I think it will be a real eye-opener.
Too many babies.... not enough resources on the planet..... The higher the population grows the more babies die each year.
Only around 5% of fertalized eggs reach the age of 16.

It will be interesting to know what (if anything) the politicians have to say. Will they defy the Catholic vote and promote contraception ? Or find resources for more maternity services ...and then primary schools ?
The President is trying to move on that right now. But..... the church leaders are vehemently opposed, even to the extent of threatening civil unrest and potential excommunication of the President and his supporters of the issue.
Have no idea how the two sides can find any common ground.
can be more upsetting than the program on tv last night about teenage girls forced into prostitution in cambodia, many sold by their families
Missed that, I will try to watch it online, makes me realise how lucky we are in the UK, even if we are broke!

Mick., Mick ... and I'll also be watching this programme on Channel 4 tonight.
for drawing our attention to it!
Thanks for the heads up, I will be watching also.
Just finished watching the channel 4 programme with a heavy heart.
I has read about poverty in Manila, but the documentary spared no blows.
The school ckildren going to school in shifts was incredible.
No politicians were sticking their heads above the parapet, the architect who planned to build up to solve the problems of squalor should look to the UK where the same policy was tried in the 1960's and failed.
Basic infrastructure needs to be tackled first, and dare I say it, the catholic church.
what have we to moan about after watching that, and going to school at that hour too, they want so much but have so little, yes simon seems the church needs to come into this century too
What a shame, I have only just found this thread and the program has now finished.
it should be on here in a day or so ( i hope)What a shame, I have only just found this thread and the program has now finished.

You could almost smell the Pasig river.
Won't say any more, as I wouldn't want to upset the Catholic members.
... the "living" conditions - if they could be called such - were/ are so unbelievably awful that many families actually preferred sharing their "accommodation" with the dead! Truly an eyeopener!
Is it not the same the world over Arthur. But even though these people were living in such poor conditions, did you hear any of them complaining? I wish the less fortunate spongers in our country acted with the same dignity.
If you want your dreams to come true ...... first you have to wake up
Checked the R.P population figures the other day..Very nearly 100 million. The catholic church have had their way and will continue to do so..Large poor populations are what keep them in business.
we had a catholic leader on the TV just the other day opposing new family planning and education measures by the Government.. He said that it was advantageous for the R.P to have a large population which is the reason why the Philippines has fared so well during this latest world depression. He was speaking of the huge mass of OFW`s that are keeping the countries economy afloat..The thing is a large proportion of the massa believe him.
reading the thread, was intrigued on the issue shown at the uk tv.... happy to see the video posted by mikey but i can't download it.. it says, "this video contains content from channel 4, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds."'.... what does it mean??? how can i watch this video??? thanks!
Thanks Mick for the info on this, I did record the prog and watched late last night.
Eye popping stuff!
I was really surprised at the maternity ward. Four mothers to a bed.
The nurses looked so professional, caring and calm amidst the apparent chaos.
might only be available for people in the uk afraid rani , it worked when i try it. it goes to the youtube page and runs.
you will need a proxy server so they think your in the uk

well i suppose when you've got nothing, you've got nothing to lose
as for complaining who do they complain to and do they listen ?, maybe those in charge don't and never will care
i just love some of the quotes Imelda Marcos was supposed to have said
Filipinos want beauty. I have to look beautiful so that the poor Filipinos will have a star to look at from their slums.
I get so tired listening to one million dollars here, one million dollars there, it's so petty.
If you know how much you've got, you probably haven't got much.
If you know how rich you are, you are not rich. But me, I am not aware of the extent of my wealth. That's how rich we are.
It's the rich you can terrorize. The poor have nothing to lose.
Never dress down for the poor. They won't respect you for it. They want their First Lady to look like a million dollars.
People say I'm extravagant because I want to be surrounded by beauty. But tell me, who wants to be surrounded by garbage?
We practically own everything in the Philippines.
When they see me holding fish, they can see that I am comfortable with kings as well as with paupers.
"This is the reason why I have decided to run -- so that I can manage the Marcos wealth properly for the direct benefit of the people."
My husband does not like me to give interviews because I say too much. No talk, no trouble.
yeah itsan eye opener about the maternity ward, quite unbelievable. i knew about the different class (shifts) at school as my mahal works as i teacher and she has to work different shifts. sometimes goin to school at 5am for the first class. she was shocked when i told her the primary school i went to had 25 students intotal (primary 1 to primary 7) she has around 60 students in her class. cant see many teachers coping with that numbers of students to teach.Thanks Mick for the info on this, I did record the prog and watched late last night.

what do u mean keith?you will need a proxy server so they think your in the uk
With almost all on-line iplayers, etc. It is impossible to view from outside UK.
Sometimes you may be able to get a proxi server/ID which will fool the prog into believing you are in UK,
If anyone knows how that can be done on a regular basis, and not just hit and miss, please let us know,
John in Spain !!!!
PS Just watched Click on line , that is an exception to the rule..
I cant get the video from mikey73 to work either and I am in the UK
It says “Embedding disabled by request watch on
YouTube
But the link just produces two clicking sounds?
