LEGAZPI, Albay — This year, it will be a decade since Marites Pauig began hunting for wild honey, a livelihood she learned in order to support her family as a single parent.
“Honey-hunting is actually my brother-in-law’s livelihood during summer,” said the 48-year-old Dumagat-Remontado of Rizal province in a phone interview.
She joined her brother-in-law’s group for her seven children, the youngest of whom has not reached 10 years of age.
