This really shows the fact that if you're in the US, it doesn't mean that life is easier! Yes, salary in the US is higher, but taxes and the general cost of living are also higher.
@Vice Vice How sad! Anyway, as long as we are kept safe from covid and with our loved ones, we'll be fine! Stay safe, everyone!
Filipinos have to get out of California, Hawaii, New York. It doesn't make any sense to live there, the costs are too high.
Lipat kayo sa ibang state dito sa town nmen may apartment pra sa homeless then tulungan ka nila til makakita la work ... Iwanan nyo na kasi si Pelosi.
Hand me a Dozen Beers Hand me a Dozen Beers but most of filipinos doesn’t have cars and doesn’t know how to drive,meanwhile in NYE,Cali,Hawaii has lots of Trolley and buses which is convenient.
@Koi Captain Blue state?
I’m here in jersey city for 29 years and so far I have encountered one single mother Filipina with 3 kids on welfare but never saw one single Filipino that is homeless. That is sad.
I’ve never seen one Filipina homeless ever and I’ve worked in Jersey City for years.They are some of the hardest working people I’ve come across.
@@leedaniels7196 How do you know they are not filipinos...do you ask or assume only by their appearance?
@@normalperson9646 Assuming by title of the this video these are Filipino people who are living in San Francisco.Like I said in a previous comment I have never seen one Filipina homeless ever,in Jersey City I meant.What is your point other than to try and argue with me?.Btw l KNOW Filipinos and speak their language and in a relationship with one and if I did see homeless ones I would know that they are because I am around them that’s why.
@@leedaniels7196 So based on their appearance, you are able to determine their ethnicity? it's either your a speculation specialist or stereotype expert. I did not question whether you are one, speak it or date it..I could careless....get over yourself.
Well it looks like we’ll have to agree to disagree.Have a nice day.
Maraming trabaho so Reno if you want to get back on your feet. God bless those who help themselves. Huwag umasa sa mga ayoda ng government.
Agree parang Mexian na sila.
Hello video editor. Your audio is split up. One is on the right channel and the other is on the left channel. FIX THIS.
Why work?: $745/SSI, SNAP, free health insurance..no need to wake up for work-wake up whenever, stay up forever...life is great.
The democrats are subsidizing them. Keep them poor so they can be dependent on the government. The government can do whatever they want and they get their votes all the time. Look at LA, #3 in homelessness in the world. What did Garcetti do the $100M funding for low cost housing in LA. Gone in 3 days with no affordable housing in sight. And yet they keep voting the same politicians. People can do better. We deserve better.
@@lourdes86179 mas masipag ba ang mga pinoy sa mexican? parang racist ha
Interview more homeless filipino americans, its enlightening, cuz natives filipino think if u live in america u are rich
Tama
Hardwork and perseverance are the secrets to be successful here in the US.
tama.......marami pa rin dito sa Pinas ganyan pa rin ang tingin sa lahat ng Pinoy na nasa abroad (hindi lang sa US)....akala nila pag nasa abroad na automatic masarap na agad yung buhay wala nang problema........hindi nila alam struggle pa rin sa karamihan........mas mataas nga lang yung standard of living compared sa Pinas
Narinig nyo naman sabi nya. binigyan sya ng housing sa shelter pero umalis pa rin dahil daw boring. siguro may drug problem or alcoholic
@@datweirdoneofficial totoo po yan sabi ng asawa ko kaya daw ayaw nila sa shelter kasi hindi sila makapag bisyo at yong mga taong nanlilimos at sabi homeless sila yong perang pinanglimosan nila ibibili lang ng alak at drugs
The guy said he wants to be with other filipino homeless, then in that case he should go home to his family in the Philippines. Hard to believe there are pinoy homeless.
Dito nga homeless na eh pababalikin mo pa sa pinas. Hay nako
Ang mahirap if winter subrang lamig...maigi umuwi kasama muna kamag anak then hanap nh trabaho....tiygaan lang maghanap
Winter and homeless plus worst covid in the world
Alot of homeless also in NY....So far in DC I have not seen one.
Hard to believe? There are a LOT of WHITE AMERICANS and CANADIANS that are HOMELESS. in their OWN COUNTRY. Meron ding mga puting kano na mga squatters na nakatira sa mga lote na hindi nila pag aari.
