To children living in Latag, Nasugbu, Batangas, going to school means facing risks daily.
They begin their three-hour trek to school at 3 AM. They cross rivers and ravines barefoot, as the mud can sometimes be too deep.
Elsa is in grade 10. She and her sister, who is in fifth grade, join 100 other students who walk to school every day. During rainy seasons, the children have to cross a bridge that is close to collapsing. They keep their school uniforms in their backpacks and find ways to change into them when they near their school.
In this report, Investigative Documentaries finds out why going to school has become a life-threatening activity in this small community, and why the local government has not provided them a safer option to get to school.
