archipelago from Luzon to Mindanao,
the dots scattered across the
ocean, small islands until
now, are still being counted,
added to and
studied, but the islands are
considered a wealth, but they are
poverty, because there are still places in the
Philippines that are difficult to reach with help and
services. Even though we have been on the map for a long time,
and some of our compatriots here are
in danger of disappearing, even Filipinoness.
I traveled to Tawitawi to explore
map. I want to meet
our compatriots in
these distant places whose stories are rarely revealed.
So, we are here today in Sitangkai,
a town in the southern part of
Tawi-Tawi. This is not really where
we are going. But
we need to rest for a while before walking to the
[Music]
At the end of Tawi-Tawi, the
town of Si
Tangkay is home to more than 5 million
people, most of whom are not from the sea or from the badiao,
every Monday, the
[Music] The
islands even though they study at the same
school. The
living conditions of the
children are not the same. When recess comes, the year-
old Tadal or Tads was bought to be
left inside the
classroom. He didn't have any food or money to
buy snacks. What if you don't have any
food? What if you don't eat all
day? No, that's not it.
I just ate at
home. We have two names of
Yobob. In the small one in Bulbulong,
Tats' family lives more than 20
km from here. Today, Father is
said to be simple. Life
there is simple. What do you do in Bolbolo?
What does Papa do for a living?
My father is my father. That's all. Your mother stays at home. She
does the housework. She
takes care of you when Papa is not there.
Yes. How many siblings do you have?
16. Wow. 16. Your family is big. Oh, I want to
learn. Because there is no
school in Bulbul,
Tads has to take a boat for two to
three hours to get to school.
This expense is heavy for the
family, so you have to sacrifice
your siblings. How
many of you have studied?
Only three of the
others stopped because We don't have enough money to spend, we do
n't have any
money, so it's just us three, are the
two of us educated? Are they older or younger?
younger?
Or are they younger? I'm the only one who's grown up. [Music]
Tads has a deeper reason
why he wants to finish his
studies and bring some knowledge
to his
island. So three of them died. Three
of your siblings died. Yes, they're older.
This is SAO. What happened to
before Tads was born. Three
of his siblings died at a young
age. [Music] I didn't catch up with them. What do they look like?
What happened to
them? [Applause] I want to finish
college. Yes, college. Do you think I
can do it? [Applause]
[Applause] [Music] It's
journey with some health
workers from Tangkay. We're
going to one of the most remote and
We're now going to Pang
Gungan Island.
It's known as the southernmost
island of the Philippines before reaching the
waters that are part of Saba
Malaysia. We're riding a Tim
Pil. This is one of them. local boat is quite big so
we can all fit but don't be
deceived because it can also go fast
We've been at
sea for two hours, the sun is shining but the weather is mild
took a while We've reached the farthest
rest area means panggung
in the
Badjao language it's only 50 kro away
from Semporna [Music]
[Music]
Saba from the beach you can see it clearly
clearly [Music]
this used to be a stronghold of bandit groups
like Abu SAF Panggung
before the military took over in
2017 a detachment of Marines was
assigned to the area Since
then it has been home to more than t [Music]
[Music]
bad because they are far from health
centers a medical center [Music]
over the years the
Panggung has grown rapidly are you surprised that there are more people who have
no village I came here
here
only in 2021 it seems like there are only four houses
here when that's what you're worried about Yes
sir Because you
children don't have vitamins they can't
[Music]
water health workers measured and weighed the
[Music]
children in Isla two out of every five
come out malnourished and stunted Or
underweight and short. Is there a lot of
nutrition here because sometimes
food the midwife examined a
because the place is far away
pregnant women in Pangan are going to see a
a
doctor. Have you talked to the pregnant woman
you chineked up earlier? It's been a few months since
then sir. I told her after
giving birth to get a planning card. Why?
How many children does she have? It's serious,
five because I said
those are dangerous. Those five are high risk.
I told her didn't she go to the
center for her other children
she got pregnant with?
She didn't just go here. If you ask her
when she's already full, she's
fine. Or I told her we're
going to the birthing clinic. Yes. What did
she say? Do you think
they'll go there for the fifth time. Even
the first one didn't give birth at home,
maybe she's regretting it? travel because that's what it is
possible to build a health center
here The assignee should be here too
here too
ters that's why It's a pity that the ones here are
known as sailors or gypsies
because they are used to moving from
home to home they are also easily disturbed by
trouble and [Music]
[Music]
conflict the badyaws are known as sailors or gypsies
because they are used to
moving from home they are also easily
conflict before there were
borders or boundaries drawn on the map that
define the territories of different
countries the badiaos were here
before they could freely
travel to the islands that are
now separated from the Philippines
Indonesia But
their situation is much more difficult
now and
three years since
Joe decided to move to Panggung
family it's said it's difficult to fish
around Bungga the capital of
Tawi-Tawi where they live then
then
you thought about coming here
because it's so far away we know there is a
Marines Navy here and then you heard a lot of
stories Sir, the
place is quiet, mm. So I thought I'd
just go here to look for life,
sir. How did you find the Island? It
seems like it's hard for me to use a
map, I'll use my phone to
find it, maybe we don't have it anymore,
sir. We've already memorized
these islands. Yes, we know that we're still small. We
know that. Yes, because our parents tell us stories. The
Badiaos are known for
ocean. But when it comes to education,
it seems like they're falling behind.
The Bajos
have the lowest basic literacy in the
entire country. It's estimated that only one in
write. Joe
has the highest education.
What grade and what level did
you finish? What did you finish? Fourth year, fourth
year. You reached fourth year. That's
all I got there. Sir. I didn't
finish it because I felt sorry for
my parents. Because we were struggling so much
that I didn't continue. I don't have an
expensive phone. Also because of
his ability to write and read.
Joe was appointed as the second
stage, but what about the next one?
generation in their secluded
paradise right now because there is no school
on the island what we want to happen is that there is an
island here so that
our children can be tolerant sir how many
children do you have now there are already 9 of them
all they have not been able to study
one is my eldest they studied
grade 1 that was before
we were in the whole then when you moved here they
not once a non-government organization built a small
school on the stage
but due to
lack of support they were forced to
close this was your classroom before
or what it is not really being used it is
not really being used years have passed before
this was used about a year too much has
passed That's what was taught here before
basa sulat basa sulat what are the
ABCDs bakada that was taught before [Music]

