We celebrated my dad’s birthday at this beautiful resort in our island! #filipinoforward. 🇵🇭🤙🏽
01:43.0
You have an ocean view.
01:47.0
You have the view of the ocean from your balcony.
01:52.0
I don't know how we became a couple.
01:54.0
We should have been together.
01:56.0
Yes, we should have been together.
01:58.0
You will see later that around is our resident recap. They are always there.
02:06.0
Do you have this?
02:07.0
I don't. Ah, maybe I do. Wait.
02:23.0
Your bed is nice.
02:28.0
Welcome to your room.
02:29.0
Thank you. What is your name, sir?
02:31.0
I'm Jay. I'm the security manager.
02:33.0
Oh, hi, Jay. Thank you.
02:35.0
Thank you, ma'am.
02:36.0
I know you, Jay. You're from Ilonggos.
02:39.0
Where are you from, Jay?
02:41.0
I'm from Basilan, sir.
02:42.0
Ah, Basilan, Mindanao.
02:45.0
So, Bisaya. What is your name?
02:49.0
So, this is your room, sir.
02:51.0
If you want to lock it, just press this.
02:55.0
So that it will be locked.
02:56.0
But unlock it so that we can see the...
03:00.0
So, this is the view of the ocean.
03:06.0
This is what I see in magazines.
03:23.0
See you at the contest.
03:29.0
The bathroom is beautiful.
03:35.0
Babe, the bathroom is beautiful.
03:48.0
Happy birthday, Dad.
03:51.0
It's my dad's birthday.
03:53.0
And my mom is already wearing red.
03:55.0
Oh, she's not yet wearing red.
03:57.0
I'm already wearing red.
03:58.0
Oh, Camila is already wearing red.
04:00.0
I have only two red shirts.
04:02.0
One is for now, one is for later.
04:06.0
Good morning, sir.
04:07.0
Are you from here?
04:10.0
Oh, you're from Manila.
04:13.0
Do you know how to speak Ilongo?
04:15.0
I can understand a little.
04:19.0
Get in the back first.
04:28.0
Okay, I'll sit in front.
04:36.0
She wants to walk.
04:38.0
Okay, walk the mountain.
04:49.0
Yes, it's beautiful.
05:09.0
And let's go check out this egg station.
05:15.0
This is called Langgaw.
05:29.0
I had a nightmare.
05:32.0
Did you have a nightmare?
05:34.0
Did you have a nightmare?
05:36.0
Yeah, it was a bad dream.
05:38.0
So, we're going on a boat ride here in Negros Island.
05:43.0
Last time I was here, it was like 20 years ago.
05:48.0
We went on a boat ride.
05:52.0
We were on a big boat with a kitchen and a bed.
05:57.0
We were there for like 4 or 5 days.
05:59.0
Then, we went around here.
06:02.0
So, that was like, again, 20 years ago.
06:06.0
And now, being here with my family is pretty cool.
06:12.0
Being here with my family and my wife is super cool.
06:16.0
Because last time, when I was on the boat, I was really single.
06:19.0
And we had a lot of girls with us.
06:21.0
But it was really sad.
06:24.0
Because everything was...
06:27.0
What I did was just cook.
06:29.0
And the others, they got along, I guess.
06:32.0
So, we were left in the kitchen.
06:35.0
So, being here again with my wife on the boat here in Sipalay.
06:40.0
It's like, we're okay.
06:43.0
And of course, my family is here.
06:45.0
This is my dad's birthday.
06:49.0
Okay, I'll show you the boat.
06:51.0
It's already set up.
06:52.0
It has everything.
07:01.0
It's a small boat.
07:03.0
Their bigger boat isn't done yet.
07:07.0
Morning, morning.
07:11.0
This resort just opened a few months ago.
07:15.0
So, it's still new.
07:18.0
They're still fixing a lot of things.
07:22.0
There's a lot of potential.
07:26.0
But again, it takes time.
07:28.0
If an establishment is new, remember to give a little patience.
07:35.0
Or a lot of patience.
07:36.0
Because they're still not perfecting things.
07:40.0
The hardware is there.
07:42.0
But the service, the sequence, the logistics.
07:46.0
They're still fixing it.
07:50.0
I guess, as an F&B, I can understand.
07:54.0
But sometimes, when I'm the customer,
07:57.0
because I'm just a person, just a customer,
08:01.0
But then again, you need to be empathetic.
08:05.0
It's like you have a new child.
08:07.0
If they know how to walk,
08:11.0
they'll go straight.
08:12.0
Next thing you know, they'll run.
