- Negros Occidental is an ultimate food destination for those who want to experience eating the best of the Philippines. The island is known as the Sugar Capital of the Philippines where you can find the best restaurants and the most beautiful heritage homes that have been passed down for many generations.
In our last video for our Western Visayas series, we’re going to talk about the heirloom ingredients of Negros like Batwan (Garcinia binucao), the rare Criollo Cacao, the healthy Tinigib Corn (White Visayan Corn), and Kalingag (Philippine Cinnamon). We think that each of these ingredients deserve to be used more in our kitchens and should be appreciated here and abroad for generations to come. Get to know how these heirloom ingredients can a significant role in the food industry in the Philippines now!
Note:
1:09 - Negros Occidental is one of the 6 provinces of Region VI.

I know I am not the only one who thinks this --- that we're so lucky to be able to watch this kind of quality content for free!
This channel is so underrated
3.31M subs is not underrated.
@@kenji_chuait is underrated in contrast to those nonsense RUclipsrs channels (doing pranks and full of gossips in their channel)
I felt teary sa vision ni Kuya Chris. For someone who had proven himself and his product, he could just capitalize it and be rich..But no, He want to share it for the Philippines. We need more people like you Kuya Chris.
Thank you very much FEATR.
This is what we really need a relevant and impactful content that showcases our very own local heirloom recipes.
Maraming salamat po, FEATR ! It was a pleasure meeting and working with your team. They were very respectful and culturally sensitive. We are truly grateful for your feature of the PH cinnamon, our natural gem. We are glad that more Filipinos will know of it, plant, use, and protect it. 'Ika nga, mahalin ang sarling atin. Dagdagan ko lang po, "Mahalin ang sariling ating yaman."
Mabuhay po tayong lahat! 🇵🇭 🌳
😮 Wow seriously extinct cacao haha
Thank you mam sa pagbuhay at pagpapakilala sa amin ng ating yaman - Kalingag (cinnamon) Isa po ako sa mahilig sa cinnamon. Ngayon ko lang po nalaman na meron tayo sa Negros madalas po sa grocery ako nakakabili at minsan nagorder po ako sa shoppee yung Ceylon Cinnamon na mas original or healthier po according sa akin nabasa. Subalit ako po ay namangha at napasaya sa palabas na ito sapagkat gusto ko din pong matikman ang ating sariling philippine cinnamon... Maraming Salamat po FEATR sa pagpapalabas nyo ng makasaysayang informasyon tungkol sa iba't ibang yaman na pananim sa ating bansa:) Nawa mas marami po ang mag invest sa farming:) dito sa ating bansa:) GOD bless us all always:)🙏
Cultivate the cacao branches, everyone wants a cacao tree literally to have a group buy the seeds to increase production of chocolate.
@@LeekeRamosit's easy not to see when you don't look at the supply and prices worldwide.
Anu po yung 7 species niyo ng kalingag na na mention niyo po? Para ma clarify if anu yung 7 na species.
The Philippines was also the number one exporter of vanilla before Fiji, Madagascar and other countries became more progressive in producing vanilla. We have the best variety of vanilla beans specially in mindanao.
Sigh. It makes me sad how so many countries have overtaken us, because we simply don't get enough help in promoting local industries.
Not just vanilla, cacao, or cinnamon. But we were also top producers of coffee, abaca, edible seaweed, coconut, banana, pineapple, mango, etc. But now, other countries have claimed the top spots. Not to mention the things we inherited from the galleon trade or are native. Like labuyo peppers, guavas, guyabano, durian, lanzones, calamansi, etc., all of which remain underdeveloped, while in other nearby countries, they're putting out export quality goods.
We are very rich not only In culture but the environment itself so rich . We just need to educate farmers more or the Filipino community to learn more how to nourished more the treasure we have.
@@jacobtimothyvlog3628 The prevailing mindset of our boomer generation is that imported = good. That's why we've basically thrown away all our local industries and tried to copy what other countries have, meanwhile, other countries are basically stealing the industries we've thrown away. Like the video Featr did on calamansi and ube.
