00:00Who would have thought that in the middle of Manila, there's a ferry in the city.
00:06This is the Pasig River Ferry.
00:08No foreigner has entered the country yet.
00:11The Pasig River is being used as a transportation to deliver goods.
00:16It's easy to go to Pasig in Manila, the center of Calacalan.
00:21And now, it's not just ordinary boats that cross the Pasig River.
00:27In 2007, the operation of the ferry in the Pasig River began.
00:31There were only 5 boats or ferries back then.
00:34But now, there are 7 more.
00:36Some are big and some are small.
00:4050 passengers can fit in a big ferry.
00:43While the small ones can fit 30 people.
00:46Back then, the cars were still air-conditioned.
00:49But the new boats that are added now,
00:52it's not just for those who enjoy riding and sightseeing.
00:58It's also comfortable for the passengers to sit inside.
01:08Aside from the new ferry, they also added stations.
01:13You can travel from Pinagbuhatan, Pasig,
01:15through Guadalupe, Makati, Mandaluyong,
01:18to Escolta, Manila.
01:22All in all, the Pasig River is within an hour and a half.
01:28And now, this is our adventure.
01:31Wait a minute, where's M-Poy?
01:35Dear Mommy Sue, this pancit is for you.
01:39Love, love, love, M-Poy.
01:47Yes, Mommy Sue, I have something for you.
01:49I have a pancit that I left.
01:51I hope you like it because it's so delicious.
01:56The ferry schedule is from 7 in the morning to 4 in the afternoon.
02:01It also crosses 12 stations.
02:04Even though other stations have changed and more ferries have been added,
02:07it doesn't change that it's still a free ride for passengers.
02:13The departure time is 1.30.
02:15I feel like we're in another country.
02:18We're going to Santa Ana Station. Let's go!
02:26There's an aircon.
02:28There are 15 passengers in the ferry that we're riding to Santa Ana.
02:38On the trip, I met the passengers Joy and Ina.
02:43Ina has been riding the ferry for two years.
02:45Why do you ride the ferry every day?
02:48Aside from being free, it's very comfortable because when I go out,
02:52when I get off the ferry, I go straight.
02:57Joy also rides the ferry when she goes to church.
03:00Do you always ride the ferry?
03:01Every Friday, I go to Campo.
03:05What about now? Tuesday?
03:07Tuesday, because I have a destination.
03:09Why do you ride the ferry every day?
03:11Because it's free.
03:12I can save 45 minutes.
03:16Really?
03:17Because I'm just here in Makati.
03:21Father Christopher is also a fan of the history of Pasig Ferry.
03:25He has been working at the ferry station for 11 years.
03:28In the past, there were not many houses around.
03:33The MMDA is in charge of Pasig River Ferry.
03:36Because of his work at the ferry,
03:38Father Christopher was able to protect the education of his children.
03:42I was able to help my family because I have five children.
03:46I was able to graduate.
03:48I also achieved good things here at Pasig River Ferry.
03:51I was able to say goodbye to my schooling.
03:55I was able to graduate with a B.S. in Criminology in the past month.
04:04Susan! Susan!
04:09Before we change the topic,
04:11we will have our Wanderers do a challenge.
04:14One minute, one question.
04:16Alright.
04:18This is it.
04:20Let's see how we will answer our challenges.
04:22Mommy Sue, you still have a challenge.
04:25What are your questions?
04:27I will answer them here.
04:29Can I call a friend?
04:30It's like there's a mangaluyong.
04:32There's a map that my brother is teaching me.
04:35Where can you find Binondo and Chinatown?
04:39Where can you find them?
04:41Escolta.
04:43Am I right, Mama Sue?
04:45The first station of Pasig Ferry is in Laguna de Bay.
04:50Wait, let's ask the staff at the back.
04:55Pasig Ferry, Laguna Bay, where is it?
04:58Pinagbuhatan.
05:00Pinagbuhatan ang kamay.
05:02Sorry, no.
05:04Aba Empoy, it's like they're the ones answering for you.
05:07Did you notice, Mommy Sue?
05:09Mommy Sue, it's not allowed. I'm the only one like this.
05:13You need to do it too.
05:15Aba Empoy, you even challenged me.
05:17We got caught there.
05:19I asked for help, I was even more criticized.
05:21At the station where passengers get off,
05:25they go to Jonesbridge and Binondo.
05:28Escolta.
05:30This station is named after a famous university in the Philippines.
05:36P.O.P.
05:38What station is considered the center of the Pasig River Ferry?
05:45Guadalupe.
05:47This is the first station in Pasig and near Laguna de Bay.
05:52Pinagbuhatan.
