Speaker 1:

Hey, welcome to everyone.

Speaker 2:

And here today with a special guest of this podcast, anvalanit.

Speaker 1:

We're going to be here tonight. We're here recording for Melbourne Australia, and today I got a special guest. He's originally from the Philippines. Well, he's with the guitar as well. Guys, I just invite you to enjoy this episode, because we're going to have a lot of nice conversation tonight, and I'm just going to introduce Cecil Coralacito. Hey, cecil, hi Jorge, wow, I keep you very good.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, this is something like for the first time I've done this kind of thing.

Speaker 1:

You like it.

Speaker 3:

I'm not so sure, but let's try talking about whatever topic under the sun.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, look, you're the let's say like the four guests that have in the program, but I never had a person from the Philippines, which is I'm really glad that I can manage to have you here in my podcast.

Speaker 3:

Well, I'm from the Philippines. As you know, we were. The Philippines was under Spain for more than 300 years, so most of our local dialects are Spanish and you speak Spanish, so we can understand each other well in some of the aspects, like counting ono de stress, cuato cico sae shi te otsu noe be je. That's Spanish, but that's our local dialect as well in the Philippines.

Speaker 1:

All right. So for my Spanish audience, and when I arrived to Australia I didn't know all this information that in. So it's the Philippines in Asia. Yeah, oh, what is it?

Speaker 3:

The Philippines is part of Southeast Asia.

Speaker 1:

Southeast yeah.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, Southeast Asia, that's the only. That was the country discovered by Spain, but the discoverer was Ferdinand Magellan. Ferdinand Magellan was a Portuguese.

Speaker 1:

Oh so Von Gia, von Gia.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, a Portuguese man. A Portuguese who came to his king in Portugal and said I want to travel east and at the time he think that the world was not round. He thought that the world was flat. So are you crazy? You will fill down there if you go there. He went to Spain, magellan went to Spain and the racist history Spain allowed him to travel east and he discovered the Philippines. Unfortunately, he died in the Philippines because the local chieftain, the Lapulapo, named Lapulapo, killed him. But that was the history of the Philippines being discovered by Spain. That's why the Philippines is named after King Philip of Spain.

Speaker 1:

But who paid this petition?

Speaker 3:

So it was Spain. Right yeah, spain it was.

Speaker 1:

Portuguese. All right, so was someone from Portugal, so there was a kind of a pirate, or yeah, like a pirate Like someone no just during the sailor.

Speaker 3:

During these days, spain, those European countries, they are called Spanish conquistadores, or they are called sometimes as the right boats, big boats. What's it called in Spain, those big boats? Barcos. No, barcos it's Galeon ships Galeon. Yeah, galeon, ships, big ships. So these are the things that they explore. That's why they are called explorers.

Speaker 1:

But I don't know. But the history always have these people as conquerors, but I think they were more like explorers, Like explorers, correct.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, they explored the world. They unexplored then the Prudina and Magellan, but do you think there were pirates? No, no, they were not pirates.

Speaker 1:

What's the difference between an explorer and a pirate?

Speaker 3:

No. An explorer is the one who explore pirates, the one who get you know there are bad people who massively get rid of you know. You know they are like thieves. Pirates are thieves.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but let's say well, for instance, in Colombia we have what was the name of the guy? Cristófalo Columbus, because the guy was Italian and the people believe that there was the guy from Spain and the name. So if you get, if you see the books in Colombia, they, they, we've been told that the name of the guy was Cristófal Colón, which was the. But in reality the guy was from Italy and I knew that when I come here to Melbourne because I met an Italian and the guy told me no, is Cristófal Columbus, he, the guy, was Italian.

Speaker 3:

You mean Cristófal Columbus was Italian. Yes, he was the one who discovered.

Speaker 1:

America. Yes, yeah, yeah. But we, we in the story, like the one that was teach in the school. They told us the guy's was from Spain.

Speaker 3:

Spain.