George Carlin was correct when he said, you got to be dreaming to believe in the American dream!
and that so-called dream had become a nightmare for most.
Wala nang american dream ngyon, mga pulitiko nalang ang may american dream...
Well said, that was why its called "American Dream".
@@ungax4591 it's the same here in the Corrupt UK! OH you are shocked at me calling the UK CORRUPT! "London is the Capital of the World for money laundering, along with promoting false flag wars, Lying to it's own citizens about covid 19".
Manamiss ka ang napunta sa Pilioinas kahit may kaunting problems ito, para sa akin ang Pilipinas at mass malipat kayos sa uk.
@@dermotcorbin6795 as the old britts they quote, "Things are greener on the other side" Not a surprise for me anymore.
This is an eye opener for me. I would have never imagined that there are homeless Filipinos in America. I can't imagine how that could happen. This shows that no one is immune to homelessness.
You never watched the vedio that talking about pinoy homeless in America? This is the 3rd vedio that i've ever seen! Excuse me; Also in europe there is some pinoy homeless!!homeless people never choice the nationality??! OK!! Salute!!
Unfortunately, it's by choice, a bad one too. There's one Pinoy nurse who's homeless too. Nursing are still one of the most in demand jobs especially right now, and still one of the high paying jobs. So I'm not sure how could that guy be homeless. He could even find a job as a live-in personal nurse or even as a CNA or caregiver if he lost his nursing licensure, that usually guarantees a permanent housing and still make good money. Unfortunately, high rate of homelessness happens in Democrat run cities where homelessness is a preferred choice. In NYC, some of these homeless people are being housed in luxury hotels. Not sure which hotel the guy in this video is being housed at but for some stupid reasoning, he prefers to live on the streets. That only shows what kind of mentality some of these people have, and I doubt if he has any sort of psychiatric issues.
It was never like that before.
Yes it is true some Filipinos used to gamble in the casinos. They end up using their credit cards and can't give up the bad habit.
Are you saying there are no homeless Filipinos in Philippines?
I know someone who used to have a good life - good job- but got into drugs- he has family that he can go a live but he chooses to live in the street- so to make worst things his family decided to bring him back sa pinas and he is doing good there now and my family na rin siya. Drugs, alcohol and gambling can really ruined your good life- this is a land of opportunity but if you take it for granted Talagang Masisira ang buhay mo specially ngayong pandemic so many people na stress and depress.
I am not judging our kababayan we don’t know what is their situation that brought them into this kind of living. I hope May makatulong sa kanila.
Sad
first time ko maka balita na may pinoy pala na homeless... oh my.. very sad..
@@joymejia1272 I think there are a lot din but unfortunately di nababalita. This place in San Francisco I remembered we passed this when we were visiting Sf back in the days- marami Ng homeless diyan but didn’t know na May mga pinoy. We all hope maka recover sila and May tumulong. Specially ngayong pandemic and added the weather pa napakalamig sobra.
Btw when I said we visit SF back in days this was 20’yrs ago marami ng homeless - but until
Now wala pa rin Ganon pa din- these politician na binoto ng bayan Dapat May nagawa na but until now still
The same and getting worse.
This is true. Thank you for putting this issue out there to let others know what really is happening in “Buhay America”.
Yup so true.
San Francisco cost of living is ridiculously high and I would pan handle until I have enough money for a bus ticket to a city or state where there ARE jobs and resources for the homeless...I used to be homeless but now I am in a position to help others
Thank you!
That’s great!
Where do you live sir? I need help
Well done ❤️
Please go to other state’s lots of opportunities hundreds of job availables and the cost of living is low..
Gusto nga nya sa City.
@@bambinahapirich7147 and daming city bawat state
Democrat run states are horrible
Sa ngayon mahal na sa California lalo na kung bago ka pa lang. Studio ngayon ay $1,500 pataas kung bago ka lang magrent. Mabuti na lang $630.00 lang ang monthly ko, mura dahil sa rent control at nakatira ako dito since 1994. Hindi rin ako makaalis dahil 1 block lang trabaho ko, hindi ko kailangan ng sasakyan, walang cellphone at walang credit cards, debit cards lang. Pero kung bago ka lang , punta ka sa Texas o sa Oregon.
Hmmmm...new york is the best place to find a job..the bad thing is the costs of living is too high.
