![The Reality of Life in a Philippine Slum [4K]](/img/n.gif)
So sad but have you notice that everyone has smile and also everyone has nice clean clothes. They are living the best way they can and I admire that.
@jensen It's not really sad they're happy at least they eat three times a day these poor people living in slum area. They make money by selling recycling items like bottles, aluminum cans, newspapers and many more. They don't sit around.
Only a fool traveling through would label them as poor or in poverty… comparing his life to theirs.
they are tax FREE..one of the main reason of sadness
Why dont they clean up after themselves. That's just nasty. Just because your poor doesn't mean you have to be nasty
@@tstones5187 True. Did you see the squalor they were living in? The area beneath them looked like sewage plant waste.
No matter where he went there was always someone with a smile on their face.Filipinos are incredibly resilient.
What's the population of the residents?
They're renowned for the best cuisine Global scale. They should well accommodated like Singaporeans. They're corrupt free nation, so they deserve extra care from anyone that cares, and not being hypocritical. Just assist as you want if you care, not criticise. Thieves are receiving medals... and respect at least they humble themselves with dignity and are faithful...pushed to rock bottom by circumstance beyond their control, they can't give up now.
@@CharlesOnikosi-ql5sb The population of the Philippines is 104 million.
i agree. despite the wealth of countries like s.korea/japan, i see so much more sad faces there
smile does not always mean something good. I've lived here for a long time and I know what that smile means. Many times disappointed by such a smile
man any other country suffering this level of poverty would break down, yet these guys have learned how to continue through tough times with smiles and resilience, its inspiring for sure.
This is incredible. On average I'd say I see more smiles in this video than on any given day in New York, Singapore, Seoul, or Tokyo.
In Tokyo they fake-smile xD
I work and live in Singapore, and I've met a number of Filipinos along the way. They're the nicest, kindest and happiest people I've met in my life. Very accommodating and kind.
And some of the most arrogant, meanest and vilest people are the super rich.
@@nanbutinanquibotiquiit goes both ways. It’s not exclusive to one social class….why don’t you meet more people and see for yourself
@@nanbutinanquibotiqui Do you see the problem in this thinking? Poor means Friendly and Rich means arrogant. But you never stop and thought that friendly can be submissive and arrogance can be assertiveness.
No they aren't friendly people.
I was sick and admitted in the hospital I have a trouble hearing and those Philippines nurses laughing at me when they asked me any questions. They so rude.
@@derrickthai9472 maybe, you assumed too much. They were probably laughing at tsomething else and not you.
I’m from the Philippines and I was humbled at where I came from. We’ve always been family oriented. They maybe poor by our standards but they’re happy! Made me realize that as long as my basic needs are met everything else is wanting not needing, there’s a Big!difference. Appreciate what you have
Hello from Pakistan, yeah i find cheerful people its surprise to know people even live like that having smile on their face. By the way what was the bottle in that video (Pepsi/Cocacola )?
No human should live like this in 2024 !! The leadership of the country is too blame.
Behind that smile, has a big problem they keep. Even the homeless in the side of the road, if you talk to them they smile, even there life is so difficult. But they still smile.
They choose to live this way. They're Huts on stilts. They Call This Happy Land. I lived there for an entire month. Best weather in the world. It was awesome.
it's just common sense, if you are still happy with being poor, not much will change. Many Asians country are on the rise, don't see why Phillippines can't be one of them
Filipino ako. We grew up poor, too, but in the province. I can see a huge difference. This is awesome and fascinating.
I was there in Philippines around two years and I never saw such great people with big heart. They always welcome you with smile. Very helpful and kindhearted humans.
I saw that practically everyone the TH-camr met was friendly, warm, and welcoming. That is the culture of all Filipinos. They welcome their guests as if they were family.
agree. Filipinos are resilient people.

Maybe it's me but they seem more happier than us in America
This is a reminder to wake up grateful.
