Abaca can produce many things because when dried and processed it becomes very sturdy. Out of them can make furnitures, bags, slippers, ropes, nets, baskets, summer hats and many more.. It's one of the main products in Bicol, Philippines where I live.
Yes D &J, Kyle has promoted and traveled almost all the islands of the Philippines. ALSO helped the tourism threefold, showing our culture, simple living and welcoming characters given to all foreign visitors. He was given citizenship, going thru the legal processes, backed by Philippines Congress. Thanks for supporting and reacting endeavors by those who has contributed greatly to make this. World a better place. GOD BLESS.
Gees, in the states we spend so much on gym membership and buying all sorts of supplements and protein powders. That guy has attained the physic we spend so much money for just by pulling abaca fibers. The combination of a year round warm weather, daily consumption of natural organic foods and an active lifestyle just walking distance from the ocean helps too.
Hi a subscriber here. I originally come from the Philippines exactly from the Region (Bicol) where Kulas shot this video. A couple of things about Abaca (Scientific name: Musa Textilis or Manila Hemp as it is popularly known worldwide).The plant is endemic to the Philippines largely in the Bicol Region which also has the largest area planted for abaca, with 43.16 thousand hectares (as per 2019 stats). The Philippines is the top exporter of this product which due to its durability, flexibility, and resistance to saltwater damage, it is commonly used in fishing lines and nets, ropes, and twines. Other applications of abaca involve its use as a material in manufacturing bags, carpets, diapers, pill coatings, textile, and surgical masks. A footnote; Aside from Abaca the Philippines is also a major exporter of Copra (dried coconut meat for cooking oil making), pineapples amongst other things.
I miss my father. His death anniversary was 2 days ago. This was my father's job and my grand father's as well. It's a bit difficult. I tried it before when i was young (elementary years). But abaca farms in our area got destroyed by a certain virus. Abaca farmers declined also. It's been maybe around 20 yrs since the contamination. Even now abaca plants are still not growing well. Farmers became old, alot of them already died. Most of their descendants already have different jobs. Old abaca farms in the mountains are becoming grasslands and forests. I miss the smell of the new abaca fibers. ❤
I was originally from this area. In 1996, I moved out of the province to study in Manila. I haven't been to the island since 2010. Our island's primary product is abaca. It was used to manufacture coarse cloth for sacking, fishing nets and lines, ropes, and twines. The principal application of abaca fiber at the moment is in papermaking, while there is a thriving niche market for abaca furnishings, screens, clothes, and curtains. The abaca crop was damaged by the typhoon in 2021, but the island recovered. Kulas (Kyle Jennerman) always makes the trip there to assist in that particular location. There is a part 2 of this video and you see how beautiful the island is. On the other side of the island is literally the Pacific Ocean.
@@TripTipsPodcast If you've heard of Manila hemp, that's actually abaca rope. Most sailing ships of the 18th and 19th centuries, before the advent of plastic fiber, used Manila hemp. The galleon ships plying the Manila-Acapulco route used Manila hemp. The original pirates and privateers of the Caribbean used Manila hemp too.
My family worked for the family who had businesses in the village of buying copra/dried coconut. So they had to buy dried abaca fibers to make sacks for the copra. I started at 4yrs old working as an abaca twiner using a manual device. Next to that process was my father had to wave the twisted abaca to make large sacks for the copra. Another thing I experienced back then was making bags from abaca, called MACRAME. And that was for export. This was back in the 70’s and 80’s. I thought I was just playing, I didn’t find it hard work back then hehehehe.
FYI: Kyle kulas Jennerman (Becoming Filipino), FinnSnow (travel vlogger), Erwann Heusaff (FEATR, the fat kid inside a food and travel vlogger), Fearless and Far(travel vlogger), Bret Maverick (travel vlogger) are group of friends who are well known in UA-cam PH scene and from time to time have their adventures in the Philippines. They've been traveled to areas and locations that are hidden to foreign tourist only Filipino locals know about, hidden gem's of the Philippines.
