I Went To Philippines Most Controversial Event 🇵🇭

in today's video we will attend an event  here in mindanao in southern Philippines   that is quite controversial and I was also not  sure if I really want to see it this is hard   to watch for me we will also explore around  with crishel, see some beautiful spots and   try to avoid the police your mom just called and  they warned us that there's a police checkpoint   since this is my last day in the province I  will invite chisel's whole family for dinner   where I saw something very interesting on  the menu pizzaghetti what's that pizza with   spaghetti yeah let's experience more Village  Life here in the Philippines feel free to join okay we are trying to find gasoline which  might be difficult in a small village like this   she also has no idea and she's a local around  here yeah there a bit difficult to drive here   you can see the road condition here so  we have to drive actually very slowly and   careful oh look at this we have some  ducks bathing here oh it looks funny but what does he say one yeah oh that looks  good oh let's see I see the gasoline bottle   already the Coca-Cola bottle maybe one bottle uh  it's pretty empty almost at zero almost at zero   yeah yeah so we have the Coca-Cola gasoline here  so let's get gasoline from the Coca-Cola bottle   here very typical in The Villages not only on the  Philippines also all around southeast Asia you   can find shops like this in the Villages selling  yeah usually it's old liquor bottles or Coca-Cola   bottles filled with gasoline all right so I'm not  spilling everything now I think this is a small   tank actually so maybe two two would be enough oh  she has half a bottle here oh perfect let's see   how full this tank is going to be after this yeah  there are no proper gas stations around here so   that's what you have to do here in these areas  I think that's okay probably not totally full   but I think enough for now okay how much is it Ma  100 100 okay much thank you very much and that's   how you get gasoline here in the village in the  Philippines actually looks quite beautiful we are   still surrounded by plenty of coconut trees here  and then we have a few houses here and there some   shops on the right on the left Tuk Tok driving  around here probably the local Village Taxi very   Lively here very nice he's learning how to drive  the motorbike now he's 15 years old and this   is one of his first rides that's his dad yeah I  think so the dad is teaching him looks all right a   little bit shaky but that's all right what age do  you learn to drive here usually um you're allowed   to drive 18 but 18 but I see many people in The  Villages here driving with younger age right yeah yeah hello hello so this is the river that we usually swim before  when I was like 7 years old so you went swimming   here when you were younger yeah mostly that area  okay let's let's have a look actually the water   looks pretty clean like fresh water here oh yeah  check it out the water actually looks pretty good   pretty refreshing oh actually it's pretty high  up here so we can test it out oh this is nice   actually oh this is really nice we also do fishing  here sometimes fishing electric fishing electric   fishing yeah what is electric fishing like  there's electric and then for example if there's   fish nearby they're going to die oh so you set the  water with uh electric electric electroshocks and   then the fish die and then you can just collect  them yeah sounds sounds is the easy way of fishing   this is what where we slide down you used to slide  down here yeah yeah oh this looks fun actually oh   so this is another swimming spot here so you can  go swimming here slide down here and then just   have to be careful that the current is not pushing  you away and yeah by the way guys I recently   released my Philippines travor guide eBook  The Book is Full with useful information about   traveling in the Philippines how to get around  the country how to find the best hotel deals a   full breakdown of my average cost of living here  and the core of the book is my personal collection   of over 100 Google Maps links to locations all  over the country every hotel that I have been   to that I can recommend every restaurant  viewpoints markets hidden jams motorbike   rental shops and so on all the places that I  personally have visited that I can recommend   are linked in the book If you would like to check  out the book there's a link in the description we have arrived at your cousin's house yes your  cousin Hello nice to meet you hello from father's   so they harvesting sweet potatoes here yeah so  there's like a potato underneath it I'll show   you yeah I like this one yeah sweet potato okay  so this is what we are having here sweet potatoes   like this and I guess she's digging them out  and then collecting them and then the horse is   probably helping to carry it how many kilos she  has already six 6 kilos that's just from today   and then she sells them to a market yeah how  much she gets for 1 kilo 30 pesos 30 pesos per kilo oh she has to search for it yeah search for  the oh there we go there's one oh it's a small   one cute Sal nice to meet you okay bye-bye bye-bye  so they're having two houses here basically in the   middle of uh all the coconut trees here all the  the fields from where they're harvesting something   I don't know like half an hour or so from the next  small village and you you saw the road condition   here so it's not that easy accessible here sigy  sigy what is sigy sigy sigy byee sigy sigy bye-bye   okay okay okay so we're leaving with 3 kilo of  sweet potatoes yes all right looks like we found   the Viewpoint so let's uh climb up the name is  Mech view Hill so as you know