00:00
Okay, we're going to start the 30 seconds.
00:07
At first glance, these men don't look like they're going to drown.
00:11
They're not going to catch you.
00:14
They're going to your tail.
00:15
You can do it.
00:16
Okay, okay.
00:18
But when they're about to, each of them...
00:21
They're about to...
00:24
They're about to...
00:26
I'm ready.
00:28
...be swallowed.
00:35
Why are they being swallowed?
00:40
It's hard to resist. It hurts to resist.
00:48
Let's go.
00:50
A floating rock.
00:54
Is it really floating?
00:58
Yes, you heard it right.
01:01
The rock I'm holding now is floating.
01:04
And it's one of the big concerns of the residents here.
01:08
This rock is believed by the locals to be able to cure diseases.
01:15
This rock is fragile.
01:17
That's why rocks sink because of the density or the measurement of how fragile it is.
01:23
This is the ratio of mass over volume.
01:25
The rock has a high density because it contains a lot of minerals.
01:30
The water, on the other hand, has a low density.
01:32
That's why when the rock is put in the water, the rock naturally sinks.
01:36
You know a lot, Kim.
01:39
But why did the rock float in the video?
01:42
That's what we're going to find out.
01:49
In Misamis Oriental, the video was taken by a floating rock.
01:53
The content creator, Rene, showed that the floating rock weighed almost 6 kilos.
01:59
6 kilos?
02:01
He also weighed another rock.
02:03
Come closer, Tol.
02:04
Alright.
02:05
This small rock weighed only 2 kilos.
02:10
And he split the rock in half.
02:13
This is a real floating rock, guys.
02:15
This is a real floating rock.
02:24
Look at this, guys.
02:26
This is not a joke.
02:27
This is a real floating rock.
02:30
This video has 3.4 million views.
02:34
This story has something to do with the story that there is a floating rock inside Misamis Oriental.
02:42
That's why I went there.
02:44
Because I wanted to see if it's true that there is a floating rock in their place.
02:51
The floating rock is in the power of a local.
02:55
It was in the care of Rita's mother for 5 years.
02:59
Rita's mother also told her that she has a feeling now.
03:03
And she believes that the floating rock can help her feel better.
03:10
The people in the comment section have different opinions.
03:14
What can a geoscientist say?
03:23
It's big.
03:24
Can it fly?
03:29
THE BIGGEST BOMB IN THE UNIVERSE
03:33
This is an uproarious and high-pitched topic that the ShINNEO community is excited about in the online universe.
03:38
But why does this video get viral?
03:40
Let's go together and find out the stories behind viral videos and trending topics,
03:45
here in
03:46
KAMI MUNGALAM KUYA KIB!
03:48
And it's your turn.
03:50
This was quite a intense topic, so many people are avoiding it.
03:54
But in this video of the former members of the Sambuangan del Sur,
03:57
it is evident that they were bitten by a cat
03:59
and their blood was splashed on the hungry people of Lintah.
04:14
It was not a snake or a cockroach that was ordered on the menu by the content creator Eric.
04:20
This is a gigantic hito or catfish that he calls anaconda.
04:24
It has almost four legs and has a video of 1.7 million views.
04:31
It's big. Can he handle this?
04:36
The number of people fell when they saw a huge stone
04:39
floating in a deep lake in the Mesamis Oriental.
04:42
It has 3.4 million views and did not move.
04:46
Six kilograms of stone is equivalent to its weight.
04:49
Yes, you heard it right.
04:51
The stone I'm holding now is floating.
04:57
Those are meteor stones.
04:59
They usually fall from the sea.
05:02
This rock seems to be pumice.
05:05
I think those are dead corals.
05:07
Let's analyze the comments of netizens.
05:10
Meteorites or bularakaw have a high density
05:14
because it is rich in minerals such as iron and nickel.
05:17
That's why it's guaranteed to sink into the water.
05:20
Most of the comments are saying that this might be pumice.
05:24
What can a geoscientist say?
05:26
What is pumice?
05:28
Pumice is a volcanic rock ejected during a violent eruption of a volcano.
