Fifty years later, I can still remember the taste and smell of pakaskas. Grainy, smoky, melt-in-your-mouth 🤤 We used to live in Tabangao and my father loved pakaskas. He would eat it as a quick snack or dessert, and on Good Fridays, when he’s fasting, he would declare that he could hold off on eating meals by subsisting on pakaskas and water. The bangka ride to Verde Island also brought up a very memorable and happy event from my childhood. One day, the company my father worked for organized an outing for the families of employees. We boarded a tugboat at the refinery jetty that took us out to what I believe was Verde Island and anchored offshore so that we could swim in the sea. I couldn’t get over how clear and blue the water was 😃 Love this video, I’m sharing it with my family 😍
I thought theres an issue with the voice over so i have to look into the comments. This type of story telling is completely genuine. Idk how to explain but i fee like im in the island itself. The sound of the nature, the cinematic experience, its just impeccable. Thanks for this, FEATR!
I so love this feature. The documentation style is cinematic and so authentic no voice overs and personalities just the locals. Please continue this kind of advocacy making local produce known once again and now globally in the digital age. Thank you FEATR for your hardwork and research.
They used to sell it in Baclaran streets in the afternoon and wonder what it was including the kakanin, purple yams, and I bought the caravan cake part of my snacks..made from batangas..
I love how straightforward the cinematography is. Thank you for bringing this into light!!! As a Filipino, we should be more aware of these situations in order to hopefully let the future witness what we still have.
Erwan and co, you are cultural life-savers. Thank you for the promotion of the preservation of these things that we Filipinos should actually treasure and nurture. I hope the government takes notice and takes action for supporting and making these traditional things thrive again!
This video warms my heart knowing these traditions and cultures continue to thrive and slowly return as more awareness is being spread around through media
@@featrmediaThanks for another interesting video - I enjoyed watching it end to end. In South India, there is a similar looking palm tree using which sugar is produced. The scale of operation is much smaller
this format is the best. no narration (no that it's bad, and tbh, erwan's a good narrator), just the raw sounds coming from the subject being documented. kinda like primitive technology's format. it's just so soothing to watch vids like this.
Before moving to the states, I spent 10 yrs of my formative childhood in Batangas City living with my grandparents. As a child, pakaskas was a memorable treat for me & my best friends! They were sold in dried buri leaves & stacked into a cylinder. Precious memories of family, friends, & simple pleasures that is permanently stored in my mind. Please keep these organic, traditional sweet treats forever alive!
Gone were the days when these were peddled in the streets. Growing up, delicacies like pakaskas, kesong puti, kakanin, bislad and many others were normally nilalako sa bahay bahay. Young people are missing the basic good & natural things in life now. I can always relate to your video content such as this one. Btw, I am surprised that you were in Tabangao. Most people know only the pier. That is just a stone's throw away from our hydroponics farm in the bundok. You also passed by the house where my children grew up. Pinarentahan nalang namin ang tegula house. We had to look for a nearer house when all my kids went to uni. Anyway, everytime you go to the south you will always pass by our homes along the slex. I hope hindi nyo nalanghap ang pollution from the chemical plants there. It is not as bad as before daw. Magaling content writers nyo.
Enjoyed these when I worked-lived in Batangas City, a co-worker is a native of Isla Verde and got to visit their friendly community. They harvest these palm sugar directly from the trees, so good 😋
As Filipinos, we’re so proud of our culture but we still prefer celebrating other cultures than our own. These artisans should be treasured and these crafts should be honed and passed on to the next generation.
