yeahh, of course, it's so similar to Indonesia from culture, faces and everything, even their language is a bit similar to Indonesia. Their weapon too, they also have Kris and Silat.
Here in Indonesia we learn that southern Philippines were once part of Sultanate that shared same roots with parts of Indonesia. It's an interesting history on how colonialism divided the Nusantara region. Cheers to our brothers and sisters in the Philippines, I do hope everything will get better.
Azlul Fadhly this is true. People in mindanao like in Tawi-tawi can speak Bahasa as well. Eats Nasi Lemak too. And they are nearer to Celebes sea and Sulu sea which borders Malaysia and Indonesia. Before the borders were drawn, we can see people from these area trade with the people near by rather than people from Manila, KL or Jakarta.
Thats why we were called bangsamoro cuz we share mostly common on culture and religion it really became to the fact that those name that they use to call us came from you guys in indo and malay nation which is why we were called a bangsamoro
The Philippines in general share a deep history and connections with indonesia even before islam came. Many parts of the philippines are controlled or influenced by the majapahit hindu empire. Dont focus on islam only because even before islam came, the indonesians and filipinos still have this deep relation.
@@braderokaykalang187 actually moro was not used on mindanao. It was first used to call the tagalogs. Intra-moros. Manila was muslim ruled by rajah suleyman. :) . Moro history is filipino history. The very name moro is linked to the manila and its fall to colonization. When sultan kudarat rallied the magindanaons- he used the bisaya as examples. Bisaya/ilonggo/panay are related tribed of the tausug.. theyre muslim, we are christian. Durong the spanish arrival, panay was the stopping ground for the sulu navy which made raids against cebu (cebuanos were called pintados and bisaya only applied to panay back then).. a lot of tausug has ilonggo/karay-a/akeanon/capizeño blood. Ilonggos may have historically fought with the tausug but we are both maisug. For an ilonggo, we respect the tausug probably more rhan any other tribe.
This is amazing! I am a muslim from mindanao. Hope there will be more exposure of our history. Btw, kudos to the team for finding such intelligent people to be interviewed for this documentary. They represented and explained very well.
Actually nung bata pa ako, (and keep in mind I went to a Catholic school in Manila), our principal who’s also a nun acknowledged you guys’ cultures and in fact, they bring great respects to Mindanao Muslim culture. In fact, our school encouraged respecting and giving homage to some of your cultural beliefs through the mentioning of the food and also the lifestyle you guys have maliban sa religious beliefs (because that’s a whole can of worms we don’t want to get into as debating about beliefs is not the whole point rather it’s to educate students about this side of the Philippines that most schools wouldn’t normally teach)
I'm a Roman Christian, but I always and always love Muslim foods, specially the Beef Kulma and Tiyula Itom, it's a total boom!!!😍 I'm from Mindanao as well but in the Northern Part, I usually travel once a month going to Lanao or Cotabato just to relax and EAT! 🤣 Thank you for featuring the side of Filipino food which most Filipino don't know it exists.^^
@@thornados4969 first explain why you think I'm ignorant than I'll tell you which God I'm talking about although it's obvious what halal meat is what religion it comes from.
Filipinos are really proud for their pork dishes. But Southern no pork meals should be introduced to the world about the richness of Philipines culinary heritage.
@loveinheaven2020 runi that's correct , about Moors. but my mom ancestors is not from Andalucia or Maghreb which categorically described as Moors. My mom is Spanish Mexican.
Thank you for featuring the Moro-Filipinos and discussing the history of its culture through food convos and exploration, as Babo said, “Thank you because you’re here without fear”. Actually Mindanao is a safe place, rich in diverse culture and traditions, beautiful and happy people.But what makes it unsafe is the misleading news that people outside Mindanao sees/ hear in their TV/radios. I love this segment, so many things to learn through food. More episodes to come.
G G yes but only in some parts of Mindanao not as a whole. And if you would to compare crime rates in the country ,you’ll see cities from Luzon competing for number 1. Please don’t be fooled by the news, Mindanao is as safe place. 😉
Tooper Ace I wrote it because I‘m sure I not manipulated by media when it comes to this matter. I come from not so far from the region and I know what I am talking about. Mindanao has a deep and klinging history(and new) that will continue to stigmatize the region. The solution is known, people just can start implementing it.

