RICE TERRACE FISHPONDS? Japanese Eel Farming in Mayoyao, Ifugao (Cordilleras E09)

- I'M BACK IN THE CORDILLERAS!
Today I ride from Isabela up to Mayoyao, famous for its UNESCO World Heritage Listed stone-walled rice terraces.
But they aren't just rice terraces - they are also being used as FISHPONDS!
Well, kind of - during the Japanese occupation, the Ifugao people were taught how to grow Japanese eels, also known as loaches, picaw, yuyu, and countless other names, in the rice terraces.
And this legacy lives on - there is even a local hatchery and nursery here!
Mayoyao, one of my new favourite towns!

KD and Kulas are different in a way that they have different goals in vlogging but same message to their audience, and that’s the love and appreciation to the Philippines
KD, not just an ordinary blogger, content creator but truly the best documentary creator... Thank you so much KD for sharing the historic scenario of Mayoyao, Aurora and Ifugao all in the northern phils.
Kudos to the Tourism Office Lady ( I think Kumander mentioned her name as Mam Dechee) and her staff for a warm welcome and showing you around their town. Mam Dechee's way of welcoming you and the people from Mayoyao are very friendly, this will inspire many locals and tourists alike to go visit that town. Excellent video.
This was made possible through Mayoyao Tourism! They are really great if you want to arrange a trip here!
("Mayoyao Tourism" on Facebook)
Cheers Mate tnx…
Great memories ..
Interesting to know... the male eels are sacrificed for their sperm sack. KD, sometimes us males can't just win, lol..
Hope you could climb Mt. AMUYAO from Barlig.
Salute to 🫡 Kumander Daot and the Tourism Department. What an educational content... Thank you for letting the world see the real beauty of the Philippines 🇵🇭
Beautiful presentation. Top notched vlogger! Thank you my friend for featuring our humble province including Ifugao. My mom and my relatives will definitely miss you. You got an Auntie in Isabela. We truly appreciate what you are doing. It gives us a chance to learn more about the Philippines and also showcases the beautiful characteristics of Filipino culture and that is their "happy and humble" nature. So much to appreciate about the Philippines! Thank you for sharing and definitely thank you for coming!
This is absolutely full of history most of us probably don’t even know. Thank you!
Again and again, you do not fail… you continue to do your homework in order for us to be better informed.
Your presentation is sooo unparalleled… You have once again( and again) raised the bar higher… exemplary , excellent! Kudos KD!
KD! This is another interesting docuvlog under ur belt. Raising eels from a scientific lab to the rice fields to the table is extremely resourceful. And i'm always amazed how the locals interact with you in English fluently and cordially. Seems like they want you to feel at home. Really love this kind of video. Keep up with the amazing job, sir!
I watched d video again, and I can't help but notice the lady ma'am, Detchie's assertive personality. She is very well spoken and charming. Kudos to her she's definitely an asset to the community 👏...
Wow Kumander, you have really left your Lilly a legacy to be so proud of your involvement of sharing the teaching of cultural Filipino traditions. TALLAGA !
Congratulation for the amazing video presentation you made it was so interesting and very educational learning about the japanese eel and also the drone view of one of the 7 wonders of the world.This kind of vlog will interest many filipinos who live abroad like me.Thank you my friend.
this vlog is really an eye opener. hope they can teach rice farmers all over the country esp in mindanao. food insecurity will be solved in a way. thanks KD for this vlog.
This is the first time that there is Mayoyao, courtesy of our favorite Vlogger, Anselm and immediately I am smiling because you just have to love and appreciate KD, he is so friendly and his attitude is just incredible and inspiring ❤❤❤ ❤❤🤪🤪🤪🤪⭐️⭐️⭐️
Kumader Daot, thank you for visiting our humbling place, you are always welcome
You do such a fantastic job of narration. This kind of thing is a calling. This series of isolated barangy is great. Loving it. Thank you Kummander❤
Beautiful places, beautiful views, beautiful history. Thanks for showing it to us we’re planning to visit there when I come home.
Had to laugh when the woman from the Mayoyao Tourism office joked that she made all the items in the tourism office that you liked there.😆🤣 Couldn't help but notice how beautiful she was. (I was smitten at first sight!😍🥰) This was such an informative vlog, KD. to the average person, finding out how Japanese eels are cultivated might not have seemed very interesting, but your interest and experience in fish ponds told you otherwise. Thanks for showing us all about this, and, of course, thanks for the local history lesson. I'm a sucker for WWII history, especially in the Philippines!🤙
whoa🤭 *on being smitten @firstsight, nyahahaaa..😬why that's my sweet friend Detchie over there! ohh, It's no surprise if you were attracted to the beauty that she is--as she is truly charming--a beautiful soul, indeed! 😍😍
Let me thank you for the compliment you gave to her btw! 🙏🏼 (was just scrolling on comments to see if she cudav dropped a line or two when i read yours wc happen to catch my fancy)🤭
I sure hope she'd see this, too! So she perchance would know how beautiful she truly is--both inside and out! 🥲
Cheers ✨💖
@@shinxified Thanks for your reply. I hope she sees this, too. Unfortunately, it seems too many Filipinas don't recognize their own beauty, which is a totality of their inner and outer beauty.
