“Dangerous playground”
Unknown to many, some 2.1 million Filipino children below the age of 15 are forced to work on the streets and take odd jobs to earn a living for their families. Behind the smiles and innocent happiness, these children have to bear the everyday challenge of harsh living in an environment they’ve grown to know as their playground.

In a small town of Guimaos in Paracale, Bicol, south of Manila, the high-noon sun has become a friend to 10-year-old Aiza and her younger sister Angeline. Together, they spend hours paneling in the murky water field in what seems to be a treasure hunting game for them. They have to find gold in order to have something to eat for the day.

Many children like Aiza and Angeline do not mind the heat and long hours of field work in search of gold. Unaware of the hazardous environment they are exposed, children see gold mines as their playing field.

Aging is a fact of life but aging poor is a problem for a number of people. For some, growing old is their fate but for others, it is almost synonymous to being cursed.

“Herbal Healers”
While the headline still screams “global warming”, Mother Nature is still forgiving. It still gives what our body, and yes, even what our soul needs. For Filipinos, what better way to trace her kindness but to visit childhood memories punctuated with a few visits to the local herbal doctor (albularyo) when one is sick. A gentle touch therapy (hilot), sometimes quick sorcery, and before the session ends a bitter concoction will surely be prescribed. Sadly, this scene is not so common anymore as one would rather go to medical professionals and let science take its course.

The documentary highlights the raw materials found in Herbal healing and touch on it as a dying art focusing on the lives of the “albularyos” (herbal doctors) their craft, merchandise, and the countless gratitude from those who were healed. [Request video]
