[@viobenarrallos5290]

The authenticity of the host to learn the Filipino culture and tradition is amazing!

[@liebert109]

Vh

[@michelski3528]

I’m so jealous of the reporter… she pronounced the Filipino words close to perfection AND she got to eat the food 🙈❤️

[@oriclin]

This host DID THE BEST TO PRONOUNCE the words. Perfectly.

[@calebalonsagay7500]

Most canadian can. American cant

[@nerissam1413]

I got to commend how the host pronounced Filipino word and last name so perfectly! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@annedavid9184]

Bahay Kubo-"My nippa hut is very small, but the food that we grow, it feeds us all"... She sang it wonderfully and explained it to the simplest form yet very on point.

[@xtgm6515]

I didn't even know the English version. I love it and the way she sang it.

[@robienillosistoso628]

Love it too 💕

[@allandupale5288]

I love the part where the host sang, Bahay Kubo, taught by her Grade 4 teacher! Great job Mrs. Sing!

[@davidroynewby]

Tama- galing singing from the host! I remember learning “Ito Ang Araw” at age 10 in Koolokan and still sing it now.

[@leevarona4281]

Huge respect and appreciation for this reporter/host! She really showed sincere delight in showcasing and participating in this special segment. Exemplified the best of Canada as we welcome other cultures here or go into other parts of the world and show appreciation and respect. Love that she was influenced by her teacher (must have been a lovely teacher) to learn about and appreciate Filipino people and culture 💗

[@luzviminda795]

Wow she was in fourth grade when her teacher taught them bahay kubo and she still remembers it.

[@honeysmama9507]

Kudos to the reporter. She was a sport and her pronunciation is amazing ☺️

[@migsgarcia3629]

Rose the chef looked nervous and quite struggled answering questions but still did a good job orienting the host with the kamayan tradition.

[@LuvMyLilBabe]

She spoke good English but was really nervous lol. She didn't really explain why there were no utensils, or why use banana leaves, but to her credit, she did say it started with the Military tradition

[@marsguibone3861]

Same observation...

[@jklm124]

Hay naku si ateng magulo magsalita kung ano ano cnsabe...ndi maliwanag ung Pag eexplain sayang nmn ndi p xa tumitingin sa kausap Pag nagsasalita paiwas ung mata

[@yganoks48]

🎉cheers! I miss my Filipino food esp. Bangus. ❤

[@dotdothunas332]

​@@jklm124sana ikw nagsalita dun haha

[@FelixBeringuel-bi7vm]

That’s spirit of the Filipino sharing food .

[@nrordono0425]

That's right, it's about sharing. A little bit of everything of what you have, to be partaken by many.

[@kenmhilkyong707]

The host is giving her best not to intimidated her guest and well they simply enjoying the best of some of the filipino food we can offer..lovely pres3ntation and choices of foods on that banana leaves💐💗😊

[@carlarosannadelloro5020]

The host did a great job. Very chill and she seemed really intrested in Kamayan

[@JanSuing]

The Kamayan dining tradition exemplifies the profound sense of community prevalent in the Philippines. Similar to other Asian cultures, eating is viewed as a communal experience rather than an individual one. The enjoyment of food is greatly enhanced when shared with loved ones. While this concept is also present in Western culture, Filipino meals go beyond the confines of immediate family. They often encompass extended family members, close friends, and sometimes even the entire community. When visiting a Filipino family during mealtime, it is customary to be warmly invited to partake in the feast.

[@lionsden3324]

Your description and explanation is much better, it did not originate from boodle fight...

[@justa335]

I agree.

[@rhinatapere-diottavio7893]

You described well what the kamayan is all about for the Filipinos. Thank you @JanSuing

[@mcentino]

this is part of filipino culture more often during bayanihan, lunch time after working in rice fields or after completing the work in the field.

[@my66k]

So sweet for Gloria Macarenko to recall her grade school teachers name and sing a famous children's jingle of the Philippines. God bless you.

[@OmarMendoza-kd3lf]

Oh. Great feature. I like when the interviewer sang “Bahay Kubo”. She got the essence of the song.

[@PurpleHaze4me]

Can't help but admire the host. She gives good vibes and makes the guest very comfortable. She makes the content of the show more appealing and worth watching. 10 out of 10.

[@bigmelly8320]

It’s so nice to hear her say all the Filipino/Tagalog words and her name so well!

[@clarisse7763]

Indeed.

