From Samal Island, Davao and Mindanao, we are traveling back to Visayas.
For the seventh episode of JuJu on the Go, we're going to the city of gentle people, Dumaguete.
We're flying to Dumaguete-Sibulan Airport with Cebu Pacific and the flight will take an hour and a half.
Dumaguete City is the capital of the province of Negros Oriental.
Due to its accessibility from Cebu City and Central Visayas,
Dumaguete draws a number of foreign visitors from all over the world.
In Forbes Magazine's ranking of the seven best places to retire around the world,
Dumaguete is ranked fifth.
In this episode, with the help of the city tourism,
we are going to know more about the city's art scene and its people.
And of course, the staple segment of this series, homegrown restaurants and food, won't be missing.
Guys, airport.
Good morning, everybody.
We are here in Dumaguete and I'm gonna keep my voice down
kasi syempre may mga ibang guests and it's not even 7 a.m. yet.
So we are now here at the Bricks Hotel.
It's such a cool hotel.
It's really very industrial and beautifully unfinished.
Of course, I'll have Bricks Hotel.
It's the hotel has a lot of bricks.
So I'm very excited to explore.
Marami tayong pupuntahan today, like a gallery, an old presidential building.
Good morning, guys.
Anyway, ang maganda dito sa Bricks Hotel is eto ang view niya.
So tatawid lang tayo and makikita nyo yung napakagandang view namin.
This strip is called the Rizal Boulevard.
So tinanong ko kung bakit.
Apparently, from Dapitan, dito nag-travel si Jose Rizal going to Manila.
And by travel, I mean dito siya dumaan.
Napadaan siya dito sa boulevard na to.
Kaya ang tawag dito is the Rizal Boulevard.
And behind me, kagabi ko pag gusto mag-picture dito sa place na to, the Dumaguete sign.
Kagabi, sobrang surprised kami kasi.
Andami-dami-dami-daming development here.
But come, and tamang-tama, may Huawei tayo.
Pili na lang ako dito ng Huawei.
Para sa mga gustong makaalam kung saan siya located.
This is the Bricks Hotel.
And then, kapag nag-turn ka, well, from my room, this is the beautiful view.
It's very nice.
Now, we're going to breakfast.
At dahil 7am nga, magpapainit muna tayo ng chan.
Kasi ayaw nating nabibigla ang ating mga chan.
So we are on our way to this place called Painitan.
You can have here budbod and biko.
We're also gonna have chocolate drink sa umaga.
It's a place to go to any time of the day.
And we're gonna try that out first thing in the morning.
Papainit tayo ng chan with the chocolate drink and budbod, which I'm excited to try.
So we'll take you guys with us.
See ya!
Tayo sa Lourdes Tevez na Painitan.
Buhay na market na to from 4am to 6am.
So akala ko maaga pa tayo ng 7am dito.
Apparently, we're late na.
And so we'll try it.
Sticky rice.
Morning!
Wow!
Hot chocolate.
Meron tayong mangga.
Sticky rice.
And ito yung budbod na sinasabi nila, which is also suman.
So come on guys, let's give it a try.
Wow!
Ano ito?
Peanut butter.
Para saan?
Sa puto.
Peanut butter para sa puto.
That's the first time I've heard of that.
Si Bia mag-review ng chocolate drink namin.
Creamy.
Shall we give this a try?
Yes, you can have it.
It's a budbod.
So it's what we call the suman, yung version namin ng budbod.
In Tumagant, it's budbod.
Sa atin, it's suman.
And this one is puto maya.
So yun yung kakanin.
Okay, this is puto maya.
They're sticky rice.
So kung sa Thailand, it's magaw sticky rice with condensed milk.
Dito, tsokolate.
Okay guys, so ang manga dito tapos yung tsokolate.
We shall give it a try.
V, come on.
Interesting.
I've never heard of tsokolate on sticky rice and mango.
I'm so curious.
Hindi siya too sweet, no?
Sabarang bago ng lasa sa akin ng chocolate on the sticky rice, no?
Siguro kasi nasanay tayo yung parang condensed milk with mango.
