ZAMBOANGA CITY (Mindanao Examiner / 06 Mar) A 12-year old Muslim boy tags his younger brother to beg for money and food in Zamboanga City in the southern Philippines. He says he lives in the Muslim enclave of Rio Hondo, one of the poorest in Zamboanga, now branded by local politicians as Asia's Latin City, because of influence and culture left behind by Spaniards after occupying the Philippines.The boy says he and is brother go out every morning and returns later in the night, when they is enough money to buy a kilo of rice. His father died a long time ago and his mother does the laundry and takes care of their shanty in the village.Many Muslim villages in Zamboanga City have been neglected because most of the government projects are concentrated in Christian areas. Help does not come easy for people like them in the so-called Asia's Latin City.(Mindanao Examiner)

poverty is everywhere not only in zamboanga.. i've seen worse. it's the parent's fault! it's always the parent's fault that you get to see something like this on the streets! parent's are to blame! always! also... laziness and procastination is the roots of poverty.

Hi Leo,Have not seen the kids. I took this video outside the Wise Buy supermarket and since then have not seen him. But there are many kids in Zamboanga who are fighting each day to survive the harsh reality of being a poor. I know dole-out is not the answer, but the situation sometimes calls for it. Poverty exists because there is not enough jobs for everybody. How I wish we could help more of these poor children and we cannot wait for the government to act on these problems.

Your idea of the government giving fund for foodstamp is not good kasi hindi sa lahat ng araw magagamit ng mga tao ang food stamp na iyan...e paano ang bukas o mga susunod na araw! one more thing, nakakatamad sa mga tao yang pag bibigay ng mga food stamp na ganyan. I'm not arguing with you, I'm just adding more ideas... For me, Dapat pag isipan ng government kung paano mabibigyan ng trabaho yong mga magulang ng mga batang yan, para may mapakain cla sa mga anak nila sa araw-araw. Do you agree?
