00:00Teacher Michael was a former private school teacher.

00:06He changed the name of Ginhawa ng Kapatagan to teach in a public school.

00:12He didn't expect that he would be assigned by the DepEd in a mountainous area.

00:17I was assigned to Mirayan Elementary School, Banluan Extension.

00:23I didn't notice the Banluan Extension.

00:25I thought that I could just go home and ride a motorcycle.

00:32We just looked at the river and how high it was.

00:37That's when I realized that this is the situation.

00:44Did you cry when you first went to the community?

00:47Yes, because we didn't know how far we could go.

00:52Ah, you didn't know.

00:54I didn't know this.

00:57You were fooled.

01:04At first, it was easy to cross the river.

01:07The water was shallow and calm.

01:14But as time went by, the current became stronger.

01:18It's easy to be fooled if you don't have a strong will.

01:23It's a small river, but the current is strong.

01:27So, be careful.

01:29This is Teacher Alvin's first assignment as a teacher.

01:53He spent years preparing for the opportunity to teach.

01:57But he was still surprised when he saw the road leading to Banluan.

02:04It's hard to refuse a job.

02:06If you're looking for a job, you'll be given a job.

02:09The only problem is how we climbed and descended.

02:13There were tragedies that we didn't expect.

02:20We slipped and fell into the river.

02:23We didn't think about it.

02:25It was really hard for the kids.

02:33After almost two hours, we finally reached the 25th cross-river.

02:42This is the last cross-river.

02:45After this, we'll go to Ahon.

02:48If you see that step, that's the start of Ahon.

02:55The joy of the journey was quickly replaced by anxiety when the good road came to us.

03:19Can we just go to the river again?

03:22I was praying that the river would end today.

03:25I hope it's just a river. It's easier than going to Putek.

03:32I'm still trying to run.

03:38This is what Teacher Michael and Teacher Alvin do every Sunday.

03:43It's hard and it takes a long time to teach.

03:48Are you regretting it?

03:50No, not really.

03:52At first, during the hiring, I was looking for a job.

03:59But when I saw the challenges here, I didn't give up.

04:04I was more challenged.

04:06It's really hard for the kids to teach.

04:15There are Puteks that are up to 20 years old.

04:22There are Puteks that are very soft.

04:30And there are Puteks that are very slippery.

04:33And there are Puteks that are very slippery.

04:43You just have to be patient.

04:59I can't do it anymore.

05:04Despite the sweat and the Putek, we continue our journey.

05:20The problem is, after an hour of walking in the Putekang,

05:26Suddenly, a heavy rain falls.

05:50I'm tired.

05:55I can't do it.

06:05I'm tired.

06:09It's only been an hour.

06:13Let's go.

06:17There are times when I want to give up.

06:20But the teachers say,

06:22There is no good or bad thing about people who are careless.

06:29Sometimes, when I go to school, it's wet.

06:32But our laptops and laptops are covered in plastic.

06:38And sometimes, when we go up, it's wet.

06:41So, we think about the kids.

06:45Because what will happen to the kids if we don't go up?

06:49They will be pitiful.

06:53After a few minutes,

07:05It's already four in the afternoon when we reach the end of our journey.

07:10The site of the people of Mangyar.

07:17Thank you, Lord.

07:50Thank you for tuning in to Eyewitness, Kapuso.
