00:00In this place in Capiz, there is a tree that is growing.
00:11What's interesting about it is that it's blooming.
00:18And as you can see, it's really blooming and it really looks like soap.
00:23It can be used for washing.
00:24I used white clothes and it didn't stain.
00:32The clothes smelled clean.
00:35And she also uses shampoo.
00:37My mother tried it and she really said that it can be used.
00:42What kind of tree is that? Is it really safe to use?
00:45Look at that.
00:52It really looks like detergent.
00:56This video has 1.2 million views.
00:59That's why netizens are really excited.
01:02There are a lot of tree helps, ma'am.
01:05I'm curious about the smell of the clothes when it's dry.
01:08Me too, actually.
01:10That's my shampoo before.
01:12To lengthen my hair.
01:16A lot of people are asking me what kind of tree is this.
01:20The vlogger who made the video of the blooming tree that we met in Tumalag, Capiz.
01:24This is Annalyn Funtilar, 32 years old.
01:27She thought of vlogging this because she was curious about the story of her mother about this.
01:32This is what it looks like.
01:34It looks like it's growing, but it's not big.
01:38In the video, the tree was harvested, washed, and peeled.
01:42The peel was squeezed and cut several times and soaked in water.
01:46After a few minutes, the water that was added to the peel started to boil.
01:50My reaction was when I first saw the blooming tree.
01:54Oh, yes, it's blooming.
01:56That's how it is.
01:58Oh, we still have that kind of tree.
02:00To find out if this shampoo is effective, she also took a few baths.
02:04And did she finish her clothes?
02:06The clothes smelled clean.
02:12The tree that bloomed this morning is called pepe in their place.
02:16And it has a resemblance to nara.
02:19The shape of that tree is like magaspang.
02:23And the leaves are like nara.
02:26The leaves are small.
02:28Shampoo production is still new.
02:30Plants have been used for a long time as a natural soap and cleaning agent.
02:34Some plants have saponin, a natural compound that turns red when mixed with water.
02:39The advantage of this is that it is eco-friendly, gentle, and renewable.
02:44Call me brother Pepe!
02:48But is the tree called pepe in Kapista true?
02:54We challenged Annalie to go out again using the pepe tree.
02:58When she arrived at their house, she immediately washed it and peeled the branch.
03:03She left the peel and squeezed it and mixed it in a bowl of water.
03:09You just need to mix it.
03:12This is where our camera man caught it.
03:14He poured water and bubbles.
03:19It was really bubbling like soap.
03:28And Annalie's mother washed the clothes.
03:35We also invited our neighbor to take a look at the inside of the clothes.
03:40If it's true, this is clean.
03:48After the deliberation, the neighbors issued their judgment.
03:59I have a contest.
04:01Fight, fight.
04:03Do you know a lot of tree names?
04:05I don't know.
04:07Do you know a lot of tree names?
04:09I don't know.
04:11You have 30 seconds to name a tree.
04:13Okay?
04:15Nara.
04:17Tatol.
04:19Atis.
04:21Nyug.
04:23Buko.
04:25Trinito.
04:29I can't think of anything.
04:31Nothing.
04:33You mentioned Nara earlier, right?
04:35Nara is our national tree.
04:36Nara is our national tree from the 1930s to 1934.
04:39But did you know that Nara is not only found in the Philippines?
04:42It's not an endemic to us.
04:44Nara is found in many countries in Southeast Asia.
04:48You know a lot, bro.
04:50I hope so. You too.
04:52To get the fruit of the tree,
04:55from the city, Kawalina City Environment and Natural Resources built the place of Adeline.
05:00Locally, it's known here in the province of Capiz as Pepe.
05:05But it's also known as Soap Tree or Salinkugue.
05:11It's native here in Southeast Asia,
05:14including the Philippines, Vietnam, and Indonesia.
05:19If we're going to use it as a medium,
05:22we should consult with our experts,
05:25our doctors.
05:27But remember, Kapuso,
05:29you shouldn't just cut down a tree.
05:31We have laws that protect our native trees.
05:35We need a permit from the government to do so.
05:41Wow! You're crazy!
