Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
yeah, why do you know all of these stuffs Tawi2? ... Were you married to a filipina before? or just got married? or are you making a documentary film of this lovely country? You know almost everything from the different dialects spoken in every region to filipino delicacies to amazing sceneries found in all corners of the archipelago..
Cheers!

They live there for almost 40 years and her parents live there before. The place is bit better than the photo.
She's not interested in any loan.
The pipe in the whole street was there for decades. Maybe that's why there were arsonists burned the whole street. To clean the place and build a tenement style but residents didn't agree.
Not sure if rich can avail free hospitalization. We have also a hospital in our place but only poor/no income can avail. Senior Citizens can also avail free hospitalization and discounted medicine.
Yes, there are! Tapping and nicking live wire from the posts
Even the broadband cable from the posts. I have experienced a week without income from my shop because the PLDT cables were stolen from the posts from nearby town. It took a week to replace the cable.
I doubt Tawi's blood is 50% pinoy
What did you sell in your shop Pen?Can we have utang

I stand corrected Penny, yeah for sure rich are not entitled to free medication only those on the low income group.
As this thread is entitled "Darkside" and picture is about slums i was just curious why some filipinos prefer to stay in slum areas if they have opportunities to improve their lives. As what you have mentioned Penny that you're friend has been living there for 40 yrs and a bank executive. If he inherit that property from his parents and he won't be leaving the same and pass it on to the next generation so we could see here that some filipinos doesn't have any dreams for a better life. Some keep on moaning and complaining why they are poor but they are not doing anything to make it better. Some come from "no read-no write" parents but they have the will power and hope to be different hence they strive hard to have a good life. I salute these people. Thumbs up! Some just simply criticise well off people but not knowing how they were able to acquire the things to have such a comfortable life. Well, i have met some, (they kept on criticising rich people and it's bad to the ear). I'm referring to those that has worked on legal ways, just an ordinary office workers but has nice houses, cars hence a good life. Not to the corrupt people (there might be comments on this). I'm referring to average filipino workers.
I remember there was a tv program entitled "Explore" and that was all about the poor communities in the Phils which most of the members in the forum had commented why the lovely and sceneric places were not shown. There was a 19 y.o. girl living there with her family. She is so young but full of dreams. She was interviewed and said she is studying hard and wants to finish her college degree because she intends to go abroad and work and give her family a better life and so they can leave that slum area. So, in this documentary film i have seen that some (if not all) people living in slums has dreams of improving their lives and they don't want to stay in an over-crowded place all their life.
And to think this bank executive who was so lucky to finish his studies and was given all the opportunities doesn't want to do something to improve his life? I guess older people should be the ones to show to the younger generation that there is always hope and as long as one is determined and focused to his goal in life that is for the betterment then that is not far from a "dream come true". Younger people expect from older or matured people to show good example.
There was a bank employee i've met and he said they are given priorities to avail of the re- possessed properties before it is publised. So by availing of this they will just pay the remaining amounts in the bank and of low interest. If he is an executive he should know that as well. Executives are given priorities than the mere clerks in the bank but still those on clerical positions can also avail. I couldn't just imagine your executive friend don't grab the opportunities he has.
Executives are AM,Mgr.,SM,AVP,EVP,SVP,VP and up; lower than Mgr is not called an executive... They mostly likely don't live in slums for security reasons..
Chances/oppotunities on hand given to some people should not be taken for granted or ignored for it might not be there all the time.
If people in slums won't think that there is a better life out there then what will happen to the filipino people living in poverty? Houses built there will just multiply generation to generation if they won't give themselves the encouragement, determination, will (whatever we call it) one should have.
That is why some foreigners looked down to people in the 3rd world country because they can see the attitude from some. Sometimes it is generalised by them. We, filipinos should show to the world that even if we come from the 3rd world country we have dreams and that is to have a better life and to be passed on to the next kins and so on and so forth...... not to live in slums forever...
No offense here. Just my views..
Cheers!

She's an import/export manager and I tried to convince her to buy a property but she prefer to stay there.
You're right in some of your views but sadly we cannot pleased everybody. Some people thinks why they will buy a property where they can live free. Using someones property and better for them to called as squatter than buying for their own.
But bank executive don't really gets high wages in Pinas. My neighbor is also a bank exec and he applied a housing loan from bank where he's working. He paid his property for 15 years whilst me and other OFW's paid the property for only 5 years. He is now applying to migrate Canada.
Sabi nga nila, better abroad than working in Pinas.