05:33
It's light, so it's the rock that floats in the water.
05:40
Pumice has air pockets between molecules
05:43
that's why it has a lower density in the water by 2 to 3 times.
05:47
But according to our expert,
05:49
pumice doesn't look like the one in the video.
05:51
It was fossilized eventually.
05:53
So the corals were replaced with minerals.
05:57
When corals die, it releases gas
06:00
that creates air pockets in its skeleton.
06:03
Because of the many holes, it becomes less dense in the water.
06:06
The reason is to float.
06:09
To prove that it's possible to cure rock diseases,
06:13
there's no scientific proof.
06:15
But this rock is.
06:17
It's just a proof that we can't be fooled
06:19
by the wonders of nature that we can discover.
06:22
There are a lot of big ones.
06:25
It's big.
06:26
Can it float?
06:30
It's moving.
06:32
It's moving.
06:33
It's moving.
06:35
It's moving.
06:39
It's moving.
06:47
Have you seen a catfish?
06:49
The big fish that looks like a cat.
06:55
But this big?
06:57
Can I see again how big it is?
07:00
It's bigger than the catfish you saw.
07:03
This vlog has almost 1.7 million views.
07:07
People are so pitiful when it comes to catfish.
07:11
But is this for real?
07:13
Or are we just being catfished?
07:20
If this catfish is this big, it looks like an anaconda.
07:23
Let's read the comments on the video.
07:26
That's a delicious coconut milk.
07:28
The catfish is so big.
07:29
It's enough for a meal for the whole family.
07:32
It's scary to eat.
07:33
You don't know what you're feeding the catfish.
07:37
It's so heavy.
07:38
I can't even hold it with one hand.
07:40
The vlog of this giant catfish was taken by the mukbang content creator, Eric,
07:44
from Inos Kabiti.
07:46
At a store selling catfish that is close to them,
07:49
Eric was surprised by the size of the catfish he bought.
07:53
When I first came here,
07:55
we were surprised by the size of the catfish.
07:57
It's like a four-legged catfish.
08:00
That's when I got interested in vlogging
08:05
The catfish is big.
08:07
Actually, I don't know what it tastes like.
08:09
But when I tasted it,
08:11
it's quality.
08:12
Actually, they know that the catfish is fishy.
08:16
But when I tasted it,
08:18
it's delicious and fresh.
08:21
One,
08:23
two,
08:24
three.
08:25
Say it to the camera.
08:27
What's the English name of the catfish?
08:28
Catfish.
08:29
Not catfish?
08:30
Catfish.
08:31
Catfish.
08:32
Do you know why the catfish is called catfish?
08:34
Because of the catfish smell.
08:36
Where does the catfish smell come from?
08:38
From the antenna.
08:41
Antenna.
08:42
That's great.
08:43
You know a lot, brother Kim.
08:46
The giant catfish can be bought here at this store.
08:50
In 2021,
08:51
Mang Jojo started selling grilled catfish.
08:53
And this is where he first sold live tilapia.
08:56
When we were selling tilapia,
08:59
when it came to catfish,
09:00
it was really different.
09:01
It was a giant.
09:03
We started with a giant
09:04
so that it would be really big
09:06
and good for 8 to 10 people.
09:08
When we were kids,
09:09
we loved to swim.
09:11
We loved to fish.
09:12
My brothers were with us.
09:14
So, we caught catfish.
09:16
I really love eating catfish.
09:21
The live catfish,
09:22
which are light and fresh,
09:23
can be bought here
09:24
and came from Bulacan.
09:25
Here at my store,
09:27
I thought of putting a small fish pond
09:30
so that my customers can experience
09:33
that they can choose and catch
09:35
inside a fish pond.
09:39
It's been less than a week
09:40
since they started selling
09:41
because of the number of customers.
09:46
Mang Jojo has two types of catfish.
09:48
The good size,
09:49
which weighs 1 kilo,
09:51
and the oversized,
09:53
which weighs 3 to 5 kilos.
09:56
This one should be easy to catch.
09:58
It's hard to catch.
09:59
It has a pectoral spine.
10:01
It's sharp like a knife.
