[dmitricortes93]

Why dont they just make another track for the trolley people

[ThePaintmeadream]

@dmitricortes93 $ the reason nothing is ever done to help a working man

[TheGalleyGal]

It amazes me how people like him with so little can still smile while some who live in abundance whine all day. I hope someday he can go back to school, he's doing all he can to provide for his family. He's a good man.

[chikkachinijohannady]

I love this documentary. I've watched a lot of times! XD

It is well obv. that you are fucking insulting the old man right there! Have you got a Brain? I have the right to tell you that because I am the BOSS here! LOL

[poofkaboom]

@yooalina16 Oh yeah! I totally insulted the man by saying he had an "education" yeah! that's insulting him alright! you're the boss of nothing! you don't have the right to insult me you peace of trash! when that I insult the old man? you need to be more understanding and stop being ignorant, okay sweetheart? I understand why a simple minded person like yourself don't understand what I tried to say and how I didn't mean to insult anyone but you clearly started this drama.

[yooalina16]

@poofkaboom Why dont you just shut the hell up! and learned to respect people and not to Judge! because your not God!!! Okay ? Oh i didnt started this! i just said "Fck off" and you did response Son of a femaleDog!

[poofkaboom]

@yooalina16 I guess your pride is so high and mighty that you won't admit that what you did was wrong. You're retarded.

[boybiboy21]

And people here just sit in front of walmart all day and ask for money...

[allXnamesXwereXtaken]

very interesting documentary, one short note though, Polytechnic University of the Philippines is different from University of the Philippines

[uileinashla]

happy life.. yey!!!!

[jawad301000]

Life in the Philippines is very difficult but happy life and wonderful

[cosmking]

It's terrible to have to exist like that...

[uileinashla]

i love how they try to speak english lol!

[saddy941]

@uileinashla Unless they can communicate....

[MrTagapinasako]

Who gives a shit about poor people... I say let them die in poverty...

[airvilleleenmae]

@MrTagapinasako You're from the philippines and you have the heart to say that? Geeezzz.....That's why in the Philippines when you are poor you will always be poor. I see how it is.

[98vanguard]

@MrTagapinasako I care why don't you?

[Leonnidik]

The gov't of this country should have their asses whipped by all those in the shanty town railroad.

[Chois1989]

We have those in Colombia but there are smarter ways to push them on the....

B4 they used a stick... nowdays is a Moto =D I'll leave a link

Advice to the pinoys from Colombia :D

[FiIipinoUnggoy]

What you are is the sum total of your history, your heritage and culture,your education, the crap that your press sensationalizes, the bad icons that your movies glorify, the artificial values your advertising extols, the bad examples your leaders and role models project.

[98vanguard]

@FiIipinoUnggoy why you hatin on your own kind?

[FiIipinoUnggoy]

What you feed your country's mind is what it becomes. You have become the ugly monster that you've created. You are now crying all the tears your sickeningly sentimental movies wailed out for years and years! Your Biggest Fault If there is one thing that comes to mind, I think your biggest fault would be your individual greed. "Ako muna!" seems to be the national mantra.

[FiIipinoUnggoy]

The trouble is, very few people think for the common good in a deplorable "to each his own kurakot" festival. Coupled by your crab mentality of pushing down others, this can be fatal. You think barangay, not national. Hello, everybody else around the world is thinking global! Europe is unshackling her national boundaries while you are building fences around your nipa huts.

[USAdude30]

That is one good father!

[kalboneti]

someone asked me one time. do you want to be rich and miserable? or do you want to be poor and miserable? i said to my friend, misery is a FRAME OF MIND. in a 3rd world, poor country like the philippines, one has no control over his economic situation, but people ANYWHERE has control over their ATTITUDE IN LIFE.

[RedneckZ284]

Although I recently haven't had much money, this teaches you not to take what you do have for granted. However, if possible...I would donate what little I have to this family in hopes that they would make a better life for themselves.

[jeff99999]

NO MAN IS AN ISLAND

[lehungsouthbay]

no warranty....

[TheMicko27]

i am touched. at least, he was doing an "honest" job ( meaning he does not steal or wait for government money.....)

[Ac344]

He is a good father to his kids, he work hard for them.

[rlf4403tube]

@Ac344 Inspite of being poor, he is a dignified father!

[truelviz]

Life is unfortunate for people in this part of the world but seems everywhere I see in this video there are so many children like rats running around the tracks. People don't care if their children suffer life of poverty when they grow up or maybe just lack of family planning in this country

[Lumixster]

He doesnt complain, he doesnt winge, I dont have this , i dont have that...He gets on with his life, does best with what he has and he always have a dream, you cant live a life without a dream...Such a nice doco...well done.

