Thats what they always emphasize, the bad scene of the philippines,we or I dont find any good side in shows or in TV,sad

You're right! Our Philippine channels not doing such

This documentary is so sad. I know the issue is segregation in prison, but the whole time I'm watching it, it never crossed my mind that this is the real issue. Shame on the parents of these kids! As a parent myself, I dread to imagine my children ending up that way.

I didn't know about this really. In our town, we never jail below 18. They should be at school since our education is free, books, notebooks until high school, no reason to do such., if there is, then it's seldom.

There was something similar on TV sometime last year,an investigatory report on kids in adult pinoy prisons,one part that made my blood boil was a homosexual who had taken a young boy under his wing,the bayots lascivious grin as he chatted about the boy made me realise his protection was neither altruistic nor fatherly in its intention as has just been said on the youtube report many of the kids are afraid to sleep because of rape and whoever locks children up for stealing 6 tins of sardines due to hunger another thread currently running is why are we proud to be british,well,this is one of the reasons,the pinoy government should hang their heads in shame instead of flashing their incalculable personal wealth,and pinoy TV shouldnt focus so much on those false "celebrities" and their unattainable lifestyles day in day out,but rather focus on the countries problems and highlight the plight of kids like those portrayed

I don't know who's to blame now Tawi. The govt or the parents

maybe we should bribe officials into stopping poverty

They are not aware of that
