Philippines - Manila
Manila transit to Davao City.
My taxi driver, Mr Jovanie, a very careful and chatty young man.
He would lock the car doors whenever we were on the road.
He said that was necessary for our safety, as people in Philippines are allowed to carry guns.
He drove me to buy my connection flight ticket.
Due to domestic flight timing, my connection to Davao City had to delay for a day.
Without choice, I asked my taxi driver to suggest a budget hotel for a night.
Since I did not know where to go, I paid him to be my tour guide.
He told me about the problems Filipinos were facing.
One of them was the over populated street children.
Many of them were either from broken families or simply escaped home due to abusive parents.
He and his sister, who was a teacher, helped the street children.
His sister conducted lessons for the children.
He gave them food.
Pictures are provided by him.
What future do all these children have when they grow up?
Will they be doing the same as what their parents had done on them?
Will the cycle repeat?
Does anyone ever give a thought for this over populated group?
Nice, hope the children will do the same thing as what the dirver and his sister do.