This is indeed enlightening. I hope that through this yung mga tao sa Pinas who are planning to come to the U.S. will somehow rethink their goals. If they really want to come maybe at least get prepared for that. While waiting for the opportunity na makapunta ng U.S. use your time to enrich yourself with knowledge and skills that will give you an edge when you are here. Do something that can boost your employability pagdating dito para yung American Dream mas madaling makamit at hindi maging dream lang forever. Life is tough here. It's not easy. Akala lang ng mga nasa Pinas na maganda buhay dito all the time. That's a lie po. Don't believe in that. Wherever you go sa mundo hindi lang sa U.S. you still need to work hard to survive and enjoy life.
Maganda lng Ang buhay ng mga Filipino dyan sa america kapag may Asawa Silang mayaman na Kano, not to insult Filipinos pero most of pinays in america, nagasawa ng foreigner, yng iba gurang pa, Basta may Pera just to lived in america. Pero kng OFW ka sa US, mas mahirap, dyan papasok yng sinasabe mo na you need enough skills kc wlang tatanggap sayo trabaho sa america if you can't even speak proper English grammar. Mas mabuti nang magstay nlang d2 sa pinas kaysa maging homeless dyan.
@@willylalata8559 The problem is, yung mga papunta dito akala nila madaling makahanap ng pagkakakitaan dito. Noong 70s, yeah, madaming trabaho dito at mura pa ang bilihin kahit minimum wage lang pwede na. Not anymore. To move up in life here, you have to have marketable skills, or a college degree with some work experience, and communication skills, importante yon. Kung walang makaintindi ng sinasabi mo dito, you're not going anywhere.
Maraming job sa US Kung I compare mo sa pinas wag lang choosy Saka Kasi ang karamihan sa Pinoy mayabang
Agree ako jan, kahit saan lupalop kang mundo kung masipag at dika chosy sa trabaho aasenso ang buhay mo.
Oo daming work dto sa America khit minimum napasukan ko noon.
true..not just in the US
I hate to say this but it’s surprising to me because you usually never see homeless Filipino or homeless Asian all together. We tend to help one another! Family and friends so they never end up like this.
While it's unusual, ive seen a few whose families have been here for generations and others have no family here at all.
I don’t know if your claim is true because if it’s true how is that foster children of Filipino descent is the highest among Asians in California?
Umm Manila is the most homeless city in the world
@@angvilla192 Really?
@@deloredan Yeah.. cause they're like them.. Finding Jobs in the City and ending up being homeless.. From Provinces finding an opportunity here in Manila
Its mostly when they started DOING DRUGS
This is sad situation for our fellow Filipinos.
Kapit lang sa panginoon kabayan
Mahirap manirahan dito sa abroad pero kung uuwi sa pinas ng walang puhonan masmahirap mabuhay.
Nako, tigil nyo muna yang mga kinakaadikan nyo... meron ako kamag anak ganyan n ganyan... tulungan mo pinansusugal at bisyo tapos kming mga pamilya p mukang masama
Maybe im just gonna stay here in the Philippines and live a simple life 🥳
Don’t lose hope bsta masipag ka sa ibang bansa, aasenso ka.
how about you just visit as tourist to Los Angeles, San Francisco or New York only?😀
Absolutely, Romel, only if you are retired and receiving 4 different pensions..
Hindi naman porket nasa pinas lang tayo eh hindi na tayo pwede umasenso . Kung tamad ka wala ka talagang mapapala. Ako hindi ako nakatapos.. nagsikap lang ako nag negosyo. Nakapagpatayo nako nang bahay ko..
@@jermainerodgers congrats po. Magnenegosyo na lang din po ako 💯
A lot of homeless does not like to live in the shelter because they don't like to follow the rules nor they have patience... Actually, most of the homeless have family/relative but for same reason.....YOU can always find a job in america, if you are hard working surely those filipinos will give you a place to stay until you are stable. I'm so surprise....
Ain't always the case. A lot of homeless don't like shelters because they get robbed and it isn't exactly safe for most like single moms with kids or families.
“You can always find a job in America” is easier said than done. With the economy landslide in 2008, the effects of the plunge was felt until around 2012. Then, within a decade, this pandemic hits. It is a very competitive city with high cost of living. Those who used to shuffle 3 jobs in a week now have none due to the inability to open even the smallest of businesses. Moms and Pops shops are slowly deprived of chances to survive, more so restaurant and hotel workers. There seems to be a disconnect on what people think of how “easy” it is to work in America rather than what is really happening.
