The Government should take the initiative to support this Salt Making Industry.

Not just salt. Its just so epic our government doesnt support what we have. Local resources, untapped potentials, etc. They always prioritize investors from different country.

Because they make more money from kickbacks from businessmen in the import industry.

Shortsighted greed. That’s always been the folly of our people and our leadership. The irony is, if that desire was tempered, disciplined and most importantly shared, everyone would have ended up richer.

despite being an agricultural country, our number 1 product in 2022 was electronics. Our country had become an industrial country. Government focuses on industrialization rather than supporting our local products and agriculture. So sad

Exactly! Those greedy rich and powerful mainly support importation bec they can't own the lands anymore. Even the poorest farmer will not easily sell his small farmland as he consider it his family's lifeline. Kaya kung may price hike due to increase of demand daw, the common action of the government is to increase importation. They always do that while the support they gave to our farmers remain abysmal.

Because we are not a socialist country. Feel free to let investor from other countries to invest on our local product to export them.

I rarely comment on your videos but I think this is worth it. I am a foodie at heart and I remember growing up enjoying tultul on our rice my Mom always have one brick in our kitchen. I hope this is not too late to revive the lost trade of salt making in our country. Looking forward to finding one when I visit my family.

we have Tul-tol factory in Guimaras.

The Philippines had been a producer of wide variety of raw materials, and yet, the economic incompetence of our country doesn't give us the best advantage over these resources. For instance, we are one of the top producers of coconut. However, most of these are being exported. Coconuts, which are low value products, are being sold to these countries at a lower price, only for them to process it to a higher value product like oils and cosmetics and for our country to buy them back at a very much higher price. To add, we also have in our country the first and only copper mine in the entire Southeast Asia. Similarly, all of these are being exported for processing only for us to buy them back again at a much higher price.

We use to own copper extracting plant in Leyte put up by the late Pres. Ferdinand Edralin Marcos Sr. The original workers were trained in Japan. But like the other govt corps, it was sold by the Cory or Ramos govt.

Neoliberalism at its finest

FEATR deserves so much recognition here and abroad. They can already file several vids to form an entire series in Netflix! Wishing! ❤

I was born and raised in the northern part of the Philippines, Cagayan and lived not far from the sea. We have locals that make salt and am proud of them and we support their product and I can vividly recall those long hard sticks where the actual salt drip from, my father used to get a free of those and eat them. We grew up almost every morning having that in the table as our viand. Life was then but was fun. Those years were unforgettable and missed by many.

I'm really thankful that people like the FEATR Team exists for divulging these information hidden from the public I hope you guys are proud of yourselves cause heck I am! Much love ❤❤❤

I will NOT skip ADS. Featr deserves our support!

Eversince i saw your salt episodes, i've revised my salt purchases from 100% iodized to 80% unbranded local salts and 20% iodized factory salts

Our local tradition in processing salt does not damages nature. It requires hardwork, passion, patience, commitment.

Thanks to FEATR I'm learning so much about our country's culture.

I really love the documentaries you made. Especially those that support local farmers/businesses.

I remember when I was young, my lola always go to Pasuquin or Burgos to buy salr. She said, that the quality is better than those available in grocery stores.

God all these Artisan deserves more.. Let us help and buy local!

I have a former professor from a state university conducting salt research in a town and converting rice fields into salt fields

This content is world class and full of informations. Erwan is a great producer and he really immersed in our ethnic dying aşın industry..thank you Erwan your work is applauded and appreciated.😊

let's support the local and traditional SALT MAKERS

Im learning so much from these Videos. Thank you for researching our food histories and heirlooms. This Channel should be on Netflix, this is more of a Philippine Traditional Food Documentary as just a KZread Vlog. More Power to you and keep it up ❤

Wow, thank you

Hats off to the asinderos of Pinas. Lorlie seems acutely aware of challenges of the industry and madly impressed of her astute observation and suggestions on how to improve their predicament. Glad that FEATR find passionate people. I was in the Canary Islands a few years back and I was impressed by their asinan and sea to table preparation. Can the big hotels and restaurants in our country work with the asinderos? I would love to see a budbud on my table instead of my regular salt shaker.

This salt making could be part of a tour...then could sell to tourists.. Even your videos useful for tourism marketing in all tourists center in our islands..

Worth it! OMG! I have thyroid condition and sometimes I refuse to eat at restaurants because they use IODIZED Salts. I had to get my own salt at the palengke rather than the grocery. ❤

I hope that the Irasan industry will come back and thrive again. I grew up witnessing my Tatay (what we call my grandpa) go and make salt at the Iras. He labors during the dry months there and at the bukid during rainy season. He was able to send my mom and aunt to finish college through farming. Grateful for him and our family's humble beginnings. May God bless our local artisans and farmers.

