The Philippines is my favorite country in the world and I have been here more than 75 times. There is truly nothing like the Filipino spirit, their unparalleled warmth, and genuine hospitality. However, beneath this beautiful exterior lies a reality that cannot be ignored: the severe poverty in Manila. With over 40% of the city's 23 million residents living in slums, the conditions they endure are among the most challenging in the world.
In this episode, I venture deep into the heart of Manila's largest and most impoverished slum called Tondo. Here, I discover a community living along a heavily polluted bay and directly beneath the constant bustle of a busy highway.
Despite the heart-wrenching circumstances, the individuals we encountered are nothing short of incredible. Their stories and resilience are both inspiring and humbling. Through this journey, I hope to shed light on the incredible strength of the Filipino people and offer a glimpse into their daily lives. Join me as we uncover the true spirit that makes Filipinos the most resilient people in the world
More to come soon from the Philippines - I would love to hear from you in the comments down below on this story.

There are a lot of positive stories to share about the Philippines, which I’ve been doing since 2017 and will continue to do so because I love this country. But this one in specific is a story that I felt needed to be shared - thank you for watching and I look forward to hearing your thoughts and comments! 🙏🏼🇵🇭
o yes dady
Too bad politicians care about automobile exhaust more than cleaning the ocean, rivers, and land. It is much easier to start there in order for a better world. Clean mother Earth.❤ NOW do your part.
@@manmywifichill down dude
Yeah because our people are kind to foreigners but when filipinos saw filipinos its the opposite
You still going with my sis around downtown
The way that one man said "sorry for our place" broke my heart more :(
Yeah. Being hospitable is part of Filipino and most Asian cultures. If we feel we're not showing our guests the best, we feel bad about it.
😢😢
I understand that, also a sense of pride in the country. Please do not feel sorrow. A person with real understanding will know the situation..real caring people don't judge
Yeah, that was tough to hear.
@@phoenix5054 This is Pacific Island culture. Asians are usually suspicious of and indifferent toward strangers/outsiders.
the kid who said “sorry for our place” helping you move rocks so you don’t get your shoes wet🥺🥺🥺 what lovely people. so many smart and wonderful people living there i can only hope for a bright future for them all
Every time I start to feel bad about my life and struggles I come here and find the same people but 10x happier and vibrant. It’s crazy - the Philippines people are so so strong 🤌🏻🫶🏻
Yep ❤
Thank you,your correct.
Lol you don't know anything. They are hiding that pain by giving you a fake smile.
When one apologized for his home, and the driver at the end said he would fight for you 😢 heartbreaking. But the beautiful smiles and just hospitality of the ones who had little❤ If I had money I would send it all. Thank you Drew for you and your beautiful wife, for just being you and telling their story 💕💕💕💕
I've met people from all over the world, Philipinos are the most friendly people ever.
No Doubt
Not really tho lol
@@traveling_futurewhy do u say that??
only because you're foreigner. No different from many country kind to foreigners than their own
I am visiting Philippines in October and I booked a tour of this area for my Manila portion of the trip…very excited to visit the Philippines
Went to the Philippines a few years back. The people were the friendliest I've met out of the 60 countries I've been to so far. I stayed in Makati in Manila clueless that this place existed. 😢 Wishing them all safe times ahead.
theres the problem, Makati, you should venture out!
❤❤❤
Isn't Makati the most expensive place in PH to live? I had been to Cebu and other parts. They really are the friendliest people I've been in all countries I've been to. But seeing the kids living in poverty was hard to look at. Sometimes I wish I had the money mister beast had. Makes you feel powerless against a massive problem when you don't.
@@winterxx1555 MrBeast´s Money aint even a drop in the ocean to fix this Problem, its the stupidity of people. Dont make Kids if you´re freaking poor, is it really that hard to grasp?
I'm poor and from a poor country but I can't imagine living in a place like this. Love Filipino friends. 💪
As a Filipino myself, I have to say, it's a harsh reality.
I hope my country can, one day, meet a strong and responsible leader to let us rise out of the ashes.