Speaker 1:

And then he came with the. The name of the chips was La Pinta, la Niña and La Santa Maria was the name of the three, like the three, the first vessels who arrived to Colombia. But they took all the gold. So the Spanish conquerors, or splotters, they start taking all the gold and taking to Spain. So that's they is, do you think, still being splotters, or because no, they cannot.

Speaker 3:

I don't think they can be called a pirate, because a pirate is just. A pirate to me is like you are.

Speaker 3:

You are bandaged, you know you you ride in small boats and you are going to rub, you know you just be galleon ships of gold, that's. Those are pirates. But a country like, like Spain and exploring, explorer country, who goes to a certain country like the Philippines and and and get rid of those gold, I don't think that's called pirates. They, they could be called explorers, but they are making the place you know their own, the annex to these places. The best example, that is UK, united Kingdom. They went to India and get rid of all of those very expensive materials in India and brought to UK. And that's what they're saying.

Speaker 3:

And I'm not sure that it's called pirate.

Speaker 1:

For me they're kind of a pirate for me. For instance, the last ship they found in Colombia, in the Bay of Cartagena. There was a ship. They found it in the ocean, in the deep, the wreckage Correct and the Spanish government, they were asking for the gold. They said no, we need the gold because the gold, the coins still having the branded with the Spanish emblem and stuff.

Speaker 3:

You know what I mean.

Speaker 1:

So they said we need that gold because it's our gold. Yes, so, but this is a nice conversation.

Speaker 3:

We're talking about discovery of countries Like the natives in the Philippines. They were originally practicing different religions, but when Spain discovered, or Magellan discovered, the Philippines, then the country was converted into Christianity or Roman Catholicism. They brought Catholicism in the country and the Philippines is the only South Asian country that's Christian. The rest are Muslims.

Speaker 1:

Oh interesting fact. Look, I thought I thought like Spanish is the same, Like when they came to Colombia, the first thing they do I mean you told me if that's the same in the Philippines, so they built, the first thing they did is they built the church.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, they built churches because they want to propagate the Roman Catholicism, and that's both good and bad situation in the Philippines Because, you know, when they brought Christianity in the Philippines, then they run by priests, but the priests committed some acts of you know. You know, like raping women and fathering people, and there is a history there about that and in fact, it has written by our own national hero in the Philippines, which is Dr Jose Rizal. Dr Jose Rizal is a national hero of the Philippines who wrote about everything the Spanish, you know, colonialism did to the country. For example, they brought the priests there. The priests were creating a lot of you know troubles, aside from propagating God or spreading good news about Jesus. They were also committing, like so many acts that are terrible, like you know, impregnating women and so on, and they become like powerful. In fact, until now, the Philippines has very powerful universities run by religious people.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, they're so powerful, so that's true.

Speaker 3:

That's true, and are they really creating, you know, good education? Or they just into power? Because most of these countries or most of these universities, became like demolded the educated people and the people become leaders of the country.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, well, in your opinion, should we leave the communities? Do you think the? They said the European intervention in the Philippines was good or bad, but what's your opinion about it? It was good or bad?

Speaker 3:

I cannot comment about the history, but because you cannot undo the history, it could be good, because me myself, my name is Cesar Corloncito, maybe my surname Corloncito was, you know, coming from Spain or the Hispanic countries. Now, if they were not conquering or they did not discover the Philippines, maybe all my descendants will not. I would not be, I would not be in existence. So I would say you cannot undo what has been done unless there was crime committed. And even there's nothing wrong with what our history is. The only thing is that we might be improving our lives in the future because what we have seen in the past, so that's.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you're right. That's how we should leave the past in the past. That's what you, that's what you think the past is there for lessons learned to improve the future. Yeah, so now, now you talk about your name. You got your name in your in your arm.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, yeah, no, this is my name, this is my, this is my signature.

Speaker 1:

I just know your name.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, my name is Cesar Corloncito and I made it into my signature. I tattooed it in my left arm.

Speaker 1:

It looks like Coca-Cola. It looks like Coca-Cola.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, to make sure that when I sign something, then I have to make sure that I have evidence that this is my signature.

