00:00Welcome back, Kapitbahay!
00:03We're still here with Bianca Umali and her mom, Vicky.
00:10Why are you here, Kapitbahay?
00:12Kapitbahay, we're here today to cook at home.
00:18Very good, Mama!
00:21Mama Vicky, what recipe will you share with our Kapitbahay?
00:26Adobo.
00:28Do we have a special name for Mama's Adobo?
00:31I think we should just call it Adobo a la Victorina.
00:35For a restaurant?
00:36Yes, Mama.
00:37But we should have a name. Adobo a la Victorina.
00:41Adobo is in love.
00:43It became a premium.
00:44Very Filipino.
00:45Why did you choose to share Adobo a la Victorina with our Kapitbahay?
00:51Because when I was little, my grandmother used to feed me that.
00:55Wow!
01:07So cute!
01:08Even Mama is a grandmother's girl.
01:11We're happy that we have a grandmother's girl.
01:15I'm excited to see that you have a grandchild.
01:18Are you a descendant of our family?
01:20Of course!
01:21No!
01:23Mama, what ingredients do we need?
01:26We need chicken, garlic, onion, vinegar, soy sauce, pepper, and boiled quail eggs.
01:40Oyster sauce and water.
01:43How many of you are here? Eleven?
01:45We're eleven.
01:46We're going to eat here.
01:48This is where your grandmother feeds you?
01:50Yes.
01:51She cooks for you?
01:52Yes.
01:53How many kilos of food does she serve?
01:55That's a lot.
01:56How many kilos of food does she have at home?
01:58Maybe another thing that Mama taught us is that she doesn't cook a lot.
02:03Because she doesn't want us to get used to eating too much.
02:07I want them to eat less.
02:09She doesn't want us to eat less.
02:10Zero waste.
02:12Also, because she only cooks a measured amount of food,
02:16not everyone can have a second round.
02:18She wants us to appreciate what we have.
02:20Even though we're eleven,
02:23some of us don't cook at the same time.
02:26So sometimes, what she does is,
02:28she really sets aside a bowl.
02:30For example, your grandmother.
02:32It's portioned.
02:33It's portioned.
02:34There's one chicken, two quails, soup, a lid, and a name.
02:38That's it.
02:40We're all here.
02:41There's nothing to be left out.
02:43There's nothing to be left out.
02:44We're all here.
02:45Everything is included.
02:46Yes.
02:47That's great.
02:48That's great.
02:49Mama, teach us how to make Adobo a la Victorina.
02:53Okay.
02:54This is a sample of how to assist.
02:58I'm listening to your story.
03:00Wait, wait.
03:01Just a little bit.
03:02Okay, a little bit more.
03:04Okay.
03:05I feel like I'm going to be beaten by Mama again.
03:08Mama beat you already.
03:09No, no, no.
03:10Garlic.
03:11I'll be beaten by you.
03:12Garlic.
03:13All of it, Ma?
03:14Yes, all of it.
03:15It's delicious to have a lot of garlic.
03:17That's my favorite too, Mama.
03:21And the onions.
03:22All of it, too.
03:24That's enough.
03:29Mama is so cute.
03:30She's just teaching.
03:31Half, half.
03:33Because we're going to tenderize the chicken.
03:34That's it.
03:35Just so it's cooked enough.
03:37And a little bit of soy sauce.
03:38Okay.
03:39This is the pepper.
03:40That's great.
03:41That's just a visual estimate.
03:42It's not being tasted by Mama.
03:46Should I add more?
03:47No, that's enough.
03:49Add the pepper.
03:50How much?
03:51You teach.
03:55Wow.
03:56There it is.
03:57It's delicious.
03:58It's so delicious.
03:59You heard it.
04:00I heard it.
04:02Cover it first so it boils.
04:03That's it.
04:04That's it, Mama.
04:05That's it.
04:06Mama, that's it.
04:07She's scared, Ma.
04:10Once the adobo is cooked,
04:12and it's ready to eat,
04:14you can have it with
04:16paksiw na bangus.
04:19That's right.
04:20That's your partner in adobo?
04:22Yes.
04:23Paksiw na bangus?
04:24Paksiw na bangus.
04:25I just heard that the two of you are partners.
04:27Yes.
04:28How do you eat it?
