Sa bahay kubo ni Ma’am Melona, ang pag-aaral ay walang edad. Kahit may mga trabaho o abala sa buhay, ang bawat isa ay naglalaan ng oras upang matuto.
Pero sa kabila ng kanilang kagustuhang matututo, hirap silang makabasa kaya isang salamin na nagkakahalaga ng ₱50 ang pinagsasaluhan ng mga mag-aaral.
Panoorin ang ‘Isang Antipara,’ dokumentaryo ni Mav Gonzales sa #IWitness.

00:00We didn't see anything earlier. I thought there were no more houses inside, but there are still a lot of people living here.
00:08When we arrived at Sitio Pinaganakan, we had to walk a long way to the so-called classroom of the divers.
00:30Ouch! Wait a minute. They pinched my leg.
00:45We haven't walked for two minutes yet. Their terrain here is a bit challenging.
01:00This is the classroom of the divers.
01:16At the same time, the old divers come inside this small cave.
01:24You'd think there'd be a council of elders.
01:30But they're not.
01:36But their attitude is different.
01:41They are the students of the para-teacher, Ma'am Melona.
01:50Their ages are not mentioned because they all don't have birth certificates.
01:57The classroom is inside the hall of their house.
02:08There's a small blackboard and a few pieces of paper and pencil.
02:14Even though we're old, we still have hope to learn.
02:20That's why everyone is interested.
02:26One, two, three, four.
02:31The schedule of the class is marked when each student is free.
02:36Their students, neighbors, and neighbors.
02:43There's no signal in Sitio Pinaganakan.
02:47That's why the students are already in class.
02:50If I tell them what time it is, when they're done praying, they go to the classroom.
02:58Since they have little knowledge of reading,
03:02Ma'am Melona shows them flashcards.
03:13But the class is getting slower.
03:17But the class is getting slower when it's time to write the lecture.
03:22They can write all the names, but they can't write the names of the seniors at the same time.
03:29Because the eyes will get blurry.
03:32They will wait for one to finish so they can borrow the flashcards.
03:37This flashcard was bought for 50 pesos.
03:41This flashcard was bought for 50 pesos.
03:44An antipara that was given to an old student by Ma'am Melona.
04:01Ma'am Melona will start first, then the antipara will be given to the next student.
04:08Are you okay with sharing the flashcards?
04:11Yes, my eyes are blurry when I'm reading.
04:15Yes, when you're writing.
04:19Okay.
04:21Her grade seems high.
04:23Because her grades are blurry for me.
04:25Her grades are high.
04:27My grades are 100-100, but her grades are still blurry for me.
04:31I think her grades are around 200.
04:38That's why the scene in the classroom is usually like this.
04:41The scene in the classroom is usually like this.
05:11Some of the students haven't started their activities yet.
05:16Because they are still waiting for the flashcards.
05:18Because their eyes are blurry, they can't do it.
05:32They are measuring the length of the forehead of the students to learn.
05:41Hey!
05:44Hey!
05:48Hey!
