Batang Kalabaw


As i watched this video. I saw children that walking for 4 hours with no slippers in a muddy road to get the wood. Cherrilyn Villaseran, a 14 years old girl was the leader of "Batang Kalabaw." Everyday, they carry 15 kilos of wood for 4 hours. They are 13. One wood is equal to P1.50 . If the wood get dirtied it will be rejected. My reaction to this, is mixed up of annoyance and pity. Annoyance because of the buyer of the wood. She didn't even know how heavy were they carrying to give such P1.50. and Pity because, they are just child who cannot even attend school, and everyday they always carry 15 kilos of wood. That's what my reaction.

Batang Mansisibak


As I'm watching the videos reported by Cesar Apolinario, The "Batang Mansisibak" it burndened my heart, it feels like i pity them because of what they are doing. Every morning , the siblings, Arnold Garcia and Buboy Garcia wake up early to just collect trashes from Manila Bay to help they're parents. They drunk polluted water just for the trashes. The people there named them, "Batang Basura." 6 years of trading. They just get P10.00 a day. Sometimes, I just want to help them.