OW I can relate! we are from Bicol, my father with relatives do this extraction "hagot" of abaca hemp/ fiber (called Manila hemp...) for a living in 1960's... "parahagot" would normally become muscular because of the tough work.. nice one D&J diving into our culture... Alaxan is a brand of pain reliever, endorsed by Manny Pacquiao
Alaxan is a capsule pain reliever,,every farmer here take that med.after a long hard work day in the farm,, Abaca used to make,shoes,bag, accesories..and many more... Thank you Idol for another react video.❤❤❤ Salamat at mabuhay❤
The fibers of the Abaca are used in the production of handicraft products such as: handbags, hats, shoes, slippers, lamps, carpets, accessories, clothing, furniture, and wallcoverings.- today it focuses more in paper making .~can't wait to see u guys delve in our culture.😊 i always appreciate your interest in our culture and music., not just me but all filipino's in this community.thank you.💜
Alaxan is an over-the-counter pain reliever for muscle pain. Abaca is primarily grown for ropes and textiles. It's like banana in that its not woody and is known commercially as Manila hemp.
Fun fact: The Philippines is the #1 exporter of abaca or manila hemp which is more popularly produced into ropes which is one, if not the strongest ropes used in ships. Many products are produced from abaca too, from papers to bags, home decors and stuff.

Kyle is very lucky guy to get a privilegde and becoming filipino citizen so now he is dual (canadian and filipino citizen) he can do whatever he wants to do or live and buying a properties too.
@@TripTipsPodcast A thing to keep in mind about owning property here; Foreigners cannot "own" land (other rules may apply for business). Of course, if you marry a local, NOW you can, as long as she is the primary land owner, such as she owns 51%, and you own 49%. Which is the way my own household works. I can own the house, car, etc...but not fully own the land. It is done for obvious reasons, so foreigners cannot just walk in, buy up all the land, and then there is no Philippines left!
13:44 Alaxan is a brand of medicine used for the relief of body pain. Sometimes, people here use the word Alaxan as a colloquial term for alak (liquor). We, Ilokanos say Araxan since my dialect for liquor is 'arak'. The ripped guy said "Drink Alaxan after this." because usually, men drink after a hard day's work.
Alaxan, is a brand of analgesic that contains ibuprofen and paracetamol. An over-the-counter analgesic drug here in the Philippines for muscle pain relief.
"Makusog", the word that Kulas uttered out loud as he was trying to use the sharp contraption is Visayan (one of the more than 100 languages and dialects of the Philippines - I think he is more comfortable speaking in Visayan than Tagalog), means "strong" or "malakas" in Tagalog. Well, you need to be strong (and become even stronger in the process) to pull that off and survive the rest of the day, every day doing that. "Alaxan" is a brand of a pain reliever. Manny Pacquiao is one of their major endorsers. Many Filipino young men in rural areas tend to have such rugged physique. All that walking, climbing, pulling, pushing and many forms of manual labour naturally do that to the human body. Even young lasses have great physique. But as one gets older and does less as the young takes over, the men also tends to drink more (hence the big bellies) while the women tend to lose their lovely shape to more motherly forms due to childbirth and the hard life taking care of the entire family and/or working in the fields as well. Sometimes, in urban settings where life can be as much or even more challenging, some guys can be this ripped as well. Usually, they are the "kargador". The ones who do the heavy lifting like carrying sacks of rice/vegetables/fruits for deliveries; kilograms upon kilograms of fish and other seafood in the fish market; big buckets of water to provide to families in areas where there's hardly any water. If only they have access to the right kinds of and if there's always enough to eat, it would be great. But the hard life takes a toll. Bad habits in the metro learned by some likewise takes a toll. And soon, their health suffers.
That’s sad 😞 By the way thanks for all the great info. I’ll have to try that pain killer. hope you could make it to our livestream on kick today at 5pm pst. Doing all song reactions over on kick.com/dandjreact because UA-cam shuts our live streams down if we do more than a few songs. Copyright issues. Kick is very creator friendly. Come join us tomorrow. Here. Kick.com/dandjreact it would mean a lot 🥺❤️
Abaca is used to make Manila Rope which were used in mooring the ships. This is one of the main export products of Philippines before. Now abaca are replaced by Nylon and other synthetic fibers.
