What I am doing is a crab catcher. The problem is our place is set to be demolished.
Hence, we do not have other means, we only do fishing here in the river.
If we will be evicted, it means destitution. We have no other recourses because the plan of the government is to clear the river here.
Many of us will be evicted. We will be relocated to Lanit, in Leganes.
What will we do there? There is no sea in the said area.
Hence we have to stay here for the mean time until our houses are set to be demolished.
We have no one to lean on.
For me, I have lots of friends who are also pensioners like me.
Whatever good solution that our pensions will be increased,
we will seek for those who lobby for the increase of pension.
I work before in a [commercial] fishing boat.
My salary is not enough because it's only forty-five pesos a month.
Later on, I've decide to work in a ship, as a *** in Negros Navigation.
It is where I started my job, but my salary is minimum, Php 195 a month,
year 1963 before I get married here at [Molo] Boulevard.
My wife is Nenita Yulo, who also grew up here.
And I left my job in a [commercial] fishing and decided to work in a ship.
And with God's benevolence, I was hired as a utility ***.
When I retired in the ship, I got a meager pension.
The best thing to happen, if somebody could help us.
My pension is meager despite the fact that we're poor, prices of all commodities increased.
I am trying to pursue if possible we could get help from Bayan Muna.
And I can also tell my co-pensioners that Bayan Muna can help us on how we could increase our pensions.
