No roads. No electricity. No hospital. No jobs. Not even a cell phone signal.

This is Purok Canumay in Baranggay San Jose, Antipolo, a place far from modern civilization even if it’s just a mere 25 kilometers away from Metro Manila.

The roads here are rugged and muddy. There are no hospitals within the area so the sick have to be carried on a makeshift cradle to a hospital all the way to the other side of town.

Their school only has 3 classrooms, mixing up students belonging to different grade levels. The jobless residents, desperate to earn cash, are forced to cut down the trees in the forest and sell them.

When President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III lays out all his plans for the country in his State of the Nation Address, the people of Canumay won’t be able to watch him. But they do hope that the president's promise of a road to change will pass by their poor community.

Join Jeff Canoy as he exposes all the problems of this undeveloped town in his first stint in “The Correspondents,” this Tuesday (July 27) on ABS-CBN.
