02:00I wonder what is the transportation system in Bayaniyuan
02:08Hold on tight, we're leaving
02:11One of them is about to leave
02:13That's the line of the barkers
02:15But because there are people who are screaming and there are people who are screaming
02:18The question is, how many people can fit in the jeep?
02:22Let's go around the jeep terminal here in Quezon City
02:26Hi, ka-wanderers!
02:28We are here at a jeepney terminal in Quezon City
02:31And we will know the life of a jeepney driver
02:35How is their driving?
02:38How is their daily work of driving a jeep?
02:47How was your trip?
02:49For now, it was a dull trip
02:52Why?
02:53Because there are a lot of passengers who are fighting here
02:56Really?
02:57Usually, those types of jeeps, how many do you ride?
03:02Does it depend on the length?
03:03This is 10
03:05But sometimes, it's like, can you reach it?
03:09It depends, if there are people who are fighting, you can reach it
03:12There are people who are fighting
03:14Yes, yes
03:15But there is nothing you can do if the passengers are choosing to fight
03:20Because they want to go home
03:22I've been traveling for 33 years
03:2533 years?
03:26Yes, I've been traveling
03:27So you're already used to it?
03:29Yes, I'm already used to it
03:30How many passengers does your jeep have?
03:33There are a lot
03:37If there are a lot of passengers in the jeep, more than 20 passengers can fit in it
03:43If there are a lot of passengers in the jeep, more than 20 passengers can fit in it
03:48There are mountains,
03:51sugar,
03:54rocks,
03:58and huge mountains that can be seen in many places here in Davao de Oro, Mindanao
04:08Just like in the town of Montevista, if you go there everyday, it's definitely a challenge to travel
04:14But there's no problem, To the Rescue is what we call Skylab
04:22It's the long one that can climb mountains
04:28And this jeep is not just for show, because it can carry a weight of 400 to 450 kg
04:38If you look at it, it's just an ordinary motorcycle just like the ones used in tricycles
04:44The difference is the iron seats that surround the driver
04:49which he will balance
04:52It's called Skylab because its design was taken from the satellite Skylab
04:58which was first brought by the United States to space
05:02But just like its drivers, Skylab was named after the word that was used to describe it
05:12And one of its loverboys is the Skylab driver, Charlie
05:17who went through Skylab to get married
05:22In 2012, when Charlie joined the company, this is where he worked since he was a kid until he got married
05:30Since then, we have a motorcycle and Skylab was made to carry goods to the center or barrios of people
05:44Skylab is also their main source of income
05:48From the transportation of goods and passengers, now they also have a small store
05:55Places like Monte Vista where Charlie travels
06:01are visited by ordinary vehicles because of the rough roads
06:06And because transportation in the area is difficult, this is the opportunity of earning money
06:13because the income is also good in the long run
06:18In an hour's trip, the fare is 100 pesos per passenger
06:25Even though it's an extra-challenging trip, it's worth it for Charlie
06:34Most of the passengers go to the town to shop
06:39Skylab is affordable because we can carry a lot of goods when we go to our town
06:49Because no one else can afford it, only Skylab
06:55But in daily trips to rough and rocky mountains, accidents can't be avoided
07:03In 2021, while Charlie was driving on the road, suddenly, someone rushed into him
07:12He was out of balance and his tires were punctured
07:16I felt sad because how can we spend our daily expenses for my family?
