Respondent A Like her, most of the women are engaged in similar activities. Housework, mothering, helping the children with their modules, and selling fish to neighbors when there is extra fish for selling take up much of their time. Some would process the kamote they have harvested or bought into kakanins or snacks and sell them. Everyday, our women are busy being mothers, wives, and occasional sellers of fish and snacks. On top of these, most women help their husbands prepare for the day, send them off to the sea, and surrender them to an uncertain fate. When the children are tended to, they can finally have time to go to the seaweeds farm to work again. Saturdays are often laundry days, and Sundays are for prayer, rest and Mass, and yes, assisting their children with their modules. Assuming that the seaweeds have not been wiped out by the typhoons, the community is expecting to harvest seaweeds by late December or January of next year. Most of the women who work at the seaweeds farm have grown children already. Those whose children are still small, go to the seaweeds farm less frequently. Usually, the younger women tend to join their husbands occasionally in fishing. The older women used to do this when they were younger. Now they focus on raising crops in the hills, cooking and cleaning house, and taking care of their grandchildren. Are your husband, son or daughter into fishing? What do they do? How much do they earn in a day? Most women, especially whose husbands are in their twenties to their early 50’s and whose children are still toddlers up to being in their elementary years of schooling, said their husbands are the only ones into heavy deep water fishing. One woman whose husband is elderly said her husband is employed as a bangus feeder at a bangus farm/ fish pen nearby, earning 9,000 a month. The rest of the husbands earn between 300 to 500 a day especially those who have their own boats. There are some husbands who earn only between 150 to 200 a day, as they only join their fellow fishermen who have boats. And if they cannot sail, they have to content themselves with catching fish in shallow waters.
