"Pakiramdam": Notes about the photo by Mary Jocelyn L. Tarnate

The tides intertwine with the daily existence of the people of Batasan Island in Tubigon, Bohol. Growing up, they have been taught the value of understanding sunrise, sunsets, the sea and the moon.

In this photo, taken in May 2012, the children, Ayeng, Kim-Kim and Fritz, accompanied by veteran fisher, Arnel, watch the waves closely to check if it is safe to dive into the waters off the reef of Kanjaru in Batasan.

Although the sea gives them life, they are also aware of other things the sea might bring.