Every time I go to a market or a farm, everyone is so proud to show their imported produce. All the trendy food are foreign, from Laksa to Samgyeupsal to Boba to Banh Mi. As if it's something to be proud of.
There's more. Rattan was one of our major exports in the past (now it's mostly Indonesia), buntal hats (which ironically have become known as "Bangkok hats" and are now made in China), coconut milk should have been one of our major exports (now Thailand got that too), carabao mangoes (Mexico took that), abaca (Costa Rica took that), liberica coffee (Indonesia took that), lacatan bananas (the name itself was taken and applied to a different cultivar by South American plantations), heirloom rice and corn (now almost gone, while everyone is using imported jasmine rice from Thailand; and putu bumbong is just using food coloring nowadays), native Camiguin lanzones (now being replaced by imported larger duku and longkong varieties), native Davao durian (now being replaced by imported Malaysian cultivars), native santol (long since replaced by the giant Bangkok santol), siling labuyo (in Luzon, it has been almost completely replaced with Thai and Taiwanese bird's eye chili that are mislabeled as "labuyo"), sago/tapioca pearls that we've traditionally used (now taken by the Taiwanese and called "boba"), hotdog waffles (now taken by the Thais and claimed as their street food), glutinous corn (now claimed by the Chinese, when it likely first developed here, mais pilit is considered indigenous, since corn was introduced to us first in Asia), nata de coco (now taken by Thailand for the drink Mogu Mogu), sea grapes (now taken by Okinawa, Japan), ylang-ylang (now produced almost exclusively by the Comoros Islands)....
And what do we have left that no one else will touch? Grilled balut and 1-day old chicks. smh
@@AngryKittensonly our collective sighs can be heard! our government would never give efforts to such things as OURS… They wouldn’t get kickbacks unless THINGS are imported!
@@jacobtimothyvlog3628Simply educating farmers will not solve the problem. In reality, our typical farmer is uneducated not only in farming but also in entrepreneurship. If we really want our country to excel in exporting, we need to encourage and promote investments in agriculture. It’s usually the investors who knows how to make something into a larger scale.
Back then, it was very typical for every household in Negros to have this kind of crops/plants. I remember to have a lot of fruit-bearing trees around out 300sqm property. From corn, batwans, and varieties of cacaos; it was sustainable and abundant. My father was always into planting, and he taught me that if you will plant today, you will feed the future.
Negros Occidental is a gem in the Visayas. ♥️ I hope the LGU would continue to uphold our eco-tourism and support to local farmers.
May I know exact address and contact number of the creolo cacao farmer. I am interested to plant your cacao var in our farm in Quezon province. Thanks
Mila Lopez
The government should support these farmers the Philippines is so blessed to have these kinds of products. These can boost the Phillipine economy.
Napakayaman talaga ng bansa natin. Sana magising na ang lahat.
I was glad to hear our Pinoy cousins give credit to the Aztecs and Mayans for their heritage cacao. Cacao and vanilla came to the Philippines from Mexico, as well as people and genes. Salamat Po.
Erwan, you and the whole team deserve an award...
Agree. Erwan's team is highly qualified for investigative or developmental journalism accolade
His attitude of wanting to spread the cultivation of the 'Criollo' cultivar across the country is impressive. I hope more farmers listen to him.
My grandparents used to cultivate cacao for making tablea. Pre-WW2. Given that their cacao plants weren't imported, I have a strong suspicion that they were also descendants of the Spanish-introduced cultivars. There are some surviving plants in our property, but we don't farm cacao anymore. I'm curious now what they are.
I hope you can contact the criollo farmer in this video and find out what cacao your grandparents were growing! I am also curious.
Kudos to whomever came up with this concept!! Now, everyone, let's have our thinking caps on and work together to get these heirloom ingredients more accessible with the environmental implications in mind!
This is one of the reasons why I love Featr so much. Yung mga ganitong content is so hard to comeby. It makes you rethink our food history and culture!
One thing a lot of people don't know: before laurel leaves were imported in bulk in the modern era, the "dahon paminta"/"bay leaves" that we used locally (for adobo, etc.) was actually a species of cinnamon native to the Philippines - _Cinnamomum burmanni._ They are still sold in some local markets as "dahon paminta". I do not know if it is included in the common name "kaningang"/"kalingag" though.
