Suffer the children
["But Jesus said, suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto Me: for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven." (Matthew 19:14) ..]
These two sites will well you up with pure emotions of pride and compassion for the children of the Philippines:
Dennis Villegas' Children of the River
Heart-wrenching photos of Filipino children whose lives are etched along the murky waters of Pasig River.
Efren Peñaflorida: CNN's Hero this week
Kuya Ef is a Filipino whose vision in life is to help in the education of Filipino children living in the slums. Amazing story of a modern day hero!
I remember I posted a hula in relation to children of the Philippines although in a different way but "may laman."

malungkot!
Sardonyx: Sa kahahanap ko ng post mo, napadpad ako sa iba mo pang posts kaya tawa ako nang tawa. Kaya nung mabasa ko ung 'Magpasalamat...' mo, medyo bereft of emotions na ako. Mahirap maging mahirap. Mas mahirap maging batang mahirap dahil ikaw mismo ang gagawa ng paraan para maiahon mo ang sarili sa kahirapan. Lagi ko ngang sinasabi sa mga pamangkin ko sa pinsan na dahop din, dapat sa inyo matapos ang cycle of poverty ng pamilya. dapat matuto kayong mag-aral na mabuti magsikap. Otherwise, kung ano ang hirap na dinaranas nyo ngayon, ganung hirap din ang dadanasin ng inyong magiging anak.
Ever: Totoo. Nakakapunit ng puso yong mga pictures no?
Thanks for linking Kuya Ef's Dyanmic Teen Company, I first saw Efren Penaflorida, Jr. in Korina's Rated K,last 2008 and after that I started following his group in net to include in FB. Last week we are honored that a Kuya Ef, a Pinoy was chosen as CNN's Hero.
Lasy Sunday, Kuya Ef says:
"Behind every person lies a 'hero' and all he has to do is to stretch out his hand downward and open his loving heart to accomodate those in need."

The Pope: Sabi ko nga sa comment ko sa CNN article, he's not just a hero, he's an angel.
Bill: Thanks for the honor.
Hi Friend.. Interesting post.. Nice blog.. Keep up the good work.. Do find time to visit my blog and post your comments.. Take care.. Cheers mate!!!
About sa CNN heroes, Alam mo Nebz, doon sa Cemetery kung saan sila nagtuturo sa mga bata, dyan ako kami dati naglalaro ng mga cousins ko. Tapos sa likod nyan may beach we called "Tae Beach" dahil sobrang dumi dahil ginawang landfill.It's along Blvd. Cresini sa Cavite city where my aunt used to live. Marami talagang mahirap dyan, most of them are really not a caviteno, most of them are from the visayas. Sila ang mga pumalit sa mga Chavacano ng Cavite City.
Na pa hugot ako ng buntonghininga.
And the Phil govt is busy giving parties at Malacanang Palace...
So much injustice. An Efren cannot keep up. A true government must interfere. God's.
Uhmn. Ano kaya ang maitutulong ko sa mga batang ito? Sa tingin ko ang pagbibigay ng isang buo at mainit-init pang litson manok ng direkta sa kanila ay hindi makakatulong ultimately.
Uhmn...
Huh!
Whew!
Hindi ko pa rin talaga maisip kung paano ako makakatulong. Heto po kasi ang kino-consider ko: [Ayan kino-consider; parang kailan lang ang usapan natin tungkol sa pag-i-Ingles at Filipino, ah.]
"Give a child a whole roasted chicken and he will only live for a day, but teach him how to breed and grow a chicken and he will live for a lifetime."
Ano kaya ang maitutulong KO bilang isang blogger? Huh! Puyat ako ngayon dahil sa harvest, kaya hindi pa ako nakakapag-isip ng matino.
