Storm Rising : The Slum (Episode 3) | Al Jazeera Documentaries

[@teddymills1]

I think there are 6 episodes in this series. This is one of the best series on youtube I have ever seen. Not their poverty and plight. It is their tenacity and will to fight that makes them special. Where a few hundred dollars can change lives.

[@hijazzains]

Best episodes.....the pinoys just show themselves an embarrassment to south east asia....even Myanmar seems bettet..at least the bumeez live in their own thtached basic houses..not in rat warrens

[@miischax]

hijazzains i find your comment to be an embarrassement to be honest. There is poverty literally in every country, indeed not as extreme as for example in the Philippines, however poverty is everywhere. You’re just being very disrespectful. I hope for you and your family to never experience how hard it is to try to survive under extreme circumstances.

You probably can help one. Many Europeans, Americans, Australians and others help in the Philippines. If you can help just one family or one child it really means a lot. Sometimes a family can send kids to school with just a little help. You can have one of my families anytime. I have no problem finding others that need help. Helping a begging child/teen rent a room and have some rice is not impossible, prices here are low.

The Philippine Government is doing its best to improve the quality of the lives of these people. Recently, they inaugurated new concrete houses for them. Services can reach them as well like free education from daycare to college. They can also have access to electricity,internet, and potable water. They are also entitled to any cash aid from the government if ever there is a state of calamity (like during COVID19 lockdowns). How about Ethiopia? How do you address poverty in there?

[@winchivaree140]

It's their own choice whether to live that way. There are many poor people in Korea and Japan, but their slums are clean and organized. It depends on the character of the people living in their community.

[@winchivaree140]

These Slum dwellers have been romanticizing their poverty to depend on others, especially on the government. It's their choice anyway. They are being negotiated to resettle in provinces to start a new life (free housing, all-ready livelihood programs), but they chose to reside in Manila in a disgusting way.

[@winchivaree140]

Did you know? Reproductive Health law was enacted for them to obtain intercoursal education and family planning? Contraceptives are also free, but how come teenage pregnancy and having many children still rampant in their community? It's because of their mindset that is too obsolete.

BizNeat sometimes I get fed up with the work environment but I realize I’m making more and living more comfortably than millions out there....we truly have many privileges

[@ministryofyahushua3065]

I have to commend Al Jazeera for a balanced presentation. Bravo. Two sides to every story, we just need solutions. I call it returning to "Cyan." The middle path.

[@claudebelanger8524]

Here I am 61 years old and just learning about the many hardships endured by these people. I knew there was poverty but not to this degree. I feel very fortunate that I am living a very privileged life. I have so much and live in luxury. These people are so resilient in adjusting to all the obstacles put in their way. Where I would have felt forsaken and lost my faith, they truly keep their faith strong. While I have seen comments about how the Catholic Church turns it's back in helping them out and despite the struggle these people endure because of large families, being unable to provide enough food, medical care and education, the Catholic Church still condones family planning. Catholicism is a religion while God is not a religion. God is known as the Creator. God is not Catholic, Methodist, Anglican, Presbyterian or any other religion. God is not Christian. Jesus was known as the Christ or anointed One. You can be Christian or call yourself Christian if you so choose to follow the teachings of Jesus. You can be Christian without belonging to a religion. God did not create religion, man did. I am Christian because I choose to follow Jesus' teachings but I do not belong to a religion. I belong to God

"It matters that you have few children instead of a lot". Most practical statement of this series.

As a Filipino, it's really interesting to see the comments from other nations. And also, I think the problem is that a lot of people here take the saying "Humayo kayo at magpakarami" or "Go forth and multiply" too LITERALLY. The church actually meant "spread the word of God." so a lot of people will know about God. Not multiply by birth. At least that's what they taught us in elementary school Religious education.

[@pRINCESSnARUE]

I’m not filipino but I know a lot my filipino friends are not very well versed in the Roman Catholic teaching. They’ve all been baptized but never actually went to Sunday school to learn more about the Catholic faith. Some had taken their communion but none of them went through confirmation. Mind you, I am not filipino nor am I a Catholic. My husband is a non-confirmed Catholic and still doesn’t understand why the church won’t let him do certain things.

[@dezlynvlog6876]

Wowww.. just come across with this video.. So sad, I can’t imagine how the people be able to live in nasty slums area. It breaks my heart. I was born in the Philippines in an island, ( seen the primitive life there) but never seen this part of slums before I left the country many many yrs ago, or maybe I’m just so naive. God Bless you all🙏😭 💙🇺🇸

I AM SO GLAD I HEAR ONE OF THE WOMEN TALK ABOUT FAMILY PLANNING. I UNDERSTAND AND RESPECT CERTAIN ASPECTS OF RELIGION, BUT THESE COUNTRIES NEED TO BE EDUCATED AND UNDERSTAND, WHAT FAMILY PLANNING DOES. IT REDUCES HUNGER AMONG FAMILIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jameskiffin502]

it is not just the phillipines having a population problem .even in non catholic countries like india /Pakistan ,Africa .the middle east are all having the same problem. china has the right idea one child per family that is the law & strictly enforced. it has done wonders for china & can do the same for other countries .

[@Mim-mg3rk]

James Kiffin you should watch documentaries of China's one child policy.they kidnap pregnant women and force them to have abortions.parents leave ther children to die in orphanages.you have rooms called dying rooms where they leave children in cribs to die
