00:00They are very grateful that Mirayan Elementary School decided to build an extension school in the city of Banluan in 2019.
00:16Instead of students going to school,
00:19teachers are now going to the mountains.
00:24And because of the sacrifices of the great teachers,
00:28the dreams of the students are slowly coming true.
00:33How are the children here?
00:36There are no problems with the children.
00:37When it comes to their studies, their behavior, there are none.
00:41As in, zero.
00:43We have never seen anyone fighting or fighting here.
00:46There are none.
00:46There are none.
00:48We are truly blessed here.
00:51If I were to say, if this school, this station is down here,
00:54I wouldn't want to move here.
00:55I might want to become a principal here.
00:57Because the children are the number one thing that inspires us.
01:01If the children are like that, why would I want to move here?
01:05But aside from teaching,
01:07there is another job for the teachers of the city of Banluan.
01:13At 11 o'clock in the morning,
01:16How many students can you feed?
01:1962.
01:1962.
01:20How many bags of rice is that?
01:2225 bags of rice.
01:2325 bags of rice.
01:26And what are their foods?
01:28Right now, it's mung bean and string beans.
01:30Mung bean and string beans.
01:35Hunger is one of the biggest problems of the children of Mangyan
01:40in the city of Banluan.
01:42They are hungry when they can't go to school.
01:44That's why the children are hardworking when they come here.
01:48Aside from the fact that they want to go to school,
01:50there is nothing else they can do.
01:51So they have a brain and a heart.
01:53Yes, they have a brain and a heart.
01:57The feeding session is held twice a week.
02:01With the help of several NGOs and sponsors,
02:04they are able to save 10,000 pesos a month
02:08to buy rice and vegetables.
02:11What if they don't donate anymore?
02:13Then there is no feeding.
02:15Nothing. What will happen is that the children will starve.
02:34They say that there is no way to know if the rice is growing.
02:42This is the reason why the teachers are so eager
02:46to have feeding sessions.
02:52Since they started the feeding session in the school,
02:57the enrollment in Banluan has increased.
03:02We were invited by two teachers.
03:04And of course, the education of the children is also increasing.
03:10So I am very thankful to the teachers
03:13who are eager to have feeding sessions here.