Again guys, paulit-ulit ko ito sinasabi sa vlog.
Pero me kasi, I super love sweets.
Sticky talaga siya.
Super.
Sarap.
I would prefer this.
This is good.
They're on sticky rice, guys.
That's so good!
Who would've thought, guys?
Ang sarap!
Mahilig kasi ako sa peanut butter.
Favorite ko talaga siya.
Hindi ko lang aakalain na bagay siya sa sticky rice.
I would prefer this than this.
Wow!
Hello po!
She started this around 1985.
So isa pala tong stall na to sa pinaka matagal na dito sa market.
So ano pong pinaka bestseller niyo po dito sa stall?
Yung puto at tsokolate.
At tsokolate?
Oo, mayroon din kami.
Ako nanggawa ng peanut butter.
Kayo po gumawa ng peanut butter?
I was going to ask kung saan nila nabili yung peanut butter.
Dahil gusto kong iuwi.
Gusto kong itry.
Homemade.
Mayroon na kami.
Homemade?
Mayroon po kayo ng contain?
Oo.
Guys, so kanina, nung tonight ko peanut butter.
It really has to be quality and really good peanut butter.
Para ma-justify talaga yung mixture niya with the sticky rice.
And then a while ago, sarap na-sarap ako sa kanya.
I wanted to know kung ano klasa siyang peanut butter.
It is homemade.
Ako nanggawa ng peanut butter namin.
Nakura.
Thank you.
She is actually the sister of the founder talaga.
Her name is Ma'am Lourdes.
And she's already in heaven.
So may she rest in peace.
Madame Rosemary makes awesome peanut butter, guys.
Come here sa painitan.
Kung gusto nyo lang magpainit ng chan, napaka-sarap ng mga combination dito.
Na first time ko lang din ito try.
Thank you so much, ma'am.
Thank you.
Excited na akong iyong peanut butter.
Kung alam nyo lang talaga.
Let's try it.
Guys, may pandesal dito ah.
Oh my God.
Tapos na tayo dito sa painetan.
Pupunta tayo next sa shelter gallery.
That's just the first of a couple galleries na pupunta tayo natin dito.
Let's go.
I am so excited for this.
The first gallery that we are going to be visiting is called the shelter gallery.
It's their newest and their most modern gallery here in Dumaguete.
And they feature young and upcoming artists.
So I'm excited to check them out.
Let's go in.
Oh, knock knock.
Hi.
Hey, what's your name?
Faye, my name's Faye.
Faye, hi Faye.
Julia, nice to meet you.
Hi.
Hi, Faye.
Hi, nice to meet you.
Tell us about you.
Tell us about the place.
So I'm actually an artist.
I'm a painter.
Not from here.
I'm from Mindanao, Zamboanga.
So the gallery part is mine.
The cafe part is my partner's.
He's from Manila.
He also is not from here.
We make this joke now.
Once you visit, you move here.
Something like that.
Do you guys live here now?
Yeah, we live here now.
So he moved here in 2017.
And I moved here last year.
Last year?
So how's it been?
The transition?
It's good because after I graduated, I lived in Manila.
I lived in Mindanao again.
And then I came back here after the pandemic.
You know, I miss the art world.
And this is a good place to start.
Really?
Dumaguete?
Yeah, we have a really good art scene.
We have a show every month.
We're really trying to put out new artists.
People who are just starting out.
Up and coming.
Give them a platform.
Instead of just like, you know, same people over and over again.
Okay, well I'm surprised.
So you would say like Dumaguete is more like an art scene than in Manila?
Well, Manila's art scene is really big.
Yeah, big.
Because the place is really big.
Yeah.
But in Dumaguete, still with so many artists.
Like the fact that I can have a show every single month.
Different artists.
Says a lot.
Says a lot, yeah.
So these are your work?
No, this is Apri.
This month's show, she's an architect designer.
Also based in Manila and here.
The title is Surface Tension, by the way.
Okay.
It's when she's working, you know.
When you're an architect, you have to be very precise.
Very meticulous.
And I think art is her way to let go.
Yeah.
And relax.
Because she does pouring.
Pouring.
Yeah, so that's why it looks like that.
