MY FIRST LECHON + Taking a Life 😣| Filipino food vlog | MINDANAO Philippines
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 июл 2018
- Filipino food is very diverse. From the street food in Manila, to the seafood on the coast, there's one food that wins the contest for most filipino of them all. When you travel Philippines, you see Lechon everywhere.
I had never had this Iconic Pinoy food yet, and while travelling Mindanao with the fighter boys, a unique opportunity came our way.
Becoming Filipino, Daniel Marsh, Finn Snow, and Bret Maverick and I were in Marihatag in Surigao del Sur. There was a little local festival happening and a lechon was going to be prepared, and if we wanted, we could slaughter the pig.
This immediately polarized the group. Killing animals for fun is wrong and immoral, no one wants to watch it, let alone do it.
But... Every time we choose to eat meat. A steak, a piece of fried chicken, a hotdog, an animal dies. Some of these animals live happy lives where they are free to roam, and others live horrible lives inside filthy cages. If we eat fast food, we promote this terrible way of treating life, if we eat lechon (or hunt) we promote the first way, the natural and free way. So then which is worse?
Either way, an animal lives and dies to feed another animal. If you choose to eat meat, shouldn't you understand this? Shouldn't you put the connection of a life to your choice? Bacon is not a vegetable, but it's treated that way when we buy it in the supermarket. Shouldn't we think about it differently?
These were all the questions ringing through my head, and this is why I chose to do it. To understand the consequences of eating meat, and to help guide my future decisions. The question I have for you is, what would you do?

✯ Experiences over Possessions ✯
Do you agree with what I did? If not, Why? 😕
More BTS footage here: www.patreon.com/fearlessandfar
i agree with you mik-mik, in the old days everyone butchers their own meat, so it's not a big deal. anyway i'm looking forward to your skylab vlog.
Respect to you mike!
Fearless & Far.. I agree with you man. Growing up I seen this done plenty of times and even helped in cleaning the pig and the inners. I think this why I respect food the way I am now due to these experiences. And very true, I know a lot of meat eaters but couldn't even stand watching the pigs head. How irony life is to some.. I know it's hard for you to do it, and you deserve great RESPECT for it. Only the brace ones actually face this..
You ate a chicken a beef a pork its the same as you did on your video.As long as it is not a HUMAN😂😂😂.A real fighter is someone who fought or fight. #FighterBoys MIK MIK
Agree,... I only killed a chicken before, for adobo🙂
I Respect this so much Mike!!!! This was an amazing learning curve for us all.
99 percent of people will never understand the true meaning of what you must do to have an animal from its pure form, later on ending up on your own dinner plate.
For those of you that don't agree with what Mike did I suggest you stop eating bacon and anything else that comes from a pig :)
Proud of you on this one MikMik 👏👏
Bret Maverick Lechon is so good lol the people that don’t understand probably eat hotdogs without a care
Bret Maverick yeah your 101% right bit bit...😉🤔
Nice vedio..am from bislig city
Jade Barao at exactly. hotdogs came from meat too. Haha!
Get over it!!!
Something you said in Kulas previous vlog that stuck with me, and I think fits with this experience...”It’s not about being fearless. It’s about feeling the fear, and walking fearlessly towards it. Knowing that if you feel that fluttering in your chest, you’re only becoming a better person”...It really stuck with me and how I’ll see further experiences. I’ve experienced it myself my first trip to the Philippines( I’m half Filipino/White) to visit my family in Pampanga and I was asked to kill and butcher a goat. I had that same feeling in my chest and I feel it made us better people. Not to say we’re better than anyone else, but better versions of ourselves. We grew a fonder appreciation for what we grew up not thinking much about. You’re awesome man. I loved this vlog.
Well said.
Nailed it!
"not about being fearless. It's about feeling the fear" whoa. Nice one.
What about the fear that goat felt before you killed it?
I totally agree with you bro.
Im a chef..
