Most Dangerous Ways To School - Vietnam: • Most Dangerous Ways To...
The children from Madibago in the southern Philippines have one of the most spectacular and dangerous ways to school in the world. Some walk alone through the jungle for hours, others risk their lives, in order to make it past a steep face of rock and boulders, overgrown with moss and tree roots.
On the peninsula Zamboanga del Norte in the southern Philippines, the thinly populated coastal strip gives way to sharply rising mountains. Eleven-year-old Aible lives close to the sea, but her school is located in the heart of the mountains. A ride on a motorbike taxi costs only one US-Dollar, but Aible’s family simply doesn’t have the money, like most of the families here. So for decades, children from Madibago have been taking the shortcut through the jungle. They call it Pam-Pang: A gigantic wall that the children must climb every single day - in the hopes of a better future. In some places its slope is 90 degrees. Many people have fallen here. Some have critically injured themselves while trying to climb Pam-Pang.
The weather can change suddenly in the Philippines. Thanks to the high humidity, short, heavy rain showers tend to be the rule - even in the dry season. And for Aible this means even greater danger on her way to and from school. The roots, the rocks, the soil - all becomes even more slippery than usual. But that doesn’t keep the children from chasing their dreams.

I hope and pray that these families are being paid for sharing their stories and not exploited for the purpose of entertainment. They deserve to be compensated for allowing us all into their lives 🙌🏽
yes!
That word should helped not paid thank please blessings.
I meant BE helped sorry.
Indeed or I hope they have foundation to help out these kids.. Their stories and burden really a an inspirations to us who are not living on a mountain. I hope they they paid well by there docu. But Anyway a big thanks for the staff and crew for doings such a great and amazing documentaries around the world.
Nelly T YES!!! I’ve said this from the first one I saw. It’s disgusting how lavish some people live meanwhile there’s families like these that truly just want the same shot as everyone else. Some kids not even having access to clean water. Wtf is wrong with our world 😩
I am from the Philippines. I used to walk from the mountain where our house was located to downtown city, sometimes barefooted. I only washed my feet full of mud on the river, wiped my wet feet using a piece of cloth from unused clothes, and I also put my socks and shoes on the river. Some well-privileged kids along with their parents would pass me by on the bridge and would always give me a disgusted look, or sometimes would bully me that a mountain girl like me would get nowhere in life and will just end up being poor. It was my daily routine from to school since I was a kindergarten until I graduated in 2019 in a prestigious state university as a Cum Laude. And thanks to those bullies who underestimated me for making me the best version of myself that I couldn't ever imagine.
No child deserves such a life
I really hope the producers of this series give money to the families they film. Even like $30 USD would make a huge difference.
Idol
Congratulations and best wishes for your future. You are amazing as are many children.
samee but i dont wash my feet haha
This is why most of our parents and grandparents say “back in our day, we used to walk miles, hike, cross rivers just to get to school” 🙏🏼 respect 🇵🇭
I guess they weren't lying
True. My mother had experience these type of hardships during her youth.
@@lijo4518 Wala naman silang rason para gagawala ng ng kwento... Kahit naman sa panahon natin ngayon marami paring nakakarananas ng ganito sa ating bansa. Hindi pa nasisilip ng ating pamahalaan... Kung nasilip na man wala naman sapat na budget kasi yung department of education ay walang ibang iniisip kundi ang patuloy na pag momodernize ng education system na ang nakakabenepesyo lang ay ang mga nasa malapit na lugar.. Nakakaiyak! ang dami naming hinanaing na mga guro na naka destino sa last miles school...
I mean I guess in can see this
and here in US my neighbors complained because their kids had to walk two houses up to catch the bus instead of right infront of their house.
and our houses are CLOSE in that neighborhood. it looked like a regular American suburbs with the houses right NEXT to eachother.
and the bus driver actually accommodated to that spoiled nonsense and would stop, then stop two houses down to pick up her kids🤦🏻♀️
I went to the phillipines in 2020 and was amazed how the kids were so well mannered and thankful for the little things they have in life. I went there with my 15 year old son and it changed us both, and made us more grateful for the easy life we have in the West.
wow. God bless you 🙏🏻 sending love from 🇵🇭
I want to talk to you about that, I can relate.
I'm in tears while watching this documentary, it reminds me of my grade school days back in 1995, my family lived in the jungle of southern side of mindanao Philippines. me and my 1 younger walk 2 and half hours every day to go to school and crossed the river 7 times. thank God through perseverance and determination I was able to finish my study and achieve my dreams.
mabuhay ka kabayan!
I'm so happy things worked out for you ♡
@@pantaleonsantos1960 salamat kabayan. un ung mga panahon na 1 peso lang baon at bitbit ang pangarap na balang araw makatapos din.

