Ask Benigno Aquino about being wealthy? Oh wait, he was assasinated in 1983. You are wealthy if you were a Marcos supporter or appeared to be and in the upper middle class. Speak out against him at the time and you are killed. The poor has always been poor in the Philippines. This is not the only country that faces this situation. The politics in the Philippines is volatile and deadly, but it’s difficult to really oversee a nation that has a diversity spread across 7000+ islands. Not making excuse for nations that have terrorists in certain areas, but looking at Mindanao (this comes from information from the web I read about a few years ago) it was a region mostly occupied by Muslim people, which my co-worker argued that it was always Philippine majority (do your own research). You can’t help but go to drastic measures when your land and beliefs get taken away. Look at the most recent conflict between Israel and Palestine (look at what the maps were like over time) Palestine has lost almost all its land to Israel. Sorry went way off topic, but history repeats itself and dominant cultures and leaders usually prevail and be the wealthy ones. Communism is a facade, a true communist state would not have one wealthy person, why does it have Oligarchs? Shouldn’t they stand in food line with everyone and get paid the same amount? hmmm… sorry my $0.34. About the video @qadventures I liked it, but for me, it would’ve been good to get approval from a parent or guardian or an adult first. If I had children, I personally would not allow direct questioning of my children without my approval… you should ask yourself if you would personally allow anyone to question your child and post a youtube video about it online. Disregard if you did have approval. Aloha and mahalo!
When we talk about the social problem in Philippines to day, we are not talking about their idea, we are talking about their lives the reality of their life.

Thank you for all you do.
I can’t believe these kids are basically raising themselves without parental support – and yet they seem to be very well behaved and respectful of their elders. Good luck helping these kids out since they appear very worthy of your assistance.
@@patriciaflahertynowhere NEAR…even most of the poorest of Americans will ever even begin to imagine this kind of poverty in the Philippines… I’m grateful everyday to be a “poor” American
i may be wrong and it would not be the first time, but most of these people on YouTube survive by subscribers and viewers donations,therefore it would not be their generosity but the viewers and subscribers.
Derek 👍👍👍I hope you can help this girl get her papers, as I know not having them will only make her life more difficult.
I wouldn’t be surprised if you look around that there are many more kids like this.
if you find it’s a common issue perhaps you can petition the government authorities to have 1 day every 2-3 months where they operate outside their normal hours to make it possible parents to resolve these types of issues.
You might even find that by getting more kids registered it improves the funding situation for the schools as often government school funding is based on the number of know kids in the area. If that’s the case getting better funding for the school might help all the kids in the area 🤞
What a beautiful girl, inside and out. That place needs fixing. Hopefully the roof is still well supported. Those holes can be patched easily with tar aluminum tape. Breathing in moldy air can’t be good.
Hi Rob. I apologize if we made an appointment to meet, but I don’t have anything in my calendar that I have a meeting today. I am also attending to Ken today as we have received notification of his petition approval yesterday so my day is filled
Such a nice happy girl I hope she gets everything she needs for school and everything in life it is so sad her situation but she has a good outlook on life already and she is very positive and happy I pray for her her and her family I thank you Derek and AI for seeking her out and helping her you guys are good people and I will continue to watch your videos Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for everything you both do sincerely Dennis James from New Jersey
There are so many houses in that shape over there . People in the west have no idea what real poverty is ! I never did until I started going to the Philippines it’s heart breaking . My wife and I take care of a disabled little girls needs and help her grandparents out every month with food and clothes . I think you have found your calling in life with your channel helping people out and I pray that your channel grows huge so you can keep helping people that really need it your doing the lords work helping out the people you do . I truly believe you saved Kens life bless you for your kindness and helping humanity . Need more people like you in the world .

Although I have said on camera I will give the mother 1k to get her birth certificate, and I did…
My motive is to help individuals and families to become independent; not just throw money into a situation with hopes of the problem going away without a plan. I am still trying to solve her birth certificate issue
Hello Derrick, Ken appears to be unsecured but still open to talk and speak her mind out. Watch your blogs and note she is subconciously
Covering her face ( mouth & nose ) as you’re talking to her. Her eyes 👀 tells me she is smart and knows what things are all about around her. Thank you for reaching out to try and get them pointing in the right direction.
You are absolutely correct. She is clever and conscious about her surroundings which fascinated me. She covers her lower face.due to her dental neglect and hygiene.
One thousand to be able to have her birth certificate is not enough. Maybe, around P3K will get the job done. Fare & some copies, xerox to be prepared included.Let us hope some generous followers can help this poor child.
Unfortunately her parents are a product of poverty. Which causes them to continue the cycle of poverty. I’m sure many don’t have the ability to think of things down the line for their future benefit. And of course, the kids pay the price.
Last year I’ve spent 4 months in Cebu. When I saw the people, the misery all around I’ve said to myself and to others, what the hell all the Europeans and American colonists came there for? Was any gold in the banana trees they came for? I hate the colonists and the politicians of those country who came to exploit, kill and make the life of these people more miserable. The only help could come from within for these people, a communist government like in China or Vietnam to draw some economic development plan for these countries and people because capitalism is not working and it will never change the life of these people. Unfortunately any country that will try that will meet the US intervention to kill such good intent like they usually do allover the world…sad…
How is Japan and South Korea doing today? And Communism is NEVER the answer. I’ll tell you what the problem is with the Philippines. Its CULTURE. Whoever tells you otherwise, ask them for your money back.
Bleach removes the appearance of mold but does Not destroy it! To destroy mold at its root you need to use a gallon of white vinegar, remove enough to make room to add a bottle of hydrogen peroxide. Mix together. This will kill the mold/mildew.
They look at it as cost and time they don’t have. It’s purposeless anyway, invest all that time and mold will come back in weeks due to climate and tropical climate here
Derrek, any way you could carry around a bit of kibble for these poor animals? I know there are greater problems at work there, but just a couple handfuls of some dry dog food? I know the vid isn’t about that topic. But when a family can’t feed itself then any pet, especially one that can’t go scavenging for food really is forced to suffer.
Unfortunately, the parents had other ideas after accepting our money. It is sad, but she is only 12 and nothing we can do if the parents do not want to cooperate. We will be helping her older sister with a business and maybe the sister will help her
There are so many kids on the street and living in houses etc just like this. It is a big issue in the Philippines. I can’t wait to get back into the Philippines so I can help my family more and help others. Your doing a great helping people. Your heart is big. You see so many issues in the Philippines because it is right in front of your face there. Here in the states it seems to be here but hidden. Go to Metro Manila near Baclaran church and see how many kids are without parents housing food etc. Walk the over passes near any major malls you see the same it is a big crisis.
It’s ok now. My original video with EdMarie is precisely the same as this one except for the person on camera.
However, may I ask you to send me a private message via whatsapp or messenger in case for the future I need such assistance? Both platforms are +1-1-626-626-6347

Derek why do the children keep rubbing their noses?
That’s what we gave her mother P1,000 to do, late registration. A little more than her daily salary so she has an incentive
Nervous tick. Her English ability is extremely limited and she was really self conscious

Philippines used to be wealthy, when Marcus was president.
It was all on borrowed gold and then he stole the gold and took it to Hawaii..
Now the son has it..
At least Marcos was wealthy