I like these two lovely reporters. Why? I feel they are sincere and I didn't see any disgust from their expression and gestures. Kudos to your team. One more, thank you so much for educating us, Filipinos.
My Mom is a Cebuana(Visayas) and my Dad is a Zambuangeno(MIndanao), I grew up on the city of Cebu , but when we decided to live for about 2 years in Mindanao, being part of the community of diverse people of religions and ethnicity is so eye opening that they could co-exist , and that there are islamized ethnolinguistic also has their own distinct cultures, that we can be proud of and tell our fellow Filipino people how so many things can be discovered if we left our marginalized and stereotypes views towards ethnic minorities, and celebrate with them our Filipino identity
How i miss "tiyula Itum" and saw "satti" aslo while watching the episode. Can't wait to visit my home town soon.. I am glad that you have featured certain foods in Mindanao.The Philippines is not only "adobo" and "kare kare". it is more than that. :)
little they know that the country is Muslim are dominant in our country until Spanish colonize and commit genocide. They conquered Luzon and Visayas Region due to indocrinating the younger people so once the elders die, their culture and religion will banish and younger people will be the next one to have a brand new religion and culture. They made it for 300+ years and modern Flipino is the product of it's colonization.
What a wonderful job you did, ladies. I like how you balanced 3 basic things we don't normally think about--food, culture, and identity. But this only the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. There are also other Mindanao tribes, who are neither Muslim nor Christian, generally known as "lumad", and perhaps you could cover them in the future. Kudos.
In 2018 it was my first meeting with the Philippines. The hospitality, positivity and nature was amazing. The most difficult part was food, finding vegetarian dinner or grilled fish on a plate only for fish was hard. But the delicious fruits were the savers. Unfortunately I only planned the north to visit, because my country didn't advised to travel to the south. As a hijabi muslim I really felt comfortable in a non muslim country. People were not looking and when they stare it was to compliment and show their respect. I met beautiful souls. Filipino's have to know that they are blessed. Blessed with the beautiful nature, blessed with the all-day happiness and positive character, blessed to produce and work, blessed to know more languages etc. During my travel I met a lot of people who wanted to go abroad. Money, wealth, materialism isn't everything. Know the value of your blessings. I really loved the Philippines and InsaAllah one day I want to go again and visit also the south (and hopefully will able to eat meat). Thank you for this episode.
I agree, the conflict superseded the beauty of Mindanao. The culture is diverse, the people are very welcoming, nature is not much touched by modernity, and the food is good - really good!
Because people were scared the moment they hear MINDANAO. scared of being kidnapped. I grew up in Zamboanga and non of my friends know our food cultures, in reality, Mindanao was branded as the EPIC CENTER OF KIDNAPPING and WAR ZONE. I am not sure how we can recover from that branding
This is ABSOLUTELY educational for filipinos who think that their national food/cultural identity is limited to adobo et al. WELL-RESEARCHED! Thank you, ladies, for schooling everyone!
I never thought to visit Philippines before but now will be considering it and I know exactly where to go too. Thank you for introducing us to this great hidden treasure!
My father was born in Mindanao, but eventually, we settled here in Luzon because this is where my parents first found work. I really really want to make it my mission to visit my aunts and uncles there. I still have a long ways to save up for dare and expenses, but I hope to see Mindanao myself someday.
Thank you for featuring the Muslim Mindanao. I am visiting Mindanao for the first time next year and I am excited to see for myself the southern part, the culture, foods, people and the wonderful things I heard about this part of the country.
I really appreciate this, thank you. ♥️♥️ I live in Mindanao, just fortunate enough that the city I live in, is peaceful. My heart grieves for my Mindanaoan people in the Muslim communities, specially in Marawi. Bangon Mindanao ♥️
How do you create a national identity out of a group of people spread across more than 7,600 islands, belonging to dozens of ethnic tribes, speaking nearly 200 different languages? "I don't believe that there's such a thing as a on version of a Filipino. The fact that Philippines is a multicultural community itself is what makes it Filipino" -Ace (Maranao tribe) "It's continually changing, it's not stagnant. Because if it's stagnant eventually that's the death of any identity" If you don't hear yourself reflected in this larger national narrative, where does that leave you?