Thank you for saying that this country is one of your favorite Asian countries, I really appreciate it :)
Same harsh realities abounds in the slums of Bangladesh, Nigeria, Brazil, Ghana and even Indonesia.
@@pietrojenkins6901 I feel bad for them too. For me, it's worse for them there.
May God bless every country impoverished in this world.
@@pietrojenkins6901 this video is about the philippines.
Their Jesus Christ made them do this kind of life😂
not everyone lives in the slums, the government right now is focusing on improving the lives of the working class... expect the slums to be ignored for another 6yrs
I’ve been to the Philippines multiple times. Some of the most friendly and amazing people I’ve ever met. That country will forever have my heart and I can’t wait to go back and visit.
thank you 🥰
Tumira at lumaki ako dyan sa Tondo, d2 mo makikita ang tunay na kaibigan, magulo nga noong mga hangang 80's pero depende sa uri ng taong dapat taluhin
Dami ko kamag anak at kababayan dyan...
"Pero depende" is literally Spanish 😂
@@javiersebastiamartinez2454they were colonized by Spain
@@javiersebastiamartinez2454yeah they were colonized by Spain
To those from 1st worlds. Do not misunderstand their smiles as, “aww they’re happy let’s do nothing”. No! As someone from poverty and had a smile, it NEVER meant I wanted to stay in poverty. I was lucky/blessed to escape poverty, about 98% will never escape. They NEED help
I'm Filipino American. I remember in the late 90s while I visited the PI we passed through the slums in Manila. The poorest Americans couldn't fathom the poverty there. But still the people there are in great spirits . That really humbled me.
Poor American is like Middle Class in PH
@@postymalony2404 But a lot of people in U.S. have to work 2 jobs just to rent a room....
@@planetz-976true. they live in a rat race culture,live in debt and overworked. its a different kind of poverty.
@@planetz-976 but still, the state of poverty is like heaven and hell difference if u compare the 2
Lived in Manila, the beers are so cheap its mindblowing...so the locals just drink, dance and make babies...happy times.
Filipinos are some of the kindest friendliest people in the world ❤ I’m Canadian, visited Manila in 2019.
Ur right if ur European or American they are very kind with you I'm working middle east 19 years 40% of them are Filipinos
If you are from Africa or south Asia Philipinos will treat you in a bad way sorry I'm not trying to discriminating this is my experience and not all but majority.they don't no what is the meaning of show gratitude who helped
@@real-vw7gpyeah agree, i was looking forward for the friendliest ppl in Manila.. But didn't meet one, even if I give tips not even a thank you was heard.. it was so weird maybe because I didnt have the white ppl look.. They kinda fantasize white ppl too much, so yeah..
@@real-vw7gp we're only friendly to the american because our american colonizer did a good job conditioning our mind through education and media, they colonized and exploited us economicaly and militarily yet somehow we still treat them like gods, because that's what our history book taught us, americans are friends and saviors, whenever a filipino president lean away from america, US destabilize their administration, like what happened with Marcos SR., Gloria and Duterte. We're just like every other colonized nation, friendly toward the whites, discriminating towards certain color
As a Filipino myself who lives in the province, I was never aware this is how extreme some of the situations in Tondo are. We were just told to not go there because it is dangerous. Being poor in the province mostly means one does not have a high-paying job but most families have farmlands, houses and a lot of "space and privacy". Sadly, many people from provinces venture out to go out to Manila to seek for jobs and sometimes end up being in slums when they cannot get one that pays enough for decent rent. I hope the government does something about giving more job opportunities to the provinces and lessen the wage gap between smaller cities/provinces and Metro Manila so that people won't need to crowd there.
I lived in the Philippines for more than 3 years. The people there are amazing. Thank you for exposing their lives.
They seem like really kind people, despite all the difficulties! Makes me appreciate my life!
Just ... whoa. I can't even comprehend this.
One thing I do know, is that I like to go on cruise ships and the majority of the crew, servers and staff are Filipino .... so many of them send money "home" to families and work so hard.
