00:30.2
So this is the story.
00:31.7
Ang Balear, ang alam ko sa Balear, yung movie ni Ann Curtis
00:34.5
kung saan nanalo siya ng best actress.
00:37.2
Napanood ko yung movie na yan.
00:38.8
So it always got me curious about Balear.
00:41.5
So Robin said, dahil pupunta na rin naman kami sa North,
00:44.3
bisitahin namin ang Balear.
00:46.1
He asked me to message the wife of Senator Angara,
00:49.6
si Tootsie Tootsie, who happened to work in ABS before.
00:52.9
So it was easy for me to like talk to her.
00:54.7
And so I asked her,
00:55.5
saan ba maganda mag-stay in Balear?
00:58.8
She said, oh, you must stay at Costa Pacifica.
01:02.2
And Tootsie was right.
01:04.9
Super nice in Costa Pacifica.
01:07.7
The rooms are very clean and very spacious.
01:10.6
Before we get there, ikwento ko muna sa inyo.
01:13.0
So galing kami sa Pangasinan.
01:15.9
Tapos, rumating kami sa Aurora, Balear.
01:19.6
And this time, minute din namin yung mother-in-law ko
01:22.3
na galing naman sa Nueva Ecija
01:24.2
at naging meeting place.
01:25.5
Namin ang Aurora, Balear.
01:27.5
We stayed at Costa Pacifica.
01:29.4
When we got there, medyo gabi na.
01:31.4
It was just in time for dinner.
01:33.1
And they prepared a super feast for us.
01:37.4
Nagkaroon kami ng dinner by the bonfire.
01:40.0
And we had musicians.
01:41.1
Yung mga musicians na po yun,
01:42.7
mga surfers po yan,
01:44.5
na nakita ni Robin dun sa street.
01:47.4
Sabi niya, oh, sige, mamaya ang gabi.
01:50.3
Magtugtog kayo for us.
01:53.3
Yan ang ating entertainment.
01:55.5
Ito namin tonight is reggae.
01:57.5
🎵 There's no reason how the days 🎵
02:00.5
🎵 Kasit sa ilisya 🎵
02:05.5
🎵 Sa'yo sa tugtog, kabayaan 🎵
02:14.5
So while we were eating with the bonfire,
02:17.1
may mga tumutugtog with us.
02:19.1
🎵 Sa'yo sa tumutugtog, kabayaan 🎵
02:22.1
It was so memorable because my kids loved it.
02:26.3
Nakikidance-dance sila.
02:28.3
So ang specialty nila dito is yung pako.
02:31.3
They have the yummy pako salad.
02:32.3
And they also have pako spring rolls.
02:37.3
Pako spring rolls.
02:39.3
So may martilyo to.
02:50.3
And then we have chicken binakol.
02:55.3
Pako spring rolls.
02:56.3
Ang sarap ng food.
03:00.3
Si Robin pangalawang pako salad niya na yan.
03:02.3
Ang sarap ng beef.
03:04.3
Beef adobo belly.
03:07.3
Ang sarap din ng chicken binakol.
03:09.3
And then yung chicken inasal we also like.
03:11.3
Yung kids ko naman, they like the sinigang because they're using real tamarind.
03:15.3
So thumbs up ang restaurant dito sa Costa Pacifica.
03:19.3
They served our dessert which is churros.
03:22.3
But it's not your regular churros because
03:24.3
siket po dito sa Baler ay ang peanut butter.
03:28.3
So I'm gonna have for the first time the churros with the peanut butter.
03:38.3
Ito request ni Robin.
03:40.3
Maraming salamat masarap po.
03:42.3
Eight hours later.
03:43.3
There's a delicious breakfast buffet.
03:47.3
Oh my gosh the food super sarap.
03:50.3
We're having breakfast today in Costa Pacifica.
03:53.3
And let me show you.
03:54.3
They have an extensive buffet.
03:57.3
Breakfast buffet.
03:59.3
There's sliced fruits.
04:01.3
Yummy oh my gosh.
04:02.3
I love overnight oats.
04:04.3
Meron pang suman.
04:06.3
Ako gusto yan ni Robin suman.
04:08.3
With cocoa jam and peanut butter.
04:10.3
Nakita ko sikat ang Aurora Baler sa cocoa jam and peanut butter.
04:14.3
Sigurado yan yun.
04:16.3
And then maraming mga tinapay.
04:25.3
May breakfast sausage.
04:30.3
Ay naku masarap ang kainan.
04:39.3
Ako mukhang masarap yung chicken adobo na to ah.