Becoming Pilipino is Kyle Jennerman from Canada..he is also called Kulas ..a name given to him by pilipinos..as far as i know he is the only travel vlogger whose been in 81 provinces out of 82 provinces in the Philippines
If you have not seen a Filipino that well-toned, you have to explore more the provincial side. These men are sculpted by hard labor. Most young males would have a body like that especially in the province or rural area.
If exported, you may also know this as Manila Hemp.... ropes big and strong to moore down (tie) big ships at the dock... before nylon ropes were invented. There are other uses for the hemp fibers... clothes, bags, etc.
Alaxan medicine tablet is one of teeth or whole body anti inflamatory/pain releiver along with other pain relievers under the generic name - mefenamic acid..they take a dose maybe every after too much hard strenuous works.
Abaca is highly used to make carpets, rugs, etc...and is also widely used to make ropes. Also, it is very resistant to salt water. Abaca plants look a lot like banana trees. Close resemblance. It's also very good for fishing nets and fishing lines. Very hard to break. The fishing line on my fishing pole is abaca! I bought it locally. They can also makes hats and stuff out of it. It has many uses as you can see. Put a few strands together, and you've got a cable!
@@TripTipsPodcast No prob. I'm sure you're getting a few comments similar, or a bit helpful, to mine. I comment on about 50 to 70 sites a day, on average. Only a very few am I subbed to. Many different topics. But, as I mentioned, I don't do reactions myself. Not enuf time. Yet!
It’s funny, I’ve been living in the US for more than 20 years. On one of my visits to the Philippines, I went to the same province of Bicol. I saw a guy who was working on abaca and he also had the same physique, probably they have same physique because of the trade that they are in.
Let me explain if i could get it right.. since i am laughing to both of you for your question.. about ALAXAN. hahaha!! The place Catanduanes is one of five parts of Bicol region(region 5) down south. (Naga City, Legazpi City, Sorsogon City, (i am from this city)Catanduanes and Masbate. Although Masbate is somehow partly there's visayan language, but they're still part of Bicol region.) The younger dude's body is shredded/ripped because of his daily routine job at the farm and most of all that kind of job toiling abaca. That is a natural gym exercise. Now, the Alaxan he said, is a part of the farmer's joke, but that is a kind of muscle relaxant pill if you really got a muscle pain. So it is running as a joke to the farmers if you are over worked. Actually, Abaca is a family of Banana, but it uses only for making it a rope and other things that could make from the strands. Catanduanes though is the center of typhoon every year that's why the abaca are all down as Kyle Jennerman or kulas of Becoming Filipino visit there. Catanduanes has a really good tourists spot in there. Anyway, thanks for reacting this video. God bless!!
You should see his house and lot by the beach on Cateel Davao is so nice and hes using solar panels . From what i seen hes the only vlogger ever to cover every provinces in all of the Philippines 😊 He is a filipino citizen now btw . Hes from Comox British Columbia Canada ..Kyle Jennerman aka Kulas.
Young men (not all) but in the province (rural areas) are usually ripped or lean, because of hard work in the farm. If you don't have machine, you physically use your whole body. I know this because I have many relatives in the rural areas and I can tell the difference of a person who's from urban place. I was born and raised in the city and when I went to rural areas, men look like they go to the gym regularly. Unfortunately, if you see men out of shape, these are the one who drinks a lot of alcoholic beverage (beer, and hard ones). In the rural areas, there is always TUBA (coconut wine). Coconut trees are everywhere in the rural areas. 😀
Abaca is Manila hemp, the fiber of which is made into textile used in the tradional Barong tagalog, men's traditional formal shirt/suit, but now also used in women's fashion wear. The fiber's versatiloty is endless, can be woven into hats, bags, decors/ornaments, etc. The straw is so strong that it's been used for twines and ropes even for maritime cordage before nylon was invented in the mid 20th century. Now it's used in various paper products like teabag, filter paper, paper bags and even banknotes😊
abaca or. jute is whatbyounuse to make. ripes and other local handicrafts here in the Philippines and i believe that it also gets exported to other countries. what's sad is people. like them do not earn a lot from doing it but once it gets processed by factories or bigger companies making handicrafts, the sellibg price of the product is probably 10x times or more..
