00:29 [music]

00:31 Who wouldn't wake up if you hear this?

00:35 Garbage net!

00:37 Garbage!

00:39 Hey, there's garbage!

00:41 Garbage! Garbage!

00:43 At the voice of Kuya Alex, you'll really see garbage.

00:49 [music]

00:51 But you should distinguish Kuya Alex because he didn't just carry garbage.

00:55 [music]

01:00 He's also a sweet winner.

01:03 [music]

01:10 Good morning, Kabrigada. We're here in San Roque.

01:15 It's still early in the morning.

01:18 The people here are carrying garbage and their leader is Kuya Alex.

01:25 He's the garbage man here.

01:28 We're going to get a lot of garbage.

01:33 Where's Kuya Alex?

01:35 There he is!

01:36 Kuya Alex!

01:37 How are you?

01:38 Good morning, ma'am.

01:39 How are you?

01:40 Are we going to carry this?

01:41 Yes, all of that.

01:42 That's a lot.

01:43 That's a lot.

01:44 That's a little more.

01:46 That's a little more.

01:47 That's a lot.

01:49 Every morning, if you have a problem with garbage,

01:53 Kuya Alex will help you.

01:55 Just come here to the office.

01:56 Let's go!

01:57 [music]

01:59 Kuya Alex starts his work at 4 am.

02:03 This is what he does every day.

02:05 He's carrying a pile of garbage that's scattered on the road.

02:10 [music]

02:15 You're just throwing it away?

02:16 You're not going to segregate it anymore?

02:18 No.

02:19 [music]

02:22 We're going to get a lot of garbage.

02:26 [music]

02:31 It's full here.

02:33 It's hard to get it there.

02:35 [music]

02:40 Oh, there's more.

02:41 [music]

02:43 We were a little bit caught off guard by this scene

02:46 because the garbage was left in a corner on the sidewalk.

02:50 [music]

02:52 Why did they throw the garbage in the trash can?

02:56 The people who walk here are collecting the garbage.

03:01 Oh, I see.

03:03 You might be wondering why the garbage is scattered here.

03:08 The truth is, the residents here put their garbage in the trash cans.

03:13 The problem is, the people who walk around with garbage,

03:18 they just threw it in the trash can and threw it away.

03:21 They didn't throw it away.

03:23 No, they didn't.

03:25 [music]

03:26 But no matter how dirty and how much garbage,

03:29 Kuya Alex is very careful not to complain.

03:33 Oh my God!

03:35 [laughs]

03:38 Do you do this every day?

03:40 Until Sunday.

03:41 Until Sunday?

03:42 We don't have a break.

03:43 [music]

03:53 Oh my God!

03:54 You saw the hard work of the garbage collectors.

03:59 [music]

04:08 The next time you throw garbage,

04:11 remember the hard work of the garbage collectors.

04:15 If possible, put it in the right place so that they won't have a hard time.

04:20 Kuya Alex has been helping to maintain cleanliness in their barangay for three years.

04:26 To be honest, he really has a four-man position in San Roque Barangay.

04:30 But because of his hard work, he himself is working hard no matter how dirty it is.

04:36 Your job in the barangay is four-man, right?

04:40 It means that when you are four-man, you are the only one in charge.

04:44 You are in charge, like a broom.

04:46 Yes.

04:47 Like the broom of all the garbage collectors.

04:50 Why do you collect garbage yourself? You are a broom.

04:55 No, because I need to clean the garbage.

04:58 Because your colleagues are working hard.

05:00 How can I help them?

05:02 [music]

05:17 Aside from throwing garbage in their place,

05:20 Sir, let's go there.

05:22 Kuya Alex is also involved in other jobs,

05:25 such as cleaning the canal.

05:28 That's why we are cleaning it now.

05:30 Because when the water rises, the water can't escape because it's barred.

05:34 It's sinking here.

05:36 That's why the people here, when the water level is low,

05:41 we have to dig it so that it won't leak.

05:45 Sometimes, the garbage is floating there.

05:49 He also assists in getting clearance in the barangay.

05:53 The people who are going to get clearance are from the media agencies,

05:59 medical medical, barangay ID.

06:02 I am the one who is in charge of that.

06:04 We just let our secretary do it.

06:07 Before he joined the barangay,

06:11 he worked in a fish market for almost 20 years.

06:15 We were selling sick domes for almost five years.

06:18 When the pandemic happened, I went to the barangay.

06:21 I have two trucks.

06:30 One is in San Jose, in San Roque.

06:33 The other is in Banco, in Bacug.

06:37 And here.

06:39 I have to run to get there.

06:42 After that, I will transfer here to Kapalaran.

06:45 But we only transfer it to Lyonson in the morning.

06:49 We start at 5 am when we transfer to Lyonson.

06:52 Because of his hard work and dedication to his work,

06:58 Kuya Alex was encouraged by his fellow barangay members

07:01 to run as a worker in their barangay.

07:04 He is a very hardworking person.

07:06 He helps us very well.

07:09 He is the one who takes care of the garbage.

07:17 But his wife is different.

07:20 Despite this, Kuya Alex is very determined to run.

07:24 We are also told to run.

07:26 The people who are telling me to run,

07:29 I am also very determined to run.

07:31 The people in Lyonson,

07:33 the ones we were taking care of earlier,

07:35 the elders are telling them that I should run.

07:39 They will help me.

07:40 I am very happy to run.

07:42 But I don't have any expenses.

07:44 I just donated almost everything.

07:47 I have only 5.

07:50 I have spent P310.

07:52 I just bought the flyer.

07:55 With the help of his fellow barangay members,

08:01 he has expanded the campaign of "No Expenses".

08:04 And after the election last October,

08:08 Kuya Alex won as a worker in their barangay.

08:12 I won as a worker because of the garbage.

08:16 I can't use it, but I work in the garbage.

08:19 That's the most I can do.

08:22 Because of this great success of Kuya Alex,

08:27 his wife's promise is supported.

08:30 Of course, I am proud because he is running the garbage.

08:33 He is a worker now.

08:35 Next week,

08:39 Kuya Alex will officially become a worker

08:42 in the barangay of San Roque.

08:44 But he said that nothing will change in his work.

08:49 How will that happen?

08:51 You are now a worker, right?

08:54 How will that happen?

08:56 I will continue the work I started.

08:59 You will still be doing garbage?

09:01 Yes, I will continue.

09:03 I need to work.

09:05 Why? Why are you still doing garbage?

09:08 I like it.

09:10 I am happy with my job.

09:12 When I see them, I am happy.

09:14 Alex's wife said that

09:16 the salary and title are not the measure of service.

09:20 If you want to be a true leader,

09:23 you should be the first one to work.

09:27 I am not ashamed.

09:29 I am not ashamed of my work.

09:31 I will continue my work.

09:33 I will continue where I started.

09:35 Correct.

09:36 You started and people are happy because of your service.

09:39 Yes.

09:40 When you are in a position,

09:42 you should not forget that.

09:43 Yes.

09:44 That's what I need.

09:45 And because of that,

09:46 we put you in my position.

09:49 He needs to dream.

09:58 I told him that I already achieved my dream.

10:01 My dream is to become a real officer.

10:03 They say that there is money in the trash.

10:07 But this is not what Alex's duty is,

10:10 but the trust and love of his employer.

10:14 The hard work and care he gave to his colleagues,

10:18 are things that can never be paid off.

10:25 I am Cara David, with I isang Brigada.

10:29 I am Cara David, with I isang Brigada.