Ay naalala ko yang pakaskas nung bata pako paborito yan ni nanay na panghimagas katapos kumain, ang sarap nyan saka yung panutsa, lagi akong kumakain nyan kaso nasobrahan yata kain ko ng pakaskas at panutsa kaya ayun nasira ngipin ko, saka tumaas ang sugar level ko . Memories... I'm 57 years old now, not much left with my natural teeth and I'm on a diet as I'm at risk of type 2 diabetes, lesson learned anything that's too much is not good. Thank you sir for documenting pakaskas , the original Filipino candy 🇵🇭 God bless po
now this is quality content. hands down to FEATR and the entire production crew! it’s not all the time we have people who pour out their creativity and passion into a 10-minute video. this was very well written 🥹 looking forward for more!!!! ❤
I love this ,..when I was Kid in Manila , after School Vendors with "Pakaskas "Would lin up in the street infront of the School Selling Guavas sliced Papaya ,.everything worth 5 cents ..and pakaskas is my Favorite ,..that Was 1947.........76 years Ago ,..
I grew up in Oriental Mindoro in the 1970s-80s. As a neighboring island, pakaskas was sold there as well. I used to buy and eat them back when I was in elementary & high school. I left the Philippines in 1989 and didn't go back home until 2010. In my short visits since then, I've not seen pakaskas in the stores and market of Mindoro. The last time I had one was back in the late 80s. I can still remember the taste. This video made me reminisce and remember my childhood. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you for featuring Isla Verde Batangas. My maternal side was from isla Verde, we tend to spend our holidays there during Summer. The calm breeze, and unpolluted island are definitely one of the reason we loved there. Payak na pamumuhay ika nga” No electricity and water sa ISLA,kaya more time of bonding with ur families and friends.
Erwan/FEATR Team. Salamat Po!!! This video was truly worthy of a documentry short film award, as are most of your YT videos. Thank you as always for showing us another part of the Philippines that most of us never see, visit, let alone, have knowledge of. Verde Island is now on my list of places to visit on my next holiday in the Philippines. Keep those videos coming and again, Salamat Po!!!
OMG the best video I've ever seen, so authentic. I've never heard or seen pakaskas, now I want to go to Isla Verde. Ito ang Bayan ko, Filipinas minamahal. Bravo, ñor Bonifacio.
Growing up in Batangas City (with ties to Isla Verde), we used to wait for the pakaskas season when we would receive bundles of it. I'm the youngest in the family and was given most of it. Would never forget the taste. I rarely get some nowadays. The casitas themselves are works of art (wish you featured how they're made). And they look so small in this video, they had bigger diameters back in the day.
Tanda ko dati, may sinamahan akong kaibigan na nag cacatering at ang sinerbisan namin jan sa isla verde malaking bahay sya, na 3rd floor ata tapos may bata dun na may kapansanan at malupet sya mag drums. Tapos nagtitinda sila ng pakaskas sobrang sarap bente pa presyo nyan 3 bilog
Hindi na ako nakakakita ng pakaskas dito sa Manila,,Dati kahit sa maliit na tindahan meron nyan,at ngayon ko lag nalaman at my age of 73,,hindi pala out of sugarcane giagawa yan,,NICE ,,,now i know and i will share this to my apos ,,to know what is “PAKASKAS”👏👏👏👍👍🙏✌️✌️✌️🥰🤗❤️🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
as a digital artist , i love watching and listening to this kind of vid while i am working or eating or while having a coffee in the morning or late afternoon
I've always been curious about those hanging stacked objects being sold at Lipa City terminal. Pakaskas pala yon! Thank you for this amazing and insightful story. I'm definitely gonna buy some the next time I see them at Lipa.
I love it. This feature is so simple, pure and sincere. A refreshing treat and rarity nowadays. I can almost smell the caramelized palm from here. Enjoyed it.
From Lobo, Batangas. Isa sa mga childhood snacks namin. Isa sa mga pagkain na sa Batangas lang talaga. Isa na din ang pinais na Dulong. Salamat sa pagappreciate sa pagkain namin dito sa Batangas.
This was a fave during my childhood, nabibili lang din madalas sa tindahan. 6pesos ata per canister. I like sweet stuff and nginangabngab ko hanggang maubos haha. This vid is so relaxing, nostalgic rin. Brings back memories when we used to visit Isla Verde back then…