I really appreciate that you mentioned how we the Filipinos respect the food that's why we never waste any single piece of an animal or meat..
You did great Mike. . 😊
At a young age, my dad taught me the same lesson.. he made me watch a pig being prepared for my graduation dinner. He taught me that I should always respect the food on the table because it costs a life.
Thanks for being open minded and brave enough to do this, Mike. You are indeed fearless and far 😉
for us the "pig cutting" was the time of the year when it got cold, the family go together and we processed a whole live pig. This was our method of preparing fat, ham, salami, sausage ettc for many montths afterwards. Never thoughtz of it as cruel thing since this is what we had adn we had to eat. Also it was very fun as a famiuly gathering, spiced witth morning drunkness. Oh and the youngest family member ( as soon as they can stand/walk) had to hold the pig's tttail while it was being killed as a symbol of the youngest can hold tthe biggest power and opportunite. Also back in the days no guns or electrocute, the biggest fam member had to "rodeo" the pig while it was bleeding out. Tthose MFs can be strong and hard to deal with.
@@berniasd012 No no much though here at all
@@whiteleopard1713 come again? :D dont understand what you are saying
I'm a native from Canada and we are taught this also. Always respect the animal you are eating.
Wonderful honest vlog. If people agree or not it is not important. It is your journey and your call. The most important thing is that you are sincere and respectful.....thanks for sharing.
Respect to you mike. If the animals gave up their life for us, we should appreciate it and not waste. Life is hard. Give and take. Appreciate and be thankful.
But the animal didn't gave up its life, no one asked it. The humans took the animal's life.
Ever seen a Slaughter house. Way more disturbing than what I just saw
If you eat meat, then you need to experience how it is to take a life. You will never take your meals for granted if you do so. When I killed my first chicken, it did not make me vegan but it made me respect the animal that gave up its life for my nourishment.
You're so right, but smushing an ant is very different, I mean it's still a creation from God. Big or small, all living things have a purpose. #RespectLife
So true. I've killed multiple chickens back in my home province and it just made me appreciate the animals that provice us with meat even more. For sure, we didn't waste any parts, even the head and intestines which we grilled.
Me too. When i killed my first chicken i thank God for giving us meat to eat. (I love meat)
Very true... I love meat but when you get to see the whole process for yourself it’s so much different you appreciate more .
Even fishes are meat.
Ps. Thanks for waking me up 😂😑😴
wahahah he surely did bret!
Bret Maverick you were pissed! 😂😂😂
Haha
They should have use water to wake u up instead of tickeling u😂😂😂peace🤣🤣🤣
hahaha
I am a Filipino and I appreciate you of embracing our culture
Now you learned the most valuable lesson in life. Respect.
Hahaha aww buddy this was quite the experience.
Yeah man. Missing it all already!
Daniel Marsh 😍😍
Daniel Marsh watching your video
Hello daniel
U naughty haha bit bit have a nice dream almost kiss his bride haha 😂 then u there like night mare haha
For all its worth, what you had experience was more “humane” . In the provinces, animals for food are kept and treated more humane, they roam freely, they are fed naturally. I have seen you tube videos here in the US where slaughter houses prepare pig, chicken or cows in a more brutal and insensitive ways, where employees make fun of them, kick them, throw or slam them before killing them the right way. It is better to know how your food was prepared wether it is meat or vege. I eat meat and I learned how to prep live chicken was when i was 13 or 14. I felt the same way like you, but like you said. “I have to do it.” I learned how to appreciate and be thankful and not to waste resources.
This is a great comment. Thank you so much for posting. It’s exactly how I feel.
LovesCherylBlossom yap and they get paid lots of $$$$$ for killing his precious pig he’ll be ok my friend
Exactly. These people take pride in the animal they cook. And they make the animal a part of their feast for their friends. Mabuhay!!!!!
I respect how you were feeling, but our ancestors did it and like you said nothing goes to waste. Id much rather kill an animal for food and to survive rather than use it for a purse, or a coat.
