00:00 Garbage? No problem!
00:01 Action Giant will be the food!
00:03 Because of garbage, it can be leveled up.
00:06 This is the amazing story about garbage that is beautiful.
00:10 Necessity is the mother of invention.
00:22 One of our countrymen proved it in Pampanga.
00:25 When he lost his job,
00:27 he thought of a different way to earn money
00:30 and show his love for nature.
00:33 The ploughing of the fields from garbage.
00:37 Up close, this can be considered a real house.
00:42 This is just one of the miniature houses
00:44 ploughed by Jason Nodamunios of Mabalacat City, Pampanga.
00:48 I grew up in this kind of house and this kind of lifestyle.
00:53 I just want to bring back my past through the scenes I do.
00:58 I hope that someday this will be a replica of my past.
01:02 I hope that this kind of house will be gone from the Philippines.
01:05 How long do I do miniature art?
01:07 Mostly, we can reach 2 months to 5 months.
01:10 Jason was a tattoo artist before.
01:13 But he lost his job during the pandemic.
01:16 He thought of trying to make miniature houses.
01:20 I use recycled materials for the scenes.
01:24 It's more comfortable.
01:26 I'm proud of myself when I'm able to make an artwork
01:31 from the things I throw away.
01:32 At the same time, I'm happy because I'm able to help the environment.
01:36 Plastics, metal, and so on are all there.
01:39 We just need to broaden our mind in the scene.
01:43 In every miniature house, he earns up to Php 15,000.
01:50 It's true that money is in the trash.
01:53 Jason's imagination was his battle against poverty.
01:58 Now, he's an inspiration.
02:02 There are no trash cans here in Bangkong, Kahoy.
02:11 The people who take care of this place say
02:14 that it's for the visitors to throw their trash in the right place.
02:20 It's a good thing, right?
02:22 It's beautiful and it will become a big trash can.
02:25 But many of us are not used to our own trash.
02:32 That's why trash is one of the biggest threats to the environment.
02:36 Have you seen the spread picture of a dead whale
02:40 in front of the Cultural Center of the Philippines or CCB?
02:43 The one that's full of trash?
02:45 It looks real, right?
02:47 But this is the "Cry of the Dead Whale."
02:51 It's a 78-foot art installation by artist B-boy Royong
02:56 for the Earth Month celebration of the CCP in April.
03:00 It was inspired by the dead whales
03:03 because of the plastic and other trash they ate.
03:06 This is one way to broaden the awareness of Filipinos
03:10 about the problem of plastic pollution in the country
03:13 and its impact on wildlife.
03:16 This is also the goal of Jazeer Lascuña,
03:20 a visual artist who uses trash to create his works.
03:26 So let's talk trash.
03:28 Jazeer, welcome to Amazing Earth.
03:31 How did you start creating trash?
03:37 At first, I just collected junk.
03:40 I just like collecting junk, trash.
03:44 At first, I just thought of doing it
03:49 because there's already a lot of it.
03:52 It's enough to make artworks.
03:55 What are the materials you use the most?
04:01 Or raw materials?
04:03 Mostly metal.
04:04 Really metal?
04:05 Yes, metal.
04:06 Instead of buying new raw materials,
04:10 I just use trash.
04:11 Plastic?
04:12 I also use plastic.
04:14 What are the examples of your creations?
04:17 You're holding something.
04:18 What do you call that?
04:19 This is my series of monsters, bacteria.
04:24 How do people who want to learn how to make it?
04:26 Do you have workshops for artists like you?
04:31 Yes, I conduct free art workshops for kids.
04:37 Why kids?
04:39 They're the ones who will be directly affected when the time comes.
04:44 What do you want to say behind all your works?
04:47 Let's not underestimate our nature.
04:53 Let's be a part of the solution.
04:56 I hope we can reduce our problems.
05:01 Let's not increase our problems.
05:03 Let's contribute to solving our problems.
05:08 I'm sure there are people who want to be a junk artist like you.
05:13 What do you have to say to them?
05:15 Is it easy or hard?
05:16 Are there steps that they need to follow?
05:18 Will they call you?
05:20 They can call me.
05:22 They can consult me.
05:24 They can sort out the raw materials.
05:28 Once they have it, they can use their imagination.
05:33 We're all artists.
05:37 It's impossible not to create your own masterpiece.