You can use Abaca to make bags, hats, baskets and slippers. Before plastics, Abaca is basically use to handle and store stuff. You can also use Abaca to make furniture like chairs, beds, table, etc.
Most of the abaca harvest is sold to the Central Bank of the Philippine where the fibers are used for the production of banknotes. The material is part of the anti-counterfeiting features of the notes.
I am really enjoying your reactions to The Philippines and cannot wait for your trip to my motherland and watch all your reactions as you experience the beauty the culture of the country. May I request for you to react to Why So Many Israelis Moving to the Philippines Now, thank you and til next time take care🧐🤔🔥✌️❤️🇵🇭🙏🇵🇭🇺🇸
Aw thank you 😊❤️ hope you could make it to our livestream on kick today at 5pm pst.

That's in bicol, my hometown i've learn that during spanish colonization in the Philippines they use the abaca for rope during the gallion trade.. now abaca is used in many things like in philippine bank note it has a mix of abaca.😊
I highly suggest your trip to the Philippines will focus on immersion rather than touristy experiences, just like what Kulas did. These are indeed "classic moments". Try watch the rest of the videos he did with other vloggers. Those were fun and interesting. By the way, "lamok" means mosquitos.
"Alaxan FR" is a famous medicine in the Ph for relieving muscle pains that is why they were laughing when Kulas asked what does he drink (the muscle guy) and he said Alaxan 😂😂 (of course he was joking 🤣)
That Place Was One Of The Place Fighter Boys Visited!!! During That Time Kulas Helped Them Build Their Houses & Livelihood!!! Bought A Few Fishing Boat For The Community!!! That's Why Kulas Is Well Loved!!! Knows How To Give Back!!! Thanks!!!
Alaxan is an ibuprofen-paracetamol basically a pain reliever. Abaca fibers is used for making yarns to clothing's, paper, fiber concrete, floor/roofing tiles etc. Kyle "Kulas" Jennermann aka Becoming Filipino made a history in the Philippines. His was taken to the Senate and was reviewed to become the first(I think) naturalized Filipino without having any lineage ties to the country. He was declared a Filipino Citizen last year because of his contribution to the country in promoting not only the nice spots in the Philippines but to be honest he went to the most unheard of corners of the country to help and show what beauty that Province is to offer. He showed what the other side of the Philippines to the world, not the fancy high rise buildings in the Metro or how fun the parties on the beaches could be but more of what the regular Filipino people lives on a day to day.
Abaca is a strong fiber used for handicrafts, papers, bags, textiles even our peso bills contain abaca fiber. Alaxan btw is a brand for pain relief (ibuprofen) But what the man is trying to say drink alaksan alak means liquor so after works most Filipino men drink liquor or alcohol.
I love the fact that you guys is different among the rest of UA-cam reactors. You like and love and choose videos that is not so flashy, I mean real videos, real life that shows different perspectives and spectrums. You want real people and not the instagrammers type which usually filtered, you know what I mean. Choosing videos of people from different parts of the world to which you can see how they live, how they exist and everything. Real people that can educate us through their humble ability and potentials. To which we can see and listen and learn from them, as the famous line from the poem DESEDERATA, "listen even to the ignorant, because they too have their stories" for the biggest room in the world is the room for learning, that is what you guys is doing. From an "Eagle-eye" point of view, you tend to know and see things in detail, from real aspect of life. This is a giveaway of your characters that you guys are deep people. Once again, thank you for always giving a room in your channel things about my country. Keep it up👍
Kulas formed this group of vloggers called Fighter Boys with Finn Snow (you've watched his vlog already), Bret Maverick, Mike of Fearless & Far and Daniel Marsh( Filipino-Irish).
