03:31 Only three of the daughters of Mary Anne, including Junior, are studying.
03:36 The other daughters do not have a birth certificate.
03:39 We are here at Baseco Compound to visit Mary Anne.
03:46 Mary Anne is just 44 years old, but she already has 15 children.

04:25 I am not a virgin. I am only 16 years old. I will be a virgin in one year.
04:31 Even though they used the same way, you still remember their names?
04:35 Yes. I do not give birth to them. I took care of them until they grew up.
04:41 Why did they not have their birth certificates?
04:43 It is because of the birth certificate. They do not have birth certificates. All of my children have only one.
04:49 Why would you not have birth certificates?
04:51 My children do not have birth certificates.
05:01 Because of the education, Mary Ann gave birth to her three children.
05:06 However, they were not placed in the right place due to the lack of requirements.
05:11 The 8-year-old junior, instead of being in grade 3, is only in Kinder.
05:16 Her classmate, Mary Jane, is 12 years old and should be in grade 7.
05:23 And 11-year-old Ella should be in grade 6.
05:28 My teacher said that we should have gone to grade 6.
05:35 Because they are small and I am big.
05:40 Sometimes, I am afraid of my friends.
05:45 Some of my friends are in grade 6 and they do not know how to swim.
05:51 Despite her young age, Ella understands the situation of her family.
05:58 Sometimes, we do not have rice. It is hard for us.
06:02 We do not have work. We do not have work.
06:07 Because of the size of their family, they also experience poverty.
06:13 I am poor but I have a lot of friends.
06:17 I am being judged. Why are you giving birth to so many children?
06:20 You cannot even feed them. Many people say that.
06:22 It hurts me because they are rich.
06:25 I can carry the garbage but I cannot carry my bag.
06:29 Where should we buy water?
06:31 We can buy it from the sea.
06:33 But because Mary Ann does not have money to buy water, she just brought salt water from the sea.
06:42 She noticed the dirt and the trash in the sea.
06:47 If you do not have money to pay for water, you cannot swim.
06:56 You really have to pay for water.
07:07 As time goes by, Mary Ann's basic needs are slowly running out.
07:14 How many times a day do you eat?
07:31 Sometimes, just twice.
07:33 Twice? What can you eat for those two meals?
07:38 We do not have rice, soy sauce, and we do not have food.
07:44 Do you know that the children cannot eat properly?
07:49 Even the parents are worried.
07:52 Sometimes, I cry at night because they cannot eat.
07:57 I cannot do anything.
07:59 I cannot do anything.
08:01 Every day, Mary Ann receives P250 from her 17-year-old daughter who works in the division as a vendor.
08:12 She uses it for other family expenses.
08:16 The first thing she needs to buy is water for bathing and washing the dishes.
08:23 I have four of these. I will buy three.
08:29 Four.
08:30 Four?
08:31 Yes, one.
08:45 The remaining P200 is used for other needs like a kilo of rice, two sachets of coffee, one milk, and two diapers.
08:57 Mary Ann also bought water for the whole family.
09:05 They will be sharing these with her 12 children in the next two days.
09:15 She also bought biscuits and snacks for her children.
09:19 The day is not yet over, but Mary Ann's remaining P1,000 is just P1,000.
09:33 I cried when you interviewed me.
09:38 I should have died. I should have paid for the water.
09:40 This is all I have.
09:42 I am not sure if I can afford to buy more.
09:45 Her husband, Edito, is working as a mechanic and construction worker.
09:53 He is not sure if he can earn enough to pay for his daily expenses.
09:58 It is hard to take care of my children.
10:03 I am sick. I cannot take care of my children.
10:05 It is just a sickness.
10:07 Yes.
10:08 How do you manage?
10:09 I am just doing my best.
10:12 Do you have a chance to take care of your children?
10:14 No, I am not allowed to.
10:16 Is it common?
10:18 Yes, it is common.
10:20 If I don't take care of my children, I cannot take care of my husband.
10:25 My children are hungry.
10:27 In the coming days, Mary Ann's pocket is a bit empty.
10:34 Because her husband, Edito, went home last night.
10:38 [Music]
10:42 [Children playing]
10:49 He immediately gave Mary Ann P500,
10:53 which is his income from fixing the truck for the whole day.
10:57 This is tiring.
10:58 If we don't help, we won't have money.
11:01 We need to find a way to earn money to buy food.
11:08 But they need to save Edito's income
11:11 because there is no guarantee that he will be able to get extra money for his work.