@@cruksi7001 BEING grateful for everything is always good it humbles you that you can have it worse and to be happy with what you have so many people are greedy and are never satisfied and always want more and wonder why they end up miserable theres a reason that there smiling and have very little there value isnt in materialistic things but family instead
I completely agree. At least we are not experiencing what folks of this community are encountering in the lowly place.
Grateful for what exactly? Europeans, Chinese, Japanese and so on, would have already built entire towns if they had to live like those people, no matter how poor they are... I don't feel sad or sorry for these people. They have SO MANY resources there, with hard work and time, they could build entire civilization and town... Back in 2013 or 2014, in Japan 3 whole towns were completely flattened with ground, there was not a single building left standing for hundreds of miles, the whole thing looked like a movie, there were over a 100,000 buildings destroyed - BUT GUESS WHAT?! - all the people there, over 95,000 people, including over 20,000 people from other towns around, got together and IN JUST TWO YEARS, they completely cleared out hundreds of miles of ground to build new foundations for new buildings and houses and by the end of 2017, in just 3-4 years, they have completely rebuilt over 98,000 buildings and homes, roads, walkways, stores and so on and so forth... ALL from nothing! Yeah... Same story with earthquakes and other natural disasters that happened over the past 400 years in China, Japan, Greece, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia and many, many other countries... Back when there was no media, internet or outside help... All these countries, all these different people rebuilt ENTIRE CITIES AND CIVILIZATIONS down from quite literally nothing!
Meanwhile you have people like these in Philippines, India or Africa... Watching these people is like watching those people in Africa, sitting on so many resources they could easily build entire towns, entire civilizations... And yet they live worse than Europeans did during bronze age in 3,000 BC and are waiting for someone else (usually Europeans) to help them because they are too lazy and too stupid to help themselves.
SCINTILLAM DEI crushed the atheist argument that God is evil for letting suffering exist.
The Philippines is supposed to be one of the world's richest countries, but it suffers from abject poverty due to how the rest of the world regards it. I visited in 2012 and observed this experience firsthand, as well as the rich side of life. It's completely distinct universes. I've also visited a number of Southeast Asian countries, and the conditions in some of them are similar, which is a heartbreaking shame. I understand that many people throughout the world live in abysmal poverty and are homeless through no fault of their own, but this is absolutely heartbreaking.
God Bless the Philippines and all Filipino People, everywhere. Among all the people on the Earth, I admire and respect you the most.
Man, did you nail it. Geezzzz, I'm gonna need some time to process this. Excellent! I was there man. We'll done 🙏🏻
I am in UAE and have seen so many Philipino People here. Out of curiosity I explore few article about them and it was saying they are very very good in hospitality. They are very soft spoken, humble people. After 10 hr and sometimes 12 hr of work at shopping center, i could not find a single mark of stress on their face. I do have too much love and respect to Philipino friends.
After watching this video , it has increased further.
"After 10 hr and sometimes 12 hr of work at shopping center, i could not find a single mark of stress on their face." They have no choice! They are not superhuman. They desperately need jobs to support their families back home. If they demand shorter hours or better pay, they'd be sent back home in the next plane! There's always someone from The Philippines, Bangladesh, Pakistan or india to take their place.
And they use them as slaves in UAE
@@bigcol4932 yes even Africans too
@@tuberhubris4154 I sort of agree- there’s 2 sides to it however. Saying they should not leave their home country and go and work elsewhere? Or maybe improve conditions in the places they go to so they can send back more money?
It’s never a straightforward answer.
The place does have issues with bribery and corruption which doesn’t help.
if only the President of the Philippines is Mr. Panfilo Lacson, things would change drastically in my COUNTRY
Wow...this video had me in tears in certain sections. My best friend, who is more like a sister to me than my real sister, grew up in a similar community there in the Philippines and seeing this makes me love and appreciate her even more. My heart and soul goes out to the people of the Philippines, keep the faith and know that God is always with you.❤
Nice to hear from someone who appreciates hardships experienced by Filipinos.