It breaks my heart to see Ryan just eat rice for dinner and nothing else. Wish the children there prosperity and success
Elangbam Elangbam 😭😭😭😭 minds too!!! Sweet baby and here I am struggling to get my toddler to eat her chicken. Lord have mercy...
in the slums of mexico i used to eat bean soup, tasteless bean soup; we couldn't afford salt.
I sent them a message through facebook messenger asking them for information of some of the families i would like to send some items.
@@DaBeezKneez I feel like a brat now I'm disappointed in me and my brother if he doesn't get what he wants he won't eat it 😭
JUAN SALCEDO did they let you know?
I am from the Philippines. My experience was worst, mountain - river -mountain - river - mountain - river - the another mountain, then school. - vice versa . I am now working as Operational Manager in an American company. Prayers and Perseverance!
Absolutely remarkable the way these children get to school each day under such difficult circumstances. I think the kids in the west should watch this video to appreciate how lucky they are.
@Mountain Lightning 007 I loved school apart from getting the cane for being naughty 👿
I agree...kids these days want to complain about taking out the garbage. They have no idea 🤨
@@lijo4518 They have it far too easy and don’t know how lucky they are.
@@lijo4518 parents fault.
I'm from the West and here in my country it's very similar 😂
I’ve been hooked and motivated by these documentaries “the most dangerous ways to school”.
me too...
Ron Ramos21 me too started watching yesterday i wish i can help
Me too. It hurts and breaks my heart watching it.
Me too
Me Three
These documentaries should be shown in every school to make children realize how lucky and blessed they are to have an easy and comfortable life. I salute these children. They deserve everything 🥺
To add additional torture to an inflicted wound, I would highly suggest not. If you like, what can I do.
How is it additional torture? Kids elsewhere have it relatively easy. Let them learn to appreciate it and know others risk it all to simply get to school.
Then u should take you and your kids over there so you won't feel so bad
@@dadillonful you are missing the point. Every parent want to give their kids a better life. It is what every parent thrive for. The point is showing this episode to kid who have it better than them so they'll appreciate what they have. After all, you can show them better than you can tell them.
110% with you. And I hope manny pacquio sees this documentary, because manny pacquio is from mindanao. And he also said he struggled in education in early age. Shoutout to manny pacquio. Bless those children, hope their goals and achievements will be successful. God bless y’all.
I'm the oldest in my family and when the narrator was talking about the oldest goes last.. man I couldnt even imagine watching my brother slip and having seconds to react and hold on so we both don't go down. That's immense pressure and responsibility. These kids are going to make it. You can tell
Cool story bro
Ryan really misses his parents alot. Can clearly be seen he want to be with his parents. Hope he soon meets his parents and other a great great success in life♥️
I'm American Filipino born and raised here in the USA I'm blessed to have the opportunity to do certain things my parents where born in the Philippines they used to tell me stories how they went to school like these kids I used to joke around with my parents about there stories until one day I visited the Philippines I got to experience the long walk my parents used to walk in the jungle through a river and dirt roads just to get a education. I don't make fun of my parents stories anymore I just enjoy and imagine...love the video it's educational...
Because you are another spoiled ass brat that throws a fit when your parent's didn't buy you the latest version of iPhone. You are part of a new generation of trash.
@Frankie Basile
Look who's Talking. NY especially Brooklyn is a Getto. Look at your English, grammar and sentences...you wanna bet? These kids climbing the mountains and hills can spell, write and compose sentences and essays than You👉
What a Shame jack of O, master of none that you forgot or never learned the history of your country and ours.
@@slightlyexistential1640 So, what is it, a mistake of one is already a mistake of his countrymen or the entire country? Don't be a fool! Your words tell who you are... You are the real racist you were talking about..
My son is half half
He lives in usa we made him go to school one year in panay island so he knows
@S M
Is there a way for you to get these young children some help? Especially shoes, clothes and some money to buy proper food? Maybe you can create a platform with other Philippinos born in USA to help these children?
I’m from the Philippines and lived most of my childhood there before moving to the United States and this really hits home for me because I used to be one of these children who had to take a risky path in order to get to school everyday. This also makes me realize how fortunate I am to be where I am right now. I want to thank my mother for all of her sacrifices and hard work and I genuinely hope that situations will be better for these children. I love the Philippines and my fellow Filipinos so much and my heart breaks for them. ❤️ To the documentary makers, please let us donate or reach out to these families.