Also, “Pakikisama” is not easy with family members, who also has to fend for their own families’ needs. It’s lack of resources that makes it harder to help when funds are low.
@Glenn Gumban I'm guessing you have never lived in a homeless refuse
The rent in San Francisco is way higher than in other states. It's around 3,000 for a 2 bedroom apt. You'd need 3 jobs to pull that off especially if you have kids.
Are you serious? Binigyan n ng housing, umalis dahil boring??? Wow...
Naniwala ka diyan, wala kamong pambayad sa upa ng bahay.
Di maiwan ang bisyo nabored
Clearly the guy was high af.
NAIINIP SIYA DAHIL WALANG DROGA
Aside from housing, they should also be provided with help in mental health.
LIKE A STORM THERES A RAINBOW OF HOPE. NOTHING LAST FOREVER EVEN YOUR SORROWS. PRAYING GOD WILL BLESS HOMELESS PEOPLE.
I'm so sad that this is happening among our fellow pinoys. I hope all Filipino should come together and find a way to help our kababayans out of this poverty.
You cant! Its their choice to be homeless. Smh
How about helping other homeless why does it have to only be Filipinos?
I would rather go home than to be homeless here in the US.
Hirap gawin pag US Citizen ka na.
If you have no money how can you? A plane ticket ain't that cheap.
@@karmacanquints4222 true and if they've worked here for a long time then their better off staying to get the benefits when they get older.
@@karmacanquints4222 really? U.S. govt can help you not unless you're lazy...
It looks like mga naging drug dependent sila noon? Ahon mga pinoy, kung walang mangyare bumalik na lng kayo sa pinas. Lunukin n lng mga pride.
People are too quick to judge. We don’t know them or what they’ve been through. Remember, there’s always two sides of the story.
True. People should exhibit empathy instead of being judgmental.
Exactly but unfortunately humanity is full of assholes that resort to negativity to further lower their fellow humans. 2020 proved that most have no compassion or empathy for others.
Sana naman tumulong iyong billionaire na filipina na may ari ng mga mamahalin saskyan dyan sa US.
Thank you. We have to remind each other that no one wants to be in this situation. We all want a quality of life. To feel safe and have the basic necessities.
Yea there is, its either you're a hard worker or Lazy.
That’s California for you! There are so many states outside California; just get out of your comfort zone.

It is if they're thinking that way 😊
Really? Cost of living in the Philippines is more expensive than cost of living in the USA and other first world countries despite Philippines being a 3rd world country
@@zen-ohsama7116 some of the items in Philippines are really very expensive especially the imported ones(higher than the prices in Singapore) but still u can make it up in Philippines as long as u're hardworking,has patience and perseverance and with determination to make ends met,nothing is impossible ..To be a beggar and homeless n other country is kinda scary so why choose to live a country that'd make ur life a hellish 1 knowing only few will sympathizes u , because their point is u choose that kind of life,get a work and get a life!But in Philippines, people is known for being hospitable and generous and no 1 will be talking about u being homeless either ..
@@shinlin9832 the salary in Philippines are very low while items there are very expensive so people who say Philippines has low cost of living are gravely mistaken. Look how hard it is to buy a car in Philippines. Cars, branded items electronics and internet are far more expensive in the Philippines than in the USA and EU which is why the cost of living in Philippines is higher than 1st world countries(even higher cost of living than in EU and USA) while Philippines is a garbage 3rd world country. Everything in Philippines is negative and bad, nothing good there anymore.
@@zen-ohsama7116 seriously u called Philippines as garbage?have u even noticed how rich the country is ,we are considered as richest with the said natural resources.. We're already there about the very high prices of goods and the salary is low but it doesn't mean that the country is a 3rd world garbage country,I bet u is a Filipino u might as well choose to get buried back to where the origin of ur roots are😁😁If u have a nice job then definitely u will get a higher pay so forget about the expensive commodities because everywhere are and has its own way to lift up the economy 😊If Philippines is a garbage then the country shouldn't be inhibited by our kind,everyone will choose to migrate to other countries, don't ya think😁😁
Kungmagsipag kalang dito sa US di ka magiging homeless.gaganda ang buhay mo.,maraming trabaho dito.dapat walang bisyo at kumayod ka.