08:13.0
Next thing you know, they'll fly.
08:19.0
in a lot of people.
08:23.0
A lot of people have this kind of experience.
08:27.0
They have meetings.
08:29.0
They have meetings.
08:30.0
So, they're fixing it.
08:36.0
it's a beautiful place.
08:37.0
It's a beautiful place.
08:38.0
And I hope you guys can visit here soon.
09:02.0
If you can't walk, then don't.
09:18.0
Our butler is Ivor.
09:21.0
Is that right, Ivor?
09:23.0
Okay. You can't walk?
09:24.0
So, we're going to our first destination, sir,
09:26.0
which is the Tinagong Dagat.
09:29.0
So, you mean Tinago?
09:31.0
It's called Dagat.
09:37.0
Happy birthday to you.
09:41.0
Happy birthday to you.
09:45.0
Happy birthday to you.
09:57.0
they're private houses
10:01.0
And then, they have their own beach.
10:05.0
It's beautiful, isn't it?
10:17.0
There's a lot of water.
10:19.0
The water here in Manami,
10:23.0
there's a glass cleaner.
10:30.0
I just asked for water.
10:31.0
They gave me water with ice.
10:40.0
There's a lot of drinking water here.
10:47.0
This is what they call a service show.
10:55.0
Is that a service show?
10:58.0
Is that a service show?
11:01.0
For my birthday, right?
11:15.0
the name of the boat is Don Salvador.
11:22.0
It's so peaceful, right?
11:24.0
It's really nice.
11:28.0
we're energized by the water.
11:34.0
I'm gonna get some rest.
11:36.0
I hope I can still read.
11:39.0
And then, I'll cook in the kitchen
11:42.0
that's our birthday dinner
11:47.0
if you're not fond of the beach,
11:51.0
maybe we're not right now.
11:53.0
That's also my requirement.
12:02.0
What's your name?
12:05.0
Where are you from?
12:06.0
I'm from Ponte Vedra, sir.
12:10.0
how long have you been doing this?
12:12.0
I applied for this, sir,
12:16.0
And then, I started this in February.
12:19.0
So, you have an F&B background,
12:20.0
or are you an in-person?
12:22.0
I'm from Boracay.
12:25.0
you're in Ponte Vedra,
12:26.0
then you're in Boracay.
12:30.0
Okay, I'll be right there.
12:34.0
Let's take a bath first
12:47.0
it's not that far.
12:54.0
it's not that far, but
13:00.0
That's the helipad.
13:02.0
we'll just stay here.
13:26.0
Let's sit here first.
13:37.0
Enjoy your refreshment.
13:39.0
Food with cetronella.
13:40.0
Would you like to try it on your skin?
13:42.0
What's the other one?
13:43.0
This one is peppermint.
13:45.0
And this one is grapefruit with lavender.
13:47.0
Cetronella or lavender?
13:49.0
I don't want peppermint.
14:04.0
the reason why I like this place
14:06.0
is because it's so Filipino
14:08.0
but at the same time,
14:10.0
it's contemporary or modern
14:12.0
but it's very, very Filipino.
14:14.0
We really embraced
14:18.0
And it's beautiful, right?
14:23.0
it blended in with the place.
14:26.0
Look at that door.
14:27.0
Look at that ceiling.
14:31.0
So, I thought this was the spa.
14:34.0
This is just the reception area.
14:45.0
The second one is there.
14:47.0
Let's go to the second one.
14:49.0
Let's go upstairs.
14:50.0
Oh, let's go upstairs.
14:54.0
I thought it was a chapel.
15:10.0
This is the view on the top, sir.
15:17.0
I've never been massaged like this before.
15:19.0
On the top of the mountain.
15:23.0
Then, overlooking that.
15:31.0
Welcome to your cabana, sir.
15:37.0
Even the floor has foam.
15:41.0
And the view from the back.
15:45.0
I'm sure this view is not good.
15:48.0
Oh, it's not good.
15:58.0
What's your name, ma'am?
16:00.0
Ana. Are you from Ilonggo?
16:02.0
Are you from there?
16:03.0
I'm from Hinobaan.
16:09.0
So, they said we'll wash our feet first.
16:15.0
What's that scent? It smells so good.
16:18.0
It's lemongrass, sir.
16:21.0
Lemongrass. That's amazing.
16:38.0
I don't know, ma'am,
16:39.0
if I should massage the bottom or the top of the mountain.
16:44.0
I'm pinching myself
16:46.0
it's too good to be true.
16:50.0
Look down a little.
16:55.0
That's what you'll see.