Best comment ever. Despite the poverty, I enjoyed seeing people smiling.
I’m a filipino but never seen a community like this. I’m so blessed.
But this doesn’t justify the fact that this must end asap. Why are we all justifying millions’ poverty by saying they’re lovely and compassionate?
I felt a little uncomfortable because of the terrible, unclean living circumstances. These folks who are able should truly pick up their rubbish to improve their life, even if it is only for their health. Even if you are poor, having clean surroundings might improve your situation.
I have been all over Asia but not the Philippines. I was saddened by the rampant poverty but amazed at the degree of friendliness and hospitality. You would think such modest living conditions would lead to a hardened outlook on life but it doesn't appear so.
I lived in Philippines for three years (Mindanao mostly) after leaving active duty USMC. After living in Okinawa for four years, year in China afterward, 3 years in the middle east, 1 year homeless in NY city, and raised in a crime ridden predominantly poor black/urban area while growing up (as a white person). Now in an upper class gated suburb in America...
My perspective is wherever you go, there you are. We can adapt to situations faster than we realize and discrimination is a valueable tool for survival.
Good and evil are everywhere! May you stay safe on your journey in this world 🌎 🙏 ✨️ ❤️
Fantastic walk tour. Very informative & educational for the world. Thanks for sharing
The world already knew they were poor
@@tstones5187 yes but we dont usually get to see it what it looks like!
Salamat for the walking 🚶♂️tour 😊
It's such an eye opening experience on video but going in person will make you cry. I volunteered to feed homeless kids when I was Angeles City and it was beyond sad. As was mentioned in previous comments, even though Filipino's don't have much they always have a smile
I heard there’s lots of poverty there but omg! They look clean despite the condition. Humbles you watching that they don’t even have furniture but I’m wondering if they have electricity and running water. Somehow they all have big families and look happy. Respect.
Even though they have tough poverty here, they are some of the happiest people you will ever be around. I been living here for 6 years and LOVE it. Been coming here for 26 years.
Filipinos are some of the most welcoming and humble people I know from experience living in Hawaii and this right here shows the true and loving heart these people have even when only having the least. God bless the filipino people!🙏
Yeah until they steal your stuff
ano connect ? hahahaha
3:30 i see
Have you been there? They are not so welcoming. What you say is an internet thing, probably from Filipinos
Yes🤡unless you get a wife that seems to love all the men, but rest assured smiling faces always tell lies🚀
I grew up with philipino ppl since i was a child. They have the coolest & happiest culture. I hope something could be done for their country 🙏🏽
You can help just go marry a Filipina. I'm 65 and I just married my 20 yr old wife from. Cebu, she now had opportunities here in America that she wouldn't have in her nation
@@GandalftheWiseWer not a charity case some might wanna go down that road but not all of us.. what you think this is some kind of trafficking operation.. and don't get me started on Filipina women selling themselves short on marrying for visas..
@@isalee5249 Filipinas are known to bring good wives and the Philippines have a low divorce rate. I don't think they ever divorce because they are catholic
@@GandalftheWise filipinas talk to much shit and they marry people like you for their visas and then they divorce you and take all your money loooooooooooooool they are not gonna marry some wrinkly old dinosaur for their handsome looks it's a business transaction
thankyou for sharing.
Historically there has always been communities living on the water in the Philippines for centuries. Before, such villages were made entirely of bamboo, but in modern times scraps of plastic,metal , plywood, concrete, and other modern man-made materials make up the construction giving the ambience that of a discord of architecture and a look of poverty. Here is a close thriving , caring community, no one looks starved and no one looks miserable or unhealthy . It is a simple fishing life of families of friends and colleagues. Wealth and hapiness is a very relative thing. Something the West cannot understand.
Well said 👏 much respect 🙏
Not all
“Wealth and happiness is a very relative thing”. Can you explain what you meant by that? As an American, I realize that poor people here live like kings compared to other parts of the world. I realize some of us apparently don’t realize such.
