    I went to the PH 10 years ago and Be-friended a family, I built them a nice house, cost me $25,000. I still send $200 to $600 every 3 to 4 months. I've never told anyone I did this until now, hoping to set an example. These kids break my heart. Pay it forward my friends.

      Blessings to you for I have and currently still do this not on the scale of building a house but I bought a filipina woman and her son a new Honda moped, rent for a store and $ to stock with goods to sell so she can be more self reliant...I also send about $300 per month and this helps this poor widow and her 7 year old son tremendously because there are no jobs there, most people are VERY VERY POOR and no opportunities for a 37 year old woman with no degree. I don't make much myself but what I do make is more than enough so I'm happy to make a positive difference in another's life.

      When I was a child I worked hard . My father taught us many things and how to work for everything. I grew up learning to appreciate what we had and it was a humbling reward . We didn't have video games. Electronics. Or the latest designer clothes. We never questioned our gender. Never sat in front of a television all day. Americans are spoilt rotten. These children and their families deserve what an American could sell their gold for. 😢

    I'm a gold prospector myself. I target isolated locations deep in the desert, far from water or even shade. There's cougars, rattlesnakes, gila monsters, a dozen poisonous insects to avoid, the occasional pack of rabid coyotes, and what not. There's no cell signal, so if things go south, you're on your own. Needless to say, I outfit myself with the best equipment. After watching a little boy wearing 2 dollar slippers on his feet, lugging 200 pounds of gravel 60 meters under water with a an aquarium hose in his mouth, I realize I'm a punk.

    8 hours hauling 450kg of rocks off the ocean floor by hand for an average of 1g of gold split 10 ways and worth only 50% of the spot price in takehome, presumably after operating costs and discounts of selling to middlemen. That works out at 0.05g of gold for an 8 hour underwater shift on oily compressor air.

    Why does the gold they mine sell for so much less than the world markets pay. Here in the USA it sells for over $2000 per ounce. 28 grams. $71.42 per gram. Its absolutely criminal. Unfair. Unjust to pay these people such small amounts. If they hold there gold for a fair buyer the thieves giving them such small amounts per gram will find out whats fair. 😢God bless these poor people

    These children are working hard for their families but I don’t see this as pure child labor as they are trying to do what their fathers, grandfathers did, and more that they believe they should support their families. However still a very tough life.

    11:49- Jesus!, a full days work for 2 dollars. I used over 2 dollars electricity today just from touching my computer watching youtube videos and playing games. 2 dollars for 8+ hours of work wouldn't even replenish the cost of calories I lost. 22:53- Corrupt place when you can count on one hand the amount of people that are allowed to do gold business legally, talk about a monopoly.

    Air compressor can make a person with decompression sickness and this is really dangerous... Once am one of the financier for this small scale mining in the area,but I stood to stop it because of various reasons, unfair trading for gold was the first reason... Middle men usually has the biggest profits and didn't care about the affairs of the small and poor people that risk their life for the hand to mouth survival in the area...😢😢😢
    Seeing this documentary reminds us how this precious yellow metal is all about between the Rich and Famous, and the Poor and Less Fortunate People... it's an EYE OPENER to all of us....

      You do the same thing when getting certified as a scuba diver except you don't use a hose, it's a regulator. Kind of crazy watching them do that though and knowing they can't see anything either.

    Going down into the mud hole. Hell no. Scarey stuff. I thought the mum was very smart when she said she hoped to find a enough gold to buy a motor for their boat to collect nipa palm faster to weave and sell. That seems so much safer, profitable and reliable. Great video all in all.

      The more accurate the scale, the more she has to pay them. By her keeping that scale, she is likely making small gains here and there, it all adds up over time, more profit for her, less for them.