Thanks for sharing.
people in Tondo are always happy.. when I was in Highschool I have friends there and I even stayed in their house for a month and I
felt their warm hospitality.. those were the days I miss a lot.
They are the best people !!
Filipinos are always so friendly and welcoming! They love the camera!
Yes, they're not shy facing others. Not like others who shied away.
Until you messed with them then they will send you to Jesus or whatever your God is in no time
These people seem so happy and they have nothing that is Americans have and we are miserable people and never happy with what we have.
True realization
Yea right! We complain about being misgendered or being cancelled. Stupid shit! 💩
It depends on which Americans. Some are very grateful for all we have & love our country, while some are always miserable, perpetually "offended" & "outraged" & hate the US.
UK is exactly the same as the US
This is very true! On any given day, even the best of us can be miserable. Even folks with the most money can sometimes find it hard to be happy.
As a Filipino when we see a foreigner who has good intentions and is nice it's our instinct to just smile because it's universal and I love it!!!
Deanna has such a beautiful soul. Both of you are amazing!
I am Laotian and we live in heaven Thailand, Sad to see the Philippines living like these. Greeting form Laos🙂
ruclips.net/video/tqBmso9Mj6I/видео.htmlsi=XherkVCulKDi1vF0
This is also the philippines
You mean. Heaven of prostitution?
The is why you need to be open-minded and don't be stereotypical person. I don't blame you for being narrowminded, I just want to remind you that you are acting like that.
you are delusional LMAO just like in every country there is poor and there is rich including YOUR COUNTRY, in the philippines it just happens to be that the gap between the rich and the poor is too wide
It's only part of the Philippines. It's a slum area not necessarily mean it's the entire country. Widen your perspective. Don't easily believe what's on social media. I encourage you to visit the country and you'll see the difference. Been to Laos and Thailand and I've seen thing's similar to the slum areas in the Philippines. No hatred but educate yourself a little bit and travel more.
The sad thing is, many of these families don't know anything different.
And their attitude is still so positive. They seem so kind and friendly & happy. God bless them. 🙏🩷🙏
Brother drew. I hope to see here in my country before I left. I always watching your videos. Support here... Always. Brother drew
Here I am crying. What an amazing video. So much awareness thank you!
he walked right by the little boy digging in the trash off the ground and didn't even give him water. If it was america he would have stopped & found him water or food or even just some change.
I went to Manila and CDO for work many years ago. I love the Philippines. So many cool people.
As a person living in Vietnam, one of Philippines’s neighbors, I can now see how the country, although beautiful, is also a land full of poverty. I’m in shock rn.
Not all people in Tondo living in poverty. Some of them lived there temporarily because they don't want to rent or very cheap rent but if you communicate them deeper some of them have a nice property in nearby provinces. Laguna Cavite , Bulacan etc. Do you that the owner of condominium in Makati don't lived in Condominium or private subdivision but he lived in slum area I guess the name of the condominium is City Land if I'm not mistaken. Millionaire in the Philipoines don't drive Ferrari but wear slippers.. Living in the Philippines for almost 8years , All I can say most Filipinos don't flaunt whatever they have. Taho vendor have a 3 storiy house in Cavite. All his kids. are propessional .the owner of one of the private farm in Zambales lived in Tondo.
Many Filipinos nowadays are in middle class to upper class. Social media is too much.
That's a very small percentage of the population this guy's just want to hype it up 40 percent? Common more like 4 percent
I’ve only been to the Philippines once but what really stuck out to me was how nice and hospitable everyone was. Can’t wait to go back one day
Gosh, this is so sad to watch. I love Filipinos. I am from Papua New Guinea and there is one Filipino grandmother that treats us just like her own grandkids❤️.