Ignorance is bliss
so far, 14 minutes into the video, and I see no sign of any crying, screaming, panic, or altercations. It's just people hanging out and/or working. And they don't seem to be complaining of any boredom.
Surreal. Squalid. Symbiotic. Enduring. Perseverant. The slums of the Philippines. Thanks for showing us this place. Quite eye-opening.
wokery doesn't have a place in places like this. unlike the west who are thriving but they twisted their minds. their richness corrupted some of their people
thanks
Squeals.

@@user-df7ls4mz2t “ supposed to be “. Why ?
I just visited this area for 12 days about a week ago. Stayed in Fynn motel. This poverty is somewhat worse than what I saw visiting a girlfriend who earns $1 an hr and lives in Cavite. Personally, I mostly saw reasonably happy people and saw no malnutrition. Undoubtedly, I have a skewed perspective but although there is great poverty it is not a hellhole.
love Philippines from Kerala, India❤❤❤❤
Poverty is every where in the world even in New York , LA and all the big cities in the world.
Love to Philippines from India 🇮🇳❤️🇨🇿
This is a totally different level of poor 😢 you cannot find like that in the United States

Thank you for this very inspiring video, makes me feel very lucky in life not having this kind of living. So grateful that my life is I may say normal and considered to be on the middle class of society. Great video btw.
You may want to give a disclaimer to your audience not to venture into squatter areas or abject poverty areas it is not safe for foreigners and even Filipinos to go into these areas.
all these places u mentioned yes , people are poorer than in other areas of philippines , but believe it or not in some places like cebu or bocolod folks are not as poor off as some might have you to believe , i've noticed a lot of filipinos are poor by choice because they don't seem to want to work or earn money or learn how to better their lives , a lot of false stigma and misconceptions on the internet these days portraying All filipinos as being dirt poor when their actually not!
This channel likes to post mostly the poorest side of the country. I guess thats where you get lots of views huh? earning money using the filipino people’s innocence broadcasting how poor they are and so the ignorant viewers will think the whole Philippines is like that.
POVERTY PORN pa
Despite the lack of monetary wealth, they look healthier than our US population and much more happy and pleasant. Something we lack here, even if we think we have it better.
Lovely peoples ❤
Love Philippines from Indonesia 🇲🇨❤ 🇨🇿
Thank you, brother or sister
-from the Philippines 🇵🇭
Yes, such is life in the Philippines. You will encounter the same situation every day, and it will occasionally worsen. I wish the local authorities will provide them with urgent assistance. Thank you for uploading this video.
The same living situation happens globally even the first world countries are not spared.
@@marijolivitzky4336no but it’s easier to get away from it
let them work hard on their own. I’m a filipino and I don’t agree with what you are saying. I don’t want my tax to be wasted on them.
FYI Philippine GOVERNMENT what can do for these Filipinoes
SHOW CLEANLINESS of Surroundings first! VITAL for DIGNITY or PRIDE of being the kind and happy PEOPLE po
Wrong! Do not impose your culture on them. You think money is just the basis to judge someone if he is poor or not and this is where you are wrong.
As a Filipino, you should look more into the root causes of this poverty in our past. Many vloggers dwell into poverty in the Philippines but fail completely in delving into the root causes of this poverty. Our country was very rich even before the Spaniards came. You should be crying for justice at what Spain, America and Japan did to our country.
Let's speak honestly. Compared to developed or emerging nations, the Philippines has far higher levels and wider distribution of poverty. In those countries, you don't see babies rolling around on the streets. The government and individuals in that area are not doing enough to improve the lives of their fellow Filipinos who are less fortunate, and the issue has gotten worse.
@@aerahsanchez7166 "Let's speak honestly..." You're being honest!? Better do more research. You're full of generalizations.