So it's really like letting go.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm sure.
And especially being an architect where everything is like measured.
And then everything like that.
So I think when you're able to like just let go of color.
Yeah.
I guess that's very therapeutic.
It's actually really nice.
Yeah, so this is like a symbolism of like what happens inside all of us.
So this is meant to be seen by everyone and kind of bring your own memories to mind.
How do you feel looking at this?
I like it.
I'm just thinking like if I have space.
So this has been titled a long, long time ago.
A long time.
Anything that causes like trauma or a very heavy memory and still stays with us.
So again, it's like very open and up for interpretation to anyone who looks at it.
But I like that.
This is the cafe.
I love it.
So it's called Coffee Collective.
Howard.
Hi, Hirolia.
Nice, nice.
Surprise also.
Oh, nice.
Hi, nice to meet you.
So he's the one in charge of the Coffee Collective.
So it's so nice here, guys.
Because like you can hang out and like talk about art.
So when did you start getting into business with coffee?
Coffee?
2020.
2020?
When I moved here, I was looking for coffee.
I grew up in Manila.
I moved here.
I like the city.
So I decided to start my own business here.
Nice.
And because your love for coffee.
Yes, definitely.
Super nice.
I love it.
Hi, guys.
Yeah, well, nice.
Nice partnership, guys.
How art and coffee put together.
That's nice.
Nice to meet you.
Okay.
Now we are in Mugna Gallery.
Hi, guys.
Good morning.
Hello.
Thank you so much.
Can I come in?
Hey, guys.
Hello.
Hi, super cool.
Okay, there.
I was just reading.
Hi, nice to meet you.
Are these sold?
No, it's not really a selling show.
Oh, it's not.
A lot of these are actually just personal collection.
Oh, okay.
But these ones, these three pieces, they're new.
So they're very recent.
I did this just these three months.
These are new, technically new mediums.
Yeah.
So it's fiberglass.
It's not your usual canvas.
Shiny too, huh?
Shiny because it's plastic.
It's polymer.
This is a fiberglass panel.
Yeah.
So you laminate this.
Yeah.
You sort of laminate it on glass.
Whatever surface that it's laid up on, it will sort of reflect that surface.
So all the paints that you see there, they're actually painted behind the panel.
Wow, really?
So cool.
Let's check this one too.
I'm really liking this because my birthstone is aquamarine.
I'm a Pisces.
Ang Pisces parang water babies.
Parang we really love the water.
Okay, so this is my interpretation.
All right.
Water.
It's very like ocean.
Yeah, it is.
Nature, like just with the green and then the different shades of blue.
And then even this light, it just brings so much.
You got it.
That's really the inspiration.
It's water.
Oh, yeah?
Great.
Well, that's what I got.
What did you do?
What did you use?
That's watercolor.
I'm creating a relationship between the image and its location.
So these four pieces, they were all taken in Mauntalinas.
Same with the images here.
So every time I take a photo, I look at the geographic coordinates and I document that.
My mermaids.
Yeah.
It's a sociopolitical piece also, which I did in 2019.
This was done pretty much at the height of the pandemic.
I was reacting to all these political issues that were happening in the Philippines.
The West Philippine Sea and all this militarization going on.
This painting is sort of like a reminder of, you know,
I mean, it's like a reflection of the realities that we are facing now.
On the surface, you think nothing's wrong,
but I think there's a lot of things we have to really watch out for.
Babu showcased a lot of artworks when we visited Mugna.
Aside from the big acrylic paintings,
the exhibit also featured his drawings and wooden artworks.
Behind Mugna, there's a small hut where a group of artists hone their talents
and Gianna Humalon does her pottery workshops.
Hey!
It's Hemrod!
Hello!
It's also a sculpture and a ceramic artist.
Sure!
So, I can make anything with this?
Okay.
So, circle?
Yeah.
Ball muna.
And then, with your forefingers, press it.
Okay.
So, going around?
Yeah, like a dough.
And then, maintain mo yung thickness.
Likod and more, more.
My progress, okay.
What else would you like?
You wanna try the wheel?
Yeah, yeah.
