This episode made me realize how much I miss being a proud Kapampangan, especially since I am currently far away from my hometown. I miss the food that I grew up with and the memories that come with it. It's difficult to be away from my family and friends, but the thought of not being able to enjoy my favorite dishes whenever I want is what really makes me teary-eyed.

[@featrmedia]

Thanks for watching!

[@n2kois]

Honestly, this brought tears to my eyes.... Growing up and poor as a child in Pampanga, the first two dishes were staple in our household. Now that I've been living here in the U.S. for over 40 years, it makes me appreciate and proud of where i came from... There's still no place like The Philippines.

[@macecilemacaspac1712]

This spells nostalgia for me. You may not get million views all the time but please keep on making contents like this. This is what this platform should be used! Kudos to you Erwan and your whole team! We are living in the US now but i will for sure let my 9 year old boy watch this video so he knows his roots!

[@zamvorga]

Commendable work by your team to give us a glimpse about the life of aetas. It is important to bring awareness and help preserve their ancestral domain and culture. Truly, it is noteworthy that your channel features the indigenous group of people living in the mountains of the Philippines.

[@lovelyjanemartinez2650]

Ang mga katutubo ay nagpapahalaga yan sa kalikasan....sila ang isa sa kayamanan ng pilipinas talaga...saludo ako sa kanila😚😙goodhealth and godbless po😚

#Proud Kapampangan Kapampangan ku Pagmaragul ku❤❤❤ Born and raised.. Miss the Food and the Family eating together❤

[@kehaulani1140]

I’ve been in the US for 44 years and I still remember the taste of my mom, sisters and aunts cooking. For example, I only eat dinuguan when it’s cooked at home. The diniguan or “tidtad” that I ate growing up is not like how Filipinos cook it here. I don’t like the “dark” broth. Dinuguan among kapangpangan has lighter broth. Same with tocino! Our tocino is a bit sweet and sour, we call it”pindang” usually made from carabao’s meat. Even the simple dish of pinakbet, I like mine with the tops or the young leaves of sweet potatoes. 😋😋. Now I’m salivating.

[@cristianjetomo5884]

first few mins already uplift my Filipino cultural appreciation. Great work Featr!

[@mothersonsvlog8208]

Actually masarap talaga magluto ang mga kapangpangan kasi complete ingredients ang nilalagay nila at may kasamang love, yung talagang maganda ang luto, thank you for sharing Erwan

[@miss.ria.b]

aeta culture ❤

[@betanpc8210]

this the best filipino culinary channel ever

[@nicoleeee1728]

I appreciate the effort of your team to really go to the actual situation of the kapampangan’s raw & daily life❤ seeing this, maaapreciate mo talaga ang effort ng pag gawa sa pagkain. Plus walang kaarte arte si erwan. makes me miss back home 😢 more power to this chanel ❤

[@jompermejo5359]

Thanks, Sir Erwan, for this video. I'm not very good at cooking, but I like eating. By the way, the Nanay from Aeta is full of wisdom. Thank you for featuring her. All the best to your show! :)

[@DinaAbdullahEnriquez-jl2oz]

She's so adorable! Thank you for keeping the authentic dishes alive, Erwan.

[@drg0301]

Although being true blood kapampangan, I was once hate to eat buro and mustasa when I was a kid, but as I mature, I somewhat developed of what kapampangan acquired taste and pride of being one. I am with Sir Claude Tayag, that Buro and Mustasa paired with grilled fish is one of the unique dishes of Pampanga.. Luid ka Pampanga! Thank you FEATR for the docu series of our proud and beloved province and be it known again for the whole world to see.. ❤

[@senaritaluzon2365]

Thank you FEATR for this❤ And as for PAMPANGA, it is the food that binds our past to our present. Our forefathers, grandparents worked so hard to formulate and perfect every dish we are enjoying today. To the future Capampangans may you continue to pass on the legacy and strive harder to produce new dishes and make our Pampanga and the whole country Phils proud❤

[@biancamariebalaba6149]

The aeta lady speaks well.... She narrate her story well.... proud of u maam.... Napaka sipag po ninyo....

[@tippyism25]

“Dagdagan na natin kasi para magdala kayo.” ❤ how we all get cared for - if not spoiled - by our loving inangs and amangs. Salamat, Featr, for putting the spotlight on Philippine culture and heritage. Salamat! 🙏

[@anaportiabanalcarza]

Passion for cooking is inherently embedded in the hearts of the Kapampangans! Proud to be Kapampangan and I inherited my Indu's meticulous and traditional way of Kapampangan cooking!