[XxAS10xX]

aw man. so heartbreaking, he went to uni for 2 years but didnt finish cause of lack of money. dammit the government needs to know that education is top priority. education means educated man. educated man means a good job. this equals to lessening of poverty. our county shouldnt be in this crisis if the people up top know the hardships of life.

mabuhay ka kapatid, isa kang magandang ehemplo.

[deathxslide]

Philippines nowadays have more professionals but the job in this country is less than to the ppl who need work ..

 fuck those corrupt government

[SirJazz]

after watching this, i want to push a trolley as fast as i can. lol.

[angietheboo]

I wanna go back to philippines even though it's a poor country with lack of resources becos I'm happier and it's where I belong... I miss my relative and family in da philipines. I hope da government in da pilippines can help homeless and stop chaos.

[angietheboo]

lol ang pangit naman mag English yung manga pilipino

[jimaklan]

@angietheboo

jos ko alam mo namang di masyadong

nakapagaral ng dahil sa kahirapan ang mga ito

[RebelHQ]

Lots of respect for this guy, he makes the best of a bad situation.

[GigginM16]

Every country has its poor people, some make up the majority. I am a Filipino American and I'm proud of who I am and thankful for what I have- if you don't like us nobody told you to watch it, how retarded can you be? If you take time in your day to go online and bash other races you need to be castrated, seriously.

[tanteinengr]

where can you find people who just live along railroads but can speak english? it's only in the philippines baby! proud to be one :D

[TheLegendaryLinx]

Wow.. I have to respect these people for working for their money and not just standing around asking for it.. You filipinos are awesome with your "Alabang Moves" hehehe.... Compared to the all the other 3rd world countries.. Philippines is the only 3rd world country I would ever consider living in...

[jOhniefLy]

If I win the lotto here in NYC, I would go back to my country and help these people working on the rails!

[mightyhand]

Filipino homeless tries to survive and work for their money in any means. US homeless just stands near an intersection and ask for money.

[dickies2dick]

@mightyhand agree with you!

[mrmumu12]

@mightyhand ur right..

[onggoytatay]

@mightyhand The Filipinos homeless don't work. They just beg and steal. They are worse, cus they rm begging gangs.

[98vanguard]

@onggoytatay I am american but I still think there are more of those in america I have also been to the philippines very few people are like that.

[jairus21skater]

@mightyhand dude stop talking shit about americans

[98vanguard]

@jairus21skater he's not it's true!

[baZarie]

I hate how people are saying rude stuff about the Philippines.

I'm Filipino & all, so can you just go chill.

Even if I'm Filipino-American, I know that not ALL Filipinos are called Poor.

Why don't you guys check it out for your self? 

[kidrainenfina]

#LOL thats so dangerous!

[RickAHyatt]

That's what they get for fucking too much.

LIke rats, they proliferate.

Now they ride trail lines, tommorrow they crawl up your sewer lines.

War, death and destruction is the only answer, that the politicians count on.

[nosupecualponerme]

like him is millions of people r surviving any way they can ,they stroggle n fight minut by minut with hope on better ways on their minds. is sad n make me shout real load what that fuck is goin on on this world , why the humans haft to suffer this way?he is trying real hard for his kids he knows he never will go back to college unless packiao help him but we know he is helping a lot o ready now,but if i win the lottery u r on my list to help u brother.MAY THE LORD OF U CHOICE BE WITH YOU

[DJSHADDY2K7]

You no something it green but clean

[bedizta]

Bravo! Very Inspiring! God Bless Philippines!! I salute to this MAN!

[111i1011]

People do not deserve to live like that.

Fuck their government that sucks their money.

[HecklerBoy7]

Luckily the trains there don't move that fast. You will hear it a mile away --perhaps more. There's no danger in this occupation, but there doesn't seem to be much money in it either.

[OhMaiLanta]

Chop Chop! :D

[arnakie]

am really glad you had a material like that on our land

good job!

[MOSKEY13TH]

i love Philippines :]

[Arvenpokemaster]

God bless this man!

[videogoatbird]

Fantastic Job of Journalist!

[OmarDelfinity]

The are many people in the world with material wealth and not feel good in spirit and there are people in the world like the gentleman in here who is living a fine spirited life.

[FLHTom]

Filipinos make Mexicans look like rich people!!!!