10:04
If you get stung,
10:06
it hurts a lot.
10:07
If you're sensitive,
10:10
you can get sick
10:12
because it has a mad venom.
10:17
Many people are curious
10:18
about the taste of giant catfish,
10:20
and they want to know
10:21
which catfish they should buy.
10:23
And if the taste is different
10:24
depending on the size.
10:26
We challenged Mang Jojo
10:27
to prepare a small and big catfish.
10:29
He will cook it in the same way
10:31
and let people taste it.
10:33
Mang Jojo prepared the catfish and grilled it.
10:42
After more than an hour,
10:44
it's cooked.
10:46
We planned to change the position
10:48
of the plate to oversized
10:50
and regular-sized to grill it here.
10:56
The taste is more delicious
10:58
with this one inside.
11:00
It's delicious.
11:02
The food is delicious.
11:04
It's the same.
11:05
It's delicious.
11:06
It's the same,
11:07
even if it's bigger or smaller.
11:09
It's the same.
11:10
It's the same.
11:11
It's the same.
11:12
It's the same.
11:13
It's the same,
11:14
even if it's bigger or smaller.
11:15
But the big question is,
11:16
how did Mang Jojo get the feeling
11:18
of catfish?
11:21
According to the expert,
11:22
the answer is not because
11:24
of the size or the price of the catfish.
11:26
But because the giant catfish
11:28
that Mang Jojo sells
11:29
is a big species of fish,
11:31
the African catfish.
11:34
The native catfish
11:36
grows slowly
11:37
and its size is not that big.
11:41
Comparably to the African catfish.
11:46
These are native to Africa
11:47
and some parts of the Middle East.
11:49
They are long, cylindrical,
11:51
and have no slanted body.
11:53
They also have a broad and flat head.
11:55
It grows bigger and bigger.
11:57
It can grow one meter
11:59
and more.
12:00
It is preferably caught
12:03
or cultured
12:04
because of its fast growth rate.
12:07
If this is how they grow,
12:09
like the African catfish,
12:11
it's surprising.
12:12
But if you taste it,
12:14
you'll be amazed.
12:19
You know a lot, Kim.
12:23
It's crazy, sir.
12:24
It's so big.
12:25
It's hard to hold it.
12:26
It hurts to hold it.
12:37
Okay.
12:38
One more time.
12:39
Thirty seconds.
12:40
At first glance,
12:41
these men
12:42
seem to be just diving in the water.
12:44
Come here, Mahawa.
12:45
Come here, Mahawa.
12:46
I'm coming.
12:47
I'm coming to you.
12:48
Can you do it?
12:49
Okay, okay.
12:50
But when they dive,
12:51
each of them
12:55
is swallowed
12:58
by the catfish.
13:01
It's a catfish.
13:02
It's a catfish.
13:03
It's a catfish.
13:04
It's a catfish.
13:05
It's a catfish.
13:12
Why did they
13:13
get swallowed by the catfish?
13:17
It's hard to hold it.
13:18
It hurts to hold it.
13:24
The netizens
13:25
didn't hold back
13:26
in commenting.
13:28
Your challenge is amazing, idol.
13:31
Count me in.
13:33
Really?
13:35
The creature
13:36
that can be seen
13:37
sucking blood
13:38
in the videos
13:39
is the catfish.
13:40
The catfish
13:41
or leech
13:42
is classified as
13:43
tyrodinea
13:44
saphylum annelida
13:45
or segmented catfish.
13:47
They are known
13:48
for being able
13:49
to stick to the skin
13:50
of other animals
13:51
and suck blood.
13:52
There are two suction cups
13:53
of catfish.
13:54
One in the front
13:55
and one in the back.
13:56
Usually, catfish
13:57
can be seen
13:58
in rivers,
13:59
lakes,
14:00
flatlands
14:01
and muddy lands.
14:02
You know a lot,
14:03
bro.
14:06
Welcome
14:07
to our vlog.
14:08
We met
14:09
the men
14:10
in the video
14:11
in Bayug,
14:12
Buagat, El Sur.
14:14
And what they did
14:15
was the catfish challenge.
