Payatas Manila (Poverty in the Philippines, the Consumption of PAGPAG) People Documentary Series

[@TheHungrySyrianWanderer]

Im Syrian living in the Philippines for 5 years now. I feel bad seeing people suffer from poverty. God bless them.

@Manzoor Hekmatyar they are poor

[@itsrealooks395]

@@xyrylladacureg9279 Girl, look at yourself. You look like a trash

[@itsrealooks395]

@Manzoor Hekmatyar whoever you are. You're way more disgusting. You shouldn't paint a picture with one culture. Everyone is different. Doesn't mean you met one Filipino with a disgusting attitude you'll conclude that everyone is the same.

[@jananonlertvilai9212]

Wow!! That's so sad BUT!!! Why I saw too many Filipino comments about their's country are better than every country on world???

[@tadzsebastian3094]

Manzoor Hekmatyar as what I saw and red it is you who are what you said, you know the word projection? It really defines your personality,

[@christinelarano3818]

Documentary is an eye opener. This is not a charity program. Giving them money or food is not obliged for any journalist or documentarist. But showing the true story with good intentions of the documentarist is enough to give them some pride and hope in what they are doing.

[@PHlophe]

I feel like documentaries like these , should never been told from the mouth of the reporters . I can't .. these people should narrate their own stories and struggle and be front and centre.

[@christinelarano3818]

But not all people can talk and explain their situation in front of a camera.

[@CoverstudioPH]

Lumaki ako sa Payatas. About 100m yung lapit namin dun sa Smoky Mountain. Back in 2000s, sobrang saya kong lumaki sa lugar na yan, never kong naisip na kawawa kami, believe me, kapag lumaki ka sa payatas, you will be sharp, hinding hindi ka maloloko ng tao, kahit anong hirap, wala lang sa'yo, and once you experience a little convenience, you value it, a small amount of money ay pinapahalagahan mo. When I was a kid, never ako naawa sa kalagayan namin. Not until I go to college. College life killed my confidence, I realized how poor we are. Yun din siguro yung dahilan ng mga kababata ko kaya yung iba hindi na lumabas sa comfort zone nila. Kaya marami sa mga tagapayatas ay hindi na nangarap ng mataas. Kasi konting ginhawa lang, masaya na sila. Sa tingin ko maganda yun pero sayang. Sana magkaroon ng program samin na mag-encourage sa mga kabataan mangarap. Don't just give donations, hindi sila matuto niyan. By the way, I enjoy watching this video.

[@Wil_Dasovich]

quality stuff brotha!

[@featrmedia]

Thanks Wil

[@Crosshairstv]

+Erwan Heussaff Much respect to you for being a voice for the voiceless. It takes courage and belief to tread on subjects that many would much rather turn a blind eye to. Writing to you from the US, yes you have a far reaching audience, and really would appreciate your thoughts on docos such as "Earthlings", "Cowspiracy" and "Forks Over Knives". Great work and keep it up!

[@therac2770]

you are starting to make a difference here erwan..

[@CHUCKLINGCHAMPORADO]

What a useful way to use your celebrity status to create awareness!!!

[@thelmacrews3051]

This makes me sad. 😢

[@alfiecanta6723]

Be the voice of the voiceless. Good job erwan. That's why I dont regret why I subscribed your channel. Going there is not easy, you might get sick because of the surroundings but you chose to go and documented the area.

[@joelmorados]

Erwan just earned my respect to be there and see things real time is brave considering your social status. More videos of these please.

[@si.jr8516]

Watching this short video, I feel like these people are stronger then the people living in the America or other countries with normal lives... Lord please forgive me if im not great full for what I have.. GOD bless the poor.

[@zihyehan1874]

You're a brave soul, man! Thank you for exploring this side of the world and sharing with us!

[@killerpawn]

A very heart wrenching video. I grew up with abundance of food at the table (I am classified as obese but currently working on it). Slept in air-conditioned room almost everyday (we had times we just settle for electric fan due to rising electric bill costs) and studied in a prestigious school up until college (I don't know how my parents paid for it but know we are deep in debt that time). Yes, these issues are very open and rampant in my academic years but after that...I turned a blind eye because I was also dealing problems of my own, not knowing that their problems are like ten or hundred folds of what I am experiencing right now.