she's also a vlogger   but she's a little bit shy to a vlog in front of  me so she told me to go ahead go ahead and now   she's want to she want to start filming down there  as well she's a bit shy but yeah she also has a   YouTube channel Filipina life you can check it out  as well but actually I think it's not really far   it's not even 5 minutes I think looks more like 2  minutes and now she said wait for me wait for me   so now you're not shy anymore to Vlog next to me hi hello hello it's not that far anymore  I think this is the end already here oh and I   think this was worth it nice this is a mushroom  a mushroom the mushroom in Amsterdam looks like   and the how they are you okay to talk you want  to sit down for a minute you seem to be very out   of breath so make View hilts and yeah the view  here is like this you can actually see pretty   far from here some hills in the background some  dark looking clouds over there I guess it's going   to rain later again as it has to pass days every  day I have to say the province here is actually   also pretty beautiful I really enjoy just riding  around here with the motorbike and then enjoying   views like this it's so green everywhere  here you have thousands of coconut trees okay funny thing her mom just called and they  warned us that there's a police checkpoint which   we can actually see from here it's basically  around the corner up there there's a police   checkpoint and we can't drive through  there now because she forgot to bring   her helmet today and uh yeah in case you're  wondering I would give her this helmet but   she actually doesn't want the helmet and this  one is also too big for her so yeah we are on   the way to another location now and yeah the  police check one is over there she's talking   with her dad or her mom now but I see other  people also with no helmet here see there's   a guy or actually two with no helmet oh I  think he's also stopping because he saw the checkpoint I'm wondering because most of the  days yeah I see most people with no helmets but   actually you have to wear one um yeah you have  to wear one but as long as there's no police   checkpoint people don't really care right yes yeah  there's again two girls with no helmet seems like   nobody's wearing helmets here but yeah they also  they're going to right way maybe we can do that   also I mean what's the the fine if they caught  you without a helmet I think 3,000 P 3,000 pesos   yeah oh that's pretty expensive maybe uh you can  walk until around the corner I can drive and then   we meet around the corner oh maybe it's funny to  see everyone who is driving here with no helmet as   soon as they see the police they are all stopping  here I think they are waiting here now everyone is   trying to avoid the police oh yeah he's checking  for the police police police police so we are not   the only ones trying to avoid the police oh we all  have 3,000 PES seems to be a very high fine for   for the locals here so I can really understand why  they want to avoid that fine but then also why not   just wear a helmet right you should not just wear  helmet for the police also for your own safety   okay so we have the tricycle guys over there and  they're actually just shouting that we are good   to go the guy over here is leaving now but uh yeah  I think it's only two policemen polic because two   policemen are walking away now oh but they are  still there there's two policemen in that area   and there's two are we're we're good to go in this  side we want to take the turn there right the turn   left okay is everyone leaving now yes everyone  are you sure it's the risk is for you for you   okay okay okay let's go you want to go all right  okay I think we're good to go okay are you sure okay okay these are the tricycle drivers that  were helpful hello hello okay so we are taking   a turn here and the police guys are somewhere  over there oh we're reping the police here in   the village okay we are at a pizza place now let's  see what Philippine Village Pizza is like and yeah   I'm actually going to invite the whole family of  Cal because yeah the past days they have been very   inviting to me very hospitable and today is my  last day here tomorrow I'm leaving again so I'm   going to invite the whole family for yeah some  pizza now or whatever they would like to have   oh that's interesting they write fer here we know  fer is German what does that mean then for cheese   for cheese yeah but I'm surprised to read German  here fer yeah this means for cheese is the owner   German here noino pizzetti what's that pizza  with spaghetti yeah oh that sounds interesting   the family has arrived hello hello helloo so  now we waited because I didn't want to choose   for them obvious L I don't know what they like so  let's get menus here so we can choose okay we're   writing down the orders here so everyone choose  something and then yeah I'm also going to order   the pizzaghetti because I'm very curious how  spaghetti and pizza combined will look like so   we're definitely going to have that we're going  to have a family Hawaii Pizza Seas sake Lomi a   whole fried chicken rice and some drinks okay  the food is being served we have a lot of rice   we have a huge bowl of chicken soup here we have  seas we had to replace one Seas with the chicken   wings ah this is the spaghetti pizza oh yeah it  is literally just pizza with spaghetti on top and   with a tomato sauce I think and then we have the  second pizza over there the big one pineapple on   Pizza some people love it some people hate it some  people say even it's a sin to put pineapple on   pizza so I hope everyone enjoys the meal now can  you translate that I'm very thankful for the past   days and they have been so hospitable