A Problem that Stretches Across Waters

Weve seen how our countrymen suffer each day here in the cities of Manila because of unemployment, overpopulation and poverty. And we can see Manila Bay as one of the cites where the poor wander to find food, pity, or just plain luck on the sidewalks. As these people watch the sunset, another cold night awaits to resurface and you find them wishing theyre on the other side of the waters. But reality is, what lies beyond the stretches of Manila Bay is not that different. Residents of Bacoor Bay, a small barangay here in Cavite, are working day ang night to make ends meet. And I know some of these great people. Ive seen how they lived. Or survived. Now, its up to me and to everyone else who sees injustice, pain, and suffering, to make the whole world aware that Filipinos are one with the world, the human race, in fighting against poverty.

Lets start with words. And dare turn it into action.

Coy! In college I did an immersion in that area. In fairness it really makes one realize how lucky we are. You picked a wonderful spot to show what the pollution of Manila Bay (and Bacoor Bay) has done to this coastal community... and rendered it into a scene in Philippine poverty.