Kebanyakan penjajah dari sepanyol negaranya tidak ada yang kaya miskin seperti negara Amerika latin
Did to the country when? Its a wealthy country who do not support the people like every other rich country. When you go to manila and see Gucci. Mercedes etc its money in the country or these places would not exist. Lets not be blind to the real CURRENT REASON!!!!!
300 years of looting from Spain, 50 years by USA, and 4 years by Japan, no countries in this world would survive this kind of terror. No number of Reparations would heal the damaged that has been done for centuries.
When I first went to the Philippines in 1983 (thanks US Navy) the mean income was $126 per Year, not month or week. As a stupid farm kid from Wisconsin, I had never seen anything like the poverty I saw. It has gone up but is still low. Filipinos are resilient, friendly and giving even if they have nothing.
Great walk, thanks!
Shout out to all the beautiful phillipino people in this video. Much love from the states from one hermano to another.🇵🇭❤️🇺🇸
Magadang gabi kuya. I tell you something, these great people have nothing much in life but will always have something to offer others. Filipinos are absolutely beautiful and awesome people and I appreciate every ofw as well.
I saw that practically everyone the TH-camr met was friendly, warm, and welcoming. That is the culture of all Filipinos. They welcome their guests as if they were family.
Its true

Salamat po, kapatid.
They still look so friendly and happy to see you. Thank you for this insight into their life.
Indonesia dan Philipina adalah saudara dekat ..😊❤ apapun yang terjadi di Philipina sudah pernah dialami Indonesia..makanya Indonesia kalau disuruh dan diijinkan pemerintah Philipina untuk bangun ini itu ..pasti Indonesia bersedia tanpa pikir panjang dan gak pakai mahal...bagi Indonesia membangun dan menyejahterakan rakyat Philipina itu sudah menjadi tanggung jawab Indonesia karena SUMPAH PALAPA...namun terkadang masih terkendala kultur system pemerintahan dan management kepemilikan tanah yang masih semrawut.
Semoga Pemerintah Philipina segera konsultasi dan bekerja sama dengan Indonesia untuk segera berbenah ❤❤❤❤
mantapp
That is a nice idea. But i think it is quite impossible, because if indonesia would help on the philippines' poverty while indonesia also has poverty issues too ( every country has their poverty side on it even japan and sk) , it is more likely that indonesia would focus more on dealing with their problem first rather than their symbolic relationship with other country.
Mereka cuma berharap dibantu oleh negara maju, Bro. Bukan sama negara yang masih berkembang macam Indonesia, gengsi lah mereka. Contohnya komentar diatas gua.

That area is the southern part of the Manila bay, left side of Cavitex expressway from Manila. A mixture of honest and hardworking, drug addicts, lazy, drunkard people; but they're all nice if you get to know them. They're resourceful enough to earn for a living but sucks a lot in spending it wisely. There may be some people who manage to move their way out of the mess buy a house of their own, while others unwittingly opt to stay and rot.
Beautiful people I love this here in Saudi Arabia many Filipino respect
Im from philippines and living here in the province i visit some of relatives in the city same like this area but they are so happy and so positive in life.thats the filipino character that make us uniques even how hard life is we are very grateful everyday!!!❤
No matter what challenges may come Filipinos are fighter❤
But this doesn’t justify the fact that this must end asap. Why are we all justifying millions’ poverty by saying they’re lovely and compassionate?
Looks like fun! AND memories! Everyone looks healthy and happy!
Same world, different life. Thanks for sharing. Hope the government will actually address at the root and eradicate this issue one day. Nice video btw.
this video is the realization that we never give up on our dreams and goals.
Wow, how incredible. Strong scenes.
thank you for showing life there, it turns out that life in the Philippines is not like what I imagined, but on the other hand there must be a decent life,
Filipino people are the best.
I’ve known many in my life, and I can’t think of any negative experiences.
Love you all.
Kind and compassionate human beings. Respect. 💛
I love Philippines from Myanmar🇲🇲❤🇵🇭
Tbh this isnt even as bad as the fevellas in Brazil, or the slums in India. Really poor but still really clean in poverty standards, pretty descent weather etc.
