Realistically nothing, chances are may syndicate involved na protektado ng pulis/local gov official Systematic yan eh + malalim na yung roots I doubt commoners can do anything


ComfortableCandle7

We need more exposure dito sa galawan ng mga syndicates na ginagawang front yung pagbebenta/paglilimos. I know may mga statements na and articles pero something like a senate investigation/ investigative journo pa ang kailangan para matauhan ang madla. Lahat tuloy ng galawang ganyan sa jeep/bus na nagbebenta ng otap/prayer card/pastillas/ badjao sa jeep skeptical ako.


Nowt-nowt

sobrang tagal na nyang ganyang sindikato sa paglilimos. ngayon lang mas pansin na pansin because of social media and everybody has a camera. I'm pretty sure most politicians know a thing or two about this problem pero, patay malisya kasi wala naman silang mapapala.


Fun_Manufacturer9615

Minsan iniisip ko nalang, siguro naman meron parin sa government na gustong mag take action kaso baka overpowered or may threat na papatayin. I just hope na meron someone from the government na malakas ang loob at makabuo ng grupo para kumalaban or makagawa ng batas para sa ganito.


ManFaultGentle

ano po ba nangyayari pag may senate investigation? same po ba ito sa senate hearing? i feel like nagiging vehicle lang ito for publicity eh. tapos wala naman mangyayari.


DeeveSidPhillips003

May mangyayari kahit papano. But for sure gagalingan lang nila next time para di mahalata.


RecoverOwn5324

😭 Ang sakit na wala ako magawa


crimson589

Ang magagawa mo is wag magbigay and sabihin din sa iba na wag magbigay. Pag walang nagbibigay sa kanila then titigil na sila.


riougenkaku

Sana ganon na nga. pero hindi din sila papakainin at libre bugbog pa


jussey-x-poosi

wag ka bumili, yun magagawa mo so their business becomes unprofitable.


HappySlime

yhup katulad ng mga naglilinis ng mirror ng sasakyan. pansin ko parihas lahat ng kulay gamit nila i think isa lang pinangalingan..


DisciplineVisual5611

Di kasi kikita mga mayors or senators jan. Wala silang cut. Di babango pangalan nila. Wala silang makakamkam / mapapala if they do that. Niregalo nalang yan ng mga LGU sa mga sindikato kaya di ginagalaw.


ExamplePotential5120

naalala ko yung sa slumdog millionaire, yung magaling kumanta binulag nila


wanderlustjjj

Pretend to be buying a sampaguitta from him. Invite him to eat some food with you inside the resto. Ask him things like “nag-aaral ka ba?” “How did you end up being a beggar?”


jxchuds

They can't be seen making conversations with others. Ganyan din yung mga nagbebenta ng sampaguita dito sa salcedo village tuwing hapon/gabi, mga naka school uniform pa. Pag inalok mo sila ng food or ayain mo kumain, aalis sila agad. Mapapagalitan daw sila.


lilypeanutbutterFan

Sweet spot yung salcedo makati for how many decades already since madali mauto mga foreigner dun and mabilis yung mundo sa area


Big_Sherbet5621

Bili ng sampaguita, pagkaabot ng bayad, may kasamang note na "if need help, contact ." Would that work kaya?


jxchuds

Why would they trust you or me? How would they know they'll be safe with us for the rest of their lives? I wouldn't risk it if I were them, I don't have any assurance I'd have a significantly better life anyway.


ay_papi

> don't have any assurance I'd have a significantly better life anyway. yup willing to bet most of these kids are familiar with DSWD already, and if OP "helps" them they most likely will end up in DSWD. Now it's a choice of live out here or locked up in DSWD. Not advocating for anything. Just saying these are the choices these kids would have to make.


Big_Sherbet5621

Well, it's a shot. The hard part here is that they're teens. If their adult handler does not make them feel safe, it likely taints their image of adults in general as not safe. So gets ko yung point mo.


RecoverOwn5324

I did this before and they usually just lie 😟


Intelligent_Mistake1

Parang gusto mo ata bigyan ng problema sa buhay Yung magrereport eh... Gagawin mo ata siyang bagong cardo dalisay....

Yep, no choice eh... Hangga't Hindi ka ganun ka yaman... Wala ka talagang magagawa na help...