I'm disgustingly NOT ripped! This guy is an obvious worker type, who does the hard jobs, and the ones that make your body look like his naturally. We have a few guys like this in our area, naturally ripped by their work, that make me jealous as hell every time I see them! And they drink a lot as well! Abaca farming is a b*itch of a job, and no one likes it. This vlogger you're watching is well known in the P.I. It's not hard for him to get "cooperation" or willingness to allow his videos bc of this. The Gov't knows him quite well!
Last year (becoming Filipino )Kyle Jennerman aka Kulas,received Filipino citizenship through an Act of Congress in 2023.They are all Vloggers who loved Philipinnes and local people.They have a group name “ Fighter Boys” Finn Snow,Daniel Marsh,Bret Maverick, fearless and far(Mike) and Becoming Filipino.❤❤❤❤Thank you

If you have not seen a Filipino that well-toned, you have to explore more the provincial side. These men are sculpted by hard labor. Most young males would have a body like that especially in the province or rural area.
That’s so crazy. You know how much Americans spend to look like that?😂🇵🇭❤️
Ababa is manila hemp. Used to make ropes before the nylon ones.
Very cool
If exported, you may also know this as Manila Hemp.... ropes big and strong to moore down (tie) big ships at the dock... before nylon ropes were invented. There are other uses for the hemp fibers... clothes, bags, etc.
So many use cases
ALAXAN is a Pain reliever.
Thanks 😊
Do Filipinos use Kratom for pain relief or for relaxation?
We dont have that here, we just use efficasent oil, 🙂
@@TripTipsPodcast Another pain reliever mostly used by US is Advil.
@@TripTipsPodcast we dont have that brand here.. We take pills or some ointment to relieve muscle pain.
@@aileen7655 👍👍
Alaxan medicine tablet is one of teeth or whole body anti inflamatory/pain releiver along with other pain relievers under the generic name - mefenamic acid..they take a dose maybe every after too much hard strenuous works.
Thanks for the info 😊
I like your videos, specially when you featured about the Philippines, I love it. Thank you guys.
Thanks our travel Travel Asia videos will be every Thursday
Abaca is highly used to make carpets, rugs, etc...and is also widely used to make ropes. Also, it is very resistant to salt water. Abaca plants look a lot like banana trees. Close resemblance. It's also very good for fishing nets and fishing lines. Very hard to break. The fishing line on my fishing pole is abaca! I bought it locally. They can also makes hats and stuff out of it. It has many uses as you can see. Put a few strands together, and you've got a cable!
Thanks for sharing this with us
@@TripTipsPodcast No prob. I'm sure you're getting a few comments similar, or a bit helpful, to mine. I comment on about 50 to 70 sites a day, on average. Only a very few am I subbed to. Many different topics. But, as I mentioned, I don't do reactions myself. Not enuf time. Yet!
It’s funny, I’ve been living in the US for more than 20 years. On one of my visits to the Philippines, I went to the same province of Bicol. I saw a guy who was working on abaca and he also had the same physique, probably they have same physique because of the trade that they are in.
That’s exactly what it’s from
Catanduanes Province in Bicol Region is an island province and is front to typhoon, but the landscape are incredible...
By products of abacas are
Lampshades
Chairs
Accessories
Furniture
Baskets
Slippers.
This abaca is widely used in country
So many use cases
Let me explain if i could get it right.. since i am laughing to both of you for your question.. about ALAXAN. hahaha!!
The place Catanduanes is one of five parts of Bicol region(region 5) down south. (Naga City, Legazpi City, Sorsogon City, (i am from this city)Catanduanes and Masbate. Although Masbate is somehow partly there's visayan language, but they're still part of Bicol region.) The younger dude's body is shredded/ripped because of his daily routine job at the farm and most of all that kind of job toiling abaca. That is a natural gym exercise. Now, the Alaxan he said, is a part of the farmer's joke, but that is a kind of muscle relaxant pill if you really got a muscle pain. So it is running as a joke to the farmers if you are over worked. Actually, Abaca is a family of Banana, but it uses only for making it a rope and other things that could make from the strands. Catanduanes though is the center of typhoon every year that's why the abaca are all down as Kyle Jennerman or kulas of Becoming Filipino visit there. Catanduanes has a really good tourists spot in there. Anyway, thanks for reacting this video. God bless!!
