Thanks :-)<br/><br/>Hi Manila Bay Watch,<br/>It is illegal. Pero these kids are working with their parents (so they are not actually hired) in rock quarries (not the mines). Thanks :-) Hi Trublue,
Not sure where it is located. Thanks :-)

Hi Manila Bay Watch,
It is illegal. Pero these kids are working with their parents (so they are not actually hired) in rock quarries (not the mines). Thanks :-)

Hello,

I thought it was illegal to hire children labourers in mines.

Or is it not in Pinas?

The only concentration of limerocks that I'm aware of is in Irisan, way above the dumpsite or "little smokey mountain"!<br/>Can the Benguet solon buy these people quarrying even those inexpensive masks?? Or Health Centers provide them at least....<br/>very sad scene especially the mother carrying her child while doing hard labor..... What part of Benguet is this located?

And as you said, there's the possibility that they will do the same to their kids so the cycle would go on to the next generation. Thanks.<br/><br/>Hi Nashman,<br/>I guess I was lucky too. Thanks.<br/><br/>Hi Daniel,<br/>Oo nga. At first I wasn't sure whether to believe it. But no one can argue with the video images, so totoo talaga. Thanks.<br/><br/>Hi Chyt,<br/>>> <i>They let their children work while they have a good time. Worse, they sell their children to white slave traders. To my knowledge, cases of this nature are not yet documented in the Cordillera. </i><br/><br/>Hopefully, there will be no such cases to document. But then again, we can never be sure. I used to think that there is no child sexual abuse in Cordi tay ammo tako nan inayan only to be told stories of such abuse. <br/><br/>I agree that the state has the responsibility to build an environment where these things do not happen. Thanks.<br/><br/>Hi Nats,<br/>Thanks. Your comment about telling stories to your son made me smile. I guess we are lucky in that we didn't have an easy life so we were made to work. <br/><br/>Eh mga bata ngayon, as you said they don't know how to do simple things like cooking their own food. Medyo spoiled na sila with all these technology that makes life easy hehe. Thanks.<br/><br/>Hi Pagano,<br/>I think its partly because we are used to seeing children who are working...so hindi kapansin pansin ang problema. <br/><br/>As I said in the post, nothing really wrong with making our kids work. What is worrisome is when they are made to sacrifice other opportunities such as education because this does not help them realize their full potential. Thanks. Hi Abella,