04:30One soy sauce and one vinegar.
04:31Because paksiw is vinegar.
04:33There's saltiness and sourness.
04:35Yes.
04:36You just need rice.
04:38If you always have rice,
04:40you won't run out of rice.
04:41I know, Bianca.
04:42You're not like that.
04:43But,
04:44I'm a normal person.
04:46Like that.
04:47You need rice.
04:48You need rice.
04:49Especially when Mama cooks it,
04:51it's delicious.
04:52You need rice.
04:53You need rice.
04:55Aside from adobo,
04:56what's your favorite thing that Mama cooks?
04:58Sinigang.
04:59Because it's delicious.
05:00Yes, it's delicious.
05:01Sinigang.
05:02It's delicious.
05:03Mama will sell it to you.
05:04Sinigang is delicious.
05:05Is it delicious?
05:06Yes.
05:07Actually,
05:08I learned that recipe from Mama.
05:11I've always been making it.
05:14And I ended up making my own recipe.
05:18Mama,
05:19you said that
05:20Bianca is a good cook.
05:22But,
05:23it's already approved
05:24that your grandchild will cook for you.
05:26Approved?
05:27Approved.
05:28Yes.
05:29Can we be together?
05:30Of course.
05:35But,
05:36I know that she has a choice
05:37who will be my husband.
05:38Who?
05:39Who will allow you
05:40to be Bianca's husband?
05:42Eventually.
05:43Eventually?
05:44Yes.
05:45I'll choose her.
05:46Because Mama is famous.
05:49I'll give it to her.
05:51She's the one who will think for me.
05:53Really?
05:54She's the one who will think for me.
05:56Actually, I won't.
05:57Yes, you won't.
05:58You don't have a choice.
05:59It's a fixed marriage.
06:01But you told me,
06:02Mama,
06:03I asked you,
06:04did you vote for Ruru?
06:07Did you answer me?
06:09Give us
06:11the name
06:13of the artist
06:14who you worked with
06:15who gave you the most attitude.
06:17Hey, attitude.
06:30Hi!
06:32You're also watching
06:33Lutong Bahay.
06:34Earlier,
06:35we started to cook
06:36the special adobo recipe
06:38of Bianca's grandmother,
06:40Mama Vicky.
06:41In the casserole,
06:42we put together
06:44chicken,
06:45soy sauce,
06:46garlic,
06:47onion,
06:48water,
06:49and pepper.
06:50Then, we boil it.
06:51But before we continue
06:52to cook,
06:53what is Mama Vicky's answer
06:55to our question earlier?
06:56You told me,
06:57Mama,
06:58I asked you,
06:59did you vote for Ruru?
07:03Did you answer me?
07:05Earlier,
07:06What did you answer?
07:07You told me,
07:08you didn't just vote,
07:09you voted a lot.
07:10Did you?
07:12But Mama,
07:13you love Ruru.
07:14Of course, I do.
07:15Yes.
07:16You know,
07:17I love her so much.
07:19Our adobo is boiling.
07:21Where's your sugar?
07:22Here it is.
07:23Here it is.
07:24Okay.
07:26It's just like that.
07:27This is the oyster, right?
07:28Yes.
07:29Let's put it in.
07:30Okay, let's put it in.
07:31Just a little bit.
07:32Just a little bit.
07:33There you go.
07:34Okay, stop, Mama.
07:35That's enough.
07:36We can't.
07:37If it's right,
07:38it's okay.
07:42How is Mama Vicky growing up?
07:44Is she strict?
07:45She's not the strict one
07:47that you can't move.
07:48She's not like that.
07:49But what Mama always says is,
07:52you're just going to go,
07:53we'll be back.
07:54That's it.
07:55Really.
07:56That's it.
07:57And when you hear that,
07:58you know there's something you're not doing.
08:00That's right.
08:01When she has a ceremony,
08:02she's cleaning.
08:04But she's telling you what she's going to tell you.
08:06While she's cleaning.
08:07I already told you,
08:08why do you want it this way?
08:10Huh?
08:11I told you,
08:12you're just going to go,
08:13we'll be back.
08:14That's it.
08:15There's something wrong.
08:16I don't want to get confused.
08:18She's not...
08:19No.
08:20She's not confrontational like that.
08:22How is it?
08:23Let's taste it.