[@ameliahirata4629]

Ko ko no m m

[@RVboyjunior]

Kamayan did not start with boodle fight. Kamayan has always been the way people ate especially in the countrysides of the Philippines. It also depends on the food. Of course you can't do kamayan with soup! Kamayan is universally how all people ate from evolution long before the invention of spoon and fork. There is something special about eating with bare hands. Our skin absorbs the flavors and it makes eating more delicious! 😊 I wish this the lady did a much better job in hyping up Pinoy food.

[@nyok2127]

Kamayan or the use of hands in eating meals has been a part of 🇵🇭 Culture long before the so-called “Boodle Fight” from the Ph Military. However, the use of Banana Leaves in its presentation is undeniably popularized by the Soldiers themselves. Hence, the credits! 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@user-sz2ov7tx6x]

Culturally, we use Hands, hence the literal translation for "Kamayan" but dumping a variety of food in banana leaves where ppl eat orignally from Military practices. Using the hands is cultural but "boodle fight" practice orignited from Military

[@helengarcia7703]

Right.

[@joanlagura9085]

She’s not prepared

[@TheHOBBIES20]

She’s excited for Kamayan 😁

[@elmorequiboloy4488]

And she even sang Bahay Kubo 😂 I’m very impressed…good for her ❤.

[@nikkikawaguchi]

The guest seems very flustered.. I love that the host was doing a great job guiding the guest along.

[@thewayfarersjourney6336]

The host is admirable. Hope you can visit the Philippines and experience our hospitality too. And we also would like to thank Canada for giving our fellow Filipinos the opportunity to serve and live there.

[@alexandertrajano9372]

She could have just directly answered the question. We are proud to bring our food to the world!

[@ItsMeNic]

Got to love the host. She got that filipino in her😁. Even remembering the Bahay Kubo from her 4th grade. Thank you for appreciating and accepting Filipino Culture

[@donronaldarcos]

June is Filipino Heritage Month in line with Philippine Independence Day. Wished she mentioned that and not just a celebration of Filipino food. It was still a great exposure to the "kamayan" experience , uniquely Filipino. Thanks Kulinarya!

[@nitibagirlfrnorthcotabato]

Birthmonth kopo hehe

[@annienemus7088]

true. i have nothing against the chef, but it seems she is shy or nervous that she could not express herself or explain the culture properly.

[@joycecornista7884]

The chef is most of the time overwhelmed answers away from the questions.

[@rhinatapere-diottavio7893]

Agree

[@xtgm6515]

Agree. She struggled with her English but she relaxed after a while

[@vinasertic9219]

Awwwww I’m so proud of tgat gorgeous anchor woman who sang Bahay Kubo! Brilliant! However, let me add that “kamayan” which she describes as a bundle flight actually mean camaraderie/friendship. Kamayan is actually not came from that☺️ is part of traditions long ago before the Spanish, Chinese,Japanese and American arrived in the Philippines. Kamayan is Filipino itself😊

[@spartanwarrior1]

It`s rather a SE Asian thing.

[@robienillosistoso628]

She's so authentic 💗

[@Shiryuoftherain23]

As a Filipino , wow the first time i saw it international tv show of kamayan❤ big respect to foreign people .. Kamayan is traditional to us it means the food makes us come bck to one unity ,❤

[@robienillosistoso628]

Love it too 💓

[@AlllAboutYou]

Nice...Filipino food are now gaining more exposure in the West. Keep it up!

[@irawilliams343]

Every time I see Filipino food being admired around the world brings a smile to my face

[@daveroams]

Filipino food is insanely delicious. Actually,today was my first time to try Filipino food with my hands. I have been staying in the Philippines for 2 weeks and I have never been happier. You should definitely visit in the Philippines and experience this beautiful country!🤩

[@thefakebutcher]

NAKAKA PROUD TALAGA MAGING FILIPINO ❤❤❤.😊😘

[@user-qx7xp3ni4q]

KAMAYAN is the Filipino version that originated with their ancestors. It did not start with boodle fight. When Magellan landed in 1521 in the Philippines, he is invited to a feast and it was documented in Pigaffetta's diary. It is a pre-colonial tradition that is still observed today. More than 500 years of history!

[@robertopena6214]

Kamayan is not just filipino way of eating food, and the chef stated also the word "boodle fight" is originated from the military. Eating hands in the philippines are common even the time of magellan.

[@rinotilde2699]

Agree

[@lizpulian1734]

Ikr? Even the Filipino woman doesn't know the origin of Kamayan. I've never even ever heard of "Boodle Fight" until ex-Philippine President Duterte's time.