Bago palang ako sa America,na abotan ako ng virus,maraming trabaho dito. Basta hindi ka lang mapili. Ngayon kung magiging homeless ka it’s ur choice. Marami na akong mga nahahalubilo na mga Pilipino dito,ang lakas mag sugal,dependent pa sa mga sugar daddy. Imbes mag ipon nandun sa Vegas,Jamul,Sycuan at Viejas,sugal ng sugal sa casino. Kaya ang ending yung iba kapag tag gipit wala nang pera dahil na ubos sa casino,ngayon nagbago ang isip ng sugardaddy ang ending ay iniwanan sila,kaya ang ending din nagiging homeless. Land of Opportunity ang Amerika naniniwala ako jan. Kasi kung gastador ako panigurado wala akong matitirhan ngayon.

Its not all “American Dream” in the US. The grass is not greener on the other side. Wherever you are, look for what opportunity you have and strive harder to make it work.
Sa California, andaming filthy rich, pero andaming homeless.... Uwi na lng po kayo dito sa atin. Kahit mag ulam ng tuyo atleast kasama natin pamilya natin. May karamay tayo.
Madalas choice nila maging homeless. Iba may mga bisyo. Iba walang papel. Wala sa lugar nasa tao. Maraming free na pina mimigay ang California kaya madalas ayaw nilang mag trabaho. Kapag nag trabaho mawawala.

@@mikoxmas6122 yup, and you have a fewonths of unemployment benefits. Satin, pag kain pa lng hirap na. Although may advantage din sa Pinas, like mas mura pagka in, pwede ka mag tanim if may konting lupa and may mga relatives na pwede tumulong.
Mahirap yan if homeless tpos heavy winter. Pero depende sa lugar
And for sure naman hindi yan homeless before (paano ka pupunta if wala Kang Pera). So you can't be homeless then pupunta ng US
Homeless but in style.. her nails are way better than most of pinoys elsewhere. They just dont own a permanent resident but lookin at them they seem to be better than most of homeless in pinas. Well, we’ll never know 🤷🏻♀️

May mga homeless rin palang mga pinoy diyan, sabagay from my experience masarap lang magbakasyon pero hirap buhay diyan palagi nagmamadali. Double job minsan 3 job pa ata tapos yung mga family sa Pinas panay hingi.
Keyword us may "job". Unbelievable na may pinoy na magugutom dito. Madaming trabaho. Kelangan lang sipag at tyaga. Dito walang discrimination sa health status at edad. U can work as long as u want. Maliit siguro ang kita pero kesa umaasa ka sa limos. Ipon then uwi na lang sa pinas kung talagang nalulungkot dito

Those who live on the streets actually had a problem, it’s eithef drugs or mental illness caused by depression. Filipinos are known for being MAPARAAN and survivors regardless how difficult the situation is. They should go back home. Sa pinas masipag ka lang magtanim sa paligid mo di ka magugutom.
Thats not true... Kung wala kang lupa sa atin ganyan din ang labas mo! Look at the rice farmers sa atin even the government cant even help them.
If that's true bakit maraming gutom pa rin sa pinas... Kasi marami pa rin Ang TAMAD
Every situation is unique. We should not judge them po. Sometimes sa buhay may mga pangyayari that is beyond our control. As you have said tayong mga pinoy maparaan. Pero talaga namang may mga pagkakataon po na no matter how we try talagang aabutin ng malas. Hindi naman po ibig sabihin na may mali na kaagad sa tao dahil nagkaganyan ang buhay. Kahit ganyan po sila now hindi naman po ibig sabihin that something is wrong with them. Let's look at the good side po ng tao. Hwag kaagad manghusga kasi iba.iba po tayo ng pinagdaanan.
I do agree with you po regarding the existence of mental health problems that need to be dealt with. Sad to say, there are still a lot of our kababayan who are either not aware of mental health or are just too scared to seek help for mental issues because they don't want to be tagged as baliw or something. Whether we admit it or not marami pa mga pinoy na medyo kino.consider pa na taboo yung magse.seek help for problems like depression or even alcoholism. Pag nakikita ka nagpunta ng psychologist sasabihin na kaagad baliw ka. This I think is one of the stumbling blocks why maraming tao na even if aware sila about depression etc they still don't consider seeking professional help as their option.