We're better off than what's portrayed
ruclips.net/video/tqBmso9Mj6I/видео.htmlsi=XherkVCulKDi1vF0
Watching this makes me ever so grateful for what I have. I hope that this video brings awareness and helps these beautiful people. They seem so happy and friendly despite their circumstances. Thanks for sharing
One thing i have noticed about poor areas in developed countries like the USA and UK is that you can see the sadness in their faces. They dont ever sound positive. But in developing countries their poor people always seem happy. They know they are poor but will not allow that deter them from looking for happiness in small things. Any way its what i see from documentaries,i have never travelled before.
Tondo is one of the places ppl in Manila are told to avoid because of how dangerous it is. A lot of taxis and public transportation will not even take you there. Drew thank you for filming this because even though I have lived in Manila b4, I have never seen the deepest parts of Tondo shown in this video. It is hard to watch. However, these are the kinds of things we need to know about our world. Thank you for showing everyone the resilience, kindness, and spirit of the Filipinos!
Also, good job speaking Tagalog to the locals! :)
Tondo full of basura and poor people. Sad to say🥺
I am not filipino, but i notice when poor sides of these emerging countries are shown and like it or not then the people from these countries automatically gets look down on and the whole country and its people by virtue of race gets look down on even if they didnt grow up in that country. I am American oj Japanese descent and I had a visitor for business from India who is the son of a billionaire. When I take him out to restaurants and people would ask him where he is from because of his accent and he says India then i notice he doesnt get the same high level of service as when i take out business visitors from Japan. I have been to this guy's house in India and they even have a nightclub in their house and this Indian guy only knows luxury hie whole life. Perception is like a Pandoras Box...
ruclips.net/video/tqBmso9Mj6I/видео.htmlsi=XherkVCulKDi1vF0
I’ve been to the Philippines before, no doubt about it. The people there are amazing and super friendly. Love that place.
The world needs to open up their eyes, and hopefully be kinder, thanks for that beautiful video Drew.
Brother drew. I hope to see here in my country before I left. I always watching your videos. Support here... Always. Brother drew!
I’m there often and have a house in manila :)
@@drewbinsky Thanks for your reply brother drew. I'm happy for that. I'm planning to work abroad. Hope to see you in a right time and a right place. God bless always brother!
This is very humbling. Gives me goosebumps watching. Puts things in perspective. I live in United States and next time I'm having a " rough day " I will take a moment and realize there are literally a lot of people out there that have it way worse and yet still have a smile and positive attitude. Maybe as Americans we should pause and not take everything we have for granted and just be thankful and be kind to one another. This is how I choose to live. I try to always stay humble.
Thank you for making this video and bringing these beautiful people's stories to light. It deserves (and hopefully it gets) many more views. You and your wife's love for people shines through. This world needs more people like you!❤
Hey Drew it was seeing you visit your wife's country again. I got to say the Filipino people are so hospitable.
One best trait I brought from being a broke person from the Philippines to the USA is resiliency. And I can see that positive trait in the people of Tondo. High respect to the tricycle driver who is earning money with a decent work. No respect to any corrupt politicians or any businessman there who take advantage of the corrupt system for self-gain.
Philippines. Get there. It's awesomely awesome.
Truth!
Lol no it's proper dirty and repulsive
They're really friendly and all got amazing lives(stories) to share
What I remember about the Philippines was the noise from the buses and bikes. Coming from Shanghai, this was a very big difference. But it was a great experience
In China all of the bikes are electric now so they’re so quiet!
@@drewbinsky even the cars too. Everything is just quieter here. The noise in Manila was quite overwhelming the first couple of days. I would soon get used to it.
go to rural places not in cities
I love getting to learn about the world through your videos! It's fascinating to see what great and kind-hearted people are out there, bringing everyone together, despite what their living conditions may be.
Thank you, this is a reminder. Watching this makes me feel how grateful I am and be kind to those unfortunate people.
Such an eye opener for all of us.Fellow Filipinos still appreciate life despite their poverty.I pray they may have better lives one day.
My mother is also from Polangui (her surname was Sario). I am born, raised and currently living here at Tondo.
Life's simple joys, found in shared laughter, a warm meal, and the strength of family, can often outweigh material possessions. There's a quiet power in embracing what we have, a contentment that shines through even the toughest times.
