    brus,

    kelangan ko ng english translation para dun s mga kariton boys (magbabakal, magbobote, etc). yoko nung masyadong degrading na term like scavenger or the likes kasi not all of them are really scavenger. i am thinking of something like small scale independent waste segregators hehehe. am using it for research. tnx.
