Filipino children in jail

Video uploaded by preda1

There are issues that government, the media and some important sectors fail to address. I found this video from youtube, which talks about children in adult jails. A reporter from CNN posed as a social worker and was allowed to video the conditions of the minors inside the jail.

How can we have a progressive nation if our future are rotting in substandard conditions like this "kulungan". Asan na ang kaunlaran?

It is amusing to find that under the "most read" category of The Philippine Daily Inquirer's online version for today, are showbusiness articles. Filipinos really need a great dose of entertainment whether it is good or bad. Showbusiness in the Philippines is more than a just entertainment - it is a form of escape from the realities government bring to the tired readers.

The list below is the actual "most read" articles. The internet readers read about Rudy Fernandez's condition, Judy Ann's probable transfer from Abs-cbn to GMA 7.

Only in the Philippines? Probably. But I doubt.
