A very short habal-habal ride to the boat station and another one-hour boat ride to Biri Island were all that’s left of the trip to the island’s famous gigantic rock sculptures – the artwork that the sea waves and surges patiently sculpted over time. We needed to do first things first, though. First, we had to see and experience for ourselves this ocean “farming”. You see, the Management Association of the Philippines has a project that helps marginalized entrepreneurs, a sort of inclusive growth advocacy – in action – by way of funding and mentorship.