Not all of them are homeless
Lots of them are choose to stay outside others choose to live like a homeless
Hahaha..Korek! Ibig lng ma experience nila maging homeless. They have legal addresses where they used to collect financial assistance from the State.
uwi na lang kayo sa pinas at magcall center, marunong naman kayo magEnglish!
Or mag vlogs nlang sa pinas ✌️
Yung iba yung mga anak sa amerika na pinanganak in which mas may pag-asa maka-ahon. Kaya yung ibang mga magulang hirap din makauwi kahit gustong-gusto na umuwi, kahit mas gusto nila tumanda o mamatay sa Pilipinas kasi nga yung mga anak nila Amerika na kinagisnan.
Mhirap tlga pag tamad. Syang lng they r strong.
Mga sira ulo yan tapos papauwi in mo pa diyan nakuh poh! Ang daming trabaho dito sa america huwag ka lang mag drugs lalo na dito sa Las Vegas. Kaya naka kahiya lang na mayroon akong nakikitang mga ganiyan samantalang ang daming mga kababayan natin gusto pumunta dito tapos sila hindi nila ma appreciate na naka rating dito. Gusto nila yan ayaw umalis sa drugs alam ko yan dahil muntik din ako.
@@bbsorianolasvegas8738 oo nga nho.. tama ka dyan... ang isip nila hindi ung typical na OFW na kayod marino... Ang isip nila cguro ay walang pakialam sa mundo o kaya magtago ng magtago lang at bisyo!
Pray always and use our values as Pilipinos we are resilient you can make it through
Nkakalungkot para sa kanila jan.,kaya nyo po yan pinoy tayo.,God bless
I’d rather stay in my home country with low income than stay in a different country living in poverty
Indeed. Uwi na lang kayo sa Pinas oi. Nasa America nga ganyan naman ang kalagayan. Hays

@Zyy Kernel there's no difference at all kung ganun. At least if pulubi sa Pinas nasa sariling bayan naman. Mahirap mag isa sa banyagang bansa.
Wala talaga sa lugar yan nasa tao talaga ang choice
Kawawa naman ang mga kababayan ko,god blessed everyone
I will keep everyone in my prayers.
My fiance lives in the Philippines
Prayers is nothing more than self-meditation.
Nothing fails more than prayers. In fact, the only thing prayers provides is a whole lot of nothing.
So, get off your butt like the rest of us and provide food, clothing, personal hygene items, and clean socks.
Can I get an AMEN?! ;)
👍
thank you Mark ptaying with you ,,,God Bless you!
@@dwttexjw4796 prayers is the only hopes this PEOPLE have and hang on to.. dont burst their bubble because of your own disbelieve in God. Sometimes even God/ others provide the helps, for sick mind didnt notice it cause they either like you said lazy and depend on other for foods and other needs.. sick minds and drugs are sometimes the cause of homelessness..
@@pinayinhawaii5572 : Whoever you pray to will always ask for tithes, lover offering and all the etcetera which a taxation for believing what they worship and for the benefit of their congregation aka business. And if you say that whoever being you ask for help in the skies, just look in youtube the live feed of international space station beyond the clouds and there is no heaven in there.
Usually it involves drugs, alcohol or a mental issue.
I heard some homeless people chose to be homeless because government housings has so many rules including drug related and they'd rather be in the streets... that true?
Please stop judging po . These are also people with feelings. It's tough living here in this country, even the middle class people can lose their job anytime , anyone can be homeless when you lose your job especially during the pandemic. So many millions of people have no jobs and continue to lose their homes.. It doesn't cost you anything to be encouraging sa mga kababayan natin.
That’s y there’s a fuckin pandemic fund ! Don’t you receive one ? And FYI not anyone can be homeless if you world hard lmao are you homeless ?
Correct!!
@@deannoguera5351 Please, don’t curse and be angry. We all have freeness of speech here. I don't need to tell you about our personal lives if we had gotten help from the government. One thing I can tell you is that we pay a lot of taxes and we don't complain. One thing I can tell you, though that I thought was funny that they sent my brother 17cents signed by President Trump.
Be kind.
I have seen very few homeless Asian, it's very sad to see people in this situation. Hopefully things will turn around for them.
OMG! Sobrang lamig pa naman sa SF ngayon.
You should let them stay at your house. Talk is cheap.