As Filipino I only know general aspects of some tribes and culture and traditions are mostly Tagalog. I am Ilocano and I moved to a Tagalog majority place but still have classmate who speak Iloko too and my pure Tagalog classmate wanted to learn Ilocano too so we teach them word by word and also we Ilocanos came from different places so we get to learn new Ilocano words that is specifically used in their places.
I never been to mindanao, im from sangley point cavite, but mindanao sounds and seems like a mini Indonesia, and i think thats cool, nice to know a sultan still resides there(or was it sulu) Tho i hear a lot of indonesians describing manila as being similar to jakarta
You guys are very open minded and very brave to visit those places. In Korean airports, they always announce that Southern Mindanao and Marawi are always warned to be dangerous. I myself am afraid to visit. The PH is not only Manila and Cebu. Thanks for this enlightening documentary.
"Ngin i seda nu?" sounds so similar to what we say in Northern Luzon, Philippines, among the Itawis people. We say, "Anna i isira nu?" It's so interesting to hear this similarity from the two opposite ends, north-to-south, of the Philippines! We also say "mapya" for "good."
So interesting how different the languages are! My family is from Cebu and I had to learn Tagalog growing up as well - there were very few words that I could recognize when Babo was speaking!
Nice to see you guys in Mindanao exploring their food, place and a bit of their culture... My father is from Mindanao (Tausug tribe) but how i wish i can visit the place one day. I love it that the Philippines is bit by bit catering halal food... during my college days it was hard for us to find halal food in Manila. Awesome video and hopefully that you feature more of Mindanao because i bet there are more to explore.
Awesome documentary, i like how you use food to tell other people’s culture and history there’s so much things to talk about over meals and it’s the best time to do that because everyone has to eat and we love to enjoy when and what we eat 🥘 thank you 🙏
When I first visited Singapore and Malaysia, I was humbled to see how the Muslim people live good lives not being the minority, being proud of their culture and traditions. I have never set foot in Mindanao in the fear of safety issues brought by vastly generalized news the media is usually protraying. I hope in the future, I can find myself delving into the realm of the Moro people in Mindanao and enjoy their vast culture with a glimpse of progress in the region just like in our Muslim neighboring countries. That will be a dream for every Moro Filipino.
Thank you, this was beautiful! I am a Filipino foodie from Manila and I myself do not know much about Filipino culture in Mindanao. I hope to learn more about my fellow Filipinos in other regions, and this helps.
Looking at this episode, I realize how similar the food of Mindanao and Indonesia.. Sometimes I forgot that Philippines is a neighboring country too.. Except for bad news, there's not much things I know from there..
Frankly the wide variety of aromatic spices used in Indonesian cuisine makes it far more complex and flavorful than the home cooking in Muslim Mindanao.
@@Icantthinkofanyname48 so what is most favorite food that we could found in mindanao..?..i rather confused with bangsamoro,mnlf,milf.. Is it all the same or different province in southern mindanao..? Actually how many province in all mindanao..and which city is most modern in term of airport,seaport,railway,tollroad..?
Thank you for sharing kind of these things from Phillipines, im so happy to see even though im not from this country but still we are brotherss !! greetings from Indonesia and stay safee
If you've watch this and you want to come here in the Southern part of Mindanao, you're very welcome. Don't be afraid cuz we are all hospitable no matter who you are or where you came from. Nways, kudos to the team and thanks for featuring our Bangsamoro history.
My family is from one of the northern provinces and so I was raised as a Catholic growing up in America. Recently I have decided to convert to Islam and I was worried about how my experience of my culture would change, namely through food. i think especially for Filipino-Americans, food is the biggest tie we have back to the Philippines, and it’s unfortunate that a lot of major/popular dishes come exclusively from Christian provinces. I love what the chefs here are doing though, bringing in Filipino identity while still adhering to Allah’s guidance. I am thankful to Allah for people like the ones featured in this video. I can honor my family background but still stay away from pork by substituting ingredients here and there. I always preferred seafood anyways!