Ryl same here
I'm from Oriental Mindoro, Philippines
Rameces Magsisi That’s cool! I think I’ve been there before when I was a child. I’m originally from Cebu!
I have been watching these documentary series, and the one thing I do not understand is - why these families can not move a little bit closer to the schools or at least so that the children have less dangerous paths to school? I mean, it does not seem that they have a lot of things to move, and the houses also does not seem too hard to build, and some neighbors would definitely help them I think. They do not have a lot to begin with, so why would not they simply move a little closer to the school? I was hoping somebody who has been living or knows people who is living in similar conditions could elaborate on this. You do not have to reply if you do not want to. But if you could, I would be thankful.
Barbija Aleksandroviča Well you’re in luck, my friend! I’ve had lots of experiences with this and, thankfully, my current experience is so much better now here in the United States and I’m so grateful. As for your question, it really comes down to the fact that, most of the time, it’s not really the family’s choice to live in the area, but rather it’s for survival purpose and it’s so much better to live there than homeless in the streets. The Philippines is an extremely poor country and you can see the poverty everywhere (especially in the big cities like Manila, Cebu, etc) like there’s broken houses in the oceans and there’s dilapidated houses that are so close together that we call ‘squatters’ and nobody just has any money. Our government is getting better everyday, but it’s still not the best and people are still struggling. There’s a lot of problems in society as well like 12 year olds getting pregnant because there’s no proper education and access to any contraception is difficult and then jobs are scarce and then there’s substance use; everything is all over the place so these families who send their kids to dangerous paths most likely fall in the poverty line and therefore cannot move into a new house closer to the school yet they still want their children to have a good education (because they probably didn’t + not all children get an education there and they don’t turn out to be a functional member in society which exacerbates its current state even more) so they have no choice but to send them down. I definitely agree that the families could try to find some ways to make their child’s path better, but at the same time, I feel like it’s really because they don’t have a choice due to their financial standing and other problems in their lives. It’s really hard to think straight when you have to worry if you’re gonna be able to feed your kids everyday or have electricity so I feel like the path of their children is something that the parents definitely feel anxious about, but ultimately, they know that their children are getting the education and the opportunity that they never had and they just have to put their full trust in them. I hope this cleared up your misunderstanding a little bit. I think that, in short, it’s just incredibly difficult for them to make that decision because they most likely can’t afford a new house or build one from scratch and they would rather not live in the streets just for their children to go to school. Also, I’m sure their neighbors are also in the same financial standing as them as they’re living in the same area so they’re also barely getting by everyday. If they had a family member living close to the school, the families might be able to stay there/let the kids stay there, but most of the time, it’s highly unlikely and I don’t think they really want to be living with total strangers. My heart honestly goes out to these children because they’re so courageous and I hope they fulfill their ambitions soon 💛 I hope my explanation helped you a little bit; if you want to ask more questions, feel free! :)
Bless these babies! They are wanting to learn, grow, and teach there community! They are barefoot or in sandals climbing steep mountains. I am wishing them much abundance, success, and happiness in their big futures! Sending love to all ❤
I'm from the Philippines & never imagined that there are children who suffered a lot like this just to he able to go to school. I salute these kids & their parents who are brave enough to do it. I wish our Vice President & at the same time the Secretary. of Education who us from Mindanao will be able to see this documentary & do something to help ease the lives of these children.
I was like him before i had to walk hours just to get to the school and now im an IT technician, Thank God I can help help family now and others in need.
"cool! very happy for you.' Have a good life and go on helping.
May God Almighty bless your hard work