[@triplevhome]

Eye opener for us all and be thankful of what we have.. Bless u Erwan.

[@bunnysandico8511]

You have a gift erwan. I hope you continue to shine the light on issues like these...

[@arnoldsandiego4213]

Thanks Erwan for this documentary. I have 2 kids born in the US and I showed this to them so they will appreciate what they have and not take things for granted. I really appreciate it.

[@paolomendoza3590]

i was crying while watching this documentary. I wish officials from the government would not just mention of supporting the poor but take action and use their power to liberate these people from poverty

[@jazmineco3174]

I have been experiences living in payatas for 2 mos. and I must say that, those 2mos of my life was the best part of me. when you live there you won't hear any judgemental or degrading from other people cause they are all fair to each other. There I see the bigger picture of life. that I never seen. There I realize how important education is. Living there is simple and wonderful I must say, cause you dont have to think of what phone you need just to feel belong. If you get me. I really love that place caus that taught me a lot that what I am now, it's because people there made me realize a lot of things.

[@grasshopper1988]

Jassmin Co sorry but I find what you say hard to believe all you did is summarize the video in words.

[@user-yd6qc6sk6k]

You are lying .lol

[@kelmanni6103]

This place is neither fitted for human dwellng nor even in making a living,, so let's rather help them find ways to leave that miserable place than showing them any sign of our approval to their justifications of keeping themselves there.If wild animals can survive in the jungle simply with the gifts of nature, how much more to man who was gifted with a superior mind.

[@CarmenG27]

Good job for doing this, such an extra mile for filipinos.i really hope change will someday come to their lives. Thanks Erwan for showing this and making us realize how lucky we are. I hope many of public figures like you could do this to solidify this movement against poverty and also from our fellow citizens. This made me more excited for our charity event this coming Nov 24 for the homeless and abandoned children in San Juan. Kudos to you!

[@vdotc]

Right on Erwan, Thanks for shining the light. I'm happy to be present and follow you through your growth

[@raisacarr893]

Im so happy you made this video for the world to see...I hope our new government finds solutions to combat these issues. I hope to see more videos like this. Good job Erwan.

[@trulyblessed5236]

i 1000% agree when he said that these women are courageous, life is so hard for them yet they choose to live and fight... i also appreciate manang when she said they are still alive because of God's grace, she still have faith after all... and still managed to express her utmost gratitude to God. God bless them, God bless you too Erwan

[@visayanpeep2240]

I somehow disagree kay ate Josie because based on my pov, living in provincial areas is a better option than living in Payatas. First of all, they can plant crops and other kinds of vegetables for them to eat, also, there are public schools den naman sa province eh, instead of Payatas na pinagtityagaan nila yung pagpag baka magkasakit pa sila...God bless these people.

[@NIGHTMARE-hv2vu]

Sa province mas maayus ang buhay magtanim kalang ng mga food crops makaka survived ka. Bonus if may mga puno ng mga namumungang prutas like Indian Mango, and buko Bayabas, papaya sama mo pa Saging.

[@Jennifer-vs1zq]

Here in Payatas, so many people are poor, but sometimes they forget that they are poor, they enjoy life as well.. Good job sir erwan.

[@angeleyes5071]

This video humbles me a million folds... God bless the Philippines.

[@audreydl4487]

It broke my heart watching this😰😰😪 Thanks Erwan for making this video..a lot of people are complaining about their life and jobs but look at those people who are struggling to make a living..

[@atomkuneho]

wow erwhan this is something really moving. you are one of the respected vlogger i follow and always excited if you release new video. you only not tackle about food, travel, landscape, and now here it is.. keep it up and good luck bro. two thumbs up!

[@actuallyrussell8945]

it is nice that you make this kind of videos from time to time since you influence people in a positive way, you bring awareness not only to the Filipino people but also to everyone who watch your content, you could be their voice and seek help so that NGO's and charity organizations could reach and help the poorest of the poor of metro manila.

[@jpe09]

Such an underrated piece, Sir. I had to stop the videos halfway just to stop myself for almost crying. It's just plain sad.

