The documentary focuses on Kuya Noel, a fisher, so-called “Mangunguryente,” (electric fishing) in barangay Biclat, located in San Miguel, Bulacan. Kuya Noel uses an inverter machine and rod in electric fishing. He comes along daily with his brother, but they often separate ways and gather more (Fish, Eel, and frogs). The documentary will show his everyday life in their home with his family, how they do “pangunguryente,” and how they sustain and survive just doing “pangunguryente” to earn their living, knowing that not all the time there is always plenty catch and sometimes none, knowing that this kind of activity is illegal.
