01:46 From young to old, they have an idea on how to earn.

01:51 For me, it helped a lot because when we first started,

01:55 we were able to fish and if we didn't catch any fish, we would borrow money from the finance.

02:01 Like that, some percentages.

02:04 Now, we are very relaxed.

02:06 The people who used to be at home, now they are able to see that

02:11 they have a lot of things that they need like,

02:16 they are assisting when there are tourists or sometimes they are preparing food for the visitors.

03:03 I will buy their needs, like clothes, food, and we can save money.

03:14 I tried to ride a jet ski, which is one of the best water activities here.

03:19 When I tried using it, it was exciting.

03:22 I was all smiles while I was swimming in the sea.
