always been a big music fan. never really cared for genres, always listened to stuff that sounded good to my ears. i have my preferences but i always keep an ear out for some of the newer stuff that's coming out. that's doesn't mean though that i don't listen to the classics. right now between listening to sting's 'ten summoner's tales' album (absolutely love 'fields of gold and 'it's probably ...

hi letranknight. yes, it is indeed sad and i do feel the same toward them. being part of a proud tribe, badjaos do deserve to be treated better than this. hopefully, the government and us, private citizens, can do something to help out our badjao brothers and sister. i just feel that giving alms only worsens the situation and does not help them in the lon grun. just my opinion but i do th...

hi borg_queen. agree with you that it is better to donate to charities thatn to give alms to beggars. at least, with charities, we are sure that the money or things that we are donating are put into good use. lol at your comment about their hair color!!! always thought that the color is due to them being exposed to the sun for long stretches of time. can't be sure though. thanks for j...

hi agv. agree with you there. sometimes i think badjaos are pulling all stops to work out the pity angle with us by bringing their children while they ask for alms. personally, it doesn't work for me as i'm more inclined not to give alms to these people. anyay, appreciate you chiming in. cheers!!!

hi calai618!!!you hit the nail on the head with your comment. that's what's actually stopping me from helping these badjaos out is the thought that a crime syndicate is behind them. the idea is sickening but very possible with what we have been hearing and reading in the news nowadays. thanks for chiming in. cheers!!!

great comments here anne. come to think of it, if there was a syndicate behind these people, the syndicate wouldn't bother 'financing' these scheme if it wasn't profitable. simple math will tell us that these syndicates make big money off these hapless souls. agree with you as well that providing education to these kids is a good way to eradicate this problem. another way is to go after the ...

hi lody. can't say the same about the music that they play. all i hear is incessant chanting and i doubt if it means anything more than that. agree that the government should do something about them. the problem itself produces more problems not just for the badjaos involved but for society as a whole. criminality and prostituion might rise and with that, more problems will come into play. d...