04:50.3
Ang pansit baler.
04:52.3
Naku mukhang walang kwartang pansit baler.
04:54.3
Mukhang pwede sa atin.
04:56.3
Ang pansit baler.
05:00.3
And meron tayong arroz caldo station.
05:06.3
And chicken macaroni soup.
05:09.3
Lahat ng mga ka-favorita nandiyan.
05:11.3

05:25.3
And of course meron tayong omelet station.
05:30.3
We're having breakfast.
05:32.3
The view is gorgeous.
05:34.3
And the rooms are really spacious.
05:36.3
We had such a good night.
05:40.3
We can't wait to explore Aurora.
05:42.3
It's my first time in Baler.
05:45.3
May ma-request mo ang taho.
05:48.3
Robin, ang pangatlo na to.
05:50.3
Masarap ang taho dito sa Costa Pacifica.
05:52.3
At sa Aurora Baler.
05:53.3
Ang hindi hindi ko makakalimutan ay ang nanay pasings peanut butter.
05:56.3
Pati yung cocoa jam.
06:01.3
meron tayong sounds.
06:05.3
At ang sobrang susunod.
06:14.3
ang ganda ng view
06:18.8
maganda na lumabas ka
06:21.1
kasi sayang naman ang ganda ng dadat
06:29.8
saksakan ng inat, sabi nung babae
06:31.8
kailangan daw 5am
06:33.5
naglalakad doon, dahil 6 o'clock daw
06:35.3
tumitinik na yung araw dito
06:36.9
this is our pasalubong
06:38.9
tumangak yung buina
06:40.9
kasi gumagawa sila ng mga perlas doon
06:43.6
kaya yun ang pasalubong
06:45.5
sa inyo ng mga bata, mama
06:49.5
eh, wala mo siya doon
06:50.6
so now we are going to try
06:56.4
yung pancit ng baler
07:01.6
ano talaga sila dito dahil
07:03.8
baler pancit, malalaman natin
07:06.2
kung ano yung kakaiba ng baler pancit
07:08.8
meron siyang mushrooms
07:13.4
tagay natin ang kalamansi
07:16.3
that is baler pancit
07:18.6
ako when I eat my pancit
07:20.5
kailangan laging may
07:27.4
ng baler pancit, oh my god
07:37.8
I'm gonna give you a little bit of a tour
07:39.7
in our two bedroom suite
07:41.5
here in Costa Pacifica
07:43.4
it's very very family friendly
07:45.8
kasi the rooms are very spacious
07:47.9
so here you have these two beds
07:50.3
na served din na as mga couch
07:53.1
pero pwede din na rin tulugan
07:54.6
meron lahat dito sa second floor
07:58.0
where you can actually
08:01.7
like what we're doing right over there
08:04.0
pwede nyo isampay yung mga wet stuff ninyo
08:07.7
this is the bedroom
08:10.2
you have flat screens
08:16.9
and then nakaseparate yung
08:18.7
potty at saka yung shower
08:27.5
meron connecting door
08:29.3
so kaya siya nagiging two bedroom suite
08:31.4
meron din siyang mini kitchen area
08:34.6
pasensya na po magulo because
08:36.7
ganyan ang dami naming gamit
08:39.5

08:46.4
the bathroom is clean
08:48.4
there's hot water
08:49.4
so the internet is also very strong
08:53.4
breakfast was good
08:55.4
so it's a very very very nice place
08:59.4
it is a surfing place
09:01.4
I was able to try surfing
09:04.4
I'm gonna go surfing with Mama Eva
09:07.4
How's my surfing buddy?
09:10.4
So nag-surf po kami
09:11.4
So now we're here
09:12.4
at eto pala talaga ang ginagawa dito sa Baler
09:15.4
nagsasurfing ang mga tao
09:17.4
it's a nice surf spot
09:19.4
and everyone is trying and learning how to surf
09:23.4

10:58.5

11:00.7
ngayon at pilit na itinatayo
11:03.1
ang vlog na ito. Grabe!
11:05.2
Very painful po talaga
11:06.6
bilang isang vlogger yung nangyari sa akin.
11:09.1
Sana hindi na po mangyari.
11:10.3
And I would not wish this to anyone. Kasi napakasakit
11:12.9

11:14.4
yung nag-effort po kayo, nag-vlog kayo
11:16.3
dun eh. Pinakita nyo yung lugar eh.
11:18.6
Nagsalita kayo. Tapos
11:20.4
na-corrupt. Napakasakit.
11:23.2
Good morning everyone!
