00:00On the top, it's small, and on the bottom, again, it's small.
00:10Here.
00:12Just make it bigger.
00:18The younger ones are still struggling because they have no one to rely on.
00:30If true, they understand each other here in Sitio Pinag-Anakan.
00:37But the young ones have their own reasons as to why they are trying to learn how to read and write.
00:46Even if it's just a small dot, don't make it bigger.
00:51Because writing is more important now than making it bigger.
00:57It's more important now than making it bigger.
01:03That's why we need to be able to sign our names.
01:11The adults, like Tata Rudy, Roberto, and Armando,
01:16are already fed up with the foolishness they experience every time they go out to the mountains.
01:21I also have a son who is a bit illiterate.
01:26If he faces the Tagalog people,
01:29the Tagalog people will treat him differently because they know that he won't be fooled easily.
01:36But if it's just the two of us, they are happy.
01:38They don't want us to be illiterate.
01:40They are happy.
01:41Okay, let's go. Let's sit down.
01:45In Tata Rudy's case, every time he sells his last fish,
01:49they are always in a dilemma when it comes to payment.
01:53Sometimes we are still in a dilemma when it comes to paying our bills.
01:58What's happening?
02:02We think that the price of a kilo is too high.
02:07We can already tell by the look of the fish.
02:12Sometimes we can tell that the price of a kilo is too high.
02:17But if it's just five kilos, they will say that it's just two kilos.
02:23You won't get angry. You won't get angry.
02:26You won't fool us.
02:28They won't give us rice.
02:30They won't give us rice.
02:31They won't give us rice.
02:32They won't give us rice.
02:33They won't give us rice.
02:36The situation is getting worse every time the election comes.
02:41When we vote,
02:43we will be assisted by someone who knows how to vote.
02:46I will tell them who I want to vote.
02:49I am not sure if the election will be written today
02:52because I don't know how to write and read.
02:55We don't know if we want to vote.
03:00We don't know if we want to vote.
03:04And our children who know how to vote,
03:08they won't be able to assist us if we don't allow them.
03:14They won't be able to vote because of the precinct.
03:17Yes, because of the precinct.
03:18According to Father Armando's experience,
03:21when it's time to vote,
03:23their right to vote is lost
03:26because they are not sure if they are marking the ballot correctly.
03:33Do you know what you are writing?
03:35I don't know.
03:37So, some of you are just saying,
03:39this is it.
03:40Yes.
03:41This is it.
03:42We don't know.
03:44When there is a population,
03:47there are people who will vote.
03:49They will ask us,
03:51what will you vote for?
03:53They won't be able to assist us.
03:55When they say the name,
03:58that's the only thing they will remember.
04:00But when they give us papers
04:02that say who will vote,
04:04I don't know who will vote.
04:06I can't read.
04:15This is the challenge for Ma'am Melona.
04:18But because she is alone,
04:20it's hard for Ma'am Melona to teach all of her students.
04:29They have been studying for two hours.
04:33The movement is limited because of one antipara.
