Set the alarm for 5:20 a.m.

Web alarm clock for 5:20 a.m.

As you hand the fish-stall opening to the next person after the boats are unloaded, set the 5:20 am alarm for the exact moment they need to take over. It gives the handover a clear marker while the catch, ice, and work area are being sorted. By 6:00 am, the stall can be ready for the first market customers without anyone relying on a hurried verbal reminder.

Before you pass responsibility across, check that the alarm appears as active and leave the browser running. If you close the tab or browser, or let the phone sleep, the alarm may not sound, which could delay the fish-stall opening after unloading. Keep the screen awake and the page available until 5:20 am; for a handover where you will walk away, add a separate phone alarm as a backup.

While the next worker arranges the fish at this early hour, the damp air near a Philippine landing area can leave trays, handles, and screens slick. Keep the phone somewhere dry but audible, away from splashes and melting ice, and wipe your hands before silencing it. A spot with moving outdoor air may feel less close, yet the alarm should remain sheltered so humidity does not turn a quick tap at 5:20 am into fumbling during the changeover.