Hello po! Some scientists refer to _C. burmanii_ as synonymous to _Cinnamomum mindanaense_ , while some scientists say they are 2 different species. I've smelled and tasted both, and they do smell and taste the same, except that their leaves totally look different.
@@HomeOrganicPHPlantsvilleHealth According to Plants of the World Online which is pretty much the main database used by botanists today, _C. mindanaense_ is indeed a synonym of _C. burmanni,_ synonymized in 1999 by R. Govaerts.
_Cinnamomum_ leaves tend to be highly variable in shape and venation even within a species, probably dependent on factors like soil type, access to sun, etc.. And different species look similar enough that they can be mistaken for each other. AFAICT, the main diagnostic criteria for identification of _CInnamomum_ species are the flower and fruit morphology, not the leaves. Maybe a future genetic study can ascertain whether _C. minanaense_ is indeed a separate species.
Bay laurel is native to the Mediterranean region but now widely cultivated in other regions of the world. In ancient Greece the wreath of honour placed upon the heads of heroes was made from the leaves and branches of bay laurel. Bay laurel grows 6-18 metres (20-60 feet) tall.
Bay leaves are endemic to the Asia Minor region of the Middle East along the coast of what is now Turkey. The tree was discovered by the Ancient Greeks over 3,000 years ago and was brought back to Greece and Rome for cultivation.
its native to middle east and Europe. long before philippines. had it. came from greece mainly.
@@jorgeiv804 _Cinnamomum_ is NOT bay laurel ( _Laurus nobilis_ ). Did you even read what I wrote? You certainly didn't understand it.
Thank you, Featr, for opening eyes to how the Philippines is an agricultural gold mine. Thank you also to those who take risks in preserving these heirloom ingredients.
Thank you for your appreciation of our social business to save the PH cinnamon.
Thank you, Mr. Erwan Heussaff, for bringing awareness to us Filipinos on the indigenous agricultural products we have in our Lupang Hinirang. This kind of content is as close to what the National Geographic presents in their channel. Kudos to you and your team!
Excellent video!! As a Fil-Am who moved to the US years ago as a young adult, learning about these heirloom ingredients and indigenous produce makes me feel warm inside and strengthens my connection with the Motherland. It really defies space and time. I look forward to searching for the final products that were sourced from the soil of our ancestral land.

This is such a gold content, It makes you feel proud to be a Filipino..the Philippines is indeed very rich!
This makes me tear up. It makes me really proud to be Filipino
Same here po. For Philippine cinnamon alone, we have 19-21 species! The Philippines is a mega diverse country, ibig sabihin, maraming yaman tayo na sa atin lang makikita. Let's keep on knowing and protecting them.
@@HomeOrganicPHPlantsvilleHealthyeah we are abundant yet those greedy people won't let PH Boom as a country. We always regressed as 3rd world country. Esp the USA and China Government are bunch of jealous 1st world country. They won't let us grow as a Country. They preferred us to be a small one ! Never ever grow as a big shots.
Why you proud? We can’t even capitalize on such gems in our country. It makes me tear up too but with regret over missing opportunities. But I’m proud of these Filipinos for fighting despite all odds. God bless them and their efforts!
Please give some time to watching and listening to the video series Solomon's Gold by the God Culture group. The series give proof of how our archipelago is really ground zero for the Biblical creation. And that our bloodline started with the story of Ophir and his brothers. Yahuah Elohim bless.
I live in Negros Occidental and I didn't know about this. I only know we have batuan. Thanks for sharing and featuring Negros Occidental in you vlog. It's really a treasure ❤
I was born and raised in bacolod but now im living in manila for 12 years, when I arrived here in manila and I wanted to cook "pinaksiyu" a sour fish stew from my province I cant find any batwan from the local market and it feels like i'm no longer in the Philippines. Hope batwan will be abundant all over the country with this program.
Love Chocolate in the Philippines! Love the people of the Philippines! We just booked our flight to the Philippines for Christmas! Excited!