[@aqua_11108]

Love the 73 years young intro.❤

[@mvrielly]

loving this channel more and more! being educated in this makes me miss Philippines even more!

[@dailylife_and_adventure]

Nakagagalak at nakakaantig sa puso ang ganitong klaseng bidyo.Totoong mayaman sa kultura ang ating bansa.Kakikitaan ng pagiging malikhain sa iba't ibang gawa na sana'y patuloy pang pagyamanin at pahalagahan ang yamang kinagisnan. Patuloy na pakamahalin ❤ Huwag kalimutan ang kultura. Gng. Susan Alvaro de Leon

[@vickychanjapanjapan1357]

Watching , thank for sharing ang sarap ng pag kain sa bundok

[@jgaragemotovlog3614]

"Huwag mo kalimutan yung kultura". - ( aeta) It makes me goosebumps.

[@minettravels9501]

Ang galing mo, Erwan!! You don't just feature the "food" but also "where and how" it originated from our forefathers (ninuno). The simplicity and resiliency of Filipinos back in the time where modernization was farfetched. Thank you for this amazing content!!

[@elmamccallister6954]

Proud to be kapampangan ❤ miss lahat ng foods. Thank you Erwan for sharing this!

[@analeemalabanan6280]

After watching your “short film”about different cuisines from different provinces or parts of the Philippines I became more picky on foods that I will eat I ate less fast foods mashed pinupuntahan ko yung mga small carinderya,kinakausap ko ying sino nagluluto getting the history of their certain specialties etc..para sa akin mas masarap yung pagkain kapag alam mo na young kusinero talagang passion nya yung nilluluto nya na minana pa nya sa lolo or lola yung recipe mas aware ako ngayon na alamin yung history ng certain food para sa akin mas masarap yung pagkain na kinakain ko kahit simpleng gulay at isda lang yan o kahit simpleng sawsawan nga lang pero alam mo na yung recipe eh original at minana pa nila good job kayo!!! More food vlogs and history pa!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@lmdeboom]

The Aetas have the healthiest diet. Now that I have switched to a Whole-Food Plant-Based Diet, I appreciate their cuisine more. The Aeta woman seems vigorous.

[@eyds2215]

I miss my home province. I miss family. The food. Friends. Videos like this quench my longingness. Thank you FEATR.

[@rosiesaenz7956]

Erwan Heussaff you are indeed the Anthony Bourdain of the Philippines!

[@guythatlovespotato]

Di ako Kapampangan pero karamihan ng mga kaibigan ko Kapampangan, madalas ako nagpupunta sa kanila tuwing may mga okasyon. Dahil dito mas na-appreciate ko yung cuisine nila at hospitality.

[@norevicmaghinay6522]

I really love when you feature the different provinces/town in the philippines.even thou we haven't been there it makes us look forward to be there one day and experience Thier rich food history.for us living abroad it makes us look forward to go home one day because the Philippines would always be home no matter what.kudos featr and Erwan for this.looking forward to seeing more of this contents ❤❤

[@pennylane4169]

Miss ko na ang pritong hito with burong hipon!

[@anaportiabanalcarza]

Cheese pandesal was originally introduced by Apung Diung of Guagua in1992. It became popular and other bakeries copy its cheese pandesal because Apung Diung's pandesal was so delicious then.

[@Fckvloggers]

It’s amazing to see how Siera Madre ethnic dwellers have very similar food but I find the Aetas are more delicate and creative in their dishes. Dumagats I met would just boil Kamote (root crops they find in the forest) and eat them. This is inspiring. Makes me think about visiting our local Agtas and learn their ways even deeper.

[@RonAllanQuimado]

Thanks Erwan for doing this! Ruston is a revelation!

[@oliviaedralin1436]

Wow. Another awesome content!!! We really love cultural documentaries like these. So refreshing, so relaxing too, most of all fascinating to learn the rich diversity of Philippine food culture! Thank you again for your hard work.

[@wengapi1558]

thank you for this very good episode. i miss Philippines. Definitely will share this with my kids and grandkids, as my father is pure kapampangan too. Well appreciated. Good job.

