Our life in RUSSIAN VILLAGE IN SAMAL! Catching waran and picking up ripe jackfruit

[@josemarvinreyes253]

Philippines is a small country but we always lend a helping hand to countries in war, we provided place/village for Vietnamese in Palawan, Israel and now Russia…proud to be Pinoy, very welcoming and helpful.

Not refugees but protecting their family and keeping them together. Full respect for wanting to be together and move to a totally different country. They are not waiting for a handout from the Phil government -- they are supporting themselves and trying to make a living. Hope you and your good looking and well behaved children enjoy the peaceful and simple life in Samal and be as productive as am sure you can be. Welcome and good luck.

[@RobinSantacera]

Good morning ma'am.. you are so jack fruit lover...I am happy for you ma'am because you have a lot fruit bearing trees in your place there in Russian community..

[@ferdinandtaneo3770]

When you harvest cacao or chocolate fruit it must be slight yellow or yellow, not red, you can eat the white color outside core and save all the seeds, inside the core, after dried in the sun, after dried grind it, with the machine to make tablea or dark chocolate, it best to make champorado or chocolate rice porridge.

[@adax504]

How I wish we have more Rusdian tourist. They are a kind people.. They don't often smile, but they are nice people.

[@ValentinaLovingPhilippines]

[@quadkon3577]

A Monitor Lizard seen at 9:03. It's fortunate that you let it go back into its natural habitat, as Monitor Lizards have a tendency to hunt and feed on chickens. By 11:03, the topic shifted to Cacao (pronounced as Kakao in Filipino), which is actually pronounced as kuh-key-oh or Kakeyoh in English. Despite this, many continue to pronounce it the way it is spelled. At 16:49, another widely known root crop in the Philippines was discussed, known as Taro in English or Gabi in Cebuano.

[@ValentinaLovingPhilippines]

how you Filipinos cook Taro?

[@JonasBrizuela-u5h]

Gabi in bicol also. The root we sometimes put in sinigang soup. Makes the broth a little thicker. Delicious. We also put it in our desert called ginataan, sweet coconut milk with jackfruit, sweet potatoes, tapioca pearls, gluttenous rices balls we call bilo-bilo. Also taro leaves is the main ingredient in coconut milk based "laing" also very yummy. Hope you can try them.