A smile, though sometimes strained, becomes a shield against hardship. It's a silent message: "I may be struggling, but I'm still here, and I'll face tomorrow with a hopeful heart."
In the midst of scarcity, resourcefulness becomes an art. Stretching a peso further, finding joy in small victories - these are the hallmarks of resilience. It's in these moments that true strength is forged, a strength that comes not from wealth, but from an unwavering spirit.
But we are also in pursuit of being wealthy, even though we are contented. 😊
Watching this video makes me cry and my heart is literally sad. I hope that somehow, someday we will all live where poverty doesn't exist. I also wanna thank you for doing this vlog and extending help. Wishing you to have more blessings and your safety and your wife too. Happy to see you both.
Pray for trump to be the next president of the United States of America . It's the only solution
thank you for sharing these problems around the world and sharing awareness ❤
I was born and raised in Hawaii and have visited family in the Philippines several times over the years while on vacation. Yes there is slums in the PI and I've seen it but there is more to the country than what people see. The Philippines is one of the most beautiful Asian country that I've been to. Beautiful tourist attractions, the people are helpful and humble and the food is awesome. Also great shopping malls, one of the best in Asia. No country is perfect and I would not hesitate to visit the Philippines again.
Philippines people always smiling very happy always and always smiling
I'm your big fan sir drew stay safe ..mabuhay Philippines
Thank you for featuring the real Philippines like other vloggers.
This is still beautiful to us.
I mean unlike other vloggers.
Screw this RUclips dark mode
So many kindhearted beautiful souls, thank you for the video.
One thing about the filipino people they always happy no matter what the circumstances they have they always smile God bless you all the Filipinos ❤
This was such a beautiful video. How sweet and friendly these amazing people are, with so little to get by and most only needing food to be happy.Wow! This is eye opening. You’re a wonderfully kind person Drew Binsky. Thank you for always sharing such amazing insights on incredibly resilient people from amazing parts of the world. Hello from Johannesburg South Africa!
❤❤❤
The one lady that got teary eyed really moved me... Its amazing how we take such things for granted here in the US
I can't understand how the wealthy in Manila can live next to such poverty and not feel shame. 😢.
no offense but the blame shouldn't be on them alone. feeling ashamed because of that very reason is a bit cliche. its not the riches that force these families to live there and choose that kind of life
For them to be rich someone must be poor.
@@lashame1 The root cause is the practice of usury which is the scourge of modern states.
I hope you guys are grateful to live in America seeing how others live in other countries is just sad 😔
Drew great content!! Tuff to watch because my wife used to live in a squatters neighborhood when she was younger. We now live in Iloilo. A big upgrade from her previous live in extreme poverty in Manila.
You and Deana make a great team. Thank you for shining a light on the level of poverty we have here in the country. Though dirt poor, the people smile and are very hospitable. Mamaw is an inspiration and his story is multiplied by others who are as determined, resilient and hopeful all over the country.
as indonesia watch this it's look like see miror cause it's very similiar people, environment, etc 😅
“Sorry for our place, as long as we are happy” batba ganto tayu palagi
WHY THE BLOODY GOVERNMENT DOES NOT DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE POOR PEOPLE? THEY ARE ITS CITIZENS. IT IS A GOOD PART OF THE NATION. MAY GOD HELP THEM. I AM IMPRESSED FOR BEING SMILING AND LOOKING HAPPY. WONDERFUL PEOPLE.
The government provided housing for them but they returned to that area.