@@user-up5ny7rd6i well, the 3 regions can't be unified without the Spanish colonization. Denying Spain colonization is denying also our identity. Colonization has its bad and good side, but it would only be understand by those who has the will to learn. I guess you're not one of them.
I'm a uk citizen with residency status here in Negros Occidenta. I have travelled to many regions in the Phlps and it is your diversity, customers, food and culture which first attracted me here way back in 2000. Keep up the good work & please if possible share more videos of your amazing country. Salamat.
This gave me a lot of goosebumps, I can't believe that an International Media will feature our food culture in the Mindanao especially the marawi. Thank you so much HyoJin and Joi Lee for this !
I love this content. As a Catholic Filipino, with strong family ties with Muslim family members, food is a good unifying instrument to consider when ideas and beliefs constantly conflicted by the mainstream political views of our people. Food is an instrument to start understanding what connects us all in the brotherhood of humanity. Kudos!
I’m tagalog, but i have always been a proud muslim since i converted in 2011. The resilience and self-determination of bangsamoro echoes in the hearts of All Filipinos. They just don’t know it.
This is such a good series. Keep up the wonderful work not only showing us these beautiful countries, their beautiful citizens but also that delicious looking food!
So lovely travel log unique in terms of eatery dishes & staple food. May peace be upon these innocent MARMA PEOPLE. Respec & love from Indian administered Kashmir
Bangsamoro community leaders should register their cultural heritage to UNESCO. Then only Philippine government will recognize Bangsamoro culture as part of Philippine culture internationally.
I am muslim maranao, on the first day i was there when this called ISIS or maute came inside marawi city, and there was a christian carpenters in our house and we protected them because we heard that they are looking for Christian to hurt or kill.. they are 6 christian carpenters that renovating the house but because of that it got stopped and protected them until we can evacuate we got stranded there for 2 days, and sad to hear when people say muslim or marano are dangerous and terrorist in the Philippines..
Hi! I am a muslim filipina from Philippines. My hometown is Marawi. It's so saddening after seeing my hometown here. 70% of my hometown were destroyed.
yes. it is the nature of islam to kill and destroy. It's not only this recent time but all the time and anytime and anywhere in the world when there is islam.
@@user-up5ny7rd6i I am talking about the nature of islam about killing as revealed in the quran and hadith (sunnah of muhammad). By following those verses of violence and following the examples of the cult leader Muhammad, islam is a religion of satan and evil pretending to compete the real God of Israelites.
Thank you for visiting and highlighting Filipino cultures! Our country is not rich financially but VERY rich in cultures and traditions. We were not so lucky to have a successful government to unite all its people but we are trying. For the mean time life is happening and on-going inspite of everyday challenges. To easily judge a country and its people as a whole is ignoring its history and its struggles. Let us respect every culture. Mabuhay!
Ulol, , wag ka mag pakalat ng kasinungalingan mo,, ang pilipinas ay isang animist, , naniniwala ang mga katutubo sa mga anito, , gaya ni laon, , dumating ang Islam sa isang bahagi ng Mindanao, , sumunod ang mga punyetang mga kastila at ipinakalat ang katolismo, , tigilan niyo na yung kasinungalingan na islam ang unang relihiyon sa pilipinas,
@@mangkadyo3057 English? Plz also animists are allowed in sufi Islam which is the original religion of the Philippines ...that's all I can understand from what you said
Great program and a very interesting approach to cultural diversity. I'm Brazilian and suggest you guys do an episode on the European, Japanese, African and indigenous influences on Brazil through their different culinary practices in the various regions of the country - African in major coastal cities like Rio de Janeiro and Salvador; Italian, German, Polish and Portuguese in the three Southern states of Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina and Paraná; indigenous in the Amazon region, focusing on the cities of Belém and Manaus. Not to mention São Paulo, the country's biggest and one of the world's wealthiest in terms of food culture.
