"What are you doing?".
"Doing some codes, do you know how programming works?."
"On pearls?"
"Thats right... pearls embedded with technology.".
"For what?".
"Augmented reality. Modern augmented reality. I create something on this code and embedded it on our national treasure Pearl. Then with the use of phone, guess what.".
Then he took his phone and what comes next is an augmented reality design. On it there appears a hovering text filled with lots of colours saying "Congratulations, you earn 50 peso on digital bank.".
"See that, by using augmented reality and mobile banking. Using pearls I could generate sales out of it. Imagine it being use abroad. How much would a certain pearl will cost.".
At that moment the guy then did start to think.
"Try to look at this one.".
He took the pearl and he scanned it with his phone then what comes next is an animated design of a phoenix hovering on his mobile phone.
"You have a smart glasses?"
Then the guy did nodded. He took it and he start to use it. Then on his smart glasses a hovering phoenix did appear.
"Like it?".
Then the guy nodded.
"Even the kids will like this thing. Such thing is called technology. As you see we are abundant on pearls. The governor wants us to conduct a study of a potential market abroad. So with this, i could probably earn 50 peso to 100 on one pearl."
"I dont think they will approve such thing. Unless you make it as a bracelet.".

While the students are doing their so called mobile application subject. Where in they are practicing the intents of the government. The local governor is now headed to the so called kelp laboratory. The ďried kelp is about to be exporters abroad, the target destination is USA. For some reasons, kelp industry have given them an abundant sales. Which is directly send on their governments vault. The great thing after they achieved independence. They ate no longer sending their income to the national government and instead it was immediately being use on their infrastructural projects. The governor and his mates are now checking the dried kelp factory.
"What are the use of kelp?".
"They are often use by the culinary department on either drinks or food. It is a good industry. With it we are sending lots of cargo to the states.". Said by the governor.
Then he starts to discuss how they usually grow kelp.
"The sea weeds on the bottom of the ocean is a good source of our economy. We only need to nurture them and harvest them every 4 to 6 months. The change of season means harvest for us. Not only we grow kelp but we also could get abalone which is also a good source of income. This is the reason why I love the current government. We governors are free to manage our own resources. This time we will send another shipment to the states. I wonder how much are we going to earn this time".
On their front, are the professional scuba diver, it was like jeju island harvesting their kelp drying it under the bask of the hot scorching sun. Professionals divers with tight black uniforms and snorkels on their head. Trained to nurture and take care of the kelps.
"The island governor is here. Everyone please greet him".
"Good work everyone, thank you for your help and contribution to our government. With your help, this islands next project will be created. In return for your service on mandatory government act, your dependents will be supported on their educational careers. Rest assured sirs and madams, we will nurture them as professionals on states.".
One old woman then did started to talk. "Governor, we are hoping that you all could give us some help on our medical needs.".
The governor then did laugh and he said "Ofcourse ajuma, why would I not help you with your medical needs. You diving underwater is my great concern.".
Then all of the old divers did laugh. It is a happy community where in everyone are helping each other hands in hands. Thanks to the independence of every states, the allocation of taxes and projects are preserved only to their island. Unknown to them, a great boost of sea creature is about to unfold, a much more expensive one hidden under the kelp of the island, beneath the sea ground floor, the once lost reefs are being rejuvenated. Corals of different kind has come to life, hidden by the kelp and sea weeds of the ocean.
