The merboys: treasure divers of Matnog
Los jóvenes y sus raíces: ¿cómo es nacer o crecer como miembro de la diáspora; cómo pueden los jóvenes conectar con su tierra natal?
This is a familiar scenery when traveling from one island to another in the Philippines. Young Filipino boys, and sometimes young girls, jump in for coins. This is done before the passenger ferry leaves the port. Some young people jump into the water from bangkas (boats) to collect coins scattered by passengers. These boys compete against each other to acquire and obtain the coins. It's not an easy feat and quite dangerous if you're a skilled swimmer. It may be a form of entertainment for us tourists, but for these young lads, this means livelihood and food money for their families.
