The Badjao, also known as sea gypsies, are one of the earliest people to venture in Zamboanga Peninsula, South of Philippines. Renowned for their fishing skills, they have traditionally lived a seafaring lifestyle, relying on fishing for their livelihood. Here you will see a Badjao vendor, an elderly woman, slowly wading through shallow waters with a rich assortment of sea shells and seaweed for sale. This scene reflects their deep connection to the sea, a central aspect of their culture and way of life.
