Filipinos are contented when they have enough foods to eat 3x daily. And, sometimes they can have RED HORSE, TANDUAY, EMPERADOR to drink while talking and singing with neighbors and friends.

Back in the US someone once approached me in a parking lot and asked for money "to buy a bus ticket home". I gave him a few dollars, but I wondered: did I help him buy a bus ticket home ... Or did I help him buy drugs? After that I took to mostly giving to established charities, homeless shelters and the like. I figured they were in a better position to distinguish real need from people just taking advantage of the system. I've carried that over here. I give to a charity associated with my church. I don't give to beggars. Once my wife bought some towels from someone on the street. Maybe that's good.

I had both good-employed Flipinas-one rich and one poor-both divorced-though the poor one to this day thanks me! 50-50 like throwing darts

It's a difficult situation. It's illegal to hand money to kids also. But they give you the puppy dog eyes so it's hard to say no.

I would rather give a tip to a hard-working local than give to a beggar

I have been going to PI since 1995 and lived there for about 2 years. Your hard earned money should be put to work to end the cycle of poverty. Obviously, you can't end it all and need to focus on the micro level. We tried setting up the nieces and nephews with small businesses. They all failed. We realized we had to assist the generation after - the grand-nephews and grand-nieces. From pre-school through sending them off on their chosen profession. They in turn will invest their income back into the family putting the next gen through school. It is a long term investment and has some success.

CEBU is no. 1 place to stay over Manila everyrhing is there. Tbh

Davao is probably the most well-balanced city in the Philippines in terms of: 1. Modern amenities like hotels, healthcare and Large private and public hospitals, Shopping malls, etc. 2. Good standard of living with lower cost of living than any place in Visayas and Luzon. 3. One of the Safest and Cleanest cities. 4. People ate generally polite, but are more more frank than other Filipinos which I actually prefer. 5. Good quality beaches, hill and mountain resorts are very easy to travel for quick staycations. 6. Most places and roads are clean. 7. Lots of Main Roads and highways outside the Central downtown are wide; usually 6 to 8 lanes.

As someone who is Cebuano-Davaoeno, I would say Cebu is a nice place due to its modern amenities and good food. Cebuanos know how to cook well, and the pastries are the probably the Best in the Philippines. However, here are some of the biggest drawbacks: 1. Dirty streets and highways. Many of them are. 2. Insufficient or lack of Public Trash bins. 3. Super Heavy Traffic. 4. Narrow roads. There are only very few main roads that are wide enough. 5. Higher cost of living, utility bills, rent, etc. So, u need to have higher income to compensate. As for Davao, it is a very huge place with Modern amenities on par with Cebu and Manila in general in terms of Government and Private hospitals, shopping centers and the like. Here are the reasons that makes Davao better than Cebu: 1. It has lots of areas with Wide roads and highways; 6 to 8 lane roads are plentiful outside the City center or central downtown. 2. Main roads are highly interconnected to each other, and with secondary roads through the bypass roads. 3. Most places in Davao city, and whole Metro Davao and Davao region are CLEAN, ORGANIZED, and well-maintained when compared to most cities in the Philippines. 4. The fruits and vegetables and Rice are of better quality and Very Affordable, if not ouright cheap. -There are more affordable restaurants and eateries due to the abundance of food sources with better quality Raw food materials than those from Visayas and Luzon. 5. Cheaper rent, except for condos; and more affordable utilities. 6. Income or salaries are more or less similar, if not higher or slightly lower than Cebu. Basically, very similar. Hence, you save tons of money when u live in Davao. 7. Safer and more secured. 8. Cleaner public transportation especially with City and Provincial-bound buses. Davao's buses are also newer and more modern than Cebu, and even when compared with New York or the East coast in the US. 9. Davao city and Davao region as a whole, has better network of Public or Government hospital network than Cebu, and Government health facilities in Davao are bigger. -Davao has more large Tertiary level or Level-4 hospitals as well. 10. Good quality white sand and black sand resorts are easier to access, and Hill escape and Mountain resorts are plentiful as well. Well-within 15mins to 1 hour of Travel. Generally, Davao has better standards of living and lower cost of living. This is from my experiences having lived in both metros and provinces, respectively for years and many times as well. Having lived in Cebu also made me realize as to why huge swaths Cebuanos and Visayans moved to Davao for many decades. It is even true up to this day.

Sharing is Th big blessed to you and your in life because everything in these world we cannot bring it and what we can get or you have and for me I'm always sharing to others for the love of your warm heart and the is big blessing to our GOD ❤

nobody talk about MAGUINDANAO or LANAO

Great subject. I think all foreign visitors struggle with this subject

Donate your hard earned money through the barangay captain (BC). The BC knows where your donations are needed most.

I am a compassionate person who feels pain when I see others in pain. So of course it is hard for me to see children and mothers suffering in the streets. I don't give myself and just let my filipina do it for me.

