I love how Filipinos find a way to stay happy in every situation. My bosom friend is a Filipina and I've learned so many things from her. She's sweet, forgiving, understanding and full of pure love and compassion. I am not sure if most of the Filipinos treat people in such a way as my friend does yet they tend to be kind and warm hearted. I love Filipinos. ❤

[@granknight]

***** the government is doing everything they can to help this people but sadly its not enough due to the large population and less job opportunity and 60% of the population isnt even qualified to even take a decent job one of the governments biggest problems is family planning >.< and the church isn't making things easier for the government either.

[@andrew4558]

Catholic church over there doesn't believe in using condoms. That's what I read.

[@mikhaelasantos191]

Because basically the Catholic Church rules the Philippines and family planning such as birth control is looked down upon and is very expensive. However I though recently the Philippines has passed the Reproductive Health bill?

[@mikhaelasantos191]

That is so sad :( I really dislike the Catholic Church in the Philippines, but everyone seems to idolise them there. Philippines can never grow as a country when the country is run by religion.

[@mikhaelasantos191]

It fine that these people have a religion but what's not ok is for the church to be SO heavily involved in the government. Philippines will continue to be like this forever unless something changes which is so very unfortunate.

[@rambo4war]

Because the children, as hard as it is to raise them, are their future... perhaps 1 of the 5 or whatever the number...marries a foreigner, gets a good job, perhaps lives abroad... or those 5 pool their earnings to help all. One thing for sure the lack of any offspring solidifies a dead end future...and absolutely offers no hope for the future.

[@myturn874]

Thanks Very much. It means a lot to get Nice support :)

[@Redhawk85]

fuazzole I think you are probably a kind person, but beware giving the kids money for 2 reasons. 1. A lot of the street children belong to Syndicates whereby they beg only to give it up to a Master who owns them. 2. Huffing (smelling solvents and glues to get high) is an epidemic among kids there. It gets them high to escape hardship for a little while and staves off hunger... but leaves them a mess of course. I know, I give a few pesos to them once in a while - but is much better to give them food... next time keep some packs of Sky Flakes and hand them out.

[@myturn874]

+Andrew Durand Yes it mostly food, Once we get to know the kids and if they are really homeless and no family, We help them find homes. Good people to take them in and we pay for their school and expenses. We just had our forth girl graduate college this month. We have worked with her since High school. Very exciting..

[@Redhawk85]

MyTurn yeah, that's very good and beyond what most do for sure. My above comment was actually in response to fuazzole's post. He commented he gives handfuls of money to the kids there, which is good intentioned - just posted to think about other dynamics

[@ishallreturn4976]

+MyTurn Thank you all for all your help and support to our fellow Pinoys. These people does have choices many of them came from towns, provinces outside Manila or any cities in Philippines. They go to Manila for jobs and end up in this kind of environment. The new President is coming with an agenda to distribute wealth and power outside Manila. My family and I lived in the mountains of Panay close to Boracay. Many has bamboo houses, healthy fresh air with fresh veggies, chickens, pigs...self sustaining life...not like this kind of environment. Public education is free and scholarships in high school and colleges are offered there but yes Life is a Choice... As a Pinoy I felt sorry for them myself but they put themselves in this kind of environment. May God bless all of you who helped and support my Kababayan.

[@jupiter9978]

The fact that they can smile is one proof that money could never make anybody happy. I've met people with lots of money but were still unhappy and depressed. Money is not everything but it helps. But only to a certain point. In this material, world one suffers constantly whether one is rich or poor. The spiritual being, however, is constantly in bliss and eternal. This material body will become old, diseased and dwindle and die but the spirit soul is eternal. What is the point of a big bank account if there is nothing in your spiritual bank account? At the tome of death we leave everything behind. in the end it's just you and God. And believe me God will not ask you how big is your bank account. He will ask you how big is your spiritual bank account.

the government isnt the problem the problem is the people itself or to be precise family planning is the main problem they keep making babies they cant provide for them the government is offering training's for free livelyhoods and has help about 40% of the poverty level of the population but still the remaining 60% is still a big problem the government has limited budget and lack of man power.

[@GP9c75]

granknight And why is there a lack of man power, when there are 1 bilion filipinos?! Because of the system. Thats why. Where did you get that info about 40% of them is now out of poverty? I do not believe this to be true unless its from a credible source. Sorry.

[@granknight]

GP9c75 you are either practically very very stupid an idiot or just an trolling? 1 billion seriously ? the Philippine population is only about 94 million and as for the information source i have. i'v obtain it from the Philippine statistics authority office data from 2013. the poverty rate of the Philippines is currently about 24% since 2014 it has lowered by 6% since 1991 because of the efforts of private and government volunteers and other outside organizations that offers free livelihoods for communities. all your complaints are dumbfounded you keep complaining about how the government isn't doing their job or anything then you better take a look again .but you seem to miss the fact that majority of the problem itself IS THE PEOPLE heck you want to revolt you want to protest? for what reason poverty ?? hell ask yourself first before you start complaining what have you done to the community what kind of contributions have you made ? all you deluded people who keep complaining and are always blaming the government are full of bullshit without the government CHAOS would be the result as for the problem with poverty the government cannot do anything about it unless the PEOPLE themselves change.

Chef Ho Xao Lun Some point in time Phillippines was under the US government during the 1900"s,but the people want their own independence ,Probly if the Philippines are still under the US territory ,their country are more progressive in asia , but its too late now for 100 million people and still growing...

[@Dimitrycone]

versant05 Some people in the Philippines still wishes to be a commonwealth of the United States, they are one of the few countries in this world that appreciates America's actions of defending freedoms and liberties. As you said it will help make their country a more progressive less corrupt country in Asia. It will be a growing 100 million people American territory if allowed back as an American Commonwealth. The Philippines will be a valuable territory, it would expand Americas Military and Economic power and might in Asia.

versant05 That might be true, yes. But considering the situation now, the Philippines being a US territory would have put both it and the United States in grave danger.