Still the same bro, you just sell it to survive.
All of our ancestors killed… but now we just rely on a few factory workers
i get you Mike... i feel the same every time i see people preparing lechon...my highest respects to you man
I had my first kill when i was 12 it was a chicken. And my mom’s rules are:
Prepare everything you need.
Don’t let any other animals witness the kill.
Be quick. Don’t let the animal suffer.
Use as much of it as possible.
Never waste food.
Appreciate life and thing that you have.
chinee desabille wow..so true
chinee desabille , your mom was wise to impart those rules to you🙏
same for me.. and it actually takes a lot of skill.. from slaughtering to butchering and prepping to get the most out of the animal..
Same, but I was 6. The fun part tho is chasing the headless chicken. The #1 rule is that we can't eat unless we participate in the cooking. No part left unused (even the feathers are washed, dried and stuffed on the pillows). Last rule, no remains on the plate. 😥
I have my 1st kill when I was 12 and I make it quick execution but the prey is still alive for 10mins. I chopped the duck head by bolo knife but it doesn't dies easily
More than anything, I think we have to respect the fact that in countries like the Philippines, food is respected. Nothing (or little) is wasted as you have stated, since each part of the animal is prepared and eaten. While in America, food wastage is so common. You have a lot of food prepared and thrown away easily by people because everything is in excess (whether meat or even vegetables). So my issue is not so much the killing but the waste knowing there are millions of people dying due to hunger.
exactly. I agree with you.
baddog its mostly because people on the west arent that appreciative about the food they eat while in 3rd world countries, food is held of high importance because of the lower standard of living.
Denn O Saur 3rd world? Labelling one country as 3rd or 1st or no class is rudeness.
Irene Reyes are you that dumb that emotions takes over your intellect. Yes, we are a 3rd world developing country and if you don't know what that even means then you can start googling on how countries are classified. Dumb bitch.
Irene Reyes no such thing as "no class". That's rude? Well fuck your feelings then.
I am starting to love and respect this guy. He has actually a big anf warm heart for every living things. His respect and openness with other country/tribe's culture. This is actually the real meaning of travelling. You don't just travel to give us the picture of the place's beauty. You are giving us the information and it is interesting. More adventure to come Man! I am just one of your subscribers that making me feel that "Finally, somebody is living my dream". Kuddos!
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 good job mike... we Filipino respect you..
great vid..as a pinoy, when you slaughter animals, you will be appreciative of the meat, that nothing will be wasted. and you yourself knew where your food came from.. congratulations Mik-mik👏👏💢🎉🎊
I think that is the best way. A life should be appreciated.
too much hypocrisy in the comment.
you people eat bacon, steak, burgers and hotdogs. where do you think they came from?
he already explain it in the video but some of you didn't understand it entirely.
you want to keep your hands clean thinking that the meat you eat doesn't come from a creature with life, well your whole life is a life.
atleast he shown his respect to the animal he killed by cooking and eating all of its parts and nothing goes to waste.
* lie
👍🏼
pig and all animal is forbidden to eat.. choose vegan instead
+Kiki well sorry. im not vegan. and never will be.
Kiki eating pig and other animals are not forbidden. The vegan only think that way
First time I watched your video., Instantly, you got my attention I'm now one of your many subscribers. This country has many to offer beyond unimaginable, we're not perfect but I'm proud to say that filipinos has a unique way of being hospitable regardless, wherever you came from. Thanks for embracing the traditions and cultures we filipinos lived for centuries. I'm proud to be a filipino 🙏👏😘
I love not just how you feature Philippine places for its beauty but as well as the reality.. Kudos to you "Fearless & Far", Mike. My support & subscription is yours. Take care & God speed.
thats the "circle of life" right there! also always remember, that in the Philippines, we have a Want Not, Waste Note, attitude, and also what Anthony Bordain respects so much about Filipino culture. the entire animal is used and eaten, from the blood, internal organs and of course the meat! thank you for sharing your life changing experience, and showing the happy faces of the Filipinos who shared in the Lechon that was prepared
You just gotta love kids who can speak english in our country. Foreigners have no hard time communicating and interacting. hehe
Hi Mike! Pls don't feel bad about taking the life of a pig. We all know that the meat we eat almost everyday was killed by someone in a butcher factory or farm, it is just the circle of life. We produce the food and later on we consume the food & that's how you should look at it.