Your friend seems to be a truly sweet lady who comes across as a well educated, beautiful woman with a wonderful sense of humor. Your word "charming" to describe her suits her best.
If she is not already spoken for, I can't understand why. She would be a great catch for any man. I guess I'm having a kilig moment seeing her. 🥰🤭😅
I thought I was the only one who noticed her beauty until I saw this comment
@@albertdizon9660 Not a chance that you would be the only one. I would go to the PH just to meet her, and I bet others would, too. (They're just embarrassed to say so publicly.)
@@christopherturco197 i am pretty sure she'd be as gobsmacked as i am reading a reply here!😅
if she is not already spoken for, i don't understand why>> hmn, i guess bec it takes mightily courageous men/Menelaus to pursue some 'Helens of Troy' (of sorts) amongst us.🤭
i guess i'm having a kilig moment seeing her😍>> waaahaha..surely, this cud be another amusing topic for the nxt coffee date I'll have wid her in the nearest future!😬 (haha, sorry not sorry)!✌🏻
Your fans are impressed with your ability to bring Mayoyao on the screen to our Delights!!! Stunning views and you captured it thru your stunning drone shots and stunning, majestic green terraces equal to more traveled Banaue terraces!!’ WELL DONE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂
This was a fascinating video!💙
Very informative! Hope this video is shown in social studies classes in school.
Another great vlog by Kumander Daot .❤️ thank you
Watching your video first thing in the morning brightens my day. I believe the japanese eels were introduced before the WW2. Lots of Japanese worked as laborers and probably businessmen in the 30's. They provided the Intel they needed before invading.
Wow amazing showcases u have shown bradah..i wish i can travel with u..galing mo!.my fellow filipino bloggers never attemp those..parang mas pinoy kpa sa kanila panay pa cute na lang ginagawa samantalang ikaw mas maintindihan q pa ngaun pano nabubuhay ibang mga pinoy..salamat!!
You've come a long way, KD. and a Long way to go. We're with you all the way! 💪 DAOT NA!
The rice terraces are still the same as before. The walled steps from up the mountain going down is a very scenic view. But the place has more houses and buildings now. Hope the people continue to preserve this legacy.
Thank you Kumander Daot another epic documentary about our country history and letting the world 🌎 see.keep safe always in all your endeavors and Godbless brother 🙏💞💞💞🇯🇵🇵🇭
Amazing!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Mayoyao to me is the main jewel of The Cordilleras. Those Japanese eels are interesting but the Pigeon peas (Kardis or kadyos) is what I miss. Wholesome meal you had. So easy for every Filipino to understand your English pronunciations. Thanks for the education, KD.
I was so surprised to see the pigeon peas! Made me happy! Really such a jewel!
I was so pleasantly surprised that the Dept of Agriculture actually went out of their way to build and finance a Japanese eel breeding centre! Great work!
Another DAY with Kumander hi lovely people thank you for welcoming KD.
This is a very educational and entertaining video!!!!! MORE!!!!
Love this vlog! Teaching us history. Make more like this 🙌
Now this is vlogging. Exploration with education and information dissemination that helps promote locals livelihood
Thank you for the journey. Amazing content. Thank you once again for taking us to the roads less travelled. I love your journey. Pls. continue with these contents.
Another AMAZZING, educational, historical docu-vblog, Anselm!! Congratulations and THANK YOU!!👏👏👏
KD and Kulas's vlog are very impormative and educating, and its like your travelling also with them.. keep it up guys!! Rs always
Crisp editing and professionally done video!
What a beautiful mountain view 😮
@kumanderdaot there used to be lots of original old narra huts there before but it was burned down by the japanese in retaliation to an ambush by the locals , so to rebuild new huts the locals took narra wood from Lagawe area and other lowland areas
Best adventure/content creator/documentarian here in the PH! keep it up Anselm! you are doing great! :) GOD bless you
Quality content support from Japan to Mindanao 😂❤
Thank you KD you have highlighted their culture and the beauty of the place the tranquility and the natural landscape is amazing….I’m not promising but will my list to visit…
Hi Anselm. Nice videos of Cordilleras. Congrats on your vlogs. Was the Japanese eels good? It looked nice and crispy as u eat it. That technology of eel breeding and science should be preserved and promoted. Does it breed only in cold high places? In tagalog we call eels igat. Ugat in the Mayoyaos language?
Great + thanks do much for sharing this KD !! Definitely on my 'go-to' list ...
This is good documentary stuff. You’ve outdone yourself, KD.