community the class has a deeper meaning the

soldiers are held as part of their civilian military

the Mar mun who are stationed on the stage
community for Those who live on the island
closer to
Saba have a deeper meaning. The soldiers
taught them basic
readings. Our goal is to
teach them the national song of our
chosen land, sir, so that
at least they can understand it and feel
that they are still Filipinos. 6 7
10 Salam
alikum. Joe introduced me to his
neighbors. Why did you come here? It's
time for COVID, they
say, because of COVID. They say that the poor
have COVID in the country. They say that those who are
looking for a living on the high seas can't buy anything. Don't you
miss the schools and
that? They also miss the
schools and hospitals.
That's the only reason why they are there. They
don't really look for a life. The
poor there are really looking for a life. What about the one on
your face? What is
this? That's what we call borax. It's
not painful. What's wrong with it? Where did it come from? It's
good because it's made of
solder. It was down.
Eating guava on the beach. What?
rice mix it ah only women

Philippines, they conducted a large-scale
geodetic survey or initial mapping of
our archipelago in [Music]
[Music] 1901,
1901,
[Music],
the number later became 7,107, and this
became the official number for a long
time, but in
2016, many were surprised when
the number suddenly changed, the Philippines is said to be made up of
7641 Islands
but more than improving our
maps It is more important to see and
hear the stories of the people

How can
those living
in remote
islands be given enough attention and opportunities? The local government is gradually strengthening
their services
and facilities. Their priority now is
health. It's really difficult.
difficult.
The patient's illness should go
to Bungga. Not all of our
patients can afford it. If
we build this hospital first, it's
not a bit. Maybe there will be a problem
with health, but they
also say that the low birth registration is a big challenge for them,
particularly among the
bw group. Some of
our countrymen only register when it's
necessary for
their children to study. For example,
those who haven't
studied or haven't studied at all.
They don't
understand what the
benefits of just holding a birth certificate are. They
certificate are. They
also face
great danger. They can become
stateless or lose their state. As
Filipinos or any nationality,
their lifestyle is itinerant.
areas, explained social mobilizer
Emran, the risk of
statelessness increases if successive
generations do not register.
As our surveys say, why do
we still give birth?
Our grandparents did not have any, and there is still a race of
statelessness though. They still have a link
to the Philippines, they are here in the
Philippines. But because of
their continuous practice of not having a birth
certificate, they can become
stateless because they do not have a strong
identification. They are not registered in the
Philippines. But B In addition to explaining
the importance of birth
registration, it should also
support the livelihoods of those in remote
remote
communities. It is also very difficult to
think about how
they will earn money in this area because they are far from
each other. The
islands are small. When it comes to the project,
sustainability is a big question.
If we give this to them, that's why we are doing it.
