"Pulot-Pukyutan": An 'I-Witness' documentary by Kara David
“PULOT-PUKYUTAN”
Dokumentaryo ni Kara David
Airing date: April 5, 2014
Mahalaga ang ginampanang papel ng pulot-pukyutan o honey noong mga unang sibilisasyon. Hindi lamang ito ginamit para sa asukal nito, ito rin ay gamot at pera ng mga sinaunang tao.
Sa malayong barangay ng Salapadan, Abra, ang pagkuha ng pulot ay matagal nang gawain. Ang pulot ay pinagkakitaan ng kanilang mga ninuno; at ilang dekada na ang lumipas, ito’y produkto pa rin ng mga katutubo ng Abra.
Dito sa komunidad na ito, hinihintay ng magkapatid na si Charlie Boy at Edrian Bangngayen ang pagdating ng tag-init. Panahon na ng kanilang pagtatapos sa paaralan. At panahon na rin ng pagkuha ng pulot. Dala ang kanyang sulo, dahan-dahang lumapit si Charlie Boy sa pukyutan--- walang maskara o kahit ano’ng proteksyon laban sa libo-libong bubuyog. Usok mula sa sulo ang kanyang tanging pananggalang sa kagat ng bubuyog. Para saan ang paghihirap na ito?
Mapapanood ang “Pulot-Pukyutan”, isang dokumentaryo ni Kara David, sa I-Witness (GMA7), ngayong Sabado (April 5), pagkatapos ng Celebrity Bluff. Para sa mga komento, i-tweet si Kara David (@karadavid) at ang I-Witness (@IWitnessGMA), at gamitin ang hashtag #IWitnessSaturdays.
English version
Honey played an important role in early human civilizations. Not only was it a source of sugar, it was also used as medicine and a medium of exchange in the olden times.
The people in the far barangay of Salapadan, Abra has long practiced harvesting honey from the bounty of their forests. Here, their ancestors have depended on earnings from the sweet golden liquid. And many decades later, honey is still a product that they can depend on.
In this community, brothers Charlie Boy and Edrian Bangngayen have much to look forward to this summer. It marks their graduation from elementary and high school. It also ushers in the honey season. With determination, Charlie Boy lights up his torch and approaches a hive covered with thousands of bees. Without any mask or protective clothing between him and this swarm of bees, the 17-year-old only has the torch’s smoke to defend him from bee stings. But what is all this hard work for?
I-Witness host Kara David follows the Bangngayen brothers who can truly attest to the saying, “no pain, no gain”. Watch “Pulot-Pukyutan” this Saturday (April 5), on GMA7, after Celebrity Bluff.