at time and  welcoming all right let's try spaghetti Pizza yeah   it's literally just pizza dough with spaghetti on  top I think it's actually easier to eat it with   the knife and pork spaghetti are adding a lot of  weight okay my first time trying spaghetti Pizza   it's a funny combination I like it it's good yeah  I like spaghetti I like pizza but I never had this   combination before very interesting is that common  Pizza in the Philippines or just for this place   just for this flavor here have you tried spaghetti  pizza before let me know in the comments yeah I'm   actually curious to try the the noodle soup it's  actually very similar to a chicken soup you also   have in [Music] Germany I have to say also The  Taste is similar not exactly the same but similar   oh I like it a lot it's a little bit thicker  than a regular soup I would say and then there's   chicken inside noodles this is egg I think this  egg yeah that's egg egg right some vegetables this   one I always have this because this like a big  bowl and then this not your first time trying this   okay that was my thought I actually think out  of all the things we're having here the noodle   suit is actually my favorite already my second  bow now okay everyone is full now but we do have   some pizza and some soup left so uh you can take  it for takeaway and later right yeah yeah yeah   okay 1,860 okay Sal thank you very much okay it  is a Sunday afternoon here in the province and   there's an event going on which I'm actually not  sure if I'm allowed to film this on YouTube but   guess we will find out and it has something to  do with chickens and I'm actually not sure if I   really want to see it but the one side of me is  also curious to see it because it is a popular   uh thing to do here in the Philippines in the  provinces okay and I guess the sign says you're   only allowed to enter when you're 18 years old  yeah I'm 18 right so no entrance if you are not   at least 18 years old hello hello oh it seems like  a big arena here and a lot of people are here this   is a big event here right I think so yeah every  Sunday I'm not sure every Sunday yeah okay let's see hello hello I want I like like to see you see yeah yeah  you bit you bit bet no I don't want to bet I just   want to see oh he was asking right away if I want  to bet okay let's see what's going on here oh so many to sit down here oh okay  I'm being up front here okay okay okay so far it's fun here I'm  actually not sure if I want to see   the fight but uh the whole experience here  is actually very interesting for me you can   see how many people are here it is very  something very popular here oh I'm a bit overwhelmed what's your name Ken where  did you come from Germany Germany Germany   yeah okay so the announcer is talking  about me everyone is looking at me over guys what is this one with FL banana  okay can I buy five here and five here   I want to buy from both okay let's buy from both of  them 5 but you can change yeah five and who want you want banana banana you want banana you want one I can buy one for you okay  okay okay you okay thank you very much one okay TR banana you want to sit here see they're red at the there's a  blade they're going chick have blade   on [Music] their something is happening [Applause] [Applause]   okay she just said the people are shouting  what I want to bet and now the actual fight obviously I I don't want to and I cannot film what  is happening now but it's basically the both of   the chickens have a have a sharp knife attached  to their feet and they are fighting each other now wow yeah the one chicken just died this is tough to watch I'm not judging the people  here for having this as a form of entertainment it   is a tradition all over the Philippines so I'm  definitely not judging anyone here but I have   to admit this is coming from from Germany this  is hard to watch for me I know some of you will   find this very cruel some of you will find this  normal it depends where you're coming from and   with what culture you grew up right all right  that was an experience that was an experience   I'm a little bit out of words now I don't really  know how to summarize my feelings about this but   uh yeah I just tried to explain my feelings  already inside maybe it was too noisy so uh   yeah what I what I think about this is from my  perspective this was something cruel to watch   and I don't really like watching this to be  honest but I can also understand the people   here because this it's just a different culture  it is tradition here it is part of the culture   here this is going on all over the Philippines  also in other Asian countries by the way so not   only in the Philippines so it depends how you  grew up with what traditions and cultures and   Views you drew up so I can understand everyone  that finds this is not a form of entertainment   but I can also understand the people here for  who this is a form of entertainment what are   your thoughts about this um I mean I can't change  the way they think right you can't change the way   they think it's just if you're not um into that  kind of situation just don't join them yeah yeah   that's it I mean I was just curious to see this  because I've never seen this before and I mean the   whole event going around it it was interesting  the people were in good mood there was a good   atmosphere you can buy food so the whole event  around it seems to be very fun just the actual   Main Event not really you want banana okay thank  you oh no problem let's uh do something else and   if you are curious to see the first video of me  arriving here in the province then feel free to   check it out right here stay healthy stay positive  and then see you on the next episode ciao guys