[iHeadmind]

what a great guy

[turuu214]

lol wtf skating on the train rails? hahaha i wanna try that

[jmdarcega]

wow RESPECT RESPECT!!!! He may be poor financially but I'm sure he's very RICH IN HAPPINESS...God bless him :D

[marabunta661]

he may be materially poor but he is rich in spirit. he is a happy man. you can see it in his face. i respect and envy you genaro!!!!!

[bleucheese14]

Capitalism and democracy are bad for most countries. The USA is making a horrible mistake pushing these systems on the world. F+ck America.

[beejaystrings]

this video inspired me.. especially the trolley guy..wow. his motivation is amazing. honestly im a person full of complains.. what kind of food im gonna eat.. clothes.. money...etc.. but then i saw this video... wow... this guy has something that i do not have... Joy in his heart.. by the way im a filipino.. thanks for the vid!

[ryacha06]

God bless the Philippines...

[KruZniK79]

Filipinos are simple & hard-working people. i am a Filipino myself, born in Mandaluyong Metro Manila. i was born in a SLUM in a railroad neighboorhood where houses are made of thin wood, connecting from 1 wall to the next. i've seen a lot of things & i know how it is to be poor & have nothing. these people here in the video are not so different from how i live in the past as a small boy. so in-case people don't know or have any idea how we Filipinos live, watch & learn...

[OmarDelfinity]

@KruZniK79 I'm pretty sure there are more people out there who've lived a life similar to yours. I've been to places in the Philippines, the Bahamas, Mexico, etc. I've seen how the people live in those countries. It's so sad that people in rich countries like in the US make problems out of nothing, out of stupidity, and such, they have no idea how people live their lives in countries like this.

[bleedsuffer]

wow new trains! :)

[amoringis]

This guy is a lot better off than the homeless in the US. Here they go to garbage bins searching for food and sleep in sidewalks and underneath freeway bridges. This guy maybe poor but still has his dignity and happy with what he have.

[grahamw56]

@amoringis

I think the homeless in western countries are homeless for different reasons...alcoholism ? mental problems ? There is PLENTY of help available to them. No comparison to this great guy in the vid, and the millions like him in the Philippines. I'm married to a Filipina and have lived there many times.

[vilepium]

living here in the philippines is hard, poor people living here, dont care about anything.. they just work hard for the whole day to feed their family.. and i think thats why we filipino people are always happy.. despite all of the hardships, we always manage to survive... god bless the philippines...

[sanchinochan]

i didnt know this kind of job exist in the philippines though im a filipino

[GamingExtreme187]

poo faceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eee

[jfajofel]

Hats off!!!! clap clap clap

[jfajofel]

Hats off!!!! clap clap clap

[agentshrek]

where am i going to find this person?

[MrDreamDestroyer]

Good doesn't necessarily means right

Bad doesn't necessarily means wrong.

Contented doesn't necessarily means happy

[mgliza]

"may God Bless U"

[Nonymous77]

This is very sad seeing these wonderful people surviving in poverty.

[762459]

The poor people in the Philippines doesn't care about material wealth all they care is to feed their family and try hard to get their kids to school. And hoping someday they will get off from poverty, with this kind of stories there is no doubt due to their hard work they will get out of that life. They deserve better lives than this.

[GaolisVideoLog]

@762459 "with this kind of stories there is no doubt due to their hard work they will get out of that life." They won't. We have a glass ceiling. They can only get to some point and that's it. With our population explosion and the lack of sustainable debt solutions plus the monopolyzed economy and homogenous educational industry, in due time none of us, especially these guys, will get anywhere. We need change. Fast.

[jonharvest]

it is really an inspiration how he was able to eke a decent living despite all the odds stacked against him. great job mr journeyman! you are able to capture and highlight the inherent goodness and indomitable spirit of man...

[coldthugz]

Here am I complaining about my Job, when this man works so hard for little just to survive, This really opened my eyes, when I go back to Philippines, I promise to give back to my people. Mabuhay!

[danrolpaus]

hahahaha... LOL chop chop hahaha

[deano1980blue]

i lke the trolley

[ako09jsi]

a simple story,yet true.

[urban05]

why not just ride a train, its more safe.

[chronodude10]

@urban05 have you ever heard the word cheap? Trolleys are way much cheaper than riding a train.

[MUZiKERO1]

IT'S NOT THE UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES!! ITS THE POLYTECNIC UNIVERSITY OF THE PHILIPPINES!!! The University of the Philippines is not located there!!

[urinme]

hats off to this guy. "Just common Sense". Greatly inspired! Thanks to Journeyman. I wish this guy to take up his computer business soon.

[clarkdave]

Philippines has a terrible traffic discipline, so the lower-class resorts to this method similar to Cambodia's bamboo trolley.

