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.