We Love You ❤️ from Philippines I hope your doing good 💕😊
Thanks for appreciating our country Philippines.
😍
As Filipino educator, I’m so emotional while watching this video. Thank you for bringing out this reality to the world.
This documentary is very instructive and inspiring :(
For young people living in the city who ignore the opportunity to study, this video is for you.
It is painful to watch such situations, especially for childrens who live in the mountains, who even though they are far away and have difficulty, they do not give up for the dreams even though they might to face the danger and struggle just to arrive safely to school. 😥
All I can say is don't give up on your dreams, and if you have the opportunity to study, just study because no matter what happens, only our knowledge will lead us to a better future and a better life that no one can take.
That’s very true.
Has there been any updated videos and has anyone kept up with the families in the video??..
Let's take a moment to appreciate how beautiful of a country Philippines is.
landscape, seascape, people, everything.
Geography, landscape, dangerous path is a Norm.
Kung Fu absolutely amazing. As I watched I couldn’t help but feel the serenity and peace. Its beautiful
If the goverment isn't corrupt. Thid country will be a very rich.
I have the opportunity to serve a mission for my church there- I'll be living there for a year and a half beginning next year. I can't wait to serve these amazing people and to see the beautiful country :)
It is gorgeous I love the houses and school in the middle of paradise.
Way back 1998 - 1999, I'll used to walk 12kilometers per day (24km back and forth) just to get an education. God is so good that I become a working student (school janitor) until I finish my course. Sacrifice is the key to success.
Victor Olano damn god bless you , I feel so spoiled now because I get annoyed having to walk 5 minutes to my bus stop
There was a girl on this show that had to walk 40km everyday and only arrived at lunch time 😢
@@tilly7689 she walks once a month to fetch school fees
@@adobs2095 yes lol
which episode is that the girl 40km
This documentary really hits home, it's like a flashback to my childhood, where I practically hiked to school uphill both ways! Now I'm grateful to have 10 kids, and at least our school commute is a team effort, no more solo mountain-climbing adventures!
This is actually dreaming for a better life " not getting it handed to you" I hope we learn from this, please show your kids this documentary!😢
We are so spoiled here in the USA, 😢 what a blessing we have! Yet we fight over things that don't matter.
Ryan takes a break and CLIMBS a 65 FOOT TREE!!! And does arts and crafts up there on HIS BREAK!!!!! WTF!!! I thought I had it bad walking a mile and a half in the snow in Chicago but this is nuts!
If you are tired and thirsty you need a break, no choice for the boy.
Well you had it bad too. I don’t do snow
Crazy how he's just chilling up there, leaning with his back to the branch/leaves with the drop behind him. Haha we used to do this as kids. Dunno a out of 65 footer tho.
As a 23yr.old, I will never forget seeing a peasant Filipino girl on the street, with a Physics book in her hand, using the street lamps to study. I spent a month in Manila, the capital city in 1997. Beautiful, humble, and very hospitable people.
My experience has been from violent criminals from there but obviously there are good people from there as well which I wish I had met instead.
@@kanaler5924 as a whole, they are not like that. All nations have the wayward and savage in their ranks.
The determination and resilience of these children from Madibago, Philippines, is truly inspiring. They embark on this perilous journey through the jungle, defying steep slopes and unpredictable weather, all for the chance at a better future. Their unwavering spirit and courage in the face of adversity are heartwarming. Thanks for sharing this touching documentary.
So I am sitting in a skyscraper here in Johannesburg, South Africa watching this and tearing up. I felt so sad seeing those kids in flip-flops which can break and cost them their lives on those steep rock faces. The shot at 15:06 just left me in awe and fear too. I grew up in Cameroon and school was just 10 minutes away, we had electricity, clean tap water and two of some of Cameroon's best mission hospitals (plus one gov't hospital) for a town of just about 500,000 people. We even had a helicopter and a Cessna airplane serving our town thanks to some missionary support. Cameroon grows abundant food but I was struck at how Filipino food is mainly rice like the shot at 46:50 with Ryan eating plain rice with no spices, no tomato sauce or anything. I have been so lucky to get an education at some of the best universities in South Africa and while watching this, I was wondering how we can come together to support the kids in this particular Filipino village to get even just good, sturdy shoes and raincoats? I now have a greater appreciation for some of the things I take for granted: a wardrobe full of clothes, internet access, good food, access to shopping malls and medical care and clean water. Even if SA has issues, I think we should be grateful things are still comparatively far better here. God bless everyone in the Philippines
There is a concrete road they just want the kids to take the short cut for the documentary and for you to watch. Flip flop is used because it's 90-100 degrees temperature. I grew up there. We don't have a bus but there's jeepneys, tricycles. Walking is healthy. In my job they put the parking lot far so we all can walk for the body to exercise.
@@suskagusip1036 Really? How mean could you be to think like that? The distance between a parking lot and office is a different thing and also how many miles far could it be. Won't most of it be a flat surface and a fully paved one?
Walking on the concrete road twice the distance to school on a mountain or a hill is really difficult. Also, driving on roads is easier. Walking on unpaved roads is tough even when the distance is less. Also, climbing a mountain is very difficult if you are not used to it. And even if you are used to it, it still takes an effort. On a sunny day, try climbing a mountain 2,000 meters up with your shoes on, you will know what it takes. Trust me you will be hungry and thirsty even a quarter of your way up even if you are in your early twenties.
That is an ignorant statement. What you're seeing here are the poorest of filipinos. Kindly reflect and check your own country's stats before you make embarrassing paragraphs like that.
South Africa
Poverty Rate Approximately 55.5% (as of 2021)
Unemployment Rate Approximately 34.4% (as of Q3 2021)
Philippines
Poverty Rate Approximately 21.6% (as of 2018)
Unemployment Rate Approximately 7.1% (as of 2020)
Makes me ashamed how much easier life is for some of us, and yet we thought we had it so difficult. These hard working people and their children are amazing.
In my mind i have develop a way to help children in my little ways because they are the future of this country until such time that i am ready enought i pursue my plan there are actually a hundred of ways to do so i have a high regard for the teacher they are the nicest people on the plannet. I dont only watch documentaries but i also try to be an instrument to help other" till then
Don't feel ashamed. Your forefathers worked hard to build what you enjoy today. Be proud of it !