07:33Because of this, he had to stop driving for a long time
07:37And he stopped driving for almost a year
07:39But his dream of earning money for his wife and two children didn't stop
07:53Sometimes, Charlie's life was out of balance in an accident
07:57But the important thing is he didn't stop driving
08:03From here in Zambales, in the town of Botolan
08:05It's a 4-hour trip to Poonbato
08:11But it's not an ordinary trip, especially for the teachers of Poonbato Integrated School
08:20Because the teachers have to go all the way from Iloglahat to their school
08:28Every time we go up, we drive on Saturday afternoons to school
08:38And we go down on Friday afternoons after class
08:46And to make the trip faster, there's a to-the-rescue for the teachers
08:50Our star, Pagara, and her companion, Kuya Ariel
08:58Here in Poonbato Integrated School, we don't have other vehicles
09:03We only have caravans and caritons
09:08The caravans are the number one star when it comes to caravans
09:12Today, their caravans are the production of banana hearts
09:19They are also the caravans that carry, wrap, and weigh the banana hearts
09:29Ariel and her caravan, Pagara, are eager to go home
09:34And they steal the repacked vegetables when they go to school
09:38But even after the theft, Ariel and Pagara's new caravan has just started
09:46Because it's their job, they don't like to rest
09:55These caravans bravely cross the five rivers
09:59As their caravans pass by, the caravans are carrying the banana hearts
10:05As their caravans pass by, the caravans are carrying the banana hearts
10:11Ariel and her caravan are with them
10:17There's no bridge or any other means of transportation in the area
10:22No one can cross the Ilog Lahar but the caravans
10:25Because it will also collapse
10:29But when the Pinatubo Volcano erupted in 1991
10:33There was a strong flow of water and it became a wide river
10:44Every Friday, from Botolan, Sambales, the caravans are already scheduled to meet
10:49With almost 15 teachers of Poonbato Integrated School
10:55Sun, rain, and the flow of the river is a big help to the wildlife on their journey
11:03After almost three hours of travel
11:11The school has also arrived to meet the teachers
11:15Each of the teachers have their own equipment
11:18They are preparing to go down to the village
11:27On Thursday, because of the heavy rain, the class is suspended
11:31In Poonbato Integrated School
11:33That's why the teachers are doing their best
11:36Because the class is suspended by our municipality
11:41Today, we will have a school-based lap session
11:46We pray in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, Amen
11:53Let's eat!
11:56And on this day, after a simple lunch
12:05They are all taken care of almost six days a week in the school
12:11They have reached the point of building their own huts
12:14When we go out, the houses of the teachers are next to each other
12:21Each teacher has their own house that they built
12:27And on Friday afternoon, we go down together
12:32With three more coaches, the teachers ride one by one
12:40It's already 3 o'clock in the afternoon
12:42It's time for the coaches to go
12:44Because it's dangerous to travel when it gets dark
12:48First of all, I would like to thank the teaching force of Poonbato Integrated School
12:54Because they accepted the responsibility of teaching in a place like this
12:58It's really hard
13:03I always tell them
13:06Whatever sacrifices we make for the children
13:11Our Lord sees it all
13:18After just a few minutes of travel, it started to rain
13:23Along with the storm of August
13:31But it seems like it's normal in Bayanimburo
13:35In this kind of situation, we don't need to rush
13:40We will go down together
13:42So that we can go down faster
13:45We will go straight
13:46Because if we go down in August, it will be harder for us to go down in Bagabante
13:57The salvation of everyone is what we thank Kuya Ariel
14:02This is also what we live here in Baitan
14:08It's really a blessing
14:12We are also able to study
14:14That's why I am the only one doing this
14:17It's a blessing for us
14:23Even though they travel every month
14:25Twice a week, they pass by
14:29It's a pity
14:33We can't do this everyday
14:37I can't do this anymore
14:41In the midst of hardship, the Calabarans
14:44Are fighting with all their might in August
14:50We are nervous, we are afraid
14:52Our life is really related to this crossing
14:55But we are here
14:57Our passion in climbing
15:00When we reach the top, we won't be able to leave
15:02I can't do this anymore
15:10The plastic covers
15:11Were used by the teachers
15:13To save the items
15:17The carriages and boats are almost sunk
15:20The Calabarans here are really strong
15:23Even though the loads are heavy
15:27They are pulling the carriages
15:29Directly to our station
15:40And within 4 hours
15:42Even though it's still dark
15:44The teachers are already in the village
15:48I don't have 50 pesos
15:49It's registered
15:51In his bag
15:54Each one of them
15:55Pays 300 pesos for a massage
15:58Is that right?
15:5950 pesos
16:021,200 for the 4 people
16:04That each Calabarans rides
16:09Even though it's hard
16:10To carry the carriages
16:12There's no hesitation
16:13To help the teachers cross
16:18While the teachers
16:19Sacrifice their lives
16:21To provide services
16:37As a Calabaran
16:38Of course
16:39I won't be the last one
16:42Let's try and ride to clean
16:46It looks like it's flooded
16:49It's flooded inside
16:51What can I ride to get there?