Thank you for sharing this with us
You should see his house and lot by the beach on Cateel Davao is so nice and hes using solar panels .
From what i seen hes the only vlogger ever to cover every provinces in all of the Philippines 😊
He is a filipino citizen now btw .
Hes from Comox British Columbia Canada ..Kyle Jennerman aka Kulas.
I will check it out! That’s so cool
Young men (not all) but in the province (rural areas) are usually ripped or lean, because of hard work in the farm. If you don't have machine, you physically use your whole body. I know this because I have many relatives in the rural areas and I can tell the difference of a person who's from urban place. I was born and raised in the city and when I went to rural areas, men look like they go to the gym regularly. Unfortunately, if you see men out of shape, these are the one who drinks a lot of alcoholic beverage (beer, and hard ones). In the rural areas, there is always TUBA (coconut wine). Coconut trees are everywhere in the rural areas. 😀
I see
Alaxan is a brand name of Ibuprofen in the Philippines
Alaxan is like a muscles pain or body pain just like that.hello to both of you D&J
👍😊
We have a few abaca in the backyard used to tie for bulks of harvested rice
Abaca is Manila hemp, the fiber of which is made into textile used in the tradional Barong tagalog, men's traditional formal shirt/suit, but now also used in women's fashion wear. The fiber's versatiloty is endless, can be woven into hats, bags, decors/ornaments, etc. The straw is so strong that it's been used for twines and ropes even for maritime cordage before nylon was invented in the mid 20th century. Now it's used in various paper products like teabag, filter paper, paper bags and even banknotes😊
Strong fibers
abaca or. jute is whatbyounuse to make. ripes and other local handicrafts here in the Philippines and i believe that it also gets exported to other countries. what's sad is people. like them do not earn a lot from doing it but once it gets processed by factories or bigger companies making handicrafts, the sellibg price of the product is probably 10x times or more..
So many use cases
If you watch the becoming Filipino you learn a lot about Philippines the peoples place and more...
We are
@@TripTipsPodcast
Thanks a lot of the desire to learn more about Philippines.
@@lolyviclaurente2039 😊👍😊👍
You can use Abaca to make bags, hats, baskets and slippers. Before plastics, Abaca is basically use to handle and store stuff. You can also use Abaca to make furniture like chairs, beds, table, etc.
Very cool
Alaxan is a pain reliever and the guy said that he will take that before doing his work so that no body ache after work 😉

Most of the abaca harvest is sold to the Central Bank of the Philippine where the fibers are used for the production of banknotes. The material is part of the anti-counterfeiting features of the notes.

ALAXAN IS A MEDICINE FOR FEVER AND PAIN RELIEVER TOO
Thanks
I hope to see you in your next video that you are here in the Philippines guys and enjoy here and you are always welcome
Thank you so much 🇵🇭🙏😊❤️
Alaksan could be an euphemism for alak (liquor) or alaxan (pain reliever) so he can chill out after a hard day's work.
So cool
I highly suggest your trip to the Philippines will focus on immersion rather than touristy experiences, just like what Kulas did. These are indeed "classic moments". Try watch the rest of the videos he did with other vloggers. Those were fun and interesting.
By the way, "lamok" means mosquitos.
Love to get him on a live. Finn talked to me the other day. Jumping on a live soon
"Alaxan FR" is a famous medicine in the Ph for relieving muscle pains that is why they were laughing when Kulas asked what does he drink (the muscle guy) and he said Alaxan 😂😂 (of course he was joking 🤣)
Nice😂
ALAXAN is Ibuprofen, Paracetamol.
I see
That Place Was One Of The Place Fighter Boys Visited!!! During That Time Kulas Helped Them Build Their Houses & Livelihood!!! Bought A Few Fishing Boat For The Community!!! That's Why Kulas Is Well Loved!!! Knows How To Give Back!!! Thanks!!!
Those guys are freaking awesome! Talked to Finn snow. We are going live in the next 5-8 weeks.
