00:00Two months have passed since we first met the child of El James of Negros Occidental here in KMJS.
00:13Before he could enter the school, he had to cross a zip line.
00:19According to his story, how is he and his family?
00:25Do they still continue to cross the zip line?
00:39El James is now in his 6th grade.
00:41He is now 11 years old.
00:44But his father, Ricky, still supports him.
00:48Ricky wants to make sure that his son will be safe to go to school.
00:58Because the way to school is very steep and rocky.
01:06To cross the mountain, they still have to ride on an old and busy zip line.
01:19The zip line is very steep and rocky.
01:30It's very scary and I'm afraid of falling.
01:35Even though it's difficult, we are doing our best to cross it every day.
01:44We are doing our best to not fall.
01:46We are doing our best to not fall.
01:48It's very steep and rocky.
01:53What if the zip line is too steep for him to fall?
01:59He will have to ride for 100 meters.
02:04I'm nervous, sir.
02:07I will do my best to cross it.
02:10This is the story of a student's determination to achieve his dream.
02:23The father lives in a remote community in the mountains of Murcia in Negros Occidental.
02:33It's only 4 in the morning.
02:37El James is already getting ready to go to school.
02:41Ricky is already preparing the harnesses that the father will use to cross the zip line.
02:49If you walk slowly, it will take more than an hour.
02:53But if you ride on a zip line, it will take 5 minutes to reach the top.
03:02The father's zip line is 300 meters long.
03:08The top of the zip line is also shaking.
03:12But the father has already calculated their weight.
03:18Ricky admits that he is still nervous.
03:22We might cut our car.
03:24We don't know because it's very old.
03:27We just cut the rope.
03:29It's like cutting.
03:31It's very old, sir.
03:32And it's already torn.
03:44Ricky is the first one to cross.
03:46If he has a hard time, I can help him.
03:56The father's zip line is 300 meters long.
04:14It took only 2 minutes for Ricky to reach the other end of the zip line.
04:19Did you have a hard time?
04:20No, sir.
04:21While El James is already wearing the harness.
04:24How do you feel?
04:26I'm not scared anymore.
04:27I can reach the subjects.
04:29The teachers are very kind.
04:31I don't know how to walk on the zip line.
04:34I was nervous at first.
04:36Because it's very high.
04:54Ricky is the second one to cross.
04:56He is very nervous.
04:58But he has already calculated their weight.
05:00We might cut our car.
05:02We don't know because it's very old.
05:04We just cut the rope.
05:06It's very old.
05:08We don't know how to walk on the zip line.
05:10We don't know how to walk on the zip line.
05:12We don't know how to walk on the zip line.
05:14We don't know how to walk on the zip line.
05:16We don't know how to walk on the zip line.
05:18We don't know how to walk on the zip line.
05:20We don't know how to walk on the zip line.
05:22But El James didn't arrive at the other end.
05:32Suddenly, he stopped.
05:52It's scary because you don't know if the cable is still okay, you don't know if it will suddenly cut.
06:22It's scary because you don't know if the cable is still okay, you don't know if it will suddenly cut.
06:52It's scary because you don't know if the cable is still okay, you don't know if it will suddenly cut.
06:55How is it? Is it dirty?
06:57Yes.
07:00You didn't get stuck?
07:02No.
07:08The father rides his motorcycle to school.
07:12T.L. James is a happy child. He is helpful especially to his classmates. He is really hardworking.
07:35The one who is usually left at home is Rose.
07:42That day, he had to bring his 4-year-old daughter, Mary Rose, to the daycare center which is located on the other side of the mountain.
07:55Are you nervous?
07:56Yes, because my daughter is with me.
07:58Let's go.
08:06I was praying that the two of us could reach the other side.
08:13Before they could reach the other side,
08:19Rose stopped.
08:43The mother and daughter were able to reach the other side safely.
09:04The mother and daughter were able to reach the other side safely.
09:13Meanwhile, before going home, T.L. James finished his assignment at the school.
09:19I finish it here because it's hard for me to go up there.
09:26If it's not hot, it's not good.
09:28I should have turned on the light if it's hot.
09:33After that, his father, Ricky, accompanied him to go home by zipline.
09:41Where are you going to go now?
09:43To my family, sir.
09:47In Ginoo, sir.
09:48There are a lot of people who are following us.
09:51They can see our situation.
09:53Until I can do it, until my father can do it,
09:56I will be able to endure it.
09:58I just want to see my children finish their studies.
10:01That's what I ask of them, that they finish their studies.
10:24They are really looking for a place to live here in the mountains.
10:28This is also the reason why they chose to live here from the village.
10:33I come here every day.
10:35Then, in the afternoon, I go back there again because it's hard.
10:41We just want to live near the school if there is a place to live.
10:46Because of this, Ezra, their 8-year-old son,
10:49chose to live with Ricky's brother in the village.
10:52I want to have a school so I can take care of my family.
10:56I want to earn money so I won't have to go to the zipline.
11:03Two months after Jessica Soho was found here,
11:08the situation of the community of El James,
11:12helped her.
11:15The local government of Murcia helped her financially.
11:22Some viewers also donated.
11:25Thank you very much for helping us.
11:28While the village of Kabatangan in Talisay City is being led,
11:33where the other end of the zipline is located,
11:37which is passed by the parents,
11:39a vacant house was allocated.
11:42They are poor, especially when it rains.
11:44Their income is far, sir.
11:46It's hard for them, so I let them stay at home.
11:48There is no payment.
11:49So that we can also help our family, sir.
11:52We live here in this house.
11:55Kagawa Diniz let us live here.
11:58We just live here temporarily.
12:02And my son doesn't use the zipline anymore
12:04so he won't have to go to school.
12:06In the past, El James had to use the zipline
12:10just to go to school.
12:15Now, his entrance is safer.
12:20Because their new house is only a few minutes away from his school.
12:26Masaya kami para sa kanya
12:28at naging kampante rin
12:30kasi alam namin na
12:31mayroon natin na
12:46We are happy for him and we became companions because we know that he is now safe to go here and return to his home.
13:01And if before, L. James hurried home after class because it was dangerous for him to reach the zip line at night,
13:11now he has time to play with his friends.
13:16I remember back then, it was sad and difficult for my children to walk on the road.
13:23Now, I see my children are happy and they are safe.
13:29We are no longer crossing the zip line and our house is almost finished and we are now together with my children.
13:36Thank you so much for helping us.
13:39Right now, I am the only one crossing to the other side.
13:43This is where I grow my vegetables and our land.
13:48We have a lot of food.
13:50Now, it is easy for me to go to school.
14:08Before, I used to ride the zip line.
14:11Thank you for helping us.
14:21We are happy because we can play.
14:24Before, I used to miss my brother.
14:26Now, it is no longer a problem for me to be with him.
14:32Education in the country is a big problem.
14:35Many students are unable to finish their studies because of lack of money,
14:43schools, and even the roads that lead to them.
14:49No matter how strong their attachment to their dreams is,
14:55it is still the foundation that will give them the proper support and projects.
15:09Thank you for watching, Kapuso!