@@secretbillionaire463 😂😂😂
jobs are overflowing here in the US if you just strive and look for it.
Exactly!.
Bruh, where still on lockdown, lots of People got Laid off I thought you knew
@@rockman469 Yes that's totally understandable, but for people who has been on the streets for 4-5 years, there hasn't been lockdowns on those times yet. I don't blame them though I was just saying there are a lot of options to not end up living in the streets, working as a caregiver, waiter, cleaner, dishwasher would do.
@@GarthGarcia thing is these People got Drug Problem, Mental Disabilities or just Plain Lazy and waiting for their Welfare Checks
@@GarthGarcia Most of them like to live on the streets because they are lazy and do not like rules, they want to do whatever they want to do such as drugs, and do not like to work.
He was given a shelter but refused because of self satisfactiin. Hindi na prob.ng Governmentyun. tinulungan na sya eh.
"pandemic" is a scam to get more people into poverty. cant you see almost everyone are having fun during what government and mainstream media called "pandemic"
Eto ang di naiintindihan ng mga gustong umalis ng Pilipinas. You will be ALONE sa ibang bansa and hahanapin mo pa rin ang mga kapwa mong Pilipino.
Some cultures are not "warm" like us and that will surely affect some migrant Filipinos that don't have anyone they know near them.
sya ung halimbawa ng mga squatter sa pinas na binigyan na ng pabahay pero binenta tas balik ulit sa pagka squatter 😂
It's sad some people come all the way across the globe for a better life, in the U.S but it didn't happen instead they ended up homeless. It happens to me also. But I thank God he rescue me. Thank you Jesus! And may God have mercy on these homeless Pilipinos and others and God bless them.
laban lang kabayan! malalampasan nyu din yan🙏🇵🇭
*Am not judging. But being homeless in America does not happen in a flash. It occures as a result of mental health issues or a series of never ending nad devisions*
mental health? its called no job, no help, wake up onejejewu
Bleeds my heart to see my kababayan homeless.
GODBLESS and Godspeed...keep safe my kababayans ...😇🙏😇🙏
Most have mental health issues.

They're mostly on drugs. Let them get tested for drugs and find out why they're homeless
Very true, i knew it right away....sad but its true, may mga kilala ako na katulad nla
Some of them uses crack. I don't think marijuana can turn u a homeless
Bullshit. Loose your job, find yourself on the sidewalk with all your stuff, you're going to be meased up in the head.
There's jobs everywhere. If you cannot afford to live in the City then move somewhere else cheaper. You loose your job then find work in a fastfood jobs like Mcdonald's unless you have high standards then you're screwed. I seen people working still working 2 jobs. No excuses
100-%
karamihan ng homeless na pinoy jan it’s either drug addict or may depression kaya sila ganyan. marami trabaho sa amerika. massipag ang mga pinoy hindi namimili ng trabaho.
Korek ka kabayan...
Tama ka dyan..I can’t believe first time kung nakita na meron Pilipino na mga tamad dto sa America ….napakasarap dto sa America kung makipag ka at wala kang bisyo at h8ndi ka naminili ng trabaho at mapagkakatiwalaan ka….kasi kung gumawa ka dto ng hindi maganda for live time na rejection ka sa papasukan mong trabaho …kasi kinukuha dto yong experience na maganda ag record mo ….para sa akin the best ag America …number one sa buong mundo …GOD BLESS AMERICA…I love AMERICA 🙏👍❤️🇺🇸
The first i went to California i was with other Kaba bayan hanging out, they pointed at pinay lady and told me people hand over donations so that her mother will get proper burial. Yet, she spend the money at the Casino. 😳
This is really a heart breaking sight, the shame of going back home to the Philippines shouldn’t be the reason why, but I would go back to the Philippines at least I have a place to call it home with their families still there (In the Philippines). Perhaps lack of papers ( legal documents from immigration), lost of jobs, use of illegal drugs can be some of those reasons why they consider staying on the streets under the radar. I am a proud Filipino and proud to be an American citizen, but to live on the street this way, I would consider right away to go back home, because I will be a lot closer with my friends and family.
sana punta nlng sila sa Phil. Embassy at umuwi nlng sa Pinas. magbukid nlng.
Very well said! I totally agree.
Nagluluko lng mga Pinoy homeless. Ayaw lng umuwi sa Pinas, dahil kulong o patay cla maski masarap shabu sa atin.
