I-Witness: 'Ang Tunay na Barako', dokumentaryo ni Howie Severino | Full episode

Aired (September 24, 2021): Saksi ang mga daang taong puno ng barako sa iba't ibang kaganapan sa kasaysayan ng Batangas. Ang mga pamilyang nagbigay ng pinansyal na suporta kina General Miguel Malvar noong panahon ng rebolusyon, yumaman dahil sa kape. Pero ang tunay na barako na nagpayaman sa Lipa, Batangas noon, mahirap na raw mahanap?

Napakahusay talaga ng GMA when it comes to documentary.. Di nakakasawa ng manuod.. Sana ito ang panuorin ng mga kbataan ngayon.. Hindi puro mga online games

[@ma.karinacastillejo1196]

Born and raised po ako sa Lipa. Back in the day may kapehan ang mga lolo at lola ko. Katulong kami sa pamumuti at pagbibilad. Kapag hinog ang kape sa puno pinipitas ko minsan at kinakain kase matamis. Mabango din ang bulaklak nito. Pinaglalaruan lang namin yung mga bunga not knowing na napakahalaga pala nito dahil nga bata kami nuon. Ang saya lang balikan. Yung taniman namin wala na ngayon. Naibenta ito nun magkasakit ng sabay ang lolo at lola ko.

[@rnbo5885]

Coffee like grapes has its individual unique tastes depending many factors such as variety, land, weather, season, picking, handling, processing, roasting and finally preparation. As a cup of coffee is served, a sip is like a masterpiece worthy of accolade for those who humbly toiled it. Salute to our own local coffee growers. Dumami sana ang produksyon, magandang kalidad at affordable na presyo sa lahat. Kudos! Philippine Coffee..

[@kanay_norie]

I’m very happy you survived COVID, Howie! Dahil diyan makakagawa ka pa ng maraming high-quality and inspiring documentaries like this one. This is a feel good documentary and makes me proud of my Filipino heritage.

[@roizeldiez3500]

This is a very important part of our history, albeit a forgotten one.

Forgotten or not recognized? I've purchased coffee beans mainly from South America and Africa, but never did I encounter the ones from the Philippines.

I remember my Lolo used to drink barako every morning and afternoon and I used to try it too when I was a kid adding a bit of muscovado, or brown sugar, and nido milk hahaha, and we have a small tree of barako back then, good old times, I’ve never been more proud of being a Lipeño, thank you for this wonderful documentary.

Salamat Sir Howie para sa dokumentaryong ito para sa isang Batangueno tulad ko napakahalaga nito

[@emilynjemiera3009]

Howie Severino's documentary about coffee was great! He was able to connect coffee to the Philippine history and it's heroes. You can also feel how much effort he have made to his coffee research by bridging it to what people of Lipa is doing currently with the help of UP Los Banos and Mr. What a brilliant researcher/journalist he is!

@@LakbaySiklista i don't think so boss, isa yun sa mga wrong move n ginawa ni howie, hndi ideal tamnan ng arabica tree ang batangas kasi mababa lang na area yun eh, sa way pa ng pgtanim nia walang proper shading ung coffee tree so there's a posibility na king mag bear man ng fruit yon..swerte nia na na mka isa sya..napaka complicated at delicate ng arabica, and mostly tlga is sa mga high elevation area sya mas may chance na mag bunga ng mggndang cherries at mag develop ng mas mssarap na flavor👍

Napakaganda talaga ng lupain ng Pilipinas. Nakakapang hinayang na hindi tayo supportado ng sarili nating pamahalaan. Agricultural country pero puro planta lang ang itinantayo. Hindi tayo bagay na industrialized country. May mga Coffee bean and coconut industry tayo. Maraming salamat sir Howie sa pagbibigay pansin sa mga local na industriya.

Bukod sa pagiging matapang ni Heneral Miguel Malvar naging tapat din ito sa Katipunan , he never betrayed Andres Bonifacio instead he aligned himself with Bonifacio,and he is also a good friend of Rizal’s family.

Taga Lipa ako, naabutan ko pa yung tinatawag na “looban”, yung mga taniman na puro puno na parang gubat. Nung bata ako, makikita mo pa sa mga dadaanan mo yung mga kapeng idinumi ng mga musang o civet cats pagkatapos nilang kainin. Grabe sa mahal pala yun, nakakahinayang lang dahil nawala na halos ang mga taniman sa Lipa.

Apparently, Batangas province still holds the title of being one of the richest in the country. It has been the 2nd richest province in the Philippines for 3 consecutive years, as per CoA's annual financial reports for LGUs. Mind you, there are over 70 provinces in the country. However, the coffee industry is no longer the main source of income of this province. Today, Batangas houses some of the largest power plants, piers, corporations, and industrial/manufacturing parks in the country.
