Transcript
00:00 It is considered that the island of Pagasa Island is at the center of the protection of the Philippines against the invaders in the West Philippine Sea.
00:07 But the island is lacking in facilities, even in the supply of goods and food.
00:12 The students, they have no teacher and they admit that they are lacking in what they are learning.
00:17 From Pagasa Island, live on TV, Joseph Moro.
00:21 Joseph.
00:26 Emil, if you will visit Pagasa Island in Kalayaan, the first thing you will notice are the destroyed facilities,
00:32 like the old schools that are in ruins since the Odette storm in 2021.
00:38 December 2021, when the Odette storm hit Pagasa Island,
00:47 the island is being swept by strong winds and there is almost nothing to be seen around.
00:51 Iron is flying and the trees are almost falling.
00:55 It's been almost two years, but you would think that it happened only yesterday,
01:03 if the facilities here are what you would see.
01:06 The municipality is already growing grass.
01:09 This school is in ruins even though a small house is being built next to it.
01:14 But it is not just the lack of facilities.
01:17 Here, there are students in uniform, but no teacher.
01:21 It's a bit messy here from grade 1 to grade 10, and now,
01:26 hello, there is no teacher yet, they are waiting.
01:31 The children are reading their own books.
01:34 What are you doing here?
01:36 We are writing.
01:37 Who told you to write?
01:39 Ma'am.
01:40 Ma'am told you to write that first.
01:42 Yes.
01:43 And then, are you reading that?
01:45 Read it.
01:49 You are not reading it?
01:51 Only the teacher aid is being sent because the teachers assigned here have not yet arrived from Puerto Princesa, Palawan.
01:59 There are graduating students who admitted that they have not learned enough.
02:03 They are only being sent the modules that they are studying.
02:07 I don't know. When I graduated from grade 10, I went to grade 11, I don't know how I will be...
02:14 We will call the teacher in charge before the 8th grade so we can find out why they have not yet arrived.
02:25 But it's not just the lack of education.
02:27 There is only one clinic here that has two midwives.
02:30 For first aid.
02:32 Here?
02:33 How? For example, if you are stroked?
02:35 Stroke, sir.
02:36 We will go down, sir. We will do an air evac there.
02:39 Supply is also hard, depending on if there is a trip to the island.
02:42 We experienced Christmas without preparing for New Year.
02:46 What do you do when you are like that?
02:47 Nothing, sir. Just rice.
02:51 Rice? What do you eat?
02:52 Just sardines.
02:54 Life here is simple.
02:56 The DICT has free Wi-Fi so in the afternoon, the islanders gather here in this tree.
03:02 At night, someone is playing video games.
03:08 In the day, children are praying.
03:10 In the distance, the China Coast Guard's ship is watching.
03:13 At night, the lights of the ships from China are blinking.
03:18 A reminder that this is not an ordinary settlement.
03:21 And it is in the middle of the fight for the territories of freedom of various countries.
03:31 [News Anchor]
03:46 Thank you very much, Joseph Morong.