Alaxan basically is a pain reliever, probably to ease the body ache after a long day of hard work
He is a Filipino citizen now.Philippines government recognised him already.He is a Philippines passport holder now
Pain reliever, like aleve
Alaxan - a brand of Ibuprofen
I need to try
His name is Kyle Jenermann from British Columbia Canada
He’s amazing at vlogging
Abaca fiber, they make clothes n.a lot of things
Alaxan is an ibuprofen-paracetamol basically a pain reliever.
Abaca fibers is used for making yarns to clothing's, paper, fiber concrete, floor/roofing tiles etc.
Kyle "Kulas" Jennermann aka Becoming Filipino made a history in the Philippines. His was taken to the Senate and was reviewed to become the first(I think) naturalized Filipino without having any lineage ties to the country. He was declared a Filipino Citizen last year because of his contribution to the country in promoting not only the nice spots in the Philippines but to be honest he went to the most unheard of corners of the country to help and show what beauty that Province is to offer. He showed what the other side of the Philippines to the world, not the fancy high rise buildings in the Metro or how fun the parties on the beaches could be but more of what the regular Filipino people lives on a day to day.
Thanks for sharing this with us
Abaca is a strong fiber used for handicrafts, papers, bags, textiles even our peso bills contain abaca fiber.
Alaxan btw is a brand for pain relief (ibuprofen)
But what the man is trying to say drink alaksan alak means liquor so after works most Filipino men drink liquor or alcohol.
I see
Medicine like Tylenol
This abaca they turned it to furniture wall or flooring and many things
Very strong material
I love the fact that you guys is different among the rest of UA-cam reactors. You like and love and choose videos that is not so flashy, I mean real videos, real life that shows different perspectives and spectrums. You want real people and not the instagrammers type which usually filtered, you know what I mean. Choosing videos of people from different parts of the world to which you can see how they live, how they exist and everything. Real people that can educate us through their humble ability and potentials. To which we can see and listen and learn from them, as the famous line from the poem DESEDERATA, "listen even to the ignorant, because they too have their stories" for the biggest room in the world is the room for learning, that is what you guys is doing. From an "Eagle-eye" point of view, you tend to know and see things in detail, from real aspect of life. This is a giveaway of your characters that you guys are deep people. Once again, thank you for always giving a room in your channel things about my country. Keep it up👍
Thanks for sharing this with us and for supporting us 😊👍😊👍
I’ve already meet kulas last month in 7 - eleven in Cagayan City Mindanao.. Kulas bought a bread & coffee he’s very nice and very jolly person
I’d love to get him on a livestream. I’m getting Finn snow on in a few weeks
Alaxan is a muscle pain reliever
Ok thanks 😊

Thanks
Kulas formed this group of vloggers called Fighter Boys with Finn Snow (you've watched his vlog already), Bret Maverick, Mike of Fearless & Far and Daniel Marsh( Filipino-Irish).
Yes we are going to try and get them on a live stream in a couple months
His name is kyle jennerman a canadian vlogger who become a filipino and they called him kulas
Abaca can be used as a local fiber to make garments too
Alaxan is for body pain after a hard work
Abaca is the one of our native materials that so much uses like bags, shoes, dresses and so many more for local or export products😊
I'm disgustingly NOT ripped! This guy is an obvious worker type, who does the hard jobs, and the ones that make your body look like his naturally. We have a few guys like this in our area, naturally ripped by their work, that make me jealous as hell every time I see them! And they drink a lot as well! Abaca farming is a b*itch of a job, and no one likes it. This vlogger you're watching is well known in the P.I. It's not hard for him to get "cooperation" or willingness to allow his videos bc of this. The Gov't knows him quite well!
Kyle Jennerman fell in love with Mindanao that's why he lives there.
I love Kulas. A name he adopted for himself. Maybe you can get in touch with him when you're already settled here in the Philippines.
We’ll work on that
Lamok means mosquito, alaxan is a pain killer it could be a tablet or capsule... i enjoyed watching this❤❤❤
Thank you
Abaca fibers has many by-products, in can be made into bags, slippers, ropes, etc., . Alaxan is a medicine for pain reliever (paracetamol)...