Gentle lang, okay.
So soft.
Unlock your elbows sa leg mo, yes.
Ganyan, dapat komportable ka.
Sige.
Okay, stop.
Magiging plato na yan.
Okay.
Wow!
Okay, and then?
Sige.
Ganyanin mo para to close it a bit.
Lift your fingers up.
Lift?
Yeah.
With the clay.
I want a bowl.
Close.
Amazing!
And then, that's a cup na?
Yep.
Wow, may baso ka na.
Yay, may baso na ako guys.
Pangkape ko na to.
There you go!
Yes, hello.
This is your artwork.
Yeah, nude.
I have so much nude paintings in the house.
This one is riddle.
It's about when you get broken and then you put it back together.
Yes.
You come out a different person.
When you put back together, you're different.
You come out a different person and it's still for sale.
This one's for sale.
I'll get it.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Several artists shared their artworks and the story behind them.
And I'm really amazed at how creative and passionate these artists are in their craft.
A pathway away from the terracotta is Subida Crafts.
This is where some local artisans manufacture and retail native toys and souvenirs.
So if you're looking for pasalubong, Subida is a great place to shop.
Sa Subida, we are trying to promote yung mga traditional toys.
I will be demonstrating to you.
Ito yung mga sinaunang laruan.
This is the Malaysian-inspired trompo.
Ito yung trompo ng Mindanao.
And the magic ghost is here.
Habang umiikot sya, meron syang saun.
Ito yan, yoyo.
Pero it's a wooden yoyo.
Hindi sya yung typical na nabibili sa mga stores.
I don't know if I still know how.
Sige.
Kaya mo yan?
Ayan!
Kaya pa pala.
Marunong pa.
Uy, nakaka-miss pala magyoyo.
Yun.
Akala mo marami pa akong alam.
Joke lang yun.
And this is our very own ligirol.
Dito, they used to rip this one.
Came into a place dito sa Valencia.
It's called Bongbong.
Ginagamit to for extreme sports.
Pwede mo syang itry.
Sasakay ka dito.
Tapos itulak ka lang.
Ganyan.
Sige, try natin.
Sige.
So, pwede mo syang ilikukan ito.
Para, ano lang.
Yan!
Ayan.
Try natin.
Sige, ilikuo mo.
Ganyan, ikaw yun.
Papunta na tayong dumagete.
Sa dumagete na tayo.
Sige, pwede mo itong sakyan.
Papunta na dumagete.
Kaya mo yan.
This is for you.
Thank you so much.
May name ko pa.
Ayan, ayan, ayan, ayan.
Sige pa.
May seal?
Yes, ito talaga yung shop namin.
Wow!
Yes.
So, most of the products here are made locally dito sa Negros Rental.
Kasi sabi ko nga kanina, we are a social enterprise kasi that roams around Negros.
For example, ito.
Firefighter yung may gawaan nito.
And para din sa inyo po.
Para di mo malimutan si Johnny Casa.
So, client na bako.
Locally made dito sa Negros.
Thank you so much.
Hey guys, we are now here in the old presidential building that was built in 1937.
Ginagawa siyang museum ngayon.
Wala pa siyang laman sa loob but it officially opens in December.
National museum na siya.
So, we'll definitely be coming back for that.
But for now, we're just greeting the people from Dumaguete.
And we're receiving such a warm welcome.
And I'm just grateful for this wonderful reception.
So, welcome to Adamo and your team.
We're so glad that you visited our restaurant.
It's a very small restaurant but we try our best to serve good food.
About the food, we're trying to serve local ingredients.
We're trying to mix it up.
It's not really specific to a certain cuisine.
But we try to make food that's familiar to Filipinos.
So, it's mostly Asian flavors with a mix of like the pork belly and smoked pork belly and pancit.
It's very Filipino.
All right.
Enjoy your lunch.
Thank you so much, Chef.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Hi, Chef.
Thank you so much for having us here in Adamo.
We just wanted to ask you about, you know, just how this all came about.
And since when have you been operating for?
So, we started in 2016.
The menu was not like this at first.
Most of the dishes are local.
But we try to present these dishes in a way that it still respects tradition.
