00:00Wait a minute, it's slippery here.
00:08Am I going to drown?
00:11Is there really no one with me here?
00:17The call for the boat I'm going to use started.
00:20Styrofoam was attached to the boat.
00:25The materials were also caught in the sea.
00:31Because there are still some garbage in the sea lock of their homes,
00:38the road there is a bit narrow.
00:41You need a boat that is more narrow.
00:44So they made a makeshift kayak or boat out of Styrofoam garbage.
00:51And this is what I'm riding now.
00:53It's a bit of a challenge because you can drown because it has no anchor.
01:00Then you really need to put your feet down in the water.
01:04So this is what will serve as a balancer.
01:27There, it's okay, it's wide enough.
01:30So because there is garbage under the sea lock,
01:35the big boat won't fit.
01:37We need this kind of sticky Styrofoam that we will use.
01:44What we are looking for is the type of garbage that they call Sibak.
01:48Sibak is a plastic that is a bit harder than the usual plastic like this.
01:57Like this.
02:02I'm just not thinking about the garbage here.
02:10Sibak! Sibak!
02:14So what they get here is the plastic that they call Sibak.
02:19That is the plastic that is a bit harder than this type of plastic.
02:24They don't use this type of plastic.
02:27They need this type of plastic.
02:30What they told me is that 1 kilo of this type of plastic costs 8 pesos per kilo.
02:39And because this is a bit light, sometimes they need to get a whole bag of this type
02:46just to earn 8 pesos.
02:54Robert made a boat that came from an old refrigerator.