08:27She's a winner, Mama.
08:29Is it okay?
08:30It's okay.
08:31Should we put the jitlo?
08:34Should we do it after?
08:36It's like a process.
08:37It should be done later
08:38because it's already cooked.
08:39Okay.
08:40But the color looks good.
08:41Let's put it.
08:42Okay.
08:43What's the one thing
08:45that you're most grateful that Mama taught you?
08:49Contentment.
08:51The way she raised me
08:53is how I am now.
08:54And I am proud to be how I am now.
08:56Because if it wasn't for her,
08:58if it wasn't for her cooking,
09:00her experiences here,
09:02I don't think I would be the Tita Bianca that you have.
09:05Yes, the independent you.
09:07Yes.
09:08She died when she was 5 years old.
09:11And she had 10 fathers.
09:13But her father was always with me.
09:17And when her father passed away,
09:20I was always with her when she was pregnant.
09:23When we have material things that we like,
09:26we know that
09:28if we want something,
09:30we have to work hard for it.
09:32It's not something that we just ask for it
09:35and we'll get it right away.
09:37You have to work hard for everything.
09:39You have to plan if you deserve it or not.
09:42When do you need it?
09:44Do you like it?
09:45Or do you need it?
09:46It was all her.
09:47And so growing up,
09:48even me,
09:49we know that we're not stupid.
09:51We're just waiting for you to go to GMA.
09:54That's true.
09:55You're going to GMA?
09:56Are you coming with us, Mama?
09:57Yes.
09:58She just stopped coming with me when I turned 14.
10:02When I needed to buy a car
10:05because she was already having a hard time.
10:07But before that,
10:08she was always with me.
10:09When you were going through that,
10:11did you ever feel sorry for yourself?
10:14Did you compare yourself to your peers?
10:18Or was that when you applied for contentment?
10:21No.
10:22I didn't see it in her.
10:23You didn't see it?
10:24No.
10:25She has her own...
10:26I guess it's not...
10:28I never felt sorry for myself.
10:31But of course,
10:32as an orphan,
10:33there was always moments where
10:36I would think,
10:37what difference would it make
10:39if Mom and Dad were here?
10:41But I never...
10:42You wonder.
10:43I wonder.
10:44Especially when you see your peers
10:46and your peers.
10:47But regardless,
10:48I was the only one who had my grandma.
10:51And that was what made us different.
10:52And Mama,
10:53even if sometimes,
10:54you had a fight
10:56or you had some issues with your parents,
10:58that's okay.
10:59That's okay.
11:00That's okay.
11:01Yeah.
11:02That's okay.
11:03That's okay, Mama.
11:05So that's it.
11:06That's okay.
11:07That's okay.
11:08Mama has stories
11:10that sometimes,
11:11we would get a little bullied
11:13and all that.
11:14She would never fight back.
11:16Ever.
11:17Never.
11:18What she always told me was,
11:19your time will come.
11:22When I remember...
11:24I didn't get bullied verbally.
11:26No.
11:27I just stayed away from them.
11:29Wait.
11:30I've experienced that.
11:31A lot of mothers do that.
11:32How do you get bullied?
11:33What do they say?
11:34What's this?
11:35The moms of other...
11:36We're also the newest ones.
11:38Who bullied you, Mama?
11:40Her.
11:41Because back then,
11:43she was new.
11:44Yes.
11:45There was a taping.
11:47They had their own beds.
11:50Oh, the taping.
11:51We didn't.
11:52We were just there in the house.
11:56But that was just for a while.
11:57Then she was new.
11:58She also became famous.
12:00That's what she always said.
12:02Your time will come.
12:04Maybe I think it was those times
12:06that she would see me looking.
12:08There are moments like that, right?
12:10You can see the child looking at you.
12:12But you're not talking anymore.
12:13No.
12:14Because, again,
12:15it was instilled in us.
12:16That's so you.
12:19You're embarrassed because you know me.
12:22She'll just accept you.
12:24Because Mama instilled in us
12:27that what you don't have, you don't have.
12:29Work hard to have it.
12:31And that was okay.
12:33We were happy
12:34as long as
12:35we knew Mama was there.
12:37Mama can't believe that.
12:40Let's go, neighbors!
12:42Let's taste
12:43Adobo a la
12:45Victorina!
