00:00How many youths have we met walking in a part of Tondo?
00:20Some have hammers and planks. They went straight to a trap in their place.
00:30This is where we met 10-year-old Uno. He doesn't have a real name.
00:43Their job here is to collect wood from the burnt houses in their community.
00:49They collect the burnt wood one by one.
00:54They are afraid that someone might become a terrorist and sell the wood.
01:14What do you do with the wood?
01:16I collect it and sell it.
01:19Where do you get the wood?
01:21At the end.
01:22What do you have at the end?
01:24Wood. We have a lot of wood.
01:35Aside from collecting wood, Uno is also involved in collecting plastic.
01:43What do you buy?
01:46Rice.
01:48Why do you buy rice?
01:50I'm hungry.
01:51Don't you have rice?
01:54I'm hungry every day.
01:56What kind of food do you make?
01:59Soy sauce.
02:01That's all?
02:03What else?
02:05That's all.
02:07Do you just add soy sauce to the rice?
02:10I add salt to the oil.
02:13Oil?
02:15What do you add to the oil?
02:18I mix it.
02:20Where do you mix it?
02:21Here.
02:23And then?
02:25That's all.
02:27What grade are you in?
02:29Grade 3.
02:30Are you studying now?
02:32No.
02:33Why aren't you studying?
02:36I lost it.
02:38What did you lose?
02:40My birth certificate.
02:41You lost your birth certificate?
02:43What if you lost your birth certificate?
02:47I need it.
02:49You need it for what?
02:51For school.
02:52Why didn't you get a new one?
02:55It's expensive.
02:58The money he earns is used to buy basic necessities for his family.
03:08You have 50 pesos in your pocket and 10 pesos in your pocket.
03:12What do you do with that 60 pesos?
03:15I buy rice.
03:18Why? Is it for your mom and dad?
03:22No.
03:24What does your mom do?
03:27She works.
03:29What does your dad do?
03:32He works.
03:34Oh, he works.
03:36And you take care of the rice?
03:41If Uno is studying now, he should be in grade 4.
03:46Do you want to study?
03:48Why do you want to study?
03:50So I can learn how to read.
03:52So you can learn how to read.
03:54Don't you know how to read?
03:57You don't?
03:59What do you know?
04:00You know A, B, C.
04:02But you're already in grade 3.
04:05What math do you know?
04:07Not really.
04:09Not really?
04:10What about 1 plus 1?
04:12You know that?
04:13Yes.
04:141 plus 1?
04:152 plus 2?
04:174 plus 4?
04:198.
04:20You know that.
04:215 plus 5?
04:2210.
04:23Who knows?
04:30After less than an hour of picking potatoes,
04:34Uno went straight to the junk shop to sell them.
04:53How much for 1 kilo? 8 pesos? 16 pesos too.
05:14Yes, 16.
05:1520, 30.
05:16I'll just do 33 because I don't have 16 pesos.
05:22Uno earns up to 60 pesos.
05:25That's enough to buy rice.
