00:00One of the cheapest and most delicious vegetables is water spinach.

00:05But it's not a joke.

00:07Some residents in Laguna de Bay are literally in water spinach.

00:12How will their lives be if the water spinach is hit by a typhoon?

00:16That's what Kara David is talking about

00:18in the new episode of the Digital Documentary Program of GMA Public Affairs,

00:22which is called Kara Docs. Let's watch it.

00:26In this bay, in Angono Rizal, these boats are often seen.

00:40Rows of boats are sailing along this part of Laguna de Bay

00:44because this is where their community lives.

00:48They are the people who rely on the blessings of the six winds, rain or shine.

01:18The people who live here are fishing for water spinach.

01:22We are just looking for a beautiful place where the water spinach grows.

01:28Then we will go there to get the water spinach.

01:38When it comes to the shallow part of the bay,

01:40they go down one by one to get the water spinach.

01:45This is where I met Lorigin.

01:47She has been fishing for water spinach for more than a decade.

01:51Our quota now is that we need to make 10 ropes.

01:57Because one rope of water spinach is worth 3 pesos.

02:01So if I make 10, that's 30 pesos.

02:05How much is one rope?

02:07It's not counted.

02:11I lost a lot of money.

02:15I am from Catarma, Northern Samar.

02:21Then I got help.

02:24At first, I thought there was no calamity.

02:29But year after year, even though I have been living here for a long time, I am nervous.

02:35Even though their income is small,

02:37their dreams for their 8 children are still anchored in Cancun.

02:43I said, when you are done, I will not get it.

02:47That's yours.

02:51This village is inhabited by 50 families.

02:55They say that their family is very rich.

02:57They don't have any other income.

03:00Aside from this, they also fight against the bad weather.

03:07It's very dangerous.

03:08The storm is very strong.

03:11But what the whole community fears the most

03:14is the possible evacuation from their homes

03:17because they will not be able to live in their homes.

03:21They are afraid of the storm.

03:23But what the whole community fears the most

03:26is the possible evacuation from their homes

03:29because they are illegal settlers in their area.

03:33Based on the data released by the PSA or the Philippine Statistics Authority,

03:37in March of 2024, 2.11 million Filipinos are unemployed.

03:43One of the reasons for this is the number of calamities and storms that hit our country this year.

03:49But according to the local government of Angono,

03:51they are doing something so that people like Lorrie Jean will not always depend on the floodwaters.

03:58One thing they identified here is the water hyacinths that are being processed.

04:03Our CTLO and TESDA also have capacity development training that they just need to avail.

04:12This is the paradox of the story in each number.