11:24.7
Today we're going around
11:26.3
Aurora. We're going around Valer.
11:28.4
We're going to see the historical places
11:32.0
di naman ang ma-expose yung mga kids
11:34.5
today sa historical places.
11:38.3
yung mansiyon ni Donya
11:42.3
Siya po yung asawa ni
11:43.8
President Manuel L. Quezon.
11:46.2
From the word Valer,
11:48.8
galing po siya sa word na balod.
11:52.1
Balod. Akala ko balot.
11:54.5
Ay, ang galing niya. O, ayan yung
11:56.1
asawa niya si Manuel L. Quezon.
11:58.4
Tapos, ito si Donya Aurora.
12:01.8
Women are finally empowered by signing of the
12:04.3
Women's Suffrage Law.
12:06.2
Ano kaya yun? Ayan o.
12:16.2
Manuel L. Quezon.
12:18.1
Ayan. So, andito tayo
12:20.1
ngayon sa ito yung historical
12:22.0
ngayon. Alam ko na. Kaya pala
12:23.7
pinangalanan na Aurora itong buong
12:25.9
tradition. Galing po kay ma'am.
12:28.0
Ito naman po. Ayan, sala niya.
12:35.9
Can you just imagine nung panahon na yan?
12:38.4
Siguro, kamay ang ginamit.
12:42.2
Para mabuo yung damit na yan.
12:44.2
Kitang-kita mo naman dun sa
12:46.2
parang balabal niya, o.
12:50.2
Yung dress niya ay 1948.
12:54.2
Makapansin po yung dalawang pintuan.
12:56.2
Bakit dalawang pintuan?
12:58.2
Kasi po halimbawa nalang kung may
13:00.2
pumasok na may bisita, pwede po makapansin.
13:04.2
Kunwari ganito, nag-away sila ni Manuel L. Quezon.
13:06.2
Si Manuel L. Quezon dito mag-wap out.
13:08.2
Tapos si Doña Aurora naman.
13:12.2
Kaya naman siya nalabas. Gano'n.
13:14.2
Kaya dalawa yung pintuan nila.
13:18.2
Yung suman, yung peanut butter at yung
13:20.2
cocoa jam. Lahat yan kinain ko po
13:22.2
breakfast kanina. Ang dami!
13:24.2
At eto pa, tinan mo naman yung
13:26.2
plancham ko na ninalagyan pa ng uling.
13:34.2
Alam niyo po, nung mga panahon dati,
13:36.2
ang batayan, kung gaano kakataas
13:38.2
sa buhay, is kung gaano kakalapit
13:40.2
sa simbahan. Sa tapat po
13:42.2
nung simbahan, nandun ang
13:44.2
mansiyon ni Doña Aurora.
13:46.2
Isa rin po na dapat puntahan is the
13:48.2
Baler Church. The Baler Church po,
13:50.2
yun po, yung history niyan ay
13:52.2
napaka-yaman. In fact,
13:54.2
diyan po yung last na
13:56.2
pinagtaguan ng mga
13:58.2
Kastila before sila
14:00.2
nag-surrender. At nandito po tayo
14:02.2
ngayon sa Baler Church.
14:04.2
Yung very famous na church kung saan
14:06.2
nagtago si na Ann Curtis
14:08.2
at si na Jericho, yung sa Pilipinas.
14:10.2
Dati, ito restored na lang
14:12.2
kasi ito ngayon. Pero dati, ito
14:14.2
was made of yung mga nipa, mga kawayan,
14:16.2
kasi yun yung marami
14:18.2
dito sa Baler. And then right here,
14:20.2
if you look at it, meron siya mga steps.
14:22.2
Eto yung Aurora-Baler Trail Walk.
14:24.2
Last garrison ng mga
14:26.2
Spaniards. Ito 54 na
14:28.2
Spaniards yung nagtago
14:30.2
dito sa Baler Church. Diba sabi nila
14:32.2
kapag first time mo magpunta sa
14:34.2
kumbahan, dapat mo mag-make ka ng wish.
14:36.2
Nag-wish na ako pa rin.
14:38.2
President Manuel Quezon, dito po
14:40.2
bininyagan at siya din ang
14:42.2
nagpatayo dito. I had such a nice
14:44.2
conversation with the priest there.
14:46.2
Current priest dito po, si Father.
14:48.2
Father, ano po ang pangalan natin, Father?
14:52.2
So noong 1899 po, ito yung time
14:54.2
na nag-seek refuge,
14:56.2
nagtago dito yung mga
14:58.2
Espanyol. Espanyol.
