Philippines use to be colonized my Britain 🇬🇧 that’s why oldest people still familiar with English language . The British occupation innManilla was an episode in Colonial history of the Philippines 🇵🇭. When the Kingdom of Great Britain occupied the Spanish Colonial,capital of Manila and the nearby Port of Cavite. That’s why some Philipines can speak English and Spanish mixtures.

[@stop_jesting]

Many Filipino are saying that they're staying in the Philippines but never heard of this food named etag. Well, that's normal because there are more than 7000+ island in the Philippines composed of at least 200+ languages/dialects. Each had it's own culture and traditions so you can't describe the Philippines' culture as a whole because of its diverse culture.

The grandpa is 98 years old? It means he grew up during the American colonial period in the Philippines. He went to school which were staffed with American teachers brought all the way from the US. That explains why many of our elderly in the PH are very fluent in English. My grandparents and my parents did not have much money but they were educated and they required us to speak English at home. That has been a source of friction when i was growing up. But when i reached college, i came to appreciate why they did that and thankful to them. I intend to do that when i will have kids.

[@ack1246]

Thank you for featuring our IGOROT culture in your channel. However, some of the details regarding the preparation of etag here are missed and I just want to add them to clear all misconceptions the viewers may have. (1) We do COOK THE MEAT before eating it. IT IS NOT EATEN RAW. (2) The MAGGOTS ARE REMOVED during washing before cooking. If not totally removed, they are safe to eat though. They along with the meat are cooked killing all bacteria and parasites that You might be worried about. (3) It is not served as a main course. It is usually mixed with vegetables, soup, or with pinikpikan (chicken). (4) Back in the day, yes, they only prepare pinikpikan after occasions/celebrations as it is only at these certain times that our ancestors have access to meat. Nowadays, as long as you have excess meat, anyone can prepare ETAG. No ritual is required before making some.

Ate an Etag already, it's a salted and smoked pork kept under the sun or hanging. It taste like just smoked ham or bacon but with more nuttyness in it, no putrid taste or whatsoever. However, the Etag featured in this one is one of the more hardcore types. Typically, the Etags you can buy in markets are well kept, handled, and doesn't have maggots. It's just like aged pork :)

[@redfullmoon]

I had an etagsilog in Baguio, the one I got was actually pretty funky, it didn't taste like just smoked ham or bacon that you usually get in stores. It depends siguro who made your etag, you might have gotten one made more "sanitised" but etag definitely has a funky aftertaste.

[@papajupri1070]

The Spaniards had a hard time conquering the Cordillera regions during their reign. However, the Americans were more systematic and offered a more civilized approach -- a win-win for both the settlers and government, if you will. The reason why Cordillerans are very proficient in English is that our elders were educated by the Americans, did businesses with them and befriended them, to say the least. They even set up military bases in different parts of the region as well. So the Americans had more impact in the lives of Cordillerans. So if you were to ask the Igorots what language they could speak, they're ethnic dialect would come first, English would come second, then probably Ilocano and only a few could speak straight Filipino (Tagalog, though it might vary in different areas). And oh, we usually add etag to "pinikpikan" or white or black beans. Man this is making me miss home -- the cold weather and all. Cheers man and thank you!

[@Onetazien]

Shouldn't have put up with being occupied by any western foreigners in your damn country.

[@papajupri1070]

Onetazien Welp, we can't tell that to our ancestors now eh?

[@RyuRaza]

Papa JuPri Lol! Could you be any more ignorant? The first 15 years of US colonisation were so brutal that the US had already killed more people than the Spanish did over the course of 300 years. President McKinley said that the US could not let the Spanish take back the Philippines because it would be cowardly and letting France and Germany take Philippines would be bad for business. He considered Filipinos incapable of ruling themselves, so he could “educate” and Christianise them, something the Spanish did to many people. 1889 - the US declared war on the Philippines to CHRISTIANISE, CIVILISE and EDUCATE the people. 1899 - 1905 - 1.4 million killed in just 6 years. The US also referred to Filipinos as "brown dogs"

+Alice Dwight its in cordillera though

[@papajupri1070]

Raza Kazama Your point being? All I'm saying in this comment is how proficient the Igorots are in the English language, and how they were influrnced. I'm mainly pertaining to my region and not the entire Philippines. Now, if you're pointing out the brutality of the Americans, I didn't even touch that subject. The other parts of thr Philippines might not have fought back well, hence your tirade, but not my people. Here's a reading for you. Get back to me when you're done reading. ncca.gov.ph/subcommissions/subcommission-on-cultural-heritagesch/historical-research/ethnic-history-cordillera/

[@maea5653]

I like how you immersed yourself in the filipino culture in a respectful way especially dealing with an elder igorot. Not a lot of people would have the guts to do just what you did. I love it when people actually dig deep into our culture. Philippines its not just about the beautiful beaches and landscapes its also about the diverse culture that we have and experiencing it, its what makes us unique in our very own way. There are some foreigners that would make brash remarks just cause its not normal for their culture, but youre on point with the respect and love! salutre brotha!

[@nicmarcelino9944]

I personally know of a story of an Irishman travelling to Mountain Province with his Filipino friends some years ago. When he met with a very old local (a relative of his friends) who offered his home for them to spend the night with, the Irishman saw the making of the etag. He then said that he was reminded of a part of their own culture where they do something quite similar, though different to a bird's meat; i.e. smoking, drying under the sun, etc.