[@BisayaUnited]

True hehe if she ddnt rly know the origin she shud have been honest in saying that , but what a feast! The food look delisj

[@atsimejean9961]

"Kamayan" ni re represent po ito ng mga filipinong farmers. Sila po ay nag babaon ng kanilang pagkain o pananghalian at ibinabahagi din ito sa kapwa nila magsasaka. Madalas po sa kanila ay naka kamay lang kumakain na naka latag sa dahon ng saging. habang kumakanta o nakikinig ng musiko. Sa mga hindi po nakakaalam, tuwing fiesta or kasalan sa ibang mga probinsya. Nag papakain po sila na ang gamit ay dahon ng saging or yung balat ng puno ng saging. Wala pong kutsara.

[@tesscarry]

Oo nga eh , hindi mga army ang nagumpisa nyan .....

[@GG-ve1hv]

Thanks for sharing... Paki post mo ulit pra puma ibabaw yung comment mo...

[@uzzielgalang1405]

It gave me a goose bump when she started singing Bahay Kubo.

[@jr.vincentrongavilla8059]

Ang bilis nyang matutu ahh! 😮 ibang foreigner hindi agad natototonan kung panu kumain ng nakakamay. Great job

[@lunapam2447]

outstanding reporter, showing very genuine and real appreciation to our culture, her curiosity and interest is overflowing and that is such a huge sign of respect, as a filipino who has never been to canada she gives a wonderful impression of Canadians, again kudos to the reporter👏 I was smiling like an idiot until the end of the video.

[@Recubs0608]

Kamayan is like a celebration with the community, with the family and friends.

[@eatsmylifeYT]

No, it's not. It just describes the way the food is eaten. It's not a celebration at all.

[@zchesiq]

Thank you for sharing our heritage with other people. It means alot to be seen ❤

[@robienillosistoso628]

True 💗

[@severinosison7106]

She's having hard time explaining. But food looks great. ❤

[@AllAboutZhy]

Gloria, you are such a beautiful person. Thank you for being so open on trying how Filipinos eat.

[@tessieramos3576]

This is awesome to see showing the world our Filipino heritage.❤❤❤

[@butterlagmay5168]

I love how the host is so interested and is so excited about the food, the culture and the stories behind everything. You don't really get this kind of interviews from foreign shows since most of them are either rushed or with little to no interest by the hosts. I love her. I hope her and the whole crew got to experience all the food laid at the table ❤ 🇵🇭🇵🇭

[@MichaelSuarez-yq3wt]

Kamayan started long before Western colonization. The military adopted as sign of equility solidarity brotherhood and camaraderie.

[@DarkR0ze]

Delightful! The host, guest, food, culture, absolutely delightful!

[@zchesiq]

[@pcsixty6]

Come on now. Kamayan is the most basic and ancient way of eating. it certainly didn't start with the Boodle fight.

[@nyok2127]

True, but the Banana Leaves? Credits to the Soldiers in the Ph jungles. 🤷🏻‍♂️ #BoodleFight 🙄

[@annilustrisimo9718]

I know right?🙄🙄🙄 hindi sia lumaki sa Pinas 😂

[@JanuWaray]

Filipinos have been using banana leaves for eating even before Magellan came. I was born in Leyte, in a rural agricultural area where there's plenty of coconut trees and banana plants. Eating with our bare hands using seared banana leaves (to sanitize and make them supple and strong) as our plate was, and still is, a common practice among us, esp.when having meals in the middle of a rice field or coconut grove, far away from one's own house.

[@nyok2127]

@@JanuWaray But, it was indeed the soldiers that popularized it nationwide. The style of putting Banana Leaves in a Long Table & style of putting Rice in the middle as base for the ulams is very Boodle Fight. 🙄

[@ferdinandviernes8439]

perfect ununciation of "KAMAYAN" & SAMANIEGO

[@elizabethsiapno]

Kamayan RESTAURANT i remember while i visited last 2022. i like PILIPINO food so yummy 😋 YUMMY

[@LoveHamaila]

I miss pilipino food!!🥺 watching from saudi arabia❤

[@kjon2503]

Kamayan is the Original Term. The Term Boodle Fight was hyped during Eraps Administration, came from Military Term to eat fast with time restrictions.

[@paulieordinary817]

The host was very pleasant and I appreciate her for letting Chef Rose to finish answering the questions though she kinda struggle a bit probably because of nervousness. Chef Rose did a great a job too in explaining the Kamayan tradition.

[@cherubim3460]
