New Technique in Getting Rid of Pesky Street Beggars

[mazdamazda]

Naka hinto ako sa traffik along congressional, crossing ng mindanao. May dalawang makulit na bata na sayaw nang sayaw sa gitna ng daan. Tapos after a while, tumutuktok na sa window ko kasi yung mom ko nag tetext so kita niyang may ilaw.

Winave off ko nung una, pero ayaw. This usually works naman pero makulit. Usually, iaabante ko ng mabilis sabay brake para umalis. This time, since walang incoming traffic mula sa likod, PAATRAS kong ginawa.

Ayun, sapul sa ulo yung batang isa. Ang kukulit sobra kasi! Tapos yung isa sayaw pa nang sayaw at todo porma pa kahit naka green light na...

[RedHorse]

naka rugby ang mga iyon!

high na high

wag mo na lang pansinin, maiinis ka lang

[GlennSter]

hmmmmm.....thats kinda mean...

[OTEP]

Yup. Dami diyan rugby boys huwag mo na lang pansinin.

May nag-attempt pa ng suicide saken diyan dati. Yung Montero ang dala ko. Biglang lundag sa harapan ko habang mabilis ang takbo ko. Nakaiwas naman ako. Buti na lang...

[badkuk]

wag mo na patulan un...baka mapano pa e ikaw pa ung ibintang...

me nakita nga si ma sa bantay bata where this "mother" had a habit of actually throwing her kids onto oncoming traffic...pag tinamaan ng kotse, jackpot!

kaya konting ingat lang when driving through matao na lugar.

[pajerokid]

Relax John. Pag may nangyaring masama diyan pare, kahit kasalanan nila, ikaw pa rin liable. Best avoid the trouble man!

[mbt]

over naman ata yung bundulin mo yung bata. what good reason do you have for deliberately hitting the kid other than them smudging your windows a little bit (which isn't even a remotely good one)?

i mean, sure the children can be nuisances at times, but that doesn't mean that you can lord yourself over them like that. :confused:

[boybi]

ako pag kumatok sila sa window, kinakatokan ko nalang din. minsan deadma nalang, parang walang naririnig.

[kiper]

badtrip ung napupunas ng trapo.

sarap pauwiin sa bahay nila. ---> yan ha..di na violent..ehehe

[mazdamazda]

nakaka buset... kasi sabi na ngang wag na tapos ayaw pa umalis... lalo na nung nakitang may ilaw ng celfone... lalong kumulit...

teka... akala nyo ba bundol ang ginawa ko???

nudge lang naman!!! hindi man lamang yata naramdaman ng loko... di naman ako ganun ka violent... huhuhuhu...

Hehe..., ginawa ko na ito dati... Kumatok din yung bata...

[sHoCkAbSoRbEr]

Last time sa may Sucat Road, binigyan ko na ng 2 pesos yung bata tapos nung biglang GO na nakisabit pa sya sakin sa hagdan ng satrex sa likod, kala nya siguro close na kami porke binigyan ko sya ng 2 pesos. Minsan kakainis din kasi pagnahulog naman sila kasalanan ko pa.

Nagwowork din naman sakin yung kakatok lang sa window, tapos aalis na sila.

[badkuk]

pag binigyan mo ng pera/food/anything ung mga bata, malamang tatawagin nya lahat ng kaberks nya...before you know it you'll have a mob of unruly street kids at your window

When you give money to street kids, you are in fact encouraging that behavior -- a behavior which puts them at risk of getting hit by cars

kung gusto po ninyong makatulong, please course your donations/efforts/etc through the proper channels...for one thing, pwedeng sa sindikato napupunta ung limos mo(so you are, technically, financing criminals)...kung di naman, kung anu ano na lang ang pinambibili (paputok pag xmas time)

peace B).

[edzzz]

badtrip ung Linis Windshield Gang. Lalo na ung dalawa, tatlo pa sila. ung isa mag sasabon, ung isa magbabnlaw, ung huli magpupunas. Grrrrrrrr!!! Kahit kakalinis mo lang ng kotse.

Once we were parked in a gasoline station, I think it's Shell... We were going to the airport and my uncle was outside, checking something... Then there were three boys (apparently, they're street children) were knocking on the windows... They were holding rugs... When no one gave something to them, they wiped the front of the car... it got sooo dirty!!! then they were laughing and watching my reaction... I stared angrily at them while they ran away, laughing and completely satisfied with what they did...

There was another time: it was in the boundary of Makati and Pasig... We were waiting for the signal light to turn green so that we can turn right... My car has a tint but it can somehow see inside... So the kid approached us and were pointing at the Mc Flurry I have in the cupholder... My driver told many excuses to the children, but indeed I am almost over eating my ice-cream... So there... The kid made angry noises outside and were knocking really, really hard at the windows... The kid even went to my side of the vehicle and continued his pounding... Meanwhile, I sat there like I don't notice anything... It's a good thing the lights turned green after a few seconds...

I'm not too sure about this. From the psychological standpoint, giving a reward - whether this is money or candy - will simply encourage their act. It's a classic Pavlovian reflex. Let's face it. The kids are not supposed to be on the street, much less be begging on the street. They're a traffic hazard. Furthermore, what they do poses a danger to themselves. Their habit of begging should not be reinforced or rewarded in whatever way. It is only at the point when nobody gives them anything will they stop doing it. Why do you think they continue begging? It's obviously because they make money out of it. If they didn't make money from it, they wouldn't beg. And from what I know, it's not "laman ng tiyan" that they buy. It's rugby. So your coins are actually contributing to their substance dependence.

[groucho]

Whatever it is you're giving....whether it is money or food.....you're sending the wrong signal to these street children. You're practically telling them that you tolerate their behavior and that it's okay to beg. You are perpetuating the problem and teaching this next generation of Filipinos the wrong sense of values.

I am shocked at the poor sense of values of these kids. Shamelessly begging! Whatever happened to dignity and self-respect? Certainly, when we give to them as they beg on the street, we are not teaching them dignity and self-respect. Then, when they grow up and become the scum of the earth, we complain about them. But then again, think about it. We were instrumental in making them turn into the scum of the earth.