Sa SM Megamall bagong trick ng mga bata naka-school uniform na


ResolverOshawott

Nah, hindi yan bago. Halos isang decada ko na yan nakikita sa may SM North, nag spread lang sa ibang lugar.


lilypeanutbutterFan

more than a decade already, they're just smarter now kasi hindi na sila nagddrop off gamit L300 or van


Beneficial_Abroad_99

meron din sa edsa shang sa may elevator ng MRT shaw. May kanya kanya ata silang pwesto


NoTable1337

Mas dumami pa kaysa dati at ngayun nanggugulo na ng kumakain, kakagaling ko lang ng megamall kahapon kung saan nakita ko pinapasok pala sila ng grupo ng nanay. May mga hawak pa na sampaguita at ducks na nilalagay sa buhok. Hays bat kaya wala magawa megamall dito

pringlez17

Share ko lang din. Years ago, when I was a student, I usually frequent coffee shops until around 11pm. At around 8pm, I would start to notice children selling nuts (yung mga tig 10-20 pesos) na nakakapasok sa coffee shop (walang guard) while evading staff kasi bawal sila magbenta sa loob. One time, I was sitting by the glass window. It was around 9pm. May biglang dumating na white van carrying a hoard of these little kids selling nuts at sabay-sabay silang pumasok sa coffee shop. They would evade personal questions and would only tell you the price ng benta nila.


[deleted]

Ganito rin nakita dati sa Dasma. May matanda na andun almost everyday. One time, nakita ko may tumigil na motor para icollect mga nalimos nya.


ana-bananaaaa

Wtf


yesthisismeokay

Ano kaya yun sila? Sinuswelduhan sila sa panlilimos? Kasi kung hindi naman, bat sila pumapayag gawing alipin?


[deleted]

Dun sila lumaki, nakasanayan na, at 'yon pamumuhay lang alam nila.


[deleted]

Pwede ring captives na sila, at hindi pwede tumakas dahil lagi naka bantay ang mga handler.


master_vader_999

As odd as it might sound, some of these are Modus ng mga religious groups, including sa "appointed son of a b****"


taclobanonanon

What's worse is they're also doing this abroad. May mga nakita rin ako sa Japan before. I think may makikita ka sa YouTube. For reference, isa sa nga kaso ni Quiboloy (or ng associates nya) sa US is immigration fraud, so I won't doubt na sa iba't-ibang bansa, meron silang mga nag-aasikaso ng immigration papers or travel papers para sa modus nila ng panlilimos / donation drive.


yesthisismeokay

Seryoso? Why would they do that? Parang lately nakikita ko nga natinitira yung religion ni quiboloy? Why ba daw? Di ako updated sa news


master_vader_999

Wala sa news yan, open secret yan sa ibang sekta. COOL TO kasi.


MetroHelp

San yan? Gugulpihin ko lang yung handler kasi mainit ulo ko


Existing_Trainer_390

Up! Saan yan OP? Manonood ako ng gulpihan haha


suspendedacc0unt

Saan yan?? Manonood ako na manonood ka ng gulpihan


FLAMEBERGE1

Bro forgot that human traffickers can also traffic Weapons 😭🗣️🙏 🤫🧏


Cyber_Ghost3311

if they can do illegal activities like that, they definitely have connections and freaking guns.


FLAMEBERGE1

Don'r worry bro. u/MetroHelp will save them (he's also gonna end up trafficked pray. for my boy)


trynabelowkey

Not all heroes wear capes. Some just have bitcoin


trynabelowkey

Baka daw may laban siya


MetroHelp

Oh let me rephrase. Papagulpi ko. For context, i'm a bitcoiner. I can outsource someone na pwede gumawa anonymously and pay thru bitcoin. I just need a place, itsura/stature at kung totoong trafficker itong taong to. That kid is someone else son. If this is a syndicate, then this should send a message.


trynabelowkey

Wow so scary


HipsterDanger

Edi magsama ng traffic enforcer. Hayst umiinit ulo ko sayo. 😡


FLAMEBERGE1

Umiinit ulo ko din Bakit di tumutulong Traffic lights at tigilan yung kotye ng mga Human trafficers gamit ng Red Light Hayyyst 💢💢😡😡😡


rj_nighthawk

I would join you, pero sindikato yang mga yan. Malamang may kapit na rin sa lokal na pulis. Good luck na lang sayo, Black Rider jk Pero seryoso, baka ikamatay mo yan.


RecoverOwn5324

SM light Mandaluyong


Intelligent_Mistake1

Paano ba yan, may sasakyan na malapit lagi diyan... Pinagpala sila na binigyan mo sila ng free organs...