Marami pa rin naman ang gumagawa niyan sa parte Mindanao. Meron pa nga parang honey rin pro galing din sa katas ng niyog tawag sa Mindanao coconut sugar at coconut jelly o coco honey. Iba lng din ang style niya sa pg gawa ng coco sugar kc buo ang sa kanya. Pro meron din yan sa Mindanao na Buong coco sugar din. Mas mhal yan ang coco sugar kay sa ibang asukal.
Thanks for featuring my 2 pamangkin😁 and im grateful dahil may gantong documentary about pakaskas, at habang tumatagal kumukonti na ang gumagawa nyan. Sana lang maipagpatuloy pa yan sa susunod na henerasyon.
Hello po! Saan ko po kaya kayo pwedeng ma-message Ms. Queenelyn Gonzales? :) Nais ko lamang po sana magtanong ng ilang mga katanungan tungkol dito sa pakaskas. Salamat po :)
I enjoyed the presentation. It's serene. I saw the subscribers are around 3M+. I was intrigued about the creator so I checked the main page. I recognized the guy. Asawa ni Anne ito ah! Bakit ngayon ko lang nadiskubre ang channel na ito? Subscribed because of how their videos are presented!
Love the pakaskas. Used to bring a few of this home for pasalubong after visiting my family's hometown. It has a unique texture, taste and smell. Wala pang Goldilocks at Dunkin Donuts for pasalubong noon. Puro classic Batangas sweets ang laging dala namin bilang pasalubong kada taon kamiy uuwi ng probinsya. Eto yung mga sinauna na mga sweets na may unique and organic packaging.
Wow! Phenomenal cinematography and storytelling by highlighting the little details surrounding the main character’s daily life! I don’t know why it felt like I was being transported back in time. It evokes a feeling of nostalgia for a place I haven’t been to before! Maraming salamat for sharing the hidden gems of the Philippines and for showcasing how much work goes into such a simple yet amazing product! ❤
Broooooo these are my favourite back when I was a kid…. I grew up in Batangas and I get to taste this delicious treats.. ever since I lived here in Italy I almost forgot about this omfg
Thanks for featuring my childhood snack especially every summer/holy week (usually when we go to my lola's house and she usually have this bundle and we eat it as dessert).
I am from Lipa city and grew up having pakaskas as our prized food treat esp when in season. I am now 73 and have been searching where to buy it here in Manila even asking my kins to bring home my cherished and missed favorite. I also miss Lipa's bonnette, mamon burdado and pajo( mango's mini version). Would greatly appreciate kind hearted people suggesting where to buy it here. Thank you. This was also featured many years ago by Nestor Cuartero. I'm just saddened that younger Lipenos do not know these delicacies anymore.
Super love this kind of content & there so many traditional foods in Philippines that needs to be discovered & featured .. Hopefully you will produce more videos same as this..
Abundance in Malaysia (Palm Sugar or gula melaka) Use for braise pork, sweet dessert, kuih2, any cooking replacing sugar also can. May defer little cooking style from village to village. Normally produce by small towns or rural areas. These type of sugar is special hand made, very delicious.
We call that Silag here in Santa Ignacia Tarlac. Masarap yung bagong kuha na juice nyan, nakakalasing sa tamis. ☺️ tsaka pag namunga yan maliliit na bilog bilog, parang sago yung loob, lasang buko. Sobrang taas ng puno nyan, pag nasa taas ka sobrang sarap tumambay.
Love this video. This takes me back to the sights, smells and endearing people and priceless traditions of our country. Also I can no longer find muscovado sugar in the local Filipino stores. A woman from Negros told me the trade was taken over by Norwegian investors who ran it for a time but then sold it to some Chinese merchants. And that, my friends, closed the chapter on our muscovado tradition. We need to do more to support the locals and their means of livelihood.
Love this “featr”! ❤ very nostalgic 🥹 My lola used to sell this in her sari-sari store, loved the taste and the smoky smell of the casitas. I thought it was called “pakaskas” because “ikinakaskas sa ngipin” 😅. Loved the new learnings as always ❤ By the way, loving this format. Keep it up! -subscriber since 2011 😊
I am now watching this episode. The way you produce and edit this video is like an episode i have shoot in reporters notebook. Vwry good detailing, and shots is good.