Thank You for participating in that unforgettable experience you had in the Philippines, you made those Filipinos happy....EXPERIENCE OVER POSSESSIONS!!!🤩👍!
Mike has a beautiful soul and a golden heart
Reading comments and as all your videos show, you are loved here. Too bad you’re leaving the country soon. Come visit us again (don’t wait another 7 years) More success to you Mike. Stay fearless and ‘near’ the Philippines😜
I will 100% be back. Just wait :)
we already miss you mike, we wont forget theres name mikmik who dropped in th PH.
Fearless & Far nice to see you guys enjoy the view and the culture of Pilipino. I’m happy to all of you visiting my country and show us all the places that where not even yet go thier, but you people better that us you already discover all mostly nice places all the adventure. God Bless guys always stay safe & pray always. following all your vlog. From kuwait, OFW
Awwh he is not staying in phil? Unlike brett, dan and finn?
I Am Happy And I Deserve It i know dan and finn are living in the philippines but bret is too?
I've heard elders say it's good to experience it at least once... Teaches you to be more appreciative.
Jay G exactly what my grandad made me do on my 10th birthday.
Not with a Pig tho, but with a Chicken.
but still...
I am so proud of you mike, I have been watching you and you seems to open your mind in all aspect of life.
It was amazing moment that u met Kulas also in the Philippines,I and my fellow Filipinos love Kulas and I may say Filipinos are loving you now too, your sincere, jolly and friendly man, like Kulas,… Mabuhay !
Maraming Salamat po🙂
Don't feel bad about it Mik mik that's how we do it in the Philippines. I had an utmost respect of you. Hope you'll come back to the Philippines so much to see, it had 7,641 islands to visits. Hope you enjoyed your adventures in Mindanao. Looking forward to more of your videos and thanks for sharing. You're awesome and so does the fighter boys! Hope you guys will collab again in the future.
I once asked my Father why he didn't hunt anymore, as I knew he had in younger days: His answer has stuck with me all my life "Because I don't have to." Sometimes we may have to kill things - but we should never want to or never enjoy the act of killing.
Chris Rasmussen I agree to that Sir. 👍
👍🏻
This shows how good your heart is Mike. I am now a new subscriber because of this.
Much love and respect 🙌🏻🎶 thank you for embracing our Filipino culture!!! ❤️
It’s one of my favorites!
This is the reason, why i subscribe to your channel.. Congrats bro, You made it 👍🏽
This makes me happy Adrian! Welcome to the #FearlessFam man! Experiences over Possessions.
no problem man, enjoy your vacation
I grew up on a goat farm. We've killed and spit roasted goat before. I've watched my family gut deer they hunted. I don't think I could personally end a life at my own hand, but it's good to have the realization of where your food comes from. Being in a place where you get all your food at a grocery store really detatches you from reality. I don't have a problem as long as the animal lived a good life, was killed quickly and humanely, and as much of it was used as possible. If it were killing for sport or fun to watch it suffer I would be horrified. I'm glad you got the experience of knowing your food. With that said, was it delicious? Lol
you did great Mike! its better to live knowing things than keep going full of questions in ypur heart and mind.
. and each and everyone of us are here for a reason and a purpose. and for those animals thats what they need to do and what they live for. :)
take care.
Congrats Mik Mik, you have tranceded above the status quo and became that much closer to the inherent goodness of being human. Taking a life for food and appreciating the wealth of that life is one of the most forgotten truths in the world.