[@margep2821]

I love what you do Erwann and team. Thank you for featuring the richness of our culture. Sana mafeature mo ang Gensan sa sunod. God bless

That Buro hipon is LIT man. I tasted it first time in pangasinan but it was from pampanga. Now, I need to buy few bottle before. Going back to work here in HK.

[@ayrasanmiguel9363]

EYY I LOVE THIS! THANK YOU SP MUCH FOR SHOWCASING OUR CUISINE ❤😮🎉

[@janetmanio8732]

Filipinos are very hospitable people and when it comes to guest I don’t agree that only Kapampangan are all out in serving food for guest but the whole nation is in general I’m from pampnga anyway.

[@nopenopenopenope4076]

Na miss ko tuloy tumira sa Pampanga.

[@miacorsiga]

I really like what nanay said na nakapag aral man o hindi, wag agawin ang lupa sa mga aeta

[@JanelleCruz-sj6ij]

One of the best content. I like how you emphasize the way of living of my fellow kapampangan esp the Aeta’s culture. More of like this content. Kudos erwan❤

[@YOURRACHINAPRIL]

WOW. PLEASE FEATURE TARLAC TOO! 😭🙏🇵🇭🤟

[@chelinemagsano6185]

Thank you for showing this gem.

[@chinovillanueva6127]

Thank you for this

[@jenniferg2840]

Ang ganda ng episode na to!!!

[@mln7771]

So I'm a Filipino but grew up in Canada. Filipinos, I notice, have a distinct love for brioche style breads (rich, soft and sweet). Also the sweet breads and desserts with cheese is another cultural taste of love of sweet and salty in breads and pastries. Being raised away from my native culture, I did not acquire this preference, which I find really interesting. Any way, this program is a source of cultural education for me, a Filipino stranded from her culture. I'm grateful to the FEATR team for your content.

[@10heads7dragons]

We love you, Lola Precy!!! Long life to you Lola!!!

[@ElviraSongalla]

I appreciate Sir Erwan for the team and appreciate the best in Pampanga delicacies condiment

Im a Kapampangan OFW. Missing home while watching this. Kudos to Erwan and team.

[@senaritaluzon2365]

The Capampangan Pride❤ As they say we Pampangans are highly opinionated. Whether it be food, the clothes we wear, or that house that we live in, or the achievement in the family, we are more than glad to tell that story to other people. It may sound mayabang to others & to non pampangans but for us it is simply sharing the experience in a form of story without any of that humble bragging..

[@benitacanlapan4827]

I’ve seen it!🎉

[@lyndondedios4137]

Wapen, totally agree! Ali tamu mayabang rather we take time in preparing food and other stuffs

[@Patrol08]

Ang galing ng pagiisip ni nanay at ang mga paliwanag, talo pa ang mga polpolitiko na nakapag aral pero pangsarili lang ang iniisip,bilib ako sa ganito mga tao na simply lang ang pamumuhay mairaos lang ang pang araw araw na my makain kuntento na ,samantalang ang mga naka position sa gobyerno, walang iniisip kundi mangurakot at payamanin ang sarili.

[@user-xk9xx5oe6z]

I am from Lubao Pampanga ,, its true that "burong paro is a comfort food in my table . With grilled tilapia or bangus. And a boiled eggplant and talbos ng kamote for side dish.. masarap, hinahanap hanap ng mga nagbabalikbayan at mga turista dito sa amin.. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@meelvis939]

God, I miss buro. My mom and dad used to make it when they were alive here in the US. My parents were both kapampangan (mom from Tarlac, Tarlac and dad from Guagua, Pampanga). Buro is very delicious with mustard leaves, eggplant, or ampalaya. However, don’t eat too much of it if you have hypertension since it is high in sodium.

[@geancarlocortez3356]

True, tagilo is our comfort food.

[@Neileesh]

As someone who grew up in Pampanga, I can vouch for Sir Jam Melchor when he said the whenever they have guests over they always cook for them instead of bringing them to a restaurant. When I was kid living in my lola’s house, whenever there is a celebration that calls for a “handaan”, my lola/titas would call up my other titas living in the barrio who are good cooks to help us prepare the food for the handaan and everything is made from scratch. It has always been like that everything prepared at our home for our guests :)

[@elmerangelcarlos1533]

@15:49 to FEATR Team: "pusit" in kapampangan roughly translates to squeeze or push out or flush out. Not "clean" as what the cc says. jsyk guys. Great documentary!
