I think it's mackerel
This is squid
Explain how they cooked this
They wrapped it in a leaf from a banana tree and then cooked that over the fire
This is buri and fish soup
And this is some kind of sauce
Some kind of sweet and sour, fruity sauce
There also a fruit called "lansones"
We arrived here, talked with the kids a while, played a little basketball
And then the kids and team sang some songs together
Before you got on the dirtbike, you had a choice
And you had a chance to go back
So why did you decide to continue on to the village?
Weren't you scared?
Yes I was. But you only live once.
When I tried it, it was a great experience
So altogether, how was it?
It was great. It was the right choice.
Did you think at some point, "I think I'm gonna die!!"?
Yeah, I thought that at first
When your parents see this video, what are they going to say?
When my mom sees this she'll probably cry
Actually, she'll probably be mad at you! She say "John!! What were you thinking!!! You had to know about this!"
But when we got here, the children were everywhere
And it was really moving. It brought me to tears.
For me it was kinda the same. As someone coming as a company employee and to be honest, I thought maybe we should stop
But I wanted to come, and I'm honestly glad I did
You didn't want everyone else to hear that you'd turned back?
Yeah, that wouldn't have been good. There was no need to turn back.
But when I thought about being here with the company, I though maybe we should go back. I was conflicted.
I was conflicted but in the end we had to go anyway
You thought we'd better stop.
Yeah, maybe, you know there was Human Resources to think about, etc...
But John was going to go so I thought, alright...
...and then I regretted that when we were on the bikes! But after everything, I was glad I went.
Today the most moving thing was the songs, and the music
Music can really cross borders, can't it.
I was glad to have music
Now we are... what's this village's name?
Basically somewhere way out in the mountains around Davao
Is it dangerous around here?
I don't know if it is or not.
It's so dark there's nothing to see
You can hears frogs and bugs, and that's about it. Saw some firelflies.
What time is it now?
It's about 7:40 at night.
Why aren't you sleeping?
The villagers are sleeping, but we are going to eat now.
Here it is. The Matigsalog tribe.
That's who is living here. We arrived by motorbike.
Someone said we could get here by car, but there was no way
So I don't know how they are going to come get us tomorrow
But I sure am glad I came.
People here go to bed at 5:30
We arrived late and now everyone is sleeping except us
And then everyone wakes up at 5 am.
Yeah, they live according to very "natural day"
Yes, they awake with the sunrise and sleep with the sunset
I'd love to show this to my kids
I'd like all the kids in Japan to see this
It's really pure. There are no video games...
Happiness and poverty are separate things is something you can really feel
You almost feel like Japanese kids are more pitiable
So I feel like people should experience it to understand...
