ROLES The first part of the interview is about the roles of the women fisher folks which tackles different issues such the nature of their work, the importance of water in their lives, and the impact of COVID-19 in their family. Nearby Body of Water in their place There is a diverse response on where the women fisher folks live nearby. However, majority (53%) of them are living close to the sea shore. While, a few (20%) of them are living both close to the sea shore and the river. Likewise, a few (13%) of them also are living close to the river. Moreover, very few (7%) are living close to the sea shore, the river and the fishpond and with the same percentage of 7 preferred not to answer. This indicates that women fisher folks are living near the area of their work and those who lives close to the sea shore are commonly those whose husband or children are both fishermen. Meanwhile, those who live close to the river are usually women fisher folks who gathered mussels. Although, almost all of the women fisher folks of Barangay Samara are selling fish either in the market or through house to house selling. In addition, based on the interview conducted it was found out that all or 100% of them are into fishing. This can be an indication that the women fisher folks in Samara are not just vendors but they also go to the sea or river to catch fish. 6 | Page
