10:13as a natural soap
10:14and cleaning agent for a long time.
10:15Some plants
10:16have saponin,
10:17a natural compound
10:18that bubbles
10:19when mixed with water.
10:21Its advantage is
10:22it's eco-friendly,
10:23gentle,
10:24and renewable.
10:29But the tree
10:30that Kapista Pepe
10:31is called,
10:32is it real?
10:35We challenged Annalyn
10:36to do it again
10:37using Pepe's tree.
10:39When it arrived
10:40at their house,
10:41it was immediately washed
10:42and cleaned.
10:43She left the peel
10:44and stick
10:45and mixed it
10:46in a bowl of water.
10:49You just need
10:50to mix it.
10:51This is where
10:52our camera man
10:53got it.
10:55It immediately bubbles
10:56with water.
10:59It really bubbles
11:00so that it becomes
11:01a soap.
11:08So,
11:09we washed it
11:10and mixed it
11:11with water.
11:13Annalyn's mother
11:14washed the clothes.
11:19We also invited
11:20our neighbors
11:21to check
11:22the inside of the clothes.
11:25To be honest,
11:26it's really clean.
11:32After the deliberation,
11:33the neighbors
11:34released
11:35their judgment.
11:43I have a contest.
11:44It's a battle.
11:45Do you know
11:46the names of the trees?
11:48I don't know.
11:49Do you know
11:50the names of the trees?
11:52Just a few.
11:53In 30 seconds,
11:54tell me the names
11:55of the trees.
11:56Okay?
11:57You.
11:58Nara.
11:59Tatol.
12:02Atis.
12:03Nyug.
12:04Oku.
12:05Nara.
12:06Kaymito.
12:07Kaymito.
12:09There's nothing left
12:10to think about, sir.
12:11There's nothing left.
12:14You mentioned Nara earlier,
12:15right?
12:16Nara is our national tree.
12:17It was made
12:18as a national tree
12:19from the 1930s
12:20to 1934.
12:21But did you know
12:22that Nara
12:23is not only found
12:24in the Philippines?
12:25It's not an endemic
12:26to us.
12:27Nara can be found
12:28in many countries
12:29in Southeast Asia.
12:30You know a lot,
12:31brother.
12:32I hope so.
12:33You too.
12:34I hope so.
12:35To prove
12:36that Nara is an endemic
12:37to the Philippines,
12:38we went to the city
12:39of Kawalina
12:40to collect
12:41the fallen trees.
12:42From the city,
12:43Kawalina City Environment
12:44and Natural Resources
12:45rented the area
12:46to Adeline.
12:47Locally,
12:48it's known
12:49in the province
12:50of Capiz
12:51as Pe-Pe.
12:52But it's more
12:53known as
12:54Soap Tree
12:55or Saling Kuge.
12:56It's native
12:57in Southeast Asia
12:58including
12:59the Philippines,
13:00Vietnam
13:01and Indonesia.
13:02If we're going to
13:03use it as a medium,
13:04it's better
13:05to consult
13:06with our experts
13:07first,
13:08our doctors.
13:10But remember,
13:11fellow citizens,
13:12you should not
13:13just cut down
13:14a tree.
13:15We have laws
13:16that protect
13:17our native trees.
13:18We need a permit
13:19from the government
13:20to do so.
13:25Wow!
13:26It's so good!
13:27It's so good!
13:28It's so good,
13:29it's so tasty
13:30and it's really
13:31yummy.
13:36Ice Cream Dance
13:41Thank you for the ice cream.
13:43So good.
13:44What delicious strawberry.
13:46Ice cream yummy.
13:48Ice cream good.
13:50Ice cream yummy.
13:52Ice cream good.
13:54All the Kiki Ice Cream
13:55dance is trending.
13:57Ice cream yummy.
13:59Ice cream good.
14:01Ice cream yummy.
14:03But this girl
14:04seems to be on a different
14:05ice cream trip.
14:09What is this white
14:10and creamy dessert
14:11in the video?
14:12It's just the inside.
14:13It's like we're
14:14just sipping it.
14:18What Maya is eating
14:19and sipping
14:20in the video
14:21is not ice cream
14:22or ice candy
14:23but a worm.
