FunTranscript
00:00Teacher Michael was a former private school teacher.
00:06He changed the name of Ginhawa ng Kapatagan to teach in a public school.
00:12He didn't expect that he would be assigned by the DepEd in a mountainous area.
00:17I was assigned to Mirayan Elementary School, Banluan Extension.
00:23I didn't notice the Banluan Extension.
00:25I thought that I could just go home and ride a motorcycle.
00:32We just looked at the river and how high it was.
00:37That's when I realized that this is the situation.
00:44Did you cry when you first went to the community?
00:47Yes, because we didn't know how far we could go.
00:52Ah, you didn't know.
00:54I didn't know this.
00:57You were fooled.
01:04At first, it was easy to cross the river.
01:07The water was shallow and calm.
01:14But as time went by, the current became stronger.
01:18It's easy to be fooled if you don't have a strong will.
01:23It's a small river, but the current is strong.
01:27So, be careful.
01:29This is Teacher Alvin's first assignment as a teacher.
01:53He spent years preparing for the opportunity to teach.
01:57But he was still surprised when he saw the road leading to Banluan.
02:04It's hard to refuse a job.
02:06If you're looking for a job, you'll be given a job.
02:09The only problem is how we climbed and descended.
02:13There were tragedies that we didn't expect.
02:20We slipped and fell into the river.
02:23We didn't think about it.
02:25It was really hard for the kids.
02:33After almost two hours, we finally reached the 25th cross-river.
02:42This is the last cross-river.
02:45After this, we'll go to Ahon.
02:48If you see that step, that's the start of Ahon.
02:55The joy of the journey was quickly replaced by anxiety when the good road came to us.
03:19Can we just go to the river again?
03:22I was praying that the river would end today.
03:25I hope it's just a river. It's easier than going to Putek.
03:32I'm still trying to run.
03:38This is what Teacher Michael and Teacher Alvin do every Sunday.
03:43It's hard and it takes a long time to teach.
03:48Are you regretting it?
03:50No, not really.
03:52At first, during the hiring, I was looking for a job.
03:59But when I saw the challenges here, I didn't give up.
04:04I was more challenged.
04:06It's really hard for the kids to teach.
04:15There are Puteks that are up to 20 years old.
04:22There are Puteks that are very soft.
04:30And there are Puteks that are very slippery.
04:33And there are Puteks that are very slippery.
04:43You just have to be patient.
04:59I can't do it anymore.
05:04Despite the sweat and the Putek, we continue our journey.
05:20The problem is, after an hour of walking in the Putekang,
05:26Suddenly, a heavy rain falls.
05:50I'm tired.
05:55I can't do it.
06:05I'm tired.
06:09It's only been an hour.
06:13Let's go.
06:17There are times when I want to give up.
06:20But the teachers say,
06:22There is no good or bad thing about people who are careless.
06:29Sometimes, when I go to school, it's wet.
06:32But our laptops and laptops are covered in plastic.
06:38And sometimes, when we go up, it's wet.
06:41So, we think about the kids.
06:45Because what will happen to the kids if we don't go up?
06:49They will be pitiful.
06:53After a few minutes,
07:05It's already four in the afternoon when we reach the end of our journey.
07:10The site of the people of Mangyar.
07:17Thank you, Lord.