well...as a former walker myself, I think climbing down is easier than the other way
Thank you for your appreciation Brian Lama I have many nepali friends also their attitude same with some Filipinos very kind and understanding

@@brianlama2931 I hope this pandemic will done soon and back to normal. I wish you can comeback to visit our country again. Keep safe always and God bless you 😊😊😊
These documentaries made me appreciate my time going to school even more. Though heartbreaking, the courage of these kids are very inspirational.
Side note though, basketball is the most popular sport in the Philippines, but that is not our national sport. It is sepak-takraw. A form of foot ball using a ball made of wooden straw.
I was just gonna say. Sadly tho, and to a surprise, they changed it to Arnis in 2009. it's funny how they can just change it like that. Sepak takraw is way more fun.
We're all Filipino here right?
@@imnchstruntd Arnis back then was a dying art so its promotion as a national sport ensures its conservation, if i remember correctly 😆😅
There's still a lot to improve especially the officiating and gears they use. Their current kit makes fighting look a little bit awkward. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The more of these I watch the more I realize how easy I have it where I live, and have no right to complain about things. People out there in the world have it far, far worse than me. I've not be able to fully comprehend just how bad they have it until I started watching these videos.
Props to showing us, and hope they get the help they need to make the trips to school and home much safer in the future.
You have every right to complain. Everyone’s struggles are valid. Just because someone else has more difficulties, it doesn’t make your difficulties any less.
@@rachelcookie321 Truth
I let my 12 year old watch this and he is now begin to realize that how fotunate he is for not walking in going to school now i can see the difference if i wake him up i can hear no more complain in going to school. And he love seeing other kids in different countries...thank God for this vedio...
🤩👍
Good job. I know my son would be crying for me. All day. 🤣🤣
oh btw its "video" no offence :)
DaFafa😂
God had nothing to do with making this video, people who traveled there did.
While watching this documentary, it made me realize that I am a lucky person for going to school safe.
Thank You for liking this comment. It means a lot to me and it’s the first time I got a lot of liking❤️😆❤️
My favorite chanel💖
I am proud of you all who went through this .i am a Kenyan from Kenya 🇰🇪 who went through like the documentary long 13km walk but like the masaai I never faced lion’s leopards and elephants like in the Kenyan documentary it made me shed tears I am proud of whom I am today
The natural beauty in this country is astounding...reminds me of my country. My goodness I couldn't travel this journey...what incredible Children. Filipinos are such beautiful wholesome people. A lot of them work in the healthcare sector here in the UK and I've realised how kind hearted they are. The percentage of population in poverty in their country is shocking, but also something that my country is going through. I pray they achieve their dreams and may the sacrifices of the parents also be recognised here too. 💖💖💖
Filipinos are great people, happy and friendly even if they are poor
The poorest people always seem happier while the wealthiest always seem unhappy ungrateful and unwilling to help others
It's because we learn how to appreciate little things around us but not all us like that.....
True 😘
IDIOT NOT.ALL HAHAHAHA WHAT THE HECK R U SAYING 😆😆
Its truly it is.....
This channel deserve millions of subcribers, an eye opener of our generation today..
I wonder if any of the details are fabricated to make it seem worse than it is...
@@uncleruckus3149 let say they have changed some details for cinematic and dramatic impact for viewers, but we cannot change the fact that they are living in remote areas of the Philippines and facing all problems everyday...the bottom of it all is they are poor people and they need our help..
Best show that ive seen for awhile
The communists in the US school system would never allow it because all these countries sing a national anthem at school! Oh the HORROR!

I remember my school days in the rural area of the Philippines in the 1950s. It is worst or more like this, miserable in the rainy season. Most of my contemporary dropped outs of school as soon as they finished 6th grade, but thanks to my parents who never gave up on me. I am one of the lucky one. My heart goes with these children.
Much funds for school infrastructure goes to the wrong hands. Ask your local representa- tives. These schoolchildren deserve the best in life. Everything is being corrupted, though.
Meanwhile a spoiled kid is throwing a fit for not getting the latest iphone for his birthday.
Especially here in the US..man privileged brats
My thoughts exactly. It seems when education is free and easily accessible, kids and parents don’t value it.
Lol ikr
Well that's because those "spoiled" kids do not live in abject poverty in a remote jungle somewhere in this beautiful planet. No doubt, if any of those jungle kids lived in an industrial country, they too would be "throwing fits over the latest iPhone" and vice versa the "spoiled" children would behave like those in this documentary. It's situational, dear.
@@LalasKitchenCo That is indeed true, and that's why the parents play a huge role in educating their kids as to not be so spoiled-- I know some absolutely terrible rich kids, but I also know rich kids who have high moral and self discipline. Likewise, some poor kids are well, horrifying (I am poor myself, I've seen stuff some poor, bored kids are capable of) and others like the ones in the video, are well-worth the respect.
I really hope the producers of this series give money to the families they film. Even like $30 USD would make a huge difference.
Yes thats good
We can only hope so ❤
yeah, it would. because 1 US dollar is 48 of the philippines' currency (as now, i think) so it would be 1440
Why Only producer? But we all can put some efforts on them.
Why
I cried while watching this video because I'm living in the rainforest in davao here in Mindanao Philippines .I personally experience this. Oh God bless us all.
Do you know any westerners such as British people that live there?
I salute the 4 children for being very brave and i appeal to the Philippines central gov't to set up elementary schools near the communities so as to reduce these journeys.Ibee and Ryan are great heroes,not only in Phillipines but the World over and i wish them success
I had same childhood experience when I was young, I also grew up in Zamboanga . My struggles are now paid off as I am an international teacher here in Japan for 15 years now. For 11 years now, I have been helping poor schools and children in the Philippines through my outreach missions.
That's great to know that you are doing something to try help these kids,but obviously enough is not being done,those kids lives are in danger from everything,.

