Hey Andy. Thx for the vids of the street children.
I have a hard time when we visit the Philippines. To see such abject poverty coexisting side by side with wealth is dizzying.
Something is not right. Filipinos are hard workers and adapt quickly when they make it outside their country.
It must be the Philippine government, the oligarchy. If you have it you keep it in your family.
At one time after WWII the Philippines maybe could have succeeded like the other "Pacific Tigers", Japan, S Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong. Instead they got left behind.

A country gets what it deserve, no less, and no more.
Welcome to the Philippines.
I have found most people can be good workers if they have the proper management. The Filipino people continually tell you about their country, basically saying,
"I will do anything get our of here."
It is quite hard to stomach that a very beautiful girl will marry an extremely old man. The man is not crazy, it is the women.
Why wouldn't you invite that family to your room for a good washing and a little sleep for MOM on a real bed. ?
ANSWER
I was in a room for 1000 Pesos, my guess is you can rent a room for one month for what I paid for one day. So, if I was to do this, I would think best to rent for a month.
However, I do not speak Tagalog, therefore difficult to talk. The staff of Hotels in Manila have guards to shooo these people away. I think it would take a lot of Pesos to get the hotel to allow them in the hotel.
The truth is, I do not and will not make decisions for what is best for a persons life. If I give money, I stopped giving 25 cent or some small coins, I give paper, or one dollar if I can, hard to have small change and for sure you do not want to get in a money giving discussion on this street. 10 other bums are ready to pounce, and this area is dangerous, maybe. This guy Simon told me 2 people were killed on it in the last two months, this is hearsay, gossip, hard to know, but the local guards carry sawed off shotguns, so a good sign there is danger.
I gave blankets to people in Cusco, Peru, with a little I be Hobo on them, I gave 20 or this Dutch girl did it, and I paid her. It is not cold in Manila and that ploy is not as good, do not need blankets as much. Sometimes I think of giving them just good clean clothes. The flophouses in Vegas I think give the bums showers and clean clothes.
Money, where does it end? This is the job of the Philippines people, so I do not like to enable them to be worthless and lazy, I see many countries who social system is just foreigners giving money.
The bottom line and best solution to all this is to stop having sex, then not have babies. The Philippines people must have babies, so one of the children helps the parents when the father or mother becomes unable to work.
Religions, Catholics, Islamics, Hindu, Buddhist, they are all the same, they want to take over the planet by making babies. The Catholic church could stop this Fiilipino problem of babies quick.
I suppose I could annie up 50 US to see what happened if I took a poor family into a hotel for a night. Renting a room is sometimes complicated, they would want six months maybe in advance, these people do not work, they are bums, beggars, that is their work, no guarantee of money to pay the rent.
NGOs should be lobby forces with the people, the government, and the church, shame them into caring. The bottom line, when the Filipino people want to stop this, they will stop it, but that means giving money, and like raising taxes.
The USA is great, land of Taxes, and a way to pay people to fix.
One of my litmus test or asking the question...
"Is this a street child?"
Waking up in the morning on the sidewalk.
Barefeet or no shoes, then how dirty are their feet or body.
The grown men, women of the Philippines are not clean, with a job, and living well. The Philippines men are exceptionaly dirty men, and the water of the Philippines is a big question mark as to it cleanliness
Be careful what you post andy. If they want the could arrest you for that stuff. Look what they did to one couple for taking pictures of their Own clothed child >http://tinyurl.com/39tjju

This is a good point, and in my initial blog post, I said, good manners says to me, maybe I should not take the photo, and one reason I gave the 20 pesos to purchase the rights to take the photos. I truly believe that if your walking around in public, a person loses their rights to be anonymous.
I refuse to be controlled by the Politically Correct police on the planet. I will continue to take the photos and because I know of the dangers, I will also take the precautions needed to stay safe.
I thank you for the concepts put forth and think the world is over the edge stupid. people walk around naked in public and it is legal, however to take the photo is illegal.. hehehe
Men piss everywhere, people squat, and I will take their photos, and one day we will not be so primitive.
This obviously begs the question, about whether I worried about someone taking my photos. It is the right of all to take my photo, and I suppose I better lose some weight, so when they do,I look handsome and not chubby.
The main problem of the Philippines is the lack of job opportunities. Filipinos are not lazy, its just that, the government cannot find or create enough jobs to its citizens.
Problems such as, the inrease of population,street children/people,poverty, etc. can be resolved if all filipinos have job.
They will not think of sex and crimes if they have work because they will become busy due to their job.
The philippine government must see this problem because right now the college students/graduates are having the hard time to look for their job because of lack of jobs here in the Philippines!
