00:00In the middle of Manila Bay,
00:07the 10-year-old June Ray is slowly laying her eggs.
00:16In each hatch of the boat,
00:18the child is hoping to catch a few pieces of fish.
00:27Why are you doing this?
00:29So I can teach my parents.
00:31They don't have money to buy food.
00:34They don't have money to buy vegetables.
00:36They're just cooking.
00:37Aren't you tired?
00:39No.
00:40How do you feel when you're done laying your eggs
00:43and you have money?
00:45I'm happy.
00:46I have something to give.
00:49So I can help.
00:51The other kids are playing.
00:54When I have money, I'll give it to my mom.
00:57I'll give it to my siblings if they want money.
01:06But as she lays her eggs,
01:11she faces a challenge.
01:28June Ray's challenge
01:37has a deeper reason.
01:45I'm a swimmer.
01:48If I can save money, I'll help my brother
01:51so he can walk and be healthy.
01:57How far can she swim
02:00to find out what's in store for her?
02:03June Ray Ronquillo's morning routine
02:22When the sun rises,
02:24June Ray Ronquillo has milk and bread for breakfast.
02:29June Ray Ronquillo's morning routine
02:32He's waiting for his neighbor, Bibert,
02:35to fix the machine for his boat.
02:39I'll fix this.
02:42It's broken.
02:44It's leaking.
02:46It'll be fixed soon.
02:51Let's carry this.
02:53It was leaking last night.
02:55We'll carry this.
02:58Since they haven't been able to fish for three days,
03:01they need to go out to earn money.
03:04Let's carry this.
03:06I'll carry this.
03:09Let's carry this.
03:11This is what we use for our boat.
03:14This is also our fishing net.
03:18This is where we fish.
03:20At the back.
03:25This is where I sit.
03:27When the tide is high, this is where I sit.
03:42I want to help other kids.
03:44Other kids play when I give them money.
03:48They want to give me money so they can play.
03:52When I have money, I'll give it to my mom.
03:55I'll give it to my siblings if they want money.
04:01He's been with Bibert's neighbor for almost a year now.
04:08He's very hardworking.
04:10He's very good at fishing.
04:12I'm proud of him.
04:14He takes care of his parents and siblings.
04:17When we're not fishing, he gives us money.
04:20He comes to us when we're not fishing.
04:23He really wants to earn money.
04:29Most of the time, kids are hungry.
04:31That's why they want to fish.
04:36When it comes to a part of Manila Bay,
04:39Jun Rey has already started fishing.
04:54He's been fishing for a while now.
05:05After a few minutes,
05:07Jun Rey's small hands and arms are already pulling hard.
05:13He's hoping to catch different kinds of fish.
05:19But after a few seconds,
05:23You can throw this to him.
05:25So he'll catch it?
05:27Yes, he'll catch it.
05:29So if he catches it, what will happen?
05:31I'll let him throw it to Bisaya.
05:34Jun Rey?
05:35Yes, Jun Rey.
05:39Jun Rey just jumped into the water
05:46and tried to catch a fish.
05:53But he couldn't catch it.
06:16When Jun Rey was able to catch the big fish,
06:23he carefully set it up.
06:36When you catch a fish, you get hurt.
06:39And then you get hurt again.
06:41And then you get hurt again.
06:43And then you get hurt again.
06:53Later on, Jun Rey caught some of the fish that entered the net.
07:24After a few minutes,
07:26Jun Rey finally caught a fish.
07:36What did you catch?
07:38I caught a Spanish mackerel.
07:42Are you happy?
07:43Yes, we caught a fish.
07:48Jun Rey knows that life in the sea is dangerous.
07:53But he's not afraid of the sea.
07:58He swims in 15 feet of water
08:01with no safety gear.
08:06But this is the only way
08:08for him to go home for their wedding.
08:23Wow, we have food now.
08:25When they returned to Dalampasigan,
08:27Jun Rey and Bibet were unable to catch more than half of the fish.
08:35So they decided to split the fish they caught.
08:39What are you going to do with that?
08:41I'll give it to my parents.
08:44What are you going to do with that?
08:46I'll give it to my parents.
08:49What are you going to do with that?
08:52I'll give it to my parents.
08:54I'll split it.
08:56I'll split it.
08:58We have food at home.
09:00We caught some earlier.
09:02Can't you sell it?
09:04No, it's already split.
09:06I'll give it to my parents.
09:21I'll give it to my parents.
09:26Jun Rey immediately chose the fish he caught
09:29to clean up.
09:35I'm taking a rest
09:38so that I won't get tired
09:42when I swim.
09:46My hands hurt.
09:48My back hurts.
09:50My arms hurt.
09:58He also has wounds from the fishing net
10:01under the sea.
10:10Before going home to their parents,
10:13Bibet gave the child 50 pesos.
10:181, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15.