But we try to innovate for an exciting day for the Filipinos.
Also, Chef, Adamo is the name of your restaurant.
It's to love and long for.
It's to love and?
And long for.
Really, what language is that?
I think it's Latin.
They've been operating since 2016.
And I heard that...
Are you the one who went to California?
Oh, yes.
I did work in Los Angeles.
Yeah, they already told me about that.
And then you came here too.
Yes, I kind of enjoyed how laid-back the market is.
The people around you are very, very gentle.
Like it's a city of gentle people.
Warm, yeah.
Warm.
It's totally different from Manila in a good way.
And I really enjoyed how you stayed there.
Yeah.
Hi, guys!
Hello!
Hi!
Thank you so much!
I'm so excited to be here!
Thank you so much!
Wow, so exciting!
Welcome to the Henry Resort Dumaguete!
Wow!
Wow, there's a souvenir shop!
We're here again.
We'll get a bag again, guys.
We should have a call for Juju on the goers.
Please comment what we should call on the goers.
Yes, I'm so excited to see my room!
Yes, by the way, my name is Sai Ba.
Yes, I'm Sai.
Oh, sure.
Oh, this way?
Sapanaging!
Wow, it's so beautiful!
Our resort is...
It's only inclusive for eight-house guests.
And also, this is the sensory bar,
the red kitchen,
and also the nuance.
Would you like us to tour?
Sure!
If you want to have a craft beers,
we also have here in the Grand Bay.
Yes!
Guys, I'll come by tonight. I'm just touring.
Thank you. I'll check this one.
This is...
Very nice!
Yeah, I've been seeing this online.
This is our red door,
our famous red door.
And I've been entering Ms. Julia,
you need to tap your keycard.
Oh, nice!
Galing!
Oh, this is where we're staying?
Yes, this is our room.
Wow, so it's very exclusive.
Wow!
Thank you, so nice!
Where's the banyo?
I wanna see the banyo soon.
Wow, I love the mood!
I'm gonna sleep so well tonight!
Hey guys, so we're now leaving
just for a bit.
We're now going to Silliman University.
I'm gonna wake up before I can sleep
because it's so nice in the room.
We've already achieved a lot in the morning
but there's still so much to see.
One day isn't enough.
Let's go!
Hello, so hello! Good afternoon,
Ms. Julia Barreto. My name is Kelly Del Rosario.
I'm from the Silliman University,
Core of Campus Ambassadors.
So the Silliman University,
Core of Campus Ambassadors is a voluntary
non-profit organization
whose main responsibility is really
to tour guests and to cater
to our guests of the university.
And with that said, I would like to welcome you
to our very own Silliman University
which we call the Campus by the Sea.
Let me just give you a brief
background about Silliman University.
So Silliman University was founded
in the year 1901.
Namely, Dr. David Sutherland Hebert
and his wife, Mrs. Laura Crooks Hebert.
So you might be wondering
if we are founded by the Heberts,
why is it called Silliman University?
And that is because of a Christian philanthropist
named Dr. Horace Brinsmed Silliman
who donated a total amount
of US$10,000
not in cash and not
in check, but in gold bars.
One of the most prestigious
universities in Visayas
can be found here in Dumaguete.
Welcome to Silliman University!
If you see, there's a lot of acacia trees
here in Silliman University.
306 acacia trees
here in the university.
Now, we don't just plant acacia trees
just for the sake of planting it.
So when we do plant an acacia tree
here in the university,
it signifies that a new building
is built in the university
or there is a change in governance
or a change in administration.
Okay guys, so our tour
here in the university is over.
There's so much history and culture here
so it's nice to know a little bit about it.
They will make us try
a cheese roll.
They've been telling us about this cheese roll
so I'm excited to give it a try.
Let's go!
Wow, I want to try your bread!
May I try?
What is this?
Hi!
You heard a lot about this.
Yeah, I did.
Is it really new?
Yeah, I hope you like it.
Thank you!
Mmm!
It's good!
Can I try this?
The cheese roll is good.
Let's try the Spanish bread.
Thank you!
Mmm!
It's good!