[@thekarenator840]

One problem that can be solved is educating these folks about birth control. It's not logical to bring a human into a world that you cannot support. Start there and that will make a difference.

[@kaiminamoto]

Exactly! However, most Filipinos don't have a mind of their own. They just follow whatever the church instructs them to do - like puppets. If you can't even feed yourself, why bring a child into this forsaken world?

[@kaiminamoto]

ii Cherry Bigotry? Obviously, you are referring to yourself, right? Philippines is full of bigots. It doesn't take rocket science to figure out what's wrong with the country. The major cause of poverty in the Philippines is overpopulation compounded by ignorance and massive corruption. Just imagine if the population is 10 million instead of 103 million. Jobs wouldn't be so much of a problem, right? I also noticed that most Filipinos are in complete denial of their situation and have the audacity to blame the government for all of their misfortune. Hungry and no job? Why bring a bunch of children into this world then? The ignorance that the poor Filipino possess astounds me.

[@benjinyc]

Thanks for putting this together, Erwan. I just moved from 25 years living in the excess world of New York City to Jakarta/Bandung in Indonesia, and this documentary is so hard to watch because the issue is so real and often times ignored due to the sheer overwhelming "real-ness" of it all that most of us just feel helpless to feel that we can make a difference. However, my problems ARE NOTHING compared to what these people face everyday. Thank you Erwan -- I am inspired.

[@JohnnySantoDomingo]

Visited PI a month ago for the first time and decided to move there for my creative goals. After watching this, I'm now making it another goal to find ways to help the less fortunate to create jobs or even just making someone smile with a joke. Thanks for this video.

[@msjinabina]

This is actually more common than thought and occurs all over the world. Its a good reminder of how fortunate we are and how we need to help each other. Thank you.

I'm happy you shed a light to these issues. I studied pagpag and its effect on a childs nutritional status back in college and it sure was an eye opening research. I hope the new government finds a way to combat these issues!!!

[@marianegamayao5605]

This matters. Thanks for sharing. It's important to have and bring awareness to the reality of people's living conditions in Payatas. I may be three years late to the video but I know the issue is probably the same if not worse back home.

[@trishaagapito9823]

it's 2020 and i'm rewatching this for the nth time. i hope you can make videos like this again once this pandemic ends. kudos to you and your team for making not only good quality of videos but also providing your viewers with a lot of information. Godbless you andnyour family!

[@marjpartosa7112]

im so proud of what you are doing here Erwan! i truly hope with the upcoming administration, they can do something about this. I mean the first and foremost who should be helping these people are the government. They should be able to give them at least sustainable jobs and of course at least a lending hand when it comes to the finance. I mean I'm aware that some countries, they have governments who provide assistance and help, especially to those with disabilities and single parents. They should also give them more access to education, as to some of them suffers from lack of education. I'm praying and hoping that our country will progress more not just in the economic standpoint but also to the people of this country, that they will be given at least what the our government had forgotten to provide.

[@Ella-vo8xz]

Well done for showing the poor side of the Philippines its good to see both rich and poor sides makes you appriciate what you have it breaks my heart watching so sad God bless all the poor people around the world! :( You really are such a nice guy, I admire you for making this documentary wish other food Blogger could have the courage to do the same as you!

[@xinni2000]

Just a moment ago I was discussing with my mother what should we eat for dinner. Just a moment ago I received an advertisement for food panda reminding me how ordering food I love is just a click away. Just a moment ago someone out there may be starving, scavenging for food in the dumpsite and experiencing malnourishment. This is why I believe that wasting food is a sin especially when food is in the comfort of my hands. It's not that when I don't waste, it's gonna help out those families out there, no. I know I can't. But I just believe, eat and order how much you can take. Be grateful for what you have. Have grace.

[@pamosido]

Hi Erwan! I wish that you could use your influence and connections in spreading voices of these people who are in need of much attention coming from our government or any organizations that have the capacity to help them. Thank you for making something like this.

[@dannijonesXD]

I am happy you shed a light on these issues. I studied the culture and effects of pagpag on the nutritional status of school children back in Baseco. It was such an eye opener and I truly hope that the new government would find a way to combat these issues!

