NBI Agents
The National Bureau of Investigation or NBI, the Filipino version of the American FBI, is home to one of the Philippines’ most elite crime-fighting teams. Within the NBI, the anti-narcotics division is known to be the most dangerous with the highest death rate amongst agents. Raids on drug syndicates often result in violent gunfights as drug syndicates are highly armed with assault weapons. With only a bulletproof vest to protect them, the NBI agents put their lives on the line in pursuit of these hardened criminals.

Compressor Divers
The Badjao people of Bohol Philippines have always depended on the ocean for their livelihood. The pressures of living in today’s world have forced them to take drastic measures to improve their daily catch. Armed with just a spear, they dive into depths of over 20m for bigger and more fish. Their homemade air supply system: a second-hand air con compressor that pumps air through an extended garden hose they grip between their teeth. These compressor divers risk decompression, paralysis, and death to provide for their families - a task for “Break-Neck Business”.
