00:00I joined Roldan and Judy in their journey.
00:07They say this is connected to the top and it comes from the mountains.
00:10So, it's a long way.
00:11There are places where people swim.
00:14Maybe that's where it comes from.
00:17Maybe there are things that are removed while swimming.
00:19Yes, it's connected.
00:23Where will you start today?
00:25Here.
00:26Let's go here first.
00:27Okay, I'll go with you.
00:29I hope we can see something.
00:33Even if the water is shallow, it's still dangerous.
00:36That's why Roldan asked me to wear boots and gloves.
00:44My brother told me that it's dangerous if I just hold it.
00:47Because there are bones underneath.
00:50It's dangerous.
00:57Yes, that's right.
00:59Brother, your feet!
01:06They're not used to using protective equipment
01:09because it's easier to dig the ground with bare hands.
01:13How do you see that, brother?
01:16I'm just digging.
01:20He's digging.
01:25Because the water here is deeper and it's harder to reach,
01:30Roldan thinks that no one has ever dug here before.
01:35It's a bit strong.
01:36That's why the rocks underneath are slippery.
01:45But after a few minutes of searching,
01:48we found a broken bottle.
01:53They found a lot of bones underneath.
01:57This one is even bigger.
02:01It's also dangerous because I'm wearing boots and they're wearing flip-flops.
02:07Later, the two of us decided to go to a safer part of the river.
02:13There are a lot of houses around here.
02:17And there are pipes connected to the river.
02:24I don't know where the water that flows from here comes from.
02:31Whether it's from the kitchen, the bathroom, or the bathroom.
02:37And earlier, the river was full of garbage.
02:41And earlier, the river was full of garbage.
02:48Now, there are even dirty and used diapers.
02:52Aside from the bones, they can't see what they're picking up.
02:58Because it's full of garbage, the river is not happy.
03:03I think they're just used to it.
03:06But it's not a coincidence that Roldan and Sude...
03:11Brother, where does this water come from?
03:14Because there are houses around here.
03:16So, there are also...
03:19Wastewater.
03:21Did it come from the bathroom here?
03:23No, it's from the kitchen.
03:26It's from the bathroom.
03:29It's from the bathroom!
03:31It's from the bathroom!
03:35It's like we're in a giant immortal, but it's open.
03:42That's right.
03:43Brother, aren't you afraid?
03:45Because first, there are a lot of bones.
03:47Second, this water looks like leptospirosis.
03:52Yes, ma'am.
03:54Life is hard, ma'am.
03:56I'm afraid, ma'am, that I won't be able to feed my family.
04:01For me, it's up to God.
04:05Yes, ma'am.
04:07We know that this river is really bad.
04:10It's all mixed up.
04:12It comes from the canal, there's dog poop, there's garbage.
04:17I didn't notice it, ma'am. It's up to God.
04:20Yes, ma'am.
04:21Since then, it's been a few years, I haven't been sick.
04:27But Roldan says, there's someone who's been here before us.
04:31Brother, you said there's someone who's been here before us?
04:34Yes, ma'am.
04:35Because there are a lot of bones.
04:38That means there's someone who's been here before us.
04:41Ah, okay.
04:42That's why we're here.
04:44That means you've been here before a lot of people?
04:47Yes, ma'am, a lot of people.
04:48In other groups, there are a lot of people.
04:51That's why we're here.
04:53They're like treasure hunters here.
05:00I feel like what we're doing, it's like we're in the middle of nowhere.
05:03You know, it's already been chosen.
05:07It's not a new box anymore.
05:09So, you're just lucky if you can still get alahas or bakal or anything valuable here.
05:17But, of course, it's much better if you're not being hunted by others.
05:25No matter how lucky you are to be able to get alahas here,
05:30it's also a chance that a different grace is leading you.
05:36What happened, ma'am?
05:38It's falling from there.
05:40Oh, no, it's not.
05:42I thought it was a bone.
05:47After almost an hour…
05:54I think it was a catfish, it was blushing.
05:57…Roldan was caught.
05:59Roldan was caught.
06:03It looked like a pair of gulls.
06:07It was really blushing,
06:09but it was just a fancy jewellery.
06:12It's just a fancy jewelry.
06:14Let's put it aside for now.
06:18There's a pendant.
06:22Here's another one.
06:24This one has a scarf.
06:27There.
06:28Kuya got a pendant, a scarf.
06:34We also got a lot of coins.
06:36Kuya got a lot of coins.
06:38What is this?
06:41Some of them came from other countries.
06:50They also store coins, screws, and other metals that can be sold in a junk shop.
06:57Look at this.
06:59There's a blade that can cut through what Kuya got.
07:02It's really dangerous.
07:04They only use their hands.
07:06It reminds us that this kind of life is sometimes short-lived.
07:16When we reached the upper part of the river,
07:20I thought they were done.
07:26But they only got a little bit of gold.
07:31So we continued to the other side of the river.
07:37The water here is not flowing anymore.
07:43It's not a river anymore.
07:46It's an estuary.
07:49Kuya, why did you choose this place?
07:52Because there are stocks of fish here.
07:56When the water flows, they can swim around here.
08:00Okay.
08:01They can swim around here.
08:03Okay.
08:04So they can swim in the rocks here?
08:07Yes.
08:09There are flowers, ma'am.
08:11Yes, Kuya.
08:13What will happen when the flowers fall?
08:16Will you continue?
08:17Yes, ma'am.
08:18Okay.
08:19Let's pray that we can see each other again so that you can go home.
08:24It's more dangerous here than when we were in the rocks.
08:29When you were in the rocks.
08:33We've been through a lot.
08:46A lot of people come here to pray.
08:56What did you get?
08:58Yes, ma'am.
08:59Silver.
09:00Pindan.
09:01It's big, ma'am.
09:02It's big.
09:03Silver.
09:04And a bell.
09:05It's big.
09:26But after five hours of searching, the bell is still ringing.
09:31You've been like this since yesterday, we haven't been able to get you anything.
09:34That's right, ma'am.
09:36What are you going to do?
09:39We'll just sell the fruits, ma'am.
09:44Or maybe we'll add more.
09:46But it's easier to find when it rains.
09:49When it rains?
09:50But it's raining now.
09:52That's right, ma'am.
09:52Yes.
09:53But there are parts here that haven't rained yet.
09:56Yes.
09:56Like this morning when we went there,
10:00there was a thunderstorm.
10:01Ah.
10:02Yes.
10:02It was early in the morning.
10:03Yes.
10:04Maybe it's just bad luck today.
10:06Yes.
10:06I wish I didn't have a plan.
10:08There, I have a plan.
10:11Okay, let's try again tomorrow.
10:12Okay.
10:13Maybe tomorrow we'll have a better chance.
10:15Yes.
10:15Yes.