[@connaito]

In Vietnam, there are similar food. You can go to the plateau, and go to the mountain, meet the Ede ethnic, they have food name "meat hanging on the tree". When they go to the forest, they hang the meat on the tree to avoid animal. After a few days they come back, they will roast it, eat the meat also the maggots.

[@lhyandiaz3542]

most of the elders in cordillera can speak english fluently because of the american collonial

[@fearlessandfar]

It seems so strange. I never expected them to!

[@josephrobledo6772]

Thats true most of elders in the philipines can speak english or spanish because of american and spanish colonials

[@rnldcgyn8406]

Agreed

[@eduardochavacano]

and mainly because unlike 98% of Filipinos they dont watch TV which toast the brains of the average Filipinos

[@european-one]

I found their political views interesting too. Most older Filipinos didn't like Americans, I guess maybe because they were a former colonial power. They also didn't dislike the Spanish as much as I expected, probably because none of them were alive during their occupation. They also seemed to love Britain and I really couldn't fathom why. Younger generation don't really care though They have a lot of history with many different country's. My girlfriend can speak English, visayan, Tagalog and Spanish. Meanwhile I only speak once language.

Samantala yung EBA ngayun college mapurol mag english!!

[@ememe1412]

Walang problema sana kung hindi marunong mag-Ingles. Ang buwisit ay kung hindi hiyang sa kahit na anong wika. Taglish salita katapos hindi kayang mag-Ingles ng tuwid o managalog ng tuwid. It's not an issue if one doesn't know how to speak in English. What's irritating is when one is not fluent in any language. Taglish is spoken but can neither speak straight in English nor speak straight in Tagalog. 'Nakakapalalong'

[@wallacedavis3110]

great content bro... I'm a Filipino.. and i have been to Sagada just this May 29, 2018..it was just a quick tour. a lot of us Filipinos down the plains don't know much of the culture up there in Sagada(or more like the mountain provinces) so it's great of you having this content going through some of the details of the culture up there.. very informative.. blessings

[@fearlessandfar]

It really is amazing up there. Thank you!

[@westmajestad1557]

Yeah I'm one of them. I never know that there is a food like that here in the Philippines. There's maggots on it. 😨 i don't think I can eat that. Even balut I only the yellow part I don't eat the chick.

[@gabrielvicente6027]

No difference between cheese with maggots eaten in Europe. All edible my friend. Thanks for showing a ring with us. God bless.

[@delmacapagal1097]

So brave of you to try Etag. I think it's safe to eat, as the smoking process has cooked the meat, and that process along with the cool weather in Sagada helps to preserve the meat. Hope to see more of your adventures in the Philippine Islands. Be well. 🔥 😄

[@barefootadventurer5002]

So awesome-- the village elder was wearing the same shirt that one of my friends has and wears all the time in America. It's like a crazy version of deja vu to see the same familiar design in a video from the other side of the world. Can't wait to hear about cooked etag!

[@fearlessandfar]

Hahaha that is so weird!

[@iangardener2998]

Of all the places in the Philippines, Sagada holds the most special spot in my heart. It was a surreal feeling to witness a traditional Sagada wedding where they played the Gangsa all night long as part of the festivities. Looking forward to more FIGHTERBOYS 2.0 adventures!

Thank you mike. Your videos deserved millions of views and you deserved million subscribers.God bless you. I will tell to my friends to subscribe to your channel. 😊❤

[@tankshot3256]

Awesome Mike! Amazing immersion with the rich culture of the cordilleras. They are the serranos (people of the mountains) of the philippines. That etag is nasty! Props to you man. Hope you can make your segments longer!

[@fearlessandfar]

Serranos? Like the peppers? Thanks so much man!

[@tankshot3256]

Serranos in spanish (also found in Portugal and Brazil) is topographic name for someone who lived by a mountain ridge or chain of hills, from an adjectival derivative of serra.

[@rhian1621]

If you're wondering how the Village Elders are so fluent to English (also Spanish and Japanese) due to our past Colonization from Americans, Japanese and Spaniards, That's why my Grandma who's a non elementary graduate can speak perfect 4 Languages including our own Fact: among all places in the Philippines only Cordillera is hardest to conquer back then, that's why most Traditions in the Cordillera Region is still alive

[@edmagadi5151]

Etag- smoked pork meat, can be dried pork with salt. Some put vinegar to avoid flies if under the sun. Some cover the salted pork with net to avoid flies.

[@abcatipon3344]

I was amazed by mike because not all foreigners will try that. I was also amazed by Elder Patrick for Speaking in English.

Hi Mike! First of all, before I watched this video, I was lousily scrolling youtube videos and that moment I saw some nasty-looking chunk of meat then I immediately hit that video. I never knew that Filipinos are way more "sophisticated" and specially culture-centered, and thanks to you, you've shown me that. I'm glad I'm a Filipino and I'm sure many of us are giving you our most sincere gratitude for spreading the Filipino way of living, and our deep sense of cultural practice. I am hoping that you'll continue your journey by visiting many places and patiently reviewing and promoting them. God bless:)

[@vincentbangao5419]

In a foreign country they called it aged meat covered in salt or ajinomoto but the difference is we igorots use the sunlight to process it while the other countries put to the refrigerator while covered in salt
