00:00We're here at Hagonoy, Bulacan!
00:13Let's go, mga kawander!
00:15Alright!
00:16Empoy thought that they're just going to fish on a boat.
00:19Wrong, wrong!
00:20Because...
00:21They're going to fillet a fish!
00:25This is my first time to fillet a fish.
00:28In English, this is my first sunfish.
00:37Hey, mga kawander!
00:38We're here at the fish filleting area
00:41where we're going to interview Kuya Juanito.
00:45Kuya Juanito, can you tell us about the first process of filleting a fish?
00:57We buy the fish from the sea.
00:59We put it in the cooler
01:01and then we salt it with salt.
01:05It takes 12 to 15 hours before we fillet it.
01:09The sun is already hot.
01:13Once the fish is cleaned,
01:14it will be directly salted while it's in the ice
01:17or what they call, salting.
01:20From the sea,
01:24the bones and small intestines are already gone?
01:30No, because it's already clean.
01:32It just came from the sea.
01:33That's why it's already directly salted.
01:37After 20 hours,
01:39the fish will be carefully salted
01:41in a very wide row made of bamboo.
01:45It's good to fillet it.
01:47You have to line it up.
01:50You have to fillet it until it's full.
01:59You've been doing this for a long time.
02:01Have you ever met a fish before?
02:05It's my first time filleting a fish in my life.
02:09When I was a child,
02:16I can't say that their job is not easy for me
02:20because it's very busy.
02:24We have to fillet the fish one by one.
02:31We've been doing this for 17 to 15 years.
02:35Since I was in elementary school until now,
02:38I'm 25 years old.
02:40This is what we're looking for.
02:43After filleting the fish,
02:45the dried fish will be removed,
02:47placed in a jar,
02:49and carefully placed in a box
02:51to be delivered to the market.
02:54Their hard work is worth it.
02:57We were able to support them
02:59and buy their products.