@@hyojinpark, let me know through here if you decide to carry out the project. I would be glad to help with suggestions and some translating if you need it.
Because of my Subject Course I found this beutiful ang full of information video. Thank you very much for giving a chance to introduce the beauty and uniqueness that maranao culture have, specially the maranao food which is the most interesting to try on. Thank You so much.
Thank you for this amazing documentary of the marginalized people of the Philippines. God please help them as they need it. Beautiful people with a lot of history. Much love from an Afghan-American!
Cotabato City, how I miss you, my beautiful home town! And oh heart still hurts when they show Marawi like a ghost town :( 💔 I feel for all the victims.
its refreshing to see filipino muslim (moro) food being featured in an international platform since its rarely highlighted even in the local media because of preconceived judgment against mindanao and its people by outsiders. thank you for this!
Ace said it correctly; like a lot of South East Asia (I live in MY btw) in that is truly Multi-Cultural in all aspects. Religion/Race/Tribe/Language/Culture etc. Having said that; like MOST of the planet Whyte Supremacist Ideologies (in the 21st century, some refer to it as Neo-Liberalism) reign over the Mental of the peoples. Both common civilians as well as po-Lie-ticians. WE need to remove pretty much all Govt's as they are creating the barriers of Divisions within given peoples. Essentially setting us up against each other; even if Born in the same Hood. Why is that? Control.... can't wait to get back to Asia. Mindanao is now on the list, after Bali of course :)
I really there would be a better borderline regulations in Sabah with Southwest Mindanao, most of the people there knew each other and have relatives. But due to border restrictions, they can't see each other often. We know that before borders were drawn, these people visited each other and do there trades. They may know more on Sabah and Southwest Mindanao than KL nor Manila.

First time I traveled in Mindanao I felt at home and I have so much more to explore. The fruits are just the best, could not get enough.
My father was born in Mindanao, but eventually, we settled here in Luzon because this is where my parents first found work. I really really want to make it my mission to visit my aunts and uncles there. I still have a long ways to save up for dare and expenses, but I hope to see Mindanao myself someday.
Thank you for featuring the Muslim Mindanao. I am visiting Mindanao for the first time next year and I am excited to see for myself the southern part, the culture, foods, people and the wonderful things I heard about this part of the country.
This is such a good coverage of Mindanao culture. I've also never thought about the different foods there so thanks for featuring them.
Philippine Colonizers have a very great impact in Filipino minds.
yep thats why the country is so divided and has prejudice against mindanao
They made filipinos into White worshiping people with deep inferiority complex. Whites call filipino women LBFM but filipinos don't even care!

@@elingrato4614 is this colonial mentality?
Mindanao has a lot of things to offer. Thank you for showing the lovely foods of my hometown 🙌🏻❤️
Video highlighted the misconceptions, generalization & marginalization of the region that was associated with it. Good job.
I really appreciate this, thank you. ♥️♥️
I live in Mindanao, just fortunate enough that the city I live in, is peaceful. My heart grieves for my Mindanaoan people in the Muslim communities, specially in Marawi. Bangon Mindanao ♥️
Excellent & thank you! I have not seen many shows on the Muslim, and remote areas of the Philippines. Keep em coming!!! 😎
How do you create a national identity out of a group of people spread across more than 7,600 islands, belonging to dozens of ethnic tribes, speaking nearly 200 different languages?
"I don't believe that there's such a thing as a on version of a Filipino. The fact that Philippines is a multicultural community itself is what makes it Filipino" -Ace (Maranao tribe)
"It's continually changing, it's not stagnant. Because if it's stagnant eventually that's the death of any identity"
If you don't hear yourself reflected in this larger national narrative, where does that leave you?
Agree I am Ilonggo. My ethnicity is Ilonggon my nationality is Filipino
How do you create a National identity ? You don't. Perhaps that is a gift which allows people to be less indoctrinated and more themselves ?