15:00.2
So ito na yung parang pinaka-end nung war.
15:02.2
Ito na yung tail end talaga.
15:04.2
Actually, ito na yung last
15:06.2
bastion. Ito yung kahuli-hulihan na
15:10.2
Ito na lang ang hawak ng Spanya.
15:12.2
Kumbaga lahat, nanalo na yung
15:14.2
mga Pinoy. Nanalo na yung
15:16.2
Katipuneros. Nanalo na
15:18.2
sila. Ito na lang
15:20.2
last bastion. And then,
15:22.2
Pilipinas palabasin.
15:24.2
Ayaw nila lumabas.
15:26.2
Ayaw nila lumabas. Siyempre po.
15:28.2
May mga ginawa dito.
15:30.2
Siguro na may mga
15:38.2
Sabi siya sa story.
15:42.2
Until ang newspaper was sent to me.
15:46.2
pinuslit sa loob.
15:48.2
At nakita niya from Spain.
15:50.2
Nakita niya from Spain.
15:52.2
Tapos na yung war.
15:54.2
Nakalagay doon tapos na yung war. So naglabasan po ngayon
15:56.2
yung mga Espanyol.
16:02.2
And that started the friendship.
16:04.2
Ah, yun ang naging friendship.
16:10.2
Philippine-Spanish Friendship Day.
16:12.2
Ah, kaya pala. June 30,
16:14.2
Philippine-Spanish Friendship Day. Ay, ang
16:16.2
ganda naman. Thank you, Father, for that.
16:18.2
We are going to eat in a
16:20.2
local restaurant. It's called
16:26.2
makakain tayo doon sa mga local restaurants.
16:28.2
Also, para mas makilala natin
16:30.2
yung kusina isang lugar. At saka
16:32.2
masupport na rin natin yung mga local
16:34.2
restaurants here in
16:38.2
Sana po mapuntahan ninyo because
16:40.2
doon lahat, they serve everything
16:42.2
sa banana leaves. Look at this.
16:54.2
So ito ang meron sa
16:56.2
Kusina Luntian. O, di ba meron
16:58.2
pangpamasaj? Wow!
17:00.2
Ang galing naman. Dito mismo ang lutoan.
17:02.2
Ayan yung mga in-order.
17:04.2
Mukhang adobo po yan. Ito ba yung
17:06.2
buttered shrimp natin?
17:10.2
Meron pa sa palayok mismo.
17:12.2
Sinigang. Favorito po yan
17:14.2
ng mga anak ko. Tapos ito
17:16.2
may mga iniihaw dito.
17:28.2
Ayun po bang hello sa
17:32.2
Wow! Special ah! May
17:34.2
linagay dito. May sauce sa loob.
17:38.2
Masuportahan po natin yung mga
17:40.2
local restaurants na mga tulad
17:42.2
nitong Kusina Luntian.
17:48.2
Talagang pinaghandaan nila
17:50.2
kaya nakakahappy. Lahat ng mga
17:52.2
dishes parang elevated po.
17:54.2
Pero hindi po sila gumagamit ng
17:56.2
regular na spoon and fork.
17:58.2
Yan. Sobrang sarap in that
18:00.2
restaurant. Ang galing because
18:02.2
wala siyang upuan. Sa sahig kayo uupo.
18:04.2
Maliit lang po siya. Para lang siyang
18:06.2
kubok. It's something definitely that you have
18:08.2
to try if ever you're in Valer
18:10.2
kasi yung mga small restaurant
18:12.2
owners na ganun. Pero they
18:14.2
put so much effort na instagramable
18:16.2
po talaga yung mga
18:18.2
pagkain nila. Ang gaganda pati
18:20.2
yung arrangement nila.
18:22.2
Look at that. Ito yung
18:24.2
daing na bangus. Ang
18:26.2
ganda. Oh my gosh.
18:28.2
Sa dahon ng saging talaga.
18:30.2
So ito nakakatuwa. Tingnan mo ito yung bowl
18:34.2
Nagstart na si sir
18:36.2
kamae na. Babe ano yung sayo? Mukhang
18:38.2
tuna. Mukhang fish. Grilled fish.
18:40.2
Is it blue marlin?
18:42.2
Blue marlin no. Blue marlin with
18:48.2
Ito. Try natin yung tapa nila.
19:02.2
For sarap ng food dito sa
19:04.2
Kusina Luntian. Ang saya-saya
19:06.2
namin. Kamayan talaga.
