- Child Labour (1996): A shocking report on child labour in the Philippines.
Subscribe to Journeyman here: www.youtube.com...
Synopsis: Child labour is a huge problem in the Philippines. Children, often from rural parts of the country, are lured to the city with promises of a good job and a decent salary. The reality however is far worse than they can imagine. ABC Australia speaks to victims of the Philippines' child labour culture, and to experts on how the issue can be improved.

ABC Australia - Ref. 0194
I suggest the government should prioritize family-centered programs like, responsible parenthood, etc.
im a 55 yr old filipino, i personally know 3 grandmothers of my friends who have experienced this horror because of poverty. but it was not as bad as now..
I'm a Filipino and I'm writing about the root of child labour that has something to do with family planning, religion and parents' "poor mentality". I came across this video while doing my research. Catholic Church encouraging families to be "fruitful and multiply" - from weddings, christening, birthdays, property blessings are all sources of money making to the church. Couples who can't even afford to put food on the table relies on "bahala na si Lord" which means leave it to the Lord whatever will be their future is. So they took chances to build families when they can't even afford it. Hence, resulting to this - the children suffers. Children can't say no to parents - parents keep telling their kids that they are poor and they have to sacrifice for their parents. This kind of mentality carries on from the eldest working for the family to supporting themselves to go to school then supporting the rest of their siblings to go to school until everyone finishes school or find another job to support the family. So they end up either finishing school or working for the rest of their lives while their parents are telling them "we are poor, this is our fate". If this is ingrained to every Filipino youth, you will hear a lot of them saying Philippines is poor, our country is poor - yes that kind of poor mentality. Instead of striving for better future.
Agreed. Unfortunately is happening in all too many countries.
Some other places where I know the same happens includes China and Thailand, and I am sure they are plenty of other countries.
But I would like to remind everyone that if it wasn't for alot of the good work done by journeymanpictures alot of people would have no idea about alot of the problems faced by regular everyday people, things like this are usually not covered by the media, so JP is way above them morally and for that they have my admiration and support.
Ako ang gusto ko lahat ng Pilipino asensado (sana) dahil natanim sa isipan ko ang Pilipinong matalino at may common sense.........gusto kong maipagmalaki ang bansang Pilipinas, papaano ko pa ba maipagmamalaki......kung wala na akong dapat pang ipagmalaki........nasaan na ang common sense at ang talino ng Pilipino?
This was made in 1996, aka 17 years ago. I hope things are steadily getting better over there as the Philippine economy continues to grow at a fast pace.

In the Philippines the Catholic church opposes the Reproductive Health Bill, which in addition to health care promotes access to family planning. The Church claims that 5 to 7 children per family is best for the PI because this provides a continuing source of “CHEAP LABOR”. Sadly part of this cheap labor involves children. Let me ask any Catholic two questions: 1. When was the last time you saw a starving priest in the Philippines? 2. What would Jesus say about Catholics promoting child labor?
filipinos have a lot of dreams, intelligent how to handle life but the problem is only selected people who can have chancees to reach their dreams because of poverty. i pray poor people will experience better living someday.
This video was back in 1996. Has anything been done since then? Any update video?
I'm glad the little fella made it back home.
Do what makes me go CRAZY!? These people take the time to produce these videos but the NEVER leave info on where viewers can help the victims in these videos. I’ve watched hundreds of these videos. Especially the Al JAzeera English videos about Philippines and slums. I’ve contacted them to try to help these victims over and over but Never have gotten a response. Not once. There’s someone willing to take them out of the hell they are in and all these people care about is making and uploading the damn film.
i hate to say this. but i blame the spanish who conquered us. why? they only focused on manila, as the center of everything... trading,culture,etc.
so people from "below"(i know it's a racist term) tend to have the stereotypical belief: "life is better in manila"
-that's the main reason our city have the most homeless/poverty-rich people.
----kumbaga naniniwala ung mga nasa probinsya na giginhawa buhay nila kapag nagtrabaho sila sa maynila. "MAYNILA"
if it were my daughter, i would take them to justice swiftly, if the judiciary dont,
Why don't they put subtitles on these videos!
Helping making a better world
one of the things that you cant changed in the world..
Mas mabuti kung ang bansa ay hindi kawawa. Ang mga pilipino lang naman ang gumagawa ng dahilan para ang bansa ay maging kawawa.
This children should not be brought out in this world.Poor victims of poverty! while politicians enjoying a glass of wine or beer with a lavish savioury food inside government building.
These people are a citizen without a country!!!Deprived of their own rights
their childhood have been taken away..
