00:00Gemma Integrated News visited Pag-asa Island in West Philippine Sea

00:04to find out the situation of some of our fellow Filipinos there.

00:08Our team saw the sacrifices of the teachers who are teaching the children there.

00:13The first news is from Darlene Cai.

00:25After class, the students of Pag-asa Island went home.

00:29But some of the students of Pag-asa Island are not on vacation here.

00:35Teacher Michelle is still working hard to prepare for tomorrow's class.

00:40After that, she will prepare her bed.

00:44Here in the classroom, Teacher Michelle has been living for 44 years.

00:49Behind the blackboard is a tent where she sleeps at night.

00:54Teacher Michelle is from Quezon, Palawan.

00:56She did not expect that this would be their situation when they arrived at Pag-asa Island.

01:02I was dismayed.

01:04But at that time, I had no choice.

01:08I had to adapt to what's here on the island because it's far from the mainland.

01:15Even with the boat, we were having a hard time.

01:18I wanted to get off the boat.

01:20But you can't because you're already in the middle.

01:23So I just had to go.

01:25It didn't take long for Teacher Michelle to adjust.

01:28Somehow, she became comfortable in the bed inside her tent.

01:32It's hard because I used to sleep on the bed.

01:35Now, I just sleep on the bed.

01:37But later on, after a month, I got used to it.

01:45Teacher Ayan is 34 years old.

01:48She also set up her bed in the supply room of their classroom.

01:52When we arrived here, we were provided a place to stay.

01:57But we were crowded because at that time, there were six of us in one house.

02:02So we just adjusted until we arrived here.

02:08It's hard for them whenever it rains because the water enters the room.

02:12When it rains, the wind is strong and the water enters the window.

02:17So that's our experience.

02:20We use water to dry our clothes.

02:25The local government of Kalayaan, Palawan admitted that

02:29the teachers in Isla Nang Pag-asa do not have sufficient accommodation.

02:33The comfort that they don't have now

02:40because of the sudden increase in the number of teachers,

02:45the LGU did not prepare their accommodation.

02:51At present, there are 14 teachers teaching in Pag-asa Island.

02:56Despite everything,

02:58Teacher Michelle, Teacher Ayan, and all the teachers in Pag-asa continue to strive and teach.

03:04When I see that they are okay, that they are learning,

03:09my family also hopes that I am okay here.

03:16So I need to be strong inside.

03:19I just hope that we will have a comfortable staff house.

03:25I also hope that we will have transportation because it's hard for us.

03:33GMA Integrated News is still waiting for the statement of the Department of Education about this.

03:38Although the situation is not perfect for the teachers we talked to here,

03:42they still have the heart to help the students of Pag-asa Island.

04:22Although the situation is not perfect for the teachers we talked to here,

04:26they still have the heart to help the students of Pag-asa Island.
