who have no time to run. according to unicef the philippines have a couple 1000000 abandoned or discarded children. they run from the social services rescue operation. but. if you see mother and child who was in the same. diesel fijian place. i. am on it so she doesn't just take it easy. come concepts out of combat if you seen anything. like that when she comes from our house we're just selling we're selling it what it is what you have in your hand to give it up i made it was like. oh my god we're

selling my family is there. was a little bit of. a man a. actually i was a bit of a actually children don't want to be in institutions it's out of the assisted cinema feel it's easier on the street because i was going to have to beg and i can do with a plate number one and will still need it so i am long in the his son but the problem is that the children go back to the streets even though that has been listening to the families agree that nothing to have been said that he would not. face we have here a 15 year old mother with a year old child to find them up to do sometimes we have babies who have been taken within harvest. the rescue

of the street children is like a never ending circle. where children are taken released back to the streets and taken again. inside the same gate is a shelter for the homeless and a correctional facility for children who have committed crimes the human rights commission consider both places as prison i would have to empty some of this stuff and it looks like prison i mean to say they have a rule 5 which we have buyers the wires. have metal to. be his as large as very few sleeping spaces not enough for all children to be inside a building full baby building not being. children who wind up here often come from alleys like these. extreme poverty in the center of manila.

the owner of the bus demanded that the mother pay over $80.00 euros. but those who live in these alleys can't afford it i am not talking about that. last. weekend i said to them myself i was on the street he said to me that the situation is this old woman you need to get that if you will pay in one form that take the boy into an institution not unhealthy and the 2 highest in the money. i said no this company he said the miner and he hasn't killed anyone. raymond and reynald live with their mother and 2 siblings in terrible conditions.

they've hardly ever gone to school. they've encountered the police a lot more than that. i don't mean 1000 looming on my hope raymond want to experience what i've made it through. to the net and definitely wouldn't like it. i might want to commit suicide in the institution i don't just mean on one i'm willing. to do more than many take their lives because it's so bad there on the letters of the food is terrible on the up and even the rice is a coke you know playing them and going on. i. can't name them.

from broken homes where the parents are often too exhausted to take care of children after mari cell has 6 children they live in a small room and marie sell sells used clothing with her sister that normally isn't even enough for a day's meal. out so i'm a single parent in order to get food daily i go around selling secondhand clothes with my older sister and i know i'm in the bike. or so i also work in booking and or not i do anything that is available and i'll take things to a pawn shop because of my work i can't always take care of my children all the time . some look out the 'd window i do know that.

collins foundation friend is one of the registered ones too which authorities give children to be taken care of from overcrowded children's homes. i think. today 2 youths go with him. john paul and rolando have been locked up several times now and the reason often being breaking the curfew. for long though is only 14 and according to the law too young to be there. in manila minors can be on the streets alone after 10 pm. shay cullen searches for the children's parents to tell them that the boys are taken to pressure outside of manila in

a long uphill. battle. oh . john paul's father is a single parent. his wife left when the child was 5 years old. it was like many poor filipinos this father works for weeks on end on construction sites far away from home. but a lot of the pay is poor. when the children are used to being home alone from a young age. ok i am a. little as a man i. don't want that i'm sometimes i'm so tired for work but when i come home i go to bed that the best on them because they have to leave for

work early and i don't think them preparation i would go and get into it a little we won't have food unless i work at it i don't care about losing my wife that about that but i don't want to lose my children. and i'm going to bury my level without i don't know now that. that. made a plan and i'm old and i hope that one day the children will take care of me and. when i got back one parents would ask them. but they understand that i didn't abandon it and you have to fill in more than a little thing up to me. even though i couldn't send of the school and they didn't start my niggas in the middle of.

chez cohen takes the boys to the shelter and predator. the irish priest has been saving philippine children since the 1960 s. . this estate in the countryside is a home for boys who would otherwise be in prison under the control of the authorities. here the boys draw about their experiences in children homes he says one of the pictures of the children drawing about what happened to him inside is only a small little boy and. he's only he's only a small boy not even 12 years old he's been inside the jail behind bars and they tortured him there he showed here that this is they gave him an electric shock. as a punishment no. this is

a guard. we're not a little. isolation room they put them i so lated as a punishment. and . they have directors who want us to massage them. some have mental illness. and you would. you know what can you tell a. welder's many of these these jails for children they're like maybe evil dungeons are small cells with steel bars on the gates and on the windows.

