On one weekend of January, TIPSters Alaric Yanos, Dr. Edwin Antonio and Bryan Rapadas went on a photoshoot in the town of Burgos, Ilocos Norte. They went early in the morning to catch a glimpse of the activities of the gamet pickers in the barangay of Saoit.
Upon arrival at the area they were awed by the wonderful sight, the beach area, cave and the corals. They saw just a few groups of people gathering some black seaweeds or locally called the gamet.Gamet is a priced seasweed that’s only collected in the season of November to February. Picking is painstakingly done with the use of their hands covered with socks or net to avoid bruising the fingers. Pickers are always at risk of falling on the rocks because they have to run against the waves.
