children of manila

my mission of that day was to let the world see the life of the street children around manila. just to remind everyone, i didn't have the pleasure of taking these pics. these are an eye-opener for me and just want to share it with you to realize that life has its ups and downs. i was having a mixed emotions thru this...happy to see some of them with genuine smiles. sad when you can see through those eyes behind it...

note: some of the images are graphic and contain photographs with nudity. i captured the photos to be photojournalistic as possible and i do not promote child pornography here. to be safe, i'm patching black areas to the vital parts.

thanks for viewing.

2 things: First, not all these kids are indigent, streetrats, beggars, whatever pc label is "acceptable." Secondly, the kids that are aren't just starving or suffering from diseases, they're being made to work (panhandling or peddling where they get run over, raped, etc) and one disappearing off the face of this overpopulated city goes unnoticed. I feel that this, above all else, is the worst crime perpetrated by the gov't, parents who made them, & all of us who do nothing each and every day.

CALLING ALL FILIFINO'S ABROAD: Let us ALL unite as ONE, by helping the poor in OUR beloved country the Philippines. "WE cannot do everything, but WE can do something". Let's start with OUR own barrangay/suburbs first, then extend...DON'T asked what your country can do for you! ASKED what you can do for your country! Let us break the cycle of poverty, by giving one child(s) an education. WE cannot help them all, but we can START by HELPING ONE, then TWO. So, LETS START WITH 1, THEN MAYBE 2..

It's neither corruption nor Christianity that is causing this.

This is because of the lack of nationalism in the Philippines. I say this because foreigners have a billion chances of making money in the Philippines than most of the locals. Why? It is because many Filipinos pay a lot more attention to other countries than their own. Filipinos need to stop acting like this and get ahead by putting themselves before others. Even our construction projects import materials from China.
