Peel 6 pieces of quite raw saging saba bananas and set them aside on a plate.
Watch out

Hot oil can splatter when placing ingredients; gently slide bananas into the pan.
In a pan, pour enough cooking oil for frying. Heat the oil and add the 6 pieces of saging saba bananas.

Add bananas to moderately hot oil, otherwise high heat will burn the outside before the inside cooks.
Fry the bananas in medium-low heat, turning them occasionally with a spatula until the bananas turn light yellow.

Turn the bananas regularly so they color evenly on all sides.
Add 3-4 tbsp of light brown sugar over the frying bananas. Maintain the heat and wait for the sugar to caramelize and start to thicken.

Continuously flip and swirl the bananas, otherwise the melting sugar will burn at the bottom of the pan.
Hot sugar syrup causes severe burns; use tongs to handle bananas safely while skewering in the pan.
Lower the heat and immediately insert 6 pieces of bamboo skewers into each banana while still in the pan to avoid them from sticking together.