Don't have kids if you can't afford them... and if you do, it is not my problem.

get to know first the person who is begging first. i am a filipino and I wouldn't randomly give anyone money in the streets of metro manila because it encourages these kids to live such lifestyle of begging. Understand that begging in the streets is actually quite lucrative for someone who does not the skillset to do common work. It may not look like it but there are opportunities being given by many local and international social development organizations and our government's DSWD (dept. of social welfare) to children. yes these organizations may have their own flaws but they do succeed with most kids they rehabilitate. Most kids that undergo social development by them almost always succeeds in helping them get by at least until they are old enough to get proper work. These social workers in the Philippines can teach them skills and still give them a good childhood through community and social support. The more you give money randomly the less they will succeed in the long term. If you are not willing or don't have the time to try and know them, then its best not to give any to these kids because it will only endanger them through exploitation from syndicates and teaching them bad habits. If you really want to help absolutely then report them to DSWD. Else, say no or wave them off gently.

The kids tugging at your heart strings, and displays of dire need are for the most part an organized group who understands their business well. So no don't give if there is a group of kids or even if they are accompanied by an adult unless you want to be pestered by them relentlessly. Now if you have a strong sense of discernment and it makes you feel relieved to give by all means give.

There is no right answer. There is no solution. Every country has a similar problem, just not on this scale. Find a charity that you can help. Give a couple 50 lb bags of rice to the local church to help distribute.

Well Sir , first off the people here are not nice and kind and friendly . They're just about the most rudest people I've ever lived amongst. They just don't give a crap about others. But on to the begging. For myself I have had enough of it . Every darn place I go people want a tip or are begging . A kid opens the door for me and they want a tip . Park the motorcycle and they want a tip , and the begging is non stop I have had enough of it .

Been helping wife's family and friends over 19 years, woke up a few months ago, I said I am done, tired of making my kids do without...

I remember going home for the first time driving through Manila seeing the squatters. My wife told me I can’t help everyone.

The biggest impact on their lives is their decisions, not charity. It is your choice to give.

Isaiah 23:18 And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the LORD: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the LORD, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing. Isaiah 60:9 Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.

If you are capable why not give to less fortunate

no. It has the worst, unhealthiest food in the philippines. I am so glad I don't live there anymore

once you go to the same town or area a lot of times you see the same woman with the same kids working the same places and they have a house nicer than my neighbors. no, dont give. i live on what meager social security i get and i worked all my life to not beg, they can too.

2 little kids today maybe 4 years old. At the bakery. A few pesos and they did buy food with it. So God bless them.

If you don't work, you don't eat... period. No exceptions. $0 free money in life.

I never give.

American here, been in the PH for 3 years now, been to DR once, have to say PH absolutely wins out on safety as well. No disrespect, just my opinion, and statistics.

Dont give! But if you do jus give them food not money.

At night its free for you.

Cebuano at ❤

The phillipines have better food, plus the girls are prettier.

Learn the language and you will see people aren’t so polite - just pretend you don’t understand

Never give the kids money, they take it home give it to thete dad..He buys alcohol,gets drunk abuse's his wife and beats the kids to go get more money. If u are going to give the kids something maybe food or a t-shirt

If they ask for a piece of bread don't give bread, teach them how to bake bread, if ask for fish , teach them how to catch fish, charirity giving don't solve the problem, it makes them a beggar until death

Filipino 🇵🇭 people don’t take criticism too good 🫣 I try to express my issues at times and it doesn’t get accepted coming from a foreigner > even if the problem effects me in a negative way 😲

some street beggars or/ most of them are controlled by syndicated gangs, they are instructed to dress and look like pittyful and things like that. PLEASE DO NOT GIVE. The philippine government and NGOs have appropriate agencies to really take care of those who are really in need. your are worsening the situation when you give.

I am Pharmacists but I work over seas in middle East as a domestic helper because the wage here very low

What if you were in their position? How would you like to be treated?

Jesus said that just by giving water, you glorify God. In other words, it doesn't have to be big, so if you meet a person who begs, just give a little and if other people give a little too, then that poor fellow is blessed with abundance and take off from there. 😊

It's simple for me. I only give to kids....10 or 11 and below and only if they look like they really need some food. Also I take them inside a 7/11 and let them pick out what they want...not anything and everything. If they( young kid) really look like they need a meal, they eat with me. Teenagers and adults. No. Too many of then have caught attitude with me in the past if I said no. So, F them.

7000+ islands i think

Pilipinos are gold purified by fire (calamities, battle and hardship in life). And the gold belongs to God (Haggai 2:8). Isaiah 60:9 Surely the isles (Philippine islands) shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.

I'm wearing a 20 year old t shirt and I'm a Filipino who just doesn't care 😅😅😅

Please be aware that SYNDICATES are behind most of the aggressive panhandlers, most of them are young kids, even young mothers (but not all, of course). Please follow your guts.

Don't give, some (not all), are organized beggars