Speaker 1:

So is that your signature? So? If you if you, if you told you, if I told you to write a check, so is that your signature.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, this is my signature.

Speaker 1:

Wow, yeah, it looks like Coca-Cola. Are you a fan of Coca-Cola?

Speaker 3:

No, not really Not really. I'm a fan of.

Speaker 1:

Coca-Cola Also. Who made also? You did it before Coca-Cola, or what was the story about?

Speaker 3:

Oh, coca-cola has been there before I was born. They were. They were discovered in Atlanta. You know the, the, until now, the the how to make Coca-Cola. That's, that's a terrible secret of the cola wars. You know the cola wars with against Pepsi Cola and Coca-Cola.

Speaker 1:

Too much caffeine. The formulation of Coca-Cola, nobody knows what is? Is there caffeine in there? Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 3:

They're just like. I'm sure there is carbon, carbon dioxide there.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I'm pretty sure as well. I'm pretty sure. So how many? So how do you? How's Philippines so is? Can you tell me? It's an island, is, is, is in inland.

Speaker 3:

What's the geography? The Philippines is an archipelago, archipelago.

Speaker 1:

What do you mean by archipelago?

Speaker 3:

It's a country with so many islands. That's why it's called archipelago. It is facing, on the east side, the Atlantic, the Pacific Ocean, and on the west side is the China Sea. Yeah, so the Philippines is, uh, is historically was broken or created because of tectonic activity. So with this tectonic activity, like they were under water before, so when this tectonic activity came into being, they become islands. So I will notice that in one of the islands, like my own home province, in the island of Bohol Bohol, the name of the islands where I was born I could imagine that in the mountains where I'm going there are lots of shells. So it means it was under water before. Because why there's a lot of shells in the mountains? So there are no shells in the mountains. So it means that it used to be under water from way back, maybe millennium or so many years back, or millions or light years back, I'm not sure.

Speaker 1:

But so you don't know about these data Like it should be more than one million years ago.

Speaker 3:

There could be them data, but I believe personally that they were under water before and I can also sense that because the land in itself are made of limestone, so those corals underneath the sea usually are limestones. So when it goes up then become limestone and become a good construction material.

Speaker 1:

Wow, Wow, Wow interesting. So what's the weather? What's the weather in the Philippines?

Speaker 3:

Like humid tropical. Only two kinds of weather six months of wet weather and six months of dry weather. That's the only weather in the Philippines. It's a temperate zone so it's so humid. When you play sports or basketball or tennis, you easily sweat, unlike Australia. When you play and run so much you cannot really you cannot have so much sweat.

Speaker 1:

But in Victoria, yeah, yeah, in.

Speaker 3:

Victoria, if you play a game of tennis, you hardly sweat. But in the Philippines, even if you are playing and you are not moving, you sweat If you're playing chess?

Speaker 1:

do you sweat when you play chess?

Speaker 3:

Yeah, if you are not doing anything in the Philippines, you just stay because of so much humidity. You still have this so much sweat. It's so, so hot. Yeah, yeah, but you got. So how are you guys?

Speaker 1:

dealing with this weather. So you guys drink beers, or what do you do normally when it's that highest temperatures? What's the plan in the Philippines?

Speaker 3:

The temperature is not that high compared to Saudi Arabia, but temperature is quite high in terms of every day. You have 30 degrees integrate Every day.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but did you guys what's?

Speaker 3:

our favorite past time we go to. The most people these days goes to the mall, because the mall has centralized air conditioning and they just go window shopping.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's what we're going to say, because these days that there's been, it's been hot here in because we are in summer. So in these days I just heard someone. I was at work and they heard someone. I just going to stay in my car and put the air conditioning and just close the windows and stay in my car with the air conditioning. So I just wonder if you guys do the same.

Speaker 3:

Not so much because it's so expensive to do that because of the high price of petrol. So, as I mentioned, people go to the mall or go to the beach to swim because of you know it's nice to go swimming.

