Salamat for featuring this story. Naghanap ako ng palayok during my vacation to my home province, Bohol but sadly disappointing ang mga items na available - parang ginawa nalang for the sake of making, without any passion nor attention to any details. Walang sense of pride!😔
So much respect on FEATR. I was super in awe how you guys perfectly and authentically captured the story, culture and beauty of this episode. Grabe. Super world-class!
As someone from Kalinga, thank you for featuring Pasil and letting people know there are more in Kalinga aside from Busculan. We take our cultures and tradition seriously. Also, wines in Kalinga are good. 😊
Amazing that these ladies also use tree resin to polish their pottery, like how Japanese use lacquer to theirs. Been a fan of Japanese pottery for a few years and I should've appreciated beautiful pottery closer to home. They look real nice!
It's ironic because the Japanese used to treasure pottery (known as "Rusun ware", from "Luzon") they traded from us in the 16th century as tea ceremony utensils, precisely because of their rustic appeal. They embodied the aesthetic of "wabi-sabi" ("less is more"), of finding beauty in imperfection.
@@bmona7550 Nope. WE used them for fermenting wine and storing rice. But the Japanese used them as containers for tea leaves in the traditional Japanese tea ceremony (chanoyu), which is a very important part of Japanese hospitality.
This is my mums hometown, used to spend our summer vacation here and had experienced what it's like to live in a simple yet unique and peaceful life. Our grand parents taught us and opened our eyes to the vast culture of Pasil. Almost the women on the videos are a relative and a cousin/auntie of mum. Now they made a name for the making of the most traditional pottery in the Philippines and also they introduce the slow cooking chuchu that was known in the whole world from a few years back. When I'll go home I would want to go back to this place and re-visit some of my childhood memory. ♥️🤎♥️
Nakabili ang lolo ko noon ng tapayan ng tubig gawa sa Kalinga...hanggang ngayon andon pa rin sa ancestral home namin. Gulat ang anak ko nung unang natikman ang tubig sa tapayan kasi malamig kahut sobrang init kasi summer that time
From Asin Tibuok to this....I love how FEATR showcases products with stories. I hope you will continue doing so. Your videos are very informative and well-crafted....Thank you ❤
My Lolas & Mama used to cook with those pots. I swear the food taste so much better when cooked in it😂 I remember mini version sets of these pots & dalikan being sold on market days in Batac. I think my brother made perfect rice, at 3 years old, in one of them😂 Watching the miners get into these tight passages, I felt claustrophobic. They have such a hard life. Wish they got bigger cuts in the sale of these precious metals.
I felt the same. Those people from Pasil were so kind and honest. That despite the hardship they still prefer to be happy and share what they have. May God bless them more and also FEATR for sharing.
More of this precolonial arts crafts and way of living please, PH needs this contents so we can somehow have a glimpse of our almost forgotten heritage.
In Bontoc, Mountain Province they used to make earthen pots as well. It stopped because there's no more quality clay available in the area where they used to gather what they use in the pottery. Of course, there are still clays everywhere, but people opted not to abuse the environment.
The march of progress, modernization, and globalization has in part made a lot of local traditions and culture to be lost. One of my fears is our culture will become just videos or part of the text as we lose them. Great documentary here of showing a part of our culture and why FEATR is one of my favorite content creator.
Thank you for giving us this episode this is a treasure! Very few of us Filipinos know this very old tradition of making implements to use in our daily lives. Banga gave me nostalgic view of our past. We also call our pots as Banga in our dialect.
How amazing that gold mining can be practiced with minimal impact on the environment. The women who have preserved the art and skill of making clay pots and dishes. The banga/palayok are beautiful.
2:09 A correction: during the Iron Age trade between us and mainland Southeast Asia/South Asia, from at least 300 BC, we also started cooking with the kawali/kawa/kalaha. Far earlier than when the Chinese started using woks (which were only first attested in the Ming dynasty). I think most Filipinos assume that our "woks" are Chinese in origin, when they're actually older than them. We acquired them from South Asia. But yes, metal cookware was generally either only for village feasts (like the kawa) or for high-ranking community members. The majority of Filipinos cooked with palayoks and bamboo.
i"d rather learn how to make a pot than to learn how to do make-up. salamat, featr, for making this video. napakarefreshing panoorin ng mga videos ninyo.
I’ve learned so much from this channel and I hope people will have opportunity to learn our life in Mindanao, especially here in south Cotabato. Because we have something that others do not know yet they still stereotype us of being terrorist but little did they know that our area is full of wonder, nature, indigenous people, and culture. I hope featr will feature south Cotabato soon❤
Dito po sa amin, sa Calumpit Bulacan dati may gumagawa ng palayok sa may Gatbuca, ngayon po sa pag lipas ng panahon unti unting nawala, sayang naman po ito ay isang kasaysayan ng Calumpit, ngayon po wala
@@tenavrisen9279 It's not the documentary that matters. It's the SUBJECT. Halos walang ginagawa ang gobyerno to preserve disappearing parts of our culture like this.
The pots are beautiful. BTW almaciga resin = traditional lacquer/varnish. It seals the pores of the pot, making it liquid-proof and further increases its durability.
"The ETERNAL KING of all is coming soon. Are you ready, Filipinos all across the Philippines and around the world? Is your name written in the LAMB's BOOK OF ETERNAL LIFE hidden inside the NEW HEAVEN, the streets of the CITY are pure gold, like clear glass. 💖✨✨✨✨✨✨
Erwan can you also make a video about farming and pesticides here? I'm just really curious which Philppine vegetable has the least pesticides and all... Anyway, this vlog is so timely I was about to buy a palayok stove....
People in the villages of kalinga don’t use pesticides in their crops it’s all organic. That’s why they don’t even plant varieties of rice that does not grow well in the environment of the villages because they don’t want to use pesticides and compromise other crops. They only plant varieties of rice like unoy etc. that you can’t find in the commercial market. Even vegetables all organic😊
@@ruthSouthT Sorry I meant in the Philippines in general. But it's good to know that crops from Kalinga don't have pesticides. I shall search if they sell any here in Manila. I stayed in Tabuk and Lubuagan Kalinga for 2 weeks years ago for work and it was one of the most profound experiences of my life ♥️😊
Pinapanuod ko pa lng ung pinapasukang butas parang ako ung di makahinga.. biroin mo ung mabigat na sako ng nava nailalabas nila sa maliit na butas at daan
Pinaka maganda talaga gawa sa kalinga kase ginagawa nila with love ❤ its just sad na hindi masyado tinatangkilik.most gamit nga mga kalinga kahit sa upper kalinga ay nonstick pots. Na di nila alam na most ng mga sakit ai galing sa mga kitchen utensils na ginagamit natin.most especially nonstick. Ginagamit natin kahit may gasgas na 😢 na dun galing mga cancerous na chemicals. Im from tabuk city of kalinga at plano kong palitan mga pots ko ng claypots lahat ❤
Khit sa Iloilo kada semana eh bumili yung Lola ko noon paglulutuan ng paksiw isda saludo sa lola kong magiging ala ala sa akin..Na ala ala ko nga meron na malaki paglalagyan ng tubig at masarap ang tubig malamig khit wlng ice eh sa provincia..