Finally, we will be able to taste, use and buy our own special salt! Thank you for always being informative. We are learning a lot from you!❤❤❤

Hopefully our government would reach out to your team in seeking help to map out and establish those Artisanal Salt Makers

Thank you for featuring these amazing artisans. Growing up I remember my mom had a large clay pot in our kitchen, containing Filipino made salt. She said it was better than the table salt that’s from a grocery. I agree with her. Let’s continue to support our local salt makers. We should not let these traditions die.

You can buy the Asin Tibuok in Bohol Bee Farm (Dauis branch) for Php 900. It's heart warming to see tourists flocking to the shelf containing asin tibuok mentioning they saw it in Erwan's documentary. Good job featrYou can also buy it on a roadside stall somewhere in Panglao but i don't know the exact location/ street.

What an eye opener. Thank you for sharing these amazing stories.

Non locals would never understand this craft thank you for documenting this and be shown to the world.

I hope TV stations will give FEATR a segment or channel

thnks much sir erwan. we prray for more producers of salt in the Phils. Kudos to all who choose to continue , God bless mga kababayan. we are proud of u!!!

God bless po ❤️❤️❤️ sa mga kapwa ko Pilipino 🙏🙏🙏

Napaka optimistic at passionate ng mga asindero nato. Sana yung new generation ay maakit sa craft nila kasi sayang naman maputol yung tradition. Kumbaga ang asin ay family heirloom na handed down from one generation to another. Also great production/compilation ❤

Reviving and Reinvigorating the commercial production levels of TulTul as a possible lucrative source of livelihood of our local salt farmers that could be sustained, is a vital concern that DA and DTI agencies should make deliberate efforts to support, promote and save. Attn: DA & DTI!

Thank you FEATR for voicing out this issue.

Wow! I really enjoyed this documentary about salt making in the Philippines. Hoping our government give full support to improve and continue this tradition of salt making. Someday I would visit Philippines and taste our country s own made in different form of processing, the Budbud, and specially the tultul with coconut milk. So proud of you all salt makers, salute to you all!!! Mabuhay!!!

All my life I've only known of major agricultural commodities in the Philippines that's being harvested, such as rice, corn, coconut, and sugar cane. This documentary has opened my eyes to the real beauty of our culture and the resilience of our artisans in the face of hardship. Thank you for making this documentary.

You and your team really goes beyond documenting. FEATR always alwayss warm my heart! I am grateful, entertained, educated, awed.. always wholesome in another level! Loveee 🤌🏼💖💗

You Creat the best philipino vlogs!!! Thank you

This is a very good documentary, worthy to be shown to my students. Well shot, protagonists able to describe their experience, truly interesting. Salt making has to be supported by us, Filipinos, by patronizing the salts that our salt farmers have ably produced.

Thank you for this docu. Pls continue to make documentaries like these as they are very informative and they create social awareness.

Sea salt is much better than Iodized salt.

Our ancestors has been using these salt and they lived till a hundred.

It's delightful to see my hometown of Pasuquin getting recognized. I was born and raised in Pasuquin, and I have fond memories of my late grandfather buying "ted-ted," which means "dripping" and refers to a cone-shaped salt usually found under the basket of the salt which you can see in 9:44. We would often enjoy merienda made with ted-ted, pork fat or cooking oil, and rice.

I just discovered this channel because of the Ninong Ry collab and has since binge watched lots of videos. I love the concept of food-related travels, especially regional highlights. More of this! Itd be more interesting to dive deep about some history of how some products came to the country or region and how they change overtime. High-quality content as always! More power!

Thank you for making this video. This helps our local salt farmers a lot. I hope the government will address our issues with rice. The price is skyrocketing in the local market.

Thank you for featuring a lot of our treasures. 🙏🏼✨

More documentaries like this!

Awesome! Many thanks to you Erwan. This is not possible if it’s not of your inspiring documentaries about phil. salt. Kudos to you and the whole team of FEATR. More power!

ironic, right? food is sad without salt. it is high time for us to invest on our salt industry.

There is more money for people who is in the importing business and more kickbacks for politicians.

Grabe tong FEATR sobrang gaganda at informative ng mga episodes.

Wow thanks for all the work to produce this. Very interesting and informative

Yes I'm going to buy our own homegrown salt been buying pink salt, sea salt other imported salt when I watched your feature I was wondering where are our Philippine salt. So excited for this.

Kudos to you Erwan for doing this

SNR has been selling Kirkland non-iodized salt for a very long time and no government agency has flagged them when the old Asin Law was in effect. But I am very much happy with the new law allowing non-iodized salt to be sold in the market. Kudos to Featr for igniting the discussion and challenging the lawmakers to amend the law. Keep doing what you do! ❤

Thank you very much for this very informative documentary. I was blown away. My people can be very resilient. I am very proud to hear the words "our culture, legacy" uttered. I salute the staff who made this documentary possible. Please keep this up. Again, maraming salamat po. Renee

I remember the time when DOH really promoted the use of iodized salt. There was actually a famous jingle they used in a commercial "Iodized salt, Iodized salt, mag iodize salt tayo"... And you know why they did that, because goiter was very prevalent in the Philippines back then. So hopefully the goiter cases don't spike up again in the country.