As a Batangas City local, this makes me proud. I hope more people will appreciate and once again gave life to this awesome treat!
Magkano po itong pakaskas? Never tried it
Naku need ko pa punta ng Batangas to have this? 😍Online po pwede order?
I hope your Filipino, You can start it mate if you have the money and sell it online so we here Australians can enjoy this yummy goodness.
I so love this feature. The documentation style is cinematic and so authentic no voice overs and personalities just the locals. Please continue this kind of advocacy making local produce known once again and now globally in the digital age. Thank you FEATR for your hardwork and research.

More to come! Thanks for subscribing.
@@featrmediaThanks for another interesting video - I enjoyed watching it end to end.
In South India, there is a similar looking palm tree using which sugar is produced. The scale of operation is much smaller

Nowadays everything’s expensive

Pakaskas!!
Had it every time we visited our Grandma in Batangas..
Am 75-now..and can still recall its unique taste..
Reminds me of our granny too😢

Very compelling kahit walang narrator. Absolute thumbs up!
Pakaskas was fairly common when I was growing up in Batangas during the 80's and can actually be bought in local sari-sari stores.
I was waiting for the background music and VO to start. Had to pause and check for audio issues😂
This is so calming to watch

This kind of sugar is verry common here in Thailand. They use it to cook a lot of dishes. and it taste more delicious than a standard cane sugar

i live in ph and it's the first time i heard of this. love this video. Thank you!
My favorite masarap po yan. wala na ako nakikita nyan ngayon na tinitinda dito sa amin. sana mapangalagaan ang kultura at may gumawa pa.
I've always been curious about 'Pakaskas'. Glad to see the process and outcome. I hope this heirloom will not disappear 🙏🏻
OMG! This is my favorite! 🤩Wish I can have a taste of this again😍🧡🙏
thanks for sharing, hope to have more buri plants to grow
My tongue will never forget the great taste of pakaskas. Unang kain ko ng pakaskas ay noon mga bata pa kami.
I love that you featured this particular sugar--- I remember seeing it growing up. Thank you for sharing.
Sana maipamana p ang pggwa ng pakaskas na yn..yan ang isa sa maipagmamalaki nting mga pinoy...❤️
idk what element it has, but this video has an exquisite peace watching it. really enjoyed it!
Wow! FEATR is really an amazing platform to convey culture and traditions. My first time to see and hear about Pakaskas. 🙌🏼
This is an awesome documentary! Congratulations, Featr! 🎉
Meron din samin nyan sa Pangasinan. same din ng pina kukuhaan na puno (silag). ang tawag naman samin is "pakasyat"
Hope that this will be supported by the government and be available all over the Philippines and can be exported
a very nice feature bro . very nice . SSS Class Documentary right here .
I really like the ambient sound in the introduction; it gives me a therapeutic effect and relaxes my brain.
Broooooo these are my favourite back when I was a kid…. I grew up in Batangas and I get to taste this delicious treats.. ever since I lived here in Italy I almost forgot about this omfg
I tasted this and this is really good. Pinapapak ko usually and masarap sa kape
EXACTLY!!!!😍
very genuine!
Congratulations for another interesting feature story of a Filipino heritage and culture. :)
Amazing documentary…really appreciate FEATR for bringing this story to my awareness. Kudos to the whole team. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I love the vibe. So happy that I can view this wonder in Filipino culture. Tnx Erwan for sharing to ur vlogs. Godbless u and the team.👏❤️👏
Galing ng pagkagawa ng docu. It makes me want to search out for pakaskas.
I was lil confuse, searching for ERWAN'S voice but then i realise i adore his brilliance in films , language , cooking and passion😊
Thank you for this great content.
Continue to feature this kind of documentary.
Avid fan here ever since 👋😊
Super love this kind of content & there so many traditional foods in Philippines that needs to be discovered & featured .. Hopefully you will produce more videos same as this..
The cinematography is great!
Been a long time since I saw Pakaskas. That’s what I am looking forward when my mom went home from the market as a pasalubong.
S totoo lng hindi ako fun ng channel n ito pero since n gumagawa kyo ng mga ganito hands up bro salute ❤
Well done. Made me want to go and visit the island.
Love this. No narrator just the original audio. Never heard of this food tho. I have tried panutsa, sundot kulangot patupat, kalamay na may mani.
Loving the treatment for this documentary video!
I'm from Isla Verde. Thankyou for this. ❤️
NAPAKAGANDA NG PAGKAKAGAWA. FAIR PLAY, FEATR!
Abundance in Malaysia (Palm Sugar or gula melaka) Use for braise pork, sweet dessert, kuih2, any cooking replacing sugar also can. May defer little cooking style from village to village. Normally produce by small towns or rural areas. These type of sugar is special hand made, very delicious.
Yes. This is Gula Melaka, indeed.
They also have this type of sugar in Tigbauan Iloilo. Thanks for the feature
This is beautiful. ❤ I love this type of content you make. Thank you for doing this.
We call that Silag here in Santa Ignacia Tarlac. Masarap yung bagong kuha na juice nyan, nakakalasing sa tamis. ☺️ tsaka pag namunga yan maliliit na bilog bilog, parang sago yung loob, lasang buko. Sobrang taas ng puno nyan, pag nasa taas ka sobrang sarap tumambay.
Love this video. This takes me back to the sights, smells and endearing people and priceless traditions of our country. Also I can no longer find muscovado sugar in the local Filipino stores. A woman from Negros told me the trade was taken over by Norwegian investors who ran it for a time but then sold it to some Chinese merchants. And that, my friends, closed the chapter on our muscovado tradition. We need to do more to support the locals and their means of livelihood.

Love this “featr”! ❤ very nostalgic 🥹
My lola used to sell this in her sari-sari store, loved the taste and the smoky smell of the casitas. I thought it was called “pakaskas” because “ikinakaskas sa ngipin” 😅. Loved the new learnings as always ❤
By the way, loving this format. Keep it up!

This is a great recommendation of yt. I do not know that we have product like pakaskas