Kaya naman magtipid na kayo sa panganganak.......kung ganyan pagdurusa lang ang sasalubong sa kanila dito sa Mundo! Huwag nalang ako ipanganak kung ganyan lang ang magiging buhay ko.
its just the way it is in the world and i dont think we can change that. its just the sad truth.
Parenting in Phil is as simple as dumping a fetus on the ground and kicking it towards a pile of trash where it can salvage anything of value
true when they want to study. They want to study for their dream but here today we don't like studying very much
i am 28 and still alone,dont have childs.....sure i want have,just havent with anybody.:(
Please consider this: If you thank the Church, the priests, for the good things they do should you not also blame them for the bad things that they do? And please try to answer the question of what Jesus would say about the Catholic church promoting child labor? If you had experience with a kind priest from Europe I am happy for you. But don’t thank the church for what a good man did for you unless you can blame the church if a bad priest does something bad.
i am very depressed now
sa darating na eleksyon sa 2010 ang mga pulitiko na naghahagad at nangagarap na maging presidente ng bansa ay dapat lang makialam at pagtuunan ng pansin ang child labor na pangunahing problema sa pilipinas. dapat magkaroon ng mga bata ng sariwang buhay at dapat magpairal ng mga karapatan ng mga bata para sa kanilang kinabukasan
overpopulation is very bad for humanity because recourses are getting over used. and that slows down the humanity from where it began
this is still not knew--they have a goverment--this still goes on --2010
One time I posted a comment in Philstar. I said, "what child labor? Kung yun ngang mga matatanda walang makitang trabaho, yun pa kayang mga bata? kaya nagpapa-alila sa abroad mga Pinoy!" I added, "child prostitutes, marami tayo" The damn editors (or censors) deleted that comment plus my other "fine" (really!) comments that day. I guess they don't want to hear my truth.
to them that's life...
OH! MGA BATA......pagpasenyahan niyo nalang mga magulang niyo ha?. Kailangan maintendehan ninyo na ang mga magulang ninyo ay walang alam tungkol sa family planning.
this is still not new--they have a goverment--this still goes on --2010
no subtitles
Watching this for school :D
I will save my people one day
America. Enough said
Think of those children. Should there be no jobs in mining, they will be dying due to starvation. They are yet better off by working in those inferior conditions. Those 50 businessmen gaining from mining at least buy some products such as clothing, real estate and thus at least some Filipinos have jobs and can afford to buy food. Compare that to a situation where those mines are not utilized at all.
if they don`t have money then work harder and don`t gave birth, my parent was poor back then I remember that when I was 9 years old they both work hard to feed me and get to school and they did not have a proper education yet they done it now at least we are in middle class not poor not rich but Im happy with it, hope you understand what I say we once poor so I know (sorry for my bad english )
loko loko yong taga social welfare. ni rescue nila tapos binalik doon sa Mindanao. Sana tinulongan na lanang nilang maka pagtrabaho with guardian consent halimbawa sa mga fast food restaurant. Hindi na kaya ng bata ang buhay sa Mindanao. Atleast sa Manila kahit pinapag trabaho hindi sila gutom. Ngayon dagdag pakainin pa siya, malnaurish na nga yong mga kapatid at mga tatay nanay niya.
Social worker hindi lang hangang rescue dapat tulongang mabubuhay ang biktima.
I wonder whether you'd be so matter of fact about it if it was your little brother or son in their shoes...
i wish the rest lof the anguage in english
is it their fault if they don't have anough money.
That's easy to say but without people who knows about family planning na mag eeducate sa kanila, wala rin yang mga sinasabi mo. If you're concerned, bakit hindi mo subukang pumunta sa mga bundok para magturo ng methods of family planning? How do you think they'd do that without supplies of condoms and pills?? Hindi yun ganun kadali para sa kanila. Wag puro salita, samahan mo ng gawa. Hindi makakatulong ang hate. They need true concerned fellowmen.
I'm Filipino too, i admit that politics in Philippines really sucks, rich asshole people
we just pray for them, i know every people
will pay for their crimes on judgement day.
but there are still good things there.
Shameful.
this is so sad the people in Davao 70% are out of work for years, there is just no work there so what can they do for money? there is only massive banana crops in Mindanao and with the population growth they are abused by their own people in many ways. i have a home there and it is sad the most wonderful caring people on earth yet they are suffering. their government taxes even the money from the ones who go to other countries 2 work & send money back it is a billion dollar income for their Gov.
