It's quite common in most of the squatters area in Manila
They want to live in the city even it's hard for them to survive.
If I were on their shoes, I prepare to live in the province where foods are abundant if you are not lazy

maybe they were thinking that they will have a better opportunity here, unfortunately they are wrong. even people with regular job, like me find it hard to live here in manila.nowadays, the cost of living is really high. you really have to be wise with your money. everything is already high in the market. as much as possible, we need to save for the future.

Hey buddy,
Yes they are thinking about better opportunities in Metro Manila but later on they found out that it's very difficult.

There are many people around who are like that, who need to work harder and fight for their lives to live in a day.SO we really have to be thankful enough on things and blessings that we have and don't take it for granted.Every little things that we have is important that we have to be thankful of and should take care of cause some people are struggling that much before they get things that they need.

I am actually one of the people who is striving to live in my everyday living. I am a regular employee of one company here in our country. I have been in the company for alomost two years. But still, I don't find my earnings sufficient to cover all my needs and to help my family. So what happen to those people who lives in the street? how do they survive everyday?i agree with you, we are still lucky,

Life is full of tests, we are tested to see how we cope with different circumstances, some would say that we are then judged on how we have dealt with the tests when we meet our maker. But what I find hard to stomach is why some people seem to sail through life acquiring everything and getting everything they want, and yet others are on the brink of starvation, poverty and fight for clean water? It's a strange world we live in. I think most of us take life for granted, and all we have and don't count our blessings, there is always someone worse off than ourselves.

That is true because not all of us were born to be rich or have money. But we strive to reach our goals and no matter how hard it is, we still try our best. There is nothing we can achieve is we just wait for a miracle to happen without even trying to do something.

Life is full of spices. You will never know how strong you are if you will not experience the difficulty of life.I have been to lot of challenges in life but I never give up and remain motivated for my own good and for the people that surrounds me.Life isn't easy. Being the driver of our life, we have to be very careful because whatever direction we go to, we will have to be responsible for it.

The struggle is over for me. I have quit earning and churning money soon after my children completed their college studies. Now its their payback time. As long as there are foods on the table I don't see why I should enslave myself till my last breath. Unfortunately not many people are lucky as they need to work hard daily to make ends meet. I have prepared myself for the eventualities in my old age and am glad that I am now reaping the fruits of my labour.

From the time that we wake up in the morning,it is already a fight not only for the less fortunate people but for all of us. From the time that we go out,we are already fighting for it because we do not really know what will happen to us outside.Everyday for me is a challenge. I encounter different things everyday,it can be sometime, happiness, sadness, deppressions or even success.All we need sometime is to be strong especially we are feeling down or we think that it is really hard to live in this world. Never forget to pray to our almighty God because he can answer all our concerns, it might not be answered today but sooner or later it will.Bear in mind that "God never closes the door without opening another door".

Tine, things are getting expensive nowadays, so it is usual to see people are struggling with their daily lives. i even have friends who needs to work 2 to 3 jobs at the same time, to supply the needs of their daily life. It is because they can't earn enough for their daily life through one job. That's why, it is always the best to budget our expenses, so we won't be overspend in the long run.

That hold true to those people who live in the streets or under the bridge or just practically to any place where they can be able to stop for the night. They live a dangerous life, I could say because they are always out in the street to look for means of living their life. Some would be begging for money when cars stop by. Others would be digging in the dump looking for food and yes, some would even consider shoplifting or do petty crimes just so they could have money to buy themselves food.

We are the one working for our future. It is our responsibility to make sure that our life would be less a burden. If one marries and knows he can't raise a child then it's only a matter of decision. Have one child to raise and i'm sure you can provide for all his needs. The problem with Filipinos they don't actually understand the real meaning of Family planning. Their are few who said they had experience poverty in their times and it should stop their. They won't allow to commit the same mistakes in the past with their parents. That is very remarkable attitude. I just wish people would think that way. And not blame the government alone for their own doings.

In this world we are living in a control society. Long time ago people really lived in an ordinary life they work for their living that's all but now its different. It's very strange and very controlling world. They say's if you don't work you cannot survive, you don't have a future. You cannot live the life and it seems you always thinking,worrying about your future especially if you have many kids.
This is not the life that GOD gave us. God gave us everything if we just take a look and let his blessing pour upon us. We are driving my this world and we forget to think,thank and praise GOD for the life that he gave. Our life is precious once this life is over we are done. There is no turning back. I've experienced everything and still many struggles in life. But at the end of the day I just realized its not important. What matters me the most is my relationship to my creator and the things that I've done in order to honor him.
I'm working so hard for GOD. I may be striving than to commit temptation in order to prosper.I cannot do that.

Hi friend, yes this kind of people are quite common in every country and their life is really a great misery. They are struggling a lot for each and every day for all their basic necessities. We must get satisfaction with our life while seeing such kind of people.
