Little Badjao Girl way of surviving in the Philippines suburbian Traffic

These so called Badjao Children - a Philippine Minority equivalent to nomads of the desert, or the gypsies in central or eastern Europe.

They thrive during heavy traffic conditions along the stretch of Aguinaldo Hi-way in Bacoor and Imus, Cavite.

They are ambulant, ride from one jeepney to another, play their improvised PVC tamborines/ congos/ percussions and sing their mantras... I cant understand the song or language they speak, for the Filipino majority, this is foreign sounding.

Nothing is free... it is quite a feat to be able to get a video shoot of these kids... they normally avoid cameras... I have been waiting to steal this shot for the longest time.

Afterwards, this girl approached me... it costed my P15. :-) Anyway, it certainly made my day... knowing that these kids can survive the harsh concrete and urban jungle... under the heat and cold weather. they dont have the luxury of vaccinations, yet they flourish and thrive under these adversities.

Maybe God takes care of them... maybe, their genes are much stronger due to the fact that they have less alien chemicals in their bodies...

There's more thought I wish to provoke with this video.

The exodus of Filipinos to go for a greener pasture outside the country is clearly a manifestation of how mismanaged our country is.

The lack of imagination results to hypocritical visions and goals causes bad governance.

Leaders of this country are greed driven - all possessing narcistic and edifice complexes... tend to be self righteous and justify their lavish - extravagant lifestyles.

Blaming the poor for being poor and telling the poor that it is a sin to be poor and they are poor because it's their own fault - because they are lazy.

This self-glorifying syndrome adds to a self-destructive pattern of mentality detrimental to the welfare of the nation as a whole - resulting to slave trade and labor export.

Leaving the children to fend for their own.

If we look at the pattern based on the history of the Philippines during the last 500 years... we are going to a down trend in terms of being Masters... and an uptrend in terms of becoming Slaves.

Wake Up! Philippines...