Not clean shit under the carpet
Watching this make me so grateful of my life . Here I'm watching from Sarawak. Poor but friendly with their smile's
They are a resilient people and make do with whatever they have and are still able to be happy, God bless them
great video and continue showing this side and hopefully the rest of the world will notice and send help
My God those 2 girls at 0:50 are so beautiful that young girl looks like she can be a model. ❤
Rich and poor peoples everywhere in the world but if you will work hard you can change your destiny. I visited Philippines I knows they are hard working peoples so I am hopeful they will raise their life standards. Good thing about phillipino is that they have good heart about Islam and Pakistan. They are very sweet and friendly people. Many many love from Pakistan
I remember spending 3 days in a Squatter area once. Dont know exactly where it was. I had the best time. Walang halong kaplastikan ang mga tao and I really appreciated that.
Always happy! People in the US living with all the luxuries and still grumpy, pissed off and mad...God Bless these God-fearing people...
Ain't that the truth !! Insane
Seriously even have my stuff could change these people’s lives
people in the USA do not live in luxury but debt, debt is not a luxury..
its not insane at all.... luxuries dont buy happiness... not when you have no family.. no community.. no healthy relationships or human connections. plus they are stressed working shitty jobs behind a computer all day 5 days a week...
everyone is brain washed into working making money and spending it and buying things that dont actually make them happy..... They don't know how to live in the moment and enjoy the things that do matter.
Lower intelligence usually increases happiness
The smells can't be fully articulated in words. Even in all that squalor, they remain a beautiful people.
very good behavior philipine netizen.. always smile to stranger❤❤positive environment
Beautiful people I love 💕 them all so happy that are I wish I could help all of them
My wife is from the Philippines and I’ve been a couple of times now. They’re still very happy people. They do ask for money but they’re very happy people
they are very happy just because you have a lot of money 😂
Thanks!
Thank you so much. I sincerely appreciate your generosity.
Filipino people are incredible. My wife is Filipina. She is from Bicol.
The environment may look dilapidated, but these people look nice and clean. Clothes are clean, hair are not messy, looks healthy. They may not have resources, but they sure are making the best of things.

Really good video. I found during my year long 18000 miles wiggle around the PH in 2014 the stilt slums made some of the best films. I met a real Beauty Queen 10 in one in Mandaue, and also visited Tando, and others from Mindanao to east Samar coast, and Indonesia too.

Not sad. Normal for them. They are happy. They love it.
In Bangkok there was a village like this and it was built along the side of a train track.
Only room for one home deep. The homes need to be to the side of each other and they stretched for miles along the side of the track. Imagine the train noise!
I am white British. People like these have invited me into their homes. I have experience of this in both Thailand and Indonesia. Folks living like this are happy.
they are one of the most beatiful looking people i have seen
This absolutely breaks my heart to see such poverty, alcohol abuse filth drugs etc. Children are subject to abuse living like this the stench from this place must be overwhelming 😢 and to think babies/children and animals are subject to these conditions breaks my heart.
Worse than the slums in BKK!!!

The government and individuals in that area are not doing enough to improve the lives of their fellow Filipinos who are less fortunate, and the issue has gotten worse.
@@aerahsanchez7166 You are just exaggerating. You don't see babies rolling on the streets of Manila you just happened to see that scene in videos or other sources, otherwise they would be run over as we all know Manila has traffic problems which is why the subway underground transportation is being built of which will be opened to the public in 2028. It's gonna be more modern than in New York subway.
We can say that it's horrible and yes, a lotta things are BUT the tight-knit communities, the energy, the unification and the family orientation is something that cannot be replaced in a lotta families that are "well-off" or middle class. Public schools give children access to see poverty, alcohol and drug abuse as well depending on what city you're in. We, who are well-off, might see just the down side of this but there's a lotta ppl who would trade their lives to have what these "poor" people have.