I also got the Spanish bread.
It's good!
Thank you!
Hi guys!
Hello!
Hi!
We are on our way
to our next location.
It's a secret for now.
Okay,
just a little bit of story.
A friend of ours from here
who helped take us around,
Renz said,
I went to Robinsons to do a mall show.
He remembered because he was the only one
who was still a little kid.
So,
this is not my first time in Dumaguete.
When I did the mall show,
it was just in and out.
You know, fly in, fly out.
Or maybe overnight.
But it's not my first time here, apparently.
But it feels like the first
because we didn't go around there.
Although it's nice to know that fun fact.
I really have the worst memory.
So thank you, Renz, for reminding us.
Hi, ma'am!
Thanks for having us here.
There's so much bread.
Hi, ma'am!
Oh, I love it!
Thanks for having us.
How long have you had this place for?
Last year, last August.
Do you bake?
To all of these?
I love bread so much.
If I was only a baker,
I'd probably have my own bakery.
Okay, I'm gonna buy this to take home.
I'm gonna surprise mom.
Oh, thank you!
It's everything that I wanted!
Brown bread.
Yeah, banana bread.
I'm gonna be so bloated.
Oh, I'm so excited.
So this is Doe and Oven.
And she owns this place.
And the mama!
One day, mom and I are gonna be just like...
Thanks for having us.
So they've only been here for a year.
How have things been?
Good, actually.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, we can't wait to try these.
We'll try.
Okay, I gotta try right away, guys.
Thank you so much.
Who wants to try with me, guys?
Okay, this is their
Cheese Milk Buns.
This is their bestseller.
And the next one is Hokkaido.
This is how it looks inside.
Okay, we're gonna try.
I love bread.
So this is like heaven.
It's so good!
Wow.
It's really good.
The way to my heart is bread.
So this is really experimental.
Yes!
It's really good.
Imagine with coffee.
Wow.
Wow, I finished it all.
It's just perfect.
And I like things like this
because also, you know,
when you want to gift someone something,
you just crave for something at home
that you could just get every two hours.
Right?
Like this is the one.
Thank you so much for having us
and for making us try.
I hope that when the vlog comes out,
it really attracts everybody to this.
10 out of 10. Thank you so much.
We're now here.
This is my first location.
But we're now here in the Rit Wall.
Wait, I'm so excited
because I love perfume.
So I'm excited to...
She's dragging me.
Hi! Oh my gosh.
Hi!
Welcome.
Wait, hold on.
This is where it's from?
We just opened the store
and moved here.
But we're from Manila originally.
Oh, okay. This is not the first time I'm seeing this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We've been in existence for 12 years.
Okay, guys.
So this is not my first time seeing this.
Apparently, this is like
your first branch here.
Yeah, it's our first branch outside of Manila.
Girl, tell us about Rit Wall.
So our advocacy is really
Philippine artisan and farmer
products but in a zero
or low waste manner.
People can refill, people bring
their bottles and they can
sell us food and things.
And we also have local chocolates.
Everything's from scratch?
Pretty much, yeah. Zero waste is
kind of our how and
supporting farmers and
local producers like our why.
How did you get into these?
I've been into plants
since I was young.
I just really like
flora and fauna.
I like history also. From history, you can
see what people used
before industrial society.
They used a lot of our local
oranges and lemons for their hair.
Like in Thailand,
they found the kaffir lime.
It's the same here. They used to use it.
There are a lot of plants, let's say,
that the citrus doesn't have much juice.
But actually, they were
traditionally used for the hair.
It is a small
store located in E.J. Blanco Drive
where they sell local, eco-friendly
organic products.
And one of the reasons why they started this
store is because they wanted to support
local producers and their products.
This is chocolate.
This is from the Maguete.
The one on the right.
Even the packaging is so cute.
These are T.U.N. people.
We make this borrowed.
The colors are so cute.
It's healthy, right?
It's a pili.
We make our own pili bottle.
And then we put
caramelized patis.
Are you vegan?
No, I'm not. But caramelized patis?
Oh, it's yours.
Do you sell these in Manila?
Yeah, we do.
It's so good.
