Aired (November 18, 2023): Iba raw ang naging pamamaraan ng Barangay Captain ng San Roque na si Enrico Gino-Gino. Imbes daw kasi na hulihin, arestuhin o patayin ang mga taong nasangkot sa droga, inaakay niya ang mga ito at binibigyan ng maayos na trabaho. Para sa kanya, mas mainam ito na paraan para maituwid muli ang kanilang buhay.

00:00 But everything changed in 2013 when the new captain of Barangay San Roque took office.
00:08 Unlike the violent drug war, instead of arresting, arresting, or killing,
00:14 Captain Ricky invited the shabu users and gave them jobs.
00:22 Usually, the workers are given jobs. Why did you give them jobs?
00:31 What can you do if you don't give them a chance?
00:34 They are poor. Actually, they are also victims of poverty.
00:38 Edmond is one of the lucky ones to get a job. He became a driver of a garbage truck.
00:46 I told him, "Boss, I don't know how to drive a truck." He forced me to do it.
00:54 He said, "I really want to see you change."
00:58 According to Edmond, more than money or a job,
01:03 it is the trust of the people that determines their change.
01:10 It's a big thing for me to have the trust of my boss. So I did it to him.
01:16 I didn't lie to him.
01:19 Give people a chance. People who are addicts like us. Give them a chance because it will change.
01:29 For several years, the couple worked hard to change their lives.
01:37 They worked under the drug testing for weeks until they became clean in drugs.
01:44 It's really hard to stop them.
01:48 It's hard.
01:49 But if you really want to change, you will change.
01:56 Edmond used the money he earned from his job to start a small business.
02:07 And in 2017, the couple finally stopped their addiction.
02:14 This is also the year that their daughter, Katrina, finished her high school.
02:26 I'm so happy. I can't put my happiness in those times.
02:32 I know that they are proud of me. I'm the same to them.
02:37 I'm like, "Hello guys, these are my parents. They changed. They are better now."
02:44 Now, the streets of Empierno and the whole barangay of San Roque are drug-free.
02:52 The old drugs are now an inspiration to their neighbors.
03:00 This street has no official name.
03:03 It's a dream of the residents to get rid of the country called "Kalye Empierno."
03:09 To have a new name, to erase the image of the past.
03:15 Because the hope of their small business has already faded.
03:21 Actually, I've been saying that for a long time.
03:25 That there is only one resolution of our barangay,
03:30 that we will change the street to "Kalye Empierno" by name.
03:34 But it can be "Kalye Paraiso" for all the people there.
03:39 It's a good idea for the people who come here.
03:43 Captain Ricky's term is over this year.
03:48 He hopes that he will be promoted to the new halal captain
03:52 to pass a resolution to have a new name, "Kalye Empierno."
03:58 Edmond and Luz have already bought a house on another street.
04:05 "Oh, this house is bigger."
04:08 But instead of living there, they just let it be.
04:13 Because they have no plans to leave "Kalye Empierno,"
04:17 whatever the name of the street.
04:21 "We're just here.
04:22 A lot of people are asking us why we don't want to leave here.
04:25 Because I have a house here that's a bit big.
04:28 But I don't want to leave. I like it here."
04:32 "Even if you say that there were bad things that happened here before."
04:38 "Yes, there were bad things that happened, but there were also good things that happened.
04:41 We also changed here."
04:45 "Yes, we changed here."
04:47 "Yes, we changed here."
04:50 "Kalye Empierno"
04:55 "Kalye Empierno"
05:01 "Kalye Empierno"
05:05 "Kalye Empierno"
05:11 "Kalye Empierno"