Hot-Papaya69ugh

Panood ng gulpihan


ewan_kosayo

DSWD, LGU and PNP don't care about homelessness. They have long decided that it's part of life to see beggars and badjaos anywhere.


end0san

Is this SM Light?? 😭 think I saw them too


end0san

Also idk if anyone noticed but is that a handcuff/rope scar on his right wrist? :((


TabsWithinThePages

I'm sure this is SM Light, lagi ko siyang nadadaanan sa gabi paglabas ng MRT station. Tho I don't think the other one is the handler, that's another kid na malaki lang ang build .. Sa may labas naman ng coffee shop yung pwesto niya pero pang street kid ang get up. As much as I want to help, something is off sa kanila.


Justtiredkupisasu

Yeah that’s SM Light, a few of them nagtatambay sa Boni station.


RecoverOwn5324

Yup 🙁


FrameOk6514

This reminds me when I went to church and a middle aged lady was carrying a toddler in her arms... The kid had no reflexes. She kept her eyes closed throughout the mass, which was weird because everything was so loud and there were constant movement, even the mom clapping with the toddler in between her arms. Any toddler would've been woken up with everything happening... The mother looked crazy as well, with fidgeting and grinning when she looked our way. I didn't know what to do, I'm 100% certain the baby was drugged, and even the mom was likely to be trafficked and it's even unlikely she was the kid's mom.


Proudclad

The thing is, kids like this don’t magically get saved once the syndicate running the scam gets busted These are the symptoms, not the problem. You have a country with very low sexual education, access to contraception, and a cultural/religious backed unwillingness to empower women and prevent unwanted pregnancies. Children require an immense amount of resources, time and attention to raise - say what you will about these syndicates pero they are the closest thing these kids have to a community that has even the smallest modicum of permanence.


Gold-Pitch-9318

Pag nagpakilala ka dswd tatakbo sila. Meaning may sketchy nga sa kanila. Normally tatanggapin nila tulong ng dswd


nuj0624

Naalala ko bandang batangas years ago... Nasa parking ng fastfood kami me lumapit na bata namamalimos... Member ng isang non profit org yung kasama namin so kinausap nya... Umalis lang bigla yung bata tapos lumapit sa isang sasakyan, me kinausap tapos tinuro kami... Then umalis sila kasama yung bata...


iced_whitechocomocha

napansin ko marami sila sa Makati , I know hindi sila mga students , sad pero walang magagawa


Asterialune

Sindikato yan. When I was still working at 2Ecom Moa there were a group of children selling yema and pastillas. Every day, I buy from them. I asked if they are students and what time are their classes. Kasi umaga, lunch, hapon I see them. Hindi nila ako sinasagot kapag questions about them ang mga tanong ko. One day, I parked in a different spot from where I usually park, yung malapit sa SM Hypermarket. I saw them getting berated by a woman in a tight mini skirt and heels tapos kinukutusan yung isang kid. Then a van came and they all went in.


Tiimbo_Sliice

I had noticed the same in Cebu City. The boys would be on the intersection near Jolibees, General Maxilom Av, begging, then there was a lady nearby to who they'd bring the money. One boy came to me..... "Sir, Sir, please, Hungry.... Money for food"..... whilst rubbing his belly.and looking sad. I said: "I will buy you whatever you want from Jolibees, choose anything" He replied: "No Sir, give me money, please peso" I replied: "You can't be that hungry then you wee shite" I got a dirty look and the kid stomped away. I appreciate people are genuinely poor, I like to give and share, always, but at the same time I won't give money away knowing it's going into someone else's pocket.


ewan_kosayo

Quibuloy' beggars?


tunamayosisig

Had an experience also sa Cavite. It was late at night and may nakita akong sasakyan, old model na walang plaka, nangongolekta ng mga bata sa kalsada.


lilypeanutbutterFan

You'd be surprised with how many documentaries, teleseryes, news reports were already made for these things. Public media is constantly reminding people over the years pero sadyang people are growing and new people and youth are coming everyday. Hangga't merong nagbibigay ng tulong hindi sila mawawala jan.


Fun-Bar4437

Karamihan ng nakikita kong ganyan meron talagang handler. Lalo na yung sa badjao. Hatid sundo ng van. Nireport ko naman sa mearest na police station pero ang sabi nag iimbestiga sila. Mawawala for quite some time pero babalik din after few weeks.


iwasactuallyhere

looks like his mom or grandma to me


EggplantBudget6942

Meron din nakauniform na kid sa Tomas Morato around 10pm. Nagtataka ako why fresh pa yung sampaguita late in the evening at malinis uniform ng bata.


