00:00 How do the nomads live?
00:03 It all starts with the world they have created.
00:12 This is Maspate.
00:23 One of the most difficult provinces in the country.
00:28 The nomads live in the province of San Miguel, in the province of San Luis PotosÃ.
00:33 After class, the nomads go straight home to their hometown of Sinilo.
00:42 The children do not play.
00:51 Instead, they practice boxing.
00:58 Because they do not have boxing gloves, they just use a piece of cloth wrapped around their hands.
01:06 They dream of becoming a professional boxer one day.
01:14 And they slowly achieve this, at every punch, in the middle of the ring.
01:21 This is how it is done.
01:23 [music]
01:25 How do you do it? Teach me how to do the right punch.
01:34 Like this.
01:35 How about the foot?
01:37 Like this.
01:38 Like this, and then?
01:39 Like this.
01:40 Like that.
01:41 Is that right?
01:44 How can I get better?
01:47 Show me again.
01:52 Oh, there's an overcut.
01:54 How do you make your punch stronger?
01:58 I punch the bananas to make them stronger.
02:04 Let me see how you punch the bananas.
02:06 Be careful.
02:08 It doesn't hurt, right?
02:10 Not really.
02:11 If I punch you?
02:12 Wait.
02:15 What should I do?
02:16 [punches]
02:21 [laughs]
02:23 The bananas are pitiful, they have no opponent.
02:25 Do the bananas also punch?
02:27 No.
02:29 No?
02:30 What if you get punched by a banana? What will happen?
02:32 It will hurt.
02:34 Nilo's mother died last year from cancer.
02:43 Her father, Nilo Sr., is providing for his children with his small income from driving.
02:50 Do you have gloves at home?
02:54 No.
02:55 Why not?
02:56 I can't afford to buy one.
02:58 Did you tell him that you want gloves?
03:02 Yes.
03:03 What did your father say?
03:04 He said, "If you have a lot of money."
03:10 Boxing is one of the most popular sports in the Philippines.
03:14 And the love of Filipinos is growing because of the success of the most famous Filipino boxer, Manny Pacquiao.
03:27 Pacquiao proved that success can be achieved through boxing.
03:35 Why did you join boxing?
03:38 Because Pacquiao is my idol.
03:40 Why is he your idol?
03:42 Because he always wins.