As Filipino I only know general aspects of some tribes and culture and traditions are mostly Tagalog. I am Ilocano and I moved to a Tagalog majority place but still have classmate who speak Iloko too and my pure Tagalog classmate wanted to learn Ilocano too so we teach them word by word and also we Ilocanos came from different places so we get to learn new Ilocano words that is specifically used in their places.
I never been to mindanao, im from sangley point cavite, but mindanao sounds and seems like a mini Indonesia, and i think thats cool, nice to know a sultan still resides there(or was it sulu)
Tho i hear a lot of indonesians describing manila as being similar to jakarta
200+ languages. That's my Country. And I'm proud of it. I'm Visayan. 🇵🇭
Indonesia have 700+🇮🇩 languages👍😱

You guys are very open minded and very brave to visit those places. In Korean airports, they always announce that Southern Mindanao and Marawi are always warned to be dangerous. I myself am afraid to visit. The PH is not only Manila and Cebu. Thanks for this enlightening documentary.
"Ngin i seda nu?" sounds so similar to what we say in Northern Luzon, Philippines, among the Itawis people. We say, "Anna i isira nu?" It's so interesting to hear this similarity from the two opposite ends, north-to-south, of the Philippines! We also say "mapya" for "good."

So interesting how different the languages are! My family is from Cebu and I had to learn Tagalog growing up as well - there were very few words that I could recognize when Babo was speaking!
Sa ilocano nya sida u
it's because all philippine languages are related and has one ancestor
Nice to see you guys in Mindanao exploring their food, place and a bit of their culture... My father is from Mindanao (Tausug tribe) but how i wish i can visit the place one day. I love it that the Philippines is bit by bit catering halal food... during my college days it was hard for us to find halal food in Manila. Awesome video and hopefully that you feature more of Mindanao because i bet there are more to explore.
Balero Balero
Awesome documentary, i like how you use food to tell other people’s culture and history there’s so much things to talk about over meals and it’s the best time to do that because everyone has to eat and we love to enjoy when and what we eat 🥘 thank you 🙏
When I first visited Singapore and Malaysia, I was humbled to see how the Muslim people live good lives not being the minority, being proud of their culture and traditions. I have never set foot in Mindanao in the fear of safety issues brought by vastly generalized news the media is usually protraying. I hope in the future, I can find myself delving into the realm of the Moro people in Mindanao and enjoy their vast culture with a glimpse of progress in the region just like in our Muslim neighboring countries. That will be a dream for every Moro Filipino.
I knew about the Southern part, but I was born in the North and never went there. Its a real eye opening episode! Great job!
Thank you, this was beautiful! I am a Filipino foodie from Manila and I myself do not know much about Filipino culture in Mindanao. I hope to learn more about my fellow Filipinos in other regions, and this helps.
Looking at this episode, I realize how similar the food of Mindanao and Indonesia.. Sometimes I forgot that Philippines is a neighboring country too.. Except for bad news, there's not much things I know from there..
Frankly the wide variety of aromatic spices used in Indonesian cuisine makes it far more complex and flavorful than the home cooking in Muslim Mindanao.
Mindanao alone have tourist spots worth to visit. It just needs to be expose to public. And there are cities that are not affected by siege. 😊
@@nagwagi2000 is it true that rendang also found in mindanao..?
@@ekapurwandi9045 I don't know. Mindanao food is very different from Indonesian food as far as I know.
@@Icantthinkofanyname48 so what is most favorite food that we could found in mindanao..?..i rather confused with bangsamoro,mnlf,milf.. Is it all the same or different province in southern mindanao..? Actually how many province in all mindanao..and which city is most modern in term of airport,seaport,railway,tollroad..?
Thank you for sharing kind of these things from Phillipines, im so happy to see even though im not from this country but still we are brotherss !! greetings from Indonesia and stay safee
If you've watch this and you want to come here in the Southern part of Mindanao, you're very welcome. Don't be afraid cuz we are all hospitable no matter who you are or where you came from. Nways, kudos to the team and thanks for featuring our Bangsamoro history.
