Secrets of AWARD WINNING FILIPINO ICE CREAM! Laguna Dairy Farm Tour (Philippines President Grandson)

AWARD WINNING PREMIUM ICE CREAM. And Carmen's Best is very, very good, as those who have watched me for a while will know!
And the owner, Paco Magsaysay, is not only a good friend, but also the grandson of former President Ramon Magsaysay, who was elected in 1953 and held office until his unfortunate death in a plane crash in 1957.
Today, I go to the Magsaysay dairy farm in Bay, Laguna, and see what the secrets of award winning ice cream are!
Then, we go to probably the best restaurant I have ever been to, Chef Pablo's Kantina in Calaca, Batangas. What a surprise, incredible Basque food in a small town, from the former Executive Chef of Donosti!
To finish the day - dusk at Tagaytay, looking over Taal Lake - what a great way to end the day!

I remember when President Ramon Magsaysay died in a plane crash. The whole country mourned. He was much loved by the people. Crowds lined the streets of Manila to bid him farewell. My father carried me on his shoulder.

[@darrensmith7902]

As a person who was born and raised on a dairy farm in Australia 🇦🇺 it was great to see how they do things in my wife's country, you have done a great job in promoting this.

[@maffisakuraba1805]

[@gaufrid1956]

Kumander, one of my late dad's uncles was a dairy farmer in the Upper Hunter Valley in New South Wales Australia. I remember we visited his farm often when I was very young. At five years old I almost got run over by rail cart carrying heavy milk containers. Like the cows there in Laguna, his cows were also black and white Friesians. I remember that my "Uncle Wal" as we called him was a veteran of both the North Africa campaign and the Kokoda Track in World War Two. His wife, "Auntie Bess" made the best ice cream I have ever tasted! Chef Pablo's food made me really really hungry!

[@KumanderDaot]

I love stories like these! How big was the rail cart?

[@gaufrid1956]

@@KumanderDaot Big enough to carry the morning's lot of full milk containers, which were quite heavy and made of metal. The cart ran down a rail from the dairy shed to the front gate of the farm and stopped there. It was certainly heavy enough to have caused me a lot of damage. I don't remember exactly whether I avoided it myself, or whether maybe my dad pulled me out of the way. Dad's uncle was Wallace Standen. His farm was near Gloucester in the Upper Hunter Valley. I understand the Standen family emigrated to Australia in 1839 from Sussex, and held land in the Gloucester area for many generations. There is still a road there called "Standen's Lane". Auntie Bess' ice cream was just plain ice cream, but it was so good!

[@leticiachiok8057]

Thanks, Kumander Daot, for this informative vid. Will surely switch to Carmen's Ice Cream. So amused knowing about its production...fantastic. Looking forward more of your new finds and farm tours.

[@doogohng]

Wow KD, I'm Proud of you! KD's Friend Paco. Hey Kulas, Eat Your Heart Out. That is the best dairy Products for me from now on.

[@rhonald7363]

I really love this grandson, he’s a very humble guy...ohhhh I will surely visit Carmens at Rockwell in the future

[@JohnSmith-bz9be]

That dairy operation was first class and could easily hold its own back in the west, especially with its vision. How interesting about your friend as I have been researching the Korean War and the Philippine President at the time gave a powerful speech for his newly formed country and I could have just been watching his grandson here. I am approving your appication and use of narration, as it does aid the overall video and is not overwhelming it, personally for me, your occasional observations about stuff from your perspective is interesting as this is all still your adventures. Good job!

Want to see a GOOD dairy ,, take a look at what Vietnam did several years ago.

I never knew there's a local, small business ice cream in the Philippines. Definitely need to visit their shop at Rockwell. Thank you for great info and tour of the cows and manufacturing ice cream!

[@therainbow488]

KD, I must tell you that your vlogs are getting better and better each new vlogs. When you're featuring something, you feature it with professionalism. As I said before I like the way you narrate it kind of like National Geographic documentary. You're vlogs have good contents.

[@KumanderDaot]

Really appreciate it!

[@RDLACHICA]

Agree. The quality of story telling is really good. Plus the soundtrack haha always fitting!

[@bambi3489]

[@michaelchin8749]

You have show us that Carmen brand ice cream is the best in the Philippines, your chubby finger is the favorite of the young cow. The Spanish food you enjoyed looks very enticing. This vlog is educational and there is Spanish food you enjoy outside Manila. On your return trip to Manila, bring the whole family along and let them enjoy what you have tried. Be safe.

I hope the Basque influence to the Philippines is explored more by historians/documentaries.

I'd love to see locally made youghurt in the Phil's. local store. Plain youghurt without artificial sweeteners. Healthy for the gut. Amazing foods in that restaurant! ♥️

[@ohcrapwhatsnext]

Fantastic learning video...made for all people to view... I grew up on a 300 acre, 150 milking head farm, I know that its plenty of work and i appreciate their work.... Super awesome compilation... Of course there are studies regarding pros and cons of cows milk. Like skin problems for example: acne and others. Many are intolerant gastrically speaking. I stopped drinking cows milk about 17 years of age and i am glad i did. I have no problems with cottage cheese now and then.. I believe anything in moderation is acceptable to the body, and the more organic the better...

[@josiecajarte1491]

[@atlantafan1156]

Can’t wait to try that ice- cream! Video brought memories of growing up in a cattle(beef) and coconut plantation in Davao. Fresh dairy was not available at that time. Milk came as powdered ( great ingredient for polvoron) or canned. At times, we were lucky when someone gave my father fresh cheese wrapped in banana leaves made from carabao milk. Remembered my visit to the first dairy in Davao called SODACO. Don’t know it’s still there. It was fascinating to watch mechanized milking of the cow. Food in that Basque restaurant looks amazing! Thanks for sharing. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Keep doing what you’re doing. Wonder what percentage of the Filipino population are lactose intolerant.

Great video. Great to see the process. Nice to promote. Chef Pablo's food looked delicious. Thank you for sharing. Have a great week.

Hi Anselm, this was well done content. Engaging, real and you took us through a story which kept on building from the ice cream to the farm, the owner and his story and to Chef Pablo Spanish restaurant .

I cannot wait to taste this dreamy ice cream. Thank you! You are a natural in film making -man’s telling stories.

You can get an idea on the style of business you just visited and apply to you're fishing pond.. since you are already producing the raw materials maybe you can process the fish and make it to dating or other fish product then sell it.. since you produce the raw materials you can sell the product in much affordable price..