19:10.2
saya dito. Wala silang mga
19:12.2
plato at saka mga bowl. Ang bowl
19:14.2
nila mga bao. Ang plato nila yung
19:16.2
talagang yung dahon ng saging.
19:18.2
Ito. Pinaka nagustuhan ko
19:20.2
yan. Another great discovery
19:24.2
Aurora. Ang sarap-sarap po doon.
19:26.2
It's something that you should try. Kasi
19:28.2
gusto ko rin po that when I go to a place I can share
19:30.2
with you a local restaurant that I have
19:32.2
tried. Ito po talaga is
19:34.2
very highly recommended. Maraming things
19:36.2
to do sa Aurora Valer. Pwede rin kayo
19:46.2
So this is a local coffee
19:48.2
shop. Madison's Cafe.
19:50.2
Dito sa Valer Aurora.
19:54.2
espresso. Ubus na yung
19:56.2
carrot cake. They have
19:58.2
red velvet. Ubus na yung carrot. Ang best
20:00.2
seller nila dito nakita ko is
20:02.2
the blueberry cheesecake.
20:04.2
Excited siya dito sa Madison Cafe.
20:06.2
Gusto niya i-try yung
20:08.2
local na kape. Ayos yung
20:10.2
coffee. Coffee of coffee. Yan yung
20:12.2
magagusto kong coffee. Creamy.
20:14.2
Sino pong nagbibake yan?
20:20.2
Baked niya yan. Lahat. Na-
20:24.2
product na lumalabas dito sa cafe ay
20:26.2
fresh to make na.
20:28.2
Okay. You like the blueberry
20:36.2
Sila ang gumagawa lahat yan. Roast beef
20:38.2
bun. Yes. Pati chili
20:40.2
dough. Yes. Oh my gosh. It's
20:42.2
really good. Nagpunta rin po kami
20:44.2
sa Hanging Bridge
20:46.2
sa Valer. Yung Hanging Bridge
20:48.2
po, yun po ang nagkoconnect po sa dalawang
20:50.2
barangay sa Aurora Valer.
20:52.2
The reason kung bakit nagpunta
20:54.2
kami dyan, I'll tell you why.
20:56.2
For the gram, magbubuyos buhay tayo.
20:58.2
For the gram, gusto ko gawin yung
21:00.2
Fantasy Mariah Carey TikTok
21:02.2
Dance Challenge. Gusto ko yung gawin
21:04.2
doon pero gusto ko level up
21:10.2
Ang hirap pala at nakakatakot din.
21:12.2
So, ginawa ko po yan doon
21:14.2
para akong sirawin.
21:16.2
And going down, may nakita
21:18.2
na Hello Kitty na tricycle
21:20.2
yung mga anak ko.
21:22.2
Yung Hello Kitty na tricycle na yun, hindi talaga yun
21:24.2
pang pasada. It is privately owned
21:28.2
and her daughter. Kaya niya pinagawang
21:30.2
Hello Kitty para sa anak niya.
21:32.2
Nakasakay at nag-drive po tayo
21:34.2
for the first time ng tricycle.
21:36.2
First time ko mag-drive and my kids
21:38.2
first time nakasakay. So,
21:40.2
yun ang naging highlight ng kanilang Aurora trip.
21:42.2
Maraming salamat dito sa
21:44.2
Hello Kitty. So, sinakyan namin
21:46.2
yun. Inikot namin
21:48.2
yung tricycle na yun. Pati yung mother-in-law ko
21:50.2
pinasakay doon. Pinagtripa na
21:52.2
namin. Sobrang thank you talaga
21:54.2
because we had such a nice experience.
21:56.2
We were so blessed because
21:58.2
the kids were on break. They didn't
22:00.2
have school. So, we really wanted to take advantage
22:02.2
of that time that we can
22:04.2
spend with the kids and to make new
22:06.2
memories with them. I think
22:08.2
it's really, really important
22:12.2
You're also surfing. Whoa!
22:16.2
She's also surfing. It's really
22:18.2
for the children, you know. They grow up
22:20.2
fast and we want to give them
22:22.2
that sense of family
22:26.2
they get to appreciate more. I really believe
22:28.2
that one of the best teachers
22:30.2
is, you know, you get to learn
22:32.2
from travel. So, kung kayo po,
22:34.2
meron po kayong mga suggestions
22:36.2
on where we should go next, I would be
22:40.2
read your suggestions.
22:42.2
It was nice to spend time with my mother-in-law.
22:46.2
was difficult at may mga
22:48.2
times na nakatayo, okay na yun.
22:50.2
So, to everyone, thank you so much for watching
22:52.2