Well done! More accurate than most features on Mindanao - my favorite region to travel in Philippines 🙌
My family is from one of the northern provinces and so I was raised as a Catholic growing up in America. Recently I have decided to convert to Islam and I was worried about how my experience of my culture would change, namely through food. i think especially for Filipino-Americans, food is the biggest tie we have back to the Philippines, and it’s unfortunate that a lot of major/popular dishes come exclusively from Christian provinces. I love what the chefs here are doing though, bringing in Filipino identity while still adhering to Allah’s guidance. I am thankful to Allah for people like the ones featured in this video. I can honor my family background but still stay away from pork by substituting ingredients here and there. I always preferred seafood anyways!
Muslim filipino look so similar to Indonesian..
Most of this region looks similar
because we are long lost brother,, long ago we spoke same language ... ang we are come from one ancestors called astronatian and malays.

@@user-up5ny7rd6i well, the 3 regions can't be unified without the Spanish colonization. Denying Spain colonization is denying also our identity. Colonization has its bad and good side, but it would only be understand by those who has the will to learn. I guess you're not one of them.

I'm a muslim from Pakistan. Loved to see the culture of our muslim brothers and sisters from Philippines. 🇵🇰 🇵🇭
Allah O Akbar - I have muslim brothers and sisters in the Philippines. Masha'Allah. i am definately going to visit Insha'Allah
Been there too in Mindanao without fear, food was superb my taste. Thank you Gov. Datu Pax S. Mangudadatu for his hospitality in this region.
So similar with Indonesian cuisine. Love Philippines 🇵🇭
Mindanao is cool and I love these food vlogs
I'm a uk citizen with residency status here in Negros Occidenta.
I have travelled to many regions in the Phlps and it is your diversity, customers, food and culture which first attracted me here way back in 2000.
Keep up the good work & please if possible share more videos of your amazing country.
Salamat.
Iam glad ive tasted foods from almost all parts of the Philippines.taste and style of cooking really differs from region to region.
Such Beautiful Women Educating the World about OTHER Cultures and Food. I LOVE what THESE WOMEN are doing. Bless Them
My best wishes to all muslim brothers and sisters in Philippines
This gave me a lot of goosebumps, I can't believe that an International Media will feature our food culture in the Mindanao especially the marawi. Thank you so much HyoJin and Joi Lee for this !
MasyaAllah Filipina😍
love your on-screen chemistry, especially with the korea episode. please keep making more!!!
this is actually a well thought out segment - kudos to the people who made this. definitely deserves a thumbs up.
I love this content. As a Catholic Filipino, with strong family ties with Muslim family members, food is a good unifying instrument to consider when ideas and beliefs constantly conflicted by the mainstream political views of our people. Food is an instrument to start understanding what connects us all in the brotherhood of humanity. Kudos!
I hope that my Province of Maguindanao can change its image.
I’m tagalog, but i have always been a proud muslim since i converted in 2011. The resilience and self-determination of bangsamoro echoes in the hearts of All Filipinos. They just don’t know it.
This is such a good series. Keep up the wonderful work not only showing us these beautiful countries, their beautiful citizens but also that delicious looking food!
I love this coverage so much! Thank you for choosing to cover a lesser known part of our country!

So lovely travel log unique in terms of eatery dishes & staple food.

Bangsamoro community leaders should register their cultural heritage to UNESCO. Then only Philippine government will recognize Bangsamoro culture as part of Philippine culture internationally.
First time to hear tiyula and other dishes from muslim minorities

I am muslim maranao, on the first day i was there when this called ISIS or maute came inside marawi city, and there was a christian carpenters in our house and we protected them because we heard that they are looking for Christian to hurt or kill.. they are 6 christian carpenters that renovating the house but because of that it got stopped and protected them until we can evacuate we got stranded there for 2 days, and sad to hear when people say muslim or marano are dangerous and terrorist in the Philippines..
Hi! I am a muslim filipina from Philippines. My hometown is Marawi. It's so saddening after seeing my hometown here. 70% of my hometown were destroyed.
yes. it is the nature of islam to kill and destroy. It's not only this recent time but all the time and anytime and anywhere in the world when there is islam.