locked inside so my me over crowding in a small space they don't have beds in most of these places they sleep on the concrete floor there's. many places the toilets are full of dirt and stuff bob there's no running water and they only shower sometimes twice a week if they are allowed. to go hungry and insiders severe abuse and bigger boys are the ones who are raped being be tane and bullying and the small children. shay cullen has seen and photographed much over the decades and documented the conditions of the children taken into care. he says that the philippine authorities treat the children like criminals even though the law doesn't allow it even

children under 10 have ended up behind bars. the government does not follow the law and they do not 'd recognize the rights of the child and all. they do not care for them i'm 20 are found on the streets are there is a complaint against a child for a big gain or taking food in the market for survival to live until they put them into jail at least they get some food in the jail they stay alive but it's a horrible existence inside and much abuse happens in those children's self.

thousands of children live without their parents because they've been imprisoned in the war against drugs. overthe. 30000 children became orphaned and the parents of almost half a 1000000 children went to jail in the 1st year of the drug war. these children have learned to take care of themselves. johnny wakes up early. but i'm peeling onions. if i don't peel on you and sometimes i carry stuff and i help out in the market where i can get a little bit of money. and i'm willing. johnny lives with his nan. nan doesn't know that johnny

works at night she just thinks that johnny sleeps over at his friend's place. the war against drugs has made grandmothers important protectors of children from dangers. johnny and sandra have lived with their nan since their mother and father wound up in prison because of drugs. the children had to watch their parents get arrested he says life already wasn't easy the living their parents made was from odd jobs but at least johnny got to go to school. that amount of power. and then on the 2 years johnny hasn't had a father or a mother to pay for school it's only $9.00 but he's now on the phone and i don't make enough money to school him the food so i don't have on evil 6 children staying at my place like there is no money and school.

right now the family can only afford to send sandra to school. feel. it is it. that makes me cry for those things wouldn't be like this if my daughters would have just listened to my advice has been doing it yourself while you were children wouldn't have to grow up like this. they would go to school and behave like us so hard and narrow minded about the world of the world. and. i want to at least publish so why i want to catch drunk he says and i just have. johnny sandra and nana go to see the children's mother who has been jailed in

a drug rehab clinic. the children haven't seen their mother and months because they can't afford the trip. at least. a prison has allowed us to film their private meeting in the office. she gets me upset if you're. not legal flag with all of this when people are this is mom time to change. you get to go to school when i get out of here the families are. taking over the world. i can't talk about the situation with my children say like a thought in full because i see how it hurts them. now i'm sorry for what i've done

to them at the moment in the last question johnny when the boy because he can't finish school added it's our boy idea once and life together. same way as mine. they should live good lives and not repeat my mistakes they get in the. news just like many other children sandra and johnny come from a broken home. but. you . didn't form an awful lot of phone bill when we lived here in tondo manilla life is difficult because our home is only

a shack and we get wet when it rains and of all the shops also the heat is a new sound science and there are mosquitoes i know a number or a. 16 year old mary grace is expecting her 1st child. she didn't mean to get pregnant but her and her boyfriend never learned about contraception. abortion here is a legal and sexual education is barely an afterthought. i knew of school for 6 years and i'm still working on making my dreams a reality. yes it was my mom was just so mary grace shares a studio flat with her mother and a 2 year old brother. her 2nd brother sleeps outside. the realm of i was shocked when i found out i was pregnant got national i didn't

considered normal in manila. the young man was accused of stealing bottles of coca-cola. but he denies the charges but endures the conditions humbly calling him but i don't think it's ok in here it's just hard to sleep between all these people. you have to queue to take a shower. the only thing that counts here is hope and that never runs out mary grace also hopes that her child will be better off and more educated than them. and won't end up in jail. maybe.