[rolfedh]

Thank you for making this documentary. I really enjoyed it.

[northwest500]

Life dealt these guys a bum deal, but they don't moan about it and play the game with a smile on their faces. We in the west are fortunate and do not appreciate our good luck.. Materialism does not equate with automatic happiness. Their enduring persistence deserves our admiration.

[louislungbubble]

these trolley tresspasers wont be so popular with the local community if they get hit by a train and the family and kids riding on it are killed....they have been doing this for years...even the  kids have toy trolleys....i am a railwayman..i know what its like when people get hit by trains..........marty

[nicocabalhin]

1:26 - trains are not the enemies. the trolley are the enemies and trespassers there..

[chronodude10]

@nicocabalhin well in his point of view the train is his enemy.

[xavierpaquin]

Damn, this is so unsafe, there must be hundreds of accidents every year

[tracktorag]

in Philippines, your lucky if you were born rich :)

[OMGitsSEVEN]

Humans are genius

[xfeng607]

Hard working man. Don't see many of these kind of people in America now days.

[m00kaw]

God Bless this man and more like him!

[raulsaenz]

i love this guy ! he sounds like borat >D hahah but what a beautiful human being

[boswellchrome]

this trolley man may be richer than most people watching this vid (not $)

[h3mmod1990]

Wow so much inspiration to me

[kancerzx]

I like to see more documentaries of this

[eric5906]

@Aupas : I go to the PI several times a year. Going next month. So many hard working, terrific people there. Especially if you're Filipino, you owe it to yourself to have a visit. Awesome beaches, beautiful women.

I agree, this was a very cool story.

[AdrianHo0303]

What this man is doing and all those who condone him is dangerous and illegal. C'mon people this is not a question of being happy or not, of course this man is NOT happy hes just smiling for the camera! The culture in this country, especially the CIVIL SERVANTS and rich poeple have to do a lot so that poeple won't have to resort to this. Thinking this man is trully happy is stupid.

[SnappyHip]

@AdrianHo0303 He isn't truly happy ;P but he is somewhat contented with what he has, according to surveys Philippines is just next to India of being one of the happiest countries despite their conditions in life. So what if it is illegal? he is human he has to survive in the world, if you were him you would also do the same. Filipinos have the "Bahala na" expression which is like "We leave our fate to God alone" :P he is happy coz he is contented but he isnt happy also coz of lack of finances.

[xavierpaquin]

@SnappyHip Hakuna Matata

[AdrianHo0303]

@SnappyHip this is just the kind of attitude the corrupt politicians and people in power want -'don't worry,be happy'.Of course anybody has to survive,but this only shows the attitude of many Filipinos."who cares"-"bahala na"-it has nothing to do with God.Hw many people in the Phils.today?90 mil+?hw mch ws the Lotto prize?700mil+,heck nobody needs to be poor in the phils!,if they gave out loans so that evryone could start his own legitimate business nobody has to live dangerously,like this man.

[jusitke07]

the father in this film i a man among men. his family is economically poor, but immensely rich in love to his kis

[ValerieBarlow]

Now that there are commercials on so many youtube videos, it won't be long before the internet becomes complete bullshit just like the rest of the MSM.

[ChelskiBonjourino]

Nice man. I feel sorry for his situation yet he appears to be making the best of it for his children.

[CindyBradyTooh]

OUTSTANDING video, as always! :D

Your videos are always SO INTERESTING! :D

~Cindy! :)

..

[max1831]

God bless him and his two kids...

[wufwufwufwuf]

not once did he complain about the things he didn't have

happiness is hard but he looks like hes doing OK

[RafaelMinuesa]

@wufwufwufwuf

That's so true. I was living in Singapore before coming to the Philippines and everybody there is very rich but you only see long faces, as opposed to here, where they all immensely happy and thankful for the simplest things in life.

[welcomegohome]

Life House sucks... I'm done here.

[machippy]

wait till they discover the 2 stroke leaf blower engine. LOL

[dudrhkd7]

they should come to America and be nurses

[krazeekd09]

I respect this man a great deal. Some ppl have all the material things this world offers but really they don't have what this man has. Courage, perseverance and above all LOVE.

[lejink]

@krazeekd09 i agree.. you see hugely famous successful and rich movie stars here in america who feel this need to find meaning in their life. they go to things like scientology, a cult, to find it.

while the rest of us think if we only had that kind of money we would be truely happy, they show us its not the case

[edmonton67]

@krazeekd09

You have it so correct. Wealth does not bring one happiness nor love of family.

[zocurtis]

Hey next time you're traveling, can I come?

[nationalpipe]

hard life but happy!
