Listen "Malapascua Island fishing village"
Episode Synopsis
As dawn stretches gently over the bay, the village stirs to life. The soft clatter of fishermen preparing their lines mingles with the playful clinks of children spinning an old bicycle wheel with a bamboo stick — a game as timeless as the tide. Nearby, the metallic hum of the village well echoes through the dusty sand alley, as barefoot kids dash beneath the waking sun. Roosters, curiously late, call out as if surprised by a world already in motion.
This is the soundscape of a quiet coastal village in the Philippines — a delicate braid of labour, laughter, and nature — where time unfolds not in hours, but in tides and tradition.
