    this happened to me sa side ng edsa boni serrano ave. Wala talaga akong barya, katok ng katok yung batang babae (around 5years old). So kinatok ko yung window para sabihin na wala pero ayaw nya umalis. Nung wala talaga, sinigawan niya ako ng "DAMOT!!! PAK U!" tapos sabay alis.

    if only it were their hungry stomachs they wanted to fill, then giving food would not be a problem. thing is, most of these beggars are members of a syndicate that 'distributes' them all around the metro and collects a percentage of their daily umm earnings.

    one time, may lumapit sa amin, sumesenyas na humhingi ng pera pambili daw ng pagkain (kunyari deaf-mute daw-di ko lang alam kung talagang deaf mute yon). that time i had some pandesal with me(snack ko), binigay ko. tinapon lang sa daan. sa sobrang inis ko gusto kong babaan at batukan e! kaso nag green na...

    kaya nga karamihan sa kanila ayaw ng pagkain kasi pera ang kinukuha sa kanila ng mga syndikatong humahawak sa kanila. usually ako kinakatok ko bintana ko para matigil na sila ng kakakakatok. sinubukan ko one time yung abante style, sinundan pa din ako. katok sa bintana pa din usually sakin nagwo-work.

    ang alam ko may utos na si chairman bayani tungkol sa pag huli sa mga beggars na yan eh. hindi naman sa wala tayong sympathy sa kanila, pero karamihan sa kanila ang lalakas pa o d kaya mga sobrang bata na dapat wala sa kalya at pag nasagasaan mo pa dahil sa pagiging careless nila, sagutin mo pa.

    Sayang lang pagkain, tinatapon lang nila. Yung iba g*go kasi talaga, yung iba naman baliw and they have these wierd consipiracy plots in their heads kesyo may lalason sa kanila, etc.

    Nagbigay ako ng piso dati. Di pa sumasara bintana ko, binato ulit sakin. Akin na lang daw!

    Kaya hindi na lang ako nagbibigay totally.

    Alam ko bawal magbigay sa naglilimos e. I mean pwede ka huliin ng pulis for that. But the thing is they should get rid of the beggars. Yun ginawa sa akin yan before sa Rizal Avenue where they left a soap patch sa windshield, nakakaasar talaga, but then it reminded me to keep my temper down, i mean i can always wash the soap away pero sila mas malaking problema nila. Di ako nagbibigay ng limos but instead bumibili ako nung mga basahan para at least may kitain yun mga street vendor.

    bakit nyo kami nilalait? mahirap lang kami

    actually nangyari din yan sa akin. bagong carwash pa ako. so binuksan ko bintana then sinigawan ko yun bata, natakot at tumakbo. sa SM centerpoint banda yan. mukhang dyan nga ata ang tambay ng pipitsugin nilang sindikato

    don't give alms... most of them are members of syndicates... I've seen a few being dropped of by their masters... or commutting in packs to their "work place".

    try giving regularly to world vision instead (P450/month only):
    http://www.worldvision.org.ph/

    at least you know where your money goes... your sponsored kid will even corresond to you and you'll get updates on what is his/her status.

    though minsan, kapag matanda at nakaka awa na talaga... I give food.

    Isang favorite spot din dati ang sa Katipunan-Boni Serrano... got inured to the sight of them because halatang sindikato... that place is very far away from most squatter's areas, and parating may bulag doon... at nagbabago pa yung bulag na nandoon every week... nakakaduda.

    But I can't help but feel for some of those people forced into that life. We had a special student at one school (deaf-mute) who had to do that every day after class. Imagine his teacher's surprise when she saw him on the streets and still in uniform! She scolded him and told him to at least change first!

    Remember, for every "walang kuwentang" beggar out there, there are actually another two or three that we don't see who are actually in need and are trying to dig out of that hole. But better to give to organized charities and public schools (they really need our help... some of them are no better than slums!) than to give to the ones on the street... so as to encourage these kids to go to school instead.

    EDIT: hehe... naunahan ulit ni M2... okay nga yung worldvision... but also try to see what you can do for public schools in your area... just don't give stuff that will tempt some of the unscrupulous employees there to steal it...

    Yung mga nasa Ortigas alam na alam mong syndicate-run... same group ang rotation nila eh, hehe meaning, the same 2-3 beggars will rotate between the intersection of Meralco/Ortigas - Shaw/San Miguel Ave - Julia Vargas/Meralco etc...

    yun mga matatanda nakakaawa kaya minsan binibigyan ko sila kasi sa edad nilang yun hindi na dapat sila nag gaganun.

    May nakwento sa akin officemate ko dati na yun mga bata na sumasampa sa jeep pag hindi mo daw binigyan duduraan ka pa. tsk tsk tsk

    sa coastal naman intersection papunta sa airport may nagpunas sa salamin ko ang dumi ng basahan bingyan ko na tuloy para wag na tuloy ang pagpunas. Ayus kala ko nagasgas buti nawala din

    yung manang na naglilimos samin once a week dati, nakita ng secretary namin sa bangko napapalit ng barya , that was a couple of years ago di na namin nakikita.

    Meron naman pipe daw, nakita nanaman ng secretary namin sa may avenida may kausap

    Usually sa mga naglilimos office eto yung mga entrada:
    - nasunugan
    - may sakit ang anak
    - dating macho dancer na may sakit

    matindi yung nasa kanto ng mia road and coastal. one time me lumapit sa kin iniwasan ko na hinabol pa ung kotse, lumipat na ko ng lane hinabol pa ulit tapos binawal ko na di rin nagpapigil may isa pang tumulong. kakainis pag umuulan kasi me sabon yung pinupunas nila sa windshield. nag-try na rin ako tawagin ung attention ng mmda dun pero wala naman silang pakialam. walang silbi mmda dun sa area na yun, ang alam lang nila manghuli ng mga namamaling mag-uturn dun.

    So how can we really tell the needy ones from the ones that are not?

    Its better to give than to receive.

    Proper sa reputable institutions na lang natin ibigay yung mga tulong.

    naalala ko nung nag aaral pa ako sa CSB, frosh pa ako nun sa AKIC classroom namin. Nakakainis yung mga bata na bigla nalang maglalambitin sayo and hindi ka bibitawan hanggat di ka nagbibigay ng money.
