Summary:

Bayani, his family, and a kitten named Splish live under a bridge in the slums of Manila. The family collects recyclables in the city dump; they earn two or three dollars a day, just enough to buy food and, this day, a notebook for Bayani's sister, Dancia. The family can afford to send just one of their four children to school; Dancia is their hope for the future.