17:07.0
Your legs are beautiful.
17:29.0
Recharged. Rejuvenated.
17:32.0
Ready to go to the kitchen.
17:46.0
We'll be here later.
17:48.0
Oh, it's not done yet?
17:53.0
So, just do that.
17:54.0
Ma'am, there's...
17:55.0
I have a follower, sir.
18:01.0
Oh, thank you, good.
18:02.0
Facebook and YouTube.
18:03.0
You're watching a video, sir?
18:05.0
I already posted it.
18:06.0
Oh, when it's out.
18:07.0
When it's out, sir.
18:08.0
Then, when it's over.
18:10.0
When it's over, sir.
18:24.0
Alright, I'm gonna go.
18:27.0
I'm gonna go inside the kitchen now.
18:29.0
We'll go in there.
18:33.0
We'll be there for three hours.
18:36.0
The F&B manager here.
18:43.0
F&B na F&B ang vibe.
18:45.0
How many years have you been in F&B?
18:57.0
You're just one year older than me.
19:00.0
This is Giro, sir.
19:02.0
Hello, hello, Giro.
19:04.0
Good afternoon, good afternoon.
19:19.0
Two high pressures,
19:25.0
Oh, pressure cooker.
19:33.0
Oh, you're from here?
19:38.0
Mostly from Bacolod?
19:39.0
Yes, I'm from Bacolod.
19:41.0
It's my first time cooking
19:42.0
in the whole Bacolod team.
19:44.0
He's following Yana.
19:46.0
I look like a fool
19:47.0
if I'm in a cell.
19:57.0
You're the pastry chef?
19:59.0
What's your name?
20:01.0
Oh, you're from Bacolod?
20:04.0
You're hardworking.
20:07.0
I'm just figuring out
20:08.0
what I'm going to do.
20:26.0
I hope he likes it.
20:39.0
what I'm going to do.
20:40.0
I don't want to be in a hurry.
20:41.0
I'm going to sleep
20:42.0
so I'm not going to rush.
20:43.0
I'm not going to rush.
20:47.0
I'm going to do it
20:48.0
as fast as I can.
20:52.0
So, do you have a bus?
20:54.0
We're on our way.
20:55.0
We're on our way.
21:03.0
It's like rubber.
21:35.0
What's your name?
22:00.0
This is the heart of Ubrata.
22:01.0
We know each other.
22:02.0
What's your name?
22:10.0
Thank you for letting me use your kitchen.
22:14.0
I just finished cooking
22:15.0
in their kitchen.
22:18.0
I'm a bit nervous
22:20.0
everyone is looking
22:23.0
it's a bit embarrassing
22:27.0
it's not delicious
22:30.0
their expectations.
22:36.0
you're a head chef
22:37.0
or you have a lot of experience.
22:39.0
you don't have a kitchen.
22:41.0
Everything is new.
22:58.0
Chef, this is not enough.
22:59.0
They said in one sauce,
23:00.0
Chef, there's not enough freshness.
23:01.0
There's not enough
23:04.0
So we added lemon.
23:06.0
It's getting better.
23:11.0
I'm not too happy
23:16.0
they don't like escabeche.
23:17.0
So I put all the tomatoes.
23:20.0
because I made a decision.
23:26.0
I guess that's the important thing.
23:28.0
When you cook for your family,
23:30.0
it's really the best effort.
23:33.0
you give everything,
23:36.0
that's your family.
23:40.0
as Fernando Aracama
23:41.0
would always say,
23:43.0
your family will always eat
23:45.0
whatever you cook.
23:47.0
Whether it's delicious or not,
23:49.0
they'll still eat it.
23:57.0
See you guys later.
24:02.0
Everyone's dressed up.
24:03.0
This is the head chef
24:11.0
And for the first time,
24:20.0
So keep it up, guys.
24:26.0
And then there's lechon.
24:28.0
Oh, we have lechon?
24:30.0
There's crispy inasal.
24:32.0
Sauce of the fish.
24:33.0
It's a soy mascovado.
24:38.0
The executive chef here.
24:40.0
And the chef from
24:43.0
They're already enjoying it.
24:44.0
I hope they'll like it.
25:10.0
After an hour and a half,
25:18.0
Normally, when it's a family
25:25.0
when I was courting her,
25:32.0
because I was trying so hard.
25:39.0
And my dad is still eating
26:21.0
Happy birthday, Dad.
26:23.0
Thank you, thank you, kid.
26:27.0
Thank you so much.
26:28.0
Thank you so much, Madam.
26:33.0
Ilonggo Food Forward.