14:25Those worms
14:26are called
14:27coconut beetle larvae.
14:35Here in Caloocan,
14:36we found a girl
14:37eating a worm.
14:39I'm Marian Ignacio.
14:41I'm the one who uploaded
14:42the video
14:43of me eating a worm.
14:47Cheers!
14:48Marian's viral video
14:49was taken in Mindoro
14:50when her family
14:51were on vacation
14:52last Christmas.
14:54So we just added
14:55a little water
14:56and a little salt.
14:57That's all.
14:58Nothing else.
14:59And it reached
15:00almost 13.8 million views.
15:03That's it!
15:04Eating a worm
15:05is not new to her.
15:07When I was young,
15:08I used to see
15:09my siblings
15:10or my parents
15:11eating worms.
15:15And when my siblings
15:16would ask me to do it,
15:17I would say no.
15:24Worms can grow
15:25on a dead coconut tree
15:26in just three months.
15:29It evolves
15:30from an egg
15:31to a larva,
15:32a pupa,
15:33and an adult beetle.
15:35Wow!
15:36You know a lot!
15:38Thank you for the ice cream!
15:40So good!
15:41What a delicious strawberry!
15:43Ice cream yummy!
15:45Ice cream good!
15:47Ice cream yummy!
15:48Is it a worm?
15:49Is it yummy?
15:51Or yucky?
15:52Ice cream yummy!
15:54Ice cream good!
15:56Ice cream yummy!
15:58Ice cream good!
15:59Wait!
16:00Let me show you
16:01how to eat this.
16:02Look at this.
16:03Do you know what it is?
16:05It's a worm.
16:07A worm?
16:08Yes.
16:09Underneath?
16:10Underneath.
16:11A worm?
16:12Yes.
16:13Have you ever eaten a worm?
16:14Not yet,
16:15but there are a lot.
16:16Is it yummy?
16:17Yes, it's yummy.
16:18Wow!
16:19It's so big!
16:21But worms
16:22are not new
16:23to Marian's area.
16:26Instead of seeing worms
16:27on other trees,
16:28we asked her
16:29where these trees
16:30came from.
16:31The worms
16:32we caught
16:33were big.
16:34And we caught them
16:35from a tree.
16:36It was a hard tree
16:37that was already dead.
16:38Then they were
16:39surrounded by worms.
16:41They were caught
16:42from the inside
16:43of a palm tree.
16:45Even though it's big,
16:46it has a different taste.
16:48It's so good.
16:49It's tasty.
16:50And it's really
16:51yummy.
16:53That's why Marian
16:54was convinced
16:55to try this.
16:56One day,
16:57I tasted it
16:58and I suddenly
16:59liked it.
17:01Every time we go home
17:02to Mendoro,
17:03I always look for it.
17:06Marian's community
17:07is making a living
17:08by collecting worms
17:09from the mountains.
17:11And they sell it
17:12for around P700 per kilo.
17:15When we buy it,
17:16it's still alive.
17:17And what we do
17:18when we cook it
17:19is we steam it.
17:22We remove
17:23the seeds.
17:24We just pull it
17:25and there you go.
17:28After we remove it,
17:30we can eat it.
17:32But are you curious
17:34about its taste?
17:36Some people say
17:37it tastes like
17:38enoki mushroom.
17:39Others say
17:40it tastes like
17:41cheese.
17:42If you're wondering,
17:43are you willing
17:44to eat this?
17:45It tastes
17:46like earthy
17:48and creamy.
17:50Is it safe
17:51to eat worms?
17:52I still haven't suggested
17:53that it's raw.
17:55It's cooked
17:56properly,
17:57but it's safe
17:58to eat
17:59since it only eats
18:00tree bark.
18:01This has proteins.
18:02This has omega fatty acids.
18:05This is healthy
18:06for us.
18:07It's an alternative
18:08for beef,
18:09chicken,
18:10and meats.
18:12That's why
18:13our hearts are the same.
18:17Do you also want
18:18to know the taste?
18:19Why don't you try it?
18:21You know a lot,
18:22Kuya Kim!
18:23Do you also have stories