I can relate to these story because I lived with it when I was in Philippines before I came here in the U. S. My father was a U. S citizen born. He went to Philippines when he was only 10 years old. Then he meet my mother and had 12 kids. Yes, we we're extremely poor my parents struggled to find food to feed 12 children. We came to U. S in 1975.

[@brooklynsecrets21]

unapologetic truth wait a fucking min here i do blame these women for having many kids that they cant support thats common sense . these women shouldn't give a fuck about it being a Catholic state and learn how to protect themselves cuz the government isnt helping them . so you have only seen a fraction of my opinions on this situation condoms would help

[@noideaidontwatchyoutube]

Samantha-Jane Boyd After watching these videos, I am wanting to do something to help more families. Get them off the streets into a decent home, the kids back in school, secure the parents with jobs & birth control, get them food, clothes, fresh water, bathrooms, toys, and more. Im only one person and can not do this alone, but together maybe we can come up with a solution or idea to help many families and children, and end some of the poverty we have seen. Please email me at [e-mail] if you would like to discuss with me and see if we can help these kids in some way!

[@brooklynsecrets21]

Leah Gann amen to both of u and i hope there goverment wont tax any of the money ill donate if u come up with anything

[@brooklynsecrets21]

It time to build tiny houses for these people in Philippines there is program that has lights that are done by solar i believe for like 30$ if u watch enough videos even the slums of indian or pakistan you'll run into the people that created the lights and how they can be purchased

[@LothoOdy]

Erwan, I hope you could post some-like videos about the problems in the Philippines that are being overlooked by the government and society. This video seriously got me teary. I also can't imagine a guy like you who maybe some people thought raised in a well-to-do family and totally a different surrounding could come to this kind of place and explore the unfathomed degree of poverty.

[@ramilyanhavana4927]

Erwann is becoming more like a journalist in this vlog and it suits him very well :)

[@kezzati7024]

Thanks for producing this video - you are absolutely right - whatever problems I think I have it doesn't even compare to what these people are dealing with - would definitely explore ways to help out in anyway I can...

This video is so hard to watch but it's an eye opener for all of us, specially those who are wealthy and those who are lucky to eat at least 3 times a day.

[@eunicefajardo_]

despite of their situation they can smile. i hope there is a good samaritan out there to help them, i dont have a finacial that i can give to them but i will include them in my prayer. 😢

[@BayAreaPinay]

Thanks for the video.. I’m wondering if anyone has shown them other things to look for over there besides “pagpag”..?? I saw a few recycling items in your video that they could probably get more money at a recycling center -or- rebuild their house from plastic bottles etc since it’s a good source of insulation and use mud to hold them together.. as it dries it, it will be like cement.. Better to have ONE good wall -or- floor than nothing at all.. I also don’t understand, why they are not shown to harvest their own food.. 1-2 seeds does not cost much esp if you go to the market and you see someone throw an apple or other fruits/vegetables in the trash or floor.. IF Everyone in their community join together - They will soon be eating - Education is key.. help those to read and write.. so they can get a decent job at least to feed their families.. Well, more than 100-200 pesos a day - I know it’s hard - but they have the will to survive.. Well, that’s just my opinion and I go by it and I teach my kids that philosophy. I don’t settle for anything less.. I would rather starve. My kids will get fed first when that day ever happens (knock on wood). They come first in my life.. I’m always learning different ways to survive.. I do feel sad for them and pray that they will always have food etc and the govt will step up. They were voted to take care of the people. THAT IS ALL THE PEOPLE - not the ones filling their pockets..!! - IF I ever make up my mind to return to the philippines and stay.. just yall wait.. I’m running for office.. I’m not a butt kisser and I don’t take bribes..!! MERRY CHRISTMAS

[@iamFanArtist]

This kind of thing you're doing on KZbin will inspire people a lot. like they will really be inspire to live their life even though struggles are inevitable. I mean to me, this kind of thing happening in our country is such a heart breaking thing to see. I'm 16 and I wish I could do something for this kind of situation or donate. Keep doing this Erwan, you will motivate lot of Filipinos to strive hard in their life so that they could give a better place for those people out there who are suffering in that kind of situation. =)) Have a greaaaat day! 😉
