14th Anniversary Special
“BUWIS BUHAY, BAGONG BUHAY”
Dokumentaryo ni Kara David
October 28, 2013 • 11:30 PM
A mother in the forests of Agusan del Sur patiently waits for her delivery. Because of their meager resources and lack of access to a clinic or hospital, Marina Catanao has decided to give birth at home, in the far barangay of Mahagsay. The hard-working mother goes on with her day as usual… oblivious of the dangers of her fifth pregnancy.
Nene Precioso is determined to bring Marina to the town clinic of San Luis. As first midwife of their pre-colonial Banwaon tribe, she wants to avoid losing their women due to death during childbirth. Some lives have been claimed by the unforgiving rough road to town. Here, a woman in delivery has both feet in the grave. Will Marina take a chance on this road?
“Buwis Buhay, Bagong Buhay” is Kara David’s documentary for the 14th anniversary of I-Witness. It is the first instalment of the four-part documentary series by Sandra Aguinaldo, Howie Severino, Jay Taruc and Kara David, all answering the question: For what are you willing to risk your life? The documentary will air this Monday, October 28, after Saksi.

Filipino version
Sa Brgy. Mahagsay, sa mga gubat ng Agusan del Sur, may isang ina na naghihintay ng kanyang kabuwanan. Dahil nagtitipid at malayo mula sa klinika at ospital, balak manganak ni Marina Catanao sa kanilang kubo. Isang masipag na ilaw ng tahanan, patuloy lang siya sa kanyang mga gawain… hindi niya batid ang panganib ng kanyang ikalimang pagbubuntis.
Determinado naman si Nene Precioso na dalhin si Marina sa bayan ng San Luis upang doon manganak sa klinika. Bilang kauna-unahang midwife ng mga katutubong Banwaon, iniiwasan niya ang pagkamatay ng mga buntis ng tribo. Sa layo at liblib ng kanilang barangay, may mga hindi pinalad sa panganganak. Sa kanilang maputik at matagtag na daan, hindi lang isang paa ng pasyenteng buntis ang nasa hukay. Itataya ba ni Marina ang kanyang buhay sa mapanganib na daan?
Ang “Buwis Buhay, Bagong Buhay” ay isang dokumentaryo ni Kara David para sa ika-14 na anibersaryo ng I-Witness. Ito ang una sa apat na serye ng dokumentaryo nila Sandra Aguinaldo, Howie Severino, Jay Taruc at Kara David na sumasagot sa tanong: Para saan mo itataya ang iyong buhay? Mapapanood ito ngayong October 28, Lunes, pagkatapos ng Saksi.