05:44 Thank you so much, Jazir.
05:46 You're not just a good artist.
05:48 You're also an amazing earth hero for us.
05:50 Thank you.
05:51 Long live!

05:57 Ordinary Katsa, who has earned a lot of money in many ways.
06:01 The inspiring story of a young man who has gone through many trials in life.
06:06 But he chose to stand up to support his family with the help of Katsa.
06:11 Ordinary Katsa, you thought it's not important anymore.
06:16 Can you still earn money?
06:18 In 2009, when the Metro Manila and Luzon were flooded,
06:25 because of the typhoon,
06:26 almost 5 million people were affected by the typhoon.
06:29 Merlita Manikad's family is also here.
06:33 She has 3 children and is a resident of Basin.
06:35 When the typhoon hit, the water reached our house.
06:40 Now, when you go out, it's already the sea.
06:43 At that time, we felt like we could finish everything there.
06:47 But we couldn't swim.
06:50 The calamity that came to Merl's life followed.
06:53 Before it was too late,
06:55 her husband, Mang Toto, had a serious problem with his health.
06:59 He was diagnosed with leukemia.
07:01 My husband has been suffering from leukemia for almost 8 years.
07:05 My husband is a CML patient, or what they call chronic myelogenous leukemia.
07:11 Although he is chronic, he has been taking medicine for a long time.
07:14 The medicine is very expensive.
07:16 We experienced that we only had to eat twice.
07:19 At that time, we were having a hard time.
07:22 We were happy to have a neighbor who prepared food for us,
07:25 because we felt like we would have free dinner.
07:27 That feeling of buying medicine,
07:30 but you still have to ask the candidates.
07:33 I reached that point.
07:35 Then, you will reach the end of life, it's worth 50 pesos.
07:37 I feel sorry for myself.
07:39 I did that for 6 months, actually,
07:41 when he had a heart surgery,
07:43 because it was a side effect of being a leukemia patient.
07:47 I stopped asking for help.
07:49 I said, "I can't do this. I need to get up again,
07:51 to make a way, because I can't do this.
07:55 I know that I'm a soldier.
07:58 The more I get hurt, the more I shout,
08:02 the more I strive hard,
08:04 the more I run, even if you say I walk with a white face.
08:07 Just so I don't reach the point of insanity,
08:10 where I break my head because of all the problems,
08:13 I thought of going back to my love,
08:15 to my faith.
08:17 But instead of giving up,
08:19 Ate Merle and Mang Toto fought.
08:22 They came up with a new way to earn and live.
08:26 And this is where the idea of a business
08:31 from the old sack of flour,
08:34 the "Katsa" came in.
08:36 Aside from the apron,
08:38 I was able to sell the wearables,
08:41 which is the bags and the clothes.
08:44 Like the old "Katsang", it was just an apron.
08:46 But when she found a new thing,
08:48 the husband had a new hope.
08:51 Someone donated money to us,
08:53 we immediately bought medicine.
08:55 Because my husband was sick,
08:57 I prioritized the medicine.
08:59 I saved 500 pesos,
09:01 I saved that, and the rest is history.
09:04 The business started with a total of 500 pesos.
09:07 It's now helping other people.
09:09 Right now, I have one year more
09:12 of help from PWDs.
09:15 There are a lot of small and big awards that I received.
09:19 But that thing,
09:21 there's nothing more than the joy
09:24 that I can give to the people who depend on me.
09:27 Ate Merle is also proud of being eco-friendly
09:30 in her "Kraftcha" business.
09:32 The "Katsa" can stay for more than 10 years.
09:36 Because that's what makes it strong.
09:39 Now, in those 10 years,
09:41 isn't that a big thing that I can reduce the trash?
09:44 Imagine, the few years that I can save
09:47 that should have been trash
09:50 after I left the bakery.
09:52 Ate Merle is an inspiration.
09:54 Whatever storm comes in our lives,
09:56 we should not be afraid.
09:59 The millennials told us,
10:00 "Just be a storm, we are Filipino."
10:03 I just finished high school,
10:05 but it didn't stop me
10:08 from challenging myself in any challenge in life.
10:12 Because my belief is,
10:14 if there's a challenge,
10:16 and you want to do something,
10:17 there's a way.
10:18 So to our On The Go supporters,