Speaker 1:

Is the ocean warm or is it cold? It's warm. It's warm Unlike.

Speaker 3:

Victoria, it's so cold. Yeah, it's warm. You like when you dip yourself in the beach, you don't feel cold.

Speaker 1:

That's good, like in Colombia, colombia's, the temperature is around 26 degrees on the ocean, so that's good. What about fishing? Do you like fishing?

Speaker 3:

When I was young I was like, even before I go to elementary school, because we are in the islands, we are used to be exposed to the sea. So when I was, I think, five years old, I started going to the sea, wanted to do you know, you know line and hook thing, but I don't have anything, I don't have money to buy. So I use, you know, my mom's you know, sewing, sewing gadget, like the thread and what you call this one, the clip, or to be my line and hook. I go fishing, I want to find you know those hermit crab and as bait then cut some fish. That's my life up to now. I'm already 60 years old and I still go fishing here in Victoria.

Speaker 1:

I've been doing a lot of fishing. Yeah, I know that's what I asked you about fishing, look. So how do you learn how to fish? Who taught you that? Oh, it's just like your dad or his or your financial?

Speaker 3:

No, it's just like probably it's in the vines. You know vines because I have a friend way back home, a small, you know, a friend. We go to the sea and go fishing and and that is where I learned that fishing in itself is exciting. The fishing in itself is exciting, meaning when you plan to go fishing, there's already excitement because of the thrill that you can catch the fish. Just imagine you don't know exactly if there's fish and suddenly you catch fish. So that's the thrill of it. So going fishing is thrilling already. It's exciting already Catching fish is a bonus. So rule number one if you go fishing and you don't catch anything, then that's that's rule number one is fishing is exciting, that's rule number one. Rule number two is if you go fishing and you don't catch anything, you go to rule number one.

Speaker 1:

Fishing is exciting.

Speaker 3:

Now rule number three. Let me finish. If you go to fishing, fishing is exciting and you catch fish, that's a bonus. So you are excited and you catch the fish, then that's a bonus.

Speaker 1:

So well, talking about fishing, we have to go fishing right.

Speaker 3:

I will go fishing tomorrow, tomorrow. You want to go tomorrow?

Speaker 1:

You want to stay in the night fishing in the pier. Maybe yeah.

Speaker 3:

We have a look.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, because tomorrow, yeah, well, yeah, probably.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, we can go fishing tomorrow.

Speaker 1:

How frequent you go fishing when I?

Speaker 3:

was not so busy. I was busy during the past few weeks because we have a lot of activity, but normally, under normal circumstances, I go fishing every week.

Speaker 1:

Every week, yeah, so what's the best? Also, what's the best fish you ever catched? Like, what's like a shark or what was the thing like you get most excited Like, oh, I catch this fish.

Speaker 3:

No, the best fish that I have caught is the Spanish mackerel Big, but not here.

Speaker 1:

That's what I say when.

Speaker 3:

I catch that in Saudi Arabia. When I was in Saudi Arabia so my house in Saudi Arabia was like 10 minutes away I can go fishing in the pier. I catch a lot of Spanish mackerel. We call it Tangigui. It's big, huge, 15 kilos Spanish mackerel. You bite them using the angling or the hook and line with the rod big rod and I catch them in the morning. I catch them in the afternoon. I go to work. I put that in the freezer when I go back to work. Then I go cooking in the evening, share it with my friend who plays tennis. So it's just exciting to do this.

Speaker 1:

So when you catch a fish, you cut it into pieces and then put it in the fridge, and then you save it for another day.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, that's usually normal people would do, but myself is. I want to share it to my friends because I want to tell them that there's bounty, and that's not only for me, that's all for us.

Speaker 1:

So you share with the guys. So if you're fishing with, let's say, three or four people and they didn't catch anything, so you just cut it and say there you go, you can have this fish. No, that's not how it works when you go fishing.

Speaker 3:

If someone doesn't catch, maybe you can share them. But normally, especially in Australia, you have a license to fish. You cannot just give fish to another person because the other person might be violating the rule of fishing here. So it's not that you give it, but you can give fish to your friend if you go fishing.