Much respect to you Mike! It takes courage to slaughter an animal. I think the more society learns about animals, the more people push others to be vegan/vegetarian. It's beneficial for the environment but a very hard transition for others who can't grow veggies in their region. But whether you're a meat eater or not, it's very important to know where food comes from. My grandpa had a farm and I've seen how animals were slaughtered. He hunted as a kid too and nothing was ever wasted. Seeing and hearing a pig die definitely changed me but I was more appreciative of the life that was taken to nourish another.
A great comment. I hope this video makes a few people think a bit more. It’s ridiculous to think of the whole world being vegetarian, but i hope the more our world grows, and the more food options we have, we can start to get away from the mass processed options, and more into sustainable and healthier options for our planet ❤️
Fearless & Far thanks! i was vegan when I was a student but when I started working, I realized that being one isn't always practical when I'm out in the field lol. I think it's important to ask ourselves what our choice really means on a moral and practical level for the environment and animals. I doubt factory farming will ever go away as global consumption and population increases. It can be improved but meat consumption here in the US can't be sustainably adopted by the rest of the world even if management becomes efficient globally. But with the right education, people can eat less meat to be healthier and save our world at the same time.
Nothing is truly wasted in nature tho. Even if you didn't use or eat it something will.
this is another example why fearless & far's vlogs are on another level!!! 💯💯💯 it not only entertains and informs you, but it also makes you think and empathize! good job and keep it up, brochacho.
Tydarius Shakiraquan McTurkelton III so no bacon and pork chop for you 🥓😋
haha i can empathize while eating pork bbq and lechon. i respect where my food comes from and how it is prepared (from farm to table). i believe that is one aspect of practicing proper dominion over other living things on this earth....respect, care, and conservation.
The Way U interact with children in all ur vedios shows me How much You are a good person in and out 🥰🥰
The children are always so comfortable in your presence is amazing. You truly are an amazing human being. 💯%
Eating the meat is almost the same with killing it with your bare hands. I thought for a couple of seconds there that you won’t be able to do it but you’ve shown so much courage and really done it. I think compared to the other things that you’ve done here, this is probably the most uncomfortable one. You did great, Mike! I’m glad you’ve done it. Definitely an #experiencesoverpossessions moment. Kudos!! 👏🏼👍🏼
Powerful, emotional video. I totally agree with what you said, though. In Western culture, we tend to sanitize the idea of how our meat gets to us. We don't like to think about the fact that our burger or steak or bacon was once part of a living, breathing animal. But we should think about it. I've been borderline vegan for roughly a decade, but I absolutely get why you did it, and I'm not offended at all, and I can't judge you for it. I don't know if I could have done it, but then again, I bet you would have said the same thing before you were asked. Your actions fed a whole community, a community you seem to have formed a special bond with, and was the center of what looked like a wonderful celebration. Loved seeing you with the kids, by the way! So sorry I haven't become a patron yet...I will, I promise!
Damn. This comment is epic and moving. Props to you!
Thank you!
Shows how soft most are, commend your bravery and understand your pain.
I respect how u fil mik2x.. I eat chicken for 33 years, but there was a time I was alone and I wanted to eat native chicken tinola from my own backyard raising. All of the time I think I'm a brave woman, but reality check, I couldn't cut the chickens neck, I prayed, my tears keep falling, it took me 3 hrs, past 2pm I haven't had lunch , that was the time I realized I can't take a life, so I ended up opening a canned sardines.. The feeling is real and u can't fake it, taking the very life of it is somehow unnecessary but our ancestors did it as long as it was a quick and a clean kill... Thank u for spreading positivity and love to our country, especially here in Mindanao.. Be safe sir Mike. Salute to u mik2x u have a kind heart ur a good man.. and kulas is a very understanding friend.. Pinoy tlga ang aproch ni kulas kahit sa advice..