@FiIipinoUnggoy Everyone has a tendency to boast for no good reason. In the Asian world it is done to save face. Then when someone finds out, they generally get angry at themselves for looking weak. It has nothing to do with you other than you saw their weakness. At least it's not like in China, where if it happens they will retaliate and turn it around, aimed at you. From my own experience, that is a brutal thing to have to go through. It has the ability to ruin lives.
megahazel you are right. The main motivation for the exploitation is actually guilt. Pinoys work their children because they are doing what they have to do. The priviliged media should live in a rice field and farm rice for 3 months before they open their mouth on a subject like this, more power to you.
yeah... I'm a filipino...
CLMinzyDaraBom who cares
@@danielkirkland3366 🖕
poverty has been in the philippines before, its here today and tomorrow. this story is old. this people are trying to find somebody to feel sorry for them, since they no longer have their colonial masters to blame for their misfortunes.
children-related problems are products of irresponsible parenthood
GO PHILLIPINES!!
I will have to see child labour in India, Bangladesh and child labour Holywood.
hmmm... sabi nga ni KUYA BOB ONG sa aklat niyang "BAKIT BALIKTAD MAGBASA NG LIBRO ANG MGA PILIPINO", e, kinakailangan muna nating huwag laiitin ang sariling bansa.. doon magsisimula ang pagbabago sa bansa natin..
Well, sometimes it is.
Poor people, can either actually struggle for a living, and then there is some that just sit on the ass all day not caring that they have a job or not. You can easily go get a job. And guess what, what if they want to have children? You don't have the right to say "their 2 stupid 2 get birth contol" it's their discision, but im not saying it's a good one, but maybe they always wanted kids or something. so your in no place to be calling someone stupid.
You are crazy to believe that after 400 years you are still blaming Spain for the condition of the Philippines and that America is what is dragging the country. What are you? Have you done anything positive for the country? If you are Filipino, stop blaming others and take part of the responsibility as to why the country is still considered a 3rd world country.
back in the days there is no child labor all members of the family must pitch in to make a living.. what can u do if your poor!!if u dont have land of your own u need to doo odd jobs.. this guys filming this dont understand coz there not in their situation ..atleast children in 3rd world country are not lazy and spoiled like the children in rich countries they know what life is all about!!! its sad yes but thats life,
I will help you translate?
I feel sorry but now I'm a Fillipino now I'm in the uk but this is horrible back then I mean I'm glad I'm eating chocolate right now and sitting in my bed
tht a UK mate i know this i think there the look even to mutch about citizens huh very good govermant both a lot of people using it......
Ganoon ba.... inewkiller ? Wala na pala silang magiging problema kapag bumagyo at bumaha....
It's earlier!
i guess they are just following protocol.
miss ko na ang jollibee
then you are working overseas alone? I guess you should tell them do family planning even though it sounds rude to them, I mean its hard to work on different country and helping them, you still have your own life but its ok to send little amount of money for bill and food but luxury nahhh
stimmt.......
I have a defense on this!! Wish me luck guys!! :)
Ako po bata pa lang napapanood ko na yan sa tv noong 90s na puro reypan ang palabas. Church ako nabiktima at sa employment.
Uhm may problema po ang Filipino. Ugali nyo mga mandurugas. Tinotolerate sa matatandang lalaki ang karahasan at bullying.
why u hating thise people so mutch?whts wrong wth you?
I neeeeeeeeeed traaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanslatiooooooooooon! I dont understand phillipino shit!
Ha ha, you did make me laugh...don't get me started on that subject though..
Hate to agree with you most of what you wrote here are true. GRRRRR! :) I don't think any country is jealous of the Philippines. But you are so correct when you say that we the Filipinos are the ones who is dragging the country and not helping with its progress. Now as for this video, this is so damn pathetic. 2007 when the video was done and we still have slavery in the country and I am sure until today it exists in the Philippines. SAD! :(

@wildenights You seriously think it's the Filipino's culture thats the problem here?
It is a cultural problem. The Filipino society allows this. They have voted for a dictator who promised to fix problems by killing people in public. It's a barbaric society.
hinde natatagal 30% in the philippines will live in the ocean XD
Not the Asian..research more.
pucha batangueno yung child trafficer hahaha go ballisong!
POPULATION CONTROL
bottomline Job Job Job
Right...
Because as you know the parents of these children have been taught about family planning and the use of contraceptives among other things. /sarcasm
Think before you type fool.
Paqiou now for president!
Hey look! It's my kid!

@richo12345678 visayan =)
I have no idea what you are talking about. If you would learn better english I might. You are wasting others time as well as yours when you write so incoherently.
