Hard and dangerous but fair!


Eastern Samar is at the margin of the largest ocean in the world, the Pacific Ocean. Because of this unique location, the province is still rich in marine resources. Fishing is thus the means of living of the majority of Estehanons. Many friends and relatives of mine told me that they travel with their subiran (small boat without motor) many kilometers into the open sea to have a good catch. It is hard and very dangerous but they told me they also enjoy their work. At least, there is no pollution, no boss, and above all, it is fair out there!

I think it is scary out there. These fishermen are very courageous and skilful. I read from the news that some of them are lost and are never able to return to their families.
