Which country is the Philippines in?

[fred]

On a serious note..The items found in an Ukay Ukay store are the old junk that people in the west leave out side for the "charity collectors"..
A pair of old trainers here can cost between 500 and 1.200 PHP in an UKay store none of which will ever find the feet of a poor homeless kid working on Smokey mountain for example.. People here actually pay 100.00 Pesos for an "imported" worn out grubby tee shirt as they think its a bargain...NOT!!
When In the UK,I`d much rather take it all down the dump then to give it to these scamsters..

Fred I don't think you'd recognise your local dump now in the UK?...It's not a case of just dumping everything, anything recyclable, has to be put in the right bin...It's quite a stressful experience these days, trying to sort everything out & put it where it's supposed to go.

...It's amazing what is for sale though in the Philippines, every type of old magazine 'Homes & Garden' etc. all wrapped up in cellophane & for sale in the malls.