That iodized salt law paved the way for villages in Cavite replacing traditional salt fields. We’ve always brought our sacks of sea/rock salt from Pangasinan, and still the best for me.

Amazing! Thank you for bringing this to light!

Thank you and Congrats!

I am so happy to hear about this law! I've been trying to get some or even at least one kind for so long. Asin Tibuok or the Ted-ted is quite hard to find. I hope with this new development it will be easier to find these artisan salts.

i support filipino made anlaki ng competition among.other country ang mga ibang mayayaman sinusupport nila yung himalayan salt

I love this episode so much.

Nakalimutan na ng mga Pilipino, na bago pa man tayo masakop ng mga dayuhan ang asin ay napaka halaga sa pamumuhay ng mga sina unang Pilipino, kasing halaga nito ang ginto noon dahil ito ang ginagamit nila para sa pag proseso para tumagal ang kanilang mga pagkain kagaya ng karne at isda.

Husay mo! How did you know this place and culture about old traditional salt making? Madami ako gusto kwento at sabihin but to make it short, it was the year 1995 under of Fidel V. Ramos a former President of the Philippines. Sya ang dahilan kung bakit napatupad ang pagbabawal ng Organic Salt at kailangan lahat ay IODIZED. Natural or Organic i sbetter than IODIZED! Dahil and organic has pure of natural minerals including the iodine. I am from Cavite and laki ako sa Tanza cavite near in Kawit cavite.

I believe FEATR has been one of the instruments to the ammendment of the salt law. Mabuhay

may the younger generations keep there tradition of making salt alive

*Others worry about the "microplastics" in our salt. Like bro, it's pretty everywhere we eat nowadays. If their not gonna get it from salt, I'm sure they'll get it from fish or fruits anyway lol*

Tnk u!!! Will do buy!!

Thank you for featuring about salt Erwin, it’s about time every Filipino should appreciate ❤

Thank you, thank you for showing this video. Amazing people from the Philippines show a nature. The good people of Philippines are so humble. I just wish I could live there like that. I'm here United States in Florida and I'm watching this video. Thank you so much for showing this. Because we don't have real salt anymore. I'm gonna see if I can order. Online song salt from Brazil. I mean from. Philippine. Philippine, because I don't get eye. A dime for my body needs iodine, and we don't have it here. Then you were saying thank you and God bless the people Philippines. The good people of Philippines are so humble and good people. I wish I could live there like that simple.No iPhone, no TV.Just nate god bless everyone philippines.

Masarap po yang doldol kahit walang ulam yan yong ulam namin Sana pag uwi ko makabili ako nyan.pero saan kaya ako makakabili nyan.doldol tawag saamin nyan❤

Again a good documentary from mr Erwann!! This is so good super galing at saka To its finest... galing wla akong masabe lht tlga is very well said sa video na ito. Very intelectual ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you Erwan and team for doing this documentary and great news to salt farmers/miners (?)

I’m so impressed with the precious way of doing this. It must be preserved 😮👆🙏👏👍🤝

Well done for another great documentary, Featr! I hope the asinderos/ asinderas get the support they need to relive the salt making industry!

Excellent and well made video! Keep it up!

This is great news ❤ wonder if you will have an episode using these salts for your recipes. 😊

maraming salamat po

The government should support these families who are keepers of our cultural identity

Thank you for this feature Erwan !..

We need more of these types of videos. Thanks for putting this out.

It's interesting that there's so many ways to collect salt, and none of them harvest the fresh water that comes out of the process. The ones that use fire could easily be turned into a desalinator that condenses the water vapor into fresh drinking water. Then they would have 2 products to sell.

Thank you for sharing this! I found it really interesting and informative. Keep up the great work! 😊 #PositiveVibes

Traditional salt amazing. Support locals.

Thanks!

Thank you Erwin and FEATR team for promoting local salt!

Very nice 💯

WOW!!!HOW THEY MADE SALT,GOD BLESS YOU WHO MADE THESE SALTS

I didn’t know we have artisanal salt in the Philippines until today. My MIL brag about the himalayan salt she bought from the US when she came home to visit us. Now I’m going to share this video to her for awareness that we too Filipinos have artisanal salt and brag it too😊🇵🇭

Thanks I saw it,I remember when I was 7 years old we picth sea water we Put. in a large carajay then put a fire. Until they became salt...thankssss memories is there...

That is the traditional way making of non-iodized salt.The granulated and the hardened drips of the granules locally kmown in Pasuquin, Ilocos Norte as TEDTED (saltwater drops)

Great documentary! Very informative and the selected topic is much needed to be known by the present generation.