Speaker 1:

So you cannot give no.

Speaker 3:

But normally it's an individual thing, because one person should catch as many as that bug Like for example someone you need to catch only 20 and at the size of 23 cm. For big snappers you cannot catch more than three big snappers. You can catch small snappers at maybe 20 cm, but big snappers you can catch only maximum three. That's the rule.

Speaker 1:

So let's say I was fishing with you and then I didn't catch anything. Are you able to share a little bit with me now? What's that Like if I'm fishing with you both?

Speaker 3:

Come to my house and let's cook together and eat them together, and if there's extra fish then I'll send it to you and share it to you. I don't want to let the fish stay in my freezer because the taste of fish later on when you put it in the freezer will not be good so. I always eat the fish fresh and I eat fish raw. I eat them raw, oh, raw yeah. Yeah yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

So you don't cook it sometimes, sometimes so.

Speaker 3:

I cook some, I eat some raw yeah.

Speaker 1:

I grill them. What's the best recipe for this? It?

Speaker 3:

depends on the variety of fish.

Speaker 1:

Do you want to do it in the grill sometimes? Yeah, I always do Put on the barbecue or whatever.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I sometimes fry all kinds of cooking, including eating it raw.

Speaker 1:

Okay, so have you ever fished? So what's the best practice? To fish from the pier, or have you ever fished on a vessel, in a boat?

Speaker 3:

It depends, because I don't have a boat, so I always go to the pier, so it's also difficult to maintain a boat because you need to have a parking for that boat, so you need to tow that boat. Then you have to go too far. My wife doesn't want me to take a boat because she's afraid that the boat will just drown or there will be a storm and that's too dangerous for her to have a boat.

Speaker 1:

So I have a boat. You need to have company, like you need to have company.

Speaker 3:

Normally I don't like to go fishing. I don't care. It's not that I don't like. I like fishing with friends, but normally I don't see that as a problem if I'm going fishing alone. One of the reasons for that is that when I go fishing alone, I feel tranquility, peace. When I can see nature and if I don't catch anything, I can even look at my mobile and I can even do TikTok while fishing and there's nothing. Or if there's something, there are birds, the seagulls around. It's so tranquilizing, meaning it's so peaceful. When you go fishing and you watch the ocean, you watch the sky, there's no limit. So you can imagine you're just a small piece of person in this world and the whole universe is big. Your problem is just as small as you are because the whole universe is so big, so I would say endless.

Speaker 1:

That's a good thinking. So what about patience? I heard that when you're fishing, you need to have a lot of patience. Did you have a lot of patience? I?

Speaker 3:

think that's the normal, usual way to have patience, but that's not true. Oh really, it's untrue. If you know fishing, then patience is not something like you have to deal with. The best way to do fishing is to understand the situation. First, is that the season for that kind of fish. Second, is that the breeding time or eating time of the fish, because fish eat, I think, breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Speaker 3:

So if you go out of the times, you cannot catch fish because even if they are there, they are not hungry. So that's one way to look at it. So when are they going to eat? During breakfast, of course, early in the morning. So you go early in the morning and feed them and put hook and then you can catch.

Speaker 3:

If you go fishing in between, the fish maybe was hungry, was not eating her lunch or his lunch, or the fish did not eat breakfast. Maybe you will be lucky, but most of the fish are hungry during breakfast, during their time of eating, they have lunch, dinner and breakfast. The problem about this is that that's one factor. The second factor is maybe they are also there and they eat a lot of breakfast, but there are small fish, there are small fish around that they can eat. So they did not eat your bait, so you have to observe those. So if you know this time that they are eating, then you don't need patience anymore. You just know that when they are going to be hungry then you go there. No need for patience. Patience is just. You wait from breakfast to lunch to dinner.

Speaker 1:

So you mean, so you know, so you know the feeding time.

Speaker 3:

No, the feeding time when they are hungry and want to eat. Know that and that's the time that you go fishing. Then other times you sleep because the fish is not eating, so they sleep.

