description
This woman was in the market area of Baclaran in Manila. There are young and old beggars in Manila, but more vendors and merchants. They often sell things car-to-car in the congested streets.

Yes, it breaks our heart each time we see pictures like these, but this condition is not local to Manila, or Philippines in general. We saw similar scenes in NYC, in Athens, in Montreal, in Sao Paolo, and even in Frankfurt [we always thought Germans are well off]. Please do not dramatize it, as if poverty only happens in the Philippines. It's a global cancer.

the scene in these pic signifies how our future self may look if we dont stand to poverty and do something about it....

I do agree with Mr Dorio, yes poverty does not only happen in the Philippines but also in other wealthy nations. England herself carry such poverty,mostly in the big cities such as London, Birmingham and Manchester, sad.