Thank you I learned new things today. My family had rice farms but the younger generation was not interested at all. With shows like yours it makes us wiser about our rich motherland.
My grandfather has lots of Criolla Cacao that he grew when I was a small child in Isabela. Sometimes when he take he’s afternoon nap me and my cousins take Cacao and eat fresh ,it’s sweet and when he learned that we took and eat we were scolded a lot because it is rare ! Now I don’t think we still have that because when he passed away almost all his beautiful flowers ,trees and plants died like they lose their Master 😢
Thank you, Mr. Erwan Heusaff and FEATR team for featuring my Home, Bago... madamu guid nga salamat! Proud Bagonhon here...
Philippines, the land of gold indeed! Another good feature and knowledge for everyone back home, and around the globe to get inspired by 👍
Sigurado ako, meron kami Criollo Variety na yan, i'll check again sa bukid ng lolo. Sipsip kami ng mga pinsan ng Cacao, back in the days.
Goosebumps ako hearing the potential of this cacao. Gumagawa din kami ng Tablea.
Thank you for this very inspiring, educational and beautiful video.
I always love watching your vlog because your content is not only informative but very heartwarming too! It’s gives me so much pride and excitement knowing Philippines (Negros in particular💚) had all these heirloom gems! Another job well done Erwan and team!!!
Thank you Erwan, always for a very awesome and culturally enriched content. We Filipinos should be proud of our local produce. And once again, welcome to Negros.
Thank you for this. Please don’t stop featuring every corner of the Philippines.
the passion for their trade shines thru when they were telling their stories ♥
Tablas Island in Romblon Province has Batwan and we also use it in our cooking.
I think my grandparents planted few trees of criollo cacaos before. I remember how I used to nibble the fruits when its ripe. Unfortunately it was cut down because nobody really cares about it. This content really help to learn our heirloom plants.
Erwan is erwan, well researched, well narrated, well documented ❤
A few months back Iloilo, ngayon Negros naman. Thanks Feater! Thanks for featuring Western Visayas! Nakaka proud maging Ilonggo.
Negrense Lang Kay Hindi lahat Ng Negros Occidental ilongo
Such impressive content. I was born and raised in Negros Occidental and it such heart warming to see this. Just to clarify that batuan can also be found in other places in Negros Island.
Batwan is part of my childhood memory every summer vacation. Meron pong puno ng batwan sa lupa ng papa ko sa Camarines Sur. When I was kid (later of 80-90's), ito ung nilalagay ni mama n pampaasim sa ulam namin. Hindi ko ito makakalimutan as a child kasi sa ilalim ng puno ng batwan ako nakakita ng malaking sawa na dumaan ilang inches lang sa kinakatayuan ko. Nang ako'y mag work sa Manila (mid 2000's) at kumain sa Bacolod Inasal, dun lng ako ulit nakatikim nito. Hanggang memory n lng ngayon plus this video 😊
Oo mga kababayan sa Negros... kailangan natin yan...we need God‘s NATURAL FOOD... LALO NA NOW there‘s Scarcity... if only we can help you there... we need people like you... GO GO GROW GROW NATURAL...
MR ERWAN HUSAFF.....IS ONE OF THE BEST VLOGGER MARAMI KANG MATUTUNAN SA KANYANG MGA VLOGS....KEEP IT UP.TAKE CARE AND GOD BLESS!!!
Hoping that video/documentary will become an eye opener to all farmers in the country. Thank you Feater for featuring my home province "Negros". Truly Philippines is rich, it is just a matter of how we will preserve and make use of what we have.
This channel is so underrated! 😢
Happy and Proud born from Negros ,,pls.protect our Farming.
We also have balimbing, guyabano, wild berries even malunggay(its oil, flower and leaves) and other grasses that have nutritional and medicinal value. They all need to be discover and find their place in the industry. The Philippines is literally sitting on a pot of Gold. I hope our government will also give research on this. If cultivated and process, find its place in the industry, all these natural resources will help alleviate poverty, create more works and develop the Filipinos way of living🙏🙏🙏
Wow! Loved this episode, I wish the local schools would educate the students about the local plants and their uses to appreciate them... There seems to be so much to offer from the PI, from plants to animals from land and sea. So much to treasure but yet to be rediscovered across the archipelago...
