00:00 In San Roque, Navotas, the story of a farmer who ran through the barangay elections is very interesting.
00:08 Although there is no fund or machinery, Alex was able to impress the voters in their area
00:15 because of his hardworking daily work.
00:20 Alex is one of those who ran through the elections who has a very interesting story.
00:27 [rooster crowing]
00:29 [music]
00:31 Who wouldn't wake up if you hear this?
00:35 Garbage net!
00:37 Garbage!
00:39 Hey, there's garbage!
00:41 Garbage! Garbage!
00:43 At the voice of Kuya Alex, you'll really see garbage.
00:49 [music]
00:51 But you should distinguish Kuya Alex because he didn't just carry garbage.
00:55 [music]
01:00 He's also a sweet winner.
01:03 [music]
01:10 Good morning, Kabrigada. We're here in San Roque.
01:15 It's still early in the morning.
01:18 The people here are carrying garbage and their leader is Kuya Alex.
01:25 He's the garbage man here.
01:28 We're going to get a lot of garbage.
01:33 Where's Kuya Alex?
01:35 There he is!
01:36 Kuya Alex!
01:37 How are you?
01:38 Good morning, ma'am.
01:39 How are you?
01:40 Are we going to carry this?
01:41 Yes, all of that.
01:42 That's a lot.
01:43 That's a lot.
01:44 That's a little more.
01:46 That's a little more.
01:47 That's a lot.
01:49 Every morning, if you have a problem with garbage,
01:53 Kuya Alex will help you.
01:55 Just come here to the office.
01:56 Let's go!
01:57 [music]
01:59 Kuya Alex starts his work at 4 am.
02:03 This is what he does every day.
02:05 He's carrying a pile of garbage that's scattered on the road.
02:10 [music]
02:15 You're just throwing it away?
02:16 You're not going to segregate it anymore?
02:18 No.
02:19 [music]
02:22 We're going to get a lot of garbage.
02:26 [music]
02:31 It's full here.
02:33 It's hard to get it there.
02:35 [music]
02:40 Oh, there's more.
02:41 [music]
02:43 We were a little bit caught off guard by this scene
02:46 because the garbage was left in a corner on the sidewalk.
02:50 [music]
02:52 Why did they throw the garbage in the trash can?
02:56 The people who walk here are collecting the garbage.
03:01 Oh, I see.
03:03 You might be wondering why the garbage is scattered here.
03:08 The truth is, the residents here put their garbage in the trash cans.
03:13 The problem is, the people who walk around with garbage,
03:18 they just threw it in the trash can and threw it away.
03:21 They didn't throw it away.
03:23 No, they didn't.
03:25 [music]
03:26 But no matter how dirty and how much garbage,
03:29 Kuya Alex is very careful not to complain.
03:33 Oh my God!
03:35 [laughs]
03:38 Do you do this every day?
03:40 Until Sunday.
03:41 Until Sunday?
03:42 We don't have a break.
03:43 [music]
03:53 Oh my God!
03:54 You saw the hard work of the garbage collectors.
03:59 [music]
04:08 The next time you throw garbage,
04:11 remember the hard work of the garbage collectors.
04:15 If possible, put it in the right place so that they won't have a hard time.
04:20 Kuya Alex has been helping to maintain cleanliness in their barangay for three years.
04:26 To be honest, he really has a four-man position in San Roque Barangay.
04:30 But because of his hard work, he himself is working hard no matter how dirty it is.
04:36 Your job in the barangay is four-man, right?
04:40 It means that when you are four-man, you are the only one in charge.
04:44 You are in charge, like a broom.
04:46 Yes.
04:47 Like the broom of all the garbage collectors.
04:50 Why do you collect garbage yourself? You are a broom.
04:55 No, because I need to clean the garbage.
04:58 Because your colleagues are working hard.
05:00 How can I help them?
05:02 [music]
05:17 Aside from throwing garbage in their place,
05:20 Sir, let's go there.
