Desperately wading through neck-high sludge surrounded by trash, rubble and filth, a pair of homeless Filipino men begin the search for their belongings hours after a catastrophic fire savaged hundreds of shanty town houses.

Legitimate Landowners are now burning down Squatter areas, instead of fighting them in the useless courts.

Yung isang pic sa link,yung mama habang lumalangoy sa dumi may yosi pa sa bibig. Naisip ko, kung ganun siya kahirap at kailangan niya pa gawin yun just to recover whatever he can sa ganung karuming tubig, nakayanan pa bumili ng yosi

Why aren't we so shocked?

I am a Filipina. And believe it or not, the pictures that you have seen is a common scenery in the metropolis of this country. It's actually absurd as because once you come here, you can find exclusive villages where some of the riches dwell. On the side or rather on the same walls of these villages though you can find the slums (our local term is sqatter) building their homes from scraps. Literally the only thing that separates them are the walls. If you have heard of Alabang village, thats where the rich people dwell, while Alabang gilid is the place for slums. Population is a grave issue here, increasing geometrically every minute. Unfortunately measures like passing a Reproductive Health Bill here are being shunned by narrow minded people. The Catholic Church on the lead as of the moment there is an on going bill in the congress, hopefully this will be okayed and made into law. Another issue here is corruption.

The Phils is a corrupt and cynical State - a basket case of self pitying whingeing. The overseas workers should go home and take over their poor country, and make it work properly In the meantime - they all get the State they deserve.