That's what happens when there are no more White people! Civilization collapses into what you see here!
How many times do you need to experience this generation after generation until you finally learn that without White people you cannot make it?
Hello my friend Thanks videos..Yes big poetry there my friend Verry sorry for all that good peoples there

I was here lamenting about poverty in Nigeria but after seeing Philippines conditions , I can say that Nigerians are not poor anymore is just that Bad Government we are suffering from
It reminds me of makoko😂😂😂
Don't get it twisted Nigeria is poorer than the Philippines, some countries just have differing dynamics.
I don't see poverty here, the have disposable issue and it's around the coast. This is a rock bottom problem, being at the shore.The environmental decay was caused by long-term neglect. It can be fixed, refurbished and become a tourist destination for the hopeful residents, not exploitation. All are well mannered, dignified and respectful. So don't be judgemental if you can't assist or have the know how. God has his plans for every nations in need of his assistance and blessings.
@@westkingston3135 @CharlesOnikosi Yes you are right. BTW, Philippines is now a newly industrialized country along with Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Mexico, Brazil, India, South Africa, and more. The Philippines became an Industrialized country two years ago, went from a developing country. Even first world countries like USA in L.A. CA, Seattle, Pennsylvania, Chicago, Canada, England, in Europe, Germany, Spain, Italy and many more share the same poverty situation. Here in the US it's worse, hundreds of homeless live in hundreds of tents and lack of sanitation, under the bridge, bushes, with many beggars and addicts, mentally disabled you name it. In the Philippines it's just poverty nothing similar to what I've mentioned and they live in slam areas like squatters at least not in tents without electricity.
The Philippines' build3 program started by former Pres, Duterte is still on going. The Subway underground transportation ( costing at $4.5B )in metro Manila will be opened to the public in the year 2028 only soft opening and the new International airport in Bulacan of which the completion date is 2025 is much bigger than NAIA. The skyway is done (overhead freeways) Those poor countries I've mentioned don't have Underground transportation, etc. etc.
The reclamation project in which a new city will be built soon across the Manila Bay Area is a very expensive project and monorail will also be built near BGC, Eastwood City and Alabang near Taguig. WOW Philippines, it's gonna be something big to look froward! I could hardly wait to visit again.
@@westkingston3135 Indeed. I would rather live in fillapeens then anywhere in africa lol

One would normally associate "poverty" with utmost misery-starvation, ill health, depression, lack or absence of comfort to mention a few.
There are some of those elements here. But the severity of those elements cannot be found in their extreme state. I believe that's because
not only of resilience per se, but the nature of social structure that amplifies said resilience. Also, the "unique" acceptability/possibility/potential for micro enterprises
and/or self-employment possibilities alleviates what would otherwise be untenable state of existence
Just noticing that not everyone is pleased with your presence with camera on their faces & in their homes. Just be concious of those who doesn't want to be part of your documentary vlog, otherwise good content naman siya showing the unfortunate and the have-nots in our society. Sana nabigyan mo sila kahit ano for welcoming you in their community.
Lmao. Who is that "not everyone". Cringe ass.
I met my soulmate here and took her out of there. I fell in love with who she is and not how she looks. I love how strong spirit she is and smart. We been together for almost 3 years now and living in the U.S. my hometown. She never been so happy. We been supporting each other no matter what. Yes I'm Asian as well. I'm thai and she obviously Filipina.
How can I help someone get out there? So she can come to US like the process n everything
@brandonestrella7193 There are many factors but a long lengthy process. Some examples is you can have them apply for a F-1, J-1, H-1B, O-1, TN, or get a K1.
They are all so nice and kind hardworking people truly friendly
Interesting video tour. Sad but true.
love this . thank you
There is the Senator Lina law in the PH that protects informal setlers also known as "squaters" . If they been living there for years no one can just evict them, the government must provide them a relocation site, thats what happen with the Phil national railway railroad. Squaters were relocated and given house and lots. I told this story to an indian coworker and he was shocked.
real wealth is having people around you that show love. food and water everyday, clean clothes, and a warm bed. and genuine happiness and comfort
there are people who live in mansions, they have everything they couldve ever imagined to have but they are miserable.
real wealth is being happy and at peace regardless of material things.
this is the real philippines. reality. poverty. this is what happen to your country when the govt is corrupt.
