Another great divide.....

My childhood was spent growing up in various third world countries...from Guyana to Algeria to Indonesia and a few others in between....however, none of these prepared me for the huge gulf that exists between the incredibly poor and the incredibly rich in Manila....

When I see the amount of money spent on various kids birthday parties (most of which are at an age that they wont remember) and then see what exists outside these celebrations it shocks me....

The sheer scale and the level of poverty here is like nothing I have ever seen before....ever....and reading various economic reports I wonder if it will ever be resolved.....