@@christophertubig8267That is true the people who gets a house provided by the government wouod either sell the house and go back to the slums. Then the pattern repeat itself.
the reason is called capitalism. if you're born wealthy you get to live a good life. if born poor you'll use to use all your salary to pay for food and rent (even if the thing you're renting is just a hole under the bridge). the worst poverty i've seen yet in south east asia was in laos, but that was completely different than in the video. in laos it's mostly in the remote villages, where every family owns their own simple wooden hut/house and they live a very traditional life with subsistance farming. on paper the people in laos are poorer because you don't need to earn money if you grow your own food, but life is surely better for them.
the government have been helping them. They have free healthcare with Philhealth and also beneficiaries of free housing but they return to the previous slum areas
The resilience of the Kabayan in trying times - inspiring, commendable but also heartbreaking - I feel for these people, love them xx
Of course you did.😉 Happy Saturday my brother. The most important thing is to stay safe❤
Reminds me of India. Friendly great people. Poverty, contrast, color , beauty and dispair
Pangarap ko para sa pilipinas, maubos na lahat ng mahihirap na pilipino, mabigyan sila ng maayos na karapatan bilang isang pilipino, pantay na pantay na karapatan para sa lahat ng pilipino 🙏🙏🙏
Respect to you Sir, my late grandfather wanted to be a Filipino citizen by choice, WW2 happened, he TDYed the family back to the keystone state, as a patriot stayed behind. Unfortunately it became permanent for my grandma who is Filipina & their kids when he was KIA in Corregidor . Please continue your stories of the PI, reiterating I have the greatest respect for you.
People there are very resilient and they developed resistance against bacterial decease infections. Sharp contrasts from where I am some people here die of peanuts.
Yep
These slim dwellers will to survive and care for each other is awesome considering all the hardships they face on a daily basis.
Looking like Mumbai/Lagos
I wish more people in the states saw videos like this. We’re so quick to complain about things and of course we all have our problems but look at how little these people have but how happy they are.
People don’t really think about this but the Philippines was the place under the rule do the Spanish (outside Iberia) for the longest time. As a lover of that period of history, I would love recommendations for books to learn about that period (and others) concerning Filipino history
Also weird historic fact that I find fascinating about this period, but the Filipino elite have Spanish blood
Im filipino but i’ve never seen tondo this close. Thanks for doing this video/story! I hope you feature more places in Manila
Awsome video Drew, I spent some time in this area last year and collaborated with a great charity called Bless the Children, I also made a RUclips video covering the topic
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Philippines is my favourite country in the world, breaks my heart seeing so many beautiful souls living such a low quality of life when they're some of the most grateful people
16:54 did i hear sister wife or was that maybe a disconnect in the language translation?
I think he meant that she's his wife's sister
I heard sister-wife. so sister's wife makes sense, unless they're mormon lol
There’s this beautiful movie called “Metro Manila” that shined a light on this for me, it was such a sad but great movie, I recommend anyone to watch it.
Watching this reminding how Privileged I am
Very true statement
grabe, ako mismo pilipino, pero di ko alam ganyan kahirap situation sa ibang parte ng bansa. Swerte na pala kami sa Mindanao, kasi kahit sa davao may slum community din naman pero di ganto kalala ang situation..
Wow, very impactful.
Thank you for showing PH in your vlogs. We appreciate a foreigner like you who loves to know about PH. 👍😊
The fact that they speak 2 languages speaks volumes!!!
Almost everyone in Philippines speaks English :)
When I went there, everyone told me how in schools growing up, they're only allowed to speak and learn in English, it's to help them get a career abroad or communicate globally.
@@chronofantasy1987Back in Grade School in some years we were forced to speak English all the time while in the classroom. The only exception is during Filipino language classes for obvious reasons. If you get caught speaking in another language you pay a 1 peso fine that goes into the class funds for the christmas party.
Every country other than UK and US speak two languages…
It's amazing the resiliency of filipino people. It's sad they have to survive in such conditions. Western people have no idea what real poverty is. I am retired here and try to assist when I can. Your videos Drew are always eye-opening and informative.
Reminds me of Mumbai. Why bring children into that world is my only question.
Condoms are expensive and lack of sex education
These young women with children at insanely young ages to have children have no sex education, no knowledge about birth control. They use sex as a way forget everything, and due to them being uneducated, they are clueless to the possible Financial and Psychological repercussions to having children without being prepared.
This is hugely the governments fault for ignoring a problem that has been going on for multiple administrations, focusing more on Infrastructure Projects. Being educated is a Human Right and its sad these humans dont have access to that.
