00:00They are free fishermen for the livelihood of their families.
00:07That is what the fishermen from Aborlan, Palawan are asking for.
00:12Due to lack of income, they were hired by the GMA Capuso Foundation
00:16to provide their children with complete school supplies.
00:25Due to tensions in the West Philippine Sea,
00:29the fishermen from Aborlan, Palawan,
00:34are not allowed to go to Kalayaan Island Group.
00:40They are worried about their safety.
00:44They used to earn Php 6,000 a day.
00:50Now, they are lucky to earn Php 1,000 a day.
00:55Now, we only catch cheap fish.
01:01We only earn a little.
01:03This is also what Jimenez wanted.
01:06He doesn't have any other desire but to complete his son's education.
01:11Those who are poor like us, we are just working.
01:17Our family will live. Our son will be able to study.
01:21As part of the GMA Capuso Foundation's next project,
01:27the Philippine Navy and the Philippine Marines
01:32went to Palawan to provide the 2,400 students
01:37who are the children of fishermen and fishermen.
01:45We also reached Sitio Daan,
01:48one of the farthest places in Aborlan.
01:51Here, it's hard to find school supplies.
01:54If there are school supplies here,
01:56like pencils, the most important thing is ball pens.
01:59It's a bit expensive.
02:00I am very thankful to you, ma'am,
02:03that the Capuso Foundation came here
02:06because many of our mothers have problems
02:10using their children and you helped them.
02:13I hope that these tools will help and serve as an inspiration
02:18for the youth in their first steps towards their dreams.
