Have you ever experienced going to fishing using a net in the middle of the sea? If yes, then you are awesome! It so hard of doing this kind of task daily! In our Barangay fishing is one of the most common source of income coz we are near at coastal area.
Fishermen uses a fish net, a fishing hook tied with nylons without a rod thos are the basic tool fishermen uses when they go fishing. They usually go fishing 1 to 2 times a day (days and nights). Looking for a fish in the middle of nowhere in the sea without any gadget or technology to be used to find a group of fish is sometimes frostrating specially if you don't catches any fish or may be you got but a little. Going home with out any fish to sold makes me feel sad for we can't buy for a food for one day, it's good if you have stock of foods to eat if no then time to borrow money to the neighbourhood in exchange of fish sometimes with an interest. So cruel. Poverty comes out for real.
I saw my "bayaw" a husband of my cousin and his son cleaning the fish net near the bay.
I go and approach them and ask if they get a bunch of fish and said, "waray, sakto la nga naka sura-sura" with a smile😊. Means, "nothing, just enough for us to eat" saying with a smile😊. Even without fishes to sold for they can still manage to smile. That is one of the characteristics of us Filipinos, we smile despite of insufficiency we encounter in our daily lives and thats make me so proud of it.
Thats all for now, see ya later😊. Thank you again for your time reading this article📖.
Stay safe, stay at home!
God bless...