What is the NAME of the school?
@@marymcdonagh2145 why are you shouting? calm yourself down lmao 😂
You are an inspiration Balikbayan
So proud of you.
And I'm crying 😭😭 just imagine walk 2 hours just for school. God take care all of them, makes their dreams come true.
i wish i could donate...
Aameen🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
The same wish!
God helps only those who help themselves. Poor couples must cease having children they can't provide for! It's insane!!!
"Ryan isn't like other children. He's wonderful."
My kids are the others
I also experienced walking to school every day during elementary grade and I thought it was quite tough but when I've seen this, I felt blessed and sorry for them. I struggled also in the school but fortunately, with the help of my parents, friends, and the love of God, I graduated and am now a teacher at a state university. It is courage, willingness, and hope that would set you to your goals in life. Keep safe. God bless.
A 90 degree hike.. in flip flops. I'm speechless. I feel like i've lost my every right to complain about having to commute anywhere. No child should have to live like this. I wish we could help them.
This is nothing new to us...
We don't have school buses. We walk miles and miles to school. My dad 6 mountains every week. My kids got tired of my mouth. I yell especially at the older ones being late in the bus stop when literally just in front of our house. I told you all just don't know. One time I took them back home and let them stay in the mountains and farm no cell phone, no running water, no warm water. They can't wait to go back. Then the older one was planning to take medicine back to the Philippines. Last minute she changed her mind. She said she will die there without these life comfort in the US.
5-6 years ago we have so many patients admitted for depression when the economy was bad. I told them you need to visit our islands. People don't have time to get depressed. Why? People are busy looking for something to eat. Kids walking miles, miles to go to school when home you just have time to eat and sleep.
Save the children. Children international. World vision. These are good programs for child sponsorship I have found. This might be an option for you?
this documentary has motivated me to study harder...

I dont want to sound spoiled and mean, but damn their way to school is amazingly beutiful, full with greann life and palms, and grass carpets🤩
XD
It has taught me to be great full and not complain.
@@barbaradwyer2106 agree
Its breaks my heart to see my fellow Filipino suffering like this just to have a better future. Plus the fact that they are children, the way to school is very risky. I hope our government will do something about this. 🙏🙏🙏
My heart is breaking watching this, I'm a filipino myself, I also grew up in a poor family but never experience such intense scene just to get to school. As a mother now It's hard to see these children risk their life just to get education, this is very sad. I can only wish they could get the help they need. If I'm only close to their province I would.
❤
Poor children 😢
Something I learned that ingrained to my brain and life.. "poverty is the greatest educator, education is the greatest equilizer."
philippines has been in pooverty like since for ever🙄i hope that education give friuts soon🤷♂️😉
corruption govertment
Bless these children, I hope they become sucessful one day and achieve their dreams.
I hope so too. They deserve it.
@@FreeDocumentary Also I am so lucky to have found this amazing channel. thank you so much for these documentaries, such sheer brilliance in each and every documentary.
Our President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, I loved this present government administration. He is really for the people. His " BUILD, BUILD, BUILD" program. Not the same previous government administration the focus on self interest...
All videos of dangerous roads to school must be watched by European students, satisfied and with all the conveniences of learning. To see how children without opportunities want to learn and do not stop at any difficulties to get to school. I am shocked. I embrace these children, parents and teachers with all my heart. My big bow to them.
I'm from the Philippines also but I am from a more urbanized area and our family are financially well. We have a car and a driver sends me to and picks me up at school. There are times when I complain because I am to sleepy to go to school. Only when I grew up did I realize how priveleged I am.
WHY DOES THE GOVT RELOCATE THE SCHOOL? IT BREAKS MY HEART TO SEE THIS INHUMAN WAY AND RISKING THE LIVES OF THE CHILDREN>?IT IS A MISTAKE TO BUILD THE SCHOOL IN THE HEART OF THE FOREST>?THIS IS NOT FAIR AND IT IS NOT RIGHT.
@@lydiamalahay5128 because the school is in a central location. If they move the school to the bottom of the mountain than kids like Ryan will have to walk for double the amount of time. He would be unable to get to school because it would take him 4 hours. It is built in an area that gives the most kids a chance to be able to get to school.
The way he greets his grandmother upon returning home... quite touching, and probably, one of the most beautiful greetings I've ever seen. If nothing else, as the country makes its way towards progress, I hope the family values never fade.
Edit: I've done some research, and apparently, the gesture is called *mano* (hand) and it’s used to show respect to elders.
Spectral it will never fades cause we Filipinos value are family we put family first before ouself....even we graduated college we still help them and live with them even our grandparents still living with us under the same roof...thats how we value each other ...
family values is an important part of our culture as filipinos. it is taught in school, taught at home and observed in everyday life.
Filipino Muslims doesn't have that 'mano po' culture.
I dont like how they just touch like that. It seems cold. Hug!
Mano po, is a way to show respect to elderly especially to our grandparents. I'm 39 and I am still doing Mano po to my grandparents, they will give their blessing after the Mano po. I also taught my kids here in Canada Mano Po.
i am a filipino. i also lived from Mindanao, the Province Of North Cotabato. i also spent my childhood days walking a kilometers away from school because lack of money so we dont have a choice but to walk to and fro. my parents income are not enough to support my studies so i help myself so i decided to work to earn some single centavo. sometimes i sell fresh vegetables in our neighbours. i never quit even though i felt it so tired sometimes. i never think that poverty is an hendrance to reach what you want to achieve in life. i always listen to my parsnts advice. i marked ir on my mind that mobody can help you finish your course but just yourself alone.
so i thank you for making this short video or documsntary. and thank you for the efforts you gave. it reminds me a lot my childhood days 15years ago.
What are you doing now?