05:22 Kuya Alex is also involved in other jobs,
05:25 such as cleaning the canal.
05:28 That's why we are cleaning it now.
05:30 Because when the water rises, the water can't escape because it's barred.
05:34 It's sinking here.
05:36 That's why the people here, when the water level is low,
05:41 we have to dig it so that it won't leak.
05:45 Sometimes, the garbage is floating there.
05:49 He also assists in getting clearance in the barangay.
05:53 The people who are going to get clearance are from the media agencies,
05:59 medical medical, barangay ID.
06:02 I am the one who is in charge of that.
06:04 We just let our secretary do it.
06:07 Before he joined the barangay,
06:11 he worked in a fish market for almost 20 years.
06:15 We were selling sick domes for almost five years.
06:18 When the pandemic happened, I went to the barangay.
06:21 I have two trucks.
06:30 One is in San Jose, in San Roque.
06:33 The other is in Banco, in Bacug.
06:37 And here.
06:39 I have to run to get there.
06:42 After that, I will transfer here to Kapalaran.
06:45 But we only transfer it to Lyonson in the morning.
06:49 We start at 5 am when we transfer to Lyonson.
06:52 Because of his hard work and dedication to his work,
06:58 Kuya Alex was encouraged by his fellow barangay members
07:01 to run as a worker in their barangay.
07:04 He is a very hardworking person.
07:06 He helps us very well.
07:09 He is the one who takes care of the garbage.
07:17 But his wife is different.
07:20 Despite this, Kuya Alex is very determined to run.
07:24 We are also told to run.
07:26 The people who are telling me to run,
07:29 I am also very determined to run.
07:31 The people in Lyonson,
07:33 the ones we were taking care of earlier,
07:35 the elders are telling them that I should run.
07:39 They will help me.
07:40 I am very happy to run.
07:42 But I don't have any expenses.
07:44 I just donated almost everything.
07:47 I have only 5.
07:50 I have spent P310.
07:52 I just bought the flyer.
07:55 With the help of his fellow barangay members,
08:01 he has expanded the campaign of "No Expenses".
08:04 And after the election last October,
08:08 Kuya Alex won as a worker in their barangay.
08:12 I won as a worker because of the garbage.
08:16 I can't use it, but I work in the garbage.
08:19 That's the most I can do.
08:22 Because of this great success of Kuya Alex,
08:27 his wife's promise is supported.
08:30 Of course, I am proud because he is running the garbage.
08:33 He is a worker now.
08:35 Next week,
08:39 Kuya Alex will officially become a worker
08:42 in the barangay of San Roque.
08:44 But he said that nothing will change in his work.
08:49 How will that happen?
08:51 You are now a worker, right?
08:54 How will that happen?
08:56 I will continue the work I started.
08:59 You will still be doing garbage?
09:01 Yes, I will continue.
09:03 I need to work.
09:05 Why? Why are you still doing garbage?
09:08 I like it.
09:10 I am happy with my job.
09:12 When I see them, I am happy.
09:14 Alex's wife said that
09:16 the salary and title are not the measure of service.
09:20 If you want to be a true leader,
09:23 you should be the first one to work.
09:27 I am not ashamed.
09:29 I am not ashamed of my work.
09:31 I will continue my work.
09:33 I will continue where I started.
09:35 Correct.
09:36 You started and people are happy because of your service.
09:39 Yes.
09:40 When you are in a position,
09:42 you should not forget that.
09:43 Yes.
09:44 That's what I need.
09:45 And because of that,
09:46 we put you in my position.
09:49 He needs to dream.
09:58 I told him that I already achieved my dream.
10:01 My dream is to become a real officer.
10:03 They say that there is money in the trash.
10:07 But this is not what Alex's duty is,
10:10 but the trust and love of his employer.
10:14 The hard work and care he gave to his colleagues,
10:18 are things that can never be paid off.
10:25 I am Cara David, with I isang Brigada.
10:29 I am Cara David, with I isang Brigada.