16:55This is the guy
16:56It's a flood-proof tricycle
16:58I call it Ticling
16:59Why is it called Ticling?
17:01Because it's high
17:02Because it's a high-rise tricycle
17:04It's really flood-proof
17:05Okay, alright
17:06Let's go!
17:10That's why
17:11The Toda Association
17:12In 2020
17:14Came up with a temporary solution
17:17The Ticling
17:18It's like a bird
17:20With long wings
17:22And can swim in water
17:24The normal tricycle
17:26Is even higher
17:30Let's go
17:31Get on the Santa Cruz
17:32Santa Squad
17:33Let's go
17:34Okay, brothers and sisters
17:35Let's go
17:36Let's get on the Ticling
17:37So we can experience
17:39A picture
17:40I'll take a picture of you
17:41But get on the Ticling
17:45Okay
17:46We have a passenger
17:47And we're going to ride with Justin
17:49How is it?
17:50Like that?
18:02Wanderers
18:03We're walking with Justin
18:05We're going to the location
18:07We're going to take him
18:09Where is he?
18:10Where are we taking him?
18:11Hagunoy
18:13Yes, in Hagunoy, Bulacan
18:15My fellow countrymen
18:17He has a beautiful car
18:23Actually, this is my first time
18:24Experiencing something like this
18:26Because it's always raining here
18:28In Hagunoy, Bulacan
18:30That's why you provided
18:31A car like this
18:32That's tall
18:33Right?
18:34If there's no Ticling
18:36There's no passengers
18:41Rain or shine
18:42In Hagunoy, Bulacan
18:45The water is very high
18:50Aside from the high tide
18:51Another reason
18:54This is the fastest
18:55Flooding of land
18:56Or land subsidence
18:58Which is a natural phenomenon
19:02There it is
19:03We're going to drown here
19:06But when it floods
19:09I'm really speechless
19:13I'm speechless
19:17Residents are used to it
19:21But for those who live here
19:23Like the tricycle drivers
19:27The high tide
19:28Is a big problem for them
19:33Some of the Ticling drivers
19:35That we met
19:37Father Jenny and Justin
19:39Were among the first
19:41To ride a Ticling
19:45Justin grew up
19:46In this job
19:48This was his father's livelihood
19:52Until they graduated
19:54In 2023
19:55Justin worked as a seaman
20:00But he was forced
20:01To get a high salary
20:04Because instead of
20:06An international local vessel
20:08He was forced to work
20:12So in his return
20:13He rode a Ticling
20:15For his livelihood
20:19It's okay
20:20Ticling depends on the passengers
20:23If they can ride it or not
20:25Sometimes it's free
20:26Sometimes
20:27If I have the chance to earn
20:29I can earn up to a thousand
20:35In Ticling
20:36You can earn twice
20:37As much as a tricycle
20:39But it also depends
20:41If it doesn't flood
20:44Father Jenny's income
20:45Is also like that
20:46If it floods
20:48Our income here
20:49Is good
20:51But if it floods
20:52It's not good
20:53I can earn
20:54More than half
20:55Without Ticling
20:59Father Jenny
21:00Rides a Ticling
21:01For his children
21:03I ride a Ticling
21:04For my son
21:05To go to college
21:07If we don't go out
21:09There's nothing
21:12And even with Ticling
21:13Residents here still feel
21:16That they can solve
21:17The flood in the area
21:29Do you know the channels?
21:31No sir
21:32I don't know
21:33I don't know
21:34I don't know
21:35I don't know
21:36I don't know
21:37I don't know
21:38Super
21:39Innovative by the Filipinos
21:40It's really a discount
21:42Because our vehicles
21:43We make it ourselves
21:45From the wheels
21:46To the roof
21:47To the roof
21:48We maximize it
21:50Even for a few vehicles
21:51We can make a way
21:53Because we also find a way
21:55We earn here
21:56We should take care of it
21:59Do you know that
22:00Tricycle Ticling
22:01Helps a lot
22:02Because the people
22:03They go to
22:04The places they want to go
22:06Like going to work
22:08To work
22:09And
22:10Going to school
22:12Going to school
22:14I'm right there
22:16Yes sir
22:17All right
22:18They can go to important places
22:20Mama Su