Corrupted by whom??? These countries don't have the luxury of surviving without American and European greed that lowers everyone else's standards of living. Especially if they are majority non white nations.
😂😂😂😂Corrupted by who? WESTERN INTERESTS AND INFLUENCE.
also 300 years of looting from Spain and 50 years by USA hahaha
filipinos love the US, maybe the US could give some help
@nufiya999 that kind of mindset is the reason we are stuck, I freaking hate it...
The Filipino spirit is amazing, people with so much more could learn simple happiness from people who have so much less!!
Wrong they live better than us
@@FrankLarge-zs7sp agreed they actually do live better then us.
The happiest I ever felt in my life was as a child growing up before computers and the internet and social media. And I came from a poor family. Not a day goes by I don't miss and long for those days.
Americans only think they have it better because they are brain washed into thinking material possessions are what they are meant to live for and consuming. While working as debt slaves for corporations making someone else rich. It isn't normal or healthy....
They're unable to take good decisions
to me those people are so friendly and so family and community oriented they deserve better =[
Improvise. Adapt. Overcome. Mad respect for Phillipinos and people everywhere in the world who grew up in unfavorable conditions.
shit, i thought my life was bad enough already.
i need to be more humble and learn to smile more like these lovely people ❤️
Poverty is everywhere 😢❤❤❤ from India🇮🇳
the cause is corruption
One thing is poverty and another think is dirtiness
look at how most of them smile...amazing
Everyone has nothing but people are still happy i love it ! I wish i could clean up that water for them . I'd actually give up my stuff here to live like this in peace amongst them .
Di setiap negara pasti ada hal sperti ini, kami yakin rakyat pilipina akan segera bangkit dan makmur, Indonesia menyayangi kalian semua
not possible as long as the people's spirit well being is hostage or high jack by an idolatrous religion from the west that was the reason too why GOD send the Jews to diaspora for worshipping idols it's good their done with it anymore except still they don't recognize the Lord JESUS till now so they still have to undergo some problem with their neighbors,
The sad thing about poverty in the Philippines. You ask each family in a poverty area on how many children do they have. You will notice on each family. They do have more children compared to a middle well off family. My point is. Poor people should control having more children as they knew to themselves that life is hard and so not to pass on poverty to their children. JMHO....
Making babies is the most pleasurable thing anyone can do in life. Yet, you want to take this away from them, strip them of their one free pleasure in life. It's a religious and cultural issue, not one due to lack of money and poverty. Obtaining birth control is not something that is all that easy in the Philippines. Something as simple as a condom can only be found in certain stores. And the negative stigma of using one runs deep in their culture.
@mariocruz1460 The problem is caused by lack of birth control and this is common pretty much everywhere in the world, except in the Phils, birth control is discouraged by the RC Church.
Yeah, you can, and should, blame the church for this sad state of affairs.
POVERTY IS A GLOBAL PROBLEM THAT THE GOVERNMENT AND NGOs ARE CONTINUING TO ADRESS. I'M VERY PROUD TO BE PART OF THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE HELPED STREET Dwellers FIND A NEW HOME, A PURPOSE, AND ASSISTANCE. This is a fact, and I hope your work will not just depict it but also provide a path forward for optimism.
I grew up and used to reside in Malate, which is next to Ermita, and the poverty level was nothing like as awful as it appears in the film. I have since left the nation and moved abroad. Things haven't improved at all and appear to have gotten worse. Dilapidated buildings and roads in disrepair, with waste strewn around. And to think that Ermita was once a popular tourist destination (particularly for Australians) due to its pubs and nightclubs.