Honestly I love the staff of the secondary school. Most countries punish the student for being late regardless of the circumstances. These staff realize that its a feat for the kids to even make it to school and just do their best to make up anything they miss.

'Whatever it takes to get to school' ... Hats off to the families and the children. Education! 👍
And I even hate sitting on a stiff seat of our yellow bus ferrying us for free. Free laptop and school lunch didn't motivate me but this docu makes me ...
Are you from the U.S? In my school we have a bunch of free stuff too
Children in the Philippines is one of the most hard-working in the world. And I'm proud of that. 🇵🇭
State however should be ashamed.
Proud of what? Proud of depriving children of their childhood and forcing them to work!
The most stupid comment I've read in years🤔🤔🤔
frank ocean well thats Filipino in a nutshell hahahahah
@@Jay-fv2fm hahahah
FRANTIC ™ all countries has hard workers
It's almost 2years from now..
I hope this children is doing well.. GODBLESS THIS CHILDREN 🥰
Education is very important in Philippines. I remember my parents telling us Education is the only thing they can give us. So proud that despite poverty my parent let us finish college. Now I lived and work in other country with my family.
She said."Importante makahoman ko ug skwela para makatabang sa akong mama" in English, The "most important thing is to finish my studies. So that, i could help my mother in the future.
It made me teary-eyed.
I think it's great that Fredrick the principal decided to stay servicing his hometown. Especially he understands local's challenges
yeah he could easily moved to a big city and be paid a lot higher but decided to stay and serve his townsfolks 🥰
Ivy...I kept thinking of how she was climbing or going down the hill in flipflops and a t-shirt in the rain and my heart sank. I am Kenyan so I do understand her journey a little bit. I pray for all the children who have to walk for hours on end in quest for education. May God watch over them.
That famous respect called "mano"
Sana madami pang kabataan ang gumagawa niyan

I am a teacher and I understand how hard it is for pupils who experience this hardship just to go to school everyday. That is why it is important that we need to know their background. There is diversity of learners. One of the factors why they dont perform well in class is because of their situation in life. Lucky are those who are studying in cities.
The people who are studying in the cities took the opportunity for granted though. Some complain for nothing. My heart goes out to these children
Very well said.
I cried when they start singing our national anthem. Maybe because I survived those days when I did go to school as well.. keep on grindin don’t give up. There’s a reward to your sacrifices.
Daddy Keith’s Blessing yes there are ❤️god bless
Such beautiful countryside. Such beautiful people. The principal is so kind not punishing the children from far away.
I've been binging on this series. I will never, ever complain about any amount of walking I will ever do in the future! God Bless these children's lives! May they never know hunger, never know loss, and be grateful for their prosperity God has awaiting them all. Please Lord, set them all up for success! In Jesus Name, Amen!
THE CHILDREN HAS SUCH TENACITY, LORD I ASK THAT YOU BLESS THEM ALL
_props to the camera man for taking part of the climbing too_
Oooh..... a hetalian LOL
He use drone
@@spencerjaymatula3472 Not for all shots no. There would indeed be cameramen and other crew following the children, as can be seen by some of the angles.
It’s their work
I am thinking while watching this documentary, when i was there in school which was near by 600 miters from my home and delayed for 5-10 minutes monthly once or twice..but these guys are doing so much, I have some friends working in Dubai from Philippines, and we have a good co-operation with each other. Lots of love from my bottom of heart for Philippines..God will give a huge success to these guys..
I am from Philippines, I also had an experience when I was in elementary to highschool , 6 yrs in elem, and 4 yrs in highschool . We walked , passing rivers so that was so hard. When I reached in college , I was a working student too. Now , I'm very happy to say that I am working as a teacher in Philippines.
"Everything has a purpose so don't give up"😇
It would do our American children to watch these videos just so they can understand how precious education is indeed these videos should even be shown to kids at schools as part of social studies
Yes so true! That is a wonderful idea!
Yes so true! That's a wonderful idea!
i remember complaining about the long 2 minute walk to the school bus stop and the even longer 10 min ride on the old Bluebird.
American children are so lucky. 🙌
Greetings from the Philippines! 🇵🇭
,I just told and showed this video with my son he's in third grade...he loves school and he loves to learn and listen to my stories back home in my country Philippines...i told him to always be grateful and thankful
I keep watching the series and hoping the Philippines will also be featured. Here it is thank you....
Samw heeeere

This is the scariest documentary among all the episodes I have watched in this docuseries. While all the others were also hard, none were as terrifying as this,. Is there an update on how these kids are doing now ? I hope that these children can attend a boarding school with help from sponsors.
Aibe and Ryan are both still studying and both are well
Watch the Kenya ones and the one from India on Ladakh.
This is so heart breaking yet inspiring! they should chase their dreams! Wishing them good luck on their travels
I love love love this school video series together with "the world' most dangerous roads" series of documentaries.