I like it when u said “ and they said this place is dangerous...” i think its more of FEAR of the UNKNOWN. other country judges the place without experiencing it. You have my RESPECT mike. THANK YOU for showing the world how IMPERFECTLY PERFECT our country is😉 God bless to you and lookin forward to your futur travel vloggs!
Man. Exactly. Fear of the unknown holds the world back. Knowledge is what unlocks your potential. It’s just a quick google search, speaking to a local, or cautiously try yourself. The world opens up when you dive it.
Yes but many dangerous things have happened in the past. But mainly in far west. The maguindanao massacre of Nov 2009. And more recently martial law and the fight against ISIS in the east. The West and North have more of a history of peace. I will be in Mainit/Surigao in February as well as Manila and Sohoton. Maybe Camiguin.
Andrew Wilson yeah andrew a lot of unfortunate event happens in the past and recently, but i think what mike wants other people to realize is that Mindanao in general is not a dangerous place. I, myself havent been to mindanao but my friends are mostly from mindanao and they are totally safe there. I hope you enjoy your stay in Mindanao. and just like travelling to any other country, travel safely and just enjoy the moment. God bless man! cheers!
Poor mike... Its alright hugss😘😘😘😘..beat the fears.. Thats how you do it.. 😉😉😉
Hi Mike - You’re a trooper. So, so proud of you. I grow up in the phils and you reminded me about my childhood. Love your shows. I’m glad you covered the phils. Keep it coming.
You have my respect man. And now I subscribed. More power and God bless.
Oh Mike. I just wanted to reach into the screen and give you a big hug. I totally get it. I've been there.....mind you mine were chickens and a duck but still. Last I had lechon with my fam, the brought the pig and it squealed. I think the squealing was what did I for me. I swear I became a vegetarian for about 15 min.....but then when I smelled that nice and delicious aroma, i was right back in the game. Lol. But having experienced that made me appreciate my food and made me aware of how precious the gift is. And hell yeah we use EVERY part of it as you experienced. It will be something that will stay with you for sure but I think it may have brought you to a higher state of awareness. I don't know you but I am proud of you. Cheers and take care.
Well done man, you did it with great respect. Cheers bro
your so NICE person.... WELCOME AND THANK YOU for visiting Mindanao... god bless always...
I love how wherever u go, u always have a group of kids following u around enjoying life. :)
Your channel is soo underrated!!! Your channel is amazing ❤️
Debrah Dasco x
Mikes' vligs are amazing. Because the man himself is amazingly humane and intelligent.; and that is why I subscribed too.
Lol. great post, this brings so much education, passion, life lesson, squeezed in a 15 min video. kudos man!
I especially loved it when kulas asked a poignant question when you asked him about his life, and in turn he asked you about your life...lol. I didnt know kulas can be deep in a normal conversation.
But yah - this is probably one of the best videos yet of the whole week 1 series so far (i know there are more coming). This #fighterboys series is epic and hands down the best collaboration yet in the entire Philippine history of vlogs.
Dexter man. Great comment. We had a ton of fun during that trip, and we’re all excited to start editing. Kulas is an epic guy, he’s surprising in a lot of ways. Happy to be travelling with him again now!
That's very brave of you.. Thank you for the experience...
Aaaaww.....Mike I perfectly do understand you. That’s all I can say.....❤️
- new pinay subscriber from London❤️❤️❤️
We call pig intestines Chitlins' in Black American southern culture. New subbie by the way, and I'm OBSESSED!
Wow, this was a very eye opening and amazing video to watch. I appreciate the knowledge you share!
Congrats mate on doing itt. Videos like these make me thankful growing up in the village and having to stuffs like this, thus having a more realistic world view of how it works.
I feel your emotion, it's very strong enough for me to feel something I did not feel when I had my first kill back when I was 10.. big respect for you sir!
those kids are awesome!
Hi MikMik, I was with you, feeling, all the way. I appreciate much every word you said. It is sad that one has to kill another specie in order to survive - you feel sad when you see a baby zebra killed and eaten by a lion, but on the other hand that is the way nature provides. God bless.
