00:00 [Sounds of a tractor]
00:03 The time in Mauban, Quezon is short.
00:06 When we started our journey,
00:11 we went to Sitio Boton in Barangay Cagci-ay 3.
00:19 An isolated community in the middle of the sea and the hills of Sierra Madre.
00:30 [Sounds of a boat]
00:36 I want to know how the youth there study.
00:40 The boat ride takes more than 2 hours.
00:46 But during the rainy season,
00:51 there is no assurance of sailing in the ocean-filled Lamon Bay.
00:57 [Sounds of a boat]
01:07 We only have half an hour to sail when the wind is getting stronger
01:12 and the waves are getting stronger.
01:19 Oh my God!
01:24 What is happening?
01:26 It's crazy!
01:28 At the worst time, we can't see anything around us.
01:39 We are being hit by a very strong rain here in the bay.
01:48 This is the best time to sail.
01:51 Just wait and see.
01:54 [Sounds of a boat]
02:00 We are going to the other side, Jared.
02:01 We are going to the other side.
02:02 Let's go.
02:03 Let's go back.
02:04 We are going to the other side.
02:05 We need to go back.
02:06 Let's go.
02:07 In this rainy season,
02:13 there are not many boats that can sail.
02:18 The waves are strong.
02:20 Yes, if it is necessary.
02:22 Yes.
02:23 So what did you think of our trip?
02:28 It was very relaxing.
02:30 [Laughs]
02:32 To not get too nervous,
02:35 the group just went through the fun of our experience.
02:40 But the situation is serious.
02:49 [Sounds of a boat]
02:55 For our safety,
02:59 we decided not to continue our journey.
03:03 The weather is getting better,
03:07 but it's still not that good.
03:09 We decided to go back to the shore
03:14 because it's too dangerous.
03:17 We will try to travel the other side.
03:19 It's a big challenge for those living in remote areas
03:27 to have adequate education.
03:30 We are not doing it.
03:32 But what if the enemy is not just poor,
03:36 but also the destruction of nature?
03:45 [Music]
03:48 We still feel dizzy and dizzy on the second day of our journey.
04:03 But it's good.
04:08 The sun is shining.
04:12 [Music]
04:15 After two hours,
04:20 we arrived.
04:24 So we made it.
04:37 Our captain was great.
04:39 Even though the sea was so rough, we made it here safely.
04:43 But if you notice,
04:45 the place is very isolated.
04:48 [Music]
04:52 Hello! Good day!
05:08 Good day!
05:09 Hello, Tai!
05:10 Finally,
05:13 I met my companion here,
05:16 Hi!
05:18 12-year-old Jaydeline.
05:21 Nice to meet you!
05:22 Jaydeline is just an ordinary kid.
05:32 But she has a big role
05:35 in their community.
05:37 I told them to put the "T"
05:39 If there is no class,
05:41 she is the tutor for the kids in the area.
05:45 There is a place for the "Tangkay"
05:47 [Music]
05:49 [Music]
05:51 Hello!
05:52 How was your lesson?
05:54 And their small house is their school.
06:00 Why are you putting the number?
06:03 They don't know.
06:06 It's done.
06:07 Jaydeline's lesson is spelling in Filipino.
06:12 For survival.
06:14 For survival, number two.
06:16 I can do it too.
06:18 Can they copy that?
06:21 Is it okay?
06:24 Other kids don't know how to do it.
06:28 Why did you decide to teach them?
06:35 I want to teach them.
06:37 Did they request you or you told them that you will teach them?
06:42 I told them that I will teach them more in the future.
06:49 Yes, I will do it.
06:52 It's done.
06:54 It's done.
06:55 I will do it.
06:57 No, not there.
06:58 Your students are naughty.
07:01 Yes.
07:04 Who is the most naughty student?
07:07 Who?
07:09 These four.
07:10 Who are these four?
07:12 Yes.
07:14 Who is the kindest?
07:16 These two.
07:18 Ah, the two at the end.