Yeah me too. I luv also the Siberia episode. Yesterday I watched the "Most dangerous Roads, Nepal. Next, I'm going to watch, "Most Dangerous Ways to School, Nicaragua.
So much respect for these children. I wish I can make their lives easier ..
Im proud to say I'm a Filipina, I'm from Mindanao also, specifically , from South Cotabato. and I'm agree , there are lots of places here Philippines that has the same situation. Not also Amin Mindanao but also from some part of Luzon and Visayas too. Many learners dedicated to go to school, and even the teachers too, they do it the same, passing by in river and hiking. no matter how hard it is. 🥰. Just to learn.
Hello from Belgrade, Serbia. Philippines people are very friendly! We love all of you! Sveto and Zorica
Best documenrtry I have came across in CZcams please upload more videos. Love from India
Armaan Thapa ....i watching the documentary. The dangerous ways to school in himalayan india....is also very difficult because of the big river then frozen ice also to much cold...watching from saudi arabia....my home town is Philippines...
I have watched so many of these and learnt so many lessons been humbled emotional in absolute ore of what a human being is capable of thankyou very much for these videos been a massive help during lockdown.

Most villages realize how difficult it is to get resources in and out, as well as the time lost. You need a team to dedicate a little time each week to making the way safer instead of worrying.
This was also my experience, when I was in elementary to secondary... Although not that climbing cliff but very similar to it. That made me even more determined to pursue my studies... Now I'm sharing my experience to my students., that poverty is not a hindrance to success but it's an inspiration to succeed in life.
May God Bless these young minds to succeed thier own endeavors.

Be a good citizen of your country, small step for a change..
Be grateful with everything you have right now and be inspired by them :)
Hi, im a Filipino and have really felt your concern. Thank you for that. One of the imidiate thing you can do for now is to study hard to make better future for those less fortunate children like on this video. ^_^ . Other is that you can use the social media to raise awareness of their situation or even start a charity for them through it ^_^
SCIENCE CHILD You can share this video with your whole school and I bet you donations can come through.You have a kind heart Wish you the best
Makes feel bad. Had it so good when I was kid in Southern California. Now I have a daughter n granddaughters in the Philippines 🇵🇭 I make sure they have food n house n everything they need to make life simpler for them.
Thanks FD for featuring a challenging side as we quest for quality education here in the Philippine Islands. Glad to see the "Mano Po" gesture is captured here ( gesture of touching the back of the hand of an elder lightly on one's forehead). To non-Filipinos here, that's the basic gesture that he gave to our Parents, Grand Parents or any Elders as sign of respect every time we see them at home or any other occasions.
My heart goes out to these kids. So courageous. May success side with them in future.
I am man, dentist, 51 ys from Vietnam I really tear my eye when watching your documentary . Now I living in Hochiminh city ( a biggest city of southern Vietnam ) but I never forget the my way to school in my childhood ( 1976 - 1987 ) thank you so much
I applaud the teachers and the principal for their commitment to their jobs. I hope things will get better.
The location of their house is not ideal relative to the school. They are separated by a mountain. A school has to be built near her place but maybe there are not enough students in her place.
@@wavemaker2077 I understand that. I wonder if there is any other alternative such as having only 2-3 days of classes. On those other days at home these children may work on workbooks. It would not be perfect but it would cut down on the dangerous trips these kids take every week.
@@bolagg6676 It actually may work on her since her mother is a teacher. The other solution is for her to ride a bike in going to school.
@@wavemaker2077 If she can bike up the steep climbs daily, the Philippine Olympic Committee might as well sponsor her to be a future bicycling star. Hehe.
@@bolagg6676 It's not all steep climbs. She can walk on steep climbs but ride the bike on the rest of the road.
Coming from an urban area of the Philippines, seeing fellow Filipinos go through this is heartbreaking
Thank you! “free documentary” for reminding this old bones, about the days when I was the same old as these kids, walking kilometers away from home just to get to school. Still, I’m lucky enough that we had road in our province near my place, quite bumpy but good already. A bit far from school but lucky enough as compared to these kids especially those who lived like me in remote places in the Philippines who really don’t have any options but to bring extra clothes as they really have to climb mountains or even crossed rivers just to get to school.
Am I the only one that cries watching this docuseries?and I still continue watching
Yup iam also really tq u
Me too it's really heartbreaking!
Thanks 😊...I'm a Filipino too
Me too watched straight 2 documentaries of this series... Nicaragua and this...really tiresome for these kids...let their path to school change soon and faster...!
me too.. so heartbreaking
May these children achieve their goals. May God continue to keep them safe. I sincetely wish that their government could make a better and easier way of transportation for them.