My utmost respect for the raw emotions .....and sharing your heart, much better than denying ..
Over come fear is one of the best feelings! You’ve done great mike!! Cheers!!! 👍
You're awesome! You've made me realize something today.
That is the yummiest food I missed my father can cook on special occasions.
The kids were so sweet. Love you fellow Filipinos!
You are a very sweet and kind guy!
been following you for a couple of days now but now u got my sub :D
Thanks man. Happy to have you in the #FearlessFam. Could you have done the same?
Those kids are lucky to see you in person
My first butcher was a chicken when I was like 11 or 12 years old. Hats off Mike! Big heart and great sharing of realization.
You have a very warm heart Mike! Very sensitive, keep going there's a lot to learn!
Nice vlog hope to meet you in one of your travel vlog. Peace! 😊
"I'd rather live this way, having done this with literally blood still on my hands, than live in ignorance my entire life."
👍👍👍👍👍
We respect you mr mike. You are all welcome here figther boys. Then assemble go go go. Thanks for visiting our country the philippines.
nice vid! I enjoyed watching you hanging around with the kids and the fooooddddd. I love it.😍😘
This will either make you appreciate the lives of the animals we eat everyday or make you swear off eating meat entirely. We always have to be conscious of how and where we get the things we use everyday from the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the cars we drive, the phones we use. Thanks for making me put things in perspective
Exactly Nicolle, and both of those are great ways to live. Appreciation is a key to happiness and fulfillment. All life needs to be appreciated
one of your best video's man!!
Thanks so much! It was a tough one to edit. A lot of graphic outtakes. Becoming Filipino did a good job as videographer!
I can imagine! looking forward to your future video's!
Great job mik mik... Brave heart ❤ hats off
GREAT CONTENT EVERY VLOG!!
CONGRAAATS
Cheers mate...Here's to Ham, Bacon and Everything Nice that Pork Has to Offer!♥
Agree
Its a circle of life, we need to take other life(poultry) for ours... In order to live.. Respect
Definitely one of my fave vids on YT. ❤️
Hey Mike, I live in Toronto for almost 13 years and never missed Filipino foods. We can actually buy them in Filipino or Chinese stores in the city like those pig intestines. However, as a true-blooded Filipino, nothing is better than the real food in my homeland. I miss the Philippines very much and will be in my heart forever. 😘💙❤️🇵🇭
„Hello” from Poland ✌️🙏 thanks for your videos🙏 They are great, love them a lot. And love what are you doing 😍 I wish you all the best! ✌️😊
The first time killing for food is tough. Imagine if you took care of that pig (or chicken) from birth? That's basically what agriculture is (in contrast to hunting and gathering).
when I was a kid. My cousins and I have a very special fat pet chicken which produces lots of eggs.
One day our uncles decide to kill it when we are all in school. we cry a lot. when they told us that the chicken that we are eating is our pet. we cant forget it until now we are 50's.
Nolsp I agree. My grandpa had a farm but after a few years he started to feel guilty that he got rid of all livestock and grew vegetables instead. He even stopped hunting and became vegetarian. He said he always felt guilty the way they stared into his eyes when they loaded then into the truck to be sent to the slaughter house.
So glad to have found your channel! Love your videos so much! Watching 3 videos everyday over my meals as I trudge and suffer in school! Keep up the good work and keep making these awesome videos! Subscribed!

Great job mike. Much respect to you
I was going to comment earlier saying it's usually a shaky experience killing your first animal that you're going to cook and eat but Filipinos have done it since they were young so it's more natural for them. But 14:55 in made me proud saying "it may look gross but it's more gross to throw it away". I'm half Filipino and it makes me very happy to hear that. Well done.
Thanks man. It was a difficult day, but it felt so good for my soul after. Eating meat is a gift, we need to treat how to consume it differently