I can't fathom that one either.
its not that hard to understand.. Its how nature/evolution/darwin works... increases odds of survival, that those offspring will take care of you and be smarter and surpass their parents in some cases, and adapt to newer environments.. Its how all these poor conservative cultures work, they tend to have a lot of kids from poor asians, to india, to the middle east to south america .. Europe/US were like this as well, mass producing under poor conditions.
once they evolve to a modern liberal society, where proper safety nets are installed, better living conditions, it becomes 0-2 children instead of 4-10 children of them.
I live in Santos, Brazil, about 80 km from São Paulo. Here there is the largest favela on stilts in Brazil, with around 25k people. I image the living conditions are very similar.
We do mission trips to the Philippines. There is a girls home in a condo in one of the high rises across from trash mountain. I stay with them and take them shopping for shoes, school supplies and groceries There is also a boys home. The youth pool their money and feed the kids on trash mountain and do a fun Christian program with them on Saturdays. I took about 16 youth to eat at Jollibee and was only about $42 US
That's lovely, Yeshua bless you
Drew, thank you for showing us different parts of the world. I love it when Deanna joins you for videos. She's a treat!
But everyone show India as poor country
Haven't been back home in over 10 years :( I miss PH so much.. My mom lives there now (retired) and does as much as she can for the community. Hope to visit soon. Thank you so much brother, stay blessed
When people don't work for whatever reason, and therefore have little money to spend, the one low cost entertainment/tradeable commodity tends to create many children.
Hmm I wouldn’t think of that being mutual for both the men and the women..
@@WunTuumax7 Well, sex for $$ or goods is an ancient form of commerce. Undeveloped areas with few medical resources, i.e. BC pills or abortion clinics = more babies and the cycle of poverty continues as the population grows generation to generation.
Having loads of children they can't afford is what keeps perpetuating this cycle of poverty.
Drew, you and your wife are beautiful souls. I've watched every one of your videos and they almost always bring me to tears. Keep doing what you do my man. God bless you!!
I'd rather be sad, but wealthy-rich and living a comfortable life than living in filthy slums
I love Filipinos. My daughter is 1/2 Filipina. They are a beautiful culture
This entire video will flip upside down when drew is grill Filipino, we Filipinos are nice to foreigners, but filipino to filipino, it's the opposite. But some of us are still nice
Not true, they are nice to my wife , who is Filipina :)
FR even filipinos meets filipinos in games they're fighting like mlbb
@@drewbinsky ye some of us are still nice
I AM A FILIPINO and there is absolutely no way I felt that way.
If you do, I think you must check and evaluate your circle, check what kind of people are you choosing to be surrounded with-- who makes you think negatively towards your own race. Having thoughts like that is kinda disturbing.
@@yella_c2I think that having to live in that environment would cause a lot of people to turn to crime and it is the same in all ghettos worldwide unfortunately but if they have no jobs then there is bound to be problems. 😢
The difference is money. You NEED money.
Money is a defense. We all need money. 🙏🏽
Knowledge 👌
I just have one question 😳 why do they keep on having kids??? Just why? Like clearly they are struggling to make a living, so why the heck would u wanna bring another human being to this mess... honestly i dont get it
If you have children then there is someone to take care of you when you get old and cannot provide so having children is like planning your retirement
@@frederickmoody7570 Doesnt sound like a smart plan to me... reproducing to have a servant... wow ok, i thinkim gonna pass on that one !
Watching this makes me open my eyes that I should be grateful for what I have. I am grateful that I live in the province where even though we are not that rich but atleast we can plant something to eat and there are relatives that helps my family when we have nothing.
Romanticising poverty.
What an amazing video, we absolutely loved visiting Sampaloc whilst we were in Manila just recently and felt compelled to give back a bit also. I was even confused by local and told that I looked like you as well 😅 I'll take it as a compliment!
This is such an important video to spread the awareness of the conditions some people are having to live in. You are so kind to have given those people the money. We hope they manage to use it for good in their lives ❤