Speaker 1:

They're going to sleep.

Speaker 3:

But sometimes the fish could not find breakfast, could not find lunch and they were so hungry looking. So when you go fishing and you're lucky, there's no end. So they are so hungry and there's so plenty. You catch them every time Because the previous day they were not able to find food. Now they are so hungry, now there are so many. Then you were fishing in that area. That's the time you're lucky. The patience is not there in fishing If you know how to do the situation.

Speaker 1:

So in Victoria, let's say in Victoria I don't want to say in Australia, but probably you have been in Australia for quite a long time but let's say in Victoria, which are the best places? If I'm asking you, I want to go fishing. Can you tell me which one would be the best place to go on fish?

Speaker 3:

Or would you like to go fishing outside of the Port Billy Bay? Because I can observe that inside the Port Billy Bay that's a bay and there's a lot of people living around the bay and there's a lot of waste in this area. So it goes to the bay, so the fish eats your waste. So the fish there is not so fresh. So I would like to go to Bas straight or the southern ocean, which is an open sea. The fish is so clean, so nice to eat.

Speaker 1:

So you go by Polo? That's clever. What about river have you been fishing?

Speaker 3:

I've been catching fish for many years, maybe 10 years, in Barwoon River. Barwoon River is the source of water in Barwoon water in that area, in Jilong, so there is a long Barwoon River so it ends up at Barwoon Heads. The Barwoon Heads there's the ocean. When it goes high tide, the water goes in. I was fishing there for more than 10 years I think. And what was exciting in that area is the I catch a lot of not a lot, but a big trivali in a river. You cannot imagine that even in the Philippines you cannot catch trivali in a river, but there at Barwoon River you catch trivali, because trivali are ocean fish.

Speaker 3:

So they go to the river to the entrance and if you're lucky enough, then you're hungry. Oh, it's really nice to catch trivali so many years. You're a rod. You know you're a rod. It becomes a little sea Because your rod is like straight when there's a big fish, it becomes a little sea. So strong.

Speaker 1:

Wow. So is there any difference between, I mean, the taste of the meat? If you got fishes from the river and from the ocean, there's a big difference.

Speaker 3:

Yeah for example, I used to catch fish inside the Port Pilibey a lot of pinkies or snappers. The taste there's some smell of the snapper inside the Port Pilibey but when I fish at Lorne, which is facing the ocean, the snapper is so fresh and there's no smell.

Speaker 1:

Oh so there's a big difference.

Speaker 3:

What about?

Speaker 1:

the river ones.

Speaker 3:

The river is not bad in the entrance, but when you go upstream there could be some pollution. And there could be some issues. But some fish also are not marine fish, but they're freshwater fish like the prim. So you cut upstream in the river to cut the brim. And that's nice to eat as well.

Speaker 1:

All right. So tell me, have you ever been to a different place? Also when you came here to Australia? So did you stay here in Victoria or have you moved?

Speaker 3:

No, we just migrated here in 2007,. Just like how many years, almost 17 years ago. In 2007, we migrated in Victoria and we stayed in Victoria.

Speaker 3:

It's a place to be right, we think this is a place to be, or just in the plate number. So it's a place to be and it's Victoria. It's a place like in Melbourne four seasons in one day, so you cannot just be confident about. Oh, it's so dry and hot today so I have to wear sleeveless. Later in the afternoon it could be like from 30 degrees in the great it can become cold, change like 15 degrees Approx.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's what. I didn't tell you to record this episode outside, because you got a nice back jar over there. It was really nice, but I think now it's very chill, like should be cold outside, you think? Yeah.

Speaker 3:

So we've been talking for the last 35 minutes. Can we have some break?

Speaker 1:

Yes.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

All right. So, Cecil, I got you today as a rock star.

Speaker 3:

No, I'm not a rock star, you are. Everyone is a rock star.

Speaker 1:

You're a rock star, so which song are you going to play here for my audience?

Speaker 3:

You want me to sing?