Tama
Minsan kasi may chance na illegal immigrants sila kaya walang stable job.. kung meron man.. hindi sapat ang kinikita para sa renta..
paano makakauwi kung andaming utang na kailangang bayaran sa pinas? baka hindi pa nababayaran yung loan para makapag-abroad.
God bless...napanood ko rin my SLAB CITY 😬
Stay safe their mga kaibigan
What? nag abroad para lang maging homeless kahit anong dahilan di sapat para mag palaboy sa ibang bansa. Mga kababayan naman...
I saw the first feature on them. Nalulong sa sugal at alak. That was a couple of years ago and they're still on the street.
Nakaka pag taka kung bakit may homeless na Pilipino.. kasi ang Pilipino ay napaka sipag na tao pag nasa America sila.. either dalawa ang trabaho or tatlo.. pero homeless?? Shock ako..
First of all, the housing in America in general is so expensive. If you earn a minimum wage, no way you can rent an apartment. When reach 60 years of age and u have no house yet or still halfway done paying it, for sure youll be homeless because what you get in social security is not sufficient to sustain your needs.
@@pinayinhawaii5572 me too
@@dinemalphrus1615 you can rent a room or bed spacer maybe
@@dinemalphrus1615 most single Pilipino rent bed space or room only and they still maintain employment, even though they are way pass seniority and need to rest, they still work part time and collect SSS that too is additional income... but this pandemic hit most if not all of us hard than we can imagined so this is the bad situation most of us faces..

yes. ewan ko b bat insecure ung iba. bka sila ksi hndi magaling haha
Yung mga homeless sa states pauwiin na lang sa Pinas then bigyan ng bahay sa Nuvali Sta. Rosa 💯
Yan ang patunay na hindi porket nasa America ka or abroad mayaman na! Lalo sa America di magsnda ang patakaran.
Tama ka tsong..marami lang talaga na akala nila basta nasa abroad ka madali ang pera at mayaman ka na..!!! Sa mga naging OFW..maraming guminhawa buhay, maraming nasira ang buhay, maraming namatay at maraming wala ding naipon..sa mga nasa america..depende sa trabaho mo at willingness mo ro survive..ang buhay america ay survival of the fittest..but still ..tsong mas masarap ang buhay sa america kumpara mo sa ibang mga bansa..!! Lalo na stable ka na sa america..!!!
Yes, but unlike sa Pinas maraming job opportunities dito sa US. You can make it if you go to places/state where the jobs are .California is a very expensive state to live. but if you move to places like Ohio daming hirings dito, pero the weather sucks and it's not as pretty as California but rent is cheap and lots of job opportunities.
@@camryl13 ..you are absolutely right!!!
Korek po
Ano di maganda patakaran sa America? Tiga US ka ba? Ako hindi ako college graduate pero kumikita ako almost 6 figures per year. Madami po opportunities dito kahit wala ka diploma just learn a trade skill pwede ka Kumita ng malaki basta wag kalang tamad. Diska diskarte lang yan. Tiga bay area ako never knew may mga homeless pinoys din pala dito sa lugar namin.

"Here I could do whatever I want", this sums up the homeless life style, they don't want a home, they want to be a BURDEN, it is what they want.
It is not what you think..." Here I could do whatever I want " he left the house where he was hosted because he felt alone there...he was the only filippino living there...he wants to be with other Filipinos in the street...hopefully the Philippine government could help them turning to the Philippines....or the American government ...
@@remyplagata6369 What a Stupd Decision! Filipinos are Hardworker! And for them to be homeless means they did something stupid..
@@remyplagata6369 Maybe if he channeled his loneliness into being productive, he'll feel much better. Still so many jobs out there despite the pandemic, for as long one isn't being choosy. And Filipinos are actually the most desirable workers in any field, be it as white or blue collar job compared to other minorities, because most are hardworking (and dont usually take their paid time offs,) can speak and write English well, very adaptable, and most actually have college or vocational education and trade skills. Take that homeless Pinoy nurse, how could he be homeless, when nurses are very much in demand now more than ever and making very good money.
Brother...what he had done in the past we don't know to lead him to dwell in the streets...however in the present he learns lessons from this...hopefully he could fix firm his life soon in God's name ....thanks and happy new year...