Thanks do much for your extremely relevant content. Keep going strong.
the places in the northern part is one of the best for adventure like cycling or by motorcycle
WOW Natural Aquaponics!
Thank you sir for featuring our place
The best part of the adventure is tasting the local foods, with their unique recipes available in the area. 😆
We also catch those "YoYO or JoJo" in the mud ponds of carabao in La Trinidad, Benguet
WOW that red rice peas green leafy vegetables looks exquisite
Wow, thank you for featuring my home town, i saw my house.. 😂😊😊...Thank you
lots of rumors of “yamashita gold” in Ifugao. try passing by Batad rice terraces, hike through the terraces on the way to Tappiya waterfalls. bring some packed lunch with you and picnic there 😊
Treasure hunters damage some of the intricate stonewalls and stone pavements and stone seats in ifugao.
I visited my ancestral village and the beautiful stone pavrments and the the stone seats placed by my grandfather in his youth was broken by dynamite and turned over by some treasure hunters. It was beautifully arranged and made and it was within our ancestral house. They thought that some yamashita gold is burried beneath those beautifully made stone pavements and seats.
@@KnH07 that is so sad to hear. is there a legal recourse? lots of rumors of yamashita treasure even in remote islands in quezon province. and yes, digging holes in the ground. i find it ubsurd since they have no concrete historical facts.
The Best Documentary Vlog
Kumander D, please visit Hagpa in Impasug-ong Bukidnon. I google maps, the place also have a large rice terraces or vegetable terraces.
Amazing amazing scenery of mountains!!!♥️♥️♥️
U got us kumander…amazing episodes-very unique astonishing- Twas more on hands on than talking-keep it up
I'm really hoping your trip culminates in/includes Ilocos Norte - parts you missed last time; pagudpud - cagayan etc, cause IMO its a different feeling place altogether almost like a different country with whimsical weather matching the positive optimistic air of the landscapes. A lot of history as well. Also just "touristy" enough to prove how people all over the country really put it in their bucket list to make this trip to the ends of the country! Also I have very fond memories as a Kid visiting there, great beaches but most of all I love the atmosphere something you can't put into words. But that's just me. I guarantee you'll see a few interesting things a long the way
I want to go up there for a good month soon. It won't be this trip because I've got other plans, but definitely want to go there!
@@KumanderDaot Fair enough!! Okay Im excited for that haha! And thanks. Please enjoy and take time man! You're really raising the bar 🍻
Awesome vlog Mate... in a future after here in Perth dreaming to travel on that place... in Gods Grace....Cheers K.D
Thanks for visiting our homeland:)
I have seen Mayoyao terraces on a cold week in January. The rice terraces are breathtaking. You can actually go down the terraces to experience the trek from up the Municipal Hall to down near the creek. There are native huts that you pass along the way downhill. People should see this place because it will be a different experience for them. YOu are tight Kumander D for coming to this place so that many people will appreciate it. Thank you.
Thank you, Kumander for the educational video. You are the best !!😍😍🤩🤩
Enjoy and be safe KD😘🙏
Mayoyao is amazing. All I ever know about rice terraces are about Banawe and Batad. Will definitely check out Mayoyao once I get to ride again.
Nice vlogs very educational thing, go go go dont stop discovering. God bless.
That lady looking for KULAS, while KULAS vlog is looking for KD, its a vice versa.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Yes, besides the grass, the most significant predator is the golden snail, which can eat the young roots of the rice plants and it can destroy a large area overnight.
Love this video
Very interesting content! I am always fascinated by how and why things are done in the Philippines.
We used to catch yoyo,or kaling in Sagada during my childhood,bring it home and cook it with rice wine,we call it SABENG..Masarap..🙃
Cooking with rice wine is SIGTIM yata, sabali gamin ti sabeng ti ammok☺️
@@almha9593 ah wen gayan,sabeng is another dish from Bauko,made of small crabs..Its Sigtim,rice wine and jojo..Tnx.🙃
Sabeng is traditional suka, the one made of small crabs is baklay😁
Imagine they built all this stone wall just using their hands 🙌
In the early days, the stone walls (in tagalog, Pilapil) were merely coated with mud, relying on sunny days to fully set and become sturdy. However, this method proved to be unsustainable, as it easily deteriorated during the rainy season. As a result, they came up with the idea of using concrete.
Thank you KD! Very informative!!!
You are such a lovely soul, KD! This was a wonderful vlog, informative and beautiful landscape. Lol, stick to your Western finger food but the local food seems to be more healthy 😂😊
Galing Naman!I'm from.ifugao but since 1998 my last visit to mayayao the road is scary and on going construction before,now it's concrete na pala..thank you nasilip k ang mayayao through your blogs .keep safe always

@kumanderdaot Hungduan is also stone walled. i used to go around those areas (banaue, hungduan, mayoyao, aguinaldo, tinoc) when it is still rough road way back in 1995-96
majestic views