We also used to farm Visayan white corn (mais puti, or tinigib). So did most farmers in our province. As well as other native cultivars like glutinous corn (mais pilit). Because they were a staple in the highlands, eaten in place of and is cheaper than rice. They have a neutral flavor, very similar to white rice. I remember helping manually remove corn kernels from corn cobs and saving the oddly-colored kernels that show up every now and then. They were gem-like when held against the sun, ranging from dark blue to orange to red, purple, or black (weirdly enough, yellow was the rarest color) . And every now and then, you get a corncob that was like a patchwork of colors. Or have kernels that are entirely one color. They're rare now. Replaced by high-yield yellow GMO corn.
White corns and yellow corns including Cacaos are common in Mindanao together with Coconut and Bananas.
I am from Negros Oriental I planted hybrid cacao last year ❤ when I was in vacation. Good to know there's other variety.
I tasted this batwan susong dalaga variety when I was in elementary (2007-2009)
Mabuhay Negros
This is really informative! I want to try the kalingag on a cinnamon roll! The only thing holding these crops is the market and the knowledge of the Filipinos about them; farmers are already doing their part in preserving and promoting them. I hope that more people will watch this channel and help spread this treasure. Thanks for these types of contents!
I think it's really the story of these communities coming together and rediscovering the richness of their culture that made me rethink too ano ba ang meron sa bakuran namin that's worth rediscovering. =)
I love the growth this channel has come to. The edits are top notch! Well deserved award Mr. and team!
I think another Filipino heirloom when it comes to Filipino culture is our Pili Nut...Hope it'll be known like the Ube around the world in the coming years.
I LOVE PILI NUTS! I could eat 3-5 kgs in one sitting..NO JOKE, if it wasn't so expensive I'd buy kgs of it. Sadly, where I live they.dont grow.
Do you know where I can get more info about growing pili?
My favorite nut in the whole universe.
For me you are one of the most admirable people who cares so much the Philippines 🇵🇭 and that love❤. I really appreciate you and your creativity in your videos. I learned so much about the richness of my own country that I’m so proud of and hoping someday everyone will appreciate it and be satisfied. As a Filipino I am so grateful to be a Pilipino who loves so much my country and love to all mankind as our Creator wants us to be ❤❤❤. Thank you Erwan! Keep up the good work!
Keep up the good work to our real heroes, to our local farmers, and agri communities. Mabuhay! All the best 👏👏👏
Mayaman tlga ang ating bansa❤❤❤ sa spices and beaches pa lang maipagmamalaki na ang Pilipinas❤❤❤. Nawa mas marami pang kagaya nio po ang magpakilala ng ating produkto sa ibang lahi. God bless u all 🙏
My parents are slowly transitioning from sugarcane farming to permaculture in negros occidental. I'm going to suggest to them to plant these. Thank you.
corporate greed led to high breed unhealthy farming. salute to you sir for preserving it.
WOW! what an excellent feature of Negros Island!
Very well presented. You always capture the essence of the story and give your audience the perspective of what it is like to be in the real world. Well done. I always enjoy your videos.
My grandfather used to make fresh chocolate using this ingredient and we still have the trees here in QC at our backyard. 😁
how awesome to have enough land in QC to maintain cacao trees
@@oxoelfoxo yup yup we have 3 trees of cacao here in our tennis court. Hehe
Kaya pala masarap ang luto ng nanay ko dati,di na kagaya ngayon.at lagi naming bina balik-balikan ang mais sa bayan ng Ilog(kalapit ng kabankalan),kasi may something na iba at masarap ang lasa...whhoooo ngayon alam ko na.salamat Sir erwan..
That's our favorite "pampa-asim". We have four trees of Batuan in our property here in Masbate, two of them have two bodies with one set of roots😊.
