What is the meaning of life for them? To those who expect to earn less than a quarter of a thousand per month? Yesterday I did another set of interviews with my research participants. I am trying to examine the effects of the labor culture of Palaw'an in education. What I found out? Life is unfair for them. Food is scarce and even public education appears to be so expensive that they could not afford. High school graduation is a thing they could be proud of. What is life for them? It is food. It is survival.