14:16
They were challenged
14:17
by Jonel Bacpa,
14:18
their leader.
14:19
This is the challenge.
14:20
It's a contest.
14:21
Within two minutes,
14:22
whoever catches
14:23
the most catfish
14:24
wins the prize.
14:25
The catfish
14:26
in the Bisaya language
14:27
means
14:28
catfish.
14:30
We thought about
14:31
doing this challenge
14:32
because it's hard
14:33
to catch
14:34
a catfish
14:35
in the Philippines.
14:36
We know that
14:37
it's hard
14:38
to remove
14:39
the catfish
14:40
if it's stuck.
14:41
A lot of people
14:42
are afraid of it.
14:43
Here in the Philippines,
14:44
there are a lot of catfish.
14:45
One,
14:46
two,
14:47
three,
14:48
go!
14:49
In the video,
14:50
three men
14:51
went fishing
14:52
at the same time.
14:58
At the beginning,
14:59
some were moving
15:00
on the water
15:01
to get closer
15:02
to the catfish.
15:04
While others
15:05
were just standing.
15:08
One of the catfish
15:09
that Jonel caught
15:10
was Rommel.
15:12
Rommel knows
15:13
that there are a lot of catfish
15:14
in their area.
15:15
He was afraid of it
15:16
but even though
15:17
he was nervous,
15:18
he was still brave
15:19
to catch it.
15:22
Alan is the same.
15:24
He's the oldest
15:25
in the group.
15:32
After two minutes,
15:33
they got up.
15:37
That's when they saw
15:41
a pile of catfish
15:43
that was stuck
15:44
to their rods.
15:46
Rommel
15:47
was almost
15:48
out of catfish.
15:55
When he tried
15:56
to remove it,
15:59
his rod broke.
16:04
It's hard
16:05
to remove it.
16:06
It hurts.
16:08
Alan was also
16:09
trying to remove it.
16:15
It's hard to remove it
16:16
because the rod
16:17
is broken.
16:19
The catfish
16:20
that was removed
16:21
was put inside
16:22
a container.
16:25
What do you call
16:26
a catfish?
16:28
Sipsip.
16:31
Can you guess
16:32
what it feels like
16:33
to be bitten by a catfish?
16:34
It hurts.
16:35
Do you know that
16:36
a catfish bite
16:37
is not painful?
16:38
It has a natural anesthetic
16:39
called anesthesia.
16:40
It also has
16:41
a natural anticoagulant
16:42
so that your blood
16:43
won't clot.
16:44
You know a lot,
16:45
brother Kim.
16:47
Most of the catfish
16:48
are not dangerous.
16:49
They are afraid
16:50
of small animals
16:51
or other
16:52
rotten things.
16:54
Freshwater geysers
16:55
stick to the skin
16:56
of people
16:57
and suck blood
16:58
and eventually
16:59
the catfish
17:00
will also leave
17:01
the skin.
17:03
But why is blood
17:04
the favorite
17:05
food of catfish?
17:06
Because they are
17:07
parasitic.
17:08
In order to process
17:09
the blood,
17:10
they need
17:11
protein
17:12
for their
17:13
survival.
17:14
How can you
17:15
remove it?
17:16
It's advisable
17:17
not to pull it
17:18
because
17:19
if you pull it,
17:20
it might leave
17:21
its teeth
17:22
and become
17:23
a source
17:24
of infection.
17:25
The best thing is
17:26
if you have
17:27
salt,
17:28
put salt
17:29
so that the catfish
17:30
will leave
17:31
its teeth.
17:32
But did you also know
17:33
that catfish
17:34
is part of
17:35
ancient medicine?
17:36
In ancient Egypt
17:37
and Greece,
17:38
it is believed
17:39
that blood
17:40
can cure diseases.
17:41
Catfish are
17:42
stuck to the skin
17:43
to suck blood.
17:44
This process
17:45
is called
17:46
bleaching or
17:47
heredotherapy.
17:48
According to Junel,
17:49
he finished
17:50
his work
17:51
in the afternoon.
17:52
They also cleaned
17:53
their teeth
17:54
with soap