I'm lucky that I have bagolan batwan and kalingag in my backyard. Thanks for the info❤
true, that variety of cacao can be seen at the backyard of houses here Capiz. It's very delicious and aromatic. sad to say because of lack of Information and Gov't. support there was no industry and local people or farmers just take it for granted. thanks for featuring this i hope this could trigger the interests of local farmers and the industry
What I missed in Negros is batoan amazing fruit that makes your soup sour yet refreshing better than sinigang mix.. That corn is the sweetest corn I've ever taster for my whole life.
I remember eating the cacao flesh and setting aside the seeds for drying under the sun. We made our own version of chocolate, sadly later we had to cut down the trees because the alingayo favored living in these trees. Alingayo are nasty, stinging and very hard to kill type of insects. A lot of children can seriously get hurt from their sting.
All I can say is that Negrosanons really love batwan!!!
I remember a famous riddle was made by the elderly back then and it goes like this:
"There are a lot of trees in the forest, but one (batwan) is the best.
Then the kids would try to guess what tree it was even if the answer was already obvious hahaha.
Batuan is also available in Ticao Island in Masbate...also used as souring ingredient of the locals
Another amazing and very informative content from @featrmedia !!! For quite some time I've been wondering why the Philippines doesn't grow cinnamon when most of those in the market are from our neighboring countries. It's with mixed emotions to learn that we have our very own species of cinnamon--elated and proud but at the same time sad because we're so behind in its cultivation...in fact, we barely know about it. But kudos to FEATR for bringing out this awareness and to the all the farmers (of batwan, criollo cacao, tinigib corn, and kalingag) who perseveres to make all these prosper. May you all reap beyond what you sow!!!
We can still definitely catch up po. As for us, we went straight into distillation and developed totally new products to move away from the pack of cinnamon bark producing countries. Ours is a natural minty cinnamon, which is a very unique mixture. Imagine, minty is cool/refreshing while cinnamon is warm. Our products (as presented) harness this unique quality of the PH cinnamon.
@@HomeOrganicPHPlantsvilleHealth That's very encouraging to know. I'll be subscribing to your account to learn more about our very own cinnamon...and with the hope that one day I'd be able to try it.
@@S2creatorr Maraming salamat po!
proud to be a Negrense! Thank you FEATR for featuring Negros

One of the best episodes so far, ❤
Yesss! Thank you for this!!! I love this kind of videos! 😢😮❤🎉🎉
Wow simply an eye opener. Good job on this content. Thank you!
Glad to know of this plant and its products
I remember years ago we used to put "batuan" as we spell it, in our paksiw. It can also be an ingredient to sinigang. As a kid we used to eat it as is with salt just like balimbing.
I love cacao. When I was a kid, we have 5 or more trees of cacao in our yard. Our aunties make a tablea chocolate. I missed it so much.
Ang Ganda Ng channel, nawa may makabayan din Ang maraming Pilipino
Thank you Mr.Erwan.So glad to watch this wonderful show.
salamat! I feel even more connected with my heritage
Extremely interesting video. Thank you
Very informative video’s love it Thanks
I admire the producer of videos like this. Keep up the good work!

Greeting from Negros Occidental locals
Thank u FEATR ang dami kung natutunan sa episode na ito,,,
Yan po pampaasim nmn sa province esp sa sinigang…sobrang asim po
WOW!MABUHAY PILIPINAS ❤GOD BLESS
we got 2 batwan trees here at home.. at mag sasawa talaga kayo sa hitik na hitik na bunga halos 5 14 litres na balde punong puno kada harvest o bunga nyan. . pumipili ung batwan kung san sila kusa sisibol.. mahirap to patubuin if wala kang green thumb..
Thanks for sharing this with us. Napaka-informative ng video.
I really enjoyed watching this episode. Learning new things about our country truly makes me happy. Keep it up, FEATR!
I hope our heirloom ingredients would not disappear and be promoted more and be accepted not only domestically but gain international recognition. Not only in Negros but we have a lot in the Philippines and not uncovered yet. Through you videos you have already promoted some of them but there are still a lot. Kudus to you, your videos and to your team. I hope you have more videos to produce in the future.
Hello po. We are happy to share that the Philippine cinnamon coco sugar is now available at US Amazon, and with distributor in LA, and soon, in Florida. Filipinos from other countries are inquiring how to distribute, too.
Many thanks on this video.
