Squatter Community Living Under A Bridge In Metro Manila Philippines

[zwitlipz]

@zwitlipz You are welcome. It would be nice to do it more often and all the time but its very tough to find a decent group.

You have a good, who ever you are.. What you did given clothes to those who need it, look at their faces.. You made them very happy, like a xmas for them. Thank you for being such a good person.. God bless.

[MaharlikaAWA]

@millionkronerbabe Thank you and they were very pleased. Also there is no one Good but God.

I want to do the same , if you ever go to their place or someone elses place to give things, i would love to join and give too. I want to do like this. How can i join you guys...

[MaharlikaAWA]

@millionkronerbabe Well it as a one time thing with a Fil American church I was with. We were Christians doing short term missionary work. If you want to join you should become a Christian and go to a christian church then find one that goes to the philippines. I dont go to this church anymore though.

has the government providede aid?

[snowenorr]

It seems the consensus as far as the information I recieve is that squatters are pointless to help, to some degree.

I have been told repeatedly that even if you help them they still go back to the same type of living. I know that is because of situational convenience, but an example would be giving them government housing, they would in turn either complain about the housing, or move back to the squatter village.

[MaharlikaAWA]

@snowenorr Really? Why would they do that? They should set up some projects.

[TheRivalConcept]

i think this is good and shows people how to be charitable but this also has a down side. This type of situation show s the government of PH that it can take advantage of all the countries and people who donate to the people of PH...if people keep doing this the government will not get up off their asses and fully help and take responcibilty for their own country.

[MaharlikaAWA]

@TheRivalConcept That sucks. 

[TheRivalConcept]

@MaharlikaAWA I think what people be doing is trying to get the government to be more responisble and less courupt. I'd rather be like you (if given a chance) and actually go and help people like that, at least I know where mine and other ppls money are going, that is why i dont donate to World Vision etc...

Keep up the good work...

[MaharlikaAWA]

@TheRivalConcept ya I dont donate to mission agencies either because i think most of the people who work for them are dorks more often than not and also spread liberal communist ideas. Its best just to send it yourself directly.

Sometimes I also want to help them.

When I passby those poor urban area in Manila , I fear them due to security.

 u really have courage and try to help them. That's good!

Good luck!

[MaharlikaAWA]

@senhuo Thanks man! Anyone can do it!