@@user-up5ny7rd6i I am talking about the nature of islam about killing as revealed in the quran and hadith (sunnah of muhammad). By following those verses of violence and following the examples of the cult leader Muhammad, islam is a religion of satan and evil pretending to compete the real God of Israelites.
Taga Mindoro ako (Southern Luzon) and mahilig ako magluto ng Maranao food.
This is quickly becoming a fav. Keep up the great work, so much depth of framing packed into a quick taste.
Thanks so much :)
Makanan halal memang paling enak.
Thank you for visiting and highlighting Filipino cultures! Our country is not rich financially but VERY rich in cultures and traditions. We were not so lucky to have a successful government to unite all its people but we are trying. For the mean time life is happening and on-going inspite of everyday challenges. To easily judge a country and its people as a whole is ignoring its history and its struggles. Let us respect every culture. Mabuhay!
Islam was in the Philippines before the Christian conquistadors
Ulol, , wag ka mag pakalat ng kasinungalingan mo,, ang pilipinas ay isang animist, , naniniwala ang mga katutubo sa mga anito, , gaya ni laon, , dumating ang Islam sa isang bahagi ng Mindanao, , sumunod ang mga punyetang mga kastila at ipinakalat ang katolismo, , tigilan niyo na yung kasinungalingan na islam ang unang relihiyon sa pilipinas,

In mindanao, there's a lot of halal restaurants everywhere

Narp Andoy no it isn’t. only some few parts of the area. majority of mindanaoans are still christians.

Great program and a very interesting approach to cultural diversity. I'm Brazilian and suggest you guys do an episode on the European, Japanese, African and indigenous influences on Brazil through their different culinary practices in the various regions of the country - African in major coastal cities like Rio de Janeiro and Salvador; Italian, German, Polish and Portuguese in the three Southern states of Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina and Paraná; indigenous in the Amazon region, focusing on the cities of Belém and Manaus. Not to mention São Paulo, the country's biggest and one of the world's wealthiest in terms of food culture.
We would love to do an episode in Brazil! I have friends who have roots in many different cultures and are proudly Brazilian.
@@hyojinpark, let me know through here if you decide to carry out the project. I would be glad to help with suggestions and some translating if you need it.
Because of my Subject Course I found this beutiful ang full of information video. Thank you very much for giving a chance to introduce the beauty and uniqueness that maranao culture have, specially the maranao food which is the most interesting to try on. Thank You so much.
Such a good series! I hope it becomes a fixture!
Thank you for this amazing documentary of the marginalized people of the Philippines. God please help them as they need it. Beautiful people with a lot of history. Much love from an Afghan-American!
Cotabato City, how I miss you, my beautiful home town! And oh heart still hurts when they show Marawi like a ghost town :( 💔
I feel for all the victims.
Came for the food,stayed for the documentary....
Exactly my experience too...
its refreshing to see filipino muslim (moro) food being featured in an international platform since its rarely highlighted even in the local media because of preconceived judgment against mindanao and its people by outsiders. thank you for this!
Enjoy the show guys. Comment section is kinda ugly so beware.
Ace said it correctly; like a lot of South East Asia (I live in MY btw) in that is truly Multi-Cultural in all aspects. Religion/Race/Tribe/Language/Culture etc. Having said that; like MOST of the planet Whyte Supremacist Ideologies (in the 21st century, some refer to it as Neo-Liberalism) reign over the Mental of the peoples. Both common civilians as well as po-Lie-ticians. WE need to remove pretty much all Govt's as they are creating the barriers of Divisions within given peoples. Essentially setting us up against each other; even if Born in the same Hood. Why is that? Control.... can't wait to get back to Asia. Mindanao is now on the list, after Bali of course :)
I really there would be a better borderline regulations in Sabah with Southwest Mindanao, most of the people there knew each other and have relatives. But due to border restrictions, they can't see each other often. We know that before borders were drawn, these people visited each other and do there trades. They may know more on Sabah and Southwest Mindanao than KL nor Manila.
Because Sabah was owned by the sultanate of Sulu but loaned to the British but wasn't returned to him but was instead given to Malaysia.