It's not bad to indulge in.
Oh, yeah. I found it in an old
fishing net.
Oh, my gosh. Gone are the days.
Oh, my gosh. The last show I did,
she was my mom.
From this to my mom.
Yes.
The best days in Manila.
Thank you so much.
Next stop, Pinspired.
It is located along Rizal
Boulevard. Pinspired is a local
art store where they sell Pinoy
inspired postcards and
art collectibles made by local artists.
Let's check it out.
I'm Shindell, shop manager
of Pinspired.
Thank you so much for your office.
Thank you so much for visiting.
So to tell you a little bit about Pinspired,
we're a brand that collaborates
with local artists.
So our mission is to promote the
local art scene. I believe you've met some
of the artists this morning.
How was your trip to Mugna and
Shelter? Oh, my gosh. It was so much fun.
I was able to get around with them.
Oh, really?
I'm going to take a long cut.
Thank you so much.
The city of gentle people,
that's true. So Bohol,
we've been to Dumaguete,
we've been to City 4,
we're going to...
Aside from postcards
and art deals, we also have
collaborations with local
handlemakers and local
photographers.
Oh, it smells so good.
This is actually inspired from one of the
waterfalls in Valencia
called Casarolo, hence the name
Casarolo Tray.
Wow, everything smells so good.
We're all so good inspired by Casarolo.
Wow!
These are actually
paper beads. This is
the Julia earring. We actually have
one.
It's my name.
It's a Julia earring.
Really?
Can I get this?
We also have earrings
from there.
This is a coincidence
that this earring
is called Julia.
That's also help and support
because it's what
helps them feed their family.
It is designed by the owner herself
who is a Russian graphic artist.
Unfortunately, she couldn't be here today.
Oh, it's okay. Tell her to say hi.
She sends her best regards as well.
Oh, please tell her to say hi.
Can you take a picture with her?
I'll just check later. I'm excited again.
We've been to so many places and walked
today. That's why we deserve
a foot massage.
Let's go to Pantawan People's Park
along Rizal Boulevard to
enjoy the Pini Pilahang
Foot Massage.
Aside from the massage,
one of the favorite places
for locals and tourists here in Rizal Boulevard
is the Night Market
where they sell different street food
that is popular among kids, students,
young at heart, and
the whole family.
Hey guys, so the day
is over. We did a lot
today. It was such a fulfilling day
so we gotta end it with a really good meal.
We're here in Arbor
for dinner. We're ready to end the night.
Let's see where the night takes us.
Let's eat!
So yeah, the idea is to change
every 3 months or
3-4 months depending
on what is available in the season.
There's so much you can do.
We wanted to showcase that you have many different
produce here and you don't have to import
that much. You can showcase that.
If you're creative and you can
express yourself and retry to do,
then I think there's no
you shouldn't limit yourself.
You can change as much as you want.
It keeps it interesting for our
guests, for our chefs,
for the service team.
Challenge. Which of course we try to
keep the best selling items on the menu.
But also like
for example when we have items that
really like just very very seasonal
for a short time. Not
long enough here yet to
figure out which item that is.
Things like that.
It's something probably
for next year for us to encounter
and then we go
from there.
Is there anything that stood out?
For me it was the chicken and the
potatoes. Especially that the sides were
crusted. Because personally that's my
favorite side.
So it's a really nice
food. And the truffle
pasta.
Actually we don't have that on our menu anymore.
We have creamy shrimp pasta
but someone told me you're allergic to
seafood. So we adjusted it.
Glad that worked out.
Our adventure in Dumaguete is one for the
books. From Vanessa and our
other art friends from Shelter.
Babu and Mugna. Janna and our
local artists from Terracotta.
Our artisans from Subida.
Our second homes in the city.
Bricks and Henry's. Adamo.
Sileman University.
Rituals. Pinspired.
Pantawan People's Park.
And the Night Market.
Dumaguete was coined from the word
dagit or tisnatch.
And from dumaguete or tisun.
And true to its name, Dumaguete made
me captive to its beauty, art
and its gentle people.
Until the next episode
of JuJu on the Go. Where should we go
next? Let's go!
