Professional squatting syndicate

Ang gulo na sa malapit sa Trinoma. Nagbabatuhan na demolition team at mga squatter.

[a3n3as]

Iwas na lang kayo sa SM North - Trinoma area baka weeks pa ang itagal ng demolition. Sana maubos na rin mga yan para mapakinabanggan naman ng gobyerno natin ang lupa at mabawasan ang crime rate sa lugar na yan.

Good for the people of QC. Ang tanong saan na naman lilipat ang mga to.

YouTube - How an Economy Grows and Why It Doesn't (by Irwin Schiff)

nice find!

[jimnyeatworld]

noon bata ako naisip ko makaimbento ng teleportation gun, yun tipong babarilin mo ang isang squatter colony habang tulog sila sa gabi tapos paggising nila sa umaga yun colony (along with their makeshift houses, things, clothes) nila nasa tuktok na lang ng bundok ng cordillera. syempre, magagalit sila pero at least walang bloodshed diba? some of them babalik sa area kung san mo binaril ng teleportation gun, and then magtatayo ulit. the next night, barilin mo ulit, i-set mo naman sa isang bundok sa mindanao. ngaun ewan ko lang hanggang san sila tatagal kapapababalik sa Metro Manila eh ang mahal ng pamasahe ngaun

well, that's just the baby steps for being an austrian economist

ayus pala kung naging theoretical physicist ka:rofl:

[tidus1203]

By the way Irwin Schiff is Peter Schiff's dad... Peter Schiff is a very well known Austrian economist... Ako din my economic thinking is Austrian school. I think Keynesian economics is flawed and its showing right now...

This literally made me LOL!

I don't comment too much on squatters anymore. I had an I wish the earth would swallow me whole moment when my Tita and I were talking about how squatters area are an eyesore when I suddenly realised that our driver lives in a squatters area. I was so embarrassed. I don't get how he'd live there when he gets at least 10k net per month. Iniisip ko kasi mga nasa squatter yung mga walang trabajo, magnanakaw at addict pero may mga working din diyan.

[safeorigin]

lahat kasi ng tao gusto libre. wala nang libre, sila pa magrereklamo. daig pa yung nagbabayad

actually most minimum wage earners live in squatters areas

construction workers, factory workers, salesladies, etc

[tidus1203]

Yep marami ding minimum wage earners umuupa sa mga squatters area kasi galing probinsya opa sila...

[_Cathy_]

May hierarchy din talaga sa poor. The nerve of those "landlords". They don't own the land they are renting out. I don't get it. Isn't 10k net enough to rent a decent apartment?

Meron ba may idea sa hierarchy of the poor kasi may napanood ako na docu na kumakain ng dagang Maynila yung mga squatter tapos yung iba hindi na kumakain.

Yung driver namin nakatira sa squatter English pa mag text at nakabarong pa parati! LOL!

I think some are "forced" to live in colonies because mahirap mag hanap ng cheap housing with a good location close to work. There's a dilapilated apartment beside us that's prone to floods but always fully occupied. May isang unit crowded by 5 employees from ABS-CBN.

[uls]

no 10K isnt enough

magkano apartment?

how much will be left for food and other expenses?

i'm sure may pamilya siya

ilan anak niya?

He only told me about his son who owns a jeepney. His wife works as a seamstress. Not sure how many kids he has but he looks and acts very decent not like how squatters are stereotyped on TV.

What I can't fathom is if a man earns 10k net month and lives in the squatters area, how much more for those who do not work at all? How the hell do they survive??? They can't eat rats the whole time.