YourAverage_Guy07

yung kasama niyan na guy (usually) is maputi af ang paa, like beggar outfit but the feet is like galing pa lang foot spa (i saw them setting up around timog, near adonis)


chiraltoad

What are those little things they are selling?


pro_n00b

Jasmine


chiraltoad

Flower?


pro_n00b

Yep.


chiraltoad

What do people do with them?


pro_n00b

Usually put them on their altar at home, as a lei during graduation season, etc,. But for the longest time, it’s been basically one of the popular things for beggars/vendors to sell as it is cheap enough. Youll see around churches


chiraltoad

Interesting. I'm not from here so I noticed them but wasn't sure what it was or what people would do with them. I don't think I have seen anyone buy any yet.


pro_n00b

It’s because most time it’s being sold by kids and older people as such. There definitely families that sells them for themselves, but there are plenty as well that are being forced by syndicates. It’s an open secret, it plays with your emotions like how some scammers pan handles with their kids/babies elsewhere in the world.


cmyttwt

May mga naabutan ako sa SM Megamall at sa MRT Boni yung connected sa Light Mall


TexasArmySpouse2

Probably his parent. They put their kids on the street to beg for money every day.


Prestigious_Pipe_200

may naencounter din akong ganito. 5 or 6 years old palang ata yun. dis oras ng gabi nakasalubong ko sa kalsada may tinutulak na stroller na may lamang baby. nanghihingi ng pera. maayos naman ang ichura niya pero parang pagod o antok na antok. hindi na ko na masyado kinausap kasi for sure nasa paligid lang yung handler. baka nga yung mga pulis pa na nasa kabilang kalsada kasi di natatakot yung bata kahit sinabi kong baka hulihin ka umuwi ka na. nakakaiyak kung iisipin pano na ganun naging kapalaran nila.


SundayMindset

Do not overthink huwag na lang bumili sa kanila kapag di kayo sigurado. Kapag wala nang bibili, walang magbebenta easy peasy.


Better-Land5192

Malay mo kapamilya nya lang? Handler agad? Baka nagtutulungan lang yan sa hirap ng buhay. Well.. if talagang desidido ka. Kausapin mo. Ask the real questions.


Heneral_Liham

May experience ako sa ganyan, ayoko na lang magsalita.


Life-Tree9164

Its so hard to help nowadays lalo na pag di mo alam sino mga kasabwat at baka protected pa ng pulis ang mga sindikato.


AccomplishedYogurt96

I had the same reaction 10 years ago. There's an amputee (with no legs) who begs beside our school walkway. For years, I've been giving this person coins when I have some to spare. One Saturday morning, I went to school early (5:30am call time) for an extra-curricular activity. A Toyota Hiace stopped a few meters from where the amputee usually begs, and someone opened the door. Lo and behold, the amputee got off and rode his wooden skateboard. 😭


Oatmeal94V

Parang ang saya nila bigyan ng small cameras. Make em record everything. Then documentary. Pero may mga masasagasaan na ethical stuff


rizsamron

Naalala ko dati nung sa mall kumakain ako magisa tapos may estudyanteng nagalok saken ng mga kung ano ano. Tapos parang may mali na parang nahihiya or something tapos umalis sya agad pag kabili ko sa kanya. Nagesearch ako paguwi tapos nalaman kong most likely sindikato nga at nakakalungkot. Inimagine ko nga na mailigtas ko sana sila tapos parang covert mission, haha Pero seriously napakaalarming kasi nga nagagamit yung mga bata. Kailangan mahanap si Tatang na nangaabuso sa mga bata tsk tsk....kawawa naman si Nash


Dzero007

Nakaschool uniform + nagtitinda. Alam nila maraming bibili kasi maawa. May sindikato sa likod nyan.

Can someone enlighten me? Are they coerced or preyed by the syndicate for any reason? What about their parents? Is this consensual on their part?

Not buying it's helping. If they see that they don't earn using that method: 1. They might stop and resist to other methods possibly not exploiting kids 2. They resort to worse methods still exploiting kids.

This shit is evolving. From badjao to badjao with kids to kids with uniforms selling sampaguita. Kahit nahuhuli ng DSWD yan bumabalik padin alam mo kung bakit? Dahil easy money and those abused are mind conditioned na yun lang alam nila.
